Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 300: The Remaining Brave Should Pursue the Poor Bandits

Just half an hour after Lin Chong arrived, Lu Zhishen, Ou Peng, Yang Zhi, and Ma Lin each led their troops to arrive.Later, Liu Tang and Li Ying also led a group of soldiers to kill them.

But at this time, the main force of Liangshan Army was still twenty miles away from the battlefield.

In Liangshanbo, where there are many soldiers and horses, they did not do their best to fight Cai Zhen, nor did they do their best to fight Xu Jing.Although more than [-] land and water infantry and cavalry were dispatched bravely in this battle, it does not mean that more than [-] land and water troops will be dispatched in full force every time a battle is fought.

Don't say anything else, just look at the one-zhang Qinghu Sanniang who set off with Caizhen. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen anyone.It's ridiculous to say that this Hu Sanniang and Cai Zhen were the first to lead the reserve army to set off, and even captured the hundreds of reserve troops from her brother Hu Cheng. With 2000 troops marching straight west, the target must be Xu Jing's department.But what about the facts?She went astray and went directly behind Xu Jing's camp.But when the sentinel came to report, Hu Sanniang made a mistake and bumped into a defeated army. At least a thousand prisoners were captured, so it was not a waste of effort.It can be said that a blind cat has bumped into a dead mouse.

The more than [-] cavalry troops, because of the difference in speed, position and other reasons, have virtually staggered the distance from each other.Eat meat and drink soup if you can catch up-for example, the cavalry of Lin Chong's tribe and Hu Sanniang's tribe, this is eating meat and drinking soup.

But Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Liu Tang, who failed to get any oil stars from Xu Jing, led the soldiers and horses to continue eastward without looking back.

Since last night, the sun has already risen, aren't they tired?

It's impossible not to be tired.But what Lu Qian said is very reasonable-to take advantage of the fire to rob, and to add trouble to others.Perhaps it can also be said in an elegant way: it is better to chase the poor with the remaining courage, and not to become famous and learn to be the overlord.This is the time when the battle is most likely to produce results.Now if your back hurts from being too tired, wouldn't you be afraid of losing Qingqing's life when fighting head-on?
It can be said that Liangshan Army's fighting posture is very dangerous.The main force of the Liangshan Army led by Lu Qian, after winning the battle with Cai Zhen, waited for Ruo Ruo to let go of his initial clenched fists and beat people.

Just like that Gao Qiu.It's just that the government and the army can't find anyone who can turn the tide and save the battle.

Song Jun here.Another military meeting is underway.Then a military officer said: "According to the reports from the scouts, there are seven or eight thousand bandit troops in Liangshanpo, and about [-] cavalry. There are no follow-up soldiers and horses from the bandit army for ten miles around."

Hearing this "seven or eight thousand people", Wang Wende and Mei Zhan finally felt better, the official army was at least twice as large as the bandit army.Even if it is cavalry, there are [-] cavalry in his two army together. Not to mention the overall pressure of the army, but only the cavalry alone can fight the bandit cavalry for a few rounds.

"What is the configuration of the bandit army?"

"Tan Ma dare not get close to the bandit army, the bandit's light cavalry are very aggressive, and they are very well concealed." The officer replied again.

In this way, the situation is completely clear.There are large groups of soldiers and horses behind the two armies as reinforcements, but they cannot arrive in a short time.Now the Liangshan Army is lining up for battle, whether it is a war or peace, the choice is in the hands of Wang Wende and Mei Zhan.

Wang Wende cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Hecai Town has been defeated. We don't know whether Lieutenant Gao is alive or dead. Generals Han, Jing, and Xu have not heard anything at all. The officers and soldiers lost tens of thousands of troops, so... If the defeat is spread to the court and the emperor and all the officials hear about it, how can they not be angry?"

"Everyone, if you don't want to be punished at that time, we will have a bloody battle with the bandit army today, so as to make it difficult for the imperial court to wait for us."

Wang Wende glanced around, his eyes stopped on Mei Zhan's face, the two looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything.However, what Wang Wende just said was half-truth and half-false. After all, the two could not completely ignore their friendship, nor could they completely ignore their reputation.

