Pirate Song

Chapter 42: Ambush

The unprepared Jin soldiers only shouted an enemy attack and were covered by the torrential rain of arrows, followed by screams. They were in the light and became the best crossbowmen of the Song army.

At the target, almost no golden soldier escaped from this round of shooting. They were all shot into hedgehogs and rolled to the ground.

Then a cavalry force of more than a hundred people had already galloped to the camp gate, slammed open the thin camp gate, and broke into the Jin Army camp like a whirlwind. Many people reached out and snatched the sword from the camp gate.

Holding the blazing torches in his hands, he galloped away, rushed into the camp, and threw the torches towards the big tents of the Jin army with all his strength.

A large number of Song Army infantry followed closely behind the capital's cavalry like a torrent, and suddenly poured into the Jin Camp. The shouts of killing immediately resounded throughout the Jin Camp.

Most of the Jin Army soldiers were still sleeping at this moment, and they didn't even understand what was going on outside. They saw the tent was lit by torches, and the entire tent was immediately filled with thick smoke. Some people didn't even know what was happening outside.

When he woke up from his dream, he was stabbed to death in the tent by spears pierced into the tent one by one.

Groups of Song troops invaded the Jin camp according to the implemented arrangements, and immediately headed in the predetermined direction under the leadership of their respective officers. The spearmen struggled to penetrate the tent with their spears, regardless of whether there was anyone inside or not.

Who knows, many golden soldiers died in their dreams like this.

These Song troops rolled through the Jin soldiers' camp like a whirlwind, and every tent they passed was quickly torn into pieces, and the blood of the Jin soldiers was sprinkled along the way.

More Song troops began to take out the torches they had prepared, lit them one after another, and continued to charge forward with the torches, throwing the torches at the Jin army tents one after another.

With the sound of howling, some Jin soldiers, covered in flames, rushed out of the military tents screaming, but were immediately killed on the ground by the Song army that swept past.

Soon after Hu Zaixing's army rushed into the Jin camp, fires broke out all over the Jin camp. Under the fire, there were numerous figures everywhere in the Jin camp, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the night sky.

After the Jin soldiers were attacked so suddenly, they immediately became a mess. Even if they were lucky enough to break into the camp, they were all confused and didn't know what to do.

There was no suspense in rushing into the battle. Although most of the golden soldiers got out of the camp by luck, they were all shirtless. Many people were in panic and ran out empty-handed without even getting their weapons.

Maybe he can stop these red-eyed Song soldiers!

This raid was like a one-sided massacre. Basically, the Song army encountered no decent resistance wherever it passed. The Song army, armed with both swords and guns, was filled with mutilated corpses of Jin soldiers everywhere.

Screams filled the entire camp.

Gao Huaiyuan took the lead and led his rural soldiers to the northwest corner of the Jin camp, where the Jin soldiers' stables and grain and grass storage areas were located. It was also the main target of the Song army. The rural warriors had already prepared rockets, torches, etc. to start the fire.

As soon as they rushed into the golden camp, they lit torches and rockets and placed them on the bowstrings. As soon as they approached the mountains of haystacks and grain piles, they opened their bows and fired arrows, shooting these rockets.

Came out.

Suddenly there was like a meteor shower in the sky, and dots of rockets landed on the grain and hay stacks one after another, and then set the hay stacks on fire.

The panicked Jin soldiers rushed out of the camp one after another, but were immediately swept away by Gao Huaiyuan and his group like a violent wind. Their stumps and broken arms flew into the air, and blood splattered everywhere.

Gao Huaiyuan's heart was beating wildly at this moment. The Yanyue sword in his hand astride the horse danced like a wheel. He led the way and charged at the Jin soldiers' camp wantonly. No one among the unorganized Jin soldiers could stop their assault.

He was cut down to the ground like a piece of grass by their swords and guns.

Gao Huaiyuan had an uncontrollable impulse. At this moment, he just wanted to kill, kill, kill... as if he had become a killing machine. Even he himself didn't know where such emotions came from. He felt as if he had never been there before.

