Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 262 Battle Array Fierce (5)

On that day, the Shenwu Changsheng Army was stationed in several important places in Hedong, and set up the Ulzhou camp and the Yanmen camp. Although the Ulzhou battalion has a large number of troops, the most elite part of the Shenwu Changsheng army is half of the Yanmen battalion.

This time, he was transferred with Yue Fei as a pioneer to the north to rescue Yunnei, and it was the essence of these Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army in the Yanmen Battalion.

After arriving in Yunnei again, he selected some of them from Wang Gui's department. This part is mostly the elite gathered in Danzhou in the past two years, and there are warriors of all ethnic groups, and even the elite Khitan of the Liao State who has perished, and even those who were born in Yuanjiaozi. These people can't walk and learn to ride horses first, these years of Liaodi beacon fire endlessly, almost everyone has been on the battlefield to see blood, and even have a deep blood feud with the Jurchens - although the Song people finally took advantage of the fire to loot and capture Yanjing, but they did not slaughter the city all the way like the Jurchens!

Over the years, Xiao Yan has worked hard, laid out everywhere, and gathered together two thousand and hundreds of cavalry elites, and there are strong generals such as Yue Fei to command, and the weather is very different along the way.

Two thousand and hundreds of cavalry troops, in addition to the seven battalions of Hedong brought by Yue Fei, the Danzhou soldiers and the Yunnei soldiers were organized into two sentry battalions. More than 2,000 horsemen, equipped with nearly 3,000 Liaodong war horses, and more than 2,000 Mongolian horses as preparation horses and pack horses. Wang Gui also tried his best to put together about 1,000 auxiliary soldiers for this vanguard army and horses, most of whom were local elites in Yunnei, with nearly 2,000 horses, mules and donkeys, carrying food and straw materials for the army. Such a luxurious lineup, even after the opening of the Great Song River, war horses are not as scarce as in the past few decades, and it is also rare and unheard of!

You must know that the white soldiers and heavy cavalry that the Western Army easily put together back then were almost 5,000 people, and the qualified war horses were only about 60%.

The horse is as strong as a dragon and as an eagle. People are fierce like tigers and wolves. It's equipment. Also armed almost to the teeth.

These cavalry were basically grouped into the category of light cavalry. But they are all lined with leather armor and a layer of chain mail on the outside. Some sergeants also brought an extra set of scale armor with heart guards and threw them to the auxiliaries. This kind of armor is almost the same as heavy riding.

It is a war horse mount, and there is also a thick white stacked cloth for the horse cover, several layers of white stacked cotton are hammered into a layer, and the outside is a waterproof tarpaulin. It can not only keep out the cold and moisture, but also have a certain protection ability. But the cost is impressive.

Every warrior, regardless of whether he was born in Hedong Danzhou or Yunnei. All kinds of blades are available. Almost everyone has a finely crafted horse lance, and some big dogs even have spare. Horse swords, long knives, iron bones, and other melee blades, each of them brought at least three or four handles. Needless to say, the strong bow and hard crossbow are all selected from the Bianliang arsenal. Equipped with Cheng DΓΉ in this way, it can simply flash the eyes of a blind kryptonite dog, even Zong Han's personal guard Mouke, and he can only be stunned.

The other materials transported with the army were simple, only the grain was sufficient, and the grain was refined mixed with fried wheat of dried meat, and the best meat sauce was boiled. A jar of salt eggs, a gourd and a gourd of spirits and vinegar. Even the horse feed is full of good salt beans and Jiaozhou tribute sugar candy cubes!

Now in Yingzhou, he is close to the Jurchen army horses that plunder some multigrain beans and kill and wound horses and mules and eat boiled meat. Seeing Yue Fei's horses, he had to swallow his saliva.

The Great Song Dynasty is proud of the group in this era, and this group of people is still at the level of the earth. It's just that this national strength has never been exerted at the turn of the two Song Dynasty!

Although the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is elite, after all, the scale is still limited, Xiao Yan can only arm it to the teeth as best he can, so that he can use it to subdue other forces and face a life-and-death enemy like the Jurchen!

- Thanks to Xiao Yan, who is very good at holding money, and is quite willing to spend money.

Thousands of cavalry troops moved up to pull out a battle several times larger than the same number of infantry troops, and during the march, they rolled up the snow dust like a jade dragon all the way, and the armor reflected the snow light, dazzling. The remnants of the Dock Fort in the Land of the Clouds only felt shuddered when they saw this kind of military appearance. Some people know the banner of the Song Army better, and the small number of elite children who have been collected in their dock fort are running vigorously to explore the military outpost to guide the way. Only then did they suddenly understand that the so-called Fuliao Army, which suddenly appeared and crisscrossed the land of Yunnei, turned out to be the banner of the Song Army! It's no wonder that so many old and weak people who consumed food in vain could be transported to the east of the Great Song Dynasty in one trip!

