Of course, the infantry could not be compared with the cavalry's high speed. Half a day later, when Yue Fei led his army back to Tokyo Bianliang, he learned that Du Chong had given up Bianliang and fled south, and Bianliang had been occupied by Jin soldiers.

This news made Yue Fei look like five thunderstorm. He could not believe that there were still five thousand troops in the city, and mobilizing the people would quickly get help from tens of thousands of people. He could persevere until he came back. Unexpectedly, Du Chong was scared by thousands of cavalrymen. Yue Fei felt extremely uncomfortable.

He stared at the Bianliang City several miles away and said nothing for a long time.

"General, what should we do?" Deputy General Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

"We can't just give Bianliang to the Jin soldiers like this. We must take it back!"

"But the main force of the Jin soldiers is not far from us, so I'm afraid that it will take too long to go."

Yue Fei bit his lip tightly and said, "We must give it a try anyway!"

"Since the general has decided, then do it!"

Yue Fei turned and walked to the high place. He raised his hand. All the soldiers calmed down. He stared at Yue Fei. Yue Fei, who looked extremely determined, whispered to everyone: "Brothers, Du Liujun escaped at the battle and surrendered Bianliang to the Jin soldiers, but we must not accept this result. We must take Bianliang back from it, and we will never retreat even if we give our lives!"

The soldiers were infected by the determination of the chief general. They were excited and raised their arms and shouted, "Don't retreat!"

After reaching a consensus, the soldiers began to act, and first they took wood to build ladders. This was difficult. The Song army was surrounded by the strong walls and cleared the fields. There was no big tree within 30 miles. However, there was also a way to demolish the abandoned houses in the outer city, and take out the beams of houses and other wood to make simple siege ladders. Two hours later, the 20,000 Song army created nearly 100 simple siege ladders, which could barely be used to attack the city.

Yue Fei looked at the Jin flag rising above the city, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood. He pulled out his battle knife and roared, "Brothers, take back the city of Bianliang!"

The 20,000 soldiers shouted, and they divided into two groups, carrying simple siege ladders to rush towards the North City and the East City like a tide. But what greeted them was hundreds of thunders thrown out of the top of the city. Du Chong was very guilty. When he fled south by the city, he did not order the fuse of the thunderstorm, leaving nearly a thousand thunderstorm for the Jin soldiers, and became a powerful weapon for the Jin soldiers to defend the city.

Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 toward Bianjing City. The leader was 30,000 Jurchen cavalry. The fierce horses were rushing like the tide of the sea, galloping on the vast Central Plains. The 30,000 cavalry destroyed everything, trampled on everything, and invincible everything. The snow and dust mixed together to cover the sky and the sun.

The 100,000 army had already killed Fengqiu County, but the 30,000 cavalry was faster, less than fifty miles away from Tokyo Bianliang City, and was continuing to rush south. This kind of destructive aura composed of 30,000 cavalry would probably even Bianliang City be crushed.

Yue Fei left a team of scouts to monitor the main force of the northern Jin soldiers in Chenqiao Town. The team of scouts consisted of twenty cavalry, and several cavalry were gathering together to talk about the battle situation. At this time, they suddenly felt the earth begin to tremble, and everyone's faces changed and they stood up one after another. This was their very familiar feeling, but a large number of cavalry rushed towards him and there was such a vibration.

"Come on, come and see! What is that?"

A soldier shouted on the distant hillside, and everyone quickly turned over and ran towards the distant hillside. When they rushed up the hillside, everyone's faces suddenly changed. A black line in the distance appeared more than ten miles away, running towards this side. The black line was at least ten miles wide, and the number of cavalrymen was tens of thousands.

"Let's go!"

The leader of the scout shouted, and the twenty cavalry immediately turned their heads and ran towards Bianliang City.

There were constant explosions outside the city of Bianliang, and 20,000 Song troops fought desperately to attack the city. Although there were only more than 4,000 Jin soldiers in the city, due to the serious lack of Song army's siege ladders, it was impossible to form a multi-point attack. In addition, the Jin soldiers used a large number of thunders, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and nearly half of the siege ladders were blown up.

Yue Fei kept commanding the soldiers to attack the city, and at this time he was anxious. Judging from the time, the main force of the Jin soldiers was about to arrive, but Bianliang City could not be attacked. What made Yue Fei most anxious was that most of the simplified siege ladders they made had been damaged, with less than thirty left, and the hope of siege was passing by little by little.

