Chapter 271: It’s Difficult To Be A Heroic Warrior One
【Shaanzhou·Shaanxi County】
Gao Lian arrived in Yongning with an army of 30,000 people a day earlier, and took over the prefecture of Yongning according to the order, and became the leading figure in Yongning City. This prefect regarded the Green Forest Army as a piece of tofu and was eager to make meritorious deeds. Where is this? The city was able to maintain its composure, entertain local officials and wealthy people, rest and prepare troops and horses. The next day, the Gao Zhifu, which "mounts the horse to manage the army, dismounts the horse to manage the people", also received a report from the soldiers, knowing that the Green Forest Army had already Forty thousand troops were stationed in Shaanxi County at night to prepare for attack and defense.
After hearing this, Gao Lian rubbed his hands and looked impatient, and sneered: "These thieves are hiding in Chang'an. I was about to come to arrest you, sir. But it's better that you came to the door yourself today. This is God has taught me that I have succeeded, so quickly pass down the order to the left and right, gather the troops and horses, first take Shaanxian County, and then force Chang'an, and send the soldiers who originally defended the city to go up to the city to guard. , when the administration was established, the military officials who were in charge, and the troops and horses from each department, just looked at each other in the training ground, and then the generals followed Gao Lian out of the city and headed towards Shaanxi County.
After marching for only half a day, they arrived in Shaanzhou and easily captured Shihao Town. Without stopping, they continued to march westward and set up camp a hundred miles away from Shaanxi County.
After receiving the news, the Green Forest Army had already prepared the city defense. When Wu Song heard that Gao Lian was stationed on the left, he immediately came to look for Wu Yong and said: "We have been attacking for thousands of miles. Now we have just set up camp and the soldiers are tired. It is we who are waiting to attack." Good time to hit hard,"
"A half-day march is not a thousand-mile raid, but what you said is not completely unreasonable. Military strategists have been unpredictable since ancient times, so it would be better for us to go and find out his background." After Wu Yong agreed, he and Wu Song ordered 20,000 troops and headed towards Come in the direction of Gao Lian's camp.
Gao Lian had already sent out a large number of scout horses. When Wu Song and others left the city, some of the scout horses galloped back to report to Gao Lian.
There was a wise man under Gao Lian named Yang Yuan, who was specially invited by Gao Qiu to serve as a military advisor with Gao Lian. Yang Yuan and Gao Lian were in the Chinese army's tent together. They heard that Wu Song and others were coming with soldiers and horses to facilitate Gao Lian. Lian came up with a plan and said: "The bandit army must have thought that when we first arrived and our troops were tired, they would use this opportunity to attack in a sneak attack. In Gao Prefecture, the villain has a plan to prevent this group of thieves from stealing the chicken but losing the rice."
Gao Lian's words were very unpleasant, so he turned his head and said: "You mean, I'm a chicken, huh, I, Gao Lian, have extraordinary abilities, but I still need to play your tricks. Do you think I can let them do it?" There is no coming back." After saying that, he ordered the soldiers and horses to come out of the stronghold to meet the enemy.
Gao Lian had three hundred soldiers under his command, known as the "Flying Divine Soldiers". They were all strong men selected from Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Lianghuai and Zhejiang. The prefect Gao Lian personally led this group. Wearing armor and carrying a sword, he mounted his horse and left the camp. With more than 30,000 subordinates and officers, Zhou Jong formed a formation, lined up the flying divine soldiers in the center, waved flags and shouted, beat drums and gold, just waiting for the enemy to arrive.
After half an hour, Wu Song and Wu Yong arrived with their troops. The two armies met each other, with flags and drums facing each other. Each had strong bows and crossbows to shoot at the positions. The two armies blew the horns and beat the drums. Wu Song and Wu He led all ten generals from the Songzi camp to the front of the formation and reined in the horses.
General Wu Song wielded two iron swords, leaped out of the formation and shouted loudly: "Thieves named Gao, come out quickly!"
When Gao Lian heard this, he beat his horse and led more than thirty officers to the front gate of the formation. He suddenly reined in his horse, pointed at Wu Song and cursed: "You traitors who don't know how to die, don't see me coming." Why don't you hand over the city and still dare to resist?"
