Seeing that the reinforcements of the Protector Army had arrived, and the chariot array could not be broken, Jiagutu immediately led the remaining 3,000 cavalry troops without hesitation and fled towards the north.

One side is recuperating, and the other side has fought bloodily for most of the hour, even though the Jurchen cavalry is resistant to war and full of energy, but the war horse under the crotch is also extremely tired. Jiagu suddenly ran out of three miles, and was bitten by the Protectors.

"Mangu!"

Jia Gu suddenly shouted, he wanted to defeat the pursuers behind him with the best cavalry of the Jurchen soldiers. In the past few days, although the Protector Army has made rapid progress, it can use a single crossbow to fight with the Jurchen scouts. But it was a skirmish, and the Protectors could only strike away. But today, it is obviously impossible for the Protectors to leave with one blow, and they used the chariot array as bait, obviously determined to destroy the five thousand elite horsemen of Jiagutu.

As a veteran who rose from a small soldier to ten thousand households, Jia Gu Tu has an excellent psychological element, and it is precisely because he saw the intention of the people's cavalry that he is ready to use Mangu to kill a large number of these Central Plains men who can't draw their bows on horses, but can only charge with sabers high.

But this time, the Protector Army's cousin once again exceeded Jiagutu's expectations. Seeing the Jurchen cavalry running behind, they gradually lined up in a queue of hundreds of horsemen, and frequently reviewed, intending to draw their bows and shoot back. The Protectors have not slowed down even the slightest.

When the two armies were two hundred paces apart, the Jin soldiers had not yet performed their archery skills, and the hundreds of people who rushed to the front suddenly drew their bows one after another, and the arrows rained down, falling on the heads of the Jin soldiers in waves. The Protectors in front shot empty of the quiver and immediately moved to the two wings, while the Protectors in the back immediately moved forward, still flying like horses and pulling bows like rain. The Jin soldiers were caught off guard, and were shot down by the Protector Army, more than 100 horsemen.

This immediately disrupted the arrangement of the valley protrusion. Seeing that the Protectors' marksmanship was so superb, many of the golden soldiers refused to slow down their horses anymore, and kicked their horses in the belly with their feet, trying to run to the front of the team.

"What's the situation?" The valley protrusion is completely obscured. He never dreamed that there would be so many strong archers in the Protectors. These were really strong archers, because instead of using a single crossbow, they rode with the same bow as the Jurchen cavalry.

These cavalrymen were skillful in horsemanship, and in the midst of the wild gallop, they only controlled their horses with their legs and held their bows with both hands, and kept shooting at the Jurchen cavalry that fell behind. Although there were also cavalry who kept falling under the counterattack of the Jurchens, none of these cavalry retreated, but rushed forward more ferociously.

Xiao Shan held a large riding bow in his hand and shot three quivers in a row, shooting down at least seven or eight golden soldiers. The war horse galloped wildly, the cold wind hit his face, Xiao Shan suddenly went crazy, reached out and took off the iron hat on his head, revealing the Khitan hairstyle, opening his mouth, and letting out a wolf howl.

The cavalry around him was infected by Xiao Shan, and they also threw away their helmets one after another, letting out bursts of desolate wolf howls.

"It turned out to be a Khitan dog!" Jiagu muttered suddenly, and at the same time, an ominous shadow passed through his heart. The Jurchen broke the Khitan, not because the Khitan warriors were not good, but because the upper echelons were not good, and the kings were cowardly, so that countless warriors could not be strengthened, and they died on the battlefield in a daze. Jiagutu never expected that the Khitan warriors who had always looked down on the Song people would also bow down under the banner of Yue Fei and charge into battle for the Song people.

Jiagu Tu knew he was finished. Mangu was of no use to these Khitan warriors. Their marksmanship is just as strong. What's more critical is that the Jurchen warriors ran wild in the middle of the night, fought bloody battles in the early morning, and were already tired and tired, and these Khitans were the new force, and they had a grudge against the Jurchens to destroy their families and destroy the country, and they were pressed and beaten by the Jurchens for more than ten years, and now they finally have the upper hand, and they will definitely not miss the great opportunity to beat the water dogs.

