Song Emperor Jiangshan

Xiao Shan smiled, and pulled Zhao Yuan into his arms with strength: "If I come back victorious, Your Majesty will reward me heavily."

Zhao Yuan's face was slightly red, and he didn't know where he wanted to go. After a while, he said: "Okay, you go!"

Xiao Shan turned around and went out, that night he called together the most outstanding soldiers he had trained in this year, 1000 people gathered by the river, all dressed in casual clothes and shaved their hair, Xiao Shan was no exception.He stood on the bank of the river, facing the wind, with a serious expression: "It's very dangerous to go out this time, have everyone written their suicide notes?"

A thousand soldiers stood quietly by the river without making a sound. They raised their right arms, clenched their fists in the air, and rowed down at the same time. Thousands of soldiers moved in unison, as if they were done by one person, without any slight noise. Error, using the most succinct movements, made a crisp answer to their leader and country: "After death!"

Zhang Jun, Zhao Yuan and others also came to see them off. Seeing such a neat military appearance, they couldn't help being moved, and murmured in a low voice: "I have been in the army for many years, and I have never seen such a team. It's just that my parents are affected by my body, hair and skin. It's not appropriate to shave your head."

Wang Shipeng said: "If you want to go to Jinbing's territory, if you don't shave your head, isn't it the same as being a living target? These soldiers didn't even blink when they shaved their heads. They are really warriors."

Xiao Shan ordered again: "Check the equipment!"

Another uniform movement, the hands of the soldiers touched their waists rhythmically, and each of them carried a special waterproof grenade made by the imperial court on their waists.They bent down together again, each of them was equipped with short swords and daggers in their boots for hand-to-hand combat. Thousands of people performed the same more than ten movements at the same time, and they were still uniform.

This time Zhang Jun was no longer muttering to himself in a low voice. He had opened his mouth in surprise. Yes, he had led the army for many years, and he had seen soldiers everywhere in the imperial court. Most of them were disorganized and chaotic. Even some Those who are brave and good at fighting do not have such discipline and obedience.

It was also the first time for Shi Hao to see Xiao Shan leading troops. They usually only heard that he was good at fighting, but they had never seen Xiao Shan's training, let alone this kind of action. All armies can do this, why worry about the immortality of the golden man!"

The corner of Zhao Yuan's mouth curled up into a smile, his eyes looked at Xiao Shan, but there was a look of pride on his face.The men, though in civilian clothes, were more military than military. "What I want is this kind of army!" Zhao Yuan thought silently in his heart.

In the darkness of night, the one thousand masters selected by Xiao Shan boarded the troop carrier, jumped into the water in the middle of the river, and swam across the opposite bank without a sound. One by one, black shadows quickly landed on the land on the opposite bank of the river.

According to the plan in advance, in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, the 1000 people will form a team of ten people. Under the arrangement of the team leader, each team will choose a different path to head towards Hongze Lake. After five days, they will arrive at Hongze Lake. Near Zehu, a surprise attack was launched at night.

And Zhang Jun and others will also launch a large-scale attack on the south bank of the river at the same time five days later, and land on the north bank again.

Xiao Shan also followed a small team leader by land, he jumped into the water to swim in the middle of the river, and landed ashore when the enemy's defense was weakest at Yinshi.These 1000 people have usually undergone various rigorous trainings, including camouflage and sneaking. When they landed, the patrol soldiers of the Jinren were only [-] steps away from them, and they couldn't find them. They quickly bypassed the river and entered the other side of the river. in the wilderness.

By daybreak, it was far away from the place where the Jin people camped, and the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River intersected. These people rested in a reed that was as tall as a person.After resting for two hours, he set off again, passing through Yuetang, Dayi, Chi'an and other places, and saw that these villages were deserted and the houses were closed down, leaving only some gray-haired old women sitting under the eaves with indifferent expressions.

A soldier beside Xiao Shan said indignantly: "I have been here during Chinese New Year this year. There are many fellow villagers here, and every house smokes, and now it has become like this!"

Xiao Shan's shoe uppers were a little loose. He tied his trouser legs and said, "Be careful when you walk, don't be bumped by Jin Bing, or you will be dragged into a strong man! The people here are most likely killed by Wan Yanliang. Robbed."

With just such a simple sentence, the melancholy and sorrow immediately turned into hatred for the Jinren.After resting temporarily, they marched day and night, and finally arrived at the Hongze Lake area after five days.

To the south of Hongze Lake is Gaoyou Lake. The two lakes are very close together. Most of Wanyanliang’s warships are scattered in these two places. There is a post at five steps and a post at ten steps by the lake. Anyone who wants to approach the lake , As long as you are within a hundred steps, you will be shot.

Xiao Shan waited here for about half a day, and other teams arrived one after another. Xiao Shan counted the number of people, and there were 1000 people when they came out, and there were still 1000 people when they gathered, not one was missing!

Xiao Shan was very satisfied with this result, and went deep into the enemy's territory for five days without being found or scattered.

After raising the person, we began to study how to defeat the enemy to complete the task.

