Chapter 468 The battle between Yue Fei and Wanyan Wushu
Yue Fei general Situ Heng welcomed into the military camp.
Situ Heng took out a summary report made by the Imperial City Department in the Jin Kingdom.
"Ship Yue, the Jin thieves have arranged an army of 200,000 on the western front. The commander is Wanyan Wushu. It is worth mentioning that Wanyan Wushu is known as the most capable general in the Jin Dynasty. Compared with Wanyan Zongwang, he is not inferior. He has 30,000 Tiefutu under his command!"
Yang Zaixing said on the side: "Is it the heavy armored cavalry that changed the past based on Dangxiang Iron Harrier?"
"Yes, we have conducted a special investigation on Tiefutu. Each Tiefutuo was wearing about 40 kilograms of armor, equipped with crossbow bows, sabers, and long spears. The knights were connected to horses. Basic people were killed and would not affect their impact."
"It's indeed very similar to the Iron Harrier."
Some of the people here have participated in the Battle of Destroying Xia that year. I still remember the battle head-on with Iron Harrier back then. It was a very arduous war.
Situ Heng said: "The most difficult thing is that the three people in Tiefutu are connected together, which increases their overall impact. If they resist head-on, there will be great risks."
He continued: "To be honest with everyone, the Jin thief knew that the Western Front was the most capable commander in the Song Dynasty, so he shot Wanyan Wushu."
He said this, and everyone present loved to listen to Yue Fei's horse by the way.
Yue Fei made his mark when the emperor first made a Northern Expedition to recover Yan Yun. It can be said that since Zi ascended the throne today, Yue Fei has made many achievements in the journey and has long been an important figure in the Song army.
The emperor only allowed victory but not defeat in this battle to destroy Jin, and had high hopes for Yue Fei.
The Jin Kingdom was a hard bone. The combat effectiveness of an army that the Jin Kingdom casually pulled out was stronger than that of Dangxiang and many times stronger than that of Goryeo.
The last time the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty fought on a large scale was the emperor's personal expedition eight years ago. At that time, the Song Dynasty could barely win because of people.
Ten times the number of people in the enemy has accumulated such a situation.
It has been eight years since the large-scale battle. Although the Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, many people are still unsure.
Yang Zaixing said aside: "So what about Tiefutu? All of my men in the Song Dynasty are men who are not afraid of death. Tie Yaozi is known as Dangxiang's god of protecting the country. Didn't it be crushed differently under my Song Dynasty Iron Cavalry!"
He said again: "Sir Yue, if you want to fight, the generals are willing to lead 30,000 people to destroy Wanyan Wushu's Tiefutu. If you can't do it, the generals are welcome to see you!"
His tone was strong and powerful, and his words made the tent excited.
It seems that even Situ Heng was infected: "That's right, so what about Tiefutu? I, the Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty, aren't just talking about it!"
"At present, Wanyan Wushu is stationed in Fengzhou. If you want to enter Shangjing from the western front, you must break through Fengzhou."
"Fengzhou is the largest military center in the west of the Jin Kingdom. There are many barbarian tribes there, and they have successively surrendered to the Jin thieves over the years. Now Wanyan Wushu has an army of 200,000, but they are still mobilizing those barbarian tribes."
In other words, the total strength of the Western Front is more than 200,000.
It seems that the Jin Kingdom is going to mobilize the whole country to confront the Song Dynasty this time.
Situ Heng continued: "It is worth mentioning that the Jin thieves have also established a musket camp. The current number of people is unknown. We have spent a lot of effort to get this information, but we have not obtained it."
Yue Fei naturally had some information.
The Bai army under Yue Fei's command is not a vegetarian, but its value is to collect the enemy's situation.
For example, the main force of the Jin army was stationed in Fengzhou, and Wanyan Wushu set up a net on the western front, waiting for the Song army to pass by.
This website is divided into three strongholds, centered on Fengzhou.
Fengzhou in the middle route attracted the Song army, and the left and right routes used surprise troops to attack, mainly kidnapped horses.