Xiao Shan really didn't plan to let go of the Jurchens in front. In this battle, he not only had to correct the name of the Khitan warriors, but also earned the identity of a protector for the three thousand brothers. You must know that these 3,000 Khitan men wearing the uniforms of the protector army were still 3,000 prisoners of war serving hard labor in Zhunbei seven days ago. Yue Shuai was as vicious as hatred, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't crack the Jurchen people's resting archery method, he would definitely not adopt Xiaoshan's Jianyì.

The Protectors fought with the Jurchens for several months, capturing nearly 100,000 Han soldiers and more than 4,000 Khitans. Most of the most vicious military leaders were killed. There are also tens of thousands of Han soldiers who were used as hard labor, building cities and water conservancy in Yingtian and Xuzhou. Only about 40,000 people have actually been integrated into the Protectorate. As for the more than 4,000 Khitans, nearly 1,000 were cut down, and the rest were all used as hard labor. Only the more than 100 Khitan soldiers under the command of Xiao Shan, who were touched by the light of Xiao Shan, were fortunate to become the guards of the people.

Ten days ago, Zong Bi used Charal's Jianyì to block Yue Fei with the Anxiren archery method. Seeing that Yue Fei was worried, Xiao Shan immediately plucked up his courage and built Yue Fei to arm the more than 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war in Zhunbei, and to ride and shoot to break through the shot.

I have to say that Xiaoshan's construction has indeed aroused the disgust of many generals. What kind of coach will bring out what kind of soldiers. Yue Fei is as vicious as an enemy, and most of the generals under Yue Fei are like this. Ji Qian shouted at that time, "Big brother, those Khitans have the blood of my Song people on their hands, and it is already a great kindness to not kill them, but only let them serve ten years of hard labor." How is it possible to arm them again? ”

And Xue Bi said even more explicitly, staring at Xiao Shan with his eyes, and said to Yue Fei, "Yue Shuai, Wei Zheng of the previous dynasty said that if he is not of my race, his heart will be different. Emperor Wu of Liang accepted 3,000 remnants of the Liang tribe, so there was a rebellion in Houjing, and millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River were killed and injured. Tang Taizong Li Shimin did not listen to Wei Zheng's words, and did not kill the Turks, so the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Hu'er An Lushan. These Khitan prisoners of war must not be allowed to take up arms again. ”

Xiao Shan saw Yue Fei's brows furrowed, immediately knelt on the ground, and said proudly, "Yue Shuai, although the two generals of Ji Xue are reasonable, don't forget that Li Guangbi, who quelled the Anshi Rebellion, is also a Hu person. The Hu people, like the Han people, have heinous villains and heroes who are both loyal and righteous. Xiao's father is a Khitan, but his mother is Han. I have the blood of two peoples in my veins. Xiao mentioned this, and he definitely didn't have any selfish intentions. It was only when I saw that our army was trapped by the riding and shooting of the golden dog, and I was unwilling, so I thought of using Khitan prisoners of war to deal with the golden dog. I know that Yue Shuai let the Khitan prisoners of war serve hard labor in order to atone for their crimes. In that case, why not let them atone for their sins on the battlefield? ”

While Xiao Shan was speaking, Yue Fei kept staring at Xiao Shan's every facial expression. I have to admit that Xiao Shan's mention gave Yue Fei a great temptation. Now that Ying Tianfu is under enemy on all sides, if he can't defeat Zong Bi quickly, he will only let the surrounding forces rush up. Yue Fei is not worried about what storms can be stirred up in the hinterland of the Central Plains by the three thousand Khitan soldiers, today's Central Plains, with many heroes, is not a weak Eastern Jin Dynasty. The reason why Yue Fei hesitated was because the three thousand soldiers were all murderers who had killed the people of the Song Dynasty. Although he did not kill them, he was sentenced to twenty years of hard labor. Now they have not even completed their service for half a year, so they have been released, not only sorry for the Song people who died unjustly, but also against the rules of the people's protection army.

