Chapter Twenty-Seven: Transferred to Guangling County
Yandu County is on the east coast of the sea, and within the county boundaries are pavilions for boiling salt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Young master, we have entered the boundary of Yandu County. Listening to the live mouth that I just caught, because of the east coast of the sea, there are less than 2,000 defenders here, do we want it? Zhao Hu said, making a hand knife down the cutting motion.
"No, although we have passed through Song Gang's defense area, but now there is Antai in the north, Song Gang in the northwest, and Guo Chun's main force in Gaoyou County in the southwest, and there are enemy armies on three sides. Moreover, if we are blocked in Yandu, we will not be able to attract the enemy's main force to attack, so we still have to continue to move south quickly and further mobilize the enemy. ”
With the victory of two consecutive battles, not only did Zhao Ning build up self-confidence, but the team inspired fighting spirit and morale, and everyone became more convinced of what Zhao Ning said.
So Zhao Ning's army bypassed Yandu and went straight south. And Yandu has few soldiers, knowing that Zhao Ning is going around the city, he can protect the city without losing it, and the thieves defending the city are already secretly happy, how can they still have the heart to intercept the pursuit and seek bad luck for themselves.
Here, Zhao Ning's army had just left the border of Yandu County, and Song Gang's brother Song Zhen arrived from Gaoyou with 10,000 strong soldiers, but he just happened to pounce.
Although this Song Zhen is Song Gang's own brother, he is not in Song Gang's army on weekdays, but in Gaoyou to assist Guo Chun, and learned that the official army with a team of several thousand people, first killed Chu Jun, and then passed Ping'an, Sheyang, and went deep into the territory of Guangling County, and immediately personally led the troops to catch up, and the action was not unpleasant, if Zhao Ning hesitated a little, maybe he really had to encounter him, and there was a vicious battle.
Next, Zhao Ning found out that Song Zhenbu was chasing him, so he didn't stop, and led people all the way to Hailing, through Guangling, and on the fifth day, he entered the realm of Tangyi. Along the way, Zhao Ningbu also encountered several stragglers of more than 100 people, all of which were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and did not delay the march, but they always left Song Zhen's 10,000 army behind, dragging it out miserably.
After all, Zhao Ningjun's marching ability is not comparable to that of ordinary anti-thieves.
And Guo Chun's troops are also limited. Now there are only four armies that can maneuver. The first is the 10,000 horses of Song Zhen who followed Zhao Ning's buttocks, the second is the 8,000 people of Antai who besieged Haixi, the third is the 20,000 people of Ping An Song Gang, and the fourth is the 20,000 people of Guo Chun, the Gaoyou camp. The rest of the counties are only two or three thousand people each responsible for garrisoning, how can they have the ability to intercept Zhao Ning?
"It's already Tangyi County in front, I really don't know when this official army wants to run, is it possible that they still want to enter the mountains to be kings?" A small leader beside Song Zhen said.
"Phew, with their little guts, they still mix green forest roads? Have you ever seen such a cowardly man in the green forest? Song Zhen hated it.
"That's it, that's it, with their guts, they have been chased by us for so many days, and they don't dare to fight with us, they look like they are instigating!" The other leader chimed in.
Under Guo Chun's command, half of the sky is supported by the Song family brothers, and all the little minions naturally have to speak according to Song Zhen's meaning.
"It's not that we chew our tongues, the big boss is too able to delay, some time ago because of the illness of the youngest daughter, I can't think about things, and during this time, I have been giving the old lady a big birthday all day long, which is really a waste of a great opportunity. If we follow the meaning of the second master (Song Gang), we have already entered Tanxian County and ordered the entire Xuzhou at this time, how can we let the officials and troops enter our Guangling instead? A small leader looked at Song Zhen's face and said.
"Put your dog's stinky fart, and then his grandmother's nonsense, Lao Tzu cut you! Our boss is also something you can talk about casually? Song Zhen listened, but suddenly said with a cold face.
Scared the guy so busy that he shut up.
This lord is not joking when he speaks, the people he has cut are not less, there are not a hundred but eighty, the brothers all discussed in private, saying that this Song Zhen may be short of something, so he wants to cut people at every turn.
The group was talking nonsense, and suddenly a cold arrow slashed by, and Song Zhen, who was about to continue scolding, subconsciously tilted his head, only to feel that the whole ear was hot, but most of his ears were shot by an arrow. At the same time, an arrow was also stuck in the neck of the horse when he sat down, and the horse was startled, turned its head and galloped, and threw Song Zhen to the ground. And a small leader beside him had an arrow stuck in his forehead and fell straight down.
On the side of the road more than fifty steps away, Lian Zhan scolded hatefully, "Damn, let him pick up a small life." ”
"Less nonsense, get out of the way!" Zhao Ning turned over on his horse first and shouted.
It turned out that Zhao Ning was skillful with bows and horses, and they ambushed in advance and attacked Song Zhen and his guys, although one blow failed to take Song Zhen's life, but there were too many people on the opposite side at this time, and they couldn't do it with one blow, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly got on their horses and retreated.
"Damn, chase after Lao Tzu!" Song Zhen endured the severe pain and shouted, "Catch them, cut them first and then cut them." ”
The anti-thieves saw that Song Zhen was injured and ruthless, and no one dared to say much, those who had horses urged horses, and those who did not have horses chased after them. It's better to catch a few officers and soldiers and cut that pervert, but don't be angry with me, most of the bandits muttered in their hearts.
Zhao Ning and a few people are good, which is what they said they could chase, they ran for several miles in one breath, the thieves had to slow down, they had been chasing for several days, they had already tossed enough, how could they still withstand such a run, seeing that Zhao Ning and the three had no shadow, they had to stop, panting one by one.
