Pirate Song

Seeing that the tent cloth on the car was ignited by the rocket, the brave villagers who received the water bag immediately pulled out the plug of the water bag and poured water on the fire point. After a hissing sound, most of the flames at the fire point were consumed.

Pressed it down.

However, the Jin people did not give them too many opportunities. When the Jin general released the rocket, he once again led his men to rush towards the car formation. When the bowstring sounded, he once again rained a round of arrows on the car formation.

The village warriors who were busy putting out the fire were caught off guard. A dozen of them were shot over by the Jin army's attack and fell off the cart.

"Don't panic, shoot arrows to stop them!" Gao Huaiyuan saw that the situation was not good and immediately shouted again.

But at this time, those golden soldiers had already rushed to the cart formation, and some more golden soldiers threw their torches towards the cart in front of them.

These torches immediately set several carts on fire, and the villagers in the array immediately became confused. The little water in the water bags sprinkled on the flames could not control the fire at all.

When the fire was about to start, the village heroes immediately let out a cry of exclamation.

"Why are you panicking? Digging earth on the spot to suppress the fire. What can this fire do to me?" Gao Huaiyuan saw the rural soldiers starting to get confused and immediately shouted again, asking them to dig earth immediately and cover the fire with earth.

on the cart.

Gao Huaiyuan's calmness made these village heroes regain their backbone, and they immediately settled down again. They hurriedly followed Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, dug up the earth and covered the fire, and quickly controlled the fire, so the group immediately started shouting again.

Sounds of cheers.

Seeing the Jin army charging arrogantly in front of the car formation, constantly firing arrows at the car formation, causing constant casualties to the village heroes, Gao Huaiyuan felt that being beaten passively was not an option, so he shouted: "Huang Yan

,Zhou Hao!"

When the two heard the sound, they immediately shouted: "The little one is here!"

"Are you afraid of death?" Gao Huaiyuan asked them loudly.

These two boys are really men. After hearing Gao Huaiyuan ask them this, they immediately puffed up their chests and shouted: "Follow the boss, the younger ones are not afraid of anything!"

"Okay! In that case, you two each take ten people and go out with me to kill Jin Renqi, so that they don't think we are easy to bully! Do you dare to go with me?" Gao Huaiyuan asked them again

.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this. They were all cavalry. Wouldn't it be like asking for death if they rushed out with twenty or so people? But in their hearts, they admired Gao Huaiyuan to death, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Gao Huaiyuan.

"I'm afraid they're stupid!" Huang Yan and Zhou Hao were really courageous. They replied casually. After saying that, they immediately turned around among the young men in Crouching Tiger Village, named ten people each and stood up.

These twenty people were all spearmen and sword and shield bearers. They immediately lined up at the gap and stood in front of Gao Huaiyuan. At this time, Zhang Qing couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Gao Huaiyuan was very courageous for his young age.

After all, he was also the leader of the Daye Archers. If he huddled in the car formation and did not dare to go out, he would really be underestimating his status as a regular country soldier, so he stood up and shouted: "Zhang Qing is not afraid of death. I am here."

You just go together!" After saying that, he walked up to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Zhang Qing and said: "Brother Zhang is really brave! I admire you! Zhou Jun heard this, I ordered you to lead the archers to wait for me. After we charge for a while, immediately release arrows to cover my retreat."

return!"

Zhou Jun originally wanted to jump out and rush out with Gao Huaiyuan, but after hearing his order, he immediately replied: "Young man, please don't worry, young master! The archer will follow me in the car!" After saying this, he immediately took the rest with him.

The archers jumped onto the cart.

After Gao Huaiyuan arranged things in the car formation, he took the commando team composed of the boys from Crouching Tiger Village and formed a team according to the usual training methods. They stood in front of the gap and stared at the roaring outside the car formation.

The Jin army galloped back and forth, looking for the best opportunity to attack.

When he saw a group of Jin troops approaching the gap in the car formation, he suddenly shouted: "Come with me and rush out to kill the Tatars!" As soon as he finished speaking, one person took the lead, raising the sharp sword in his hand and striding forward.

Move forward and break out of the car formation.