For the people of Yunnei, after the collapse of the Great Liao rule, they attacked and plundered each other, and the original system completely collapsed. Even if you have a certain amount of strength, you still have a sense of precariousness in this troubled place. The Fuliao army suddenly sprang up and subdued them with great strength. For these local powerful factions, they are not willing to belong.

The reason is very simple, such a big empire has collapsed, what kind of princess of Shu is defeated with thousands of remnants, how long can she struggle? For the people of the land in the clouds, it doesn't matter who they surrender to, the key is to surrender to a strong enough side. It is enough to leave the chaotic days after one time!

Now it is revealed that the Fu Liao army is just a vest used by the Song people, although I don't understand why the Song people are under the banner of the remnants of the Liao people. However, for the former Liao people in the land of Yunnei, they have a more sense of belonging to this force.

The Great Song Dynasty is also a huge empire, and it has been known in the world for more than 100 years along with the Great Liao, and it is much more reliable than a mere Liao army. Moreover, the Jurchen Tartars were ferocious, and they came to slaughter countless cities along the way, causing a huge wave of refugees in the north. The Great Song Dynasty is very wealthy, no matter from which point of view, it is much stronger than the Jurchen Tartars who came out of the deep mountains and old forests.

After these heroes who suddenly came to their senses understood the reality of the Fuliao Army, they complained a little. How good would it be if you had played the banner of the Song people earlier? We can also send more children to the army, and in the future, we will be able to gain fame and wealth in the Great Song Dynasty!

As for the force of the Great Song Dynasty, the rumor of the weakness of the southerners was almost a correct understanding in Liao. However, for these local heroes, shallow eyelids are also a common feature. On that day, the mixed up Fuliao army led by Guo Rong has been regarded as an irresistible force by the local heroes in Yunnei, and now this Shenwu Changsheng army with people and horses like dragons is the elite of the brand, in their eyes, it is simply equivalent to a heavenly soldier and a general!

With such a strong army, those Jurchen Tartars who have never met but only heard rumors are not afraid that they will not be able to resist, right? Those Jurchen Tartars also need to be individuals. Can it still be three heads and six arms? It's better to serve these tough Song people. I can't say that I can leave this bird place that has almost become white, bitter cold and hardship. Go to the Song people to enjoy the blessings in the flowers!

Yue Fei's journey to the north unexpectedly played a role in deterring the land in the clouds.

The march of the cavalry brigade is actually not much faster than that of the infantry brigade. Horses and mules are more likely to get tired and sick than people. Caring for these animals is a technical job, and it is difficult to maintain a good condition for a long time.

Those Yunnei disciples in the sentry camp played the role of guides, and they had to arrange for rest and replenishment in the dock fort where Wang Gui could control them along the way. Originally, I thought that the heroes in these dock forts might not be willing to die, and it was a bit of a trouble to replenish and recuperate along the way. But to Yue Fei's surprise. The news that his strong army had gone north spread among the local heroes in the land of Yunnei like wings, and they replenished and rested all the way, but they were quite enthusiastic in receiving and entertaining. Not only did they try their best to take out their own fine grain and good straw to replenish the horses, but even if they lost their cattle on the way, it was not difficult to ask for replenishment from the dock fort. The local Haoqiang was even more desperate to see Yue Fei, and wanted to stuff a few more elite disciples to the sentry camp.

In troubled times, life is as cheap as paper, even if it is a powerful child with a little status. And in troubled times, it is also a good time to choose a side. I can't say that I can struggle for a hundred years of wealth in the future of the family! Risking the lives of a few children is simply not worth mentioning.

Because of this factor, Yue Fei's army moved north much faster than expected. In just six or seven days, they arrived outside the lofty mountains near Yingzhou. And Yue Fei also cautiously deployed the brigade outside the mountain. Send more sentries to probe the various mountain paths. What Yue Fei is eagerly waiting for now is what the situation is in Yingzhou.

And the first sentinel he sent didn't make him wait too long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yue Fei's camp is set up on a high hill, on which there is a large tent of the Chinese army, and there is a camp tent under the command of the cavalry of the Chinese army. The periphery is fenced and snow-faced, and a four-corner watchtower is set up. The other cavalry commanders, walking left and right, like plum blossom petals, spread out into a camp, firmly guarding the stamen where the Chinese army's big tent is located. The distance between each other, the strong crossbow can be connected. And in each camp, there is a passage that is enough for cavalry to attack. It was the standard cavalry army.

