Unexpectedly, Wu Weiying and the other bigwigs did not have the slightest arrogance when they saw the three of them, but praised the three of them, which made Gao Jie and his wife very unaccustomed to it for a while.

Not really!

The identities of the four bigwigs are noble, and they are all above the top on weekdays, but except for Wu Weiying, who followed Chang Yu to fight in the south and the north, the other three can only be regarded as rookie brothers in the army, plus Chang Yu has the intention to suppress literature and promote martial arts after taking charge of military power, and the status and reputation of military generals are increasing day by day.

However, Wu Weiying's praise for Gao Jie and the three of them was by no means polite words for the sake of attracting relations, but they really admired it, because after they led their troops through the sturgeon town and went up the river embankment, they saw corpses everywhere, and stumps and broken bodies could be seen everywhere, so they knew the tragedy of the war!

Being able to take thousands of cavalry step by step, ten steps and one kill, the hard thief army approaching the outside of the city to open the way for the rear army, this kind of courage and combat power is extremely rare today! Several people's hearts were shaken, and the praise was also from the heart!

Gao Jie and the three of them had already made plans before they came to see them, and it was okay to watch the battle from the side, but it was absolutely impossible to plunder the merits, even if the other party was a lord!

I don't know that when people meet, it's a compliment, but it makes the three of them a little embarrassed.

"I heard that the thieves in front of you are blocking the way again?" After greetings, Liu Wenbing was the first to ask about the war, Gao Jie was shocked in his heart, and coughed lightly: "There is a river in front that is blocked by the thief army, we are preparing to attack, or we can defeat it in half an hour!" ”

Liu Wenbing sighed and said: "If there is a place where you need help, please open your mouth!" ”

"Nope!" Gao Jie and the three of them spoke in unison, but Liu Wenbing and the others were stunned, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

cough cough, Liu Zeqing broke the embarrassing atmosphere: "But we don't have enough arrows, can you borrow some!" ”

"Although take it" Zhang Qingzhen hurriedly said: "The guards have enough bows and arrows to spare, and the three generals can take as many as they want" This is quite generous, and Liu Zeqing and the three of them are overjoyed and thanked again and again.

The attack is imminent, and everyone has no time to chatter, Gao Jie and the three of them are going to the front line to prepare for the war, Wu Weiying and others will go to watch the battle together, and when they go to the riverside, they suddenly gasp, how much damage is under this strong attack!

"It seems that we have to help" Wei Shichun looked at Wu Weiying, but saw him frowning and shaking his head: "Can't you see that people don't want us to interfere...... After working hard to fight to the city, who is willing to let others plunder the merits".

"What if we just help each other and don't plunder" Zhang Qingzhen squinted and looked at the other side: "They are all working for the imperial court, how can they divide each other, and besides, we are also convenient for others to march to this point unharmed, so we have to express it" Liu Wenbing and Wei Shichun echoed and said yes, Wu Weiying nodded slightly when she heard this, and went to find Gao Jie and the others.

"The Shenji Battalion is willing to send troops to help, but not an inch of success!" Wu Weiying's words made Gao Jie and the three of them entangled, and they looked at each other speechlessly for a while, Wu Weiying saw this and declared again: "We have already benefited, how dare we plunder the merits!" ”

"Then thank you Master Hou next!" Seeing that he really didn't share his merits, Gao Jie was not polite, you must know that although the combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion is not good, but the firepower of the people is unparalleled in the world, although this time he didn't bring any big guys to the south, mostly small artillery such as Huzun cannons, but this kind of artillery is the field artillery that Qi Shaobao cast for mountain warfare back then!

This kind of artillery siege power is not great, but bombarding the opponent's position is far more powerful than bows and arrows, not to mention that there are hundreds of Shenji battalions, and no one can withstand them under full firepower!

"Master Hou, you must blow up this group of dogs!" Gao Jie looked at the thief army on the other side and gritted his teeth at Wu Weiying beside him.

Wu Weiying smiled: "After running thousands of miles, I finally got a job, so I want to show my hand!" "Then he ordered the Shenji battalion to enter the position and arrange artillery!

This action was the turn of Cheng Niandong on the other side of the frown, he had seen the officers and soldiers cutting wood and preparing to attack with a relaxed and even contemptuous look, but he suddenly saw the officers and soldiers in the distance coming to reinforce the army, and he couldn't see the end in the dense crowd as far as he could see, at least there were tens of thousands!

Earlier, the intelligence said that there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the other side of Wuhu, but when I saw Gao Jie coming to fight in the past 10,000 years, I thought it was a bluff of officers and soldiers.

Hmph, even if it is tens of thousands, what is there to fear, if you want to attack the city, cross this river first!

Cheng Niandong thought that since the reinforcements had arrived, the officers and soldiers would inevitably gather a large army to make strong achievements, or divide the troops to cross the river to the north and outflank them in a roundabout way, but after waiting for a long time, they saw that they did not make any big moves, but they were busy on the other side!

"General, something is wrong, look at what the officers and soldiers are doing over there" Some pro-soldiers were puzzled, Cheng Niandong looked at the river bank with a clairvoyant mirror, and suddenly his face changed: "Artillery!" ”

Officers and soldiers want to use artillery!

