"For the generals to judge the situation and make full use of their own advantages to fight the enemy, this is the basic skill! It's been nearly a year since you and I came here, but there's still a lot to learn! Fighting a war is not something that can be won by the courage of a horseman! You people must remember to me that there must be my division in the threesome, and you must pay more attention to the advantages of others and absorb and use them, General Hu is much stronger than us in terms of commanding troops! If this battle can be successful, then we should go to Zaoyang to meet again and we won't be able to finish the race! Gao Huaiyuan stood on the * and watched the movement in the east direction of the river, and at the same time instructed the teenagers around him who came out of Crouching Tiger Village with him.

"Yes! Top dog! We've all remembered! Hey! Huang Yan talked a lot, and after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, he immediately replied.

The rest of the teenagers also bowed down to the order, now they are all in the township barracks to hold important positions, don't look at their youth, but they have won the respect of those township warriors, after more than years of tempering, each has some young and old-fashioned appearance, the behavior is quite rough, but once they act, they all exude a soaring murderous atmosphere.

"You go down and check the preparation of your respective subordinates, we were put behind by General Hu in this battle, it is his trust in us, you must not underestimate the enemy, you must obey the order for a while, and do not act without permission to ruin a big thing!" After Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Song army in Hedong had begun to engage the Jin army, he immediately instructed the young people around him.

For a long time, as long as there was an opportunity, Gao Huaiyuan would gather these teenagers together and explain to them the strategies used in each battle, and this time was no exception.

After Hu Zaixing led the troops to cross the river, he was soon discovered by the Jin army, Wanyan Azheng was depressed to death, and was worried about not being able to annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop.

Five thousand Jin army against two thousand Song army, it seems that the Jin army seems to occupy the absolute advantage of the battlefield, so the Jin army, which has been depressed for many days, looks good morale, and the whole army is on the line under the leadership of Wan Yan'a, intending to solve the Song army of Hu Zaixing in one fell swoop, the Jin army put out a goose-shaped formation and outflanked the Song army.

Hu Zaixing immediately led his troops, transformed into a circular formation, and tied up the formation, and the two armies immediately launched a battle in the east of the river.

Although Wanyan Ah has a lot of appetite, but he still despised the combat effectiveness of Hu Zaixing's army, although he waved his army many times to launch several attacks on Hu Zaixing's army, but Hu Zaixing led the army to firmly hold the position, and the random arrows repelled his offensive, giving full play to the defensive function of the circular array, so that the Jin army had no way to take them for a while, but was killed and injured by the Song army.

This battle lasted for a whole morning, and neither side had a way to take anyone, and the Jin army occupied a numerical advantage after all, and their army was also the elite soldiers under Wanyan Saibu, so the Song army gradually showed a little chaos after a fierce battle for half a day, and gradually began to retreat in the direction of the ferry.

Wanyan A saw the Song army gradually retreating, so he was overjoyed: "Beat the drum and give the order, the whole army will attack, this time no matter what, I can't let go of this damn Song army, and slaughter them all for me!" ”

With the rumbling sound of war drums, the Jin army began to launch a fierce attack on the whole army, and the Hu Zaixing army finally could not withstand the pressure of the Jin army, and began to retreat gradually, showing a defeat.

Finally, under the heavy pressure of the Jin army, the Song army finally began to retreat, swarming onto the ferry, rushing over several makeshift pontoon bridges, and fleeing to the west of the river.

And Hu Zaixing personally led an elite of more than 300 people, retreated behind the palace, and blocked the Jin soldiers several times to rush violently, so as not to end up with a whole army annihilated, seeing that most of the Song army had crossed the river, Hu Zaixing led the army to retreat to the west of the river.

At this time, the Jin army followed the Song army and also chased to the river, for fear that the Song army would tear down the pontoon bridge after withdrawing across the river, and fought fiercely with Hu Zaixing in the direction of the bridgehead for a while.

Hu Zaixing was unable to fight, so he had to give up the pontoon bridge and lead the army to flee to the west of the river.