Wu Song pointed his sword at Gao Lian and shouted sternly: "You are a robber who harms the people. Sooner or later I will kill you in the capital and cut your bully and thief Gao Qiu into thousands of pieces. Only then will I be happy."
Gao Lian was furious when he heard this, and turned around and asked: "Who will take action to capture this thief first?" Before he finished speaking, a commander came out of the officer team, his surname was Yu and his given name was Zhi. Skip out of the formation.
When Wu Song saw the visitor, he didn't take it seriously. He sneered and said, "Looking for death." He slapped his horse with his sword and ran forward.
The two met in the middle, and within five rounds of the fight, Yu Zhi was stabbed in the heart by Wu Song. He rolled over and fell to the ground. His master was dead. The beast with four hooves ran away with blood on his back. Went back to camp.
Gao Lian was shocked when he saw Wu Song's tightness. He shouted angrily and asked, "Who else will take revenge?"
Another commander came out of the officer corps, his surname was Wen, and his twin names were Wenbao. He wielded a long spear and rode a yellow gelding horse. When the bell rang, he went out to the formation early. His four horse hooves stirred up Zhengchen and went straight to Wu Song. Wu Song Immediately waiting on the spot, watching the guy rushing over, he couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile, but in the eyes of Wen Wenbao, who was rushing over, he looked extremely weird and evil, and he didn't wait for Wen Wenbao to hit him. Shivering, Wu Song suddenly urged his horse forward and brandished his sword to fight Wen Wenbao.
When the two were about to fight, Wu Song opened a door for him to come in with his gun. With a sneer, he raised the knife and brought it down with a swipe on the ground. He cut off half of Wen Wenbao's Tianling Cap and died. After dismounting, the horse still ran back to the formation.
Seeing that Wu Song easily won two battles in a row, the Green Forest Army shouted loudly and cheered. Gao Lian, who was facing the opponent, saw that he had lost two generals in a row. When Abao Jian came, he muttered something in his mouth and shouted loudly: "Ji,"
I saw a black air billowing up from Gao Lian's team. The air dispersed into the air, flying sand and rocks, shaking the sky and the earth, and creating a strange wind, sweeping past the enemy.
Seeing this, Wu Yong hurriedly summoned Wu Song with gold, and as the strange wind approached rapidly, all the generals could not look at each other. They were so frightened that the seated war horse roared wildly, and everyone turned around and left.
Gao Lian waved his sword and directed the three hundred magic soldiers to suddenly come out from the black clouds and the strange wind to kill the generals. He shouted at the officers and soldiers on his back to help, and they all put their horses to cover them. They killed Wu Song and other soldiers until they scattered in the clouds, and seven pieces were broken. Ba Xu called his brothers to look for his son and his master. Twenty thousand soldiers were killed, and more than five thousand of them were killed. They fled for seventy or eighty miles and returned to the city of Shaanxi County.
When Gao Lian saw the men and horses retreating, he also collected his troops after chasing them halfway and returned to his base camp.
[Outside Yuncheng County·Garrison Camp]
Everything in the military camp is plain, and in front of the Chinese army's tent, a high platform half a man high has been built. On the high platform is a long table, with Wang Ying's memorial tablet on it, and fruits, fruits and animals. In front of the coffin, a man was kneeling with his hands tied behind his back and being escorted by sergeants on the left and right. On both sides were five or six law enforcement officers holding sticks.
Under the high platform, there were many leaders lined up, followed by the entire battalion of officers and soldiers. At the front stood Shi Jin, Chao Gai, and Song Jiang, wearing white cloth on their heads and linen clothes. A bowl of wine was placed in front of each of them.
Chao Gai picked up the wine bowl, threw it on the ground towards Wang Ying's memorial tablet, and shouted: "Go on your way with peace of mind," and everyone echoed "Go on your way with peace of mind," and then followed the king of heaven, Chao Gai, raised the wine bowl and paid tribute. Wang Ying drank it all in one gulp.
