Several horse thieves rushed out of the valley to form a circle, and rushed to the chaotic formation of the front of the melee, although there were archers in the rear to shoot, but the thief army was still galloping at a high speed, and it was bound to rush out from the position where Xiao Tang's headquarters set up a fortress to intercept it.

The reason why Xiao Tang led the new army infantry to set up a position in the mountain pass is precisely because the terrain here is relatively narrow, although it is not like the "first line of sky" such a one-man pass, ten thousand people can not open the terrain, but it can only accommodate more than 100 people to pass one after another, and most of the mountains on both sides are steep and undulating, there are not many places for rock climbing and climbing, if the thief army abandons the horse and evacuates from the mountain, not to mention the loss of the war horse and then want to wander around, the mobility will be lost, compared to the time spent on the mountain and the mountain, It is better to rush out directly from the mouth of the valley at the foot of Jieshan Mountain, where more than 100 horsemen can still charge side by side, and it is faster.

However, seeing that the official and military formations guarding the valley mouth were towering, and the previous breakthrough was ineffective, Dang Shilong was also regarded as relying on snatching horses in the eastern border of the river, and pulling together a large gang of horse thieves to make a name for himself in the green forest, although he did not know the doorway of the unified army, the combat momentum was scattered and the formation was untidy, although it seemed fierce but it was difficult to cooperate with each other, but he was a fierce and accustomed character, and at the moment he was provoked by the words of other strongman leaders, so he staked all his belongings. It is necessary to flatten the gun array of the officers and soldiers in front of him, and he can't let himself teach the jokes of his fellow citizens in the green forest anymore!

And Miao Cheng, Chen Xuan, and Ji Wenbing, the three strongman leaders, saw that the signs were wrong, and they also each beckoned the thieves to climb from the left and right mountains, although it took a lot of time and strength, but at that time, the thieves and soldiers were outflanked from the left and right, or break through the encirclement and escape to the north, and they would not be surrounded by the officers and soldiers in the Jieshan and sit and wait to die.

The terrible neighing of horses and people rose sharply again, and thousands of thieves and horsemen rushed forward, and the fifty or sixty horsemen in the front also crashed straight into the front line of the new army's guns, and the pressure of defense increased sharply, although none of the new army athletes were afraid to retreat because of the fierce fighting, and there were still a large group of comrades in the back who quickly filled the gap in the formation opened by the thieves' horses, but more than 4,000 foot soldiers, more than half of the establishment were archers, and only about 2,000 spearmen, sword and shield men listed the defensive formation to resist the impact of the thief army.

After two or three hundred more people from the thief army and the horse army were stabbed through the body by the spears that came from the formation, fifty or sixty horsemen finally fought their way out of the new army and rushed straight to Xiao Tang's position!

But a thief rode out of the way, when a sudden rumor broke out from beside him, and an iron shovel swept over his head!

"Click!" With a crisp sound, the little leader's eyes bulged out, and the heavenly spirit had been shattered. Niu Gao picked up his double shackles, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and then rode the black-maned horse like a fly, and rushed straight towards the rest of the horse thieves who broke through!

A horse thief wielding a saber had just rushed out of the gun array, when he saw a black and dignified man suddenly riding a horse and came to him in a flash, just as the horse thief was stunned, he saw Niu Gao's strange eyes wide open, iron teeth were urgent, and then the extremely heavy iron shovel smashed on his chest with a thud!

Due to Niu Gao's amazing strength, the iron shovel shattered the horse thief's sternum at once, and deeply sank into his chest, and the divine power of the monster was unabated, and the horse thief's body was smashed alive! The fierce strength caused the body of the horse thief to fly in the air, and five or six more accomplices were knocked over and fell from their horses by him, and they were soon stabbed to death by the officers and soldiers who suddenly killed him!

Niu Gao's old tricks were repeated, at this time, he, a big black man, rode a black war horse like a storm behind the gun array, specifically responsible for picking up leaks and killing the thief riders who broke through, look at his fierce and fierce battle posture, he is really more like a black whirlwind than Li Kui! And where his black whirlwind passed, the thief riders died when they touched it, and they died next to each other, and after a while, the fifty or sixty thief riders who finally broke through were all killed by him and Xiao Tang and his elite soldiers!

And on a breakthrough not far away, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun two archers had a good time, they had already inserted a feather arrow into the ground, and there were more than a dozen quivers and quivers full of arrow clusters around them, Xiao Li Guang and Xiao Yang Yuji stood majestically, sometimes probing the feathers of arrows, pulling up a few arrows to put on the string together, a few arrows, pulling the bowstring into a full moon shape, waiting for the thief to hit the front of the spear array, then release the string to shoot arrows, sacrifice a series of soul-threatening flying arrows, arrow clusters whistling from the top of the head of the new army soldiers, In an instant, dozens of bandits on horseback were shot and fell off their horses!

And Yan Yun under Xiao Tang is also a kind of cavalry, they occupy a high place, just like Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun, everyone has a bow and arrow in hand, and more than a dozen arrows are whistling when they land, and every time the bowstring and arrow roar sound, there will inevitably be thieves falling from the horse! The stubborn battle between the thief army and the official army at the mouth of the valley was shot by Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun, and Yan Yunqi with no false shots, which also made the momentum of the thief army's impact and surprise attack be greatly curbed.

Not only Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun are good at counting arrows in one hand, not only are they dazzling as fast, but also recruit the Lianzhu arrows that are important to the old life, Xiao Tang personally selected the Xiao family to concentrate on eighteen young and strong households of the same sect to form Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry Archery, they were originally trained in the training method of a generation of famous generals of the Liao State such as Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xuan, and later they were led by Hua Rong, who has no match in the world for bows and arrows.