The main force of the vanguard set up camp here, and every day three or four hundred cavalry spouts were sent to open the cavalry power search curtain, and also sent an equal number of teams of distant outposts. The main force of the entire Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army marching north, like a dangerous animal with all its tentacles open, vigilantly crouched less than a hundred miles away from the Yingzhou City Fortress, waiting to spy on the reality of the enemy in front of them, and then make the most rapid and powerful response.

At this moment, in the simple Yue Fei Zhongjun tent, Tian Qiong and the first-class soldiers were all staggering and trying their best to stand straight. Especially Tian Qiong, they have been in the field for the longest time, and they have the most bitter sentinels, and their faces are full of cold wind-blown openings, and blood scabs and ice ballast are mixed together. But he still used his last strength to maintain the demeanor of a soldier.

There is no other reason, standing in front of them is Yue Feiyue, who is invincible although he is young, but the name of bravery is served by the whole army, and the whole army is feared! Not to mention that Yue Fei was young, and he was already in the position of the pinnacle of the Great Song Dynasty Wuchen!

They had only left the mountain road and had only gone far south when they ran into a sharp sentry in the distance. Knowing that the military situation was important, he did not hesitate to escort them back as quickly as possible, and then sent them directly to Yue Fei's army camp. Yue Fei also met with them immediately, and Tian Qiong was in charge of the matter of returning to the military situation, although he was so tired that his bones were hurting, his hands and feet were so cold that he lost consciousness, and his eyes were black for a while. However, Tian Qiong still tried his best to support the military situation in front of him in as much detail and accuracy as possible with the tenacity of an old soldier.

The Yingzhou fortress has been broken, and the three divisions of the Jurchen army have converged, and there are about four or five thousand elite soldiers, who are gathering on the left side of the Yingzhou fortress to defend it steadily, waiting for the main force of Zonghan in the north to move south.

The most important thing is that on the Longshou Village, there is also the banner of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army flying high!

And after Yue Fei frowned and listened carefully to the military situation, he turned around and went to the most eye-catching wooden map in the Chinese army's big tent, contemplating carefully. A face that seemed too young for him at the moment was tense, and the guards around him stood straight with their swords. I didn't even dare to take a breath of air. Some of the commanding envoys who were called to command the envoys were all commanding envoy-level generals. Just like those guards. Nothing to say.

With such an atmosphere, Tian Qiong and the others didn't dare to say anything, and they all waited for Yue Fei to make a decision.

The wooden map in the military tent is also carefully made, Xiao Yan has been the deputy capital of Xifu for a period of time, and by taking advantage of his position, he has sent some good hands of the staff department to build the wooden map to the Shenwu Winning Army. This wooden map is about four feet in circumference, and the topography of the mountains and rivers in the land of the clouds is delicate on this wooden map.

Yingzhou is located in the middle of the mountains. Stuck in the main passage of Xijing Datong Mansion to the south, passing through Yingzhou and south, the terrain is gradually slowing, and the passable mountain roads are divergent, and troops can be marched almost everywhere. This shows the importance of Yingzhou, and if you live here, a small army and horses can block the road to the south. And Yingzhou fell and wanted to block the way south, more than ten times the military horses may not be able to block everywhere, and they have to worry about being broken by the enemy's concentrated main force!

Tian Qiong speculated on Yue Fei's thoughts.

It is to concentrate the main force all the way to the south, and attack the enemy when encountered. Kill hard, open a bloody road, and go straight to the city of Yingzhou. Or divide the troops into multiple ways and pull the enemy army. And then look for the gaps, interspersed in?

No matter which one you choose, there will be a series of bloody battles to fight. The strength of the army is even less dominant -- but since the formation of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, who have been afraid of coming? Not to mention that there is still his own robe in Longshou Village, just like when Yue Wushu was in Gubeikou that day.

The Shenwu Victorious Army has not yet failed to save its own brothers!

The tent was quiet, and only the faint breathing of the generals and guards could be heard.

Yue Fei suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian Qiong with a cold and lightning gaze. He has a wound in one eye (shot by Guo Rong), slightly looking big and small. However, the eyes are so sharp that people almost dare not face it.

"The main force of the Jurchen Tartars, are all hedgehogs gathered near the left side of Yingzhou City? No dispersion? ”

Tian Qiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty-he was very tired, his mouth was dry, and this swallowing action made his throat ache for a while, and he seemed to choke on blood when he said a word.

