Pirate Song

Chapter 27 Consolation

There was no suspense about what happened next. The Jin soldiers who lost their command became a mess. When the Song army came, they couldn't even think of resisting. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, most of the Jin soldiers dropped their weapons.

Kneel on the ground and surrender to save your life.

Only a few die-hard Jin soldiers tried to gather together to resist and break out, but the Song army would not give them such a chance. Under the stranglehold of the soldiers, they were quickly killed.

This battle came to an end in less than two hours.

There were more than 4,000 Jin soldiers in this battle, but only the general and his less than 200 soldiers were able to escape. The rest were killed, more than 1,000 people, and the rest were all captured by the Song army.

Those under Fang Zhenzhai's wall accounted for more than half of the dead.

This battle was also recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty and was called the Great Victory of Qifang Town, which completely curbed the Jin army's offensive southward.

Gao Huaiyuan ordered people to clear away the earth and rocks blocking the gate of the town, opened the gate, welcomed Meng Zongzheng and his party into the town, and came forward to see Meng Zongzheng and other generals.

When Meng Zongzheng arrived at the town and saw Gao Huaiyuan standing in front of the town gate covered in blood, waiting for them from a distance, he took the initiative to dismount and walked towards Gao Huaiyuan.

Seeing that Meng Zongzheng had dismounted, the rest of the accompanying soldiers also dismounted and followed Meng Zongzheng on foot to the gate of the town. This action showed their respect for Gao Huaiyuan and was considered a very high courtesy.

Gao Huaiyuan bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Young general Gao Huaiyuan, I would like to welcome Meng Qian! You are wearing armor, please forgive me for not being able to salute!" He was not used to the ancient etiquette of kneeling back and forth, so he found it for himself.

An excuse to stand and talk.

Meng Zongzheng walked a few steps and came to Gao Huaiyuan. He held his arms with both hands and said with a smile: "Commander Gao, please don't be polite. If Commander Gao hadn't held back the Jin army here in this battle, we would never have achieved such success."

For a great victory, the high command should take the credit!"

Gao Huaiyuan naturally knew that he had made great achievements this time, but he had to be hypocritical and humble. In this way, Meng Zongzheng and others would feel good.

They were all those who led troops to fight, so they naturally knew the dangerous situation Gao Huaiyuan faced in this battle. If he was leading a group of regular troops, it would be nothing to block the attack of 4,000 Jin troops with 2,000 men.

, the difficulty is that the people he led this time were all a group of poorly trained rural warriors, and they were also a group of skirmishers composed of several rural soldiers. People who had never received any decent training achieved such a record, and everyone couldn't help but wonder.

He secretly held out his thumb and nodded in praise.

At this time, Hu Zaixing also ran over with his men on horseback. As soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he went up and slapped Gao Huaiyuan on the shoulder. He laughed and said: "Look! I have seen it a long time ago. This little guy

He is definitely not an ordinary person. This time he really lived up to our expectations and dragged the Jin army here! Meng Qian's plan is really powerful. The siege of Zaoyang can be solved now! Haha!" Gao Huaiyuan just had an old injury on his shoulder.

He was healed, but a new injury was added. He grimaced at the slap and shrank his shoulders, taking away the strength of his big slap.

As soon as Meng Zongzheng heard what Hu Zaixing said, he immediately winked at him and tried to stop him from speaking. However, Hu Zaixing was a rough man. He was one of the few generals who had come up from the ranks of soldiers. He was also a straight man, but he didn't understand it right away. Still

Laughing loudly, he patted Gao Huaiyuan on the shoulder and said, "It's a good thing you escorted us here this time. Otherwise, we might have been taken advantage of by the Jin soldiers. Meng Qianha has a favorable eye for you, so be careful."

If you can take on this important task, his ability to recognize people is much better than my old guard!"

Meng Zongzheng was a little stunned by this guy at this moment. He winked at Hu Zaixing repeatedly. Meng Gong next to him was even more anxious and sweating. Hu Zaixing then realized that he had talked too much, so he touched his nose awkwardly and laughed.

