On April 15 of the third year of Jingkang, the Jurchen general Pucha Shijianu led 20,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 servant troops to leave Weizhou, defeated Fu Xuan's 5,000 cavalry in Wuzhi, and defeated the dog-killing coalition composed of thirteen branches of the people's army in Xingyang, and finally arrived at Xingyang Ferry.

There is an extremely strong pontoon bridge at the ferry, which is an important passage from the Central Plains to Hebei. Ten war horses can be paralleled on the pontoon bridge. It can also carry hundreds of cavalry at the same time and gallop on the bridge together.

After crossing this pontoon bridge, you can go straight to the north of Bianliang. Pucha Shijianu let out a long breath, reined in the north bank of the pontoon bridge, looked south, and saw that there were only hundreds of people in a hurry on the other side of the pontoon bridge. Further south, is the extremely majestic Bianliang City, looming over the plain.

A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of Puchashi's slave's mouth. Yue Fei's guy, the use of soldiers is still a little tender in the end. He dared to hand over the task of intercepting the Jin soldiers to the Taihang Mountain Caokou, and did not send heavy troops to such an important ferry. Let's see a certain family crossing the river in one fell swoop today.

Fifty murderous Jurchen guards, under the leadership of the guard commander Tuo Hulie, rushed along the pontoon bridge to the south bank. Fifty horses galloped up, making the pontoon bridge swing non-stop. However, the Jurchen guards showed strong riding skills, not only did they not slow down, but rushed faster and faster, less than four miles long Yellow River pontoon bridge in a blink of an eye, most of the time ran away, some of the golden soldiers have taken the longbow in their hands, ready to fire long arrows at any time.

However, the bows and arrows of the Jin soldiers were no longer of any use, because the Jurchen cavalry had just run onto the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, and the hundreds of protectors on the south bank had already abandoned their armor and ran cleanly. Dozens of defenders who were trying to tear down the pontoon bridge also ran away when the Jurchen cavalry was halfway through.

In the spring of the second year of Jingkang, Tuo Hulie followed Prince Zongwang to the most prosperous Bianliang City in the world along this pontoon bridge. At that time, there were about 10,000 Song soldiers guarding the south bank of the pontoon bridge, but only eighteen Jurchen warriors stepped on the pontoon bridge, and 10,000 Song soldiers dispersed in a hurry. On that trip to Bianliang, Tuo Hulie snatched enough gold and silver for his family to spend ten lifetimes, and also robbed two daughters of first-class officials to be concubines.

Tuo Hulie was one of the eighteen warriors who crossed the river first, and it was also because of this merit that he was selected by Pucha Shijianu to be the deputy commander of the personal guard. After the original pro-guard commander was hacked to death by Fu Qing, Tuo Hulie became the new pro-guard commander.

Tuo Hulie crossed the river this time, but he was ready for a hard battle. Because he is facing an elite soldier who is not only not afraid of the golden soldiers, but even retains a psychological advantage over the golden soldiers. Several Jurchen households that could conquer and fight were planted in Yue Fei's hands. After Yue Fei led the army to withdraw to the south bank, the remaining Niu Gao Fu selected Liang Xing and Zhao Yun's generation, but they were just the second-rate legions of the Protector Army, and they fought with the Jin soldiers for several months, and they still did not fall behind. Pucha Shijianu had defeated Niu Gao once in Chaoge Town, but a month ago, Niu Gao led 10,000 infantry to attack Xinxiang County, and Pucha Shijianu led 5,000 iron cavalry to attack, but was defeated by Niu Gao. Pucha Shijianu said very worriedly, "The Taihang grass robbers have the armor and food provided by the people's army, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. If we can't quickly defeat the Protector Army, and when the millions of grass robbers have trained an army of 100,000 in a bloody battle, the end of the Jurchens will come. ”

It was precisely because of this worry that after receiving Zong Wang's secret letter, Pucha Shijianu actually handed over the important town of Weizhou to Zong Han, who had never dealt with it, and led 20,000 iron horsemen to attack Bianliang.

But what Tuo Hulie didn't expect was that the people's guards guarding the bridge turned out to be as timid as last year's Song army. When the horse's hooves stepped on the south bank of the Yellow River, he saw that there was no shadow of the Protector Army within a few miles of the surrounding area, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.

