Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

In the woods, Zong Ying stood up suddenly, and the dead leaves on his body fell down as he stood up.

Pull the bow to the full moon, aim at the person on the horse, and let go.

Whoosh whoosh—

Arrows were falling in the light and shadow in the woods on both sides. Wu Yong was a smart man. He jumped out from his horse as soon as the gong sounded and fell to the ground with a bang. Song Jiang was pulled off his horse by Dai Zong at the side, but he was unlucky. Zong Ying was shooting at him, and his body tilted and was shot by the arrow from the back of the shoulder. "Ah!" Dai Zong screamed in shock and quickly pressed him to the ground with his hands, not daring to get up.

Wu Song yelled "Enemy attack--", pulled over a wooden shield to block it, used his sword to knock away the arrows, and ran to rescue Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang.

The bandits around were also in a panic. Kong Ming turned around and tried to run, but was shot through the cheek by an arrow from nowhere. He jumped three feet high in pain. Zong Ying was angry that he could not shoot Song Jiang to death. Seeing someone jumping high, he immediately shot an arrow at him. He saw the arrow piercing his throat and heard a sad cry of "Brother!"

"Shoot arrows again and again, charge!"

Zong Ze's loud voice rang out in the woods. A messenger blew a bamboo whistle from the back. The archer stood up and walked forward, shooting an arrow with every step. Screams continued to ring out in front. After shooting three arrows, he put down the bow, then drew his sword and grabbed his gun.

Take a step.

On the battlefield, people kept falling down after being shot by arrows. The bandits from Dengyun Mountain had already suffered setbacks when attacking the city. They were injured and their morale was low. The rain of arrows falling from both sides made people panic in an instant. Zou Run and Zou Yuan, uncle and nephew, were shot by several arrows while turning around. They fell to the ground with their eyes wide open and were silent.

Mu Chun was shot through the arm by an arrow. In fear, he gritted his teeth and ran forward desperately. Li Kui took out his axe, "Ahhh——" he blocked the arrow, roared, and was about to rush forward to fight.

"Iron Bull!" Dai Zong helped Song Jiang, whose face was covered in sweat, stand up and shouted, "Come back and protect your brother!"

Li Kui turned around suddenly and saw Song Jiang's face full of pain. He shouted, "Brother," and hurried over, grabbed Song Jiang and put him on his back and ran away. Dai Zong protected him with a long sword behind him. Wu Yong looked around and saw that the rain of arrows had stopped. He quickly stood up and ran without saying a word.

In just a few breaths, the government soldiers wearing leather armor rushed out shouting "Kill!" and slashed with long swords in their hands. The surviving minions on both sides were swallowed up in an instant, and the defeated bandits fled in all directions like birds and beasts.

Li Jun, who was rushing over from behind, saw this and shouted, "Enter the forest!" He took Tong Wei, Tong Meng and other young men who came out of Xunyang River and fled for their lives, completely ignoring the screams coming from their ears.

Wu Song managed to find Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang in a panic, but one of them was shot in the shoulder and the other in the abdomen. "Hurry up!" he urged, and Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and carried Sun Erniang on his back. Seeing several soldiers coming to kill him, the tiger-fighting hero roared like a tiger, killed one of them first, and then kicked the approaching soldier away, knocking his comrade behind him to the ground. He turned around to look at Zhang Qing, holding his knife and making a defensive posture: "Let's go--"

The three men retreated in panic. Wu Song knocked down the pursuing figures one after another. They gradually ran dozens of feet away and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no more pursuers. Zhang Qing had just put his wife down when he heard the rustling sound of leaves. Wu Song quickly swung his knife.

Duan Sanniang walked out from behind a nearby tree, leading Duan Er and Duan Wu. The six of them looked at each other with twelve eyes, and the fair-skinned Duan Sanniang said, "Tsk—you three actually made it out."

Wu Song put away his posture and said, "I'm glad that the three brothers and sisters are okay."

Duan Er and Duan Wu smiled bitterly, while Duan Sanniang curled her lips and said, "Humph - it was all because of that idiot Song Jiang who wanted to attack the city. Now that he has fled, none of us have anywhere to go back."

