"Report ......!"

A hurried, high-pitched voice came. Gao Yu, who was leading the army to march at a gallop, hurriedly stopped, only to see a fast horse running to him, and the soldier who delivered the news hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "Report to the captain!" The two generals Li Congji and Dang Shiying have been sent to the right side, the thieves have withdrawn without a trace, General Yang Wen was seriously injured, and the casualties of the team exceeded seventy! The two generals, Li Congji and Dang Shiying, asked for orders, what should I do next? ”

Gao Yu was overjoyed and surprised. The good thing is that the right side is really not the main force of the thieves, and the surprise is that the thieves are so strong, and the team of 10,000 people has suffered heavy casualties. He immediately gave an order: "You quickly pass on the commander's military order, let the two generals Li Congji and Dang Shiying protect the right flank of our army, and rush to support the front army together!" ”

Just a few steps away, the left side of the fast horse arrived, the situation was terrible, Han Cun Baoli was killed in battle, and the team was almost dead and wounded. The thieves had long since withdrawn, and the two commanders of the forbidden army were helping the wounded soldiers. Gao Yu had no choice but to order to protect the left flank and rush to support the front army.

A large number of officers and soldiers arrived, and saw that Jing Zhong and Zhang Kai were waiting for battle, and there was no trace of fighting between the two sides, and they all quietly confronted each other. However, when the cavalry of Liangshanbo on the mountain road saw the arrival of the army, they left the officers and soldiers who were puzzled in their hearts, turned around and beat their horses and left.

Gao Yu asked to understand the situation and had doubts, but the 100,000 army can't bask in the sun here! Gao Yu gritted his teeth and calculated in his heart: "If the thieves ambush the main force here, just fight with him and consume, and there are many casualties among the officers and soldiers, I can transfer troops again, the thieves have more casualties, where will he transfer the thieves!" Non-toxic no husband! I added 11,000 troops to it, and gave a death order to change lives one-on-one, to see if the thieves could afford it? ”

With his mind already decided, Gao Yu shouted loudly: "Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, how can you stop my heavenly army!" Jing Zhong, Zhang Kai, and Dang Shiying listen to orders! The three of them hurriedly came and bowed to the order.

Gao Yu said with a stern expression: "Ben Shuai ordered the three of you to lead 10,000 people to charge each, and when you encounter a thief, you must fight with all your might, and you must not take half a step back, even if you fight all 10,000 people!" When one 10,000-person team is finished, use another 10,000-person team to make up for it, and you must drag the main force of thieves here to exhaust it! Those who dare to retreat will be punished as anti-thieves and killed on the spot! ”

After inspecting the three generals, he said sternly again: "Jing Zhong is the first team, Zhang Kai is the second team, Dang Shiying is the third team, and Ben Shuai himself is the fourth team charge!" The first team charges at once! ”

Jing Zhong knew that he was cannon fodder, and he did not dare to disobey the military order, he led the army to rush over to die with anxiety, but he could not see half of the ambush soldiers through the mountain road. Jing Zhong was overjoyed, on the one hand, he was happy, and on the other hand, he was repaid.

After the sentry reported the investigation to Gao Yu, as long as those who had fought in the war understood that they had fallen into the suspicious tactics of Liang Shanbo, there was no main force of Liang Shanbo here.

They were fooled.

The flags in the woods on the hill were deliberately planted, the dust behind the mountain was caused by the branches tied to the tail of the horse, and the only force left was the cavalry that had retreated not long ago, and it was obvious that these thousands of cavalry were meant to drag the officers and men to support the left and right armies, and to avoid attacking the left and right armies.

After tossing for a long time, Gao Yu was furious and wanted to behead Jing Zhong and Zhang Kai for the crime of lying about the military situation. The generals begged bitterly, and the two of them left one life, but if they don't make meritorious service next time, they will be killed.

