Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 159
The morning light broke through the gaps in the clouds. In previous years, it should have been the season of thawing into the ground, but it was still very cold.

On the avenue, the snow was trampled black and white by the passing people and horses. A horse's hoof slammed across it. The moment the snow turned up, the sound of muffled thunder approached from far away, and the rumbling sound spread and spread between the sky and the earth. Pairs of iron hoofs rained down on the frozen dirt road, beating the drums for pedestrians to avoid.

The sky was already clear, and a cavalry force of more than [-] men, wearing the scarlet uniforms of the Song army, with leather armor tied to the horses, armed with knives and guns, and not holding axes, rushed into the hills with an indomitable momentum.

The forest on the side of the road is sparse, and there is a dirt road. The pace of this group of cavalry also slowed down when they entered, trotting on the road that was half covered with snow and half covered with moss. However, even though there were not many trees, some people were sometimes killed Zhi hit the head and let out a cry of "Ouch".

"Brother, after passing the Longde Mansion is the Weisheng Army, we are already close."

Bian Xiang's voice came from behind, Lu Bu turned his head to look back, but before he could speak, he frowned when he saw Ma Jun's panic behind him: "It's not proper."

Bian Xiang, Xiao Haili and the others also looked back after hearing this, and then turned back to Xiao Haili with a flushed face: "Boss, it's my fault, I failed to train this group of people."

At the side, Du Po helped: "It's no wonder Brother Xiao, most of the new horsemen are former pawns, and now they can keep up with this for a long time without falling behind, brother Xiao has trained well."

"Go back and practice more." Lu Bu shook his head: "The horse army will be of great use in the future, and it can't be used just like this."

"Don't worry, leader." Xiao Haili turned his head slightly to look back, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness: "I will train them hard when I go back."

"Brother, there seems to be something wrong here." Qiao Lie ignored the conversation he was waiting for. He always felt that someone was spying on him all the way, so he couldn't help but speak out at this moment.

Lu Bu glanced at the Taoist in a blink of an eye: "Don't worry, it's just a little clown."

"Perhaps he is a strong man nearby." Du Po said with a serious face, "He has a lot of people waiting in this hill, so he must be waiting for an opportunity."

"It's too late to cover it up." Bian Xiang chuckled, "I can't wait until I'm out of here to stop it."

"Boss, do you want the people below to wear leather armor?"

Lu Bu turned his head to look around, and pointed to the front: "Just stop there for a while."

The sound of hoofbeats gradually stopped, and the hills suddenly fell silent.

……

In the forest ahead, the light falls from above, which is different from the mottled appearance in summer. At this time, the sunlight illuminates most of the dim forest, and the bare branches are projected on the ground, forming a black and white pattern.

Three big men in full armor sat on horseback with their weapons horizontally and looked ahead. They were surrounded by minions armed with swords. At a glance, there were about seven or eight hundred of them. Only less than [-]% of this group were wearing armor, and some of them were still pale. , obviously not a powerful stockade.

"Report to the village master, that group of Song soldiers stopped in the forest and are putting on their armor."

"Wearing armor? Are they still wearing armor?" The village owner was in his late thirties. He was unusually burly, with bulging chest muscles and thick arms. The spear was Wen Zhongrong, a famous strongman in Baodu Mountain who shook the mountain: "What else can I do?"

"The little one saw that he was waiting to put on the leather armor in turn, and was anxious to report back to you, so he didn't continue to stare."

Wen Zhongrong patted his thigh: "This group of Song Jun is quite cautious."

"Brother, if you want me to tell you, let's just kill them directly. The officers and soldiers have never had any fighting intentions. They are all a bunch of cowards." With the mixed iron gun in his hand, he looks very capable and powerful. It is Cui Ye, the master of the second village who moved mountains.

The third child, Nie Gong, is also a strong man, with a face like a crescent moon and thick eyebrows. He is good at wielding a mourning knife, and he is congratulated by the rivers and lakes as a mountain-splitting warrior: "Second brother is right, brother, just do it. The nearby Song soldiers are all soft bones, but I don’t believe that he can be an exception.”

Wen Zhongrong thought for a while: "Don't talk nonsense, he is riding a horse, if he wants to run, can we use two legs to catch up to four legs? It is negotiated."

"Understood." Mie Gong nodded.

"It's better to kill less horses, so much together is God's pity for our brothers." Cui Ye narrowed his eyes with a smile: "When the time comes to make more money, some people nearby will no longer be able to survive."

"We are not rich, you still have to take care of others." Mie Gong said something, then sighed: "The surname Tian in Linzhou is making a big fuss, it seems like they are about to start a riot."

"Don't worry about him, he's just a posturing guy." Wen Zhongrong kicked the horse's belly, urged the horse forward, and signaled the two brothers to follow: "I wanted to win us over before, but I refused."

The horse trotted up: "Thinking about it now, I really want to take a stab at that smiling face."

"I don't like him too, he has an ugly face with a flattering smile." Cui Ye, wielding a mixed iron gun, urged his horse to follow closely.

