The Hundred Years' War of Song and Jin Dynasties: The Age of Iron Blood and Red Hearts

The Battle of Tokyo In the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (the fifth year of Jintianhui, 1 127), Zong Ze, who stayed in Song and Tokyo, led the army to repel the attack of the Jin Army in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) and defend the Battle of Tokyo. In April of the second year of Jingkang (1 127), the Northern Song Dynasty was wiped out by Jin. In May, Zhao Gou, King Kang, was in Nanjing (now south of Shangqiu, Henan Province), which was the throne of Emperor Gaozong, and was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history. In June, according to Li Gang's suggestion, Song Ting stayed in Tokyo with Zongze, a famous anti-gold star. After Zong Ze came to power, he recruited soldiers, selected generals, actively contacted the rebels in Hedong, Hebei and Shaanxi, and implemented unified command. 65,438+0,200 decisive chariots were built, and the inspector led the department to step up training; Julian Village is also built around Tokyo and counties along the Yellow River to help each other and strengthen the defense along the Yellow River and Tokyo. Just as Zong Ze made up his mind to defend Tokyo, Emperor Gaozong was worried that the capital would be difficult to hold and moved to Yangzhou (now Jiangsu). Jin Taizong took advantage of the turmoil when the capital moved to the Central Plains in the Southern Song Dynasty and divided his troops to attack the Song Dynasty. On the eighth day of December, Hong Yan Han Zong, deputy marshal of Jinzuo, led the Central Army to defeat Song Jun in Heyang (now south of Mengxian County, Henan Province), crossed the Yellow River in the south, captured Sishuiguan (now northwest of Xingyang, Henan Province), and led the troops to attack Tokyo in the east with Hong Yan Zongfu, deputy marshal of Donglu.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty prepared to go south in a big way after the wheat matured in the coming year, and cooperated with the Jin Army that attacked Sichuan and Shaanxi, first occupying Jinghu Lake, then advancing eastward along the river, capturing Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) and destroying the Southern Song Dynasty. Xiangyang and other six counties are bordered by Qin and Shu in the west and wuyue in the east. They can enter and attack the Central Plains, and retreat and defend Huguang. In the spring of four years, on the west road south of the Yangtze River in Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was the first enemy of Shu and Qi, and then they went north to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and wrote to Song Ting: "The six counties in Xiangyang are in danger, and the Central Plains is basically restored." In March, Song Tingcai adopted Yue Fei's strategy and ordered him to be the envoy of Jingnan, Hubei and Yuezhou. In order to strengthen the strength, Dong Xian and other troops were placed under Yue Fei, while Hubei Lu Anfu made Yan, Cui Bangbi and Jingnan Town Fu temporarily transferred Yue Fei to contain them. Song Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to send troops in order to make peace by war, and he did not intend to counterattack the Central Plains. Therefore, in Zagreb, which sent troops to Yue Fei, he ordered Yue Fei to recover only six counties and not to cross the border. "When chasing the peak, I was careful not to leave the old-fashioned world of Hengli, but it led to provocation and wrong plans. Although he has made great achievements, Higuard has been punished. " In order to cooperate with and support Yue Fei's rise, Song Ting also ordered Huaidong to send Han Shizhong to take more than 10,000 soldiers to Si as suspected soldiers to divide the enemy's potential. Life huaixi destroy Chen, CAI (now huaiyang, runan) two states, to show unity. On April 19, Yue Fei led more than 30,000 troops from Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), crossed the river to the west via Ezhou (now Wuchang, Wuhan) and went to Jiangxin. Yue Fei swore to his subordinates: "Don't catch thieves and be handsome, return to your homeland and stay away from this river!" " On the fifth day of May, Song Jun arrived in Yunzhou, the southernmost town of the Puppet Manchukuo. The commander of the