Although a plan is in place, it does not mean that it will be implemented immediately.

Xu Guanzhong was making preparations before the battle, while waiting for the best time.

In a military camp thirty miles outside Haiyan County, after Guo Zhongxun heard the spies' announcement, he shouted excitedly: "What, I have found the traces of those thieves!" ”

For more than a month, Guo Zhongxun was really annoyed in his heart.

The whereabouts of a group of thieves are strange, not to mention robbing houses and houses, not even letting go of rice.

not only laid down two county seats, robbed hundreds of thousands of silver, but also stole thousands of acres of land.

Guo Zhongxun was under a lot of pressure, but unfortunately this gang of thieves was very cunning, Guo Zhongxun sent one or two thousand people to turn over Haiyan and Jiaxing, but he didn't even see a single figure.

Seeing that Yang Jian's urging was getting tighter and tighter, and even sent people to ask him two or three times a day, Guo Zhongxun was about to be driven crazy by this gang of thieves.

Now that he heard that he had finally found the traces of these bandits, Guo Zhongxun shouted urgently: "Where are those bandits now?" ”

The Song army scout hurriedly replied: "General Hui, in Tongyuan!" ”

"How many of those thieves are there?"

"The little ones are afraid of alarming those thieves, but they just look at it from a distance, about one or two thousand people!"

"If you do a good job, as long as the information is accurate, you will be rewarded!" Guo Zhongxun shouted.

When the Song army spies heard this, they shouted excitedly: "General Xie! General Xie! ”

Guo Zhongxun shouted at the deputy general Han Shizhong: "Mobilize the military horses, this time I must destroy all these thieves!" ”

"Order!"

With the order issued, the Song army immediately killed Tongyuan Town, preparing to surround and eliminate this gang of thieves in one fell swoop.

Guo Zhongxun commanded the Chinese army, riding a horse and flicking a horsewhip at the same time.

He scolded fiercely: "Damn a bunch of rats! If Lao Tzu catches you, you must all be beheaded for public display! ”

Speeding up the march, Guo Zhongxun led the Song army to Tongyuan, Han Shizhong pointed to a rice field not far away with countless torches flashing and shouted: "General, look, those thieves are stealing rice again!" ”

Guo Zhongxun rode on a horse, and looked at the thousands of figures in the rice field, and he shouted fiercely: "These rat thieves have finally been caught by Lao Tzu." The order went down and outflanked the past in three ways. Wipe out all these thieves! ”

As a shout sounded, in a moment, the 10,000-strong army suddenly divided into three ways and rushed forward.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, the thieves who were rejoicing in the rice fields raising their heads and saw countless officers and soldiers killed in the distance, and these thieves immediately screamed.

"Oh no, I was discovered by the officers and soldiers, run away!"

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

……

The thieves didn't even care about the rice that had been harvested, dropped the sickle in their hands, and ran away desperately.

Seeing that the thieves had escaped, Guo Zhongxun hurriedly shouted loudly, "Hurry, catch up, this time we must not let these thieves escape!" ”

Song Jun is already working very hard, but these thieves don't know what to eat, their feet are strong, Song Jun always looks at the figure behind the thieves, but he just can't catch up with them.

After chasing 4 or 5 miles all the way, Guo Zhongxun couldn't help but become more and more anxious. Once you miss this time, if you make these thieves vigilant, it will be even more difficult to track down the traces of these thieves in the future.

"Faster! Speed up! Guo Zhongxun urged.

"General, it's not a way to chase it like this!" Han Shizhong persuaded him.

"Humph! If you don't speed up and let go of the enemy army, Master Taifu will blame you, can you take it! Hugh said more, we must exterminate these thieves today! Guo Zhongxun glared at Han Shizhong angrily and shouted in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, General!" Han Shizhong replied helplessly.

After chasing for two more hours, those thieves were probably really tired of running.

They abruptly turned around, ran up a hill, occupied a key road, and defended the mountain.

Guo Zhongxun saw the great joy and hurriedly shouted: "These thieves are tired, quickly surround this mountain!" ”

Song Jun saw that this gang of thieves finally stopped running, they were already very tired after running for most of the day, and now seeing that this gang of thieves finally stopped running, they were also a little excited, and surrounded this small mountain.

