The "Killing Fengkou" battle was not large in the countless battles in which the Heavenly Dao Army pacified the world. However, it left a strong mark in history, which is well known to the world and future generations. It also produced countless versions of artistic expression, which is legendary because this is Zheng Linfeng, the founder of the Dahua Dynasty, who was one of the only defeats in dozens of battles commanded by him himself, and it is also the most dangerous battle. He himself almost buried here like the hidden meaning of the "Killing Fengkou". More importantly, this battle was also the first battle between Zheng Linfeng and Li Gang, and the first collision between two heroes of the era.

Zheng Fei didn't know that Li Gang had arrived at Daming Mansion, nor did he know that Li Gang had already begun to command the Song army. He just rushed to Daming Mansion, and this was exactly the trap of Li Gang.

After Li Gang arrived at Daming Mansion, he completely ignored the fatigue of traveling for several days and days, and quickly went to see Yao Gu and gave Yao Gu three "surprises".

The first one is that Yao Gu was very surprised that Li Gang could come so quickly. He only received news that Li Gang wanted to be a military supervisor a few days ago. He was full of plans and expected that Li Gang would not arrive at at least ten days later. Unexpectedly, he saw Li Gang in just three days. When he learned from Yao Pingzhong who accompanied Li Gang how Li Gang was desperately rushing through the journey, Yao Gu instantly made three preliminary judgments about Li Gang: one, a madman, two, a madman who didn't want to live, three, a madman who didn't want to live.

In addition to admiration for Li Gang, there is an extremely grateful feeling, because Yao Gu has learned from other channels that his life can be saved, and even the entire Yao family can be said to be entirely due to the sudden emergence of Li Gang. Now he has finally met his benefactor. Yao Gu originally wanted to treat Li Gang well, but he was pulled by Li Gang to the front line to inspect the situation. Li Gang was not idle along the way, and asked him to introduce the latest battle situation in detail.

After preliminary contact, Yao Gu had already seen that Li Gang was a highly responsible person. He came here to help Da Song win this battle with him, but he was determined to do it. War was not a game, nor was it a talk on paper. He didn't believe in this young, unscrupulous, and censored, and never even had a local official. From this point of view, what kind of help can a great benefactor who is worse than Zheng Xiunian in the past? So what he had to do with Li Gang's question was the idea of ​​"coping" and satisfy the good fortune of the new official taking office.

I felt that, but as he further discussed the situation of the battle with Li Gang, he was really surprised by Li Gang again. As the saying goes, outsiders look at the posture and the experts look at the tricks. Do you really understand it? The experts will know it after a try. But he was surprised that although Li Gang didn't say much, they all hit the key points and key points. Within a few words, the complex changes in the situation between the enemy and us were already very clear. Yao Gu knew that this was really meeting a capable person, so he immediately put away his contempt and introduced Li Gang in more detail. This was the second surprise that Li Gang brought to Yao Gu.

The third surprise is the battle of "Killing Fengkou". Of course, it is better to say that it is "shock" rather than "surprise".

After hearing why Yao Gu General joined forces with the bandits to attack the Liao and Xia armies, Li Gang pointed out the true purpose of the bandits to the point, and judged that the bandits would inevitably attack in large numbers after surrendering the Liao and Xia armies, with the purpose of forcing Yao Gu to surrender.

Yao Gu naturally knew these things. He immediately stated that no matter whether His Majesty had pardoned his sins and sent his two sons to the front line, showing his great trust in him and his emperor's kindness. Even if His Majesty wants to execute him now, he will never betray the Song Dynasty. Not only will he not betray him, but he will also give orders to the Yao family. Whoever dares to betray the Song Dynasty will not be the descendant of the Yao family. Now, he has mobilized the entire army, and the entire army has made sufficient accuracy

Although the bandits are now strong and we are at a disadvantage, we are not at a desperate situation. First of all, since the Liao and Xia armies fled, the supplies originally supplied to them have been saved. A large amount of baggage, plus what originally belonged to us, we are now not short of food and money, and we have the conditions to defend ourselves for a long time. Secondly, the Northwest Army is not a vegetarian. If the bandits dare to come, the 200,000 Northwest Army can also cost them a huge price!

