Chapter Thirty-eight: Defeat

After hearing this, Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Well done, now we don't have to worry. We don't have to go to Lishan Town with Vice General Shen for this battle. He has already ordered us to serve as his rear guard and he will lead the troops to raid." Lishan Town, as long as we hold on to this ditch, we can cover their retreat!"

Everyone felt a lot more relieved after hearing this. After all, this raid on Lishan Town would involve taking a lot of risks. If possible, it would be better not to go!

Gao Huaiyuan immediately found Shen Ning who was preparing, and explained it to him with this temporary sketch. After hearing this, Shen Ning was secretly happy. This time he heard that there were two thousand gold soldiers stationed in Lishan Town. , he gave up a little bit, but he was already riding a tiger. The attack on Lishan Town was something he proposed. Now that he was asked to withdraw his troops, he felt that it was really hard to save his face, so he could only grit his teeth and persist. Anyway, they were attacking suddenly. , and instead of capturing Lishan Town, as long as the Jin army can burn the grain and grass stored in Lishan Town, it will be considered a success, so he still thinks that it may not necessarily fail. Now Gao Huaiyuan has found a safer retreat for him, but It was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded and praised Gao Huaiyuan a few words.

In order to be fully prepared, Shen Ning followed Huang Yan to the south of Lishan Town, specifically checked the terrain, selected a section of the river with the shallowest water as the location for the cross-river raid, and checked the retreat route. Then he turned back to the army and began to order his subordinates to prepare.

After looking at the terrain here, Du Hu felt his scalp was a little numb. At first, he was only planning on Gao Huaiyuan, but he didn't expect that the terrain of Lishan Town was so easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now let him go there with Shen Ning, a guy who is eager for quick success. He began to be afraid of the surprise attack on Lishan Town. He might have a narrow escape this time. If he had known that Lishan Town was so difficult to fight, he would never have encouraged a lunatic like Shen Ning to attack here. But now It's like shooting yourself in the foot, which is really hard!

Gao Huaiyuan didn't care what Shen Ning and Du Hu were thinking at the moment! After making an agreement with Shen Ning, he immediately led his soldiers to bypass a mountain col and reached the ravine selected as a retreat in advance. among.

When he arrived here, Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he saw the terrain. The mouth of this ravine was small and big. Going inside, there was a dense mountain forest. There was only one path leading into the mountain. Moreover, the walls on both sides of the mountain pass were steep. This mountain pass leads into the mountains, and there is no way to enter this ravine from other places. Not only is it a good retreat, but it is also a good place for an ambush.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately changed his mind and dispersed his men to work. He built simple fortifications on both sides of the mountain pass, laid out some enemy defenses at the mountain pass, and dug several traps. As long as the Jin army dared to pursue them here, If so, then he would have the confidence to give the Jin Army a hard blow here.

Looking at the waist-deep weeds everywhere in the valley, Jia Qi suddenly had a plan in mind. He whispered to Gao Huaiyuan for a while, and Gao Huaiyuan immediately looked happy and agreed repeatedly.

After it got dark, Gao Huaiyuan led a hundred archers to find Shen Ning again. At this time, Shen Ning had also led his subordinates to prepare. Each of these Song troops went into battle lightly and packed tinder in bamboo tubes. Okay, I collected some more rockets and distributed them to the archers in the army.

After seeing Gao Huaiyuan bringing people over, Shen Ning immediately said: "Commander Gao arrived just in time. We will start taking action in a while. I hope Commander Gao will help us withdraw as soon as possible after seeing the fire in Lishan Town." , thank you!" At this moment, Shen Ning asked Gao Huaiyuan for help, and his attitude became much better. After all, he was not sure now, so he could only hope that Jin Jun would be careless tonight and let him succeed, otherwise , he can only hope that Gao Huaiyuan can help him at the critical moment. Now he really regrets that he didn't listen to Gao Huaiyuan's opinion. It would be safer to go to Gaojiagang, but he is also a man, although he has a big heart. He is not very broad, but he is still a fierce general. Even now, he still insists on raiding the Jin camp.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed, and took people to accompany him to sneak into the selected section of the river in the dark. Shen Ning took his soldiers, gritted his teeth and endured the biting cold, and slowly descended into the river. I passed by the flowing water and headed towards the lit-up Lishan Town.

