Under the moonlight, three hundred cavalrymen hid among the reeds of a wild river and waited quietly.
The horse has a bit of a title, and the people are silent.
There were more than 300 people, all wearing long hair, cooked bronze masks, and long armor with heart-protecting bronze mirrors on their chests and backs. They were equipped with various weapons and had cold and stern expressions. You could tell at a glance that they were elites.
Gaotang Prefecture is called a prefecture, but it is actually a scattered prefecture under the jurisdiction of Bo Prefecture. Its status is lower than that of a prefecture but higher than that of a county.
The strength is much stronger than the county.
The governor of Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Lian, was in charge of the army on horseback and the people on horseback. There were also military attaches in the city such as military commanders, governors, commanders, etc. The local garrison numbered about 2,000 people.
This is because it is Hebei East Road, and each city has garrison troops numbering more than a thousand people.
If in the south, a Xiang army with a hundred people in a scattered state would be good.
The three hundred men in front of them were a personal army built by Gao Lian, which cost a lot of money. Without Gao Qiu's support, it would have been impossible to build such an army.
The three hundred people are all green forest heroes recruited from Jingdong, Hebei, and Lianghuai.
All of them are extremely skilled and are top-notch masters.
Gao Lian is Gao Qiu's uncle and brother, Gao Qiu's qualifications are in the military, of course he hopes that Gao Lian can achieve military merit.
After spending some time in Gaotang Prefecture, he was transferred to Yongxing Army, Qinfeng Road and other places. The offensive against Xixia there was extremely smooth. Gao Lian had 300 close troops at his base, so it was easy to lead the troops and make meritorious deeds.
After a few years, I am afraid that I will be able to reach the high position of Jiedushi and be transferred to the central court to help Gao Qiu.
This was also the reason why Gao Lian, a small magistrate, dared to attack Chai Jin.
One is the confidant of the brother of the current Taiwei, and he is very powerful.
One is a run-down royal family who just used money to buy some reputation in the green forest. They only have a false reputation but no strength.
Gao Lian wants money to support his troops, but when he sets his sights on Chai Jin, Chai Jin is doomed.
The power of the two is not comparable at all.
The gap is huge.
At this moment.
Knowingly knowing that tens of thousands of troops from Liangshan were attacking the states in Hebei.
Gaotangzhou bore the brunt.
Gao Lian, who has a brave personality, has no intention of evading. 07
In the original time and space, Lin Chong and others led thousands of people as vanguards, but were defeated by Gao Lian.
After Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others led the main force to arrive, but were repelled by Gao Lian.
Finally, Gongsun Sheng and others led reinforcements and defeated Gao Lian.
Song Jiang's troops were led by heroes, big and small. Sometimes they set up some formations, and sometimes they relied on generals to challenge each other. They would swarm forward in good times and disperse in adversity.
Therefore, when looking at the Water Margin battles, they either relied on conspiracy or the bravery of generals. There are almost no records of defeating the enemy in formation battles.
At this time, the Liangshan Army, not to mention Song Jiang's fellow, was far from being a serious officer and soldier in marching and stopping.
In front of him, Gao Lian looked surprised, confused, and angry.
How come a group of thieves and bandits look more like officers and soldiers than officers and soldiers?
Here on Hebei Road, Liangshan has never used troops.
To rescue Chai Jin last year, the Military Intelligence Department mobilized dozens of people, rushed into the state prison with lightning speed, rescued the person and left.
Gao Lian was not given a chance to do anything.
Therefore, after hearing that Liangshan's army had entered Hebei, Gao Lian sent people to Daming Mansion and reported it to the transfer envoy of the Hebei capital. Liang Shijie, who was left behind in Daming Mansion, and Liang Taishu knew about it.
And Liang Zhongshu mobilized soldiers and horses from various states to assist Gaotang Prefecture.
Defending the enemy outside Gaotang City.
Gao Lian is still confident that he can hold on for a while.
Even... you can see if there are any flaws in this so-called army of tens of thousands.
If the sneak attack is successful, the past incident of Gan Ning's 800 cavalry breaking Cao Cao's company camp may not happen again to Gao.
If he can defeat the Liangshan Army...
Gao Qiu will gain a lot of face in the court, and Gao Lian will be able to rise to the top and be promoted immediately.
But taking advantage of the darkness, he led three hundred elites to lurk outside the Liangshan Army for a long time.
Gao Lian was unable to find any flaws or opportunities.
Not only is there no chance.
There are more and more scouts on the periphery.
If you stay any longer, you are always at risk of exposure.
The fortress on the opposite side is heavily fortified and connected with many battles. There are arrow towers and watchtowers that can't be seen at a glance.
Trenches, connected by wooden fences.
Ditches were dug between each camp.
From time to time, armored soldiers marched by with guns in hand.
Each camp was illuminated by bonfires and torches, and with the moonlight in the sky, it was almost like daytime.
Gao Lian's three hundred elites were all constantly hungry. In this era, most ordinary people suffered from night blindness due to malnutrition.
Gao Lian also wanted to bet that most of Liang Shan's army had night blindness.
