The Jin generals gathered not far from the west gate of Chang'an, consisting of five Jurchens and one Han family. Six thousand households, carrying more than 40,000 troops, were all composed of cavalry. After quietly crossing the surging Yellow River with sheepskin rafts, they quickly took down Longkou. Within three days, they swept across the entire Hezhong Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, four counties and one prefecture, and fell into their pockets. None of the five or six thousand defenders could escape and were all killed.

All the officials who came to the scene were captured.

Because of the fear of leaking the news, Chang'an was wary and was even more worried that the Song Dynasty emperor would escape early, and the Jin soldiers who fought continuously did not rest. After capturing Hezhong Prefecture, just a few hours later, the entire army began to speed along the official road, and all the Song people they met along the way were shot and killed.

Four days after advancing from the river, the Jin soldiers vanguard encountered a small group of cavalry who came to Chang'an City to provoke. Although the Jin soldiers were desperately chasing, the two generals and cavalry under the city were all elite imperial guards in Chang'an City. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, they immediately fought and fled. After more than a hundred casualties, they quickly got rid of the pursuers behind them.

In this way, the news will definitely leak and the previous efforts will be wasted. The most important thing is to do it. If the enemy uses the elite cavalry to protect the emperor from escaping and cannot catch up with it at that time, even if Chang'an is taken down and the 200,000 elite Western Army is wiped out, it will not be considered a successful completion of this battle plan.

In the Jiangnan region, Sichuan Guanzhong, Jinghu routes, and so many steep mountains or dense water networks, the upper class of the Jin Kingdom really did not have the confidence to conquer them with complete force.

As long as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is captured again and Zhao Gou is dead, there will be no near royal family in the Song Dynasty to support him, and the morale of the army and the people will be in chaos. At that time, the Jin Dynasty will use the destiny to lure people and slowly annex the above-mentioned strategic areas by swallowing whale and eroding them. Then no one can stop the process of unification of the world.

Such a conspiracy was still in early spring. In the Bojilie meeting convened by Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongbi denied the proposal of Wanyan Zongjun and others to discuss peace with Song, and insisted on fighting, and proposed to conquer Guanzhong and eliminate the armed forces of the Song Dynasty in Guanshan and Shaanxi. Then the Song people could only compete with the Jin Kingdom in Jiangzhun and Jinghu, and the room for strategic maneuvering was further reduced. A large number of elite imperial guards were destroyed. If Zhao Huan was captured again in the rapid raid, the Song Dynasty's dynasty was at your fingertips.

The entire strategy is carried out with perfect layout and exquisite calculations.

It was still early in the spring of March, and the entire land of Liaodong, which was in the white mountains and black waters, became boiling. From sixteen to sixty, countless Jurchen archers who were confused and never knew what the battle was, were summoned from the tribe and changed into battle robes. They picked up their bows and arrows and swords and guns issued by the government. They rode their war horses and gathered to Shangjing first, and then to Youyan. On the land of thousands of miles, countless fishing and hunting lands transformed into elite warriors.

In the face of the plundering achievements of the predecessors and the sight of the Jurchens of Wanyan tribe today, these originally simple and kind tribal hunters, who were originally simple and kind, or closed and backward, immediately ready to fight and fantasize about reaching the wealthy land of the Central Plains, robbing gold, silver, silk, porcelain, iron tools, and women. In their eyes, the Central Plains world of flowers and flowers, Jiangnan is like a paradise. As long as everyone rushes for a while, they can grab a lot of special robberies. At that time, they will be full of harvest and return home with great pleasure, like hunting in the forest and hunting a tiger. When they go home, the more glorious you will have, the more glorious you will have.

Such mobilization efforts did not even reach such intensity when the Jurchens attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time.

In midsummer, the mobilization and deployment of pure Jurchen warriors in Yanyun, Hedong and Hebei have exceeded 100,000. This scale has not been achieved in the battle between the life and death of the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

In addition to the Jurchen warriors, there were more than a dozen Khitans, Bohai, and tens of thousands of Han households, with a total of 200,000 troops. From Hedong and Hebei to form a huge encirclement. Among them, almost all Khitans and Bohai, Han army, plus most of the Jurchen warriors, formed a powerful main force outside Tongguan, which put great pressure on the Song army in Guanshan and forced the other side to gather the main force to Tongguan.

At the same time, the Hedong side, composed of elite cavalry of various races, used a large number of leather rafts that had been prepared long ago to cross the Yellow River and raid Chang'an.

This strategy, after careful consideration, is free of flaws or omissions.

The huge pressure on the front has forced the Song army to deal with it with the main force, and even the main force gathered together, and could not ensure completeness in front of the Jin soldiers who were prepared.

If the main forces gather in Tongguan, Guanzhong will definitely be empty.

There is only one disadvantage to this approach, that is, Zhao Huan may escape early.

This is also the biggest worry of the upper class of the Jin Dynasty. I had long experienced the escape skills of the Song Dynasty emperor when Wanyan Zonghan chased Zhao Gou last year.

Zhao Gou fled from Yangzhou, to Jiankang, to Lin'an, and then fled to the sea. The Jin soldiers searched for mountains and seas, but they didn't even catch a single piece of Zhao Gou's land. The Jin soldiers were not resistant to the climate and soil in the south. As soon as they retreated, Zhao Gou made a comeback as an emperor, and he lost all the land and restored to the confrontation between the Jin soldiers.

