Yue Fei waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me to Baijugou."
Zhao Huan ordered Jin Wushu to be hanged and his body buried on the banks of the Hela River in the same manner as a general. He also ordered the construction of a mausoleum for him, which was also a kind of respect for his opponent.
"Your Majesty, General Yue is here." The soldier reported.
Zhao Huan was delighted: "Please come in quickly."
Yue Fei brought his generals to the camp, "Greetings, Your Majesty!" the generals said in unison.
Zhao Huan said happily: "Everyone has made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. I will definitely reward you greatly."
"Your Majesty," Yue Fei clasped his fists and said, "We can discuss the matter of rewards later. Currently, Zhongjing is still occupied by Wanyan Gufang. I request Your Majesty to direct this siege."
"I?" Zhao Huan immediately understood that Yue Fei wanted to give the credit for the victory to himself.
Hearing this, Zhao Huan was even more delighted: "Very well, pass on my order. In three days, attack the city! The first one to reach the city wall will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"
In name, Zhao Huan was in charge of commanding the siege, but in reality, the deployment of troops, defense, and coordination of various military branches were all directed by Yue Fei.
The most impressive move was that Yue Fei united the Imperial Guards with the Yue Family Army and concentrated their forces to launch a massive feint attack on the West City. Wanyan Gufang also concentrated his superior forces in the West City. In fact, Yue Fei's elite troops launched a fierce attack on the South City Gate.
As a result, when Wanyan Gufang was in the west city, he panicked and sent his troops to the south gate.
As soon as Wanyan Gufang arrived at the South Gate with his troops, the West Gate launched a fierce attack and the city was soon broken.
This kind of battle was impossible to fight. The entire Zhongjing was surrounded by Yue's army and the imperial guards. The city walls were not strong, and the number of people was insufficient.
The Imperial Guards were not good at siege warfare, but their morale was immediately boosted by the fearless Yue Army, and they rushed up the city wall with roars.
Zhao Huan was surrounded by layers of guards. He stood outside the city and watched, full of admiration in his heart.
The Imperial Guards were far superior to Yue's army in both individual combat capability and equipment. However, once they joined forces, the Yue's army's advantage immediately became apparent.