Gao Huaiyuan led his men to stare at Lishan Town across the river in the dark, ready to respond to Shen Ning at any time. To be honest, Shen Ning's move was a bit like the actions of later generations of special forces, and it was also ideologically regarded as a direct response to Shen Ning's actions. Gao Huaiyuan admired him for this, but the reason why he disagreed with Shen Ning's taking such action was because although the idea was good, the target selection was not quite right. First of all, from his own perspective, the soldier general They have not received similar training, and it is difficult to achieve unity of action at night. A slight mistake may alert the Jin soldiers and cause disaster. In addition, during this period, they have repeatedly attacked the Jin army, and the Jin army will be alert, like In such an important place, as long as Jin Jun is not a fool, he will be more careful, so he is not optimistic about Shen Ning's action.

If this matter was left to him, he would prepare a few days in advance and train his people before taking action. In that case, it would be more secure and increase the chance of success, but obviously Shen Ning couldn't listen. If you enter him, you have no experience in this area. If you rush in like this, God knows what will happen.

The cold river water was flowing. Du Hu felt regretful and wanted to slap himself. If he had known that he would suffer such a punishment, he might as well have given Shen Ning some advice and sent Gao Huaiyuan and his fellow villagers to do this. It was more comfortable and safer to stay at the rear on the south bank of the river. It was better now. Others were standing on the dry ground watching the excitement, but I had to follow Shen Ning through the damn cold water. It was only mid-February, and although the river was not frozen, it was cold. It was biting to the bone, and many Song soldiers were shivering with cold and couldn't help but want to moan after being exposed to the cold water.

Fortunately, everyone knew where this place was and didn't dare to scream. Otherwise, they would have screamed from the cold! Just like that, Shen Ning and his five hundred soldiers gradually disappeared into the darkness, slowly flowing through it. After crossing this small river, we landed on the other side and cautiously moved toward the Chujin Camp outside the brightly lit Lishan Town.

Five hundred people doesn't sound like much, but when they spread out at night, it was a large area. In the darkness, people's vision was limited and they couldn't see very far. After Du Hu crossed the river, he gradually fell behind the team and led a few people. A confidant quietly distanced himself from the team. This guy is a good soldier. When he sees the wind blowing, he is braver than anyone else and appears to be very brave. But when things go wrong, he is the first to shrink back. Neck, then oiled the soles of his feet, and fled. Today, he felt frightened from the moment he came out. He couldn't feel at ease, so he made up his mind to follow and see how it goes before talking!

He thought so, but others didn't think so. Gradually, some people also had the same idea as him, and began to slow down in the dark. The team of 500 people suddenly became sparse.

In the night, Shen Ning also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly. He only felt that the number of people around him was slowly decreasing, but he could not give orders to gather them. He could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward. When they were about to arrive, When we were in Lishan Town, suddenly a Jin Army scout team of more than ten people came out of the camp, rode on horseback and started patrolling with torches outside the camp.

Sure enough, the Jin army was not stupid. They heard that the Song army was very active in the Suizhou area and strengthened the defense of Lishan Town. They sent a large number of scouts to patrol the area every night for fear that something might happen to the food and grass stored here.

Shen Ning was unlucky. Jin Bing could not clearly see their existence from a distance, but due to his lack of preparation, many of the soldiers in the army were overly nervous and showed their swords and guns in advance. Most of the soldiers liked to use their The weapons were well maintained and looked very powerful during the day, but they were about to die at night. The torches in the hands of the golden soldiers were shaking, and the light of the fire was reflected by the swords and guns, and fell right into the eyes of the golden soldiers. .

