Only then did Du Hu understand that the truth had been revealed, so he was immediately frightened and shouted for mercy, but where would anyone speak for him at this time, the two Shen Ning's personal soldiers immediately set him up and wanted to drag him aside to ask for a knife, but he was immediately stopped by Huang Yan.

"Wait! Let me do it! I will personally avenge the unjust deaths of our brethren! Damn, you bastard has a day! As he spoke, he ran over with a cruel smile, grabbed Du Hu, and dragged him towards the township barracks like a dead dog.

Along the way, Du Hu Ghost cried wolf howling and begged to spare his life, and gradually the voice began to spread far away, Gao Huaiyuan bowed down and thanked Shen Ning: "Thank you Vice General Shen Mingjian, Gao was angry just now, how disrespectful, and I hope Vice General Shen will bear with me!" ”

Shen Ning is actually still dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan, after all, today's incident is too much to refute his face, but Du Hu is also his subordinate, and he is not easy to explain when this incident happens, and in addition, the township soldiers under Gao Huaiyuan underestimate him, so he pretended to be unsupportive and waved his hand: "In the next few days, there will be a commander of Lao Gao, Shen is injured, and everything is under the command of Lao Gao!" ”

After saying that, he lay down, closed his eyes and stopped looking at Gao Huaiyuan and the others.

Gao Huaiyuan knew that Shen Ning was not broad-minded, so he didn't delay any longer, and after nodding to the surrounding Song soldiers, he turned around and walked towards his camp.

After hearing a miserable scream in the township barracks not long after, Du Hu's ghost crying wolf howl stopped abruptly, a bloody head was picked on the tip of a gun, and the township soldiers sounded a cheer, Du Hu ambushed everyone and let everyone sulk, otherwise, these people really want to pick a son and go home!

After asking the guide, Gao Huaiyuan sent people out of the mountain and began to inquire about the surrounding situation, and sent people to the predetermined place to carry some food to support their actions in the mountains.

Guerrilla warfare is a very difficult thing, not to mention that it is not good to eat and drink, there is not even a decent tent, the soldiers and generals are sleeping on the ground, it is good to say on a sunny day, but as soon as it rains, everyone is uncomfortable, and they can only huddle together and hide under the trees to avoid the rain, and everyone is so cold that they shiver, so Gao Huaiyuan led the people to maneuver with the Jin army in the mountains west of Suizhou for more than ten days before retreating to Zaoyang County.

In the past ten days, Gao Huaiyuan led these more than 700 people, under the guidance of the guide, attacked from the mountains many times, attacked the Jin army's stragglers one after another, and also knocked out a Jin army's convoy transporting grain in the direction of Zaoyang, intercepting a large amount of grain, making the Jin army's people panic, no longer daring to move in small groups, and morale was also greatly hit.

Seeing that there was not much to gain if he continued to stay, and the degree of danger was also increasing, Gao Huaiyuan decided to end this guerrilla war and return to Zaoyang County to join the army.

At this time, Zaoyang was also in the midst of a fierce battle, Wanyan Race did not want to avenge the humiliation of the defeat before the year, gathered a large army outside Zaoyang City, and launched a second attack on Zaoyang, and there was a posture of not giving up if Zaoyang was not conquered.

And this time, under the auspices of Meng Zongzheng, Zaoyang's troops increased greatly, and the resistance was very resolute, and the preparations were quite sufficient, a large number of materials were replenished in advance, and a lot of throwing carts and other imperial guards were supervised, the city walls were reinforced, and he personally went to the city every day to supervise the battle.

After Wanyan Sai did not lead the troops to Zaoyang City, he attacked for half a month, and the siege was very intense, but under the loss of troops, he did not even touch the top of the city wall.

Moreover, behind them, Hu Zaixing's soldiers and horses, as well as the armies of Chen Xiang and Liu Shiguang, constantly attacked and disturbed their rear transportation lines, which made Wanyan not very nervous, and had to send a considerable number of troops to protect the route from Wuyang Pass to Zaoyang, which greatly weakened the offensive strength of the Jin army.

This style of play greatly surprised Yan Saibu, and formed a great containment of the Jin army, and he wanted to break through Zaoyang in one fell swoop, cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and after killing Meng Zongzheng's soldiers and horses, he went straight to Xiangyang Mansion, but he was dragged under Zaoyang City again and fought a war of attrition.

The development of the war situation is once again unfavorable to the Jin army, after all, they have not gained a firm foothold in this area, and Suizhou has been unable to control it, so that the supply of so many soldiers and horses has to rely on domestic transportation, and the long supply line has almost become a nightmare for the Jin army.

At this point, Wanyan Sai has already understood a little, the Jin Army is no longer the former Jin Army, and the Southern Dynasty is no longer the former Northern Dynasty, the Song State is not as weak as they imagined, and the Jin State is no longer as strong as before!

When Gao Huaiyuan and the injured Shen Ning withdrew from Suizhou to the predetermined position in Zaoyang County, Hu Zaixing had already returned here a few days in advance, gathered his soldiers and horses, and Chen soldiers were in the Baishanling area, threatening the rear of the Jin army from the northeast of Zaoyang County.

