Back then, Yue Fei moved to the land of Jianghai and met his old rival Jin Wushu and countless rebel soldiers under his command.
I wanted to completely defeat them, but I never thought that I would lose because of my own baggage and grain. The soldiers had no food in their bellies, no arrows in their bags, and even if their weapons were damaged, they could not quickly replenish them.
Under this situation, Yue Fei could only retreat continuously to cover more and more people from the Jin people's front, and finally pressed all the fronts in the Jiangyin area.
Then they received the support of Guo Yaoshi, and now they have Zhang Jun's general. Yang Yizhong, who was born in the Yang family, is stationed in Jiangyin. In the face of the continuous attacks of the Jin people, he can only defend and persevere.
Now that the chaos in Jiangnan has calmed down, Yang Yao in Dongting Lake has also surrendered. Although the troops, horses, and food are still insufficient, they have a more stable rear.
At this time, Yue Fei had the opportunity and remaining power to fight back, and he chose so.
"Army, march out!"
Under Yue Fei's order, the army once again headed towards the land of Jianghuai and the six counties of Han and Xiang.
At this time, there are many enemies in the six counties of Han and Xiang. There are soldiers and horses of King Du Chong and Li Cheng, Liu Yu's general Li Cheng, and Jin Wushu himself leading the elite Jin people.
The enemy was powerful, but Yue Fei was not afraid at all. At this time, the Yue Family Army had distinctive uniforms and powerful soldiers and horses. Niugao Dong Xian, Li Dao and others were officially assigned to Yue Fei's command and became part of the Yue Family Army.
Of course, this is the popular term for the Yue Family Army at this time, and their real name is the Shenwu Army.
Among them, the four characters "Jing Zhong Yue Fei" were written on the military banner. It was Zhao Huan who personally gave Yue Fei the banner to boost his morale.
Before heading to Jianghuai to fight Jin Wushu to the death, Yue Fei also wiped out the rebellions in Jizhou and Qianzhou. His posture was as simple as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The first battle to enter the Han-Xiang County was to advance from Jiangzhou to Ezhou. There were many key places in the Han-Xiang County, including Xiangyang Prefecture, Ying, Sui, Tang, Deng and other prefectures.
And Wuchang and other places have waterways extending in all directions. If Yang Yao had not been pacified and Yang Qin and other navy generals had not been surrendered, it would have really taken a lot of effort and time for Yue Fei to attack the six counties of Han and Xiang.
Now he took a boat directly from Wuchang to the north, and in half a month he led the army directly to the city of Yingzhou.
And in the early morning of the next day, the Yue Family Army directly launched a general attack on Yingzhou under Yue Fei's order. The sound of fighting announced the return of the king on the battlefield.
Yue Fei sat under the banner and personally commanded this battle. Almost all of his generals, except those who stayed behind, rushed forward.
This all includes his eldest son, Yue Yun, who is only fifteen years old and has just joined the Yue Family Army and is on the battlefield for the first time.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and a huge boulder hit Yue Fei directly in front of him, almost breaking Yue Fei's army banner. All the soldiers around were shocked by this scene, and even started to form formations immediately. To protect Yue Fei.
"Back off!"
With a loud roar, Yue Fei refused the kindness of his personal guards without changing his face. He did not let these people form a formation for protection, and it was even less likely that he would choose to retreat.
"Move the great banner forward. Follow me forward. I will watch the soldiers attack this city with my own eyes and take back this city for me, the Song Dynasty!"
At Yue Fei's order, the banner moved forward again. Even amidst the rain of arrows and boulders, Yue Fei walked resolutely towards the battlefield and danger ahead without fear.
The soldiers of the Yue family who saw this scene knew that they currently lacked siege equipment and were pressed for time, but they were still shocked by Yue Fei's behavior.
"Kill over, kill!" Yue Yun's still somewhat immature voice resounded on the battlefield. He held an iron cone gun and moved forward, killing all those who stood in his way.