It was so enjoyable that I just wanted to kill all the enemies in front of me.

This may be due to the primitive animal nature being stimulated in the human body. At this moment, not only him, but also the local warriors under him all seemed to have changed. Their eyes were red, and they kept talking.

Looking for the target to kill, many times as long as they see a golden soldier appear, several people will pounce on it at the same time, cutting the unlucky golden soldier into pieces. This emotion seems to be uncontrollable, and everyone becomes confused.

It has become a bloodthirsty monster, and now only the beastly nature of killing is left.

Wanyanke was originally holding a young woman that his men had snatched for him from nearby and snoring loudly. He had spent all his energy on this woman in the first half of the night and did not realize the danger was coming until his own soldiers rushed in.

When he entered his tent and yelled about the enemy attack, he was still sleeping and firmly grasped the plump breast of the captured woman with one hand.

When he was awakened by the exclamations of his own soldiers, he did not react for a few seconds. As if in a dream, he looked at the frightened subordinate who appeared in front of him with sleepy eyes. He was surprised that this

Why did he stand in front of his bed? Didn't he know that he was very busy last night?

Watching the soldier's mouth open and close, his hearing finally connected with his nerves and fed the information back to his brain, which was not yet fully awake.

It was only then that his brain began to be awakened and began to work normally. When he heard the cry of the soldier clearly, he let out a exclamation like a naked pig that had been kicked on the butt.

He jumped up from the bed in an instant. Listening to the deafening shouts and screams in the camp, he finally figured out what happened.

"Damn it! Hurry up and prepare my horse! Stop the Song army for me!" He panicked like a frightened fat pig, running around naked in the tent, and he didn't know what to do.

But his first thought was to quickly have someone stop the Song army and bring him a horse so that he could escape.

The soldiers shouted: "The horses have been prepared for the general. General, hurry up and leave! The Song army will kill here soon!"

After hearing what his subordinates said, Wanyanke immediately raised his legs and ran out of the tent. However, after running two steps, he realized that he was still naked, so he hurriedly turned around and grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed. With the candlelight, he

I just happened to see the frightened woman from the Song Dynasty on the bed, and an idea suddenly occurred to me, and she secretly said it was a pity, the skin of the women from the Song Dynasty was really smooth and delicate!

But this thought only passed by for a moment. After he grabbed a robe, he pulled out a bright sword from the soldier's waist and swung it away. The woman immediately screamed and blood splattered everywhere.

He fell on the bed, then rolled to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he became motionless.

Wan Yanke then put on his clothes and strode out of the tent. At this time, the entire Jin camp was already in chaos. The firelight almost illuminated half of the night sky. There were chaotic Jin soldiers everywhere.

From too far away, there was still the sound of the Song army shouting to kill.

With the support of his own soldiers, Wanyanke climbed onto his horse in a panic, then immediately slapped his horse and fled in the direction where the fire had not yet started. A group of his own soldiers followed closely behind, protecting him and running towards the east.

Yuanmen.

Wan Yanke's escape caused the Jin Army to completely lose its unified command. Even if the Jin Army tried to resist, they could not stop effective resistance. The chaos was like a plague, and it quickly infected everyone in the Jin Army.

When the soldiers could not find the generals and the generals could not find the soldiers, many golden soldiers chose to escape and swarmed towards each camp gate like a swarm of swarms.

In this way, Hu Zaixing's army basically encountered no decent resistance, and quickly swept through the entire camp, setting the huge North Camp of the Jin Army on fire.

Wanyan Saibu also got the news at this time. When he was shocked to hear that Beiying was raided by the Song army, he thought that Meng Zongzheng led his troops out of the city to sneak attack Beiying, so he immediately ordered a group of soldiers and horses and left immediately.

His camp rushed towards the camp in the north of the city.

But when he led his army out of the camp, he encountered a small group of golden soldiers. Among them was a disheveled guy sitting on a horse, panicking like a fat rabbit. By the light of the torch, he immediately

Recognized this person's identity.

"Wanyanke! What happened in Beiying?" Wanyan Saibu roared angrily and stopped Wanyanke who was running over.

