The Battle of Daming Mansion is over. Yue Fei once again showed his strength, and also told everyone that he will never disappoint people.
The battle report had been circulated by Zhao Kai, and finally fell into the hands of Guo Yaoshi, the general who stayed behind in Luoyang.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, he knew better than anyone else the meaning contained in it and the dangers contained therein.
"Tell me the detailed battle report. How did General Yue Fei win?"
"Go back to the general..." As the spy spoke, he told everything that happened to Yue Fei in Daming Mansion during this period.
Half a year ago, just as the battle report from Jiangnan reached Luoyang, Yue Fei's battle at Damingfu also officially started. Du Chong's earth-building hills were destroyed again and again by Yue Fei's throwing carts.
But Yue Fei's trebuchets were not many in number after all. Under the command of Brother Wanyan Yinshu, the soldiers kept charging at the Nanle city wall, which made them unable to look at each other.
The most terrible thing is that their equipment and baggage are consumed very quickly.
Attacking a city requires equipment, and defense also requires equipment, and even more. There are no iron mines in this city, so Yue Fei asked Zhang Yong to persuade the people in the city to take out all the iron products and make arrows day and night. , and not much was gained in the end.
While the soldiers were dying in battle, the number of arrows was also decreasing, the huge stones needed to throw the cart, the rolling stones and wood needed to defend the city wall, and the kerosene needed to light the well gate to rush the cart.
Everything is decreasing rapidly. Both Yue Fei and Brother Wanyan Yinshu know that this is a war of attrition.
Yue Fei has flying fire in his hand, but he can use it sparingly. Brother Wanyan Yinshu is not afraid of losses. He has enough soldiers and horses under his command. At worst, he can exchange his life for Yue Fei.
The two sides fought for more than ten days around Nanle County. Brother Wanyan Yinshu felt that Yue Fei would definitely intercept and kill their camp, but in the end he was disappointed every time he was ambushed.
Brother Wanyan Yinshu guessed correctly that Yue Fei must break the game, but he guessed wrong where Yue Fei wanted to break the game!
Yue Fei's eyes were on the entire battlefield, and the place where he could break the situation lay with Zongze and Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan took Guan Sheng as the vanguard to attack Jinan with great momentum. Guan Sheng was a well-known general on Shandong Road. He was stationed in Jinan Mansion and led his soldiers to block countless enemy attacks.
When Guan Sheng appeared on Shandong Road again, there was chaos behind Liu Yu.
The Jin people allowed him to be the king of Qi and gave him the right to establish hundreds of officials. Two of his confidants, Li Xiaoyang, were appointed as Zuocheng, and Zhang Jian was appointed as Youcheng. They were both left in Jinan to handle "state affairs".
Now that Guan Sheng was attacking, they immediately understood what this group of people was thinking. The two of them first set up a defense line, and then sent a message to Liu Yu of Daming Mansion and Nian Han of Yanshan Mansion.
I hope Liu Yu can return to help, and I even hope that the Jin people can send troops and horses to support.
General Wang Qiong, who stayed behind in Jinan, personally led his troops to build a defense line to prepare for Guan Sheng's attack. When the news of Jinan reached Liu Yu, he did not panic.
Liu Yu knew that although Wang Yuan was brave, he did not have many troops and horses, and even the food and baggage were not enough.
Therefore, even if he assists to defeat Jinan, he will not break Jinan too quickly.
The most important thing is that he doesn't really care about the situation in Jinan. He cares about another thing.
"Liu Yu pays homage to the commander-in-chief!" He came straight to Brother Wanyan Yinshu with the battle report and bowed down, "The Song people are cunning and unable to compete with our army here, so they actually led their troops to sneak attack Jinan.
The general knows that Daming Mansion is the top priority, but if Jinan is lost, Shandong Road will no longer exist!
I also hope that the commander-in-chief can allow me to return to Shandong, kill Guan Sheng to put an end to the chaos in Shandong, and expand the territory for my great gold! "
Brother Wanyan Yinshu looked at Liu Yu in front of him and knew that this guy's idea might not be that simple.
"I heard that Guan Sheng is your general in Jinan, and his prestige in Shandong is higher than that of Liu Yu. Now that you are going back to the army, is there any way to kill Guan Sheng in the battle formation?"
"The handsome man is wise, but the villain really doesn't have this ability." I never thought that Liu Yu was really embarrassed and said that he was helpless, but he didn't stop there.
"But the villain has never thought that he returned to Shandong because he wanted to fight Guan Sheng to the death!"
"What do you want?"
"Using Jinan as bait, we entered Donglai, where there is an abandoned dock and ferry where boats can still be sailed. From here, we entered the sea and rushed directly behind Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan did not have many soldiers and horses. Now that he is sending troops to Jinan, he must not have many soldiers and horses around him.
As long as we bypass the front line of defense, pass through Zhoushan and enter the East China Sea, and then go around behind Wang Yuan, the villain is sure to kill him completely in one battle! "
"Okay!" Brother Wanyan Yinshu also yelled, and then immediately agreed with his suggestion.
At this time, Brother Wanyan Yinshu was more like a golden general without any opinion. He was so confused by Liu Yu and Du Chong that he didn't know anything.