Three hundred men broke into the camp and killed one by surprise.
It may be fruitful.
Even causing the enemy camp to collapse.
After several rounds around Liangshan Army, Gao Lian had to admit that he had thought too much.
"Damn it, Liang Shanjun is a bandit?"
"When I said that Shi Jiedu was defeated before, I thought it was the work of Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Lin Chong and others. But now it seems... they are all strong."
"I also heard the names of these people when I was in Green Forest. These soldiers and horses plus these heroes……"
"If you can't find an opportunity, leave!"
Not far away, the livid-faced Gao Lian listened to the discussion of his men and had to wave his hand. If he delayed any longer and was discovered by the Liangshan Rangers, he might not be able to leave by then.
As Gao Lian waved, More than three hundred people all breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly retreated along the river embankment and the reed swamps.
The armor on their bodies made a slight rattling sound.
As long as they retreated a few miles, there was a forest over there hiding horses.
There were also horses hidden along the way. A place to change horses.
After trekking nearly four hundred miles and sneaking a surprise attack on the enemy camp far away, Gao Lian still had ideas and execution ability.
In his opinion, when the enemy troops first arrived, they were still far away and their vigilance was very low.
If they were to approach Gao Lian , If he carried out a sneak attack in Tangzhou, the success rate would drop sharply.
The idea was correct.
But he never imagined that the Liangshan Army's security was so tight.
There was no chance even within a few miles of the perimeter. exposure risk
"Hurry up, there are scouts over there."
"Damn it, Liangshan Army’s reconnaissance riders don’t need to sleep?"
"Now there are more than two!"
"There's one on the opposite side too, be careful and stay low!"
"Fortunately, let's go. It seems that although they patrol, they are not too careful."
"But no, when we get closer, we are exposed"
"No, he seems to be taking out something?"
"It's over, it's over!"
……
The reconnaissance cavalry seen by Gao Lian and his men was Yue Fei's.
Before and after dusk, many things were done in an orderly manner, including washing the horses, eating, and soaking feet.
Before the watch, there was already a sound of snoring in the big tent.
Of course, there are also people on duty, including the scouts.
Yue Fei took the opportunity to sleep for two hours. He had already received the order. At the end of the second watch, which was eleven o'clock, he got up and led the entire reconnaissance cavalry under his command to expand the scope of reconnaissance.
This order was because during the day, the reconnaissance cavalry occasionally discovered it, but it was not certain whether there were enemies approaching and hiding. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Therefore, we need to expand the scope of reconnaissance and search in the middle of the night.
Although Wu Er's military leader is not the best, he has been fighting for a long time, and he still understands the most basic things.
Even if Wu Er doesn't understand, Master Wang Lun is touring the capitals today to command, and Zhu Wu, who was promoted to the General Staff Department, is also going to the capital to command. I believe he will give some advice.
Yue Fei readily accepted this order.
He was originally a young man of less than sixteen years old. He was full of energy and was not afraid of hardship. His physique and martial arts were close to the peak of a first-class military commander. Therefore, even though he slept for less than two hours, he was still full of energy when he got up and did not feel tired at all.
Each commander has more than ten scouts, and together there are over a hundred scouts.
When Yue Fei arrived at the village where the capital command post was located, the rest of the scouts also arrived one after another.
All scouts wear hoods and leather armor. They don't wear capes, battle skirts, arm guards or shin guards.
He was wearing leather armor to protect his chest and abdomen.
Each person has a lance, a saber, or a round shield with a ring-shaped sword. A shield is hung on one side of the horse's belly, and a riding crossbow is basically hung on the other side.
Similar to the Divine Arm Bow, shorter and more powerful.
It can't fire continuously. With today's weapons, crossbows that can fire continuously are not reliable, and their range is short, which is actually not good.
It's just an arrow. Even though it's a mounted crossbow, it can break through light armor within fifty steps and heavy armor at close range.
Even if the enemy is within a hundred steps without armor, it is still lethal. that's enough[]
It really comes down to the point where the cavalry formations are clashing with each other. A man holds a crossbow and fires it at close range.
Then he put away his crossbow and charged into battle with his gun.
After breaking the formation, reload the arrow and fire again.
If the war is urgent, you can just abandon the crossbow.
The Liangshan family has a great cause and will not ask the cavalry to sacrifice their lives for a crossbow.
The lives of the cavalry are far more valuable than a crossbow.
The more than 100 cavalrymen in front of them are all capable soldiers who have been in the army for at least two years.
Not everyone can be a scout.
Good riding skills are the basics, shooting skills and martial arts are both top choices.
You need to have good eyesight, you need to be alert, and your memory needs to be much better than ordinary people.
Otherwise, if a scout cavalry can't remember the road or read a map, how can he still be a scout?
These are elite veterans selected from the cavalry.
After serving as a scout for a period of time, you can be upgraded to a cavalry commander.
If you switch to infantry, you can directly take over.
Imagine being able to gallop on a horse day and night, being able to fight with the enemy's elite without falling behind, or being able to win with confidence.
Able to engage superior enemies single-handedly.
