On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Jeju, Shandong, in front of Dulonggang.

With the sound of gold, Liang Shanbo's soldiers and horses withdrew from the range of Zhujiazhuang again, but compared to the troops when they were killed just now, the number of people has decreased a lot, and some of them are injured, and their faces are full of resentment, especially Li Kui, who was splashed with a lot of blood on his body, roared angrily: "Sooner or later, one day I will kill all of you!" Shocked by the panic on the face of Zhujiazhuang Ding behind him, he could only keep releasing arrows to vent the anger in his heart.

This is the twelfth day of Liangshanbo's attack on three Zhuangzi on Dulonggang, since the Chinese New Year's Eve sent troops to attack Dulonggang, several sides have fought many battles, each with damage, if you look at casualties, or the main attack of Liangshanbo is the most serious, no less than 300 people have died here.

It's not that the people of Zhujiazhuang are brave and good at fighting, and they can defeat the Liangshan bandits again and again, but the terrain inside and outside their Zhuangzi is too complicated, not only the roads are changeable, but also many deadly traps are laid.

In addition, the Zhujiazhuang people led by Zhu Biao and Luan Tingyu are also brave, after surviving the initial surprise, they actually guarded the entire manor steadily, although their available manpower is only two or three hundred, but they have to rely on the geographical advantage to defend their homeland, and it has been more than ten days now.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the other two Zhuangzi who are also on Dulonggang, Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang, often send troops to help. In this Dulonggang, the three villages are distributed in the shape of a character, one village is attacked, and often can get the Olympic aid from the side of the two villages, so that the people of Liangshan can not devote all their troops and horses to attack Zhujiazhuang, and also divide hundreds of people to resist and contain the reinforcements of the two villages, which allows Zhujiazhuang to support until this time.

When he saw the brothers return again, Song Jiang's already dark face darkened a little more. But soon, he showed an eager smile again: "The brothers have worked hard, the hot soup is ready, let's rest first." ”

"Brother, why did Mingjin withdraw his troops at this time, I was about to kill in front of the gate of Zhujiazhuang, as long as I broke through the broken door, I could kill in and avenge the dead brother." Li Kui asked loudly with some dissatisfaction at this time.

"Tie Niu must not be presumptuous, my brother naturally has his reasons for arranging it this way." Dai Zong hurriedly scolded on the side, this is in the army, different from the past, if he really wants to investigate, he will have to suffer.

Song Jiang didn't care about these things with this unscrupulous person, his eyes swept over the brothers who were also puzzled, and he sighed and explained: "It's getting late today, and I'm afraid it will be even more disadvantageous for us to continue fighting." Don't look at the fact that you have already killed in front of the main gate of Zhujiazhuang, but I believe that they will definitely be able to defend one more battle, and the casualties will be even greater. ”

"But brother, we finally got through those traps today, and we may not have such good luck when we fight again tomorrow." Huang Xin, who was once an officer and army general and had deep experience in commanding operations, frowned and expressed his concerns.

These words were also agreed by the other brothers, and almost all of them looked at Song Jiang. For the people of Liangshan and others, the biggest difficulty in breaking Zhujiazhuang is the ecstasy array of more than ten miles outside the village, as long as one is not careful, it will be completely lost, and it will cost a lot to come up with it. Today, they carefully slaughtered the past, and finally got lucky enough to break out of the road, and before they reached the gate of the manor, they should attack with all their might.

Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied with Song Jiang, Hua Rong, who was his hardcore, hurriedly said: "Brothers, my brother naturally has his considerations for doing this. If we really attack Zhujiazhuang, I'm afraid that the other two villages that have not moved before will have to fight hard. At that time, our situation will only become more and more difficult, and it will not be easy to break through Zhujiazhuang. ”

Although they dare not fight easily because of the lack of strength of their two families, once they wait until Zhujiazhuang is in danger, these two families may also fight hard, which is one of the reasons why Song Jiang retreated at this moment, and the other is that he is worried that the casualties of his brothers under the strong attack will be too large, and it is not easy to explain when he returns to the mountain.

You must know that this is the second time that he Song Jiang has led the army to go out since entering Liangshan, and the previous time he returned in Erlongshan without success has made his face gloomy, this time if he fights Dulonggang Sanzhuang or the damage is huge, then his prestige in the cottage will inevitably plummet, which is not the result he wants to see.

"What should I do in my brother's opinion?" Qin Ming, who was the most anxious, followed and asked.