He even took the initiative to allocate a lot of supplies and supplies to Liu Yu, gave him an elite cavalry force of thousands, and then asked him to go back with his confidant general Li Cheng.
He will take good care of the soldiers and horses here for Liu Yu.
This made Liu Yu feel a little grateful, and then he kept saying thanks and left with his troops.
After seeing this, Du Chong immediately stepped up his attack on Nanle County. However, when Zongze's reinforcements were about to confront Jin Wushu, news of a rebellion in the rear suddenly broke out.
Zhang Yiqian, the commander in charge of the waterway, surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield, directly cutting off Zongze's return route. He also joined forces with Zongze's rear army general Pei Yi and the commander of Kaifeng Prefecture Fan Qiong and others to rebel.
For a time, the entire Central Plains seemed to have fallen.
When the news reached Daming Mansion, everyone's mood fluctuated, some were excited, some were mourning, and Yue Fei from Nanle County knew that his chance had finally come.
This was all his plan, and now is the final part of his plan!
Counterattack!
Zhang Yiqian's rebellion was not beyond Yue Fei's expectations, let alone Zongze's expectations. He was a real veteran. When Du Chong and Zhang Yiqian caused his first attack failure, he already knew the unreliability of these people. .
At the same time, he also knew the purpose of putting these people here.
The official wanted to lend his hand to solve this trouble, or to solve these people.
Although he didn't know who was paying attention to "inducing rebellion" this time, he knew that the mobilization of troops and horses this time was definitely not to attack Jin Wushu.
But for these rebellious people!
In Shunchang City, the rebellious general Fan Qiong led Jin Wushu's general Wanyanba Lisu's army to come here, hoping to break through Shunchang and enter the southern part of the Song Dynasty.
This completely destroyed the last traces of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, the person stationed in Shunchang was not the Shunchang magistrate but a blacksmith!
The prefect of Shunchang was already ready to surrender when the army attacked, but he was killed before he could succeed.
He was killed by Cao Cheng, the blacksmith of Shunchang Mansion and one of Zhang Yong's sworn brothers.
Cao Cheng is a good son. He has always cared about his family and country since he was a child. His mantra is, if the world is his own, who should I do?
But his family was really too poor. In order to survive, his family had no choice but to send him to a blacksmith shop to make a living by forging iron. Over the years, he had quite a reputation for making friends with heroes.
In addition, he is somewhat brave and upright. He has a good reputation in Shunchang, and many young people are willing to make friends with him.
While several of his other brothers, Li Hong, Ma Youshao and others, had fallen into the trap of bandits, he and Zhang Yong were the only ones who had not fallen into the trap. It was just that Zhang Yong was afraid of death, while he simply felt that this was not good.
"A good man should go into battle to kill the enemy and serve his country to the death. How can he fall into a trap and become a bandit?
Now this golden man is coming, and thieves are about to attack. It is time for us men to bravely kill the enemy and serve our family and country.
I, Cao Cheng, must live and die with Shunchang! "
Cao Cheng killed the prefect and took over the military power of Shunchang with the appointment of the Hebei Road Marshal's Mansion. At the same time, he summoned his sworn brothers Li Hong and Ma Youshao.
Let's protect Shunchang Mansion together and resist the Jin people's advance!
Yes, Zhang Yong's brothers and their soldiers Yue Fei had already taken a fancy to it, but what he was interested in was not having them come to Daming Mansion to help in the battle.
Instead, let them look for Cao Cheng directly on the spot and let him hold the Jinren in Shunchang!
In this way, if Shunchang is blocked, the Jin people and the rebels will really be blocked in the Central Plains.
But what happened after that was not over yet. After Cao Commander Zhang Yiqian rebelled, he immediately wrote to Jin Wushu and joined him in attacking Zongze's army. But when they came to the city, they suddenly discovered that the so-called army was just a troop of ten thousand people.
On the city wall, where the Hebei West Road should have entered Hebei, the ambassador Zhang Suo and his general Wang Yan were tattooed on the faces of the 10,000-strong army.
Serve the country with all your heart and swear to kill the gold thief!
This was the Eight-Character Army that would later become famous and dominate the world.
"Today the Jin people are attacking and the thieves are rebelling. It is the time for us to serve our country with all our loyalty. The officials are brave enough to fight on the front line personally. We must not let this land of the Song Dynasty fall into the hands of the Jin people.
Let’s not let this world lose hope and vitality!
All officers and men, follow me to kill the enemy, follow me to fight to the death! "
Zhang Suo was not a brave person, and he didn't even know how to fight. What he had was passion and he was willing to die before the Song Dynasty.
That's what he said, and he did what he did. He was the bait appointed by Zongze himself, tempting everyone to be the target of siege!
When Zhang Yiqian, Pei Yi and others gathered with Jin Wushu to encircle and suppress them, the veteran Zongze, as the marshal of Hebei Road, once again led the elite soldiers to the outside of Zhang Yiqian's water village with a sword in hand.
"This battle must be won!"
"kill!"
With two consecutive shouts, Zongze personally led the army towards the water stronghold, and the sound of fighting suddenly resounded throughout the world.
Yue Fei's counterattack officially began at this moment.
