Chapter 5 The Brave Tiger and Wolf Sweep the Evil Thief

Section 3: Sweep away

It is said that Gao Hongguang led the soldiers of the Yingyang Department to rush all the way, and it only took half an hour to arrive at the Shahe ferry. At this moment, the Shahe ferry, which was not very large, was already crowded with people, and more than 1,000 bandits who had rushed from Huashan had firmly controlled the place, and were struggling to dig trenches, block official roads, and dragged the only few ferries in the ferry to the shore, and were preparing to scuttle the ferry.

Gao Hongguang saw the chaotic ferry from afar, his heart was very anxious, and after reorganizing the formation a little, he shouted loudly: "Brothers! Kill the bandits with me and retake the ferry! Kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Take back the ferry!"

Four hundred and twenty iron horsemen roared loudly, and followed Gao Hongguang to rush towards more than a thousand bandits not far away.

At this time, the bandits in the ferry had also spotted the hundreds of officers and iron horsemen rushing over, and one of the leaders shouted loudly, hurriedly commanding his bandits to pile up some sundries in front, and beckoned his subordinates to form a tight formation and prepare for battle.

However, after all, the bandits are just a group of rabble, and it may be okay to rob the passing people on weekdays, or bully the laxly armed guards; But in the face of the elite battalion iron cavalry composed of heroes, these bandits can't get on the stage!

In the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry soldiers of the Eagle Yang Department had rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps from the ferry, but the bandit leader was still roaring, and the surrounding subordinates were still running chaotically, and more than a thousand bandits were preparing for a long time, not even a simple formation was arranged, only a small part of the bandits stood in one place roughly, forming a formation of almost no queue.

Gao Hongguang was ecstatic when he saw this, and said secretly: "Okay! It seems that the first battle is mine! Then, Gao Hongguang yelled: "Speed up! Rush in! ”

As soon as the words fell, four hundred and twenty iron cavalry soldiers rushed headlong into the large group of bandits, and immediately knocked the bandits who had not been organized together on their backs, killed and wounded, and the small formation also collapsed at once.

Gao Hongguang rode his horse and rushed to the front of the riding array, the steel spear in his hand almost didn't have to dance, he only needed to lift it forward to harvest one life after another; The surrounding bandits gathered too densely under the command of their leader, but they were not able to restrain the cavalry assault well, and the result was that they could only be massacred by the horses and wantonly slaughtered.

Soon, Gao Hongguang saw that the number of bandits in front of him had become very sparse, and he knew that his side was about to break through the so-called "formation" of the bandits, so he yelled: "The whole army is to the right, the whole army is to the right!" Rush again! ”

After hearing the commander's order, the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Division turned their horses' heads one after another, and the entire cavalry formation changed direction in an instant, and once again killed the bandits who had begun to disperse.

The leader saw the iron cavalry of the officers and soldiers who were killed again from a distance, and he was immediately frightened, and he had already scolded Wen Xiangjiao in his heart: "Didn't you say that you are just here to intercept a group of routs, and they are not much stronger than those tun troops who can only farm!" How could such a group of tigers and wolves come out now! ”

Before he had time to think about it, the leader saw that the general situation was gone, so he began to look for a way out, wanting to escape with some of his henchmen so that he could make a comeback in the future. But the surroundings were so chaotic, full of panicked bandits, full of routs with broken hearts; It's like more than a thousand fat pigs being preyed upon by hundreds of fierce tigers, and suddenly scattered, and the entire Shahe ferry is already in chaos.

At this moment, the iron cavalry led by Gao Hongguang arrived again. This time, Gao Hongguang Pegasus passed by the leader's side, and the gun in his hand instantly slid past the leader's neck, and suddenly a stream of blood spurted out. And Gao Hongguang had already led the iron cavalry soldiers to leave, leaving only flesh and blood and corpses in the ground.

As the leader was killed, the remaining bandits completely blew up their nests, and all of them fled in all directions screaming, and even jumped directly into the bottomless sand river, and were carried away by the turbulent river after a few puffs.

Seeing this, Gao Hongguang shouted: "Spread it all out for me, scatter and kill the enemy with the whistle as a unit, and judge the merit with the first level!" ”

After speaking, the more than 400 soldiers around Gao Hongguang all dispersed in a hurry, and divided into several waves to kill in all directions. In an instant, a new round of slaughter was staged again, full of galloping iron cavalry, everywhere there were wailing scattered bandits, and the small Shahe ferry seemed to have turned into a slaughterhouse.

Gao Hongguang was so good at killing, the steel gun in his hand was full of blood, so slippery that he almost couldn't hold it. At this moment, bursts of dust rose on the official road in the distance, Gao Hongguang looked over suddenly, and saw a Ming battle flag come into view, and then a Liu Zijiang flag was also beaten.

Gao Hongguang shouted: "The general has been killed, brothers work hard, kill all these bandits!" ”

The soldiers of the Yingyang Department rose up to kill the enemy, and soon killed all the bandits at the Shahe crossing, leaving only a small number of bandits to flee to the distant mountains and forests.

