Cao Rong is old after all!

At the age of more than forty, it would be fine if it was properly maintained, but unfortunately Cao Rong was a dog and horse, and he had already been emptied by wine, and he was no longer as brave as he was back then.

The reason why it is a vanguard army is, to put it bluntly, to plan for Cao Ning's future.

He is old, and relying on the favor of Pharmacist Guo in front of Wanyan Zongwang, Cao Rong is enough to enjoy his old age. It's okay to be a rich man with no power or power. But Cao Ning is still young, and since he has returned to the Jinren, he must always stand firm. Otherwise, once Pharmacist Guo loses his favor, where should Cao Ning go? If you don't have a meritorious service, you will soon be eliminated.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Rong decided to fight this time.

He knew the situation of Song Jun very well, even better than Guo Yaoshi.

Cao Rong knew the combat effectiveness of the Song army and the courage of those officials. He knew that as long as he didn't hit Kaifeng City, he wouldn't encounter too strong resistance. Therefore, from the beginning, Cao Rong's goal was the south bank of the Guangji River.

The success of crossing the river is the first achievement.

It's not a good thing to be too aggressive......

It is precisely for this reason that Cao Rong is reluctant to push forward so eagerly. Capture the sealed hill, and the soldiers are not bloody; Seeking the city of the future is also effortless. In Cao Rong's view, why not do it at the lowest price in exchange for the greatest merit?

However, Cao Ning didn't think so!

He wanted to capture the Guangji River as soon as possible and seize the crossing of the Guangji River.

Cao Rong didn't quite agree with Cao Ning's rash advance at first, in his opinion, it was the right way not to capture the city with a single soldier, and then advance to the Guangji River. That's it. The troop can not only get enough time to recuperate, but also create enough deterrence for Guoqiao Town. He knew very well that Guoqiao Town would inevitably be in chaos at this time.

But Cao Ning persuaded: "Why should my father be so careful, even if he captures Guoqiao Town now, it is not a big deal."

Just look at the Fengqiu defenders to know the situation of the Song army, if it is delayed for a long time, wait for the Song army to ease up. It will take a lot of twists and turns to cross the river and attack again. There is a way that the soldiers are noble and fast, and the child is willing to lead the people and horses of the headquarters to capture the Guangji River. Take that first. ”

Cao Ning's words also make sense.

So after thinking twice, Cao Rong agreed with Cao Ning's idea.

Just as he expected. Period City was almost an empty city, and it didn't take a single soldier to take it by him. Thinking about the situation in Guoqiao Town, it is not much different from the period city, so Cao Rong went to bed early after taking the period city.

It's just that this sleep doesn't seem to be restful.

I don't know why, nightmares repeatedly, when he arrived, he screamed, turned over and sat up from the bed, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.

What's going on?

Cao Ning was puzzled!

He gasped. Cloak got off the bed and washed his face with cold water, and the whole person suddenly became much more sober.

Walking out of the room, I saw a bright moon hanging high, sprinkling the cold moonlight on the world.

This is the government of the Chengcheng County Order. In the small courtyard, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of hoarfrost, giving people a cold and quiet feeling......

Cao Rong stood on the porch for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Someone! ”

"The little bottom is here."

"Is there any news from the young master?"

The entourage who was guarding the courtyard hurriedly said, "Back to the general's words, the young master has not heard from him yet...... According to the young master's marching speed, Guoqiao Town should have been taken at this time. It is approaching the Guangji River, so there is no news. ”

Cao Rong thought about it and felt that there was some truth.

But he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and after wandering for a while, he suddenly made up his mind, "Pass my order, the three armies will gather, eat when you are ugly, and set off when you are wrong." ”

"Huh?"

The relatives were stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, this is just over the time." ”

How can there be a reason for gathering and marching in the middle of the night!

Cao Rong glanced at the retinue coldly, and then said, "Do you want you to teach me how to act?" ”

"Little bottom doesn't dare."

Cao Rong waved his hand and motioned for the kiss to go down.

He returned to the house, but felt the urge to fidget.

…,

Wandering in the house for a while, and sitting there in a daze for a while, the whole person's mood became very anxious.

Cause?

Cao Rong himself can't say clearly!

It stands to reason that Cao Ning shouldn't have any trouble.

My own son's ability is best known to my own family. Cao Ning has been a teacher of Chen Guang, a famous gunner in Xiangzhou, since he was a child, and his martial arts are strong, and he can be described as the champion of the three armies. In the area of Gyeonggi East Road, almost no one is invincible, so there is a gun in Jingdong, and the name of the jade-faced little Wenhou. In terms of the art of war, Cao Ning is not bad...... He studied martial arts, but for some reason he had to leave.

is the head of Kaifeng Martial Arts, and he also thinks that it is a pity for Cao Ning to leave.

