Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Between the roads, the Liangshan cavalry and the official cavalry were fighting. There was no gap between the armor and the charging distance between the two sides. The Liangshan cavalry directly used their long spears as javelins. With a whistling sound, it pierced through the chest, and the tip of the gun protruding out of the body brought out a pool of blood, and then drew out the sword and rushed towards the remaining living people.

The whirling sharp ax cut into the flesh and blood, and the blood splashed into the sky under the sun, and then fell quickly, hitting the blades of grass and splashing into fine blood drops, and then a corpse pressed up.On the small battlefield, the lights of knives were flickering, entangled enemies slashed at each other with knives, horses neighed and galloped, human heads flew into the sky, and dead pupils reflected ferocious faces.

The fierce generals with guns turned their horses and rushed into the crowd. Those who were far away were speared, and those who were close were slashed with swords. Amidst the screams, blood was scattered on the field. The fierce fighting gradually stopped as the number of people decreased.

"Huh? Finished?"

A fat figure appeared from the woods on the other side, and the unconscious figure in front of him drooped his hands, swaying naturally with the horse's progress, and the captive on Yao Gang's horse tilted his head when he rode up to the front: "Did you kill him? "

"Why did you kill him?" Yao Gang glared at the fat man, "You have already captured one, so I, as the deputy commander, will naturally also capture one."

Wei He curled his lips, looked aside and muttered in a low voice: "Just learn from me, someday you might as well change your surname to Wei."

"Hey...you fat guy—"

Yao Gang made a gesture to hit him, but the fat man kicked the horse's belly and ran forward, saying: "Hurry up and go back, you are very worried about me right now, you must be a high-ranking official."

Yao Gang didn't really want to beat him, he also reined in his horse and turned around when he heard the words, muttering: "What kind of official is running here at this time, but isn't he tired of work?"

With a call to the crowd to clean up the battlefield, a group of cavalry dismounted one after another, stabbed the surviving officers and soldiers, and then pulled dozens of horses they caught and galloped away.

The sky was falling and the clouds were dyed red. The galloping horses galloped into the camp on the west side of the water. The horses that gradually stopped were panting heavily and snorting. Some soldiers came to lead the empty horses. The patrolling soldiers walked by and lit the bonfire. , a black shadow was cast on the side tent under the light of the fire, and it was difficult to distinguish the human form with teeth and claws.

"Brother Yao is back? How did you get so many horses?" He was in charge of guard today. He heard the sound of horseshoes and ran over to watch. He was watching Yao Gang throw the captives to the soldiers and get off his horse.

"Today, I was in charge of the patrol on the west side. I didn't expect to run into a group of officers and soldiers marching carelessly towards the cottage. This is too disrespectful to us."

"Perhaps he won a game, so he doesn't care about me more or less." He said with a smile, looked at the horse in front of him, took a step forward, and casually glanced at the soldier who was framed by the soldiers. The captured prisoner took a step forward, stopped abruptly and turned around: "Huh?! Is this guy?"

"Brother Li knows?"

Yao Gang looked curiously at the big black man in front of him, and looked at the unconscious man and smiled: "This man should be the vanguard of the army. The old leader of the army fought with him before. This guy eats Dong. The boy was beaten back with a single call."

Only then did Yao Gang look at Han Tao with a look of surprise, "Emotion is still a character."

Yan Yao patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, you have done meritorious deeds this time... eh? Why haven't you woken up yet?"

"Didn't Brother Li capture a general last time? Even though the prisoner was changed, the credit is still there." Yao Gang grinned and said nonchalantly, "This guy woke up twice in the middle, and I asked my younger brother to give him a hand." Kicked out."

"..." Yan Jiao looked at Sai Cunxiao, but continued to hold his thumbs and was speechless.

Yao Gang saw that Wei He also got off his horse, and walked towards the handsome tent: "I'll go to my brother to give orders."

"Go." He waved his hand and ignored Yao Gang. He circled around the horse with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart how he could ask for a few horses. In exchange for the previous credit, it should be fine...

Right?
Yao Gang and Wei He walked into the big tent with a few soldiers and two captives. Seeing Lu Bu sitting in the commander's seat and writing something, they couldn't help but glance at each other, stepped forward and said, "Yao Gang (Wei Gang) Crane) I have seen my brother."

"Back?" Lu Bu wrote a few more words, then put down the pen and looked forward, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why did you bring back two?"

"It was lucky, I met a team of cavalry, we killed both of them, and the horses were taken back." Yao Gang turned his head and pointed at Han Tao: "Just now, I ran into Brother Luan and said that he was the vanguard of the previous army. The other bird is protected by him."

