The Ming army really didn't dare to rush in.
This battle started strong but ended weakly.
They annihilated more than two thousand Jin soldiers.
Yao Pingzhong felt unsatisfied and rather annoyed, saying:
"The main force of the Jin army is here,"
"Our numbers are so small,"
"It will probably not be easy to capture Pingxingguan and Sanzhai."
"Should we withdraw our troops now?"
This is much more difficult than attacking Chitang Pass.
We must divide our forces and attack the three strongholds simultaneously.
Attacking only one stronghold would cut off their supply lines.
"It's not like we've come back empty-handed, let's retreat," Chen Ziyi said.
Yao Pingzhong sighed, "Withdraw the troops!"
Yue Fei, however, was reminiscing about the previous battle.
He felt that with firearms...
In future field operations,
Individual martial arts skills are also important.
But it's nowhere near as good as it used to be.
That evening, Yue Fei visited the brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin again.
He knew that the two brothers were extremely knowledgeable about formations.
They retreated all the way back.
Liu Qi also joined the military discussion group.
The four of them learned through this real-world experience.
Identify and address any gaps in the existing vehicle formation.
And explore different terrains,
Usage in different situations.
Based on everyone's conversation, Wu Lin
I wrote a summary of several thousand words.
Let Yue Fei and others sign their names together.
It was sent to Zhang Guangdao and then forwarded to the Privy Council.
Compared to the battle on Zhang Guangdao's side,
Han Shizhong's actions were merely minor skirmishes.
The Zhe family army has been decimated by Yin Shuke.
Liu's army also suffered a large number of desertions due to lack of supplies.
Han Shizhong was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief.
They took over the remnants of the Zhe family army and the Liu family army.
He only took three thousand Shaanxi soldiers with him.
They also gathered and reorganized the local remnants of the army.
Eliminate the old and weak, leaving only the young and strong.
They only had a total of eight thousand troops at their disposal.
And most of the soldiers
They had been defeated to the point that they dared not fight against the Jin soldiers.
Han Shizhong could only order the local soldiers to defend the city.
He always took three thousand elite troops with him when he went out.
Send another thousand weak soldiers to follow.
Seeking out puppet troops or small groups of Jin soldiers to fight.
Not for the purpose of achieving great victories,
Just to restore morale
Let the original soldiers of the newly reorganized Zhe family army and Liu family army...
They dared to face the Jin army in the open field without fleeing.
Silver magic works very well.
They often come to harass us with thirty to fifty riders.
One or two hundred cavalrymen is already considered a large force.
This is because of Wanyan Zonghan.
Too many troops were transferred there.
And Silver Arts, having conquered several state armies last year, is bound to...
Troops must be stationed separately to guard the area.
He has too few mobile forces to mobilize.
Han Shizhong led three thousand elite troops and one thousand weak soldiers.
They won seven or eight games in a row.
Each time, they only killed or captured a few dozen enemy soldiers.
Those thousand weak soldiers
They all take turns playing.
Accumulating small victories over two months,
The few thousand weak soldiers finally regained some confidence.
Even with the cooperation of an inside agent,
They followed Han Shizhong on his raid.
They successfully recaptured Lian Gu County, which was defended by only a few hundred Khitan soldiers and Han troops from the north.
Chapter 3170 The Jin troops have withdrawn.
"General, villagers from the prefecture have come to report..."
"They say the Jin troops there have withdrawn!"
"I haven't gone to call yet,"
Why did they leave?
Han Shizhong had too few usable troops.
He feared he had fallen into a trap set by the Jurchens.
They dared not launch a large-scale military operation to take over Fuzhou City.
They only sent a small group of soldiers to scout out the situation.
After half a month,
Information from various places gradually came in.
The Jin troops not only withdrew from Fuzhou,
The Jin soldiers of Fengzhou and Huoshan Army,
They were all completely removed.
But when the Jin soldiers were leaving...
They set fires and looted everywhere.
They stole the people's grain.
Burning down people's houses,
It left behind homeless people who lacked food and clothing.
They threw it to the Ming Dynasty, spending money and grain on relief efforts.
This slowed down the Ming army's advance northward.
Besides Kelan Military City,
The remaining territory was abandoned by the Jin army.
We have no choice but to give up.
Wanyan Zonghan suffered a series of crushing defeats.
Too many troops were lost to effectively control the newly occupied territories.
The reason why the Jin army still occupied Kelan Military City (later Kelan County) was because
It's because that place is strategically located.
They controlled the three routes for the Ming army to advance north.
In any case,
Anyway, apart from Kelan Military City,
All the former territories of the Northern Song Dynasty were recovered by the Ming Dynasty!
.....
October of the lunar calendar
A Jurchen envoy arrived in Fuzhou.
A letter was sent to Han Shizhong.
Have Han Shizhong hand it over to the Ming Dynasty court.
The letter was very simple.
The Western Xia army marched north.
Demonstrating expansion ambitions
Wanyan Zonghan warned the Ming Dynasty to be on guard.
"This is a scheme to sow discord!"
The letter was sent back to Kaifeng.
Zhai Ruwen said at the imperial conference:
"Now that the two countries are on good terms,"
"Soldiers from Shaanxi can be freely transferred to Hebei and Shanxi,"
"Without worrying about a large-scale invasion by the Western Xia."
"The Jurchens are trying to sow discord between the Ming and Xia dynasties,"
"Let the Western Xia tie down the military strength of our Great Ming,"
"We must not fall for the Jurchens' tricks."
After a discussion among the key ministers of the central government,
