Chapter 150 The Two-legged Beast

On the first day of June, Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi each led 3000 troops, a total of [-] Shunjun troops, to Xinji Town at the crossing of the Yellow River east of Shangqiu.

Liu Heizi has prepared hundreds of boats and countless rafts here.The soldiers of Gao and Liu gathered on the bank of the Yellow River and were fighting to cross the river with thousands of sails.

On the bank, Mrs. Deng was wearing a white embroidered cloak, and said goodbye to Liu Heizi, "Be careful on the road, my wife is waiting for you when you come back."

"My lady, it's very windy here, you should go back first." Liu Heizi took three steps and turned his head, "Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely kill a few more Tartars to avenge Master Taishan!"

Gao Yihuan also stopped and turned around, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I will take good care of Brother Liu and bring him back safely."

Deng shi gave a little blessing, "I thank General Gao!"

"You're welcome, this is what I should do~" Before Gao Yihuan finished speaking, Liu Heizi pulled him back, "Lady, what are you thanking him for, go back soon~"

After saluting, Mrs. Deng got into a carriage with the help of her maid.

Liu Heizi saw the carriage going away, turned around, saw Gao Yihuan still standing behind him, couldn't help gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Gao, what are you looking at~"

Gao Yihuan stayed behind Gao Xinghao and led a group of soldiers to stay on the bank of the Yellow River. Together with Liu Heizi's general Liu Zhenwu, he was responsible for guarding the boats and rafts, and escorted the army to cross the river. Go to Nanwang Lake.

There is only a Yellow River between Guide Mansion and Shandong. After Gao Yihuan crossed the Yellow River, he entered the boundary of Caozhou in Shandong.

Because the Tartar soldiers were at Nanwang Lake in the east of Caozhou, Tartar cavalry often plundered the territory of Caozhou.The Tartars garrisoned troops in Shandong, relying on looting for their supplies. Now half a year has passed, and Shandong has long been dilapidated.

After Gao Yihuan entered Caozhou, the places he passed were barren. The people were either taken away by the Tartars, hid in cities, or starved to death in deserted villages.

Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi were riding on horseback. The official road was covered with foot-high weeds because no one was walking on it. The fields beside the road were also barren, and all the villages they saw were burned down.

The coast of the Grand Canal should have been the most prosperous area in Shandong, but the soldiers walked all the way, as if they had entered an uninhabited area, the surroundings were silent, only the non-stop chirping of insects and birds in the woods, and occasionally accompanied by the sound of a wolf. howl.

Gao Yihuan rode on the black steed, looked around, and saw the dilapidated village, the exposed bones, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Liu Heizi and Jin Shenghuan who were beside him also frowned. Unexpectedly, when the Tartars came, Caozhou would become like this appearance.

"General, we've arrived in Chengwu County!" At this moment, a scout galloped against the team to Gao Yihuan, clasping his fists to report.

Jin Shenghuan approached Gao Yihuan on horseback, "General, after Chengwu is Juye, it's very close to Nanwang Lake, we can't leave during the day."

Gao Yihuan nodded, looked at the scouts and said, "Is there any suitable place for the army to camp nearby?"

"General Qi, five miles past Chengwu County, there is a forest, suitable for camping!"

Gao Yihuan turned to look at Liu Heizi, "Brother Liu, how about we go camping there?"

"It's all up to you!" Liu Heizi nodded nervously as he rode on the horse.

A good Caozhou Mansion has turned into this appearance. The destructive power of the Tartars is stronger than their rogues, which makes Liu Heizi feel a little nervous.

In Chengwu County, thousands of people hid in the city. Most of the houses in the city were demolished. Trees and stones were used to defend the city. The open space was planted with wheat, beans and vegetables. struggle.

On the city wall, several young and strong men were standing on the wall to inspect, and suddenly one of them pointed to the distance and exclaimed, "Look, it's the official army!"

