Chapter 23: No Intention to Make Meritorious Contributions

Due to the lack of boats to cross the river, and because it was a time of war, there were no available boats on the river, so only a dozen small boats for nearby fishermen to catch fish, and more than 1,000 people, plus supplies and food, took a day to cross the river.

Wang Shun decided to go to Tangzhou first, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and then go to Caizhou, and then kill Shunchang.

On this day, there are still dozens of miles away from Tangzhou, Tanma reported that Tangzhou had been occupied by the Jin, and not long after, Tanma came to report that Caizhou had been broken by the Jinren a day ago.

Wang Shun asked the generals, now that Tangzhou and Caizhou have been occupied by the Jin soldiers, where should we go now?

The generals suggested that now that we have a large number of soldiers, it is better to take Tangzhou first, and then Caizhou, so as to disturb the rear of the Golden Vultures.

Pan Bao said: "Although we have many soldiers and horses now, but the city wall of Tangzhou is strong, and we don't know the reality of the golden soldiers, so we can't rush forward, we have to explore clearly." ”

Wang Shun nodded: "The spies continue to go to find out the truth of the Jin soldiers, and our army will set up camp ten miles away from Tangzhou, and then discuss." ”

At the same time, the news of Wang Shunyi's army crossing the river had reached the ears of Wan Yan Mei, the guard general of the Tangzhou Jin soldiers, and after listening to the spies' report, Yan Guda sneered: "Hmph, a straggler is brave, there is nothing to be afraid of, and an army can be sent to destroy them." ”

As soon as Wang Shunyi's army had built the camp, a spy came to report: "A Jin soldier of about 2,000 people has set off from Tangzhou, only five miles away from our army. ”

Pan Bao sneered: "I was going to find them, but I sent them to the door, I came just in time, and I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

After a while, he heard a horn outside the camp, and then shouted like thunder, and the spies came again to report: "The golden soldiers have arrived in front of the camp and set up their positions, and a golden soldier general is shouting and fighting." ”

Wang Shun was furious: "What a golden barbarian, do you think we are easy to bully?" and then looked at the generals: "Who wants to take the head of this thief." ”

Pan Bao said: "I'll go and meet him and see what this barbarian is capable of." ”

Pan Bao ordered 500 soldiers, out of the camp, set up a formation, Wang Shun was afraid that Pan Leopard would lose, led the generals, ordered 1,000 people, out of the camp to Pan Leopard to plunder.

I saw that there were about 2,000 gold soldiers in front, lined up, swords shining, 500 archers on the left, 500 spears on the right, 500 cavalry in the middle, followed by 500 infantry, 10 generals standing in front, among which the generals were calling for battle in front of the battle.

The leader of the Jin soldier is named Yan Guda, is the pioneer of Wan Yan Mei, and came to snipe this army after Yan Mei's order, Wan Yan Mei felt that this was just an anti-gold team organized by a civil organization of the Song people, and only gave Yan Guda 500 people, but Yan Guda and the Song soldiers fought many times, knowing that the Song soldiers were either regular soldiers or anti-gold teams of civil organizations, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, Yan Guda said that they should not be careless about any Song soldiers, and there were many people in this righteous army, and the combat effectiveness should not be bad, and the enemy should not be underestimated.

There were 3,000 Jin soldiers in Tangzhou, and Wan Yanmei finally agreed that Yan Guda would bring 2,000 and 10 generals to destroy this rebel army.

Yan Guda came to Wang Shun's military camp with 2,000 people, and saw that the Song army's camp was neat, and it was not an anti-gold team organized by a non-governmental organization at all, and they dared to cross the river alone, unless the generals did not understand the art of war, or their strength was not weak.

Wan Yanmei felt in her heart that it was only not the Yue family army of the Song people or the Han family army, so she set up a formation and sent a military general to call for battle in front of the battle, wanting to touch the reality of this team first.

Listening to only a cannon sound, the door of the Song military camp was wide open, and a team of military horses rushed out of it, and came to the front of the formation to open the formation, only to see that this team of Song soldiers had no clothes and armor, and the generals had no good horses.