As soon as they were surrounded, Guo Zhongxun immediately shouted: "Kill, attack and slaughter these thieves!" ”

Song Jun heard dragging his tired body and holding knives and guns and began to climb the mountain vigorously, and before he was halfway up the mountain, countless stones flew down from the mountain, and many Song soldiers were smashed by the flying stones and their heads were broken and bleeding, and a few were even directly stoned to death.

Under the attack of the flying stones, the Song army retreated like a tide.

Seeing that the Song army was easily repulsed after the first attack, Guo Zhongxun roared angrily: "Attack, continue to attack, whoever dares to escape this time, I will kill him first!" ”

Han Shizhong hurriedly persuaded him: "General, the men under you have been running all night, and they are all tired. Anyway, these thieves are surrounded by our army, so it's better to rest for one night first, and wait until dawn before it is too late to attack! ”

When Guo Zhongxun heard it, he thought about it and shouted indignantly: "And let these thieves live one more night!" The order went down, and the army set up five villages at the foot of the mountain, and surrounded this mountain for me, so that not even a bird could fly out! ”

Han Shizhong hurriedly shouted, "Yes, General!" ”

……

In the city of Hangzhou, in the early morning, hundreds of Song soldiers yawned and opened the city gate to let the people in and out.

Tick...... Tick......

Suddenly, a crisp sound of horses' hooves approached from far to near!

The Esong soldiers guarding the city gate immediately became vigilant.

Under the greeting of the soldiers at the head of the city, the soldiers under the city tower were also ready to collect the suspension bridge and close the city gate.

After a while, a man and a rider appeared in sight.

The Song soldiers at the head of the city saw it and hurriedly shouted: "There is only one person, oh, it seems to be his own person!" ”

Hearing that there was only one person, the Song soldiers under the city immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the Song soldiers in charge of the suspension bridge let go of their hands.

What is so scary about a person, do you think that everyone is Changshan Zhao Zilong, and he has the ability to ride alone!

Soon, the horse had galloped to the gate of the West City, and there were many blood stains on the people on the horse.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were about to step forward to ask questions, but when they saw the figure of the man, he took out a token and shouted: "Urgent military situation!" Those who dare to stop will be killed! ”

Hearing that person shouting like this, wherever these Song soldiers dared to stop them, they all hurriedly dispersed and let the soldier into the city.

The Song soldier rode all the way to the mansion of Yang Jian, the military supervisor of the East Road, and was "escorted" to Yang Jian by the ten guards guarding Yang Jian's door.

The place where Yang Jian is staying now used to be the mansion of King Qian, and it is quite magnificent.

When Yang Jian stayed in Hangzhou, he saw that this mansion was good, so he chose his temporary mansion here.

Yang Mansion, when Yang Jian, the imperial prince and the overseer of the East Road Army, was sitting in the main seat, listening to this partial general who suddenly ran to report the urgent military situation with a solemn face.

"My lord, the little one is Zhang Qing, an envoy under General Guo. General Guo searched for the thieves in Haiyan, but the thieves were very vicious. Under General Guo's strong attack, there were still hundreds of thieves who escaped from the encirclement and fled towards Hangzhou. General Guo called the villain's fast horse to come, and begged the adults to send troops to surround these thieves, so as to eliminate them in one fell swoop! ”

After Yang Jian listened, his expression did not move, staring at Zhang Qing, who was kneeling on one knee under the seat. "You say there are hundreds of thieves who have escaped from the siege? How many thieves have escaped! ”

"About two or three hundred!" Zhang Qing hurriedly shouted.

These thieves have been harming for a long time, and although the officials are not afraid of the impeachment of those local officials, it is a troublesome matter after all.

Only two or three hundred thieves escaped, but there are not many, but they still take the opportunity to eradicate this gang of fugitives, and save themselves from worrying about these gangs of thieves!

After Yang Jian pondered for a moment, he suddenly made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "As the overseer of the East Road, how can this official let the thieves run around and endanger the people without caring about it!" Don't worry, this official will call someone to send troops to capture this gang of thieves! ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly shouted, "Lord Xie! ”

Yang Jian shouted: "The military situation is like fire, General Chen, you will immediately lead 2,000 people to help, you must capture those thieves!" ”

"The Last General's Order!" The next deputy general, Chen Song, immediately replied.

Chen Song ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately followed the messenger who reported the news out of the city to besiege the deserters.