Because of this, when arranging the troops to advance to Hedong, he gave up all the siege equipment and other auxiliary facilities, and wanted to block Zhao Huan in Chang'an City. If the opponent slipped too fast, the pure cavalry would chase him, which would be very likely that Zhao Huan could not stand up and would even be chased on the way.

Whether Zhao Huan would be as brave as Fuping's battle was not included in the Jin people's consideration.

During the Battle of Fuping, the main force of the Song army arrived at Qi and Zhao Huan had just fled back from the northern country, so he had to personally enter the army. Many Jurchen nobles even believed that with Zhao Huan's past performance, it was hard to say that he was willing to do it during the Battle of Fuping. However, it was very likely that the war was about to begin. When the war was in danger, he was welcomed into the army by the ministers and generals in front of him. Due to the embarrassing situation at that time, Zhao Huan had to agree to such a solution.

Now that Zhao Gou is dead and Zhao Huan is the only one, he will definitely cherish his life and take his own safety as the top priority. How can he fight against the enemy to the end?

It was with such thought that the Jurchen general who had just arrived at Chang'an City, saw that the defense at the top of the city was not strict, so after discussion, he decided to start an attack.

The emperor most likely escaped, so he attacked first. If he attacked, it would not take time.

At the same time, he arranged troops to search the places outside Chang'an City, and asked about the news to see what happened in the city in the past two days.

At this moment, the sound of long live the city was louder, and everyone looked up and saw yellow umbrellas and yellow tents on the city, and the figures were crowded with people. As these emperors moved the ceremonial guards, the sound of the city became louder and louder. Everyone approached a little to see that there were some people in the Song army formation in the red uniforms at the city, and there was also a yellow robe, the most conspicuous.

The Jurchen households in front of him, the most experienced and the highest official position, were naturally Wanyan Salibu, who had been guarding Taiyuan, Hedong. However, when he first invaded the Song Dynasty, he followed Wanyan Loushi to attack Taiyuan, and then advanced westward, without going to the city of Tokyo, and when he captured Zhao Huan, he did not see him.

After watching for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask someone else: "Is it the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

Around him were Wanyan’s living woman, Wanyan Yinshuke, Saba, Dragon and Tiger King, and Han Chang, the ten thousand Han family of Han. He could not see clearly, and the rest were not sure.

Han Chang lost one eye in Fuping and looked at it with one eye for a long time. Although he felt that his body size was similar to Zhao Huan, he was not sure.

He was anxious, shouted angrily, and shouted, "Damn it, let me see it closer."

After saying that, without waiting for others to answer, he squeezed his horse's belly hard and ran towards the city gate.

Seeing that he was like this, Wanyan Huo waited forward, but was pulled by Wanyan Sali and shouted to him: "Are you looking for death? There are so many archers on the city wall!"

Wanyan Huo's girl was very dissatisfied and replied: "A Han man is so brave. Can we let him compete with him?"

In fact, because Wanyan Salibu was scared to cry that day, he refused to let the Han generals take over the power in front of the formation.

After saying a word, Wanyan Salibu's face turned pale and stunned for a moment, then let go of his hand and smiled and said, "Is your father like this when he marched and fought? Think about it yourself, he has a great hero all his life, is he such a brave man, or is he based on his unparalleled wisdom?"

After saying that, he ignored him and looked at Han Chang who was running all the way to the city.

Wanyan Huo's girl was confused and looked at Saba and the Dragon and Tiger King, but saw these two people winking at her, obviously having something else to do.

He rode his horse a little closer, but heard Sama whisper to him: "These days, Han Chang has been arrogant and domineering. He often doesn't take us seriously because he saved Marshal Du's life during the Fuping War. Even Lord Salibu and Yinshu Ke, even Marshal Du has to look down on him, but he doesn't take it seriously. This person is so reckless and comes back without any trouble, we still blame him for being frivolous. If there is any accident, he found it himself. No wonder we."

After Saba said that, he smiled, and the stunned Wanyan Huo girl also followed everyone's eyes and looked at Han Chang who ignored the arrows shot from the city and ran forward.

When he first attacked, the city was not yet aware of it. When the Song army saw it, they were stunned for a moment and no one responded.

Just when Han Chang ran less than two hundred steps away, he drove his horse and tried to peek at the city wall, everyone was shocked to realize that the madman had actually rushed to the city wall in front of countless soldiers and dense crossbow arrows.

The commander at the city gate gave the order, and first hundreds of people, then thousands of people shot arrows together, and shot towards Han Chang who was wandering on horseback.

According to the theoretical distance between the Song army's god-arm bow and the standard bow and arrow, the former is more than 300 steps, while the latter is also 170 steps. No matter what, Han Chang was within the shooting range of the archers on the city.

It’s just that theory is theory. After more than a hundred steps, shooting individual units that keep wandering around. Although arrows are like flying locusts, few of them actually shoot within Han Chang’s physical distance.

While observing, Han Chang used the iron spear in his hand to dial the rain of arrows close to him, and did not take these arrows to heart.

When he saw clearly that the head of the city was Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty, he felt very proud. After a moment, he saw that several Jurchens did not follow him, and he was even more arrogant.