garrison, Jingchao, was a guard in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was known as "ten thousand enemies". Yue Fei's advance staff advised him to surrender, but he was sternly refused. Due to the lack of logistical support, the army only had enough food for two meals at this time, and Yue Fei had a well-thought-out plan. It is expected to break the city the next morning. At dawn the next day, Yue Fei sat under the standard and commanded the siege. Jing Chao also led the pseudo-Qi Shoujun to fight back according to the city, and the fighting was extremely fierce. Suddenly, a cannon stone landed at Yue Fei's feet and fled in panic. Yue Fei looks very safe. Soldiers stepped on their shoulders and rushed into the city, beheading thousands of pseudo-Qi troops, and Jing Chao committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. After Yue Fei captured Yingzhou, he immediately divided into two ways, ordered Zhang Xian and Xu Qingdong to attack Suizhou, and led the main force to Xiangyang along the Hanshui River. Li Chengwen, who was stationed in Xiangyang, personally led the army to attack and quickly led the army north. On 17th, Yue Fei entered Xiangyang. Zhang Xi 'an and Xu Qing attacked Suizhou, but failed for several days. Yue Fei ordered Niu Hao to lead an army to help. 18, Song Jun launched a general attack. Yue Yun, Yue Fei's eldest son, is brave and invincible. He was the first to rush to Chengtou. Song Jun broke the city in one fell swoop and captured more than 5,000 people under the county magistrate Wang Song. At the beginning of June, the rulers sent reinforcements from Hebei and Hedong to gather with the pseudo-Qi army in Xinye (now Henan), Longpi (now southeast of jia county, Henan), Zaoyang (now Hubei), Tang Zhou, Dengzhou and other places, claiming to be 300,000, in an attempt to recapture Xiangyang. After assessing the enemy's situation, Yue Fei first ordered Wang Wan to lead an army as bait to lure him to attack the Qingshui River in the northwest of Xiangyang. On the fifth day, Li Cheng launched an attack with all his strength. Yue Fei led the main force to detour from the flank and fought back with Wang Wanjun. The next day, Li Cheng stepped forward and rode 10 to fight back again. With his own strength several times that of Song Jun, he violated the routine of the art of war of infantry and cavalry, rashly disposed of them, left the cavalry on the bank of Xiangjiang River and died in the wilderness on the right. After seeing the loophole in Li Cheng's position, Yue Fei adopted a step-by-step and step-by-step tactic, ordering Wang Gui to lead the infantry to attack its cavalry with a pike, and Niu Hao to lead the cavalry to attack its infantry. After Song Jun's attack, the former cavalry of the puppet state of Qi was shattered, and the latter cavalry swarmed into the river. The dead are countless, lying dead for more than 20 miles, and Li Cheng led the people to flee at night. In order to contain the offensive, the rulers ordered Panxi to lead Shaanxi and Hebei to sign troops to reinforce the puppet troops, and together with Li and others, tens of thousands of soldiers set more than 30 villages in the northwest of Dengzhou in an attempt to fight Song Jun. After knowing the enemy's situation, Yue Fei sent troops to attack Dengzhou in July, and ordered Wang Gui and Zhang Xian to advance into Dengzhou from Guanghua (now northwest of laohekou city, Hubei) and Henglin (now northwest of Xiangfan) to carry out a joint attack. /kloc-on 0/5, a fierce battle was launched with the Jin and Qi allied forces in a place more than 30 miles away from Dengzhou. When the two armies fought fiercely, Yue Fei ordered Wang Wan and Dong Xian to take advantage of the situation and attack at one stroke. He captured more than 200 soldiers, including Yang Desheng, captured more than 200 horses and possessed tens of thousands of armor. Liu Hezhen and Li Chengling fled, leaving only Gao Zhongshou in Dengzhou. On the 17th, Yue Fei supervised the siege, and Yue Yun first entered the city, captured Gao Zhong and recovered Dengzhou. On the 23rd, Yue Fei ordered him to stop Jin and Qi reinforcements 30 miles north to cover Li Dao's recovery. On that day, Cui Bangbi captured Xinyang Army. After Yue Fei deployed the defense of six counties, he led the army to triumph in Ezhou.

