Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan originally planned to rely on Dangshan County to resist the people's army, but they didn't expect that when their 50,000 troops worked hard to reach Dangshan, they found that the banner at the head of the city had changed their surnames. Zhu Xing originally sent a Dutou town surnamed Shi to guard Dangshan County, but at this moment, the banner fluttering in the eyes of Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan was written with the word "protecting the people". and a banner with the word Dou Dayue written on it.

Liu Fu said that his voice was not good, and he was about to lead the army to retreat, when he suddenly heard a golden drum at the head of the city, the gate of Dangshan was opened, and Zhang Xianjiqian led a thousand cavalry troops out of the city. The next to come out was the 3,000 Protector Infantry Army, Guo Jin and Li Heng each held their own banners, and soon lined up outside the city.

Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan had a total of 50,000 horses, but the Protector Army was only 3,000. The disparity in numbers was more than ten times, but Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan couldn't raise the courage to fight a decisive battle at all. The two thousand Protector Cavalry in front of him were light cavalry, and the black armor was not thick, but it looked like it made Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan feel cold. Everyone in the Protectors was wearing armor, and the sabers in their hands gleamed silver in the sunlight, making them look extremely sharp. What's more, each cavalryman carried ten short spears on his back, and small crossbows hung from his saddles. Wang Shan's army was defeated under this short spear. With the help of a short spear thrown at the speed of a horse, two layers of heavy armor can be broken within fifty steps. If you don't have armor on your body, you will either die or be injured if you encounter this short spear formation. And Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan's army of 50,000 was less than 10,000 in armor. Less than 3,000 were heavily armoured.

If it was just that the cavalry was well equipped, Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan would not be so discouraged. After all, they also have nearly three thousand cavalry troops, which can withstand for a while. But the 3,000 infantry in front of him were also all wearing armor, with a strict queue, with pikemen in front, crossbowmen in the middle, and Pu Dao in the back, with a murderous aura, which directly shocked the 50,000 troops of Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan into speechlessness.

What made Liu Zhang and the others even more disheartened was the five hundred heavily armored infantry, even their heads and feet were covered by foot armor, holding long knives and heavy axes, standing at the front, like five hundred humanoid iron armor that could move.

The two didn't expect that in a short period of time, the Protector Army actually completed the change of clothes, glanced at each other, and read the meaning of not being an enemy from each other's eyes.

Yue Fei stood at the front of the military formation, looking at Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan coldly, without speaking or attacking. Originally, Zhang Xian suggested that after leaving the city, he immediately launched a cavalry assault and defeated Liu Zhang's second ** army in one fell swoop. But Yue Fei did not take Zhang Xian's suggestion.

Because he had already read the panic and helplessness from Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan's faces, since the generals did not have the courage to fight, no matter how many soldiers there were, they were not afraid. If the cavalry really assaulted, it would definitely be able to quickly defeat Liu Zhang's army, but the Protector Cavalry would definitely have casualties. In addition, the other side also has more than 2,000 cavalry troops, if it is really entangled without fear of death, the casualties of the Protector Army will be numerous.

No matter what era of war, it is always the heart first. Yue Fei saw that Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan had not made a decision for a long time, and decided to put some pressure on the two of them, so he slowly raised the iron spear in his hand, as if he was about to issue an order for an assault.

Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan couldn't make up their minds to surrender, but when they saw Yue Fei's spear raised, as long as they pointed forward, it would be too late to shout surrender. Thinking of this, Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan shouted almost in unison, "General Yue, move slowly, we are willing to surrender." ”

Yue Fei let out a long breath, and finally forced the two bastards down without moving.

Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan were too panicked and surrendered too eagerly, and they didn't even have time to talk about the conditions. So when they came to Yue Feima, the two of them were still a little worried, for fear that Yue Fei would turn his face and be ruthless, and directly correct them on the spot.

According to Yue Fei's psychology, of course, he wanted to behead all these people to show to the public in order to atone for their sin of disturbing Xuzhou. But his current identity is a general, but he is not a ranger, and he can think about it if he wants to be happy, but he can't do it.

If he kills Liu Fu, Zhang Yuan and others today, the Protector Army will never want to force the enemy army to surrender in the future. For in this world, what army has not plagued the people?

Therefore, Yue Fei could only suppress his disgust for Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan in his heart, and seemed to be happily stepping forward, helping Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan, who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "The two generals, please get up quickly." Our people's army does not kneel and salute. If it weren't for the two generals who abandoned the darkness in time and turned to the light today, there would definitely be a river of blood flowing outside Fengxian County today. ”

The two of them confessed one after another, claiming that they were in chaos and couldn't help it, and it was Zhu Xingzai who was doing ghosts with Zhu You's brothers. Yue Fei didn't break their lies, but just smiled and comforted them, making it clear that he was not to blame for the past.