On the other side, Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing also roared and climbed up quickly. When they got excited, Yang Zaixing even took off his outer armor to make his speed faster.
Yue Fei was still moving forward, and he blocked several arrows that were shot at him. At the same time, he let his soldiers and horses not only charge, but also continue to charge.
This is his first battle into the six counties of Hanxiang and Xiang. He must show the majesty of the Yue Family Army.
In the midst of this fighting, in just half a day, the Yue family army rushed to the city wall relying on a simple ladder, a siege equipment.
When the soldiers swarmed forward, the thieves stationed in Yingzhou City did not dare to confront them head-on. Under such power, they directly chose to retreat.
But even so, Yue Fei still won a great victory in this battle!
The man stationed in the city was Liu Yu's general, the fierce general Jing Chao, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people. This man guarded the city, and he really stopped many generals under Yue Fei's command by himself.
It wasn't until Zhang Xian appeared in person that he was beaten back, but he still couldn't do anything.
Yue Fei, who was still under the city, when the main force attacked the front city wall, directly asked Xu Qing to abandon the rear camp, and personally led 500 death warriors to rush up from the northeast corner of the city wall on a ladder.
Then Xu Qing and Zhang Xian attacked from behind, and Yue Yun and others personally risked their own arrows, and finally succeeded in breaking through the city. In this battle, more than 7,000 enemies were killed, and the corpses were as high as the Tianwang Tower.
General Jingchao was chased by Zhang Xian and others when he was escaping. He had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. In the end, he had no choice but to jump off a cliff and throw himself to death.
Another official guarding the city, Liu Ji, was captured alive by Yang Zaixing, and then thrown in front of Yue Fei. After pleading hard, he was beheaded with a knife.
After Yingzhou was recovered, Yue Fei did not let the army rest. After appeasing the local people, recalling them and leaving Yu Peng and Wang Gui to guard the rear area, he immediately divided his troops into two groups.
With Zhang Xian as the chief general and Xu Qing as the deputy general, the partial division divided its forces eastward to attack Suizhou. In this battle, their opponents were Du Chong, Wang Xie and other troops who had betrayed the Song Dynasty.
The main force was led by Yue Fei himself, and his goal was to go straight to Xiangyang Mansion, where Liu Yu's main force was located.
It was supposed to be a shocking battle, but at this time it was Liu Yu's general Li Cheng who was stationed in Xiangyang Mansion, while Jin Wushu was plundering people in the Jianghuai area and returning north.
Li Cheng wanted to give Yue Fei a good look in Xiangyang City, but when he heard that Yue Fei had conquered Yingzhou in less than a day, he fell silent.
Especially when he heard that the fierce general Jing Chao, who was an enemy of thousands of people, was forced to jump off a cliff and commit suicide after not even being able to resist for a day, he thought about it carefully.
"Withdraw, withdraw immediately, withdraw immediately!"
Li Cheng ran away!
Yue Fei, who was well aware of the speed of soldiers, looked at the empty walls and open gates of Xiangyang City, as well as the scouts who had returned from inquiring about the news. He was also shocked by Li Cheng's cunning maneuver.
"Li Cheng is gone...then Suizhou will really be tricked by him."
Yue Fei burst out laughing. He was not happy because he captured Xiangyang Mansion without any blood. He was happy that none of Suizhou's enemies could escape this time. This was the direct consequence of Li Cheng's abandonment of Xiangyang.
Suizhou became a lone army, or a lone army directly surrounded by them.
"Niu Gao, Yue Yun, you and others immediately lead the elite cavalry to assist Zhang Xian in attacking Suizhou. We must annihilate all the enemy forces in Suizhou!
Yue Yun was the vanguard, and Niu Gao escorted the grain! "
"General, take your orders!" The two agreed and rushed directly to Suizhou.