After seeing the defeat of the Song army and crossing the river, Wan Yan'a was overjoyed, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hu Zai Xing Erer!" Give my whole army a quick crossing, and this time I can't let this guy escape again! Pass on my general order, take down the head of Hu Zaixing, reward me with 100 yuan, and give me a rush! ”

But one of his advisers suddenly persuaded him: "The general is careful, although the Song army was defeated, but it was not in chaos, it is not a big mess, this time it is a plan of the Song army, the general should send a battalion to cross the river to test it first!" ”

"Cut! The Song army is just this little bit of men, I have already sent someone to investigate, the number of the Song army is only 3,000, and now most of them have retreated, even if there is an ambush, what can I do? It's a rare opportunity, Hugh has to say more! The whole army crosses the river and pursues Hu Zaixing for me! Move fast! Wanyan Ah didn't take this strategist's words to heart at all.

And that strategist thinks about it, Hu Zaixing's soldiers and horses are not many, this battle can be said to be his elite exhausted, and it is impossible to have many reinforcements, so he no longer persuaded Yan A, with Wan Yan A's order, thousands of Jin troops rushed to start grabbing the pontoon bridge, crossing the river to prepare to pursue Hu Zaixing's soldiers and horses.

Gao Huaiyuan hid in the bushes, slightly nervously staring at the movement of the Jin army in the direction of the ferry, holding one of his hard bows in one hand, and a few arrows wrapped in oilcloth in his hand, the rest of the archers each prepared a few rockets, and also nervously looked through the dense bushes to watch the Jin army rushing to cross the pontoon bridge in the direction of the ferry.

The Jin army was unaware that there were hundreds of Song soldiers hiding in a few bushes where several pontoon bridges were less than a stone's throw away, just staring at the Song army fleeing all the way to the west, and the army rushed across the pontoon bridge, the swaying pontoon bridge swayed from side to side, from time to time someone was squeezed off the pontoon bridge, and the soldiers in iron armor didn't even have time to shout for help, so they sank into the river water two or three people deep like a scale, and only a bunch of bubbles remained on the water surface.

Such scenes happened from time to time, and the scene was somewhat chaotic, so frightened that the Jin army, who was not good at water, had to slow down and cross the river, and the provincial people were squeezed into the river by their own people and drowned alive.

Gao Huaiyuan silently counted the number of Jin troops crossing the river, and after seeing that nearly half of the Jin army crossed the river, he suddenly lowered his voice and gave the order: "Ignite!" ”

Xiang Yong, who specializes in ignition, took out the fire sickle velvet in his arms, clicked it, lit the torch, and a rocket tied with oilcloth or gunpowder immediately stretched out to the torch and lit it.

"Shoot!" As Gao Huaiyuan shouted, as soon as the words fell, the village soldiers and archers stood up from behind the bushes, and at the same time opened their bows with all their might, aiming their arrows at the pontoon bridges crowded with golden soldiers, and immediately loosened their strings and launched rockets one after another.

The sudden change immediately startled the Jin army, and suddenly a group of Song troops appeared around, which was not a good thing for them, so the Jin army immediately began to be a little chaotic.

No one noticed anything unusual on the pontoon bridge under their feet, but some people slightly smelled some grease in the air, but they didn't find that the wooden planks and branches on the pontoon bridge had already been soaked in fire oil.

But instead of shooting at the crowd on the pontoon, more arrows were taken from the pontoon, and when the arrows were nailed to the planks on the pontoon, a burst of fire immediately took off.

At this time, Wanyan Ah had just gotten on the bridge, riding on a horse and walking half the distance of the pontoon bridge, and the front and rear were crowded with golden soldiers, when he saw the rockets flying all over the sky, he was a little shocked at first, and then when he saw the sudden fire on the pontoon bridge, he suddenly understood.

"Not good! Hit the trick! Damn, hurry up and go back! Hurry back ......" The panicked Wanyan Ah immediately waved the iron lance in his hand, shouting and shouting to his subordinates Jin Bing to quickly retreat to the east of the river.

