Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 261
When the sky darkened, candles were lit in the room. Four people wearing thick clothes sat down in the room. The ugly-looking man poured hot water into the teacup. Then several people held it and watched the steaming heat. Trance.

"Aren't we going to sit here all night?" A cold female voice sounded, and Hu Sanniang, who was the first to speak, took a sip of hot water: "There are no charcoal fires on the left and right sides for heating. If you didn't tell me, girl, I will go back first and return the blanket." It could be warmer.”

"Don't worry, little sister." Hu Cheng glanced at Li Ying and Du Xing with a wry smile. With understanding in their eyes, he said, "I just don't know how to say it for a moment."

"Isn't it about the killings from Liangshan? The door has been blocked. The bonfire outside Zhuangzi is so bright that even a blind man can see it. What else is there to say?" The fast-talking woman rolled her pretty almond eyes: "Go ahead and talk. , at this time, you and I, the four people under house arrest, can’t do anything without weapons?”

"It's not necessarily that there isn't..." Li Ying, who was sitting next to him, hesitated: "It's just... it's not time yet."

The hesitant words attracted the attention of several people. Hu Sanniang was impatient and turned to look: "If you have any ideas, please tell me."

"Yes, Brother Li, please tell me what I can do." Hu Cheng's eyes lit up and he looked to the opposite side anxiously.

Although it was only for a period of time, when were the Hu brothers and sisters trapped in the courtyard and unable to enter or exit?They all wished they could run home immediately.

"I don't want to take it as an advice, but I just have a stupid way." Pu Tiandiao, who smiled bitterly, sat forward and lowered his voice: "Let's see if Liangshan's offensive is fierce during this period. If so, we may not be able to pick up a weapon. When the time comes, I can repay the Zhu family a favor or two."

"What do you mean?" The girl named Yi Zhangqing looked at her brother.

The man over there was thoughtful, unconsciously touching his chin with his fingers, and nodded after a while: "It's very possible. Only Luan Tingyu came back today, and it looks like he suffered a lot of losses."

"It must have been a lot of damage. I heard that the people in Zhuangzi were crying a lot louder." The ugly man who had been listening suddenly interrupted.

"Then let's wait and see. It's better to give up your family fortune than lose your life."

"But I think it's better than being swallowed by others."

The men who were talking looked at each other with ugly smiles. Hu Sanniang looked around: "What are you talking about?"

Hu Cheng smiled at his sister and said to the other side: "It's just that he might be killed casually, but that's not necessarily the case."

"It depends on your fate. It's better than the fate you have decided now."

The squinting officer said something, and while the other person nodded, the girl said angrily: "What on earth did you two say?"

Soon after, Hu Cheng took his pouting sister back to the room.

……

The cold wind at night was freezing, and the temperature in the room where the coals were lit was like a spring day. The brocade clothes she wore showed off the girl's figure, and the lights flickered, and her face became more charming.

"I heard clearly from behind this afternoon. What Teacher Luan said is actually right. You can't keep it by yourself."

Liu Huiniang moved her lotus steps lightly and walked slowly in the hall. Yunlong and Zhu Yongqing, who were sitting in their seats, looked at each other and frowned. The voice of the girl over there continued to come: "The terrain around Dulonggang is unique, Liangshan Although people like you have seen through Pantuo Road, the surrounding terrain may not be more familiar than you and me."

"What Huiniang means..." Zhu Yongqing looked at the girl above: "Take the initiative?"

"It should be to set up an ambush to defeat the enemy." Yunlong sneered.

"I don't know who set up an ambush today and was killed." Zhu Yongqing didn't even look at his cousin, and his words made the young master blush.

"you……"

"Stop arguing!" The female voice above said with a bit of annoyance: "If we don't agree with the outside world, how will we get through this hurdle?"

The two young men glared at each other angrily, then turned their heads. The girl continued as if she hadn't seen him: "If the ambush is to be set up in the mountains, forests and grass, I would like some people to go out tonight and lay an ambush, and we will attack when the war starts tomorrow." If the army among them fails, we will lead the people to the ambush place."

"Then I will let Uncle Wang and Uncle Wei take charge of this matter tomorrow!" The new head of the Zhu family stood up with blazing eyes: "I will definitely live up to Hui Niang's expectations."

"I wish you a great success."

As the girl nodded, the betrothed husband beside her looked livid.

……

The next day, the sun still failed to break through the thick clouds, and a circle of light appeared in the lead-colored clouds. Looking straight into the past made me feel vaguely uncomfortable.

On the stone city wall, there are complete equipment for spears and spears. Zhujiazhuang's Xiangyong tightened his spear and wooden shield in his hand. The man carrying the long bow pursed his lips tightly. Zhu Wannian and Zhu Biao were running back and forth loudly. After cheering up and glancing outside, I felt a little frightened. A series of camps were rising from the ground. Looking from a distance, I could feel the chilling atmosphere.

