Zhang Jun has a total of two generals, one is Liu Bao, who is good at using big swords. One is Zhang Iron Hammer, reckless and bold, a pair of iron hammers in his hand weighs about 60 catties, and he is called 10,000 enemies. has always acted as Zhang Jun's pioneer officer.

Since leaving Jiankang, Zhang Junba and Zhang Tiehammer 3,000 horse troops, day and night, rushed to Xuzhou. At this time, Zhang Tiezhu didn't know that Zhu Xing was dead in Liu Fu, so he held the hammer in his hand, looked at Yue Fei and others standing at the head of the city, and spoke wildly. "Zhu Xingzai, your grandfather Zhang is here. Don't hurry down and die. Open the city early, you can still save your dog's life, if not, wait for me to kill into the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”

Yue Fei arched his hand at the head of the city and said, "This general is invited, I don't know the name of Gao?" By the way, tell the general that Zhu Xing had been shot by our army yesterday. ”

Zhang Tiehammer was a little surprised when he heard that Zhu Xing was dead, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looked at the soldiers at the head of the city a few times, and then said with a grin, "I am Zhang Tiehammer, the vanguard officer under Zhang Jun's account, the former commander of the imperial camp, and I came to quell the chaos by order." Since Zhu Xingzai is already dead in Liu Fu, why don't you open the door quickly to welcome our army into the city. By the way, who are you? ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "In Xia Yue Fei, he came to quell the chaos at the request of the Tianfu Protector Legion and the elders of Xuzhou. ”

Zhang Tiezhu shouted, "It turns out that you are Yue Fei." Now I don't have to go to Yingtian to find you. ”

Yue Fei asked strangely, "General Zhang, could it be that he has something to look for me?" ”

Zhang Tiehammer touched the hammer in his hand, made a bang, and then laughed loudly, "It's not me looking for you, it's the hammer in my hand looking for you." Yue Fei, the general of my family received two orders this time, first to destroy Zhu Xing, and then to protect the people's army. If you're interested, let's surrender in Kaesong. Maybe the emperor will be merciful and spare your life. ”

Yue Fei's heart sank, and he immediately understood that his actions in Yingtian had spread to Jiankang Mansion, which seemed to have aroused Zhao Gou's suspicions. Zhao Gou would rather lose the Central Plains than have someone rise in the Central Plains. As the saying goes, I would rather be with friends than with house slaves. However, Zhao Gou was too trusted, and he sent Zhang Jun who had no choice but to come.

Thinking of Zhang Jun, Yue Fei felt a wave of anger in his heart for no reason. According to Yue Xiaofei's memory, the murderer who killed him was Zhang Jun. At this moment, seeing Zhang Tiehammer showing off his might under the city, Yue Fei decided to give Zhang Jun a dismount first, and eat his 3,000 vanguard army first.

Guarding the head of the city with Yue Fei were a few gentry of the city, who were afraid that Yue Fei would really open the city and surrender, so they hurriedly dissuaded, "Yue Tuan is a training envoy, don't open the door." Zhang Jun has always plucked the feathers of geese and is extremely greedy. I, the people of Xuzhou, were looted by Zhu Xing, and I really couldn't stand the helplessness to exploit again. ”

These gentry all survived the torture of Zhu You with great difficulty. Yue Fei saved their lives, making them grateful. But what made them even more grateful was that Yue Fei did not take the dozen or so carts of gold, silver and jewelry that Zhu Xing was collecting as own. Instead, according to the booklet of the congruent friends, all the gold, silver and jewelry were returned to the gentry.

With this move alone, Yue Fei won the hearts of the people of Xuzhou. In addition, the military discipline of the Protector Army is strict, and after entering the city, it will not offend the people. More than a dozen family heads discussed overnight and decided to hand over Xuzhou to the jurisdiction of the Protector Army.

It's just that before he could tell Yue Fei, Zhang Tiehammer's army came to the city. So they hurriedly dissuaded Yue Fei and never opened the city to surrender.

Yue Fei looked at several family heads and asked with a smile, "Shi family master, Wang family master, Zhang Jun is here by order." If I don't surrender, Xuzhou will become a rebellious city, and once Zhang Jun breaks through Xuzhou, you will suffer. ”

The Shi family in Xuzhou is a big salt merchant with rich family assets, and he also has a little friendship with Li Bashao. At this moment, seeing Yue Fei's tentative words, he hurriedly said, "Yue Tuan Lian, even if we surrender now, we can't escape the helpless looting." As for the Divine Decree, we have not seen it. A year ago, Huizong fled to Huaibei for refuge, but was kicked out by the people of Huaibei. He issued an order to Xuzhou, and we in Xuzhou also refused to accept the order. Since he has plagued the whole world, he should be treated as a prisoner. ”

It turned out that Song Huizong had not been trapped in Bianliang, he had also fled to Huaibei with Tong Guan and others, but he was driven out by the people of Huaibei government, and he could only return to Bianliang in a gloomy manner, and enjoy the treatment of Dude Gong that he should enjoy.

