On the third day of the first month of May, Yang Zaixing and others turned back from Kaifeng, bringing the news that the Jin soldiers had arrived in Kaifeng, at the fourth and fifth o'clock of the first month, there were already a small number of Jin soldiers scouting cavalry appeared in the Song army's defense area and the like, and the Song army rangers had several contacts, and the two sides fought each other several times, the Song army stayed in the Yingchang theater of war all the back cavalry, all of them were elite, and the golden cavalry who came to the sentry was also the elite of the army, and every time the two armies met, they all had their own casualties, the Jin soldiers were slightly more seriously killed and wounded, and the back cavalry also had a lot of casualties, and they felt that the opponent was not comparable to the ordinary enemy army.

Yue Fei judged according to the situation that the opponent's main force would definitely approach Lin Ying, first make a gap near Yingchang City, and then make arrangements according to the reaction of the Song soldiers.

Knowing this, he paid more and more attention to the news in the direction of Linying, and every day he continued to scout and ride, and every other moment, there was a team of light horsemen back and forth, almost endlessly, observing the movements of the main force of the golden soldiers.

On the evening of the fifth day of the first month, the Jin soldiers in the direction of Linying are finally no longer a team of dozens or more than 100 people, but a large number of people and horses arrived, the Song army scouts who went to the sentinel cavalry, the distant people in the direction of Linying can hear the people shouting horses neighing, a noisy, Linying County has only a few dozen people in the Song army stationed, has long been ordered to evacuate, the main force of the Jin soldiers gathered, but also scouts and cavalry, drove back a lot of Song cavalry, while preventing the other party from reconnaissance, on the other hand, also preparing for the Song army to come and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Jin soldiers to raid and steal the camp.

It's just that the Song army is surprisingly stable, except for a group of cavalry ghosts, from time to time and small groups of golden cavalry fighting, from the night of the 5th to the 6th, the two armies only occasionally fought on a small scale, and the main force of the Song army did not move at all.

Such a reaction just reflected the conjecture of the Jin army commander Wan Yan Zongbi before, the Song army's troops were scattered, and most of them were infantry, and they could not be mobilized, and the Jin soldiers suddenly appeared, disrupting the deployment of the Song army commander, making the other party panicked, and did not dare to raise troops to occupy it. can only rely on Yingchang to fortify the city to defend and wait for the attack.

In this way, all the Jin soldiers who raided with cavalry will not leave time for the Song army to calmly mobilize men and horses, and after arriving at Linying on the fifth day, they will reward the whole army that night to boost morale, and the next day it will be dark. All the Jin soldiers were dispatched and headed in the direction of Yingchang Mansion.

Yue Fei almost didn't sleep all night, and he 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 coming, but who the commander was, how many soldiers and horses, and the distribution of heavy cavalry and light cavalry in the cavalry were not fully understood.

On the one hand, he ordered all units to prepare, and the whole army was mobilized to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle with the enemy. One side of the comprehensive intelligence. After analyzing the specific deployment of the enemy troops, I was afraid that I would not have the energy the next day in the second half of the night, so I barely fell asleep. In less than two hours, he was already full of energy, turned over and got up, and rushed to inspect the military camps with his own horsemen.

At this time, it was already the early summer morning, the breeze was very refreshing, and the garrison was almost outside the city.

And to the barracks. The eastern sky is still only revealing a few traces of fish skin white, a ray of red glow is faint, it is not clear, inside and outside the barracks, but there are already people boiling, countless gang leaders, military medical officers, logistics officers, rushing back and forth. The aroma of the food came to the nostrils, and tens of thousands of soldiers got up and tidied up, full of energy, ready for a bloody battle with the enemy.

The cavalry needed to get up earlier, the horses to be cared for, and the infantry to go out of camp first to protect the infantry from behind. When Yue Fei arrived in the Devil's Army, the whole army had already eaten breakfast, fed the war horses, even washed and cleaned, equipped with saddles and other things, and the soldiers were also wearing battle armor and were on call at any time.

Yue Yun and other dangerous generals saw Yue Fei coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward, Yue Fei glanced at everyone, after knowing the news of Jin Bing yesterday, he had already gathered at the general meeting, and he naturally said everything, and there was no need to talk about it at this moment.

He looked at his son, Yue Yun is only seventeen this year, but he has been fighting on the battlefield for five years, although he is brave, the large and small wounds on his body are too many to count, and this battle is actually very dangerous, and Yue Fei does not know what the result is. I hope that after this battle, the Jin soldiers can be directly beaten, and even the Yellow Dragon can be directly smashed, so that the country can recuperate, and the younger sons will no longer have to follow their brother's path.

After Yue Yun and the others came up to say hello, Yue Fei looked at everyone and ordered: "First attack with the danger of the back, frustrate the enemy's spirit, is it necessary to fight to the death, do you know?" Yue Yun and the others bowed down together and responded: "Yes, the last general will fight to the death, and he will never dare to take half a step back." Yue Fei said: "Seeing that I am ordering, don't be cowardly, and don't die in vain." Seeing that everyone said yes, Yue Fei knew that this battle was dangerous, even if everyone in front of him was a general, it might not be difficult to ensure that they would die on the battlefield, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks. He has a resolute personality, rarely shows affection, and does not speak in words, so although he is very worried in his heart, he never confides in a word.

