Chapter 710 Gao Qi came to find Yue Fei
The divine warriors stood quietly on both wings, waiting for their chance.
When they received Wang Gui's order, they left the left and right wings respectively.
The horses' hooves made a clattering sound on the ground, causing splashes of water.
They quickly gathered and were exposed to the Jin army's cavalry.
However, it is impossible for the kidnapping horse to easily shift its target to the divine warrior cavalry.
The important task of the Guaizima is to penetrate the main defense of the Song Army. If they focus on the Song Army's cavalry, the possible consequences will not only consume themselves, but also delay the fighter opportunity.
If Guaizima cannot break through the Song army's defense today, will Wanyan Yinshu definitely withdraw his troops?
Why?
Because both sides are reaching their limit.
Wanyan Yinshu would never rush to use infantry to attack the Song Army's infantry now. He also wanted to conserve his strength to rescue Hejian Mansion.
It is a bad idea to directly use infantry to attack infantry.
For this Jurchen warrior, using the kidnapping horse to penetrate the opponent first, and then using the infantry to push back is the best strategy. It is a tactic that suits his identity and the current battle situation.
The Song Army's cavalry set off from the left and right wings, each with a thousand cavalry, like two sharp swords, piercing the Jin Army's left and right wings.
"Report! The Song Army cavalry has been discovered!" the scout passed the news to Wanyan Xigunai.
Wanyan Xigu Nai laughed and said: "This is my first time seeing Song Army cavalry, but I want to learn more about Yue Fei's cavalry!"
It can be said that the tactics of the cavalry are similar to those of the Guaizima. After the Song cavalry arrived on the left and right wings of the Jin army, they also began to quickly look for the weak points of the Jin army's defense.
And tried to make several breakthroughs.
The problems encountered by the Shenwu Army cavalry and the Jin Army's kidnapping horses were almost identical.
This also shows that Yin Shuke had already considered the factors of the Song Army's cavalry when setting up the formation.
Time passed slowly, and the rain eased slightly, but it still did not stop.
Until the afternoon, the Jin army launched nearly twenty attacks on the Song army, but they were all blocked.
The same goes for the Song Army cavalry.
Wanyan Yinshuke took a deep breath and realized that he had encountered a tough situation today.
The physical strength of cavalry is naturally less consumed than that of infantry.
He could have thought that the Song Army would not be able to hold it any longer and would collapse at the next moment, and by then his kidnapping horse would be able to cut through the Song Army's formation.
But what about the Jin Army infantry?
Aren't you trying to hold on?
Once the infantry of the Jin Army was defeated by the Song Army, even if it defeated the main force of the Song Army, what would Hejian Mansion do?
This situation is unacceptable to Wanyan Yinshu.
But this situation is acceptable to Wang Gui.
In the final analysis, the war in Zhongshan Mansion cannot be measured by simple tactical victory or defeat.
At the last moment of Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon), Wanyan Yinshuke had no choice but to announce his withdrawal.
The Jin army began to retreat, using cavalry as cover.
Wang Gui breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the cavalry to be withdrawn to cover the retreat of the main force.
This battle was fought very superficially by both sides, but the battle was thrilling. As long as the opponent showed a slight weakness, it would be amplified by the opponent's cavalry.
As long as the filling speed is slightly slower, it may be bitten by the opponent's cavalry, torn apart, and then cut and collapsed.
This is the basic principle of a strong army facing off against a strong army.
Both sides retreated tacitly, and both sides tacitly agreed not to pursue, because both sides knew that they were exhausted to the extreme.
This situation is too risky.
At noon on June 18, it was raining lightly outside.
"Report! Commander Yue, good news has come from Hejian Mansion!"
The messenger quickly delivered the news of Zhang Xian's victory to Yue Fei's desk.
"Okay!" After reading it, Yue Fei was overjoyed, "As long as Wang Gui holds on, it's no problem to take back Hejian Mansion."
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Yue, people from the imperial court are here."
"The imperial court?" Yue Fei was a little surprised. Why did the imperial court send people to do this at this time?
Could it be that he wants to interfere with the battle situation?
Yue Fei walked out and asked, "Who is coming?"
"It's Captain Gao Qiu."
"Is it him?" Yue Fei was even more surprised. He had naturally heard of Gao Qiu, a popular figure next to His Majesty the Emperor.
In his early years, when Gao Qiu was following Emperor Daojun, he went to join the Northwest Army.
Could it be that he is now going to join the Hebei army?
This is a critical moment in the war in Hebei. If the imperial court intervenes hastily, problems may really arise.
Without thinking too much, Yue Fei went out to see Gao Qiu first.
After Yue Fei went out, he saw a middle-aged fat man squatting aside and patting a little yellow dog on the head, saying plausibly: "You must be obedient, or I will kill you for hot pot!"
"Lieutenant Gao."
Yue Fei's angry voice came, and Gao Qiu jumped up from the ground in fright.
"Lieutenant Gao, are you okay?" Yue Fei quickly went over to help Gao Qiu.
"It's okay, it's okay." Gao Qiu held on to his hat and adjusted his sleeves, "Shuai Yue, you're being polite this time."
"Captain Gao suddenly arrived in Fucheng, and my subordinates were not prepared enough. I hope Commander Gao will forgive me."
"Don't dare, don't dare. I'm here this time, firstly to visit Commander Yue, and secondly to do business for the officials."
"I wonder if the official family has something to do that requires Lieutenant Gao to come to Fucheng?" Yue Fei asked curiously.
"Shuai Yue, did you know that someone lost his head in Tokyo some time ago?"
"I haven't heard much about this. There are too many affairs in Fucheng during this period." Yue Fei said as he asked Gao Qiu to sit inside.
He also ordered someone to pour tea and serve some snacks.
"Some time ago, the censor Zhongcheng Zhan Dafang lost his head because Zhan Dafang had a batch of business that came to the border of Hebei and had close private relations with the Jin people."
Yue Fei did not comment on this matter.
Yue Fei is a very cautious person when it comes to major matters, and he will not get involved casually.
"Then the official asked Taiwei Gao to handle the matter. Where can the subordinate provide support?" Yue Fei asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just here to check on people." Gao Qiu said, "Hejian Prefecture in the north used to be an important place for smuggling, and between Hejian Prefecture and Zhongshan Prefecture, there was a zone of no regard, where smuggling in the Song and Jin Dynasties was all done. There were activities there, and I heard that many officials from Hebei were involved."
As soon as Gao Qiu finished speaking, another messenger came in quickly from outside: "Report! Commander Yue, this is a military report sent by someone from the capital."
"Come in!"
The messenger came in and the general handed over his report.
Zhang Jiefu, who joined the army, read it first and then presented it to Yue Fei. He glanced at Gao Qiu and said nothing.
Yue Fei said directly: "Wang Gui's situation in Zhongshan Mansion is not optimistic. The elite troops capable of Yin Shu are all in Zhongshan Mansion. It is not easy for Wang Gui to hold back Yin Shu with this force these days!"
Yue Fei was not worried about Gao Qiu hearing these military secrets. After all, he was sent by Zhao Guan's family, and these things could not be hidden from him.
Gao Qiu didn't seem to be very interested in these, and drank tea without interrupting.
Obviously, Gao Qiu had his purpose written directly on his face: Although I was sent by Zhao Guan's family, the war has nothing to do with me.
At this moment, another military report came: "Report! Commander Yue, the royal capital is commanding the army."
"There is another military report, so this one..."
After Zhang Jiefu took it and read it, his face became gloomy: "Yue Shuai, a batch of medicinal materials purchased from the private sector were not delivered. Now Wang Gui is in urgent need of medicines."
