And Gao Huaiyuan hugged Zhong Jianjun on the horse and said: "Thank you Lord Zhong for helping to inspire the army, once the thief wins this time, then Lord Zhong will also make a big contribution!" The corpses of the common people here will be buried by Lord Lao Zhong, please watch the enemy formation for us and other generals, and see how we can defeat the enemy army! Xia Guan is one step ahead! ”

This adult surnamed Zhong was full of joy after hearing this, but this time he also did something useful to rebel, in his opinion, this General Gao is still very easy to meet! At least because he was a civil official, he underestimated him, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Please General Gao just do it, and I will leave it to the subordinate officials to deal with it here!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan flicked the horse's head, and gently knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and the yellow horse immediately neighed, and its four hooves flew up a cloud of dust, and chased the army with the pro-soldier guards behind him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And this Lord Zhong looked down at the corpses of these ordinary people on the ground, and suddenly quickly covered his nose, waved his hand and commanded the people who followed him: "Hurry up!" Bury the bodies! I can't stand the smell of blood! ……”

Tang Zhen led his forward battalion to stand at the entrance of the village to welcome Gao Huaiyuan's arrival, when Gao Huaiyuan galloped to his approach, he immediately led his men to bow down and said: "Tang Zhen greeted the general, the forward battalion fortunately did not disgrace his life, and took Ruijia Village on time, killing a total of 158 enemies, 3 people were captured, the enemy fled less than 30 people, and our army suffered a total of 32 casualties, please show the general!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Tang Zhen: "Good job!" Today, I will remember that you will wait for a first merit, and you will be rewarded again after returning to the teacher! Quickly arrange for the military medical officer to treat the wounded, properly place the remains of the fallen brothers, and go into battle with the officer in the afternoon to make new contributions!

However, I do not dare to agree with the results of this battle, you and others defeated the enemy with superior forces, killed 150 enemies, but lost more than 30 people, obviously the loss is a bit too great, you must sum up the experience in this battle, and seek better, every brother's life is not easy to come by, you must be more compassionate! ”

Gao Huaiyuan's requirements are indeed very high, the exchange rate of the cost of the forward battalion in this battle has reached five to one, Gao Huaiyuan is especially dissatisfied, but after saying this, listening to the ears of those soldiers, it is so pleasant to hear, the idea of being a soldier is actually very simple, and it is content to follow a general who values their lives, so after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, these soldiers almost cried, fell to their knees in unison, and shouted loudly: "Thank you for the general's compassion!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan dismounted and raised his hands to order these soldiers to get up: "Everyone, please get up, Gao has always regarded the soldiers in the army as brothers, and your life and death are also concerned about Gao's heart.

Now you can go down and take a rest, bury the pot and eat your fill, and then go into battle to kill the enemy! Tang Zhensu handed over the prisoners of war to the Chinese commander for strict interrogation! ”

Tang Zhen immediately clenched his fists and received the order, and turned around and left with the men of the forward battalion, and after the army drove to Ruijia Village, it temporarily stopped advancing, camped on the spot and began to bury pots and cook, after Hua Yue took over the three captured prisoners of war, he immediately found a room and began to interrogate them.

These three people are also tough, and they refused to confess their secrets in the army at first, but at this time, where will they be polite! So Hua Yue immediately let people be tortured, and the screams of these three people killing pigs immediately sounded in the village, and after a while, under torture, these three people confessed according to the truth.

After Hua Yue obtained their confessions, he immediately found Gao Huaiyuan and reported: "The news of the hard detective is true, this army of soldiers and horses is really Li Quan's subordinates, they are all Li Quan's elite in Chuzhou, and the main general is Liu Bao, a general under Li Quan, they came over this time There are more than 6,000 people, and there are about 5,000 people stationed in Hongjie Mountain at present, and the rest are in Huzhou to assist in the defense, Liu Bao personally led the troops and horses, Chen was stationed in the mountain pass, and planned to block our army from attacking Huzhou in the mountain pass!" ……”

Then Hua Yue told Gao Huaiyuan all the information about the arrangement of the enemy army confessed by the three prisoners of war, and after having this detailed information, the next battle was much better, Gao Huaiyuan immediately summoned the generals and lieutenant generals, held a meeting in Ruijia Village, and used stones and other objects to set up a sand table simulating Hongjie Mountain, and marked the deployment of the rebels on the sand table.

After seeing the arrangement of the rebels, the generals put forward their own ideas, Gao Huaiyuan shook his head after hearing it, and finally instructed Hua Yue: "It's better for Commander Hua to talk about how to fight this battle!" ”

Hua Yue already had a mature belly at this time, so he immediately stood up and pointed to the sand table and said: "Although the enemy's strength is not as good as our army, but it has the geographical advantage, if we attack strongly, we will definitely pay a great price here, originally this time, our army will not have more troops than the enemy, if you blindly do it here, it will definitely make our army's spirit a big loss, which is not conducive to the next battle of Huzhou!"