The biggest feature of the Jin Dynasty's war is that its cavalry is powerful, very flexible, has a very strong impact, and is highly unified in tactics, which can attack the opponent in a round as fast as possible.
Now that the Song army is attacking the Jin Dynasty, the battlefield is on the grassland again, and this is the home ground of the cavalry.
Yue Fei decided to use cavalry to counter Wanyan Wushu's left and right routes, and advance to Fengcheng with the main force of infantry.
To capture Fengcheng, infantry must rely on.
In fact, there are not so many difficulties in fighting against Tiefutu. We must not use cavalry to fight head-on. There were also heavy cavalry in the Song Dynasty, but fighting head-on with Tiefutu is obviously the worst way.
The key to destroying the Iron Pagoda lies in the infantry.
Yue Fei had a scheming in his mind.
The Northwest Infantry Corps is the strongest with Liu Qi's army.
Liu Qi himself was very strong when fighting. When he attacked Xia, his army was defeated without any defeat. He fought the most steadily among several armies.
This is very consistent with the image of infantry.
The infantry in the Song Dynasty were basically heavy armored infantry, and the combat power of infantry armor was extraordinary, and it was used to perfection in Liu Qi's hands.
After Yue Fei read the detailed enemy situation brought by Situ Heng, this report was very effective.
Yue Fei pointed to the strategic map and said, "There are three routes of the Jin thief. The left side is Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Wushu's confidant general, and Han Chang on the right side is also a tiger general. To take Fengzhou, these two routes must be restrained."
"Zhang Cai!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead 50,000 Beiwei Army and control Wanyan Tuhe Speed from the left, just restrain it."
"Ode to the Lord!"
"Yang Zaixing!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead 50,000 front-line troops to fight Han Chang, be careful, it is to disturb the enemy and restrain it."
"The last general's order!"
"Wang Gui, Liu Qi!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You two infantry and cavalry cooperate to fight Fengcheng!"
"The last general's order!"
Liu Qi has a total of 60,000 people under his command.
Wang Gui's central army had 30,000 heavy cavalry in the Song Dynasty.
Obviously, Bu Renjia was used to restrain the Tiefutu of Wanyan Wushu.
Heavy cavalry is used to fight annihilation wars.
In fact, after fighting Dangxiang's Iron Harrier, the Song army summarized a set of routines specifically against heavy armored cavalry.
Yue Fei's mission is still very heavy. The time given by Zhong Shidao is three months. He must take Fengzhou in three months and defeat the Jin Dynasty's western front.
It has been a month now, and Yue Fei has only two months left.
After deploying troops, two days later, Yue Fei's central army packed up the tent and continued to move forward.
Zhang Cai led 50,000 Beiwei Army to detour from the left, and Yang Zaixing led 50,000 front troops to detour from the right.
Their mission is to restrain Wanyan Wushu's left and right horses, and ensure that the central army will not be attacked by the enemy when siege the city or face Wanyan Wushu head-on.
The grassland in April has faded from the cold, and the wind blowing brings warmth.
Seeing that Yue Fei's army was only a hundred miles away from Fengcheng, spies from both sides became frequent, and military information was sent to their respective commanders at all times.
Wanyan Wushu sat in the commander's mansion in Fengcheng. After seeing Yue Fei's latest deployment, as he expected, Yue Fei divided his troops to restrain his left and right sides to ensure the smooth advance of the central army.
This is the situation Wanyan Wushu wants. If Yue Fei wants to restrain his left and right routes, he must divide the cavalry.
Wanyan Wushu was very confident in his cavalry. The Song people were not good at cavalry fighting, which was a consensus reached within the Jin Dynasty, at least it was much weaker than the Great Jin Dynasty.
Now Yue Fei has divided the cavalry and is really naive to use the infantry armor of the central army to attack the city.
"Yue Fei, the most capable general in Song State. If I want to see how capable you are, you dare to use infantry to fight against my Tiefutu!"
Wanyan Wushu smiled: "I will use your human head to sacrifice this battle!"
