Chapter 101: Before the Great War

A fast horse galloped back and forth on the dirt road, constantly raising a slip of dust, sending all kinds of information into the camp of the two armies, from time to time there will be scouts of the two armies to meet in a narrow way, start a skirmish, and the winning side is mostly on the side of the official army, although the scouts in the rebel army are also strong in martial arts, but after all, they cooperate no more than the officers and soldiers, often more people can not beat the officers and soldiers, and gradually the scouts of the officers and soldiers will drive the scouts of the rebels out of the five-mile radius of Baishui Village, It made it impossible to get close to Baishui Village to find out the news of the official army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After hearing the news that the official army was stationed in Baishui Village, Chen Sangun showed a smug smile on his face again, in his opinion, everything has been going smoothly so far, the Song army is like a fool and just a few people and horses rushed straight towards him, think about the pocket array he laid out, as long as the Song army continues to walk forward for a few miles tomorrow, he can attack from three sides, it is difficult for this Song army not to die!

So he immediately raised the tent, gathered all the big and small leaders under his command, stood in his big tent and began to arrange the decisive battle of the Song army tomorrow, don't look at him as a local hero, he really has some talent in the military, after an arrangement, it is also the same, the leaders in the tent are all gearing up, just waiting for the Song army to send them to the door and let them cut it at will.

And when Chen Sangun dispatched troops, in the Song army camp in Baishui Village, Gao Huaiyuan was also doing the same thing, the atmosphere in the big tent was solemn, Gao Huaiyuan issued the arrows one by one, and almost everyone in the tent received their own tasks.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight let the officers and men of the three armies have a good night's rest, tomorrow morning we will fight to the death with the rebels, although there are many people on the other side of this battle, but there is no need to be afraid, I think we have never been afraid of even the army of the Mongol Tartars, and it is natural to deal with such a small night! Do you know what you're going to do tomorrow now? Gao Huaiyuan stood in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and asked his subordinates confidently.

Got it! There was a roaring sound of response in the tent.

Good! Tomorrow night, the official will personally toast you all! Let's disperse! Gao Huaiyuan smiled, waved his big hand, and the generals immediately said goodbye and left the tent.

The whole night passed so quietly, and both armies knew that the other was in front of them, but neither took any action, and the night passed peacefully.

But there were some people in the Song army camp who didn't sleep well, at least Xie Quan was one of them.

Xie Quan was one of Gao Huaiyuan's subordinates brought into Beijing when he launched an army in Lin'an, and it was he who brought three bronze cannons to kill Shi Miyuan's nephew Shi Song, and then used artillery to open the door of Shi Miyuan's mansion, and finally conquered Shi Miyuan's mansion.

Over the years, Xie Quan has been hidden in obscurity in the front of the palace, in order to protect the secret of artillery, he was ordered to be transferred to the Qingyuan Mansion in front of the palace to select the front army, stationed in a very remote mountain, silently doing things, if Gao Huaiyuan did not mention his name this time, I am afraid that many people have not remembered his existence, although he was a great meritorious service in the military advice back then, but he was not greatly promoted, and he is still only a small team general, but he has always come, Stayed in a small military camp in Qingyuan Mansion without complaint, doing his business.

It wasn't until this afternoon that Gao Huaiyuan ordered him to participate in the deliberations in the tent, and the big guy remembered him again, Gao Huaiyuan's instructions to him were very simple, that is, let him lead the left flank of the Chen army tomorrow, and once a large number of rebels attacked the left flank of the Song army, let him withstand the attack of the other party.

For this order, many people expressed their incomprehension, because Xie Quan was just a small team leader, and there were only a few hundred soldiers under him, but he had to undertake such a heavy task, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan was underestimating the strength of the rebels, but some people who knew what Xie Quan was doing didn't think so, at least Xie Quan felt that this was not a problem at all.

For a few years, he has been hidden in the snow in the hills of Qingyuan Mansion, until today, he can finally be with these soldiers under his command on the battlefield, although he is not afraid of battle, but it does not mean that he Xie Quan will not be excited, overnight, he and the hundreds of officers and soldiers under his command around their beloved copper cannon busy.

A brand new copper cannon was repeatedly wiped by them with deerskin, until the body of these copper cannons was as bright as a mirror, without a trace of rust, and wiped until the inside of the cannon chamber was as smooth as a mirror, and they checked the medicine bags they brought with them one by one, and even the round projectiles were wiped again, and then they lay down to rest.

When the sun came to this land again, the Song army had already had a war meal, and the teams left the barracks under the leadership of the generals and rushed to the battlefield.

Every soldier who left the barracks saw their commander wearing the same helmet and armor as them at the gate, standing outside the gate like a javelin, watching them step on the battlefield, and every soldier solemnly gave a standard military salute to the hero in their minds, and after getting a standard salute from their boss, they drove towards the battlefield with high morale.

It wasn't until Gao Huaiyuan saw Xie Quan leading hundreds of artillery under his command and driving dozens of vehicles pulled by pack horses past Gao Huaiyuan, Xie Quan rode on horseback and vigorously tapped his right fist on the heart guard on his chest.

Gao Huaiyuan also responded to Xie Quan with the same gesture, and then nodded slightly to Xie Quan.

It wasn't until Xie Quan's team walked away that Gao Huaiyuan said to Erhu: Let's get on the horse and go!

So the two tigers immediately led the war horses over, and Gao Huaiyuan flew on the horses, and joined the marching army under the escort of the five hundred newly formed iron guards.

When he saw the officers and soldiers who were looking neat and tidy in front of the army that came from afar, Chen Sangun's face changed slightly, the performance of the Song army this time was very different from the Song army he had encountered before, this Song army was marching, the team was very tight, except for the rangers who ran back and forth between the teams, the march of the army was not chaotic at all, and the phalanx was like an iron wall pushed forward flatly, making people feel a sense of powerlessness.

Even at such a distance, Chen Sangun felt a sense of coercion coming to his face, which made him suddenly feel not very good, but he quickly shook his head and forced this feeling of uneasiness down.

Hum! The officers and soldiers are still sent to death in the end! But it seems that this official army is not bad, in the end it is led by a famous general of the imperial court! Come, beat the drum and give the order, and the armies start moving! Chen Sangun looked around at the endless soldiers and horses on his side, his confidence was restored again, and he said loudly to his subordinates.