Chen Song led the troops in front and asked Zhang Qing, who was half a position behind. "Envoy Li, how many miles are there to get to those bandits?"

"Back to the general, I estimate that there will be 20 miles to meet those thieves!" Zhang Qing replied.

"It's just that the general ......" Zhang Qing paused, turned around and looked at the 2,000 Song soldiers behind him, and said with a worried face: "The general's subordinates have also driven more than 30 miles, and they are a little tired, do you see if you let them trim up, so that they have the strength to fight with those thieves!" ”

When Chen Song heard this, he also turned around and looked at the group of people under him, and saw that many of them were indeed a little tired.

Chen Song reined in his horse and shouted, "The whole army obeys the order, rests in place for half an hour, and then continues to hurry." ”

After driving more than 30 miles, Song Bing heard the general's order, immediately cheered, found a place on the side of the road to sit down to rest, and drank saliva.

Seeing that many of his subordinates were resting bare-chested and bare-backed, that Zhang Qingjun envoy rushed all the way to report, and now he has traveled another 30 miles, but he can still not relax and be vigilant around.

Although he has a war horse as a mount, it can also be seen that his stamina is good, and if he exercises a little, he may not be able to become a good helper.

Thinking of this, Chen Song couldn't help but love Zhang Qing. He said: "Zhang Junenvoy, I think he is also a talent, but serving as a mere military envoy is really too condescending. Are you interested in coming to our army as the commander of the horse army! ”

When Zhang Qing heard Chen Song's words, he immediately stood up with a happy face, and shouted: "Lord Xie values it, of course the little one is willing!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Qing agreed so quickly, Chen Song also shouted happily: "Okay! After this battle, I will ask your general!! ”

After resting for half an hour, Chen Song gave an order, and those Song soldiers stood up procrastinatingly, and continued to hurry with their knives and guns.

When he ran for more than ten or twenty miles, Zhang Qing suddenly pointed ahead and shouted: "Look, general, it's those fugitives!" ”

Chen Song looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Qing, and saw one or two hundred people with weapons and disheveled clothes running from the road ahead.

The gang also saw Song Jun, and one of the thieves exclaimed: "It's not good, it's officers and soldiers!" Run! ”

With this shout, the thieves immediately turned around and ran towards the path on the side of the road.

"General, if you let them escape and hide in the mountains, it will be difficult to exterminate them again in the future!" Zhang Qing shouted anxiously.

Chen Song immediately shouted: "Kill!" Kill these thieves! ”

With the order, Song Bing followed Chen Song and immediately pulled his steps and chased after the gang of fugitives.

When the fugitives saw the officers and soldiers chasing after them, they ran in more and more panic.

Seeing that those thieves fled in a hurry, Chen Song no longer doubted it, and pursued them even harder.

In Hangzhou City, Chen Song led his troops to run for nearly five hours. The 5,000 Liangshan Army, transported by the navy's ships, sailed from Hangzhou Bay into the Qiantang River, disembarked at Yanguan County, and then went straight to Hangzhou City.

Xu Guanzhong didn't think about attacking Hangzhou City with a combination of internal and external, or a sneak attack, but after thinking about it again, he still gave up.

Because Hangzhou City is not like other small cities, in addition to the inner and outer cities, it also has an urn city.

If you want to sneak into the city, then there must not be many Liangshan soldiers, even if you barely grab and control a city gate.

Once a jack gate at the city gate is lowered, and the enemy is outnumbered, then those soldiers who have infiltrated the city will become turtles in the urn.

Because of the solidity of Hangzhou City, Xu Guanzhong gave up the trick of seizing the city and decided to attack the city head-on.

Yang Mansion, Zhe Kecun hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Lord Yu, according to the report of the spies, a group of thieves suddenly appeared and are heading towards Hangzhou City!" ”

Hearing the promise of saving, all the people in the mansion changed color.

Yang Jian was even more shocked and shouted: "What! Guo Zhongxun, isn't he leading troops to encircle and suppress thieves? Where did these thieves come from? ”

He replied, "I don't know, but now is not the time for me to ask about this. The last general thought that at this time, he should immediately send someone to inform General Guo and General Yang, let them return to the division, and at the same time prepare to hold on! ”

When Yang Jian heard this, he hurriedly asked, "General Zhe, can you be sure that you can hold it?" ”

Zhi Kecun confidently shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, it's just a mere 5,000 people." There will be an end, and the city of Hangzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Seeing that Zhi Kecun was so confident, he thought that there were only 5,000 thieves, but the Song soldiers had 8,000 people, and there was a strong city in Hangzhou. Yang Jian gave up the idea of escaping at that time.

