Yue Fei would never pin his victory on others, although he sent Xiao Shan and Luo Yanqing out, preparing to form a cavalry army that could shoot against the Jin soldiers, he did not expect to use them against Zong Bi.

This time, Yue Fei prepared to use 20,000 infantry to fight against Zong Bi's iron cavalry. Riding with foot has been there since ancient times, and there are all kinds of them, which are nothing more than strict formations, powerful crossbows, and fierce sword and shield hands that are not afraid of death, so as to offset the powerful impact of the cavalry. If the infantry occupies favorable terrain, it can even completely annihilate the cavalry. During the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong was a fine cavalry rampant in the grassland, but in the battle of the boundary bridge, he was completely submerged under Yuan Shao's 3,000 strong crossbowmen, and since then he has been in a slump and defeated to death.

However, Gongsun Zhan's sacrifice also reminded the later cavalry not to force an attack on an infantry team with powerful crossbowmen, especially if the opponent was in a tight formation. Yue Fei knew that although Zong Bi's personality was as rough as fire, he was not lacking in resourcefulness, otherwise he would not have had the last laugh in the power struggle of the Jin Kingdom.

However, Yue Fei still believed that even if Zong Bi's IQ was ten times higher, if the 20,000 Protector Army abandoned the camp and fled under his nose, he would definitely chase after him. Because the 100,000 infantry who had lost their formation and queue could not even resist the onslaught of 5,000 iron cavalry.

On the eighth day of the confrontation between the two sides, Yue Fei convened a meeting of officers above the head of the whole army to deploy the strategy of the Star Scattering Array. "Brothers, we have been confronting the Golden Dog for seven or eight days, and now the Golden Dog has become irritable, and our army can take advantage of the situation to induce the whole Golden Dog to attack and fight with the Golden Dog. We can't wait any longer. The golden dog can afford to wait, but we can't afford to wait. Now that Tianfu is under attack on all sides, we must use the momentum of thunder to defeat the Eastern Route Army. Jin Chieftain Wanyan Zongbi seems rude, but in fact he is extremely resourceful. If we want him to be fooled, our army must make a rout. Now I'm going to start laying out the tactics. Once the battle began, Zhao Hong and Jiao Wentong each led 5,000 cavalry troops and spread out to the left and right flanks, not too far, not more than five miles away from the infantry army. I will lead 20,000 infantry to meet Zongbi's heavy cavalry. The formation of the infantry was as follows: fifteen people in a small circle formation, and one hundred and fifty people in a small star formation. Fifteen hundred people are a large star array. Each small circle has five hook and sickle gunners, three shield bearers, two strong crossbowmen, four long knife players, one thrower, and ten thunderbolts. The distance between the small formations should not exceed five zhang. The distance between each star array should not exceed ten zhang. The distance between the big star arrays should not exceed 30 zhang. Brothers, if this battle is won, the heavens will be safe, and our parents, brothers and sisters will be perfect. If this battle is lost, it will become a place of four battles, and then the family will be destroyed and the army will be destroyed, and there is nothing to say. Yue hoped that the military would take their lives, with fearless fighting spirit and the military spirit of victory, to break the sect on the plains and wilderness. ”

Xin Zan listened to Yue Fei's finish about the formation of the infantry, and said with a little doubt, "Yue Shuai, the last general thinks that this formation is too risky. The advantage of the infantry lies in strict order, and the advantage of the cavalry lies in galloping. If our army confronts the enemy in this formation, it will be completely based on the shortcomings of our army and the strength of the golden dogs. Losses are numerous, and victory or defeat is unknown. I don't know where Yue Shuai's formation comes from? ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "It's not a secret, this kind of formation is something I figured out, it's called the Star Scattering Array. With the scattered but chaotic trend of the galaxy, the air of breaking the iron ride is criss-crossed. Xin Lao was right. The stakes are enormous. However, I believe that with the courage of our people's protectors and the power of thunder, the odds of victory are very high. ”

