This time, the Xiliang army dispatched a total of 100,000 infantry and cavalry troops. As for Li Xiang, he dispatched 50,000 troops. Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang joined forces to form an army of 40,000 troops.
Calculating it this way, with ninety thousand against one hundred thousand, Li Xiang will not suffer much in terms of military strength.
However, when the armies of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang left the city to prepare for battle, Yue Fei drove them back and asked them to go back to defend the city.
Soldiers value elites rather than numbers. The combat effectiveness of the army under Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang is far inferior to that of the Bingzhou Army. With soldiers of this quality working together with the Bingzhou Army, it is not good for one
, but it will have the opposite effect.
Therefore, Yue Fei simply did not need the 40,000 soldiers under Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, and only relied on the 50,000 troops of the Bingzhou Army to deal with the 100,000 troops of the Xiliang Army.
"Hit the snake within seven inches and capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Zhang Xian and Wang Gui. You two can lead the Beiwei army directly into the enemy's central camp and threaten the enemy's central camp!" Although the battlefield in front of you is chaotic!
It was incomparable, but in Yue Fei's eyes it was very clear.
"The last general takes command!"
Following Yue Fei's order, the two generals immediately took the order and left. Behind them were a total of three thousand soldiers who were as powerful as mountains and as calm as mountains. These three thousand people were half infantry and half cavalry.
They all moved towards the center of the battlefield.
"Yue Fei Wu Mu's skill effect 4 is activated. When the commander is fighting on the back of the Wei army, the entire army of the Bei Wei army will have a force of 1."
These 3,000 Beiwei troops were originally a mission reward issued with Yue Fei during the Grassland War mission. When Li Xiang sent Yue Fei out to launch a new round of recruitment, these 3,000 Beiwei troops naturally joined in.
.
Now, it has been two years since these three thousand Beiwei troops were formed, and it is time for them to show their talents!
The book "Yunlu Manchao" written by Zhao Yanwei of the Southern Song Dynasty has clearly stated that in addition to Yue Fei's troops, Han Shizhong's troops also had Beiwei troops: "Han, Yue's soldiers are particularly elite, and they often compete with the brave and capable ones in the army.
To follow the army personally is called Beiwei."
"The Biography of Ten Generals Crossing South in the Song Dynasty" records that Li Xianzhong, a general from Qingjian in the Suide Army of Shaanxi, returned to the Song Dynasty in the ninth year of Shaoxing anyway, and had the "Beiwei Army" under his command, commanded by Wu Shixiong and Zhou Di.
"The Biography of Wu Ting in the History of the Song Dynasty" records that when Wanyan Liang invaded the south in the 31st year of Shaoxing, Wu Ting, son of Wu Lin, led the "Beiwei Cavalry" to defeat the Jin army in Qinzhou. It can be seen that there were also soldiers named "Beiwei" under the Wu family army.
cavalry.
In addition, books such as "Jingding Jiankang Zhi" and "Jianyan Years" also record that in the early Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangshi, Wang Wei and other generals had troops named "Beiwei". And just in the early Southern Song Dynasty,
There are as many as six or seven "Beiwei armies" recorded in historical records.
It can be seen that the "Beiwei Army" was a relatively popular troop designation in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and was by no means exclusive to the Yuejia Army.
But when it comes to the Beiwei Army, almost 99% of people will think of the Beiwei Army of the Yue Family Army, and even regard it as Yue Fei's exclusive army.
And all this is not without reason. The reason why we have forgotten the other Beiwei troops and only remember Yue Fei's Beiwei army is because the record of this army is so outstanding.
In the Battle of Licheng, Yue Fei's Beiwei Army first used infantry to defeat the Jin Army's elite Guaizima, and then used a very small number of elite cavalry to rush into the enemy formation, and finally defeated Wu Shu's 15,000 elite cavalry and 100,000 infantry. After that.
, Jin Wushu was unwilling to fail and attacked Yingchang again, but he still could not avoid the fate of being blasted by the Wei army.
Next came the Beiwei Army's Battle of the Gods. In Zhuxian Town, Yue Fei defeated an army of more than 100,000 Jin with 500 Beiwei elite soldiers.
And this series of combination punches finally made future generations closely connect Yue Fei and Bei Weijun.
"Kill me, prepare your bows and arrows!" After inserting into the battlefield, Zhang Xian held a war gun in his hand, observing the situation on the battlefield and giving combat orders.
Following Zhang Xian's order, the three thousand Beiwei troops quickly divided themselves into multiple independent combat groups, but they cooperated closely with each other.
"put!"
In an instant, seven or eight people in each independent fighting group fired arrows, and another seven or eight people shot their horses with short crossbows. The arrows passed by, and the Xiliang army in front died in battle. Countless people fell off their horses. Those Xiliang soldiers
He even fell into a brief panic.
"rush!"
As this simple word was uttered, the three thousand Wei troops at the back all raised their swords and put away their crossbows, slashed at each other with their long swords, charged quickly, gathered, and charged again. But the Xiliang troops in front were like cutting wheat.
Falling to the ground.
"Enemy generals, don't be arrogant, Su Cheng is here!" A loud shout was heard, and a general in black armor suddenly led thousands of soldiers and stood in front of Beiwei's army.
"Keep charging!"
Although his way was blocked, Zhang Xian's expression remained unchanged and his voice remained calm and powerful.
"Kill!" There were only 3,000 people in the Wei army, but the momentum that broke out at this moment was unmatched by 30,000 people.
The Xiliang Army's combat power is indeed good, and it can be regarded as one of the best soldiers in the world, but it is not enough in front of the Beiwei Army.
"die!"
The iron spear in Su Cheng's hand was aimed straight at the Beiwei sergeant in front of him. However, the Beiwei sergeant seemed not to have seen Su Cheng's shot. The long knife in his hand continued to behead Su Cheng.
go.
If Su Cheng's spear had gone out, he would have been stabbed by this soldier with a back-to-back posture. He, Su Cheng, was not an iron-headed boy. If he was stabbed in the head, he would die.
He, Su Cheng, was considered a general in the Xiliang Army, so naturally he would not trade his life with an ordinary pawn, although it seemed that the pawns in front of him were too brave.
Su Cheng retracted his spear without much thought, blocked it with both hands, and easily blocked the sword of the soldier with back Wei.
Su Cheng can be said to be one of Yang Lin's Thirteen Taibao, and his military strength has exceeded 80 points, reaching the level of a first-class general, and he is not even able to deal with a small pawn.
While blocking the blow with his spear, Su Cheng swung his spear and sent the Beiwei soldier flying away. However, before he could step forward to deal the blow, a dozen more Beiwei soldiers surrounded him at the same time.
Came over.
Since the Beiwei Army is often divided into independent combat groups during combat, each combat group has its own set of methods for joint attacks since they cooperate with each other.
Several big knives fell one after another from several directions. When Su Cheng saw it, he was frightened and hurriedly avoided it. However, at this moment, two more soldiers came up to him. The only difference from the previous ones was that,
What they hold in their hands is a short sword, not a long sword.
The sharp sword struck straight at the leg of Su Cheng's horse as he dismounted. The horse's blood splattered everywhere. Su Cheng was also thrown off the horse's back. Several swords were chopped off on the head, and another stream of blood flowed out.
