Water Margin Survival

The carnival in Liangshan is destined to be the end of the army.

Just when many leaders on the golden beach were vying to witness Hu Yanzhuo's real heavy cavalry, Gao Li's [-] infantry was already in a desperate situation.

The forward of the official army who hadn't fought face to face with the Liangshan Army heard that he had lost out of nowhere, and it was still a disastrous defeat.News from all directions and various channels told them that the central army and the rear army were finished.Tens of thousands of bandit cavalry (actually only [-]) appeared from nowhere, and attacked the infantry ranks that had lost the protection of the cavalry and were marching in a hurry from all directions.

The three giants Jing Zhong, Li Congji, and Zhou Ang, who were in charge of commanding the rear army, all rationally chose the strong man to cut off his wrist, and hid in a nearby village with the striker who had not been attacked for the time being. With a complete city wall system, although it has been in decline for a long time, it is enough to resist the cavalry group that dominates the plains. The three people were overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the good luck of the officers and soldiers has not been used up, and there are even more strange things waiting for them.

The people of Qilu, who have always regarded Liangshan as their own, and instead regarded the officers and soldiers as their enemies, this time they supported the officers and soldiers very enthusiastically, almost bringing tears to the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army who had suffered from the cold eyes and grievances of the people on their own land. , everyone was moved to inquire about the name of the village here. It turned out that the name of this place is Dulonggang, and this village is called Zhujiazhuang.

"If Liangshan hadn't committed evil and cut down all the forests in front of and behind our village, the officials might not be able to find a way to come in! The people in our village have been waiting for so long, and finally you are here! These lawless The thief. It should be uprooted!"

Some villagers who were more excited than the officers and soldiers said so.Just look up.The average age of this group of people is probably less than 20 years old, let alone gray-haired old people, even middle-aged people are rare in the crowd.

This abnormal enthusiasm made the officers and soldiers secretly vigilant, and carefully inquired about their origin with Liangshan.It turned out that Liang Shan broke through this village a year or two ago.At that time, the family of the owner of the village died unexpectedly. Although ordinary villagers were fine, and money and food were distributed, the seeds of hatred were planted in this way, and in the friction in the future, they quietly grew.

"I think our village used to say that there is no difference in this Dulonggang. If there is water, we will water it first. If there is land, we will occupy it first. The daughters in the other two villages are proud to marry into our village. , Now it’s good! The Hu family village relied on the two thieves Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang, and the Li family village also relied on Li Ying to fall into the grass in Liangshan. The two villages did not say hello to us when the water was opened. The daughter also refused to marry us. On our village. You still want to go back the land that was previously assigned to our village. Officials, tell me, aren’t these fellows too bullying? We can only bear it when we are angry. Now, now that the imperial court is finally looking forward to conquering these guys, the officials are going to make decisions for us!"

How did these farts reach the ears of the preoccupied generals, and they were relieved only after confirming that there was a real enmity between this village and Liangshan.Zhou Ang casually arranged some military officers to dismiss this group of brats, and went up to the tower with the two Jiedu envoys to discuss important military affairs.

"Now that the people's hearts are available, I'm not afraid of internal strife in this village!" Jing Zhong let out a foul breath.Said: "I just don't understand where Liangshan gathered these tens of thousands of cavalry to launch a sneak attack on our army? Didn't the Taiwei say that they found more than [-] main forces in Liangshan and told us to move closer quickly? Who is it?"

"Anyway, it's not our own!" Li Congji sighed, and said calmly: "It's hard for us to protect ourselves now, so we can only stick to it and wait for help. I hope that the news of our attack will be known to the main force in time!"

"We have more than 7 people, and there are only 3 people around the Taiwei. Who do you think is the main force? We can't help the Taiwei, and we can't hold him back!" Jing Zhong subconsciously retorted.This is the first time that Gao Lian entrusted him with the important task of leading the army. As a result, more than half of the 3 infantry was lost, and there were only [-] or [-] people left, and they were forced to go out of the village. , he really didn't know how to explain it.

