Zhang Di's thieves went out of Qiu County, Zhouzhou, and went east to En, Gaotang, De and other prefectures to plunder, and they must pass through this Wei City. It was to send Dong Cheng, Zhang Xiang and other thieves to lead the people of Benzhai to guard Weicheng, and sent Ling Guang and Suo Xian to lead the thieves to take Zongcheng County, Xiaojiaji and other places in the Daimyo Mansion, and sent the newly invested Hedong Green Forest to steal Nangong County, Jizhou.
Xiao Tang sent a letter to inform Shi Xiu and other henchmen to lead the township to guard Zongcheng County, Xiaojiaji and other places, so he and his generals Suo Chao, Hua Rong, Zhou Jin and other generals led three battalions of men and horses, with the commander Wang Huan, Dezhou Wei Dingguo, Shan Yanqi under the command of 500 firefighters and 500 Xuanjia Army to recuperate and recuperate, and the three armies went straight to Weicheng.
Dong Cheng and the others stood in front of Weicheng Town, listening to the rumbling sound of the horses galloping closer and closer, "He-Nanhe-Jiedu Envoy Wang Huan", "Daimyo's Mansion Left-behind Division Soldiers and Horses Escort Supervisor Ren Xia Xiao Tang", "Ma Jun Commander Urgent Pioneer Suo Chao" and other banners appeared in front of everyone, Dong Cheng gritted his teeth fiercely, and scolded: "Xiao Tang's guy is still here after all!" ”
Lu Yuan, beside Zhang Xiang, saw Wang Huan's banner and said in horror: "And that 'old merry' Wang Huan is also a luxury figure, the official army headquarters is here, and we are only three or four thousand people, how can we stop it?" ”
"Afraid of birds!? We are going to kill officials and rebel! Dong Cheng said angrily: "The officials and soldiers are just a group of bullies who are afraid of the hard, I'll go to meet Xiao Tang first!" ”
Here, Wang Huan led six battalions of 3,000 soldiers and horses, Xiao Tang led three battalions of the Daimyo Mansion with 1,3400 soldiers, and a thousand soldiers led by Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi just stabilized their formation, and saw a fierce general holding a wind knife and riding a silver curly horse in Weicheng Town. Do you dare to fight with me Dong Cheng? ”
Wang Huan, who was in charge of the Chinese army, smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Detention Prison, the leader of the thieves said wildly, this is to fight alone, and he also named you." ”
Xiao Tang knew that this Dong Cheng was also a brave general, and in the Water Margin, he successively fought with Liangshan Eight Hussars Zhu Tong and Hua Rong, especially with Xiao Li Guanghua Rong for more than 30 battles. Although the Liangshan army was deliberately luring out Dong Cheng, the impatient and reckless Lingchuan city lord at that time, and the leader of the infantry army who had been ambushed to rush into the city, Dong Cheng was anxious to return to help, only to be shot in the back by Hua Rong's arrow, and with his martial bravery, he was also a top figure under the Tianhu tent in the future.
Fighting with such an opponent, it is good to know the depth of his ability, not to mention that Xiao Tang had a lot of experience in fighting with Wang Huan that night, and it just came in handy today, so he said: "Since the thief wants to fight, the last general will go to meet him!" ”
Suo Chao, who was beside Xiao Tang, grabbed Xiao Tang's reins and said urgently: "Xiao Detention Prison commands the three battalions of people, it is better for me to fight with this first!" When there are more thieves fighting, it is not too late to go to prison! ”
Xiao Tang said with a smile: "You are a pioneer, you also have to teach me to use my means, and you can't teach you to rob it when you fight alone!" With that, he clamped his legs, and the fire block given by Liang Shijie under his crotch neighed and rushed out like a ball of fire.
Dong Cheng saw Xiao Tang galloping out on horseback, he had heard of Xiao Tang's reputation in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he was determined to try his skills, so he didn't say anything more, and slashed at Xiao Tang with a knife. Xiao Tang swung the golden tiger head dragon tooth gun in his hand, and Dong Cheng showed his life skills, going back and forth, going back and forth, and seeing four arms vertical and horizontal, eight horses' hooves were chaotic, and the killing intent was compelling for a while, stirring up a mess.
