Chapter 15 The Gift of Robes

The reason why Zong Ze specifically asked for the head to be examined was because some rebel generals liked to kill good people and take risks. In fact, not only the generals of the righteous army killed good and risked their merits, but it was the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty that liked to do this the most. Jiangnan Square Wax actually cut off millions of heads. Huainan Ping Wang Qing, but more than 10,000 rebels, actually cut off more than 700,000 heads. However, the faces of the Jurchen soldiers are not the same as those of the Song people, and most of them are bald rat tails with copper rings in their ears, which is difficult to impersonate.

If Yang Zaixing really killed more than 200 Jurchen elites, it would indeed be a great achievement. Zong Ze will definitely not hesitate to reward him.

Before Yang Zaixing could speak, Yue Fei clenched his fists and said, "Report to Zong Shuai, the last general has already checked his head just now, and they are indeed all bald rat-tailed Jurchen elites with earrings. Because he was afraid of the bloody qi colliding with the sect commander, the head was temporarily placed in the black armor army. ”

Zong Ze would not suspect Yue Fei if he doubted anyone. And Song Jiang, who can best identify the head of the Jurchen people in the world, will definitely choose Yue Fei. Because Yue Fei has cut off thousands of heads of Jurchen elite soldiers so far.

Zong Ze looked at Yang Zaixing with blazing eyes, and suddenly jumped off the carriage, which startled Zhao Shixing, who was driving the car. Zong Ze walked up to Yang Zaixing and praised loudly, "Zaixing is a real hero!" The victory of the flag greatly boosted the morale of our army. Sure enough, it is worthy of being the enemy of 10,000 people respected by Pengju! ”

Yang Zaixing heard Zong Ze say that Yue Fei admired him, and couldn't help but glance at Yue Fei gratefully. Yesterday, Yang Zaixing defeated Yue Fei's two favorite generals in a row, but he didn't expect Yue Fei not only not to hold a grudge, but also to promote himself in front of Zong Ze.

Zong Ze saw the wound on Yang Zaixing's arm at this time, and hurriedly asked Zhao Shixing to take the gold creation medicine in the car. Zong Ze personally bandaged Yang Zaixing with medicine, while asking about the battle. Knowing that Yang Zaixing was injured and picked up the Jurchen Qianhu Saza with one shot, he was even more full of praise. "There is an ancient Zhang Huan waiting to break the Dangyang Bridge. Today, Yang Zaixing stabbed the Jurchen general to death with a shot. ”

After bandaging the wound, Zong Ze asked, "Yang Zaixing, can you still fight today?" ”

"Can fight!" Yang Zaixing replied sharply. "A few minor injuries are not enough to worry about. Wherever the banner of the commander of the sect points to, I will kill it. ”

At this time, Yang Zaixing was completely bloody. Zong Shuai personally bandaged his wounds, this treatment, presumably even Yue Fei had never enjoyed it. So he decided to live up to the kindness of Zong Shuai.

Zong Ze pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Zhao Shixing, "Shixing, you personally go to Cao Cheng's rear army, and say that I will borrow Yang Zaixing for a day." Tell him that the Black Armor Army killed two Jurchen Qianhu today, made a great contribution, and the old man was rewarded after the war. ”

Zhao Shixing glanced at Yang Zaixing, and secretly said in his heart, why does Zong Shuai value Yang Zaixing so much? It's just a brave man, what role can it play in the battle of all armies! Although he didn't understand Zong Ze's approach, Zhao Shixing still led two personal soldiers to give Cao Cheng an order.

The task assigned by Zong Ze to Yang Zaixing was very simple, let him be Yue Fei's general for a day. Zong Ze said, "Yang Zaixing, are you willing to temporarily serve as Peng's subordinate?" ”

Yang Zaixing said with a smile, "General Yue even broke the golden soldiers, and Zaixing admired it very much. Being able to be a pawn for General Yue for a day is Zaixing's wish. ”

"Good!" Zong Ze grabbed Yue Fei with one hand and Yang Zaixing with the other, and said loudly, "Sha Guzhi is a famous general under Zong Han. I hope that the two of you will work together today to defeat this fang in one fell swoop. ”

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing responded in unison, "The last general will go all out, and he will not return." ”

At this time, the former army and the people's army sent someone to report that the army of Shaguzhi had come three miles away. Yue Fei immediately said goodbye to Zong Ze and hurried to the front army. Yang Zaixing wanted to follow Yue Fei, but was stopped by Zong Ze.