In Jeju City, Gao Yu looked at the statistics and was at a loss, and he didn't know how to deploy the war next. Six were killed and one seriously wounded, and the 100,000-strong army was less than 40,000. More than 20,000 sailors came back less than 2,000, all the warships were lost, the commander Liu Menglong was captured, and the general Dang Shixiong was killed.

In just one battle, the 200,000-strong army was almost halved, but he didn't even see the shadow of a thief, is there a more defeated commander than himself?

Gao Yu smiled bitterly, not because of his lack of strategy, but because the thieves were too cunning, and the army was transferred by them. Defeat is defeat, but how to explain it to the court? If you present the truth, you don't need to attack the thieves in Liangshan, and you will obediently cut off your head and send it to the capital to apologize. If you don't report the truth, you can only lie about the military situation, which is Gao Yu's forte, he discussed with his staff, and sent a piece of good news to the capital quickly.

The court was boiling, and the monarchs and ministers were dancing.

Great victory! 163TXT

A great victory for the bandit army!

In the first battle, more than 40,000 thieves were killed in land battles, and countless thieves were drowned in water battles.

Huizong and the ministers were happy for a day, and the second fast horse came to the capital again, and this time the news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which blew Huizong unconscious.

More than 30,000 soldiers have died of the disease, but Captain Gao has taken effective measures to stop the spread of the disease. The thieves resisted stubbornly and fiercely, and in their frantic confrontation, the officers and men were also seriously injured. The data of the last battle was also counted: Jiedu made Wang Huan, Xu Jing, Xiang Yuanzhen, Mei Zhan, and Han Cunbao stain the battlefield with blood, and they died in battle; Jiedu seriously injured Jing Zhong and died later; Jiedu made Wang Wende escape from the battlefield and was engaged in military justice; Liu Menglong, the general of the navy, and Dang Shixiong, the general of the forbidden army, were killed and martyred; More than 20,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.

This was repaid, only one battle, and nearly 100,000 people were killed and wounded on both sides! This was a great victory, and it was clearly a slaughter of both sides exchanging their lives for their lives, and the officers and soldiers seemed to be more seriously killed and wounded. If the fight continues, what will be the death toll? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand? Can the Great Song Dynasty afford such a bloody war? There are a large number of dead and wounded, and how much strength does it have to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun? No way! You have to think of a foolproof strategy, at least a strategy with small losses.

Before Huizong and the courtiers could discuss the plan, the third fast horse went to the capital to ask for help. Liangshan Bo is 800 miles in circumference, surrounded by water on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and cannot win unless it is a warship. Gao Yu also begged for a holy decree, dispatched shipbuilders from all over the country, built a shipyard in Jeju, built a large ship to conquer the Liangsan Bo thieves, and asked the designer of the Tokyo shipyard Fufeng to come with the army. Moreover, the ranks were seriously reduced, and it was required to replenish the army of bandits.

200,000 troops went to suppress bandits, and asked for supplements, you think the army is sand, grab a handful.

Huizong was annoyed, summoned the courtiers to discuss, and the call for Zhao'an sounded again. The reason is that the thief's strength has been greatly damaged, and Zhao'an is a good time at this time, and the thief can get off the donkey to avoid annihilation. But Cai Jing disagreed, he thought that there was no turning back from the bow, the army had fought with the Liangshan Bo thieves, and if the army was withdrawn and recruited would be in vain, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded in vain. The plan for now is to increase the number of troops to suppress the bandits and completely eradicate the bandit problem in Liangshanbo. The two sides fought a balance in the war of words, increasing troops and recruiting security with both hands, and if they failed to recruit security, they were immediately annihilated.

There was Cai Jing in the capital to give Gao Yu internal aid, and the resistance of the court was nothing, so Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang led another 20,000 forbidden troops, and Yang Fan led 10,000 sailors to aid Gao Yu. Fufeng led a group of skilled craftsmen to Jeju to build loach ships for the army.

