After the arrangements were made, Yue Fei personally led the troops out of the camp. The Song army set up a formation. Yue Fei reined in his horses under the military flag and ordered the formation. The Song army shouted: "General Yue Fei, please answer the battle in front of the horse." As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Fei After urging the horses to go into battle, Li Cheng also came to the front of the battle. In order to avoid being passive, Li Cheng took the lead in speaking: "General Yue, today I
The "Da Qi" army was pressing down on the country. Why didn't the general surrender, but instead led his troops to resist? Yue Fei said: "What you call
"Qi State" is just a puppet in the hands of the golden thief. It is impossible for me to surrender. "After saying this, he urged his horse back to the formation and prepared to order an attack.
Seeing that Li Cheng didn't agree with his words, he also urged his horse back to the battle. Returning to his own position, Yue Fei ordered the attack to begin. The cavalry took action first. On the open ground, the infantry was no match for the cavalry and was quickly defeated. Seeing that their own infantry suffered heavy losses, the cavalry of the Puppet Qi Army wanted to go over for reinforcements, but The spear army of the Song Dynasty was approaching them. In order to gain the initiative, the puppet Qi army took the lead in launching an attack. The Song army did not retreat and continued to advance.
The bright spear points were pointed at the horses of the Puppet Qi Army. The sunlight hit the sharp spear points and then reflected out. The Puppet Qi Army's horses were stung by the reflected sunlight. Their eyes were unbearable, and they began to neigh and run around. The soldiers could not stand it at all. Unable to control themselves, many soldiers fell off their horses and were killed by the Song army.
With both the cavalry and infantry suffering heavy losses, the puppet Qi army was defeated across the board. Yue Fei ordered the pursuit and beat drums to cheer up. Hearing the drums, the Song army's morale was greatly boosted. Li Cheng saw that the Song army started to pursue, and ordered the bows and arrows to stop them.
But this could not stop the brave Song soldiers, and the puppet Qi army had no choice but to withdraw into the camp, close the camp gate tightly, and continue to resist.
Shi Quan suggested: "The enemy has 100,000 troops and we only have 30,000 troops. We cannot fight head-on. It is better to withdraw our troops temporarily and think of other strategies." Yue Fei accepted his suggestion and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The next day, Yue Fei led his troops out of camp to fight, but the puppet Qi army acted like a coward and refused to fight no matter how much the Song army yelled.
