Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The factional struggles in the Kingdom of Jin became very messy. Before that, there was a faction of veteran warlords headed by Wanyan Zonghan against the other faction headed by Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyanchang of the Kingdom of Jin. The two factions are basically fighting for the right to speak in the country. It seems that the factions are clear and the goals are simple.However, a sudden emergence of a person disrupted everything.Wanyan Zongbi, this little brother didn't know how to do it, he used to be very obedient, hiding in the back of his brothers and walking in a regular manner, after leading the army and fighting a few battles alone in the past few years, he suddenly refused to accept discipline.

He despises these seniors who lie on the credit book and sleep and only know how to fight in the nest, thinking that they have lost the martial spirit of the Jurchens.And he is the one who wants to revive the military power of the Jurchen, he wants to conquer the Quartet with pure force, and reproduce the divine power of his father Wanyan Aguda! He has been fighting for this goal all his life. No matter who stands in his way, even if it is a nobleman more prominent than him in the Jurchen clan, he will fight head-to-head and never die. He really did this, and Wan Yanchang's peace proposal was suppressed by him, which led to Qin Hui's one-man show in the Southern Song Dynasty, which ended in embarrassment.The current situation is also helping him. Two incidents happened in a short period of time, allowing him to quickly seize power within the Kingdom of Jin.

The first thing was that in December of the second year of Song Shaoxing (AD 1132), the Song army suddenly took the initiative to attack the puppet Qi. This attack did not leave a deep mark in history, but its attack strength and brilliant achievements were not inferior to the thirteen military exploits summed up in the Southern Song Dynasty.It even almost fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the people of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the puppet Qi had already moved the capital from Daming Mansion to Kaifeng City, and Liu Yujiu occupied the magpie's nest and forcibly occupied the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty.He recruited more than 100,000 rural soldiers, organized them into twelve armies, and stationed along the banks of the Yellow River and Huaihe River, as well as in Shaanxi, Shandong and other places, and peeked into the Southern Song Dynasty.

It looks huge, but in fact it is full of flaws, and the troops on every front are weak.As long as the Southern Song Dynasty sent troops, it would definitely be able to break through the barriers and invade the Huaihe area. At that time, many people saw this clearly, but it was Li Heng, the governor of Xiangyang, and Zhai Cong, the governor of Henan, Mengzhou, Ruzhou, and Tangzhou, who sent troops. Neither of these two men were from the regular army of the Song Dynasty. They were spontaneously formed rebels when the North fell.Even if he had the official title of the Song Dynasty at this time, he was still excluded from the mainstream.

History has proved that no matter what era it is in, the most active and fastest-moving people in the War of Resistance are non-mainstream personnel.Is this a coincidence?There should be a huge problem hidden in it! Li Heng and Zhai Cong led troops to the Northern Expedition, which was the first Northern Expedition in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty.Their subordinates included Peng Ke, Zhao Qi, Dong Xian, Zhang Ke, Dong Zhen and others, and there was another man named Niu Gao. After Li Hengjun crossed the river, he swept across the two Huaihe Rivers, and went straight to Henan, even conquering Ruzhou, Yingchang, Xinyang and other places.Zhai Cong's army attacked the vast area between Zhengzhou in the east and Jingzhao in the west, and formed a situation of encircling Kaifeng from the west and south with Li Hengjun.

The offensive was rapid, and by the second month of the year, the two armies had already reached the outskirts of Kaifeng City.This was a record that was unexpected by the enemy and us. Not only Liu Yu did not expect it, but the Southern Song Dynasty was also unprepared.Other friendly forces, like Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong's armies on the Yangtze River defense line, are far away from each other. Even if they rush to support them, it will be too late. But Jin Guo had time to send troops.Liu Yu panicked. He knew that asking for help would mean losing weight in Jurchen's heart, but he couldn't care less.This was in the arms of Jin Wushu, he was really looking forward to anything, and when he wanted to fight, his opponent came.He set off with elite soldiers from his direct lineage, and formed a powerful coalition army of nearly 100,000 with Li Cheng, a puppet Qi general, and fought a decisive battle with Li Heng and Zhai Cong's army at Yangchigang on the outskirts of Kaifeng.

The battle line is too long and the supplies are not enough.The long-term battle reduced the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song Dynasty, and the Battle of Yangchigang was their end.Li Heng and Zhai Cong were defeated. Facts proved that they really tried their best, because they could no longer support them.The Northern Expeditionary Army retreated all the way and lost all the territory it had captured before.Taking advantage of the situation, the allied forces of Jin and Qi counterattacked and chased after them, successively capturing Dengzhou (now in Henan), Suizhou (now in Hubei), Xiangyang and Yingzhou (now in Zhongxiang, Hubei) and other places.

