There was no suspense about what happened next, the Jin soldiers who lost their command became a plate of scattered sand, when the Song army was killed, they couldn't afford to resist at all, and most of the Jin soldiers saw that there was no hope of escaping, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to save their lives.

Only a few die-hard Jin soldiers tried to gather together and stubbornly resist and break through, but the Song army would not give them such an opportunity, and under the hard work of the soldiers of all armies, they were quickly killed, and the battle ended in less than two hours.

Of the more than 4,000 gold soldiers in this battle, only the main general and his less than 200 pro-troops were able to escape, the rest were killed more than 1,000 people, and the rest were all captured by the Song army.

And this battle was also recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, known as the Great Victory of Qifang Town, which completely contained the Jin army's continued southward offensive.

Gao Huaiyuan ordered people to clear the earth and rocks blocking the gate of the town, opened the gate, welcomed Meng Zongzheng and his party into the town, and stepped forward to see Meng Zongzheng and other generals.

When Meng Zongzheng arrived in the town, when he saw Gao Huaiyuan standing in front of the gate of the town covered in blood waiting for them, he took the initiative to dismount and walked towards Gao Huaiyuan.

Seeing that Meng Zongzheng had dismounted, the rest of the accompanying soldiers also dismounted one after another, and followed Meng Zongzheng to the gate of the town on foot.

Gao Huaiyuan bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Young general Gao Huaiyuan, welcome Meng Xuan!" The young general is in armor, please forgive the young general for not being able to salute it all! He is still not accustomed to the etiquette of the ancients kneeling around, so he found an excuse for himself and stood and spoke.

Meng Zongzheng walked a few steps, came to Gao Huaiyuan, supported his arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "Commander Gao should not be polite, if it weren't for Commander Gao to drag the Jin Army here, it would be difficult for us to achieve such a great victory, and Commander Gao should be the first to take the lead!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan naturally knew that he had made great contributions this time, but he had to be humble and humble, which made Meng Zongzheng and others feel good.

They are all people who lead troops to fight, naturally know the dangerous situation Gao Huaiyuan faced in this battle, if he is with a group of regular troops, with 2,000 people to block the attack of the Jin army of 4,000 people, it is nothing, the difficult thing is that he brought a group of untrained villagers this time, and it is also a group of stragglers composed of several township soldiers, who have never undergone any decent training, but they have achieved such a record, and everyone can't help but secretly stretch out their thumbs and nod their heads to praise.

Hu Zaixing also rode over with his subordinates at this time, and as soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he went up and patted Gao Huaiyuan's shoulder vigorously, laughed and said, "Look! I have already seen that this little guy is by no means an ordinary person, and this time he really lived up to our expectations and dragged Jin Jun here! Meng Chan's plan is really powerful, and the siege of Zaoyang can be solved now! Ha ha! Gao Huaiyuan's old wound on his shoulder had just healed, and a new injury was added, and he grinned at his teeth, shrank his shoulder, and unloaded the strength of his big slap.

As soon as Meng Zongzheng heard Hu Zaixing's words, he immediately gave him a look and tried to stop him from talking, but Hu Zaixing was a rough man, even if he was one of the few generals who came up from the soldiers below, he was also a straight intestine, but he didn't understand it immediately, he still laughed and patted Gao Huaiyuan's shoulder and said: "This time fortunately, it was you who escorted the team over, otherwise, we might have been taken advantage of by the Jin soldiers, Meng Zaixing is very good at you, and he sees that you can take on this important responsibility, his ability to recognize people is much stronger than my old man!" ”

Meng Zongzheng was a little dizzy by this guy at this time, he looked at Hu Zaixing again and again, Meng Hui next to him was even more anxious and sweating, Hu Zaixing realized that he had talked too much, so he touched his nose in embarrassment, laughed dryly, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, let's find a clean place to talk!" Hehe! After saying that, he quickly retreated behind Meng Zongzheng.

