Chapter 237: A Song of Song
At the beginning of February, the Zhenjiang Fu wharf was unfurled, the drums were sounding in unison, a huge ferry boat was lined up on the wharf, a team of energetic soldiers and horses were lined up on the wharf, until the generals headed by Gao Huaiyuan killed the livestock and sacrificed the flag by the river, the shore remembered the three horn cannons like rolling thunder, and the support of each team gave an order, and a team of Song soldiers and soldiers immediately made a loud sound of a leaf of armor, and walked towards the springboard.

Such a military appearance so that the officials and people who came to see off and see the excitement are all amazed, they can see the Song army in Zhenjiang Mansion every day, many of them still remember the Kaixi Northern Expedition, the Song army here to board the ship to the north, but today when they see the Song army on the dock, they all feel admired.
Because the military appearance of the Song army they see today is definitely the most prosperous military appearance of the Song army they have ever seen, not only the sophistication of their equipment, but also the morale and strict military discipline in the army, which they have never seen before, except when Bi Zai met General Bi when he was alive, they have also seen such an army, for so many years, there are not a few soldiers and horses coming and going on both sides of the river, but there is absolutely no one who can compare with the current soldiers and horses.
Luo Zhuo also stood on the dock to see off the first to cross the river to the Holy Guard, followed by the Zhongshun Army, the day before yesterday after the Zhongshun Army arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion, in the three days of waiting for the logistics needs, Gao Huaiyuan organized a whole army inspection outside the city, tens of thousands of troops competed on the same field, each showed their skills, and showed their skills to the generals in the army who watched the battle.
Luo Zhuo has always thought that his soldiers and horses are the best in the Song army, but when he saw the performance of the troops in front of the palace, especially the performance of the Saint Protector Army, he was immediately ashamed, and compared with the Saint Protector Army, the Zhenjiang Mansion Army under his command has really become a miscellaneous soldier, whether it is from the overall formation conversion or momentum, and even the configuration of the armor, he is a big difference from others, at this time he knew that Gao Huaiyuan was really not blowing, and the generals under his command were not general, Each has a unique skill of training soldiers with one hand, even the battalions of soldiers and horses of the infantry division who came with the front division of the palace are not ambiguous, although the training level is not as good as that of the army of the front division of the palace, but it is also a fairly elite battalion of soldiers, compared to his Zhenjiang Mansion army, which makes Luo Zhuo very speechless.
Since the army in front of the palace and his Zhenjiang Mansion can't be compared, and there is a master of Gao Huaiyuan, then he can only hope for the Zaoyang Zhongshun Army, this Zhongshun Army He knows that it is a private equity new army, and it should not be too elite, but when the Zhongshun Army appeared in battle, Luo Zhuo almost fell off the stage.
The whole army of the Zhongshun Army is black-clothed and black-armored, as soon as the queue comes out, there is a murderous atmosphere, every Zhongshun officer and soldier, each is expressionless, there is a kind of Taishan collapsed in front of the same posture, the impact is even more murderous, there is a kind of courage that is not appropriate, which makes Luo Zhuo surprised (if there is), especially the Zhongshun Army's troops, galloping on the field, the knights are flying under the horses, light as apes, they are under the command of the handsome banner, as flexible as the arms and fingers, sometimes collectively charged, sometimes flanked, Sometimes the arrows are chiseled, and sometimes the collective riding and shooting are far away, showing the riding skills to the fullest, this kind of ability is compared with the guerrilla army of Zhenjiang Mansion, and the general of the guerrilla army of Zhenjiang Mansion almost didn't find a piece of tofu on the spot and knocked it down, this person is simply a big loss!
After a day's exercise, Luo Zhuo was hit by the blow, and he no longer dared to hold up in front of Gao Huaiyuan and other generals, and he spoke a lot more cautiously, and even seemed very respectful to Huang Yan. But at present, these troops and horses gathered in Zhenjiang Mansion are all elite divisions of the Song army, and there is still a certain martial plot in the army, so Luo Zhuo was completely convinced, and obediently obeyed Gao Huaiyuan's dispatch and orders.
After Gao Huaiyuan finished the martial arts, he was in a good mood, whether it was the army in front of the palace or Huang Yan's loyal army, they all gave him a big face, and the elite of the loyal army even exceeded Gao Huaiyuan's expectations, there was such a strange army, which was enough for Li Quan to drink a pot.
At night, Gao Huaiyuan did not let the generals rest, and ordered someone to make a large sand table in the big tent overnight, showing the terrain of Huaidong on the sand table.
Then Gao Huaiyuan took a long baton, pointed to the sand table and began to arrange the plan of sending troops, the Zhongshun army has the strongest mobility among the armies, so according to Gao Huaiyuan's plan, they were ordered to go to the west side of Gaoyou Lake, take a detour to Hongze, break through the flank of Li Quan's army, and attack Chuzhou, and the palace front division is the main force, starting from Taizhou head-on, directly attacking the frontal defense line of Li Quan's army, after breaking through, and Huang Yan's Zhongshun army in Chuzhou City, and Zhenjiang Prefecture Zhujun is responsible for the palace, as a reserve and rear army, It is directly responsible for providing support to the front armies and the transportation of various materials, clearing the defeated remnants of the enemy, and setting up prisoner of war camps to collect prisoners of war.
