Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 383
On the second day after Hu Yanzhuo came to Qingzhou Prefecture, Liangshan's first wave of pursuers followed.

On the evening of the previous day, Kong Liang of Baihu Mountain raised his flag to rebel. Under the banner of welcoming Liangshan, more than 1000 troops and horses from Liangshan gathered in one place, planning to attack Qingzhou.

As for Liangshan, according to Sun Xin's news, it was Song Jiang who personally led the troops to pursue Hu Yanzhuo.

This action scared Shi Wanchong and Murong Yanda very much. They originally thought that the Qingzhou government was going to face only more than 5000 bandits. Now, 6000 people came from Liangshan and Baihushan. More than 3000 bandits were also recruited, and they directly claimed [-] to the outside world, and tens of thousands of bandits. It is really possible to pack Qingzhou Prefecture.

Even Sun Xin and the others lost all contact with the outside world. They only knew that the protection army was about three or four days away from Qingzhou, and the follow-up intelligence agents could not be sent in.

Being in the eye of the storm, the air in the entire Qingzhou prefecture was dull and quiet with a hint of danger.

Since yesterday evening, Kong Liang has led his army down the White Tiger Mountain to loot houses and rich merchants around the White Tiger Mountain.

Many wealthy households were frightened and hurriedly dragged their families to Qingzhou City to escape.

A few days ago, the four gates of Fucheng were closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Some landlords and gentry pleaded pitifully under the walls of Fucheng, but were scared away by the defenders on the city walls with bows and arrows.

Those landlords left Fucheng in despair, seeing the camp of the guards on the hill became even more terrified, so they could only continue to wander in search of a way out.

Their family property has been looted by Kong Liang. If the situation in Qingzhou Mansion continues to be so chaotic, once the city is destroyed, these people will not even have a chance to become thieves, and most of them will be slaughtered directly.

For these people, Sun Xin couldn't save them, and being able to drag his family to Qingzhou Mansion, at least he could say that his family was rich.

Although the slogan of the Protecting Army is to protect food, production, country and family, they really don't have the strength to help these landlords now.

What's more, they are gentry families who can come to Qingzhou, which is already good. More people in the villages that Kong Liang looted will be killed by the bandits directly, and there is no chance of escaping from the village.

the next afternoon.Liangshan's advance army had already arrived outside Qingzhou City.

When the whole army arrived, the officers and soldiers in Qingzhou City couldn't help cursing when they saw the bandit general.

The former generals who attacked Qinzhou in Liangshan were Hua Rong, Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou.

When Qingfeng Mountain rebelled back then, there were three military generals who followed the bandits in Qingzhou: Qingfengzhai Zhizhai Huarong, Zhen Sanshan Huangxin, and Qingzhou City's soldiers and horses commanded Thunderbolt Qin Ming.

Both Qin Ming and Huang Xin were killed by the guards in the Battle of Dulonggang, and Huarong was the only Liangshan bandit who was born in Qingzhou general.

This configuration of soldiers and horses is obviously intended to use the leader of Liangshan who is familiar with the terrain of Qingzhou to clear the way.

Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou were bandits from Qingfeng Mountain, but Hua Rong, a military officer who was eating the rice and salary of Qingzhou people, led Liangshan bandits to attack Qingzhou.

There were some township soldiers on the top of the city who used to be soldiers in Qingfengzhai. At this time, seeing Huarong returning with the Liangshan bandits, and brazenly holding a big banner to patrol outside the city, they couldn't help but curse.

"Looting the countryside, what a sight!"

The taunting voice from the city wall shouted for a long time, but Huarong finally seemed to be able to hear it. He turned his horse and went back, and then silently put away the recognition flag.

In the afternoon, the bandits who came down from Baihu Mountain and the former army of Liangshan gathered together, more than 3000 people gathered together, and a large group of bandits spread out at the east and west gates of Qingzhou City, shouting constantly.

The four walls of Qingzhou City were all strictly guarded. A top stone was added to the city gate, and then a large number of heavy objects such as knives and carts were stuffed, which was tightly blocked.

Sun Xin's camp outside the city wanted to contact Qingzhou City, but he could only send messengers to go up the city.

The people in the city were panicked, seeing the Liangshan bandits getting closer and closer, Murong Yanda finally couldn't take it anymore and sent someone to ask Sun Xin to attack.

Luan Tingyu shook his head when he received the news.

"The opponent's formation is not well established. Sending troops to fight indiscriminately in the wild will only waste manpower. We can't let our infantry chase the opponent's cavalry and run to fight?"

Sun Xin also scratched his head a little, Murong Yanda's command was really too anxious.

However, it is not impossible for his own guards to fight a victory outside the city to strengthen their determination to defend the city.

Sun Xin intends to give Murong Yanda a face, and chooses Liangshan's passage to enter the army to ambush him.

I was looking for an ambush point on the map, when I suddenly heard a commotion in the direction of the city wall.

Sun Xin was taken aback, and called a few dealers to the high place, and saw the gate of the south of Qingzhou City was opened, and Hu Yanzhuo led a cavalry to fight straight out of the city.

Sun Xin understood what was going on in an instant, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Hu Yanzhuo rushed towards the bandit barracks outside the city with more than 100 cavalry like wolves and tigers.

But Sun Xin looked at the location and knew that the direction Hu Yanzhuo was rushing in was actually where the thieves gathered in Baihu Mountain. Liang Shan and Hu Yanzhuo cooperated in acting, and even his own people were unwilling to come out.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't show mercy either, the soldiers rushed in and started killing people.

Many of the bandits in Baihu Mountain were coerced refugees. They had been bandits for no more than half a year, and their weapons were nothing more than sharpened wooden sticks.

How can such chaotic soldiers have the ability to resist when they encounter cavalry?Basically, it is a race against horses, and if one fails to run, it is the result of being pierced by a lance.

In Sun Xin's opinion, this performance was too clumsy. Although Liangshan's main force was thieves, they were also old thieves with formal military training, but the camp that Hu Yanzhuo rushed into was a mess. Someone was cooking, and there were even women running around.

This has even exceeded the lower limit of the level of ordinary bandits setting up camps.

As long as Huarong is not stupid, he will not arrange the position like this.Obviously, it was specially reserved for Hu Yanzhuo to make military achievements.

But turning the binoculars to look at the Dengzhou City officials who were watching the battle, a group of people were already excited.

After a while, there was even the sound of rumbling drums above the city tower. The rhythm was quite chaotic, and it could not meet the rhythm standard of the drums of soldiers marching in the army. It was probably because some officials greatly appreciated General Huyan's bravery, so he beat the drums for him himself. Cheer.

Luan Tingyu was amused: "It's fine if Murong Yanda can't see the strangeness of Hu Yanzhuo's battle, but Shi Wanchong, as the commander of soldiers and horses, can't see the problem?"

Sun Xin shook his head, no matter how poor the officers of the Song Dynasty were, they would not be like this. For example, his elder brother Sun Li would definitely feel strange if he saw this situation, but the teacher Wanchong in Qingzhou City just didn't see it. .

The only explanation is that this division Wanchong has been fighting against bandits before, and he has not studied the tactics carefully, and has no idea what it is like to charge a soldier. It is estimated that Hu Yanzhuo is bullying this guy. Dare to act like this unscrupulously.

No wonder this master Wanchong didn't show his face when he was guarding Qingzhou in the original book.
