The Liangshan army seized the city, but it was stagnant, because there was already an army in Hebei to turn around, and the leader was Zhang Suo, who was left behind in Beijing at that time, and Tong Guan followed it with a general.

Although the other army has not yet arrived in the Daimyo City at this moment, and even the two marched, it should be the Liangshan army that arrived first, but no matter how empty the Daimyo's mansion is, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and the city only needs a little resistance to trap the Liangshan army in a dilemma. Hu Yanzhuo then stood still, obviously waiting for the army on the other side.

If two days later, Zhang Suojun entered the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and Huang Qianshan, who came to worry day and night, was relieved. Zhang Suo also put down a big stone in his heart. However, the main force of the Liangshan army in the south of the river is still like a hanging sword above his head, which makes the people of the Daimyo Mansion worried.

Zhang Xian, the son of Zhang Suo, is young and vigorous, or a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although he knew the strength of the Liangshan army in the past, his fighting spirit never disappeared, and he offered advice to his father: "Why does my father only think about the strategy of defending the city, since the puppet king has come to Yanggu in person, there will be a fight in the future." Our army should attack its front army first, mistake its sharpness, boost the prestige of our army, and then stick to the city. ”

But it was the arrangement of the Liangshan Army that made Zhang Xian see an opportunity. Although Hu Yanzhuo also knew the soldiers, he was a little negligent. Most of his men and horses were stationed in the camp on the banks of the city, and although there were some soldiers and horses in the city, there were not many. And forgive the city for a long time under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, there is no one or two loyal, just need to do some work, and the army will be happy as soon as it arrives.

And the other side was attacked, how did the camp on the river bank not know? If they send troops to the rescue, then my father can ask another general to lead troops to take advantage of the situation. And if there is no support, you can also open the fire and humiliate their peers. ”

Zhang Xian's words did not teach Zhang Suo to be moved, but he made Wang Yan and Yumei happy.

Wang Yan is the first general in Zhang's army, and said at the moment: "What the little general said is very true, and it can be called a foolproof strategy. The last general had already heard of Hu Yanzhuo's reputation for ruining the army's defeat, and now he is even more betraying the country and surrendering to thieves, and he is not a son of man. I would like to bring up a troop of men and horses to take his head. ”

Yumei started from the overall situation and said: "If we can defeat the thief army first, then the morale of our army will be greatly defeated." At that time, stick to the daimyo castle and have your own full grasp. Only in this way can we concentrate on suppressing thieves and eradicating Tianhu thieves. ”

This has already forced the Tian Tiger Thief Army to the end of the mountain, if he is allowed to escape again, it will really be a failure for the Shan Jiu Yan.

Zhang Suo's heart was moved.

In this way, at the third watch of the night, the military camp outside the city of the Daimyo's Mansion suddenly sounded soldiers and horses, and most of these soldiers returned to the Daimyo's Mansion by boat, and their spirit was still sufficient, so they were urgently assembled, and the army went to Hanzhang Town by boat again. At that time, he turned from Hanzhang Town to Chaocheng by land.

Zhang Suo was most worried that his whereabouts would be explored by Liang Shanjun. It's just that fortunately, Hanzhang Town is an important town in the south of the Daimyo's Mansion, and it was also a stronghold on the periphery of the Daimyo's Mansion. After the arrival of Zhang's soldiers and horses, he only made the appearance of being stationed here during the day, and in the evening, a spy reported that the thief army in Chaocheng had not changed. Asked Han Zhang Zhenzhong and his cadres to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Liangshan thieves are so arrogant, don't they hear that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated? If the thief dares to despise our army in this way, he will die this day. Zhang Suo said happily.

When the generals heard this, they were all glad for a while.

When the sun set and it was dark, Zhang Suo personally led most of the military horses to rush towards the city. So straight to the fourth watch approaching, the soldiers and horses rushed to the outside of the city, Zhang Xian, Yumei two led the troops south to the bank of the Yellow River, so fortunate that it was late autumn, the cold night was long.

On this night, the sky was as dark as paint, the stars and moon were dull, and the cold wind blew across the earth, whirring. Looking up at the sky, the frost wind blew across his face like a knife. In the shadow of the black clouds, one or two stars occasionally appeared, flickered twice, and then disappeared, and the sky was afraid and did not want to see the fight.

The horns are more drumming and pounding, and they rise and fall in all directions. In the meantime, there was the sound of people shouting and neighing horses, and the wind blew, and there were bursts of surging like a tide.

Zhang Suo's face showed joy, but there was chaos in the city. Wang Yan immediately personally led 3,000 horse infantry troops to wave their flags and shout, and rushed to the west of the city. The footsteps and hooves of a large number of people and horses caused a noisy noise, which woke up the people inside and outside the city from their sleep, and the people in the city jumped and barked like the tide of the sea.

That Wang Yan's men lit torches, like a fiery dragon, around the corner of the city, and went straight to the west of the city. The first group of people rushed the fastest, with more than 300 people, with a long ladder with hooks, and swooped towards the edge of the city. I saw that the gate of the city had been opened, and the sound of fighting inside was endless. Wang Yan rushed straight to the people. But when the soldiers and horses in front of him came to the city, and the lights were turned on together, he screamed bitterly. But he saw a hundred and ten corpses lying on the ground, and their heads were rolling. In front of them were all neatly lined up Liangshan army armor soldiers, the first veteran, with gray hair, but they wore a cupola iron head, locked gold and wiped their foreheads, seven stars nailed soap robes, black oil to inlay armor, riding a royal horse to kick the snow black horse, so that two water mill eight-edged steel whips, is not Hu Yanzhuo.