"In that case," Upon hearing that this formation was created by Yue Fei himself, and had not yet been verified by actual combat, Master Zhihun immediately said angrily, "Yue Shuai, then let me command the infantry to entangle with the golden dog." Yue Shuai was seriously injured and had just recovered, so it was not appropriate to use a knife. What's more," Master Zhihun paused for a moment, and suddenly said in an aggravated tone, "Since Yue Shuai knows the danger of Yingtian, he should understand that the safety of millions of people in Yingtian Xuzhou is all related to Yue Shuai, and he can no longer be like an ordinary general, taking the lead and dying lightly." ”

After Master Zhihun finished saying this, he looked at Yue Fei with blazing eyes, hoping that Yue Fei would be able to dispel the idea of being a bait. Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, swept the hundreds of heads in the military tent with his eyes, and saw that the young faces were full of sharp spirit that did not admit defeat, and immediately smiled and said, "Master Zhihun don't persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." My Yue Fei's life is not worth more than my brothers. ”

Ji Qian said with a big grin, "Master Zhihun don't worry. You should also know that Brother Yue never fights uncertain battles. Although there are many golden dogs, I think they will still fall in our star-scattering array. ”

"Not bad!" Jiao Wentong raised his arms and shouted, "Master Zhihun can be relieved, as long as there is a soldier in the Protector Army who does not die, Yue Shuai will be safe and sound." ”

Hundreds of leaders are also full of fighting spirit. If Yue Fei agreed to Zhihun to mention yì, hundreds of capitals would also think that Yue Fei had done the right thing, and would not have the mind of passively responding to the battle. However, Yue Fei decided to fight side by side with the capitalists, so that hundreds of capitalists had the idea of dying as a confidant.

Zhihun and Xin Zan glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads helplessly. There are very few old people in the Protector Army, so they are extremely sharp, but it is precisely because there are very few old people that the Protector Army always fights some risky battles.

Xin Zan smiled and said, "Master Zhihun , isn't the reason why we defected to Yue Shuai precisely because we took a fancy to Yue Shuai?" If Yue Shuai is as witty as King Zhao Gou, I'm afraid the two of us won't come to Ying Tianfu. ”

When the generals had finished their deliberations, they immediately returned to their respective camps. Each of the capitals summoned all their soldiers and spoke about the importance of keeping their distance during the withdrawal. This is the most critical point of the Star Scattering Array, if the small Star Array can't resist the pressure of the Iron Cavalry and scatters and flees, it will not be the Star Scattering Array, but the collapse of the Array.

When the whole army knew the news of the imminent withdrawal, Zong Bi also received the news. This is also one of the reasons why Zong Bi saw Ran Qing's fireworks, and then saw the Protector Army out of the camp, and immediately launched an all-army attack. He thought that Yue Fei must have received the news that his baggage had been robbed, so he was in such a hurry to withdraw to Yucheng.

Although Jiagutu took away 5,000 cavalry, Zong Bi still had 22,000 cavalry. Zong Bi believed that on the plains and wilderness of Yingtian, no matter what tricks Yue Fei used, under the impact of 20,000 iron horsemen, there would only be the fate of the entire army. The thirty-mile plain between Taohuapu and Yucheng County will be sprinkled with the blood of the Protector Army.

The Jurchen cavalry is a division of a hundred battles, and when they are about to fight, they mostly sleep in their clothes, and when they hear the sound of the drums, they immediately jump out of the camp. In just half an hour, more than 20,000 gold troops were ready to go. Zong Bi thought for a while, and left Ali, the head of a thousand households, with 2,000 gold troops and asked him to guard the camp. Then he led 20,000 gold horsemen and chased after him vigorously.

Zong Bi used his troops boldly, but he was cautious. He knew that Yue Fei still had more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, even though those cavalry troops were all five miles away, Zong Bi still did not dare to be careless, and sent 3,000 cavalry troops to Charal and Salishi, and roamed on the two wings of the Protector Army, which could not only shoot the Protector Army with arrows, but also stop the return rifles of the Protector cavalry.