"More than 3 cavalry are not the main force? If we hadn't taken all these people out, we would have been in such a mess along the way? So much so that people are chasing sheep, running around! If we didn't bump into this Zhuangzi in a diagonal stab, we still have Is there an opportunity to discuss some countermeasures here?" Although Li Congji deliberately omitted the object of the accusation, his tone was still very fierce.Everyone is an ordinary Jiedu envoy, don't think that if you take refuge in Gao Lian, you can overwhelm others.

The two Jiedu envoys stood up, Zhou Ang, a lowly official, couldn't get in the way. From his heart, he also believed that this defeat had a great relationship with the loss of the cavalry support, but Gao Qi was absolutely invincible. Don't dare and can't criticize, so I have no choice but to say:

"The enemy is at present, and I hope that the two gentlemen should stay calm. The current situation is unclear, and we should not act rashly. The Taiwei may have defeated the main force of Liangshan at this time. As long as we stick to it and wait for help, there will always be a way out!" Zhou Ang finished, Pay close attention to Jing Zhong's reaction, for fear that he will take the risk of approaching Gao Lian regardless of the actual situation.

Unexpectedly, Jing Zhong went downhill with Zhou Ang's words.To put it bluntly, his rear army was the first to be attacked by the Liangshan army. Although Li Congji was hateful, he was right in saying that the infantry who were caught off guard in front of the swarming cavalry were really like herding sheep. He didn't even open up the formation, and was rushed to pieces by the opponent.At this time, no matter how fast the panic spreads, it is not as fast as the thief's horseshoe.If Jing Zhong hadn't seen a bad opportunity and resolutely abandoned the army and fled, he might have become a prisoner of Liangshan at this time.

"This commander also agrees with General Zhou's opinion, stick to it and wait for help!"

Jing Zhong's suffocation did not make Li Congji feel any pleasure. The battle ended like this, which made the old army feel ashamed and depressed.

Zhou Ang nodded, and was about to add some words, when suddenly his stomach growled unbearably, and he couldn't help cursing secretly, saying: "I have been busy for a long time, and I haven't eaten yet. Just now, the brothers were in a hurry to go in lightly, and put away the extra things. They are all lost. According to the young general, it is better to collect food and grass in this village on the spot, and deal with it for a while!"

Jing Zhong didn't even lift his eyelids, and said: "It's rare that the people here are simple and enthusiastic, and I don't know how to repay them. Then give them some face. Please eat them a few times!"

Facing the enthusiastic people, the officers and soldiers who were hungry at first were still a little embarrassed to ask for food and drink directly, but secretly complained in their hearts that these people were ignorant, and their mouths were so enthusiastic, why didn't they eat pots of milk and reward them? Celestial soldiers?Just at this time, the bosses ordered, and they didn't care about their skin.In front of these people, I proposed to go to their home to solve the belly problem.

The younger students who were still emotional just now, this time they were completely turned off.Someone asked cautiously: "Military men are fighting without bringing rations?"

"What are you talking about!? Masters risked their lives on the battlefield, not because of you people who have been oppressed by Liangshan? Now that you have a meal, you are here to feel happy and push back! Why should we help you? To fight Liangshan?"

After the baseless warmth is torn apart, there is a naked and powerful relationship.In their creed, it is not a day or two for soldiers to eat ordinary people. Could it be that you make an exception if you say a few words of support?I saw the officers unceremoniously assigned their subordinates.Three or five people go to the east house, and seven or eight people go to the west house. It’s fine if the common people don’t want to cook.

Just now I can't wait to beat Zhujiazhuang with gongs and drums.At this time, there was already a lot of bitter noise.A few inexperienced fools gathered together, you looked at me, I looked at him, and said angrily: "Why is this? Even the Liangshan bandit who killed a thousand swords came, and I haven't seen anyone who robbed our house." Cow!"

The elders of the families who couldn't offend the officers and soldiers turned out of the yard angrily, holding big sticks in their hands, and went all over the village to vent their anger on their own unlucky children, hitting and cursing: "You dog, you know so much. Just follow around and make troubles to your own family, how can the old Zhu family get rid of your things!"