Zhang Qing, Huang Yan, Zhou Hao and others immediately followed Gao Huaiyuan and shouted, rushed out of the car formation, and pounced on the group of golden soldiers showing off their power in front of the gap.

This time it happened suddenly. This small group of Jin soldiers did not expect that the Song people and rural warriors hiding in the car formation would have the courage to rush out and fight with them, so they were not mentally prepared at all, and they still had it in their hands.

It was bows and arrows, and they were not even prepared for melee combat. When they realized that the momentum was not right, it was too late to change their weapons, and they were suddenly bumped into their team by Gao Huaiyuan and more than 20 people.

They had no intention of charging into the formation, so their horses were not very fast, and they did not charge directly towards Gao Huaiyuan and the others. Otherwise, the impact of the horses alone would have knocked Gao Huaiyuan and the others into disarray. It was precisely for this reason that they were defeated.

Gao Huaiyuan created a rare opportunity.

Gao Huaiyuan took the lead and ran into the crowd of Jin soldiers. He swung the Mo Dao in his hand desperately. Without waiting for the Jin soldier in front of him to react, he swung the sword down. The Mo Dao was originally a weapon specially used by the Tang army to restrain the cavalry. Gao Huaiyuan was so powerful.

The big perverted guy used it, and it was even more sharp. After swiping the knife, he split the golden soldier and his horse into several pieces. His flesh and blood immediately splashed all over Gao Huaiyuan. In such a scene, even Gao Huaiyuan was stunned.

Those Jin soldiers who were used to seeing killing scenes were shocked.

In a blink of an eye, the remaining Zhang Qing, Huang Yan and others followed Gao Huaiyuan and rushed into the golden soldiers. The long gunmen were specialized in stabbing people, while the sword and shield hands protected themselves and the gunmen around them.

They were responsible for chopping horses below, and when they met, they killed this group of Jin soldiers, knocking down more than a dozen people. The remaining Jin soldiers were frightened, and immediately turned their horses away, escaping from Gao Huaiyuan's group.

At this time, Jin Jiang, who was still directing the attack from the outside, just noticed the strange movement here. When he saw someone rushing out of the formation to kill his troops, he became even more angry and dizzy. He yelled and ordered the surrounding troops to come and encircle and suppress them.

Gao Huaiyuan and his party.

However, after Gao Huaiyuan was hit by a blow, he did not hesitate to fight. He immediately shouted and led the more than 20 people to retreat towards the gap. A group of golden soldiers rushed behind him, trying to chase them down. As the golden soldiers followed,

Approaching, the last three teenagers were shot in the back by flying golden arrows. They fell to the ground and struggled to get up. However, after staggering a few steps, they were seriously injured and fell to the ground again.

.

Gao Huaiyuan heard their screams, but at this time he could not turn around to save them. Hu Mu tearfully ordered to retreat into the formation immediately, otherwise, if you wait a little longer, no one would be able to go back.

The three young men who fell to the ground were quickly trampled into the crowd by the Jin soldiers and cavalry who rushed by. They were immediately trampled into a ball of flesh and blood, becoming the first batch of Gao Huaiyuan's men to lose in this battle.

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan also led people to rush back to the car formation under the cover of Zhou Jun and other archers' volleys. He once again blocked the gap with a simple horse-rejection improvised by those who were not part of the team. Several golden soldiers rushed in.

He moved too fast and tried to chase them into the car formation, but instead of rushing in, he lost his life in front of the gap in the car formation and was shot by an archer.

The exchange rate was three to ten, and this was the life of the cavalry in exchange for the infantry. Gao Huaiyuan won this time anyway, but Gao Huaiyuan couldn't be happy no matter what he said. After all, he had trained the three teenagers with his own hands.

Yes, Gao Huaiyuan was really saddened by the feeling of watching them die in front of his eyes and being unable to save them.

Although he was not happy, the country soldiers were so happy that they almost went crazy. If they listened to Gao Huaiyuan before because they were afraid of him, then after today's assault, these country soldiers no longer have any

They were dissatisfied with him in their hearts. At this moment, they had already regarded Gao Huaiyuan as a god and worshiped him to death. They all cheered loudly again, feeling that with Gao Huaiyuan here, they should not be afraid of anything.

.

