The Jin Army camp collapsed, and the main force of the Jin Army inside finally collapsed.
A fierce fight ended with one party's fearlessness and one party's complete collapse.
Before the war started, no one would have thought that the Liberation Army cavalry led by Su Yonglin would have such a brilliant record. It was said that the number of soldiers exceeded 80,000 from 10,000, which is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
But it should be said that if such an excellent opportunity had not been chosen, this battle would have been hard fought to the end and it would have been difficult to achieve such great results.
Time? Fate?
Su Yonglin gradually understood Liu Xiu's mood after the battle in Kunyang.
In that battle, although the new army was not more than 400,000 strong, but only more than 100,000, Liu Xiu was able to fight against more than 100,000 new troops with less than 20,000 troops. The situation he faced was actually similar, but the result All the same, win.
After the victory, he became famous, and the increase in prestige that winning a strategic battle-level war brought to the war commander was unpredictable.
It can be said that the first battle established Liu Xiu's imperial hegemony, and the first battle destroyed the foundation of Xin Mang's rule. The power of the first battle was so terrifying.
The current situation is actually similar.
The main force of the Jin Army's strategic level completely collapsed, with countless casualties, countless prisoners, and the overall disintegration. For the Jin Kingdom, a military country that has not successfully completed the transformation of its empire, it is undoubtedly a devastating level of influence.
The Kingdom of Jin is over.
Su Yonglin can pat his chest and say this, even if Wan Yanliang escapes back to Zhongdu, the Kingdom of Jin will be finished.
Without this strategic-level deterrent force, Wan Yanliang's deterrent effect on the Jurchen dignitaries was gone, and the Jurchen dignitaries' deterrent effect on the ruling class was also gone.
The Kingdom of Jin will collapse from top to bottom, and there will be no chance of a comeback.
As for Wanyan Yong who is far away in Liaodong...
The general situation is like this, what can he do if he is a conservative king?
Su Yonglin's ambitions have grown uncontrollably. Even now, his goal is far from being everything will be fine after this battle is over.
He wanted to give chase.
Chase! Chase! Chase!
After Su Yonglin and Xin Qiji finally penetrated the Jin army's camp, they did not choose to stop. Instead, they headed directly towards Yucheng with more than two thousand cavalry who had penetrated the camp.
Su Yonglin and Xin Qiji found many deserters from the Jin army along the way, either in groups or alone. They chased and killed all the deserters they found along the way. They chased and killed all the way until they reached the south of Yucheng County, where they met the soldiers who had just finished fighting. Han Jinggui's troops were cleaning up the battlefield.
Han Jinggui's troops had just completed a fight and defeated hundreds of Jin troops.
After Su Yonglin arrived, he found Han Jinggui whose left arm was injured, and learned that just now, Han Jinggui's troops had encountered the Jin Army's rout group several times in succession, and they had fought fiercely.
After receiving support from Su Yonglin's cavalry, Han Jinggui immediately led his troops out of the city and killed the besieging Jin soldiers. The battle ended in more than half an hour and captured a large number of Jin soldiers.
They had just finished reorganizing and were preparing to move further south to support Su Yonglin. However, before marching very far, they ran into a Jin Army cavalry head-on.
There are many people, one person and two horses, well-equipped, but they look a little panicked.
Han Jinggui had no time to consider the composition and purpose of this golden army, so he immediately ordered the army to form a formation and fired arrows at them.
The Jin Army cavalry obviously had no intention of fighting for a long time, so they separated a group of cavalry to surround Han Jinggui's military formation, and the remaining people hurriedly continued to the northeast.
The cavalry that stayed behind to encircle them lost some strength, and soon left the battlefield and headed northwest. Han Jinggui wanted to pursue him, so he sent out all five hundred cavalry to pursue them. After chasing for a while, they killed some golden soldiers, but none of them were killed. Return with success.
So he could only send people to track this group of golden soldiers, write down their escape route, and continue his main force south to join Su Yonglin.
After walking for a while, Han Jinggui ran into a larger cavalry unit. Han Jinggui once again formed a formation and fired arrows. The golden soldiers were the same as the previous one. Some of them were surrounded and suppressed, and most of them fled directly.
It was still the same as before. If he couldn't catch up, he could only send someone to follow him and prepare to tell Su Yonglin the information.
Then he continued to go south and ran into the third wave. This time, Han Jinggui learned the lesson and let his troops move forward step by step against the military formation. When he ran into this wave of cavalry of about 3,000 people, he directly moved forward to fight against them.
