Yue Fei's consecutive battles finally recovered all the lost ground and at the same time brought the two sides back to the same level again.
Wanyan Zongwang only got the news when the water receded. When he knew that Yue Pengju, his old friend, had gone on a rampage and almost hit him in front of him during the rainy night, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"I thought that this time I would be able to shock the world, but I never thought that Yue Pengju would already have such a method.
Very good, very good! "
After a brief surprise, he became more and more excited. He quickly stabilized the rear, personally inspected various places to prevent anyone from bullying the people, rescued the people with all his strength, and distributed rice and grain to build momentum for the Jin people.
When the situation in the rear became stable again, the Yellow River water receded and the gap was blocked.
After everything settled, he personally led his troops into Daming County.
"Since Yue Pengju has already taken action himself, I can't lag behind others. Let's fight again today to see who is better!"
After visiting Daming County, Wanyan Zongwang did not punish anyone. Instead, he went to the camp of the wounded soldiers and personally comforted and bandaged them. From the mouths of the wounded soldiers, he learned what they had experienced in this war.
Afterwards, they replayed the battle, pointed out the mistakes of Wanyan Arubu and others one by one, and then whipped them twenty times to make them vigilant.
They brought many cattle and sheep from the rear, slaughtered them and held a banquet for the entire army to re-invigorate their morale, and promised them generous rewards as long as they defeated the opponent.
At the same time, he threw the reward on the city wall of Daming Mansion, in full view of them.
After these things, the morale of the Jin people rose again, and Wanyan Zongwang also led them out of the city.
Outside the formation, Wanyan Zongwang leaped on his horse and shouted loudly with a gun, asking Na Yue Fei to come out and fight them.
After a period of rest, the Yue Family Army's army has arrived. Their physical strength has been restored and their morale is also high. Seeing the Jin soldiers shouting for formation, the Jin soldiers also raised their heads and raised their chests. Yue Fei knew that Wanyan Zongwang was serious about this.
"Send troops!" Yue Fei gave the order without hesitation. Almost all the 50,000 troops were dispatched and established a foothold five miles in front of Wanyan Zongwang.
Yue Fei and Wanyan Zongwang stepped forward together. The two people who had fought against each other in Yanjing City met each other again. This time, they also lamented that things have changed.
"The young general from Yanjing has now become prominent and leads an army. It is really gratifying."
"The reckless general of the past is now calm and majestic. He has become a handsome and powerful man."
The two seemed not to be enemies about to fight to the death, but more like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
When Wanyan Zongwang was nearly half a century old, he conquered the Liao Dynasty and defeated the Song Dynasty, and made great military achievements.
Yue Fei, on the other hand, was only in his thirties and in his prime. He had resisted the Jin people for many years, wiped out rebellions in various places, and stabilized the Song Dynasty. He also had the momentum to become the first general in the Song Dynasty.
The two of them didn't chat for too long. After both sides waved their hands to each other, they started their preparations.
"The sword and shield bearers are in front, the crossbowmen are behind, and the cavalry go to the two wings, march slowly, and prepare to charge." Wanyan Zongwang did not use any tactics. This was a frontal attack and the best test.
When Yue Fei saw this, he also made arrangements.
"Zhang Xian led the front army to move forward, Qi Fang transferred the right army into the middle army to replace Wang Gui, and Niu Gao led the left army to cut off the rear to prepare for support."
The Yue family army is divided into many military branches. Among them, Zhang Xian leads the front army and is the spearhead. Wang Gui is loyal. He seems to be out of touch but is too calm during the war, so he commands the middle army to protect the commander's flag.
Niu Gao of the left army and Qi Fang of the right army were both surrendered rebel generals. They had sufficient soldiers and horses and strong strength. At the same time, both of them had the ability to lead the army.
As for the rear army, Wang Jing is Yue Fei's old friend. Although his ability is not as good as Suli, he is still very good at escorting grain and grass to stabilize the rear. Therefore, the five armies are the main force of Yue's army.
But now Wang Jing is maintaining the grain roads and patrolling the rear, while Wang Gui is guarding Nanle.
So Niu Gao and Qi Fang could only be transferred to the central army and the rear.
After that, Yue Fei continued to arrange:
"The commander of the Tabai Army, Dong Xian, is responsible for traveling in all directions. If the Jin cavalry makes a surprise attack, warn them and stop them!"
"Li Dao, Hu Qing leads the selected front troops to take charge of the left wing. The swords and shields are outside, and the crossbowmen follow orders."
"Yao Zheng leads You Yi's army to protect on the right."
"Kou Cheng leads the cavalry behind, and Xu Qing covers it."
"Other ministries are performing their duties and waiting for orders!"
In the early stage of the battle, Yue Fei did not mobilize his army frequently. After forming a simple formation, he began to advance slowly, with both sides gradually advancing until the distance reached the position in both sides' hearts.
"charge!"
"kill!"
Wanyan Zongwang and Yue Fei roared at the same time, and then the armies of both sides began to speed up in an orderly manner, followed by the two sides fighting together.
"Crossbowman, shoot!"
"The Sword and Shield Soldier raises his shield!"
