After preparing the ladder, Yue Fei barely gave Yang Jin any time to rest and quickly began to attack the city.

It only took half an hour for the Song army to capture the city.

In the afternoon, the city gate was opened, and Yue Fei led his army into the city to recapture Fucheng.

The first thing Yue Fei did when he recaptured Fucheng was to rectify military affairs. At the same time, he sent people to the Yellow River to gather information.

Sure enough, traces of the Jin army were found along the Yellow River, and a group of Jin troops had already crossed the Yellow River.

It's too late to intercept now. We can only defend Fucheng first. At the same time, send people to quickly report to Dongguang County and Wuqiao County.

He even sent someone to Cangzhou Government to report to Li Gang.

When Wan Yanchang ran to Fucheng with joy and saw the flag "Yang" flying on the top of the city, he was convinced that Yang had attacked and occupied Fucheng.

However, Wan Yanchang was not a fool like Yang Jin or Kong Yanzhou. He did not rush into the city rashly, but sent people into the city first to test it out.

Yue Fei also did a complete show. He learned that the top brass of the Jin Army had not met Yang Jin, so he pretended to be Yang Jin and met Wan Yanchang's envoy.

He also led a group of people to warmly welcome Wan Yanchang's envoy.

After a touching conversation, Wan Yanchang's envoy went out of the city to report that the man inside was Yang Jin.

Yue Fei even made preparations and personally led people out to greet Wan Yanchang.

When Wan Yanchang saw Yue Fei, he felt a little strange. Didn't Yang Jin come from Cao Mang? How come he looked stronger than me?

Wan Yanchang didn't think too much. After all, the city gates were open, so why not go in?

Even if there is deceit, it is still vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

So, he first sent 8,000 people into the city to recruit Yang Jin's troops, and then entered the city himself after everything was sorted out.

Yue Fei saw that the old boy Wan Yanchang was not fooled, so he didn't force it.

After all, the strong-willed melon is not sweet. If the coach doesn't come in, he won't come in.

8,000 people can only be accepted as soon as possible!

Soon, the first batch of 8,000 people entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, Wan Yanchang saw the people at the top of the city. Suddenly, he cut the rope with a few axes, and the city gate suddenly fell.

Wan Yanchang is a little confused, what's going on?

Others were also a little confused.

After entering the city, the Jin army was still on the road and suddenly became surprised when they heard the city gate behind them crashing down.

The archers and crossbowmen who had already ambushed them on both sides immediately started taking action.

Suddenly a dense rain of arrows came down overwhelmingly. Those Jin soldiers wearing iron armor were fine, but those wearing leather armor were in dire straits.

Wearing leather armor will immediately be pricked into honeycombs.

Half of this Jin army wore leather armor.

At first, there was panic when the arrow rain appeared, and then a large number of people were shot to death, and screams occurred one after another.

Someone with heavy armor rushed into the alley, but was besieged by the heavy armor of the Song army that had been prepared.

The terrain in the alley is very simple. We have dozens of people ambushed. You have just rushed in with seven or eight people, and the ones behind you have not yet rushed in.

We have dozens of people and dozens of axes to chop him down first as a sign of respect.

Wan Yanchang, who was outside the city, knew he had been fooled when he heard the screams inside. He was furious and began to curse Yue Fei for being despicable and shameless.

However, the Song army at the top of the city had already prepared crossbows, wood, stones and other defensive tools.

Wan Yanchang, on the other hand, came too quickly and did not bring any siege equipment.

He originally expected Yang Jin to open the city gate and enter, but of course he didn't bring any siege equipment. Now he was really in trouble.

The 8,000 Jin troops were ambushed by 3,000 Song troops in the city.

In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of Jin soldiers died. Those who survived had their morale broken. Some still resisted and fought hand-to-hand in the alley, but they were quickly suppressed.

By evening, Yue Fei had captured 3,000 Jin troops, almost all of whom were heavily armored.

There are even 3,000 horses, which can be said to be a great harvest!

Wan Yanchang scolded him outside until his lips went dry, but to no avail. He had no choice but to send people to cut down trees and build ladders to attack the city.

On October 12, the news that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River was sent to Dongguang County and Wuqiao County by people sent by Yue Fei.

On October 13, Yue Fei's people rushed to Cangzhou, sent the news to the government, and presented it to Li Gang.

The news that the Jin army crossed the Yellow River suddenly made the entire eastern front defense tense.

At this time, Zongze, who was in Daming Mansion, also received information from Yue Fei.

After reading it, he knew that the Jin army was about to move south.

Looking at the overall situation, there is only one safest way: to quickly strengthen the defenses in the cities along the middle line, and notify the Hebei Transportation Department. After the last batch of grain is allocated, everyone withdraws.

In other words, a vacuum zone hundreds of miles deep was left for the Jin army, and all people and food were in the city.

The intelligence sent by Yue Fei in Fucheng was the beginning of the Third Song-Jin War. It officially kicked off the entire war, and at the same time, the central and eastern defenses were quickly alerted.

On October 14, the urgent news from the front was rushed to Tokyo City and placed in front of Zhao Ning.

After Zhao Ning read it, he called him a good guy.

Of course, the battle report that Yue Fei killed 5,000 Jin troops, captured 3,000 Jin troops, and 3,000 horses in Fucheng has not yet been sent out, so no one knows about it yet.

Even so, Zhao Ning has already thought of a reward for Yue Fei.

He didn't expect Yue Fei to grow so quickly. At this rate, he could be promoted at a faster pace.

This will undoubtedly greatly promote the subsequent military and political reform.

At noon on October 14, Wan Yanchang used the built ladder to launch an attack on Fucheng.

The fierce siege battle lasted for an afternoon, and the Jin army lost nearly a thousand people, but failed to capture Fucheng.

Wan Yanchang was shocked that the fighting power of this Song army was so powerful!

Wanyanchang, who had been so high-spirited just a few days ago and marched his troops south to cross the Yellow River with great momentum, was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Little did he know that as soon as the fight started, he would encounter one of the hardest bones to crack in the Song Dynasty in the first battle.

Moreover, this person's growth rate is unimaginable. He can absorb and sum up a large amount of experience in every war, and think deeply about the essence of war.

In the past few days, Yue Fei experienced all the so-called intelligence, deceit, forced marches, frontal field battles, street battles, and formations.

And he personally directed them all, many of which he had never experienced before.

Summarizing this operation, Yue Fei himself found it thrilling.

If there is a problem in any link, the situation in front of us will be unimaginably serious.

Wan Yanchang couldn't move to Fucheng for a while, so he could only build a combination of goose carriage and ladder while reporting to Hejian Mansion.

However, he did not dare to tell Wanyan Zongfu that he had lost 10,000 people. If he did, he would be immediately dismissed from his post and taken back to Marshal Yanjing's Mansion for interrogation.

While Wanyanchang began to rectify the morale of the army, he accelerated the construction of more siege equipment. At the same time, in order to cover up his negligence, he described the Song army's defenses in various towns as vulnerable in the letter, in order to urge Wanyan Zongfu.

Hurry and suppress the army.

In mid-October, all the grain and fodder of the Jin Army on the Eastern Front arrived at Hejian Mansion.
Chapter completed!
