In the valley, the news of Liu Bao's death immediately spread, so that the rebels were all mourned, and their morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and no one organized to rush to the outside of the mountain pass, and the panicked rebels completely lost their fighting spirit at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, there was a shout of killing in the valley, and a Song army rushed up like a black torrent, blocking these remnants of the rebels in the mountain pass.

The Song army, who caught up, shouted: "The general has an order not to kill those who surrender!" While slashing and slashing at the rebels who refused to lay down their arms, the rebels who had lost their main commander soon saw that the general situation was gone, most of them chose to abandon their weapons and surrender, and only a few were unwilling to be prisoners and fled over the mountains into the forest.

Gao Huaiyuan also caught up with the army in front, and then escorted nearly 3,000 captives out of the Hongjie Mountain Pass and set up a large camp on the flat ground.

In this battle, the rebels stationed in Hongjie Mountain can be said to be annihilated, only a few of them burrowed into the mountains and did not know where to go, and even their main general Liu Bao was killed on the spot, which can be described as an extremely beautiful battle of annihilation.

And in this battle, the heaviest loss is probably the broken camp, 500 soldiers in the army arrived, only less than 200 people remained, including the battalion commander envoy, more than 300 soldiers, all fell on the position of the mountain pass, and these 200 people from Zhao Futang down, it can be said that everyone was wounded, but they completed the interception of the rebels, becoming the largest soldier in this battle.

When Gao Huaiyuan came out of the mountain pass, he saw the corpses of the rebels all over the mountain pass, where the rebels paid the price of at least nearly a thousand people, but failed to advance half an inch, which shows how tragic the camp fought in this battle.

So he personally took the generals in the army to the camp medical officer, one by one to comfort the wounded soldiers in this battle, when he walked in front of Jiang Hai, Zhao Futang, who had a bandage on his shoulder, said to Gao Huaiyuan: "This battle is Jiang Yong's team saved the life of the next official, and Jiang Yong's team slashed the enemy's main general Liu Bao, which can be said to be indispensable!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Jiang Hai, who was wrapped like a mummy, and knew that this person was also from his Crouching Tiger Village, so he gently patted him on the shoulder and said: "The credit of Jiang Yong's team will not be erased, from today onwards, this official will promote you to the commander of the Broken Battalion, and after you go back, the soldiers of the Broken Battalion will be replenished and handed over to you to command!" All you need to do now is recuperate in peace! ”

Jiang Hai saw Gao Huaiyuan, his heart was very excited, his lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say a word of thanks, just said: "The little Jiang Hai has seen General Gao, the little one doesn't dare to take credit, if General Zhao hadn't cut off Liu Bao's arm first, the little one would have killed him!" Credits should be credited to General Zhao! If the little ones weren't led by General Zhao, they wouldn't have been able to stop the rebels! ”

At this time, everyone was moved when they heard it, and with Gao Huaiyuan, the Zhong who comforted the wounded smiled: "It's really a good man!" Fight bravely to kill the enemy, and not be proud of the merits, rare! It's rare! After the official returns, he will personally ask for credit for this hero in front of the saint! If the whole army can be like this, why should the rebels not be destroyed! Ha ha! ”

After this battle, this Lord Zhong is convinced of Gao Huaiyuan and their soldiers, he has not been on the battlefield, today all the way, he saw the scene made him very shocked, only to know that fighting is not easy, not at all as he imagined, when the general's casual command, he can win the battle, and Gao Huaiyuan has nothing to say about the ability to control the army, he still wants to point fingers when he starts to set off, but now he knows that everyone here respects Gao Huaiyuan, It's better for him to be honest and talk less.

This adult surnamed Zhong, after the end of the first battle of Hongjieshan, wrote a recital overnight, sent people to Lin'an quickly, reported to the monarchs and ministers of Lin'an, and wiped out more than 5,000 rebels at once, which will undoubtedly be a huge encouragement for the people of Jingshi, so at this time he did not dare to delay at all, so he wrote out the details of the battle and reported it to the Lin'an court.

The person who reported the news did not dare to rest for half a minute on the road, and rushed back to Lin'an City overnight, and entered the palace in the early morning to present this good news of Lord Zhong to the main hall.

After hearing the news, the monarchs and ministers in the court were immediately overjoyed, because Gao Huai was only three days away from Beijing, and he fought such a victory in Hongjie Mountain, annihilating 5,000 elite soldiers and horses of the rebels in one fell swoop, and even the enemy generals were killed.

In this way, it has played a considerable role in the stability of Lin'an City, this matter is not only Zhao Yun happy, including Shi Miyuan's party is also happy, for King Ji, they are people on a front, Gao Huaiyuan represents their interests, and achieving such a victory is great news for them, if the soldiers and horses sent by the Lin'an court are planted in the hands of the rebels in the first battle, it will be very unfavorable for the next war of words, and this victory makes them gain a very big initiative, At least in the hearts of some wavering people, it can play a great deterrent role.

