Chapter 152 high morale

On the third day of the fifth month, Yang Zaixing and others returned from Kaifeng and brought the news that the Jin soldiers had arrived in Kaifeng. At the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, a small number of Jin soldiers and reconnaissance cavalry appeared in the Song army's defense zone, and they had several contacts with the Song army rangers. The two sides fought against each other several times. The Song army stayed in the Yingchang war zone were all elite cavalry, and each of them was elite. The Jin cavalry who came to the rushing to detect were also elite soldiers. Every time the two armies encountered each other, they each suffered casualties. The Jin soldiers were slightly injured, and the dangerous cavalry also had many casualties and injuries. It felt that their opponents were not comparable to ordinary enemy troops.

According to the situation, Yue Fei judged that the opponent's main force would definitely approach Linying, first set a gap near Yingchang City, and then make arrangements based on Song Bing's reaction and trends.

He knew this and paid more attention to the news about Linying's direction. He reconnaissance every day. Every moment, a team of light cavalry traveled back and forth, almost endlessly, observing the movements of the main force of the Jin soldiers at all times.

On the evening of the fifth day of the lunar month, the Jin soldiers in Linying were finally no longer a team of dozens or more than a hundred people, but a large number of people arrived. The Song army reconnaissance cavalry who were heading to the contingent to detect the contingent was heard from Linying to shout at the neighing of the horses. It was noisy. The Song army, which had only a few dozen people in Linying County, had been ordered to evacuate long ago. The main forces of the Jin soldiers gathered together and also sent out four reconnaissance cavalry to drive away many Song army cavalry. While preventing the other party from reconnaissance, the Song army was also prepared to come over to attack the stealing camp while the Jin soldiers were unstable.

However, the Song army was unexpectedly stable. Except for the cavalry teams who were still in dispersed and fought with small groups of golden cavalry from time to time, from the five to six days, the two armies only had small-scale battles, and the main force of the Song army did not move at all.

This reaction just proved the previous conjecture of the head commander of the Jin army Wanyan Zongbi. The Song army's troops were dispersed and were mostly infantry. They could not be mobilized. The Jin army suddenly appeared, disrupting the deployment of the head commander of the Song army, making the other party panic and did not dare to take troops to occupy it. They could only rely on Yingchang's strong city to defend and wait for attack.

In this way, all the Jin soldiers attacked with cavalry would not leave time for the Song army to calmly mobilize their troops. After five days of arrival in Linying, they would reward the entire army that night to inspire morale. The next day, the sky was still dark. All the Jin soldiers were dispatched and headed towards Yingchang Mansion.

Yue Fei hadn't been asleep for almost a night and had been paying attention to the movements of the main force of the Jin soldiers dozens of miles away. Although he knew that the main force of the Jin soldiers was here, he did not fully understand who the commander was, the distribution of heavy cavalry and light cavalry among the cavalry.

While ordering the preparations of all units, the entire army mobilized to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy tomorrow. While integrating intelligence and analyzing the specific deployment situation of the enemy, he was afraid of losing his energy the next day in the second half of the night, so he could barely fall asleep. In about two hours, he was already full of energy. He turned over and got up, and rushed to the military camps with his own cavalry to inspect.

It was already early summer morning, and the breeze was very refreshing. Almost all the garrisons were outside the city. After Yue Fei left the city, the smell of soil and straw in the fields outside the city made him feel energetic.

And when we arrived in the military camp, there were only a few fish in the east that were white in their skin, and a ray of red glow was faintly visible, which was indistinguishable. Inside and outside the military camp, there were already a lot of people, and countless soldiers, military medical officers, and logistics officers were busy. The aroma of the food came to their noses, and tens of thousands of soldiers stood up and tied their armor, were energetic, preparing for a bloody battle with the enemy.

The cavalry needed to get up earlier, the horses needed to take care of them, and they had to go out to raid the camp first to protect the infantry after they were sent to the back ghost army. When Yue Fei arrived at the army of ghosts, the whole army had already used breakfast, fed the war horses, and even washed them clean, equipped with saddles and other items. The soldiers also wore war armor and were at their fate.

Yue Yun and other generals who were in danger saw Yue Fei coming in, hurriedly came forward. Yue Fei glanced at everyone. After learning about the news of the Jin soldiers yesterday, they had already gathered for the generals to meet. Naturally, they had finished all the things they should say, and there was no need to say anything more at this moment.

He looked at his son. Yue Yun was only seventeen years old this year, but he had been fighting on the battlefield for five years. Although he was extremely brave, he could not count the wounds of all sizes on his body. However, this battle was actually very dangerous. Yue Fei didn't know what the result was. He hoped that after this battle, he could directly defeat the Jin soldiers, or even go directly to Huanglong, so that the country could recuperate, and younger sons would no longer have to follow their brother's path.

After Yue Yun and others came up to pay their respects, Yue Fei looked at the people and ordered: "First attack with danger first, to slap the enemy's aura, so that you will have to fight to the death, do you know?" Yue Yun and others bowed together and responded: "Yes, the last generals and others will never dare to take a step back." Yue Fei said: "When I see my orders, you should not fight timidly, nor do you die in a silence." Seeing everyone saying yes, Yue Fei knew that this battle was dangerous. Even if the people in front of him were generals, it might not be difficult to be able to die on the battlefield. He could not help but look at it a few more times. He was determined by his character, and he rarely showed his feelings, and would not speak in words. Therefore, although he was very worried, he did not reveal a word.