The famous battle of Shunchang in the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 140), in which Liu Wei was stopped by the Song Dynasty and defeated the Jin Army in Shunchang County (now Fuyang, Anhui Province), was one of the thirteen great feats of the Southern Song Dynasty. In March of the ninth year of Shaoxing, a peace agreement was reached between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty returned Henan and Shaanxi areas originally ruled by the puppet Qi to the Southern Song Dynasty. In July, Zong Bi was promoted to viceroy, ready to defeat the allied forces to attack the Song Dynasty and recapture the land given to Henan and Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty. In May of the following year, the rulers divided their forces and attacked the Song Dynasty. Hong Yanzong Bi led the main force of 65,438+10,000, and attacked Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) on the 12th. /kloc-conquered Yingtianfu in Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan) on 0/4, and then went south. At that time, Liu, the new deputy left-behind in Tokyo in the Southern Song Dynasty, led 65,438+08,000 people from Lin 'an Prefecture (now Hangzhou) to Tokyo for business along the waterway. 15, when he arrived in Shunchang County, he learned that 8 Jin Army had broken the contract and captured Tokyo, and the striker had entered Chen Zhou (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), which is more than 300 miles away from Shunchang. Shunchang faces the water shadow in the north and the Huaihe River in the south, which is the key point to defend the Huaihe River and the only place for 8 Jin Army to go south. Knowing that Shunchang had enough food and grass, Liu Wen decided to make an agreement with the county magistrate to guard the city together and prevent 8 Jin Army from going south. In order to encourage the military and civilians to fight to the death with the Jin Army, he ordered the sinking ship to show that he had no intention of retreating, and moved thousands of people outside the city into the city. The dispatching department will guard the four gates, send the detective Jin Jun, mobilize the people to renovate the city defense, build more barriers, build sheep and horses outside the city, and set an ambush. After six days and nights of intense preparations, the defense deployment was initially completed. On the 25th, thousands of soldiers crossed Shui Ying and entered the suburb of Shunchang. Liu learned from the mouth of the captured Jin Jun that Jin Jianghan and other troops were camped in Bailong Vortex, more than 30 miles north of the city. Liu took advantage of his shaky footing and sent troops to attack overnight, winning the first battle. On the 29th, Jinsan Road was unified with Wanyanbao and Longhuwang, and Han Chang joined more than 30,000 people to enter Shunchang at the gates. Song Jun opened the gate, making 8 jin j afraid to enter. Liu took advantage of it unprepared, made the guarding city throw a strong bow and crossbow, waited for it to retreat, and made it step out of the city to pursue. Jin Jun fought to retreat across Ying River, and many people drowned. The second day of June; Liu Ye took a thunderstorm night, sent his troops to attack overnight, and returned home in triumph. Hong Yan praised the siege for being frustrated, so he sent someone to Tokyo to ask Hong Yanzong for help. On the fifth day, Liu learned that the main force of 8 Jin Army was coming to help, and decided to attack the city and fight to the death. Paralyzed 8 jin j, let the ministry deliberately captured 8 jin j, ran to the platoon, panicked and said that liu likes debauchery, don't know how to defend. Wan Yan Zongbi is credulous. In order to speed up the March, he left siege equipment and guns, making the army go into battle lightly. In less than seven days, he galloped more than 1200 Li, arrived in Shunchang on the seventh day, and swore to the generals that he would break the city in one day. On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Hong Yanzong's overseers stormed the east and west gates of Shunchang. Since then, they have led 3000 heavily armored cavalry to help. It was cold in the morning, and Liu insisted on not playing. In the afternoon, the weather was hot and 8 jin j was exhausted. Hundreds of advance troops