Water Margin Survival

There were dozens of miles of corpses, crying and wailing everywhere. .

The king of heaven, Li Cheng, has never encountered such a big defeat since he came from the army.Unexpectedly, at the hands of Liang Shanjun, who couldn't beat eight poles, he suffered the most tragic catastrophe in his life.

Seeing that the pursuers returned to the army and finally no one could be seen, Li Cheng sadly counted the soldiers around him. There were less than [-] horsemen, and they were less than a commanding force. There is only one left, and Li Cheng wants to cry but has no tears.

"I will pull all the scouts out and chop them up!" Li Cheng said angrily.

"Captain, we are all like this now, and we want to kill our own soldiers?" The left and right generals stepped forward to persuade.

"I'm going back, but I don't know how long I can carry this head! These fellows are used to playing and playing casually, so it's easy to kill him if I miss my army!" Li Cheng said in a deep voice.

The left and right dare not speak anymore, after all, the big defeat is in front of them, who would dare to risk their lives to plead for the dereliction of duty?In less than a while, dozens of heads were brought up. Li Cheng didn't even look at it at this moment, but turned his dark and frightening face, patted his horse and rushed to the city to meet the uncertain fate.

It is said that Li Cheng rushed back to the Daming Mansion with the remnant soldiers, and was caught by Wen Da, the big sword guarding the city. Seeing Li Cheng's face covered in blood, Wen Da was shocked and said, "Brother, how did you get into such a state!"

"Suo Chao, Zhou Jin, and Wang Ding have lost our military prestige, and my younger brother can escape with his life and come back, but he has no face to face his husband!" Li Cheng looked at his colleague Wen Da and said excitedly.

"What's going on? How can our army lose troops and lose generals?" Wen Da looked up, and there were only four hundred horses left beside Li Cheng, his head buzzed, and his expression became very embarrassing .

"Brother, the scouts have neglected their duties in every possible way. Where is the Erlongshan bandit that I am facing against? It is the troops from Liangshanpo, Jezhou, Jingdong. The light horse army has no less than 7000 people, and there are countless infantry. This time, little brother, I have won these guys. Plotting, the boat capsized in the gutter!" Li Cheng complained with a dejected face.

Seeing him like this, Wen Da let out a long sigh, turned around and said, "Bundup Li Dujian!"

Hearing this, Li Cheng quickly waved his hands and said, "No need! Just go to see your husband like this!"

Wen Da thought, this is fine, Xianggong is a soft-hearted person, seeing him like this, it is not easy to blame him, he immediately said: "There is no need to go in to report the news, I will go face-to-face with Li Dujian to report to the benefactor!"

The two walked into the left-behind department together. Seeing Li Cheng's miserable state, the soldiers guarding the gate whispered. Li Cheng turned a deaf ear and just strode in. At this time, Liang Zhongshu was talking and laughing with Wang Taishou, still waiting for Li Cheng's good news. Unexpectedly, when they saw Li Cheng's face covered with blood, the eager hearts of the two fell into a hole in the ice, and they froze on the spot.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, Li Cheng gritted his teeth and told the whole story about his failures. Liang Zhongshu suddenly stood up and walked up and down the hall, unable to calm down for a long time.After a long while, he pointed at Li Cheng and said in a trembling voice: "Four thousand elite soldiers go out, and four hundred remnant soldiers come back! Li Dujian, Li Dujian, tell me what to say about you! If you are brave for that thief , look at my city again, how many heads do you have, can you afford it?"

At this moment, the anger in Liang Zhongshu's heart had reached its peak. He didn't feel sorry for the loss of the more than 3000 imperial guards, but because of this battle, he saw the imminent crisis of the collapse of the Daming Palace.Even if Li Cheng was trusted by him again, he couldn't help but speak with a strong tone at this time.

"Enxiang, all young generals underestimate the enemy. I don't think that the opponent is not a grassroots thief from Erlong Mountain, but a strong bandit from Liangshanbo in Jeju! This time, the light horse army is 7000 people, and the infantry is countless! The young general... the young general made a big mistake It is indisputable to make a case, and please be kind and punish, and die without complaint!" Li Cheng knelt down on the ground, gouging the ground with his head, the blood on his face had already congealed, and when he met Liang Zhongshu face to face, his eyes were full of anger. Remorse and cowardice, looks like a bereaved dog, panicked.

Liang Zhongshu saw that Li Cheng, the valiant king of heaven in the past, had become what he is now, and he was angry, hated and pitiful. This person has followed him for a long time, and he was considered hardworking in the past. Unable to bear it, he immediately let out a long sigh and remained silent.

Seeing this, Wen Da knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master En, calm down, General Li is seriously injured, please allow him to go down to heal his injuries. Don't worry, Mrs. En, the walls of my Daming Mansion are as high as gold soup, and the young general will definitely try his best to protect the city. The thief succeeded!"

"Li Dujian, Wen Dujian! You really think about it. In the past hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, have you ever heard that the Daming Mansion was broken by anyone? Even when the Liao Kingdom invaded in a big way, it never broke down my city. If that Two dragons... Liangshan bandits broke the city, and even if we don't die on the battlefield, it will be difficult to explain to the court when we turn around! When Liang Shijie is mentioned in the future, everyone in the court will say that the Daming Mansion was lost in the hands of this person Right now!" Right now, Liang Zhongshu couldn't care less to ask why Liangshanpo was invaded by the bandits, and now tens of thousands of people have come to the city, and they have already fought each other. What's the use of investigating the reason?

From the moment Li Cheng came in to report the funeral, Wang Taishou listened to it for a long time, and he was also very anxious. Now that he can sit in this position, the imperial court naturally has Austrian support, but it can't match the relationship between Liang Shijie and Cai Jing.Liang Shijie lost the Daming Mansion, and his father-in-law excused him, so in the end, he couldn't be hit by himself?

