Chapter 275: Guoqiao Town (3)

The night shrouded Guoqiao Town.

The bright moonlight sprinkled the deserted streets, revealing a sense of loneliness.

The area of Guoqiao Town is not large, it is built in an irregular rectangle, eight miles from east to west, five and a half miles from north to south, but it is deserted at this time.

The horse's hooves walked on the pavement, making a dull sound.

Yu Yin straddled the horse and looked at Guo Qiaozhen, which was almost empty, and felt bitter in his heart.

Such an empty city, if it weren't for the sake of delaying time, Yu Yin would definitely not have come here to resist the Jurchen Iron Cavalry......

How so?

It's a city with no danger to defend.

The walls were built of rammed earth, and they were no taller than two or three people.

At the entrance of the town, there is a watchtower, but it looks particularly dilapidated. Out of Guoqiao Town, it is a plain of Pingchuan, and there is no obstacle that can be used to defend it. In other words, the Jin army could only be fended against by relying on the walls of Guoqiao Town. But the question is, with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and a rammed earth wall two or three people high, can it stop the Jurchen army?

In Yu Yin's heart, he really has no bottom.

"Xiao Yi, this Guoqiao town can't be guarded."

After Pang Wanchun looked at the terrain of Guoqiao Town, he came to a conclusion.

"If it's just the Ma Army, it's okay, with the city wall of Guoqiao Town, you can still resist it.

But if the army of thieves arrives, there is no second option here except for field warfare. With our people, we can't stop the thieves at all. ”

"I know!"

Under the moonlight, Yu Yin took Pang Wanchun and others to inspect Guoqiao Town for a week, and then urged the horse out of the town.

"This city is not to say that it will defend against tens of thousands of thieves. As long as the thief is armed with a weapon, thousands of people rush a few times, and it will be in ruins.

By the way, have scouts ever been sent? ”

"It's been sent out!"

Yu Yin nodded, and the horse rushed up a low mound.

He put his hand on the pergola and looked over, and after a while, he shook his head again, "I just hope to stop Cao Rong and his son here." If it can be delayed for a day or two, it will retreat across the Guangji River. Don't do it like this, the heavy grain and grass of Mu Huogang. It can't be cleaned. Moreover, Kaifeng's city defense also needs time to prepare, and if it can be delayed for a day or two, he and Li Shangshu can also be fully prepared. ”

"That. How to defend against it? ”

Pang Wanchun asked a question, which made Yu Yin frown.

"Field Battle!"

Yu Yin thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Field?"

Pang Wanchun was taken aback, "Cao Rong has 3,000 iron cavalry, we are only more than 1,000 people, and the horse army is only 300, how can we fight in the field?" ”

Yu Yin scratched his head and smiled, "Brother is in a hurry, the mountain people have their own clever plans." ”

Look at Yu Yin with a determined look. Although Pang Wanchun was a little confused, he was not as flustered as before.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

A group of scouts galloped from a distance, reined in their horses under the mound, and dismounted as the first scout. Lian ran and took it away to Yuyin Ma, "Commander Qiyu, I waited thirty miles north of Guoqiao Town and found the whereabouts of the thief."

Xiao Di took down a thief and learned from the mouth of the thief that the thief vanguard army was in the vanguard. It has circled the city and is coming to Guoqiao Town. It is estimated that it is only thirty miles away from here. The main general of the captives is Cao Ning, the son of Cao Rong, the commander of the slippery state! ”

This scout is obviously an experienced one, and although the military situation is urgent, he is very coherent when he speaks.

Yu Yin hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the forward army?" Where is Cao Rong now? ”

"Cao Rong's soldiers and horses, I will stay in the city tonight.

The vanguard army numbered about 1,000 men, and it is said that it was all a cavalry army of thieves. ”

Pang Wanchun's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously clenched the big gun in his hand.

Yu Yin turned his head and said: "The thief is thirty miles away, and if he wants to come within an hour, he will definitely come to Guoqiao Town."

The Guangji River crossing is still chaotic, and I am afraid that there is no second way to choose except for fighting to the death.........,

Pang Wanchun said with a smile: "Since Xiao Yi wants to fight, Pang must be the first." ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm waiting for."

After Yu Yin finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and was about to return to Guoqiao Town.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly reined in his horse and asked the scout in a deep voice, "What is your name?" ”

"Little bottom Sun Xian."

"Sun Xian?" Yu Yin nodded and said, "It's a good name, listening to your accent, it seems to be a local?" ”

"I'm not afraid of the command's shame, Xiaodi is indeed a Kaifeng person.

