Chapter 17 Jeju Officers and Soldiers

Here, He Guan suffered a defeat, and Huang An, the envoy of the Jeju regiment, did not know about it, and still led the troops from Yuncheng County to Shijie Village. Huang An did not put Chao Gai and others in his eyes, and after leaving Yuncheng County, he did not send a horse to kill Shijie Village.

When he was about to arrive at Shijie Village, Huang An also encountered a defeated army scattered on the road, and only then did he know that He Tao was defeated and disappeared. This made Huang An in a dilemma, and he didn't know what the enemy's situation was, and he was afraid that he would be accused of being afraid of the enemy.

After thinking about it again and again, Huang An sent his troops back to ask for orders, and he led people to camp outside the village. While recovering his spirits, he gathered the defeated soldiers and inquired about the news.

This place is already the range of Liangshan, in order to prevent the night attack of Liangshan people, Huang An buried the antlers deeply, sprinkled the iron thistle terrestris, and arranged sentry posts inside and outside the camp.

This night, the Liangshan soldiers and horses did not come, but Huang An also slept unsteadily, and he was worried all night, for fear that the Liangshan soldiers and horses would attack the camp.

"Report ......" Look at the dawn, Huang An had just slept peacefully, and a loud shout sounded outside the tent.

Huang An shuddered, sat up suddenly, got up barefoot, and ordered the people outside to come in. "Come in!"

"General Yu, the Liangshan thieves have come out of Shuibo and lined up outside Shuibo to fight with us. It's up to you! ”

"Huh?" Huang An looked at the soldier who reported the news in disbelief and asked, "Is the Liangshan thief really out of the water?" How many enemies do you know? ”

"Yes, the villain saw the Liangshan thieves get down from several big boats, and the thieves on horseback are afraid that there are not more than two hundred, and there are three or four hundred people without horses."

"Haha! Blame them for their bad luck! Huang An heard that there were only five or six hundred people, and laughed: "This gang of thieves is also rampant, but it saves us a lot of trouble." The order went down, and the whole army assembled. ”

Huang An pursued Chao Gai and others this time, and brought enough men and horses from Jeju, a full number of people from Sandu, 1,500 people. Then he stopped in Yuncheng and requisitioned 500 Xiang troops, and then moved to Shijie Village. Even last night and this morning, there were two or three hundred of He Tao's subordinates. His own officers and soldiers are more than four times that of the other party, and Huang An is full of confidence, and he only thinks that meritorious service is in front of him.

"Yes."

Soon, the order to assemble the generals spread throughout the battalion, and the generals at all levels took action.

Huang An's original plan today was to send people to collect boats, and when there were enough boats, he would find some nearby fishermen and go to the water to find out the truth. In this way, whether it is entering Liangshan or retreating to the city, you can know yourself and your opponent.

However, these things cannot be completed in a period of time, so Huang An did not urge the soldiers and horses of each battalion, but let them recharge their energy and prepare to fight in the coming day.

After hearing the order, the officers and men of each battalion hurriedly began to put on their clothes. After tossing for half an hour, Huang An took 2,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp and came to the place where the soldiers and horses were arrayed in Liangshan, leaving only 300 soldiers and horses on duty last night to guard the camp.

The soldiers and horses of Liangshan had already been waiting in an open field outside the berth for a long time, and the horse army was in the center, and the two wings were infantry.

This time, Wang Lun only ordered two teams of well-trained horse troops, the main general Leopard Head Lin Chong and the deputy general Shi Jin. The three teams of infantry were led by Guanghui, Lu Zhishen, and Li Kui. Yesterday's Zhu Gui and Sanruan brothers were on standby in the water pool, and Ma Ling was responsible for delivering the news.

In front of the Chinese army, Wang Lun was wearing a golden silk fish scale armor, and the horse king was thunderous under his crotch, and he had a two-point steel gun in his hand.

One person on the left, the inlaid treasure helmet is worn steadily, and the polished silver armor is heavily draped. Suluo robe is embroidered with branches, and the lion is densely built with Qiong Yao. The spear of the eight snakes was stiff, and the frost horses neighed frequently. The mountains are all calling Xiao Zhang Fei, and the leopard head Lin Chong is.

There is a person on the right, with long tassels floating on his helmet, sprinkling scarlet one one after another, and spitting out Changhong proudly in his chest. The robes are cut in brocade, and the armor is gilded with copper. A sword is like snow practice, and the heart is full of majesty, and the left and right highlight the hero. The majestic Shi Dalang, a good man with nine dragons.

The three marchers, each with their own weapons, stood behind.

The short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu and the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi were also clamoring to come, but they were stopped by the cautious Wang Lun, and asked the two to lead the naval army to be ready to meet the Ma Bu Army at any time. Yesterday, the naval army also fought a battle, and today the horse infantry army showed its might.

