Yue Fei's left leg was injured and he needed to rest, so he had to give orders while sitting in the carriage.
This time, the main force of the Song army of 300,000 troops arrived and marched to Changchun City and Longzhou, launching the final decisive battle with Wanyan Zonghan.
This battle was unexpectedly easy. The Song Dynasty had the most advanced weapons and equipment to date, including siege chariots, catapults, crossbows, crossbows, thunder cannons, fire caltrops, thunder bombs, and infantry armor.
After Zhao Huan's military reforms, the soldiers' combat effectiveness was greatly improved. More importantly, the main force of Yue's army led by Xia Dechao had already arrived in Longzhou.

The vast forests north of Heilongjiang became the territory of the Mongolian leader Kublai Khan.
The Western Xia army was defeated and Li Ganshun's elite troops were completely devoured by Wanyan Zongjie. As Wanyan Zongjie's army was about to reach Xingqing City, the Western Xia capital, Mongolian reinforcements finally arrived.
