Of course, with the Luo Tian family alone, they will definitely not be able to eliminate Yelu Ma Wu. You must know that there are still 7,000 Jurchen soldiers under the city of Xiangzhou, plus the traitor servant army, there are more than 10,000 people.

Although the combat effectiveness of the traitor servant army can be ignored, because they almost don't even have weapons, they are just pulled by the golden soldiers as coolies to be cannon fodder. But the thousands of displaced people who took refuge in Yue Fei also need to be ignored. The real combat power is nothing more than 400 Beiwei troops, plus 2,000 families from the Luo Tian family. If you really want to force Yelu Ma Wu to a corner, the seven thousand second-rate Jurchen soldiers will fight back with all their might, and they can definitely destroy Yue Fei and the others.

Therefore, although Luo Yanqing asked for battle on the day he joined the Protector Army, Yue Fei only ordered him and Ji Qian to lead the Beiwei Army to block the gate of the Jin military camp, but they were not allowed to attack without authorization. Because Yue Fei was waiting for other reinforcements.

On the first night of the arrival of Pucha Shijianu's reinforcements in Chaoge Town, Zhao Hong's cavalry division and Yue Heng's scout battalion also rushed to the city of Xiangzhou. The Protector Army had a total of 5,000 cavalry, and this time Zhao Hong actually brought 3,000 in one go. Although these cavalry troops did not have the elite of the Wei Army, they would not suffer too much against the ordinary Jurchen cavalry. But Yue Fei had no intention of fighting hard with Jin Bing. If under the city of Xiangzhou, if you fight with these second-rate mature women, then how can you deal with the Jurchen elite composed of Jurchen who are about to go south?

The reason why Yue Fei had been waiting for Zhao Hong and Yue Heng was because when they came from Caozhou, they brought over a thousand thunderbolts that were placed in Wang Gui's army. These thunderbolts are all made by the military genius Zhang Baoer. Although it is not as powerful as the grenades of later generations, it is much more powerful than the previous ones. If this thing is suddenly used in the decisive battle with Yelu Ma Wu, it will definitely surprise Jin Bing.

Although Jin Bing had seen the thunderbolt made by the imperial court, the thunderbolt with various poisons was not so much a firearm as a strange seasoning. Whether it is the sound and light effect, or the actual power, it is far from the thunder of the Protector Army.

As soon as Zhao Hong saw Yue Fei, he immediately laughed and said, "Commander Yue, my old Zhao came here day and night, just for fear of missing a big event." Master Zhihun said that we came in time, and we will definitely be able to save Xiangzhou before the arrival of the Golden Dog reinforcements. Yue Heng and I weren't late, were we? ”

Yue Fei patted Zhao Hong on the shoulder, "I've never worried that your Zhao Hong's march will delay the military plane." In our Protector Army, you are known as a divine general. ”

It turned out that Zhao Hong was the most anxious to march. The cavalry army under his command once ran 150 miles in one day in the process of attacking Chenzhou. Got the nickname of the god general. Of course, that time he captured Chenzhou, but he didn't give Zhao Hong credit, because Zhao Hong injured more than 300 horses in one day, which made Yue Fei feel terrible.

Zhao Hong saw Yue Fei mention that nickname, and hurriedly clarified, "Captain Yue, I saved my horsepower this time." From Caozhou to here, only a few dozen horses were lost. ”

This time, Yue Fei comforted Zhao Hong. "General Zhao don't worry. This time, you have injured hundreds of horses, and you have no fault. You must know that there are nearly 10,000 war horses waiting for us to receive them in the camp of the Jin Army. Although it is not a first-class war horse, it is still a little stronger than our horses. ”

"Really?" Zhao Hong's eyes immediately turned green. Zhao Hong's dream is to command tens of thousands of cavalry and golden dogs to fight a decisive battle on the plain. He knew very well that although he was only the deputy commander of the cavalry division, Ji Qian liked to follow Yue Fei, and was basically Yue Fei's personal guard captain, and the cavalry division was mainly commanded by himself. If the Jin Army is destroyed this time and nearly 10,000 war horses are received, it is estimated that the cavalry of the Protector Army can break 10,000. This made Zhao Hong feel both excited and frightened.

