Pirate Song

Chapter 40 Take Your Life

After this sudden change, the Jin army suddenly became chaotic. Even fools could see that they had been ambushed this time. Even the Jin general who led the army into the valley was a little confused. He thought that the Song people were really ruthless.

Using the lives of hundreds of people as bait to lure them here seems a bit too high a price!

As soon as the entrance of the valley was blocked, the village warriors on the mountain walls on both sides immediately, under the command of the young men, fired arrows at the golden soldiers below.

In the chaos, the Jin army held torches and crowded in the valley like targets, unable to advance or retreat. They didn't need to aim at all. They could kill a golden soldier with a casual arrow, and the screams suddenly became loud.

General Jinbing saw that the situation was not good and it was impossible to retreat, so he immediately raised his sword in his hand, banged the carved feathers to protect his body, and yelled at the remaining soldiers to rush towards the valley. Staying here was tantamount to seeking death.

It would be better to rush in and fight Song Jun to the death.

He thought well, but Gao Huaiyuan did not give him this chance. Then he gave an order, and the Song troops in the valley immediately fired arrows and shot back the Jin soldiers who tried to rush into the valley.

At this time, the chaos of the Jin soldiers was far greater than that of the Song army just now. In the darkness, arrows were flying like locusts above their heads. They could not see the nearby enemy troops at all, and they could not even fight back, let alone

After escaping, they had no idea how many Song troops were hidden in the valley. They were so scared that they didn't know what to do!

"Rocket preparation!" Following Gao Huaiyuan's order, a stream of fire appeared on the surrounding cliffs. Rockets tied with oilcloth were ignited one after another, and then left the string and scattered in the valley.

among.

As these rockets fell, the waist-deep withered grass in the valley was suddenly ignited, and the flames quickly surrounded the huddled Jin army. When they saw the fire burning in the valley,

The Jin army was completely desperate. It turned out that the Song army had such a vicious move and even set fire to the mountain to burn them alive.

After a round of rocket fire, the village soldiers immediately retreated into the valley from the already promising passages on both sides of the cliff, joined the remnants of the Song army inside, and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

In the valley behind them, flames shot into the sky, and screams filled the night sky...

In this battle, the Song army advanced rashly, but was defeated by the Jin people and lost many soldiers. Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan sent people to check the mountains in this area in advance and found a retreat for the Song army, so that some of the Song army were able to escape.

Instead, they used the terrain to ambush the Jin Army and annihilated four to five hundred Jin soldiers who were chasing into the valley. The blow to the Jin Army was also not small. It can be said that defeat was finally turned into victory, which brought a successful conclusion to this operation.

After the news reached Wanyan Saibu, he was so angry that he immediately sent several troops into the mountains to search for this damn Song army. However, after Gao Huaiyuan and several hundred people got into such a huge mountain,

Where to find it?

One day later, their troops ran a long way away. Under the guidance of the local people, they evaded several waves of pursuit by the Jin soldiers. They hid in the mountains dozens of miles away from Suizhou and finally escaped the pursuit of the Jin soldiers.

.

The continuous rapid march exhausted their physical strength. After hearing that they had escaped the pursuit of the Jin army, everyone lay down in a quiet valley. People gasped for air and secretly rejoiced that they had finally escaped. Escaped.

Gao Huaiyuan did not rest. After the troops were completely safe, he took Huang Yan and others with him coldly, and rushed into the remnants of Shen Ning's army with an angry look on his face. Those Song soldiers were grateful for Gao Huaiyuan's help to them this time, and they all After standing up and saluting him, Gao Huaiyuan just nodded coldly and walked to where Shen Ning was resting.

Du Hu was scared to death for more than a day. He followed Shen Ning closely, not daring to leave even half a step, for fear that he would be secretly dealt with by Gao Huaiyuan's ruthless gang. Now his only support is Shen Ning. After all, in this division of troops, the leader of their group is Shen Ning, and only he can protect him.

