Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Rebel Army

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Gao Huaiyuan sent people to dismantle the iron locks set up by Pan Bo on the Xinjiang River, so more than 100 fishing boats immediately sailed down the river and headed for Guixi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, Gao Huaiyuan ordered Zhou Hao to lead 2,000 infantry troops out of Geyang County and rush to the direction of the rebel camp in Tangjiazhuang overnight.

The rebels obviously did not expect the official army to move so quickly, although they also sensed that the main force of the Song army had entered the Xinzhou territory, but the rebel commander Liu Hong thought that the Song army would not arrive at the Guixi camp so quickly, so the camp was not strictly guarded.

In addition, these rebels are simply a group of rabble, stationed in the area of Tangjiazhuang in a chaotic manner, saying that it is a big camp, it is like a vegetable market, loose and without any rules, and the sentry posts are also very lax.

When the rebel camp suddenly became chaotic at dawn, Liu Hong had not yet understood what had happened.

It wasn't until someone rushed into his tent and shouted to him that the official army had entered the camp that Liu Hong hurriedly put on his belt and carried his big knife to meet him.

At this time, the Song army's soldiers and horses on land and water had already entered the camp of the rebels in Tangjiazhuang, and those unsuspecting rebels immediately bombed the camp and fled in panic.

Zhou Hao and Huang Yan have different temperaments, he has never been smiling, and everyone only knows that Zhou Hao is a general recently recruited into the army by Gao Huaiyuan, and he doesn't know him very well, so the generals who follow him don't trust him very much, and they are not very relieved.

But they didn't expect that Zhou Hao was actually a fierce general, since he led the troops to sneak outside the rebel camp, Zhou Hao calmly waited for the signal sent to them on the river.

Until he saw three rockets rising from the river, Zhou Hao immediately ordered his own soldiers to also release three rockets at the same time to respond to the friendly troops on the river, and he himself immediately turned on his horse and led the army to kill the rebel camp in the first place.

Don't look at Zhou Hao, this is the first time to lead troops into battle, but Zhou Hao didn't know how many soldiers he had trained for Gao Huaiyuan before, and his experience in leading soldiers was no worse than others, and the two lengthened versions of Crouching Tiger Village's special steel Liuyun scimitar in his hand were flying up and down, and no rebels could walk in front of his horse for a round, and he was knocked to the ground.

The panicked rebels couldn't stop Zhou Hao's Song army at all, but they resisted a little at the gate, and they were immediately killed by Zhou Hao and scattered and fled, and then Zhou Hao led the army to drive straight in, straight to the core of the rebel camp.

At this time, the soldiers of the Song army led by him found out that the Zhou general sent to them by Gao Huaiyuan was actually a rare general, so they immediately boosted their morale and followed Zhou Hao's shouting to kill the rebel camp.

Liu Hong rode on his horse, and successively cut down a few of his subordinate generals who ran away from him, and finally gathered some soldiers and horses, and greeted them in the direction of the Song army led by Zhou Hao.

After a battle with the Song army led by Liu Qi and Yao Yuzhong, the current rebels actually have a kind of psychology of underestimating the enemy, thinking that the official army is really nothing, and the equipment is useless, so they were still defeated in Ganzhou and fled?

Therefore, Liu Hong thinks that as long as he blocks this Song army and kills a few Song army generals, then the Song army will collapse immediately, and they can still win this battle.

But Liu Hong forgot who brought the troops this time, as a country warrior, he didn't care much about political affairs, although he had also heard of Gao Huaiyuan's name, but he didn't take Gao Huaiyuan seriously.

When he led the troops to meet Zhou Hao's Song army, the sky at this time had begun to brighten, Liu Hong saw that the number of Song troops was not much, so he became bolder, and immediately put the machete horizontally, blocking Zhou Hao's way.

Tyre! Who will be the future of Song? Dare to attack your Grandpa Liu's camp, it's like looking for death! Hurry up and report your name, you Uncle Liu is an immortal nameless ghost under the knife! Liu Hong's five big and three thick, and his face is full of beard, and he is also wearing a bright red robe, which looks very majestic, quite a bit of a general's demeanor.

But after Zhou Hao glanced at him coldly, the corners of his mouth only twitched slightly, revealing a subtle sneer, and then immediately returned to an expressionless appearance, shook the human blood on the double knife, pointed at Liu Hong with the knife, and replied briefly and simply: You are the traitor Liu Hong! Remember my name! My name is Zhou Hao!

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, slapped the butt of the war horse with the back of the knife, and then rushed towards Liu Hong with the knife.

As soon as the soldiers of the Song army saw Zhou Hao rushing up, they all waved their weapons, held high the banner of the Song army, and rushed towards the rebels.

