When the officials and soldiers of the imperial court launched a surprise attack, they were also discovered by these soldiers under Li Quan, so they immediately rushed to the edge of the village with the idea of underestimating the enemy, and began to line up at the entrance of the village to prepare to meet the enemy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the way to Ruijia Village led by Tang Zhen, the soldiers of the forward battalion saw a large number of corpses of ordinary people appearing outside the village along both sides of the road, many of whom were stabbed or arrowed in the back and killed outside the village.

Gao Huaiyuan is very strict in governing the army, and on weekdays, he requires the Holy Protector Army not to disturb the people, after this dispatch, it is a repeated order to reaffirm military discipline, and the people must be cherished along the way, and there must be no disturbance of the people, so seeing the people of Ruijia Village being slaughtered, Tang Zhen and his soldiers were suddenly furious, this was originally their Great Song people, even if two emperors fought for the throne, what crime did these people have? Why was it treated and slaughtered like this?

Therefore, Tang Zhen raised the big knife in his hand and said angrily: "The rebels deserve to die, killing the common people like this, the brothers have listened to it, and when they see them for a while, no one can tolerate them, kill them all for me, and let them pay the price for it!" ”

Although the soldiers under him were a little nervous, after seeing such a tragic situation, they were also filled with righteous indignation, agreed loudly, and rushed to Ruijia Village with Tang Zhen behind him.

When they had just entered the distance of about a stone's throw from Ruijia Village, they saw some people wearing the uniform of the Northern Army appearing behind the low wall at the edge of the village, and they had already lined up to prepare for defense, so Tang Zhen immediately ordered the sword and axe men to raise their shields and step forward, and then ordered the archers in the camp to line up behind them, and pushed them up together in a horizontal column.

"Shoot the arrows!" As soon as the rebel leader gave an order, the archers of the Northern Army stationed in Ruijia Village immediately stepped forward, pulled the bowstring apart, and immediately began to shoot at the onrushing Guardian soldiers.

So a rain of arrows immediately sprinkled among the Holy Protectors, causing a little panic, and a few unlucky soldiers immediately fell to the ground with arrows, but after Tang Zhen raised his knife and knocked off a carving feather, he shouted loudly: "Don't stop, continue to charge me, the crossbowman will release arrows, and suppress them for me!" ”

So after a little panic, the group picked up again, and the crossbowmen immediately fired from their backs, and flew out from the head of the axemen from the rain of arrows, scattered among the northern army at the edge of the village, and immediately shot and killed several northern soldiers with color.

An arrow is a distance of more than 100 meters, and it only takes a moment to attack even the infantry at full speed, and after only a short exchange of bows and arrows between the two sides, Tang Zhen led the army into the low wall, and then started a battle with these northern generals.

Suddenly, a fierce battle was staged outside Ruijia Village, although these northern troops were battle-hardened generals under Li Quan's command, but this time they were not too interested in going out to fight here, after all, this place was for others to do things, and they were not very active.

Moreover, they also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the southern army in front of them a little, thinking that this group of old soldiers who had been pampered all day long in Lin'an City must not be strong, and if they killed a few of them casually, it was estimated that they would collapse, and it could be regarded as a small lesson for them first.

But what they didn't expect was that Tang Zhen's army's fighting spirit exceeded their expectations, the two armies had just come into contact with the low wall, although they relied on their geographical advantages, stabbed and killed a few Song troops who tried to cross the low wall with their spears, but they didn't expect that the opponent did not collapse as expected, but rushed forward one after another with a roar, and even the archers behind the palace also put on their crossbows together after seeing the two armies in short combat, and pulled out the talisman waist knife at the waist, followed by the knife and axe hand in front, Towards the village.

And the front of these knife and axe hands are particularly well-equipped, although the armor on the body is only light armor, but it is the armor carefully created by the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty, the defensive effect of the sword is quite good, often cut off with a knife, just chop a few armor leaves, but can not hurt the other party, and their northern army armor is incomplete, often a knife can not put down the opponent, the opponent will immediately counterattack, the result is that they failed to kill the opponent, but watched the opponent cut themselves to the ground, and these southern troops are obviously quite well-trained, The cooperation between them is very tacit, and the limited spearmen support the attack of the axe men in the back, so that the sword and axe men of the northern army cannot swarm forward, and they will stab and kill the people who jump on the low wall, and the combat effectiveness far exceeds their expectations.

