After all, Zhentianlei has no fuze, so it cannot really be like the hand grenade of later generations.
Yue Fei and the others were overjoyed when they saw the city gate opened.
Dozens of people in the vanguard immediately turned their horses' heads, dragged Yang Zhong who had been beaten and disabled, and withdrew to the main force behind.
As soon as Yue Fei came back, he ordered people to beat drums, put on armor, and line up.
In the army brought out by Yue Fei, there were only 2000 people with heavy armor, and the rest were leather armor.
But enough, these people are different from the forbidden army in the past, these are soldiers supervised by Zong Ze himself, picked out to give Yue Fei the military merits in the north.
In the orthodox history, it was Zong Ze who discovered Yue Fei and gave him a chance to show his talents.
Moreover, under Zhao Ning's operation, the logistics supplies are sufficient, and under Zongze's rectification, the military discipline of the Daming Mansion is as strict as a mountain.
It can be judged from their proficiency in wearing armor, and they have undergone countless trainings.
"Archers line up!" Yue Fei shouted.
The archers in leather armor shifted quickly and neatly to the front, behind the forward heavy infantry.
Zhang Xian said: "Yue Dutong, the opponent has heavy armor, and the archers are afraid..."
Yue Fei was riding on a horse, and while inspecting the troops, he said succinctly: "The opponent lacks battlefield experience. When they see bows and arrows, they will dodge, destroy the opponent's formation, and then charge."
Zhang Xian was immediately convinced, Yue Fei's mind turned too quickly before the battle, this kind of operation that seemed to violate military common sense, but he had deep thinking.
"All the archers behind come forward!"
The troops in the middle quickly began to change formations. This is the time to test the mobility of an army and the command of the commander.
The so-called unmoving like a mountain, moving like a thunder, is the elite!
Yue Fei quickly shuttled through the troops and shouted: "Array! Zuoying archers in array! A line!"
The archers quickly arranged their formation, and the rest of the infantry also moved quickly.
Everyone knows that Yuedu's unified formation has very high requirements and must be aligned in a straight line. This is a manifestation of strict military discipline, and there is no sloppy in the slightest.
After the bow and arrow battalion was lined up, the drums of the Song army became denser, like a torrential rain.
At this time, Yang Jin's men left the city and were still in formation. The formation was crooked, and some of them even wore their heavy-armored hats crookedly.
What's more, there complained: "This armor is too heavy, I don't want to wear it anymore!"
Yang Jin didn't care about these either, how could he understand military matters?
He is at most a bandit leader, and the bandit leader is still at the level of fighting in groups.
When fighting in groups, it is about the number of people, so just do it. He doesn't care about the military formation and military discipline, thinking that those are useless, and the number of people is strength.
If he has read military books for a few days and read some history books, he will know that the more people there are, the worse the military discipline is, and the easier it is to lose.
Yue Fei drew out his saber and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
As soon as he gave an order, arrows rained from the Song Army's bow and arrow battalion immediately, rushing densely into the air, forming a black mass.
It seemed as if a black cloud had risen out of thin air, pressing towards Yang Jin's army in front of the tower.
When Yang Jin's people saw it, they were frightened out of their wits and screamed instinctively.
Some fell to the ground and covered their heads with their hands, while others turned around and ran away.
In fact, before they went into battle, they knew that the armor on their bodies could defend them.
But when he actually went to the battlefield and saw such a dense rain of arrows, his previous habitual cognition couldn't be adjusted for a while.
This is the difference between an untrained army and a trained army.
The rain of arrows fell and hit the iron armor, making a "ding ding" sound.
But Yang Jin's army was already in a panic, how could Yang Jin think of this level of group behavior, he shouted loudly: "Come on!"
But his voice was drowned in panic.
Song Jun immediately nocked his arrow and started the second round of shooting.
Since the second round of shooting, Yang Jin's striker has been in a mess.
Some people turned around and started to run, and panic immediately spread. Some people who were not hit by the arrows, when they heard the shouts of fleeing for their lives, suddenly panicked and started to turn around and run away.
Everyone began to squeeze towards the gate of the city.
"Get out of the way, let me in!"
"This armor is too heavy, don't want it!"
"Let me go in first!"
"..."
Yang Jin himself was stunned, he didn't expect that the army collapsed just after meeting each other!
Seeing the collapse of the opposing army, Yue Fei immediately ordered to charge.
The vanguard rushed towards the city gate like a tide. They twisted their iron bones, rushed forward and began to slap people's heads.
The guards at the top of the city panicked when they saw this posture.
Yang Jin quickly shouted: "Quickly close the city gate!"
"My lord, they are all outside..."
Where did Yang Jin worry so much, he shouted: "Quickly close the city gate!"
"Yes Yes……"
The people at the top of the city pulled up the brakes, and the city gate began to slowly descend.
Yang Jin saw that the Song army had rushed down to the city, rushed over in three steps, hacked down several times, trying to cut off the rope of the gate, but the rope was too strong.
He immediately changed the axe, and after a few axes went down, the rope broke.
The gate fell with a bang, and those who were under the gate before entering the city were crushed by the heavy iron city gate.
Five people were cut off on the spot, and even the iron armor was crushed.
They didn't die right away, howling there.
But their wailing was drowned out in panic, and no one paid any attention to them.
When the army outside saw that the city gate was closed, they all wailed: "My lord, open the gate, we haven't entered the city yet!"
Yang Jin ignored them.