Gao Huaiyuan acted in a low-key manner, and pushed the credit for this period of action to Shen Ning, who stated their activities during this period to Hu Zaixing, and won Hu Zaixing's great praise, and praised them again and again for doing a good job, especially the ambush in Lishan Town, which was originally Shen Ning's rash advance, but he won a battle and saved a lot of face for Shen Ning, since then Shen Ning's resentment towards Gao Huaiyuan has completely disappeared, and he is very grateful to Gao Huaiyuan in his heart.

If it weren't for Gao Huaiyuan's deliberate defense of him, just the battle of Lishan Town, Hu Zaixing would have been able to take away his military power and degrade him to the army, now it's good, Gao Huaiyuan has no merit and gave him most of the credit, if he is dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan again, then he is really not a person!

Therefore, Shen Ning didn't take all the credit, and he also greatly appreciated Gao Huaiyuan's ability in front of Hu Zaixing, saying that if it wasn't for Gao Huaiyuan's accompaniment this time, he would definitely not have been able to get such credit! Therefore, Hu Zaixing had to praise Gao Huaiyuan again.

As for the reward, because it was still wartime at this time, it was too early to talk about the meritorious deeds, so after Gao Huaiyuan and his party returned to the team, Hu Zaixing immediately began to think about the next move, because Gao Huaiyuan's performance was outstanding, so this time Gao Huaiyuan was fortunate to participate in the formulation of the action plan again.

During this time, Hu Zaixing had already tasted the sweetness of this kind of guerrilla warfare, so he no longer wanted to have a hard-to-face duel with the Jin army, and wanted to continue to play a game of cat and mouse with the Jin army, but Gao Huaiyuan once again put forward his opinion, because at this time, the Jin army had lost its spirit, and now the Zaoyang area belongs to the plain area of ravines, and there is no mountainous advantage like Suizhou.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan thinks that at this time, it is better to concentrate his strength, beat the Jin army hard, leave with a punch, drag the Jin army around the territory of Zaoyang County, look for opportunities to annihilate the Jin army during the movement, and can also effectively support Meng Zongzheng to defend in Zaoyang County.

After Hu Zaixing listened to Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion, he was a little hesitant, after all, he only had three thousand soldiers on hand now, and if he wanted to shake the Jin soldiers, his strength was a little insufficient, and the Jin cavalry was a big threat to them.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and explained: "It is not unreasonable for General Hu to be worried, the young general thinks that there is no need to be too afraid of the cavalry of the Jin army, the streams in the northwest of Zaoyang County are vertical and horizontal, and it seems that the plain area is true, but it is not conducive to the development of the cavalry of the Jin army, as long as we can hurt the Jin army, and then quickly withdraw into the water network area in the northwest, with the advantage that our army is familiar with the local situation, we can completely grasp the initiative on the battlefield, and this area is not only vertical and horizontal streams, but also has some hills, which is very suitable for us to disperse the enemy's forces. Then divide and annihilate, the odds of victory can be said to be relatively large!

And General Hu was active in this area last year, and fought with the Jin Army many times, and he was very familiar with the situation in this area, so he might as well drag the Jin Army into this area like last year, beat them hard, and greatly kill the Jin Army's sharpness, it is estimated that after the Jin Army suffered several defeats, it will naturally retreat in the face of difficulties, and the siege of Zaoyang can be solved naturally! ”

After Hu Zaixing listened to it, he felt that Gao Huaiyuan's words were reasonable, so after summing up with several other subordinates, he decided to adopt Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion again, and the troops went out of Baishan Ridge to raid the northern camp of the Jin army outside Zaoyang City.

After the army had a full meal the next day, they packed up and stopped, and the army pulled out the camp and set up the village, and marched quickly in the direction of Zaoyang, and after a day of rapid marching, finally saw the outline of Zaoyang City in the distance at night.

In order to attack Zaoyang, the Jin army stationed a large camp on three sides of Zaoyang City, each division and one side, and attacked Zaoyang County in turn every day, although recently I heard that the Song army in Suizhou had activities from time to time, constantly attacking the transportation lines of the Jin army, but did not expect that the Song army would suddenly appear in the north, and suddenly appeared behind their north camp.

The lord of Beiying is Wan Yan Ke, the general under Wan Yan Saibu, and he is also a general in the Wan Yan family, but this guy is not far worse than Wan Yan Sai, it can be said that he is a wine bag and rice bag, it is okay to eat, drink and have fun, and it is really impossible to march and fight.

This guy didn't expect that the back of his ass would be suddenly attacked by the Song army, and his attention was on Zaoyang County and their west, and he didn't even send scouts to the north, so he provided great convenience for Hu Zaixing, and he touched the rear of the Jin army's north camp without any interruption along the way, and then stopped the soldiers and horses.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hu Zaixing took a few of his subordinates, including Gao Huaiyuan, to climb high and overlook the north camp of the Jin Army, and saw that the lights in the Jin camp were bright, and he didn't even notice their arrival after noticing their arrival, and even the gate was not closed. Jin Jun was in the dark at this time, and he was so lax, if he didn't beat them hard today, he would be really sorry for this finish! Pass my general order to go down, let the soldiers rest on the spot for two hours, and as soon as the hour is over, they will immediately attack the camp of the Jin army with me! ”

After listening to the order, the generals immediately bowed down to answer the order, and then turned back to their respective camps and conveyed the order, this time even Gao Huaiyuan's baggage battalion was ordered to go into battle together, so Gao Huaiyuan was a little excited.

