Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 294 A brood of dumb chickens 【Subscription】

Hecai Town is located in the southwest corner of Shuibo, which is the west exit of Guangji River in Liangshanbo. It is surrounded by fertile land, but agriculture is not the main part of people's livelihood here, and commerce is the key to its prosperity.It is located at the west end of the Guangji River, and it is connected to Liangshan Park in the east. The high value of traffic is obvious.A hundred years after the dredging of the Zhao Song water transport network, it has always been an important inland wharf town with developed water transport and prosperous commerce.

There are six ferry crossings in the town, two horizontal and two vertical in the town, and hundreds of shops and inns gathered in the four main streets. There are nearly ten thousand permanent residents in the town, and a floating population of thirty to fifty thousand.It's like a city.

Therefore, Gao Li came to Hecai Town by hiding his tracks, and the hundreds of people of various colors accompanying him, as well as the [-] soldiers who guarded him, all found a place to live in Hecai Town.In fact, with the flames of war, half of the people in Cai Town and Cai Town with a strong business atmosphere were emptied, only countless rooms were vacated.

But that was only half a town away, there are exceptions to everything.

There are still thousands of people living in Hecai Town, and hundreds of shops and inns are opening.One of them is Liang Shanbo's eyeliner.

In the evening, there was a sudden sound of beating drums in Hecai Town.

"Jujiang Drum?" Shi Qian quietly looked at the place where the drum sounded from the top of the third floor of the inn, full of curiosity.Since both Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong are stationed outside the town, who would dare to beat the general drum?But he didn't want to, after only a moment, he saw the fast horses on the left and right sides of the town and there were originally two standard cavalrymen, and only by looking at most of the people surrounded by the crowd, Shi Qian could recognize that these two were the Yanmen festival in the cloud Dushi Han Cunbao and Qinghe Tianshui Jiedushi Jing Zhong.

Around Hecai Town, that is, around Guangji River, there are several Song camps, and the troops led by these two Jiedu envoys are stationed inside.

And there is also an army in the town, with a strength of about [-], and they are generally stationed at the west end of the town. The six docks and the four gates of the town are all under their control, but their reputation is not as good as that of the Han and Jing armies.If it was routine for those generations to eat naka, openly robbing and extorting is normal, even rumors of robbing women's women have spread, and this has only come in a few days.

Shi Qian also visited inwards twice, but bumped into a place that was strictly guarded. He wanted to investigate but did not dare to take risks easily.After all, the purpose of his visit to Cai Zhen this time was not to visit this well-guarded place, but to wait for the opportunity to create chaos when necessary, divert the attention of the officers and soldiers, and guide the Liangshan Army to take the opportunity to land on the shore.

But what now?
As soon as the drums sounded in the town, Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong rushed over one after another. Who else could be in this town except Gao Qi?
This was a surprise discovery.

Gao Qiu is stationed.

Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong looked at each other, and they both saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen are their old brothers, and Jing Zhong and Xiang Yuanzhen are even close friends.They worked together on the Northwest battlefield back then, and both of them knew the skills of old brothers.The bandits from Liangshan defeated both of them in the first battle. The result of the battle made them not believe their ears.

Stone cannon, stone cannon.

The battle report was written by Yang Wen, and the emphasis was on the stone cannon.He pushed the reason for the defeat of the South Route Army to Liangshan's new stone cannon, which made Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong instinctively refuse to believe it.No matter how old the brothers are, they would not dare to take the blame for Yang Xiang in front of Gao Qiu.

Neither of them believed it, so if Gao Qiu could believe it, it would be a ghost.

"Taiwei, Yang Wen, and Xiang Yuanzhen are the generals of the imperial court and honored ministers of the country. Even if they are defeated, the crime is heavy, and there is no reason to abandon it. The young general is willing to raise his troops and horses and rush to Rencheng." Jing Zhong asked for orders first. .

Gao Qiu looked at Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong who were defeated and challenged to fight, and knew that it would be difficult not to let one go.

That one is unreasonable; the other is to hurt the generals.

