The golden gunner Xu Ning just rode away like this, without the slightest nostalgia. Where is there such a simple thing to surrender, Chao Gai is unwilling to harm people like Song Jiang.

Tang Long thanked Chao Gai repeatedly, and Chao Gai said: "No thanks, although I appreciate Xu Jiaotou's martial arts and personality, I can't ruin his family in order to leave Xu Jiaotou." The big war is coming, let's not think about it, work here for a few days and then go to Dongping Mansion to repair weapons for our Northern Route Army. ”

Tang Long said: "Brother rest assured, all the craftsmen brought are skilled craftsmen, except for the steam engine machine tools, the others are brought." ”

"That's good, you go down to work."

There was nothing wrong all night, and Chao Gai did not send troops to attack Gao Yu's camp at night, and Gao Yu did not send troops to attack Chao Gai's camp. Even the patrol cavalry that went out did not exceed ten miles from the camp, and there was no fighting.

Before dawn in the early morning, Wu Yong came, and his soldiers woke Chao Gai from the bed.

Wu Yong was very awake and had no sleep. Wu Yongdao: "I feel that since Gao Yu intends to consume the South Route Army and the North Route Army, the South Route Army has been defeated, and Gao Yu has achieved the purpose of consumption, but the North Route Army has not moved, presumably the pressure on the North Route Army will be very great, and it still needs to integrate forces and need more support." ”

Chao Gai secretly said that Wu is very good at using this head melon seeds, and it seems that he hasn't slept in the middle of the night. The main commander of the Jeju Army's North Road Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Army is Wu Song, the military division is Wu Song, the deputy general is Huang Xin, and the cavalry and infantry add up to almost 5,000 people.

Chao Gai said: "This question has already been said, it is certain to support Dongping Mansion, who do you think is appropriate to send and how many troops to lead?" ”

"Although the commander of the martial arts is strong in martial arts, there is nothing to say about the training, but he has not experienced battles, and he also lacks experience in the imperial army, although Huang Xin can make up for some shortcomings, but Huang Xin is brave and insufficient, and I am afraid that he has no advantage over the fierce generals from the Daimyo Mansion. Therefore, we need to send a fierce general over, but in this way, our troops are not enough to be idle, and at the same time, we have to let the navy strengthen coordination, and when necessary, the navy artillery will go ashore to support Dongping Mansion. Wu Yong said.

Chao Gai nodded: "That's true, the Daimyo's army is the elite of the Hebei border army, and there are countless brave generals under the general soldier Li Cheng, I heard that there is a pioneer in his army, called the urgent pioneer Suo Cao, who must be the first in every battle, which is very good." Coupled with the military horses under Hu Yanzhuo's command, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong.

At dawn, the tent was raised, the three-way war drums sounded, and the generals finished worshipping. Chao Gai looked around and said, "The Northern Road Coalition Army, composed of Li Cheng and Hu Yanzhuo, the commanders of the Daimyo Mansion, is known as a 50,000 army, although there is some moisture, but in fact there are still 30,000 troops. Our Dongping Mansion army is only a few thousand, so I decided to send troops to reinforce Dongping Mansion. ”

The generals said: "Yes, we can't let the Northern Route Army put too much pressure." ”

Chao Gai ordered: "Niu Gao, Yang Zhi." ”

"The end will be, the end will be." Niu Gao and Yang Zhi were listed.

"The two of you will lead your troops to Dongping Mansion immediately, and you will be the deputy general of Wu Song for the time being."

"Yes." Niu Gao and Yang Zhi received the order to transfer troops.

Each battalion of soldiers and horses of the two headquarters is only 500 cavalry, don't underestimate these 500 cavalry, although light cavalry, but they belong to cavalry archers, they are all light knives and fast horses, and they can shoot arrows on galloping horses.

Immediately, the two led a thousand cavalry and quickly rushed to Dongping Mansion. It is not far from the boundary of Tianfu to Dongping Mansion, two hundred miles away, and I stayed on the road for a night that night, and then walked dozens of miles to get up in the morning. As soon as the fireheads had finished cooking, and the soldiers were feeding the horses, the patrolling soldiers sounded the horn of vigilance.

As soon as Niu Gao and Yang Zhi heard that this was the clarion call for an enemy attack, could it be that the enemy's army had come here? I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately gathered the army and rushed out of the camp.

I saw a cavalry from the northeast to kill, the number of people is quite small, but the scale of five or six hundred people, at first glance it is an old-fashioned cavalry, with spears as the main weapon, there are a lot of flags, Niu Gao has good eyes, and said: "This is the arrival of the Daimyo's army, and there is a word on the banner, and Battalion Commander Yang knows what kind of person he is." ”

Yang Zhidao: "The Sprinkle family often heard people in Tokyo that there was a pioneer in the Daimyo Mansion, called Suo Chao, the pioneer of urgency, and it was possible that this person came. ”

As he was talking, the cavalry on the opposite side arrived, and both sides shot at each other. The two groups of cavalry stopped on the flat ground and looked at each other from a distance.

Niu Gao urged the horse and said, "I'll go and ask who is here." ”

Niu Gao, this kid is also in a hurry, and he came up and shook his double gong and scolded: "What part of the cavalry on the other side is, why did you come to spy on our army's camp, and we haven't had breakfast yet." ”

A general on the opposite side shouted: "We are the vanguard of the Northern Army of the Jeju Army, and the pioneer of my family is a famous general of the Daimyo's Mansion, and Suo Chao's is it." ”

Niu Gao said: "What are you doing here, do you want to fight or do you want to eat?" ”

"Haha, of course I'm here to fight, and I can invite you black boy to drink." The general on the other side smiled.

Niu Gao is most annoyed by others saying that he is black, although he is the same as Li Kui.

Niu Gao shouted: "Come here, I promise not to kill you." ”

Immediately, this partial general rushed over, carrying a big knife, showing off his might.

Niu Gao said: "Come and pass the name." ”

"Zhou Jin is also, Suo Chao is my master, how about it, I'm afraid." It turned out that this person turned out to be Zhou Jin.

Niu Gao pouted: "Remember, my name is Niu Gao, see how I beat you." ”

Immediately Niu Gao killed a pair of double maces, bang, bang, bang, the two horses circled for a while, after three or five rounds, Niu Gao's psychology was low, this week Jin's martial arts are good, but it's just good, compared to Niu Gao. Immediately Niu Gao was broken, and the double mace slid down the knife bar, the speed was too fast, if Zhou Jin didn't let go, he would hit his wrist, and the frightened Zhou Jin quickly let go, and as soon as he let go, Niu Gao took the big knife.

Niu Gao put away the double hammer, slapped Zhou Jin with a big knife, knocked Zhou Jin's helmet off, slapped it on the back a few times, and scolded while patting: "Let you say I'm black, let you say I'm black, let me tell you, Li Kui is darker than me." ”

Just as he was enjoying the fight, a general rushed up with a big axe in his hand and shouted, "Zhou Jin retreats, I'll fight him." ”

Zhou Jin fled in embarrassment, Niu Gao looked very mighty, a big axe is also heavy, it doesn't seem to be simple, immediately stopped joking, threw Zhou Jin's big knife to the ground, put it in his hand, and asked: "It's a pioneer." ”

"Yes, it is this pioneer, thank you Battalion Commander Niu for your mercy, my apprentice is not good at learning, I will meet your double skills." Immediately, Suo Chao and Niu Gao fought together.