In other words, the Northern Expedition lost even its own base. Li Heng and others retreated to Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) before they stabilized the situation.At this time, the situation was critical to an unprecedented degree. The puppet Qi not only opened a gap in the defense line of the Yangtze River, putting a large hinterland in the south of the Yangtze River at risk, but also cut off the channel between the Song court and Sichuan and Shaanxi.They can go up the river to attack Shuchuan, or they can go down the river to attack Wuyue.In order to win, Liu Yu also sent someone to contact Yang Yao, the leader of the rebel army in Dongting Lake, and planted a nail in advance.

In short, the defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty was suddenly riddled with holes, and the Jin and Qi coalition forces could fight whatever they wanted.But after waiting for a long time, Jin Wushu did not appear. Instead of striking while the iron was hot, he led his soldiers to the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest to practice climbing. Because the chances were better there, after the defeat of Monk Yuan, Sa Liyao, who was staying in Shaanxi, had a sudden bravery, defeated Wu Jie head-on, and opened up another channel from Shaanxi to Sichuan. This news shocked the entire Kingdom of Jin, and it was a windfall.How about breaking through the Yangtze River defense line? First Shu and then Jiangnan, this is the most cost-effective attack route.Don't hesitate any longer, immediately deploy heavy troops to support Sa Liyao, and completely defeat Wu Jie.

In order to successfully enter Shuchuan and settle down in Shuchuan, Jin Wushu dispatched troops this time, in addition to bringing all the heavy troops that could be mobilized, he even brought the families of the heavy soldiers with him. Before starting the battle, let's review the just-concluded battle between Sa Li and Wu Jie.This time, what they are fighting for is not Monk Yuan, but Rao Fengguan.Let's look at the map. As we all know, Shaanxi is above the Shuchuan River and is the latter's natural barrier.Taking Xi'an as a reference point, we can clearly see the battle lines of the Song and Jin armies during this period of time.

Xi'an is parallel to the west, which is the direction of Baoji. There are many scenic spots along the way, such as Maoling of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhaoling of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Wuzhangyuan where Marquis Wu of the Shu Han died, the tomb of Concubine Yang, and the Chencang Ancient Road of "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang", etc. all on this line.After arriving in Baoji, it is the place where Dasan Pass, Monk Yuan, and Wu Jie defeated the Jin soldiers. This is a line, where Jin Wushu hit his head badly.Sally is very smart, he knows that his military strength is not as good as the fourth prince's, and his courage is much worse, so he gave up this line. His main attack direction is directly below Xi'an, that is, the south, the direction of today's Chongqing City.Shuchuan is vast, and the border between it and Shaanxi is long and long, and it can still break through from here. In this way, the center of gravity of the war suddenly shifted, and broke away from Wu Jie's force center.Fortunately, Wu Jie is a talented coach. He had already made a comprehensive estimate of the war, and he was also prepared in this direction. After the battle of Heshangyuan, Wu Jie withdrew slightly to the rear of Baoji, arrived at Hechi near Huixian County in what is now Gansu, and set up his base camp here.He handed over the monk Yuan to his second brother Wu Lin, and sent Wang Yan, the former general of the Bazi Army, to garrison Jinzhou (now Ankang, Shaanxi), thus forming a triangle, which can be echoed by all parties. Jinzhou is the point of attack for this time. After several years, Wang Yan once again became the focus of the war.The location of Jinzhou is really dangerous. Looking at the map, it is directly below Chongqing City. Everyone knows that there are all waterways from Chongqing to Sichuan, and it is a turbulent and dangerous shoal upstream.To fight from here, in addition to paying a huge price, you must also have a strong navy. These are not something that Sally can bear. But, bypass Golden State?The Xingyuan Mansion (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi) behind it is the right way to enter Shu, and even a little further to Yangping Pass, which was the official way to enter Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. It's all common sense, it's impossible for Sa Li to not know, but he just didn't dare to attack Hanzhong directly, that way, Wu Jie from the direction of Hechi would quickly come forward, and Wang Yan behind him would close the door and beat the dog, and he would die in the Near Hanzhong. Wu Jie chose Jinzhou, forcing the Jin army to attack and Wang Yan to defend.The battle has begun.Although Wang Yan has a great reputation, he was a famous general among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who became famous very early and established himself very upright, but his strength is no longer as good as when he crossed the