Chapter 21 Our Army is Mighty

His proposal was immediately responded to by several other people, and Zhou Fatzi was already pale with fright at this time, and he no longer had the heart to worry about last night's incident with Gao Huaiyuan, so he also nodded, looked at Gao Huaiyuan and said, "I...... I think so, this is just a small town, how to resist the Jin army! It's better to drop these things, let's go out of the West Gate as soon as possible and withdraw to Xiangyang safely! After all, we are just village soldiers, and we can't be blamed! ”

He tried to find an excuse for himself to discard the supplies.

Gao Huaiyuan despised these four people hard, and said in his heart that yesterday you were still arrogant and arrogant, and now the fucking ones have become soft eggs, and they actually encouraged Lao Tzu to lose the materials and run back to Xiangyang, you think beautifully, if you lose the materials, I have the command of the baggage battalion to make the top cylinder, you are naturally fine, if Lao Tzu goes back, I am afraid that my head will be moved!

Gao Huaiyuan smiled coldly after hearing this, and he didn't say anything, but there was a look of disdain on his face, and he looked in the direction where the Jin soldiers came from outside the city!

"Since everyone wants to get out of the town and retreat to Xiangyang, then Gao naturally has no opinion, this time it seems that there are not many cavalry from the Jin Army, only about five hundred people, if you are lightly armed, you may be able to outrun the cavalry of the Jin Army! In this case, I order the west gate to be opened, and if you want to hurry up, then set out as soon as possible! Gao Huaiyuan didn't look at their expressions, and pointed to the yellow dust that Jin Jun had set off in the direction he came and said to them.

Several people immediately stretched their necks to look, and their faces suddenly changed, so County Lieutenant Zhou was not furious at this time, and hurriedly asked Gao Huaiyuan: "Is the commander Gao also going to retreat to Xiangyang with me and the others?" ”

"Of course not! Gao has a life, if these baggage is lost, the head on the item is not guaranteed, I naturally will not drop these baggage to go, horizontal and vertical is a death, I will lead the baggage battalion here and the Jin army to fight to the death, if you want to go, leave as soon as possible, just for Gao to report, please Xiangyang as soon as possible to send reinforcements to support Gao! Gao Huaiyuan played a trick.

Several people's faces changed greatly when they heard this, although they were not convinced by Gao Huaiyuan, but they had to admit that Gao Huaiyuan's baggage battalion was the absolute main force among them, and only his baggage battalion had combat effectiveness, and if he didn't leave, he would release his gang of people out of Qifang Town, just by virtue of their people, even if their parents gave them two more legs, they couldn't outrun the cavalry of the Jin Army! Not to mention escaping back to Xiangyang City, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to reach Baihe, and I will be killed by people chopping melons and vegetables.

Zhou County Lieutenant secretly scolded, you bastard thinks of the United States, Lao Tzu offended you last night, you will drive Lao Tzu out of Qifang Town, give you as an introduction, disperse the strength of the Jin soldiers, Lao Tzu is not stupid, he can't leave here if he is killed, so his face suddenly changed to a heroic look and said: "It's not right for the senior commander to say this, you have a life, and we have a life!" Since Commander Gao is not leaving, then Zhou is not leaving! Right here, accompany Commander Gao to join the Jin Army in Qifang Town, I want to see what the Jin Army can do with me! Looking at him at this time, it was as if he was going to be generous and righteous, and he spoke loudly.

Several other people also immediately figured it out, if they led people to rush out and escape, there was only one way to die, although Qifang Town is not big, but at least there are a thousand heavy camps of Gao Huaiyuan here, and there is also a wall, hiding here, at least they will not die soon, so as soon as they heard what Lieutenant Zhou said, they immediately understood the taste, so they immediately said: "What Lieutenant Zhou said is right, since Commander Gao is not leaving, then we will not leave either!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan despised these guys in his heart, so he said to Zhou County Lieutenant: "Here Zhou County Lieutenant is the oldest, and the highest grade, presumably Zhou County Lieutenant must be quite experienced in fighting, so Gao is willing to listen to Zhou County Captain's orders, how about this battle be presided over by Zhou County Lieutenant?" Gao expected that as soon as the Jin soldiers arrived, they would definitely storm the east gate, and there would be a county lieutenant of Laozhou here to give the Jin soldiers a look! ”

