"Huang Bao, the map from Song County to Ruyang that you made is not bad. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

On the night after the military discussion, Li Xiao held a thick candle in his hand, looked at the huge cowhide map hanging on the wall, and smiled and praised Huang Bao, the director of the security department who was standing solemnly on the side.

Li Xiao saw that in this map of Song County and Ruyang, all kinds of peaks, rivers, villages and towns, roads and other objects within a radius of hundreds of miles have been marked in detail, but it is clear at a glance. Of course, compared with modern maps, although the maps drawn by the ancients look simple, they are also accurate and detailed, and there are no errors or omissions, and they are also very convenient to use.

"Master Xie praises absurdly, this six methods of cartography, the score, the quasi-hope, the Tao, the superior, the evil, the straightforward, if you master these, it is probably not bad." Huang Bao replied with a smile: "Drawing this picture is just a little skill of our former Jinyi Wei, but it is nothing." ”

"Well, you've been waiting for this time too hard, so go down early and rest." Li Xiao gave Huang Bao a warm smile.

Huang Bao bowed his hand, and then withdrew from the tent.

Li Xiaowu watched endlessly in front of the map, but he was very emotional in his heart.

As early as more than two months ago, Li Xiao ordered Huang Bao, director of the Security Department, to draw a map of Song County and Ruyang.

In fact, when Li Xiao proposed three strategies for Lu Xiangsheng, he had already thought that the general trend of history might be extremely difficult to be changed by a few words of his own, but when Lu Xiangsheng finally only adopted his own strategy, he realized how helpless he was in his heart.

Why is it so hard to change history?

Li Xiao sighed heavily, shook his head, pulled his thoughts back, and refocused on the map in front of him.

His gaze, after carefully looking at all parts of the map, finally stopped on a mountain range called "Jiugao Mountain", and then, in his eyes, gradually showed a solemn color.

Li Xiao smashed his fist on the three characters of Jiugao Mountain, and his mind had been decided.

"Hurry up and invite Governor Chen and General Zu to come to our military account to discuss matters." Li Xiao ordered a guard sergeant on the side.

The sergeant hurriedly left, and soon, Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, and Zu Dale, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, came to Li Xiao's tent together.

Li Xiao immediately briefly explained his tactical ideas to the two.

"Jiugao Mountain? Can Mr. Li think about fighting against the thief Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng here? Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, asked with a beard, but his face was full of panic.

Li Xiao nodded: "It is here, Li is thinking, this Jiugao Mountain, located at the junction of Song County and Ruyang, has a dangerous terrain, and is not far from Yishui, so it is very easy to set up an ambush for battle." And this terrain, by the river choke, is the key place for the Liukou to enter the Ruzhou Capital, the Liukou do not know the situation of our army, when they will not give up the near and far, they will enter Ruzhou from here. Our army set up an ambush here, but it happened to catch him by surprise. ”

Chen Biqian is a civilian official, and he doesn't know what to do with military affairs, and when he saw Li Xiao say so firmly and confidently, his heart suddenly relaxed. He nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zu Dale on the side whispered his worries.

"Li Xiao, your choice of this Jiugao Mountain is indeed important, and the old man really has no objection in his heart. However, the thing I am most worried about is that the enemy army has too many troops, and even if our army sets up an ambush, it may be difficult to defeat the rogues. ”

Li Xiao looked back at him with burning eyes, and said categorically: "Father-in-law, don't worry, now my department has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, my father-in-law has 5,000 soldiers, and Governor Chen's subordinates also have 3,000 soldiers and horses, so that our department has a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses available for combat, and according to Governor Lu, the high Yingshen Li Zicheng department in the middle of the attack should be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, although there are five or six times the number of our army, but our army guards this Jiugao Mountain, it is a place where a man is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open. But it's really hard to break through my Jiugao Mountain. ”

"If possible, our army will still be here, relying on the terrain, to destroy this Gao Yingshen Li Zicheng in one fell swoop!" Li Xiao clenched his right fist and smashed it between Jiugao Mountain and Yishui.

Seeing Li Xiao so confident, Governor Chen Biqian was very happy, and the worried look on Zu Dale's face disappeared a lot.

"So, virtuous son-in-law, when will I march to Jiugao Mountain?" Zu Dale asked again.

"The whole army rested for two days, prepared all the grain and grass, repaired the equipment, and immediately marched to Jiugao Mountain!"

。。。。。。

On November 20, the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's army of more than 100,000 people, after successively breaking through Luoning County, Muxi Town and other important places, and killing and looting these places, the overwhelming army of Liukou turned to the southeast, along the north bank of the Gaodu River River, all the way to Song County.