When he arrived in front of Yue Yun, he wanted to remind him to be careful, but when he said something to his mouth, he said sternly:

"You must fight with your life. If you cannot win, you will kill you first!" Yue Yun knew his father's temper, and even knew that if he really lost the battle, his father would really not show mercy. He was calm in his heart, and knew that with his temper, he could not do anything that would be defeated and not defeated. At most, he would just die on the battlefield. He smiled and replied, "Yes, please rest assured, please."

Seeing Yue Fei nodding, Yue Yun said to him: "Father, be careful, the enemy is weak, and they are all elite. My father should keep more personal soldiers around him to take care of him." Yue Fei was moved, but he glared at him and left without saying a word. The matter of the back army had been explained, and he would not act first with the back army for a while. At this time, he would naturally patrol the two armies of Shengjie and Feifeng first.

Fu Qing, the chief general of Shengjie Army, and Dong Xian, the chief general of the Feifeng Army, have followed Yue Fei for many years. In Yue Fei's army, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui were his right-hand men and could lead the overall situation when he was not there. Now Zhang Xian has been transferred to the front line of Taiyuan to be the commander, and Wang Gui is not around. Fu Qing and Dong Xian are also talents of generals. They are not as reassuring as Wang Gui in the overall situation. This time, they decided to act with the main camp of the Central Camp and the two armies, which is also a good intention to command the enemy.

Fu Qing and Dong Xian knew that he had arrived in the camp. Since Yue Fei came, all his personal soldiers and staff members of the army had arrived. Most of the soldiers in the army had used breakfast. There were all kinds of supplies, such as herbs and gauze for bandaging. The hills were prepared. It can be said that in the era of cold weapons wars, there was no such thing as logistics work, nor such systematic attention or classification, and such preparations were made. Because of this, while the manpower and material resources were spent, the Song army suffered very little damage. No soldiers were hit by a shallow knife but were not treated due to wound infection, or they died, or they were injured or wanted to cut off their limbs.

It can be said that such guarantees and supplies are the presence of more than 100 doctors and Chinese medicine officials who are extremely proficient in trauma and knife wounds in traditional Chinese medicine, and can greatly comfort the soldiers who are going to fight and kill, and reduce their worries.

When Yue Fei arrived in the infantry camp, he saw that the soldiers had already set up their vehicles and placed their armor according to their numbers. Ordinary soldiers sat on the ground, not moving their bodies just because the commander arrived, but just welcomed him eagerly with his eyes.

The Infantry Army consumes extremely physical strength. Before going to fight, they must use all their time to save their energy and must not waste their tribute and greetings. This is also a military order issued by Yue Fei himself, and no one is allowed to violate it.

When Fu Qing, Dong Xian and others came forward to salute, Yue Fei nodded, so that everyone would not be stubborn. Dong Xian was anxious and stepped forward and asked, "Master, when will you get up and take action?" Yue Fei said, "The military situation has been investigated clearly. The enemy soldiers are more than 35,000, all of them are cavalry. The commander is Wanyan Zongbi. His Tiefutu and Gunzima are all following. After all the hard battles, Zongbi spent a lot of money this time. In addition to him, there are also the Dragon and Tiger King Wanyan Tu and the King Gai Tian.

Yan Zongxian, Sa Ba, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Heshu and other six thousand households. The Han soldiers must not trust them, and they didn't have time to lead them this time. They searched for cavalry and not only went to Yingchang, but also to Guide and other places. The main force of our army was scattered. The Zhaguan army had just arrived in Shangzhou, and Han Shizhong and his troops were still in Shandong. Zongbi also knew the military situation. He defeated Yingchang, cut off our army's north-south liaison, and then attacked separately, first resolved the dangers of the Central Plains, and then defeated the Shandong army. This is his constitution."

After hearing him say quietly, everyone was in a heavy heart. Tiefutu and Guaizima were both Zongbi's personal army. They were used in the Battle of Fuping. The Song army had to tie the two strong soldiers with the convenience of numbers and geographical advantages, and did not hurt the other party's ground. These two strong soldiers escorted Zongbi to escape safely without any loss. In recent years, the Song and Jin armies had many battles, and they knew the combat power of the two strong soldiers under Zongbi's command.

Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Zongxian, Saba, Yin Shuke and others were all the first-class generals in the Jurchens, and all the soldiers under their command were elite. And so many generals and sects, with less than 40,000 cavalry, must have been elite among the many soldiers of the sects of thousands of households, and they were led to the raid. The enemy was so elite, and the number of people was still above the Song army. The difficulties and hardships of this battle were far beyond those of everyone's imagination.

And just when everyone was in a heavy mood, Yue Fei suddenly laughed and said, "I forgot that Saba's head would be stinky. The day before yesterday, Yang Zaixing, the general who was wronged, went to investigate the enemy's situation. When he met Saba, he had already slaughtered him. At this time, he was afraid that it would be stinky on the way to Chang'an."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed, and together with the many middle and lower-level officers and soldiers who heard it, they all smiled. Fu Qing liked Yang Zaixing the most, and was happy for the other party. He was very sorry that this great victory was not his position in the Shengjie Army. He looked strange and said to Yue Fei:

"Since that's the case, our Shengjie Army will also cut off a few golden dogs and ten thousand households today and also go to Chang'an to spread the head!"
