In late October of the fourth year of Jianyan, Wan Yanchang and Chief Pu Suli joined forces, known as 200,000 troops, and slaughtered Taizhou in the cold north wind.

In this place of Taizhou, there is neither natural danger to defend, nor geographical advantages to rely on, and the strength of the Yuejia army is far under the attacking Jin soldiers, and the situation is very bad.

Yes, in the battle to recover Jiankang Mansion, the Yuejia army once had a record of 2,000 soldiers defeating tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. But at that time, the Jin soldiers were already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the Yue family's army was recuperated and suddenly attacked, and it was reasonable to be able to win many small victories.

The situation in Taizhou today is the opposite of what it was then.

First of all, the current batch of Jin soldiers is by no means comparable to the Jin soldiers in Jiankang Mansion, but the troops of Wanyan Chang, the chief of Pusuli, and the rest of Wanyan Wushu are composed of a huge number; Moreover, several troops of the Song Dynasty have recently been annihilated one after another, including Xue Qingbu, Guo Zhongwei, Zhao Libu, Li Yanxian, etc., and they are in the limelight.

Secondly, during this period of time, the Yuejia army has been tossing and turning to fight, the soldiers are quite tired, the old and new wounded have not recovered well, and the combat effectiveness has decreased a lot; Coupled with the fact that they were far less numerical than the Jin soldiers, the Yue family army was obviously on the weak side.

Originally, there was a pond lake on the edge of Taizhou, which had long been occupied by a rebel army transferred from Liangshanbo, and could be borrowed as a military barrier in Taizhou.

The number of this naval army was more than 10,000, with two or three hundred ships, and the big leader was called Zhang Rong.

When Zhang Rong was in Liangshan Boju before, he had invited the Jurchen southern invasion soldiers and horses many times.

When Yan Chang led the Jin soldiers and horses in Shandong to the south, Zhang Rong also led all the boats down the Qing River. Each boat, laden with grain, was stationed in the lake, where it was smeared with mud. repeatedly challenged the southern invasion of the Jin army, lured the enemy deep, and made the enemy fall into the quagmire and die a lot in the four episodes.

Unfortunately, Zhang Rong was unable to get in touch with Yue's army, and was later attacked by Wan Yanchang's full force. Zhang Rongli can't be. He had no choice but to burn the city and abandon it, and lead his fleet to the shrinking lake in Xinghua County.

Wanyanchang's soldiers and horses expelled Zhang Rong's army from Yutan Lake, which was equivalent to dismantling all the military barriers in Taizhou. The Yuejia army stationed in Taizhou was naked in front of the large army of Jin soldiers.

This situation. As in "Han Feizi? "Ten Transgressions" said: "The danger of its king." I'm tired of eggs. ”

The situation is clear. No wonder Emperor Gaozong issued an edict to inform Yue Fei before: "Taizhou can be fought and defended; If not, protect the people on the sandbar. Serve and cover up. ”

The situation is critical, Yue Fei "Gu Yu is prosperous, and Thailand has no danger", judging the situation and already having the intention of retreating. So he gathered all the brothers and asked, "Do you have a good way to deal with it?" ”

Wang Gui stood up and said: "Our army has won many battles, which is enough, and the imperial court has also issued an edict to let us protect the people and retreat, so we can retreat." ”

Yue Fei looked solemn and warned everyone: "The imperial court raises soldiers in order to be able to come in handy in times of crisis. Now, although our army has rapidly defeated the enemy's front, the enemy is strong, and it is only a few dozen miles away from us, and our army should not move lightly, and as soon as our army retreats, they will definitely chase after it, and then our fathers, old and wives will be dragged behind, and the whole army will be worried about annihilation. ”

After listening to Yue Fei's words, the generals looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Yue Fei stood up slowly and pointed out in a deep voice: "In the current situation, the enemy is strong and I am weak, of course we can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place with them. My opinion is that you must retreat, but before retreating, you must fight against the city and kill the arrogance of the Jin people in order to survive in death! ”

Yue Fei's words laid the foundation for the next ten days of war

In the early morning of October 29, the fourth year of Jianyan, the army of Jin Bing, the chief of Wanyanchang and Pusuli, lined up in a formation thirty miles away from the city of Taizhou and fought a decisive battle with the Yuejia army outside the city.

Although Wan Yan Chang didn't understand why the Yue family army would rather give up the city wall of Taizhou and choose this open place in the wilderness to fight the cavalry of the Jin State for a decisive battle, since the Song army wanted to attack the strength of the Jin soldiers with its own shortcomings, Wan Yan Chang was naturally happy to see it.

Wan Yanchang didn't know that Taizhou and several nearby counties were already empty cities, and hundreds of thousands of Han people were slowly rushing towards Nanbatang. There they were to cross the Yangtze River to escape the war.

The problem is that these hundreds of thousands of people are walking slowly, and it will take at least 10 days to cross the river in full.

In other words, the Yue family army had to hold the Jin soldiers for at least ten days.

In a plain area, it is not easy to use 10,000 people to delay the advance of 200,000 troops!

It took two hours, and Wan Yanchang finally lined up his formation.

A full 100,000 armored soldiers and iron horsemen, neatly arrayed. Wanyan Chang is stubborn and stubborn, leading the elite cavalry of the Wanyan family to live in the center of the position, and the generals of the rest of the surnames and tribes lead the headquarters to line up on both sides, and the five-color banner is planted around the Chinese army according to the direction, and the cold wind blows, and the hunting sounds.

This is Wan Yanchang's favorite charging formation, the name is "Fish Scale Charging Formation", to put it bluntly, it is just stacked together by different phalanxes.

Regarding the arrangement of troops admired by the Song people, Jin Bing was not very cold.