Arrows rained down, spears fell like a forest, and iron shields opened the way, giving the group of cavalry a fierce greeting.
Of course, the result was still the same. Although some cavalry were killed and injured, they could not catch up, so they had to send people to follow them and give directions to the cavalry units coming behind.
The next step was to head south again.
Formed into formation and always prepared for war.
This time, he didn't run into a cavalry regiment of thousands of people. He just ran into a lot of deserters, some hundreds, some dozens, and even a dozen.
Now Han Jinggui was no longer afraid. He still had nearly 500 cavalry on hand. The infantry was suppressing the formation, and the cavalry immediately rushed forward to fight with them.
Han Jinggui killed many waves of deserters and forced many deserters to surrender. The wounds on his arms were also left when he personally led his troops to fight against the Jin army's deserters.
Advancing all the way and fighting all the way, Han Jinggui's troops were fighting bloody battles all the way forward.
Finally, they waited for Su Yonglin, and together with Su Yonglin, they cleared away the deserters along the way, killing and capturing about three to five thousand people.
After Han Jinggui saw Su Yonglin, he immediately told Su Yonglin what he saw.
"The three groups of cavalry before encountering these rebels were obviously organized and purposeful, and they were obviously not at the same level as the ones we encountered later. I suspect that the first three groups were to protect the top brass, and the latter ones were the real ones. son."
"You mean, Wan Yanliang might be among those three groups of cavalry?"
"Yes."
Su Yonglin nodded and asked, "How many people are there?"
"The first two groups have a lot of people, no less than 5,000 people, but the second group has obviously a lot less people, around 2,000 to 3,000 people."
"That means more than 10,000 people ran away, but there were 80,000 Golden Thief Cavalry..."
Su Yonglin suppressed the excitement in his heart: "We will make a lot of money this time."
Han Jinggui was stunned for a while, then excitedly held Su Yonglin's hand.
"Alang, have we destroyed the main force of the Golden Thief Cavalry?"
"no."
"ah?"
"They killed themselves."
What Su Yonglin said was quite true. With hard strength, Su Yonglin felt that he could not defeat the Jin Kingdom's 80,000 cavalry to the current level no matter what.
But unfortunately, this kind of thing just happened to him.
It seems that on the battlefield, the hard power of the army does not determine everything. Whether it has a reliable and solid organization is very important.
Throughout the entire attack battle, Su Yonglin felt that except for the Jin Army cavalry that he and Xin Qiji dealt with, he had never encountered any threatening organized enemy. The huge force of 80,000 people was not at all in front of him. What pressure does it cause?
At this moment, Su Yonglin finally had a deep understanding of how the Jin soldiers had grown from weak to strong, and how they had defeated two major powers in succession with a small number of troops to become the overlord of East Asia.
At that time, the Liao and Song states were corrupt to the core. The Jin army, which had just emerged from the land of white mountains and black waters, faced this kind of enemy with this kind of organizational strength...
No matter how many people there are, no matter how strong the paper strength is, no matter how fierce the individual combat effectiveness is, the true power cannot be exerted.
Now, the Jin Army has also followed the old path of the Liao Army and Song Army.
The direct reason for this victory is probably due to the excellent strategic matching mechanism of the East Asia region in the mid-to-late twelfth century.
The sudden emergence of Su Yonglin robbed Temujin of the dividends generated by this matching mechanism.
So Su Yonglin surrendered his gaze to the north, towards the grassland.
At this time, Temujin was probably not born yet, right?
But it doesn't matter, I'll help you complete your task in advance.
Don't thank me.
With a sneer, Su Yonglin patted Han Jinggui on the shoulder.
"Give me all the cavalry you have, and I will pursue the chase. You go south to help Ke Xian, Guizi and the others sort out the seizures. The seizures this time are probably huge, so be careful and don't miss them. When I come back, let’s have a celebration party!”
"Here!"
Han Jinggui nodded immediately.
So Su Yonglin and Xin Qiji organized 2,500 cavalry together and immediately headed north.
He had to complete the pursuit mission himself.
Wan Yanliang, he wanted to capture it himself.
He wanted to repay the blood debt himself.
He didn't expect that he could achieve such great results by taking the initiative, but at this moment he couldn't stop. He didn't have time to enjoy the results. He had to keep chasing, chasing, chasing!