"Report to General, the sneak attack in Nancheng failed, and General Liu was unfortunately killed!" A soldier came and reported to Yue Fei in pain.

Yue Fei's heart seemed to fall into the cold cave. His last glimmer of hope was that his commander Liu Xi could lead 300 people to attack Nancheng, but he failed.

"Why?" Yue Fei asked with heartache.

The soldier sighed and said, "We wanted to climb the rope to the city, but the other party was prepared for it. When we were about to go to the city, they suddenly cut the rope. More than a dozen ropes broke at the same time. All the brothers fell to the city, and Commander Liu unfortunately fell to the city and died."

"Then are the other brothers back?"

The soldier nodded silently, "Everyone is back."

At this moment, a series of explosions came from the edge of the north city, and the sound of explosions was deafening. More than a dozen siege siege ladders were blown to pieces. The Song soldiers on the siege ladders screamed and fell from the city.

"General, there is emergency information!"

A soldier behind him shouted. When Yue Fei turned around, he saw a team of scouts he sent were running quickly here, waving his hand and shouting: "The main force of the enemy is here!"

They rushed to their eyes for a moment, and Yue Fei stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Report to General, 30,000 Jin soldiers have arrived, and it is only twenty miles away from here at most. Please decide quickly!"

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Bianliang City, with a look of great pain in his eyes, and his teeth bit his lips and bleeding. He was helpless, so he had to order in pain: "Tell me my order, everyone will evacuate east immediately!"

Yue Fei's army had more than 4,000 casualties, and the remaining more than 15,000 were ultimately unable to recapture the city of Bianliang. He was forced to quickly evacuate eastward and withdraw from the battlefield.

Half an hour later, Wanyan Zongbi led 30,000 cavalry to Bianliang. Wanyan Zongbi did not chase Yue Fei's army, but held a massive city entry ceremony, which meant that the city of Bianliang, which the Song army had been defending for nearly two years, was finally captured by the Jin soldiers.

The loss of Bianliang City became a turning point in the Battle of the Central Plains. Wanyan Zonghan led 80,000 Jin soldiers to attack from the north and south, and Wanyan Zongbi led 100,000 troops to advance from the west and east. Combined with the positional warfare of the main army and the mobile warfare of the cavalry running at high speed, he advanced step by step towards the Zongze army stationed in Xuzhou.

At this time, Zongze's attack on Shanzhou was not good. The 10,000 troops led by Chen Sui were ambushed by Wanyan Zonghan's 20,000 cavalry leaders led by Wanyan Zonghan himself. The Song army was defeated by Jin cavalry and almost all of them were destroyed. The chief general Chen Sui fled back to Xuzhou with less than a thousand people.

The disastrous defeat of Shanzhou and the loss of Bianliang made Zong Ze realize that the war situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Song army. In order to preserve its troops and not be completely wiped out by the Jin soldiers, Zong Ze had to make a painful decision to give up the Jingdong two routes, retreat to Chuzhou in the south, and fight against the Jin soldiers on the front line of Chuzhou.

Zongze's army retreated south, causing the Jin soldiers to no longer have any obstacles. In just ten days, more than 100,000 Jin soldiers swept across the Central Plains and Shandong, including Xuzhou, Haizhou, Shanzhou, Yingtian Prefecture, Guide Prefecture on the east and west routes of Jingxi Road, and dozens of prefectures, including Caizhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Yingchang Prefecture, Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and dozens of prefectures on the northwest route of Jingxi Road, all fell into the hands of the Jin soldiers.

For a moment, the Lin'an court was shocked, and the call for the prosecution of the defeat resounded throughout the court and the country.

That night, Huang Qianshan, the assistant minister of the school, was reading a book in the study. At this time, a housekeeper outside the school reported, "Master, there is someone outside the house. It seems to be Du Chong's son, and he said he had something to ask for a visit to the master!"

Huang Qianshan put down the book and thought about it, then smiled and said, "Take him to the study room outside for a while, I'll change my clothes and come!"

Needless to say, Huang Qianshan could also guess why Du Chong came. Du Chong threw away Bianliang City, which made the court and the public angry. It must be Du Chong who asked his son to come to his back door and plead for him. It is not impossible to plead for Du Chong, but it depends on what sincerity Du Chong can show.
