Chapter 609: The Star Scattering Array and the Kidnapping Horse
Yue Fei's route was almost exactly the same as the route of Wanyan Zongwang's original southward journey, when Wanyan Zongwang led his army from Pingzhou to attack Yanshan Mansion, Yizhou's general Han Minyi surrendered, and then defeated the Song army at Baihe and Gubeikou; Two days later, Guo Yaoshi surrendered, and the defense of Yanshan Mansion collapsed; Soon, 30,000 reinforcements from Song Zhongshan were broken and approached Bianliang City.

And now, Guo Yaoshi, who was under the defense of Yanshan, has died in the hands of Yue Fei, and the Changsheng army under him has also died, and there are only some remnants of the Changsheng army left in the local area, as well as those generals who surrendered to the Jin State to defend, at most plus a few Jin generals and the servant army of various departments in Liaodong, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
So Yue Fei marched all the way from Zhongshan, and in the tenth month he forced to the vicinity of Yanshan Mansion, where he finally encountered the decent resistance of the Jin soldiers, and Wanyan Chang gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to block in front of him, Yanshan Mansion can be said to be the throat of Liaodong in the north, and there is really no room for error, he must block Yue Fei here no matter what.
"General Yue, after Yan Chang's handsome soldiers left Yanshan Mansion and are forcing us here, it seems that he is planning to fight us to the death outside the city." After the young Yu Yunwen has been trained in martial arts and marched these days, he is no longer the weak scholar he was at the beginning, and his face is even more heroic.
"The Jin people are not good at defending the city, if they are trapped in Yanshan Mansion City by our army, they will lose the advantage of the cavalry, and this time the heavenly soldiers did not follow us and wait for the north, maybe Yan Chang thought that he could pick up a bargain." Liu Qi sneered and said, because Wu Jue, Wu Lu and Han Shizhong also had the experience of serving in the Western Army, so they sent the two of them to the Song Army on the Western Road, and Liu Qi and Yu Yunwen naturally came under Yue Fei.
"That's fine, Gongda City will be more troublesome after all, since Wanyan Chang has given up the benefits of defending the city, and wants to fight with us and other field battles, then Ben will be as he wishes." The majesty on Yue Fei's face has become more and more these days, and although he is young, he already has the demeanor of a general, "Then how many people are there in Yan Chang?" What classes are there? ”
"Wan Yanchang commanded about 30,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 cavalry, most of them are Jurchens, 20,000 foot soldiers, it seems that there are both the remnants of the victorious army, the surrender of the Liao army, and the barbarians of various departments in Liaodong, these infantry were used as cannon fodder at that time, and the decisive victory depends on the 10,000 cavalry." Yu Yunwen quickly laid out the number of golden soldiers, their types and the marching route on the map.
"The habit of fighting with the Jin people is that I am afraid that we will put 20,000 infantry in the middle army, and 10,000 cavalry will be divided into left and right sides, with infantry as the main army, and relying on the cavalry on the left and right flanks to make roundabout flank attacks, so as to outflank and surprise us." These are the usual tactics of the Jin soldiers, whether it is the Liao army or the previous Song army in the Jin soldiers this offensive mode of defeat returned, this tactics in later generations also have a resounding reputation, called "kidnapping horses", but unfortunately this time they met the nemesis Yue Fei of the "kidnapping horse".
Although the 20,000 Song troops led by Yue Fei are not as good as the Yue family army, Wan Yanchang's "kidnapping horse" also cannot be compared with the one trained by Jin Wushu in the future.
"Pass the order down, light a fire to cook, strictly guard against the camp, and fight to the death with the Jin soldiers tomorrow." Yue Fei didn't even mention the battle plan, how to deal with the "kidnapping horse" had been deduced countless times in martial arts, whether it was him, Liu Qi, or Yu Yunwen, they were already familiar with it, and they only needed to act according to the fixed routine when the time came.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, the army went out of the camp and slowly forced towards Wan Yanchang's army, and Wan Yanchang also gathered all the troops to meet him very cooperatively, just as Yue Fei and others thought, Wan Yanchang put 20,000 infantry in the middle, and put 5,000 cavalry on each wing, trying to defeat the Song army by means of outflanking the two wings.
After a few rounds of probing on both sides, Wan Yanchang waved his army to launch a fierce attack, and a total of 10,000 cavalry on both wings drew an arc, rolling towards the Song army like a violent wind, while the infantry in the middle was steadily pressing towards them under the leadership of Wan Yanchang, as long as the cavalry on both wings disrupted the formation of the Song army, these infantry would pounce on them and harvest their lives.
"Scatter!" Seeing the cavalry galloping forward, Yue Fei did not form a formation to meet the enemy like the previous Song army, but did the opposite, scattering the team that was originally based on Shiwu as a unit and covered with stars, and all of a sudden the Song army was scattered all over the mountains, so that the Jin soldiers' abducted horses lost the target of attack.
These cavalry in a row must disperse if they want to continue to pursue the enemy, and the scattered cavalry loses the impact of the array and falls into a single fight, which is extremely unfavorable to the Jin soldiers.
"Gather!" When the "kidnapping horse" retreated, Yue Fei waved the flag again, and the Song army, which was still scattered like stars in the night sky, gathered together again, leaving Wan Yanchang with no chance.
"Rush!" In desperation, Wan Yanchang once again commanded the cavalry to outflank, and the Song army dispersed again to evade, and if it was repeatedly, the Jin soldiers and horses were consumed too much, and the pace of the sprint seemed to slow down.
"This is the time!" Seeing this, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and Yu Yunwen's eyes lit up at the same time, and the banner of the Chinese army immediately changed, this time the cavalry of the Jin people wanted to retreat again, but it was not so easy, and the soldiers who were scattered when the "kidnapping horse" retreated gathered again, but this time it was not just a formation like before, they pounced on the enemy, and used knives to cut the horse's legs, and the Jin cavalry surrounded by the Song army was in a panic for a while, and the horses kept neighing and falling to the ground, leaving the cavalry in the north off their horses, and then beheaded by the Song army.
The "Kidnapping Horse" that once made the Liao and Song people frightened was easily defeated by Yue Fei's infantry, and Yu Yunwen praised it, "General Yue's 'Star Scattering Array' is really extraordinary. ”
This is the martial arts taught in the infantry to defeat the cavalry of the tactics - "scattering the star array", which was created by Yue Fei and gathered the martial arts people to perfect the details, and now this is the first time that the "scattering star array" has appeared on the battlefield, but I don't want to win a big victory so easily.
"Now that the two wings of the golden soldiers have been lost, it is our turn to attack." Yue Fei had no time to pay attention to these, he raised the spear in his hand high and commanded the morale-boosting Song army to force towards Wan Yanchang.
In this battle, the Song army broke the "kidnapping horse" with the "Star Scattering Array", the 30,000 Jin army was almost completely wiped out, Wan Yanchang died in the chaos, and Yue Fei became famous all over the world in the first battle. (To be continued.) )
