Chapter 47: All the way to the west
When the people and horses of the Daimyo Mansion were crossing the Zishui, suddenly the other side of the river killed a group of people and horses in Liangshan, and under the attack of the half-crossing, the people of Hebei were in chaos.
I only heard the roar like thunder, the big axe like frost, and the leader of the heroes swept over the flat ground was the black whirlwind Li Kui, and Li Kui fought side by side with a fresh face, which was Bao Xu, the mourning god from Kouzhou Dry Tree Mountain, Bao Xu's new Liangshan, was thinking about meritorious service, and at this moment he fought a mourning sword, slashed left and right and crashed into the official army, and people could not approach.
The leader behind the two of them was faceless. Jiao Ting commanded the archers under his command, and the arrows rained down, and the officers and soldiers who tried to assemble to confront Li Kui and Bao Xu became the most haode arrow targets, and were defeated by Liangshan's tactics of long-distance and close attack.
Liang Zhongshu, who was on the other side of the river, saw that the former army was in ambush, and his heart was like fire, and while ordering his subordinates to step up the crossing of the river and meet the former soldiers and horses, he sent someone to send a letter to the second eunuch of Gongdao in Qingzhou City, asking for reinforcements.
Looking at the fire and shadow on the other side of the river, the people and horses of Liangshan shouted and fought, advancing step by step, the front army was defeated and retreated, there were those who died in battle, those who jumped into the river, and those who surrendered, but they were in a hurry and couldn't help! was depressed, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves sounding like dense drums, and a group of light horses galloped in the distance.
It wasn't the reinforcements sent by the second eunuch of Gongdao - those two goods are now too busy to take care of themselves, where can they have time to answer Liang Zhongshu? It turned out that it was just getting late today, and in the second eunuch camp, the three thousand soldiers of the Golden Gun Squad brought by Xu Ning in the old days suddenly mutinied en masse and went out of the official barracks, and the leader of the team was none other than Xu Ning, the former head of the Golden Gun Squad Instructor.
Xu Ning and Zhang Qing's prisoner car went all the way back to Beijing, relying on the care of Zhao Yu, a cheap apprentice of the royal family, and the two did not suffer. When passing by Kouzhou Dry Tree Mountain, there was a drum on the flea Shi Qian who was ordered by General Ximen Qing to meet with the black whirlwind Li Kui and the mourning god Bao Xu, and jumped out to block the way.
The three heroes killed and dispersed the escort officers and soldiers, rescued Xu Ning and Zhang Qing, took Zhao Yu with them, and went to Liangshan together. When the news reached the capital, the princess of Hua'er was like a mourner, and it was okay to leave Xu Ning, but unfortunately the Yanling chain mail that traveled with the prisoner car would never arrive!
Under the old shame and anger, Hua'er Wang Taiwei sent someone to find out the bad luck of Xu Ning's family, but it turned out that Xu Ning's family had already been secretly picked up by the little whirlwind Chai Jin, Tie called Zile and sent people, and at this time they had already gone to Liangshan and reunited with Xu Ning's family.
Xu Ning had to get rid of the disaster, his wife was reunited, the family heirloom was lost and recovered, thinking of the court's meanness and unkindness to the generals, sighed, and lowered Liangshan, and today he came to Qingzhou City to secretly recruit the old department.
Zhang Qing was even more simply, after experiencing all this ups and downs, he was also dead set on this dynasty that did not distinguish between right and wrong, and he had no family to drag him down, so he simply voted for Liangshan cleanly. Zhang Qing surrendered, and his two deputy generals Hua Xianghu Gong Wang and Zhongjian Tiger Ding Desun were naturally willing to follow the righteousness, so tonight the three of them led 800 light horsemen to ambush in the distance, and after seeing the torches on the opposite bank, they came to rob Liang Zhongshu in the rear formation.
Rushing into the rear of the heavy vehicles, Zhang Qing shook his spirit, and threw the fire cylinder made by Lei Lingzhen in all directions, with the technique of no feathered arrows, it was absolutely not one in a hundred, and in the blink of an eye, a raging fire broke out on the grain and grass heavy vehicles. Eight hundred light horsemen followed, and the torches were thrown indiscriminately, and in an instant, the place was burned to resemble a flaming mountain.