He glanced back and forth between Han Cunbao and Jing Zhong, and sighed for a while: "General Jing is right. Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen have their own imperial court sanctions, but this Taiwei cannot abandon them. So General Jing will Go to Rencheng as soon as possible."

Among the ten festivals, the first person Gao Qiu disliked was Wang Huan, and the second one was Xu Laoyuan.These two veterans are not young, but Jiang Gui's temperament is old and hot, and it is really difficult to serve him.Moreover, the two of them are also people who will retire and return to their hometowns soon, so they have the confidence to rely on the old and sell the old.After all, the Zhao and Song courts are well known for their kindness to the retired ministers, especially the military generals who have made great contributions.

Thinking like this, how could Gao Qiu let Han Cunbao go to Rencheng, he must be sent to Jing Zhong.He wants to keep Han Cun to keep pressure on Xu Laoyuan.

Moreover, the soldiers led by Jing Zhong came from the northwest. In Gao Qiu's eyes, the elite soldiers were the first among the ten jiedu.After all, the South Route Army was severely beaten by bandits. No matter what the reason was, a defeat was a defeat.At such a time, the strength of the Liangshan bandits must not be underestimated.

Gao Lian is not afraid of being ridiculed after killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, he is only worried that there is no sledgehammer to kill a chicken.

The [-] elite members of the Jing Zhong Department were originally one of the trump cards in his hand. He was originally unwilling to reveal them easily, but he couldn't care less about them now.

Shi Qian saw that at dusk and sunset, a battalion of officers and soldiers outside Nahecai Town suddenly set up their camps.He asked people to infiltrate his people's village to inquire, and he was rewarded when it was dark. This army from the northwest was actually going to rescue the remaining soldiers and horses of the South Route Army.The latter was besieged in Rencheng.

Shi Qian laughed out loud when he heard this, it's so ridiculous that such an obsessed officer thinks that Liangshan soldiers and horses are all in Rencheng.In my heart, I once again gave Lu Qian a thumbs up. This kind of deception is so beautiful.Just like the battle of Daming Mansion years ago, the east hits the west.Playing with Gao Qiu and others is in the palm of your hand.

The sky had completely darkened, and Shi Qian received another carrier pigeon, but Liang Shanbo's army had already arrived not far from the shore.Just wait for Shi Qian to move, so he can take the opportunity to land in a large scale.

Therefore, when the fire broke out in the forage field set up in Hecai Town, fires also ignited in the Song army camps on both sides of the Guangji River.Only the Han Cunbao camp is good. After all, they set up camp without much movement, and the military discipline is very strict.But He Caizhen's garrison and Jingzhong camp are very bad.

The former had the worst military discipline, and would panic when encountering such urgent matters.

But the soldiers of the Jingzhong camp are setting up camp.After Jing Zhong got the military order, he returned to the barracks and ordered to raise troops.Ask the soldiers to pack up their luggage, ask the villagers to load all the food, grass and supplies into the carts, and feed the cattle, horses and livestock with grain and water.But it was going to head east overnight.This kind of enthusiasm for actively rescuing teammates in distress is very worthy of recognition.But it became imperfect under the fire.

You know, in the era of the Song Dynasty, it was very difficult to march at night.Under Jing Zhong's command, no matter the officers and soldiers, or the detained civilians, they were all unhappy.At such a time, a fire suddenly ignited in the tents, food and grass, and some people took the opportunity to howl and spread rumors, and the commotion became louder.

Flames ignited everywhere, and Lu Qian could see it from a distance, and immediately took twenty tank boats straight to the pier.

The so-called Cao Chuan, also known as Gang Chuan, was a grain transport ship in the Northern Song Dynasty.Round short boat shape, flat bottom, slightly narrow head and tail, wide middle part, roof built on the deck; the side of the ship is nailed with wooden boards interlaced, and the whole hull is covered with rows of nails; mast, canopy, rudder, scull, anchor, sail, pole and rigging, etc. The boating equipment should be complete.The cargo capacity of such ships is quite large.The largest one can carry more than five thousand stones of grain.

All the tank boats in Liangshanbo can only be considered small, but even so, each boat can carry [-] oarsmen, and [-] fully armed soldiers.This is what is loaded in the twenty tank boats right now.

