Before going down the mountain, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the newly made military flag was directly blown off from the middle.
Wu Yong hurriedly suggested: "This is a bad omen, my brother will go out on another day." ā
Song Jiang also suggested: "My brother has just left the army, and the wind blows the flag and recognizes it, which is not good for the army. ā
However, Chao Gai did not believe in evil, and he said loudly: "Heaven and earth, what is the blame? Take advantage of this warm spring, don't take him, until you develop that momentum, but go to the army, it is too late." If you don't stop me, why don't you go for a while!"
In the end, Chao Gai still led a full twenty leaders and 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush down Shuibo Liangshan.
So, who are the leaders that Chao Gai brought this time?
The personnel of his own department are, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Du Qian, Song Wan, Bai Sheng, a total of seven people.
The personnel of Song Jiang's first series are, Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Yan Shun, Deng Fei, Ou Peng, Yang Lin, six guys with average skills.
The last seven remaining people, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Li, and Huang Xin, were the main force in this campaign, and they were all based on Lin Chong.
Then, the people of Liangshan came to the city of Zengtou City.
The terrain of Zengtou City is very dangerous, surrounded by lakes and surrounded by high hills on three sides, which is definitely a place with iron walls.
The army is also very strong, Zengtou City has five or seven thousand strong soldiers, more than the five thousand soldiers and horses of Shuibo Liangshan.
In addition, the five tiger generals of the Zeng family, Shi Wengong, and Su Ding, a total of seven generals guarded this place, so if Liangshan wanted to attack Zengtou City, it was almost impossible.
On the third day, after the two sides set up a position under the city, they immediately fought hard, and neither side took any advantage.
At this time, both sides knew that the other party was not easy to deal with, so the soldiers and horses of Zengtou City immediately never left the city again, and only stayed in the dangerous city, waiting for the people of Liangshan to come and die.
However, the people of Liangshan are not fools, they are shouting and scolding under the city every day, trying to lure each other out of the city to fight.
It's a pity that for three days, the Zeng family didn't go out of the city at all.
As a result, Chao Gai was like an ant on a hot pot every day, and his hair was about to turn gray in a hurry.
Eh, on the fourth day, two monks ran to the front of the military village to meet Chao Gai.
The two monks knelt down and said: "The little monk is a monk in the Fahua Temple in the east of Zengtou City, and now the five tigers of the Zeng family often come to this temple to practice Luo, ask for gold and silver, and do everything. The little monk knew where he was going to go, so he came to ask the leader to come in and rob the village, and when he was killed, he was fortunate to be in the workshop. ā
The monk said that he knew where the military village of the Zeng family five tigers was, and wanted to ask Chao Gai to send troops to eradicate them.
At this moment, Chao Gai was immediately overjoyed, and immediately prepared to talk to the monk in detail.
Lin Chong admonished: "Brother Hugh has to listen to it, there is no deception in it." ā
Chao Gai said: "Brother Hugh is suspicious and misses a big thing. I'm going to go for myself tonight. ā
However, Chao Gai didn't believe it at all, so Lin Chong continued to admonish again.
Lin Chong said: "Brother is going to leave, I will divide half of the men and horses to rob the village, and my brother will answer outside." ā
Chao Gai only said that he wanted to go, but he didn't say how to go at all, but Lin Chong had already kindly suggested to him that he divide the five thousand soldiers and horses into two parts and let him meet them outside.
Following Lin Chong's words, Chao Gai directly denied: "If you don't go by yourself, who is willing to move forward? ā
Lin Chong saw that Chao Gai had to risk his life, so he immediately said, "Who will my brother take in?"
Why didn't he continue to stop Chao Gai and persuade Chao Gai not to risk his life?
Could it be that he really can't persuade Chao Gai?
Gai said: "Point ten leaders, and divide them into two thousand five hundred men and horses." The ten leaders are: Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Hu Yanzhuo, Ruan Xiaowu, Ou Peng, Ruan Xiaoqi, Yan Shun, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Bai Sheng.
Then, Lin Chong never said it again, and a sentence came out.
Chao Gai took ten leaders with him, and who were the remaining leaders?
Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Li, Huang Xin, Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Deng Fei, Yang Lin, except for Mu Hong, Zhang Heng, Deng Fei, Yang Lin, these four people, the remaining six people, all of them are Lin Chong's family.
After eating that night, the horse picked the bell, the sergeant rank, galloped away in the night, quietly followed the two monks, and went straight to the Fahua Temple, when it was seen, it was an ancient temple.
The Fahua Temple was empty, and after Chao Gai asked why, he continued to ask, "Where is his village?"
