Chapter 255: A fly in the ointment
As soon as Gao Huaiyuan arrived outside the West Gate, he raised his eyes and glanced around, then rode his horse to Luo Zhuo's banner of the Chinese army and saw Luo Zhuo who was in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Zhuo has never encountered such a situation, the two armies suddenly came out of the war so many ordinary people caught between the two armies, although he was in accordance with Gao Huaiyuan's orders, he was dispatching troops to try to control the situation, but he seemed a little overwhelmed, and even a little incoherent in anger, while giving orders, he scolded Liu Qingfu for being cunning, and actually did such a thing, it was really a villain.
General Luo! Don't panic, quickly send someone to shout to the people, let the people out of the city not panic, immediately squat on the spot, to avoid unnecessary injury! Don't fall for the thieves' tricks! As soon as Gao Huaiyuan saw Luo Zhuo, he immediately shouted loudly.
As soon as Luo Zhuo saw Gao Huaiyuan personally coming to supervise the formation, he calmed down a little, hurriedly greeted Gao Huaiyuan, and ordered his own soldiers to pass the order according to his words.
Looking at the chaotic scene near the city gate, the people who were extremely frightened only wanted to get out of this land of right and wrong quickly, as soon as they got out of the city, they were like headless flies, scurrying around, adults shouted, children cried, and the chaos was not good, for a while it was really a little impossible to control them, although the Song army intercepted them everywhere and ordered them to sit down on the spot immediately and not run around, but it was not easy to control these ordinary people for a while, some people were still fleeing in a panic, and many people were scattered by the crowd, They are screaming and squeezing into the crowd, trying to find their lost relatives.
What's even more infuriating is that among the civilian crowd, some crossbow arrows will be shot from time to time, shooting and killing the Song officers and soldiers who are close to the crowd, so that many officers and soldiers have suffered a secret loss, and the angry Song officers and soldiers screamed, and their emotions were difficult to control, and some people saw their brothers fall under the dark arrows, and they lost their minds for a while, and slashed at the chaotic people in front of them, which caused greater panic.
When Gao Huaiyuan saw such a scene, he immediately became angry and shouted to Luo Zhuo: General Luo, please immediately send a supervising team, no matter who is, even if they are attacked, they must not kill the people indiscriminately, and if they dare to kill so indiscriminately, I will cut them down with my own hands!
Luo Zhuo's forehead was a little sweaty, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent the supervising team out to suppress those out-of-control generals everywhere, Gao Huaiyuan saw that the situation was uncontrollable, and on impulse, he forgot that he was now the commander of the army, so Luo Zhuo took command, and he rushed to the messy field with his own guards.
Handsome! Now that you are the lord of an army, how can you put yourself in danger! There are still thieves among these chaotic people, if you make any mistakes, we will be to blame! Li Ruohu hurriedly spoke to Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: Okay! But some young people, what can I do? After saying that, he shouted loudly to a large group of ordinary people who were running around in front of him: Wait for you, sit down on the spot quickly, don't disrupt our army array, we are the army of the Great Song Dynasty, we can ensure that your life is worry-free, give me a quick stop, sit down on the spot!
When these rebels saw that a brightly armored cavalry appeared in front of them, led by an obvious general, who did not hold a knife in his hand at them, but ordered them to sit down, and ensure their safety, they were a little relieved in panic, so they stopped their steps.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: Don't listen to this guy, you all saw it just now, where are they and what kind of officers and soldiers, they are almost like bandits, they have already killed a lot of ordinary people, let's run!
Gao Huaiyuan's eyes were like torches, and at a glance he saw the guy shouting in the crowd, this guy had a horizontal face, although he was wearing civilian clothes, but from his appearance and expression, it could be seen that this guy must be a thief who was mixed in the crowd to create chaos, so he shouted and said: Bold maniac, you dare to bewitch the public, I think you must be a thief and a traitor, don't you let me come out and be arrested?
As soon as his voice fell, two cold arrows suddenly flew out of the crowd, and some people actually took advantage of this chaotic scene to attack Gao Huaiyuan, trying to assassinate Gao Huaiyuan with cold arrows, although they didn't know what Gao Huaiyuan was doing, but just from Gao Huaiyuan's armor and the embroidered gold cloak behind him, it could be seen that Gao Huaiyuan's status must be very high, and he must be the main general in the Song army, so several people were eyeing Gao Huaiyuan, and almost at the same time, they used a hidden crossbow to release an arrow at Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan was actually very careful, as soon as someone in the crowd raised his bow and crossbow, he immediately found out of the corner of his eye, although the enemy shot quickly, but his reaction speed was really not slow, he leaned on the back of the horse and came to an iron plate bridge, lying on the horse's back, and immediately dodged the two cold arrows that shot at him.
Li Ruohu and the other guards were suddenly shocked, and they pounced on each other with an exclamation: Be careful!
