Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of Kaifeng

The Iron Cavalry and Fire Guns lying in ambush outside the city appeared around the enemy army as if they appeared out of thin air! This situation was completely unexpected by Sosuke Wanyan.

"Handsome! Our wings are exposed! When Liu Lin saw the cavalry appear, his heart sighed.

Wanyan Zongfu looked left and right, and sneered, "There are thousands of people, just want to attack and defeat me left and right?" It's like a grasshopper shaking a tree. Around! The hoplites are in front of the mouth, and the archers are ready! ”

After receiving his orders, the main army quickly changed its formation, with heavy infantry at the front, to guard against the enemy's cavalry charge.

The archers draw their bows and wait for them to reach the desired distance before shooting at them.

But Wanyan Sosuke and Liu Lin seem to have ignored the Fire Gun Team! And that's the main reason for their imminent rout!

Generally speaking, the odd soldiers outflanked the enemy from the left and right flanks, with the cavalry going up first, opening a gap, followed by the archers, and finally the infantry.

However, Yue Fei did not copy the strategy in the military book, but followed Zhao Yingluo's suggestion and placed the fire gun team in front of the two armies.

As Yue Fei's signal flag waved, the two thousand firecrackers hidden behind the city wall opened fire in unison, and the iron sand rained down on the golden soldiers. The formation of the golden soldiers collapsed in an instant under the onslaught of the firecrackers, and the golden soldiers who were hit by the firecrackers fell down one after another, while the golden soldiers who couldn't dodge were beaten by the iron sand and broke their heads and bled out, and the screams came and went.

Wanyan Zongfu watched in astonishment as his army collapsed instantly, and his heart felt sad. He never imagined that Yue Fei would use such a way to deal with him. Puzhou City, which he thought he could easily take, has now become his nightmare.

Yue Fei was overjoyed when he saw that the Fire Gun Team had successfully disrupted the formation of the Jin soldiers. He waved his banner and motioned for the cavalry and infantry to attack. Following his order, Yue Fei's iron cavalry rushed out of the city like lightning and met the golden soldiers. And the infantry followed, rushing out of the city gates in an orderly manner.

The Jin soldiers were already in disarray under the onslaught of the Musketers, unable to organize an effective resistance. The attacks of the iron cavalry and infantry made them even more unable to parry, and they were defeated one after another.

Wanyan Zongfu saw that the general trend had gone, and there was a burst of despair in his heart. He never imagined that he would be planted in front of this small Puzhou City. He sighed helplessly and waved the flag to signal the army to retreat.

With the waving of Wanyan Zongfu's command flag, the Jin soldiers began to retreat slowly. They did not care about the wounded soldiers and the soldiers who died in battle, and fled from Puzhou City in disarray.

Yue Fei led the army in pursuit, and chased dozens of miles before collecting troops and returning to the city. In this battle, the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Yue Fei won a great victory with only a few hundred cavalry.

Back in the city, Yue Fei ordered people to count the battlefield and count the results. In this battle, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties and captured more than tens of thousands, while Yue Feifang only had more than 1,000 killed.

Yue Fei successfully resisted the attack of the Jin soldiers and won the battle of Puzhou City. When the news reached the Southern Song court, Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed, rewarded Yue Fei's merits, and appointed him as the envoy of Hebei.

However, Yue Fei knew that the Jin soldiers would not stop there, and they would definitely attack again. Therefore, he decided to use the remaining time to strengthen the fortifications of Puzhou City and improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

In order to ensure the safety of Puzhou City, Yue Fei first strengthened the fortifications of the city wall. He ordered his soldiers to raise the walls, fortify the gates, and build turrets and urns. At the same time, he also increased the number of guards on the city walls and ordered the soldiers to strengthen their training and improve their combat effectiveness.

In addition, Yue Fei also ordered the soldiers to collect information on the Jin soldiers and grasp their movements. He learned that the Jin soldiers had long supply lines, and due to the hot weather, their combat effectiveness would be affected to a certain extent. So, Yue Fei decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go out of the city again to attack Jin Bing.

Under the command of Yue Fei, the Song army once again went out of the city to attack the Jin soldiers. They took advantage of the weakness of the Jin soldiers, who were exhausted and their combat effectiveness was declining, and launched a fierce attack. The Jin soldiers were defeated and retreated under the onslaught of the Song army, and were chased by the Song army for dozens of miles.

In this battle, the Song army won again. The Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the Song army suffered only a few hundred wounded soldiers. Back in the city, Yue Fei ordered people to count the battlefield and count the results. In this battle, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties and thousands were captured, while the Song army suffered only a few hundred wounded.

After this battle, Yue Fei was even more firm in his judgment. He understood that although the Jin soldiers had strong military strength, their combat effectiveness was not as strong as they imagined. As long as they can use the right tactics and strategies, the Song army has every chance to defeat the Jin soldiers.

So, Yue Fei began to plan the next attack. He sent people to inquire about the intelligence of the Jin soldiers and understand their deployment and dynamics. At the same time, he also stepped up the training of his soldiers, improving their combat skills and reaction speed.

After a period of preparation, Yue Fei decided to go out of the city again to attack the Jin soldiers. He ordered his soldiers to go out of the city at night to avoid being discovered by the Jin soldiers. In the dark night, the Song army marched quietly and soon came to the vicinity of the Jin soldiers' camp.

Yue Fei ordered a squad to attack first to attract the attention of the Jin soldiers. With the attack of the squad, the camp of the golden soldiers instantly became chaotic. Seeing that the time had come, Yue Fei personally led the main force to attack. The Jin soldiers were powerless to fight back under the onslaught of the Song army, and were defeated by the Song army.

In this battle, the Song army once again achieved a major victory. The Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the Song army suffered only a few hundred wounded soldiers. Back in the city, Yue Fei ordered people to count the battlefield and count the results. In this battle, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties and thousands were captured, while the Song army suffered only a few hundred wounded.

However, Yue Fei knew that Jin Bing would not stop there. They are bound to attack again, and Puzhou City is facing an even more severe test. So, he decided to strengthen the fortifications and increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in order to cope with the next battle.

In the months that followed, Yue Fei worked day and night to train his soldiers and improve their fighting qualities. He understood that only elite soldiers could resist the attack of the Jin soldiers. In addition, he continued to strengthen the fortifications of the city wall, adding arrow towers and urn castles to improve the fortification of the city walls.

On a summer night, Yue Fei led a rigorously trained Song army out of the city to meet the enemy. They took advantage of the weakness of the Jin soldiers who came from afar and were sleepy and lacking horses, and launched a fierce attack. The Jin soldiers were unable to organize effective resistance under the onslaught of the Song army, and were scattered and fled by the Song army.

In this battle, the Song army once again achieved a complete victory. The Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the Song army had only a few dozen killed. Back in the city, Yue Fei ordered people to count the battlefield and count the results. In this battle, the Jin soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties and thousands were captured, while the Song army only had dozens of people killed.

However, Yue Fei knew that Jin Bing's strength had not been completely weakened because of this. They are bound to attack again, and Puzhou City is facing an even more severe test. So, he decided to continue to strengthen the fortifications and improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in order to cope with the next battle.