After a few moments, he quickly said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to talk! Haha!" After saying this, he quickly retreated behind Meng Zongzheng.

Gao Huaiyuan finally understood it. He had been a little suspicious about this matter. Why didn't he find Meng Zongzheng's army after he escorted the team over? He almost got into the Jin army. If he hadn't been more alert, he could have saved

Don't just rush into the arms of the Jin Army. This thing is a bit weird to begin with. It's not common sense to leave their large-scale transport team alone! I feel a little suspicious about this matter. I feel that this time I

He was used as a gun, but there is no evidence!

But after listening to Hu Zaixing's words, he no longer had to doubt that this time he was really being used as a super bait by Meng Zongzheng. It turned out that Meng Zongzheng had already known about the arrival of his supply camp, so he

My group treated them as earthworms for fishing, attracting the Jin soldiers from Zaoyang to bite the hook. If I were a cicada, the Jin army would be a mantis. Meng Zongzheng and the others acted like oriole this time, and finally killed them in one fell swoop.

He killed so many soldiers and horses of the Jin army.

Although this plan was sinister enough, Gao Huaiyuan became furious in his heart. Although these people were not regular soldiers, they were still living people with families and families! Meng Zongzheng was really disrespectful in doing this.

If we treat people like ourselves as human beings, are our lives so worthless?

If I hadn't been smarter and more ruthless, this time these two thousand village warriors would have all been accounted for here. After all, these people are all flesh and blood. Isn't it too much for them to do this?

?

After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan was filled with joy, as if he had been splashed with cold water in the winter. His heart was completely cold, his face suddenly darkened, and his hunched body gradually straightened up.

He sneered slightly, cupped his fists and said to Meng Zongzheng: "Mr. Meng is really a good strategist! Gao Mou admires it! But Gao Mou was lucky to live up to his fate and finally prevented the Jin army from succeeding and saved these supplies. Otherwise, I'm afraid the young general's

The head is already in danger!"

Meng Zongzheng and others immediately saw the change in Gao Huaiyuan's mood, but they did not blame him for the thorn in his words. After all, anyone would be angry if this kind of thing happened to them, and few people like to be treated like monkeys.

Gao Huaiyuan's reaction is completely normal. Otherwise, it would mean that Gao Huaiyuan's city is really unfathomable!

Meng Zongzheng glared at the embarrassed Hu Zaixing, then smiled and politely said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Commander Gao, don't be angry. It's not convenient to talk here. We'd better go into the town and talk!"

Gao Huaiyuan huffed and cupped his hands and replied: "You dare not, young general! Lord Meng, please come into the town!"

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan's angry look, Meng Zongzheng shook his head helplessly and led everyone into the town.

Gao Huaiyuan followed them, getting angrier the more he thought about it. When he entered the town, he pretended to be seriously injured and exhausted, and clasped his fists at Meng Zongzheng and others again and said: "My lords, the young general is injured, and he is very dizzy now.

Please forgive me for being rude, young general. I would like to step aside for a while and then report the situation of this battle to you adults. All the supplies are here, and the young general will send someone to hand them over to Master Meng immediately!"

Of course Meng Zongzheng knew that Gao Huaiyuan was showing off his temper, but looking at the bloodstains all over his body, he also knew that he had worked really hard these past two days, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything here, so he nodded and said: "Commander Gao's body for

Seriously, go down and bandage it first, treat the wound before it’s too late, and then order the medical officer to come quickly and treat the high commander!”

Gao Huaiyuan coldly rejected his kindness, turned around and left them, found a free room and went in, telling Jia Qi: "Go and sort out the list of supplies here and hand them over to the army."

, if anyone wants to see me, just tell me I’m seriously injured and don’t see anyone!”

Jiaqi naturally knew what Gao Huaiyuan was thinking, so he nodded and said, "I obey, little one!" Then he turned around and went down to make arrangements.