During the daytime, Xiao Shan had already figured out the situation of the entire surrounding Jinren. The two lakes were connected by a waterway. There are a total of 200 people in the division and logistics.There are over 100 large ships, more than [-] small assault boats, and more than [-] troop carriers in the two lakes. Fortunately, all the scout ships were towed by Wan Yanliang to the mouth of the Yangtze River for investigation.There are a little more boats in Hongze Lake, about three hundred.There are less than one hundred ships in Gaoyou Lake.

Xiao Shan felt a little surprised by the number of ships here, not as many as he had imagined. He originally estimated that there should be no fewer than a thousand ships, but now there are only more than 400.But there were more defenders than Xiao Shan estimated, fully twice as many as he estimated.

It is by no means an easy task to successfully complete the mission among so many defenders and retreat unscathed.

The crowd lurked in the grass, and sent more than a dozen scouts to investigate the deployment of troops in various places in order to choose the best place to break through.

The sun was already sinking to the west, and when Xiao Shan was making active preparations, General Yelu Yuanyi also received a message from the spies in the camp of the Jinren Navy.

Yelu Yuanyi was originally a Khitan, after the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Khitan, he was given the surname Wanyan, and he was good at riding and shooting.After Wan Yanliang usurped the throne, he promoted Yelu Yuanyi, who was originally Fu Baolang, to Minister of the Ministry of War.This time, Wan Yanliang led the 32nd army in the Southern Expedition, but he was left here to rush to build warships and choose a day to enter the country.

In front of Yelu Yuanyi was a piece of secret information. According to reliable sources, five days ago, 1000 people were missing from the Southern Song army stationed in Jiankang. A general named Xiao Shan disappeared with these people. .

Yelu Yuanyi also saw other treasure hunters. In the past two days, it seems that some people have been active in the territory, but the number and purpose are not clear. The only thing I know is that the opponents seem to be young and middle-aged.

The combination of these two pieces of news seems to have some clues.Yelu Yuanyi stood up, the other party only disappeared 1000 people, maybe they were deserters, did he worry too much?

There are 1000 troops stationed here, and 1000 people feel afraid to come.Besides, it took a lot of time for [-] people to act, and it only took five days, and it took only one day for the news to reach him.Even if the other party wants to make some moves, they will never be so fast.

Yelu Yuanyi secretly analyzed in his heart, although he didn't think what would happen to him here, it's always good to be careful.He is a Khitan, and he is not well received in the Kingdom of Jin. If he hadn't been good at riding and archery, and also a master of water, Wan Yanliang would not have reused him.Thinking of this, Yelu Yuanyi stood up, and ordered to the people around him: "Double the number of patrolling personnel, I'm afraid these two days will not be very peaceful."

Left and right asked, "Should we send the order down now, or tomorrow?"

Yelu Yuanyi thought for a while and said, "It's too late now, let's start tomorrow!"

But at this time, a sergeant came to report: "General, those who went to recruit soldiers have returned. This time, they have gained a lot. More than 600 people have been arrested!"

Yelu Yuanyi was preoccupied with how to open the river channel and enter the Yangtze River smoothly, and he didn't care much about the young men he caught. He just nodded casually and said, "Understood, lock them up first, and deal with them tomorrow morning."

After giving all these instructions, Yelu Yuanyi went to bed and fell asleep, thinking secretly in his heart that in three or four days, the stranded river ahead would be dug through. At that time, both land and water would surely be able to take down the Yangtze River.

Yelu Yuanyi gradually fell asleep, but was awakened by a dull thunder. He turned over on the bed and said to himself: "It's autumn in September, and it's strange to be stunned by thunder." However, the hazy meaning did not go away. , Suddenly a sergeant came to report: "General, it's not good, the Song army attacked!"

Yelu Yuanyi was startled, hurriedly stood up and put on his armor, and while putting on the armor, he asked, "How many people are there?"

The sergeant who came to report showed a blank expression: "No... I don't know..."

"When did you come?"

"No...don't know..."

"How did you get in?"

"No...don't know..."

"Trash, why don't you know anything!"

"Forgive me, General. I didn't know until I heard the muffled sound of thunder in the lake... The Song Army sneaked in, they, they sent people to dive and blow up the boat!"

One sentence almost made Yelu Yuanyi faint. He lifted his epee and rushed towards the lake.

I saw countless wooden boards floating on the dark lake, some of them were burning, and they were in a mess everywhere, but most of the battleships that were hurriedly built were broken boards, and some were slowly moving. As it sank, the soldiers on board jumped into the water one after another to escape, and there were thumping sounds everywhere, like dumplings being cooked.

Yelu Yuanyi's heart tightened, and he immediately ordered loudly: "There are not many enemies coming, they should still be in the lake, defend me along the coast, and be sure to kill them all!"

The setting sun was like blood, four or five vanguard soldiers sent by Xiao Shan had already returned.Everything is going smoothly according to the plan. The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we can only outsmart them, not to mention there are two lakes?

