Summary

In the final moments before dawn, flames swirled above the earth as hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in the northwest of Fan Cheng for a major battle between the Jurchen Western Army, led by Wan Yan Zong Han, and the Western Coalition Army, led by Bei Wei troops. The conflict had persisted for over three months, with the Jurchen commanding 260,000 troops and allied Han forces totaling around 700,000, against 140,000 Bei Wei troops supported by over 800,000 others. Despite inflated numbers, nearly a million troops were engaged in battle. Yue Fei, commanding the Bei Wei troops, enforced strict military discipline, executing those who retreated or disobeyed orders. Significant victories were achieved by the Bei Wei troops, but casualties exceeded 100,000 on both sides. The Jurchen army, adopting an aggressive strategy, pressured the Wu Dynasty troops, who had fortified defenses along the Han River. The battlefield dynamics shifted with new weaponry, and the morale and training of troops played a crucial role in the conflict's outcome. By November, many fortresses had been abandoned or breached, leading to a gathering of nearly 400,000 troops near Funiu City for further confrontations.
