Chapter 283: Robbery while the fire is burning 4

Even the former comrades in the city were persuaded to drop the food, and their lives were saved, who would want these burdens These Song soldiers threw down their weapons, took off their armor, and unloaded their bows and arrows. At this time, Yang Dachun heard that Gao Yuan had come outside, and when he went up to the city, he understood what Gao Yuan meant, and immediately sent soldiers to transport these weapons and armor into the city, and sent baskets of food and water out of the city.

Gao Yuan took the opportunity to ask about the robbery of grain and grass in the Song army, these Song troops were not under Wang Yuan, but I heard that the grain and grass were robbed to a city east of the Liu Li River.

Gao Yuan knew the whereabouts of the grain and grass, and he didn't care about the Song army here, so he went all the way south to pursue the Song army that fled in front.

From Zhuozhou all the way to the south, not far away is Qigou Pass, which has long been Yang Keshi's people, Gao Yuan sent someone to inquire, only to know that Liu Yanqing did not pass by from here. Gao Yuan thought that the grain and grass of the Song army were robbed on the east bank of the Liuli River, and presumably the Song army went north to Yanjing and took the road on the east bank of the Liuli River. Thinking of this, Gao Yuan hurriedly led the cavalry straight to Guiyi City. There is a must for the Song army to cross the river and return to Xiongzhou, as long as the ambush is good and they are caught off guard, they will definitely win. Besides, he still has two explosive arrows given by Zhou Nan in his hand, but Zhou Nan saw that he only brought a thousand people, so he was not at ease, so he gave him two.

After running south along the river bank all night, when the sky was bright, Liu Yanqing found that the pursuers behind him suddenly stopped, and Liu Yanqing thought that the soldiers were tired of chasing and took a breath. But he guessed wrong, and the soldiers turned their horses' heads and went back directly to the north, and the speed did not slow down just now.

Could it be that the Fanren Emperor died, and the emperor still doesn't know where he is.

Whatever, let's take a breath. Not far ahead is Guiyi City. After returning to righteousness, crossing the river again will be considered safe.

Liu Yanqing hadn't run so far in one breath like this for a long time, and when he looked back at the cavalry army that followed him, he had been running on horseback all night, and people were more tired than horses.

Looking at the speed of the rotation of the soldiers just now, there must be something big in the north, and the soldiers will not come back for a while. Liu Yanqing took off his armor and lay on the ground, faintly feeling sleepy. The horsemen who followed him also took off their armor and saddle bridles, so that the horses could be relieved. More than 5,000 people ran desperately along the way, but not many of them were chased and killed by the soldiers.

The sun was high, the sun was warm on the grass, and the breeze blowing along the river, even if the stomach was hungry, it could not stop the fatigue and sleepiness of running all night. Five thousand Song soldiers, accompanied by the fragrance of grass, fell into a dream leisurely. It's just that the coach fell asleep early and forgot to explain the whistle. Everyone felt that the people had retreated, and that it was already safe here.

Gao Yuan took 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry troops borrowed from Guiyi and Xincheng to the north along the Liuli River to search for the Song army. From a distance, I saw the Song army lying down, as well as armor and weapons everywhere, and the war horses were eating grass along the grass freely, and the grass full of people could eat it long ago.

"Kill" Gao Yuan rushed over first.

The Song army in his sleep had just been awakened by the shouts of killing, and saw a large number of soldiers coming from the east and south directions, and there were countless banners alone. Countless arrows came over and landed in front of the Song army. It looks like the next shot will hit the body.

The sleepy-eyed Song army stood up in a panic, the war horses were grazing in the distance, there were only armor and weapons around him, and he didn't know if it was his own, seeing the soldiers rushing here with spears, some close to the river bank, jumping into the water, trying to escape from the river. When the other Song soldiers saw that someone had fled, there was no one to resist the soldiers, so they had to jump down with Liu Lihe to the west. Fortunately, the water of the Liu Li River was not deep in this section, it was only waist-deep, and the current was not fast, so these Song soldiers jumped into the river, supported each other, and fled to the west bank without their lives.

Liu Yanqing originally wanted to pick up the weapon and fight with the soldiers, take a gap to escape, see that the river is shallow, the water is not urgent, there is a way to live, who will fight with the soldiers, and also ran into the river and went to the west bank with difficulty.

Gao Yuan led 3,000 pretended soldiers, like a duck to drive the 5,000 Song soldiers into the river and escaped, seeing those Song soldiers from the west bank ashore, Gao Yuan did not chase, since Zhou Nan just let him grab things, he didn't want to kill these unarmed Song soldiers, what's more, these Song soldiers and Yang Keshi are still comrades, maybe they are still fellow villagers and friends, why should they kill them all Fortunately, these Song soldiers are in a hurry to escape, and do not fight with them, if these Song soldiers come to fight, kill and injure some people, but it is not good-looking.

Gao Yuan just ordered his soldiers to shout and whistle loudly, as if they were going to chase, and let people shoot arrows into the river. When these Song troops climbed ashore from the west one by one like chickens in soup, Gao Yuan sent out 500 cavalry troops to cross the river on horseback, "escorting" this group of unarmed Song troops to the south, and watching these Song troops cross the river and come back.

Gao Yuan laughed at this time, this trip down, but it was really worth it.

The weapons and armor scattered on the ground alone were placed along the shore for a full two miles, and there were more than 3,000 pairs of armor, and there were even more weapons, bows and arrows. Although the war horse is not as good as the war horse of his own cavalry, it is also a war horse, at this time more than 5,000 war horses are still grazing on the grass, and the Song army only cares about fleeing for their lives, and not a single horse is taken away. At least 2,000 cavalry can be equipped.

Gao Yuan couldn't close his mouth happily, this Song army is too bad, just because of this, he still wants to capture Yanjing, but he is afraid that he will come to die and send food in vain.

Thinking of food, Gao Yuan thought of Gu'an City not far from here in the east. He heard from the defenders of Guiyi City that a few days ago, the Song army's grain transport team passed through Guiyi City and went north to deliver grain, and there were 50 or 60 ox carts carrying grain alone. The kind of ox cart with a wide axle and long wheel, each cart is pulled by two oxen, and each cart can form at least 4,000 catties of grain

Gao Yuan was trying to let the two thousand infantry troops of Xincheng Guiyi gather the weapons and armor scattered on the ground, and then use war horses to transport these armors back. But seeing that there are only 500 cavalry around him, let's go together.

Gao Yuan didn't care about these weapons and armor, and now in this realm, who else dared to come over and grab his own things, he ordered the two thousand infantry troops to choose the right armor and weapons, and then one person and two horses, and took away all the war horses left by the Song army. Two thousand five hundred people went straight to Gu'an City.

East of the Sanggan River, south of Yanjing, there are only two big cities left in Gu'an and Anci that have not been recovered, and these places don't have to worry about Dalang.