The shipyard outside the city of Jeju became Gao Yu's only hope to defeat Yangsanbo, and he attached great importance to it, all of them were closed and isolated from the outside, and all of them were taken over by the army, and idlers were not allowed to enter. The perimeter of the shipyard was surrounded by three circles of thick wood, and a large number of divine arm bows and crossbow beds were erected on various defensive points of the shipyard. So the shipyard was so well guarded that not even a single mosquito could fly in.

Although Jeju is densely wooded, there is no shortage of timber, and the shipyard has a large number of skilled craftsmen recruited from all over the country, it is impossible to build hundreds of loach boats in a month or two. Not to mention that wet wood has to be boiled, steamed, and dried, the selection of wood alone is a very professional matter, and some trees are cut down in the spring, and the wood is easy to be eaten by insects, and some wood is easy to deform, and so on, so the officers and soldiers are stationed in Jeju from spring to summer.

The consumption of grain and grass by more than 100,000 troops was not only a few, but it was no longer enough to meet the needs of officers and soldiers by relying on the supply of the imperial court and the assistance of Jeju. Spring and summer are also the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, which has brought many difficulties to the collection of grain and grass, so the officers and men are hungry, and there are many complaints in the army. Some generals began to quietly send troops to distant villages to grab food, and sent troops to patrol in the name of beauty. When the rest of the generals saw it, they followed suit, so the soldiers near Jeju suddenly became troubled, and the villagers talked about the change of color. What's more, he actually took the head of the villagers and said that he had encountered a small force of the Liangshan Bo thieves, and the officers and soldiers wiped them out.

Gao Yu knew that there was fraud, but he also needed these heads to explain to the court, so he turned a blind eye. Seeing that the killing of civilians was meritorious, other teams also joined the ranks of increasing military merit, so the officers and soldiers encountered more and more thieves in the villages outside Jeju, and their military merits became greater and greater.

There was no major progress in the war, just a small fight, the army stationed in Jeju was just a waste of money and food, and the court officials had a lot of complaints, if it wasn't for Cai Jing's strong resistance, I am afraid that Gao Yu would have been disturbed by the holy decree urging the troops. But Liang Shanbo can't shrink out, so Gao Yu can't do anything if he wants to do his best, although he will not be affected by the life of the emperor outside, but whoever is the emperor in such a state will have an idea. It's time to make some moves to seal the courtiers' mouths.

At this time, the imperial court's Zhao'an team arrived in Jeju, and Gao Yu had already received a secret letter from Cai Jing to stop Zhao'an. So he coaxed and frightened him, and said that the situation was quite bad, and Yang Taiwei, who was in charge of Zhao'an, was already small, and he hid in Jeju City at once and did not dare to come forward. Please ask Gao Yu to contact the Liangshan Bo thief first to discuss all matters, and then he will come forward to recruit An.

Before Gao Yu set out on the expedition, Huizong granted him a great right, that is, the situation was urgent, and he could act in the name of the Son of Heaven. This means that he is the boss in Jeju, and he holds the sword of Sangbang and can do whatever he wants. This right was only used by Gao Yu to collect wealth and suppress dissent, but one person had other ideas.

Since the last time he made a plan to make Gao Yu lead the army to a void, Ye Chun has always been the target of ridicule, pretending to be an expert, making random decisions, and causing the army to be useless. In order to raise his head in front of everyone, he made a plan to Gao Yu: write a private letter to Song Jiang in the name of the Son of Heaven, and lure Song Jiang to come to Jeju to recruit an and capture him, even if Song Jiang does not come and kills his brothers, the angry Song Jiang will definitely lead the army to a decisive battle with the army.

This plan is in line with Gao Yu's intentions, if the main force of Liangshanbo and the officers and soldiers can be exchanging their lives for their lives, they will first consume the strength of the thieves, and wait for the loach warship to be built, it will be the end of the Liangshanbo thieves. Ye Chun was also overjoyed, and recommended himself to imitate Song Huizong's handwriting to write private letters.
