On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a lot of rain and heavy rain.

"King Qin, the Red Army friends are back!" Sun Kewang rushed into the military tent of Gao Jun Mountain.

When Gao Junshan heard the news that made him happy, he hurriedly urged Sun Kewang: "Quick, take me to meet him!" ”

Sun Kewang said: "It's the news sent back by the Tanma, the Red Army friends got lost in the chaos yesterday, and they looked for the way last night, and finally got in touch with the Tanma we sent this morning, and they are still on the way back." ”

"Oh......" Gao Junshan's hanging heart finally let go, "As soon as the Red Army friends arrived, they immediately told me." ”

"Yes."

After half an hour passed, the Red Army returned to the barracks, and Gao Junshan took his hand enthusiastically and said, "I'm finally back, but I'm worried about death." ”

The Red Army friends self-examined: "It's all my fault, let King Qin worry about me." ”

"Don't say that." Gao Junshan asked his Red Army friend to sit on the edge of the brazier and roast the fire, and handed him a cup of tea, "Tell me why you were beaten so badly by Zuo Liangyu?" ”

Red Army friends sighed: "It's all my fault that I was too light on the enemy, and I just went forward, who would have thought that Zuo Liangyu had an ambush in advance, and almost all of my troops were annihilated." ”

Gao Junshan comforted: "As long as you're okay, I'll rest assured." You can think about the other things, first seize the time to rest, get a good night's sleep, and we will set off in the afternoon. ”

The Red Army friend asked: "Has Cao Bianjiao come back safely?" ”

Gao Junshan replied: "He came back yesterday, and his team didn't suffer any losses, mainly because the team you led, almost all of them who came back were scarred." ”

The Red Army Friends were very guilty: "I'm sorry King Qin." I commanded inappropriately, please punish the king of Qin. ”

"Don't think about it, you can get a good night's sleep."

Red Army Friends said with tears in their eyes: "King Qin, I know everything, you didn't leave because you waited for me, otherwise you could have left here yesterday." I'm not sleepy at all, taking advantage of the heavy rain now, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to chase after him, so we hurried to Dazhou Mountain to meet Cao Wenzhao. ”

"Why don't you get some sleep?"

The Red Army friend's eyes were firm: "No problem, in good spirits!" ”

"Okay, get ready, and we're going right away."

The Red Army friend did not move, and said, "King Qin, I have one more thing to report to you." ”

"Please!"

The Red Army friend said: "I got lost this time, but I was fortunate to meet a person, and I got his help to return here in time." ”

"Oh?" Gao Junshan asked curiously, "What person?" ”

The Red Army friend said: "Time is pressing, I will simply report to you, please don't be surprised." I got lost all the way to Hanoi, broke into a village, and met this person in the village, who heard that I was a general of the King of Qin, and not only gave me guidance, but also personally led the way. ”

"Have you ever thanked someone?"

"He said he wanted to see you."

Gao Junshan asked: "After talking for a long time, who is he?" ”

The Red Army friend replied: "His name is Li Xin." ”

Gao Junshan was extremely surprised: "Li Xin! ”

Red Army Friends looked at Gao Junshan with surprised eyes: "King Qin, do you recognize him?" ”

Of course, Gao Junshan knew the character of Li Xin, and in history, Li Xin defected to Li Zicheng and assisted him in achieving hegemony and establishing Dashun. It's a pity that because Niu Jinxing framed him, Li Xin was unjustly killed. Gao Junshan also knew that he was from Hanoi, Henan, and he was still a lifter.

"I've just heard of him." Gao Junshan replied casually.

"He knows you."

"Does he recognize me?" Gao Junshan felt very strange.

Red Army friends said: "The prestige of King Qin is far and wide, who in the world doesn't know you!" ”

Gao Junshan nodded at the Red Army and smiled: "Your brother ......"

The Red Army friend stood up: "I'm going to invite Li Xin in?" ”

"Go!"

After the Red Army friends went out, Gao Junshan added firewood to the brazier to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Li Xin was actually outside, and the Red Army friends quickly brought Li Xin in, and after a few words of greeting, the Red Army friends consciously withdrew.

After Gao Junshan and Li Xin sat by the brazier, they began to get to the point.

Gao Junshan said humbly: "I am a grass people, and I raised troops because the court had no way. Today, Li Gongzi came to vote, raised the banner of righteousness with me, and saved the people from fire and water, which is really a wise move. ”

Li Xin said: "Qin Wang Side is in the people, his reputation is far away, and he is glad to be inspired by the banner of righteousness. I, Li Xin, have long had the intention of taking refuge, but no one recommended me, thanks to General Hong, I was able to meet the King of Qin. ”

Gao Junshan was overjoyed: "I know that Li Gongzi has a talent for civil and military affairs, and he has long had the intention of making friends, but the world is vast, and I don't know where you are." It is providential to be able to see it today. ”

Li Xin was also shocked: "King Qin is so fond of love, and he is willing to follow King Qin." ”

Gao Junshan took Li Xin's hand and said, "Great! In the future, I will ask Li Gongzi to give me more advice on major military aircraft events. ”

Li Xin said: "I believe in my willingness to gallop, even if I go to the soup and fire, I am also willing." ”

……

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Dazhou Mountain, sunny.

Dazhou Mountain is also known as Tower Mountain because Empress Cao of Song Renzong built a tower on the mountain. Its mountains are rugged, the fog is as bright as jade, and the obscurity is vague.

On this day, the people and horses of the high mountain converged here, and at the foot of the mountain, the company camped for more than ten miles. Gao Junshan led a group of civil and military personnel to hold a meeting in the Chinese military tent.

Among those sitting were Bai Lisha, Tian Wenju, Li Xin, Cai Zhishan, Red Army Friend, Cao Wenzhao, Li Busi, He Renlong, Li Wanqing, Cao Bianjiao, and Liu Chenggong.