A golden soldier suddenly pointed at the twinkling stars in the night and reminded the other golden soldiers: "Look, brothers, why is there light over there?"

All the golden soldiers then started to pay attention. After seeing this, an experienced guy was shocked and immediately turned his horse and led the group of golden soldiers towards the camp. He took out his quiver while running. The song sounded and the bow was shot into the sky.

"Whoosh..." A harsh chirping sound immediately tore through the night sky and spread far into the night, completely breaking the tranquility of the night.

Someone in the Jin Army's camp immediately heard the sound of the whistle, and saw a team of their own scouts flying towards the camp. They realized that something was wrong and hurriedly blew the horn, and the camp immediately became lively. When they got up, the generals of the Jin Army who heard the alarm immediately mobilized the Jin soldiers in the camp. While strengthening their guard, they led the troops and rushed out of the camp.

Following the team of scouts, the Jin soldiers swarmed towards Shen Ning's hiding place of the Song army. When he saw that the Jin soldiers had discovered him, Shen Ning sighed and immediately ordered to gather his soldiers and retreat towards the river beach. , and now his Song Army was in chaos. They were like a group of headless flies in the darkness, bumping into each other. How could they form an array quickly?

As soon as the Song army was in chaos, they lost their fighting power. They could not find the generals, and the generals could not find their own soldiers. They rushed towards the river beach in a chaotic manner.

In this case, if the Song army is not in chaos, it may not be the opponent of the Jin army, because things happened in a hurry on the Jin army. The Jin general only brought out a few hundred people, which was not more numerous than the Song army. How much does it cost, and the Song army is in darkness. As long as it is organized properly and uses archers to intercept the Jin soldiers, it will be enough to make the Jin army pay a heavy price and disrupt them so that they dare not approach easily, and then retreat in an orderly manner. , then nothing will happen.

It's a pity that Shen Ning didn't make proper arrangements in advance. He only thought about success, but didn't think about how to deal with it once he was discovered by Jin Bing. The team immediately fell into chaos.

When the Jin soldiers saw a group of people retreating toward the river beach in chaos, they, led by their officers, quickly rushed towards the retreating Song army. A group of about fifty cavalry cleared the way in front and pursued the Song army vigorously. How could a human's two legs outrun the four legs of the Jin Army's war horse?

Soon the Jin cavalry caught up with Shen Ning's men from behind. The Jin soldiers waved their sabers and spears and immediately broke into the Song army, killing everyone they met. The Song army had already The situation is in disarray, and everyone above and below is already in a state of panic. How can they still have the heart to turn around and resist?

As a result, the fifty-man Jin Army cavalry, after catching up with the Song Army, felt as if they were in no one's land, and started a massacre of the retreating Song Army wantonly. They watched the Jin soldiers holding torches follow closely behind. Unable to let go, listening to the dying screams of the Pao Ze soldiers that kept ringing in their ears, the Song army became even more chaotic and scrambled to flee towards the river, just in time to hand over their entire backs to the Jin soldiers.

These Jin soldiers encountered almost no decent resistance. Every time they swung their swords, they could almost take away the life of a Song army. Blood spurted out, filling the air with the smell of blood.

Gao Huaiyuan was always paying attention to the situation on the other side of the river. When he heard the sound of thunder in the night sky, he secretly thought something was wrong. As a result, he soon saw a large number of torches pouring out of the Golden Camp in Lishan Town. He rushed towards the river bank, and soon heard screams and the shouts of the Jin army from across the river bank.

"Archers, get ready! Help our people cross the river at any time and intercept the pursuers behind them!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately sent an order to get the one hundred archers he brought with him ready.

Soon the archers dispersed and were ready to release arrows along the river bank. Everyone planted a few carved feather arrows on the beach in front of them, ready for use at any time.

At this time, the sound of splashing water was heard. The fast-running Song army had already started to go down the river, running towards the south bank of the river through the cold water. At this time, with the help of the torch of the Jin soldiers, Gao Huaiyuan was also vaguely in sight. I saw the situation on the other side.

