Chapter 256: Niu Gao (2)

Jeremiah is now completely scared, and even a little nervously timid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering the territory of Lushan and Baofeng, after hearing that his scouts came to report that the local regimental training of the Song people and the township army were gathering in large numbers, he changed his indifference in real history and sent a large number of scouts to investigate the opponent's reality.

deliberately broke away from the main force, set up an ambush circle, and lured Niu Gao to attack.

At that time, Ma Wu only had about 100 guards around him, and Niu Gao thought that there was a cheap price to pick up, so he led more than 10,000 villagers with hoes and sickles to surround the mountains and fields.

But instead of fleeing in a hurry, Jerumawu led his men to retreat to a small fortress that had been captured earlier, and died in danger.

Niu Gao's Xiang Yong attacked all night, but not only failed to take Ma Wu, but his men suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers were extremely tired, not to mention demoralized.

On the morning of the second day, just as he was preparing his equipment to attack again, the cavalry of the Khitan and Jurchen suddenly arrived and slaughtered the township army.

In this battle, the Jin army was beheaded by 1,000, and the entire township army in southern Henan was swept away by them.

Niu Gao also couldn't gain a foothold in Henan, so he had to flee to the mountainous areas in southern Henan with three hundred guards to survive. At this time, an envoy brought a letter from Wang Shen and asked him to go to Jianghan to join the Sizhou army.

Niu Gao is now exhausted, and after hearing Wang Shen's prestige for a long time, and feeling the sincerity of his letter, he led his troops to Anlu. It's a pity that he went a step too late, and Wang Shen had already set off for Hunan with the Beiwei army.

Niu Gao saw that he had nothing to do in Jianghan, and he had the heart to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, so he simply brought his men to chase after him. He has not officially joined the Sizhou Army yet, and An Lu has no way to take him, so he has to let him go.

Fortunately, Niu Gao's subordinates are all northern athletes, with a war horse in hand, and they rushed day and night, and they caught up with Wang Shen on the edge of Dongting Lake outside Dingzhou City.

Niu Gao suffered an unprecedented defeat in Henan, Wang Shen naturally knew, in fact, after taking Jianghan, he felt that his subordinates were short of talents, so Wang Shen set his eyes on Niu Gao.

According to historical records, this Niu Testicle is not a reckless man like in the novel, this person is very shrewd, a wise general, flexible in the use of military means, and later killed the pseudo-Qi general Wang Song in the first battle, he fought remarkably, and the means were clever.

After joining the Yue family's army, he made key achievements, such as capturing Yang Zaixing alive and defeating Li Cheng's main force in battle.

I have to say that this person is the first person under Yue Fei to be able to fight.

Best of all, this man is also the most scarce cavalry general in the south.

In real history, in the decisive battle between Yue Fei and Li Cheng, the cavalry troops were led by Niu Gao.

Now there are no two cavalry generals under Wang Shen who can fight, Lao Guo is the head of the sect, and he can't use force with one hand, and he can't go into battle; Fang Wurong's martial arts and abilities are not enough to command Tabai.

As a last resort, Wang Shen could only personally command Tabai, and now that Niu Gao is here, Tabai can let him lead it.

Just like this, Wang Shen had already ordered Chen Da to send a fine work to Lushan to invite Niu Gao.

After Niu Gao's troops were scattered by Yelu Ma Wu, Xizuo happened to find him, but he didn't have to bother much, and Niu Tuan's training envoy threw himself over very happily.

The so-called regimental training envoy is the same as Wang Shen's previous defense envoy, but he is no more than the head of a local military organ. It is much smaller than the defense envoy, that is, the role of the people's armed forces of the county in the later generations. At this moment, Wang Shen, as a solicitor, opened his teeth to build a mansion and built a town, and he was already the commander of the large military region.

Being able to get the blue eyes of such a big feudal town, Niu Gao's heart was excited and moved.

Seeing Niu Gao's face full of shame, Wang Shen comforted: "General Niu, don't be angry, a certain and Yelu Mawu fought a battle in Jinling, and they also know his details." This person is very brave, and the Khitan Pi Room sergeants under his command are all fierce murderers who are not afraid of death, and my men were also seriously injured at the beginning. Although there are many brave people in your regiment, you have poor equipment and poor training, and it is normal for you to lose at his hands, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”

Niu Gao continued to sigh, he clenched his fists: "It's a pity that so many children died under the enemy's knife because of my mistakes, every time I think of this, it seems like there are a thousand needles piercing my heart." I just wanted to immediately lead the soldiers and horses back to Henan to avenge the sacrificed children. ”

Wang Shen patted the back of his hand: "Yes, when I destroy the Zhongxiang demon, I will return to Anlu and lead the main force to fight Xiangyang." Xiangyang is the gateway to Henan, and the Jurchen Tartars are bound to defend it, and when the time comes, the Wushu of the garrison Xijing will definitely bring a large army to help, and then they will not be able to meet Ma Wu on the battlefield. When the time comes, if you kill Jerumawu, you won't be able to take revenge? ”

Niu Gao's eyes lit up: "Is this true?" ”

Wang Shen: "Naturally, if Xiangyang can't be recovered, it will be difficult to sleep and eat if he is pressed on his head by such a big stone!" As he spoke, he told him in detail about the strategic significance of Xiangyang to Jianghan.

Niu Gao was overjoyed and shook to the ground: "I am willing to follow the military envoy and die with all my might." ”

Wang Shen hurriedly helped him up and said, "Let's go, Boyuan, let me introduce you to the generals in the army." ”

……

In fact, Wang Shen also entered the territory of Dingzhou yesterday.

He set out from Anlu before, and the army went down the Han River, entered the Yangtze River, passed through the Hanyang Army and Fuzhou to the west, and did not directly enter Dongting Lake, and crossed the entire Great Lake to kill Dingzhou. There is no way, Dongting Lake is completely the world of Zhong Xiang's water army, who calls his own sailors not to fight!

Wang Shen is now very safe in using his troops, and would rather take a long detour than take risks.

After passing Fuzhou, he continued to swim up the Yangtze River and landed at Shishou into Lizhou.

When I met Zhong Xiang's troops in Lizhou, the two armies fought more than ten battles, large and small, and beheaded a lot in each battle, which was a bit devastating.

Zhong Xiang saw that the battle was not Wang Shen's opponent, and his corporal were all frightened, and they refused to compete head-on with the Sizhou army, but broke it into pieces and began to play a travelogue.

Wang Shen couldn't stand being harassed by him, so he ordered the troops to follow and turn into several squads of several hundred people and advance forward.

At this moment, Yue Yunbu had already penetrated thirty or forty miles outside Dingzhou City, and should have contacted Li Cheng.

He took his trip to Anxiang County, preparing to wait for Yue Yun to open the road, and then lead the Chinese army to carry it over.

After introducing Niu Gao to the officers above the head of the Beiwei army, Wang Shen stood on the sidelines of the field with him to watch the non-commissioned officers drill.

I saw that there were at least three or four hundred people on the field. However, they did not form a thick formation like an ordinary army and march like a wall.

On the contrary, it is dispersed into a team of more than a dozen people and practiced separately.

And in the squad of more than a dozen people, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are also different. In this way, there is no so-called close connection between the squad and the squad.

Niu Gao only glanced at it, and then frowned.