Liang Zhongshu's elite men and horses were all assembled by the river, and when they saw the fire, they hurriedly came to the rescue, but they were started by Zhang Qing's hand, and the flying stones were all over the air, and the generals and colonels who commanded the troops were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they all left, and the remaining soldiers were rushed by the cavalry, and they were also scattered.
Zhang Qing wanted to strike while the iron was hot: "When Liang Zhongshu arrested me, he was so angry, who knew that there would be today?" Why don't I go to the river and reward him with a stone, if he is killed, it will be a miracle! ”
As soon as he thought of it, Zhang Qing rushed to the river, and shouted in his mouth: "Liang Zhongshu, do you still recognize that I don't have a feather arrow Zhang Qing?" ”
Wenda Li Cheng knew that this person was very powerful, and he didn't step forward with him, but just shouted: "Ready!" ”
It was originally from Dong Ping's front of the battle, and after snatching Liang Zhongshu's Yinluo umbrella cover, Liang Zhongshu couldn't help but be frightened every time he thought of it. So the guards around him often followed the crossbowmen, and laid down a hundred strong bows and hard crossbows, and when an order was given, the arrows were like flying locusts.
Under this chaotic arrow, Zhang Qing wanted to come to the middle palace today, but it was difficult to climb to the sky, one rushed forward, the horse was already a few arrows, Zhang Qing hurriedly turned the horse back, to a dozen steps away, the horse was exhausted, neighed, fell to the ground, fortunately Zhang Qing was agile, left the saddle, and was as light as a swallow.
Wen Da Li Cheng saw that Zhang Qing had fallen off the horse, and came on the left and right to catch Zhang Qing. Fortunately, Gong Wangding and Sun Fei picked up the javelin and flew the fork, and directly took the news of Li Cheng. When Wenda Li Cheng dodged, Zhang Qing flew up two stones, and Wenda Li Cheng hurriedly used weapons to grid, only three knives were splashed with stars, and Wenda Li Cheng pulled the horse back.
On both sides of the bank, on one side is the black whirlwind Li Kui led the infantry army to cross and close, and on the other hand, Zhang Qing led the light cavalry to come and go, stirring up the front and rear armies of Liang Zhongshu, and the grain was heavy, and it was nine out of ten. Liangshan's men and horses were disturbed enough, and then the whistle sounded, and the troops were withdrawn and disappeared into the night. Although Liang Zhongshu's rear army was almost completely destroyed, the loss of men and horses was not large, and the 2,000 elites who crossed the river in the forward line fled back by swimming except for a few, but the whole army was wiped out.
Liang Zhongshu's army was frightened all night, sleepy and hungry, and finally waited until daytime, carefully probed that there were no more ambushes, and then quickly crossed Zishui, and the whole team came to the nearest county seat. After entering the county, the wounded soldiers were settled, and the local officials were requisitioned for grain and straw, which caused chickens and dogs to jump in the locality. Although the military discipline of the Hebei soldiers is okay, but last night they suffered a defeat, killed and injured many brothers, and the source of the disaster, naturally the Shandong people are not good, so they have done a lot of unfair and illegal things in the city, which has greatly damaged the people's hearts, and the beggars, rich people, and even corrupt officials and corrupt officials have all gritted their teeth and hated it.
At this time, Liang Zhongshu didn't care about this, he and Wenda Li Chengzheng hurriedly gathered the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and at the same time scavenged all the grain in the city, and also sent people to send letters to the states and counties along the way, so that all localities could prepare grain and labor troops.
Knowing that this is a drink to quench his thirst to ruin his reputation, Liang Zhongshu is also very particular about it at this time. There was an ambush by the waterside of Ximen Qingzi, obviously harassed by a small force, and the team must have gone to the nest of their own famous mansion. If you don't collect military supplies by means of quick swords and cut through the mess, and quickly chase after the Liangshan bandits, when you slowly swing back to Hebei, the Daimyo's Mansion will inevitably be looted by Liangshan into an empty city.