The monk said: "He has four villages, but in the north village, it is where the brothers of the Zeng family camp the army. If you only hit that stockade, nothing else matters. These three villages are just that. ā
Chao Gai said: "Can I go at that time?"
The monk said: "Now it's only the second watch, and when the third watch is on, he is unprepared." ā
The monk suggested that Chao Gai attack Beizhai and act at the third watch.
So, on the third watch, Chao Gai led his subordinates, led by the two monks, and traveled to Beizhai.
However, after walking less than five miles, two monks disappeared in the dark shadow, and the front army did not dare to act.
No, the two monks disappeared mysteriously, and the former army didn't dare to move, so they hurried back to Chaogai.
At this time, Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly suggested that everyone return to the old road.
Thereupon...... , walked less than 100 steps, only to see the four golden drums in unison, shouting to the ground, all the torches.
Chao Gai will lead the army to take the road and walk, only to turn two corners, hit out a military horse, when the head of the arrow to shoot the future, unexpectedly, an arrow, right in the face of Chao Gai, knocked off the horse.
But Hu Yanzhuo and Yan Shun rode horses, and they were about to die, and Liu Tang and Bai Sheng behind them saved Chao Gai on the horse and killed him out of the village.
Lin Chong and others at the entrance of the village led the army to respond, and the enemy was able to hold it just now.
The two armies fought in a scuffle, killing until dawn, and each returned to the village.
This battle is simply too weird, 2,500 people, nearly half of them were killed, so how many enemy troops should be there in ambush within a hundred steps of everyone in Liangshan?
No matter how you count it, it can't be less than a thousand, right?
A whole thousand people ambushed around, but after Liangshan's army walked by, they didn't notice it at all, even if it was dark, even the soldiers of Zengtou City were very good at ambushing.
However, there were more than 2,500 people in the village, and 2,500 people from Lin Chong outside the village, a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses.
After Chao Gai escaped with an arrow, Lin Chong fought here all night!
So, this time, did Zengtou City not only ambush a thousand people, but did all his best?
Since Lin Chong has been fighting hard for so long, the loss of Zengtou City will not be less than a thousand.
The next day, something even weirder happened.
Colonel Fulu hurriedly reported: "The four or five military horses in front are coming, and there are countless torches. ā
Lin Chong listened and got on the horse together.
The torches on three sides of the mountain are bright, shining like the white sun, and shouting in front of the village.
Lin Chong led all the leaders, did not go to resist the enemy, pulled out the village, and returned to the horse and left.
The Zeng family's military horses are behind the future to kill the future, and the two armies are fighting and leaving.
It took fifty or sixty miles to get rid of it.
When he encountered an ambush, Lin Chong bravely broke off and fought hard with the other party all night, but now there are nearly 4,000 people in the Liangshan army, but when the army of Zengtou City killed, he fled directly, and was chased by others for a full fifty or sixty miles!
If the army in Zengtou City was also damaged in the previous battle in the small village, then at this time, everyone is just half a catty against eight taels, and what is the big deal if they fight hard?
After waiting for three days, no one came out to fight, and now the army of Zengtou City finally took the initiative to fight, but ...... , why did Lin Chong choose to flee directly?
When the number of people was counted, a third strange thing happened.
Counting the soldiers, he lost another five or seven hundred people, suffered a big defeat, and hurriedly took the old road, looking at Liangshan and coming back.
In the first battle of the small village, more than 1,000 people died in 5,000 soldiers and horses, and at this time, the whole army was chased for 50 or 60 miles, that is, more than 20 kilometers, but only less than 700 people died.
Since the soldiers of Liangshan are so good at escaping, then, with Lin Chong responding, how did Chao Gai's army fold by nearly half!
Could it be that with the scuds of the Liangshan soldiers, they couldn't even run out of a small village?
In the small village, how many people were ambushed in Zengtou City?
If it was pouring out, why did the soldiers of Liangshan ambush around them without discovering nearly 5,000 people?
Why did Lin Chong only take less than 5,000 remnants of the army and fight directly with the other party all night?
If it wasn't for pouring out of the nest, but tightly ambushing less than 2,000 people, then, after Lin Chong fought hard all night, why didn't he seem to have killed a single enemy at all?
If there are only more than a thousand people in ambush tightly, then ...... , Lin Chong led nearly 4,000 people, but he fought with the other party for nearly a night, is his level of leadership so poor?
And most importantly, he fought all night, why...... , all of them died, what about the soldiers under Chao Gai?
What happened that night in the small village, in the story, there is no explanation at all.
The two armies fought in a scuffle, killing until dawn, and each returned to the village.
These two armies, which two armies are they?
Returning to the village, which village does it belong to?