After a short discussion in the court, the monarch and the others immediately reached a common opinion, according to the report of the adult surnamed Zhong, the Lin'an court once again rewarded the battle, awarded Gao Huaiyuan Hall the former deputy commander of the envoy, the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, and promoted the general of the four Zhongwu to lead the Huzhou counterinsurgency affairs.

And under his command, Hua Yue gave the Holy Army the command and the guard doctor, and Zhao Futang was promoted to the rank of Flying Cavalry Captain...... In short, as long as the people mentioned in Lord Zhong's performance express report, they will be rewarded this time, and as for the rest of the meritorious people, add another sentence that Gao Huaiyuan has the right to be rewarded before the battle.

At the same time, he also took out a large amount of silver money from the treasury to reward the meritorious soldiers this time, and also sent a group of people to escort the wine and meat to the Huzhou army.

In short, the weight of this reward can be said to have reached an eye-popping level, in order to encourage the former soldiers of the army, this time let go of their hands and feet to quickly extinguish the mutiny of King Jiwang in Huzhou, and after they made such a decision, they immediately notified the whole country of the good news, and sent messengers to send it to the local government urgently, that is, to let the local government see, King Ji is not good, if you follow him to mess around, the result will be very miserable, so as to deter local officials from following King Ji to make trouble.

However, Gao Huaiyuan's army did not consider these problems at the moment, and after a night's rest, they set off to reach the city of Huzhou the next day, and did not suffer from the rebels along the way, and the news of the defeat of Liu Bao's army at Hongjie Mountain, with the rout that escaped by chance, also flew into the small court that Huzhou had temporarily put together like wings.

After hearing this, King Ji immediately sat on the big chair in shock, and suddenly his hands and feet became cold, in fact, he knew very well how much strength he had now, to put it bluntly, the territory he could control, and now there was only this small place around Huzhou City, and the people who were loyal to him except for the Pan brothers, the rest of the people did not have much loyalty, and wanted to thank an official like Zhou Qing, the reason why he was able to fall to him this time, in addition to being coerced by his subordinates, many people had the intention of taking chances, supported him to make a farce in a yellow robe.

And what he relied on most was Li Quan's soldiers and horses, thinking that Li Quan's soldiers and horses were really to help him seize the world, and in his opinion, the only barrier from Lin'an to Huzhou was Hongjie Mountain, and only by sending Liu Bao to lead the army to guard Hongjie Mountain could he drag the soldiers and horses of the Lin'an court for a period of time and buy some time for him to gather more opposition forces in Huzhou.

But the abacus was fought well, and no battle was fought well and useful, they didn't expect that Liu Bao didn't last enough day in Hongjie Mountain, and he was defeated by the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, and even a whole army was wiped out.

Such a result made them all shocked, the rebels in Huzhou City immediately panicked, the pigs knew that after the defeat of Hongjie Mountain, Huzhou would have no support, the enemy army could arrive at Huzhou City within half a day, so King Ji immediately appointed Xiao Liang, who had just defected to him, as the defense envoy of Huzhou, and gave an order to make Xiao Liang the military commander and responsible for the defense of Huzhou City.

This is really the pioneer of Liao Hua, a general in Shuzhong! Although Xiao Liang used to be a military position, he was just a small and tasteless royal dragon straight officer, just because he had a good relationship with King Ji, and he was very loyal to King Ji, so he was promoted from a thief to be the head of Huzhou defense, and the general leader of Huzhou soldiers and horses.

This seems to be a good thing for Xiao Liang, but in fact, it puts him under a lot of pressure, commanding a battle of this scale, for him Xiao Liang, there is no experience to talk about at all, with his level, that is, being a battalion commander is very good, and he handed over more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to him at once, so that Xiao Liang was a little dizzy.

But Xiao Liang still gritted his teeth and took this position, because he had already learned that it was his enemy Gao Huaiyuan who came to Huzhou to quell the rebellion this time, and he became the defense envoy of Huzhou, so that he could fight to the death with this surnamed Gao in Huzhou, otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to get close to this enemy surnamed Gao.

So after Xiao Liang was ordered, he immediately went to the city to arrange the matter of guarding the palace, and he didn't care what his level was, he led his men to run all over the four gates, and made some arrangements for pointing fingers, and gathered the heavy troops in the direction of the south gate of Huzhou, making a posture of smashing the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Originally, the rebel composition of Huzhou City was very mixed, and there were a number of hardcore supporters in the city, but most of these people were just some temporary patchwork of lake pirates and fishermen, and the number was not much, and the equipment was even worse and pitiful, but they temporarily took out some old weapons from the Huzhou treasury and equipped them, and they couldn't do a pair of weapons and armor in their hands, most people didn't talk about armor, and they didn't even have weapons, so they could only temporarily pick up their harpoons, hoes and other things as weapons, in fact, they could only be regarded as a group of village soldiers. Even the level of equipment of the township soldiers is not up to it.