Wei He nodded from behind: "Yes, after my younger brother captured him, what kind of vanguard is still eager to chase and kill my younger brother."

"Oh?" Lu Bu became interested, stood up and walked over: "It looks like it's still a big fish."

Seeing that the two of them were both in a coma, they called out: "Come on, bring cold water and wake them up."

Yu Cheng responded outside, the sound of footsteps went away, and after a while, he and another guard came in with basins of cold water, walked up to them and poured them over their heads.

"Well……"

"Hmm... hiss - ah..."

The icy river water poured down on the head, and two groans came. The two people who were held up woke up. Ling Zhen was too tired to move his eyes for a long time before opening them. The other Han Tao was knocked out three times. With a wound on his face, his painful face twitched. After struggling twice, he was bound tightly, and his arms could not move. Yao Gang, who was standing in front of him, immediately raised his eyebrows: "Strong thief! It's you!"

Yao Gang glanced at him, grimacing at the corner of his mouth, he didn't bother to answer the defeated opponent.

"But I don't know who you are?" Lu Bu didn't look at General Yu Sheng, but asked Ling Zhen who had woken up.

Ling Zhen raised his eyes to look at Lu Bu, then turned his head to look around, moved his body and said, "Can you untie the rope, the rope is too tight and won't work."

Lu Bu nodded, and the two soldiers beside him quickly untied Ling Zhen's rope. Ling Zhen rubbed his wrists, nodded his arms, and said, "Thank you for being a good man."

Looking at Han Tao who was standing there again, he ordered, "Untie his rope too."

Han Tao's mouth moved, and he grinned in pain. The tall figure walked a few steps aside, and Da Ma Jindao sat down: "Now the tie is untied, let's talk."

Ling Zhen raised his head slightly, looked at the crowd and lowered his head, saying: "The villain Ling Zhen is a gunner from Tokyo, to bombard Guizhai to drive all the good men down the mountain, so that General Huyan can set up an ambush to kill them."

"Bombardment?" Lu Bu thought for a while, a little lost: "But it's like a thunderbolt car?"

"No." There was a gleam of brilliance on Ling Zhen's dull face, and his expression was a little excited: "The villain used pig iron to cast an iron bucket, and ignited it with gunpowder. The projectiles fired can hit more than ten miles. If it is replaced with an iron fireball, it will kill more. Worse. It's a pity that the barrel of the gun burst when it was demonstrated to the Shangguan, and the Shangguan didn't value it. He said it was a waste of money and pig iron, and he didn't let the small ones try more. It took more than ten years of non-stop training in the cold and heat to achieve some small successes, and the small ones made thunderbolt balls and iron fireballs to kill soldiers..."

"Enough, stop for a while." The tall figure rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and stopped the other party from continuing: "I know, in short, you have the means to hit the cottage in the water, right? Such a long distance It’s really amazing, have you ever brought it with you? I want to see it.”

Ling Zhen's expression calmed down, he returned to his dull look, and nodded: "That's right, the village master is wise. Now the villain's experimental artillery is in the camp, but it's a pity that the village master can't show it."

Lu Bu frowned, and when he sat up straight, he caught a glimpse of Han Tao, who was staring at Ling Zhen with a tense expression, thoughtfully, and pointed at Ling Zhen opposite him: "Would you like to surrender?"

He leaned back and looked up at him: "Someone is also developing firearms here, but limited by the ingenuity of the people who do it, the things they have made have not made much progress. If you come, I will do my best to help you , it’s just that someone wants to see the results.”

"Let's just ask." Hong Tianlei hesitated a little on his dull face: "If the villain doesn't want to go up the mountain..."

A trace of seriousness flashed in the raised eyelids: "I killed myself."

Ling Zhen immediately knelt down on the ground: "Such a villain is willing to surrender, to meet my brother."

"Ling Zhen, you..." Han Tao panicked and was about to step forward, but Yao Gang pressed his shoulder and calmed down immediately.

"Han Tuanlian, the villain also has his own difficulties. He said that he is the number one gunner in Tokyo, but who really takes the villain seriously? It's only during the New Year's holidays that he remembered that there is such a gunner as the villain. Let him go to shoot for fun? Little Let alone pig iron, even the ration of gunpowder has been reduced to the minimum by the Shangguan, if things go on like this, when will the villain be able to do things as he pleases?" Frowning Hong Tianlei turned to look at the sitting figure: "Brother I said just now that I would like to help the villain with all my strength, but is it true?"