At first, he thought that Gao Huaiyuan would definitely die under the sudden arrow attack, but he never thought that Gao Huaiyuan was so powerful. He only suffered minor injuries in such a dense rain of arrows, and he also led his troops to kill hundreds of people. The pursuers led them to safely withdraw from the encirclement of the Jin army, which was really amazing.

After arriving here to rest, he soon saw Gao Huaiyuan leading people over in a menacing manner, so he subconsciously shrank behind Shen Ning.

Shen Ning was injured and was carried here by his men. The bumpy journey for more than a day made him suffer a lot, but he finally managed to save his life and rescued many of his men, so he I was very grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, knowing that I had underestimated Gao Huaiyuan before. Now when I saw Gao Huaiyuan coming, I struggled to straighten my upper body on the stretcher, and nodded to Gao Huaiyuan with a pale face.

"Thanks to the high command for the timely rescue this time, otherwise Shen and so many brothers would have been lost in Lishan Town! Shen is very grateful. I am injured at the moment, so I can't be polite, so I hope Gao Gao Commander, please forgive me!" Shen Ning leaned over and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan looked unkind, but he still suppressed his anger and replied: "You don't need to be polite, Vice-General Shen. His health is more important. This is Gao's responsibility and it should be done! Gao came here today to find someone to settle the matter." I'm afraid I'm going to offend Vice General Shen!"

When Shen Ning saw Gao Huaiyuan's unkind expression, he immediately thought of the cause of the matter. He had already heard about Taniguchi's incident last night, but all he heard were Du Hu's one-sided words. The man said that in the chaos at night, Gao Huaiyuan was killed. The group mistook them for Jin soldiers and ordered an arrow to be fired, accidentally injuring Gao Huaiyuan and killing a dozen of Gao Huaiyuan's local warriors. They offended Gao Huaiyuan and asked Shen Ning to help mediate.

Shen Ning felt that there shouldn't be any problem with this matter. After all, the valley was dark during the chaos last night, and accidental injuries were inevitable, so he didn't think too much about it and agreed at once, agreeing to serve Du. Tiger intervened.

Now that Gao Huaiyuan had brought up the matter of settling accounts, he knew that he was here to trouble Du Hu, so he quickly raised his hand to stop Gao Huaiyuan and said: "Commander Gao, wait a minute. Shen has already heard about this matter. It's all the same." It was just a misunderstanding. Du Hu didn't mean it. Accidental injuries in the chaos are inevitable. Shen gave the high commander a favor on his behalf and hoped that the high commander would take the overall situation into consideration and let him go! Now we still need to work together in the same boat. After returning to Zaoyang, Shen will personally serve wine to apologize for him. As for those Xiang Yong brothers who died unjustly, Shen will naturally not treat their families badly and will definitely do so. Use some money to appease their families!"

"Hmph! Misunderstanding? I'm afraid things are not as simple as Lieutenant General Shen thought! Du Hu actually knew that I was the one who brought people back, but he still ordered the arrows to be fired. Is this also a misunderstanding? Fortunately, Gao was lucky and was not killed by him on the spot. Death, but those brothers under me fell behind in order to stop the Jin army's pursuit, but they were all shot to death. How can this matter be left alone! Du Hu! Come out!" Gao Huaiyuan will do this. Er, who could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, rejected Shen Ning's explanation and roared at Du Hu who was hiding behind Shen Ning.

"Uh...? How is this possible? Commander Gao saved us, Du Hu has no reason to harm Commander Gao!" Shen Ning was a little confused, so he tried to persuade him again.

At this time, Du Hu also walked out tremblingly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Yes! It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The situation in the valley was very chaotic last night. I thought you guys, Commander Gao, were the chasing golden soldiers. I gave the order to release the arrows in a moment of nervousness. It really has nothing to do with your thoughts, high command!"

"You fart! Are you deaf? We informed you long before the high commander came back that it was our high commander who came back! But you still ordered the arrows to be fired. Didn't you deliberately harm our high commander?" Huang Yan on the side cursed angrily.

Du Hu looked like a scoundrel, spread his hands and said, "But the young one really didn't hear it!"

