Chapter 50: The War of the Slippery State (4)

The location of the Jin army's camp is only five miles away from the south gate of Huazhou. So when the Protector Army entered the gold camp, the sparkling war drums and the earth-shattering shouts of killing all came into Huazhou City.

At that time, Yang Zaixing was sitting with Liu Yan and Zhang Xie in the yamen of the Huazhou prefect. Huazhou now only has soldiers and generals, and there are no civil ministers. The prefect appointed by the imperial court had long since fled. They were discussing the matter of military rations. The military rations in Huazhou City are almost exhausted. If the besieging Jin soldiers could not be defeated before the food ran out, the people of Huazhou would surely die under the butcher's knife of the Jin soldiers.

But if you want to defeat the Jin soldiers, it is not easy to say. Not to mention the more than 20,000 Jurchen iron cavalry, even the more than 10,000 Han'er troops are enough for the defenders in the city to deal with. Although Yang Zaixing was conceited, when he entered Huazhou, 10,000 soldiers were reduced by 2,000, which also made him realize that without elite soldiers, his martial arts would not be of much use.

Therefore, after Yang Zaixing entered the city, he kept training. Anyway, most of the petty officers under him are the elite of the Protector Army, as long as they let them do it, they can definitely train the elite of the Protector Army.

What Yang Zaixing misses most now is the days when he fought side by side with Yue Fei. Yang Zaixin believes that if he has 10,000 elites like the Protector Army, he will definitely not defend Huazhou. I have already pulled out of the city to fight with the Jin soldiers.

It's just that the Protector Army is far away in Mengzhou, and if they want to defeat the besieging Jin soldiers, they can only rely on the Song soldiers in the city. However, Yang Zaixing, Liu Yan, and Zhang Xie discussed again and again, but they still couldn't come up with a way to raise military rations. The grain of the people in the city has long been handed over and distributed in a unified manner. Several wealthy people who were unwilling to pay grain had been killed by Yang Zaixing himself. But there was only so much food in the city. If you want to raise more military rations, you can only borrow food from other places. However, if you want to borrow food from other places, you must defeat the besieging Jin soldiers. The topic turned to the end, but it still returned to Jin Bing.

But with the strength of the Song soldiers in the city, they really couldn't defeat the Jin soldiers.

Liu Yan and Zhang Xie's brows furrowed tightly. The eyes of the two of them were only on Yang Zaixing. Although Yang Zaixing is at the same level as them, their performance during this period of time has long made them regard Yang Zaixing as their superior.

Yang Zaixing suddenly stood up and listened to the movement outside.

Liu Yan and Zhang Xie were stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Zaixing and asked, "General Yang, could it be that there is chaos in the city?" ”

"Not in the city." Yang Zaixing shook his head, and then said in an uncertain tone, "It seems that there is a shouting of killing in the Golden Dog Camp a few miles away." ”

"Won't it?" Liu Yan and Zhang Xie were a little unconvinced. Huazhou was besieged for several months, and except for Yang Zaixing's support army, no other reinforcements were sent by the imperial court. After all, in the face of tens of thousands of golden soldiers, there were fewer reinforcements sent, and it would not work at all. Besides, it's the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. According to the virtue of the officials of the imperial court, they will not go to the court until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. How could reinforcements arrive without someone from the court?

As for the Taihang Mountain Rebels who did not listen to the dispatch, they might come to the aid of Huazhou. But how could the combat power of the righteous army of Taihang Mountain break through to the camp of the Jin soldiers? It is estimated that it will be routed before it reaches the battalion.

"There must be soldiers and horses who have entered the Golden Dog camp." Yang Zaixing said categorically, and his face also showed a look of excitement.

Liu Yan and Zhang Xie listened attentively for a long time, but only heard the voices of the people in the city. Wanting to believe it or not, Wang Lan and Gao Lin, the deputy generals guarding the south city gate, walked in. Gao Lin was originally a capital in the Protector Army, and he was the highest-ranking Protector Officer assigned to Yang Zaixing's Army. was appointed by Yang Zaixing as a deputy general, tied with Wang Lan.

