Chapter Eighty-Three: Panic

Hearing Yue Fei say that they were here to report the victory, Yang Yizhong was not stunned, only envious, he took Yue Fei and others to the big tent of the recruitment division, and said conclusively: "I know that General Cai will definitely be able to win the battle, General Cai governs the army, there is a strict and strict, strict and moderate, the ancient Ming will be a model, how can there be a reason not to win the battle?" ”

Seeing that Yang Yizhong admired Cai Yi so much, Yue Fei, who had already admired Cai still so much, suddenly looked at Yang Yizhong more and more pleasing to the eye, he walked side by side with Yang Yizhong, and said: "You are right, my general pays the first attention to discipline in governing the army, but he does not lose his generosity, my general loves soldiers like sons, but he never arranges soldiers, my Jinwu army freezes to death and does not demolish houses, starves to death and does not plunder, does not take a stitch and a thread to the people, and buys and sells fairly......"

Listening to Yue Fei's gushing Wang Po selling melons, Yang Yi said: "This person worships his General Cai for a long time!" ”

Finally, after Yue Fei finished selling and boasting, Yang Yizhong asked: "Brother, can you tell me what great victory you have achieved this time?" ”

This good news was originally reported, and it is impossible to say it to others.

Yue Fei said: "My general lured the enemy down the mountain, and annihilated the enemy's 6,000 men and horses in two battles, and now leads a large army to surround the rebel Zhang Liang Cottage, so that the rebels dare not step out of Zhang Liang Cottage half a step. ”

As soon as he heard Yue Fei say that the Jin Wu army had annihilated 6,000 Song Jiang rebels, although he still admired Cai very much, Yang Yizhong still couldn't believe it.

First of all, the battle was too glorious, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

Secondly, the Jinwu army annihilated six thousand Songjiang rebels, and some Songjiang rebels were holding on to Zhangliang Cottage, so there were seven thousand men and horses on Zhangliang Mountain, which shouldn't be, could it be that there were only two or three thousand men and horses on Dui Su Mountain?

Based on these, Yang Yizhong said: "Can you tell me the details of your battles?" ”

Afraid that Yue Fei wouldn't say anything, Yang Yizhong added: "There is still a long distance from the Recruitment Division here, and if you have nothing to do, you can talk to me, so that I can make progress." ”

This is not a secret, but a big face, and Yue Fei has a good impression of Yang Yizhong, so he said: "Why not do this...... After receiving the order to contain the rebels on Zhang Liangshan, the general of my family divided our Jinwu army into three parts, and promoted all the officers of my Jinwu army......"

As Yue Fei narrated, Yang Yizhong became more and more surprised, he never expected that the battle could be fought like this!

Yue Fei has experienced these battles throughout the whole process, and he is extremely meticulous, so his description of the details is very intuitive and objective, and as soon as Yang Yizhong heard it, he knew that Yue Fei's previous statement that he had annihilated six thousand Song Jiang rebels was not an exaggeration at all.

Yang Yizhong admired from the bottom of his heart: "General Cai is really the reincarnation of General Mianni!" ”

Yue Fei nodded and said: "My general is indeed powerful, if other generals bring two or three thousand new troops to contain the seven thousand rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain, and can successfully complete the task, it will already be very good, but my general led the three thousand new army, not only successfully completed the task, but also annihilated six thousand rebels and surrounded one thousand rebels, how many traitors are there in Song Jiang's gang of rebels?" Only about 20,000, my general with 3,000 new troops wiped out more than 30%, how powerful! ”

Yang Yixin said: "You have one less thing to say, this group of rebels has been suppressed for a year and a half, and the official army has been defeated repeatedly, and as a result, the rebels have been suppressed more and more, only your general Cai has fought a few big victories and severely damaged the rebels, saving some face for the imperial court, so that the mob who are about to move do not dare to act rashly." ”

Yue Fei suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how are you doing here?" How long will it take to wipe out the rebels on the mountain? The rebels we captured confessed that there were actually only 3,000 rebels on the mountain. ”

When Yang Yizhong heard this, his face immediately turned red!

He was so panicked!

Three thousand against seven thousand, annihilated six thousand, surrounded one thousand!

And on their side, an army of 50,000 besieged 3,000, and took turns to attack for several days, but as a result, there was no hope of breaking through, let alone that, they even folded thousands!

Shame on you!

Shame on you!

Yue Fei's EQ was indeed a little worse, he didn't see Yang Yizhong's embarrassment, and reminded again: "Brother Yang? ”

Yang Yizhong was helpless, so he could only say truthfully: "When we arrived at the first mountain of Dusu Mountain, the lords and generals were humble to each other (in fact, they passed the buck to each other), so it was not possible to decide who would take the lead in attacking. ”

Yue Fei's eyes widened and said, "This is a waste of the precious time that we have won so hard for a day?" ”

Yang Yizhong listened to the words, and it was even more embarrassing!

But no, if the Jin Wu Army did not annihilate the rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain, but only used a bluff to temporarily frighten the rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain, so that the rebels on Zhang Liang Mountain did not dare to go down the mountain for the time being, then the Zhao Si side would really waste a day of precious time that the Jin Wu Army had won so hard.