"Sons, do you see, this is the Protector Army known as the Jurchen nemesis. Haha, General Pucha is right, Yue Fei's elite soldiers and horses have all been consumed in the battles for several months. Now his soldiers and horses are all newly recruited outcasts, and they are vulnerable. Sons, this time let's kill into Bianliang, kill into Yingtianfu, rob it again, and let future generations lie down on the gold to sleep. ”

Fifty Jurchen guards responded with a bang. Soon, twenty Jurchen guards went out, monitoring the movement on the periphery. Tuo Hu Lie began to send a signal to the north bank, holding a large flag embroidered with a tiger and waving it thirteen times in a row.

Pucha Shijianu laughed and said, "Sons, cross the river." Last time, we crossed the river and took the dog emperor of the Song people captive to our Jin Kingdom to herd sheep for us. This time, we crossed the river to capture Yue Fei's family alive, and also became the shepherd slave of our Dajin Kingdom. ”

20,000 Jurchen iron horsemen crossed the river in turn. However, when it was dark, only 10,000 iron horsemen had been crossed. There are also 10,000 iron horsemen parked on the north bank of the Yellow River. Seeing the sun setting, Pucha Shijianu did not dare to be careless, and immediately quickly set up three riding villages on the south bank of the Yellow River, which were horns of each other, and firmly guarded the Yellow River Bridge.

The night was uneventful, and the Protectors seemed to be really frightened, and not a single army rushed to this side at all.

At noon the next day, all 20,000 Jurchen horsemen finally crossed the Yellow River. At this time, the Jurchen scouts scattered to the south, east, and west came to report one after another. "Report to the general that there are more than 20,000 infantry of the Protector Army in the east, and it is only ten miles away from here. Report to the general that more than 20,000 Protector infantry from the west have been killed, and it is only ten miles away from here. Report to the general that there are 10,000 cavalry of the Protector Army in the south, and it is only five miles away from here. ”

Pucha Shi Jianu gasped. These Protectors came by coincidence, as if they had made an appointment. Could it be that this Yue Nanman deliberately set a trap to lure me to cross the river with 20,000 iron horses? This Yue Nanman is too bold, even if he is not afraid that my 20,000 iron cavalry will break down Bianliang, but the pontoon bridge is in my hands, if you want to retreat, what can the Protector Army do to me?

Thinking of a word retreat, a shadow suddenly drifted through Pucha Shi's slave's heart. In just one year, everything has changed. A year ago, don't say that there are 20,000 iron horsemen around you, even if there are 2,000 Jurchen iron horses, Pucha Shijianu will not say half a word of retreat. But Yue Fei's series of victories not only raised the morale of the Central Plains Righteous Army, but also broke the bones of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry.

More importantly, if the Protector Army had come prepared, Marshal Zongwang's analysis would not have been correct. Zong Wang believed that Yue Fei's Protector Army had become the end of the strong crossbow, and the elite soldiers and strong generals had been completely lost. Pucha Shijianu thought that Zongwang was reasonable, so he abandoned Weizhou to attack Bianliang. But Yue Fei dared to let his whole army cross the river, and he obviously had great confidence in the Protector Army.

However, Pucha Shijianu is also known as a Jurchen fierce general, and at this point, of course, he can't even fight, so he directly led his troops back to the north shore. In that case, he wouldn't have to mix in the army.

Pucha Shijia slave shouted sharply, "Shift and he, give you 5,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 servant troops to attack the Western Protector Army." Zhuolu Huite, give you 5,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 servant troops to attack the Eastern Protector Army. The two of you send scouts to report the battle situation at all times. It is necessary to quickly figure out whether the incoming Protectors are elite or rabble! ”

The two Wanhu made a promise, each turned on his horse, and led the troops away.

Pucha Shi's slave's face did not relax in the slightest, he went south this time, and there were not many servants with him. Now that he has handed over the servant army to Yirahe and Zhuoluhuite, all that is left under his command are genuine Jurchen iron horsemen. However, of the 10,000 Jurchen Iron Horsemen, only 5,000 Jurchens are really powerful in combat, and the other 5,000 are mature Jurchens. In fact, although the slaves of the Pucha Shi family are expensive horses with perfect faces, there are only 6,500 daughters under his command. In the past few months, 1,500 Jurchens have been folded, which has put a lot of pressure on Puchashi's slaves.

