Chapter 26: Where is Hu Chen’s Iron Cavalry now? Bait Army!

If the historical records are correct, the next battle of Yingchang will be the last major battle of the Yue family's army's northern expedition.

Yang Jun knew that no matter how careful he was, at least he had lived well so far, which was very inconsistent with historical records. Besides, Yang did not have any bullshit obligations such as not being able to interfere with the development of history. These days, Mingda’s goal is to live out from the banks of Xiaoshang River. Now that he has completed this important task, he has unloaded a big rock in his mind. How could he care about the historical process?

But Yang Jun knew that from this moment on, the so-called history no longer exists, and those memories of past lives that can guide themselves to survive cannot give themselves any guidance in the days to come.

Of course, Boss Yue’s final outcome or the phased balance between Song and Jin dynasties belongs to the real overall situation. Even our Yang Commander alone cannot cause any big waves. I guess these will happen sooner or later.

But how is it best for you now?

Yang Jun hesitated.

"Say, or not? This is a problem!"

The Yue family army rushed to Linying at a speed slightly faster than the Jin soldiers, but after all, Wu Shu's work on the rear was completely hiding. The remaining Jin cavalry teams were attacked along the way. Although the scale was not large, they were between fifty and hundreds of cavalry each time, and they were about to leave and there was no fierce battle. However, such a small-scale encounter caused effective obstacles to the marching.

Every time there was an encounter, Yang Jun divided two cavalry and reported the situation to Zhang Xian. At night, he rushed to Linying step by step, but he failed to pursue Wu Shu's main force. Yang Jun was cautious. He had scouts along the way and headed for ten miles in advance. Once he found any abnormal movement, he would send dozens of cavalry to test it clearly, so that the brigade would be pushed forward. If Wu Shu had a counter-ambuster on the way, the battle behind would be difficult to fight.

Although in Yang Jun's opinion, these careful actions may be unnecessary and you just need to attack Yingchang, how can you tell Zhang Xian?

Could it be that: "The deputy commander, you don't need to send a scout, just hit him!"

Most of the time Zhang Xian would have given Yang Jun "military law".

This is the basic way of using troops. In addition, what Yang Jun really can't figure out is that if Wu Shu really loses his eyes, Lin Ying is going to fight the Yue family army to the death?

With the advantage of geographical advantages and the majority of troops, the battle of Linying was originally unfavorable to the Yue family army. What if Wu Shu turned around and insisted on fighting against the Yue family army to the death without caring about Yingchang's layout?

Yang Jun dared not express this attitude casually, and he had to talk about it at Linying City.

Linying City in the twilight finally appeared in front of Yang Jun, based on the information obtained in his previous life. Yang Jun carefully followed the general order along the way. Although he was a little frustrated, he finally arrived safely.

Linying City is slightly taller than Yancheng, and the city wall is about five or six meters high. It is probably because of the war that each side will have to repair it after garrisoning. It looks much better than the broken city wall of Yancheng. Although I have never seen the Yue family army attack the city, it should take a lot of effort to attack the city. What made Yang Jun feel broader was that there were obviously signs of large troops stationed outside the city, but there was only a huge empty camp, and even the military tent and some food and grass were not moved. Wu Shu should have left Linying.

Originally, today's battle had changed the situation of Wu Shu, but it seemed that Wu Shu still went to Yingchang with all his might and had no plans to fight the Yue family army in Linying!

Linying City is slightly larger than Yancheng, but it cannot accommodate more than 100,000 troops. Especially the damage to this city is not very serious. I think there should be some residents in the city.

When the Jin soldiers on the city wall saw nearly a thousand people of Song cavalry, they were busy blowing their horns and whistling, and they were in a panic. The city wall was sparse and the flags were chaotic. At a glance, they could tell that they were not the main elite of Wushu, but probably mainly the signing army.

So Wu Shu should not be in the city.

"Yang Zheng, what should I do now?" Gao Lin and other deputy generals saw that the Jin soldiers on the city were in chaos, and they all wanted to take the initiative to attack.

"What else can I do? Linying is already an empty city. If I expected it would be fine, I'm afraid that even the cavalry would not even go to the 300 cavalry! No matter how much you curse you, the Tartars will never go out of the city to fight! The deputy commander's front army will arrive soon, so wait for the deputy commander to decide!" Yang Jun did not intend to participate in the siege here, and it was not the turn of the cavalry's main force to siege the city.

But at the current speed, if the infantry and the army bring their supplies to the city and start attacking the city, it will be a matter of noon.

Sure enough, after the Xu hour, the army gathered at the city.

"The three hundred cavalry of the front army are in thirty teams, and they will raise fires within twenty miles to search. No room or mound are allowed to miss!"

Zhang Xian was very nervous when he learned that there was an empty camp outside the city.

After hearing what Yang Jun reported, Wu Shu's main force had gone, and the sentry sent out feedback that there were no Jin soldiers within twenty miles, he felt relieved. Yue's army had surrounded Linying into an iron barrel, and the square formation of torches illuminated the sky, but it was not until the hour of Hai that it started to attack the city. From Yang Jun to the city to the long ladder, in two hours, the city was panicked several times, and finally he threw himself into the battle.

Although this battle cannot be said to be full-scale investment in the Yue family army, it is also the largest assembly of the Yue family army in this Northern Expedition, with a total of nearly 70,000 cavalry and infantry, which is the greatest force that Yue Fei can provide at present. Other forces are also distributed in Zhucheng conquered by Jingdong Road and on Zhucheng in Jingxi Road conquered by Niu Gao.

Although Yancheng was the headquarters of the commander camp, connecting the army of the east and west, as well as the hub between the front and rear, he had to have nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers guarded. Yue Fei had even asked Liu Qi for help. Yue Fei was a little dissatisfied with Liu Qi's defense. Since the Battle of Shunchang, the Eight Characters Army has not made much achievements under Liu Qi's command. Instead, the Yue family army, who later led the people, joined the famous city and compressed the Jin soldiers outside the ancient capital Kaifeng Prefecture to the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng, making Wushu helpless.

"Deputy Commander, I have a word, I wonder if it is available?" Yang Jun saw Lin Ying's attack hot, and knew that he could not play much role here. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind to make a comment to Zhang Xian.

"Yang Zheng, but it's okay!" Zhang Xian didn't look back. At this moment, he was only concerned about the top of the city. The Yue family army had already gained a foothold in some places. The great achievements were achieved. It was only a matter of breaking the city for a while. Although some people had lost their power, it could be seen that the defenders were definitely not elite. After only one and a half hours of fighting, there was no power to counterattack in the city. Wu Shu must be not in the city.

"The deputy commander thought, where is the Wushu army now?" Yang Jun did not dare to express his conclusion with certainty, and still carefully solicited Zhang Xian's opinions.

"This" Zhang Xian pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head: "Brother Yang means, will Wu Shu return to Zhuxian Town?"

"If Wu Shu wants to take down Yingchang City, he must be in front of our army to Yingchang City. Otherwise, our Yue family army has a strong city to rely on. How can Wu Shu succeed? Now that our army can reach Linying, we can set off tomorrow and arrive in Yingchang within one day. There will not be too much time for Wu Shu to use!" Yang Jun still refused to throw out the conclusion, but threw all the analysis to Zhang Xian.

"But, in front of Mr. Yue, he only said that Lin Yingying was taken down. In the battle of Yingchang, the Eight Characters Army must arrive after the aid..." Zhang Xian hesitated.

Yang Jun was silent for a while and pointed at the city head: "The deputy commander thought that Wu Shu arranged these thousands of troops to station Yu Linying to defend the city or..."
