In May of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei besieged Yuncheng on the fifth day

Calculating the time, the reinforcements of the Golden Vulture should be coming soon.

As the red sunset receded, the Song army sounded its horn and withdrew its offensive front. The battle in the past five days was not fierce, and if Yue Fei and the others attacked strongly, they could have taken it yesterday. But the current situation is to attract the main force of Jin Bing to come over and open up the situation for the other two main forces.

Once Yuncheng is breached, the Jin army will inevitably slow down its march. Therefore, the hope of the Jin soldiers must be left to flank the front and back, and only in this way will they reach Yuncheng in the shortest possible time.

Jin Wushu was too proud, he thought that Yuncheng was impregnable and would definitely be able to defend until the arrival of the Jin soldiers. But he ignored the long-standing existence of rebel armies in the north, and there has always been a deeply hidden rebel army in Yuncheng. They had already made contact with Yue Fei, and as soon as Yue Fei started the Northern Expedition, they would join forces with the outside and capture Yuncheng. In addition, the morale of the Song army was booming at this time, and the destruction of Yuncheng had already made a doomed result.

Moreover, such a low-intensity war is the best place to polish recruits, and after five days of fighting, unqualified recruits have long been eliminated!

Yue Fei was at the peak of the Jin soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and it was really an invincible existence, even if there were only more than 100 horsemen, he dared to go straight to the camp of more than 10,000 Song troops. Even if the current Jin Bing has fallen partially, it is very terrifying. Especially the Jin soldiers stationed in Bianliang, they are really the absolute elite of the Jin Kingdom in the north of the Central Plains. Therefore, it is necessary to train the troops, otherwise even if Shunchang is captured, it will be difficult to hold it.

All the generals had a tacit understanding of this, and they unanimously added some recruits to the combat ranks. With five days of continuous fighting, these recruits already had a ruthless look in their eyes, and their movements were not as slow as when they first entered the battlefield. Although there is still a gap with Jin Bing, it is much better than Song Bing in other places.

Yue's army is good at conquest, and even better at training!

Liu Chan, who was in Kyoto, was still enjoying the fun, and he didn't care about anything on the front line. At present, any information that Yue Fei has received is from Zhao Ding's letters.

The civilian officials were staring at Yue Fei fiercely, and they really wanted to send a civilian official to monitor Yue Fei's army. Although Liu Chan is ignoring the government for the time being, Yue Fei knows that once something goes wrong in this Northern Expedition, he will definitely be restricted in the future.

Yue Fei is not as big as Liu Chan, and for him, the Northern Expedition is the most important thing. From the time he joined Zong Ze, he was moved by the spirit of Zong Ze's Northern Expedition, and he desperately wanted to recover the Central Plains, one was to serve the country, and the other was to fulfill Zong Ze's last wish.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Now that he has finally gotten this opportunity, he will definitely not let any accidents happen. He hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, and he kept speculating about the possible accidents of this Northern Expedition.

Different from his previous estimate, the north occupied by the Jin people was not only the rebel army in Yuncheng, but also everywhere. Moreover, since His Majesty ordered him to go on the Northern Expedition, he had received a succession of letters from rebel armies in various parts of the north, each of which asked them when they would revolt and when they would be able to recover the Central Plains.

Yue Fei burst into tears every time he read these letters, how bitter the life of those people in the north should be, and how intense the mood of looking forward to the Northern Expedition should be!

Therefore, His Majesty's expectations, the opposition of the court, and the expectations of the people, the pressure on Yue Fei seems to be a thousand catties. But his body still stood proudly, and it was not crushed in the slightest.

It was past midnight, but Yue Fei's tent was still brightly lit. At this time, a clerk walked in quickly: "General, the army of the Golden Vulture has been only two days away from here, and it is coming in our direction, and the leader is Zong Xian, the general under the Golden Vulture."

Yue Fei's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he snatched the information from the clerk's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and laughed: "Haha, okay." It's really nice that the person who came here wasn't a golden vulture. The order is that tomorrow the army will storm Yuncheng, and all the troops will attack with all their might, and it must be taken before the arrival of the Jin soldiers. Remember, don't let anyone out of the city, the news of the fall of Yuncheng will not be discovered until the arrival of the Jin soldiers. ”

The clerk understood what he meant, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, general." Yuncheng has been so surrounded that not even a fly can fly over. ”

"Wang Gui, where is Zhang Xian's side?" Yue Fei opened the map and asked

The clerk pointed to the map and said, "We have already arrived at Yingchang and Huaining according to the predetermined plan, as long as the Jin soldiers arrive in Yuncheng, they will immediately attack Yingchang and Huaining." General Han Shizhong has arrived in Haizhou to lead the Jin army in the east direction for us. ”

Yue Fei pondered and said, "Send a message to Wang Gui and Zhang Xian, ordering them to send troops the day after tomorrow. ”

The clerk pondered: "General, it's a bit early to attack the day after tomorrow. According to our estimates, the Jin army will attack Yuncheng as early as the day after tomorrow. The clerk is not only Yue Fei's cronies, but also occasionally helps Yue Fei come up with some ideas, and immediately reminded.