Gao Huaiyuan's identity was exposed all of a sudden, he just stood up on horseback and sat up, and there were three thieves in the crowd staring at him, and at the same time raised their hands to attack him, this time the thieves hiding in the crowd did not use bows and crossbows, which was too conspicuous, but several people shot at the same time, and threw the weapons in their hands to Gao Huaiyuan, some people threw out steel knives, some people threw out small iron thistle bones, and some people threw out short swords, in short, all the thieves targeted Gao Huaiyuan, trying to capture the thief and capture the king, Even if they can't kill Gao Huaiyuan, they will hurt him, in that case, the Song army will definitely be in chaos, and maybe they will even be angry with these ordinary people and wantonly slash and kill these ordinary people, in this case, they will have an opportunity.
As soon as Gao Huaiyuan sat up, he split his face and flew a few weapons, so that he was a little too busy to work, riding a horse is not comparable to stepping down, the degree of flexibility is limited, and the space for maneuver is also limited, all of a sudden Gao Huaiyuan is really a little dangerous, dodging a knife, after a tribulus terrestris bone, seeing a short sword coming straight to his chest, he is a little too late to dodge at this time, and it is a little late to draw the knife to block.
At this time, a Qingfeng sword was handed over to his side, and a sword knocked the short sword that flew towards Gao Huaiyuan out, and then a thin figure jumped into the crowd, almost stepping on the head of the crowd and running out, after the blue light flashed a few times, Qiu Tong stepped on the head and jumped out, and several thieves in the crowd who were attacking Gao Huaiyuan even covered their necks that were spurting blood, and fell to the ground with convulsions and convulsions.
Sit them all down, and if you don't sit down, you'll be a collaborator! Kill them all! Qiu Tong stood on his horse, pointed the Qingfeng Sword in his hand at these chaotic people, and scolded loudly.
Her voice was very sharp and penetrating, and this group of people immediately understood what was going on, knowing that there was Li Quan's chaotic army among them, and someone wanted to assassinate the general of the Song army just now, but now he was killed by others, so for fear of being misunderstood as a thief, a large group of people sat down, leaving only a guy who was thinking about a short axe standing stupidly in the crowd, quite a bit of a standing out from the crowd.
As soon as this guy saw that his body was exposed, he wanted to copy the guy to resist, but Li Ruohu immediately took out a hard bow on horseback, and shot an arrow like lightning, hitting this guy in the chest, and the eagle arrow penetrated his back, and he fell down with this guy on his back.
Stupid guy, I can't handle such a trivial matter, and I'm embarrassed to blow it! Qiu Tong really didn't miss any opportunity to ridicule Gao Huaiyuan, and after making a move, he came to Gao Huaiyuan's side and whispered triumphantly.
Gao Huaiyuan didn't hear it, anyway, he was used to it, Qiu Tong came during this time, he did okay, carefully hid his identity, after all, he saved him once, he should let her!
Under the pressure of many Song troops, these people who were driven out of the city finally gradually settled down, squatted or sat on the ground according to the requirements of the Song army, and began to leave under the guidance of the Song army, Yuguan began to leave, so that the chaos in the west of the city was over, and then listened to the sound of earth-shattering shouting and killing in the city at this time, Gao Huaiyuan listened to it, and knew that the south gate had been broken by Hua Yue's army, and now the two armies had begun to start a street battle in the city.
After a short time, he saw the chaotic Li Quan's rout fleeing from the city gate, Luo Zhuo immediately ordered his soldiers to immediately go forward to block the way of these routed troops, and the rout army dropped their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and became a prisoner of the Song army.
The seven-day siege of Baoying County also ended with the complete victory of the Song army, and a large number of Song troops entered the city to recover Baoying County and return it to the jurisdiction of the Song court.
After this battle, the city wall of Baoying County became dilapidated, and almost all the residents of the city were expelled from the county seat by the thief army.
But this is not something that Gao Huaiyuan needs to manage, soon after the war, there will be a new Baoying County magistrate to come here to take office, and the aftermath is the business of these local officials, no matter where, as long as it is not resolved peacefully, the final war will destroy the local economy is very huge, and it is probably a long way to go to recover, but Gao Huaiyuan doesn't have to worry about this matter, the DPRK has its own Zhen Dexiu, Zheng Qingzhi and Ji Xiancheng, and these people will choose excellent officials to deal with here.
It's just that the result of this battle made Gao Huaiyuan a little dissatisfied, the city defender thief army of 12,000 people, nearly 2,000 casualties in this battle, captured more than 7,000 people of Li Quanjun, and more than 2,000 people finally mixed into the people to escape, and a few escaped from the north gate when the city was broken, although most of them were captured by the Guardian Saint Army and Gao Huaiyuan's guerrilla army, but in the end the thief leader Liu Qingfu was able to escape, and I don't know whether this guy escaped from the people or how he escaped, in short, when the prisoners of war were finally cleaned up, But Liu Qingfu himself was not found, and even his own soldiers did not know his whereabouts, but when interrogating some of the leaders of the captives, Gao Huaiyuan got a message that Liu Qingfu was likely to flee in the direction of Yancheng, which also made this battle a little less perfect.
