Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 106: Follow the army to Huazhou

After Yue Fei and others drove the Jin army back to Henan, they returned to clean up the battlefield and counted the casualties. In the melee, more than [-] of the [-] cavalry were lost, and the rest of the soldiers were slightly damaged. There were more than [-] captured Jin soldiers. More than a thousand people were beheaded, more than [-] good horses were obtained, and countless weapons and flags were obtained.

When Yue Fei and others presented the captured Jin soldiers, horses and weapons to Liu Hao's tent, Liu Hao was shocked again and asked him about the battle situation, how Yue Fei would encounter the Jin soldiers, and how he would set up an ambush to defeat the Jin soldiers. To elaborate, I heard Liu Hao praise him again and again, saying: "Peng Ju's talent is far above mine, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future!"

After Liu Hao counted the prisoners and the military supplies obtained, he went up to the table to ask for credit for Yue Fei and others.A few days later, His Royal Highness King Kang ordered Yue Fei to be transferred to Baoyi Lang, and the other brothers were all replaced by Xin Lang, and they were also rewarded with gold and silk.

Within a few days, Yue Fei upgraded several levels, and Liu Hao put more emphasis on him.At this time, King Kang had already recruited enough troops in Xiangzhou, and ordered the garrison troops from all states to raise troops to rescue Bianjing.Liu Hao's troops were sent as vanguards to go south to explore the way for the army. Yue Fei and other brothers also followed the army.

Liu Hao led his army to Huazhou. A few miles away from the city, he saw the Jin Army flag on the city from a distance. Liu Hao quickly ordered the army to be on guard and went all the way to the north bank of the Grand Canal.

At this time, the Jin army in the city also got the news. Seeing that the Song army was strong, they had already been heavily guarded. They set up resistance horses on the south bank of the canal. The Jin army archers were everywhere in the city. As soon as the Song soldiers crossed the river, they would attack halfway across the river. .

Liu Hao looked at the Jin army's formation and knew that if he wanted to cross the river, he would suffer heavy losses, so he had no choice but to order the army to camp on the north bank to wait for a good opportunity.At the same time, they called for formation every day to lure the golden soldiers out of the city to attack, but the shouts and curses of the golden soldiers in the city fell on deaf ears, and they only took turns to defend the city every day.

For several days, the Jin soldiers just stood firm. Liu Hao was anxious and discussed countermeasures with the generals.Everyone said that this battle would not be easy. The canal was wide and there was only one stone bridge to cross it. However, the bridge was narrow. If they were to attack by force, it would be difficult to avoid being shot down by bows and arrows from the city.If they use boats to cross the river, the Jin soldiers will definitely attack from the city while the army is crossing the river, and they will also suffer countless losses.Liu Hao asked everyone, but they all said it was difficult to cross and there was nothing he could do.

Just when Liu Hao was distressed, he suddenly found Yue Fei sitting in the corner silently, his brows furrowed, looking thoughtful, so he asked: "Does Peng Ju have any good ideas?"

Yue Fei also discovered the problem in the past few days. The key is to lure the Jin soldiers out of the city. However, unless the Song army crosses the river, the Jin army will never come out of the city to fight.Yue Fei thought about it carefully and found that unless the canal was frozen, neither seizing the bridgehead nor crossing the river by boat would be a good idea. "It's freezing?" Suddenly a flash of light flashed through him. He had been patrolling along the river in the past few days, and he could clearly feel that the north wind was getting stronger recently. There seemed to be some moisture in the air, and there were clouds for days, which was a sign of snowfall.Therefore, when Liu Hao was discussing with the generals, he was thinking about what would happen if the canal froze after the snow.

Hearing Liu Hao's inquiry, Yue Fei woke up from his deep thoughts and said: "Sir, I have been patrolling the river for the past few days. Looking at the sky, I can see that there has been snow recently, and it is already the middle of winter, and ice floes have been occasionally seen in the canal. If this is the case, If there is a heavy snowfall, the river will freeze and the army will be able to cross the river and attack."

Liu Haoqi asked: "Pengju also knows about celestial phenomena? He just doesn't know when the snow will fall. How sure is he?"

Yue Fei smiled and said: "There is no certainty about the celestial phenomena. Zhuge Kongming will not have the ability to call for wind and rain. However, according to my observation, there is a [-]% chance that the snow will fall within three days."

Liu Hao said with great joy: "The [-]% chance is not small. We have ordered all the battalions to prepare in advance and cross the river to attack when the river is blocked by heavy snow."

Seeing Liu Hao's happy expression, Yue Fei frowned and said, "Sir, don't be anxious, this matter still needs to be discussed."

Liu Hao asked doubtfully: "Is there something unexpected?"

