Chapter 116 Yue Fei's First Battle
Nagorbru was slightly stunned. He stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, although I don't know why the Marquis of Zhenxi hasn't attacked yet, we must not take it lightly!"
"I was too arrogant in the past, which led to the destruction of the tribe. Please be careful, my king."
After hearing this, Lu Gehongjia burst into laughter, and the other generals in the tent also laughed.
"Nagorburu, the Han Chinese have a saying that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Are you traumatized by the beatings you received from the Han Chinese?"
After saying that, he pointed at the many generals around him and continued to laugh loudly: "Look! I have many brave and combat-savvy soldiers, as well as 200,000 elite armored soldiers! I also have heavily armored cavalry and heavily armored shield soldiers!"
“Don’t even mention the Marquis of Zhenxi. Even if Ying Tianqian’s former Tiger Guards come here, they will have to lie down before me!”
"Since you have surrendered to me, I will tell you more news." Lu Gehongjia said while drinking.
"The goal of Chaoguo is not just to seize some of Daying's territory, they want the entire Daying Dynasty!" Lu Gehongjia clenched his fist and continued excitedly:
"They have been preparing for many years. When the time comes, I will lead the army south to attack Daying, and they will lead the army into the Yandong area and attack Daying from the east."
"After this is accomplished, the entire northern part of Daying will belong to me, Lu Gehongjia, and our Hu people will also start to prosper from me! Create an empire that belongs to the Hu people!"
Lugo Hongjia looked at Nagorburu with a shocked face, and his laughter became more and more loud, so much so that he was unable to react when the soldiers outside broke into the tent.
It was not until the soldier shouted several times that he finally came out of his joy. He looked at the soldier with displeasure and said sternly, "Why are you so flustered? Don't you know what kind of occasion this is?"
The Hu soldier knelt on the ground in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to me first. The spies ahead have reported! A large Han army is heading towards us. There are probably more than 100,000 of them!"
Upon hearing the news, several generals around Nagorburu also stood up. The former looked depressed and felt very nervous. He always felt a little uneasy.
More than 100,000 Han people have come? It seems that they are determined to fight to the death with the Luge tribe.
Although Lu Gehongjia has armored troops at his disposal, Daying has been strong for hundreds of years and its foundation cannot be underestimated.
If Daying was so easy to defeat, why didn't Chaoguo do it on its own instead of seeking the Luge tribal alliance?
When Lu Gehongjia heard that it was Marquis Zhenxi who came, he was not at all flustered, but became even more excited.
"You're here just in time! I've waited too long! I thought he was afraid of our Lugo tribe and wouldn't dare to come!"
Lu Gehongjia looked at the generals below and said loudly: "Generals, listen to my order. In today's battle, you must use all your strength! We must annihilate the enemy with all our strength and let these Han people stay on this grassland forever!"
All the generals immediately shouted in unison with great excitement: "It's the King!"
As soon as the words fell, a burly man eight feet tall stood up from his seat. He patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "My king! I am willing to lead 50,000 troops to meet the enemy! I will definitely chop off the head of a Han general!"
The speaker was a young general under Lu Gehongjia named Wanyan Zhen. Although he was young, he had defeated many veteran generals, and his command ability was completely unlike that of a young general.
Lu Gehongjia even liked Wanyan Zhen and believed that he was capable of winning the first battle.
"Okay! Then Wanyan Zhen, you go. If you can completely wipe out the troops sent by Zhenxi Hou, I will reward you with 10,000 slaves and 30,000 cattle and sheep when you return!"
Wanyan Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will dispatch the troops immediately!"
As the drums continued to beat, Wanyan Zhen led 50,000 armored cavalry into battle, and the 50,000 troops formed a formation and waited for the arrival of Ying Xuanze's army.
In order to help Wanyan Zhen win the first battle perfectly, Lu Gehongjia divided 50,000 of the best 100,000 cavalry into his command.
The great victory in the first battle gave a huge boost to the morale of their entire army, but it also dealt a huge blow to the morale of the enemy.
No matter what, he had to win this battle! And he had to do his best to win it, so as to minimize casualties and not affect the subsequent plan to attack Daying.
After a while, Ying Xuanze led the Tiger Guards to the battlefield. After seeing the Hu people's battle array, Ying Xuanze ordered the army to stop, with the two sides separated by several thousand meters.
Ying Xuanze looked forward. There were not many Hu soldiers coming to fight. He thought they wanted to fight his generals in a duel.
He sneered, then said to Yue Fei beside him in a deep voice: "General Yue Fei, the Hu people want to fight us in a duel. How about you fight in this battle?"
Yue Fei looked forward after hearing this. After a quick glance, he confidently clasped his fists to Ying Xuanze and said, "Tens of thousands of Hu people are nothing to be afraid of. Pengju is willing to lead the Yue Family Army to fight!"
"Okay! Pass the wine to General Yue Fei!" Ying Xuanze roared, and a soldier rode over and handed the strong liquor obtained from the Hu people to Yue Fei.
Yue Fei took the wine bag and took a big gulp. He wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly: "This wine is really strong! My lord! Pengju is gone!"
After saying that, Yue Fei ordered all the Yue Family Army soldiers to dismount, and then led the 40,000 Yue Family Army soldiers forward quickly, stopping when they were still one thousand meters away from Wanyan Zhen's army.
Wanyan Zhen did not understand Yue Fei's move. He thought to himself, did the other Han general think that the Hu people would not send cavalry to fight?
Dismount and fight as infantry? Only a fool would make such a decision, right? How could infantry be a match for cavalry? Not to mention that they were cavalrymen! Protected by armor!
"Hahaha! I don't think this Han general is that capable. This is the first time I've seen him give up fighting on horseback. Does he think he can turn the situation around with bows and arrows?"
Wanyan Zhen snorted twice, and sneered at the deputy general beside him: "If this Han general lets his troops fight us on horseback, it may not be so easy to decide the outcome."
"Unfortunately, he was too smart for his own good. Asking his men to abandon their horses would only hasten their deaths!"
Several lieutenants laughed, and Wanyan Zhen shouted, "All troops, listen up! Attack! Kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor!"
The cavalrymen behind Wanyan Zhen all looked excited. Ever since they put on this set of armor, they have yet to really try it out on humans.
Now that a group of Han people are coming to die, they don't know how excited they are! As long as they can crush this group of Han people today, they can also crush the Daying defenders in the future!
"Kill!" Fifty thousand Hu cavalrymen charged towards Yue's army with great momentum. The horses under their crotch were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye the distance between the two armies was shortened to within 500 meters.
Yue Fei raised his hand, and the Yue Family Army behind him loaded armor-piercing arrows one after another. The arrow tips glowed coldly under the sunlight.