Wang Lan's face was full of excitement, and she shouted loudly to Yang Zaixing, "General Yang, I heard the golden drum in the Golden Dog Camp on the south gate, and the sound of killing shook the sky, it must have been broken into the camp." ”

"Do you know which way it is?"

Gao Lin clenched his fists and said, "According to the speculation of the last general, it must be killed by Yue Shuai's soldiers." ”

Yang Zaixing nodded and said with a smile, "I guess too." Except for the Protector Army, there will be no other soldiers and horses who can enter the Golden Soldier Camp so quickly. ”

Liu Yan was still a little skeptical. "General Yang, it's not that the last general doesn't believe in General Yue's ability. But Mengzhou has Yan Zonghan's 200,000 troops, can General Yue be able to defeat Yan Zonghan so quickly? We must guard against fraud! ”

Gao Lin saw Liu Yan questioning Yue Fei's ability, and immediately said unhappily, "As long as there is Yue Shuai, everything is possible." What about Wanyan Zonghan? ”

Yang Zaixing saw that Gao Lin and Liu Yan were about to quarrel, and hurriedly said. "General Liu, Vice Admiral Gao, don't quarrel. General Liu, I believe in Gao Lin's speculation. The army outside the city must be the Protector Army. Adjutant General Gao, I also believe General Liu's opinion. Zong Han has been fighting for half his life, coupled with a large number of troops, it is absolutely impossible to be defeated by Yue Shuai in a short time. ”

Yang Zaixing's words made Liu Yan and Gao Lin stunned. Gao Lin touched the back of his head and said a little incomprehensibly, "General Yang, you are confused about me. ”

Yang Zaixing said with a smile, "What I mean is that Yue Shuai's army should still be on the southern front of Mengzhou." The Protector outside the city should be an elite cavalry army rushing in. There are definitely not too many people. There are not many of them, but they are definitely elite. As for the leader, as far as I can guess, it must be Yue Shuai who is there in person. ”

Yang Zaixing's speculation was extremely correct. But as soon as he said that the number of troops attacking the camp was small, Gao Lin, who was born in the Protector Army, immediately became anxious. "General Yang, since Marshal Yue has sent troops to help, we can't sit in the lonely city. Why don't we send a large army to highlight the city, defeat the Han'er army camp in one fell swoop, and then join forces with Yue Shuai, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"No more!" Liu Yanzhang shouted in unison. "Huazhou is the waist eye of Hebei West Road. As long as we hold Huazhou, Hebei West Road will not fall into the hands of golden dogs. The troops in the city are already weak, once we lead the army out of the city, in case the golden soldiers suddenly kill, the city will definitely not be protected! In that case, wouldn't we be ashamed of the trust placed on the commander? ”

"Hahaha!" Yang Zaixing laughed three times and said proudly, "Now that Yue Shuai has arrived, how can the Jin soldiers still have the strength to attack the city?" The fighter plane was fleeting. Liu Yan and Zhang Xie are the two commanders, and you will lead the infantry to defend the city. I will lead 4,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the Han army who have forgotten their ancestors. ”

As soon as Yang Zaixing's voice fell, he didn't care about Liu Yan and Zhang Xie, took Wang Lan Gaolin out of the state capital, arrived at the cavalry camp, and quickly gathered 4,000 cavalry. When he arrived at the south gate, he ordered the soldiers defending the city to put down the drawbridge, and directly led the 4,000 cavalry to kill the Han'er army camp 500 steps away.

Yang Zaixing thought that it would take a while to break through to the Han'er military camp. But to Yang Zaixing's surprise, the number of Han'er troops guarding the camp was significantly smaller than in the past. Only a few hundred archers landed sparsely and shot arrows outward, trying to stop the cavalry.

The result was taken for granted, but in half an hour, 4,000 cavalry troops entered the camp of the Han'er army. There were less than 2,000 Han troops in the battalion. Yang Zaixing grabbed a Han'er army and asked, only to know that the other Han'er troops had rushed back to Jinying under the leadership of Zheng Buren, the deputy Wanhu.

When Yang Zaixing heard the urgency, he immediately shouted at Liu Yan at the head of the city, asking them to send some people out to receive the camp tents and prisoners of the Han'er army. He led 4,000 cavalry troops and slaughtered the Jin army camp non-stop.