No matter what formation you put up, I can knock you down with just one lunge forward.

As the Jurchens stayed in Han China, the more they were assimilated into the Han culture, and they began to imitate the etiquette and demeanor of the Han people even when they fought wars.

For Wan Yanchang's "Fish Scale Charging Array", the record in the history books is: "The captive array is across the Northern Wilderness, Hu Xingyao is Jingmang, and the men and horses are ringed..."

Yue Fei and the generals saw Jin Bing's posture, and they had mixed joy and sorrow.

The good news is that there are only 100,000 Jin soldiers, not as many as the 200,000 that Wan Yanchang himself claimed.

In fact, irrigation is a fine tradition of all ethnic groups in China, and Wan Yanchang is already a very reliable comrade with 100,000 gold soldiers and 200,000 troops.

The sad 100,000 gold soldiers are all ironclad heavy cavalry, and the Song army's scalp is a little numb.

Wan Yanchang looked at the group of ragged Song soldiers opposite. I don't really believe my eyes, just these soldiers, they actually defeated their own subordinates many times?

Wan Yanchang looked up to the sky and smiled, waved his hand, the horn sounded, and 100,000 cavalry rolled towards the Song army together.

In a general battle, the two sides must first send a small force to test each other before the decisive battle; However, now that the strength of the Jin and Song sides is far apart, Wan Yanchang doesn't want to waste time, so he gives the order to directly push the Song army there. There's no need to ramble with them anymore.

Just the soldiers and horses of the Song army in front of him. There were less than 3,000 cavalry, less than 10,000 infantry, and 100,000 cavalry without weapons, and they could be crushed by horses' hooves alone.

For the practice of Wan Yan Chang. Yue Fei and the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they didn't try

Snow has already begun to fall in Taizhou at the end of October. A thin layer of snowflakes laid on the ground, adding a bit of chill to the vast battlefield.

One hundred thousand hoplites charged together, and the momentum was huge. It is definitely "the sound of hooves is like thunder, earth-shattering". Stepping the shallow snow out of patches of darkness.

Suddenly, a row of huge potholes suddenly appeared in the white snow, and the golden soldiers in the first few rows fell into the pits, blood splashed everywhere, and screams kept ringing out.

Could it be that the golden soldiers were so heavy that they trampled the ground and collapsed?

Of course not, it was a super big trap carefully prepared by the Yue Jiajun for Jin Bing.

Wan Yanchang's face sank, and he asked the horn hand to speed up the rhythm, even if he used his life to fill the trap, he would kill all these hateful Song troops in front of him.

Although there is a trap ahead, and there are still their own people in the trap. The military order was like a mountain, and the Jin soldiers did not dare to disobey, so they quickly filled the trap with their lives and continued to charge forward.

The distance between the two armies was less than 300 paces, and suddenly there was a "boom", and the golden soldiers once again stepped out of the big pit in the snow. Needless to say, this is another trick of the Song army

In just a few hundred steps, Jin Bing encountered this kind of big trap three times and suffered heavy casualties. And Wan Yanchang also understood why the Southern Barbarians dared to choose this place to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, and the answer was in these huge traps.

The Jin soldiers in the front row began to disobey the order and were about to turn back and retreat.

It's all born by my parents, knowing that there is a trap in front of me, no one will jump down and bury their lives in vain. Moreover, the snow is vast, and no one knows how many traps lie ahead.

The formation of the golden soldiers gradually became chaotic.

Yue Fei saw that the time had come, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, set an example, and took the lead in rushing towards the golden soldier array. While charging, he shouted in Jurchen words: "Defeated, defeated, quickly retreat." ”

In the fighting and shouting, the Jin soldiers were all servants and trampled together.

At that time, the north wind was strong, the snow was all over the sky, and the people and horses were not distinguished, and the warriors of the Yuejia army became more and more courageous, and the swords and axes were thrown together, and the golden soldiers screamed and fell off their horses, crawling and rolling on the ground.

The soldiers of the front team of the Jin soldiers kept retreating, and the soldiers of the rear army did not know where they were, and they also fled one after another. The golden soldiers had no fighting spirit, threw away their armor, and like ducks being driven away, they kept flapping their fat wings, croaking, and retreating.

Wan Yanchang ran wildly for more than 30 miles in one breath, cleaned up the remnants in the northeast of Taizhou, and set up camp.

This battle was really unconvinced, Wan Yanchang was very unconvinced, sent more than a dozen scout teams in one go, and it took two days to finally find out the details of Taizhou, and re-sent a large army to catch up.

Yue's army retreated all the way, and successfully fought an ambush in Yanchang in Nanbatang, making the Jin soldiers "invincible to those who rush into the river", and the river water was cold and biting, and the Jin soldiers who fell into the water were heavily armored and struggled a few times, and soon froze into popsicles, half-floating and half-sinking to fill the riverbed.

After this battle, the Jin soldiers lost their spirit and did not dare to chase too closely, and Yue Fei did not dare to withdraw his troops, and the two sides fell into a state of stalemate again.

In this way, Yue Fei covered the smooth crossing of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Jiangbei when he had neither food and grass, nor support, nor danger to defend.

After crossing the river, the refugees retreated with Yue's army all the way, and finally settled in Jingjiang on the banks of the Yangtze River.

The people of Jingjiang were grateful for Yue Fei's kindness, and spontaneously built a "Wangyue Bridge" on the Yangtze River, and built a "Yue Wangsheng Ancestral Hall" next to the bridge to enshrine Yue Fei's immortal tablet.

In 1968, the Yuewang Temple was rebuilt, and Mr. Zhao Puchu personally inscribed the book, which was changed to "Yue Zhongwu Musheng Ancestral Hall...... (To be continued......)