This kind of large-scale assault war, he is really the first time to experience, this time with the army, it is really not in vain, basically the way of fighting, he has seen it, whether it is a small-scale contact battle in the plains or mountains or a defensive battle based on the city, or a large-scale battle between the two armies, guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and sneak attack warfare, it is basically a personal experience, and finally lived up to his original hope, and also made these teenagers under his command completely mature in the war.

And this night assault battle, it can be said that it was also from his idea, but in the scheduling of the whole army, he is far less powerful than a general like Hu Zaixing, Hu Zaixing is not comparable to a general like Shen Ning, he is also a general who kills all the way from a small soldier, and has a lot of combat experience.

After returning to his baggage camp, Gao Huaiyuan immediately summoned the villagers in the camp to cheer them up for a while, and gave them some instructions, arranged various precautions, and then let them rest, and then he found a dry place on the spot, wiped the knife, and fell to the ground and slept with clothes after eating some rough dry food.

As soon as the time came, Gao Huaiyuan woke up by himself, immediately woke up Zhou Hao, who was sleeping beside him, and whispered: "Wake up the brothers, it's time for us to get up and go!" Let the brothers cheer up, don't fall behind, in the chaos of the army, if you fall behind, it is tantamount to looking for death! Act fast! ”

So Zhou Hao immediately went down and whispered and began to beckon his subordinates to form a team, and after a while, the baggage battalion all got up and lined up, one by one, with their chests and stomachs folded, packed up their clothes and armor, and silently lined up in several columns in the night.

From Gao Huaiyuan got up, to the completion of the entire baggage battalion of the villagers, the whole time was only about ten minutes, so Gao Huaiyuan nodded with satisfaction, such a long time of training was not in vain, this heavy battalion formed in Xiangyang, from the original rabble has already practiced a degree, it can be regarded as a useful elite soldier, Gao Huaiyuan boasted that his own township soldiers, even compared to the combat effectiveness of those regular armies under Hu Zaixing, this night battle, Hu Zaixing's letting his township barracks fight also shows the affirmation of his troops.

So the villagers who received the order were also very excited at this time, everyone has their own self-esteem, no one wants to be treated as garbage by others, so when the township barracks were assembled, most of the regular troops under Hu Zaixing had not yet completed the assembly, and after seeing the actions of the township barracks, the officers of each battalion felt a little dull on their faces, and their big feet flew up, and they kicked them all together, and they quickly gathered their subordinates.

Hu Zaixing nodded with satisfaction, raised the big gun in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Attack......"

Three thousand soldiers silently followed Hu Zaixing together, under the cover of the night to the north camp of the Jin army, this night sky has no moon, but the weather is very clear, the starry sky can not hide the soaring murderous spirit of this army of soldiers and horses, the gold camp at this time, has long been quiet, the Jin soldiers who have been busy for a day except for a small number of soldiers on duty at night and patrolling the camp still have their eyes open, the rest of the people have already been lying in the military tent snoring loudly, sleeping like a dead man.

A group of Jin soldiers at the gate of the Jin camp yawned from time to time, and their demeanor was very relaxed, anyway, this is the back gate of the Jin camp, and the Song army in the city will not go out of the city from here to attack them, so they are very lax, if it weren't for the fear that the officers would catch them to sleep, they would have fallen asleep on the gate long ago!

In order to pass the boring time, the two Jin soldiers chatted about their hometown without a word, and talked about some things that had nothing to do with the war, so as to pass the time, just wait for the next shift to come over and replace them, so that they could return to the tent and sleep beautifully.

"I said, brother, did you hear anything? Why do I think something is wrong? A Jin soldier suddenly became a little nervous, grabbed the spear in his hand and pushed the Jin soldier next to him and said to him.

"You're not bothered! I just took a nap and was woken up by you! What was that? I didn't hear it! The golden soldier replied impatiently.

At this time, the ground began to shake slightly, and there was a sound that seemed to be a horse's hooves in the distance.

"Bang Bang Bang ......" suddenly sounded a familiar voice outside the gate, and the faces of the golden soldiers suddenly changed, because he suddenly saw a large black shadow outside the gate in the night, and this sound was simply the sound of the bowstring when many bows and crossbows were fired at the same time, so these golden soldiers realized the seriousness of the problem, and suddenly shouted: "The enemy is attacking ......"

As soon as their shouts sounded, a white shadow appeared in the dark night sky, and the swishing sound filled the entire Yuanmen, and an arrow was splashed on several arrow towers at the Yuanmen like a torrential rain......

(It's Monday again!) Cast your red vote, brethren! ）