went out to the west gate to feint. Just as the 8 Jin Army was about to go into battle, Liu sneaked out of the south gate with several elite soldiers, plunged into the enemy line, fought hand-to-hand with 8 Jin Army, controlled Korea and refused to retreat. All the foot soldiers risked their lives to forget their lives and wiped out more than 5,000 elite Jin soldiers in one fell swoop. Wan Yanzong Bi was hit hard by this, so he moved to the west of Yingcheng City to dig ditches for self-defense in an attempt to live in prosperity for a long time. It was a heavy rain, and Liu sent troops to attack at night, making it difficult for 8 Jin Army to keep the peace. 12, Wan Yan Zongbi was forced to retreat and return to Tokyo. The Battle of Yingchang in Yancheng was one of the important battles in Song Jun's Anti-Gold War in the early Southern Song Dynasty. 11In July, 40, Yue Jiajun, a famous anti-Jin general, defeated the Jin army in Yancheng and Yingchang successively, and achieved a key victory in going straight to the Central Plains and recovering the Heshuo plan. This campaign was the last decisive battle between Yue Fei and the main force of 8 Jin Army. Soon, Yue Fei was ordered to transfer troops, which wasted the favorable situation of resisting gold. In the 10th year of Shaoxing (1 140), in May, the rulers tore up the peace treaty signed with the Southern Song Dynasty the year before last, mobilized the army to attack Shaanxi, Shandong, Luoyang and Kaifeng in four ways, and then successfully captured Huaixi. As a result, Liu was defeated in Shunchang, and the all-round attack of 8 Jin Army was suppressed. Under the situation of successive victories of various armies in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei planned to unite with the rebels and cooperate with friendly forces to attack the Central Plains. According to its established policy of taking Xiangyang as the base, connecting Heshuo, attacking the Central Plains and restoring the old Xinjiang, Wang Gui, Niu Hao, Yang Zaixing, Li Bao, Zhang Xian and Fu Xuan were sent to Luoyang, Ruzhou, Zhengzhou (now Zhengzhou, Henan Province), Yingchang (now Xuchang, Henan Province), Chen Zhou and Cai Zhou, which were the scenic spots, to launch fierce offensives. And sent troops to meet Song Jun in the east and west respectively; At the same time, Liang Xing and others were sent to cross the Yellow River to contact Taihang Mountain rebels, and the camera recovered the lost land in Hedong and Hebei, echoing the north and south. At this point, Han Shizhong and his men set out from Huaiyang, and Zhang Jun and his men went north from Luzhou and Shouzhou. Zhang Jun has built thousands of ships in Fuzhou, ready to attack Shandong from the north by sea. Wu u and others have also made progress in fighting in Shaanxi, and he has always been afraid of the enemy like a tiger. Faced with the favorable situation that Song Jun is about to counterattack, they even made an absurd decision that "the soldiers can't make a move, but the soldiers can't move", demanding that all troops stop moving northward. To this end, Li special agricultural secretary arrived at Yue Fei military camp in De 'an Prefecture (now Anlu, Hubei Province) on June 22 to discuss military affairs and prevent Yue Fei's army from going north to the Central Plains. Yuefei Department has moved northward. He didn't accept the imperial edict brought by Li, and still acted as planned. In view of the situation at that time, Li agreed with Yue Fei's proposition and took the initiative to bear the charge of "amending the imperial edict". On June 25, the commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese army broke the position of 8 Jin Army between Chen and Cai. On June 20, Zhang Xian recovered Yingchang; 24, recovered dongzhou; The next day, Wang Gui's subordinate Yang Chengbu recovered Zhengzhou. On the second day of July, Zhang Ying and Han Qingke returned to Luoyang. In more than a month's time, Yue Fei led Lien Chan to victory, recovered a number of strategic locations from Luoyang to Chen and Cai, and formed a situation in which things went hand in hand and attacked the main force of Bianjing 8 Jin Army. In order to lure the 8 Jin Army south for a decisive battle, Yue Fei concentrated his main force in Yingchang area and stationed in Yancheng (now Yancheng, Henan).