Gao Huaiyuan completely understood this now, he was a little suspicious of this matter, why did he not find Meng Zongzheng's army after he escorted the team over, and almost got into the Jin army, if he hadn't been a little alert, he might have plunged into the arms of the Jin army, this matter was a bit weird, let their large-scale baggage team go, this is not in line with common sense! I was vaguely suspicious of this matter, and felt that I was being used as a gun this time, but there was no evidence!

But after listening to Hu Zaixing's words, he no longer had to doubt it, this time he was really called by Meng Zongzheng as a super big incense bait, it turned out that Meng Zongzheng had long known the news that his baggage battalion was coming, and he regarded his gang of people as earthworms for fishing, which attracted Jin soldiers to come from Zaoyang to bite the hook, if he was a cicada, the Jin army was a praying mantis, Meng Zongzheng They were yellow sparrows this time, and finally killed so many soldiers and horses of the Jin army in one fell swoop.

Although this plan is yin enough, Gao Huaiyuan was furious in his heart, although these people are not regular soldiers, they are all living people with families and mouths! Meng Zongzheng did this, he really didn't treat his own people as human beings, could it be that the lives of his own people were so worthless?

If it weren't for the fact that he was a little more clever and ruthless, this time these two thousand Xiangyong would all be explained here, no matter how you say that these people are also flesh and blood people, wouldn't it be too much for them to do this?

After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan's heart was full of joy, and he suddenly felt as if he had been poured cold water on the winter, his heart was cold, his face suddenly sank, and his originally arched body gradually straightened up, sneered slightly, and said to Meng Zongzheng with his fists: "Lord Meng is really a good plan!" Gao admires! However, Gao was fortunate not to be dishonored, and finally did not let the Jin army succeed and kept these supplies, otherwise, I am afraid that the head of the young general would have been lost! ”

Meng Zongzheng and the others immediately saw the change in Gao Huaiyuan's mood, but they didn't blame him for the thorn in this sentence, after all, anyone who puts this kind of thing on him will be angry, few people like to be played as monkeys, Gao Huaiyuan's reaction is purely normal, otherwise, it means that Gao Huaiyuan's city is really unfathomable!

Meng Zongzheng glared at Hu Zaixing, who was embarrassed, then smiled, and said politely to Gao Huaiyuan: "Commander Gao, don't be angry, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's go into the town and talk about it!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan snorted angrily and replied, "The young general doesn't dare!" Lord Meng, please come into town! ”

Meng Zongzheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan's angry appearance, shook his head helplessly, and led everyone into the town.

Gao Huaiyuan followed them, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he entered the town, he pretended to be seriously injured and physically exhausted, and said to Meng Zongzheng and the others again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the young general is injured, and the dizziness is terrible at this time, please forgive the young general for being rude, I want to take a break for a while, and then come to report the situation of this battle to you, the materials here are all there, and the young general will send someone to hand over to Lord Meng immediately!" ”

Of course, Meng Zongzheng knew that Gao Huaiyuan was playing with his temper, but looking at the bloodstains on his body, he also knew that he had worked really hard in the past two days, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything here, so he nodded and said: "Commander Gao's body is important, go down to bandage it first, treat the wound and then say it's not too late, and order the medical officer, hurry up and come over to treat Commander Gao!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan coldly pushed away his kindness, turned around and left them, found a spare room and went in, and instructed Jia Qi: "You go and sort out the list of supplies here, hand over these things to the army, if anyone wants to see me, just say that I am seriously injured, and no one will see me!" ”

Jia Qi naturally knew what Gao Huaiyuan was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Little obey!" Then he turned around and went down to arrange.