The sweat on Fat Zhou's head flowed down at once, and he said in his heart, this bad boy wants me to die! Although I'm a fucking county lieutenant, when have I ever done the job of carrying a knife into battle! If I am in command, there is only one way, which is to open the door immediately and surrender and pull down! But looking at Gao Huaiyuan's tiger back and pressing the handle of the knife, he knew that if he said the word surrender, he would definitely not survive for a while, and he would be cut down by Gao Huaiyuan!

"How can Commander Gao say this! This time, there is an order from the peak, let me wait to obey the orders of the high commander, and I don't know who else knows the prestige of the high commander! This battle is naturally scheduled by a high command, and Zhou will definitely be a high commander of the horse! Zhou County Lieutenant said to Gao Huaiyuan with a righteous face, and at the same time stared at the other servants, holding the handle of the knife, as if if this servant said no, he would draw a knife and cut people!

Gao Huaiyuan really admires the reaction speed of this Zhou County Lieutenant, it's a fucking pity that this guy wasn't born to be an actor in the next generation, otherwise, at least he can come back with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!

"We are willing to listen to the dispatch of the high command, and we will look forward to the head of the horse with the high command! ......," the others immediately replied.

Gao Huaiyuan, where will he waste saliva with them now! So he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Since you trust you so much, then Gao will be reluctant to be the master!"

However, Gao Mou said that the front is not ugly, since Gao Mou is in charge and presides over this battle, then you had better listen to Gao's command, if someone does not respect the order, Gao Mou will never be polite to him for the sake of the overall situation and the lives of these two thousand people, and the military order must not be violated, otherwise, everyone will ......look at it."

Before Gao Huaiyuan's words fell, he suddenly pulled out the dragon scale knife on his waist, and swung it at the thick branch of a tree next to him that stretched out to the wall of the wall, and the branch fell down with a click, making a crackling sound.

"Those who dare to disrespect orders are like this! Gao will not be spared! Gao Huaiyuan returned the knife to the sheath with a thud, and said to them sharply.

Several people suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, nodded together and bowed down and agreed: "Obey the order!" ……”

Gao Huaiyuan is afraid that once these people get into a fight, they will not listen to their orders and cause trouble for themselves, so they will play such a play for them, and they will collide with headless flies when the time comes, and the most feared thing in the army is multi-headed management.

"You go down and immediately order your archers, pikemen, and sword and shield men to climb the city wall under my command, and you are each responsible for leading the rest of the coachmen, men, and other people who do not join the team, and no one is responsible for the support of a walled wall, collect everything that can be collected for me, and transport it to the wall, and if the rolling wood and stone are not enough, demolish the house for me, and bring me all the bricks and tiles!" Besides, immediately unload the shuttle guns, arrows, bows and crossbows and other things transported on the car, and also transport them to the wall! In short, I want you to ensure that there will be no shortage of materials on the wall, otherwise, I will ask you for guilt! Also, Judge Qi, you are responsible for organizing a team of fifty overseers in our baggage camp to patrol the town, and if you find someone who doesn't obey orders and is running around, don't report to me, kill them on the spot! Let's all go down! Gao Huaiyuan commanded these people loudly.

Several people were silent, and hurriedly agreed, wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, ran down the wall quickly, and began to arrange according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions.

So a large number of villagers were caught up in the wall, joined the baggage battalion, and the heads of the baggage battalion were uniformly dispatched and used, and the remaining people who did not join the team began to demolish the houses under the leadership of the four guys, and the stones were transported, and the town was immediately busy for a while.

At this time, the Jin soldiers on the east side of the town had also arrived outside the town, the war horses were neighing outside the town, and the Jin cavalry rode war horses around the town and galloped back and forth, showing off their strength and roaring to demonstrate to these townsmen in the town, while the infantry army was entrenched and surrounded the town.