Wanyan Ke, who had already been frightened, saw Wanyan Saibu leading his army. He immediately got off his horse, threw himself in front of Wanyan Saibu and shouted: "Commander! The North Camp under the banner was suddenly attacked by Wan Song's army.

A sudden attack on the enemy, the humble officer resisted desperately, but there were too many enemy troops, so he had no choice but to come to the commander-in-chief for help!"

Wanyan Sai was almost fainted by this guy, and said angrily: "Resist to the death? Where is your knife? Where are your pants? Is this how you fight to the death? Guo Wan Songjun! Where did you come from around here?

Wan Songjun? Could it be that they fell from the sky? Come here, tie this guy up for me first, and then let him go as appropriate after I come back!"

At this moment, everyone saw Wan Yanke's attire. They saw that this guy was wearing a cotton robe, but his lower body was as bare as a pig. His two hairy thighs were still exposed, and he didn't even have boots on his feet.

Wearing clothes, his feet were bare, and his hands were empty, and he didn’t even hold a straw. Who would believe that he resisted with all his strength!

So a few swordsmen immediately came up and tied up Wan Yanke with all their skills, but the guy was still talking harshly and making a lot of noise.

Wanyan Saibu led his troops while gathering up the broken troops along the way and hurried to Beiying. But when they arrived at Beiying, the place was already a sea of ​​fire. In addition to the corpses on the ground, the Song army had already evacuated.

"Chase me! Damn the Song people, they are so arrogant, we must not let them go!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Wanyan Saibu almost vomited blood. This time he attacked Zaoyang. It can be said that he has not made any achievements so far.

However, he has lost more than 10,000 troops since he sent out troops. This result is really unacceptable to him. If the Song army is allowed to continue tossing like this, then this battle will not have to be fought anymore. Just being tortured like this by them will destroy him.

These soldiers and horses were polished.

So now Wanyan Sai is not in a hurry to get a big victory to boost the morale of the army. Otherwise, he won't be able to explain to his sponsors.

In order to wipe out Hu Zaixing's army outside Zaoyang City, Wanyan Sai had no choice but to lead the pursuit in person. He had to send his general Wanyan A as the main general with 7,000 elite troops. After dawn, he left the camp outside Zaoyang County and marched along Hu Zaixing's army.

The traces left behind by the evacuation were pursued all the way to the west of Zaoyang, with the intention of annihilating Hu Zaixing's army in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the northern camp of the Jin army was completely destroyed. More than 5,000 Jin soldiers were killed, and countless supplies of food, grass and baggage were lost. If Wanyan Sai had not come to the rescue in time, then the Jin army might have been completely defeated by this battle alone.

, but even so, after Wanyan Saibu divided his troops again, the offensive against Zaoyang had to be delayed again.

It was a pity that Hu Zaixing failed to make an appointment with Meng Zongzheng in the city in advance that night. When Meng Zongzheng heard that there was a fire and chaos in the Jin Army camp in the north of the city, it was already too late when Meng Zongzheng realized that it might be friendly forces raiding the Jin Army's north camp.

, failed to lead his army out of the city to cooperate with Hu Zaixing's army to attack the Jin army, otherwise, he would probably defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop, which really made Gao Huaiyuan sigh with regret afterwards.

However, being able to achieve such a result was very satisfying for Hu Zaixing and even his generals. Three thousand people killed five thousand enemies. Such a record was enough to distinguish the army, so this battle was later recorded.

Entering into one of the rare great victories in this protracted Song-Jin war.

After Hu Zaixing led his army to successfully raid, he burned the entire Jin army camp to the ground and immediately led his army to retreat west of Zaoyang, leaving Wanyan Saibu, who had arrived late, in vain.

After daybreak, Hu Zaixing's army had retreated to more than 20 miles west of Zaoyang, and then settled down and began to rest.

This time Gao Huaiyuan led the township barracks to be proud again. There were more than 700 people in the township barracks, and they killed at least a thousand enemies. They also took advantage of the chaos to seize more than 300 Jin army horses, and captured about 10,000 shi of Jin army food. This greatly enriched the army.