river to fight.At that time, he handed over the elite of the Eight Character Army to the imperial camp.When he left the imperial camp, except for his taller and taller image, he was almost empty-handed. In the Western Army, Wang Yan was just an ordinary general under Wu Jie, and he could bring as many soldiers as he was given.Think about it, Wu Jie himself has less than 10,000 troops, so how high can his combat power be?Sa Lihe gathered all the Jin troops in Shaanxi to fight to Jinzhou, and Wang Yan led his troops to defend, but it was still useless.Although Jinzhou City was broken, he bought Wu Jie precious time. Time is most valuable at this time.The target of Sa Li Drink is Xingyuan Mansion.There is a pass between Xingyuan Mansion and Jinzhou, named Raofeng Pass.It is located among the high mountains, and its dangerous places are comparable to those of the monks. It is the last barrier to the east of Xingyuan Mansion.If the Jin army occupied it first, the host and guest would change positions in an instant, and the Song army would have to play Jin Wushu and take human lives to get it back. General Liu Ziyu of Xingyuan Mansion immediately sent troops to rob Raofengguan, and at the same time urgently reported to Wu Jie for support.Wu Jie gathered his elite and personally led the army. He galloped for more than 300 li a day and rushed to Raofengguan before Sa Liyue. This speed almost made Wanyan Sali cry.This Wanyan Saliyin is actually very good at fighting, and he is super resistant to fighting. He is the longest-lived one in the first generation of Wanyan, but the lacrimal glands are too developed... But Wu Jie is too much.Hechi is far away in Gansu, and the distance between Raofengguan and Jinzhou is more than half that of Jinzhou. Moreover, it was Xingyuan Mansion who asked for help before Wu Jie led people to rush over.Sa Liyao couldn't figure out why he was late. Could it be that the Jurchen horses had degenerated? The price of being late was too great, and he had to be sad and angry.He has to use his life to fill the deep ditch in front of Raofengguan like he did to storm the monk.Thinking about what happened to the fourth prince before, he really hated him so badly. It was useless to say anything, and Sa Lihe ordered the Jin army to attack by force, and to break through this barrier at all costs.In order to achieve his goal, Sa Lihe thought of a super stupid trick. He ordered the Jin army to dismount, put on heavy armor, and attack with full armor.According to research, the standard heavy armor in the Song Dynasty generally weighed fifty-eight catties, while one catty in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to two taels per catty in modern times. That is to say, Jurchen soldiers had to carry more than sixty-nine catties to cross the Qinling Mountains. At the same time, you have to face the bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones of the Song army. Looking back at history, even the Jurchen army in the Wanyan Aguda era hadn't done this kind of work. At this time, the Jurchen nation had been founded for almost 20 years, and at least three new recruits had been replaced. It was too blunt and too demanding to do so. up. Kezali had to do this.After Raofengguan, there will be no dangers in Shaanxi, unless you go to Yangpingguan, the ancient road to Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, otherwise you will be able to see the middle of Sichuan. This is also the reason why Wu Jie must work hard.If he fails, it will be tantamount to ruining the entire Shuchuan and even Jiangnan rivers and mountains!Both sides are desperate.For six days and six nights, the fighting never stopped. The corpses of the Jin army lay in front of Raofengguan, but the Jurchens behind stepped on the corpses and continued to attack.They are really using their lives to pile up their records and try their best to crush Wu Jie. This idea was given up by Sa Lihe in the early morning of the seventh day. He did it harder and harder than Jin Wushu, but unfortunately it didn't work for Wu Jie.After six days and nights of strong attack, he got nothing. He didn't know what the limit of Wu Jie's tolerance was. However, he didn't worry about this matter any more, the reality made him cry with joy, these were definitely tears of joy, he loved the Han people to death, and since then he understood why His Royal Highness the fourth prince is always so lucky. The Han people will take the initiative to come to help! A local Han, who was otherwise said to be a traitor in Wu Jie's army, told him that there was a very concealed path leading to the back of Raofeng Pass, and that a commanding view from there would turn Wu Jie into a defender. The biggest difference between Raofengguan and Heshangyuan is that Heshangyuan is the commanding height near Dashanguan, while Raofengguan is built on the mountainside.This unknown traitor decided the direction of the battle. When Jin Jun suddenly appeared behind him, Wu Jie was really caught off guard! Attacking up and down, Wu Jie was defeated, and Rao Fengguan fell. However, Sa Lihe couldn't be happy. Under such circumstances, he failed to capture or kill Wu Jie alive, and even Wu Jie's troops were not defeated.Counting after