Chapter 135: Attack

Yue Fei's face was calm, he looked around at the generals, and after half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an order, and the generals will get up and listen." ”

With an uproar, hundreds of generals dressed in armor got up together and bowed solemnly, but they heard Yue Fei say again: "Order Yue Fei to transfer the department, recover Tang, Deng, Wan, and Luo, and recover Kaifeng. ”

This so-called holy order is just a simple sentence, but the content contained in it makes the blood of these generals boil. If the development of Biukou is based on a normal historical trajectory, it is absolutely impossible for this "Northern Expedition Order" to appear in the ears of the generals, countless hot-blooded men, from Yue Fei to Xin Qiji, have been in trouble all their lives, and the heroic style and heroism have been in vain, and Lu You's family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell Nai Weng's entrustment, and it is even more blood and tears.

After Yue Fei finished reading, everyone straightened their waists, clasped their fists and replied: "Obey the holy order, and the last general will wait for death to repay the service, and never live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

"Okay." Yue Fei's expression remained unchanged, and after everyone sat down again, he swept his eyes and saw that everyone was sitting awe-inspiringly, all of them were full of eagerness to try, and he was happy in his heart, so he said: "Everyone is very loyal and brave, I don't need to say more." In this Northern Expedition, our army is the main force, and the big husband serves the country, at this time! ”

Although he did not deliberately agitate, everyone was still excited, and immediately replied in unison: "Yes, please give the order to the general!" ”

"Sending troops from Xiangyang, Gao Xian led Tabai as the vanguard, directly attacked Caizhou, and captured Yingchang with the camera; Wang Gui and Fu Xuan generals, led the three armies on the right flank, and attacked Chenzhou; I led the Chinese army to respond in the rear, and after breaking the main force of the pseudo-Qi, the camera captured the old capital of Kaifeng! ”

Such a tactical arrangement, in fact, the generals have long known about it, at this time Yue Fei ordered it, everyone was not surprised, and the generals named by him immediately got up and obeyed the order.

As for the rest of the details, naturally, some staff officers had already drawn up orders and sent them down to the generals one by one, and they were in the hands of the generals in an instant. Each of them has already set his own route of march, the target of the attack, and even the troops who are responsible for supplying them, and they have their own orders as to where to build warehouses, and how many people need to be requisitioned to build roads, carry food, ordnance, and other materials.

Dozens of staff officers were waiting for them to be led by Li Ruoxu. After the plan was issued and silently retreated to the side, Yue Fei saw clearly on the side, he had led more than 30,000 troops in previous battles, and this time he led an army of 100,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into several roads, among which there were many problems that he had not experienced, such as the distance between the various departments and the speed of echoing. Transmission of orders. Logistical supplies, injury management, until tonight, he had little to worry about. If before. Tens of thousands of people set up camp, most of them followed his banner, ordered to fight, and there was no special complication.

And the entire army has grown and grown to this time, and the staff officers of all departments have adhered to the orders of the Cardinal's Military Department to develop a complete set of methods, and when Yue Fei saw this time, he knew that the march and command of more than 100,000 troops were originally more complicated than back then. It is also more necessary to act carefully, and Li Ruoxu usually does not see him, but at this time, he realized that this person is not only thoughtful and has excellent opinions, but also far above ordinary people when he does practical things.

He was originally full of worries, and as the main general, the pressure was naturally far greater than that of ordinary people, and at this time. I only felt that the officers and men were loyal, brave and strong, and the officers at all levels were outstanding and had their own talents, and many staff officers, logistics, military law, medicine, and other officers saved him a lot of worries as a chief general.

In this way, I only feel full of pride and confidence.

He gestured slightly, and the soldiers around him stepped forward in turn, handed the wine bowl to the generals, and then filled the wine bowl. Yue Fei held a bowl in his hand, looked at the generals, and said warmly: "Some of you have followed me for many years, and they followed me when I was still scattered, and they were still my fellow countrymen, so there is no need to say anything." The rest of the generals, there are other subordinates assigned to me to command, and there are also those who have surrendered to Cheng, but as long as they are under the command of my Yue, there is only the principle of treating everyone equally, and there is no such thing as coming first and then coming, you say, isn't it? ”

Even if Zhao Huan is tough, it is impossible to reform the habits of thousands of years at once, and the large army of hundreds of thousands of people, not only can not all the soldiers come from one place, but the generals of each department can not all be from the township party, so it is inevitable that they will have to form gangs and factions in peacetime, and form small mountains by region, and Yue Fei, as the main general, will naturally treat his Tangyin Township Party more thickly, which is understandable. However, in terms of military affairs and rewards and punishments, Yue Fei can indeed achieve clear rewards and punishments, and will never be more generous and less punished because of his fellow villagers and old troops, so that the new generals are naturally convinced, and Yue Fei's personality charm is far beyond that of the rest of the senior generals, and the whole army is naturally more cohesive than the rest of the armies.