"Of course it's true." Yue Fei saw that Zhao Hong was eager to try, and immediately said, "Tonight, Xiangzhou City will launch a counterattack. Zhao Butry Lord Zhao is not a person who sits in the city of sorrow, he is very courageous. ”

Zhao Hong asked suspiciously, "How did Commander Yue communicate the news with Governor Zhao?" Didn't you enter Xiangzhou City? ”

Yue Fei pointed at Tian Mancang Luo Yanqing with his finger and introduced Zhao Hong Yue Heng, "This is Luo Yanqing, the fierce general of the Luo family in Xiangzhou, and the Luo brothers really have the courage to be unstoppable. This is Tian Mancang, the head of the Tian family in Xiangzhou, and the matter of communicating news with the prefect of Zhao is all done by the head of the Tian family. ”

When the bearded Zhao Hong heard that the chubby middle-aged man in front of him was Tian Mancang, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "It turns out to be General Luo, the head of the Tian family." The two of you have admired Zhao Hong for a long time. When I was an archer in Tangyin County, I once caught a group of thieves who stole the Tian family. It's just that it was the master of our county who went to the Tian family to make contributions, and I was not fortunate enough to enter the Tian family. ”

Tian Mancang heard that Zhao Hong's words were a little prickly, and immediately smiled his round face into a flower. "To tell the truth, the master in the county did not mention General Zhao's name that time. buried General Zhao's great achievements. But now that I, Tian Mancang, know, there will definitely be a heavy reward. The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. The master of Tangyin County has long been turned to ashes, but General Zhao has stood out and become the leader of thousands of cavalry troops, which is gratifying. ”

Tian Mancang's little fart slapped Zhao Hong with a big grin. Tian Mancang was extremely discerning, he saw that Zhao Hong was actually in charge of Yue Fei's cavalry, and immediately knew that Zhao Hong was extremely trusted by Yue Fei, and he must be extremely capable. After all, the cavalry is a treasure, and Yue Fei will never hand over his cavalry to a person with low ability.

After several people got to know each other, Tian Mancang told Zhao Hong that because the Tian family was in the smuggling business, they already had their own set of code words. After he joined the Protector Army, he began to contact the children of the Tian family in the city. There are also many children of the Tian family who are trapped in Xiangzhou City, and when they see their own secret words, they are immediately overjoyed. After telling Zhao Butry about Yue Fei's plan, Zhao Butry immediately asked the children of the Tian family to tell Yue Fei, "Don't say that it is a feint attack by the Xiangzhou army, it is a real attack, and the Xiangzhou army is by no means ambiguous." General Yue came to save Xiangzhou with great benevolence and righteousness, how could I, Zhao, not do my part. ”

For the past few days, Jerumawu has been watching the movement outside the camp from the corner tower in the camp. Seeing Luo Yanqing and Tian Mancang's reinforcements, the corners of Yelu Mawu's mouth tightened, pointing to the flags of the Luo Tian family fluttering, and said to his subordinate generals, "Xiangzhou Luo family, Xiangzhou Tian family, these two are the grass on the wall that turns the rudder when the wind blows, and I will destroy them." ”

The subordinate general Zuo Weiwei continued to speak, but there was a contempt in his eyes that could not be concealed. Yelu Ma Wu couldn't see it, he sighed, and said to his own general, "Don't think that I am afraid of Yue Fei's hundreds of cavalry. But the task given to us by Generalissimo Zonghan was to capture Xiangzhou. Zhao Butry Lao'er is extremely stubborn, if we send out all our strength to attack Yue Fei, in case Zhao Butry Lao'er suddenly opens the city to counterattack and attack from both sides, our army will not suffer. Now don't look at Yue Fei's increasing number of people, these homeless people will become a burden to him. As soon as General Pucha of Weizhou arrives, we will immediately counterattack, and by that time, Yue Fei will be captured by our army! ”

Although his generals were not satisfied with Yelu Mawu's words. They feel that the battle has been too much for the past few days. But Yelu Ma Wuyi mentioned Zong Han's name again, and these generals suddenly understood the helplessness of the main general. To put it bluntly, although Yelu Mawu was the first Liao general to defect to the Jin State, over the years, he has also become the head of ten thousand households with his military exploits. But in the eyes of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Mawu is still a mongrel dog that jumped into the wolf's den, and he cannot be trusted by the nobles of the Jin Kingdom at all.