"The crossbowmen retreat, retreat!"
"Cavalry charge!"
Orders came out from Wanyan Zongwang's mouth one after another. Soldiers continued to rush forward to fight and charge. At the same time, the army was dispatched very smoothly.
After the crossbowmen fired arrows one after another at the rear of the Yue family army, they immediately moved to the rear the moment the two armies formally clashed together.
The spearman immediately stepped forward and stood behind the sword and shield man, becoming another means of attack.
At the same time, the cavalry on both wings had completely increased their speed and pounced directly on the two wings of the Yue Family Army.
At the moment they charged, Dong Xian had already fired Mingdi, and then led the Tabai Army to harass the flanks and slow down their progress, while buying enough time for the troops in the rear.
However, Dong Xian did not fight to the death, because at this time, there was no need for his group of scouts to fight to the death.
After seeing that Li Dao of the Selection Front Army and Yao Zheng of the You Yi Army were ready, they immediately led the Tabai soldiers to leave the battlefield.
His second task was to patrol all directions to ensure that Wanyan Zongwang would not send troops to attack their rear when the armies were fighting.
The armies of both sides fought desperately, and the Jin's cavalry was like two sharp knives inserted directly into the sides of Yue Fei's army.
But it encountered extremely tough obstruction.
"Giant Axe-Man!" Although the name of the Selected Front Army is called Selected Front, in fact they are composed of ordinary rebels and young men, as well as soldiers and horses screened from Niu Gao Qifang.
Why is it called the Selective Front Army... Yue Fei said that the name sounds nice.
It's just that the front army was selected as one of the standing armies of the Song Army. It was well-equipped and the soldiers were brave, making it the main force of the army.
At this time, facing the Jin man's charge, Li Dao, who selected the front army, responded immediately. Instead of letting the sword and shield men rush to stop him, he directly called out the giant axemen under his command.
With one blow of the ax, both men and horses were shattered. This was the Mo Dao team in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
All giant axemen are men over eight feet tall, wearing strong heavy armor and holding giant axes weighing tens of kilograms. They must eat meat and drink medicinal wine every day.
They need to have enough food every day, and their daily training is to carry weights, weights, and weights again.
Under such a situation, one can wear hundreds of kilograms of armor and swing dozens of kilograms of giant ax like the wind.
Only with one ax can both men and horses be shattered.
The force of the cavalry's charge also caused them to retreat continuously. At the critical moment, the sword and shield bearers used their shields to firmly press against their lower backs to support their bodies.
At this time, under Li Dao's order, the crossbowmen fired life-threatening arrows directly at the attacking Jin cavalry.
The casualties became heavy.
On the other side, You Yijun is even more miserable. This name... really only sounds good.
As one of Yue Fei's subordinates, Yao Zheng was also very helpless. This black tower-like man looked at the charging Jin cavalry and directly used You Yijun's best fighting method.
"Brothers, the time has come to serve the country. Charge with me, charge with me!"
With a roar, thousands of Youyi troops raised their weapons and charged towards the menacing Jin cavalry without fear.
When the war horses hit the soldiers, countless soldiers were knocked away with bleeding from their mouths and noses, but this sight did not make anyone feel the slightest fear.
You Yijun is just a soldier of the Yue Family Army, and Yao Zheng is just a general from Yuan Cong who has a good relationship with Yue Fei.
He is not as cautious as Wang Gui, his charge is not as good as Zhang Xian's, and his command is not as good as Niu Gao, Dong Xian and other surrendered generals. Even old brothers such as Wang Jing, Li Dao and Xu Qing Koucheng are far behind him.
But Yao Zheng still did not fall, nor did he sit on his previous achievements and wait for death. He had to go on as long as he was alive.
So he only chose one path, that is, since he couldn't succeed in martial arts, he could only fight hard.
This life is the only thing he has.
"Kill!" Yao Zheng yelled and rushed into the golden men first. He slashed hard with the long knife in his hand and knocked off each of the golden men.
At the same time, wounds began to appear on his body.
"You Yijun, kill the enemy!"
Every time there was an additional wound, a slogan would be shouted. The You Yijun he brought out were just like him, lunatics who only knew how to attack.
They didn't have the giant axemen, the crossbowmen with superb shooting skills, or the drooling horse cavalry that he envied.
Everyone in You Yijun only has one weapon, and that is the short sword!
"Short and dangerous, you can only fight at close range with a short sword. Since we, the Youyi Army, want to kill the enemy, we must kill the enemy's heart and soul!"
This is You Yijun’s slogan.
The first five You Yi soldiers could replace one Jin cavalry, but when more and more You Yi soldiers stood in front of the Jin people, they tried their best to slow them down.
Three You Yijun can replace one Jin.
With Yao Zheng taking the lead in the fight, Sergeant You Yi, whose morale is getting higher and higher, can almost do two for one.
"Send the order to Kou Cheng and lead the troops to charge!"
"Where is the control of Li Shan!"
"Li Shan is here!"
"Lead the enemy army to defeat the enemy!"
The moment the Jin cavalry charges on both sides were delayed, Yue Fei started his counterattack.