"Bah! I've told you not to hurt your own people, but you still ordered the arrows to be fired. What's your intention?" Even Zhou Hao, who didn't like to talk much, couldn't help but curse at this moment.

"Misunderstanding! It is indeed a misunderstanding!" Du Hupi continued to lie with a smile.

Gao Huaiyuan stared at Du Hu's face. After the whole day, this guy's face was quite dirty, but his eyes kept turning. It looked like he had a guilty conscience, and no matter how Gao Huaiyuan looked at this guy, he felt familiar. , trying hard to search for information about this guy's face in his memory.

"I know you! We've met before!" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he immediately remembered where he had seen this guy. The anger in his heart suddenly burned up, and he stepped forward without saying a word. He grabbed the strap on Du Hu's chest.

Du Hu panicked and exclaimed: "Let go, let go quickly! I already said it, it's all a misunderstanding. The high command told you not to go too far! I didn't know you before, you are seeking revenge for personal gain." !I am General Shen’s subordinate, even if I make mistakes, it is not your turn to deal with me!"

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan suddenly grabbing Du Hu, Shen Ning's face suddenly darkened. In his opinion, although Du Hu was at fault in this matter, he was Gao Huaiyuan's nominal boss anyway, yet he was like this He didn't give himself any face, didn't listen to his own explanation at all, and seemed to want to use violence against Du Hu.

"High Commander! Is my face so worthless? Since this is a misunderstanding, Shen has already apologized to you for Du Hu, what else do you want?" Shen Ning said angrily.

"East of Xiangyang City, above the official road, you don't know me? Humph! When you led the troops outside Xiangyang City to rob our grain trucks in Daye County, are you so forgetful? Du Hu! Stop making excuses. ! I know what you are planning! If you don't seek justice for my dead brothers today, I will no longer be named Gao!" Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay any attention to Shen Ning who was sitting on the stretcher, with an expression on his face. Du Hu showed a ferocious smile.

Du Hu suddenly panicked. He originally thought that Gao Huaiyuan couldn't remember him, but now he knew something was wrong. Gao Huaiyuan had already thought of the cause of the matter, and I was afraid it would be bad next.

Sure enough, Gao Huaiyuan, who was really furious, said nothing more, immediately raised his fist, and hit Du Hu hard on the face with one punch, causing the man to scream and scream wildly;

"General Shen, help me! The man named Gao has avenged himself... Oops..." Before he could finish his words, Gao Huaiyuan's second punch landed on Du Hu's face.

Shen Ning was really angry. After all, he was in the army, and Gao Huaiyuan was nominally under his control. Even if Du Hu was guilty, he would have to deal with it, but Gao Huaiyuan beat him whenever he wanted, without leaving any room for him. He doesn't have half a face, which way does he put his face!

"Stop! I said stop! Gao Huaiyuan, you are going too far! You... you... you are bullying others too much! Come on! Get Gao Huaiyuan!" Shen Ning was going crazy at this moment, looking at Gao Huaiyuan. Fatty beat Du Hu like crazy until his face was covered with blood and he screamed repeatedly, so he ordered his soldiers to capture Gao Huaiyuan.

The surrounding soldiers of the Song Army were in a dilemma at the moment. On the one hand, it was their commander, and on the other hand, he was their savior. And now Deputy General Shen wanted them to capture Gao Huaiyuan. What should they do? ah!

But after hearing Shen Ning's orders out of habit, the surrounding Song soldiers subconsciously gathered around and tried to pull Gao Huaiyuan away first.

But those who came with Gao Huaiyuan gave up and pulled out their sabers from their waists with a choking sound, blocking them in front of them and protecting Gao Huaiyuan in the middle.

Shen Ning almost fainted from anger, pointed at Gao Huaiyuan and Huang Yan and others under him and said angrily: "Do you want to rebel? Who has the final say here?"