"Exactly, we have been there for two days, and the three Jurchen Tartars are gathered in one place, and only one or two hundred horsemen are sent out every day, and four or five hundred horsemen are plundered in all directions, and the others are resting."

Yue Fei snorted, lowered his head and looked at the wooden map again. His expression became more and more solemn.

The so-called Yingzhou city fortress is the seat of governance in Yingzhou, and the former Liao is a section to make the military city. There are also several counties, and after the chaos, the residents dispersed, and the city was ruined, and it was completely insignificant. The key lies in this military city next to the southbound passage of Xijing Datong Mansion!

The Jurchen Tartars seem to know this key very well, and they are like turtles that are tightened, covering this key point to the death. The strength of the army is superior, and the terrain is superior. If you go north, this battle is simply impossible to fight.

After learning that Yingzhou was real, Yue Fei quickly understood that with his strength, he was already unable to respond to the state's key point. It was the main force led by Han Shizhong who came, and the main force of the Jurchen Western Route Army had already arrived. If you want to fight the Jurchen Tartars back, it can only be in the form of a battle, and the battlefield of the battle must not be near Yingzhou. You must retreat all the way to the south, find a favorable battle place that you can rely on, and fight a battle with the Jurchen Tartars that can determine the overall situation!

The location of this battle is not even a suitable place for Wuzhou. Only retreat all the way to the east of the river, and take advantage of the danger of Xiongsai to eliminate the advantages of the Jurchen Tartars. Somewhere along the avenue that runs through the Hutuo River Valley, do this final battle!

What can be done now is to take root here first, bluff, and slow down the pace of the Jurchen Tatars to the south. Then cover the main force to unfold, join up with Han Shizhong to fight a rearguard battle of fighting and retreating, and clearing the field, and then wait for more forces to gather.

It is not enough to rely on the Hedong Shenwu Winning Army!

Maybe it's the talent, and the current status of commanding an army has long been there. Yue Fei's attainments in military science are a thousand miles a day, and he is no longer the Hebei warrior who only has good skills in the past. At a glance, I accurately judged the shape of the battlefield, and I also made a decision.

He patted the wooden map lightly, and his voice was almost inaudible to himself: "You can't go north." ”

Although the voice was soft, it exploded in the ears of the dazed Tian Qiong like thunder.

What the? Can't go north? Yue Wushu brought the reinforcements that everyone was looking forward to, but he couldn't go north? If it is said that they are waiting for reinforcements, then the Jurchen Tartars have more reinforcements and come faster! With a new force, enough equipment, and enough lives to fill, the nail of Longshouzhai must be pulled out as soon as possible! Needless to say, Yingzhou City Fortress is an important transfer place on the back road of the Jurchens, and no qualified commander will put such a hidden danger as Longshou Village next to him. 、

What about the brothers who are struggling to defend Longshou Village? What should I do with the Guo family's lady? So what about the thirteen who are still alive?

How could Yue Wushu make such a decision?

Among the military tents. The generals who knew something inside were also disgraced. In the dragon head village. There may be a lady of the Guo family who is valued by King Yan! Needless to say, at this moment, King Yan is everyone's lord. If the little lady of the Guo family falls, how can everyone explain to King Yan? How do you bear the wrath of King Yan? Even if King Yan is not guilty, how can this be done by qualified ministers? You have to risk your life to give it a try!

Xiao Yan used to pull out such a Shenwu Victorious Army, and returned to Bianliang from Yandi, and then from Bianliang to Hedong. Most of the people in the army are still ordinary Thanksgiving and obey orders, and they huddle together with Xiao Yan to keep warm. But with the news of Bianliang, Xiao Yan became the king of Yan in a rebellion against the palace that the Great Song Dynasty had never heard of. The Taishang abdicated, and the three kings were the new kings. And the century-old family of the Gate Forbidden Army has been uprooted by Xiao Yan, and at this moment, the sun is in full swing, and the power is not known for a while. And it's not clear how far it will go in the future. Anyway, at least the land of Hedong is already firmly the land of Xiao Yan's vassals, plus the operation of Danzhou Yunnei, as long as there are no major problems, at least it is a sure thing for the princes and kings of the territory.

Xiao Yan's power and future are like this, as in the Japanese side, the loyalty of the generals under his command is naturally completely different. At this time, many people are really trying their best for Xiao Yan's joy and anger, but they won't blink their eyes. I want to win a more important position in Xiao Yan's mind. As soon as Yue Fei's words came out, everyone's expressions changed dramatically!