On this day, the weather was quite cold, the air was overcast, and the wind roared, sweeping through the vast northern wilderness, wrapped in countless sand and dust, blowing on people's faces, but it hurt like a small knife cutting.

Gao Yingxiang, dressed in a luxurious mountain armor and lined with thick warm velvet cushions, sat on a tall horse, although he tried his best to wrap the clothes on his body, he still shrunk.

In order to prevent the sand and dust from blowing into his eyes and mouth, he squinted his eyes slightly, tightened his mouth, and looked bitter, but in his heart, he was inexplicably happy and relieved.

Since the confluence of the Liukou and the entry of more than 200,000 troops into Henan, it can be said that it is almost invincible and invincible. Everywhere they passed, the Ming army was invincible, and it was crushed when it was touched.

Although the troops have now been divided, there are still frequent good news everywhere, which further verifies the correctness of their original arrangement.

Thinking of this, a cold light crossed Gao Yingxiang's face, he snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly, this land of Henan is just a place for his own transit, and when he reaches the more wealthy Nanzhili, he will be able to kill and plunder wildly with impunity.

Thinking of the place of Nanzhili, there will be countless goods, grain, livestock, and women waiting for him, Gao Yingxiang suddenly felt that his mood was agitated, and the more he wanted to quickly pass through Ruzhou Mansion, and then pass Kaifeng Mansion, pass through this dilapidated Henan, and go to the Nanzhili Flower World.

"King Gao Chuang, the city at the junction of Gaodu River and Yishui in front of you is Song County." Li Zicheng next to him also had a high-spirited face, he pointed to the gray and black blurred city shadow in front of him, and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang snorted, his eyes widened slightly, and his eyes were full of greedy light.

"Pass my military order, send someone to go forward to investigate, and see the reality of Song County. Tell them that if they can surrender, our army should be dealt with leniently, and if they dare to resist the righteous army, they will slaughter the entire city of soldiers and civilians, and there will be no chickens and dogs! A sinister smile appeared on Gao Yingxiang's face.

After Gao Yingxiang finished speaking, several thieves next to him burst out laughing.

They knew that Gao Yingxiang's words were just to trick the defenders into opening the door and surrendering, since entering Henan, these vicious and cruel thieves, in fact, no matter whether those counties, counties, prefectures and towns surrendered or conquered, they were all raised with butcher knives, killing blood all over the city, and people were rolling.

After all, to feed this large number of rogues, not to slaughter, not to plunder, where to get the goods, grain and grass. You know, the consumption of more than 100,000 troops in a day is a staggering number.

"Order!" More than a dozen horsemen rode away.

When the cavalry came to the river, they were delighted to find that the Ming troops had not even dismantled the pontoon bridge. The Liukou cavalry thought proudly that it was estimated that those Ming dogs had been frightened by their own army, so they fled into Songshan County in such a hurry, so that even the pontoon bridge was not demolished.

The cavalry galloped across the pontoon bridge, deliberately screaming and circling the city, one to watch the enemy's situation be real, and the other to intimidate the Ming army defending the city.

"Listen to the bright dog in the city, the tall king of my family is merciful and does not want to kill, as long as you wait for the city gate to open and welcome my righteous army to enter, the tall king said, but you can stay and wait for your life, and you can keep the people of the city safe."

The rogue cavalry shouted loudly from a stone's throw from the city gates, and laughed loudly as they winked at the city.

A slightly chubby figure appeared tremblingly on the city gate.

This person is Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, and his face, which was red because of anger, was full of indignation.

"Phew! You despicable and shameless thieves who have killed the people! If you say this, who can you deceive! Chen Biqian pointed to one of the leading cavalrymen and scolded: "That Lingbao and Ruxiang are two places, looking at the wind and descending, haven't you also slaughtered all these two cities, haven't you killed all the men, women and children in the whole city?" Now I want to make such a despicable trick, I want to earn my Song County, phew! Trick the devil to go. Wait until you go back and tell that bastard surnamed Gao that he wants to take Song County, but he can send troops to attack, and my Song County soldiers and civilians, even if they fight until there is only one soldier left, they will not surrender! ”

After Chen Biqian finished scolding, several generals next to him aimed at the rogue cavalry in the distance, and swished several arrows in succession, frightening those rogue cavalry to pull out their horses and leave.

Looking at the rogue cavalry who were leaving in embarrassment, Chen Biqian sighed.

Although Fang Cai's words were scolded, but when he looked at the almost boundless army of rogues on the other side of the Gaoduchuan River from afar, he was very worried and uneasy.

