Pirate Song

At night, torches were lit all over the town. A crossbow was used to wrap some broken guns with oilcloth. After lighting them, they shot them out of the town. A circle of torches was formed outside the town, illuminating the outside of the town to prevent the Jin soldiers from taking advantage of the night.

A raid on a small town.

After making these arrangements, a high pole was erected in the center of the town, and a bloody head was raised. The news spread to everyone's ears.

"This thief is the head of Zhou Xianwei, the brave leader of Fanling County and Xiangxiang who escaped from the battle. This is the result of being greedy for life and fearing death and not respecting orders. I hope you will take this as a warning!" These are the original words passed down by Gao Huaiyuan,

Everyone in the town looked at this hanging head with a feeling of sadness in their hearts.

Gao Huaiyuan dragged his injured leg and walked around the town, checking the status of the guards everywhere, and went to express his condolences to the village warriors who were injured in the battle, and then returned to the wall of the village and sat down.

Even he himself didn't know when this leg was stabbed by the Jin soldiers. The battle in the evening was chaotic, and he himself remained highly nervous. He didn't know how many Jin soldiers had attacked the wall, so that

He was so nervous that he didn't even feel anything after being hit. Only then did he feel the sharp pain coming from the wound. He found a clean piece of cloth and bandaged the wound. It was still painful now.

sharp.

He boasted that his kung fu was quite good, but when he actually arrived on the battlefield, he was too busy among the chaos. There were shouts of killing and weapons being waved everywhere. Although he relied on his instinctive reaction, he succeeded time and time again.

Jin Bing escaped with the weapon in his hand, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be injured at all. He still suffered a few arrows and was stabbed in the leg!

He shouldn't have been injured in the first place, but he just couldn't change his tendency to be impulsive. He didn't dare to see any danger, so he would immediately rush over and stand at the front to fight the golden soldiers. Otherwise, he would just stay calm.

In his command position, he may not be able to bear any injuries.

But in other words, it was precisely because of his fearless style that he inspired the morale of his gang and saved this small Qifang Town. Otherwise, at this moment,

He might not be injured, but he might have been chopped into pieces by the swarming golden soldiers!

Jiaqi brought him a bowl of rice with a few pieces of dark pickles on top, and a bowl of water. Gao Huaiyuan saw that everyone around him was starting to eat, so he took it over politely.

, he ate it with big mouthfuls. This day was really tough. I thought that the last battle at Laohukou was brutal enough, but this time the battle in Qifang Town was not weaker than that battle. Fortunately, this time he

With a lot of men under his command, he was able to withstand the fierce attack of the Jin army, but the price he paid in one day made him really scared.

He was thinking about it while eating, and suddenly he bit into a piece of fragrant meat. After chewing it twice, he found out that it was a piece of chicken. So after pulling it a few times, he found that there were several pieces of cooked chicken buried under his bowl of rice. He immediately

Then he knew that this was specially prepared for him by the cooks, and seeing that Huang Yan was also devouring his meal at the moment, he knew that the cooks must have specially prepared extra meals for these generals. He was moved in his heart and gulped down the food.

He shoveled the food into his mouth, picked up the water bowl and drank heavily, then dropped the rice bowl and leaned on a bed.

He thought to himself that he didn't know whether the men sent out in the morning had escaped the pursuit of the Jin army and whether they had found Meng Zongzheng's army. If they could have been found, they would have been informed of the situation here by now.

Condition.

Now he is tightly surrounded by Jin soldiers in Qifang Town. The only thing he can hope for is that Meng Zongzheng or Hu Zaixing will send reinforcements to relieve the siege after they know his situation!

After nightfall, he divided the remaining village warriors in the town into three groups and took turns to watch the night. Otherwise, they had not slept for two days and one night. If they stayed up all night again, I am afraid that no one would have the strength to fight after dawn.

, and he, Huang Yan, and Zhou Hao also brought a group of people to take turns keeping watch at night to prevent the Jin army from sneaking attacks at night.

Most of the people immediately lay down on the ground after eating the war meal. They didn't care if there was still blood on the ground and snored. Only the people on duty kept patrolling back and forth on the wall.

At this time, the Jin army also set up camp outside the town, with bonfires flickering in the distance.

After the two armies fought for a day, the Jin army was also very tired. In addition to fatigue, the morale of the Jin army was also very low. All the attacks launched several times that day were beaten back by the Song people, but they

The casualties were very heavy, and there was no bargain at all. Not only the general of the Jin army could not accept this result, not even the soldiers and generals below him could accept it.

After counting the losses, the Jin army general had a strong urge to vomit blood on the spot. Against such a heavy transport team composed of Song people and Xiangyong, he lost more than a thousand people in one day, but he was stunned to even lose such a small person.

Even the small Qifang Town could not be captured. I am afraid no one would believe this kind of thing if he told it, but this kind of thing happened to him. If he just goes back like this, I am afraid that he will be like Uburu last time.

Same, I will be beaten by Yan Saibu’s military stick!