Shen Ji, under Dong Cheng, saw Dong Cheng and Xiao Tang fighting for twenty or thirty times, and they didn't know whether they won or lost. He secretly thought in his heart: Zhang Mengzhu sent Ling Guang, Suo Xian and others to loot Zongcheng County, Xiao Jiaji and other places, and now he has made a confrontation with this Xiao Tang, and he will not die. I took this person's head first, so as to show my ability and that of Brother Dong Cheng!
Thinking of this, Shen Ji waved the white-dotted steel gun in his hand, flew out, and also attacked Xiao Tang. Dong Cheng and Xiao Tang were fighting in the middle of a fight, and when they saw Shen Ji rushing up to help him, they said angrily: "Shen Ji, what are you doing here!?" Hurry up and get out of here, Hugh will make the officers and soldiers laugh shamefully! ”
Shen Ji said coldly: "Now is not the time for you to fight alone!" Kill this guy quickly, so as to vent the morale of the officers and soldiers! ”
On the side of the official army, Suo Chao was already gearing up and eager to try, and when he saw Shen Ji suddenly killing Xiao Tang with Dong Cheng, he said angrily: "The thief is a scoundrel!" Saying that he wants to fight will instead bully more and less, when there is no one in my daimyo's mansion!? With that, Suo Chao shot out like an arrow, rushed to Shen Ji, picked up the golden dipping axe, and slashed at him.
Shen Ji was shocked to find that the fierce officer and cavalry general who suddenly killed him was imposing, and he was busy blocking with his gun. "Whew!" The loud sound directly taught Shen Ji's eardrums to hurt, his mouth cracked, and the white-dotted steel gun in his hand was bent a little.
Shen Ji struggled to resist Suo Chao for more than ten times, but his arms were sore and embarrassed. When Dong Cheng saw it, he just swung away Xiao Tang's dragon tooth gun, and the wind knife in his hand ran towards Suo Chao again, and scolded bitterly: "Do you a bird!" Apostate Lao Tzu to help you, don't you open and retreat!? ”
The situation evolved into one-on-one and two-on-one, and Dong Cheng and Shen Ji, Xiao Tang and Suo Chao four horsemen intertwined and viciously fought. Zhang Xiang and Lu Yuaner saw Dong Cheng and Xiao Tang fighting viciously, although it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but Shen Ji was in danger under the attack of Suo's super big axe, which dragged Dong Cheng and lost the upper hand. They put their horses out of front of the battle, and they all drew their bows, mounted arrows and aimed at Xiao Tang to sneak attack with dark arrows.
The official army is on the side, how could they not notice Zhang Xiang and Lu Yuan's actions? This little Li Guangdeng, who is famous for his magic arrows, was annoyed, and he said angrily: "How dare the thief release a secret arrow to harm my brother, teach you to recognize my arrow!" As he spoke, the bow in his hand was full, and he was sure that Lu Yuan was closer, and only one arrow was shot, Lu Yuan was caught off guard, and was shot in the face, and without saying a word, he turned over and fell off the horse.
Zhang Xiang saw that he could still take care of Xiao Tang, he hurriedly picked up his bow, put on an arrow, and aimed at Hua Rong's arrow. Hua Rong sneered, he looked backwards, and the arrow was flying in front of him when he held it in his hand.
Hua Rong turned the arrow, put it in front of the string, and looked at Zhang Xiang and shouted: "Your arrow will be returned to you!" After that, he shot out, and then hit Zhang Xiang's throat, and in an instant, Xiao Li Guang shot and killed the two leaders of the thief army who wanted to sneak attack with secret arrows!
Hua Rong became interested, and he shouted: "Since the thieves want to compare bows and arrows, I will teach you to die one by one!" So saying, he led eighteen horsemen to gallop out, took arrows, raised his bow, and shot several arrows, and the thieves shouted, and several of the leaders turned over and fell off their horses.