Under the gaze of the brothers, Song Jiang finally said the strategy he had set: "After attacking and defending in the past few days, I have seen that this Dulonggang is indeed not easy to fight. The difficulty for them is that they can rescue each other, so we can't go all out. In this case, why don't we think about dividing the three villages and cleaning them up one by one. For example, in the Li family village over there, their owner Li Ying is said to have had a disagreement with the Zhu family, and we can persuade him to vote for Liangshan, or not help each other, so that we don't have to worry about the threat on the left side. As for Hujiazhuang, although there is a relationship between the two villages, as long as Lijiazhuang has not sent troops, they will not dare to fight alone, and then we will be able to attack Zhujiazhuang with all our might. ”

After more than ten days of unsuccessful hard fighting, Song Jiang has re-examined his thinking, no longer blindly attacking, and intends to use a strategy.

"Will the people of Lijiazhuang agree?"

"Just try it. Dai Zong, this matter will be handled by you, you will go to Lijiazhuang to meet Li Ying tonight, and you must persuade him, at least let him keep the village. Also, it is best to ask from his mouth where the mystery of the ecstasy array in Zhujiazhuang is, as long as you can figure out the truth of those roads, it will only be a matter of time to break Zhujiazhuang. Song Jiang said with a serious expression.

Dai Zong did not shirk, and immediately responded with a fist: "Little brother must go all out." ”

Seeing that Song Jiang had made a decision, the leaders no longer questioned it, and withdrew from the account one after another, and went to rest, only a few people such as Dai Zong and Hua Rong remained. When there were only a few of them left, Hua Rong said with some concern: "Brother, although this strategy is useful, it may have to be delayed for some time. The younger brother is only worried that there will be officials and soldiers coming to the rescue of Zhujiazhuang when the time comes......"

Huang Xin also echoed: "I also think the same, brother, the longer the time drags on, the more bad it will be for us." Even if the officers and soldiers of Jeju Prefecture suffered a big loss before and did not dare to come again, the officers and troops of other nearby state capitals may also ......"

"This is not a problem, now that the state capitals in Shandong are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they send troops to save a small Zhujiazhuang? The only thing to worry about may be the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Road, but they are hundreds of miles away, and the mountains have recently been covered by heavy snow, even if they really receive a distress letter and rush over, it will take half a month. Song Jiang looked confident.

Recently, he has been observing the situation of the nearby roads, although the wind and snow stopped early, but the road congestion has not eased, at least the carriages and horses are not able to pass freely, as for walking, over the mountains and mountains without ten days and a half months can not come at all, by that time this Zhujiazhuang has already been broken by their own home.

Speaking of which, the brothers no longer had any doubts, and all expressed their willingness to obey Song Jiang's orders and wait for two more days.

On the high wall of Zhujiazhuang in front, the three brothers of Zhujia Longhu Biao and a big man with a yellow face were observing the movement of Liangshan camp from a distance, and their faces were all with some doubts on their faces at this time.

"This time they have all been killed in front of the gate of my manor, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops again? I haven't seen anything change, even Hu Li Liangzhuang has not seen reinforcements come out......"

"They must have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise they wouldn't have withdrawn so easily."

"Two brothers, Teacher Luan, in my opinion, we don't have to think too much, and directly sending people to attack the camp of the Liangshan bandits at night is the best countermeasure." Zhu Biao looked eager to try: "How many people in our village have been injured by them these days, I really can't swallow this breath." ”

"Nonsense, now that I wish Jiazhuang is in crisis, how can I take such a risk again!" As the eldest brother, Zhu Long immediately scolded: "No matter how high your martial arts are, can you still defeat a thousand enemies?" ”

"But ......"

"Third brother, don't mention this again. And what you talked about asking for help from the Qingzhou Army before, don't say that our people can't kill at all at this time, but they can really get out, do you think that Sun Dujian, who has only one side of the relationship with you, is really willing to send troops to rescue? At this time, Huli Liangzhuang, who has always been dependent on us, is more just self-preservation, how can we expect the officers and troops hundreds of miles away? "Zhu Long is extremely stable, and it is impossible to have expectations for some illusory things.

Hearing him mention the performance of the other two villages, Luan Tingyu also frowned deeply: "Our three villages originally agreed to advance and retreat together, but now Liangshan can contain the troops of the two villages with only a hundred people, which is really chilling." In the long run, our situation will only get worse. Third son, do you think you should take the initiative to ask Hujiazhuang for help, after all, their third mother still has a marriage contract with you. ”

The arrogant Zhu Biao really didn't want to ask for help with this matter, but he didn't know how to refuse for a while. Just when he was entangled at this moment, Zhu Hu, who had never spoken, suddenly said urgently: "Look over there, how did they send people to the direction of Lijiazhuang......

Hearing this, the few people at the head of the wall immediately looked in the direction of Lijiazhuang on the side, and sure enough, they saw that there was a firelight rushing towards Lijiazhuang quickly, looking at the number and time of the day, it was obvious that they did not want to attack Lijiazhuang.

"It's not good, are the people of Liangshanbo going to negotiate peace with Li Jiazhuang?" In an instant, the hearts of several people present sank, and an extremely bad answer had risen from their hearts......