Yelu Ma and the five Gaoqing descendants are both 10,000 households, and as a result, they can only lead an incomplete 10,000 households composed of 8,000 Bohai Han'er and Xi people. It looks like a Jurchen person, but in fact, there are only more than 500 mature Jurchens. Just imagine, if there were 2,000 mature women in this army, would the combat power be so low? He had already gone out of the camp and destroyed Yue Fei!

The reason why Yelu Ma Wu didn't fight was half because he was killed by Yue Fei, and half because of Zong Han's order. He didn't dare to loosen the encirclement of Xiangzhou in order to eliminate Yue Fei. In that case, even if he cut off Yue Fei's head, in front of Zong Han, it would be a dead word.

Now that you've made a shrunken turtle, let's do it to the end. Anyway, the reinforcements of Pucha Shijianu are also coming soon. Although Yue Fei's military camp has expanded a lot, his combat power has dropped significantly. Once the Jin soldiers counterattacked, those wandering outcasts would make the Beiwei army unable to exert their power.

However, what made Yeluma five headaches was that the flags on the city's head had become bells and whistles in the past few days, and the five-color flags were swaying up and down, swaying left and right. And there are also five-color flags dangling in Yue Fei's camp. Jerematwu didn't understand what it meant, but he guessed it was a code word.

When Yelu Ma Wu saw the three thousand cavalry led by Zhao Hong and Yue Heng on the corner tower, his face suddenly changed. He was an old man, and although he had only seen it from afar, the new reinforcements were clearly elite troops. This Yue Fei is just a nameless junior, how could there be so many cavalry troops. Since Yue Fei has found so many reinforcements, it seems that he is going to attack the Jin Soldier Camp.

Yelu Ma Wu was vigilant in his heart, and secretly ordered the defenders next to the camp wall to step up their vigilance, and all the strong bows and crossbows were ready, as long as the Song army entered the range of bows and arrows, they did not need to ask for instructions, and directly counterattacked.

But to Yelu Mawu's surprise, it was not Yue Fei who was the first to counterattack, but Zhao Buqian in Xiangzhou City.

That night, the east gate of Xiangzhou was suddenly brightly lit, and the city was full of war drums and people. Yelu Ma Wu immediately ordered his lieutenant Wang Bailong to lead a thousand elite soldiers, prepare strong bows and crossbows, and block them outside the east gate. Just wait for Zhao Bu to try to put down the drawbridge and open the city gate.

Yelu Ma said viciously, "Zhao Buzhu, this useless scholar, even dares to despise my Jurchen Iron Horse." General Wang, as long as Zhao doesn't dare to open the city gate, you will lead a thousand elite cavalry into the city, and when the time comes, you will be plundered and do whatever you want. ”

When Wang Bailong heard this order, he was immediately overjoyed. Xiangzhou is an important town in the Song Dynasty, as long as you can enter the city to grab a few big households, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life. So he led his men and horses, didn't even light the torches, just stayed quietly under the moonlight, waiting for Zhao Bu to open the city gate.

But to the disappointment of Yelu Mawu and Wang Bailong, the war drums of Xiangzhou City beat for one night, and Wang Bailong's 1,000 elite soldiers were so sleepy that they were about to fall asleep on their horses, and there was no sign of the gate of Xiangzhou City opening.

In fact, in the middle of the night, Yelu Ma Wu understood that this was Zhao Butry's tired plan. But the great thing about the tired tactic is that you can't tell if the opponent is really just tired or will go out of the city to fight back. Therefore, Yelu Ma Wu did not dare to withdraw Wang Bailong's elite soldiers. Looking at the stars in the sky, Yelu Ma Wu suddenly had a strange feeling, maybe this was the last time he looked up at the night sky. The tired soldiers of Xiangzhou City were clearly making fighters for Yue Fei's army outside the city. Tomorrow, there will definitely be a bloody battle. It's just that I don't know if General Pucha will be able to get to the city in time?
