Chapter 144: Victory

Yue Yun is also the ruler and Yue Fei's beloved son, there is nothing wrong with saying such things from his mouth, and it is more casual and confident than others say.

Yang Zaixing was in front of the battle this time, and made great achievements, originally he was just worried that Yue Yun would embarrass him when he was talking about his merits, so he deliberately suppressed it, and at this time, he released his previous suspicions with the other party, and there is no need to talk about this.

He didn't want to lose the reputation of clinging to the powerful, and when Yue Yun finished speaking, he didn't intend to stutter, but just smiled: "The last general doesn't care about the position, just want to be able to serve the country." ”

Yue Yun stared at the look on his face, knowing that this person was not a hypocrite, and he felt even more regretful in his heart, this person in front of him was so talented, and he had been suppressed by himself with personal vendetta until now, it was really ridiculous.

didn't speak at the moment, only nodded and smiled at Yang Zaixing, and turned his horse's head to return to his subordinates.

After delaying for a while, Yue Yun himself already felt that his spirit and body had recovered, and looking at all his subordinates, they were all in high spirits, Yue Yun was extremely satisfied, but he also knew that everyone was too excited on the battlefield, so they didn't feel tired after resting for a while, so they forced everyone to continue to sit down and rest, and he also jumped off his war horse and drank water to rest.

At this time, the battlefield has long been a one-sided situation, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people are running in front, many people have fled from the scope of the original barracks, desperately running in the endless wilderness, behind is a group of cavalry chasing, many enemy soldiers have long given up resistance, once chased by the cavalry, as long as the first time is not cut off the head, will kneel on the ground and surrender, more than half of the enemy cavalry has long fled and do not know where to go, many died in the battle just now, leaving only the war horse without a master, wandering around on the battlefield, Bowing their heads and nibbling on the grass, soldiers from the front army and the middle army have already begun to be ordered to drag these war horses in one place and take care of them. The Song army lacked horses, and weapons and other battlefield seizures could be picked up slowly, but the war horses had to be taken care of as soon as possible. Yue Yun looked at it for a moment. Already knowing that there would be no more fighting, even if there was a little fatigue, it would be enough to support, so he turned on his horse and rushed forward with his own men.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the battle lasted for most of the day, and the Song army ended in a great victory without surprise. Yue Yun galloped all the way, only to see the armor and weapons all the way, shining in the sun.

He was in a very happy mood, his father and son were valued by the emperor, and he started a battle to destroy Liu Guangshi, and although he defeated the enemy in a row, he always did not have the good military exploits to speak of.

And the generals of the Western Army, following the emperor to defeat the Jin soldiers in a row, defended Chang'an Ketaiyuan, and they really made great achievements. Majestic-looking. Fathers are reused. The most unconvinced in my heart are these generals of the Western Army.

This time he defeated a strong enemy, although he was not a defeated golden soldier. However, the number of enemy soldiers killed and captured is the crown of all battles in recent years, and the next step Yuejia Army will also independently shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting with the main force of the Jin soldiers.

After resting for a while, when they set off again, there were few standing enemy soldiers nearby. Either they were cut to the ground, or they were already on their knees, waiting to fall. Yue Yun glanced at it a few times, and already knew that this battle was very fruitful, the casualties on his side were almost negligible, and a large number of prisoners were in front of him, countless armor stomachs and weapons were thrown all over the ground, and the war horses were being collected by the Song soldiers, and everyone's faces were full of relief and excitement.

He knew he couldn't catch up. They did not speed up their horses, but trotted forward with their men, and occasionally sporadic enemies were encountered by them, and they either surrendered quickly or were hacked to death with a few knives.

When they reached the vicinity of the enemy camp, there was no longer a standing enemy soldier in sight, and the cavalry who had been killed in advance had obviously received the commander's order, and did not rush into the camp in a hurry, but urged and shouted, so that the enemy soldiers in the camp lined up, laid down their weapons in turn, removed their armor, and then squatted aside and waited for the attack.

As for the people who were forcibly plundered, at this time, they came out of the camp in groups, all of them were full of lightheartedness, and according to the instructions of the Song soldiers, they started from the side of the camp, picking up the armor and weapons discarded by the people after the defeat.

They were all forced to be recruited, hated the Jin soldiers, and never had any identification with the Jin people's lackeys pseudo-Qi, seeing the Song soldiers coming, not only did not panic, but came forward and took the initiative to ask for help, Song soldiers also knew that these Central Plains people were loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no problem, so they were also relieved to let them pick up weapons.

Yue Yun saw that there was nothing to do, even if he chased the fleeing enemy, the cavalry at the starting place also ran far away, and he could no longer catch up, so he simply rode his horse into the camp, urged the soldiers to squat in one place, and let people make room for more prisoners to come over so that they could be guarded.

And through the people's dwellings, looking around, I saw that the armor was like a mountain, and the rest of the more than 200,000 people's grain, herbs and other materials, piled up like a mountain, there were more than 20 grain camps alone, and the large amount of food hoarded could greatly alleviate the supply pressure of the Song army, which made Yue Yun happy in his heart.