Therefore, the lower official thought that this attack on the Hongjie Mountain Pass should not take a hard attack, and the two battalions of the Left Tiger Wing and the Crossbow Xiongwu could launch a feint attack in the front to divert the attention of the enemy, and the Holy Protector Army attacked from both flanks, no matter which way as long as it broke through, it could occupy the geographical advantage, and the rebels in the mountain pass would naturally be chaotic. ”

The generals listened to Hua Yue's plan, looked at the sand table and nodded in agreement, this way of fighting can undoubtedly minimize losses, and as long as they cooperate with each other, it is difficult for the rebels to be undefeated.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and secretly admired Hua Yue's military talent, such a general was idle before, it was really a loss for the Southern Song Dynasty, if Hua Yue was given a chance to show, this person would definitely become a generation of famous generals, so he nodded and said: "Commander Hua's plan is very proper, this battle will be fought according to Commander Hua's arrangement!" But I also have an opinion, this battle is not a complete victory alone, once the rebels are defeated by us, they will flee back to Huzhou City, so that the strength of the rebels in Huzhou City will be enhanced, so I think it is better to send a team of soldiers and horses, lightly armed, bypass the mountain pass, cross the Hongjie Mountain in advance from here, set up an ambush at the other end, block the enemy's retreat, as long as they are blocked for an hour, when the main force of our army pursues here, the enemy army can be wiped out, so that it can be regarded as a complete achievement! ”

When the generals heard this, they also felt reasonable, and nodded their heads again and again to express their admiration, but Hua Yue put forward an opinion: "General Gao's idea is agreeable, but although the mountains here are not high, but the dense forests are all over the place, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, how can it be easy to send troops to cross here and reach the other end of the mountain pass without the rebels checking?" ”

Although Gao Huaiyuan admired Hua Yue's military talent, after all, Hua Yue had not really fought a decent battle at the moment, and his thinking was still a little limited, so he was not to blame.

So he pointed to the sand table and said: "Commander Hua's proposal is reasonable, but the soldiers are treacherous, and they can win by tricks!" This is the first time we have fought the rebels on a large scale, and the victory or defeat of the first battle is particularly crucial, and fighting according to common sense alone is not enough to eat the entire rebel army.

Although the mountains here are not high, but the mountains and forests are dense, but Li Quanjun is not familiar with the terrain of this place, although he holds the mountain pass, but he does not have the strength to control the entire Hongjie Mountain, here our hard detectives are locals, there is a mountain road from the east of the mountain pass, although it is not wide, but it can also pass through the Hongjie Mountain, to the other end of the mountain pass, and the distance is much shorter!

And we don't have to send a lot of soldiers and horses this time, one battalion is enough, once the enemy army is defeated, and suddenly ambushed here, there will be chaos, not to mention that our strange army does not have to eat the entire rout of the rebels alone, as long as they support for a period of time, wait until we wait for the army to catch up, it will be enough to solve the problem!

If I wait here to kill the entire rebel army, it will have a huge boost to the morale of our army, but for the rebels, it will cause them to panic and cowardice, then the next battle of Huzhou will be much easier to fight! ”

After Hua Yue listened, he looked at Gao Huaiyuan, and he was deeply impressed in his heart, although Gao Huaiyuan was a little deficient in theory compared with him, but the actual combat experience was much richer than him, and Gao Huaiyuan attached great importance to the collection of intelligence, and had already sent a large number of hard spies to investigate the news on the way, it seems that Gao Huaiyuan proposed this plan, and he was already confident.

So Hua Yue hugged his fists and said: "Xiaguan has been taught!" The tall man is really a battle-hardened person, and the lower officials can't be compared! Then please give the order! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was a little complacent, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then it will be arranged according to our plan!" Zhao Futang listens to the order! ”

Zhao Futang immediately stood up and said, "The end will be!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan gave him an arrow and said: "You immediately select a battalion of elites in the army, after eating, then set off with the guide, only bring one day's food, with more arrows, cross the Hongjie Mountain overnight, arrive at the other end of the mountain pass before noon tomorrow, occupy the high ground and wait for the enemy, and when the enemy army is defeated and retreats to you, I will block them to the death, and I must not take half a step back, if the enemy army runs away, you will come to see you!" ”

Zhao Futang immediately received the order and retreated excitedly.

Then Gao Huaiyuan ordered the generals of the two battalions of the infantry division to take up a frontal attack tomorrow morning, suppress the formation with bows and crossbows, try to divert the attention of the enemy, advance steadily, and reduce casualties!

The Holy Protector Army served as the two flanks to break through, Hua Yue and he each led a group of soldiers and horses, and attacked from both flanks tomorrow morning, responsible for breaking through the defenses of the rebels in the mountain pass, and then the three troops and horses combined to defeat the rebels and drive them into the mountains.

In the afternoon, the whole army went to the mountain pass to confront the rebels, and first made contact, only defeat but not victory, so as to paralyze the enemy army.