Zong Ze pointed to the Yellow River, which was two miles away to the north, and said with emotion, "But let the dragon city fly, and don't let Huma cross the Yin Mountain." The Emperor and Song Dynasty are now broken mountains and rivers, and the Hu people drink the Central Plains. The old man has the will to kill the enemy, but he is helpless to be an old scholar who is approaching his old age. My greatest wish in this life is to cross the Yellow River again, wipe out all the Jin troops that invaded the West Hebei Road, and restore the old land of the Great Song Dynasty. If this battle can destroy the army of Shaguzhi, the old man decided to cross the river with his army, go straight to the area of Huazhou, Mengzhou, and fight with Zong Han's middle route army. Yang Zaixing, do you think we can win today? ”

Yang Zaixing looked at the old man with white hair and thin face in front of him, and suddenly felt a little sad. Zong Ze dedicated all his blood to the people of the Central Plains and to the Zhao and Song courts, but he could not get the trust of the court. Now the old man is not cured, but he is anxious to fight a decisive battle with Shagu, or to protect the people along the Yellow River and leave a little vitality for the Central Plains.

Sha Gu Zhi is Zonghan's personal general, and he has 10,000 Jurchen iron horsemen under his command, all of whom are the elite of the rest of their lives. To put it mildly, one Jurchen cavalry can fight three Song cavalry. Although Yue Fei repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers, no matter whether he defeated Yelu Ma Wu or Yinshuke, the Jurchen soldiers they led were only 5,000.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible. Although this sentence spread all over the world was bragging, it gradually became an iron law under the illustrious results of the Jurchens. Many armies that fought with the Jurchens always inquired first about the number of Jurchen horses. If there are only three or four thousand, you may dare to fight with several times the number of people. If the Jurchen army was immediately defeated, most of the generals would simply choose to flee.

But Zong Ze, who was old and frail, chose to face off against Sha Guzhi head-on. If this battle is won, it will directly destroy the war myth of the Jurchens. If this battle is lost, perhaps no one in the Song Kingdom will dare to stop in front of tens of thousands of Jurchen military horses. Because Zong Ze knew the importance of this battle, when he was about to fight, he had no confidence in victory.

Yang Zaixing has the belief that he will win. Yang Zaixing almost tried his best to defeat the five hundred Jurchen soldiers. But there are thousands of cavalry, and individual bravery does not play a big role. But in the face of Zong Ze's inquiry, Yang Zaixing still replied simply, "Zong Shuai, in today's battle, our army will win." ”

Zong Ze asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Zaixing replied, "Because my army cannot be defeated." ”

Zong Ze laughed, "It's a good sentence that our army can't be defeated." ”

Zong Ze took off the white bear skin robe on his body and directly draped it on Yang Zaixing. "Yang Zaixing, you put on my robe and kill more golden dogs for me."

Yang Zaixing wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zong Ze's blazing eyes, he could only say with tears in his eyes, "Zong Shuai and sit in the Chinese army." Re-emerging will be born to capture the sand and the ancient quality of the sacrifice to the sect commander. ”

Zong Ze coughed twice, and said with a smile, "The old man is waiting for you and Pengju in the carriage for the good news." ”

Yang Zaixing hugged his fists again and strode straight to the front army.

At this time, the front army had already confronted Shagu head-on. There are tens of thousands of people, boundless. What's more, there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 troops on the banks of the Yellow River today. Not counting Cao Cheng's rear army, Yue Fei and Chen Qu led 13,000 cavalry. Coupled with the 8,000 cavalry of the ancient sand, the ironclad battle group that stretched for more than ten miles on the bank of the Yellow River made the dark clouds in the sky eclipsed.