But at this time, when the army was halfway through, how could he retreat with a word! As the dense rockets fell, several pontoon bridges burst into flames, and smoke rose into the sky.

The Jin soldiers crowded on the bridge suddenly made a mess, and the flames licked the Jin soldiers on the bridge like the core of a poisonous snake.

More Jin soldiers were burned by the fire and their armor was burned, and they jumped around on the bridge, and then plunged headlong into the river, preferring to be drowned in the water rather than burned alive by the fire.

The Jin soldiers who crossed the river were so messed up, and they all panicked, and they didn't know how many Song army ambushes were arranged around, and without unified command, they didn't know what to do at all, whether to charge or quickly turn around and run back to Hedong, they had no idea for a while, and they crowded by the river in a chaotic manner, and no one led the army to the bushes where Gao Huaiyuan, the township soldier, was hiding.

The chaos of the Jin army was a great help to Gao Huaiyuan, after seeing that the pontoon bridge was on fire, he immediately ordered the archers to turn the target to the Jin soldiers who had already crossed the river, and began to hunt the Jin soldiers. ”

So a few of the villagers who were in charge of firing immediately swung their hammers and smashed them on the machine, and after a few heart-wrenching sounds, a puff of jackdaw arrows flew out from a few bushes in response, and swooped down on the golden soldiers who were in chaos at the bridgehead.

When Gao Huaiyuan set up these bed crossbows, he installed cylinders on the crossbow strings, and did not use that kind of giant arrows, in order to increase the lethality of personnel, so after this launch, hundreds of featherless arrows were shot out at one time, dense like wasps out of the nest, and suddenly swept a large area, shooting a group of people over the golden soldiers crowded at the bridge.

At such a close distance, it is almost equivalent to launching with a nose, no matter how good they are, the golden soldiers can't stop such sharp arrows, the arrows carry a huge inertia, after hitting the golden soldiers, the featherless arrows even directly penetrate the body of the golden soldiers, and even the people behind them are not spared, so just one round of firing has caused huge damage to the dense Jin army.

"Keep winding! Huang Yan, Zhou Hao, Ergou...... You guys rush with me! The archers continue to suppress the golden soldiers! After Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Jin army had been completely in chaos, he immediately dropped the hard bow in his hand, took over his Mo knife in Zhou Hao's hand, roared wildly, and rushed out of the bushes and killed the Jin army.

Huang Yan, Zhou Hao and others immediately obeyed the order, brought the spearmen and shield soldiers among the township soldiers to follow Gao Huaiyuan, and brazenly slaughtered out of the bushes and pounced on the Jin army.

This time is really enough for the Jin army to drink a pot, Gao Huaiyuan and these people are like tigers out of the gate, breaking into the crowd of Jin soldiers, and launching a massacre like chopping melons and vegetables with knives and guns.

Poor Jin Army General Wan Yan A, originally wanted to completely kill Hu Zaixing, and made a great achievement, but he didn't think that as soon as he arrived on the bridge, he was ambushed by the Song army, ignited the pontoon bridge, and was squeezed in the middle of the bridge on the horse.

Wanyan Ah was wearing two layers of iron armor, imitating the ancestors of the Jurchens, imagining that they were as fierce as they were, invulnerable, but at this time they became a deadly object, dozens of catties of iron armor wrapped around his body, not to mention that he couldn't water, even if he was a strong swimmer, he couldn't stop being dragged into the water by a body of iron armor, so he only had time to shout: "Save ......"

A large stream of river water poured into his big mouth with a clatter, and then sank like an iron lump, and his own soldiers couldn't even take care of themselves at this time, where was there time to save him, they were burned into the river one after another, and sank to the bottom of the river with him, and went to the underworld to meet their ancestor Wanyan Aguda comrade!