But there is no way, who let Cao Ning provoke the then Dazai Wang? It was for this reason that Cao Rong decided to surrender. Even though Wang Hao is dead, for Cao Rong, the hatred of the past has not diminished at all. It's just that he transferred his hatred for Wang Hao to the old Zhao Guan's family. This is also the reason why Pharmacist Guo was able to persuade him.

Cao Ning is both civil and military, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not idle.

In this case, there will be no trouble even if there is resistance.

But Cao Rong just couldn't let go of his heart......

An hour has passed in a blink of an eye.

The Jin army has been assembled and has begun to prepare for dinner.

Cao Rong also had a full meal, and then put on his helmet and armor, and walked out of the gate of the Yamen of Qicheng County. Under the doorsteps, there was already a war horse brought by Hu Cong, and Cao Rong was about to straddle the horse, but suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the end of the long street. Immediately after, I heard someone shouting: "Report ......"

Cao Rong hurriedly turned around and looked intently.

A fast horse came to Cao Rong at a gallop, and immediately the knight rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "General Qiqi, I have to report the battle ahead, the major general was ambushed by the Song army in Guoqiao Town, and the whole army was annihilated. Major General he, he, he...... was also killed by the Song army. ”

"What?"

Cao Rong shuddered, and his face suddenly turned pale.

As early as when the horse came over, Cao Rong had an ominous premonition, who knew that in exchange for such bad news.

"The major general was ambushed by the Song army. Annihilated. ”

"Later, you just said that your major general ......"

Cao Rong walked two steps quickly, and came to the tanma, pulled the tanma up, and asked sharply.

That hideous expression scared the horse away. Fortunately, he was still quite sober and could listen to Cao Rong's question. Then he stammered and replied: "The young general was killed by the Song army. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Cao Rong roared angrily, pushed the probe horse to the ground, and pulled out his sword with a bang. "You're saying it again." ”

Even if you say it ten times, so it is.

Cao Rong's high sword did not fall after all.

He knows. It's no wonder that the scouts are also coming back from the news and reporting the truth.

But this mind was blank, and a wave of anger in his chest rushed to the top of his head, Cao Rong's hands trembled for a long time, and he suddenly roared loudly: "Pass my general, the three armies will attack...... If I don't set foot on Guoqiao Town, I Cao Rong swears not to be a person. ”

As the words fell, the sword in his hand clicked and cut off the bolted horse stake.

Cao Rongtie blushed and turned over on his horse. Rushing towards the school grounds.

The relatives looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, it took a long time to react, and followed Cao Rong to the school.

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

air. There was a strong smell of blood, mixed with the pungent smoke of gunpowder, which made people frown.

The battle is over, and Yuyin urges the horse to wander around the battlefield.

Generally speaking, there was very little real annihilation in ancient battles. The so-called annihilation of the whole army is better said to be the rout of the whole army. And the army of the ancients. If there are more than 20% casualties in a big battle, there will basically be a rout.

For this, Yu Yin didn't find it strange.

Cao Ning was quite pitiful, he was connected by Yuyin He Yuanqing and Gao Pet, and he didn't even understand who the opponent was, so he lost his life.

For this reason, He Yuanqing was quite dissatisfied, and he was still chattering behind Yu Yin, "Thirteen Lang Tsai will be tricky, that thief was obviously knocked off the horse by me, but he gave you a advantage." However, this bird guy looks very powerful, and he can't help but fight. ”

…,

Gao Pet was on the side, hehe smiled.

He Yuanqing's complaints, he had no intention of returning the favor.

No matter what He Yuanqing said, that Cao Ning had already died in his hands.

As soon as Cao Ning died, the Jin army was in chaos. was thundered by the palm of his hand, and the Jin army was already in a mess, and as soon as Cao Ning died, he lost his spirit. Niu Gao and Dong Xian led the infantry army to take advantage of the opportunity to kill fiercely, and about 300 of the 1,000 gold troops were killed and wounded, and the rest fled in disarray. This battle can be described as a complete victory for the Song army. The Song army killed 12 people and wounded more than 30 people, and the results were brilliant.

But Yuyin didn't feel happy, and wandered around the battlefield with people.

Wang Min Qiuzheng led his troops to clean up the battlefield, and from time to time there would be one or two terrible screams.

But Yu Yin turned a deaf ear.