the war, it was as if Wu Jie had withdrawn from Raofengguan! It's useless to win... However, Jin Taizu defeated the Liao Emperor's personal army because of an accident. Victory is victory!Sa Lihe collected his mood and rushed to Xingyuan Mansion.Shaanxi has fallen, and the gate of Shuchuan is opening to him. He believes that the wealth and beauties in Shuchuan and Jiangnan will definitely make him happy. However, what awaited him was a city-wide conflagration, and Liu Ziyu burned down all the Xingyuan Mansion could.With no place to live, no food, no reinforcements, at the critical moment, Jinzhou in the rear was suddenly taken back by Wang Yan.Sa Lihe summed it up, it seems that after conquering Raofengguan, he was shut down and beaten.The reality required him to either rely on the army in his hand to raise his own food and pay, enter Shuchuan, and gain a firm foothold; or immediately retreat, return to Fengxiang's surroundings, and return to his old lair. In that way...does the road he piled up with his life still make sense?Could it be that he set up an open-air cemetery just to make his soldiers wear heavy armor and fall at the foot of the Qinling Mountains? The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He hated himself for not expecting this before starting the war.In fact, this situation is not impossible to solve. As long as the follow-up troops are in place in time, then Wang Yan, Wu Jie, and Liu Ziyu will all become bereaved dogs. However, there were no follow-up troops at all, and all the people in Shaanxi were in his hands, so if they were to be found again, they would have to ask for someone from the headquarters camp.So, he sent an emergency letter for help to the fourth prince. Jin Wushu immediately put down the defense line of the Yangtze River and rushed over immediately.It's just that no matter how fast he is, it will be two months later, and he and Sa Lihe can only meet up at Fengxiang Mansion to re-discuss which route to break through Shaanxi and enter Shu. For others, this problem is a technical problem, such as discussing which line has more passes, and the Song Army has more troops, but for Jin Wushu, it is a character problem. He directly chose Monk Yuanxian.This was an eternal pain in his heart. If he didn't kill his nemesis Wu Jie on this old road, he would not be able to determine his identity as the Jurchen God of War.This was the first time he failed completely! So without further ado, he once again led an army of 100,000 to approach the Dasan Pass in the Qinling Mountains, and re-climbed to Shangyuan. Actual combat has proved that courage is the first element of war in the era of cold weapons. Wanyan Zongbi really has the guts. He led people to attack Monk Yuan by storm. Those who failed to capture back then must win this time.After he climbed to the top of Dasan Pass, he was dressed in the wind with a big heart.He is the Golden Wushu, destined to rule the world and open up territories for Jurchen! However, he ate a fly later, and someone told him that it was not Wu Jie who guarded the monk this time, but Wu Jie's younger brother Wu Lin... Bah, disappointment!Fortunately, Wu Jie was waiting for him at Immortal Pass not far ahead, where they would have a special reunion. Xianrenguan, bordering Jialing River in the west, bordering Lueyang North in the south, and Yuguan in the north, is a pivotal place adjacent to Tieshan Plank Road.More intuitively, it is in the southeast of Hechi, Wu Jie's base camp.In this way, it is the strongest stronghold of the Shaanxi Song Army in terms of geography and military strength. Jin Wushu approached Xianrenguan with the remaining prestige of breaking the Yangtze River and Ke Shangyuan, and proceeded cautiously.Wu Jie was his lifelong enemy, the only person from the Song Dynasty who defeated him head-on. This time, no matter what, he couldn't make a mistake. He had to take the Immortal Pass cautiously and perfectly, and complete all his achievements in one battle.It's a pity that just as soon as he set up camp, his beautiful thoughts were shattered by one person. Guoying, one of his beloved Han generals, led his troops towards Xianrenguan without even saying hello.Judging from this posture, he wanted to single out Wu Jie and end the war with his own strength. Jin Wushu was furious, and sang against him before the battle, this was a major event to deliberately destroy him!In a hurry, he didn't send anyone to chase after him, but jumped on his horse and chased after him. To say that Quying is really an excellent international fighter, for the benefit of the Jurchens, he didn't care about anything, and he focused on killing Wu Jie.At this moment, he forgot his blood relationship, his ancestors, and his master's anger. Even though he saw Jin Wushu chasing him with anger on his face, he remained indifferent and continued to charge. Furious, Jin Wushu chased after him, drew out his knife, and slammed the back of the knife at Guoying's helmet.While smoking, ask, why why why why not obey orders? Gouying continued to rush as if he had no pain, no dizziness, and no nerves, and ignored him at all.Jin Wushu was so angry that he went mad. This time, he moved the saber forward, but it was still the back of the