After hearing Yue Fei's questioning, all the generals said in unison: "What the marshal said is true, and the last general and others are all convinced." ”

"Good!" Yue Fei said loudly: "Everyone drink this cup, this time to attack the Central Plains, to restore the old capital, I am a martial artist, the country will raise me for a thousand days, only in this dynasty, dare not do your best to serve, only death?" ”

He paused, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have long quit drinking, but today this wine must be drunk, after the recovery of Kaifeng, drink another glass, and when you go straight to the Huanglong Mansion in the future, you will drink another bowl, and I will make an agreement with you today!" ”

After that, he raised his neck and drank bitterly, and a bowl of wine fell in an instant, and when the generals saw him drink it all, they all raised their bowls and drank it all.

After Wang Gui and others received the order and returned, at dawn on the second day, the whole army also set off, crossing the river in advance to find fighters.

Two days later, the rest of the armies were already in place, and Yue Fei personally led the main force of about 60,000 people, pulled out the camp, crossed the river and went north.

His main force is also the most elite part of the entire army, more than 20,000 cavalry, in addition to Tabai as the vanguard has already set off, there are also two cavalry teams of Youyi and Beiwei, opening the way in front of the formation, sentry to detect the enemy, and protect the two wings.

In addition to this elite cavalry that spent a lot of money and worked hard, the two armies of Xuanfeng and Shengjie, which were composed of 20,000 infantry and heavy infantry, were also in his own formation.

And the car formation formed by thousands of carts given by Zhao Huan alone is also in the army, and it also happens to play the role of transporting infantry armor, so it kills two birds with one stone.

The rest of the troops, there are a considerable number of sword players, in addition, is armed with a god arm crossbow, or an archer with a strong bow on his back, and dozens of huge bed crossbows also follow slowly, after improvement, bed crossbows can also be used in field battles, in the face of the enemy, these dozens of bed crossbows, enough to withstand the pressure brought by thousands of archers to the enemy.

It can be said that this ironclad torrent walking in the land of Jinghu Lake and driving towards the Central Plains is the elite of the entire Yue Fei's troops and horses, and it is also the elite of nearly 600,000 Song troops, and the success or failure of the entire Northern Expedition depends on it.

Yue Fei's garrison Xiangyang and Fancheng provinces, originally bordered with the pseudo-Qi, there was occasional contact in peacetime, and the small number of defensive troops deployed by the pseudo-Qi on the border were mostly collapsed at the touch of a button.

After more than ten days, Gao Chong's department had already captured Caizhou and Yingchang, and Wang Gui and others captured Chenzhou, and the two early troops formed a horn momentum, covering the two wings of Yue Fei's main formation, and although Yue Fei crossed the river late, he has not engaged the enemy until now, but the primary goal is to penetrate directly into Luoyang, and to cross the main force of the pseudo-Qi near the Luoyang battlefield.

At the beginning of Yue Fei's operation, the pseudo-Qi reacted very slowly, this was originally a dynasty established by an incomplete hematopoietic and congenital emperor, the puppet emperor Liu Yu was originally just the prefect of Jinan in the Song Dynasty, and his character was low, but in troubled times, he took refuge quickly, and won the favor of Zong Han, and overcame public opinion, after the fall of Zhang Bangchang, he was set up as the agent of the Central Plains and Shandong, as a buffer force between the Jin State and the Song Dynasty.

This person knew that he was not tolerated in the Song Dynasty, and after he became the emperor, he used all his strength to support himself, appointed many traitors, established the state capital and army, and after a few years, there were hundreds of thousands of troops to command, and the state capital was basically operating normally. It's just that he is only an emperor after all, once the Jin State fights, he has to send troops to help, and the food and salary are insufficient, so he has to increase his intention to loot, plus the lack of ability, and the prestige is even more negative, although he works hard to toss, it is just a paper paste, and in the battle with the Song Dynasty, there is basically no victory.

And with the strength of the pseudo-Qi, it was naturally unable to deal with the simultaneous attack of the Song army on the two quasi-thousands of miles of fronts along the river, alarming everywhere, failing everywhere, launched by Yue Fei's department, Han Shizhong and other departments also marched together in accordance with the agreement, and in more than ten days, the pseudo-Qi chickens and dogs jumped, lost the city and lost the land, and a small number of garrison Jin soldiers could not be imagined, so they had to retreat with the defeated army of the pseudo-Qi, and the camera moved.

At the same time, the Song army of Zhaguan also began to move, crossing several garrisons along the way, advancing to Luoyang, and in five or six days at most, he could join Yue Fei's main force.

Although the form is smooth, Yue Fei does not dare to take it lightly, now the attack is only the border garrison of the pseudo-Qi, and did not defeat its main force, not to mention that the main force of the Jin soldiers is also assembled in Yanjing and other places in Hebei, this is also a good time for the cavalry to use troops, the plains are rushing to help, from the main force of Jinjing, to the Central Plains battlefield, its forward only takes more than ten days, and the entire main force will not be more than a month.

Therefore, it has become a top priority to grasp the movements of the main force of the Jin soldiers, seize the time, and fight the main force of the pseudo-Qi before the arrival of the main force of the Jin soldiers.