Pan Bao held a big knife in his hand, rode his horse forward, and the Jin general, who was calling for battle, saw a cloth general in the Song soldier camp walk out, and raised the long knife in his hand: "Ah, do you Song people have no soldiers? The farmers have come out to fight, go back, and tell your emperor Xiao'er to surrender quickly, and I will spare you from death." He laughed.

Pan Bao didn't speak, rushed forward, the big knife in his hand slashed down obliquely, Jin Jiang was taken aback, and hurriedly raised the knife on the shelf, Pan Bao's knife came too fast, the power was too great, only one knife, cut Jin Jiang Lian with a knife in half, and scared Yan Guda in the back, this army can not be careless, turned his head and asked: "Who is going to kill this person?"

Adjutant General Wuli said: "I'll go." ”

Uritan came to Pan Bao: "I am Yan Guda's pioneer deputy general Uritan, who are you, report your name." ”

Pan Bao said: "You also deserve to know my name? Go back and call your boss to come and die." ”

Uritan was furious: "Nobody watch the stick. The mace in his hand hit him head, Pan Leopard raised his knife and opened it, and the two fought.

Wu Litan is the first military general under Yan Guda, his force is not weak, and Pan Bao fought for a few rounds, and gradually couldn't parry, Yan Guda saw it really in the back, and asked: "Who is going to help Wu Litan kill this person." The two generals raised their swords and slapped their horses and rushed up, Zhou Kui and Liu Yunlong saw them behind them, and shouted: "Big brother, let's help you." The horse rushed towards the two golden generals.

Six people each raised their weapons, in front of the two armies clanging in front of the battle, a few rounds, the two Jin generals were successively cut by Zhou Kui and Liu Yunlong under the horse, and Pan Leopard was fighting Wu Litan was shocked, a false move, turned around and left, Pan Bao how to let him escape, patted the horse and followed, only to see a flash of the knife, Wu Litan's head flew out, only to see the Jin soldiers all frightened.

Wang Shun saw clearly in the back, waved his hand, waved the army to cover up, Wan Yanmei couldn't resist it, the Jin soldiers were in chaos, and they were defeated backwards, Wang Shun covered all the way, the Jin soldiers lost their armor and retreated to Tangzhou City, Wang Shun chased them all the way to Tangzhou City.

Yan Guda lost more than half of the loss, Wan Yanmei was furious, seeing that the Song soldiers were already approaching the city, she was afraid that they would attack the city, so she had to close the door and order the soldiers to defend the city.

Wang Shun won a big victory in the first battle, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said to the generals: "The Jin soldiers are nothing more than that, let's rest for two days, prepare siege equipment, and take Tangzhou." The generals agreed in unison.

It is said that Xiao Linger has been in the barracks for a few days, this day and the Jin soldiers, Xiao Linger as an ordinary soldier, participated in the battle of the Jin soldiers, in front of the battle saw Pan Bao Brother the third person killed a few Jin generals, Wang Shun waved the army to cover the kill, Xiao Linger also rushed over, but looking at the cruel battlefield in front of him, Xiao Linger only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he could only hold the spear numbly and rush forward, although the final victory of the righteous army, Xiao Linger could not shake the scene of the battle with the Jin soldiers during the day, but he did not kill a Jin soldier, looking at the cheers after the victory of the whole army, Qu Bingru usually came to chat with Xiao Luer, and joked that Xiao Linger would celebrate him on the day he became a general。

The rebels surrounded Tangzhou City, and tonight it was Xiao Ling'er who was on duty, and he had been on duty at night, as well as several other soldiers. At this time, it was midnight, Xiao Ling'er suddenly felt anxious, and said to her companion next to her: "I have a stomachache, I want to go to make it easier." β€œ

Xiao Ling'er walked to the remote part of the barracks, unbuttoned his pants, and with a torrent gushing out, his stomach instantly felt a lot more comfortable, and he was about to put on his pants, when two black shadows suddenly flashed in front of him, "Someone." The sentinel's vigilance made Xiao Ling'er chase after him with a spear, and soon caught up with the two black shadows, "Stop." Xiao Lu'er snorted, the two black shadows didn't expect that there were sentries in the remote part of this camp, and when they saw that Xiao Ling'er was only one person, he drew his scimitar, "It's Jin Bing." Xiao Ling'er saw that Jin Bing used this kind of knife.