When he arrived in front of Deyue Yun, he had the heart to tell him to be careful, but when the words came to his mouth, he said:

"I will fight with my life, and if I don't win, I 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, knowing that with his temper, he couldn't do anything without victory, at most he would just die on the battlefield. He replied with a smile: "Yes, please let my father go, heart." ”

Seeing Yue Fei nodding, Yue Yun said to him instead: "Father is also careful, the enemy is outnumbered, and all of them are elite, so my father should leave more personal soldiers to take care of him." Yue Fei was moved in his heart, but he glared at him and left without saying a word. The matter of betraying the army has been explained, and he will not move first with the dangerous army for a while, so at this time, he will naturally go to the two armies of Shengjie and Destroying Feng first.

Fu Qing, the chief general of the Shengjie Army, and Dong Xian, the chief general of the Destroying Feng Army, have followed Yue Fei for many years, Yue Fei's army, originally Zhang Xian and Wang Gui were his right and left hands, and he could lead the overall situation when he was not there, and now Zhang Xian was transferred to the Taiyuan front line to be in control, Wang Gui was not around, and Fu Qing and Dong Xian were also generals, and they were not as good as Wang Gui in the overall situation, so Yue Fei was more assured.

Fu Qing and Dong Xian knew that he had arrived in the camp, and since Yue Fei came, his Chinese army soldiers and staff members in his entourage had all arrived, and most of the officers and men in the army had had breakfast. It can be said that in the era of cold-weapon warfare, there was no such emphasis on logistics work, nor would it have paid such systematic attention to and categorization, and was so prepared to stop. And because of this, while spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the Song army's battle losses were very few, and there would no longer be any soldiers who were stabbed shallowly, but could not be treated because of wound infection, or died because of this, or had to amputate their limbs.

It can be said that the presence of more than 100 Chinese medicine officers who were selected from all over the country and who were extremely proficient in traumatic injuries and knife wounds in traditional Chinese medicine could give great psychological comfort to the soldiers who were about to go into battle and kill, and further reduce their worries.

When Yue Fei arrived at the infantry battalion, he saw that the chariot soldiers had already set up their vehicles and placed their battle armor according to the number, and the ordinary soldiers sat on the ground, not moving their bodies because the commander had arrived, but just welcoming him eagerly with their eyes.

The infantry army consumes a lot of physical strength, before going into battle to fight, we must use all the time to save physical strength, and we must not waste it on saluting and greetings, this is also a military order issued by Yue Fei personally, and no one is allowed to violate it.

When he saw Fu Qing, Dong Xian and the others come forward to salute, Yue Fei nodded his head, so that everyone did not have to be rigid. Dong Xian was more anxious, and stepped forward to ask, "Dashuai, when will you get up and act?" Yue Fei said: "The military situation has been investigated clearly, the enemy has more than 35,000 soldiers, all of them are cavalry, the commander is Wanyan Zongbi, and his Tiefu Tu and kidnapping horses are all following left and right." After all the hard battles, Zong Bi made a bloody investment this time. In addition to him, there are also 60,000 households such as the Dragon and Tiger King Wanyan Tuhesu, the Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian, Saba, Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Hethorn. Han soldiers, presumably they do not trust, this time it is too late to bring, they scout and ride out, not only to Yingchang, but also to Guide and other places, the main force of our army is scattered, the armies of the slag pass have just arrived in Shangzhou, Han Shizhong's army is still in Shandong, these military intelligence Zong Bi is also clear, defeat Yingchang, cut off the contact between the north and south of our army, and then raid separately, first solve the crisis of the Central Plains, and then break the Shandong army, this is his charter. ”

Listening to him quietly speaking, everyone was heavy, Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horse were both Zong Bi's pro-army, which was used during the Battle of Fuping, and the Song army reluctantly made a draw with these two strong troops with the convenience of numbers and location, and did not hurt the other party's roots, these two strong armies escorted Zong Bi to escape safely, and there was no loss. In recent years, there have been many battles between the Song and Jin armies, and they are also well aware of the combat power of these two strong troops under Zong Bi.

And Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Zongxian, as well as Saba, Yinshuke and others, are all first-class generals among the Jurchen Ten Thousand Households, and the soldiers under their command are all elite. And so many generals, the kings of the sect, with less than 40,000 cavalry, must have been the elite of the soldiers and horses of the kings of the ten thousand households, so they were led to a surprise attack. The enemy army is so elite, and the number is still above the Song army, the difficulty and hardship of this battle are far beyond everyone's imagination.

And just when everyone was in a heavy mood, Yue Fei suddenly laughed and said, "I actually forgot, I'm afraid that Saba's head will stink." The day before yesterday, Yang Zaixing went to the outpost to investigate the enemy's situation, and when he met Saba, he had already slaughtered him, and at this time on the way to Chang'an, I was afraid that it was already smelly. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and many middle- and lower-ranking officers and soldiers who heard it on the side were all smiling. Fu Qing liked Yang Zaixing the most, and he was happy for the other party in his heart, but he was very sorry that the result of the Nuo battle was not set up when he was in the Shengjie army, and his expression was strange at the moment, and he said to Yue Fei:

"In this case, our Shengjie Army will also cut off the heads of a few golden dogs and Wanhu today, and also go to Chang'an!"
