Chapter 105: The Remnants of the Resentful Army

When the Dengzhou Navy Division went north to Liaodong, Hua Rong, as the master of an army, needed to be cautious, and when he traded grain and horses with various tribes in Liaodong, he also inquired about the news of Liaodong, and only then did he know the cause of the chaos in Liaodong.

It turned out that in the first month of this year, Ye Luchun, the marshal of Liaoguo, arranged and trained the poor people in Liaodong to think that they were "resentful of the army", and they complained about the Jurchen, and the soldiers came to Shenzhou. Hearing that Shenzhou was in danger, the gold lord Wanyan Agu sent Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Lou Room to lead an army of 20,000 to help, but defeated Yeluchun under the city of Shenzhou, and then took advantage of the situation to advance, defeated the main force of the resentful army, and ransacked Xian, Qian, Yi and other states before withdrawing the army.

These states were already tired of supporting Yeluchun's army and the resentful army, but now they have been plundered by the Jin army, which is even more unbearable, and there are scattered resentful armies scattered everywhere, which led to this great chaos that swept more than a dozen states.

With this understanding, Hua Rong immediately strengthened the guards of the Linhai camp, and all the soldiers who could ride in the army were scouts, and there were even warriors from the eastern part of Liao, luring them with food, and scattered for fifty or sixty miles.

On this day, Hua Rong, Ma Xian, and Luan Tingyu were sitting in the village, and suddenly received news that a scattered cavalry army of more than 2,000 people was rushing here, and more than a dozen scouts and tribal warriors sent along the way had been killed by the enemy, which was obviously ill-intentioned.

This kind of horse team, which has neither women and children, nor cattle and sheep to drive, is obviously not an ordinary eastern Liaodong tribe, and it is impossible to say which resentful army was defeated by the Jin. In Liaodong, where there is no ruling order, these remnants of the resentful army without the constraints of military discipline are the most ferocious jackals, but all the tribes they meet are all looted, and the slightest disobedience is the end of slaughter.

Seeing that this cavalry army was coming straight towards his own place, he naturally fell in love with the food here, and there were two roads in front of Hua Rong's eyes, one was that the soldiers would come to block it, relying on the camp to compete with this cavalry, and the other was to abandon this place, and all the sailors retreated to the sea. The former had to take some risks, and the latter could be kept safe, but the previous efforts had been exhausted, and it was necessary to find another shore to rest, and it was unknown whether the tribal population could be found to continue the present trade.

"Hold the gate of the fortress and prepare for battle!"

Thinking of Ximen Qing's excitement before going to sea, Hua Rong was originally from Jiangmen, so he naturally understood the status of this maritime trade route of exchanging grain for horses in the eyes of his benefactor. Besides, Liaodong is a chaotic place that worships the law of the jungle, and if you don't show your own strength, you can't say how long this business can last.

I'd rather be afraid than be bullied!

For the nomads of the north, a big fist is the right thing.

Fortunately, Hua Rong, who has reined in his own unruly temperament over the past few days, has become much calmer, and has gradually shown the edge of the people behind him. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the sailor division's cavalry and sentinel exploration, nearly 300 warriors from eastern Liaodong were gathered before, and they were equipped with the excellent armor of the Song army, which were handed over to Luan Tingyu and Ma Xian respectively, but it was a strong army.

The horse army came from the northeast, and in the northwest corner of the camp, only five or six hundred paces away, there was a small hill, on which the trees were thick, but it was an excellent place to hide the army. Before Hua Rong set up a camp here, he already had a plan, and immediately ordered Luan Tingyu and Ma Xun to lead three hundred cavalry to the hill to hide, and when the beacon fire in the camp started, they would come out with their heads.

Just when the two generals of Luan Ma led the cavalry out of the camp, the thousands of sailors in the camp were also lined up, these people were not the ruffians of the previous Xiang army, they were all newly recruited young men from the homeless people, and they were very grateful to meet Hua Rong, a general who did not deduct food and salary, and could even settle a livelihood for his family. Although he has never been in battle, he usually practices quite hard, and he has a heart of retribution.

When Hua Rong came from Qingzhou, he was not alone, but brought more than ten cronies from Qingfeng Village, and Song Jiang of Xinzhizhai was his sworn brother, so he would not be in trouble.

These more than ten cronies are brave people, in Qingzhou with bandits and bandits, are all good men who have seen blood, after Hua Rong served as the Dengzhou Navy Regiment Training, these more than ten people are all in the army, ten generals and even the head. It is precisely with the support of such backbones that Hua Rong dares to fight with the Liaodong rebels and bandits.

The camp of the sailor division is located in a narrow strip of land, facing the water on three sides, only the front of the camp gate is about 100 zhang wide, and there are three huge ships on the sea to protect it, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even if it is more than 100 zhang in front of the camp gate, only a zigzag path about two zhang wide leads to the camp gate, and the rest of the place is full of small pits the size of a bowl mouth, an inch deep, and densely packed. This kind of arrangement was specially instructed by Ximenqing before the sailor went north, and made the blacksmith shop in Dengzhou City make a kind of wood-handled cylinder shovel, as long as it is shoveled on the ground, it is a small pit, and the efficiency is extremely high.

Hua Rong had never heard of this kind of small and dense trap pit, but he came to Liaodong and tried it out of the local tribes, and the effect was unexpectedly good. For this reason, after Hua Rong set up camp, the soldiers dug a protective zone nearly 100 steps wide, leaving only an extremely tortuous path.

With such a careful arrangement, Hua Rong and more than 1,000 sailors and soldiers waited in the camp, waiting for the cavalry to attack. As for the rest of the thousands, they withdrew to three thousand-material warships and used various giant crossbows and strong bows as a countermeasure.

When Zhao Heshou led the remnants of nearly 2,000 resentful troops under his command to arrive, in the face of such a strict battle, there was no worry on his face, but a trace of contempt.

Speaking of which, this Zhao Heshou is also a brave general, originally a Liaodong Haner, but his martial arts are exquisite, and he is also a figure in the resentment army, and he is the commander of the Houjin battalion in the eighth battalion of the resentment army. At that time, when he was defeated against the Jin army, he escaped with his life, and collected the remnants of the army along the way, and also won more than 2,000 people.

With more than 2,000 people, although they can dominate in this troubled era in Liaodong, it is also 2,000 mouths, and they can't say that they want to eat. If Zhao Heshou can't feed these fighting men, I'm afraid that he will be the first to die.

These days, taking advantage of the chaos in Liaodong, Zhao Heshou led the remnants of two thousand resentful armies to loot everywhere, and four small tribes have been broken by it before and after, and no less than 1,000 people have died, as for the women in the tribe, I don't know how much disaster has been caused.

The day before yesterday, I got news that there was a Song merchant who exchanged grain for horses, and Zhao Heshou led the army to this place, and when he arrived at the ground, he found that this was a businessman, and it was a standard army at all.

When did those cowardly southerners like sheep dare to run to Liaodong to spread wild?

Although they are both Han people, the Liao State has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the Guozuo is longer than the Great Song Dynasty in the south.

"It's just a group of southerners, it's just me and other Liaodi athletes who eat in their mouths, sons, kill!"

Zhao Heshou was originally a fierce general, and he looked down on the Song people in his heart, seeing that there were only some small mud pits in front of the camp, where would he hesitate, and immediately waved the knife in his hand, about 500 cavalry soldiers came out and killed in the direction of the main gate of the camp.