Yue Fei said: "Back to your lord, back then Cao Mengde once said: 'Soldiers are unpredictable, and deceit is the way to go.' This attack must catch the Jin army by surprise. If the canal freezes, two strategies can be used to deal with it based on the reactions of the Jin soldiers." . First, if the Jin soldiers come to attack the city, our army can take advantage of the situation to defeat the enemy and seize Huazhou. Second, if the Jin soldiers strictly guard the city, or only send out a small number of soldiers and horses to prevent our army from crossing the river, then we can wipe out all the enemies and retreat behind to prevent them from crossing the river. Our army was pursued by the enemy after crossing the river, and only a small number of troops and horses were left to confront it. The army should immediately transfer to Daming Mansion, meet with Deputy Commander Zongze, and then plan the big plan. If God does not let me, and there is no snow to fall, then the army will We have no choice but to leave here and go to Daming Mansion."

Seeing that Yue Fei's analysis was very clear and logical, Liu Hao couldn't help nodding in approval, so he ordered each battalion to follow Yue Fei's plan.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the second day, the sky was covered with clouds and the north wind became more and more fierce. Yue Fei thought to himself, it seems that the sky has not failed me, and snow is indeed coming.In the evening, snowflakes began to fall. After nightfall, heavy snow fell like goose feathers. On the third day, it continued until late at night, when the clouds gradually receded and the sky became clear.

When Yue Fei came outside the camp, he saw heavy snow falling for more than two feet, up to his knees.Yue Fei was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly dived to the canal to test the ice with rocks. He found that the canal had completely frozen that night, and hurriedly reported back to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao ordered his soldiers to prepare secretly and wait until daybreak to cross the ice across the river. He also ordered Yue Fei to lead a hundred cavalry in his camp to clear the way for the army. The generals followed the order and left.

When the sky is dim, the morning sun shines on the snow, reflecting the snow in dark red.In the Song army's camp, Yue Fei had gathered hundreds of horses and tied felt on the horses' hooves to prevent the horses from slipping on the ice. Then he led hundreds of horses to the canal to clear the way, and Liu Hao's army followed.

When they came to the canal, Yue Fei was leading the people to the river. Suddenly there was a drum sound on the city head, the city gate opened wide, and two gold generals led more than a thousand gold soldiers and rushed towards the Song army with shouts.Tang Huai on the side said: "The Jin people are powerful, and the ice surface is slippery. How about temporarily avoiding their front?"

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "Although there are many golden soldiers, we don't know whether we are real or not. We are probably worried about an ambush attack and dare not advance rashly. At this time, we will attack with our troops and we will be able to defeat them!" After saying this, he clamped the white dragon colt under his crotch, He straightened up his Liquan gun and rushed towards Jin Jiang.The brothers were afraid that he would make a mistake, so they quickly followed him with their troops.

Although Bai Longju was brave, the ice was slippery and was not conducive to galloping. Seeing a golden general in front of him, Yue Fei was about to fire his gun, but Bai Longju slipped with his front foot and fell to the ice. Instead, he pinned Yue Fei's right leg. .The Jin general was overjoyed and quickly raised his sword to chop Yue Fei. The brothers behind him were shocked when they saw this and came to the rescue. Unfortunately, they were out of reach and could only watch as the Jin general slashed Yue Fei with his sword.

At this critical moment, Yue Fei saw that the Liquan Spear could not be used, so he quickly threw away the gun in his hand, pulled out the Zhanlu Sword from his waist, and faced Jin Jiang's broadsword.There was just a "crack" sound, and Zhan Lujian and Jin Jiang's sword collided, and the sword was cut into two pieces like cutting tofu.

The golden general did not expect that Yue Fei had such a sharp edge, so he slashed down with his broadsword. He was momentarily unbalanced and bumped into Yue Fei with his whole body. However, Yue Fei took advantage of his momentum and swept across with his Zhanlu Sword, cutting off his head and flying several feet straight. Only the headless corpse hit Yue Fei's body, and the hot blood in his chest spilled all over Yue Fei.

At this time, another Jin general had also arrived. Yue Fei also climbed up from the white dragon colt, watched the enemy coming, swept up a cloud of white snow with the wide tip of the Liquan gun, and hit the general in the face.Seeing that the opponent's eyes were mesmerized, Yue Fei jumped up and swept away the snow with a move of a millstone. He was about to be swept off his horse, and he was killed with another shot.Then he pulled up the white dragon colt, jumped on the horse's back, and charged into the golden soldiers.

When all the Jin soldiers saw that their general had been killed, a bloody man jumped on his horse and charged in with incomparable bravery. The Song Army cavalry behind them also charged all the way and found it difficult to resist, so they were so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat.When they reached the south bank, Yue Fei's cavalry became even more powerful and killed all the golden soldiers until they left their helmets and armor behind and their bodies were lying on the ground.