Looking at the officers and soldiers coming in the distance, Guanghui suggested: "Brother, the officers and soldiers have not yet gained a stable foothold, so let's rush over?" ”

Li Kui brandished the board axe, jumped to his feet and said: "These handful of birds are finally here, grandpa is impatient to wait, and he will definitely kill more later!" "Yesterday, the navy went to war, and he didn't have his share, and he also complained about Wang Lun. Today, Wang Lun ordered his general, and Li Kui was full of joy.

Wang Lun looked at the officers and soldiers who were slowly approaching two or three miles away, shook his head and said: "The officers and soldiers are prepared, as soon as we move, they can hold their ground." rushed over, but I was afraid that the casualties would be small. We are waiting to show the enemy weakness, and it is the right thing to defend and counterattack! ”

Lin Chong said with a smile: "This is a good idea, lest a charge, those guys will flee again, and the killing will not be happy." ”

Lu Zhishen also said: "Those generals are pampered on weekdays, but they have already abandoned their martial arts, and they don't show their ability to kill them." ”

Looking at the relaxed appearance of his subordinates, Wang Lun couldn't help but feel that the artist was bold. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were in formation, Wang Lun calmed his mind and gave a loud order. "Guanghui, Lu Zhishen!"

"In!"

"The two of you lead the people of Pontus and line up on the spot!" As soon as Wang Lunjun gave the order, the two of them immediately gathered the whole city, with the spear in front, and the soldier half-squatted, holding the gun on the ground.

If the enemy is outnumbered, we must wait for the opportunity to move, and we must be cautious in defense.

"Lin Chong, Shi Jin! The two of you led the Pondu cavalry, lined up ten feet behind on both sides of the main formation, and once the enemy attacked the main formation, you two immediately detoured behind the enemy's back! ”

The power of the cavalry is not in the defense, nor in the melee, but in the charge. The distance of ten zhang allowed the cavalry not to be surrounded by enemy troops, but also to give the cavalry room to charge.

"Li Kui led all the sword and shield hands, and when the enemy's impact on the main formation was blocked, he immediately strangled him! Ma Ling will take twenty soldiers and follow me to supervise the formation, and those who dare to take a step back! Kill on the spot! ”

Wang Lun's voice was violent, and the soldiers shuddered when they heard it. Military law is ruthless, who dares to take it lightly?

Two thousand officers and soldiers came in formation, and the battlefield was suddenly slaughtered. Guanghui and Lu Zhishen urged their subordinates to defend, while Li Kui brandished an axe to encourage morale.

At this time, Lin Chong went up the mountain for the first battle, and he also tried hard to find flaws in the official army, and wanted to give the official army a ruthless!

Wang Lun calmed the somewhat restless war horse under his crotch, and looked at the approaching officers and soldiers.

Although Huang An is not a straw bag, he still cannot change the bad habits formed by the Song army in the past hundred years. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, except for the continuous conflict between the west and the Western Xia, there were no major wars on the rest of the borders.

A hundred years of nothingness also made the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty no battlefield grinding, especially when today's son succeeded to the throne, the traitorous villains were reused, and the civil and military officials only thought about collecting money.

Gao Yu created a precedent for paying money to avoid school review, and the forbidden army in various state capitals also imitated it effectively, and the soldiers took some money to bribe the officials to be exempted from school review, and they did some business outside on weekdays to supplement their families.

Local officials are also happy to see this, and the more they do business, the more tax they can collect.

An important indicator of the Song Dynasty's assessment officials is the completion of taxes, and those who pay taxes on time or in excess of taxes every year can reduce the grinding time according to the number of taxes. In addition to normal taxes, local officials can also pay "envy" to the imperial court.

The envy surplus was originally supposed to be the surplus of local financial expenditures, but in order to curry favor with the emperor's ministers, many local officials set up clever names, exploited the people, and paid "envy surplus" to the imperial court, seeking to be promoted and rich.

Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty turned a blind eye to the unscrupulous work of the forbidden army. Except for the five roads in Guanxi, where there are frequent wars, the entire Great Song Dynasty is like this, how can Huang An avoid vulgarity.

Therefore, the phalanx of Jeju officers and soldiers was still uneven. This is still the officers and soldiers slowly coming, if they are allowed to rush to kill, I am afraid that this phalanx will collapse in an instant.

Although there were many officers and soldiers, before leaving the camp, Huang An promised a heavy reward. However, when they saw the well-organized Liangshan soldiers and horses in front of them, many officers and soldiers suddenly trembled their legs. Some of them have become small people in Shengdou, and even the ruffians are just bullying and bullying the people in the city, and they have seen such battles when they have seen such battles.

About two hundred paces away from the men and horses of Liangshan, Huang An ordered the archers to shoot their positions.