It can sneak into enemy territory for hundreds of miles without leaving a trace.
Able to understand maps, able to travel day and night, and not dismount for days and nights.
Only these elite cavalry are qualified to become scout cavalry of various ministries.
The cavalry are under command and are being trained and selected continuously.
There are some people who are particularly talented, and they are promoted from the chief of reconnaissance cavalry to the commander of the camp, and then to the head of the reconnaissance cavalry.
The maximum number of reconnaissance cavalry is only Yidu. In an ordinary cavalry team, it is enough to serve as a commander.
……
Wu Er is the general manager of ten thousand households, and he commands both of his subordinates.
The commander of the capital where he is now is Ikuhoji.
When Ikubo was still carrying the flag, Takeji was by his side, always helping to protect the flag.
The other commander-in-chief was Du Xing, a grimace who was somewhat inferior in martial arts but was shrewd and cautious. Li Ying, the commander-in-chief, also wanted to be part of Wu Er's team.
If both of them are good at directing, that would really make people feel uneasy.
When Yue Fei came to take orders, Du Xing, Yu Baosigang and Wu Erjun had finished their discussion, and the three of them stood in front of the door and saluted each other to say goodbye.
All three of them saw Yue Fei. Yu Baosi patted Yue Fei on the shoulder and strode away. Du Xing's appearance was indeed a bit scary, but Yue Fei also felt the goodwill and love of his immediate superior, the commander of Benz.
Wu Er directly took the military order token and handed it to Yue Fei.
Asking Yue Fei to lead the reconnaissance cavalry on a mission was of course a deliberate cultivation mission.
Wu Er didn't think about others either.
In Wu Er's eyes, this young man was also exceptionally outstanding and outstanding.
It deserves careful cultivation.
Although Wu Er was not outstanding in leading troops, he recognized that the young man in front of him was a rare talent.
"If there is an enemy, there is no need to act rashly. Our army can win by fighting openly and openly. There is no need to take risks, let alone compete with the enemy for a while."617
Yue Fei accepted the order with a salute, his brows still as calm as ever.
After more than a hundred scouts left under the leadership of Yue Fei, Wu Er also looked satisfied.
"This boy is not bad, he is vigorous and resolute, but also stable. Besides being stable, he is also agile. His martial arts skills are also extremely outstanding for his age. No wonder the master likes him, and he will also be a general in the future."
Hearing Du Xing's praise, Wu Er grinned and said with a smile:"For such a good young man to be given to me by the master, it shows how much the master values me, Wu Er."
"That is, if there is such a son under the command of Wanhu, he will not be afraid of insufficient military achievements in a few years."
"I don't care about military achievements. I won't suffer any loss by following the big boss. My brother is married now and will have a nephew sooner or later. Someone will inherit the incense of the Wu family. I don't want to marry and have children. No matter how rich I am, it is useless to me... I just like to follow the boss to do justice for heaven, drink and play with the brothers, and compete in martial arts. If I can do this in this life, I will be satisfied."
Wu Er said casually, not deliberately.
But Du Xing knew that this man was speaking sincerely and was not pretending.
More than half of the Liangshan brothers have grown up, and they also want to continue to get high positions, salaries, jobs, fields, and big houses.
Xiang Wu There are not many people who are as pure as Er.
Du Xing and Wu Er are completely different types of people, but it does not affect Du Xing's respect for the big man in front of him.
"May this battle go well."
Duxing pondered for a moment and had to answer this sentence.
"With the big boss and hundreds of thousands of soldiers around, it’s hard to think otherwise!
Wu Er said with a look of disdain:"Hebei Road is transferred to the envoy, Beijing is left behind, and Liang Taishu, the prefect of Daming Prefecture, is sentenced?" I heard that this guy is capable of leading troops. It would be great if I could meet him and the heroes of Hebei this time!"
Liang Zhongshu was able to guard Daming Mansion in Beijing, and he indeed had a few tricks.
Daming Mansion was Beijing in the Northern Song Dynasty, a strategic location, directly facing the Liao Kingdom and Khitan. Once there was a war between Song and Liao Dynasty, Daming Mansion was the headquarters of the states, armies, and villages of Hebei. The core.
Therefore, there are many troops stationed in Daming Mansion, and many of them are elite. The combat effectiveness of the Hebei Forbidden Army is very unbearable. At least during the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the three major Forbidden Army groups in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Army, Hebei, and Jingying were comparable. Only the Western Army fought. Ninety percent of the later generals and middle-level generals in the Southern Song Dynasty were from the Western Army.
The only one who was born in Hebei was Yue Fei. He was not from the Hebei Forbidden Army, but from the Hebei Volunteers, but he later served in the Hebei Forbidden Army. This was also the reason why Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty later liquidated
Yue Fei. Many civil servants expressed grievances for Yue Fei, but among the generals, only Han Shizhong spoke up, and most of the other military leaders were silent. The
Western Army and the Hebei Army were originally two systems that were incompatible with each other. For many years, Yue Fei was not from the Western Army, which was also his major shortcoming. If he was from a Western Army family, Zhao Gou would not be able to move easily.
