In June 243 of Daning, Hachi led the army out of Kaifeng and made a gesture of attacking Yingchang Mansion.

3 days later, Shang Gui, who got the news, led more than 40,000 Han troops and more than 20,000 Menghu cavalry and nearly 70,000 horses, starting from the two directions of Maozhou and Suzhou, entering Yingzhou, and surrounding Yingzhou Prefecture to govern Ruyin after 5 days, which was almost all the troops that Shang Gui could dispatch.

At the same time, Son Masayoshi of Huaixi led an army of about 50,000 to leave Gwangju and enter the border of Caizhou, with a posture of attacking the Xinyang army. At this time, everyone knew that the former anti-Hu pioneer and national hero Sun Zhengyi was no longer so righteous, and he actually became a traitor in the end, is there a real hero in this world? The conscientious and literate Han people wrote poems and lyrics to angrily scold Sun Zhengyi's despicable and shameless, hoping that the newly rising young heroes in western Beijing could wipe out these traitors and lackeys, and even the Jianning Imperial Court, which had never cared much about these, published an article in the newspaper criticizing Sun Zhengyi and supporting Lin Jianyue, and also ordered Guo Youting south of Huaishui to send troops to support Lin Jianyue.

Shang Gui looked at Ruyin City, which was surrounded by tall walls in front of him, and felt that everything was going according to plan.

The siege soldiers under the city shouted to the sky, that is, the movement was slow, and most of the city shot arrows to the sky, and the sound was not small, and the battle was a few days, but the people were not injured, as if it was not the combat power but the voice, when the hour came, they went back to their homes to eat and rest.

After only five days of siege, a large number of elite scouts sent by Shang Gui reported that Wu Yi of Chenzhou had led the main force of the Second Army of the Xinyang Army of more than 26,000 people out of Xiangcheng in Chenzhou to Qiu County.

Shang Gui was overjoyed after receiving the report, and immediately collected his troops and integrated the infantry brigade to meet Qiu County head-on, but ordered the 20,000 cavalry of the Hu people to slow down behind and monitor Wu Zhong's movements.

These are all very well thought, but I didn't expect that no matter how good the plan is, it can't be too thin and too slow, as soon as the timeline is extended, there will be many variables, and it is fighting in a guest place, there is no place to support, and getting accurate news will be delayed a lot, and I don't know that Lin Jianyue has led 30,000 Longjie Army, the strongest first army in the field, and 23,000 cavalry, who have been hiding more than 50 miles west of Qiu County for several days.

After receiving the news that Shang Gui had been killed from Ruyin, Lin Jianyue ordered Liu Hesheng to immediately lead the First Army to avoid the scouts and cross the predetermined battlefield and ambush on the east side of the battlefield, while he and Li Fei led the cavalry to advance southward in reverse.

On the way, as planned, he encountered the Second Army going north, and added 10,000 men specially transferred from Wang Lizheng's First Army to the Second Army to ensure that it could resist the impact of Hu Cai's breakthrough.

Wu Zhong did not personally lead the Second Army, but led more than 6,000 people who might have problems to follow Shang Gui's main force and officially began to implement the anti-war plan.

On a hill more than thirty miles southwest of Qiu County, Lin Jianyue looked at the Menghu cavalry roaring by in the distance, looked around and said with a smile: "This battlefield is always ever-changing, often a small thing will change the battle situation, Shang Gui is still very thoughtful, but he is not decisive enough, he does big things and spares his life, if he doesn't have to be prepared for everything, even if Wu Zhong ventilates in time, even if General Sun Zhengyi doesn't help him, at such a long distance, I can't surround him like now, with his troops, it's still okay to retreat." ”

Liu Bingyun was a little worried, not worried about the war in front of him, but about the marshal's anti-plan.

"Jieshuai, the anti-plan is good, but Jieshuai has been invincible since the battle, giving the world and his subordinates great confidence, if it is such a defeat, and it is not a real defeat, but it will inevitably reduce the prestige of Jieshuai, and it will have an impact on the future development and growth that cannot be underestimated, I am afraid that in the end it will do more harm than good."

Lin Jianyue shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, there has been no person who has won and been undefeated for a long time, like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, how many battles have he fought in his life, and the number of defeats is much more than when he won, and he has not won the world?" As long as it is stable at a critical time, even Li Shimin, the heavenly khan of the Tang Dynasty, has not failed without failure. Mr. Liu, it is actually a good thing to lose a few times now, we can find out what problems we still have, there is still a chance to correct and amend, enhance our resilience and ability to withstand defeat, if we lose the decisive battle with Menghu one day in the future, do we still have a chance to change and start over? ”

Han Yuheng, who forcibly asked to follow him in this battle, nodded and said: "Jie Shuai is very far-sighted, such a defeat, you can just see that there are still those people with two hearts in our house, and the combat effectiveness will be stronger in the future." However, I also have other worries, there are still many loopholes in the anti-inter-war plan, I am afraid that Son Zhengyi will not succeed in the anti-intermittent situation, and if the Hu people find out the clues, it will lose its meaning, and the loss will be great. This is a battle of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, there are many people, and there is a great possibility of revealing the stuffing, who can guarantee that their subordinates will not talk nonsense, who can guarantee that the Hu people will not have spies in us or in Sun Zhengyi's army, fake defeat must be taken seriously, it is not easy to hide from so many people, and there are also capable people among the Hu people. ”

Lin Jianyue pondered for a moment before nodding and said: "Mr. Han's words make sense, but this plan is currently only known to the highest levels of the army, how Sun Zhengyi implements it depends on whether he can deceive the Hu people, since he can think of this plan, he must be prepared, he was ready to do this when there was no me before, not to mention that now I have my cooperation?" I also thought about this problem, so I chose to start the plan in the big war, the atmosphere on the battlefield was tense, and the non-commissioned officers and junior officers below would only follow orders, and often the war would end before the enemy was engaged, and there was no time, energy, or energy to think about other things. Well, as I said just now, you can't think too much about any plan, and once it's decided, you should immediately implement it with all your might. The hour is coming, inform the whole army to prepare, let's cavalry against cavalry, and see how weak we can be compared to the world-famous Menghu elite cavalry? ”

Lin Jianyue put on the armor specially formulated for him, not to mention lightly, even his face was covered by a visor, only his eyes and air holes were exposed.

Lin Jianyue turned his head to see that Liu Bingyun and Han Yuheng were also wearing armor, but they were carrying a sword in their hands, and suddenly smiled: "The two gentlemen are scholars, and they are making suggestions and not competing for victory in front of the battle. This dress is not suitable for cavalry battles, it is better to take people on the mountain to watch us kill the enemy, don't make a mistake, then the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Han Yuheng said with a bitter face: "It's also good to block arrows." ”

Lin Jianyue shook his head, turned his head and roared.

In front of the entire quiet and solemn cavalry array, only Lin Jianyue's big black horse was leisurely grazing around, which looked so special and had the demeanor of a king, and its former owner, who had died a long time ago, would also feel honored in the sky because of his horse!

The big black horse heard the call of the master, and immediately galloped over, Lin Jianyue quickly turned over and got on the horse without waiting for its speed to slow down, pulled out the spear inserted in the middle of the front of the military formation, held a round shield, and galloped back and forth under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in front of the military formation, looking so heroic and invincible.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Tens of thousands of troops began to move neatly with this figure, and their momentum was overwhelming and invincible.

Liu Bingyun looked excited, and Han Yuheng burst into tears.