In order to add points to Yue Fei's heart, after Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan surrendered, he immediately suggested that Yue Fei's army go to Xuzhou and volunteered to be the vanguard of the army. Liu Fu said even more eagerly, "Yue Tuan Lian, Zhu Xing is extremely cunning here, I estimate that he sent us to meet the enemy, and he must have made plans to escape." A few days ago I heard that he was going to cross the river to join Liu Guangshi, and if we go late, I am afraid he will abandon the city. ”

Yue Fei knew too well the psychology of these chaotic troops. If they have been stationed in Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou may not be too miserable, once they are ready to give up Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will really be unlucky. Burning, killing and looting are the four mantras of all rebel armies when they evacuate the city.

So Yue Fei ordered Zhang Xian to take over these surrendered troops in Feng County, screen their identities one by one, and appease the local villagers. Then he personally led 5,000 cavalry troops and quickly rushed to Xuzhou City. The reason why the 5,000 cavalry army became the 5,000 cavalry army was because Yue Fei incorporated the 2,000 cavalry army of Liu and Zhang into the Protector Cavalry.

Liu Fu's more than 1,000 cavalry troops were also returned. Zhang Yuan's cavalry army is all horse thieves who follow the golden sword Wang Shan across the Song-Liao border, and their riding skills are exquisite, as long as they are trained a little, they are very powerful troops.

Of course, Yue Fei would not have such a good source of soldiers. Seeing that the day of autumn has arrived, the Jin ** army is about to go south. Yue Fei now only thinks that he has too few cavalry. Although there are more than 5,000 cavalry on the surface, there are not even 1,000 cavalry troops that can really compete with the Jinren.

The reason why he attacked Zhu Xingzai this time and pulled out 3,000 cavalry troops at once was actually to train these cavalry troops in their ability to run long distances. These 3,000 cavalry soldiers are not Xiangzhou veterans, but newly recruited cavalry soldiers for a while.

More than 200 miles from Dangshan to Xuzhou, the 5,000 cavalry of the Protector Army rushed to the city of Xuzhou in only two and a half days. At this time, Zhu Xingzai had just knocked out the bones of the rich people in Xuzhou City, and the carts of gold, silver and jewelry were loaded with more than a dozen carts.

Zhu Xingzai was wearing bright silver chain mail, but he was covered with the robe of the prefect of Xuzhou, sitting in the lobby of Xuzhou Mansion, proudly humming folk songs from the northwest region. He was thinking in his heart how to distribute these gold, silver and jewelry, how much he would give to Liu Guangshi, how much to give to Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, and then how much he would keep. As soon as he had calculated it clearly in his heart, Zhu You ran in angrily and said breathlessly, "Big brother, Yue Fei led his troops to the city. ”

"What's the situation!" Zhu Xingzai jumped up from his chair all of a sudden. "Even if Liu Fu and Zhang Yuan are pigs, they can't be so unbeaten. After all, they led an army of 50,000. ”

Zhu You said with a bitter face, "Big brother, the two of them are not pigs, we are pigs." They surrendered to Yue Fei's house, and they were also calling for battle outside the city at this moment. ”

Zhu Xingzai scolded, "Two bastards, see if I don't kill them." Let my soldiers bring me my great bow. "It turns out that this Zhu Xing has a good archery technique. Also known as the archer in the Western Army. What's more, even Liu Fu didn't know that his heavy bow could shoot two hundred steps away.

Yue Fei led the cavalry army to the city of Xuzhou, and when he saw the moat that was several zhang wide and the city wall that was several zhang high, he couldn't help but have a little headache. Such a strong city in the world, if the people in the city swear not to surrender, even if there are 100,000 troops, they may not be able to defeat it. I'm a little too big. Although Zhu Xing and Zhu You surrounded the city, if they refused to open the city to meet them and refused to surrender, it would not be easy for Xuzhou City to be taken.

At this time, two big men wearing bright silver chain mail appeared on the high city wall, which were Zhu Xingzai, the commander of the Western Army, and Zhu You, the leader of the horse thieves. Zhu Xingzai looked angry, pointed his finger at Liu Fu, who was standing under the city, and scolded, "The dog thief who is greedy for life and afraid of death, does he also have the face to see me?" ”

Liu Fu was eager to make meritorious contributions and was eager to show himself in front of Yue Fei. Le Ma walked to the front of the formation, also pointed at Zhu Xingzai with his finger, and scolded loudly, "The dog thief surnamed Zhu, what are you?" also has the face to scold your grandfather and me. Today, Yue Tuanlian led the heavenly army here, and those who knew each other should quickly open the door and surrender. Otherwise, I will go into the city and make sure that your brothers will be chopped up and fed to the dogs. ”

Ji Qian Lema walked up to Yue Fei and said in a low voice, "Brother Yue, this is really a dog-eat-dog." ”

Yue Fei glanced at Ji Qian and asked him not to talk too much. However, Liu Fu in front of the battle was scolding more and more, and the words in his mouth became more and more dirty, it seems that this kid is going to learn Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, and he is ready to scold Zhu Xing.