However, after a day of fierce fighting, all his troops were engaged in battle. They were already very exhausted. If they were allowed to continue attacking the city overnight, the result would probably not be much better. The tenacity of the rural troops in this baggage team was very high.

It was beyond his cognitive scope. Could this be a trap set by the Song people? But judging from today's situation, it seems a bit different. This rural army was not very strong in combat at the beginning, and it was also

It was a bit confusing, but later on, the performance became more outstanding. It seems that the key to the reason why this rural soldier performed so well is the opponent's general!

"Come here, do you know who the general is leading the troops of our opponent today?" He called several of his lieutenants over and asked them.

The lieutenants under him, like him, arrived suddenly and did not know who the leader of this rural army was, so they shook their heads to express their confusion.

"Alas! I have to admit that today we have met our opponent. It is embarrassing to ask me to wait in such a small Qifang Town. You go down and let the troops have a good night's rest tonight. We will start the battle early tomorrow morning. We must

Capture this Qifang Town, otherwise, we won’t be able to explain to the commander when we go back!” Jin Army Chief Wanyan Qiang helplessly waved his hand for these people to go down to rest, looking at Qifang Town in the distance, feeling greatly in his heart

He sighed.

Looking at the torches around Qifang Town, he suddenly felt helpless. Even with such tight defenses at night, he didn't know if he could really capture Qifang Town at dawn!

The weather has been very good these two days. The crescent moon in the sky is slightly shining with bright moonlight. The stars in the sky decorate the night sky very beautifully. However, no one expected that there are three Song armies, with all their men and horses in their mouths, in the dark of night.

Under cover, they quietly approached from three directions, forming a situation surrounding Qifang Town several miles away.

"Reporting to Meng Qian's jurisdiction, Qifang Town has not yet fallen to the hands of the Jin Army. The Jin Army has already set up camp outside Qifang Town. We are now only three miles away from them, and Jin Army scouts have begun to appear in front!

"A Song Army scout quickly ran in front of a war horse, knelt down on one knee and said to the man on the horse.

Meng Zongzheng nodded and said: "Send an order to the army to stop! Don't go forward any further!"

So thousands of Song troops immediately stopped and hid themselves in a forest. At this time, a small group of Jin Army scouts just passed in front of them, circled around, and left again.

"Gong'er, your little friend is really a talented general. You actually led a group of local warriors to withstand the fierce attack of thousands of Jin soldiers for a day! Even my father was deeply surprised!" Meng Zongzheng looked at the Jin soldiers.

After the scout had left, he said to Meng Gong, who was following him in armor.

"Father, my son has already said that although Gao Huaiyuan is not very old, his ability to control troops is definitely not as good as my son's. Not long ago, this son encountered a Jin army trying to sneak across the Han River in the mountains south of Huanglong Town.

, with a strength of 500 troops to resist the Jin army of 5,000, for two full days, the Jin army was unable to enter the tiger's mouth, and suffered heavy losses. Naturally, there will be no loss with him here this time! It's just that we do this

, once he finds out, it will chill his heart!" Meng Gong said in a low voice.

"Gong'er, what you said is wrong! You said it yourself, nothing will happen if he is here, and we didn't intend to do this this time. Things went wrong, and the people sent by my father just didn't meet them, which led to this incident.

We almost failed in our success! Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan was quite alert and returned to Qifang Town in time. Otherwise, we would have been self-defeating this time! Using them as bait this time was a last resort.

The thing is, if it weren't for their baggage team, how could we have mobilized the Jin army from Zaoyang?

The key reason why my father thought of this bad move is because this son is leading the baggage team this time. I have felt that this son is very alert and courageous in the past few times. Since you said he has the ability, it is just right now.

Let this kid train a lot before he can become a great weapon in the future! If he can't even defend Qifang Town with so many local warriors, then don't say that he has any abilities!

As for this matter, don't talk about it. If he knows about this matter, it is his father's sole responsibility. I will personally make amends to him! You go and let everyone have a rest. Wait until the Jin army attacks the city again at dawn.

The time is when we take action, be careful not to expose our whereabouts!"

Meng Gong sighed slightly, then bowed and accepted the order, turned around and went down to make arrangements! The other two Song armies, each led by Hu Zaixing and Chen Xiang, arrived at the reserved position and formed an encirclement from three sides, encircling the entire

The Qifang Town area is controlled by it.

The two armies rested well all night. At dawn, both armies got up early and had war meals. The sound of war drums rumbled over Qifang Town again.

Gao Huaiyuan sighed slightly, thinking about it again. He stood up and stood on the wall of the stronghold with his sword in hand, looking towards Jin Jun.

This time Jin Jiang really spent a lot of money. In order to strengthen his attack power, he ordered the craftsmen with the army to build some throwing carts again overnight, and also put some cowhide tents around the throwing cart frame to protect the operator from arrows.

And slowly moved outside the city, trying to continue using this kind of thing to blow down the wall of Qifang Town.

Gao Huaihuai saw this situation and no longer waited for them to set up the throwing cart in place, he immediately ordered the crossbow to start aiming at them and shoot. Immediately, a heart-shaking buzz of the crossbow firing was heard on the wall of the village.

