Chapter 53: Falling from the Horse Again
"What are we going to do?" Tian Wenju couldn't help but be worried about the situation.
Gao Junshan is not an immortal, he can't predict where to go next, because he is a traverser, he is very sure that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can hold on to the end, so what he is most concerned about is where Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong go next, and he will be sure that nothing will happen if he follows them.
"Respond to change with the same." Gao Junshan blurted out that he couldn't act rashly until there was no better way.
Although Gao Junshan is not prepared to govern Pizhou for a long time, he cannot let it go. He appointed himself as the provisional governor of Pizhou, appointed local officials, maintained local law and order, and carried out a unified registration and management of the hungry people on the streets.
Pizhou seems to have changed all of a sudden, and all walks of life have begun to run in an orderly manner, as if there have never been thieves here.
The streets of Pizhou are also lined with shops, among which there are many century-old iron shops, Pizhou ironware is a special tribute in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Pizhou scissors are tributes in the Tang and Song dynasties, which shows that the iron forging process has a long tradition.
Gao Junshan gave special care to the iron shops in Pizhou, giving them double the amount of grain.
One day, Feng Shuangli hurriedly came to report that Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng had abandoned a large amount of property on the way to evacuate Xianyang, tempted the officials and soldiers to loot, and left the old and weak to block the enemy, so they fled to Qianzhou, and their general Gao Jie surrendered Chen Qiyu on the way to retreat.
Gao Junshan was very surprised to learn that Gao Jie had surrendered to Chen Qiyu, Gao Jie was very clear about the inside story of the rebel army, the habits of the generals, and the combat methods, which would definitely add a lot of trouble to the rebel army.
In history, Gao Jie surrendered to He Renlong, and now, although He Renlong is Gao Junshan's younger brother, this Gao Jie still surrendered, and he surrendered to Chen Qiyu.
"Reportβ" A guard came to Gao Junshan, "a black-faced man outside the door asked to see him, and he called himself Zhang Kui. β
"Hurry up, please!"
Blacksmith Zhang Kui came in with a spring breeze on his face, and when he saw Gao Junshan, he knelt down and bowed: "Zhang Kui greets King Qin!" β
Gao Junshan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Is your iron shop coming back?" β
"I'm coming back, I'm coming back."
Gao Junshan said: "It's good to come back." You go back and do a good job, and build more weapons for my righteous army, and we will buy them at the price. β
Zhang Kui said: "King Qin, I want to join the army." I'm going to take my ironshop and throw it into your ranks. β
Zhang Kui not only came to vote for Gao Junshan himself, but he also mobilized three blacksmiths to vote, which greatly enriched Gao Junshan's craftsman workshop, and Gao Junshan of course welcomed it.
In fact, Zhang Kui is not stupid, he knows that although the iron shop is coming back, if these rebels leave, that Ding Tianding will definitely snatch it back, and only by following Gao Junshan with an iron heart can there be a good life.
In the leap August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the weather in Pizhou was still hot, although it was close to autumn.
On this day, Gao Junshan was resting in the room, and the person next to his pillow was Han Yuyan. It was already a late hour, and the two were still hugging each other, Gao Junshan was reluctant to give up her softness, her warmth, and her indulgence, until a "buzzing" thunder sounded in the sky, and the two of them got up and dressed in a hurry.
"It's going to rain?" Gao Junshan asked.
Han Yuyan said softly: "I'll go outside and take a look." β
She opened the door and went out, and soon turned back, her face full of joy: "It's raining outside!"
"It's raining?" Gao Junshan asked himself thoughtfully, "It's raining." I hope this rain can stop Chen Qiyu's encirclement and suppression. β
It was a heavy rain at the turn of summer and autumn, and it swept away the sultry air at once, and the rain fell in a hurry, and in just a moment, the summer morning became dark. The rain fell on the roof tiles, on the ground, and on the pool, stirring up a mist of rain.
The rain did not stop for three days, and the road surface of Bizhou City became very muddy, and it became a very difficult thing to go to the streets. Due to the swelling of the river, the outside of the city also began to become a swamp. Villagers from all over the country poured into the city to escape the flood.
In the pouring rain, Bailisha came to Gao Junshan in a hurry: "King Qin, this heavy rain has caused the villagers outside the city of Pizhou to suffer a lot of losses, many houses have been flooded, people have poured into the city for refuge, many people sleep on the streets, cold and starvation. β
Gao Junshan said: "Immediately organize manpower to rescue these victims, and notify the big families in the city, asking them to vacate space and give the victims a temporary livelihood." β
Bailisha was ordered to go.
Gao Junshan ordered Zhang Cong to go to the street to buy fresh vegetables, the more the better; Then order Zhuang Youfu to get some old clothes and clothes and hats back.
The next day, Gao Junshan delivered the rice exchanged for the neutrino rice-vegetable exchange instrument to the victims to ensure the minimum living necessities of the victims. The things that Zhuang Youfu got were also distributed to the victims at the same time.
The heavy rain continued for half a month, and on the 18th, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the long-lost sunshine sprinkled on the city of Pizhou, bringing life to the lifeless victims.
"The rain has stopped!"
"The rain has stopped!"
"Go home!"
It seems that this sunshine penetrates people's hearts and dispels the haze in their hearts, and everyone cheers and is happy......
The people who were eager to return home were just like the people who came that day, and now they are swarming away, but most of them are wearing the clothes they have brought and each family is carrying a bag of rice home.
