Wang Bolong's words were so convincing that all the generals nodded in agreement.
"If I'm right." Wang Bolong continued to laugh. "It must be that the Song army had more deep trenches and high fortifications in the west, and the Fourth Prince had not yet made any effort, so they were temporarily blocked, making these people think that our Great Jin army was just so-so. So Yue Fei's subordinates used the fact that the Zhang family army was defeated by us to squeeze Tian Shizhong... If Tian Shizhong had any shame and wanted to continue to be the commander-in-chief, he would have to come out and make trouble with us, otherwise he would have no face to stay in the army... And Yue Fei, if he still cared about the overall situation, had to let him out."
After hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly became enlightened, and one after another, they all said that what Wan Hu said made sense.
"As for the strategy." Wang Bolong retracted his fingers and continued to twirl his beard and smiled. "I know the Tian Division. Although they are far inferior to us, they are not cowards. If I am right, Tian directly went to the river bank this time and sent people to challenge us. His original intention was to surprise us and then make us suspicious or just to make us laugh. Anyway, he wanted to confuse us so that he could take the opportunity to set up a formation, lean against the embankment, and set up the big guns and crossbows... In this way, at least he can hold on for a while, and then carefully retreat after a while, and he can also boast in the army."
The other generals suddenly realized it, and then one general asked on the spot: "But if this is the case, how should we deal with it?"
"Simple." Wang Bolong's expression changed again, and he gave a stern order. "That is, we can't do what Tian wants. If he wants to delay time, we have to rush him while he is still unstable! Captain Xiao!"
"I am here." Meng'an, the Xi man who asked the question, immediately reined in his horse and spoke.
"Take fifteen Moukes with you and charge along the levee from the south!"
“Yes.”
"Zhao Ba!"
"I am here." A Han general immediately rode his horse forward.
"You also have fifteen Moukes, attacking from the north."
"yes."
"Where's Lao He?"
“Here…”
"Don't charge forward. Go and lure out the Han army from behind. When Tian can't hold on any longer, you can hold him back for me. Then follow me and push forward together. Let's see if we can take advantage of the situation to break into his camp..."
"know."
"The rest of you, wait until Lao Zhao and Lao Xiao are caught, then come with me!" Wang Bolong suddenly raised his hand and waved it fiercely. "Do it now, don't wait... In this battle, I am still the vanguard of the entire army, and I will be at the front like you!"
The generals responded loudly.
Immediately, Wang Bolun's troops, which had been wandering outside the river on the east side of the Song army's main camp, immediately separated their cavalry and infantry. The cavalry was then divided into three, with the two wings spread out first, attacking Tian's division from both the left and right sides. Finally, Wang Bolun himself led the remaining cavalry and rushed forward.
It is said that as soon as Tian Shizhong came out and crossed the river, he sent someone to challenge him. When Wang Bolun saw the man coming, he chatted and laughed for a few words, then gave the order directly without waiting for an instant.
Then they just did what they said, leaving the infantry behind and letting the cavalry move first. How fast was that?
Not to mention Gao Jingshan who was still waiting for the hot air balloon on the city wall, even Yue Fei on the hill was stunned... He was still worried that the plan to lure the enemy might fail.
However, these people were far apart, so it was normal for them to have some cognitive deviations. However, there was one person who reacted very quickly, and that was Tian Shizhong, who was the closest to them.
You know, in order to lure the enemy, Tian Shizhong brought out two command units that were relatively weak, and he was already a little cautious. What made him even more horrified was that as soon as he crossed the river and came to the embankment here, he immediately noticed something, that is, the cavalry of Wang Bolun's unit were all fully armored!
This means two things.
First of all, Wang Bolong really couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to go into battle, so he didn't take off his armor the entire morning.
Secondly, since they are fully armored, Wang Bolun’s troops, especially the main cavalry, can definitely attack at any time.
Therefore, the moment he crossed the dike and noticed this matter, Tian Shizhong keenly realized that what he had to worry about next was not whether the lure of the enemy would be successful, but whether the two Imperial Camp Right Army Commanding Departments used to lure the enemy could be preserved.
In fact, Wang Bolun guessed correctly. The messenger was not trying to provoke Wang Bolun, but to delay time.
At this time, with this in mind, as soon as the Jin army moved, Tian Shizhong naturally did not hesitate and ordered the front team to become the rear team, with the two designated vanguard commanders each leading four to five hundred people as the rear guard, to cover the remaining troops to quickly cross the river and withdraw to the big camp.
However, even if Tian Shizhong reacted very quickly, how could the three thousand fully armored Jin cavalry on both wings be slow? Seeing the Song army retreating, the Jin army, who had long wanted to gain military merit, did not hesitate. Without waiting for the formation to be arranged or for all the troops to be in place, they rushed along the levee from both wings.
The Jin cavalry had no time to adjust their charging group, and the Song army troops turned hastily. The two sides gathered together in a chaotic manner and fell directly into a melee.
However, the two wings of cavalry collided with the two rear guard headquarters arranged by Tian Shizhong. Therefore, Tian Shizhong, as the commander, did not waver at all, but urged the central troops to return to the camp quickly.
But at this time, Wang Bolong's general flag also moved. Seeing that the Song army was about to retreat, he led his troops to charge hastily without caring about the unorganized formation.
You know what, Wang Bolun’s attack was really successful.
The main force of the Song army had turned around and climbed onto the river bank and was heading out onto the ice. The two headquarters left as the rear guard had less than a thousand people in total. Their two wings were sandwiched, and their rear was empty. Then they were rushed in the face by Wang Bolun, and suffered huge casualties almost instantly, and then collapsed immediately.