Some local warriors armed with crossbows also began to hunt the Jin troops who were moving and throwing carts. The two sides started an undeclared war, kicking off a new day of offense and defense.

In order to enhance the strength of the attack, the Jin Army general even sent cavalry to participate in the attack. Teams of Jin Army cavalry galloped near the wall, suppressing the warriors on the wall by riding and shooting.

As soon as the battle started, the two sides fought fiercely, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.

Gao Huaiyuan shot down a centurion of the Jin Army's cavalry with an arrow, causing the centurion to be knocked off his horse. He was then swept in by the horse behind him and was immediately trampled into a pile of flesh and blood.

Today's Jin Army is no longer as brave as it used to be. Their cavalry's current mounted shooting is simply rubbish. It is not at the same level as the Jin Army's vanguard they encountered last time. The arrows they shoot are weak and weak.

Said, the accuracy is even scarier. It seems that the random arrows taking off are very scary. There are very few arrows that can actually land on the wall. They either hit the wall or go directly over the wall.

It fell into the city and had no effect at all. It just scared the village warriors on the wall at first, and then they no longer took them seriously!

After being pampered for a long time, their army has already degraded to a level similar to that of the Song people. If their war horses were not relatively abundant, they might not be far away from pure infantry now.

General Jin drove groups of soldiers who had been prepared overnight onto the battlefield again. This battle was already related to his face and promotion. He spent a lot of money to seize Qifang Town and use the large amount of supplies here to make up for it.

He was so humiliated that his mind was a little hot, and he focused all his attention on Qifang Town.

After the experience of the first day, when the battle started today, the village warriors were no longer as panicked as they were yesterday. They followed their respective leaders and fought the battle in a decent manner. In addition, there were Zhou Xianwei and other timid people.

Wherever his head is hanging, no one dares to be afraid of fighting anymore, so Gao Huaiyuan no longer has to worry about this matter, but uses the city defense theories he has learned before in this battle one by one, which is a great training

His ability to command this kind of defensive battle enabled him to accumulate a lot of experience.

When the Jin army braved fierce arrows and attacked the base of the village wall again, Gao Huaiyuan was about to grab a sword and go into battle himself, go up and continue to lead the troops to fight, when Jia Qi suddenly ran over to him and pointed to a forest in the distance and shouted

: "Master, look! Another troop is coming over there!"

Gao Huaiyuan was shocked. This group of Jin soldiers had already put a lot of pressure on him. If another group of Jin soldiers came to reinforce him, wouldn't it be a big deal? So he hurriedly looked at it, and when he saw

Suddenly, a red flag with a black border was displayed in the center of the army. When the word "戉" was written in the middle, Gao Huaiyuan became ecstatic.

"Haha! It's our reinforcements that are coming! Those are the troops and horses commanded by Hu Zaixing. Brothers, please work harder! Show off our prestige!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately confirmed that these troops and horses are definitely Hu Zaixing's troops and horses.

What else did they have to worry about? So they shouted loudly to the surrounding village heroes.

At this time, all the village warriors also saw the soldiers and horses appearing in the distance. After hearing that they were one of their own, their morale was immediately boosted and they started dancing excitedly. They no longer felt any fear at all, and everyone felt sympathetic.

He yelled like a man, and beat the Jin soldiers violently.

At this time, the Jin soldiers also discovered the Song army appearing behind them, and their morale immediately became chaotic. The generals of the Jin army who were watching the enemy's formation saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly called for gold to withdraw their troops, trying to form a formation immediately to fight against this army.

The Song Army's reinforcements were a good idea, but there was always a huge gap between ideals and reality. How could those soldiers and horses who were mixed together to attack the city be withdrawn just because they were withdrawn?

It was a good thing to ring gold like this. When the Jin soldiers saw the Song army appearing behind them, their morale was immediately shaken. They all ran towards the back, while the crossbows of the country warriors on the wall chased their butts and fired fiercely.

The unformed Jin Army killed many more from behind, and the Jin Army was now in complete chaos.

At this time, there were cheers from both directions. It turned out that a Song army appeared on each side of Qifang Town. After more than ten thousand Song troops appeared, they immediately surrounded them.

Like an iron bucket, the officers and soldiers of the Song Army were ready to beat a drowned dog, and they charged towards the chaotic Jin army with high morale.

The leader of the Jin Army was confused at this time. He did not expect that so many Song troops would suddenly appear and surround him. So he quickly wanted to gather his troops and break out, but in the morning he would have enough troops to fight.

They were all involved in the siege, and they didn't even have a decent reserve team on hand. How could we talk about gathering for a breakout now? He secretly shouted, it's over!

After seeing that the situation was not good, he also knew that by the time he gathered his troops again and tried to escape, it would probably be too late, so this guy made a decisive move and simply left his men behind, taking only his two hundred relatives with him.

He immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the east, where the Song army had not yet formed an encirclement. As a result, he jumped out of the encirclement and fled towards Zaoyang.

And as he fled, the entire Jin army completely lost its command and became a swarm of wasps that had their hives knocked out, bumping into each other.