The reaction speed of Zheng Buren, the deputy of the Han army, can be said to be extremely fast. As soon as the drums of the Jin army camp sounded, he understood that something bad was wrong. Immediately ordered the troops to gather and rushed back to the golden camp to rescue. Although Zheng Buren did not know what army attacked the Jin camp. But he believed that no army in the world could defeat more than 20,000 golden soldiers in a short period of time. As long as he leads the Han'er army to kill back as quickly as possible, maybe the deputy Wanhu hat on his head will become Wanhu.

But what Zheng Buren didn't expect was that his reaction speed was extremely fast. But the speed of the Han'er army was not fast. After all, these Han'er troops are all infantry, and they are running on the snow. More importantly, the closer you get to the Jin camp, the more you can hear the roar of the Jurchen in the camp. Only those with long ears can hear that the Jurchen soldiers have fallen behind. Therefore, these Han'er troops are desperately grinding, even if Zheng Buren sends his own soldiers to kill nearly 100 Han'er troops who are running the slowest way, the speed is still not fast.

It was these Han'er Army's frictions that gave Yang Zaixing a chance. Yang Zaixing led an army of 4,000 cavalry, and finally caught up with Zheng Buren when he was two miles away from Jinying. The 6,000 Han'er army versus the 4,000 cavalry army, one side has no fighting spirit, and the other side has a high fighting spirit, and the outcome of the battle can be known regardless of the question.

The 6,000 Han army was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and ran all over the snowy field. The ambitious Zheng Buren was picked up by Yang Zaixing.

After killing the Han'er army, Yang Zaixing did not hesitate to lead the cavalry army and went straight to the rear camp of the Jin army. At this moment, it was the moment when Pucha Shijianu gathered thousands of iron horsemen and rushed towards Yue Fei. This moment is also the moment when the mad cow Jiao Wentong and Xiao Yueyun collide with the Han army that escaped from the former camp.

The Jin army camp was originally in a north-south direction, and Yue Fei led the people's army to enter from the south camp, that is, the front camp, although it killed the Jin soldiers, but also gave the Jin soldiers the opportunity to gather the war horses hidden in the back camp. Yang Zaixing's 4,000 cavalry entered from the rear camp, which was regarded as a direct capture of the Jin Soldiers and Horses Battalion. Gao Wanli, on the other hand, escaped through a side gate in the front camp.

Because he escaped from the former battalion, if he wanted to gallop to Huazhou, he had to bypass the bloody Jin Soldier Battalion. Gao Wanli, who was bent on gathering the Han'er army to go to Taihang Mountain to claim the king, led more than 200 personal soldiers out of the camp in a panic, and was about to turn to the north, but saw a white bull on the opposite side rushing over like crazy.

Jiao Wentong is nicknamed Mad Bull, and he has always been the first to fight. This time, he was sent to the back team by Yue Fei, and he was already depressed to death. He thought that the great work of this attack must not have his own share.

Although Yue Yun is young, he is a ghost. He saw Jiao Wentong's sullen expression, and immediately said with a smile, "Uncle Jiao, it's okay for us to be behind." Isn't it just right to block the golden dog's slipping through the net? Uncle Jiao doesn't understand that anyone who can escape from the camp is not an ordinary general. ”

Jiao Wentong slapped his thigh, "That's right!" No matter how powerful Yue Shuai is, he will definitely not be able to kill all the golden soldiers. I only have more than 100 people, so don't you just want to capture and kill those fish who slipped through the net in a panic? ”

Jiao Wentong looked at Yue Yun with strange eyes, and said with great admiration, "Master Yue, how did your little brain grow?" Why is it better than my old Jiao? Come on. Wait until you catch the first golden dog, count your captive, how about it? ”

Yue Yun pursed his lips and said unconvinced, "I want to be captured, won't I capture it myself?" ”

"Good boy, ambitious." Jiao Wentong laughed, and suddenly burst into laughter, "The golden dog is here." Oh, it's still a golden dog with a small head. The golden dog is gone, and your grandfather Jiao is here. ”