This time the troops are to deal with our Great Song Dynasty remnants, you must remember, just defeat them, as much as possible to collect the enemy army and not wantonly kill, let alone slaughter the surrendered troops, these northern troops will be our Great Song Dynasty people in the future, after the war, Jingdong still needs to maintain stability and not be good at killing, please remember! Kill as little as possible, otherwise the official will never agree! Inform the whole army that our army will only kill the thief leader in this battle, and as long as the crowd lays down their weapons and surrenders, they can be rewarded, and those who turn against the water can get a heavy reward! After Gao Huaiyuan finished arranging, he sharply commanded the generals in the account.
After the generals listened, they all intervened to receive the order, no one dared to have an opinion, after Luo Zhuo was hit harder, he lost his arrogance at this time, and honestly accepted the order given to him, and looked at Gao Huaiyuan's arrangement, he really couldn't find fault with it, no matter what the matter was, Gao Huaiyuan had planned in advance, it can be said that this attack plan was leaky, so that Luo Zhuo had nothing to find fault with, and could only secretly admire Gao Huaiyuan's military talent.
This time they sent troops to cross the river, called a lot of ferries, loaded a group of soldiers and horses in batches, and transferred them to the other side of the river, the loyal shun army went directly to Yangzhou to land, from Yangzhou to attack Hongze County, while Gao Huaiyuan's main force crossed the river, went straight to Taizhou, from Taizhou, to Chuzhou.
More than 50,000 soldiers and horses crossed the river together, it was a very grand scene, the scene of the banner waving and the thousand sails racing on the river suddenly formed, and the people on the shore saw off the drums and music in unison, which seemed to be very imposing.
Gao Huaiyuan was the first to cross the river by the Flying Tiger Warship, the entourage was divided into both sides of the ship, each was full of energy, the armor was bright, the Flying Tiger Warship was riding the wind and waves, the huge wing wheels on both sides rotated and stirred up countless waves, pushing the big ship to break the waves and move forward, Gao Huaiyuan was dressed in a military uniform, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the waves on the river, his heart was surging and undulating, he secretly said in his heart: Li Quan, I am here! History will change because of me, and my ideals will begin to be realized gradually as the army moves north! Central Plains! You belong to our Han nation, and it's time to return to the arms of our Han people!
Looking at the surging river, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but think of the song he hadn't sung for a long time, so he couldn't help but stand on the bow of the boat and sing: The wolf smoke rises and the mountains look north, the dragon curls the horse, the sword breath is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can fight in 20 years! Hatred is mad and long, how many siblings are loyal to their souls and buried in other places, what a pity to die to repay their family and country, endure sighs and regrets, and are speechless with blood and tears! The horseshoe goes south to the north to look at the north, the people look north to see the grass green and yellow dust flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and the dignified China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate
This song sung by Tu Honggang in later generations is Gao Huaiyuan's favorite song, and now when he sings this song again, his mood is a new mood compared to when he was in Xiangyang with the army, and when the song sounded in his mouth, it seemed so impassioned and heroic.
Suddenly heard Gao Huaiyuan singing, the people on the boat all looked sideways, and they all turned their eyes to Gao Huaiyuan, who was singing at the bow of the boat, especially when they heard the lyrics of Gao Huaiyuan's singing, and suddenly all of them were surging in their hearts, this song really sang the hearts of many people, many people heard who this song was referring to from the lyrics, and suddenly someone wanted to cry, this song really made them unable to calm down.
Gao Huaiyuan kept singing this song "Loyal to the Country", Li Ruohu and several of Gao Huaiyuan's personal guards who were familiar with this song, when Gao Huaiyuan sang it again, they also sang together, and then more people began to learn from them, singing together, this song is not up and down, but it is very exciting, and it is catchy to learn, and soon the soldiers and even ordinary sailors on the whole ship have also learned the tune, the voices of hundreds of people are together, and the sound is spread far and far on the river, Even the soldiers on some nearby ships heard the song.
The song began to be heard on the river, and many people in the army were young soldiers from Crouching Tiger Village, and they all sang this song, and the lyrics were even more familiar with the melon, and when they heard someone singing this song, they couldn't help but sing together, and for a time the whole river was full of songs of loyalty to the country.
Even Qiu Tong, who has always been relatively low-key, stood on the deck of the ship at this time, looking at Gao Huaiyuan who was standing on the bow of the ship and struggling to sing, her heart couldn't help but be strongly shaken again, she didn't know who made this song, but she could feel his mind in Gao Huaiyuan's singing, there are countless men in the world, but there are really not many men who can be so heroic, looking at Gao Huaiyuan's majestic back, Qiu Tong unconsciously, her eyes began to moisten a little, and she couldn't help but hum along with her, However, because the surrounding sound was too loud, no one noticed for a while that a female voice suddenly came from the ship.