"Yue Shuai, I think Master Xiao's advice is reasonable." The first to stand up for Xiaoshan was Luo Yanqing. Luo Yanqing knelt on one knee, changed his fist and said, "Yue Shuai, Luo knows that military regulations cannot be violated, and civil laws cannot be violated. But those who want to achieve great things must act expediently. Our army lacks marksmen, and although there are single crossbows, they still can't go head-on with the golden dog. The only way to do this now is to reorganize the Khitan Army and the Han'er Army, which are proficient in archery, and let them serve as the front of the platoon. As long as they can counteract the rain of arrows from the Golden Dog, we can leave Zong Bi in Yucheng. Luo is willing to vouch for Division Commander Xiao, if there is chaos after the Khitan army is reorganized, Luo is willing to lead the army. ”

Luo Yanqing's words finally moved Yue Fei. Indeed, today's plan is to keep Ying Tiancai the most. If there is a mistake in Xuzhou, it will be the end of millions of people.

"Xiao Shan, I agree with your construction. However, this is a big matter, and I must seek the opinions of Li Lao and Huang Zhifu. I will write a letter, and you will respond to Tianfu overnight and send it to Li Lao. If the two of them agree, they will send you to Huaibei. Luo Yanqing, you should get up too. This time you go with Xiao Shan. ”

Xiao Shan and Luo Yanqing arrived at Yingtianfu and handed Yue Fei's letter to Li Bashao. After Li Bashao and Huang Zong discussed, they agreed to reorganize the Khitan soldiers. Xiaoshan Luo Yanqing traveled day and night and rushed to the Huaibei hard labor camp.

In the face of thousands of Khitan prisoners of war, Xiao Shan directly pointed out that this time he rearmed them so that they could serve as the front line. Because they are all sinners, they must wear their sins for meritorious service. If they can make a big difference in this battle, they will become a true protector. If they still have the blood of Khitan warriors, then re-mount. If they have their bones broken by the golden dogs, they will only have to hide in this hard labor camp and do twenty years of hard labor.

As soon as Xiao Shan's voice fell, more than 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war immediately went crazy. In the hard labor camp, they worked from morning to night every day, building roads, digging rivers, building cities, and burning kilns, which could torture these Khitan people who grew up on horseback. Some people couldn't stand this kind of fatigue and tried to escape secretly, but most of them were tied up and returned to the hard labor camp by the people of Yingtian, who were extremely vigilant by all the soldiers. For several months, not a single prisoner of war managed to escape. Many prisoners of war have long since died, and they just want to spend the rest of their lives in the camps. Although the hard labor camp is tired, at least it can eat well, which is much stronger than the chaotic north.

Thinking about it that way, now that he suddenly sees that he has a chance to get back on the horse again, of course these prisoners of war will not let go. As a manly man, he would rather die on the battlefield than do hard labor to the death.

In the end, Xiao Shan and Luo Yanqing picked 3,000 Khitan prisoners of war and 3,000 Han soldiers, all of whom were good at riding and shooting, and traveled day and night to Dangshan County, where they received the Yiying military armor sent by Xu Qing and Yue Fei's latest orders. Only then did the two cooperate with Ran Qing and ambush the most cunning Wanhu Chang Jia Gu Tu under Zong Bi's command.

The Jurchen cavalry was sleepy and lacking horses, and the Mangus lost their effectiveness again, and ran less than ten miles, and were soon surrounded by 6,000 Protector troops in a roundabout way. The two sides began hand-to-hand combat.

In this fight, Jin Bing was even more surprised to find that these Khitan prisoners of war and Han'er soldiers with vegetables on their faces were as fierce as starving ghosts in hell. All of them wielded sabers desperately, and exchanged their lives with the Jurchen cavalry.