In addition to horse infantry soldiers, Liangshan's expedition was also followed by many young craftsmen and field soldiers. The tasks of this group of people were to set up anza camps, set up antlers, resist horses, assemble simple siege equipment, and chop wood for cooking, etc. Handyman.

It is also because of the existence of these field soldiers who are equivalent to hard labor that the village soldiers in Liangshan do not need to be distracted by debris. At this time, they are well rested and full of energy. They look at the manor in front of them with murderous eyes.

dong dong dong-

The war drums beat, and then the horns sounded. The exciting sound stimulated people's hearts. Groups of Liangshan village soldiers walked out of the village gate carrying swords and shields. The distant sound made the people on the city wall tighten their weapons.

The trembling sound of the eardrums became louder and louder. When it reached the peak, the black crowd moved slowly towards them in formation. The roaring footsteps resonated with the earth, and the trembling movement continued, seeming to shake the walls of the city. Brave heart.

"Looking at this scale, there must be 5000 people." Zhu Long swallowed. The gun in his hand seemed a little slippery. He realized the next moment and quickly wiped his palms clean on the sleeves of his robe.

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Biao looked outside with a cold face, lowered his spear and replaced it with a long bow: "We have about the same number of people, so we have an advantage in defending the city."

"Xiangyong is a newcomer who has never seen blood..." Zhu Long hesitated and shook his head: "Difficult!"

"Why do I feel that something is wrong?" Zhu Hu looked outside for a long time while standing on the battlement, then turned to the two brothers and said: "Dalang, Sanlang, people with such military appearance... really come to Dulonggang secretly to kill people?" Next , the flag was fluttering, and the stopped footsteps made a roar. Then the Liangshan Village soldiers who were divided into four square formations stood silently. The assembled rush carts and ladders were slowly pushed into the formation. Under the Liangshan banner, Lu Bu, who was riding a fiery red horse, did not send anyone to shout. He raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and said: "Attack——"

woohoo-

The horn sounded, and the front line began to move. Under the two flags of Xie and Tang, they began to charge towards the city wall. Arrows in the air were like locusts, staggering down. People pushing the ladders were constantly hit by arrows and fell down, and then their colleagues held up the Shield comes over to take over and continue.

On the city wall, there was a Xiangyong who watched his companions being hit by arrows. He couldn't bear the panic in his heart and wanted to retreat. Then he was stabbed to death by Yunlong who was supervising the battle. He yelled loudly to hold on to his position, thinking about his home behind him. Yun Yun, not far away. Luan Tingyu, who was standing there, turned the octagonal cooked copper stick and punched it on the ground. The spikes on the head of the stick shone with an icy cold light. The person holding the stick looked coldly at the approaching big guy.

In the field of vision, the ladder suddenly stopped. In the frightened eyes on the city wall, the ladder was stretched out and set up on the stone wall. Hundreds of figures roared in unison and climbed up with swords and shields in their hands. The bloody fight began at this moment.

Zhu Wannian kept running on the city wall, shouting and commanding the defense. The three sons of the Zhu family in front put aside their doubts, gritted their teeth and shot arrows downwards. The buzzing sound was trembling, and every arrow was sure to hit. They were quickly commanded by the subordinates below. Sun An and Tang Bin discovered that they ordered the archers to focus on the section of the city wall where the three of them were, and quickly forced them to hide their heads.

As the arrows criss-crossed, there were climbing figures who dropped their arrows, and some people with red eyes suddenly leaned out half of their bodies and drew their bows downwards to shoot. Then they were hit in the chest by flying arrows, and blood suddenly poured out of the wounds. His armor was stained red, and he fell down with a shrill scream, falling onto the snow below. Dark red plasma poured out from his mouth and nose, and the liquid flowing out from the back of his head quickly dyed the surrounding area bright red.

The arrows that crisscrossed back and forth did not stop the climbing figure. More steps stepped onto the ladder. The hand holding the shield diagonally was as steady as a rock. He climbed up with a knife in one hand. When the shield was hit, there was a trembling feeling. In his eyes, The city wall is near.

"kill!"

Amidst the shrill shouts, someone climbed up from the ladder, and the swords and soldiers clashed. One by one, the village soldiers who climbed up raised their swords and jumped into the city wall. Some people were stabbed in the body by several spears in mid-air, and were thrown down. Some were unprepared and were hacked to the ground with a knife. Then more figures jumped up the city wall. There was a loud sound of metal. The three sons of the Zhu family, Luan Tingyu and Yunlong rushed forward, swung their guns and sticks together, and killed the soldiers who came up. On the spot, it was lucky that the gap was not widened.

For a time, the battle on the front wall was fierce, with people on each other's fronts being injured and killed every moment. Then more people filled in, and the sound of fighting and shouting filled the world.