Yue Fei laughed and said, "You have to leave some time for Jin Wushu to hesitate, after all, we are the command center here, and Jin Wushu will definitely be entangled and unable to sleep." Whether to break Yuncheng in one fell swoop, or immediately return to Shunchang, this is really a difficult choice. ”

If Yuncheng is breached, the Song army's Northern Expedition will be defeated this time, and even the command center will be gone, how can they still fight? If you go back to Shunchang, although the cities around Shunchang will be captured, the main force of the Jin army left in Shunchang will be greatly preserved, and it will not be a good thing to regroup and fight again at that time.

The clerk smiled and said, "This person is too proud, I think he will definitely order someone to seize Yuncheng at all costs." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Hahaha, it's a coincidence, I think so too." ”

When the clerk left, Yue Fei looked at the dark night and said with a smile: "Golden Vulture Technique, I guess you would never have dreamed that this time I, the boss, was actually a bait. ”

In May of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei attacked Yuncheng. The next day, Yue Fei's general Wang Gui led 10,000 soldiers to attack Zhengzhou, and the next day, the city of Zhengzhou was broken and then moved to Luoyang; Zhang Xian and Yue Yun led the Beiwei army to attack Yingchang, Yingchang City surrendered without a fight, and then moved to Chenzhou!

On the first day of the sixth month of the eighth year of Shaoxing, the Jin soldiers came to help and found that the Song army had occupied Yuncheng, so they had no choice but to temporarily besiege Yuncheng. On the second day of the first month of June, the main striker of the Jin army was killed by Yue Fei with an arrow, and the Jin soldiers were frightened, and Zong Xian had no choice but to suspend the siege.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Wang Gui besieged Luoyang, and Zhang Xian besieged Chenzhou.

Luoyang, Chenzhou is in a hurry!

Once Luoyang and Chenzhou fall, then Shunchang will inevitably be in danger.

However, in just ten days, the bargaining chips of the Jin State for peace were all in the hands of the Song Dynasty, except for Shunchang. As for Huizong, I don't know who Huizong is.

When the golden vulture heard the news, he was furious. After killing dozens of people in a row, he couldn't relieve his anger, and Wanyan Zongqiang was also a little frightened when he looked at Jin Wushu from the side. Ever since Bianliang was breached, he hadn't seen Jin Wushu kill people like this for a long time. Immediately, he didn't dare to say anything. can only stand silently and be a transparent person.

It took a long time for Jin Wushu to calm down from his anger. looked at the eighth brother who was cowering, and scolded: "Go." Send a message to Zong Xian, ordering them to attack Yuncheng at all costs. Tell him that I must knock Yuncheng down within seven days. ”

Seven days! If Yuncheng cannot be captured within seven days, then the Jin soldiers must be quickly withdrawn to Shunchang. Otherwise, once Shunchang is captured, the Jin soldiers along the way will become a lone army.

Wanyan Zongqiang hurriedly replied, "Yes." Then he hurried down.

Jin Wushu called his generals again: "Let all the generals who stay in Shunchang gather, and those who do not arrive will be dealt with according to military law." He knew that he would be very responsible for sending troops this time, because he underestimated Yue Fei and the courage of the Song army here. But it definitely does not admit its own defeat. He is a fierce tiger, and the tiger has his own pride, and since he started his army from the Jin Kingdom, he has not been defeated all the way. Every general who claimed to be a hero of the Song army fell at his feet, and the rebel armies everywhere had long been wiped out by him. In his opinion, there is nothing remarkable about the Song Dynasty, and it can be destroyed with a backhand.

Even if Yue Fei and the others were menacing in the future, he didn't feel that he would be defeated at all. He ordered Zong Xian to storm Yuncheng in order to take out the command center of the Song army as soon as possible, and even if Luoyang was captured by then, they would be able to easily take it back.

Luoyang will be reclaimed, and the crisis in Shunchang will be lifted. As for those soldiers who died in battle, as long as it is a war, there will always be sacrifices, as long as it is not himself, it doesn't matter.

Wanyan Zongbi ordered all the generals to enter a state of war at once, and collected every surplus grain from Shunchang. Only a week's rations were reserved for the people, and the resoluteness of his attitude made the panic in Shunchang City disappear immediately.
