Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 41 The First Battle of Handan City

The entire cavalry charge was in a V-shape. Yue Fei took the lead and rushed at the front of the V-shape. Smoke billowed, horses neighed and people screamed. The grass bandits were instantly defeated by the clash of gold and iron!They never expected that a mere caravan would have such amazing combat power.

Although one blow shattered the fighting spirit of the grass bandits, Yue Fei did not intend to give up. He continued to fight among the grass bandits with his five hundred cavalry.

If you look carefully, his cavalry has changed from a V-shaped formation to a round formation, surrounding all the grass bandits in Gaixin.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingluo can basically conclude that those grass bandits are Li Guibu!As the saying goes, don't chase after poor bandits, but Yue Fei's change of formation actually had the intention of annihilating them all, which shows that he also believed that these bandits deserved to die and were not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Zhao Yingluo saw that the bandits had almost no chance of escaping, so she turned to a young man who was guarding her and shouted, "Zhongyan!"

"The little guy is here!"

Zhong Yan was originally a refugee near Tokyo and was recruited into Zhao Yingluo's private soldier.

What surprised Zhao Yingluo was that this Zhongyan actually had a good fighting foundation. Not only was he powerful, agile, and mentally flexible, he was even proficient in various formations for leading troops in battle.

At first she thought this Zhongyan had something to do with the "Zhong Family Army", but after several inquiries and probings, she discovered that his memory was only the first year of Jingkang and after!Jingkang has no previous memories.

It seems that if you want to find out the identity of this person, you can only wait to find more family members to verify.

Fortunately, although this Zhongyan didn't talk much, he was very disciplined in his work and fought bravely, so Zhao Yingluo quickly promoted him to the captain of the Centurion Team. This Centurion Team was the same as Yue Fei's 500-man Fire Gun Team. , each person is equipped with an exquisite firecracker.

Going north to Zhongshan Mansion, Zhao Yingluo expanded his hundred-man team to a thousand people, but except for the initial 100 people who had fire blunderbuss, the remaining 900 people still had conventional weapons.

"Take our people and follow General Yue to kill the grass bandits. Remember, you can't use fire blunderbuss, you have to kill them at close range!"

After receiving the order, Zhong Yan waved the flag in his hand, and a group of thousands of people immediately came out, like an arrow rushing towards the surrounded grass bandits.

Chuntao was a little puzzled. According to the current war situation, General Yue's cavalry was all that was needed to annihilate the nearly a thousand grass bandits. The only difference was only a matter of time. Why did his master let his private soldiers die?

"Princess Princess, we don't need private soldiers to take action right now, right?"

"Need! Although General Yue can completely encircle and suppress those grassroots bandits without much effort, I want my private soldiers to take this opportunity to experience real actual combat! Courage needs to be watered with blood, and courage needs to be stimulated by the horn of the battlefield. ! Only those who have experienced actual combat can be considered true soldiers."

Chuntao nodded in understanding.

Yue Fei, who was encircling and suppressing the grass bandits, saw that Zhao Yingluo actually sent his own army. He was stunned at first, and then he understood her intention in an instant.

He immediately ordered the cavalry to open an opening and let them in.

The private soldiers, who were full of fighting spirit, waved their weapons like wild puppies, directly dividing the grass bandits in the encirclement into two, and then cooperated with the peripheral cavalry to start a bloody battle of annihilation.

This battle took less than half an hour from start to finish. Except for a few fish that slipped through the net, everyone else was wiped out.

Yue Fei's 500-man cavalry lost less than ten people, and the total casualties of Zhao Yingluo's private soldiers exceeded single digits, reaching 12 people.Seeing that the momentum of her own private army has not diminished after the bloody battle, Zhao Yingluo is very satisfied with the result. If she really wanted to rate this private soldier who participated in the battle for the first time, she would give it eight out of ten!

The two points deducted were mainly due to the emergency response speed and casualty rate. In her opinion, facing the same number of enemies, her private soldier exchange ratio would be one to ten or even higher.

"They are grass bandits belonging to Li Gui! After the Song Dynasty and the Jin people opened up the market, merchants traveling from the south to the north had to pass through Handan, and the goods in their hands became the main target of Li Gui's robbery." Yue Fei changed his clothes. , came to Zhao Yingluo's carriage and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yingluo nodded slightly, and then asked, "Is Li Gui himself among them?"

Yue Fei shook his head. You just sit back and watch as misbehavior happens on your own turf.”

Zhao Yingluo sneered, "On the side of the bed, how could Liu Yu ignore Li Gui? If my prediction is correct, this Li Gui should have reached some kind of exchange of interests with Liu Yu. For example, Liu Yu canonized Li Gui as the King of Han , tacitly allowed him to separate the city and rob merchants. Li Gui divided the looted goods with Liu Yu in proportion."

Yue Fei was shocked, "Most of the merchants passing through Handan are my people of the Song Dynasty! Liu Yu, the traitor, recognizes the traitor as his father, works as a tiger's helper, and commits unbridled evil. Sooner or later, he will be captured and executed by Ling Chi, and the nine tribes will be destroyed."

Zhao Yingluo took a look at the sky and said with a smile, "General, don't be angry. As the sun is getting worse, we should set off immediately and enter the city before the city gate closes."

Yue Fei then ordered his people to clean up the battlefield briefly, and then urged the carriages and horses to hurry towards Handan City.

Although the administrative level of Handan City is not as high as that of Daming Mansion in the east, it is still richer than before, and it is located on the main road between the north and the south, so the whole city is quite large.

As soon as Zhao Yingluo and her party entered Handan City, Cao Han, Jiang Laosi's assistant left behind, came to greet them.

Cao Han is Jiang Laosi's capable deputy who has been trained in the past six months. Although he is only in his thirties, he has traveled extensively since he was 15 years old and has seen a lot.

After Jiang Laosi and Wang Zaixing went north to Xingzhou, they left Cao Han and a dozen subordinates to greet Zhao Yingluo and his party.

Thanks to his careful arrangements, Zhao Yingluo and his party of more than [-] people were quickly accommodated after entering the city, and left Handan City early the next morning and continued northward.

【Damingfu】

Ever since he became the emperor, Liu Yu felt so beautiful in his heart. Hearing the courtiers calling "official family" and "official family" every day, he felt a little dazed, as if the world was already the world of Daqi.

But beauty is beauty, and he knew very well that if he didn't curry favor with the golden man, he would never be able to secure the throne.

But I can fawn over the Jin people, but will I continue to fawn over the Jin people when my son ascends the throne in the future?

cannot!Absolutely not!
If you want to be on an equal footing with the Golden Man, you need sufficient strength. What is strength?The army is the strength!Which army is the strongest, naturally the cavalry!
If it weren't for the powerful Jin cavalry, how could they possibly defeat the Song Dynasty, which had an army of millions?

Therefore, we must focus on developing cavalry. As long as we have cavalry, the north can repel the Jin people, the south can completely destroy the Zhao and Song world, and we will become the legitimate lord of the world.
