Chapter 136: "Gao Chuangzi" is injured
Zuo Mengeng, who was in Xuzhou, also began to march to Guide under the advice of Jin Shengheng after the wheat harvest. They took the line of Fugou, Taikang, Tuocheng, and Guide.
Thinking that the wheat had been harvested, Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shengheng, who could get sufficient supplies along the way, were disappointed. In the past, a dragon went east to return to Germany, which was also the way it took. A dragon plundered all the way, and in order to have something to eat, he forced the people who were coerced to harvest the wheat that was not yet fully ripe, and almost cut off most of the wheat along the way. Seeing that the year's ration was gone, people had no choice but to follow the dragon and become a thief, so that they could eat a mouthful of food.
When they arrived in Taikang County, Zuo Mengeng's army rations were not much left, so they ordered Taikang County to raise grain and grass for the army. But the thieves robbed more than half of the grain, and the people followed a lot, and Taikang County had no way to raise good food for them. So Zuo Mengeng gave an order, and the soldiers dispersed and plundered Taikang County.
"A thief is like a comb, and a soldier is like a grate." When a dragon came, he was afraid of being chased by the official army, so he only dared to loot along the way. But Zuo Mengeng is different, he scatters people, and every village and town does not let go, and all places where there is food must be searched. At this time, the people who Taikang finally survived the spring famine went out in large numbers to escape the famine, which also gave Li Yan in Qixian County sufficient labor.
At the same time, in Xiayi County, Guide Province, there is also a war going on.
After the dragon arrived in Guide, he avoided the county seat in circles and took the small road to avoid being targeted by Gao Yuanheng's "Gao Chuangzi". After all, the name of "Gao Chuangzi" is still thunderous among the thieves around Guide, and he has not been defeated so far, so a dragon is also quite cautious.
And the "time migration" that failed to fight with Li Yan twice in Qixian is still one of the battalion leaders under Yilong. He is now eating fat, and he is not at all the lean appearance when he fled the famine. But the nickname of "Time Migration" has been called out, even if he is fat and becomes a pig, he can't change it anymore.
At this time, a dragon was caught up by Gao Yuanheng with troops, and a dragon surrounded Gao Yuanheng's men and horses with a large number of people, preparing to annihilate this "Gao Chuangzi" in one fell swoop, so as to make a name for himself.
Gao Yuanheng, who was in the encirclement, was not afraid, he pointed to a dragon banner in the east, and shouted to his subordinates: "Sons, this is where the Chinese army of the thief's 'dragon' is located, follow me and kill it!" Behead this thief and keep peace in the township! ”
"Kill the thief! Keep your hometown peaceful! The soldiers shouted loudly.
Push official Wang Shixiu reminded in a low voice: "General Gao, shouldn't we break through to the west?" If you go west, you will be able to go to the county seat of Xiayi. How can you go east? ”
Gao Yuanheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, although there are many of these thieves, most of them are just exiles who have been coerced, and there are not many thieves. As long as Wang Jianjun follows me, he will be fine. ”
He also waited for Wang Shixiu to reply, and after finishing speaking, he pointed his spear forward and shouted, "Sons! Kill me! "Ichima rushed towards the thieves.
With Gao Yuanheng's charge, his cavalry also followed with horses. The cavalrymen held snowy long knives in their hands, or bones and steel whips, and rushed forward with shouts, protecting Gao Yuanheng in the middle, and slowly formed an arrow-like assault formation. And Wang Shixiu had no choice but to keep up with the horse, he had no weapon in his hand, he had to spend all his energy on controlling the war horse, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.
One dragon only had a shield in the front row, and two pikemen in the back, their spears also sharpened their long sticks. In the back were the collected crossbowmen, and there were not many of them, only a row. Behind them are the elite men with all kinds of weapons and a few cavalry, these are the capital of his life, and he will be relieved if he is closest to him.
"Shoot the arrows!" With a pitch-shifting shout, a dragon's crossbowmen fired their arrows in a panic. The few arrows hit the rushing officers and soldiers, but only five or six were shot off their horses. The other arrows fell behind the horses, filling an area like straw.
After that, there was no more volleys, and the archers fired in a panic. But they still saw the galloping cavalry getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer.
The most nervous were the shield-bearers in front and those pikemen. Most of these people are homeless people who have come to eat and eat. They came here to take the lead in order to get a liter of food.
They trembled nervously as they watched the approaching cavalry. When the cavalry was about to rush to them, they threw away their shields, turned and ran backwards. The pikemen in the back are the same, throw away the spear and run. The crossbowmen behind them were still somewhat disciplined, at least they hadn't thrown their crossbows away, and when they ran backwards, they didn't run directly backwards, but to the sides, bypassing the rogue soldiers behind them.
The dragon on the horse saw that the formation in front of him had collapsed, and knew that it was useless to block any longer, so he pulled out his horse and fled. His banner retreated, and the thieves on several other sides began to flee.
Gao Yuanheng, who was riding on the horse, lightly handed out the spear, stabbed an escaped rogue, and then slightly pressed upward, the spear bent, picked up the rogue, threw it into the group of rogues in front, and knocked down three or four. Then he rode forward, and then lightly picked up a thief and flew out. The thieves let out a miserable cry.
Wang Shixiu followed closely behind Gao Yuanheng, hiding his body among the cavalry, and witnessed this bloody battle with his own eyes.
The "time migration" encircled in the south also began to retreat. Ever since he competed with Li Yan, he realized the importance of the military formation. After once again recruiting a group of men, they continued to train their men. In order to make his subordinates obey orders, every time he robbed something, he didn't want a penny, and his things were all stolen by himself. He trains with his men every time. Although he is not very knowledgeable about military formations, he just paints cats and tigers, but the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is second only to the personal guard battalion of the big boss among the many battalions of a dragon.
He led his men to chase after the banner of the great master. Seeing a group of cavalrymen not far away slashing and killing with impunity, he ordered: "Crossbowmen line up, come and fire a salvo!" ”
His men were quickly lined up, and after he gave the order, a row of arrows flew past. "Time Shift" didn't look at the effect, and led his men to chase after the banner of a dragon.
And Gao Yuanheng, who was killing the thief, was an arrow in the right rib, so he had to rein in his troops and stop the pursuit.