Nie Gong laughed loudly: "Second Brother is really right."

The three brothers said in their mouths that people had already reached the middle of the road, dozens of strong minions followed behind with big knives and spears, and the two sides were full of people.

Not long after, the gentle sound of horseshoes seemed to be the muffled thunder of this cold spring, rumbling from far to near.

"Hurry up, come closer... Huh?" Wen Zhongrong looked excitedly at Ma Jun who had entered the trap ahead, and his smile froze in an instant.

"stop--"

Fang Tian raised his halberd, and the cavalry trotted over all stopped. The figure in the cloak glanced at the woods on both sides, and sneered: "Small tricks, just make people laugh, let him wait to come forward and answer."

"Why did it stop?"

"You won't find out, will you?"

"It's well hidden, a coincidence... right?"

The three burly men on the opposite side were also whispering, Wen Zhongrong raised his big hand and touched his chin, his expression changed: "Someone has come out."

Liu Yuan rode forward with a Tiger Tooth Knife, and shouted loudly: "Hey! The thief on the other side listen up, give me a breathless answer!"

When the three people in Baodu Mountain heard the words, blue veins popped up on their foreheads, they all shouted loudly and urged the horse to go forward. Mie Gong pointed forward with the mourning knife in his hand: "You wait for Chi Lao who is a clay sculpture, don't you sit at home and hold your baby?" Breastfeeding, ran to our place to beg wild fire to eat, now kneel down and kowtow three times and shout to the ancestors, I allow you to retreat."

"This person doesn't have to clean up his mouth." Lu Bu frowned, and his thoughts of talking had faded a bit.

"Brother, wait a moment, I'll catch him." Bian Xiang listened to the horse, and waved the big ax in his hand: "The ugly ghost on the other side is here, your mother didn't teach you how to speak, I will teach you!"

Someone in the opposing team was furious when they heard this.

"Killing dogs, your grandpa Cui is here to teach you how to be filial!"

Cui Ye let out a roar, straightened out his mixed iron gun, and rode straight towards Bian Xiang. How could Bian Xiang be afraid here, he also rushed towards Bian Xiang. The two are similar, the gun is like a shooting star, the ax is like a thunderbolt, and there is a bang. With a loud noise, the two clashed fiercely, sparks were drawn from the edge.

"How brave!"

"The strength is not bad!"

The cry sounded, the two pairs of arms swung open, the iron spear retracted and stabbed at Bian Xiang's throat, the mountain-opening ax over there whizzed past, and went straight to the neck, Cui Ye had no choice but to turn the gun in his hand into an attack. Guard, and hurriedly stopped him. Amid the deafening sound of metal clashing, the strong wind suffocated his mouth and nose, and then he cheered up and fought forward.

There was a loud bang bang bang bang, and the trembling forest seemed to be trembling.

"Second brother was captured by the enemy?" Mie Gong stared at the opposite side with his eyes widened. Cui Ye's marksmanship and strength were all chosen at the moment. How many officers and soldiers in the Longde Mansion were killed by him with a single shot? It was actually blocked by the officers and soldiers. Could it be that the sun rose in the wrong direction?
"It's not the enemy." Wen Zhongrong clenched the spear and took a breath: "The opponent has the upper hand."

Mie Gong looked over and saw that six or seven of Cui Ye's ten moves were for defense, knowing what his brother said was true, he quickly said: "I can't go on like this, I'm going to help my second brother."

After all, in order to wait for Wen Zhongrong to reply, he urged the horse to come forward: "Second brother, don't panic, I'm coming!"

"Wait……"

Wen Zhongrong always felt wrong when he saw the behavior of this group of Song soldiers, and wanted to discuss a few words with Nie Gong, but he didn't expect this reckless man to ride on his horse. He rushed forward, hoping that the three brothers would work together to quickly kill each other.

"Everyone wants to fight more with less!"

Liu Yuan was shouting at the front, but he didn't expect to come and started a fight with Bian Xiang. Seeing someone coming from behind, how could he let go of the opportunity to show off, and rushed forward to catch Nie Gong and fight.

As soon as his Huya Knife and Sangmen Knife touched, sparks flew up, his palms became hot, and his arms felt a little numb. The letter spit out by the poisonous snake pointed at the shoulder socket of the opponent's knife-wielding hand.

crunch--

The sound of metal scraping sharply sounded, and people trembled when they heard it. Mie Gong shook his body, and looked at the opposite side with a grinning smile: "Compared with skill speed?"

Flipping the Sangmen Knife, he forced the opponent's big knife away, and cut across it like lightning: "I haven't lost yet!"

bang——

Liu Yuan bit the bullet and took it hard, one side of his body was numb, but he didn't dare to pause for a moment, gritted his teeth and swung the saber again, fighting with the big saber of the Sangmen opposite.

He heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, before he could turn around, a familiar voice sounded: "You and I both use Zhangba Snake Spear, let's try it out."