As soon as he thought of this, all the people who lived in the Daimyo's Mansion stuck chicken feathers in their stomachs - Gui (turtle) was like an arrow, and they couldn't complain that the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry when they acted.
It can be said that Liang Zhongshu is running all the way and grabbing all the way, and there are countless white stripes in the towns along the way, and the magistrate wants to cry without tears. The characteristic of the Celestial Empire is that the official level crushes people to death, if this big official has some military power in his hands, it is even more arrogant and domineering to the extreme, what is the point of making counterfeit money for government behavior such as white stripes?
After Zizhou and then into Qizhou, the Hebei soldiers grabbed the hand smoothly at this time, and some couldn't help it. Who knew that in the left side of Longfang Town, Qizhou, he was attacked by the Liangshan people again, and the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, and Zhensanshan Huang Xin led the team to attack together, and the invasion was like fire, and the Hebei soldiers were all mixed up these days, who was willing to fight to the death? After a little support, the tide was generally defeated to Licheng, the capital of Qizhou. Fortunately, the Liangshan army did not chase too much, but only plundered the golden drum in the back, snatched the banner, and collected the lost scattered property of the Hebei army on the road like scavenging.
When they entered Licheng, the Hebei army breathed a sigh of relief, counted some public and private property, and went to five or six out of ten, so everyone was unbalanced in their hearts, so they fought in Licheng for a long time in the name of Liang Zhongshu, and then reorganized the army and went all the way to the west.
Out of Licheng, after Changqing, across Jishui, at this time it was almost into the north of the river. When the Hebei army and horses were all in high spirits, and when they rushed to Danhuan Town at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, they suddenly heard a cannon sound, and another group of Liangshan men and horses waved off on the road - this time it was not as light as in the previous two interception battles, but I saw that the army was strong and the morale was high, and the leading general was the Liangshan leader Tota Tianwang Chao Gai! Chao Gai has a leopard head Lin Chong on the left, a sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li on the right, and the leader of Liangshan who is seven long and eight short is surrounded behind him, leading 10,000 elite soldiers to block Liang Zhongshu's way.
Liang Zhongshu then remembered that although this place is close to Hebei, it is closer to Liangshan! Ximenqing went to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, and Chao Gai was waiting here to get stuck in his neck, which was really a tacit understanding.
But when he saw Chao Gai's horsewhip raised, he shouted: "Liang Zhongshu, I have also heard that although you are a corrupt official, you still know how to do things for the people, and you are not the kind of person who ignores your conscience." But looking at your march, its behavior is still the essence of a bandit! We are real robbers, and we are also very respectful; You officials and robbers don't even want to have a face! Come on, come on, let the horses come, today we Liangshan want to get angry with the people of the two states to relieve their hatred! ”
When Liang Zhongshu heard this, his cheeks burned red, and he didn't dare to answer Chao Gai's lower voice head-on, but turned back to the generals and said: "Today, I won't say anything nonsense about serving the country and making meritorious contributions!" Not far ahead, it is the border of Hebei, and your relatives are waiting for you to go home for reunion! If you let that Ximen Qing grab the head and enter the daimyo, I am afraid that you will never see your relatives again, and what you see will be a new meat mound tomb! ”
The loud-voiced soldiers who passed on Liang Zhongshu's morale-boosting words layer by layer, and the Hebei soldiers' breathing became heavy.
Liang Zhongshu continued: "This official also has relatives in the Daimyo's Mansion. For the sake of our loved ones, let's turn into ghosts and gods and rush into battle! Break away from the enemy formation and rush into the Daimyo in Ximen Qingtou! Whoever stands in my way, will be killed! ”
The Hebei army let out an earth-shattering howl, and countless blades pierced the sky, and their morale soared. Hearing that Li Cheng took the lead, he jumped out of the horse, and the luck dantian shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" "This is exactly what it is:
I hope that there will be no war in the world, and I only want the world to have a home. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
