Chapter 14 Mentoring
In fact, as Yue Fei judged, on the sixth day, the Jin army's attack was weaker than before, and it was not until near evening that an attack on the whole line was launched.
The Jin army unexpectedly attacked the city tower this time, but also quickly retreated. Then the Jin army camp, Zong Xian ordered the soldiers to clean up the camp at a very fast speed, and then led the Jin soldiers back to Shunchang. Looking at their speed, it is clear that there was a unified opinion yesterday.
In June of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Wang Gui led the army to conquer Luoyang and moved to Shunchang. Zhang Xian attacked Chenzhou, broke 30,000 troops, and was about to approach Shunchang. The two armies were only a few days away from Shunchang, and for a while, the situation in the north was changing, and everyone was watching the result.
Zong Xian's army marched much faster than it had come, with little rest along the way. Because Yue Fei personally led the troops to attack, only attacking and harassing in the periphery, once Zong Xian pressed out the main force, Yue Fei immediately retreated. Jin Bing could not rest every day, his body was exhausted, and his morale was completely lost.
In order to go back as soon as possible, Zong Xian's whole person began to become ruthless. He gathered all the remaining 3,000 Jin cavalry and did nothing, just used it to attack the pursuing Song army. Even if the mentality of these cavalry is broken, it is not something that the infantry can compete with. Fighting against it, Yue Fei could only charge with cavalry. However, after this battle, there were only about 1,000 cavalry left in the Jin army.
In addition, Yue Fei called on the rebel armies in the north to cooperate with the actions of the Song army, blockade all sources of information in Shunchang, and cut off the channels of communication between the Jin Wushu and the rear of the Jin State. The situation in the north has become a spark and is out of control.
In June of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei and Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and other generals successfully joined forces, and the Song army's morale was greatly boosted. The Jin soldiers withdrew to the city of Shunchang, and the army's morale was scattered.
Song army camp
"Hahaha, this battle is refreshing." Wang Gui laughed and said, it was really comfortable to be wholehearted. This is the first time Wang Gui has fought with Jin, so he doesn't have to worry about what moths are coming out of the rear.
There is no way, in the Song Dynasty, you not only have to worry about whether you will meet a god-like opponent, but also worry about whether you will meet a pig-like teammate.
"Indeed, Your Majesty's attitude towards the Northern Expedition this time is extremely resolute, and it is said that several ministers have advised Your Majesty to agree to peace, haha, but unfortunately all of them were blocked out of the palace by Your Majesty." Yue Fei also said with a smile.
Yue Fei is also the first time to have a special respect for His Majesty, no way, this time he fought one after another, His Majesty's attitude towards the main battle has not changed, it is really the most comfortable one Yue Fei has fought in so many years.
Zhang Xian reminded loudly: "In this way, the pressure on Your Majesty's Northern Expedition is not small. If we are defeated in Shunchang this time, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to compromise with those ministers who want to negotiate peace. Zhang Xian felt that the current generals were a little too excited, although the expected tasks were successfully completed, but Shunchang had not yet been captured.
These words made the camp tent calm down a bit, but before a moment, Yue Yun complained: "Uncle Xian, don't say anything frustrating." In the current situation, although our army cannot be 100 percent sure, it can at least have an eighty percent chance of taking Shunchang. What you said is too damaging to the morale of the military! ”
"Hey, you kid. I mean be careful with the Golden Vultures. Jin Wushu can't be underestimated, if he is broken out by Jin Wushu, the biggest credit for this battle will be gone. ”
"Capture the Golden Vulture Alive?" Yue Yun's eyes lit up, this seems to be quite powerful, and it is quite suitable for him.
Yue Fei slapped Yue Yun's head, his son really dared to think of anything. If the Golden Vulture was so easy to capture, how could so many Song troops be defeated at his hands. is still alive to capture the golden vulture, and he, the old man, only dares to think about it.