saber, but it stabbed at the back of Yueying. Yuying stopped.Jin Wushu took a lot of effort, even though it is the back of the sword, it is likely to stab the back of the heart.He stopped and explained why he wanted to seize the time to attack. He believes that with Wu Jie's defensive strength, Xianrenguan's dangerous terrain, and the strength of the Song Army's base camp in Hechi, it will be difficult to move. If more time is allowed for the Song Army in Shaanxi to quickly gather for help, then Xianrenguan will be unbreakable. Guo Ying concluded that the most important thing in this battle is not the terrain, but the timing... Before he finished speaking, the vital parts such as the head and the back of the heart were hit N times by Jin Wushu, like a duck. were driven back to the camp. Jin Wushu was very puzzled, a dog does not have the consciousness of a dog, when will it be the dog's turn to make decisions? In this way, Jin Wushu fully recuperated his troops, carefully surveyed the terrain, and seized a commanding height on the line of Qingniling about 40 miles northeast of Xianrenguan.The terrain here is higher than Xianrenguan. If you lead the horses up and charge from here, the Song army will have to shoot upwards to attack. He feels that this is the factor that determines the outcome of the war.As for other things, for example, for the past six days, Wu Jie's younger brother has been fighting with Jin Jun every day, getting closer to him step by step, and finally reuniting, it's not worth mentioning. On February 27th in the fourth year of Song Shaoxing (1134 A.D.), Wanyan Zongbi led more than 100,000 Jin troops to attack Xianrenguan.From this moment on, according to the old rules, he and Wu Jie will decide the outcome according to the day and time. The battle is on.This time, the Jin Army is much stronger than when they climbed with bare hands in the monk field. They can ride a horse and dive from 40 miles away... Isn't it more difficult?From a distance of twenty kilometers, even the fastest modern sports car will take three minutes to arrive. What did Jin Wushu think back then? Unknown, anyway, he rushed to Xianrenguan desperately, but was blocked by a narrow and long mountain ridge in the northeast of Xianrenguan. This ridge was like a natural city wall, blocking them so firmly. Later, Wanyan Zongbi learned that Wu Jie named this ridge "Shajinping". The battle unfolded at the frontier of Shajinping, where there was a Song army camp, guarded by the commander Guo Zhen.This is a brave and determined general. He fought head-to-head with the Jin army and withstood the impact of more than 30 rounds. This number is astonishing, and it hides the secret of why the Jurchen army defeated the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty and was invincible.Before, when the Song army fought with the Xixia people, the Xixia people also charged on horseback, but if they lost at most three times, the battle for the day would end.The Jurchens are different, they will continue to attack, once they lose, they will go twice, and after the two times, there will be a third, fourth... until dark. This intensity was later broken by the Mongols, and before that, no one could do it.After more than 30 consecutive rounds of fierce fighting, Guo Zhen couldn't hold on anymore, and he led his troops back to Shajinping. He was wrong. In the past, he could be said to have been defeated, but now he is advancing but not retreating. He shouldn't be retreating.Wu Jie sent an order to kill him on the spot, and used his head to order the whole army to hold on and not to retreat.Anyone who retreats, even my own younger brother, will kill him! Jin Jun attacked to kill Jinping. The person guarding and killing Jinping was Wu Jie's younger brother Wu Lin. Wu Lin, courtesy name Tang Qing, was born in 1102 AD.He has been fighting under his brother's hand.In my impression, he is like a shadow of my brother.In fact, the merits of the two are superimposed, and no one can do without the other. For example, this time, Wu Lin fought bloody battles for six days, almost stepping on the corpse of Jin Jun to come to his brother.In addition to bringing a rare new force, there is another more important suggestion. This suggestion determined the course of the campaign. Strictly speaking, Raofengguan, Xianrenguan, and Shajinping all have fatal weaknesses of one kind or another, and none of them can reach the degree of danger of Heshangyuan.As for Shajinping specifically, it is a narrow and long natural mountain range, and it is very dangerous. What is terrible is that the line of defense is too long, far inferior to that of Monk Yuan and Rao Fengguan.The huge Jin army launched an attack here, making it difficult for Wu Jie, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, to deal with it. This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Jie sent Guo Zhen out of Ping to fight. The Jin army attacked Shajinpingxia at dusk that day.Looking at the time, Jin Wushu was very desperate. He couldn't forget the last time he was forced by the Song army to fail to eat, and ran for his life down the mountain in a black light.But suddenly, his eyes lit up with a green light.What an ideal line of defense, it