The Song Dynasty is considered weak among the many dynasties in ancient China. Basically, the foreign war is about losing more and losing less, but has fought many beautiful battles, such as monks in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Battle of the original.
After the Northern Song regime was wiped out by the Jin Army in 1127, Zhao Gou became emperor at Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan) in Nanjing, and he was called the Southern Song Dynasty in history. After the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Army did not stop there. Instead, it planned to take advantage of the initial establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty regime and to completely eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty regime.
The Jin Army went all the way south, took advantage of the situation to capture Shaanxi and other places, and occupied a large number of territories on both sides of the Yellow River, but it also encountered strong resistance from the people on both sides. In 1130 AD, the Southern Song Army and the Jin Army fought in Fuping (now the central part of Shaanxi Province). Due to the unfavorable command of the Song Army generals, the Song Army was several times larger than the Jin Army, but it was still defeated across the board.
The remnant Song army retreated to Xingzhou (now Lueyang, Shaanxi), Monk Yuan (now Baoji, Shaanxi), and Dasanguan (now Shaanxi Dasanguan) to establish a defensive line to block the gold army. Among them, the area of Monk Yuan is dangerous, and it is the primary gateway to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and it is also the only way for the Jin Army to enter Sichuan and Shaanxi.
After the defeat of the Song Army in the Battle of Fuping, the monk became the main target of the next attack of the Jin Army. The two brothers Wu Jun and Wu Lin, the former guards of the monk, gathered thousands of stragglers who had been defeated from the Fuping front line, and actively built fortifications to prepare for a decisive battle with the Jin army.
In 1131 AD, the Jin Army soldiers attacked Monk Shangyuan in two directions, and Wu Jie commanded the soldiers to defend against danger. This monk is surrounded by valleys, the terrain is steep, and there are many strange rocks. The golden cavalry cannot move at all in this terrain. Soldiers can only abandon their horses to fight, but they are not the opponents of the Song army who occupy favorable terrain. The monk planted a big somersault and had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
The Jin Jun’s unfavorable war at Monk Yuan made the rulers of the Jin Dynasty very angry, and Jin Wushu, the Marshal of the Golden Army, even went out in person and mobilized more than 100,000 troops to approach Monk Yuan. At that time, Monk Yuan’s Song army had only a few thousand people, and the strength of the two sides was too different. Many people persuaded Wu Jie to retreat, but they were rejected.
In October 1131, a battle broke out between the Song Army and the Jin Army in Monk Yuan. Wu Jie commanded the Song Army to use the favorable terrain to continuously shoot at the Jin Army with bows and arrows. Although the Jin Army is large in number, the terrain around the Naihe Monk is not suitable for large-scale operations at all. The number of the Jin Army and the advantages of the cavalry simply cannot be used.
But the Song Army has already occupied favorable terrain, and the attacking Jin Army has become a living target. In addition, Wu Jie also sent someone to cut off the golden army’s grain and grass. Under the condition that he could not attack for a long time and there was no grain and grass, Jin Wushu could only choose to withdraw his army. Wu Jie took advantage of the victory and pursued and killed several golden army in the dark. Wu Shu was wounded with an arrow during the retreat, the Golden Army retreated in embarrassment, and the Song Army achieved the monk original victory.
The battle of the monk Yuan Song army defeated more than one hundred thousand golden army with thousands of troops, captured more than 300 leaders of the golden army, more than 800 soldiers, and seized tens of thousands of armored weapons, which severely damaged the main force of the golden army and broke the golden The army's attempt to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty was also the first fiasco that the Jin army encountered after the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed.
The Battle of Monk Yuan is a rare example of the Song Dynasty fighting the Jin Army with less victory. After the war, the Jin Army had to stop going south, and the Southern Song regime gradually gained a firm foothold. Therefore, it is said that this battle is the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty. The war is not exaggerated.
