Zhang Yu looked carefully at the more than 200 Song soldiers sitting there, and he became alert in his heart. He nodded repeatedly: "Brother, you are right! Pass on my military order. Before the reinforcements from the Great Jin arrive, no one is allowed to go to battle without authorization, otherwise I will chop him up and make meat stuffing for the New Year!"
The two thousand soldiers who followed were hoping for the same, so naturally they had no objection.
In this way, the two sides fought for a while. After a long time, when the sun was high in the sky, the messenger sent to Wanyan Wushu finally returned.
"What did you say?" Zhang Yu was expectant. "Did you see the Fourth Prince in person?"
"General, the Fourth Prince said it himself." The messenger said on horseback. "He said that no matter what, let the General decide for himself!"
Zhang Yu was stunned there. After thinking for a long time, he felt helpless but also relaxed. He nodded in agreement, but at the same time asked the messenger to go back again to tell the Fourth Prince that "he had received the order."
As soon as the messenger left, Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then turned to his deputy general Li Dayin and said, "Dayin, the weather is cold, the government troops are trying to lure the enemy, and the Jurchens don't want to fight. So we brothers shouldn't all stay here to suffer the wind. There are still four hours before sunset. You can use the crossbows on the wall as a token and lead a thousand soldiers to guard here for two hours. I will take the people back to rest and come to replace you in the afternoon!"
Li Dayin naturally had nothing to say.
So, in the morning, the winter day was clear, cold and windy. After judging that this Song army was coming to lure the enemy, Zhang Yu, who was standing outside the camp to confront them, took the initiative to divide his troops and retreat.
Three hundred steps away, Wang De saw this scene and finally took action, but he stood up and stretched his hands and feet. Zhang Yu, who was far away, was reminded and looked back to see this scene. He was instinctively startled, and then he called the troops to stop and stop to watch again. But after watching for a while, he found that the Song army just stood up and stretched their hands and feet, and after a while, they actually sat back down.
Zhang Yu felt puzzled, and after thinking about it, he became more convinced that the other party was trying to lure him, so he ignored it and continued to urge the already somewhat chaotic troops to return to the camp. This time, the Song army did not do anything weird... until Zhang Yu himself entered the gate, and half of the troops behind him had already left the original formation.
This is the moment Wang De has been waiting for!
The Yaksha stood up and mounted his horse without saying a word. The twenty knights beside him also mounted their horses. The two hundred axe-carrying soldiers also stood up and picked up their axes.
Li Dayin was startled and wanted to turn around and call Zhang Yu, but then he thought that the enemy might have seen through his plan, so he simply gave up luring the enemy back to the camp... Let alone anything else, who would have the courage to charge two thousand with only two hundred? Behind the two thousand armored soldiers were the stockade wall and archers?
When he thought of this, the talented craftsman reined in his horse and tried to remain calm.
However, in a flash, just as Li Dayin changed his mind and did not say anything, Wang De had already mounted his horse and ignored everything and led twenty riders straight forward.
At the same time, one of the twenty riders directly opened a hanging flag that had been hidden for a long time. The winter wind was blowing, and the flag fluttered in the wind. It was the eight characters "Wang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Camp Central Army".
Perhaps he didn't realize it for a moment, Li Dayin was simply stunned at this time, and only realized it when he saw the other party rushing to him about 180 steps away... Besides, he was originally the defender of Tokyo during the Jingkang period, and later served under the Tokyo garrison. This time he attacked Nanyang City for a long time, how could he not know that this flag refers to Wang De? And how could he not know who Wang De was? What ability did he have?
As a result, the man felt his whole body hair stand on end for a moment, but he didn't care about anything else. He just turned his horse back and prepared to escape into the formation to make further plans.
However, at this time Zhang Yu's two thousand soldiers were divided into two. Half of them left the original formation. The front had already followed Zhang Yu into the gate, and the back was still in the formation. It was already a bit chaotic... and now, seeing the Song army led by the world-famous Wang Yasha rushing over, one of the two main generals had already left, and the other actually tried to turn around and flee, then the entire army, those who should have entered the camp naturally accelerated and pushed forward, and those who should not leave also instinctively wanted to follow their comrades into the camp to hide.
Two thousand armored soldiers were lined up with their backs to the main camp, but after twenty cavalrymen charged in the face, they were instantly thrown into disarray.
That was not all. As a few scattered crossbows on the opposite wall missed their targets, Wang De jumped into the rebel camp, swung his long axe and killed several people in succession. He easily killed a group of armored soldiers in front of him. Just as Zhang Yu hurriedly turned around and Li Dayin was shouting orders to resist in the camp, he held the bloody axe and shouted:
"The royal army has arrived! You rebels will die today!"
The sound was like winter thunder, shaking the rebels. After he finished speaking, only a moment later, two hundred heavily armored long-axe soldiers behind him charged on foot and rushed into the opposing rebels' formation, hacking away wantonly! Not only that, as Wang De officially marched forward, drums and shouts of killing rose from behind the sheep and horse wall under Nanyang City in the distance. No less than thousands of soldiers pushed down the sheep and horse wall that had already been half-covered, set up ladders on the outer trench, and swarmed out, heading straight for the rebel camp in the east!
The two thousand soldiers whose formation had been broken were thrown into panic when they saw this sight and heard this sound.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu remained calm. On the one hand, he killed the deserters at the gate and forced the soldiers who were already in chaos to fight forward. On the other hand, he instructed the archers on the wall to prepare to attack the upcoming Song army... He also sent a messenger through the side door of the camp to ask for help from the Jin army camp!
However, at the same time, Li Dayin, who was supposed to be in command at the front, had already lost his mind and was incompetent! Because Wang Yasha had obviously stared at him, and he was unable to catch up with him even with the twenty riders.