All the left and right battalions of the personal guards are on board.Lu Qian, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang and others stood at the bow of the boat. They were the vanguard of the battle against Cai Zhen.

Since Shigou Town defeated the South Route Army, Lu Qian left the red-faced tiger Yuan Lang and Deng Fei to lead a cavalry straight to the defeated army and then went to Rencheng. The bluff made Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen think that the Liangshanbo army was just outside the city.In fact, he led his troops to board the ship from Shuibo, with Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu controlling the direction, and joined Shuibo Zhong and Lin Chong's troops at noon today.Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun, who were injured in the fierce battle, led the remaining navy, carried the wounded, escorted the prisoners of war, and returned to Liangshan Dazhai.

Although the water quality of Baitiao in the waves is excellent, it is impossible to really lie underwater for seven days and seven nights.After the group of people chiseled out Liu Menglong's boat, when they were close to the water, they saw Liu Menglong, who had taken off his armor, transferred to a sea loach boat under the escort of Zhang Gongyu and others.At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi's red dragon boat was very close.

Zhang Shun couldn't bear to let go of such a great contribution, and he had Ruan Xiaoqi to support him, so he rushed to rob and kill him.The results speak for themselves.He must escape quickly, and must fight there to the death.Even so, he suffered three knife and arrow wounds on his body.It happened to be with Ruan Xiaoqi, who was chopped on the shoulder by a knife.

The two fleets converged, and the total strength reached more than [-] people.It's not that Liang Shanbo is most familiar with this landing battle, Lu Qian feels that it is possible for him to mess up.

Imagine, in the dark night, more than 2 soldiers, including [-] cavalry, landed in front of more than [-] enemies after a day of wandering on the water.

If the organization is not in place, you don't need the enemy to attack, and you can create a catastrophe by yourself.

Simply Liangshan Army has professionals in this field. After Fei Tianhu Hucheng became the head of the transfer department, he joined forces with Jiang Jing, the head of the Duzhi Department, to organize manpower and material resources for logistics transportation and transfer, which was handy.

Under such a large framework, Lu Qian, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and others consulted in detail, spent two days of deduction, and finally came up with the current plan.

"Shoot the arrow—"

In the rudder tower of the boat, Lu Qian, who was in heavy armor, waved his hand.The rain of arrows and crossbows had already covered the shouting officers and soldiers a hundred meters away.

"Quick paddle, fast paddle." Guo Sheng, dressed in a snow-white shirt, stood on the bow of a beach boat and shouted loudly.The time to fight has come, and he will personally guard the left battalion and overwhelm the right battalion.Guo Sheng turned his head and glanced to the side, and he seemed to be able to see a scarlet battle robe, holding a painting halberd, standing on the bow of the boat like himself.

The six ferry crossings with Cai Town are naturally guarded by officers and soldiers.It's just that there are not many troops left behind.The morale of the other generation was even lower. Seeing countless boats suddenly appearing on the lake, the densely packed torches made them panic and panic. When the arrows rained down from the left and right camps of the forward guards, the swarm of bees turned their heads. Run to the town.

When Han Cunbao returned to the camp, he summoned his generals, but focused on sending troops to station on the other side of the Guangji River tomorrow.As a result, as soon as the military meeting started, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp, and there were also fires in Na and Cai Zhenzhong, and even more fires burned in Jing Zhong's army on the other side of the river.

Han Cunbao is not that kind of literati who doesn't understand military power, cowardly and cowardly.Immediately, he ordered the whole army to be on alert, to investigate spies, and to kill anyone who dared to stir up trouble in the camp without pardon.

But when he found that the torches, denser than the stars in the sky, suddenly appeared on the water near Cai Town, he was terrified.

"Why are there so many bandits?"

Han Cunbao had to be shocked.Just now, he still thought that the main force of Liangshan Po bandits was far away in Rencheng, besieging Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen, but unexpectedly they rushed in front of him.

It can only be said that whether he, Jing Zhong, Gao Qiu, or even Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen from Rencheng, they are all like a nest of stupid chickens, being played around by Liangshan land thieves .
