Chapter 669
The sky gradually became brighter, and the rain and mist were everywhere on both sides of the Haoya River and in the valley, and it was difficult to distinguish dozens of steps away from the opposite side. Although the rain was a little smaller than when it was last night, it was still drizzling. It was already the year of autumn, and the autumn rain was like oil, making the mountain roads on both sides of the Haoya River slippery to the extreme.
Gao Yongnian took one thousand five hundred horses and walked step by step in the mountain road. Everyone was soaked all over, but they were still moving forward in the rain. Gao Yongnian walked in front of the team, his steps were steady, and he just looked around vigilantly.
It is now the sixth day of the seventh month. Gao Yongnian set out from the Song army camp near the ancient bone dragon city three days ago. He left 500 cavalry to ambush that night, and the remaining 1,500 cavalry followed Gao Yongnian westward and approached Renduoquan City.
Of course, their target is not Renduoquan City, the nest of Renduoyimen. It is impossible for 1,500 light cavalry to capture this city no matter what. Gao Yongnian's goal is the Wen family tribe with 10,000 or 20,000 people starting from the Ancient Bone Dragon City seven days ago.
A tribe with 10,000 or 20,000 people is not big or small in the Hehuang area. If this is counted as "account", it will be about two or three thousand. According to the calculation of one occupancy and one soldier, it is the limit to be able to take out 3,000 people.
However, the Wen tribe in the ancient bone dragon city certainly does not have 3,000 troops to fight now, because they also sent people to join Doroba's army and consumed them on the battlefields such as Bajin City, Wachu City, Longzhu Hei City, Lumapo, Gongzangling.
In addition, in order to protect Renduo Baozhong's army, the Wen family also tried hard to send light cavalry to set up defenses west of the Haoya River, but most of them were cut off by Gao Qiu's knights to change houses...
After these two reductions, there were only less than 1,000 heroes of the Wen clan tribe in the Gugu Long City, which was not worth mentioning at all.
Although the clan leader Wen Awu summoned the old and young men in the clan and still gathered 3,000 soldiers. However, he did not have any extra equipment and horses to arm the newly recruited soldiers. After all, the Wen tribe in the Gubone Dragon City was not rich, and Renduo Baozhong took away most of the useful horses and war horses of the Wen family in order to have more horses in his army. Now the newly recruited soldiers of the Wen family only have soft bows and inferior sword spears, and their martial arts and physical strength are not good, and their combat power is almost zero!
Fortunately, Renduo's army did not abandon the Wen tribe and threw them into the ancient bone dragon city to fend for themselves, but instead asked them to leave the ancient bone dragon city first and head to Renduoquan City.
Although his tribe would not have any good ending after he arrived in Renduoquan City, and might become a slave to Renduo family, Wen Awu didn't care. He, the patriarch, had long been destitute and was a little annoyed by the hopeless tribe.
As long as Renduo Baozhong can arrange for him to have an official position in Dabai Gaoguo and let him live in a prosperous city, he petitioned to hand over his ten thousand people...
However, it is not so easy to achieve this ideal, because the 300-mile mountain road from the ancient bone dragon city to Renduoquan City is not easy to walk. Moreover, the Wen tribe not only brings family members, but also brings many jars and jars, as well as food for survival. No matter how the patriarch urges him, he can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day. After seven days, he only walks one hundred, seven or fifty miles. At least seven days before he can reach Renduoquan City.
I don’t know how the ancient bone dragon city is going?
Wen Awu, who was riding slowly on a small horse, thought of the situation in his mind at this time. I don’t know if Renduo Baozhong’s army fought with the Song army? If it starts, I don’t know who wins and who loses?
"Captain! There is a team of people across the river!"
I don’t know who suddenly shouted, interrupting Wen Awu’s thoughts. He quickly turned his head and looked at the other side of the Haotu River, but saw nothing.
Where is it?
"Back! Behind..."
Wen Awu quickly looked back and found that there were indeed many people walking in the misty rain and fog. Who are they? Are they warriors from the Great White Kingdom?
"Abao," Wen Awu shouted, "Take a few people to find a shallow to cross the river and take a look."
"OK!"
The leader named Abao responded and immediately took a few knights from the Wen family, got on the horse, ran along the beach of the Haoya River for a while, then found a shallow, and then wade across the river to the east bank.
These knights of the Wen family were also confused. They didn't expect that the cavalry of the Song people would come, but they were swaying and swaying. Two of them were killed by a group of ferocious Song cavalry. The other three, including Wen Abao, were captured alive, and they were carried to Gao Yongnian like a chicken.
"Ask him how he crossed the river?"