The subordinates were all shocked, but they quickly relieved themselves and disagreed, why are a few small cannons afraid that they are not as far as our bows and arrows......

That is, there is also this rainy day, and their artillery can't be released...... The thieves were looking at me and talking, and suddenly there was a roar and the sound of cannons.

The officers and soldiers are on the offensive!

The thief army ambushed hundreds of archers on the opposite bank to suppress the strong attack of officers and soldiers from a distance, and it was okay, we had hundreds of tigers and artillery fire to suppress it.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of the Shenji battalion fell into the middle of the bandit army on the opposite bank, screaming again and again, the thief army panicked and made a mess, Gao Jie and the three immediately ordered their subordinates to cross the water and attack, thousands of soldiers jumped into the water one after another, some crossed the water on rafts, and some swam directly over!

With the suppression of artillery, the bandit army on the opposite bank, regardless of whether the archers or combat troops dared to approach, either fled in all directions or retreated to avoid it, and the officers and soldiers on the river bank with a ten-meter-wide gap in the void of the defensive line began to land in the blink of an eye.

"Good guy, it's still artillery!" Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Hua Ma Liu smiled, the problem in front of them just now was like climbing to the sky, and it was supposed to fill the pit with the lives of countless soldiers, but at this time, only a few hundred shells were needed to solve it so easily!

The officers and soldiers landed one after another under the cover of artillery and began hand-to-hand combat with the thief army, in order to avoid injuring friendly soldiers, Wu Weiying ordered to stop the shelling, and the rest was handed over to Gao Jie and them.

Seeing that most of the people under their command crossed the river, Gao Jie and the three of them became extremely relaxed and came to thank Wu Weiying, but they found that the old man was smiling a little reluctantly, so they asked him if he was unwell.

Wu Weiying shook her head and said eloquently, but because half of the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces just now was dumb, it turned out that it was because it had been rainy recently, although she had made sufficient preparations, it was inevitable that the gunpowder would be damp!

You must know that the Shenji Battalion relies on firearms, and at this time, due to the weather, the power of muskets and artillery is halved, how can he not worry!

"Even more than half of it is enough!" Gao Jie and the three of them casually appeased and hurriedly went to the front line to supervise the battle, at this time thousands of officers and soldiers had all crossed the water to the other side to fight with the thief army.

"Mr. Gao, whether Mr. Liu needs our help, we don't have an inch!" Liu Wenbing and several people came to watch the battle and said very atmospherically.

Gao Jie waved his hand: "Kill chickens with a knife, and see how we slaughter thieves!" ”

Although Cheng Niandong's thief army was disrupted by the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, and panicked the army, then as soon as the artillery stopped, they immediately reorganized their men and horses to fight with the officers and soldiers who landed, and they were almost the same as the officers and soldiers in terms of strength, and they did not give much in terms of combat strength, and the most important thing was that they were waiting for work at ease, and they knew that if they were not defeated, they would be killed by the officers and soldiers to the city, so they rose up to resist, and once forced the officers and soldiers to retreat to the riverside.

"What the hell, the dog's day is ruthless enough" Gao Jie was slapped in the face and hated his teeth itched and stomped his feet and scolded, Er Liu's face was also extremely embarrassed, at this time, if he was not careful, he would be beaten back, and the only way to turn the tables was to invest troops again, but all the soldiers they could use at hand were thrown over, so they could only ...... But just now I rejected people's kindness!

"It's time for us to cross the river!" Zhang Qingzhen said to himself: "With so many people, it will be dark after a little delay, so it's good to take advantage of this moment to hold on tightly?" ”

"Yes, it's time to cross the river, while the three generals are opening the way for us, we have to hurry" Liu Wenbing and Wei Shichun also hurriedly agreed.

Gao Jie and the three cast grateful glances.

The pro-guard army is the pawn of Teng Zhuwei and Jin Wuwei, in previous years, he had made great achievements with Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji out of Beijing to suppress bandits, known as the Black Tiger Army, and recently followed Chang Yu to fight in the south and the north, and finally became famous in the world, not only the fine cavalry and archery and foot warfare are also fierce pawns.

Liu Wenbing gave an order, and the guards began to cross the river and rush towards the opposite bank, but Cheng Niandong over there was taken aback, good guy, so many people came over and couldn't leave if they were surrounded and wanted to, so they ordered to retreat! Gao Jie's three men were exhausted from the battle, so they did not pursue the enemy, and let them retreat into the city.

In other words, the pro-guard army just crossed the river and scared Cheng Niandong away before he participated in the war!

Cheng Niandong didn't expect that a barrier he had carefully arranged would be broken by the officers and soldiers raising their hands, and Gao Jie and Er Liu also didn't expect that the moat that they wanted to cross with heavy losses would be wiped out in a blink of an eye under the intervention of the Shenji Battalion.

"Thank you for your help in breaking the enemy today, I will definitely invite you to have a good drink after entering the city!" Gao Jie and the three of them went to Wu Weiying and others to thank them, and everyone bluntly said that they were ashamed and just a gesture.

It was almost evening, and the sky was good, and all the troops cleaned up the battlefield and repaired slightly, and then all crossed the water and headed south towards Anqing City.