A head catcher hurriedly went to the wall to have a look, and saw thousands of officers and soldiers heading east in the distance.Seven months!Since the Tartars came to Shandong, they have been hiding in the city for seven months, and they dare not farm outside the city, because once they meet the Tartar cavalry, they will not be able to return.

"Look here, I'll notify the county magistrate." With tears in his excited eyes, the head catcher ordered his subordinates, and hurriedly ran down the city wall.

Including crossing the river, Gao and Liu's two troops walked for three days, and then they arrived at a forest five miles east of Chengwu County. Gao Yihuan arranged for scouts to check the surrounding situation, and then let the army enter the forest to rest.

The [-] soldiers were a little tired. After eating some dry food, they took off the rolled blankets on their backs and found a place to rest. Gao Yihuan called Liu Heizi, Jin Shenghuan and others to discuss the sneak attack.

"In less than three days, we traveled nearly 140 miles. When we arrived at Chengwu County, we had already traveled half of the journey. It means that it took six days to return to Guide from Nanwang Lake without any problem." Gao Yihuan unfolded the map, He pointed and said, "The only problem now is how to surprise the Tartars in Nanwang Lake?"

"Nanwang Lake is flat, so it's hard for us to surround the Tartars. If the Tartars report the news and we can't fight them, then there will be a big problem." Liu Heizi is still worried about the old problem, "Besides, the Tartars are all cavalry. They If we get on the horse, we won’t be able to make a surprise attack, and we might be hunted down!”

Gao Yihuan nodded, and everyone was silent in thought. Seeing Jin Shenghuan's thoughtful eyes, Gao Yihuan couldn't help asking, "Tiger Minister, what do you think?"

Gao Yihuan knew that Jin Shenghuan was indeed very powerful and had more combat experience than him, and Gao Yihuan brought him by his side, one was to keep an eye on him, and the other was to listen to his opinions at any time.

"General!" Jin Shenghuan cupped his hands, "I feel that knowing myself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. We only know that there are [-] Tartars in Nanwang Lake, but how they camped and how their forces were distributed is still unclear. We are here The tactics formulated here may not be effective in Nanwang Lake, I thought it would be better to send scouts to have a look, and then formulate the tactics after understanding the specific situation."

Gao Yihuan nodded happily, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Huchen." After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan turned his head and said: "Zhao Zhuzi, you also go together."

Hearing Gao Yihuan's words, Jin Shenghuan couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly led away with Zhao Zhuzi.

Two days later, Jin Shenghuan, Zhao Zhuzi and others came to the vicinity of Nanwang Lake, hid in a forest, and watched the Tartar war horses galloping across the wilderness in the distance.

Zhao Zhuzi turned around, "There is a flat river here, and the Tatars are grazing horses everywhere. We can't get close to the camp of the Tartars. I think we only have a chance at night."

Jin Shenghuan shook his head, "The terrain around the lake is not suitable for hiding. The grass is only about an inch. We walked all the way, not to mention the long distance, and it is easy to leave traces."

As Jin Shenghuan said, he pointed to the reeds by the lake, "Let's find a boat, if we don't have a boat, we can build a raft and go across the lake!"

That night, Jin Shenghuan and Zhao Zhuzi left two brothers to watch the war horses, and they rode a raft to reach around the tartar camp by water.They hid the raft in the reeds, and then touched the fire in the Tartar camp.

When the two arrived outside the camp, they saw a group of captive civilians on the outside, and the camp of the Tartar soldiers in the middle. The two carefully went to observe the surrounding area, but they saw a few guards on duty sitting around a fire on the outside. The Tartar soldiers were laughing and talking loudly.

Following the flickering light from the fire, Zhao Zhuzi looked at the group of Tartars, only to see a few Tartars with their scalps and pigtails behind their heads raping a naked woman in public. The woman was weeping in pain while smiling lewdly, and the more she cried, the more excitedly the Tartars laughed.

"Bastard!" Zhao Zhuzi's eyes were red. When he saw a naked, distorted female corpse beside the fire, he was furious and wanted to rush up.

"Don't be impulsive!" Jin Shenghuan put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head~
