Chapter 1332 The good fortune of our army, the disaster of the country
Faint thunder seemed to come from the horizon, and the earth trembled slightly. First, there was the sound of luan bells, and there was the sound of hooves. Sentinels and light cavalry from both sides were cruising in the wilderness. A large number of horse and infantry troops also lined up neatly.
The formations, whether they were well-trained cavalry or infantry, exuded a murderous and mighty aura. At a glance, one could tell that most of them were strong, powerful and powerful warriors.
The square formations of the various units under Xiao Tang's command echoed each other according to their military numbers. They were arranged by Zhu Wu, the divine machine strategist of the Chinese Army. Each unit had sword and shield bearers, spearmen, crossbowmen, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry, all arranged in random order according to the service types.
In an orderly formation, at the center of the formation, the large apricot-yellow flag with the four characters "Practice for Heaven" embroidered on it is still fluttering in the wind, fluttering wildly.
On the other hand, although the appearance and appearance of the officers and soldiers under Gao Qiu are not as powerful as those under Xiao Tang, the armor worn by all the generals can be said to be the most powerful among the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
Sophisticated configuration, now the two armies are facing each other, what kind of scene is this? But see:
The troops were divided into nine teams, and the flags were arranged in five directions. Green sunken spears, point-steel spears, and crow-horned spears were all over the field; green dragon knives, crescent moon knives, and wild goose feather knives filled the sky with murderous intent. Bird-painted bows, iron-tied bows, and precious eagles
The bows are inserted into the flying fish bag; the tiger arrows, wolf tooth arrows, and willow leaf arrows are all stored in the lion pot. The birch-cart crossbows, lacquered crossbows, and foot-mounted crossbows are lined up in front of the army; the mountain-opening axe, the moon-cutting axe, and the
Flower axes follow closely behind the squadron. Bamboo whips, tiger eye whips, and water mill whips all hang on the elbows; meteor hammers, chicken heart hammers, and flying grabbing hammers are carried by their sides. Square halberds, and leopard tails flutter; eight feet tall.
The spears are intertwined with beads. The dragon's sword pulls a puddle of autumn water, and the tiger's head card draws a few wisps of spring clouds. The vanguard is brave, leading the elite soldiers who climb the mountains and open the way; the marshal hero is the hero who drinks water and breaks the bridge. The left leads the army, the right leads
The army is magnificent and courageous; the sentry horses are far away and the sentry horses are close, galloping with majesty. The sky is shaken by the drums and drums shaking the mountains, and the flags reflect the sun to ward off ghosts and gods!
"There were not many officers and soldiers on the Jeju side, but Zhang Shuye was quite capable and dared to lead his troops to rescue Song Jiang's group of soldiers and horses... But that guy didn't take my advice to heart.
Since you are making your own decisions, it is no wonder that Cai Gong is very resentful towards Zhang Shuye and his younger brother Zhang Kegong.
As for the leader of the gangsters in Songjiang, the straight mother-in-law! The dog boy who shot the donkey and the cow was just a county official. He thought that by leading the village donkeys, thieves, and water bandits to surrender to the court, he would be able to serve as a minister in the same palace as me?
Huh! Sure enough, it is of no great use, and there is no need to report it to the Holy One. How can that fellow delay the military flight and see me? When I kill Xiao Tang’s gang of thieves, I will also behead Song Jiang’s head to hold him accountable. God forbid.
If the ground does not contain the thieves and birds that need to be chopped off, they will all be extinct!"
In the imperial army's battle formation, Gao Qiu, the chief military officer of the Song Dynasty, was wearing a very rare full-body armor. He did not lower his eyebrows as deliberately as he did when he greeted Zhao Ji in Bianjing.
He looked pleasing to the eye, with a vicious look on his face, gnashing his teeth and shouting curses, and later he couldn't help but utter a few foul words that he often said when he was a rogue in Bianjing.
Zhou Ang, Feng Mei, Bi Sheng, the first four generals in the palace, and even Sun Jing, the staff member of the Palace Commander's Mansion, seemed unaware and allowed Gao Qiu to become more and more angry and cursed, which became more and more inappropriate.
Because they all know that since Gao Qiu sent his troops to Jingdong Road to conquer Xiaotang's group, he was originally confident that he would win, but now he is getting more and more anxious and will get angry at every turn. Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang and other generals in front of the palace
Officials, even Sun Jing and others who have been under Gao Qiu's tent for a long time, if they don't have a sure-fire strategy to defeat the enemy, no one dares to intervene in order to make Gao Qiu angry with them.
While Xiao Tang had to allocate his troops to guard Liangshan in Jeju and Erlongshan in Qingzhou, the official army expected that its main defense would be the newly occupied Shuibo Liangshan, so Song Jiang led his troops to contain them.
The strong bandits living on the Liangshan side first defeated Qingzhou's Erlongshan Dazhai, which was like killing Xiao Tang's arm first. This plan was reasonable, but it also gathered a group of wise men such as Xiao Jiasui, Lu Zhishen, and Sun An.
How can a stronghold guarded by brave soldiers and strong generals be easily broken?