The Jurchen scouts kept sending news on their horses. "Report to the Great General, the Protector infantry is marching extremely fast, and it is now only seven miles away from here. After the arrival of the Shifter and the Zolu Hui Tewanhu, the Protectors had stopped advancing. But behind the Protectors, there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people with weapons in their hands, and they are rushing towards this side. ”

Pucha Shi's slave's face turned slightly pale, and he smiled bitterly, "How many people did Yue Fei dispatch?" ”

The staff member Yelu Yumu cautiously said, "General, should we send 2,000 men to guard the north bank of the Yellow River in case of accidents?" ”

Although Yelu Yumu was Yelu Yujian's younger brother and was highly valued by Pucha Shi's slaves, he was still ready to be whipped when he proposed this Jianyi. But unexpectedly, Pucha Shijianu actually agreed to his suggestion, and sent Tuo Hulie to lead 2,000 of the most elite Jurchen warriors to the pontoon bridge and gallop towards the north bank of the Yellow River.

Hundreds of Jurchens had just walked to the center of the pontoon bridge, and they suddenly changed. In the upper reaches of the Yellow River, dozens of large ships suddenly flew down, and the huge Li characters were embroidered on the big boats, which were Li Bao's naval warships.

The three big boats at the front, each cast a huge dragon head, which is cast in pig iron, are high on their backs, higher than the Yellow River pontoon. A long iron spine stretched out of the dragon's mouth, aimed at the Yellow River pontoon bridge and crashed into it.

At this time, there were at least three hundred heavily armed Jurchens on the mile-long pontoon bridge, the front one was four or five hundred meters away from the end of the pontoon bridge, and the last one had just stepped onto the pontoon bridge.

In the face of the fierce ship, the raw Jurchen, who had no time to advance or retreat in the middle of the bridge, took off their strong bows and shot desperately at the big boat. Helplessly, Li Bao's three big ships couldn't see anyone on the deck at all. The long iron arrows soon rained down on the deck, killing not a single sailor or stopping the ship's downward thrust.

With a bang, the first dragon head hit the Yellow River pontoon. The Yellow River pontoon bridge clicked. With a bang, the head of the second big ship hit the Yellow River pontoon bridge again. The Yellow River pontoon bridge began to twist. In the end, there was another bang, and the head of the third big ship gave the final blow to the Yellow River pontoon.

The pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, which was several miles long, was suddenly broken into two, and a gap of more than ten zhang wide was vacated in the middle.

The more than 100 Jurchens who were in the gap only let out a miserable scream, and they were swallowed by the turbid Yellow River water. Most of the Jurchens who escaped by chance retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River. Only the fastest dozen or so rode fast horses to the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Drag Tiger Spirit!"

Pucha Shijianu on the shore could see it clearly, and Tuo Hulie also fell into the Yellow River. Tuo Hulie definitely didn't want to die like this, and stepped on the back of the war horse and jumped up from the river once, but he quickly sank. Pucha Shijianu shouted angrily, he knew that his loyal and brave personal guard commander had turned into a fish and turtle in this way.

With a bang, Pucha Shi Jianu took out the Hundred Refining Treasure Knife that was rewarded by Wanyan Agu, slashed it in the air, and shouted, "Sons, the back road has been broken." Yue Nanman wanted to wipe out all of our 20,000 iron horsemen on the banks of the Yellow River. If we want to survive, we must defeat the Protector Army as quickly as possible and join up with Wanyan Lou's room. Sons, if you want to live, follow my banner and charge. Wherever my banner goes, you will rush. If you don't win this battle, you will die. ”

Hundreds of guards shouted in unison, "Jurchen Yum, Jurchen Yum." Soon the ten thousand horsemen also shouted in unison. When the 10,000 iron horsemen were cut off from the back road, they forced out the unyielding courage of the Jurchens at the beginning.

Pucha Shijianu pointed the tip of his knife to the south, "The whole army is moving forward." In one fell swoop, he defeated Yue Nanban's cavalry. Lay down Bianliang City and never seal the knife. ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "Ten thousand greedy wolves let out their final roars on the banks of the Yellow River.