He thought he had adapted to this kind of fighting, and even during the big war, Yu Yin thought so.

Who would have thought that after the blood and qi fell back and the whole person calmed down, there was a burst of inexplicable coldness......

Yu Yin suddenly reined in his horse and looked around.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Old Pang, have you ever sent scouts?" ”

Pang Wanchun urged him to step forward and said in a deep voice: "General Huiyu, I have already sent scouts to the city to inquire about the news......

"Tidy up this place and let the brethren rest early.

After dawn, I am afraid there will be another fierce battle. Cao Rong's pain of losing a child may become even more vicious than before. ”

Pang Wanchun listened and nodded approvingly.

"General, you should go back and rest earlier."

Pang Wanchun was born in the army, once rebelled from Fangla, and was a general among the thieves. 's understanding of military affairs is not comparable to Yuyin. As early as the Jin soldiers retreated, Pang Wanchun had already guessed that there would be a fierce battle coming.

Cao Ning is dead, how can Cao Rong give up?

When he arrives in Guoqiao Town, it will be life and death.

Although after this battle, Yu Yin won a complete victory, it was indeed relying on the opponent's light enemy and the palm thunder in Yu Yin's hand.

Will Cao Rong repeat the mistakes of the past? We don't know yet!

However, Pang Wanchun knew that the next battle would never be as easy as before.

Yu Yin didn't answer, but urged the horse forward.

Pang Wanchun saw this. hurriedly followed, and said softly: "Xiao Yi is worried, Cao Rong?" ”

"Cao Rong?"

Yu Yin heard this, but smiled.

"What can a guy who has lost his beloved son and his mind do? I'm not worried about Cao Rong, but about Pharmacist Guo behind Cao Rong.

I'm thinking. How many days are we going to hold on to this Guoqiao Town? ”

Pharmacist Guo?

Pang Wanchun rubbed his nose, not knowing how to interface.

He was right to Pharmacist Guo. Nothing to understand...... It is no wonder that Pharmacist Guo has been in the north for many years, while Pang Wanchun rebelled in the south of the Yangtze River. The two didn't know each other at all, and even before they came to Kaifeng, Pang Wanchun didn't know where Pharmacist Guo was sacred.

"That Cao Rong...... How should Xiao Yi deal with it? ”

Yu Yin strangled the dark gold, and pointed to a wasteland in front of him, "With such a terrain, what else can be done except to fight to the death?" ”

Guo Yaoshi was stunned, that is to say, Yu Yin didn't know how to fight the enemy at all!

Fight to the death?

With more than 1,000 people, he competed with more than 2,000 wolf-like thieves. It's really a lot of wins and losses. Not to mention, his own horse army is only 200, while the Jin army is almost all cavalry. Cao Rong's troops, although they are not as good as the Jurchen Tiefutu, are also warriors in heavy armor. More than 2,000 cavalry charged. How can you resist it?

"What Xiao Yi means, is it ...... Follow the example of the previous one, with the palm of the thunder? ”

"I brought a total of 300 palm mines, and I consumed more than 70 last night...... Moreover, Cao Rong will get the news that I have this sharp weapon in my hands. It will definitely not be like Cao Ning, recklessly pounced. If you use palm thunder in formation, I'm afraid that the effect is not good. But the only thing we can rely on now is those more than 200 palm thunders......"

Yu Yin's words were inconsistent.

But Pang Wanchun heard what Yu Yin meant: if you want to defeat Cao Rong, you can only rely on the power of the palm thunder.

…,

But how to use this palm thunder to be able to play an effect, you also need to carefully test the school and come up with a charter.

Speaking of which, Pang Wanchun also saw a firearm like palm thunder for the first time.

He was also very shocked by the power of the palm thunder, and he never thought it would be so terrifying. He saw with his own eyes that Jin Bing's flesh and blood were blurred by the thunder explosion in his palm. When the battlefield was cleared, there was almost no human appearance, only a pile of rotten meat.

The power of palm thunder is indeed amazing.

But how to exert its power requires careful consideration.

Pang Wanchun rode beside Ma Yuyin, looking at the vast wilderness, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Then how is Xiao Yi going to resist?"

Yu Yin, but turned around.

Under the moonlight, the city wall of Guoqiao Town looms.

Pang Wanchun's eyes suddenly flashed, "If you can't fight in the field, why don't you defend the city?" ”

"Huh?"

"Although Guoqiao Town is not very strong, it is a walled city after all...... The captives are good at field warfare, and most of our side are foot soldiers, and only by defending the city can we have a glimmer of life. ”

"Brother, will you come out?"