Seeing that the city gate was closed, the defeated rebels had no choice but to throw down their armor and surrender.
Yue Fei began to collect prisoners in front of Yang Jin, and Yang Jin, who was at the head of the city, roared angrily, "Shoot the arrows and shoot them to death!"
Shoot arrows?
The city did start to release arrows, but they had just shot a few arrows, and they hadn't caused any casualties to the Song army, so they couldn't pull the bow.
Anyone who has shot arrows knows that this thing requires long-term training. For those who have not received training, after five arrows, their arms will start to weaken.
This is also the reason why in the age of firearms, the range of flintlock guns was not as far as that of bows and arrows, but they replaced bows and arrows.
A bow and arrow needs to be cultivated for two years before it can be qualified for the battlefield.
But a musketeer can go to the battlefield in two months, which greatly lowers the threshold and expands the number of people.
That's why in the Napoleon era, Europeans could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to the battlefield at every turn.
Having said that, the bows and arrows at the top of the city quickly wilted, and Yue Fei sent people to easily pull the prisoners.
In Yue Fei's view, there are no soldiers who can't fight, only commanders who can't lead troops.
Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better.
This is the difference between a qualified military commander and an idiot.
I am not afraid of crowds, I have military law here, and anyone who violates the military law will be killed without mercy, and they will follow the military law.
Those who can't keep up will be eliminated, and those who remain will be strong.
This is the army!
So, as a prisoner of Yue Fei, nearly 2 people were captured.
Yang Jin was so angry that he stamped his feet on the wall.
Knowing how powerful Yue Fei is, Yang Jin didn't dare to act recklessly.
But Yue Fei didn't intend to let him go. The military situation was urgent. At noon, Yue Fei rushed out 100 primitive ladders and started to attack the city.
Chapter 118 Fooling the Golden Army, Acting as a Full Set of Yue Fei
After the ladder was ready, Yue Fei gave Yang Jin almost no time to rest, and quickly began to attack the city.
It took only half an hour for the city to be captured by the Song army.
In the afternoon, the gates of the city were opened, and Yue Fei led the army into the city to take back Fucheng.
The first thing Yue Fei did when he regained Fucheng was to rectify military affairs. At the same time, he sent people to the Yellow River to inquire about intelligence.
Sure enough, traces of the Jin army were found by the Yellow River, and a group of Jin troops had already crossed the Yellow River.
It's too late to intercept it now, so we can only defend Fucheng first, and at the same time, send people to quickly report to Dongguang County and Wuqiao County.
He even sent people to the Cangzhou government to report to Li Gang.
When Wan Yanchang ran to Fucheng happily and saw the flag "Yang" flying on the top of the city, he was sure that it was Yang who attacked and occupied Fucheng.
But Wan Yanchang is not such idiots as Yang Jin and Kong Yanzhou, he did not enter the city rashly, but sent people into the city to test it first.
Yue Fei also did a full set of plays. He learned that the top management of the Jin Army had never met Yang Jin, so he pretended to be Yang Jin and met Wan Yanchang's emissary.
And with a group of people, they extended a warm welcome to Wan Yanchang's envoy.
After a touching conversation, Wan Yanchang's envoy went out of the city to report, saying that the one inside was Yang Jin.
Even Yue Fei made some preparations, and personally took people out to meet Wan Yanchang.
Wan Yanchang felt a little strange when he saw Yue Fei. Didn't this Yang Jin come from a reckless family? Why does he look stronger than Lao Tzu?
Wan Yanchang didn't think too much, after all the city gates are open, so why not go in?
Even if there is fraud, it is vulnerable to absolute strength.
Therefore, he first sent 8000 people into the city to incorporate Yang Jin's troops, and then entered the city by himself after everything was rectified.
Yue Fei saw that Wan Yanchang was not fooled, so he didn't force him.
After all, twisted melons are not sweet, so don't come in unless the coach comes in.
8000 people, you can only accept as soon as you see it!
Soon, the first batch of 8000 people entered the city. Just after entering the city, Wan Yanchang saw the people at the top of the city, and suddenly chopped off the rope with a few axes, and the city gate crashed down.
Wan Yanchang was a little confused, what's the matter?
Others were also a little confused.
After entering the city, the Jin army was still on the main road, and when they heard the city gate crashing down behind them, they were suddenly surprised.
The archers and crossbowmen who had been ambushing on both sides for a long time began to attack immediately.
Immediately, the dense rain of arrows fell down, those golden soldiers in iron armor were fine, but those in leather armor were miserable.
Wearing leather armor was immediately honeycombed.
Half of this golden army wore leather armor.
At first, when the arrow rain appeared, it was panic, and then a large number of people were shot to death, screaming one after another.
A man with heavy armor rushed into the alley, but was besieged by the heavy armor of the Song army that had already been prepared.
The terrain in the alley is very simple. We have ambushed dozens of people, and seven or eight people from your side have just burst in, and the ones behind have not yet burst in.
Dozens of people from our side cut dozens of axes first as a respect.
Wan Yanchang outside the city knew he had been fooled when he heard the screams inside. He was furious and began to call Yue Fei mean and shameless.
However, the Song army at the head of the city had already prepared defensive tools such as crossbows, wood, and stones.
But Wan Yanchang, because he came too fast, did not bring the siege equipment.
He originally expected Yang Jin to open the city gate and go in, so of course he didn't bring siege equipment, so this is really a mess.