After Gao Huaiyuan punched a few times, he began to calm down. Seeing that Shen Ning was already mad, he suddenly raised his knee and hit Du Hu's lower abdomen with his knee. Du Hu made a sound , after receiving such a heavy blow, his body suddenly became rickety, his eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Shen! Gao Mou already knows why Du Hu wanted to put Gao Mou to death! I remember when Gao Mou first came to Xiangyang to join the army, he met Du Hu outside Xiangyang City. He once brought him He broke up with a group of soldiers and wanted to rob the supplies we brought from Daye County, but was blocked by the subordinates and refuted his face. Therefore, this guy has been holding a grudge and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Gao!

Brothers, think about it too! When we were at the entrance of the valley last night, did you really not hear my people shouting, "I brought them back?" Who ordered the arrows to be released? I don't ask for your gratitude. "I, but everyone should ask themselves, has Gao ever been sorry to you?" Gao Huaiyuan explained to Shen Ning while shouting and asking the surrounding Song soldiers.

"General Shen, last night...last night we did hear the high commander's men say that he had brought people back, but Du Dutou still ordered the arrows to be fired. This is indeed true!" At this time, a soldier couldn't help but Stand up and clarify for Gao Huaiyuan.

Then more people began to nod, saying that they heard someone calling Gao Huaiyuan back last night, and it was Du Hu who ordered the arrows to be released.

At this moment, Shen Ning understood a little, and immediately felt furious. Although Gao Huaiyuan was not a member of their Shenjin Army, he was at least a friendly force. He was sent to support them this time, and he did save himself and himself last night. Many of his subordinates had lost their lives, but Du Hu took advantage of the chaos to kill Gao Huaiyuan. This matter was serious!

So he glanced at Du Hu, who had been knocked unconscious by Gao Huaiyuan. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately shouted: "Bring me Du Hu's men!"

Not long after, two of Du Hu's cronies were dragged over. When they saw that Du Hu had been knocked unconscious, and the atmosphere here was tense, they were frightened and their calves twisted. As soon as they arrived at Shen Ning In front of him, he plopped down and knelt down in front of Shen Ning, accusing him repeatedly.

"Let me ask you! Before Du Hu ordered people to shoot the arrows last night, did you know who was coming?" Shen Ning had to ask about this matter now. Otherwise, once Gao Huaiyuan fell out with him, he would just If there were only about 200 of him left, God knows if he could return to the army. Although he was dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan's arrogance, he still had to put down his attitude and ask this matter clearly.

Two of Du Hu's cronies saw that Du Hu had been beaten to death, and Gao Huaiyuan and others were staring at them with knives, so Dang even peed his pants in fright and cried. : "General Qi, you can't blame us for this! It was Du Du's order. The younger one even reminded him at the beginning, but he insisted on letting the younger ones shoot arrows. The younger ones knew that the person coming would be the high commander. They, even the little ones, have no choice but to do so! Otherwise, Du Dutou would not have let us go!"

After listening to the words of the two people, the truth of the matter was revealed. Shen Ning almost fainted. It turned out that Du Hu was really taking revenge on Gao Huaiyuan and wanted to take the opportunity to kill Gao Huaiyuan to vent his personal anger. Such behavior in this It’s a critical moment, it’s really shocking!

"Come here! Tie Du Hu up and behead him in front of everyone! At this critical moment, this guy is still thinking about taking revenge for personal gain! Damn it! Damn it!" Shen Ning's originally pale face became even paler now. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he gave the order loudly.

So several soldiers went up and tied up the unconscious Du Hu with his shoulders and arms tied up. At this time, Du Hu also woke up from his coma with a groan. After struggling, he realized that he was tied up, so He opened his mouth and shouted: "General Shen, help me! The following criminal, surnamed Gao, did not listen to your orders and threatened to take revenge on the younger one..."

"Bah! You're still so stubborn now, you really don't know how to live or die! Someone come and chop him up!" Shen Ning was furious. This guy is still trying to sow a relationship between him and Gao Huaiyuan, trying to use himself and Gao Huaiyuan to Gao Huaiyuan fell out and saved his life, so he immediately ordered to...dd