At this time, the situation does not allow him to be obsequious, so he got up and said: "My lord, there are 3 river laborers conscripted in the suburbs outside the city, why don't we transfer them to the city together and help Wen Dujian to beat him up, that would be good! "

Liang Zhongshu glanced at Wang Zhifu, sighed, this person is not entirely a fool, nodded slightly and said: "You send someone to pass the order, and they must be withdrawn into the city as soon as possible. Left and right! Talk to me about Wen Xiang, Ci, Ming, En, Bo, and Yi states, tell them to send troops to rescue quickly! Then report to the imperial court, and send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Liang Shijie stabilized his mind, looked at the three people in front of him and said: "Listen, everyone, my Daming Mansion is one of the four capitals of the dynasty. It is an important defense town in Hebei. Not to mention the confession between the Fa and the imperial court, even everyone here may not end well!"

Wang Wancang got up quickly when he heard the words, together with Wen Da and Li Cheng who were prostrate on the ground, they said: "Your official (youth general) dare not do your best to share your worries!"

"Go...go... let's go to your duties!" After Liang Zhongshu finished speaking, he slumped on the armchair, staring at the sharp knife in the hands of the guards outside the hall, and said in a daze: "This is a good head. , who should kill it?"

Wang Taishou somehow came out of Liang Zhongshu's mouth with such words inexplicably, his face turned pale with fright, and the two generals Wen Da and Li Cheng were even more frightened, they kowtowed to the ground, claiming death penalty.Liang Zhongshu waved his hand feebly, motioning them to go out, the three of them dared not speak any more, bowed and retreated.

When the three of them exited the hall, Wang Wancang looked at the two grasshoppers on the same rope beside him, and said goodbye, "You two, let's do it for ourselves!"

Li Cheng was ashamed and speechless, Wen Da sighed and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.At this moment, several people came over, and when Li Cheng saw them, he said angrily: "Suo Chao, Zhou Jin, you guys still have the face to come back! Come on, pull down with me, and report by beheading!"

The sergeants on the left and right were about to step forward to grab someone, and Zhou Jin was still arguing, but was pulled by Suo Chao, and finally bowed her head in silence, just letting the people bind her, Wen Da said when she saw this, "Wait a minute!" Wen Da waved his hand, waved back the soldiers, and persuaded Li Chengdao: "Brother, now is the time for employing people, the most urgent task is to guard the city, don't ask the husband to blame, you just kill them now, what's the use of it! "

Li Cheng cursed and stopped talking. Wen Da said to the two of them: "Leave your two heads and defend the city with me. If you get credit, you will be punished by death!"

……

Just when the city was in chaos, Huaishupo was full of joy. Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Tang Bin, Zhang Qing and other four battalions of horsemen had taken the prisoners and captured them back, handing them over to Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin's battalions The infantry was taken in and guarded, Fan Rui and three lieutenants led the headquarters to guard outside the village, but Li Kui sat on the sidelines and sulked. This battle was fought by the horse army, but he left his two axes smoldering. So uncomfortable.

"Tell the brothers in Ma Ying to go back to rest and recuperate, and you will take the guards with you to be responsible for guarding the camp!" Seeing that the battlefield had been cleaned, Wang Lun instructed Han Shizhong and Lu Fang.

The two took the order to go. At this time, Lin Chong discussed with Tang Bin, Yang Zhi, and Zhang Qing for a while, and came forward to report to Wang Lun and the two military advisers: "This time, the Daming Mansion mobilized eight battalions of cavalry. Cheng led more than [-] riders to escape, and the others were either killed or captured. In today's battle, more than [-] complete and usable war horses, more than [-] pairs of bows and arrows, more than [-] arrows, and armor were captured. There are more than [-] items, and the rest are still being counted, and more than [-] people have been captured, and more than [-] enemies have been killed!"

"How much is our loss?" Wang Lun was still concerned about the casualties of the Shanzhai brothers as usual.

"Little brother, 13 people were killed and 32 were injured, and Yang Zhishi lost 63 people, of which 36 were killed. Brothers Tang Bin and Zhang Qing intercepted and killed them in the front. The number of brothers killed in battle exceeded 130% of the soldiers in the battalion, [-] and [-] respectively, no brothers were killed in the infantry, and only a dozen or so brothers in the battalion were slightly injured!" Lin Chong reported back, and he also I knew Wang Lun's habit, so I knew about it beforehand.

"Send all the injured brothers to Huitian Camp, and ask Doctor An to treat them with all their strength! All the remains of the brothers who died in battle should be brought back to the mountain village for a proper burial!" Wang Lun sighed. After all the battles were fought like this, the imperial army of the Daming Mansion could still maintain their defeat and not collapse. Nearly 200 of his own brothers were killed in battle. It seems that Li Cheng still has some skills.

Xu Guanzhong silently thought about the comparative figures of destroying [-] enemies, capturing [-] prisoners, killing [-] enemies, and self-inflicted damage of [-], and he was amazed.

According to his original estimate, if the personal abilities of the soldiers of the Liangshan Horse Army can reach [-]% of the level of the Daming Mansion's Forbidden Army, defeating the opponent by virtue of their numerical advantage this time will be regarded as achieving their goal.I don't want the Liangshan troops to be on the battlefield, they are so brave, they killed all the famous members of the Daming Mansion until they threw away their helmets and armor, and dared not look back!

Although he made a mistake in his estimation this time, Xu Guanzhong didn't feel depressed at all, but instead had a feeling of excitement filling his chest.Perhaps Xiao Jiasui's words were not wrong, and he should really grasp this rare opportunity in this life. (To be continued.)