So after this assault battle, the heroes among the locals immediately improved a lot again and reached the peak. The archers who were scared to death just now were no longer afraid now. They got up one after another and headed towards the people outside the formation like crazy.

The Jin soldiers fired their arrows, but in comparison, the Jin soldiers' morale was greatly reduced by Gao Huaiyuan's assault. They turned their horses and ran back again, not daring to approach the car formation arrogantly.

So this bunch of Jin people no longer dared to underestimate the country soldiers. They stared at them but couldn't do anything with them. They looked at them helplessly but couldn't eat them. And this was still the territory of the Song people. They were originally the vanguard army, and their purpose was to harass them.

The Song army was at the rear, but its troops were small, so they did not dare to fight here for a long time, so after several more charges, they did not achieve any results. After looking at the car formation that had been besieged for half a day, the Jin general heard that the scouts were coming.

He reported that a Song army had appeared in the east and was rushing here. It was already very close to here. He was worried that it would be surrounded by the main force of the Song army coming for reinforcements. Although he was unwilling to give up, he had no choice but to lead his troops and leave.

Here, before leaving, General Jin was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.

Seeing the Jin soldiers leaving their corpses on the ground and retreating toward the north in dejection, everyone in the car formation once again let out loud cheers.

In this battle, at least fifty people were killed by the Jin army, and no fewer than thirty or forty were injured. More than two hundred Jin soldiers were lost here, and nearly half of them were lost. However, Gao Huaiyuan, a country soldier, was not killed.

, only killed and wounded more than a hundred rural soldiers, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was basically one to one. For the rural soldiers, this was simply a miracle, enough to make them proud.

Soon after the Jin soldiers retreated, there was another rumble of footsteps from the east, and then they saw a Song army flag flag fluttering on the road and rushed over. Gao Huaiyuan and others felt relieved. Many people

Only then did they realize that the fierce battle for a long time had exhausted their energy, so they all staggered and sat down.

When this battalion of 500 Song troops arrived, they only saw the scattered corpses of Jin soldiers and horses here. There was no sign of the Jin army, so everyone was shocked. After receiving the order, they came back to help.

When Gao Huaiyuan arrived at this baggage team composed of rural braves, most people actually had no hope. They thought that after coming, they would at most collect the bodies of these rural braves, but they did not expect that after they arrived,

This baggage team composed of rural warriors still existed in an organized manner. The baggage vehicles were still tightly gathered together and controlled by these rural soldiers. They also killed many golden soldiers around the vehicle array, so everyone was immediately

Was shocked.

A young general, Tima, came to the front of the car formation and shouted loudly to the people in the car formation: "I am Meng Gong, the leader of the powerful army of the Great Song Dynasty! I have come to help you. Who is in charge here? Please come out and tell me.

talk!"

After Gao Huaiyuan saw the arrival of the Song army, he breathed a long sigh of relief, packed up his clothes and armor, and then walked out of the car formation. However, after hearing the general's name, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Although he was not too familiar with the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was not unfamiliar with the name Meng Gong. You must know that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, there were not many people in the Southern Song Dynasty who could truly be called generals, and Meng Gong was exactly one of them.

The one with the largest head.

This man should be the son of Meng Zongzheng, who is now under the jurisdiction of Meng Qian. He followed his father to fight against the Jin Dynasty and made many military exploits. Later, he was responsible for the defense of almost two-thirds of the front lines in the entire border war in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a very outstanding military strategist and was praised by later generations of armies.

Historians call him the master of mobile defense in the Southern Song Dynasty. Gao Huaiyuan still knew this.

Unexpectedly, he met him here today. Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed and secretly rejoiced that his trip to Xiangyang was not in vain. It was his luck to get to know such a famous general!

So he hurriedly walked out, clasped his fists at Meng Gong and replied: "I am Gao Huaiyuan. I am the escort of this team of local braves. I have met General Meng!"

As he spoke, he looked up and down at the Meng Gong in front of him. He saw that Meng Gong was not too old, probably in his twenties, not very tall, with a face like a crown jewel, and a short beard.

He looks more like a scholar than a military general, but he has broad shoulders and a broad back, wearing iron armor and a bronze helmet on his head. There is a faint sense of heroism in him. At this time, he is also looking at himself.