Yang Yizhong was really embarrassed to take this stubble, so he could only change the topic and said: "The next day, after full discussion, the adults and generals recommended the Shun'an army as the vanguard force, and the Shun'an army sent the general General Cong Sui to fight, General Cong Sui took the lead, and was the first to rush to the wall, but unfortunately, General Cong Yi just rushed to the wall, and was hit by a flying locust stone by the rebels, and died on the spot with bad luck. The Shun'an army organized several more attacks on the village, but in the end they were all repelled by the rebels. ”

Without waiting for Yue Fei to ask, Yang Yizhong said again: "In the evening, Liang Dujian sent your Central Forbidden Army General Wang Zongmian to lead the Central Forbidden Army to attack the cottage, General Wang Zongwei was also the first soldier, and once he also stepped on the wall, but later because the rebels counterattacked too fiercely, General Wang Zongwei had to jump off the wall, and as a result, he broke his leg. ”

Yang Yizhong continued: "In the past two days, the armies surrounded the pile of millet cottages and attacked in turn, but they attacked for a day and two nights, but they failed to break through. ”

Actually-

Most of the big cities are easier to fight than the small castles, because the protection of the big cities is generally guarded by the continuous passes and armies nearby, and when the enemy is under the walls of the big city, it can only mean that the defender's troops have been almost wiped out, all field battles have basically failed, important passes have been lost, and morale is gone.

The huge length of the city wall looks terrible, but when the battle really starts, the defending forces are scattered on the city wall for dozens of miles, and it is easy to be broken through in a concentrated manner, like Li Yuan breaking Chang'an, and the Qing army breaking Jinan, all of which are easily taken.

To say that the most difficult to fight is actually the kind of ancient castles and small towns, these ancient castles and small villages have all kinds of means of defending the city, the internal personnel are enough to rotate, and there are their own troops waiting for the opportunity to move, the morale is high, and the besieging side can only fight hard with human lives.

The more representative ones are the battle of Yubi and the battle of Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang.

In the battle of Yubi, Gao Huan's hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Wei Xiaokuan, digging earth mountains, digging tunnels and other almost every way he could think of, but in exchange for 60 days of 70,000 dead and wounded, the city still stands, making Gao Huan die of grief.

Zhang Patrol guarded Suiyang with 7,000 people (when the city was broken, only 400 people remained) to block An Lushan's hundreds of thousands of rebels south to Jianghuai's action, for the Tang Dynasty to protect half of the country, the so-called defending a city to defend the world, is the Suiyang city guarded by Zhang Patrol.

All in all, some ancient castles and small towns are indeed very difficult to fight.

But now Yue Fei doesn't know much about this, he said in his heart: "An army of 50,000 can't attack a small cottage defended by 3,000 rebels, and this combat power is too poor!" ”

Although Yang Yizhong understood that there was a big reason why the Dui Su Cottage was not attacked by them because the cottage was indeed too difficult to fight, the 50,000 army could not defeat a small cottage guarded by 3,000 men and horses, no matter what the reason, it was not glorious.

Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong were silent at the same time.

At this moment, a sturdy man approached.

At first glance, this man is a detention officer, that is, a detention chief, and he can be regarded as a military attache who has barely entered the product.

When Yang Yizhong saw the sturdy man, he immediately saluted him and said, "Zhang Chengju (Chengxinlang)!" ”

The strong man smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Yang, where are you going?" ”

Yang Yizhong replied: "I want to take Jin Wujun's brother to recruit Si Baojie." ”

The sturdy man was surprised and envious: "General Cai has made meritorious service again?" How much work? ”

Yang Yizhong did not immediately answer the strong man's words, but first introduced Yue Fei to the strong man: "This brother's name is Yue Fei, he is the captain of General Cai's personal guard, and he also made a great contribution this time, he captured Mu Heng alive. ”

As soon as the sturdy man heard Yue Fei's identity and Yue Fei's great achievements, he immediately said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Yue Fei's brother, the brother can be captured alive and not blocked, he must be a great hero with good martial arts!" ”

Yang Yizhong introduced Yue Fei to a strong man, and said: "This Zhang Chengju's surname is Zhang Mingjun, he is my commander and a hot-blooded hero, he was the first to rush to the wall last night, and fought on the wall for about a pillar of incense for a long time, and then because there was no successor, he jumped off the wall again as a last resort. ”

The first to rush to the city wall and the walled wall are often the most heroic people in the army, and such people are very feared in the army.

Therefore, after hearing Yang Yizhong's introduction to Zhang Jun and say that Zhang Jun was the first to rush to the wall last night, Yue Fei solemnly said: "Brother Zhang is so heroic!" ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Eh~ What if you rush up, no one will continue to do it, after all, it will be in vain, unlike Brother Yue, you have made a real contribution, I'm afraid it won't be long before Brother Yang and I will salute when we see you." ”

Although Zhang Jun is smiling at the moment, anyone can hear his loneliness.

In fact, Zhang Jun desperately rushed to the wall, just to make a head, but because his comrades couldn't do it, let him take risks in vain, how could he be peaceful?

Yang Yizhong heard Zhang Jun's loneliness, deliberately diverted the conversation, and said: "Zhang Chengju, didn't you just ask General Cai how much he did this time, I told you, don't drop your jaw in shock." ”

Zhang Jun said: "General Cai has made a monstrous achievement again? ”

Yang Yizhong said: "Annihilating 6,000 rebels, killing two rebel leaders, and capturing one rebel leader alive, I'm afraid it won't be long before General Cai will become the main envoy (Zhu Si Zheng Envoy, Zheng Qipin) and lead the whole team." ”

Zhang Jun was really shocked, and then showed Chi Guoguo's envy and even jealousy, he said in his heart: "Others pinning their heads to their waists in the side court may not be able to reach the height that they may not be able to reach for a lifetime, this General Cai only took less than half a year to do it, this is really more popular than people!" ”

"Promotion? Expansion? Opportunity? ”

Zhang Jun suddenly had an idea, and then he bowed deeply to Yue Fei, and said: "Brother Yang and I are both brave people, but it's a pity that heroes are useless, I heard that General Cai is recently on a wide campaign (in fact, he is digging the corner of the friendly army) The low-level generals who dare to fight, Brother Yue is a popular person around General Cai, can you say a few words for the two of us?" ”
