Chapter 599 What a Bull Demon King

On October 19, Gao Pet led his troops to dive around the coast of Hangzhou Bay, and finally went around to the northeast of Xiaoshan. Because more than 3,000 people from Gao Pet's department all dived over at night, no one found them, so at the beginning of Yin, when Gao Pet's troops appeared under Xiaoshan City, Qian Zhenpeng almost bit his tongue off without being surprised, how could the Dingguo Army come to Xiaoshan, spies along the way?

Gao Pet asked people to use their flying claws to enter the city, and after opening the east gate, the group all poured into Xiaoshan County. Xiaoshan County seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact it is an important barrier in the southeast of Hangzhou, if this barrier is lost, the Dingguo army can directly set off from Xiaoshan, attack Fuyang, and block the road to the south of Hangzhou. Xiaoshan can't be lost, once it is lost, General Si Xingfang will only have one road left in the west, and the danger of the Dingguo army taking Fuyang is too great, Qian Zhenpeng organized 5,000 soldiers and horses in his department, desperately killed Xiangdongcheng, and drove the Dingguo army out no matter what.

Qian Zhenpeng can not be described as not heroic, he took the lead, boosted morale, and for a time forced the middle road Dingguo army to retreat, but unfortunately Qian Zhenpeng finally had to face Gao Pet, it was just that Gao Pet was an unreasonable person in war, he looked at Qian Zhenpeng's ability, and immediately roared and raised a gun to fight Qian Zhenpeng. Gao Pet's marksmanship is outstanding and unstoppable, that Qian Zhenpeng only walked two rounds, and was stabbed to death by Gao Pet under the low wall. As soon as Qian Zhenpeng died, the thieves were in chaos, and at the end of the day, the thieves were all driven out of Xiaoshan County, and at this time, the hangover Niu Gao and Xiao Yue led the army to threaten Renhe County without hurrying.

When the news of the fall of Xiaoshan came, Si Xingfang couldn't do anything except scold his mother, and said that this Niu Gao fought like a bandit, which was not wrong at all. If you don't let Hangzhou fight, go to Xiaoshan, the most annoying thing is that you really let the soldiers drink some wine.

Knowing that Xiaoshan had fallen and the Dingguo army was coercing Renhe County, Song Jiang and Tong Guan naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly sent troops south to cooperate with Zhao Yougong to take Hangzhou. In order to shrink the troops and preserve the strength, the division had no choice but to let Chen Lie lead the troops to withdraw from Renhe County and return to Hangzhou to cooperate with the army to defend the city.

On October 20, the 40,000-strong army of Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong arrived 20 miles northwest of Hangzhou, while Song Jiang and Lu Junyi also led their troops to storm Chang'an Town, where Gao Yu was stationed. Although Gao Yu didn't want to withdraw, there were too few soldiers and horses under his hands, and in just half a day, Song Jiang's troops broke through Chang'an Town and killed them all the way to Hangzhou. In just two days, more than 100,000 imperial army gathered near Hangzhou City, even if the division can defend it, he can't help but be a little afraid. More than 100,000 troops, and less than 40,000 in their own hands, or low morale, how can they hold it?

Now that the shape is critical, Fang La also summoned the leaders of his cronies to discuss the matter, in fact, Fang La also knew that it was not a way to let the Si Xing Fang defend Hangzhou, even if he was allowed to defend Hangzhou, how long could he keep it? Ten days? Half a month? I'm afraid it's good to be able to hold on for seven days.

Hangzhou is in a crisis, Gao Pet blocked Fuyang again, Deng Yuanjue wanted to send troops to help Hangzhou, and it was impossible to break through Fuyang in a short time, so the possibility of Hangzhou holding was very small. Hangzhou can't hold it, the next thing is Lin'an, don't look at Lin'an has a palace, but in terms of defense, it is much weaker than Hangzhou City. Fang La had a headache, and the leaders were also very headaches, and after a while, Fang Fei Jin said, "Sect Master, now that the fall of Hangzhou is a foregone conclusion, Hangzhou is not guaranteed, and Lin'an will definitely be besieged by the officials and soldiers. ”

In fact, what Fang Fei said is the right way, it is estimated that many people have this idea, but Fang Fei who dares to say it directly. Fang Fei ti yì withdrew to Muzhou, and Fang La also thought about it, but how could he be willing to give up the entire Hangzhou like this? Without Hangzhou, can Muzhou alone stop the imperial army? Moreover, Hangzhou is too rich, far from being comparable to Muzhou, if he can, Fang La is willing to exchange two Muzhou for Hangzhou. Unwilling, really unwilling, a good situation, was attacked by Zhao Yougong Haining to occupy Yanguan Town, originally thought that the division would be able to defend Hangzhou City, who would have thought that Niu Gao would make a surprise move, so that Gao Pet defeated Xiaoshan. Xiao Shan didn't feel anything when he was there, and when he lost Xiao Shan, he realized how important this place was, because Gao Pet started from Xiaoshan to swallow Fuyang, and suddenly blocked the road from Hangzhou City to Muzhou, that is to say, if Muzhou Deng Yuanjue wants to send reinforcements, he has to bypass Fuyang, just kidding, not to mention that it takes time to bypass Fuyang, just say that with that high pet temperament, you can go around it safely if you want to?