Yue Fei actually didn't approve of Huaibei's expulsion, after all, no matter how bastard Song Huizong was, he should only be judged by the people of the Central Plains, instead of letting the wolf-like golden dog be captured and used to humiliate all the Song people. But Yue Fei understood the actions of the people of Huaibei. Five years ago, Wang Qing of the Huai army rebelled, and Song Huizong sent troops to suppress it. Wang Qingjun was only a few thousand, but the Song army beheaded more than 200,000 people, so you can imagine how badly the local people were tortured.

At this moment, seeing that the Shi family master actually mentioned this matter, Yue Fei certainly understood the meaning of the Shi family master's words. They were trying to persuade themselves to defeat Zhang Jun. Although the starting point of these family heads is extremely selfish, they just want to keep the family property and population, but at this moment, Yue Fei is not broken. Instead, he smiled and asked the other family heads, "Aren't you all willing to open the city to accept the imperial army?" ”

The head of the Wang family, who was as fat as a leather ball, said resolutely, "Yue Tuanlian don't worry. We discussed it last night and decided to pay for your Protectors. As long as you can keep us Xuzhou, you need people, we will send people, you need money, we will pay. ”

This Wang Fat Man's family is a money bank, and what he has in his family is money. He also opened several mines in Feng County. So when he said that when he gave people and money, he was very confident, and he didn't look like he was beaten by Zhu You. Several other family heads also expressed their loyalty, in short, in the final analysis, there was only one sentence, Zhang Jun's men must not be put into the city.

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Gentlemen, please relax. I, Yue Fei, only know how to fight, but I don't know what to descend into. When I leave the city, I will break its vanguard first, and then it is not too late to talk about the fate of Xuzhou City. ”

Under Zhang Tiehammer's gaze, the gate of Xuzhou City slowly opened, and three thousand cavalry guards galloped out of the city, quickly setting up a charging formation. Before Yue Fei left the city, he handed over the city defense task to Zhao Wan and Zhao Hong, leaving them with 2,000 horse troops.

After the two armies set up their positions, Zhang Tiehammer looked at the Protectors on the opposite side. He originally thought that the Protector Army was just like the regimental training in various places, it was a rabble with incomplete weapons. But the Protector Army in front of him has a knife in his hand, armor on his body, and a horse under his crotch, and it is clearly a well-equipped regular army.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiehammer suddenly stopped thinking of leading the army to assault. Strangling with such an army, it is definitely a thousand kills and eight hundred self-losses. At this moment, Zhang Jun and Liu Bao's 7,000-foot army was still dozens of miles away, and it was absolutely impossible to start a war easily.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tiehammer decided not to start a war with the entire Protector Army for the time being. However, as a reckless man with a very high force value, where will Zhang Tiehammer wait for the arrival of Zhang Jun's army in peace.

As soon as he urged the crotch to go down, he carried two sledgehammers, came to the front of the formation, and shouted at Yue Fei. "Yue Fei, do you dare to fight me?" It turned out that Zhang Tiezhu saw that Yue Fei was not tall, his body was not strong, and his appearance was not good, so he wanted to play a fight in front of the battle, and was ready to show his might and capture Yue Fei.

Before Yue Fei could speak, Ji Qian rushed forward with a double wedge. shouted loudly, "Black charcoal, Lao Tzu has long looked at you unpleasantly." Let's eat your Ji Ye first. ”

The horse rushed to Zhang Tiehammer's side, and it was a blow to hold his head and cover his head.

Zhang Tiehammer saw that Ji Qian was fierce, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he threw the hammer in his right hand outward. The hammers collided, and suddenly a cloud of sparks splashed out, making a muffled sound. Zhang Tiehammer has always had a big eyesight, and he has always been a hammer when dealing with others. Facing Ji Qian's iron mace, he wanted to hammer the iron shovel with his right hand, and then send out the hammer with his left hand to beat Ji Qian under the horse.

Who expected that under the collision of the hammers, Zhang Tiehammer's hands were numb, and the hammer in his left hand could not be sent. I can't help but secretly admire Ji Qian's strength. However, when he saw Ji Qian's convulsive face, he immediately understood that Ji Qian was not feeling well, and his arm must have been numb.

Zhang Tiezhu's guess was right, Ji Qian's arm was indeed numb. But Ji Qian has always been more and more frustrated. He went down, did not knock Zhang Tie Hammer off the horse, but almost came out of his hand with the iron hammer in his hand, he couldn't help but be furious, glared at a pair of ringed eyes, and shouted, "Lao Tzu wants to see how many strokes you can pick up from me!" ”

The iron shovel in his hand was raised high again, and a hammer smashed into the top of Zhang Tiehammer's head.

Zhang Tiehammer was also smashed out of anger, and roared angrily, "Lao Tzu wants to see how many more punches you can smash!" ”

The double hammer was raised high, and Ji Qian's iron shovel was once again erected. In this way, the two reckless men launched a power competition outside Xuzhou City.

