"Boss, the vanguard camp has been attacked." A scout hurriedly ran in to wake up Gao Shide and said.

"It seems that the opportunity has come, pass on my military order, and the whole army will assemble. Redouble your vigilance, and let the military advisors come to me in the tent. Gao Shide, who had just fallen asleep for a long time, had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and gave several military orders without waking up.

Changing into armor, before he could bother to wash his face, he opened the flask and took a sip of spirits to refresh himself.

Grasping the special signal arrow in his tent, he handed it to the iron sword.

"Everything went according to plan."

Iron Sword nodded, took his bow and arrow, and shot it out in one go.

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other."

And Lu Junyi, who was lurking on both sides of the water gate of Yangzhou City, saw the signal arrow, and hurriedly gathered his troops and set off according to the original route.

Chen Yi dispatched 30,000 horses this time, these are the elites of the Fang La Department in Yangzhou City, and they have invested almost all the efforts of their father and son. Of course, its combat effectiveness is also leveraged, but he met this Liangshan hero who was born in a bad way. But it fell into a bitter battle, and the original numerical advantage was gradually wiped out by this fateful posture.

I don't know if I don't fight, I was shocked by a war. The heroes of Liangshan are not afraid of death, and almost all of them are equal to two elite soldiers in Yangzhou. There are even big killings, it can be said that those Liangshan leaders who are called the number one almost have a tendency to crush the generals on Chen Yi's side. There are also others, such as the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, Wu Song, Hua Rong and others, who are almost in a no-man's land.

"Shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief before capture the king. Have you seen the enemy's flag? The big guy will go with me. Under the leadership of Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, they saw the target and pushed it all the way.

Frightened, Chen Yi, who originally had an absolute advantage, panicked, and hurriedly turned around and fled on horseback. This will be the courage of the soldiers, and one will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies. As soon as the main general fled, the morale of the remaining soldiers collapsed at once. As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, and the general trend has gone. was originally a battle that was bound to be won, but it was defeated by Chen Yi, an incompetent general.

Most of the elites in Yangzhou City were pulled away by Chen Yi, but Chen Guan didn't know it. As for Chen Tai, the only one who found something strange, he was temporarily transferred by Chen Yi with an excuse, and now there are still 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city. In the case of negligence in precautions, the water gate was broken by Lu Junyi, who had been prepared for a long time. The shouts of killing continued in the city, and Gao Shide slowly led 10,000 horses to launch a strong attack on the front overnight. In the same operation, Yangzhou City, which originally had an absolute advantage, attacked inside and outside. When the city was empty, it was broken in one fell swoop, and Gao Shide led 10,000 horses to drive straight in.

Yangzhou City, which was originally as stable as Mount Tai, was imprisoned by the son of this pit father, and Chen Guan, who was originally dominant, became a prisoner under the stairs.

Gao Shide did not behead him directly, but asked people to escort this Chen Guan north to Tokyo overnight. The first is to ask for merit and reward, and the other is to increase the prestige chips on your side. In this ancient period, especially during the Northern Song Dynasty, although there was no scholar system at this time, the traditional ideas left behind by it. Prestige is a must, a person has prestige, and he is respected wherever he goes. Why Song Jiang can respond to all calls and occupy Shuibo Liangshan to call for wind and rain, that is the role of prestige.

Once Gao Shide's exploits and achievements are publicized, at least the people's hearts will be won. And in the army, you can also get more support, and now people only look at him as the son of Gao Yu to give a little face. But with prestige, it's different. Not only will people no longer look at him with colored glasses, but they will also have a lot of convenience in the future.

Although Song Jiang won the battle this time, it was also a remnant victory. More than half of the 8,000 old families were killed in battle, and now there are only more than 3,000 people left. And after the bloody battle, I realized that he and others were used as cannon fodder bait by Gao Shide. At this time, in my heart, it was a cold one.

However, Gao Shide captured a lot of prisoners in this battle and allocated 5,000 to supplement the pioneer battalion, which can be regarded as giving Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others an explanation.

However, the captives were defeated soldiers, many of whom were original Manichaeans or smugglers under Chen Guan's father and son. It will take some time to domesticate them into officers and soldiers. According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, these captives had to be executed, and Gao Shide did not want to kill them again to give them a chance to survive. Although there would be a certain risk in letting them join the army, Gao Shide picked out all the leaders among them. The rest of them are basically the lowest-level soldiers, who have no cultural concepts, knowing that the imperial court has forgiven them and given them a chance to make meritorious contributions and survive. They will immediately be grateful to Dade, and then disperse into the troops, and then strengthen training, and a qualified army is born.

When Pang Wanchun's 20,000 reinforcements arrived, this time it was found that Yangzhou City had changed hands. Seeing Gao Shide's battle formation outside the city, the number of people was forty or fifty thousand. In the end, he decisively chose to retreat, in fact, this is also one of Gao Shide's strategies, so that the other party will retreat.

Fifty or sixty thousand people, more than half of whom were newly formed captives. If it is really a victory, it is unpredictable, not to mention that you have to beware of the mutiny of the soldiers. After all, in the war of marching and fighting, prisoners are the greatest destabilizing factor, and if you don't kill God, Bai Qi will not lose money, and you will kill 450,000 people.

However, Gao Shide is a modern person, and he doesn't understand this. This time it's a crooked fight, a fox and a fake tiger. It's a bit of an empty city plan, a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Just when Gao Shide was training troops in Yangzhou, the news of Yangzhou's recovery reached Tokyo. Moreover, there are Yangzhou bandit leaders Chen Guan Chen Tai and his son escorted back to Beijing as evidence, and Gao Shide's fame and prestige instantly reached the top of the wind.

The younger generation can be said to be in the limelight for a while, and Song Weizong immediately rewarded Gao Shideguan to advance to two levels, and a third-grade general. It can be said that Gao Shide, a guerrilla general, was directly turned into a regular, if it weren't for Gao Shide's too young age, it is estimated that it would be possible to be a second-rank deputy governor.

Moreover, there are also supplies such as ordnance, grain and grass, and Gao Shide can now concentrate on training troops in Yangzhou. The location of the training was chosen outside the city gate, which was also a great wonder of the Northern Song Dynasty.

With the encouragement of Gao Shide's victory, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo's side also fought well after joining forces. In the final analysis, Fang La's development and expansion are too fast, and the foundation is not enough, so that it cannot be occupied for a long time after being broken. In addition, in order to expand the force, those additional soldiers are not trained. So that the combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse, so that they are recovered one by one.

After more than two months of standing still, Gao Shide rested the entire army and crossed the Yangtze River south with Yangzhou as a springboard.