Meng Gong lowered his head and looked at Gao Huaiyuan who was standing in front of the horse. He was quite shocked. He originally thought that this group of rural soldiers could fight such a beautiful defensive battle. The leader of the army must be a general of a relatively young age.

, but he did not expect that the leader of this team of rural soldiers was actually a young man, so he became very surprised.

Seeing that Gao Huaiyuan was covered in blood, he was very powerful, and he was holding a sharp long knife, which could not be underestimated. He did not dare to be too confident, so he quickly got off his horse and came to Gao Huaiyuan.

, reached out and took one of Gao Huaiyuan's hands and said: "We are a little late and have frightened you all. I hope the Gaobao team will forgive us!"

Although Gao Huaiyuan was still dissatisfied with the Song army's delay in coming, he calmed down after seeing Meng Gong. After all, most of the Song army were infantry, and his baggage team was far away from the main force.

It was a little further away. Even if the Song Army got the news, it would take some time to rush over. After looking at the panting Song Army soldiers running behind Meng Gong, he knew that they must have tried their best, so he stopped.

No matter what grievances there are, he quickly said politely: "How dare you! Fortunately, General Meng came in time. If it had been later, we would really be unable to hold on!"

"The high security team should not call me general anymore. Meng has not been in the army for a long time. Now he is just a Dutou. This time he is just acting as a commanding officer. The high security team still calls me Meng Dutou! Call me Meng Dutou!

Let me tell you about today’s battle! I think the Jin Army suffered a big loss at the hands of Gao Bei Team this time! Gao Bei Team is really a genius!”

Looking at the corpses of Jin soldiers discarded around him, Meng Gong did not dare to support Gao Huaiyuan. He spoke very politely and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

So Gao Huaiyuan briefly introduced the situation of today's encounter to Meng Gong. After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's understatement, he immediately heard the danger involved, so he admired Gao Huaiyuan even more, and with five hundred

Xiang Yong actually remained calm against more than 200 Jin soldiers and elite cavalry, and even defeated the Jin soldiers. This kind of record is enough to be proud of even among the regular army, and Gao Huaiyuan is so old.

Not only did he accomplish these things, but he also seemed to have personally killed the enemy troops, and he showed no signs of arrogance. He fell in love with Gao Huaiyuan and decided to make friends with Gao Huaiyuan no matter what.

"Awesome! Meng is very impressed by the high-defense team's achievement today. Now the enemy's troops have been in contact with the Jin army in the Zaoyang area, and the two sides have started fighting. Getting this news will definitely boost the morale of our army. Look,

The Jin army is just like this, our army will definitely defeat the Jin army in this battle!" After hearing this, Meng Gong immediately smiled at Gao Huaiyuan.

"Thanks to Meng Dutou, it's all thanks to these fellow villagers below who dared to sacrifice their lives that we achieved this result. Gao doesn't dare to take credit! Since Meng Dutou is here, let Gao sort it out and arrange it.

After picking up these brothers who died in battle, we set off on the road!" Gao Huaiyuan said modestly.

"That's how it should be. These local warriors all sacrificed their lives for the country, and they should be buried properly! Come here, help the Gaobao team collect the bodies of these warriors, and treat the wounded here. The clerk will count the merits of the Gaobao team as soon as possible.

Write it down and report it to your father so that you can be rewarded based on your merits after the war!" Meng Gong was an honest man and had no intention of taking the opportunity to steal credit from Gao Huaiyuan, so he immediately gave instructions to the subordinates he brought.

The Song soldiers who came with Meng Gong were very impressed by the fact that Gao Huaiyuan and his gang could achieve such results. They did not dare to look down on these country warriors, so they immediately got busy and helped Gao Huaiyuan and these country warriors collect the coffins.

He collected the bodies of the fallen and helped treat the injured Xiang Yong.

After counting, Gao Huaiyuan still felt sad. Although the 500 local warriors had chariot formations to rely on in this battle, their combat power was insufficient and their protective armor was incomplete. Sixty or seventy people were killed and seventy or eighty were injured.

So many, even among his youth team, five people were killed and seven injured, and the team of 500 people was reduced by nearly 30%.dd
