Why was the Eighth Jin Army wiped out in the "Three Three Wars"?

Speaking of the "Three Peaks War" in Song and Jin Dynasties at that time, as we all know, it was still very powerful. Nomads from the army was really invincible at that time, Song Jun was beaten out of the water, but the Three Saints War was different. It is said that the Jin army was wiped out, so someone asked, why on earth is this? Why is this happening? Let's analyze and reveal the secret together!

Speaking of the Three Holy Wars (located in the southwest of Yuzhou City, Henan Province, more than ten Li away from the city), it was pulled up in the open vilen, and it winds from west to east for more than twenty Li. The three peaks are lined with green, which has been one of the scenic spots in Yuzhou since ancient times. The highest peak, Xifeng, is about 330 meters above sea level, 8 kilometers long and 0.5 kilometers wide, and the mountain is gentle. One by one, listen to me. ...

In A.D. 1232, the Mongolian regime launched a final general attack on the State of Jin. The battle of the Three Saints took place in this year. In order to go further in the Mongolian Empire, Genghis Khan decided to let his third son, Wokuotai, be his successor. After Wokuotai succeeded to the throne, his political status was unstable. First, a lot of military power was held by Genghis Khan's second son, Torre, with 129000 military households, of which Torre inherited 1065438+. Although the second Wokuotai is the heir, it must be confirmed by Curry Thailand Association before it can officially become Khan. However, Wokuotai does not have the right to convene a meeting. Until two years later, after fierce games and complicated operations, Torre expressed his support for Wokuotai as Khan, and was finally promoted to Khan after the decision of the meeting.

This shows how fragile Wokuotai's ruling foundation is and how to consolidate it. The best way is to wage war, win the battle, gain political capital and regain power. /kloc-in the summer of 0/230, the generals of Wokuotai Congress discussed the strategy of destroying gold, and finally divided the troops into three ways to cut gold:

Wokuotai led the middle route army to attack the house in the river (Yongji), cross the Yellow River and attack Bianjing (now Kaifeng).

Uncle Hanti Jinchi of the Second Road Family led the Left Army south from Shandong.

Three-way dad led the right army south from Baoji, Shaanxi Province, through the Song Dynasty, and south from Hanzhong and Ankang along the Hanshui River, attacking the hinterland of Jin Guo, forming a flank of Nanjing.

Both the middle road and the left road are frontal operations, just flatten them directly, and the technical content is not high. The right is a circuitous battle, which involves not only going over mountains and mountains, but also facing various unknown situations, such as getting lost, supplying, the attitude of the Song Dynasty to this battle, and whether the State of Jin is unprepared. If you play well, you can deal a fatal blow to Xu Jin. If you don't fight well, you may be wiped out. Wokuotai gave Tuo Lei the task of narrow escape. For Wokuotai, Xu Jin is the enemy and Tuo Lei is the enemy. Wokuotai is a winner regardless of success or failure.

123 1 year, Tuo Lei led an army of 40,000 troops on the right and arrived in Fengxiang. He sent an envoy to Dasong Sichuan to make Guiruyuan, hoping that Dasong would take the road and both sides would send troops to attack Xu Jin as well. If Gui Ruyuan didn't agree, he promised to provide guides and food for the Mongolian army for fear that it would turn against him. The Mongols left Tang Zhou and Dengzhou along the Hanshui River, and the whole army joined forces in Bianjing the following spring. In September of the same year, the Mongolian armed forces were launched in unison. In the first month of the following year, Wokuotai occupied Zhengzhou, and its vanguard troops had arrived at the gates of Kaifeng. Jin Aizong hastily presided over the military meeting and decided to mobilize his own elite troops, including Xiao Zhongjun150,000, cavalry 20,000 and infantry130,000 to return to the division for rescue. Because the Jin people didn't expect the Mongols to bypass the Song Dynasty, they were not prepared enough before the war. In order to support quickly and go into battle lightly, Zhong Xiaojun left a lot of grain and hay at the station, and only took three days of dry food when he set out.

Sansheng, south of Zhou Jun, was pursued by Tuo Lei's army. The Mongolian army occupied favorable terrain and the two sides launched a battlefield. On the one hand, it is a storm at all costs, on the other hand, it is a desperate struggle. Although the Mongolian army is good at shooting, it can't hold the nomadic people, and the loyalty and filial piety army is not a vegetarian. The hills occupied by the Mongolian army fell down one by one, and each hill was badly beaten, and both sides suffered heavy losses! After three days of war, Tuo Lei and his men retreated to San San, and 8 Jin Army was exhausted, and all the food he brought was eaten up. Just as 8 jin j once again summoned up his courage and launched a final blow to the remnants of meng jun, however, the weather didn't allow it, and it snowed heavily. But also accompanied by a mountain stream filled with dense fog, resulting in almost no one being seen 2 meters away. The attacking Jin army lost its direction and the war was forced to stop. Originally, 8 jin j's attack was a spent force. The persistent hard fighting and harsh environment made these southern soldiers overdraw their physical strength, and finally their confidence and courage quickly melted under fog and snow. They have no choice but to wait for the weather to improve in hunger. Who knows it snowed for three days and nights.

According to records, it snowed for a while and people didn't meet each other. It snowed for three days, and there were many fields on the battlefield. Often people plow four or five times, and the mud has no legs. The sergeant froze in the snow, his knife and gun frozen. Some soldiers haven't eaten for three days.

The once-in-a-century snow, poor eyesight to 8 jin j couldn't attack! To make matters worse, the heavily armored cavalry was always ready to take the lead and suddenly cooled down. After one night, armor and weapons were frozen together by flesh and blood, and most of them lost their fighting capacity! The Mongolian army is used to the cold in the north, which is of no help to the heavy snow. Coupled with the ample supply of grain and grass, 1.5 million troops were almost completely annihilated by the heroic Mongolian army. The March 3rd War was a decisive battle in the Mongolian-Jin War. At this point, the ruler has been tottering, not far from extinction.