Gao Huaiyuan visually measured the opponent's strength, and was secretly taken aback in his heart, originally he thought that the Jin soldiers who came over this time were the two thousand Jin troops stationed east of Xiaoyizhuang, but when he looked at it, he found that the Jin army was far more than that, at least about 4,000 people, and the strength was more than twice as many as them, it seems that his luck was really good, and if he met a Jin soldier casually, it was a tough battle, thank God for his favor!

After seeing so many golden soldiers outside, those villagers who had never seen the world were a little numb, and their expressions were panicked, and some of them were so shaky that they could barely catch the guys.

"Give me all calm! I'm afraid of them! The last time Lao Tzu followed the high commander to meet more Jin soldiers in the tiger's mouth than this, at that time we were only a few hundred people, and we beat the Jin soldiers to the ground, what are you afraid of them doing? Damn the ball is facing up, it's still the New Year if you don't die! If you don't have eggs, don't fucking be a grandfather! Stand up straight for me, set Lao Tzu's orders for a while, what Lao Tzu tells you to do, you can do it, I'm afraid of a fart! A chief shouted at his recruits and the few villagers who were newly assigned to him, although this was a bit rough, but it worked very well, he followed Gao Huaiyuan to fight two tough battles with Jin Bing, this time after seeing Jin Bing coming, he was no longer the rookie he was a few months ago, and he proudly commanded these recruits.

Not only was he so encouraged, but most of the township warriors in Daye County were doing the same thing with him at this time, loudly cheering up the recruits* under their command to boost their morale, and gradually these recruits looked at their respective small leaders' calm demeanor, and gradually began to settle down.

With batches of bows and arrows and other things sent to the wall, everyone took a bow or crossbow, can't shoot arrows, it's no problem to use a crossbow, anyway, this thing is aimed and launched, it's much simpler than making a bow, or just say, the crossbow is the sharp weapon of the Song army, and the whole army can be an archer this time!

When the baggage soldiers are beneficial, at least a large number of weapons can be used at any time, and when everyone receives the bow and crossbow, not to mention their combat effectiveness, at least in the long-range weapons, they will have a great advantage.

Therefore, when there is a bow or a crossbow in their hands, the villagers have a little courage, and they are busy helping each other with bowstrings or crossbowstrings, hanging them, and then taking them in their hands to try the feel, which is a lot more relieved.

Jin Bing obviously knew the identity of Gao Huaiyuan and his party, and when they surrounded the town, a Jin army centurion held a spear and slowly walked to the east gate of the town to stand still.

"The people in the town listened, our general has the virtue of a good life, Zhun Er and others open the door and surrender, promise not to kill you, as long as you put down your weapons and come out, hand over your baggage, our general said, and let you go home! If not, don't blame our men for being ruthless, and set foot on this projectile land in one fell swoop, and you will not be left behind! Give you a stick of incense time to consider! If the time for a stick of incense is up, if you don't open the door and surrender, our army will start attacking! The centurion of the golden army shouted loudly into the town.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on the wall and looked at this guy, and sneered, the Jin army went south this time, and he had killed a lot of Song people, so he didn't believe the Jin people's nonsense, what surrender and not killing, it was simply a fart, but he didn't believe it, it didn't mean that everyone didn't believe it, so there was a slight commotion in the town, and some timid people looked at Gao Huaiyuan with blank eyes, and their eyes were full of pleading, as if they wanted to ask Gao Huaiyuan to agree to Jin Bing's conditions, and simply surrender and pull down!

But after Gao Huaiyuan heard the words of this Jin Bing, he shouted to him: "Save your energy!" We are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we surrender to you barbarians! I want to advise you, our Song people are not as easy to bully as you think, and it is not easy for your parents to give birth to you, so you should go back honestly and hold the child! If you dare to come, you can ask Lao Tzu's bow if he agrees! ”

After saying that, he raised his bow and raised his hand to shoot an arrow, and after the arrow crossed a graceful arc in the air, it immediately fell in front of the horse of the centurion of the golden army, only less than a foot away, and it was shot on the horse's head, and the war horse is also a spiritual animal, and when he saw this arrow, he was startled, and even if the front hooves were raised, a sloppy neigh, and the golden centurion was almost lifted off the horse.