This Li Xiao ordered himself to lead 3,000 Henan soldiers to rush to the aid of Song County, should he not be an outcast.

Although he knew that Li Xiao, who was loyal and diligent in state affairs, should not be this kind of villain, Chen Biqian still couldn't help muttering in his heart.

After the cavalry returned, they immediately hurriedly reported Chen Biqian's reply to Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang was furious.

"Okay, you will bring about your own destruction, but don't blame me for being ruthless." Gao Yingxiang's face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "The whole army crosses the bridge, and after crossing the Gaodu River, they will immediately attack Song County." After capturing the county seat, he did not seal the knife for three days, killed all the people in the city, and all the women with goods and goods were taken by himself! ”

After the order was passed down, more than 100,000 rogues let out earth-shaking cheers and rushed to the pontoon bridge in the distance.

What Gao Yingxiang didn't expect was that the whole army had just moved, but he heard a subtle and frequent sound of horses' hooves coming from the north.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and in the distance on the northern horizon, a large group of cavalry poured out like a black line.

"Who's coming?" Gao Yingxiang asked in a low voice to Li Zicheng on the side.

Li Zicheng was also puzzled, and he hurriedly sent more than a dozen cavalry to meet him to see what was going on.

More than a dozen horsemen mounted their horses, and when they were about a hundred paces away from the oncoming cavalry, they quickly watched for a moment, and then immediately pulled their horses back.

They were accompanied by arrows whizzing from behind.

"King Gao Chuang, it's the cavalry of Ming Gouzi who is here!"

The cavalry who returned in panic gasped and reported to Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang's face suddenly swelled with a shocked expression.

Isn't it, which Ming army is so blind, and dares to take the initiative to attack its own more than 100,000 soldiers?!

"King Gao Chuang, the number of people who come from Ming Gouzi is not large, according to me, there are only about a thousand horses." Li Zicheng, who was on the side, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the Ming army coming from a distance, and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang.

"Oh?"

Gao Yingxiang was very suspicious, this group of more than 1,000 cavalry troops who dared to attack him, could it be that he lost his mind, or ate the gall of a leopard?

Just as he was thinking, those Ming cavalry, about seventy or eighty paces away from him, stopped their horses' hooves, and then began to throw arrows one after another.

The archery skills of the Ming army were not very skillful, and in the case of such a long distance, only a few dozen or so arrows hit the infantrymen and their families, causing a certain number of minor injuries.

Soon, the Ming army fired several rounds in succession, killing or wounding more than 400 rogue soldiers and their families.

It should be said that the losses caused by these 1,000 Ming cavalry to more than 100,000 rogue soldiers are very small.

It's just that these batches are like a hateful flyworm, biting on the side of the elephant, but it makes the elephant itch uncomfortably.

Especially Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the Liukou, was quite upset and angry.

"King Gao Chuang, did you destroy this Ming army first, or ignore them and go to Song County?" Li Zicheng on the side frowned and asked for instructions.

"The whole army will suspend its march into Song County, and first eliminate this Ming army." Gao Yingxiang, whose face was churning with anger, gave this order almost without thinking.

As soon as these words were finished, 3,000 rogue cavalry let out a wolf-like howl, shouting and chasing after the Ming cavalry about 100 steps away from them.

The Ming cavalry, as if deliberately waiting for the rogue's action, immediately turned their horses and retreated northward.

Three thousand rogue cavalry, in hot pursuit.

Soon, the Ming cavalry that fled in front and the Liukou cavalry who pursued behind disappeared into the northern horizon.

About twenty minutes had passed, and the pursuing rogue cavalry had not yet returned.

"Damn, these bastards haven't been back for so long, what are they doing!" A rogue general who was cowering in the cold phoenix shouted with a frown.

Gao Yingxiang also looked impatient.

Coincidentally, as soon as this person finished speaking, three muffled explosions were heard in the distance.

Gao Yingxiang's face changed instantly.

"Ah, Ming Gouzi actually set up an ambush and buried a bomber, what a fucking calculation!" Li Zicheng exclaimed.

Gao Yingxiang was very angry when he looked at the only remaining more than 300 rogue cavalry, screaming and running back in disheveled clothes.

He slapped his thigh hard and scolded: "Damn, I'm careless!" ”

"King Gao Chuang, what should I do now?" Li Zicheng asked anxiously.

"What else can I do? Damn! With a sound of brushing the ground, Gao Yingxiang drew his knife in his hand, and then raised it high and roared loudly: "Spread the order of the king, the whole army will march north, and this Ming army, which does not know whether it is alive or dead, will be wiped out in one fell swoop!" ”

"Order!" The crowd below shouted loudly, and the sound shook like thunder.