was simply the favorite of the Jurchen cavalry. He and Han Chang divided into east and west routes, each responsible for one end, and organized cavalry to attack in turn.For a while, the focus was on the east end, and for a while the troops were concentrated on the west end. This change was uncertain, forcing the Song army on the Ping to follow them. During the long killing of Jinping, Song Jun was racing against Jurchen's horse legs.In this way, no one could hold on, and it didn't take long before a gap appeared in the defense line.Before the sky completely darkened, the cavalry of the Jin Army rushed into Shajinping, and Wu Lin was forced to retreat. Immortal Guan is close in front of his eyes... Jin Wushu suddenly calmed down in his ecstasy, and he ordered the whole army to be on guard, guarding all sides, and being more careful than when attacking during the day. Wu Jie can do anything at night. However, to his surprise, the night was peaceful and nothing happened.The next day, Song Jun still did not move.Jin Wushu was overjoyed. He seized the time to transport all kinds of disassembled parts up from the bottom of the mountain, and assembled them into the cannon (large catapult) at that time on Shajinping.This was the strongest siege weapon at that time, and he didn't believe it would not be able to defeat Wu Jie on the mountain! On the morning of the 29th, Jin Wushu marched towards Xianrenguan with more than 30 cannons. He was full of confidence and high spirits until he found a roadblock ahead. A large jungle-like antlers and wooden fences blocked the road ahead.These are nothing, Jin Wushu didn't go crazy, what made him go crazy was the things behind the roadblock. That is not Immortal Pass, but another temporary barrier!He began to regret, why should he delay the whole day's work?Look at what Song Jun has done. In comparison, the more than 30 "cannons" he built himself are really not enough. Thinking about it this way, he made another mistake.Although Wu Jie always made him look ashamed, this time it was not that simple.This second pass between Shajinping and Xianren Pass has been repaired long ago.The construction time was only during the six days he rested before the war.At that time, Wu Lin had a bloody battle with the Jin army, and moved closer to his brother. He once sent someone to pass a sentence: "The place to kill Jinping is still far away from the original. The front line is scattered. It is better to rule the second pass. If you say you must fight to the death, you can win." This sentence is the key to determining the outcome of this battle.Wu Jie was awakened immediately. The inherent conditions of killing Jinping determined that it was unreliable, and the second line of defense built temporarily was the basis of survival. He ordered his younger brother to give up killing Jinping, but to defend the second pass no matter what!We must not let the flames of war spread to the head of the Immortal Pass, by then it will be too late. Everything serves this combat idea.Now, if Jin Wushu wanted to attack the second pass, he had to clear the roadblock first, otherwise his "cannon" didn't even have enough range, so how could he attack. Clearing the barricades cost Jin Jun blood, and they had to get off their horses to move.It was this extremely simple action that exposed them to Song Jun's bows and arrows, making them slow-moving but nowhere to hide targets.When they finally got the "cannon" within range and ready to fire, they were going crazy. They fired like hell, trying to smash the damn Song Dynasty people... After that, they really went crazy.More stones were fired from the position of the second pass, and they rushed over like mountains and seas! They forgot that the large-scale catapults were originally invented by the people of the Song Dynasty, and the reason why they had them was made by Han craftsmen for them.Since Wu Jie was determined to guard the Immortal Pass, why didn't he prepare such a weapon? At this time, there were big rocks all over the Qinling Mountains, and the second pass was in a condescending position, which caused the tragedy of the Jurchen soldiers. Limited to the service life of the wooden catapult, the "meteor shower" finally stopped.Jin Wushu wanted to cry but had no tears, his pupils were filled with blood, and he ordered the cavalry to attack to flatten the second pass!Of course, the venue had to be cleaned up before that. The ground is full of big rocks... On the evening of the 29th, the Jurchen cavalry finally lined up and attacked the Song Army's position.At this time, the setting sun is like blood, and morale is booming.Based on the Jurchen's 20-year combat practice, they will be unstoppable under such circumstances, and the temporary barrier in front of them will be broken in one blow. Jin Qi charged desperately.When rushing halfway, a small incident happened suddenly, which they had not encountered for a long, long time.Song Jun actually left the second pass and came out to fight them on the ground! There are quite a few of these Song troops, several thousand.After all, the terrain around Shajinping is long and narrow, and it can accommodate as many people as possible.Looking at their feet, the Jurchen cavalry