A few days later, the sun was shining, and the villagers who had returned to the countryside suddenly poured into the city again, this time all of them were strong young men, all of whom had the same purpose, that is, to join the ranks of the high mountains.
Gao Junshan did not have a plan to expand the team, and the battle did not depend on a large number of people, but also had to have good equipment and logistical support. Gao Junshan did a lot of persuasion work, but as a result, he still recruited more than 1,000 young people, and they were willing to disperse.
As for the training of recruits, Gao Junshan does not have to worry about it, there are two military talents, Cai Zhishan and Cao Wenzhao, as long as he reasonably arranges his time, he can sit back and enjoy the blessings of all people at home.
In this way, the days flew by, and it was October in a blink of an eye.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Sun Kewang came to report that a large number of officers and troops had gathered in the direction of Qianzhou, and the troops of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were attacked by Hong Chengchou's generals Zuo Guangdou and Yang Hualin on the way from Qianzhou to Fuping, and suffered losses of more than 1,000 and were now heading to Tongzhou.
Gao Junshan understood that it was time for him to move around, so he ordered the whole army to move closer to Tongzhou. They went all the way east, crossed the Huangshui, and then crossed the Qinggushui, and met the Ming army at Wutai Mountain.
"There is a Ming army blocking the col ahead." Cao Wenzhao reported in front of Gao Junshan.
"Have you figured out whose number it is?"
Cao Wenzhao replied: "It is the men and horses of Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi. β
Gao Junshan ordered: "Cai Zhishan listens to the order!" β
Cai Zhishan hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Cai Zhishan is here to listen to orders." β
"You bombard me with artillery and blow up a way, and I will see who dares to stand in front of me!"
After Gao Junshan gave the order, he rode his war horse to the forefront, Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu followed closely and Cao Wenzhao followed.
Gao Junshan came to the front of the formation and saw that there were deer and horses in front of him, and there were multiple horizontal logs to block them. In the enemy camp, I only saw flags waving and waving, but I didn't know the geometry of the ambush.
The main attack is Cao Wenzhao's second battalion, after the rumbling cannon sounded, Cao Wenzhao left He Renlong behind the formation, he led a thousand heavy cavalry to Xu Dingguo to charge, because the road is narrow, and there is a certain slope, the formation of the charge can not be expanded, several impacts are in vain.
Cao Wenzhao switched to infantry charging, the infantry advanced slowly, and they had to clear the barricades while advancing, and due to the weak protection, they were killed by Xu Dingguo's crossbowmen nearly a hundred times, and were forced to retreat.
Cao Wenzhao changed cavalry to charge again, but he was never able to break through Xu Dingguo's blockade line.
A morning passed, and the fighting continued. Gao Junshan was anxious, if he couldn't defeat the enemy in front of him in the afternoon, after dark, he would fall into passivity.
According to Sun Kewang's report, there are pursuers of the official army everywhere, and if they are trapped here, even if they have a biosensor, they know that the enemy is coming, and there is nothing they can do but passively be beaten or raise their hands to surrender.
Gao Junshan can't sit still, he wants to personally go into battle to fight the enemy, Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu rushed in front of Gao Junshan, protecting their masters wholeheartedly.
Bai Wenxuan shouted while rushing: "Brothers, King Qin is with us, don't flinch, rush forward!" β
Cao Wenzhao also heard Bai Wenxuan's shout, he looked back and saw that Gao Junshan really rushed up, he waved his arms and shouted: "King Qin is with us!" Come on! β
The charging soldiers also saw Gao Junshan rushing forward with them, and everyone shouted together: "King Qin is with us!" Rush! β
The shouts shook the valley, and the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted.
Gao Junshan rode on a horse, holding a steel shield in his left hand and a neutrino pistol in his right hand. He wears a bulletproof vest made of ultra-thin graphene material, gloves are also made of ultra-thin graphene material, and his feet wear a pair of combat boots that never wear out. In addition to this, he was also dressed in heavy armor, and his horse also had armor to protect his body.
Clasping his legs on his horse's back, he used his steel shield to fend off the flying arrows, and as he shot at his enemy with his neutrino pistol, the steel shield shook the ground and knocked down two archers who had come out to shoot.
He rushed to a place about fifty meters away from the enemy's defensive line, which was covered with corpses, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the Ming army or the rebel army. It was difficult for him to take a step forward, because there were corpses strewn around, and infantry was needed here to clear the road.
Enemy arrows were fired at him in large numbers, and he flew the steel shield in his hand to block the damage of the arrows. There were not many people who rushed in front of him, except for Bai Wenxuan and Zhuang Youfu, there were only seven or eight heavy cavalry soldiers, and Cao Wenzhao had already fallen behind him.
His neutrino pistol emitted a cold blue light, killing three more Ming cavalry who rushed down, and the frightened enemy did not dare to charge down further, but turned around and fled.
This is the last insistence, only a small charge at the enemy, his will will will be broken, Gao Junshan knew this, but the war horse he was riding was exhausted, he had been urging the horse forward, just happened to be a steep slope, the war horse he was riding jumped on the front legs, and fell weakly.
He fell down the steep slope with his horse, and he fell on a corpse, his hard armor knocking his head open.
He struggled to stand up, because he had been enjoying the pleasure of his wife and concubine some time ago, his legs were already weak, and he couldn't stand up at all, and the archers of the Ming army also found him, and dozens of arrows were shooting at him.