Liu Hong saw that the Song army began to charge, so he raised his machete and shouted: "Little guys, rush up and kill all these damn officers and soldiers!"

After that, Liu Hong also patted his horse towards Zhou Hao, the war horses of the two people accelerated to the extreme, Liu Hong's machete was raised and aimed at Zhou Hao and chopped his head, but Zhou Hao was not in a hurry, just lowered his head slightly, no one saw him shoot, and the war horses of the two people staggered.

Liu Hong missed a knife, and Zhou Hao crossed by the wrong horse, only to feel a sudden pain in his waist, when he rushed out of a distance, looked down, when even if he shouted, he planted the war horse.

Everyone looked at Liu Hong again, only to find that Liu Hong was almost cut in two by Zhou Hao from the waist, and a large number of intestines and internal organs poured out from the huge wound on his waist and abdomen that was split, Liu Hong lost the big knife, hysterically screamed in horror, and his hands were busy trying to stuff his intestines back into his abdominal cavity, but it was easy for this thing to come out, and it was difficult to go in again.

The rebels saw that the main general could not even walk through the hands of others, and was killed, and this battle naturally could not be fought, so they had to scatter and flee under the cover of the official army.

The officers and soldiers have military discipline and are not allowed to surrender, so as long as the rebels surrender on their knees, they will be spared from being killed, and under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, more rebels have chosen to surrender on their knees.

This battle took less than half a day, the entire vanguard of the rebels was annihilated, the defeated rebels fled everywhere, a team of Song soldiers and horses continued to shuttle back and forth, and a large number of troops were escorted back to the Tangjiazhuang camp, and at this time Gao Huaiyuan had personally led the main force of the Song army and stationed in the original rebel camp.

In this battle, the rebels were beheaded by the official army Liu Hong two or three thousand people at once, and more than 5,000 rebels were captured. After pondering and pondering, they suddenly realized that the reason seemed to be that the commander of the Song Army had changed.

Gao Huaiyuan did not intend to entangle with the remnants of the rebel army here, cut off the head of the rebel general Liu Hong, sent a fast horse to pass on the first Beijing division to report the victory, and the rest of the prisoners were handed over to Pan Bo for screening, only the officers of the rebel army were detained, and for those who followed the crowd, they were open-minded, and after a lesson, they were given some food, and each person was given another hundred yuan as travel expenses, so that they could return to their hometowns on their own, and told them that if they joined the rebels again and were caught by the government, they would be killed, and then the army immediately took Zhou Hao as the vanguard and advanced towards Guixi County.

Guixi County is still in the hands of the rebels, these rebels basically have no military discipline at all, when they heard that their commander was beheaded in Tangjiazhuang, where would they dare to stay here and fight to the death with the official army! So under the leadership of a deputy general, more than 2,000 rebels immediately abandoned Guixi County and rushed away in the direction of Jiangnan West Road.

Chen Sangun and Zhang Demon King soon learned the news, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, from the beginning of their incident, the actions of the righteous army went very smoothly, and many businessmen seemed to support their righteous deeds, and provided them with a lot of material help at the beginning of their uprising, so Chen Sangun's righteous army developed and grew very fast, after defeating Ganzhou and killing the corrupt officials in Ganzhou, the righteous army was immediately supported by the people all over Jiangnan West Road, and in more than two months, they developed to more than 100,000 people.

And what made Chen Sangun happy was that he also inadvertently met a master, this person was named Tian Kebang, who was an old man, when he was plotting to start an incident, this Tian Kebang took the initiative to find Chen Sangun and told Chen Sangun that he was a person who could achieve great things, and was willing to stay by his side and act as a staff member for him.

Originally, Chen Sangun didn't trust this Tian Kebang very much, but in a few days, Tian Kebang contacted some businessmen on Fujian Road, provided him with a lot of assets, and secretly transported a batch of armor to him, so that Chen Sangun quickly armed a team of thousands of people, so that Chen Sangun gradually trusted this Tian Kebang.

And this Tian Kebang is very familiar with the situation in the area of Jiangnan West Road, and constantly gives Chen Sangun advice, which makes Chen Sangun's strength swell up rapidly in a short time, at this time Tian Kebang gave Chen Sangun an idea, telling Chen Sangun that the current emperor cannot be regarded as orthodox, it is because of Shi Miyuan to become the emperor, and the emperor should be the former prince Zhao Hong, and told Chen Sangun that when he was walking in Beijing before, he had seen Zhao Hong and knew what Zhao Hong looked like.

Tian Kebang asked Chen Sangun to play the banner of the crown prince Zhao Hong, and also found a person under Chen Sangun, saying that this person looked very similar to Zhao Hong, and asked Chen Sangun to push this fake Zhao Hong to the table, so that he could get more people's support.