And Liu Yunwei, who had already arrived, saw the bloody battlefield from afar, and was a little surprised to see that Gao Hongguang had rushed to his front and killed more than a thousand bandits, and secretly said in his heart: "This Gao Hongguang is really a general!" Then, Liu Yunwei ordered Wen Poyu to join the battle group with the soldiers of the Changshui Division, pursue the remnants of the fleeing bandits, and command the rest of the soldiers from the headquarters to occupy the ferry.

After the general trend was decided, Gao Hongguang rode his horse to Liu Yunwei and said: "General Qiyu, he did not disgrace his mission, and led his troops to defeat more than 1,000 bandits who stole and occupied the ferry, and the specific number of beheadings is still being calculated, and the casualties of our department are less than 50 people!" ”

"Good!" Liu Yunwei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Hongguang has made a good start for my Hanwei camp, and he should be credited with the first credit!" ”

Gao Hongguang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you big brother for the compliment." Then, Gao Hongguang asked again: "By the way, big brother, haven't the Kaishan brothers come back yet?" ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Kaishan yet, but don't worry, it's just a group of bandits, but I can't open the mountain." ”

Just when Liu Yunwei and Gao Hongguang converged, Zhao Kaishan laughed in front of the bandit village on Lishan.

It turned out that when Zhao Kaishan led his troops to rush to Lishan and prepare to storm the Lishan bandit village, an unexpected scene happened, only to see a burst of shouting and killing in the cottage in front of the Hu Ben soldiers, and then the closed gate was opened.

Zhao Kaishan was dumbfounded, and then shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

More than 400 soldiers shouted in unison and swarmed up, and the entire cottage instantly became more lively, and the three parties were strangled together. But it didn't take long for the two groups of bandits who were fighting each other to become chaotic, because they found that the officers and soldiers who rushed in were extremely vicious, and they did not distinguish between friend and foe at all, whether they were bandits who tried to surrender or bandits who were ready to resist stubbornly, they all had one word: "Kill!" ”

As a result, under the slaughter of Zhao Kaishan's subordinates, the bandits in the cottage could no longer care about each other, and began to flee one after another. Countless bandits tried to escape from the walled gate, but because there were so many people who wanted to pass through, everyone crowded at the gate, and no one could pass through smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kaishan found the crowded walled gate, and was immediately ecstatic, shouting: "Kill them!" Block the walled gate! ”

The soldiers who were closer to the gate rushed up one after another when they heard this, and they slashed at the bandits who wanted to flee for their lives, and in a blink of an eye, the gate of survival became the entrance to hell, and the bandits crowded here became lambs to be slaughtered!

The rest of the bandits who had dispersed were even more heartbroken when they saw this, and they all scurried around in the cottage, and some even jumped directly from the wall.

Zhao Kaishan was wielding the mountain opening axe in his hand at this time, killing happily, seeing that the bandits around him were gradually decreasing, he shouted: "Tell them to surrender!" Surrender them! Then the soldiers around shouted loudly.

After the bandits who were fleeing in a hurry heard the shouts of surrender, their nervous spirits suddenly relaxed, and they knelt down on the spot and began to beg for mercy.

"We surrendered!"

"The general spares his life!"

Zhao Kaishan looked at the bandits in front of him who asked for surrender, and the happiness in his heart became higher and higher, and said: "Brothers, gather these bandits together and wait for the fate, remember to count the casualties of our brothers." ”

After speaking, Zhao Kaishan found a secluded place and went to rest while admiring his results.

After about a meal, a Bai general manager came over and said to Zhao Kaishan: "My lord, the statistics have come out, we have captured a total of four hundred and ninety-six bandits, and the rest have basically been killed by us, and the brothers have lost thirty-three. ”

Zhao Kaishan was still listening proudly at first, but as soon as he heard that his soldiers had lost thirty-three people, he immediately jumped like thunder and shouted: "These bandits who killed a thousand knives colluded with the cult to rob and kill the officers and soldiers, and the crime is unforgivable!" Leave a few of the leaders back for interrogation, and kill the rest for me! ”

The Bai Zong was a little hesitant when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "My lord, these bandits have all surrendered, they are all our prisoners, and it is ominous to kill prisoners, do you want to think about it again?" ”

Zhao Kaishan waved his hand irritably and said, "Kill!" No negotiation! Now is not the time for chaos in the world, these bandits collude with the cult and openly confront the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, this is a rebellion, do you understand? Kill them all! ”

Hearing this, the Bai general manager no longer persuaded him, and went to give the order after saluting. A moment later, there was another scream from the cottage, but it only lasted for a moment before it was quiet again.

Zhao Kaishan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and instructed his subordinates: "Bring the few prisoners left, let's go back and fight with the general." I can't keep the cottage here, put a fire and burn this place for me! ”