"It's true." The sitting figure waved his hands: "Pig iron, hands, whatever you want, just a little, I want to see those firearms you mentioned."

"This is the strength of the villain." The gunner who stood up had a look in his eyes, and he slapped his chest and said, "Brother, just wait and see."

"it is good!"

Lu Bu stood up and slapped his thighs to stand up: "Someone ordered someone to cooperate with you, Yu Cheng!"

The leader of the young guards came in with a crested ax in hand, and bowed his hands: "Brother."

"Immediately take someone to send Brother Ling Zhen up the mountain, and tell Kou Yan that this is a gunner from Tokyo, let him cooperate." Turning to look at Han Tao: "I wonder if you are willing to surrender?"

Han Tao looked at the figure that was much taller than himself, and took a breath: "We haven't been defeated yet, how can we surrender?"

"Then ask again after defeating XX." Waving his arm, he signaled to Yu Cheng: "Take him down too, send him to the mountain and lock him up. We'll talk about it after we beat the officers and soldiers."

"Yes!"

The burly young man looked at the two of them, and stretched out his hand: "You two, follow me!"

Ling Zhen stepped out without saying a word, Han Tao sighed and followed behind, Yu Cheng bowed his hands to Lu Bu again, then turned around and walked out of the big tent, calling for people to come and send Han and Ling up the mountain.

……

There was a rustling sound in the grass.

After the sky fell, the lights in the official and army tents never went out. Sitting in the commander's seat and reading the book of war, the double-whip general looked up at the night sky outside the tent from time to time. At a certain moment, he couldn't sit still anymore and threw the book on the table , walked out of the big tent: "What time is it?"

"Back to the coach, it's almost midnight."

The guard on duty at night heard the reply quickly, and the figure standing outside the tent walked two steps away with his hands behind his back, then turned and walked back, and a sentence came from the air: "Let Peng Qi come to the handsome tent to see me."

Immediately someone was ordered to leave, and after a while, Peng Qi hurried into the big tent, bowed and then stood up without saying a word.

Hu Yanzhuo's face twitched, since Peng Qi came back, he couldn't speak well. The military medical officer said that the mandible was hit by a thief with an ax handle, and his jaw was seriously injured. He needed to rest for a while to recover. Otherwise, there will be some root causes in the lightest.

"At this moment, it's just you and me, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony." Hu Yanzhuo saw his lips moving, and quickly said: "Young brother, sit down first, and listen to me first."

The opposite side nodded and sat down, Hu Yanzhuo stroked his beard, his face was a bit ugly: "Today Han Tao and Ling Zhen went to the west of Liangshan to survey the terrain, and they haven't come back yet, so they must be trapped in Liangshan."

Peng Qi's complexion changed, Hu Yanzhuo waved his hands: "I agree, we will break out of the camp and head towards Mount Liang tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Peng Qi opened his mouth to speak, but he grunted in pain.

Hu Yanzhuo looked at him and said: "I know what you want to say. The scouts in the army went to Liangshan to investigate in the past two days. It's not going well. It can be seen that there must be a reason for it. But now that our army is pressing down, we only need to be careful. No matter what he wants Whatever you do, you will definitely not be able to do what you want.”

Peng Qi nodded, and Hu Yanzhuo pressed his forehead: "You go back first, so that you can rest, and you will have to borrow Jun Wuyong in the future."

The Tianmu general tilted his head, bowed his hands and saluted and went out of the tent. For a while, there were only lit candles in the tent accompanied by the distressed double-whip general. What's the matter, how can it be so unsatisfactory."

……

twitter--

The sound of birds chirping echoed between the mountains and forests, and with the sound of flapping wings, countless birds of different types rushed out of the forest and flew away in panic to a farther place of silence.

The figure hiding on the hill stood up, looking at the flock of birds flying away with an ominous premonition, the horse tethered in the distance behind seemed to sense something, stepped on its hooves uneasily, and let out a restless snort.

"what happened?"

"There is thunder, is it going to rain?"

He raised his head and looked at the dense clouds: "This is not like a rain cloud..."

"Straight mother thief, it's cavalry!"

In the wilderness, thousands of cavalry trotted forward, and the sound of hooves blasted between the sky and the earth. The expression of the scout who was hiding changed, and he quickly turned around and rushed towards the mount.

"Let's go, the officers and soldiers are dispatched!"

"Women should be careful, there must be scouts from the army."

Amidst the voice, several horseshoes knocked on the ground, and went down the hill on the other side, and there seemed to be malicious transmission from the forest beside him. (end of this chapter)