were very relaxed. People in the Song Dynasty ran with their feet without horses. This is enough to determine the outcome of this battle.However, seeing the guy in the hands of these people, the Jurchen soldiers couldn't help but tremble. The weapon in the hands of the Song army is not very common. It was called "Zhan Ma Jian" before the Tang Dynasty, and it was called "Mo Dao" after the Tang Dynasty. "Tang Liudian" records: "There are four types of swords. One is called Yi Dao, the second is called Barrier Dao, the third is called Heng Dao, and the fourth is called Mo Dao." This kind of sword is one foot long and has two blades. Or nine feet, each foot is thirty centimeters in modern times, that is to say, the length of this kind of knife is at least two meters or more.If this weapon is used on the battlefield, it can be described in eight words—— With one blow, all the people and horses will be destroyed! This weapon is another nightmare for the Jurchens.The Mo Dao and the Divine Arm Bow are the embodiment of craftsmanship and wisdom, and they are the two sharp weapons of the Han nationality with advanced technology to deal with the barbarian nation.One of them can attack from a distance, and the other can fight in close combat, which is incomparable in brute force and so-called courage. In the evening of that day, the Song Army, led by General Yang Zheng, rushed to the Jin Army's cavalry formation with a sword raised.After that, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there was chaos.The Jurchens never imagined that their most proud cavalry, after being resentful for a long time and accumulating enough anger, was actually chopped into pieces, and they were also considered the weakest nation Chopped! It was getting dark, and Jin Wushu's heart became cold, so he sent an order to withdraw the troops. On the 29th, the Golden Army ended in a disastrous defeat. On the 30th, the command of the Jin army's attack obviously fell into the hands of Sa Liyue, who used the stupid trick that Rao Fengguan successfully experimented with.The Jin army stopped riding horses and became infantry. These people walk very slowly.On the mountain road, the team lined up very neatly.This is very good. The archers of the Song Army habitually shoot with their bows and hit them accurately, but not many people fell down. God arm bow failed? Song Jun continued to shoot again, and finally some fell.However, they found that the fallen golden army was still moving.Strange, never before!The fight continued, and Song Jun discovered the reason after more contacts.It turned out that everyone in the Jin Army was wearing double-layer heavy armor, and the team was connected with iron hooks back and forth, forming a huge, bloated but unbreakable whole.No matter how slow they are, they will firmly advance to the second pass. Heavy armor, as mentioned earlier is 69 catties a pair, double-layer is close to 140 catties, plus the weight of knives and guns, plus the weight of the companions around, this kind of load is incredible, and at the same time must keep pushing, and Ready to fight Song Jun hand to hand at any time. Sa Li is extremely vicious against both the enemy and us. On this day, he rode on a horse and looked around the mountainside for a long time. According to his experience, he felt that the second pass should be unable to hold on. It was just a temporary barrier, and it could not be stronger than Raofengguan and the monk's original formation.Moreover, from the commander's point of view, it will not be worth the loss if it continues. After all, Wu Jie still has the Immortal Guan Tianxian, so there is no need to exhaust everything here. Thinking of this, he delivered his victory speech in advance: "I got it!" After speaking, he turned and returned to the camp, waiting for the good news.This is a kind of demeanor, which is unique to coaches and decision makers. He is showing off his calculation ability and anticipation ability. It is a pity that he made a mistake, and the Jin army stormed to the end, but failed to break through the second pass.This temporary fortress has become an insurmountable moat. Sa Lihe was very surprised, he didn't feel that his judgment was wrong, but the fact was true, what happened?In fact, in the second pass, Wu Lin was almost at the limit. Faced with the strong attack of the Jin army, some of Wu Lin's subordinates wavered. They suggested retreating. After all, the degree of danger of the barrier determines the rate of battle damage. The two concepts are exhausted here, and more people die. Wu Lin's answer was to draw a line on the ground with his knife drawn out, saying: "If you die, you will die, and anyone who crosses this line will be beheaded!" When Wu Jie killed Guo Zhen, he said that killing Jinping is not allowed to give up, and whoever loses it will be killed, even his own brother.But if Killing Jinping is really lost, and if the second pass also gives up, Wu Jie will become a joke, and Wu Lin will make life worse than death! The situation was dangerous, and Wu Lin did not blindly suppress it. He confessed to his subordinates that the Jin army was the attacking party, and the consumption would be even greater. As long as they survived for another