The more Gao Huaiyuan thought about it, the more angry he became, originally he had a lot of respect for Meng Zongzheng, but this time he felt that Meng Zongzheng was really not authentic, and he was simply disregarding human life by doing so! The strategy is a good plan, but at least you should ventilate yourself in advance, let yourself be prepared, and then talk about it, so that you will not almost crash into the camp of the Jin Army the night before yesterday, if you make a slight mistake, then his plan is equivalent to lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, not only can not kill the Jin Army, but it will cheapen so many supplies of the Jin Army in vain, which is equivalent to investing in the enemy!

As a result, he began to despise Meng Zongzheng a little, thinking that he was just a clever person, at most he was a talented person, and letting him lead the troops to fight was simply joking with the lives of the officers and soldiers!

The reason why this battle was won should not be the result of Meng Zongzheng's good planning, but purely accident, which made him famous!

Gao Huaiyuan was sulky in his stomach, and he didn't bother to take care of things anymore, so after taking off his armor, he threw it on the ground, called Zhou Hao, and cleaned up the wounds on his body for himself.

Zhou Hao was also like him, after knowing about this matter, he felt that Meng Zongzheng was really inauthentic to do this, and while treating Gao Huaiyuan's wounds, he said: "The boss has done everything he should do, and he is worthy of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, let's go back to Daye, the province is being tricked here!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan was about to answer, when suddenly the voice of his subordinate who was blocking him came from outside the door: "This lord, our senior commander is seriously injured and is resting, it is inconvenient to meet guests at this time, my lord, please go back!" ”

"Bold! I am a friend of your commanding authority, and how can you stop me from seeing him? Get out of the way, I must see him now! A familiar voice from Gao Huaiyuan came in from outside.

Gao Huaiyuan knew as soon as he heard it, this was Meng Hui's voice, he was also angry with Meng Heng at this time, such a big matter, his father didn't send someone to inform him, he should always see the danger in this matter! You should also send someone to send a letter to yourself, so that you can prepare early! But he didn't do it this time, it's really not interesting!

So he didn't say anything, quickly lay down on the bed, and said to Zhou Hao: "You go and tell Meng Heng that I have lost too much blood, fainted, and is being treated, let him come back tomorrow!" I'm going to take a break! ”

Zhou Hao put down the wound medicine in his hand, raised his leg and was about to walk out, but Meng Heng pushed away the villager who was blocking him at this time, and broke in with his leg, the villager ran in behind him with a nervous face, and after seeing Gao Huaiyuan and Zhou Hao, he quickly knelt down and said, "Commander Gao!" The little one stopped the adult, but the adult didn't listen to the little one at all, so he just broke in and asked the adult to forgive him......"

Gao Huaiyuan hadn't been lying down at this time, but Meng Hui broke in, he was also a little embarrassed, and waved his hand and said, "You go out!" Now that Brother Meng is in, forget it! The villager nodded quickly and retreated backwards.

He said that he pretended that the injury was not light, and struggled to sit up with Zhou Hao's support, Meng Hui looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a smile and said, "Don't pretend to be with me!" You're as strong as an ox, what's this little injury? ”

Gao Huaiyuan didn't pretend to be in front of him, so he waved his hand to let Zhou Hao go out first, and then choked Meng Hui with a wry smile and said, "It seems that I can't hide it from Brother Meng!" Then why didn't Brother Meng tell Master Meng that the villain was disrespectful to him, and asked Lord Meng to punish him? Anyway, the lives of our villagers are not as good as dogs, so why bother Brother Meng to come over? Gao is really inexhaustible! Hum! ”

Meng Hui listened to Gao Huaiyuan's words, how could he not hear his stomach complaining? Seeing him sitting on the bed, he didn't even owe his buttocks, and he gave himself such a pass like a cannon, and he didn't even give up his seat, knowing that Gao Huaiyuan was angry enough this time, so he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't have the same knowledge as Gao Huaiyuan, so he pulled a bench and sat opposite Gao Huaiyuan.