At this moment, in the dense woods on the top of the hillside ahead, thousands of arrows flew out at the same time, and hundreds of people lost their lives under this volley. The distance was too close, only sixty or seventy paces, and there was no time to dodge.
Before this side could react, the second round of salvos came again, followed by the third.
However, it was Zhao Ning who asked the three men and horses to line up separately, hide in the woods, and shoot in three alternating salvos.
Round after round of arrows rained down, and the thieves who couldn't move were like live targets, dozens or hundreds of them were falling. reacted, didn't care about getting tired, and could only run back with his life.
Song Zhen is fateful, after falling off the horse, he couldn't catch up in time, but he didn't need to take a shower at this time. But the front team, which frantically retreated, quickly disrupted the rear team that was still unknown.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning's troops are limited, and he has to maintain the line formation of archers, so he can't catch up in time, if Zhao Ning has another thousand cavalry at this time, or two or three thousand infantry, then Song Zhen's 10,000 people will have to be reimbursed again.
The officers and soldiers did not chase after them all the time, and after throwing more than 2,000 corpses, Song Zhen's men and horses finally ran out of the range of the officers and troops, and finally regained their footing.
Song Zhen had this nest fire in his heart, he had never fought such a bad battle, after chasing the other party for several days, the first confrontation, he actually handed over a casualty of more than 0 to 2,000, and put on an ear.
"In the future, when you want to cut someone again, everyone will stare at their ears and laugh." Song Zhen thought wildly in his heart.
After a few days of pursuit, he had forgotten that in front of him was an elite force with a much stronger quality than his brothers, although the number was much smaller than his own side, but the combat effectiveness was extremely amazing, although he had been chased by himself, but the people ran much easier than his own brothers.
Perhaps, these days it is not that he is chasing others at all, but that others are playing with him.
Yes, they are the evil stars who defeated Chu Jun's army overnight, why were they careless?
When Song Zhen's team looked at the hillside where more than 2,000 brothers had been buried for a long time, the person sent out to investigate finally returned, and the other party withdrew, and there was no one in the woods above the hillside.
But the more than 2,000 corpses on the hillside have no right ear, and there is not a single intact and usable arrow on the entire hillside. What kind of army is this?
Song Zhen even wanted to retreat for a moment, but the ears that were still bandaged still reminded him again and again that this revenge must be avenged!
However, in the days that followed, the brothers could not find the officer, and it was heard that they had gone into the mountains.
Three days later.
Song Zhen's team is still looking for it in Tangyi County, and has repeatedly sent people into Hengshan to search.
"Young Master, do we have to go to Biwa Lake to 'take a turn'?" Although he has won consecutive battles in the past eight days and has boosted his morale, when he heard the young master say that he would take everyone to Biwa Lake, where Guo Chun started, to "go around", Lian Chao still shook his head.
"We've already turned the entire Guangling County around for half a circle, and we haven't touched that Guo Chun, so how can we do if we don't go to Biwa Lake? What's more, people are so filial to give my wife an 80th birthday, you don't want to celebrate her birthday? ”
Zhao Hu obviously didn't listen to this, "Young Master, it is certain that Biwa Lake is heavily guarded at this time, and I even suspect that the so-called Shou is simply a trap to lure us to the bait." ”
"Oh? Yin me? We have only been in Guangling for eight days, and it is said that Guo Chun has been busy in Biwa Lake for more than 20 days. ”
Zhao Ning and the others did enter Hengshan, and drilled in and out of Caomiao Mountain and Yeshan, but then they went out day and night, and touched Guo Chun's nest, near Gaoyou. Turning down in such a big circle, it naturally avoided Song Zhen's ears and eyes.
"Didn't the young master say it? The most dangerous place is the safest place, even you think that we shouldn't come to Gaoyou, so Guo Chun and Song Zhen naturally won't think of it. Lian Zhan shook his head and said.
Biwa Lake is Gaoyou Lake, located in the west of Gaoyou County, where Guo Chun's old nest was before he raised his army, and his wife is still there. When he killed someone, he ran hundreds of miles with his wife on his back before he threw himself into Erlong Mountain in Biwa Lake, joined the gang, and later became a big boss.
Back then, he fled with his old lady on his back, but it spread throughout the entire Green Forest Road, and everyone who mentioned his surname Guo had to give a thumbs up and praise him for being a dutiful son. Now, his wife is eighty years old, Guo Chun is still as filial to him as before, in order to prepare for her eighty birthday, Guo Chun even put down all the major events on the front line, ran back to Biwa Lake Erlong Mountain, and worked for almost 20 days.
Biwa Lake Erlong Mountain, is a well-known name on the green forest road, when the Emperor Yan died, the world was in chaos, Erlong Mountain produced a good man, named Ran Xing, assisted the Great Chu Wei Emperor Qu Xiong, built a great feat, and later in a big war, in order to save the Wei Emperor, Ran Xing was heavily injured in thirteen places, still fighting unyieldingly, covering the Wei Emperor successfully escaped, and he was finally surrounded and killed by the enemy.
That Ran Xing is almost the most famous general in the Green Forest Road. After Ran Xing, although the prestige of Erlong Mountain is declining, it is still the mountain that can be counted in the green forest road of Xuzhou, claiming to have 6,000 heroes, which is many times stronger than the previous Baihe Village and the current Chizui Peak in Donghai County.
Therefore, this time there was a natural disaster, Guo Chun ascended to the top and shouted, so that everyone could respond and make a vigorous movement.
"Changshan Black Mountain Cottage is here for three masters!"
"Yuzhang Jinjiang Gang is here!"
"Chizui Peak in the East China Sea is less at home!"