Immediately, he looked at the generals and said slowly: "Everyone knows the importance of this battle, once Shunchang is broken, then it will not be far from recovering the Central Plains." The people are looking forward to the victory of this battle, so all departments must cooperate closely, do not cause chaos, and cannot give the Golden Vulture any chance. ”
"Yes."
"Wang Gui, you lead your troops to attack from the south gate. Zhang Xian, you hit the west gate, and the rest of the generals will follow me to attack the east gate. Yue Fei arranged the pre-war plan, Yue Yun heard that there was no himself, and hurriedly said: "What about me, what about me?" ”
Yue Yun led the most elite Beiwei army of the Yue family army to fight this time, and it can be said that he was in the limelight for a while, and he was very happy. But before he could become proud, he saw the light cavalry led by his father. Then he was stunned, wondering if he was dazzled, he led the Yuejia army's most capable heavy cavalry back to fight and came back from a battle, and found that he couldn't beat the light cavalry that he originally looked down on. At that moment, Yue Yun wanted to lift the table.
He wanted to point at his father and complain: Don't be so rebellious, you are a light cavalry. The key is what does this make the soldiers of the Beiwei Army think, tell them that you were originally the most capable cavalry in the Yue family's army, but you went out with me and walked around, and became the second to fight? Then I guess the back army will tear themselves!
Yue Yun continued: "Father, let me go and attack the city, I will definitely be able to capture the Golden Vulture alive." “
Yue Fei ignored Yue Yun's rhetoric, but pointed to a small hillside three miles outside Shunchang City: "You led three thousand Beiwei troops to ambush here. ”
Yue Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Father, I want to go to the frontal battlefield. What kind of battle can be fought here, I'm going to fight the Golden Vulture. ”
"Nonsense!" Yue Fei was furious, he pointed to the map and said: "You can guard against the Jin army that has come over here, and 20,000 Golden Vulture will break through the encirclement, and at that time, you will ambush and annihilate the Golden Vulture here." ”
Okay, seeing that Yue Fei was angry, Yue Yun immediately lowered his head and agreed silently. In the Yue family's army, he feared and admired his father the most, not only could he fight, but also stood up. Coupled with the suppression of bloodlines, how could Yue Yun not be afraid of such a person.
In this world, there are no more terrible people than those who are able to fight with reason.
Today's night in Shunchang City is particularly quiet, and the wails of soldiers can be heard from time to time. Jin Wushu was still too optimistic, he thought that no matter what the circumstances, the Jin soldiers would always be invincible in the world. I have seen the garbage army of the Song army, and I have personally experienced that the Jin soldiers can maintain that invincible state. No one thinks he will fail, but reality has given him a hard slap. As soon as the Jin soldiers brought by Zong Xian entered the city, they closed their tired eyes, and they marched for seven consecutive days, and every day they could be harassed by a small group of Song troops, from day to night, without interruption, even if they were an iron man, they couldn't stand it.
What's more, the Jin Army's most elite cavalry of 5,000 people was actually less than 2,000 left. When Jin Wushu saw it, he pointed at Zong Xian's head and scolded: "How the fuck did you lead the army, you are fucking waste, can it be said that the waste is under my command." Five thousand cavalry, you only brought back a thousand horses, why don't you die. You still have the face to complain, but I didn't complain. ”
scolded for a quarter of an hour, and the scolded Zong Xian was about to cry. This general, who is not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, is about to cry when he can be scolded.
Zongxian's lieutenant smiled secretly in his heart, this is really similar.
However, Jin Wushu did not kill Zong Xian, but just asked him to reorganize the cavalry that had no heart, and the enemy was at present, and now he had to unite all the forces that could be united.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Jin Wushu tries, Jin Jun can't lift his spirits. After some fruitless work, Jin Wushu finally recognized the reality: the Jin army was about to be defeated.
Therefore, Jin Wushu now has only one thought: to lead the soldiers of Shunchang to escape from the encirclement!