Yu Yin knew that in terms of strategy and tactics, he could not compare to an expert like Pang Wanchun.

I think that at the beginning, Pang Wanchun had commanded thousands of troops and horses, and had experienced countless tragic battles before he survived until now. Not to mention anything else, Pang Wanchun's eyesight and his control of the war are by no means comparable to Yuyin.

Even if Yu Yin is a traversal and has a thousand-year vision, he is not from a military background.

Pang Wanchun smiled slightly and whispered in Yu Yin's ear.

Yu Yin frowned at first...... But gradually, a smile appeared.

Perhaps, that's a really good idea!

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

It's getting brighter!

On the seventh day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Cao Rong led an army of 2,000 people, stepping on the morning mist, roaring from the city of periods, and approaching Guoqiao Town.

Along the way, Cao Rong gradually calmed down.

He even asked people to gather the Jin army that had retreated from Guoqiao Town, carefully inquired about the situation of the Song army, and also had a general understanding of the confrontation between Cao Ning and the Song army last night. It was not that Cao Ning was incompetent, but that Song Jun had a firearm in his hand, which caught Cao Ning off guard. Of course, there seem to be a few strong generals in the Song army, and it is said that they are the three armies of the brave champions.

However, Jin Jun didn't know anything about the three Song generals.

Even Cao Rong himself doesn't remember that there are such fierce generals in the Tokyo Forbidden Army.

He knew that there was a Cao Ning in the Golden Gun Squad in front of the palace, and he also knew that there was a Hu Yanzhuo in the Guards and Guards Ma Jun Division.

Those famous generals of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, Cao Rong mostly knows.

Even, he also knew that Wang Yange, the wife of Ma Gao, the commander of the front division of the palace, although she was a female general, she was a woman who did not let her eyebrows......

However, I don't know where the three Song generals are.

Although Cao Rong said that he was sad to lose his beloved son, he wanted to avenge Cao Ning. But he is not a reckless man. This point can be seen from the beginning of his slow advance, the plundering of one city after another.

Therefore, the more revenge he is, the calmer Cao Rong becomes.

After carefully inquiring about the battle situation, he came to a conclusion: the Song army had a firearm, not a weapon like a thunderbolt cannon or a leather paper cannon that he was familiar with, but a firearm that could be carried and thrown. This kind of firearm is amazingly powerful, and the sound of the explosion is very loud, which can make the war horse panic. However, Cao Rong heard the weakness of the palm thunder: it could only be thrown by hand, the range of the explosion was very small, and as long as the cavalry did not crowd in one place, the power would be reduced.

If so, they will scatter and attack.

The Song army in Guoqiao Town did not have too many cavalry troops, and it was difficult to do anything by relying on foot soldiers alone.

The most important thing is that he already knows that Guoqiao Town is almost an empty city, and the Song army in Guoqiao Town is just a lone army.

My son shall not be afraid, for the Father will avenge you!"

Cao Rong was determined in his heart, and immediately ordered the cavalry to pull away and press towards Guoqiao Town.

The morning sun shines on the earth.

Guoqiao Town stood cold and clear in the morning light, revealing a cold air.

…,

Outside the town, there are still traces of last night's battle. Cao Rong rode forward and raised his eyes to look at Guoqiao Town, but he didn't see a shadow of the Song army.

The gate of Guoqiao Town is closed, and a wooden pole is erected on the head of the city.

On the wooden pole, a corpse hung from it, stripped of its fines, and swayed in the early morning breeze.

Cao Rong hurriedly looked carefully, but couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He could see clearly that the corpse hanging on the pole was Cao Ning.

"Song Gou bullied me too much!"

Ben's calm state of mind was shattered by the corpse at once.

Cao Rong could no longer hold back the roar in his heart, raised the big gun, and roared sharply: "Sanjun Erlang, charge with me ......"

Jin Bing, accompanied by Cao Rong's roar, shouted in unison.

More than 2,000 iron horsemen rushed over to Guoqiao Town, and came to the city gate in the blink of an eye.

But the city head of Guoqiao Town is still quiet.

Seeing this situation, Cao Rong couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he hesitated, and then ordered: "The Song army does not dare to fight, and the sons and daughters dismount and attack the city." ”

The Jin army was mainly cavalry, and although there were no large siege equipment, they also carried simple siege equipment.

The rejection horse was quickly erected, and after dozens of Jin troops raised the rejection horse, they shouted and rushed towards the gate of Guoqiao Town...... Cao Rong reined in the city and stared at the movement on the city. Unconsciously, the cavalry under his command was inadvertently gathering in one place.