Some time ago, when he heard about the assassination, he joined the army to serve, and now he works under General Dong. ”

Yu Yin smiled, only tapped Sun Xian with the horsewhip in his hand, and then raised the whip to urge the horse away.

This seems to be a very simple action, but it makes Sun Xian extremely excited. He also hurriedly got on the horse, took a team of scouts, followed closely behind Yu Yin and the others, and went straight to Guoqiao Town.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the horizon, a few clouds floated in and obscured the moon.

Cao Ning urged the horse to gallop, his face calm.

After his father and son surrendered to the Jurchens, although Guo Yaoshi treated them very seriously, he could not satisfy his father and son's ambitions.

When Pharmacist Guo first descended to the Jurchens, he received a lot of attention.

But what about his father and son?

Although he surrendered, he was driven out of the white horse.

On the surface, it is said that Pharmacist Guo values them, but in fact, he is wary.

Cao Ning knew that the reason for this situation was that they had no merit. In other words, his father and son did not vote for the name, so it was difficult for him to really integrate into the Jurchen group. In the eyes of those Jurchens, the status of Cao Rong and Cao Ning's father and son is not a great merit, and it is difficult to compare with Guo Yaoshi. Guo Yaoshi is a native of Bohai, that is, a Han'er in the mouth of the Jurchens. But Cao Rong and Cao Ning's father and son, in the eyes of the Jurchens, are authentic southerners.

If they don't use means, how will those thieves know the power of their father and son?

When Cao Ning thought of this, he couldn't wait.

Only when he arrived in Kaifeng in advance and robbed the first credit of Kaifeng could his father and son really gain a firm foothold in the Jurchens.

Originally. Cao Rong didn't want to attack so quickly.

Guo Yaoshi is still in Baimajin, and if his father and son attack Kaifeng, they will also go deep alone.

But Cao Ning didn't think so, "Why should my father worry about Song Jun? Just look at the bloody capture of Fengqiu yesterday, and we know the methods of the Song army. Although Kaifeng Mansion claims to have 800,000 forbidden troops, it exists in name only. Not to mention anything else, just the gun in the child's hand. and they will be able to kill those people and flee. Father should know that our father and son are generals, if there is no merit. You can't get a foothold. Now is the best opportunity, as long as you can cross the Guangji River, and then stabilize your position. The first work of this opening fell into the hands of our father and son...... If you want to find such a good thing in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

Cao Rong was quite moved, but out of prudence, he decided to let Cao Ning be the vanguard, and he captured the city......

Even if the city was a small county, it was a credit.

Besides, the scouts found out, and now the city is almost an empty city, and there is no Song army to defend it.

Take the period city. Even if Cao Ning's attack fails, he can also give support.

So after thinking twice, Cao Rong decided to divide his troops with Cao Ning, so that Cao Ning would approach Guoqiao Town, and he himself would lead his troops into Qicheng.

This caution towards Cao Rong. Cao Ning was extremely disdainful.

The eldest husband should hold a three-foot green edge to gain fame, if they are all as timid as their father, how can they achieve great things?

Guoqiao Town!

It's not like Cao Ning hasn't been here.

He knew very well that there was no Song army stationed in Guoqiao Town at all, and if there were, it was just a group of armor protection militia. What are you afraid of?

Thinking of this, Cao Ning felt a little more sure in his heart.

"Report!"

With a shout, Cao Ning was awakened from his contemplation.

He hurriedly reined in his horse and looked intently, and saw a scout covered in blood, almost crawling on the horse's back, and came to Cao Ning. …,

"Major General Qiyu, I encountered the scouts of the Song army in front, and I waited for one of them, and the whole army has been wiped out."

"Song Army scouts?"

Cao Ning was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Guoqiao Town, where did you come to the Song Army scout?" ”

Xiao Di also thinks so, but those Song soldiers are not ordinary and brave, and they seem quite tough.

Although there were only six people on the other side, they stopped me and ten others...... It was not the brothers who fought desperately to cover up, and Xiaodi almost died together. ”

Desperate cover?

Cao Ning wouldn't believe what the scout said.

It is estimated that this guy saw that the situation was not good and escaped from the battle......

However, this guy did bring important news. These scouts are not brave, but they are also the elite of Huazhou.

Ten people can't do six of them...... That's obviously not an ordinary Xiangyong, Song Jun is here!

Song Jun actually set up a town in Guoqiao?

Instead of panicking, Cao Ning became a little excited.