Gao Yongnian had already discovered the brides of the Haoya River winding forward. However, he could not find the shallows that could cross the river for a while. After all, it rained heavily last night, and the water level of the river was very good! Moreover, the Song army was not familiar with the terrain of the Haoya River area and did not know where there were shallows that could be crossed. He was about to send someone to search, but Wen Abao came to his door by himself.
"Xiaodi takes the master across the river, don't kill Xiaodi..."
Abao had been scared to death for a long time. When he was taken to Gao Yongnian, he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Okay!" Gao Yongnian smiled and said in Tubo's words, "As long as you are willing to lead the way, I will guarantee you to be the chief of the Wen tribe!"
Gao Yongnian was not fooling others, but after this battle, it is hard to say whether there is still Wen's tribe in the Ancient Bone Dragon City.
Because this time he is here to lead troops to kill Liang.
If you don’t kill Liang or surrender, how can you drive the Wen family’s subordinates to block Renduo Baozhong’s life?
...
"Clan leader, patriarch! The enemy attacks! Song Gou is here..."
A warrior from the Wen tribe panted and grabbed the reins of Wen Awu's mount. He opened his mouth wide and pointed at a shallow in front. Wen Awu's mind suddenly became blank when he heard the "enemy attack" and "Song Gou".
Why did the Song army come? It must be a mistake? Where did they come from? Is Renduo Baozhong wiped out by the Song people? This is too fast?
The screams, the sound of killing, the noise of horse hooves stepping across the river, and the crying of old and weak Wen tribes suddenly rang out.
The group of Song troops rushed over from the shallows in front of them, and they didn't know what grudges they had with the Wen family's tribes. They came up and chopped and killed them, regardless of whether they were soldiers or women or children.
"Hurry, hurry up, go and ask for surrender!" Wen Awu dared not have the idea of resisting, so he quickly ordered his confidants to surrender.
The Hehuang Fan tribes never shamed themselves for surrender. They were already trapped between Song and Xia, and both sides could not be provoked. The Song Dynasty was relatively easy to fool compared to the Western Xia. Even if they followed the Western Xia invaded the Han territory, killed many Han farmers and plundered many Han women, as long as they requested to submit, they could still get the official titles and rewards from the Song Dynasty.
So after Wen Awu reacted, he was not too panicked, and he did not expect that the end of his tribe had arrived.
The confidant who was sent to surrender quickly came back and brought in incredible news.
The Song people disagreed with the surrender of the Wen tribe! They said that those who offended me, who would be punished even if they were far away! They would be punished and would not surrender!
How is this possible!?
Wen Awu was cold all over and looked around. His tribe had been defeated by the other party. He helped the elderly and the young, and cried and ran away. He couldn't care about the supplies, vehicles, luggage, and precious food. He was thrown away everywhere, and it was a mess!
"Class leader, run away!" Several Wen Awu's confidants finally did not forget their stupid patriarch, and pulled Wen Awu's horse and ran eastward...
...
Renduo Baozhong's face was as gloomy as the weather is now.
The pursuers of the Song Dynasty were behind them! Thousands of iron-armored infantry, thousands of knights using horses, and unknown light cavalry followed them all the way. They also launched harassing attacks from time to time! The thousands of Xixia infantry behind the palace were a little tired of dealing with it.
In front of the army, small groups of Song cavalry kept setting up ambush and harassing. Although they did not cause too much casualties, they also made it a bit difficult for the infantry of the front army to deal with.
But this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the harassment from both front and back directions made Rendo Baozhong's army slowly move on the mountain roads on both sides of the Haoya River! After walking for three days, it took about 100 miles and 10 miles. If you keep walking at this speed, the army will probably not be able to reach Rendo Spring City even if it is out of food!
His two confidants, Renduoan Zhong and Renduoer, have come to persuade him more than once, either to fight with the Song people or to simply find the Lord of Qing Tang...
However, Renduo Baozhong has not let go until now, but just ordered the army to move forward slowly.
...
Gao Qiu's face was as ugly as Renduo Baozhong. Because Tong Guan's pickled product once again refused to start a decisive battle, saying that the time had not come... The Western thief seemed to have not been exhausted yet!
Does this castrated man think that his warriors and knights really have endless strength? They are not iron-clad men. They have fought for two thousand miles these days, and they all look like they have lost weight. They have long been tired. The reason why they have not collapsed is that they are not the strong man selected from the 500,000 imperial guards. In the future, special forces are the houses of Kaifeng Prefecture to support them.
But no matter how strong a man is, he can't help but consume like this!
Just when Gao Qiu was trying to go to Tong Guan to ask for a fight again, the sound of horse hooves sounded. He turned around and saw that the Grand Superintendent of Tong, wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, had arrived!
"Shi Yan," Tong Guan shouted: "Let me rest, brothers."
"Rest?" Gao Qiu looked at the sky, "It's still early!"