Zhu Xingzai suddenly picked up a big bow and shouted, "Death to the dog thief!" A black light fell from the city, hitting the door of Liu Fumian. Liu Fu's scolding stopped abruptly, turned over and fell under the horse.

This was beyond Yue Fei's expectations. Because Liu Fu was more than a hundred steps away from the head of the city, ordinary bows and arrows couldn't shoot so far. This is also the reason why Liu Fu dared to scold Zhu Xing in the city. He didn't expect that Zhu Xingzai would have a magic arrow. So he died.

Zhu Xing succeeded in an arrow, and he didn't give up, followed by another arrow. This time, he was aiming at Yue Fei. Seeing a black light approaching Yue Fei's eyes. The big gun in Yue Fei's hand swung like a dragon, sending the long arrow flying.

Zhu Xing shouted, "Good kung fu." Eat me one more arrow. The big bow in his hand had just been opened, but he saw a red-faced man rushing out of the Protector Army, who was also holding a surprisingly large bow in his hand, and shouted to Zhu Xing, "The surname is Zhu, and don't be arrogant, let me Zhao Hong meet you for a while." ”

The big bow in his hand was rounded, and three arrows were shot like lightning.

The first arrow hit Zhu Xing in the forehead, and Zhu Xing screamed miserably, planted from the high city wall, and directly fell on the head and blossomed. The second arrow hit Zhu You in the throat, and Zhu You was also killed on the spot. The third arrow was aimed at the banner on the city tower, and one arrow actually shot through the banner of Zhuzi.

Zhao Hong shouted sharply, "Zhu Xingzai Zhu You is dead, why don't the armies in the city surrender early?" ”

Zhao Hong's three arrows can be said to be three earth-shattering arrows, two arrows killed the main general in the city, and one arrow broke the flag, directly shooting the confidence of the defenders at the head of the city to the outside of the clouds. The defenders at the head of the city looked at the body of Erzhu who fell under the city wall, and were stunned for a while, and suddenly there was a chaos. After a short while, the high suspension bridge was rolled down, and the city gate slowly opened. Hundreds of defenders laid down their weapons and knelt on either side of the gates.

Ji Qian took the lead and led hundreds of cavalry troops to rush into the city gate. When he found that there was no ambush in the city, he sent a signal to Yue Fei, and the five thousand cavalry troops immediately poured into Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou City was broken so quickly, even Yue Fei didn't expect it. So when Yue Fei entered the city, he patted Zhao Hong's shoulder with his hand and said, "Brother, you are the first to take Xuzhou City today." When I was in Tangyin, I still wanted to compete with you in archery, but when I looked at it today, fortunately I didn't compete with you in archery, otherwise I would have died ugly. ”

Zhao Hong's red face suddenly turned even redder. But he didn't give in. Because Yue Fei is right, Yue Fei is the first shot in Xiangzhou, and he is the first arrow in Xiangzhou.

After the Protector Army entered Xuzhou City, they quickly controlled the streets, and the rebels who took advantage of the fire to loot were killed on the spot. The reputation of the Protector Army has long spread to Xuzhou. At that time, the elders of Xuzhou still didn't believe it, but when they saw that the protector army who entered the city did not commit any crimes, they immediately believed the rumors. Especially those who had a little assets at home, they all dared to go out of the house and complain to Yue Fei about Zhu Xing's crimes in the army. You must know that in just a few days, hundreds of gentry in Xuzhou were tortured to death. The family property was also confiscated by Zhu Xingzai.

When Yue Fei told the Xuzhou gentry, "Zhu Xingzai Zhuyou has been shot by Zhao Hong, the head of the Protector Army", these gentry immediately cheered. Fortunately, Xuzhou finally ushered in a savior and brought these rebels worse than bandits under control.

But what Yue Fei didn't expect was that early the next morning, another wave of troops came to Xuzhou City. This army is not Zhang Xian's department, but the elite western army sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits. The leader of the generals is in black armor and black armor, riding on a tall black horse, holding a black and heavy sword, like a murderous black killing god.

In front of the formation, the tooth flag was written with the word Dou Da, but it was Zhang Tie, the first fierce general under Zhang Jun, who arrived.