I saw a group of Jin Army cavalry galloping back and forth wantonly among the defeated Song Army, constantly slashing and killing the panicked Song Army. However, the Song Army had already lost its fighting spirit, and there was no unified command. Like a wasp that was scattered, it just lowered its head and ran towards the river, without paying any attention to the golden soldiers behind it!

"Damn it! Why is it so chaotic!" Gao Huaiyuan cursed in his heart, thinking that although Shen Ning was brave, he was really a fool. At this time, he should have gathered his troops and horses, carried them first, and then killed the other party's cavalry. They retreated, but they didn't expect that they would behave like this.

Seeing more and more Song troops finally jumping into the water as if desperate, and escaping towards the south bank of the river, Gao Huaiyuan raised his hand and raised the hard bow in his hand, and ordered to the rural archers under him: "Hold on! , once the Jin Army cavalry enters the shooting range, aim and shoot for me! Don’t let them go into the river! Get ready!”

After the Song Army paid a heavy price, the remaining Song Army finally jumped into the river. Some of the slower Song Army were trapped on the north bank of the river by the Jin Army's cavalry. They rushed left and right but could not survive the charge. Crossing the river beach, Gao Huaiyuan could only watch helplessly as the Song troops who were a step too slow fell one by one to the butcher's knife of the Jin army, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, several of the fastest Song soldiers had crossed the icy river water and landed on the south bank of the river. They stumbled up the river embankment in shock, trembling with fear like chaff.

"You must form your team immediately and join me to resist the pursuit of the Jin army and cover the remaining people across the river!" Gao Huaiyuan saw that Song troops had crossed the river, but they were panicking like frightened rabbits, so he immediately ordered them

.

"Thousands of gold soldiers are coming from behind. Why don't you let me wait here to die? Ignore that guy and run with me!" A voice came from the darkness, speaking rudely to Gao Huaiyuan and yelling, and then

He climbed up the river bank with a few broken soldiers around him, trying to escape towards the planned retreat.

Gao Huaiyuan was immediately furious. At this time, he was thinking about how to save more friendly troops. Unexpectedly, this guy refused to express his gratitude and even cursed himself. Moreover, at this time, the local heroes were already very nervous.

, being shouted at by him, I was immediately frightened, and became a little panicked. Originally, there were not many golden soldiers, but this guy actually said that there were thousands of golden soldiers behind him. He was simply trying to confuse the army!

Gao Huaiyuan was furious. He quickly rushed over and kicked the guy away with a flying kick. He cursed: "Damn it! There are only a few hundred Jin soldiers, but you are deceiving the public with your monstrous words. Do you want to die?"

Can’t do it? Hold on tight for me. If you dare to continue running for your life, be careful that I won’t respond to my arrows!”

The guy's face couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, but Gao Huaiyuan's kick was angry, and it was really hard. After the guy received the kick, he almost lost his breath and lay on the ground for a long time without struggling.

Get up and curse.

Although his men were angry at first glance, they were also frightened. They immediately helped the guy up and dragged him to the river bank. They didn't dare to run anymore. They took their bows and arrows from their bodies and said:

Prepare to defend against the enemy.

At this time, hundreds of Song troops were splashing forward in the river as if a pot was boiling. The Jin soldiers and cavalry behind them quickly killed all the Song troops who had intercepted them, and then immediately rode their horses towards the river. The horses were not afraid of water.

, and the river is not deep. Once they are allowed to enter the water, all the Song troops who rush over will probably not be able to survive anymore!

"Fire the arrow! Aim for me and shoot hard!" Gao Huaiyuan roared loudly in the night, and immediately aimed his bow at a Jin Army cavalry, raised his hand and shot an arrow at it.

The unlucky Jin soldier couldn't see the arrow flying in the darkness at night. His throat was pierced by Gao Huaiyuan's arrow on the spot. He didn't even have time to scream. He just grunted and jumped off the horse.

If he hits the ground, he will die as soon as he hits the ground!