Wang Yan turned his horse's head and ran backwards, but for a while he could get out. I only heard the sound of the bangs peeling on the city wall, and dozens of rolling wooden stones crackled at the city gate, blocking the entrance of the city gate. Then I saw that the city wall was suddenly blazing with fire, and thousands of lights were flying on the city, and the flags were fluttering, and the swords and guns were shown, and they were exposed on the city spies. A large flag with the name Huyan floated on a cluster of lights in front of the arrow tower.

Hu Yanzhuo shouted loudly at this time: "The old man Hu Yanzhuo is here, ask your head to come out and answer." ”

Wang Yan looked at the surroundings, how did he not know that he had already died, and there was no need to fight, as long as the bows and crossbows on the city wall sent arrows, he and the hundreds of soldiers behind him would die here. This Hu Yanzhuo shouted to himself at this moment, what else could he do besides persuade him to surrender?

Just as he was thinking, the soldiers in front of him had already entered the waves and dispersed to both sides, revealing Wang Yan's figure.

"You're Wang Yan?" Hu Yanzhuo looked at the visitor curiously. How can this son be so valued by the king? There is also Zhang Xian's junior, who is the two people Lu Qianqin wants. And in this way, that Zhang Zheng can't be killed, otherwise how can the king recover that Zhang Xian?

Just like Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo's father and son in the past, Ma Zheng set himself on fire behind closed doors when the city was broken, although Liang Shanjun did not kill Boren Boren but died because of Liangshan Army, then Ma Kuo also had kindness with Huang Xin, so Lu Qian couldn't kill and couldn't be closed, so he only let people go. Then Ma Kuo is going to serve me again, and he can only do this. At the moment, the father and son of the Zhang family, even so.

"You are so bold, the old man guards the city, and you dare to come and peep? Now that he has ended up like this, he has to repair himself. If you don't surrender and beg at this moment, when will you stay? ”

Hu Yanzhuo felt a trace of jealousy in his heart, and deliberately stabbed Wang Yan in his words. But it made the latter furious, so he also thought about surrendering, and slapped his horse and speared straight at Hu Yanzhuo.

A flash of remorse flashed in the eyes of the double whip general, but he was playing tricks and making it bigger. At that moment, he shouted to release the arrows, raised his double whips, urged the snow and black horses, and rushed into battle. "So bold, the old man will come to meet you." After fighting like this for more than 30 rounds, Wang Yan's skills were one move short, and he was whipped in the shoulder by Hu Yanzhuo and fell off the horse. Seeing this, the Song army behind him threw away their weapons and begged to surrender.

And there is a camp on the side of the Yellow River. Seeing the fire in the city, a large group of people rushed towards the county seat. called Zhang Xian, who was ambushed in the shadows, and Yumei was overjoyed. But the two did not dare to attack the soldier who came out of the village.

As we all know, the Liangshan army fought bravely, and there were no high mountains and valleys on the banks of the Yellow River to ambush, and there were no large forests. In this way, a burst of clamor came out, but it could not be wounded by the Liangshan army, and in the dark night, more than 100 steps away rushed to kill, and the ambush effect was already discounted.

Therefore, their goal is more of a camp on the shore. When the troops and horses went away, Zhang Xian led the horses to the northwest corner of the camp, while Yumei led the 2,000 horses and infantry to wave their flags and shout, and rushed to the south of the camp.

The shouts were as loud as the tide of the sea.

The Liangshan army naturally noticed it, but both of them were fearless, there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the camp there, and the camp was not 3,000 but also 2,005, and the camp was empty, and the second general led 5,000 soldiers to attack and kill, and he would be able to succeed.

For a while, arrows rained down inside and outside the camp, and the sound of fighting shook the sky loudly, but just when the shouts were loud, a few rockets suddenly flew into the sky from inside the camp, and a few horns and cannons. The southwest corner of the camp suddenly shouted loudly, and in the darkness there were no people to distinguish how many people there were, and they counterattacked the Song army. Zhang Xian and Yumei were shocked, how could they not know that the Liangshan army had already been ambushed and fell into a trap.

The soldiers and horses of the Song army trampled on each other and withdrew seven or eight miles of road. The breath was fixed, and in the darkness I saw another army and horses, killed by the oblique stab. Yumei was about to ride her horse to meet the kill, and when she saw the team, the formation was scattered, and the banner was inverted, which was clearly a defeated soldier. But it was Zhang Xianbu.

The two looked at each other, and they didn't need to say much, so they led their troops to flee north.

They are all so calamitous here, and it is even more conceivable to go down to the city.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sergeants were roughly counted during the march, and almost half of them were lost. Only the commander lost four, and three were hit by arrows, but fortunately they were all in unimportant places. The rest of the sergeants were also sad-eyed and in low spirits.

At this moment, Lu Qianren was already in Chaocheng. Seeing the captured Wang Yan, the leader of the eight-character army in the official history, he held his breath in his heart, but he surrendered without accepting his head.

There are carrier pigeons flying in the camp, and they have already defeated the soldiers and horses who stole the camp, but in the chaotic army, Yumei and Zhang Xian were escaped.

"General Huyan, this Zhang Xian and Yumei have led the remnants of the army back to the north, and they will rob and kill." That is, there was a shortage of soldiers and horses, and in order to confuse the Song army earlier, they never increased their troops to the north bank. That is, at night, two thousand pro-troops were rushed in.

The entire head and tail of the Song army were under the supervision of the Espionage Department, and with the popularization of carrier pigeons, as well as the spread of pigeon nests, the news between the Daimyo's Mansion and the South Bank should not be too smooth.

"Don't worry, the king will wait for the ministers to capture him again." After Wang Yan was trapped, he was defeated by the Wen Dabu who attacked. The latter also chased the defeated army north, and was not in the city for the time being.