He shouted: "Guo Zhongxun misunderstood me, quickly send someone to inform Guo Zhongxun and Yang Song to return to the division immediately." General Zhe, the lives of this official and more than 200,000 people in Hangzhou City are all in your hands. I hope you will be cautious in everything, as long as you wait for the army to return to help, after the siege of Hangzhou is lifted, you will be a great achievement, I will definitely ask the emperor to ask for credit for you! ”

Zhi Kecun immediately shouted: "Lord Xie, the military situation is urgent, and the last general will go to prepare the equipment to defend the city!" ”

Yang Jian hurriedly shouted: "You go quickly, but if you need it, you can open your mouth, and this official will prepare it for you." There is only one requirement for this official, you must keep it! ”

Zhen Ke Cun dangjin shouted with his hand: "The last general will respect the order!" ”

After the Liangshan army arrived in Hangzhou City, they lined up in battle.

Amid the earth-shattering drums of war, nearly 5,000 Liangshan troops launched a fierce attack on the city of Hangzhou.

"Rolling stones, rolling oil, ready!"

On the city tower, he stayed in Hangzhou, responsible for guarding Zhe Kecun, while looking at the situation under the city, and loudly giving orders to the city guards.

Under the cover of about 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, 1,000 archers attacked, and quickly poured waves of arrows on the city tower not far away, suppressing the Song soldiers at the head of the city.

At the same time, more than 3,000 other soldiers carried dirt, logs, and stones, running back and forth, throwing these debris into the moat.

Soon the moat was blocked by the Liangshan army, and the newly built twenty building cars and ten rushing cars began to attack the city gate.

As soon as they approached the city gate, they were pushed under the city by the rain of arrows and stones at the head of the city, and began to hit the city gate.

"Archers are fast, suppress the enemy's archers!"

"The others smashed it, poured the boiling oil, and poured it on those rushing cars!"

Zhe Kecun patrolled back and forth at the head of the city with a sword in hand, and at the same time kept shouting angrily.

Song Bing aimed a few barrels of boiling oil at the rushing car that was crashing into the city and poured it hard, and the hot oil fell on the rushing car, although the boiling oil could directly scald people to death, although the Liang Shan soldiers in the rushing car felt scorched, but there was no danger to their lives at all.

They were still pushing their carts and ramming the gates.

He didn't expect the boiling oil to destroy the car directly, he shouted: "Throw the firewood down, throw the torch!" ”

Dozens of bundles of firewood were thrown down, along with a dozen torches, and the fire burst into flames with the help of boiling oil.

The boiling oil had no choice but to rush the Liang Shan soldiers in the car, but at this time, even the wooden rush car was on fire, and Liang Shan soldiers suddenly ran out of the rushing car and rolled on the ground desperately to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Although the Liangshan soldiers were very well prepared, first using archers to suppress the Song soldiers at the head of the city, and at the same time there were rushing cars and building cars to help, but the Song soldiers defending the city occupied a geographical advantage.

The arrows of the city were like locusts, and they kept shooting down. Stones, rolling logs, and arrows kept devouring the lives of Liangshan soldiers.

At the foot of the city wall, countless smashed and burned ladders and the wreckage of rushing cars were piled up everywhere, confirming the fierceness of the siege battle.

A few Liangshan recruits couldn't stand this hellish scene and turned around and ran away in fright.

Without saying a word, the Overseer Yang Zhi assassinated them all. Yang Zhi raised the bloody spear and shouted: "Those who retreat will not be killed!" ”

Seeing Yang Zhi's cold eyes, some of the originally wavering Liangshan soldiers could only grit their teeth and continue to attack the city!

Although the combat effectiveness of the Song soldiers was not strong, under the command of the main general, the Song soldiers also stabilized the defense line at the head of the city.

Before the war, he was full of confidence and felt that these thieves were just grass bandits. If it weren't for Yang Jian, he would have wanted to lead his troops out of the city.

But in less than two hours, the fierce combat effectiveness of this gang of thieves surprised Zhen Kecun.

Now he is extremely hopeful that Guo Swoxun and Yang Song can lead the troops back as soon as possible. ()