Gao Junshan decided to divide the existing army into the left and right armies and go south to Runing, because Feng Shuangli came with news that our eastward advance detachment was also marching towards Runing. According to Feng Shuangli's intelligence, Hong Chengchou's main force was on the road to Shaanxi, and had not yet entered Henan, and in the area of Bishui was Zuo Liangyu and other troops who had pursued the rebels in advance.

Gao Junshan ordered: "Cai Zhishan, Red Army Friends, Li Busi, and Li Wanqing are the Left Route Army, with a total of 13,000 men and horses, Bailisha is the Left Route Army Division, Tian Wenju is the Deputy Army Division, along Weishi, Fugou, Xihua, and Shangshui, enter Runing, and the chief officer of the Left Route Army is Cai Zhishan; Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao, and Liu Chenggong were the right route army, a total of 10,000 horses, and 3,000 family members of the old camp. I am the commander-in-chief of the Right Army. ”

At the end of the meeting, the division of troops to the south began.

The ministries set off one after another. The reason why it is necessary to divide the troops is to increase the marching speed of the troops, and when the troops are strong, it will not be easy to cause congestion. In addition, it is also conducive to the development of the team, and you can recruit hungry people along the way.

Gao Junshan's team arrived in Dengfeng in one day, and the hundreds of defenders here had already fled, and the troops only rested for one night, and then marched to Jiaxian the next day.

During the two-day trip, Gao Junshan's rebel army arrived at the outskirts of Jiaxian, where Gao Junshan's right army met with stubborn resistance.

Gao Junshan ordered Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong to outflank them left and right, and this stubborn enemy was quickly defeated and retreated to the city.

The defenders were less than 1,000 people, and the reason why they resisted stubbornly was because Chen Yongfu's reinforcements stationed in Nanyang could come over in three days, so they were very confident.

Gao Junshan ordered Cao Wenzhao to take the lead in attacking the city, but due to the lack of gunpowder, Cao Wenzhao's siege did not progress, and a day passed.

Li Xin proposed to besiege the city for reinforcements, but Gao Junshan vetoed it.

Gao Junshan said: "Our purpose is not to destroy the enemy, but to go south as soon as possible and join forces with other rebels, so it is meaningless to call the enemy to help, only by breaking the city a way, we can pass through the city smoothly." ”

Gao Junshan ordered to build a ladder to attack the fortified position. Twenty ladders were built in half an hour, he personally led the team to the north gate of the city, the north gate is called "Gongchen Gate", the wall is one zhang five high, the bricks and stones are made, very solid. The magistrate of the city was called Hou Jinggao, and thousands of people were mobilized to help defend the city.

This time, Gao Junshan changed He Renlong to be the main attack, and the soldiers of the righteous army braved the rain of arrows and rolling thunder and flying stones to shout to kill the earth, swarmed up, and put the cloud ladder on the city wall, although the cloud ladder was set up, but several cloud ladders were overturned again, and then overturned, and then overturned down, repeated several times. On the side of Gao Junshan, more than 300 rebel brothers were lost, but none of them succeeded in climbing the city wall.

"Zhuang is blessed!" Gao Junshan shouted loudly, the air froze for a moment, and Gao Junshan remembered that Zhuang Youfu was no longer there, so he changed his words, "Sun Kewang, follow me!" ”

"King Qin, you can't go." Sun Kewang saw that Gao Junshan was about to rush up, and hurriedly said, "I, Sun Kewang, don't rush to the city and don't come back to see you!" ”

Zhuang Youfu died because of him, Gao Junshan will not make such a mistake again, he has been less close to women during this time, and his physical strength has recovered quickly, thinking that he attacked the stone tower back then, it was the city wall that he took the lead in climbing, and today he wants to reproduce the heroic posture of the year, so he ignored Sun Kewang's obstruction, held a steel shield in his left hand, and held a neutrino pistol in his right hand, leading his personal guards to rush up.

Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong saw this scene, and said in their hearts, the commanders of the first army have rushed up, and we are still stunned for what to do, so they beat their horses and want to follow Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan saw that Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong were also following, and shouted: "Retreat!" Stand down, all of you, and hold me down! ”

Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong did not dare to follow anymore, returned to their camp, and ordered the archers to shoot at the enemy soldiers at the head of the city.

Gao Junshan's whole body equipment was enough to resist the flying arrows, he rushed to the ladder, discarded the steel shield, and climbed up the ladder with one hand, while shooting at the enemy, he was agile, like a monkey on a tree, when he shot two Ming soldiers defending the city, one foot had already stepped on the female wall.

With a loud shout, he jumped onto the top of the city, and with a single shot, killed another soldier who lunged at him.

"It's terrible, this man is invulnerable, and he knows magic. Run for your life! I don't know who shouted so at the head of the city, and there was a great chaos all of a sudden, especially the people who cooperated with the people who defended the city fled for their lives in a panic.

"Divine Soldiers from the Sky!"

"Divine Soldiers from the Sky!"

The people who shouted and shouted indiscriminately disturbed the morale of the Ming army, so that the Ming army also dropped their weapons and fled to the city among the people.

Sun Kewang followed closely behind Gao Junshan, he was the second to climb the city wall, he had the nickname of "a wall" in history, and now he is following Gao Junshan, he has been well fed and warmed in recent years, and he usually pays attention to the training of swords, and his kung fu is very good. As soon as he rushed up, the big knife in his hand cut off two heads, one left and one right.

Gao Junshan's personal guards also followed up to the city, shouting and killing.

Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, the two cattle men in the late Ming Dynasty, witnessed Gao Junshan so brave, and their hearts were filled with admiration, and even the ordinary soldiers around him were praising them.
