Inside the city gate tower.
"General, these fearless bastards are here again," a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry said in a deep voice.
Yue Fei nodded slightly and smiled faintly, saying:
“In the last battle, I followed the lord’s orders and did not rush to pursue them, but I did not expect that this would embolden them.”
"In that case, killing tens of thousands of them last time was not enough."
"It seems that the number of people who came today has been replenished."
Seeing Fang Cheng and his troops drawing ever closer, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman spoke up:
"General, shall we fight?"
Yue Fei looked up and saw a vast expanse of white plains, with a huge, dark mass of troops rushing forward. He said coldly:
"They've come in so aggressively, do they really think they can break through like this?"
"Is there a hidden plan, or... is he really just an incompetent general?"
"You've come with such a menacing air today, trying to lure me out of seclusion for a battle, and then..."
Just then, Fang Cheng shouted again:
"Yue Fei! Why don't you dare to speak? Are you afraid of me?"
"Today I have led my army here to fight you to the death. Do you dare to come out and fight me for three hundred rounds?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei raised an eyebrow, while the soldiers beside him were already amused.
"General, this man is truly arrogant. Last time we fought, you almost killed him with a single spear thrust, yet today he claims to have fought three hundred rounds. I don't know where he gets his confidence from!"
"Even if I were to fight him, he wouldn't be a match for me!"
Fang Cheng was still shouting, "Come on! Bring your men out here and fight me!"
"If you're scared, then surrender now, and maybe we'll spare your life!"
"If you remain obstinate and continue to oppose the imperial court, no one can protect you! Helping the traitor Qin Ze rebel is a capital offense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman immediately became enraged.
"General, this man is extremely arrogant. Let's go out and fight him!"
Yue Fei waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "No, something is definitely amiss!"
"Last time they were utterly defeated by us, but just a few days later they're back with their army. Their confidence and fearlessness suggest they might have a hidden plan."
"Who knows, there might be a larger army behind them!"
"Otherwise, with such a small force, what gives them the confidence to challenge us to battle? Wouldn't that be suicide?"
After he finished speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman's face darkened.
"But...it doesn't really look like it."
Yue Fei calmly replied, "Let me test him."
Then he looked at Fang Cheng and coldly shouted:
"A defeated general dares to speak so arrogantly; he truly doesn't know the meaning of death!"
"The checkpoint is right here; come in."
Fang Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words.
Entering the pass, it's impossible for 100,000 people to go in at once. Only by fighting in the open area outside the pass can victory be achieved by having superior numbers.
If they go in, wouldn't that mean risking lives?
Then he shouted, "Come out here!"
Yue Fei sneered and rebuked, "Seeing your fierce approach, I thought you had the guts to attack in one fell swoop, but it turns out you don't even dare to enter the pass?"
"Instead of making such a fuss, you should go home and take care of your children."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Cheng's face turned red, and anger surged from his chest to his head.
He looked around and said, "Charge! Charge in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant immediately said, "No, General! If we charge straight in, who knows how many people will be killed? This is risking lives!"
"We have a better chance of winning if we fight outside here."
Fang Cheng immediately retorted, "Do you think I don't know?"
"What can I do if he doesn't come out? Taking over Beiliang would be a great achievement!"
"At this point in our lives, are any of us soldiers afraid of dying?"
The deputy general's face flushed slightly at these words.
Fang Cheng then addressed the crowd, saying, "Those who achieve the greatest merit will rise rapidly in their careers and enjoy wealth and honor!"
"Charge in! Charge!"
Immediately, Fang Cheng ordered the original 70,000 troops to be the first to charge towards the pass.
He then led his 20,000 elite troops in close pursuit!
"kill!"
With a loud shout, the troops surged toward the pass like a tidal wave!
This scene startled Yue Fei for a moment, then he chuckled softly:
"How strange!"
"Such a command of troops is truly rare!"
The next moment, he raised his arms and shouted:
"The enemy is arrogant! They dare to enter the pass and attack us, so let's beat them until they're bloodied and bruised!"
"Prepare for the enemy!"
Although the pass was not particularly narrow, Fang Cheng's army could not enter at the same time, so they had no choice but to charge in recklessly.
Faced with the overwhelming enemy troops, Yue Fei immediately led his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to retreat, unafraid that they would charge in!
Instead, he wanted to let some of these people rush in, and then lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge forward in one fell swoop!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are most skilled in mounted combat. Given the distance they have to charge, they would not be afraid even if 100,000 men came in at the same time.
Moreover, they can't all rush in at once!
At this moment, Fang Cheng, who was in the rear, was overjoyed to see the soldiers in front of him enter the pass so easily!
"I thought we'd be facing a fierce battle at the checkpoint, but who would have thought we'd get in so easily!"
"Alright! Let's charge in with one burst of energy!"
"Today is the day we conquer Beiliang! Hahaha!"
Fang Cheng laughed triumphantly, his face flushing with excitement.