As soon as Yan A fell into the water, the Jin army completely lost its command, the fire on the bridge had been ignited, and it was empty after a while, the Jin soldiers on the bridge were either burned to death by the fire, or jumped into the water and drowned, only a small number of them had time to escape to both sides of the river, but the entire Jin army was cut into two sections by the river, and the Jin soldiers in the east of the river watched the Jin soldiers in the west of the river being slaughtered by the Song army, but they couldn't help at all.

The Jin soldiers in Hexi saw that the pontoon bridge was broken, and it was impossible to retreat to Hedong, and individual Jin generals saw that although there were Song army ambushes here, the number of ambushes was not too much, so they recovered a little from the panic and began to organize the Jin army in Hexi to resist Gao Huaiyuan and his party.

The two sides launched a battle on the embankment of Hexi, although Gao Huaiyuan seized the opportunity and killed and injured a lot of Jin soldiers, but on the whole the number of his soldiers was much smaller than that of Jin soldiers.

Once the Jin soldiers are a little bit more aware of the gods, they will no longer be able to kill as happily as they did at the beginning, fortunately, the Jin army does not have a unified command at this time, otherwise, as long as there is a counterattack, Gao Huaiyuan, these hundreds of villagers, I am afraid they will have to be explained here.

However, Gao Huaiyuan was not nervous, because he knew that Hu Zaixing would return with his troops immediately, so he waved his sword to fight with the Jin soldiers, and at the same time loudly ordered his subordinates to form a formation to fight against the Jin soldiers.

After a while, I only heard the sound of people shouting and neighing horses in the west, and Hu Zaixing immediately gathered his troops and horses and turned around after seeing the pontoon bridge on fire.

After Hu Zaixing led the army to arrive, the battle situation in Hexi completely fell to the side of the Song army, whether it was morale or strength, the Song army occupied an absolute advantage, it only took a short time or so of incense, a large number of Jin soldiers saw no hope of escaping, so they threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg to surrender.

Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Jin soldiers in front of him knelt down and surrendered, so he ordered his subordinates not to continue to cut and kill, in his eyes, although these people in front of him are Jin Army, but they are also people, and among these Jin soldiers, the vast majority of them are Han people forcibly recruited by the Jin State, originally born from the same root, as long as they surrender, it is enough, so he ordered his subordinates to collect and surrender the Jin soldiers, expel them together, and watch them up.

"High Command! The general has an order, and no troops will be left behind! Kill them all! When Gao Huaiyuan was arranging for his subordinates to gather and surrender troops, a personal soldier under Hu Zaixing's tent rode over and gave Gao Huaiyuan an order.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he was immediately shocked, and shouted to the pro-soldier who was Hu Zaixing: "No! They have already surrendered! Why kill them? ”

This pro-soldier didn't dare to scold Gao Huaiyuan, so he arched his hand on the horse and said: "The general said, leaving these troops will only be a scourge, we will soon cross the river to pursue the Jin army, we don't have time to care about them, just kill them and pull them down!" High conductor or hurry up! We're going to cross the river by bridge! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was anxious when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely not!" Since these golden soldiers have surrendered, we can't kill the prisoners, so I'll go to General Hu personally and tell him about it!" Zhou Hao, you show me these surrendered soldiers, and don't let them make trouble! I'll come when I go! ”

The pro-soldiers who gave the order saw that Gao Huaiyuan did not listen to the order, and was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything, and the surrounding Song troops all got orders at this time, so they began to kill those Jin soldiers who had laid down their arms, and the screams, wails, and begs for mercy suddenly resounded in Hexi, and one by one the soldiers were killed one after another on the river embankment by the Song officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers wielding big swords and spears.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't bear it in his heart, in his opinion, the two armies couldn't kill the enemy in front of the formation, but such a massacre of the surrender of troops is undoubtedly a kind of beastly outbreak, the feud between the Song and Jin countries is true, but the crime is not in these surrenders, not to mention that many of them were forced to join the army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty, even if they volunteered to be soldiers, it was just to ask for a bite to eat, not to mention that most of these people were still Han people like him, so slaughtering them was really a bit excessive.