The guy hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, struggled to control the horse, turned the horse back for a distance, turned his head and gritted his teeth and scolded: "What a thing that doesn't know what to do, since you don't know how to lift, then don't blame us Dajin for being polite!" With that, he immediately turned his horse and ran towards their Chinese army.

Gao Huaiyuan instructed: "Gentlemen, prepare, we are Song people, don't fall into the ambition of our Song people!" Let the golden people also see our courage! Our army is mighty! In the end, he raised his strong bow in his hand and roared loudly at the might of our army.

Immediately, first of all, the veterans who followed him immediately shouted in unison: "Our army is mighty......"

With their majestic roar, the recruits in the army, who were still a little nervous, were also infected, so they shouted with them: "Our army is mighty......

Such a roar echoed over Qifang Town for a long time, startling the jackdaws flying in all directions, flapping their wings and fleeing into the distant sky.

The Jin army general frowned and looked at Qifang Town, which was constantly roaring, and asked his subordinates beside him, "Are you sure that there are a group of southerners in it?" ”

His subordinates also had a hint of doubt, nodded and said, "It should be right!" The scouts discovered their whereabouts in the morning, their banners were mixed, and their clothes and armor were equally messy, it should not be the garrison of the Southerners! This scout can't be mistaken! ”

This Jin general nodded and said: "In this case, they are just a group of rabble, but the person leading the troops may have some ability, at most it is a bluff!" Come on, give the order, the first team will come forward and test them! ”

So in the sound of the war drums of the Jin army, a group of golden soldiers with shields and spears stood in front of the army, and there were dozens of golden soldiers in the middle, carrying a sharpened log and using it as a ram.

"Roar ......" The golden soldiers let out a roar in unison, and then began to march towards the east gate of Qifang Town with neat steps.

"Four hundred steps...... 300 steps...... 200 steps...... One hundred and fifty steps...... "There are soldiers on the wall of Qifang Town, constantly reporting the distance of the approaching Jin army.

"One hundred steps ......" Gao Huaiyuan shouted at this time: "The crossbowman aims, and the archers take the arrows!" Get ready! Everyone, hold on, and let me tell you when they're in range before firing the arrows!" After having a few experiences with Jin Bing, he also saw that Jin Bing was a tentative attack this time, and he passed down the order with great experience.

Everyone put their arrows on their bowstrings, and the crossbowmen raised their crossbows one after another, pointing them at the formation of the golden army.

"Shield!" The centurion of the golden soldiers in the front row also ordered his men to arrive after seeing that they were beginning to enter the range of the Song people's crossbow arrows.

With a "...... bang", the golden soldiers in the front row raised the round shields in their hands one after another and protected them on their chests.

"Crossbow fire!" Gao Huaiyuan roared sharply, this golden soldier seems to be not very well prepared, and the soldiers sent are not the heavy infantry used in the attack, but they are all holding round shields with a small protective area, not the kind of long shields that are more than half a person high, which is good news.

With his order, the crossbowmen pulled off the machine in their hands one after another, and there was a tense sound of crossbow machine hitting on the wall, and as soon as the crossbow arrow immediately left the string, it was scattered towards the golden soldiers who were rushing over.

As the crossbow arrows fell, some of the soldiers in the neat ranks of the golden soldiers immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and the blood immediately splashed on the soldiers around them, but these soldiers didn't even look at the fallen robes, and continued to move forward with a numb look, leaving the fallen people behind.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at this round of launches, a little disappointed, although a lot of crossbow arrows were shot, but the real damage to the Jin army was not great, but after thinking about it, this group of recruits used crossbows for the first time, and it was understandable that they could not master it well! So I was relieved.