On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Jingkang, Yue Fei attacked Yingzhou City. On May 14th, he came to Xiangyang and captured Xiangyang Prefecture without any blood. On May 18th, Niu Gao and Yue Yun had already joined Zhang Xian and Xu Qing to encircle Suizhou.
Suizhou guard Wang Song originally saw Zhang Xian and Xu Qing attacking, and felt that if he kept at it step by step, he might be defeated by Zhang Xian one by one. He directly chose to abandon all defense lines in front and defend Suizhou City.
Waiting for reinforcements from the rear.
But such an order, which was originally without error, became a reminder for Li Cheng after he escaped.
"Li Cheng harmed me, Li Cheng harmed me!"
Wang Song couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh when he looked at the Yue Family Army who had completely surrounded him outside. However, facing the generals around him who persuaded him to surrender, he shook his head firmly.
"At first, a certain family thought that the Song Dynasty was in a stateless state and was hopeless and would be destroyed. In order to protect themselves, they paid money to the King of Qi. Now if they surrender again for their lives, the Song Dynasty will abandon the King of Qi.
What is the difference between a certain family and a slave with three surnames?
All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy! "
Wang Song, who vowed not to surrender, did not get the respect of Zhang Xian and Xu Qing, but only the comment of "stubborn".
Under the attack of three people, Wang Song was actually better than Yingzhou's Jingchao. He defended for two and a half days, and then under the attack of Yue Yun holding two iron cone guns, the city gate was Broken, the city wall fell.
Yue Yun showed his talent as a top-notch warrior and took the lead in scaling the city wall. He directly captured the guard Wang Song alive with two iron cone spears and sent him to Zhang Xian.
Then his head was shown to the public.
At this time, the grain and grain team led by Niu Gao had not arrived at the battlefield yet. When he found out about this, he cursed his mother's bad luck and couldn't help but say so many words.
However, Yue Fei, who occupied Yingzhou, Suizhou, and Xiangyang Prefecture, had completely established his foothold in the six counties of Han and Xiangyang, and he had won the first battle.
At the same time, Li Cheng immediately informed Liu Yu of the battle report here after escaping, and promised that he was willing to retake Xiangyang Mansion and other places for the vanguard. Of course, he needed support.
Liu Yu was also directly frightened by Yue Fei's fierce offensive. The moment he saw the battle report, Liu Yu, who stayed behind, immediately went to Jin Wushu to get enough Jin troops.
Then he mobilized many elite soldiers and horses under his command to join Li Cheng.
At the same time, troops from Hebei, Hedong and other places came to help.
The so-called signing of the army means that whenever there is a war, all civilians are signed to serve as soldiers, which is called signing the army.
To put it bluntly, he is a naked young man.
In this way, Li Cheng once again gathered more than 300,000 troops under his command.
After Jin Wushu got the news, he immediately mobilized General Liu Hebo Jin to lead the army to join Li Cheng and assemble near Dengzhou.
But after receiving an army of 300,000, Li Chengyou felt that he was good enough to go head-to-head with Yue Fei, so he did not choose to join the Jin army in Dengzhou.
He led an army of 300,000 people into the battlefield first, hoping to recapture Xiangyang Mansion.
Facing this offensive, Yue Fei spat directly.
"What the hell is this? Get out!"
At the foot of Xiangyang City, Li Cheng, who commanded an army of 300,000 men, ran into Yue Fei who was coming out of the city to fight him to the death without even farting.
The 30,000 Yue family troops defeated the 300,000 puppet Qi army head-on. The battle lasted from morning to dusk. Yue Fei charged into the enemy formation four times and killed more than 40 generals. Finally, he directly defeated the 300,000 Li Cheng's puppet Qi army in a head-to-head manner. He was killed and defeated and returned.
For a moment, deafening shouts resounded under Xiangyang City.
"Great Song Dynasty, mighty!"
"The Yue Family Army is mighty!"