In winter, the water of the Yellow River is much shallower, but the sound of the water is still very loud, booming, like thunder. But what was louder than the water of the Yellow River was the long neighing of the war horses before the battle, and what was thicker than the cold air in the sky was the murderous aura of the two armies.

Not only is there a murderous aura, but there is also a bloody aura that is so thick that it can't be dissolved. After the Sha Gu army set up its position, first, he did not send anyone out to challenge Yue Fei, and second, he did not lead a large army to assault the people's army. The first thing he did was to wave his hand, and the three hundred Jurchen Iron Guards who had been defeated by Yang Zaixing just now walked out of the position.

At this time, the three hundred iron guards all took off their armor and revealed their naked upper bodies. Each person holds a short knife. They walked out of the position and stood at a distance of five feet, facing the direction of the Song army. Shagu Ze walked up to these guards and scolded something.

After scolding for a while, Sha Guzhi walked back into the big formation. The three hundred Jurchen Iron Guards let out a wolf howl almost at the same time, and then stabbed the short knife in their hands into their stomachs.

The scene of the Jurchen Iron Guard's suicide shocked the Song Jun on the other side. A lot of people are asking, what's going on? The old men haven't fought yet, why did they scare the golden dog to suicide.

Only Yue Fei understood that this was Sha Guzhi demonstrating military law. These Jurchen guards did not even snatch back the bodies of two thousand households, and of course they had to be executed by military law. However, Yue Fei didn't know if Sha Guzhi deliberately chose to execute three hundred iron guards in front of the two armies, if he had other intentions.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Lu attacked the State of Wu and killed the father of King Goujian of Yue. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who was only 20 years old, led an army of 8,000 and fought a decisive battle with Lu at the foot of Gusu Mountain. At that time, He Lu had 50,000 soldiers, and there were two generals under his command, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu. Wu Zixu, we don't need to talk about it. Who is Sun Wu? That is the ancient military god who wrote "The Art of War".

It can be said that before the war, everyone in the world thought that there was no suspense about victory or defeat. Gou Jian, who is weak and outnumbered, is definitely not an opponent of Lu. But Gou Jian used Guiguzi's desperate plan. But before the war, Gou Jian first sent 3,000 dead soldiers, divided into three platoons, and one row ran to commit suicide in front of the Wu army, so that the Wu army lost its fighting spirit. Then he led an army of 5,000 to attack, and killed him in the first battle.

However, Yue Fei was very skeptical of the historical knowledge of the ancient sand. He may not have heard of the name of Goujian, the king of Yue. Therefore, Yue Fei thought that he didn't have to worry about the ancient sand quality to make Guiguzi's ancient tricks.

What's more, even if all the people and horses of Shagu committed suicide, the cavalry of the Song Kingdom would not have a mental breakdown. Because most of these Song cavalry troops were from the army after breaking the family. All of them have a common enmity with the Jurchens.

However, just in case, Yue Fei still waved his hand and directly sent Yang Zaixing, who had just arrived at the front army. When Yang Zaixing came to the front army wearing Zong Ze's bearskin robe, he made the generals' eyes blue with envy. Of course, many people are not convinced by Yang Zaixing. Especially Ji Qian Wang Gang, thinking that Yang Zaixing had just killed two Jurchen thousand households, he was given a robe by Zong Shuai. None of the cavalry generals of the Protector Army have ever killed a thousand Jurchen households, nor have they seen Zong Shuai so generous, which is really a bit unfair in reward and punishment.

However, the two of them only dared to mumble in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it on their lips. Otherwise, he would definitely be severely reprimanded by Yue Fei.

Yue Fei knew that some generals were dissatisfied with Yang Zaixing, and decided to let Yang Zaixing show his skills again. So directly send Yang Zaixing out of the big array.

"Yang Zaixing, and show off his might in front of the battle, and break through the murderous aura accumulated by these golden soldiers."

Yang Zaixing nodded, put on the bearskin robe given by Zong Ze, urged the black dragon horse, came to the front of the formation, and shouted, "Golden dog, your grandfather Yang Zaixing is here." Who dares to come up and fight me? If you don't dare to fight, you are all my grandsons. ”