Seeing Charal and Sali Shi leaving with their troops, Zong Bi looked at the chaotic Protector Infantry a mile away with wolf-like eyes, it seems that these Protector Army seems to want to regroup into a formation again, hmph, in front of my Zong Bi, do you still want to regroup into formation?

Zong Bi finally nailed his gaze to the Yuezi banner in the center of the infantry, and said coldly, "Sons, in today's battle, those who advance will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed." You look at my banner, and wherever my banner goes, you will kill it. Now I declare that whoever kills the head of the Protector Army will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the elder of the Protector Legion will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and the elder of the Protector Army Division will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. Those who kill Han Changji, Qian, Wang Gang, and Jiao Wentong will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. There are those who can kill Yue Fei, reward 100,000 taels of gold, seal 10,000 households, and hereditary replacement. ”

After saying this, Zong Bi paused for a moment, letting the generals digest some huge rewards. Whether it is 100,000 taels of gold, or 10,000 hereditary households, it is enough to make these golden soldiers become crazy. Seeing that all the generals around him were flushed and began to gasp for breath, Zong Bi finally slashed the mountain axe in his hand forward, "Attack!" ”

"Sons, it's time to get promoted and get rich." One by one, thousands of households raised their sabers and gave orders.

"The fourth prince said, kill Yue Fei, reward 100,000 taels of gold, seal 10,000 households, hereditary replacement." Zong Bi's pro-army, which has not attacked for the time being, has a hundred specially selected loud voices, and they are shouting at the top of their voices.

"Oh my God! With so much money, as long as Lao Tzu gets a little, he will also make a fortune. Drag the tiger, rush, our two can kill Yue Fei today, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for future generations. ”

Twenty thousand robbers from the bitter cold land stared at the crimson eyes, raised their murderous blades, urged their horses to dismount their hips, and rushed towards the infantry with a team of 100 people very quickly.

The cavalry of these Jin troops is indeed not covered, and the nine thousand cavalry launched a full-scale attack on the front two or three miles long, trying to wipe out the Protector Army in one fell swoop.

"Whoosh!"

The first to strike is still the crossbowman. In the face of the menacing Jin soldiers, the small formations of the Protector Army quickly came to a standstill. Crossbowmen in small formations fired at the incoming golden soldiers with powerful infantry crossbows.

Although the infantry crossbow was powerful, because it was not assembled in a column, it could not stop the hooves of the golden soldiers, and after shooting hundreds of golden soldiers, the golden soldiers' riding bows also began to exert their might.

In the face of bows and arrows falling from the sky, the infantry of the protectors covered their heads and faces with their arms, and used the chain mail on their bodies to resist the damage of the bows and arrows. Some unfortunate people fell to the ground, but many more survived.

The Jin soldiers did not expect to use bows and arrows to defeat the Protector Army. Compared with the Mongol army, which favored the use of bows and arrows in later generations, the Jin soldiers believed in their maces and sabers.

A smile appeared on Wanyan Zongbi's face. For his piercing eyes had seen that his cavalry was only ten paces away from the Protectors. Since Yue Fei has not come up with a way to block the cavalry charge until now, it means that the Protector Army really withdrew in a hurry this time. In this case, a big victory can be expected.

Zong Bi glanced back at the five thousand kidnappers behind him, and said secretly, "Sons, don't worry, even if Yue Nanman is a general of the defeated army, he still can't be taken lightly. Wait until the sons and daughters in front of you have completely penetrated the Protector infantry before I will lead you to the final word. 100,000 taels of gold, I still hope to fall into my own pocket. ”

Zong Bi was dreaming here, Yue Fei, who was standing in the center of the military formation, suddenly waved his hand, one flag after another waved, the war drums sounded fiercely, and the static star scattering array suddenly moved rapidly.