day, the Jin army would surely retreat. On the thirty-first day, the fifth day of the Battle of Immortal Pass and the fourth day of the actual battle, Wu Lin's prediction began.On this day, the Jin army's offensive was unprecedentedly fierce.Sa Liho came to the battlefield in person and designated a breakthrough—a turret in the northwest corner of the second pass. I finally knew that I had made a fixed-point breakthrough, but I didn't know if it was an improvement or a humiliation. When they broke through Kaifeng, the Jin army used azimuth attacks.But it worked, and after a while, they knocked the watchtower out of order. The Jin army cheered, whether it was crooked, fell, or occupied, anyway, the gap was opened...Suddenly, a long rope made of cloth and silk was thrown out, pulling the building straight. Jin Jun is very depressed, is this okay?They came to a more thorough, set fire!Whether it is brick or wood, I don't believe that it can't be destroyed by fire...Suddenly, a large piece of water poured down from upstairs, and the fire was extinguished. According to later historical records, there was no water on the upper floor, and it was the wine brought up by Yao Zhong, the commander of the Song Army.Can alcohol put out a fire?The answer is very likely.In the Song Dynasty, there was no distilled wine, only fermented wine, and the alcohol content was very low, so Wu Song and other heroes could still exercise vigorously after drinking dozens of large bowls, while General Yao in the enemy building must have more than dozens of bowls of alcohol. It should be dozens of barrels, which made the Jin army below despair. It was night again, and the soldiers looked at Wu Lin, waiting for the midnight drum.After today, the Jin army will withdraw. This is what the general said, will it come true?Wu Lin was silent, he couldn't decide this matter. In fact, the same goes for Sa Liyin and Jin Wushu. Everyone has to look at Wu Jie.At this point in the battle, the initiative is no longer on the attacker's side. When you are exhausted, can you lie down and sleep for a while, drink some water or something, take a rest before continuing?This is not a spoof, if the defender always hides in the bunker and never moves out, it is completely fine.In fact, the vast majority of defenders in history have done this. They stayed until the enemy's enthusiasm for the game faded, and then retreated safely. This is also a qualified and successful defense. "King of the Mountain" and "King of Defense" Wu Jie didn't do this. When he was defending, the enemy's blood would flow into rivers and his body would be covered with cuts and bruises.The reason for this is because of his offense. The attack began at midnight on the 30th. The Jin army took off the double-layer armor that had been worn for two days, and lay on the ground panting like a dead fish.Song Jun habitually touched the camp at midnight, and what he brought was a big ax that was more ruthless than the Mo knife!This thing is very shocking, the Song army just cut it down, only chopping, chopping, chopping the blade, there is absolutely nothing that can't be chopped. That night, Jin Wushu stayed up all night like the first time he camped in Heshangyuan.The next morning, he stared blankly at Immortal Pass not far away, with a heavy expression, whether to attack or retreat... In fact, Wu Jie had already made up his mind for him on the night of the 30th day. The Song army attacked with all their strength, using all kinds of methods.The Jin army was pushed down the mountain and ran around all night. When dawn came again, they found that the terrain in front of them was very familiar. We're at the bottom of Shajinping. After working desperately for six and a half days, I returned to the front of the mountain overnight.按说如此悲摧，加上之前对吴玠的了解，金兀术应该继续下山，带人回家才对。 不，四太子不知是哪根筋搭错了，突然间灵机一动，想到了一个反败为胜的好办法。 仙人关一线是没有希望了，但可以围魏救赵，攻击吴氏兄弟的另一个要害，逼他们分兵。等仙人关的兵力被分散之后，金军仍然有机会。 另一个要害指的是吴璘的驻地七方关。说实话，那边真的被掏空了，吴璘竭尽所能，把什么都带出来了。这时，金兀术分兵过去，从理论上讲绝对是乘虚而入。 问题是操作起来难度太大。首先，他得把偷袭搞得明目张胆、大张旗鼓，好让吴氏兄弟知道。光这一点，他就死定了。 宋朝的西军在陕西大地上经营百年，关系网复杂到让人无法想象的地步。据可靠史料称，吴玠知道撒离喝在凤翔府的私人住宅平面图，连卧室的摆设都非常清楚！ 情报做成这样，基本上可以避免偷袭了。吴玠根本没去理会什么七方关，他加大兵力，在三月初二的夜里发起了总攻。 稍加一句，在杀金坪的下方，金军大营里，金兀术的安排是永恒不变的。他爱连珠寨，在和尚原被砍得七零八落，从头到尾都没有接受教训，这时也一样。 换花样的是吴玠，这一次，他分段包干，把手下派出去拦路打劫。统制官张彦负责横川店一带。统制官王俊，稍提一下，这是吴玠的女婿，负责河池一带，提前出发，选地点埋伏。他自己带着大部分主力从杀金坪出击，迎头击溃金军大队，让他们跳进挖好的坑里。 这天夜里，全体金军上演《午夜狂奔》，简直没有一刻能停下来。他们在杀金坪前被袭击，立刻逃跑。临走时，金兀术不得不下令烧毁物资。 他带来的东西太多了，包括给家属用的大量日用品，都烧了。一来不能留给吴玠，二来可以在夜里照个亮。他们往山下跑，跑到横川店时，被截住了，被抓了一百二十个，死了五百多人；跑到河池时，快累死了，被王俊活捉了一百五十个，死得惨了点，有一千两百多人。 好不容易天亮了，金兀术看清了自己所在的位置，一下子泪流满面……居然是和尚原。 金军全看清楚之后，瞬间精力旺盛，像打了鸡血一样，再次暴跳起来，冲向山路，跑得那叫一个欢实！这帮人继两夜一天的连续狂奔之后，再次创造了奇迹，居然一口气跑过和尚原，跑下秦岭，跑回了凤翔城。 没法不玩命，鬼知道吴玠在这个地方又埋伏了什么。实际上他们多虑了，吴玠兵力太少，都押在了仙人关一线上，导致其他地方兵力不足，这时想扩大战果，也鞭长莫及啊。 战争在三月初三结束。总结一下，从近处看，可以从金兀术战后的一个小举动上看出战果。在凤翔，他紧紧握住彀英的手，真挚地说：“既往不咎。” 这四个字里含着歉意，毕竟他用佩刀在彀英的头上、身上招呼了那么多下，很痛很危险的；还有懊悔，事实证明彀英是对的，决定此战胜负的就是开战前的那六天，如果听彀英的话迅速进攻，不给吴氏兄弟会合、准备的时间，那么此战完全会有另一个结果。 更多的是警告。自尊心、好胜心超级强烈的四太子殿下是在暗示，以后别再跟我提仙人关、杀金坪、和尚原，见鬼的西北、西南、四川，这些地方是禁忌，永远不许提起。 之后，完颜宗弼再也没有靠近过那片土地，也没有与吴氏兄弟敌对过。他的本质再一次大暴露，哪有什么女真战神一说，就是个欺软怕硬、打痛了就跑、不敢回头的抢劫犯。 往长远看，仙人关一战是西北方面宋、金势力此消彼涨的转折点。此战过后，吴玠军威大振，不仅令金兀术“终生不敢窥蜀地”，更一鼓作气收复了陕西大部分土地，这一成就是建炎南渡后，中兴诸将中开拓先河的壮举。 而在这之前，也就是在金兀术仙人关大败、陕西失地之间，还发生了另一件事，那件事、那个人给金国造成的恐慌比仙人关、吴玠更严重。