The two black shadows rushed up with a knife, it seemed that they wanted to solve Xiao Ling'er, and the shots were all killing moves, although Xiao Ling'er had been training with the spear team for a few days, how could they resist these two people, the spear was knocked away in a few moves, the two black shadows were overjoyed, and slashed at Xiao Ling'er with a scimitar, Xiao Ling's hand was shocked, and it was too late to shout people, so he had to use the footwork taught by his master, and before the knife of the two black-clothed people fell, his body had already flashed to the other side, and the two black-clothed men snorted, I didn't expect an ordinary sentry to have such skills, and the scimitar in the hands of the two was tightened and slashed, and beckoned to Xiao Ling's hand。

Xiao Ling'er dodged left and right, the two black-clothed people couldn't get close to his body, the two glanced at each other, one of them suddenly flew up and jumped up, slashing at Xiao Ling'er from the air, and the other danced the knife and attacked Xiao Ling'er down the road, Xiao Ling'er didn't see it well, his feet slipped, and he used a trick taught by the old beggar "Breeze Buddha Flash" Flashed behind the man in black in front, Xiao Linger pushed with both hands, the man in black felt a strong push behind him, his body couldn't stand the force, and he staggered forward, at this time the knife of the man in black who jumped up had been cut down, and the man in black who was pushed by Xiao Linger just ran to the position where Xiao Linger was standing, and the knife cut from the air just happened to be cut above his head, and he died without saying a word.

At this time, the sound of the fight alarmed the other sentinels, and they all shouted that there were assassins, Pan Bao and other generals heard the shouts and rushed over, no matter how brave the man in black was, how could he rush out, and was shot by Qu Bing like a short arrow, and he was captured.

The man in black was escorted to Wang Shun, and Pan Bao stepped forward and ripped off his mask, which turned out to be Yan Guda, the general of the Jin soldiers who was fighting during the day.

Wang Shun asked: "What do you want to break into my military camp in the middle of the night?" β€œ

Yan Guda snorted: "If it falls into your hands, you can kill it if you want to, why bother asking." β€œ

Zhou Kui scolded: "When you die, you dare to be hard-mouthed, believe it or not, I will cut you with a knife." β€œ

Wang Shun waved his hand to stop Zhou Kui, and said to Yan Guda: "Tangzhou has been besieged, you broke into the camp at night, do you want to go out to rescue the soldiers?" β€œ

A sentence reminded Pan Bao, went up to search Yan Guda's body, and sure enough, he found a letter, Wang Shun read the letter, and said to Yan Guda: "You are the vanguard of guarding the beauty of the general, and you dare to break into our army camp at night to rescue the soldiers, you can also be regarded as a good man, if you are willing to surrender, you can spare you from dying." β€œ

Yan Guda looked up to the sky and said: "We were careless, I didn't expect that one of your sentinels would have such high martial arts, and it fell into your hands, asking me to surrender and die of this heart." β€œ

Listening to Yan Guda's words, Wang Shun seemed to think of something, and ordered Yan Guda to be taken down and locked up, and then asked someone to call Xiao Ling'er in.

Wang Shun glanced Xiao Ling'er up and down: "I can't see that your kid is strong in martial arts, and he can actually catch the vanguard of the Jin soldiers, do you know that your kid has made a great contribution? If these two people rush out of the camp, we will be attacked before and after, limited to passivity, from now on, you will no longer be an ordinary soldier, be the deputy captain of my guard." β€œ

This sudden change made Xiao Ling'er unexpected, and what she wanted to say was pulled out of the big tent by Qu Bingru.

Qu Bingru looked at Xiao Ling'er and said, "Okay, you Xiao Ling'er, you have such a good martial arts to hide from me." ”

Xiao Ling touched his head: "I, I don't have ......"

Qu Bingru snorted: "I'm going to be angry if you don't tell the truth again." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Ling'er to speak, Qu Bingru smiled like a flower on her face: "Congratulations on your promotion from soldier to captain of the guard, you make another meritorious service, I will tell Uncle Wang to make you a general." With that, he ran into the tent.

Leaving Xiao Ling'er stunned.