After a while, Yue Fei arrived with the Chinese army escort, Fu Qing and the rest of the infantry commanders also arrived, everyone was old in the battle, and there was no need for Yue Fei to give more orders, immediately arrange defense, clean up the battlefield, count the dead and wounded, count the number of prisoners, clean up the sharp weapons, a team of cavalry with the order of the main general quickly passed the order, to the day when the sun was thin, the entire battlefield had been cleaned, even the corpses of the forbidden soldiers who died in the battle, most of them were listed in one place, according to the cuirass and hanging plaques, write down the names, and then cover with white cloth, Waiting for the burial, as for the dead enemy soldiers, they will ignore it for the time being, and let the people dig a big pit tomorrow and bury them together. All the weapons and armor stomach piled up together, like a hill in general, the Song Dynasty not only lacked war horses, iron ore is also scarce, in recent years in order to build chariots and foot people armor Mo knife and other things, the civil iron has been greatly restricted, every battle, the captured enemy weapons, well-equipped to issue the forbidden army to use, the damage is either rebuilt in the furnace, or classified for civilian use, these trophies are also extremely important.

And the captured war horses made everyone smile even more. This time Li Cheng included all the cavalry of the pseudo-Qi to come to the battle, the cavalry bumped into the infantry of the Song army, there was no chance, the casualties were heavy, when the defeat was set to escape, and was chased and killed by the cavalry of the Song army, more than 20,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, and there were more than 5,000 war horses captured, these horses were all given by the Jinren, all of them were high-quality horses, because they were obtained on the battlefield, according to the usual practice, they were naturally owned by Yue Fei's army, so that the cavalry weight of the Yuejia army could be increased, and the mobility and combat effectiveness would be greatly increased, how could not make everyone happy.

According to the news of the pedestrian division, since last year, the Jin people are very heavy on the defense near Luoyang, in addition to increasing the number of troops in the states near Huangguan, repairing the city wall, in Luoyang and Kaifeng also set up horse supervisors, increase the number of war horses on the spot, Luoyang horse supervisor has more than 10,000 horses, Kaifeng horse supervisor also has this number, intended to be used to gradually enrich the cavalry, who knew that Yue Fei suddenly killed, Li Cheng lost most of the main force of the pseudo-Qi in a battle, which is equivalent to giving these war horses with both hands.

When the weather was just dark, because of the fatigue of the battle, Yue Fei decided not to return to the camp, and the army stayed in the enemy camp, sent a small number of cavalry back to the camp to guard, and sent an order to go down, ordering all armies to raise fires and cook, and reward the soldiers of the three armies. After a while, a crescent moon rose, the clear moonlight sprinkled in the bustling barracks, the aroma of the meal began to drift along the breeze in the barracks, all the soldiers were smiling, in front of the officer in charge of the meritorious service to tell their daytime merits, after seeing the record in the notebook, they went to receive the meal happily, gathered in twos and threes, telling the story of the day's war, there are also those who lost their friends, although the expression is gloomy, but it is silently explained the merits of their friends one by one, In order to strive for more benefits for comrades-in-arms when the government provides relief and rewards in the future. There are also people who have made very little meritorious service during the day, so they hide in the corner, wipe the weapons in their hands, and secretly make up their minds to make more meritorious contributions in the next war.

If in the past, when the Song army was in war, it still constrained the army with national righteousness and military discipline, at this time, although the tradition of awarding military merits in the Qin Dynasty was not fully restored, but many additional rewards and incentive systems were added, so that every soldier could feed his family, and as long as he made contributions on the battlefield, he could make his family worry about food and clothing. In this way, the army's ability and courage to fight have increased exponentially, and it is not at all the same as in the past.

Yue Fei, as the commander-in-chief, ordered the generals to arrange the details, and he didn't care about eating, so he first met with a few captured enemy generals in the tent, and asked the enemy army that there was no formation near Luoyang, and then inspected the whole camp, comforted the wounded soldiers, arranged for the front army and the Chinese army to rest earlier, and ordered the two armies to attack Luoyang and nearby prefectures and counties tomorrow.

When the army had settled down, most of the soldiers had dinner, returned to the tent to rest, and snored loudly, Yue Fei took Yue Yun and other henchmen and returned to the camp tent arranged for him.

Only then did he feel tired and aching. Although he did not personally visit the enemy in front of him on this day, he was running back and forth, observing the enemy's situation, issuing orders, and even a few times when the enemy was approaching, he was ready to go into battle with the enemy in person, but at the end of the day, he was also exhausted.

When he looked back at Yue Yun, he saw that his son was pale, and he was also crumbling on a war horse, he knew that Yue Yun was in danger today, and he was desperately fighting and being helped by Yang Zaixing in order to break out of the encirclement, so it must be a physical overdraft and difficult to support. On the surface, he has always been strict with Yue Yun, but in fact, he loves Yue Yun very much in his heart, and when he saw Yue Yun like this, he waved his hand and ordered: "You go to rest by yourself, I don't want you to serve here." ”