Go north at the moment. Yang Zaixing's old commander Liu Baozhong, as a general, is the deputy general of this vanguard team. He stood up with a loud voice: "General." At least select hundreds of elites, take advantage of the gap, and go to save Longshou Village! ”

Yue Fei's cold and electric gaze swept towards Liu Baozhong: "Four or five thousand Jurchen elite riding hedgehog gatherings, these hundreds of people and horses penetrated through the gap, are they waiting to be sent to death?" With hundreds of people missing, how can the Jurchen Tartars be limited to Yingzhou as far as possible? And now that the Jurchen Tartars can't figure out our reality and reality, it is our greatest advantage, can we send hundreds of horsemen to the door and cut off this greatest advantage ourselves? ”

Liu Baozhong patted his breastplate: "I'm going to die!" The Lord will not have to take on this responsibility! And I put a sentence here, the picks are naturally good sons, even if it is unfavorable, there will be no raw mouth left for the Jurchen Tartars! ”

As soon as Liu Baozhong's words came out, all the commanders and envoys immediately stood up and asked for their lives.

"Lord, I will go. My sons and daughters are not afraid of death! ”

"General, I killed the Jurchen Tartars in Yandi, and the Jurchen Tartars are not worth anything. This life will be free to touch them again! ”

"Will ............ the Lord"

The tent was full of emotions for a while, and the noise was noisy. One by one, the cuirass was fluffy.

Tian Qiong also wanted to interject, although his status was low. But he has the ability to be familiar with the terrain, and he has already walked once. It is also a mink hat, and there is no need to doubt that he is loyal and brave. You still have the strength to risk your life to hit the Yingzhou City Fortress!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Yue Fei's gaze slowly swept over these angry generals, and suddenly slapped a few cases with wooden drawings. The strength was so great that the whole tree root spelled out several cases creaked, and the heavy wooden figure actually jumped up and fell again!

"Enough! Who is the chief general in the army? How can hundreds of lives be thrown lightly? How can you not know the gravity of this war? ”

Yue Fei's voice was like iron, sharp as a sword.

"This war is related to the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty! Bianliang was in turmoil, and people's hearts were in turmoil. The main force of the Jurchen Tartars is surging again. If we can't defeat them this time, the Jurchen Tartars will go straight to the east of the river, cross the Yellow River and go straight to the city of Bianliang! Before Yandi, he was still in front of the Jurchen army. If they follow south, what will they do to resist it? The Western Army in Shaanxi? Is there less than 10,000 Yongning troops? Is King Yan training a new army now? Do you want the tragedy of the Liao Kingdom to happen again on our rivers and mountains? ”

"Since I am in this position, I am a militaristic burden. Don't show loyalty to anyone, don't sell good to anyone. It's just that I do my duty as a great Song general, the son of the Han family! ”

The awe-inspiring words immediately suppressed the noisy generals who asked for battle. One by one, they lowered their heads in Yue Fei's compelling gaze.

How could they not know that Yue Fei's choice was correct, but who was in Yue Fei's position couldn't make such a decision as neatly as he did............

Perhaps Yue Fei's decision was the most correct response. But in King Yan's heart, what would he think? But King Yan promoted you, a Xiangzhou farmer, to this position with one hand and one foot. In many cases, the lord looks at his subordinates just by this loyal attitude............ Yue Fei's words spread today, what did he think in King Yan's mind?

The generals were silent, and a hoarse voice sounded in the tent: "General, there are our brothers on the Longshou Village............ Just like the time when the general was in Gubeikou, King Yan did not hesitate to save the general! Lord, let us go! ”

It was Tian Qiong, who was of low status, who spoke, and he fell to the ground heavily, took off his hood, and hung his head.

Yue Fei's face turned blue all of a sudden, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Today's military agreement has been decided, and there is no change, so it is not easy to change!" The generals retreated, each of them worked hard to scout, and rested and recuperated! Scatter! ”

The generals didn't have anything to say, and after saluting Yue Fei, they all withdrew from the military tent. Yue Fei waved his hand again, and several guards stepped forward silently, pulling Tian Qiong out to take care of him. Tian Qiong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he was pulled down like this.

The few guards who were still in the tent couldn't help but bow their heads deeply, not daring to look at Yue Fei, who was pale.

Yue Feimo held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his gaze fell into the distance.

Yan Wang, Yan Wang............ I really owe it to King Yan............ The ladies of the Guo family, as well as those robes who loyally resisted to the end and are now guarding Longshou Village, waiting for their brothers to arrive............ (To be continued......)