Xiaoshan sent more than 300 people to Gaoyou Lake in the lower reaches, and they acted at four o'clock tonight.He and the remaining [-] people were exploring in Hongze Lake.

He took a good look at the terrain first, and then sent five soldiers to go there. After removing the golden man's secret post, the five men changed into golden man's clothes.

If there are few people, you can pretend to be golden men, but more than 600 people are not a small number, how to sneak into the lake smoothly is still a problem.But the solution to this problem went smoothly beyond Xiao Shan's expectations, thanks to Wan Yanliang's help.

Wan Yanliang caught civilians everywhere in the local area to serve as soldiers, instead of sending them to fight, he just asked them to do some logistical work, usually a soldier with a hundred or two hundred civilians. Today's time is a bit late, but it's not too late Night.

Xiao Shan and the others were originally dressed as civilian husbands, and they kept on their way, so they didn't need any make-up to be alive. More than 600 people pretended to be captured civilian husbands here, and entered the golden camp swaggeringly amidst the yelling and reprimanding of three or five "golden soldiers" with whips.

Along the way, puppet soldiers asked questions, all in Chinese, and those "golden soldiers" who drove away the "folk husbands" pretended to be speechless and ignored them. Occasionally, some golden men came to ask questions, and these "golden soldiers" used Jurchen language. Answer, when the accent is not very idiomatic, he will swear a few words, complaining that Wanyan Liang's Nanzheng made him unable to speak his hometown dialect.

It was big news that eight or nine hundred strong men were caught at once. Immediately, the chief commander of the Jinren reported the harvest to Yelu Yuanyi, but Yelu Yuanyi did not pay enough attention to it. He just asked these civilians to be locked up first. , and wait until tomorrow to deal with it.

That night, Xiao Shan and the others waited quietly after eating a full meal of cornbread pickles for the folk husband.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and Hongze Lake is close at hand.At four o'clock, it was time for the two lakes to work together.Xiao Shan easily killed the guards sent to guard them, and hurried into the lake.

News of the strong man's escape spread immediately, but when he found out that the man who had escaped was still on the way to report to the boss, Xiao Shan had already led his men into the lake, carrying a grenade, and headed towards the lake. The warships in it swam away.

This time, because his purpose was to blow up the battleship, he brought all the good players who grew up in the river since he was a child, and he demanded that the actions be unified and start at the same time.But as for the heavily guarded Golden Camp, whether these soldiers who didn't carry any fighting weapons could slip away smoothly depends on their own qualities.

When Xiao Shan was treading water in the lake, he suddenly thought of how he used to fight life and death with people in the West Lake.As soon as he thought of that person's shadow, Xiao Shan felt that there seemed to be an electric current starting from the bottom of his heart and flowing through his whole body until it was like a hundred bones.

At night, the surface of the lake was dark, and everything was calm. Looking at the surface of the lake from the boat, it seemed that no one was moving below.

1000 people dispersed in the lake, one person was required to be in charge of the small boats, and five people were assigned to be in charge of the big boats. In less than a stick of incense, all the warships were surrounded by underwater troops.

They don't have a time bomb, so they can only keep training on the time to place the grenade underwater and swim away quickly in the short time when the copper wire is pulled off and the sulfuric acid burns the wax paper.

Phew, Xiao Shan exhaled deeply, and dived into the lake again, this time it was closer, all movements must be done in one go, without the slightest delay, otherwise, he would be the one who was blown to death.

He inhaled, dived, touched the string of the boat, hooked the bottom of the boat with a hook, placed two grenades on it, pulled the snap ring, and swam away quickly.

He was in a group with five other people, and when he swam about ten meters away from the boat, there was a loud bang.

At the same time, the five grenades installed on the bottom of the boat exploded together, and the water waves threw him far away, and a piece of wood was blown up and flew around, almost hitting his head.

The fish that were killed by the explosion quickly floated to the surface of the lake. At the same time, the sound of booming continued, and the entire surface of the lake was completely blasted at the same time, like boiling water.

Xiao Shan was treading water desperately, the huge water pressure almost crushed his chest just now, his lungs were still aching, but at this moment he turned his head and saw hundreds of boats on fire at the same time on the lake, the flames were transpiring , Countless golden soldiers jumped into the water one after another to escape. Small iron boats, troop carriers, etc. had been blown up and splashed everywhere, while large ships were sinking slowly, forming vortexes one after another in the center, which was spectacular.

At the same moment, Xiao Shan looked towards the south from the lake, and saw that the distant sky was suddenly illuminated, and the people of Gaoyou Lake also succeeded!

Xiao Shan took a deep breath, and swam towards the retreat route that had been surveyed, but before he got ashore, he heard a man with the appearance of a general shouting loudly: "There are not many of them here, catch them all!" Stop, don't let anyone go!"

A group of golden soldiers quickly gathered at the exit of the upper and lower reaches of Hongze Lake, cutting off Xiaoshan's ideal escape route.

This was the worst situation he had expected. He did not expect that a small number of golden soldiers and a large number of puppet troops would react so quickly.Then, you can only fight here, desperately, and escape with your life.
