Chapter 419 The Battle of Yancheng
As some commentators have pointed out, the two cavalry formations used by Wanyan Zongbi ultimately failed to harm the enemy and instead backfired on him!
The live stream continues:
"Just as the two armies were locked in a fierce battle, Yue Fei personally led forty elite cavalrymen, and soon appeared before the enemy lines."
"These cavalrymen were actually Yue Fei's personal guards. Even before he set off, some people had tried to dissuade him, fearing something might go wrong."
"Yue Fei remained proactive, leading by example, and charged straight into the Jin army's position like an arrow on horseback."
"When the valiant Yue Family Army witnessed their commander, Yue Fei, charging into the Jin army's camp just like them, the soldiers were greatly inspired and immediately fought with all their might."
"Even Yang Zaixing, a fierce general under Yue Fei, boasted that he would capture Wanyan Zongbi alive! He single-handedly charged into the Jin army camp and killed nearly a hundred men."
"But at the same time, he was also covered in wounds and had no choice but to break through the encirclement."
"In this battle, Yue Fei's army and the Jin army fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, from day to night. The Jin army was left with corpses strewn across the battlefield, and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat and fled in disarray."
"Yue Family Army thus won a great victory, killing their chieftain and capturing more than two hundred warhorses."
"However, due to the loss of the supplementary report, more specific details are unknown."
"But it cannot be denied that although the records that have been left behind may be few words, the soldiers at that time were brave and fearless, and they really fought to the death with the Jin army, and were engaged in a bitter battle!"
"This makes me even more disgusted with Zhao Gou's character. He insists on begging for peace and even tries to frame his generals! Isn't it all thanks to these people that he hasn't been arrested yet?"
"The result is ingratitude!!" Lin Ke was furious again, she was practically seething with anger.
"But Wanyan Zongbi was like an unkillable cockroach, still unwilling to give up and wanting to find an opportunity to retaliate."
"If the descendants of the Zhao family could have this awareness, stop holding us back, and stand firm and stand up for us, then talents like Yue Fei, Zong Ze, and Li Gang would not have been wasted!"
Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu: If our Zhao family had such descendants, how could it have been Emperors Huizong and Qinzong who ended up like this!
Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty: ...Can this really be changed so easily??
Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty: The more I listen, the more I feel sorry for General Yue Fei. He was ruined by those two scoundrels, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui! If he had a choice, I would advise him to find a different boss!
Crown Prince Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty: If we're going to replace him, it should be someone like our Emperor, someone who shouldn't have ended up like this! Peace my foot! We should fight when necessary!
Di Qing of the Great Song Dynasty: That's true. Putting aside everything else, Emperor Wu's attitude towards the Xiongnu was something that ordinary people couldn't match!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: The more exhilarating the battle is now, the more frustrating it will be later!
......
Upon seeing Zhu Di's comments, everyone suddenly realized that Yue Fei's prowess in battle did not necessarily mean that the Song Dynasty was particularly powerful.
Their greatest enemy in reclaiming their homeland was not the Jurchens, but Zhao Gou!
The Southern Song Dynasty became weaker and weaker in its later years, and Zhao Gou, who founded the Southern Song Dynasty, actually bears most of the responsibility!
I heard that the last few people who died in the Southern Song Dynasty died tragically. It was all their own doing, and in the end, they all died for their country!
Thinking of this, everyone felt helpless again!
……
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han
After scrolling through the comments, Liu Che put the small screen aside. Of course he felt joy at the praise from later generations!
But he maintained a serious expression, then laughed loudly, "What later generations said is not without reason. How could I be compared to those cowards of the Zhao family?!"
The other ministers present expressed their fervent agreement, secretly thinking: "...His Majesty is practically strutting around with his hands on his hips... But when it comes to being cowardly, the Zhao family is second to none!"