Ji Qian smashed thirteen hammers in a row, and Zhang Tiehammer blocked thirteen hammers in a row. The tiger's mouth of the two people had been shattered at this time, but they still refused to stop, their eyes glaring at each other, like two angry fighting cocks.

Ji Qian panted and scolded, "Let's see if you can pick me up a few more!" ”

Zhang Tiezhu gasped, and his mouth still refused to retreat. "Let's see how many more you can smash!"

Just when Ji Qian was about to make a few more moves, Yue Fei withdrew his troops. Ji Qian reluctantly returned to the formation and shouted loudly, "Brother Yue, if you are a little later, I will knock that kid over." ”

Yue Fei knocked Ji Qian's helmet with his hand and scolded, "I said that you kid is really reckless." You're a pig. Will it be that trick to split Huashan? Look at your hands, they're all cracked, and you'll fight the army again, can you still do it? Don't open your mouth to argue, go back to the city and bandage yourself. After this battle, I'll clean you up again. Call Zhao Hong. ”

At this time, Zhang Iron Hammer returned to the formation, immediately hung the two iron hammers on his horse, shook his hands, and shouted in succession. That's when he felt the pain. Several lieutenants surrounded him, pointed at the moving Protector Cavalry, and asked urgently, "General Zhang, what should we do?" They looked like they were going to fight. ”

Zhang Tiezhu glanced at the opposite side and found that the two standard-bearers beside Yue Fei were waving the battle flags, and the Protector Army had already formed a cone-shaped battle formation. Zhang Tiehammer immediately scolded, "A bunch of waste! What are you afraid of, we also have 3,000 elite soldiers. And they did. It's ridiculous that Yue Fei, I really think that my imperial cavalry can be bullied, then I'll let him see the real cavalry. And you guys, you waste, want to run now, is it too late? ”

Zhang Tiezhu's words broke the hearts of several lieutenant generals. These lieutenant generals saw that Ji Qian had a draw with Zhang Tiehammer, and they were a little timid. But as Zhang Tiehammer said, the opposite side has already set up a charging formation, and if his side escapes, it will be equivalent to giving his back to the Protector Army.

Encouraged by Zhang Tiehammer, the 3,000 imperial battalion army was divided into left and right wings, ready to avoid the cone tip of the protector army, and then assaulted left and right, cutting the protector cavalry into two sections.

Guo Jin and Li Heng each held their banners and watched Yue Fei's gestures. Seeing that the iron spear in Yue Fei's hand suddenly pointed forward, Guo Jin and Li Heng immediately shouted, "Rush." The banner pointed ahead. The three thousand cavalry troops suddenly swept directly towards the opposite imperial camp like a torrent out of the gate.

Zhang Tiehammer roared wildly, and the two wings immediately circled to both sides, trying to cut through the flank of the Protectors. Unexpectedly, the Protector Army was also divided into two wings in the gallop, one of which was led by Yue Fei, and the other was led by Zhao Hong.

Yue Fei directly met Zhang Tiehammer. When the two cavalry forces rushed to within 100 paces, they began to shoot arrows with their bows drawn. The Imperial Battalion Army used horned bows, and the Protector Army used steel crossbows. There were only three shots in battle, and each shot three rounds of bows and arrows, and the distance was only a few dozen steps.

Zhang Tiezhu held the hammer high, his eyes fixed on Yue Fei, ready to smash Yue Fei under the horse at the moment of contact. Suddenly, hundreds of sharp short spears less than two feet long flew out of the protector army, directly knocking the dozens of horsemen in the imperial camp to the ground.

Zhang Tiehammer was at the front, and at least a dozen short spears were aimed at him. Zhang Tiehammer danced the double hammer and stopped most of the short spears. The war horse under the crotch screamed and was planted in the ground. It turned out that he had been hit by a spear in the neck.

As soon as the horse fell, although Zhang Tiehammer jumped up in time and was not smashed to the ground by the horse, he also secretly shouted in his heart, my life is over. There are thousands of imperial camp war horses in the back, and thousands of cavalry guards in front, and the two sides are hedged, even if Xiang Yu falls here, he can only be trampled into meat paste.

But Zhang Tie Hammer was not trampled into meat puree. It turned out that when Yue Fei saw Zhang Tiehammer fall off his horse, he immediately urged the horse forward, stretched out his left arm, and directly put Zhang Tiehammer across the horse. Then an elbow hit Zhang Tiehammer on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.

The cavalry of both sides charged and killed each other. The imperial camp army was leaderless, and the morale of the army was sluggish. The Protector Army saw that Yue Tuanlian had captured Zhang Tiehammer, and his morale was greatly boosted, and Zhao Hong, the magic arrow, fired thirteen arrows in a row, killing the thirteen generals of the imperial camp. However, in a quarter of an hour, the imperial cavalry collapsed and fled to Huaibei. Because Zhang Jun's army was in the direction of Huaibei.