He just felt that the journey was too smooth, and he didn't even experience a fight, how could it not be regretted? Now there is a Song army stationed in Guoqiao Town, which is a good opportunity for him to make contributions. Thinking of this, Cao Ning's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's so good, just as I was saying that I was going to use a trick, someone sent it to the door...... But I want to see where these Song troops are sacred, and they dare to stop the front of our army. Sons, follow me to Guoqiao Town! ”

As soon as Cao Ning gave the order, a thousand iron horsemen immediately let out a series of shouts.

The sound of iron hooves and hooves was like thunder, and it swept across the plain like a storm...... That Cao Ning took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

Twenty miles away, in the blink of an eye.

At night, the low city walls of Guoqiao Town were clearly visible.

Cao Ning suddenly reined in his horse and raised his big gun.

Behind him, the iron cavalry hurriedly reined in the war horse and quickly set up a battle formation.

"You really don't know whether you live or die, and you want to fight me in the field?"

Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, Cao Ning clearly saw that in front of the entrance of Guoqiao Town, a group of Song troops was waiting under the cover of night.

Directly ahead, are the archers.

Then came the sword and shield soldiers...... This Song army did not have cavalry to protect the two ribs, and was alone in a phalanx, revealing a different atmosphere.

Cao Ning looked at this Song army formation and immediately smiled.

I guess it's three or five hundred...... And it's infantry.

Could it be that the general of the Song army has a broken brain? Even these infantry troops, dare to pull out and fight themselves in the field?

Cao Ning couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, "This is indeed the credit of sending it to the door." ”

Putting down the war horse in his crotch, he stepped forward a few steps.

I saw Cao Ning knocking the stirrup with both feet, raising the big gun flat, and shouted: "Sons, rush ...... with me"

A thousand cavalry let out an earth-shattering shout. Following Cao Ning, he charged towards the Song army. This doesn't need to be considered at all, since Song Jun has put on a death posture, if he doesn't kill him hard, how can he be worthy of himself?

It's not just Cao Ning who thinks so, but also his parts.

Iron Cavalry Charge. The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

Although there were only a thousand iron horsemen, the earth could not help but tremble when they charged.

Interestingly. The archers at the forefront of the Song army's array, seeing the Jin army charging, immediately retreated quickly.

Meanwhile. The shield bearers stepped forward in unison, as if they wanted to block the iron hooves of the golden army with their flesh and blood.

Cao Ning couldn't help but laugh again, the big gun trembled, and the mount under his crotch suddenly increased his speed, and pounced on Song Jun like lightning.

"Gunner, ignition!"

Seeing that the Jin army was less than fifty steps away from the Song army, he heard someone shouting loudly among the Song army.

Gunners?

Cao Ning was stunned and hurriedly reined in the war horse.

After all, he had served in the Song army. Of course, it is also clear that the thunderbolt artillery of the Great Song Jin Army is powerful.

But he stopped, but the cavalry behind him did not stop, and continued to rush towards the Song army like a sea of mountains. It's too late, it's too soon. Seeing that the Jin army was only about thirty steps away from the Song army, dozens of black balls suddenly flew out from the Song army's camp. The black ball was filled with fire, and it was whistling and thrown at the Jin army. In the night, I couldn't see how many black balls there were, and they fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. …,

The black ball continues to roll. But the fire was never quenched.

At the same time, the Song Jun shield hand quickly stepped back, retreating four or five steps in the blink of an eye, and then shouted in unison, crouched down, and raised the shield in front of him.

Jin Jun, but it has arrived!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

With a series of sudden loud noises, the black ball suddenly exploded, filling the air with gunsmoke and bursts of flames.

Cao Ning stood in the rear army, and he could clearly see that the Jin army that rushed to the front was torn apart by the bombing, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

The horse neighed violently and fell in a pool of blood.

The knights on the horse were even more covered in blood by the iron nails that burst out of the thunder in their palms, and some of them were even blown open and disemboweled, and their armor was scattered all over the ground.

What is this?

Cao Ning was sure that he had never seen such a weapon.

Although the Song army's thunderbolt cannon was powerful, it was extremely bulky, and it didn't seem to be so powerful.

The Jin army, which rushed to the front, was killed dozens of people at once, and nearly 100 people were injured and fell in a pool of blood crying. The power of the explosion of fifty palm thunders was enough to make the rest of the Jin army chaotic. War Horse Xi Yu hissed and was already uncontrollable. The knights on the horse were even more panicked, scrambling to appease the horses.

"Steady, steady!"

Cao Ning was shocked when he saw this.