After hearing this, Li Gang pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Now our biggest difficulty is not food and grass, nor troops, but morale of the army!"

Yao Gu hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, don't worry about the morale of the army. The Northwest Army is like me and will not betray..."

Li Gang shook his head again, "I don't doubt the loyalty of the Northwest Army to the Song Dynasty. What I mean by military morale is actually courage."

Yao Gu said suspiciously, "Courage?"

Li Gang said, "In the battle of Liangshan, tens of thousands of troops of the Song Dynasty were wiped out, missing the best opportunity to destroy the Liangshan bandits, and directly led to the loss of the Beijing-East Road. In the battle of Jing-East Road, 200,000 troops of the Song Dynasty were wiped out, the commander Gao Qiu was killed, the Song Dynasty was forced to recruit the bandits, and was defeated by the double plan of Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu. In the battle of the counter-attack, the Song Dynasty was almost wiped out, and the commander Zhao Kai was captured and several routes quickly fell, resulting in the Song Dynasty completely losing its initiative. In order to resist the bandits, they even had to lead the foreign army into the court. Now, the bandits are even more incredible, defeating hundreds of thousands of Liao and Xia coalition forces to surrender. General Yao, what do you feel after hearing this?"

Yao Gu knew all these, but from Li Gang's mouth, he was dumbfounded again and didn't know how to answer.

Li Gang sighed and continued, "Since the bandits started to rise, they have occupied half of our Song Dynasty for only a few years. Now, the whole country has changed its color when they hear the name of the bandits. They are like ferocious beasts. In the whole process, we fought more than a dozen major battles with the bandits and invested nearly one million troops, but they have not won one victory! This is our biggest difficulty! To be honest, General Yao, I have left Tokyo in the past few days, and while rushing to the road, the entire Song Dynasty is filled with pessimism and panic. As we approach Daming Mansion, this panic becomes more and more obvious. When we arrive at Daming Mansion, although your Northwest Army is still holding its position, its morale has fallen to the extreme. I believe they will fight to the death with the bandits, but under this kind of morale, we have no chance of winning at all, and we can only die in vain!"

Yao Gu's face looked very ugly. As the head coach, he certainly knew how bad the Northwest Army's current actual situation was, but he had no choice, because the bandits were too powerful and had become incredibly powerful. In the face of such strength, any morale-boosting language is so pale and has no effect.

"Mr. Li..., what do you think you should do?" Although Yao Gu didn't believe that Li Gang, who had just arrived at the front line, could have any solution, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope.

Li Gang said in a deep voice, "Now that there are many enemies and we are few, we must base ourselves on defense!"

Yao Gu curled his lips in disappointment, defense? That's all?

But Li Gang continued, "But before full defense, we must take the initiative to attack once. This time we will defeat the bandits and defeat the bandits in an undefeated myth!"

Yao Gu couldn't help but take the air and take the initiative to attack? You are not kidding, are you? You understand the current morale of the army, and you also know how disparity in the forces between the enemy and us are. Now it's too late to even defend. Do you want the army to take the initiative to attack? Do you think we are not alive long enough?!

"This..., I'm afraid...," Yao Gu racked his brains to think of the words and tried to politely persuade Li Gang to give up this crazy idea. Although he was the head coach, Li Gang was the military supervisor. If Li Gang insisted on sending troops, he would be helpless. Moreover, Li Gang was his benefactor, so he had to be more tactful.

Li Gang saw Yao Gu's doubts, and he smiled slightly, "General Yao, please listen to me and finish my words. I guess the bandits will come to attack us soon. They are now in a state of pride and complacent. We retreated all the way and have already acted as a sorrowful soldier. Don't even think of the bandits, we dare to take the initiative, and my plan is..."