"I'm talking about Brother Gao! You've got a lot of temper! I know you're angry and think your father is doing too much! Originally, my father was going to come over in person, but after this battle, there were too many things that followed, so I stopped my father and ran over! Would you like to hear my explanation? Meng Heng said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Don't dare! Master Meng is well commanded, where can I explain to us people who are not as good as dogs! Brother Meng said this, but he really looked down on it! Gao Huaiyuan still snorted angrily, not leaving any face for Meng Heng, after all, his body is only fourteen years old, although he is tall and big, but he will still be affected by a little child's temper from time to time, which makes him a little petty.

"Huh! You really don't want to be ignored! I have been calling you brothers and sisters for so long, but I don't even save any face for my foolish brother! You're ruthless! Even if my father and I are at fault, you should always listen to the foolish brother's defense and convict us! Meng Hui shook his head with a wry smile and said.

After Gao Huaiyuan finished speaking, he also felt that he was a little too much, so he suppressed some anger a little and said, "Since this is the case, then let me listen to how Brother Meng explains!" I'm angry, even if we're just Xiangyong, we're all human beings, Master Meng is doing this, isn't it so that we Xiangyong don't treat us Xiangyong as people? If we hadn't resisted the Jin Army this time, wouldn't Lord Meng steal chickens and rice this time? As he spoke, Gao Huaiyuan became angry again!

"I said Brother Gao, it seems that your temper is going to change in the future, if you are mixed in the officialdom, with your temper, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will be stumbled and your head will move! Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you, so listen to me!

This time the plan was indeed formulated by my father and I together, some time ago we clashed with the Jin army besieging Zaoyang many times, and the Jin army was so strong that we fought several times, but we could not relieve the siege of Zaoyang!

And we retreated as an advance, trying to lead the Jin army to divide the troops to attack us, but the Jin army is really cunning, but not fooled, the two armies duel our strength is weaker than the Jin army, I am afraid that once we miss, not only can not solve the siege of Zaoyang, but also make the door of Xiangyang wide open!

And at this time, we thought of your baggage army, the Jin soldiers attacked Zaoyang, it has taken a long time, they are relatively short of materials, and you are very attractive to them, so we decided on this plan! Revealed the news to Jin Jun!

The Jin army was really deceived, two days ago sent troops and horses to attack our camp in Xiaoyizhuang, my father made a state of fear of war, led the troops to withdraw, and when he left, he sent a messenger to inform you on the way to you, so that your baggage army settled in Qifang Town, and led the Jin army to attack Qifang Town......"

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he muttered, "I haven't seen any messengers!" ”

Meng Hui continued: "Brother Gao, don't be impatient, and it's not too late to listen to Brother Foolish's words!" The key to the whole plan is that in this place, our plan is to use you as bait to lure the Jin army to attack Qifang Town, and then my father will gather the troops of General Hu and General Chen, ambush the surrounding area, and eat this Jin army in one bite!

But it didn't come to pass, and the messenger sent out somehow did not find you as instructed, and I can vouch for this, and indeed sent an envoy to inform you! We think, although this move is dangerous, but with your ability, leading so many township soldiers, you should be able to block the attack of the Jin soldiers in Qifang Town!

So after we made arrangements, we temporarily retreated to the area of Da Yaozhuang in the south and became invisible! But the fork is here, in Da Yaozhuang we happened to meet a Jin army of the Jin army looting grain, there was a fierce battle, delayed for some time, and General Hu was in the north, before receiving the news from us, he also led the troops to attack the Jin army's grain road, received the news a day late, which made things worse!

In a few clicks, it didn't go according to the initial expectation, and there were a lot of mistakes, and some of them almost caused you to run headlong into the Jin Army, which is indeed our omission!

When we rushed to Xiaoyizhuang again, we met a few ordinary people, only to know that you have arrived at Xiaoyizhuang, fortunately, you are still alert, and led the army to retreat to Qifang Town immediately, and at this time, the Jin army has found out where you are going and began to besiege Qifang Town! ……”