"Shut up, you know nothing." Zhang Qing covered his shoulder and looked at Duan Sanniang fiercely: "Brother was also thinking about all of us, but I didn't expect the government troops to be so cunning and set an ambush halfway."

"So he is stupid. He was ambushed and didn't even realize it."

Wu Song frowned and pointed his knife: "You, my lady, are full of stupid words, but you are challenging Wu Song's patience!"

"Why would I be afraid of you?" Duan Sanniang patted her chest, her life force shaking. "If you have the guts, fight me to the death!"

"Do you think I don't dare?!" Wu Song took a step forward angrily.

"No, no, no--" Duan Er and Duan Wu hurriedly came out, one to comfort Wu Song and the other to comfort Duan Sanniang: "We are brothers who eat and drink from the same pot, why do we have to point swords at each other? You too, Sanniang, just say less." Duan Sanniang snorted.

Duan Er looked at Wu Song and said, "Please bear with me, brother. Sanniang is just a little impatient, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Wu Song had lived with the Duan family for some time and knew Duan Sanniang's character. Upon hearing this, he put down his knife.

"Brothers, this is not the place to talk. Let's go first, so as to avoid being chased by the enemy." Duan Er looked back and saw figures swaying in the distance, and the sound of shouting and fighting could be heard faintly: "Let's talk about anything when we are safe."

The rest of the people had no objection to this. Duan Sanniang took the initiative to help Sun Erniang. Wu Song and Zhang Qing looked at them, said nothing, and followed the Duan brothers into the depths of the forest.

……

at the same time.

On the forest trail, footsteps stepped on the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the blood-stained leaves flew up. Zong Ying, holding a knife, led hundreds of people and rushed into the flock of sheep like a mad tiger. Not only did he kill the people outside, but he also surrounded his comrades on the opposite side.

Kong Liang was holding the body of his brother and was a step slower in running. He was killed by the soldiers and surrounded by the minions. He took a look at Kong Ming in his arms, put him on the ground, drew his knife and shouted, and rushed forward. He chopped down with his knife, but was blocked by the opponent. When he wanted to draw his knife again, a spear stabbed from the back of the opponent's soldier and pierced his stomach. He let out a "uh..." cry, and before he could say anything, the opponent's knife chopped back and he fell to the ground immediately.

The huge chaos was still sweeping over from the rear. The sunlight in the sky was a little dim, and the incandescent sunlight began to turn golden. When Sun Li and others ran over, the ambush troops of the government army in front had gathered together, and were charging towards the rear with spears and knives.

With an ambush in front and pursuers behind, Bing Yuchi dared not charge forward. He looked at the woods on the left, not caring about the branches and twigs, and quickly pulled the reins and ran inside.

The government troops behind him ignored him and rushed forward, surrounding the gangsters together. The sounds of fighting and shouting lasted for half an hour before they died down.

Zong Ze also shot two bandits dead with his bow. Seeing that the battle was over, he walked out of the forest and looked at the surviving government troops: "Quickly clean up the battlefield, pick up some corpses, see how many bandits have been caught, take the injured to the side for treatment, and tie up the surviving bandits and take them back to the city."

He paused, looked at the eager eyes and curved his lips: "Not bad this time, when we return to the barracks, everyone will get a reward."

"Thank you, Judge Zong!"

The government troops cheered, then drew their swords and walked towards the groaning people.

It's getting dark.

……

The night is quiet, and the bright moon is shining brightly in the sky.

On a hill ten miles away from Dengyun Mountain, thieves came in twos and threes, each with a dejected look on their face.

Song Jiang sat dejectedly on the bluestone with a bonfire burning in front of him. Li Kui was lying beside him covered in blood and Wu Yong was applying medicine to his wounds.

"Brother, Dengyun Mountain is gone." Wu Yong poured the powder on Li Kui's wound. The black fellow shuddered in pain. He turned around and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

The bandits, who were looking down, looked over. (End of this chapter)