The more Gao Huaiyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He originally had great respect for Meng Zongzheng, but in this matter, he felt that what Meng Zongzheng did was really unreasonable. What he did was simply a waste of human life! The strategy was a good one.

But at least he should ventilate himself in advance and prepare himself, so as not to almost crash into the Jin Army's camp the night before yesterday. If he makes a slight mistake, then his plan will be like shooting a rock.

Not only was he unable to kill the Jin Army, but he also got so many supplies from the Jin Army in vain, which was tantamount to endangering the enemy!

As a result, he began to despise Meng Zongzheng. He felt that he was just a clever person, and at most he was a person with great ambition and talent. Letting him lead the troops in war was simply making fun of the lives of the officers and soldiers!

The reason why he was able to win this battle should not be the result of Meng Zongzheng's good planning, but a pure accident, which made him famous!

Gao Huaiyuan was so sulky that he was too lazy to take care of things anymore. After taking off his armor, he threw it on the ground and called Zhou Hao to clean his wounds.

Zhou Hao was the same as him. After learning about this incident, he felt that Meng Zongzheng's actions were really unethical. While treating Gao Huaiyuan's wounds, he said: "Boss has done everything he should do, and he deserves it."

The Song Dynasty, otherwise, we should go back to Daye to avoid being fooled here!"

Gao Huaiyuan was about to answer when suddenly the voice of his subordinate came from outside the door: "Sir, our commander-in-chief is seriously injured and is resting. It is inconvenient to receive guests at this time, so please come back!"

"Bold! I am a friend of your high command, how can you stop me from seeing him? Step aside, I must see him now!" A familiar voice from Gao Huaiyuan came in from outside.

Gao Huaiyuan knew as soon as he heard it that it was Meng Gong's voice. He was also angry with Meng Gong at the moment. If his father didn't send someone to inform him about such a big thing, he should have seen the danger in it.

! You should also send someone to deliver a message to yourself so that you can prepare in advance! But he didn’t do that this time. It’s really not interesting!

So he didn't say anything, quickly lay down on the bed, and said to Zhou Hao: "Go and tell Meng Gong that I have lost too much blood, fainted, and am being treated. Ask him to come back tomorrow! I want to take a rest!"

Zhou Hao put down the medicine in his hand and raised his leg to walk out. However, Meng Gong pushed away the soldier who was blocking him and rushed in. The soldier followed him nervously.

He ran in behind him, and after seeing Gao Huaiyuan and Zhou Hao, he quickly knelt down and said, "Commander Gao! The younger one stopped this adult, but this adult didn't listen to the younger one at all and just broke in.

Come in, please forgive me..."

Before Gao Huaiyuan could lie down, Meng Gong barged in. He was a little embarrassed and waved his hand: "Get out! Since Brother Meng has come in, forget it!" The soldier under his command nodded quickly and backed up.

Withdrew.

As he spoke, he pretended to be seriously injured and struggled to sit up with Zhou Hao's help. Meng Gong looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a smile on his face and said, "Don't pretend to be like me! You are as strong as a bull."

Normally, what does this little injury mean?"

Gao Huaiyuan pretended not to look good in front of him, so he waved his hand to let Zhou Hao go out first, then choked Meng Gong with a wry smile and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from Brother Meng! Then why don't Brother Meng tell Mr. Meng,

The villain is being disrespectful to him, why don't you ask Lord Meng to punish me? Anyway, the lives of us country heroes are worse than dogs, why bother Brother Meng to come here? I really can't thank Gao enough.

!Hmph!”

When Meng Gong listened to Gao Huaiyuan's words, how could he not hear his complaints? Seeing him sitting on the bed, he didn't even move his buttocks, he was giving himself such a blow like a cannon, and he didn't even give up his seat.

Knowing that Gao Huaiyuan was very angry this time, he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't have the same experience as Gao Huaiyuan, so he pulled up a bench and sat across from Gao Huaiyuan.

"Brother Gao! You have such a bad temper! I know you are angry and think that what my father did is too much! Originally, my father wanted to come here in person, but after this battle, there are too many things to come.