Finally, Wang Wende's eyes stopped on the face of his brave general Zhai Jin.

Zhai Jin is a son of a prominent Longmen family in Xijing. At the beginning, because of his meritorious service in catching robbers, he was appointed as an off-duty palace servant, and a tired official served as the first general in the west of Beijing.Was transferred to Northwest Xihe Road to work.His immediate boss is Liu Fa, the great general of the Western Army who is known as a god general.

The latter is the No.1 general of the Western Army at the time. In the fourth year of Emperor Huizong's Chongning (1105), Liu Fa faced the main force of Xixia at Ertike Spring in Huizhou (now Huining, Gansu). He defeated the enemy in one battle and defeated the enemy. Afterwards, he crossed the Yellow River and pursued for more than 1108 miles across the desert, plundered Kaluochuan, and captured more than [-] Xixia troops (recorded in the monument of Dinggong Jifa).In the second year of Daguan ([-]), Liu Fa participated in the battle of Jishi Army in recovering the Hehuang area, and in the same year, he served as Marquis Yu, the capital of the Majun Sidu, the guard of the Sanya.

Such a person who is good at fighting is not the one who is good at flattering and flattering.In the third year of Emperor Huizong's Daguan (1109), Liu Fa was dismissed as the appeasement envoy of Xihe Road Economic Strategy and also known Xizhou because he did not go out to greet him personally (as the main local military and political chief executive, he was disrespectful to his superiors - Tong Guan). Marquis Yu, the capital of the Sanya guards and the horse army commander.

Zhai Jin, the brave general under his command, was also implicated and was beaten under the command of Hongnong Wang Wende.It has been six or seven years, and I can't show my revenge, and I can't be depressed for a long time.

Wang Wende also knew that people were good at their duties, so he took him as the Marquis of Yu, the capital under his command, and under his own account the cavalry.

"Zhai Jin, I know you have big ambitions, and you don't want to waste your time in Hongnong vacantly. The first great achievement."

Last year, Songxia in the western frontier went to war again. Zhai Jin heard a letter from an old friend in the Xihe Road Army. It was restless, wishing to grow two wings and fly to Liu Fa's tent.Mei Zhan also handed over the thousands of horses under his tent to him, "If you can make great achievements in this battle, why don't you worry about not getting what you want?"

Zhai Jin naturally knew what the two horse troops were.Compared with the cavalry of the Western Army, not to mention the sergeants, the horses are a bit behind.The Hongnong horse army is already a bit behind, and the Runan horse army is even worse than Hongnong's horse army. It is not as tall as the horses of the Liangshan bandit army on the opposite side, which is also strange.In such a battle, I am afraid that I will suffer some losses.But Zhai Jin is not afraid at all.

Two thousand riders fight against one thousand riders, even if the horses suffer some losses, so what?On the contrary, the two Jiedu envoys sent the credit here. He is also a person who has been in the Song army for many years. He was already prepared to endure hardships first and share the merits later. , Immediately clasped his fists and took the order and said: "Please rest assured, the two commanders, the general will definitely work hard to kill the thieves and wipe out all the thieves."

Wang Wende nodded in satisfaction, Zhai Jin was his number one general, brave and resourceful.Except for Ma Jun handing over to him, there is no other person who can make him feel at ease.

Zhai went in and out of the military tent, looking towards the east with a trace of sadness.

Lin Chong.

When he went out to watch just now, the first thing he saw was not the tall horse of the Liangshan bandit army, but the "Lin" banner raised by the iron cavalry.Besides Lin Chong, the leader of Liang Shanbo with the surname Lin, who else could it be?

In terms of age, he is already forty-two, ten years older than Lin Chong, when he was in the same generation as Lin Chong's father, even the marksmanship was taught by Lin Lao Tisha, but now he wants to use the marksmanship taught by him on his son Take credit.It's really a trick of the world.

Zhai Jin knew even more that this big battle should be the node of this army crusade.