He hurriedly urged his horse forward, trying to stabilize his position, but at this moment, he heard a rapid sound of war drums, followed by the sound of three trumpets at the entrance of Guoqiao Town, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the town and roared towards the Jin army.

Before anyone arrives, the arrow arrives first......

This cavalry can be described as skillful in arching horses, and the knights on the horses gallop while bending their bows and arrows, and the arrows like raindrops shoot at the golden army. Dozens of Jin soldiers were shot like hedgehogs in an instant, and they fell from their horses to the ground.

However, the cavalry of the Song army did not stop, and when they saw that they were about to collide with the Jin army, they suddenly dispersed, flying around the formation of the Jin army, shooting arrows while turning back, shooting the Jin army into a mess, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all.

Cao Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, jumped his horse and raised his gun, dialed Diaoling, and rushed towards the Song army.

At this time, there must be no retreat.

As long as you retreat, you will inevitably be in chaos...... Looking at these Song troops, it is clear that they have been in battle for a long time, and their riding and archery skills are even more extraordinary. When the time comes, these soldiers and horses will have to wait for their hands to be killed...... Therefore, the more this time, the more you have to rush forward.

Cao Ning thought well, but Song Jun would give him this opportunity to stabilize the army's heart.

With the sound of three more trumpets at the entrance of Guoqiao Town, Yu Yin immediately hissed with dark gold under his crotch, and rushed over to Cao Ning.

"Cao Ning, the dog thief who betrays the lord for glory, still doesn't take his life."

Dark gold has been eaten and raised well in the past two years, and it is no longer what it was when Yu Yin first got it.

Don't look at its age, but when it sprints, even Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing's black horse under the crotch can't be compared.

In fact, Yu Yin has been wondering what kind of bloodline Dark Gold is.

Unfortunately, to this day, he still can't figure it out.

Even Qi Longteng, who has the ability of Soma, can't figure out the bloodline of dark gold. Over time, Yu Yin was no longer interested in exploring the bloodline of Dark Gold, only knowing that this was a good horse, a good horse that was not inferior to the Jade Lion of the Night.

The sound falls, the people arrive!

With a dragon roar from the tiger's long sword, Yu Yin stood up on the war horse and pulled out the sword from its sheath.

This is Yu Yin's own comprehension of the immediate knife drawing technique, after several exchanges with Lu Zhishen, and with the high pet He Yuanqing and others repeatedly competed, almost a success. There are not many tricks in this right away knife drawing technique, it is about a straight line, that is, the word 'fast'. With the help of Yu Yin's long body movements, the power of his whole body was condensed in an instant, and he slashed towards Cao Ning fiercely. …,

This Cao Ning is not an idle person.

Although he didn't recognize Yu Yin, he was startled by Yu Yin's fierce knife.

He hurriedly crossed the spear in front of him, and with an iron latch, he carried all his strength outward. Listening to the sound of the bell, the knife that condensed the power of Yu Yin's thousand catties shook Cao Ning's arms numb, the tiger's mouth burst, and his hands were suddenly bloody. The huge impact force made Cao Ning's crotch war horse a little unbearable, Xi Yuyu neighed, and stepped back three steps.

It was these three steps back that made Yu Yin's knife return in vain, and the two horses staggered.

However, Yu Yin did not turn around and ignore Cao Ning again, and the wheel knife rushed into the Jin army array. The broadsword flew up and down, and the knife flashed. With Yu Yin's roar like a lion, everywhere the people and horses passed, only flesh and blood flew sideways.

Cao Ning was also shocked when he saw this, and was about to turn the horse's head, but he heard someone shouting: "The three family slaves are not yet dead." ”

The saying of the three surnames of domestic slaves only spread after the Ming Dynasty and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He Yuanqing also heard this word from Yu Yin's mouth by accident, and now it is not too much to use it on Cao Ning.

Cao Ning's original surname was Cao, and he used to work for the old Zhao official family, but now he surrendered to the Jurchens.

The names of these three surnames are indeed appropriate.

Cao Ning was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was furious.

He was about to speak, He Yuanqing had already arrived, and a pair of eight-treasure plum blossom bright silver hammers pressed Mount Tai to the top, and they smashed down. Cao Ning hurriedly raised his gun to greet him, and there was a loud sound of bells. The huge force entrained on the bright silver hammer shook Cao Ning's ears and was dizzy. A big spear was smashed and bent into a bow, and the war horse under the crotch neighed even more, and fell to the ground with a poof.

Cao Ning was overturned from the horse's back by a war horse and fell dizzy.

He struggled to get up from the ground, but saw a general with a large gun in his hand, and he was already approaching.