Remove? When this word sounded in his mind, Fang La finally made a decision, "Order the secretary to withdraw from Hangzhou City, and let Gao Yu go to Hangzhou City to take everything that can be taken away, and what cannot be taken away cannot be left to the officers and soldiers." In addition, Wang Yin retreated to Lin'an, and cooperated with most of them to return to Muzhou! ”

Fang La is worthy of being a hero, and it is not easy for him to make a decision so quickly. The order soon arrived in Hangzhou, after getting the order to retreat, the division was obviously relieved, this time was tossed by Niu Gao enough, he no longer wanted to be tossed by this bull demon king, Gao Yu then arrived, and soon after the thieves began to loot Hangzhou City, the people of Hangzhou will suffer, especially those rich families in the city, people are fine, but the valuable things in the house are either smashed or robbed, and even the house was set on fire by the thieves.

The chaos in Hangzhou City, naturally it can't be concealed from the ears and eyes of the Dingguo Army, Niu Gao just thought about it a little, and then he figured it out, and he dared to run away. Hehe, the Dingguo army is coming to the city, and the division can leave if he wants to, is it so easy?

Xiao Yue came to the front and shouted a little eagerly, "General Niu, let Xiao be in charge of attacking the city this time, as long as Xiao is given half a day, the last general will be able to take the south gate of Hangzhou." ”

Niu Gao raised his hand and shook his head, looked at Hangzhou City not far away, and said with a slight smile, "No, General Xiao, you can't go to attack the city, you can now order 5,000 soldiers and horses to go to Yuhang, in addition, Niu assigned Yang Zaixing's cavalry to General Xiao's command, once he saw that the division retreated to Lin'an, he didn't ask for killing, just grab back the property seized by the thieves." As for the property obtained, all the goods were loaded and sent back to Bianjing to be handed over to Mrs. Li. ”

As soon as Niu Gao said this, Xiao Yue immediately understood, General Niu really had a good idea, and the division sent troops to rob it, after all, no matter how the Dingguo army is, it is also an officer and soldier, and it is impossible to rob the property of the people of Hangzhou, so that those property will become thieves, and those who go to rob the thieves in the Dingguo army do not need to return it. Of course, some of them can also be returned, and as for how to use the stolen property to attract people's hearts later, it is what Mrs. Li has to do.

"Hehe, General Niu has a good idea, Xiao will go to Yuhang!" Xiao Yue also had some admiration for Niu Gao, this seemingly rough Bull Demon King can not be reckless when he fights, no wonder the thieves say that he is a mountain bandit general, isn't he a mountain bandit leader?

Yuhang is located in the northwest of Hangzhou, Niu Gao knew that he was fighting Yuhang, and Wu Yong naturally knew it, so Wu used the early mention of Song Jiang to occupy Yuhang, so he could rob the property plundered by the thieves. So when Xiao Yue led the troops to ten miles east of Yuhang, he happened to meet Hua Rong's department that rushed over, as soon as he saw Hua Rong, Xiao Yue suddenly frowned, and didn't think much about it, Xiao Yue called Yang Zaixing, and whispered, "General Yang, go and block the official road quickly, I will go to defeat Yuhang, if Hua Rong dares to break through, hum."

"General Xiao rest assured, but the spear in the hand of the last general is here, and he will never let one Liangshan thief go to Yuhang!" After that, Yang Zaixing turned his horse's head, and the cavalry galloped, and soon blocked the official road. This is not the end, Yang Zaixing also divided one-third of the soldiers and horses to form an iron chain of horses, and Hu Yanzhuo was the commander of the light cavalry, responsible for the detours on both sides, in short, more than 7,000 people in Hua Rong's department were all placed under the iron hooves of the cavalry.

Hua Rongda frowned, the Dingguo Army was really unreasonable, and now it can be regarded as a friendly army, and it is still so unsympathetic. However, Hua Rong also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, forcibly breaking through Yang Zaixing's blockade? What are you kidding, how long has it been since the Battle of Wu Xingtang, how can you forget the terrible of the chain horse?

On October 23, Si Xingfang and Gao Yu led the troops to evacuate Hangzhou, and after Chen Liedian, the army slowly retreated, which made Si Xingfang wonder that Niu Gao did not send people to pursue, nor did he send troops into the city, so he followed unhurriedly. What about the cavalry of the Dingguo Army, isn't this time a good time for the cavalry to pursue? How did the division know that at this time, the little cavalry in Niu Gao's hand had already gone to Yuhang with Xiao Yue, and where did the extra cavalry come from to pursue, as for leading the army to follow unhurriedly, it was just a show, so that the division did not have time to react.

Si Xingfang withdrew his troops, and most of Niu Gao did not enter the city to catch up, but it was cheaper for Song Jiang, regardless of whether Hangzhou was an empty city or not, but the first to enter Hangzhou must be a credit. Niu Gao can't look down on the credit of this vain brain, but Song Jiang is very attentive, there is no way, who made him Song Jiang a thief before? Niu Gao does not enter Hangzhou City, it is not a single credit for not looking down, there is another reason why Niu Gao is reluctant to enter the city, at this time Hangzhou City is about to be tossed by thieves and soldiers, those big families are ruined, it is also the gas has nowhere to spill, it can be said that Hangzhou is a mess now, no one is good. Song Jiang was in a hurry to enter Hangzhou City, and it happened that Wu Yong was not there, and when Wu Xuexue hurriedly wanted to stop it, Song was already sitting in the Hangzhou Mansion and sighed.

The division led the troops all the way to the west, and arrived near Yuhang in half a day, running for half a day, the soldiers were tired, and the division ordered the army to rest in place. When most of the soldiers and horses were sitting on the ground gasping, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the north. People, when is the least energetic? It's not when you're the most tired, but when you're so tired that you can't rest halfway, and Yang Zaixing's cavalry killed it at this time. R1152