, I stopped my father and ran over! Do you want to hear my explanation?" Meng Gong said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Don't dare! Mr. Meng's command is very good, there is no need to explain to us who are worse than dogs! Brother Meng said this, but it is too high to look down on!" Gao Huaiyuan still said angrily, without any dignity at all.

Not for Meng Gong. After all, he is still only fourteen years old. Although he is taller and taller, he is still affected by the temper of a child from time to time, and now he is a little temperamental.

"Haha! You are so unreasonable! You and I have been brothers for so long, but you don't even have any face for Brother Yu! You are so ruthless! You can only kill someone with a nod, even if my father and I are at fault.

, you should always listen to Brother Yu’s excuse before convicting us!” Meng Gong said with a wry smile and shook his head.

After Gao Huaiyuan finished speaking, he felt that he had gone too far, so he suppressed his anger a little and said: "In that case, let me listen to Brother Meng's explanation! I am angry, even if we are just Xiangyong, we are all human beings.

, Master Meng, by doing this, doesn’t he treat us country warriors as human beings? If we fail to withstand the Jin army this time, wouldn’t Master Meng lose the rice this time?" As he said,

As he spoke, Gao Huaiyuan became angry again!

"Brother Gao, it seems that your temper is going to change in the future. If you get involved in official circles, with your temper, I'm afraid it won't take long for someone to trip you up and make your head move."

Forget it! Forget it, I am not the same as you, just listen to me!

The plan this time was indeed made by my father and I. Some time ago, we had many battles with the Jin army that besieged Zaoyang. The Jin army was so powerful that we fought several times and failed to break the siege of Zaoyang!

We retreated in order to advance, trying to lure the Jin Army to divide their forces to attack us, but the Jin Army was too cunning to be fooled. In a duel between the two armies, we were weaker than the Jin Army. I am afraid that if we failed, not only would we not be able to break the siege of Zaoyang, but we would also be unable to break the siege of Zaoyang.

It will also open the doors of Xiangyang!

At this time, we thought of your heavy supply army. The Jin soldiers' attack on Zaoyang has been taking a long time. They are relatively short of supplies and you are very attractive to them, so we decided on this plan!

Reveal this news to Jin Jun!

The Jin army was really fooled and sent troops and horses to attack our camp in Xiaoyizhuang two days ago. My father showed fear of war and led his troops to withdraw. Before leaving, he sent a messenger to inform you on the way.

Your heavy supply army settled in Qifang Town and led the Jin army to attack Qifang Town..."

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he muttered: "I didn't see any messenger!"

Meng Gong continued: "Brother Gao, please be patient. It's not too late to listen to what Brother Yu has to say! The key to the whole plan is in this place. Our plan is to use you as bait to lure the Jin Army to attack Qiqi.

Fangzhen, then my father gathered the troops of General Hu and General Chen to ambush the surrounding area and ate up the Jin army in one bite!

But unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, the messenger we sent failed to find you as instructed. I can guarantee this with my head, and indeed sent an messenger to inform you! We think that although this method is risky, but with your ability,

With so many rural soldiers, he should be able to block the attack of the Jin soldiers in Qifang Town!

So after making arrangements, we temporarily retreated to Dayao Village in the south and became invisible! But the trouble came here. In Dayao Village, we happened to encounter a Jin army that was looting food, and something happened.

A fierce battle delayed some time, and General Hu was in the north. Before receiving our news, he also led troops to attack the Jin Army's food road. He received the news one day late, which made things worse!

After a few attempts, things didn't go as planned, a lot of things went wrong, and you almost ran into the Jin Army. This is indeed our oversight!

When we rushed to Xiaoyizhuang again, we met a few people and realized that you had arrived at Xiaoyizhuang. Fortunately, you were extremely alert and led your army to retreat to Qifang Town immediately. At this time,

The Jin Army has found out where you are going and has begun the siege of Qifang Town!..."

Vote! I want a vote! Red ticket! Brothers, give it a thumbs up!)dd