The horses were spinning, and in the field of vision, Du Yu's green armor was lined with golden dragon head decorations, where the zhangba snake spear was raised, and the last big man of the opponent was rolled in, and there was a crackling sound of the two spears clashing in an instant.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Wen Zhongrong was frightened and angry, holding the snake spear tightly with both hands, but the spear that was usually directed like an arm seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, he always felt that he could not use the opponent's spear technique, and his divine power was not as destructive as usual.

"Tell me again!"

Du Po sneered coldly, stabbing, picking, slaying, and drawing moves with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, and the Shanshan Lishi on the opposite side was in a hurry, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat and hot sweat.

At present, three pairs of people and six horses came to fight in a circle. After more than forty rounds, they heard a loud shout, and one of the six people was kicked off their horses.

Lu Bu and the others looked behind and saw that Liu Yuan was knocked off the horse by the Sangmen knife on the opposite side, but Naie Gong didn't do anything to kill anyone. One fell off the horse.

"Don't move." Du Po pointed at Wen Zhongrong with a snake spear, looked at Liu Yuan, who was also held hostage, and then at Mie Gong who was on the horse, and frowned at Bian Xiang.

Nie Gong held back the word "live" abruptly, held his breath in his chest, and let it out slowly, his hand holding the big knife didn't move, and he also looked at his second brother.

Over there, Bian Xiang saw that the two pairs were victorious, and he couldn't help being competitive. He smashed his head, chopped his shoulders, and split his legs with the ax in his hand. Cui Ye was in a hurry. After hitting the Pegasus, Cui Ye's palms were bloody, obviously severely injured by the blow.

"Hahaha, happy!" Bian Xiang roared, seeing that Cui Ye, who was unarmed, did not pursue, he reined in the reins, turned his horse, pointed at Mie Gong and said, "Quickly let my brother go."

"Let my brother go first." Seeing that Bian Xiang hadn't killed Cui Ye, Mie Gong's beating heart slowly fell back, but he didn't dare to let go of Liu Yuan.

"elder brother."

Du Po turned his head and went back, Lu Bu waved his hand, Du Po retracted his spear and retreated, Wen Zhongrong touched his sore buttocks, stood up and shouted to Mie Gong first: "Third brother, please withdraw your saber and retreat first, don't you?" to hurt someone."

Mie Gong over there obediently retreated, Liu Yuan stood up with a blushing face, Wen Zhongrong looked at Du Po who was on the horse again and said, "Who are you waiting for? You can't be an officer if you act like this."

"It's not stupid." Bian Xiang came over and smiled: "We are heroes from Jingdong Liangshan, this time we came here for personal revenge, and my brother is also behind, please go over and talk."

"Who is your brother?"

"Have you ever heard of Liangshan Lu Bu?"

"Ah, my brother." Wen Zhongrong was startled, and hurriedly bowed: "This is really a big flood rushing into the Dragon King Temple. The green forest people don't know the green forest people."

Fu Xiang rode over from behind, cupped his hands and said: "Guys, my elder brother is also behind, please go over and talk."

Wen Zhongrong took a breath, called Cui Ye and Nie Gong to come over, and stretched out his hand to Qiao Lie: "Please."

Immediately, the three of them followed the Taoist and urged their horses forward. When they arrived in front of Lu Bu, they quickly got off their horses and bowed down: "The people in the mountains don't know that the heroes of Dazhai came here, and they begged for atonement."

Cui Ye and Mie Gong were taken aback for a moment, seeing their elder brother bowing down, they did not dare to be negligent, so they followed suit. Lu Bu jumped off the horse, helped the three of them up and said patiently: "Please get up quickly, those who don't know will not be guilty."

Over there, Wen Zhongrong bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Xiang Rili heard that the main team of the village beheaded Li Mian, and later rushed to Xiangyang to save his brothers. Jingdong defeated the Song army in the wild in a few days. The three of us admired it very much. If you can lower your dignity, go to Xiaozhai to rest and let the three of us make amends."

Cui Ye and Mie Gong stared wide-eyed, they didn't listen to Wen Zhongrong's conversation with Du Po and Bian Xiang just now, so they knew who the person in front of them was at this moment, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "We heard that in the past I admire the village master's actions, I don't want to run into Yun today, but I hope the village master will make amends."

Seeing this, Qiao Lie came forward and said behind Lu Bu, "Brother, be careful of fraud."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bu turned his head slightly after hearing this: "I'm not afraid that he will have other ideas, just let the sons below make more preparations, and the soldiers will never leave their hands, and the armor will never leave their bodies."

Turning his head to look at the three of them again, he said, "I'm waiting for a lot of people, so I'm going to disturb you."

The three of Wen Zhongrong were overjoyed and waved their hands again and again: "How can you disturb me? It's too late for me to be happy."

　PS: The simplified version of Baodushan Lishi Group is Luocao at Huiyan Peak, and the complex version is Baodu Mountain. It’s a little tricky, the simplified version is used for the characters, and the complex version is used for the location. It can be said that all three are tiger-level strength.