Hu Zaixing used it to raise his army and captured more than a hundred Jin soldiers, which was considered a great achievement among all the battalions.

At this moment, even Gao Huaiyuan didn't bother to count how many people he killed that night. Anyway, even the Yanyue knife in his hand was cut into a slightly curled blade, and his whole body was covered with plasma. After dawn, he would

Looking at him, there were actually some pieces of meat hanging on his body. Anyway, this battle was a good one. Since coming out of Daye, this was the first time Gao Huaiyuan had killed an enemy so happily. He was quite happy in his heart and was just cleaning up his body.

As we were getting dressed, I started to feel a little nauseous.

After this period of continuous fighting, the baggage battalion has changed from what it used to be and has become an iron army. No one in the army dares to look down upon them anymore.

According to Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion, Hu Zaixing led his troops to retreat to the Taiping Town area west of Zaoyang before stationing and resting. Although the terrain in this area was flat, it was full of ravines and dense water networks, so there was no danger of an attack by the Jin army.

In the next nearly half a month, Hu Zaixing took Taiping Town as the center and dealt with the Jin army who came to chase them. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only take advantage of this opportunity to follow up.

A veteran like Hu Zaixing studied hard and led his supply battalion to willingly serve as auxiliary troops, constantly traveling around the water network area, which opened his eyes.

In such a place, the large army movements that the Jin Army was accustomed to could not be carried out at all. Often after seeing the whereabouts of the Song Army from a distance, the Jin Army general led the army and rushed over, only to see the Song Army close at hand.

However, there was nothing they could do against them across a river. Most of the Jin army were from the north and were not good at water. Even if it was a small river, they would not dare to cross the river to pursue them.

Most of the Song army were from the south, and most of them were proficient in water, so it was very convenient to move in such places. They often made a sudden attack on the Jin army when they were cold-blooded. When Wanyan'a led the pursuit, the Song army immediately crossed the river.

After passing by, they ran to the other side of the river. The Jin army was so angry that they screamed but could not do anything to them.

After fighting like this for half a month, the Song army became more and more courageous as they fought, while Wanyan'a's seven thousand gold army was exhausted and lost the ability to continue to pursue Hu Zaixing's army, so they had to find a place to camp down.

, trying to lead Hu Zaixing and troops to come and fight them decisively.

It's a pity that Hu Zaixing saw Wanyan'a's intention at a glance and didn't fall for his trick at all. Instead, he stationed himself not far from them, facing the Jin army from a distance, and sent small groups of soldiers across the border every night.

The water network and the ambush of the Jin Army's scout team made the Jin Army's scouts panic and did not dare to stray too far from the main force. This greatly restricted the Jin Army's ability to perceive the battlefield, making it impossible for Wanyan'a to understand the specific situation of the Song Army.

It was not until he saw that the Jin army had completely lost their patience that Hu Zaixing chose a place and led his army to build several pontoon bridges on an unknown river overnight, preparing to lead his army across the river and fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

After daybreak, Hu Zaixing led his army across the river, while Gao Huaiyuan was ordered by Hu Zaixing to stay in the direction of Hexi, responsible for supporting the retreat of the Song army.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on one with great interest, setting up a pergola with his hands and watching the movements of the Song and Jin armies on the other side of the river. He arranged several crossbows in the bushes not far from the pontoon bridge, making them well hidden.

After Xiangyong each chose a small forest near the floating bridge to ambush, the entire army hid on the west side of the river.

"General Hu's move is really cruel. If this battle succeeds, then we should chase the Jin army and run towards Zaoyang!" Huang Yan held a straw in his mouth carelessly and stood behind Gao Huaiyuan, looking at Hedong from a distance.

Looking at Song Jun's actions, he said to Gao Huaiyuan with a sinister smile.

"That's right! This General Hu, despite being just a big boss, can actually come up with such a method. It's admirable!" Jia Qi, who was standing on Huang Yan's side, touched his bald chin and pretended

He shook his head and said in a mature manner.dd