What's more, Yan Yun cavalry archery was originally good at galloping horses and shooting to kill the enemy, and now standing on the pile and killing the enemy with a foot bow, both the accuracy and the rate of fire have been doubled, with more than a dozen of them brave and healthy together, by no means weaker than a hundred Song Army archers who were prepared to shoot arrows together, and the horse thieves who pounced on the valley mouth for a while were even more miserable, and before they crossed the trench, they had fallen from their horses and died!

But at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly flew out of the dense forest with a "whoosh" sound, and a famous Yan Yun cavalry shot a thief who was only aiming at the mouth of the valley and fighting with the new army, he was caught off guard, and was shot through the chest by a cold arrow when he landed. The Yan Yunqi shot his eyes wide with anger, and a trace of red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and finally his body slowly softened, and he rolled and stumbled down the dirt slope with unwillingness!

Pang Wanchun noticed that there was something unusual next to him, and he immediately aimed the bow and arrow of the leader of the thief cavalry towards the side of the mountain, "Whoosh! The sound of the arrow was fired, and when he climbed in the middle of the mountain, a thief archer bent forward, and fell straight down the treacherous cliff!

At this time, Pang Wanchun's eyes froze, he had already found that there seemed to be a lot of people surging in the hidden mountains and dense forests ahead, and it seemed that the infantry army among the thieves was also looking for a hillside that could be crossed, and suddenly killed, intercepting the new army led by Xiao Tang from the flank.

Straight sissy thief! Do you think you don't care about it? Pang Wanchun snorted coldly and scolded secretly in his heart.

Frankly speaking, when Pang Wanchun was still gathering mountains and forests in Baiyun Mountain, Wenzhou, Liangzhejiang Road, he was not a good stubble on the road. Although he was also angry because he did not want to be bullied by the local government officials, but after all, he was a character in the green forest thieves, although Pang Wanchun would never kill the unarmed women and children, old and young, but when he encountered difficult or "ignorant of lifting" past merchants, he also had some blood of martial artists and ordinary people on his hands.

But just as Xiao Tang decided to unite with the Water Margin Heroes to carry out his own plan, he already knew that most of the leaders under his command were not chivalrous heroes. If you are a moral hierarchy of human nature, then among the henchmen and brothers who gather righteousness with themselves, only the flower monk Lu Zhishen, who is warm-hearted and jealous and hateful, can be counted as the only one, because he has seen unevenness on the road, and for the innocent kindness he has never known, he not only helps each other, but even gives up his official body, and there is no stain of indiscriminate killing of innocents in his life.

And his sworn brother Wu Song will inevitably eliminate harm for the people when he encounters wicked people doing evil things, as long as he is full of wine and food and does not covet the other party's heavy reward, but after all, he is also a ruthless person who can't rub sand in his eyes, and he is really able to kill the whole family when he is in a hurry; The nine-tattooed dragon Shi Jin is chivalrous, happy and vengeful, and he is also a good man who can kill traitors alone for the disadvantaged groups in his life, but he is also a little reckless when he is arrogant, saying that he is not a robber to cut the path but he also does it, and when he wanders the rivers and lakes, he also sleeps in the kiln, and after being betrayed, he killed Li Ruilan in Wazixi, Dongping Mansion, and the old and young of the Qian Po... In the final analysis, it is still not as dignified as Lu Zhishen.

Needless to say, the so-called morality of the rivers and lakes in this season is not the same thing as the chivalrous man who serves the country and the people. However, if you study the moral character of the person in detail, Dian Wei, who killed the enemy for his best friend in the late Han Dynasty, killed his wife by the way, Li Tao killed people when he was young in the early Tang Dynasty, and often encountered spring bandits in the late Yuan Dynasty and was easy to kill...... Are they heroes? Is it a celebrity? Is it a hero?

Therefore, what kind of characters in the green forest can gather righteousness, Xiao Tang has always been able to accept occasional small evils, but he is also compassionate, and has never violated the moral bottom line in his heart.

Not only because of his understanding of the original book and the official history, Xiao Tang can also feel that the standards of right and wrong, good and evil of people in the green forest are more likely to be affected by the so-called righteousness of the rivers and lakes than the overall concept and ideology of today's society. Among them, the most obvious examples are: Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Li Li, Zhu Gui and Sun Erniang and his wife in the original book went to worship Chao Gai, who put benevolence and righteousness first, and at least Song Jiang who played the banner of Tianxingdao as his brother, no matter how cruel and despicable they were before, they must at least be restrained from their past evil deeds in Liangshan.

On the other hand, if the people in the green forest tend to take refuge in Tian Hu, who kills people and takes his wife, only for his own selfish desires, and even has the intention of defecting to a foreign race, or Wang Qing, who relies on male sex and room skills to cater to Duan Sanniang's career, is rebellious and unfilial, and gathers evil and young traitors just to get past the emperor's addiction, most of the green forest thieves who don't take killing and arson seriously will have more and more no lower limit. It's just that people in the rivers and lakes worship the boss, although they have to look at the other party's high morality, but it is only limited to the prestige and fame in the green forest. Therefore, people such as Bian Xiang, Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, Shan Shiqi and others can roughly understand what Tian Hu is, but according to the original trajectory, they will still defect to him when they have to.

Xiao Tang has now basically completely disrupted the original belonging and fate of these people in the green forest, and he has not followed the standards of chivalry to get acquainted with the people in the green forest who defected to him, but after gathering righteousness with these characters, their concepts of good and evil and attitude towards the world will gradually change subtly.

And this Pang Wanchun is also a very typical example.