Li Gang's voice became smaller and smaller, and Yao Gu's expression became more and more surprised. After Li Gang finished speaking, Yao Gu looked up at Li Gang's face, which was full of fatigue, but also full of strength and courage. He finally gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely!

In this way, under the command of Li Gang, the best scouts of the Song army kept running between the Tiandao Army and the Daming Mansion, constantly reporting the movements of the Tiandao Army to Li Gang and Yao Gu. When Zheng Fei led the Tiandao Army to approach the Daming Mansion, Li Gang and Yao Gu knew it soon.

On the hundreds of miles from Bozhou to Daming Prefecture, the Song army along the way pretended to be afraid of escaping when they saw the Tiandao Army, which lured Zheng Fei and the Pioneer Army to move faster and faster.

But at the beginning, Li Gang didn't know that the person who led the vanguard of the Heavenly Dao Army was Zheng Fei. When Zheng Fei marched less than a hundred miles from Daming Mansion, Li Gang learned that the person who came was Zheng Linfeng!

Li Gang was overjoyed. The thief leader Zheng Linfeng had already entered the pocket he laid. If he could kill or even capture him alive in this battle, the benefits brought by him were immeasurable! Unfortunately, Li Gang's original purpose was to win and break the myth of invincible at the intersection of Heaven and to encourage the morale of the Song army. He did not expect that the person who plunged into his ambush circle was the thief leader Zheng Linfeng. Therefore, he did not deploy too many troops, but only brought 80,000 people. Otherwise, he was afraid that even all the Song army would dare to send to encircle and suppress Zheng Fei. Although he knew now, it was too late to try to dispatch troops and generals. Li Gang had to order the entire army to attack Zheng Linfeng directly. At the same time, in order to put psychological pressure on the Heaven and Dao Army, he specially changed the "Sand Wind Tout" to "Kill Wind Tout" at the ambush site, which meant to kill Zheng Linfeng!

The battle for killing the wind has begun!

Zheng Fei soon found that he was surrounded by layers of siege of the Song army, and the only troops he brought was the Independent Army. However, along the way, he had divided the three thousand cavalry of the Independent Army into the empty city that had just been captured and waited for the arrival of the main force behind. In other words, Zheng Fei now has less than seven thousand cavalry in his hands!

If these seven thousand cavalry were on the plain, not to mention facing the 80,000 Song army, they would come and go freely even when facing the 180,000 Song army. But now they are in the mountainous areas, and the power of the cavalry has dropped sharply, and this is also the purpose of Li Gang setting up an ambush here. Zheng Fei and the Independence Army were trapped in the most cruel and passive mountain war in history. The Song army's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the casualties of the Independence Army were getting bigger and bigger, and they were driven to an empty mountain by Li Gang commanding the Song army.

But the Independence Army is the Independence Army. Even if it cannot rely on war horses, its combat effectiveness is amazing. The Song army launched more than a dozen charges, but they were all repelled by the Independence Army.

As the scouts kept reporting, saying that the Tiandao Army behind had already noticed something abnormal and was launching a fierce attack on the Song army that blocked them, Li Gang's happiness had to begin to fade. He did not expect that the combat power and fighting will of the unit next to the thief Zheng Linfeng was so strong that he could not even catch a living prisoner. Everyone fought to the end. Finally, in the face of the huge casualties that were not worth the gain, Li Gang chose to retreat, and could only order the withdrawal with great regret.

Not long after the Song army withdrew, the Heavenly Dao Army behind finally arrived. Zheng Fei escaped, but the Independence Army suffered the most painful casualties since its establishment. More than 3,000 cavalry were killed in battle, and almost everyone was injured. Even the commander Pang Wanchun was injured by a hawkish arrow.

Zheng Fei's first fight with Li Gang ended with Li Gang's strategic victory.