……

In the woods on one side, Wei Yangyin, who looked a little stiff, raised his head and mounted his horse: "It's our turn!"

Behind him, hundreds of warriors holding weapons looked as if their faces were sinking.

……

"Drum roll! Cheer!"

Lu Bu looked at the battle ahead with a normal expression. His low voice echoed in everyone's ears, and the exciting drumbeats sounded in the wilderness. The charging figure suddenly became energetic.

"Come on!" Huan Qi snatched the shield from the soldier's hand, picked up the steel fork and climbed up the ladder.

"kill--"

Seeing the deputy commander coming forward, the village soldiers couldn't help but feel boosted in morale. They clenched their swords and followed closely, deflecting the incoming arrows and throwing spears. They climbed up, passed the collision in the ditch in front, and listened to Jin Bigui's broken gong voice. Approaching the door with a roar...

On the city wall, more and more people were fighting. Yunlong glanced at Xiang Yong who had fallen to the ground with a serious look on his face. When he looked outside, he gritted his teeth and muttered: "Mother Zhu Yongqing, if you don't come to the city wall, you will be in danger."

Then he rushed forward and slashed the Liangshan village soldiers who came up. Just before he was about to kill him, a steel fork roared towards his face and stabbed him.

"what!"

Yunlong suddenly rolled to the side, passed the tip of the fork, and raised his head. A trace of blood appeared on the side of his face. The young man who felt the pain wiped it with his hand. When he saw the blood on his hand, he became furious: "You ugly ghost! How dare you! Hurt me!"

Huan Qi's ugly face was startled, and then he stabbed Zhuang Yong to death with a fork. He stepped forward with a wide grin and said, "You Rabbit, don't go to the battlefield for fear of getting hurt!" Behind him, a brave soldier came up from the ladder. He jumped down and slashed at the surrounding heroes with his sword.

Yunlong suddenly stood up and stabbed him with his sword. Huan Qi didn't have to give in. Relying on the long handle of the steel fork in his hand and his weight, he raised the fork and stabbed it fiercely. The young master's side was turned aside and he wanted to take the opportunity to step forward. .

Huan Qi, however, used both arms to swing hard and hit the opponent's chest with a bang. As soon as his hands went wrong, the steel fork was about to stab down.

"Ugly men should not hurt anyone!"

Amidst the shouting, the octagonal cooked copper stick was fiercely whipped with the sound of howling wind. Huan Qi quickly raised the steel fork with both hands and slammed it down, but he couldn't help it and took three or four steps back.

The middle-aged teacher who rushed over was unreasonable and rushed forward waving a stick. Yunlong covered his chest and raised his head to look. He saw the stick and the steel fork colliding several times. In the sound of metal trembling, the stick struck. He pressed it on Naohai Yaksha's chest, staggering back, waving his hands, and hit his head hard with the spiked stick. The sound of broken bones was heard, and the ugly man fell to the ground on the spot, no longer breathing.

"Hurry up! There is no time to be lazy on the battlefield!" With shouts, the middle-aged man rushed forward, swiped left and right, and immediately killed several Liangshan village soldiers to the ground.

Yunlong's face turned red, and he quickly turned over and sat up, charging forward with his long sword, but his eyes kept unconsciously scanning outside the city, looking for something.

At this time, a team suddenly rushed out of the woods on the side and rushed towards Liangshan Dabin with a decisive momentum.

……

Under the clouds, the sound of war drums continued, and the cold wind blew the flags, making a hunting sound.

The two cavalry troops lined up behind. As the last force to defend the commander's flag, a pair of eyes eager to fight looked at the city wall, licking their dry lips, suppressing the excitement in their chests, but still having to soothe their hips. Get off the same restless mount.

The figure of the leader is wearing a fitted battle armor and a scarlet cloak. He looks dignified, but he has a majestic look. The black-poled Fangtian painted halberd is placed across the horse's back, and a pair of tiger eyes are looking at the battlefield ahead. .

Occasionally, the flaming red horse under him stirred, and he stretched out his big hand to touch the neck of the horse, but there was still no anxiety. Then he looked to the rear, and Niu Gao, holding two maces, rode over: "Brother, there is an enemy coming from the rear left. , about the number of people in a battalion!”

"At this time...heh, I don't know what to say!" The figure holding the halberd pulled the reins and looked to the side at the man in the green dragon armor: "Du Bo is sitting here, Xiao Haili and Feng Tai are leading their troops to protect the two wings. , Niu Gao and a certain person defeated the intruder."

The figure who was ordered held the Zhangba snake spear and warned: "Brother, be careful of fraud."

When Chitu turned around and took steps, a deep and heroic voice sounded: "It must be a scam to show up at this time, but I don't have anything to be afraid of."