Hecai Town was destroyed, Gao Qiu's life and death were unknown, Han Cunbao, Jing Zhong, and Xu Jing's three Jiedu envoys were unknown, and if there was another battle, no matter the outcome, the West Route Army would be regarded as abolished.

And since Liangshanbo's army can reach Hecai Town, what will happen to the South Route Army, it is better to suffer than to be safe.

In this way, more than half of the soldiers and horses under Shi Jiedu's command have been lost, how can this battle continue?

Zhai Jin remembered that he also met Lu Qian, and he didn't have a big impression of him. Is it worth his worrying about a small person in the officialdom?I never thought that I had lost my eyesight and only regarded gold as rotten copper.

In just two years, this Lu Qian pierced a hole in Da Song's sky.As a former high-level military officer of Zhao Song, and also from a local rich family, Zhai Jin knew very well that the world of Song Dynasty was not peaceful.But even though civil unrest was frequent in the past, no matter how big it was, it was just a matter of one state and one government. What is Lu Qian doing?Jingdong, Hebei, Huainan...

Losing the army in a row, and losing another ten quarters, is almost as powerful as Li Yuanhao was back then.It's a pity that he is not in Nanling, nor in Sichuan and Sichuan, but in Qilu Jingdong, where there is no danger.Even if you are a hero for a while, you cannot be a hero for a lifetime.

In the military tent behind him, Wang Wende's voice was resounding: "This battle attracts the attention of the whole world. From the emperor to the officials and people, everyone is looking forward to the news of victory. The emperor has always paid great attention to military achievements. How can there be such a battle in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years?" Treating heroes too badly? As long as you win this battle, as long as you make contributions in this battle, you will be promoted and rewarded, and you will be famous all over the world. It is not false, you will understand..."

"Don't worry, Commander, we will move forward bravely and we will not stop until we kill all the traitors!" As everyone responded, Zhai Jin had already left.

Not to mention him, but to say that the generals mounted their horses one after another and went back to their respective camps. When the crowd dispersed, Wang Wende, Mei Zhan and the staff of the personal guard also mounted their horses and moved forward. A confidant whispered to Mei Zhan: "Jie Handsome, are you sure this time?"

Mei Zhan was silent for a moment, then said: "This time I can only win, if not, I'm afraid my life will be lost."

Lu Qian has repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers, is he a generation who doesn't know soldiers?Now that the army is still sent to fight, the seven or eight thousand bandit troops in front of the camp must be very powerful.

The confidant's face was very ugly when he heard it, and he muttered: "What is Wang Jieshuai thinking? Now that the three Jieshuai Gao Qi and Han Xujing don't know whether they are alive or dead, then the preservation of strength should be the number one priority. The more you get, the more you get wrong."

Having said that, Mei Zhan turned his head and glared, his confidant apologizing and dared not speak.However, Mei Zhan looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother Wende suffered this for the sake of my generation's reputation, so that the younger generation will be arrogant, and the government and the wild will think that I am old and weak, and I am no longer useful. This time, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. Let's repay this friendship!" And what if the three were just defeated, not captured.This fight can still give those three old buddies some support.

Three miles forward before camping, is only a distance of thousands of steps.The Song army poured out of the camp like a tide, and the Liangshan army on the opposite side also sounded their horns and unfurled their banners. Now that the various ministries of the army have begun to unfold, people are screaming and the dust is rising to the sky, they should also go forward.

Half an hour ago, Lin Chong ordered all the cavalry to dismount and eat and drink.Then the three infantry troops arrived, and they also sat on the ground, recharging their energy.

At this moment, the two armies were like two angry bulls, panting heavily and staring at each other.

Everything is ready, the war and fighting will begin.

"Kill——" Zhai Jin and Lin Chong led the cavalry charge at the same time.Facing the well-organized infantry group, the cavalry should avoid frontal impact as much as possible.Unless they are armored cavalry, otherwise even the cavalry led by Lin Chong, who are all armored elite cavalry, must turn their front to the flank of the infantry array.

The two cavalry are going to attack each other's flanks, so before that, there needs to be a brutal contest between them.
