However, at four o'clock in the night, Li Yanxian, who was keeping watch in the provincial government, suddenly received an urgent report from the scouts - the main force of the Jin army, tens of thousands of soldiers, divided into many routes, suddenly launched a massive attack to the south last night.
Among them, not to mention that Wanyan Saba led a 5,000-man army to capture Jijin, an important town on the east side of the Hebei part of Shanzhou, but Wanyan Loushi's own flag suddenly appeared in Tongguan, the westernmost side of the Henan part of Shanzhou.
Wanyan Loushi's capture of Tongguan was not a military miracle. After all, it was not the first time he captured Tongguan. Moreover, Tongguan had been destroyed and damaged several times in several battles between Song and Jin. It was no longer the impeccable pass where one could defeat ten enemies. It was simply a key stronghold with defensive functions.
Even Li Yanxian could imagine Wanyan Loushi's specific route of advance this time, which was nothing more than crossing the river at Puzhou and then rushing south.
Only the real military commander of the Jin Kingdom's Western Army was so deliberate and waited for the New Year to personally lead the cavalry to carry out this surprise attack... He seemed to be well prepared, and it would be difficult to deal with him.
But if it rains, the girl will marry, and the Jin people will come, what can the Song army do without strategic initiative? Besides, Li Yanxian had already guessed that this person would come.
If I have to express my feelings, I can only say that no matter what, the war has started again, and the fact that the Jin people launched such a surprise attack one day before the arrival of the fourth year of Jianyan can be regarded as maintaining their military tradition of invading the south every year.
When the news spread, in the first month of the fourth year of Jianyan, Henan and Guanxi were shaken throughout.