Therefore, under the leadership of Tang Zhen, the low wall only slightly blocked their attack, and in a short time, Tang Zhen took the lead in jumping onto the low wall, and cut down two enemy soldiers in a row, and then the soldiers behind him followed him with red eyes, and also crossed the low wall, rushed into these northern armies and started a battle with them.

As more and more soldiers of the Holy Protector Army jumped into the temporary low wall, and soon the number of people on Tang Zhen's side exceeded the defending Northern Army, and these Imperial Northern Army found that the big thing was not good, so under the order of their leader, they collectively turned around and fled towards the other end of the village, Tang Zhen immediately led the soldiers to shout and followed into the village.

So after only a stick of incense time, the offensive and defensive battles turned into street battles in the village, and the other two teams were also under the leadership of their heads, breaking through the defense of the northern army together and entering the village, this time the northern army was in chaos, and everywhere there were groups of holy guards who would shout and chase after the northern army, and the northern army was defeated at one touch, which caught them off guard, and suddenly they were also confused, scrambling to flee outside Ruijia Village, and the northern army that lost its command immediately became a rout, was killed by Tang Zhen's army in Ruijia Village, and the army was defeated on his horse.

Under the pursuit of Tang Zhen and others, more than 200 northern troops only escaped less than 30 people, and the rest were killed by the Holy Protector Army, leaving only two or three leaders to be captured alive, and Tang Zhen's men only paid the price of less than 30 people, which can be said to be a complete victory and ended the first battle of the Holy Protector Army.

When Gao Huaiyuan led the army to Ruijia Village, Tang Zhen had already led his troops to completely wipe out Ruijia Village, and had already arranged for people to collect the corpses of the people inside and outside the village and place them on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village.

As the soldiers passed through the village, they all silently stared at the corpses of the civilians slaughtered by the rebels on both sides of the road, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in their hearts.

And Gao Huaiyuan also seized the opportunity to make his subordinates and generals to publicize in the army, as evidence, so that the soldiers could recognize who was rebellious.

In the eyes of many people, this war is a bit inexplicable, both sides are the descendants of the Zhao family, fighting for a throne and their own families, but they have to come to sell their lives, and they feel that it is not worth it, so it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

The effect of such propaganda on raising morale is not obvious, but now when the ferocity of the rebels is placed in front of everyone's eyes, it undoubtedly greatly shocks everyone in the army, so that many people's concepts begin to change, and they begin to think that King Ji's behavior is indeed a rebellion, otherwise, why would their rebels slaughter these innocent people?

See for yourself, brethren! This is what the rebels of King Ji did! While they claim that they are orthodox, they keep saying what kind of rebellion, now let's see! Who is a rebel? What's wrong with the common people? If they treat the common people as their people, why would they do such cruelty to the unarmed common people? Gao Huaiyuan dismounted and stood in front of the corpses of these ordinary people, pointed to the corpses of these ordinary people with pain, and summoned all the generals who participated in the war with the army in front of him, and said loudly to them.

These generals also immediately showed a look of anger, and even the Zhong Jian Jun who accompanied the army also stood up and agitated loudly, in the end, he was a literati, scolding people without dirty words but scolding King Ji's behavior with blood, scolding King Ji as a heinous person, and creating an atmosphere of hatred and hatred among the whole army.

Gao Huaiyuan looked coldly at where Zhong Jianjun expressed his opinions, and said in his heart that there could be no literati in the army, after all, sometimes they still have a little effect! As long as these people do not interfere with the march and battle, in fact, they can also give full play to their abilities, but it is a pity that the military system of the Song Dynasty has been reversed, which has led to the current situation of the country's wealth and weak soldiers.

If he takes power one day, he will definitely change the current situation, and he must let the people of the world see the Han people in the Han and Tang dynasties again!

"Kill them all! ......" Gao Huaiyuan was secretly pondering this matter, when he was suddenly startled by a loud shout, and when he looked up, he saw that the blood of these generals who had been instigated by Zhong Jianjun was boiling, and they all drew their waist knives and raised them in the air and roared in unison.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately retracted his distraction, turned over and said: "Since all the monarchs have understood why they are fighting, then the rebels are in front, how long will they stay if they don't kill the enemy?" Launched! Bingfa Hongjieshan! This official will lead all the kings to destroy the rebellious thieves for the world! ”

So a group of generals, under their encouragement, turned over their horses one after another, each set their horses and galloped back to their respective armies, urging their respective soldiers and horses, and speeding up the march towards Hongjie Mountain.
