After losing more than 200 brothers, he finally made a gain, and if Song Jiang was not satisfied, it was not. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that he lost nearly two percent of the people at once, Song Jiang still feels very painful in his heart, these people are carefully selected by him, and they follow him to fight in the south and the north, and they have very rich combat experience, and every loss is irreparable.

Of course, he also knew that war was so cruel that once it was done, it would be impossible to achieve without bloodshed, and all he could do was to remember them forever.

After burying the dead and giving the wounded a lot of money to let them flee, Song Jiang took advantage of the night to lead the rest of the men and horses to start moving.

Knowing that the officers and soldiers of Zhangqiu came along the main road, in order to avoid encountering them along the way, Song Jiang took the small road.

There are also 100 miles between Changqing and Zhangqiu, and Song Jiang and his subordinates are mostly from this area and are very familiar with the road, so although they took the trail, they did not take the wrong road and delay the time, on the contrary, it was faster. Overnight, the group came to the valley mouth not far from Zhangqiu.

The Taishan Mountains are a large mountain range that stretches across the border between Jinan and Yanzhou, and even extends to the border between Yanzhou and Zizhou. Changbai Mountain is an east-west mountain range that stretches from Jinan to Zizhou. The two mountain ranges span the land of Qilu, which happens to divide the north and south into three parts, and the middle part is a long and narrow valley.

It is not quite a valley, because the two mountains are far apart, twenty or thirty miles, so the locals regard it as a plain sandwiched between the two mountains.

Whether it is a valley or not, the geographical location here is very important, because on the west side of it is Zhangqiu, a county seat of Jinan Prefecture, guarding the entrance, and on the east side, the city of Zizhou guards the exit.

Two large cities on the left and right guard this transportation artery, making this place a battleground for soldiers.

Song Jiang is preparing to pass through here. As long as you cross this valley, you can go east to Zi and Qing, and then turn south to Yizhou, so as to achieve the purpose of your strategic transfer, and this road is the shortest road.

Crossing this valley, the most critical thing is not the exit of Zizhou Guard, but the entrance of Zhangqiu Guard, the main reason is that the location of Zhangqiu is corrected, it is completely located at the entrance, and you must pass from here to enter the valley.

Zizhou is different, it is far from the exit, and there are several forks in the valley, so it is impossible to block it in Zizhou.

However, there is an obstacle in the valley, it is in the middle of the valley, and the valley barrier is more than ten miles away, if it is blocked here, this valley will definitely be a dead end.

Of course, Song Jiang didn't think that this was a dead end, not to mention whether the soldiers of Zizhou could get the news soon and come here to set up defenses, even if they had already been armed, what could they do? The most obstacle is more than ten miles, so how many soldiers do you need to build a defensive line?

Song Jiang didn't believe that there were so many soldiers in the government, and he didn't believe that he would spend too much money to deal with him, in short, he decided that it was safe here, and there was no risk at all when entering this valley.

With this idea, I traveled along the trail of the Taishan Mountains all the way and soon came to the outside of Zhangqiu City.

The sentinel came at this time and told Song Jiang that there was nothing abnormal in Zhangqiu's soldiers and horses, and they were still on the way to rescue Changqing, but because of loose military discipline and slow action, they had walked less than half the distance at this time.

When Song Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he hadn't had to move to the south, he would have been ready to wipe out this group of officers and soldiers.

Because they were holding at this intersection, he had to fight Changqing, and lost more than 200 brothers for it, and this account had to be counted on their heads.

He is not easy to fight when the other party holds the camp, but he is a live target in the movement, and Song Jiang is confident that he will eliminate this group of officers and soldiers in half a day.

It's just that reason tells him not to be impulsive, his first task is to move south through the valley, and if he delays time in order to vent his anger, once Gao Feng discovers his intentions, it will be more than worth the loss.

Forcibly suppressing the urge not to retaliate, Song Jiang quietly bypassed the path on the edge of Zhangqiu City, and without a garrison, there was no defense, and he easily entered the valley.

Even if there was not much food, he didn't think about attacking Zhangqiu City, and he didn't know if he could defeat it in one fell swoop, but because of this, disturbing the peak was the same as eliminating that group of officers and soldiers, and he didn't bother to do this kind of unfavorable approach to him.

There are many opportunities to replenish supplies in Zizhou or Qingzhou, and there is no need to be surrounded by enemies, so Song Jiang's order to everyone is to advance quickly and strive to rush into Zizhou in one fell swoop.

The group rushed forward, but less than halfway through, Wu Yong ran to report: "Big brother, it's not good, the front is blocked by officers and soldiers." ”

"What?" Song Jiang almost jumped. Although he never believed that this would happen, but when it did, he couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.

"It's over, cornered!" This is Song Jiang's most direct thought.

Regardless of whether the back road is blocked or not, the blocking of the front road shows that Gao Feng has long known about his premeditation, and everything that happened in the middle is just that Gao Feng will make a trick for him, and he is still complacent to get in.

How stupid this is! And how wise Gao Feng is! Song Jiang finally became terrified because of Gao Feng as an opponent.

Every step of his life has been counted to death, which shows that Gao Feng's name is well deserved. If this is all it takes, Gao Feng even changed the bad habit of officers and soldiers fleeing in battle, and became able to fight, which can be seen in the defense of Changqing.

With Gao Feng's unpredictable command and pre-arrangement, coupled with the ability of officers and soldiers to fight, it would be really evil to say that they could escape if the door was closed from front to back this time.

Song Jiang's heart became empty, even if he hadn't received the report that had been sealed in the back and the specific situation in front, he knew that everything was over, because he didn't believe that this time there was such a good opportunity for siege, and Gao Feng would have some hands.

"Report, the way has been blocked by officers and soldiers, and we cannot exit." The sentry came from behind and reported the news that Song Jiang expected, but did not want to hear.

Sure enough, Song Jiang had a number in his heart. It is false that the Zhangqiu army supports Changqing, and it is also false that their military discipline is sloppy, and it is true that they sealed themselves in this dead place where there is no village in front and no store in the back. In this case, the officers and soldiers did not need to fight at all, they only needed to hold the two ends of the valley, so that the rebel army could not escape, and the rebel army, which had run out of food, would not last a few days and would be finished, and the officers and soldiers only needed to sit and reap the fruits.

"What should I do?" Song Jiang calculated, "There are chasing soldiers in the back, there are interceptions in front, and there are cliffs on both sides, is this kind of death going to kill me Song Jiang?" No, no, no matter how difficult it is, I'm going to rush through it. ”