Although Erlongshan Dazhai is not surrounded by 800 miles of water like Liangshan, Gao Qiu at least found out that when Yun Tianbiao, then the military commander of Jingdong Road, attacked the three dangerous passes in front of the village, he was suddenly attacked by the people inside the village.
The continuous stone-throwing artillery bombardment resulted in a disastrous defeat in which men and horses were killed and their armor was thrown off. The surrounding mountains are steep and steep, and only one road from the three passes in the front mountain can lead directly to the Baozhu Temple in the village. However, the area where the army gathered when the pass was to be attacked
, and are all within the artillery fire range of Ling Zhen's slingshot artillery.
Gao Qiu also tried to first dispatch a group of troops to launch a fierce attack on the three passes in front of the mountain. As a result, the leading troops' ladders were just about to be set up on the top of the dangerous pass wall. Ling Zhen then ordered his gunners to launch flying rocks step by step.
....The result is naturally conceivable, and according to the practice of Gao Qiu's army, those who have no silver and filial piety will be sent out to fight, and those who please the commander will stay in the middle army.
How could the tribe have the determination to fight to the death? There is no need to even use various firearms that contain gunpowder and are wrapped in pig iron and fired from a trebuchet to explode in the distance. After several rounds of stones falling down, the official was killed.
The army's tentative siege troops fled in panic and were completely defeated.
Gao Qiu was forced to form a stalemate with the troops led by Xiao Jiasui at the first three passes of Erlong Mountain. Previously, Liu Menglong, Hu Yanzhuo, and then Song Jiang, Han Tianlin, and Ma Wanli ambushed the troops...
The successive defeats of the officers and soldiers also made Gao Qiu feel more anxious and impetuous. In addition to sending his troops to the border of Qingzhou and burning down the Qingfeng Mountain Stronghold that had long been deserted, Gao Qiu certainly had to make a fuss when he went to the court to express his merits.
But he also knew very well that he had not caused any substantial damage to the bandit troops. However, now that he finally led the army to meet Xiao Tang on the battlefield, Gao Qiu still thought in his heart that he could finally fight the rebels in the wild.
Not only can the idle energy that has been suppressed in my heart these days be released, but now is the best opportunity to get rid of that Xiao Tang kid!
Xiao Tang had made some military exploits in the past, but it was all because of the support of the imperial court. Now he can only gather strong bandits in a few green forests. Previously, he relied on the dangerous cannons and artillery of Erlong Mountain and the lakes on Liangshan Mountain. But Xiao Tang
If this traitor in the Tang Dynasty could succeed, why didn't he capture all the military states in the south of the Yangtze River and compete with the imperial court like Lana in the south of the Yangtze River? To put it bluntly, he was just a more powerful green forest bandit. Even if our army failed to attack, the imperial court would always rely on it.
It will pose a threat to the Xiaotang bandits, but if our army defeats the bandits in one fell swoop in this battle, and takes advantage of the situation to attack Erlongshan and Liangshanbo...The bandits will be gone, and how can Xiaotang continue to be rampant?
However, in the formation on the other side, Xiao Tang, who was riding a jade lion horse a few steps forward and was about to challenge the imperial court for a showdown, stared at the military formation opposite that was filled with murderous aura, although he could not see clearly.
The figure of Gao Qiu in the formation on the opposite side still had a question in his mind: Where did the old thief Gao Qiu get the confidence to think that he would definitely take my life with this battle?
Whether it is now or in the original book, it seems that Gao Qiu never figured out how much he weighed when he was leading the army in the war. In the book, before he decided to conquer Shuibo Liangshan, he first boasted to Cai Jing: "It's very rare."
It was Gao Qiu who boasted that if the Grand Master would allow Gao Qiu to lead his troops to conquer there in person, he would be able to defeat him with one blow."... However, the ensuing war was full of loopholes. Although all the officers and soldiers were assembled, they were always in a state of insecurity.
In a passive situation, he finally ended up with the warship being pierced through the bottom and thrown into the lake, where he was captured by Zhang Shun as if he were trying to catch a bastard in the muddy water.
If Gao Qiu had not taken the initiative and recommended himself to fight, he would still be able to dominate Bianjing. However, both in the original work and now, he would be in trouble. Perhaps Zhao Ji intended to promote him back then, but when he was serving as a supervisor at the border, he
Liu Zhongwu, a veteran of the Western Army, deliberately favored him and accumulated military exploits. However, he had never experienced the danger and cruelty of uniting an army in combat. Gao Qiu, the leader of martial arts, really took war too lightly.
Although it was a blessing for our own troops to encounter such an enemy commander on the battlefield, the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty allowed such a man to rise to prominence and corrupt the military and political affairs, which later led to the unscrupulous invasion of the Jin army. However, it was the country's fault
Disaster... Xiao Tang thought in his mind, and when he was about to order the front formations to prepare to meet the enemy, he saw that the formations on the other side of Gao Qiu's formation were mobilizing and had already started to move.
When Xiao Tang took a closer look and roughly noticed what was going on over there, he couldn't help but frown and snorted: "That old thief Gao Qiu, what kind of trick are you planning to play?"