The combat power of the Jurchens was much higher than that of these troops who had just crawled out of the hard labor camps. But their fighting spirit is far inferior to that of these hard soldiers. Because these hard servants want to use this battle to fight for their freedom for the rest of their lives. They would rather die on the battlefield than return to a hard labor camp.

It is precisely for this reason that the more than 3,000 elites of Jiagutu were actually pressed and beaten by these madmen. Six thousand against three thousand, of course, the one with more people wins. Not to mention that there are two guns, Luo Yanqing and Xiaoshan's three hundred guards as arrows. From morning to noon, the extremely exhausted Jurchen cavalry was finally wiped out. Wanhu Jiagutu also failed to escape from the battlefield.

Perhaps the only regret of Jia Gutu is that he did not die in the hands of Xiao Shan, nor in the hands of Luo Yanqing, but died under the knives of the three hard soldiers. Ten meritorious servants surrounded Jiagutu, and seven of them were cut down by Jiagutu, but the only three people who were left lifted Jiagutu off their horses, and two of them pressed Jiagutu's two arms, and one of the laborers cut off Jiagutu's head with a knife on his head.

At the moment before he died, Jia Gutu suddenly had a strange feeling. He felt that not only the 5,000 iron horsemen he brought were already in hell, but even the more than 20,000 iron horsemen of the fourth prince Zongbi were now struggling on the death line.

The hunch of the valley is correct. The peach blossom shop, which had not started a large-scale war for ten days, was already stained red with blood.

The distress fireworks released by Ran Qing were not only seen by Yue Fei, but also seen clearly by Zong Bi in the golden camp. Zong Bi immediately said to Charal beside him, "See, Jia Gutu must have succeeded." I heard that Yue Fei's crossbow arrows in the camp had run out, and he was waiting for these carts to support. As long as Jia Gu Tu can destroy Yue Fei's baggage, Yue Fei will not be able to last a few days. When he retreated, my rank and tail were in hot pursuit, even if we couldn't kill Yue Fei, we could still rush to Yingtian City. Charal, there's too much money there to count. ”

Charal grinned and said, "Fourth Prince, there is only one request from the general. When you reach Yingtian City, you only need to allow my army to loot ten villages. My thousands of sons' relatives are all drinking ice and snow on the Mongolian steppe. ”

Zong Bi laughed, "That's right! Charal, if you can destroy the Protectors in this battle, you should be the first to take the credit. If it weren't for you to offer this mangu scheme, Lao Tzu didn't know how to deal with Yue Fei yet. ”

The two were talking happily, and the centurion who was standing on the corner tower and was in charge of watching the movements of the Song camp on the Taolin side suddenly broke into the camp, knelt on his knees, and said hurriedly, "Fourth prince, it seems that the Song camp is about to withdraw the army." ”

"What?"

Zong Bi strode out of the tent, ran up to the corner tower, and looked into the distance. By the faint morning light, you can indeed see the chaos in the Protector Army camp. 20,000 infantry rushed out of their positions in a haphazard manner and ran to the west. The thousands of cavalry were also divided into hundreds of squads, some to the west, some to the south, and some to the north, but none of them rushed towards the golden camp to the east.

"This is," Zaral, who rushed up after Zongbi, saw the scene in front of him and said in disbelief, "Bombing the camp?" ”

Zong Bi stared at the Protector Army for a while, and finally looked up to the sky and smiled, "Haha, God help me." Yue Fei, Yue Fei, I thought your people's protector army was an iron army. It turns out that when the backup is cut off, the camp will also be bombed. ”

Charal reminded, "Fourth prince, beware of Yue Nan's deception! ”

Zong Bi said nonchalantly, "Charal, no matter what Yue Nanman's plan is, his army is now in chaos, and it is the meal on the plate of my tens of thousands of cavalry troops. The flag officer, immediately give the order, and the whole army will attack. ”