Wang Huan saw that the lineup of the thieves was loose and his momentum had fallen, so he gave an order and shouted: "It's time to kill the thieves in Weicheng!" ”
The army was ordered, and only Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi led 500 firefighters and 500 Xuanjia soldiers to suppress the position, and the rest of the battalions set up shields and spears, and they were pressed to kill Weicheng. When Dong Cheng and Shen Ji saw each other, they had no choice but to hold on to the reins and ride their horses back to their own formation.
Suo Chao was excited, he took the lead, and rushed straight to the front with his three hundred elite horsemen. He is a brave general who is a pioneer in martial arts, and he is very suitable for leading hussars to charge into battle, not to mention that there is Xiao Li Guanghuarong, a brave general with excellent riding and archery skills, and the eighteen cavalry frequently release arrows to respond to Suo Chao. Xiao Tang also led the crowd to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, at this time, the thieves broke two leaders, and there was no fighting spirit, only Geng Gong under Dong Cheng panicked to stabilize the situation.
Suo Chao was the first to bear the lead, facing the thief army formation blocking the road, he roared wildly, and the momentum skyrocketed! The vanguard leaped on his horse, like a tiger with his wings inserted into the ranks of the thieves. Immediately, the big axe in his hand slashed left and right, and more than a dozen thieves were chopped over and killed by him, and the thieves were scattered in an instant!
The cavalry of the horse army who was killed later knocked over the shield-wielding thieves with the impact of the high-speed galloping horses, and they wielded sabers and spears one after another, wantonly harvesting the lives of the thieves. As soon as the thieves and Suo Chao's elite cavalry came into contact, the situation suddenly became a one-sided situation!
"Withdraw!" Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong saw that the defeat was decided, so they had to lead the crowd to turn around and flee, and the thieves who had dispersed and the formation had collapsed turned their backs to the pursuing officers and soldiers. The horse army, which rode fast on horseback, hurriedly overtook the fleeing thieves, and harvested the heads with the saber in their hands step by step, and nearly a thousand people were killed in a short time.
Dong Cheng gritted his teeth, in the past, he besieged the officers and soldiers with other thieves in Dazhai in the southern Hebei army, and only felt that those officers and soldiers who ate military salaries were vain and had low combat effectiveness. In particular, Zhang Xiang and Lu Yuan were punished by Hua Rong's archery, and the thieves under their command were even more like local chickens and dogs, and the anti-instructor army was killed and lost their armor.
There were only a few thieves left in Weicheng who resisted stubbornly, and Xiao Tang, Suo Chao, and Hua Rong led eighteen cavalry and three hundred elite cavalry to chase Dong Cheng endlessly. And Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, Geng Gong only left dozens of minions on horseback, Dong Cheng led the rest of the troops to panic and ran out for several miles, but they bumped into a military horse, Dong Cheng looked at the past, and the leader of the team was the Hedong Han who he saw in Zhang Di Dazhai that day.
Dong Cheng immediately shouted to the big man: "Brother on the same road, the officers and soldiers are chasing and killing, and there is one to help!" ”
After hearing this, the Hedong Han said: "Since you are a brother of the Southern Hebei Alliance, don't panic, and I will stop the officers and troops behind!" ”
Soon after Dong Cheng arrived, Xiao Tang, Suo Chao, Hua Rong and others led an army to chase after him. Suo Chao looked at the big man led by the thief who killed on the opposite side and also made a big axe, and when he saw the hunting heart, he rode his horse and rushed straight to the big man, and shouted: "That thief! Even if he is also a big axe, he is just in time to compete with me! ”
The big man snorted coldly, and drove the horse only to wait for Suo Chao to kill. Suo Chao picked up the big axe with the power of running wildly and slashed it in the air, and the golden dipped axe was mixed with the momentum of wind and thunder, and he was about to split the big Han Tianling cover!
The big man in Hedong only swung his axe to block it, but Suo Chao suddenly felt that the big man seemed to have a thousand powers, and the big axe in his hand immediately swept his golden dipping axe away.
Suo Chao's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but secretly say: This man, what a lot of brute force!