……

"Go back and tell Xu Ning, don't think that a sneak attack can change the fate of Liangshan's destruction! The Taiwei's reinforcements will arrive in no time, and I would advise him to recognize the general situation and make plans early. Don't wait for the heavenly soldiers to arrive. , it’s going to be hard anyway!”

Zhou Ang's words were half bold and half true.It is courageous because the two people in front of and behind Zhujiazhuang were tightly blocked. Obviously, the Liangshan army is familiar with the road.Although there is only Xu Ning at the front gate, there are only two or three thousand cavalry, but the army infantry ten times larger than the enemy dare not go out.

To tell the truth, a tactical defeat is really nothing to the imperial army.As long as the Sanya Taiwei Gao Qiu of Shengju Zhenglong draws a pen on the paper, he guarantees how many people will be killed and how many soldiers will be replaced. This is the foundation and stamina that Liang Shan, who has no base, can't envy.

As the two persuasion to capitulate had no effect, the Liangshan Xu Ning Department made no further moves.The stalemate became a tacit understanding between the opposing armies for the next few hours. Although the side inside the village was worried, the side outside the village was confident.

In late autumn, the days are short and it gets dark earlier. Seeing that the sun is gradually sinking to the west, this extraordinary day is about to pass, and the people on the city wall are relieved.Not to mention the physical exhaustion, the key is that I was still worried and frightened for a day, and now I finally had a chance to relax, and Zhou Ang was going to order people to go down to make dinner, but at this moment, there was a lot of commotion at the gate of the village. .

In the light of the setting sun, the three generals in the city could see clearly that there were about four or five thousand infantry and more than a thousand cavalry approaching the gate of the village. Everyone felt a "click" at the same time, it was absolutely impossible for them to be themselves. people.Because the imperial court's infantry are all around the three of them, and the Yunzhou garrison does not need to be counted on at all.

Zhou Ang felt something was wrong, and discussing countermeasures with the two Jiedu Envoys, Jing Zhong's face became more and more serious. As an old fox, he already smelled something bad.The Liangshan army can assemble here without any fear, so is it possible that the [-] cavalry led by Gao Lian are no longer a threat to them?

This is a very dangerous signal!

If something happened to Gao Lian, they would really be alone.In a short period of time, it is hard to say whether the imperial court will send reinforcements, even...the reinforcements will arrive in a few months, if they are called reinforcements, they may have become lonely ghosts.

At this time, Jing Zhong and Li Congji looked at each other inadvertently, and finally, for the first time, there was no spark, because they both sensed a kind of helplessness and panic in each other's eyes.Although they look down on each other, as grasshoppers on the same rope, the feeling of mutual pity prevails.

"Over there... Is it Taiwei Shuaiqi!?" Among the three, Zhou Ang was the youngest and had the best eyesight. He suddenly yelled, with a trace of despair in his voice.

When Jing Zhong heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he looked very hard at the place Zhou Ang was pointing at, but he couldn't see clearly because he was not as familiar with the situation as Zhou Ang was at a distance.At this moment, Li Congji swallowed back his saliva, and said: "You guys are the most scheming, I'm afraid that what we want is us to be in a mess! How difficult is it to make a false flag out in this afternoon?" ?”

Zhou Ang really hoped that he could listen to and believe what Li Congji said, but he couldn't help his heartbeat speeding up.At this time, a brave general galloped out of the battle and appeared under Zhuangxia.Zhou Ang knew this person, it was Xu Ning, the teacher of the golden gun class who was in front of Shengjia, and just now he called people to persuade him to surrender, so he immediately ordered people not to shoot arrows, and secretly left a way out for himself.

I saw that Xu Ning was holding a head dipped in lime in his hand, so dirty that he couldn't see his face clearly, he came to the village and shouted: "Do you know this head?"

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he slammed up the tower, and the soldiers guarding the city were startled. It took a long time for someone to pick up the head and send it to the three generals. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" yelled, and passed out immediately.

"The chief culprit, Gao Qiu, has been put to death, and all [-] cavalry have been disarmed! Even Qiu Yue, the head of the imperial army, has surrendered to me! If you are stubborn, you will end up dead! My army doesn't need to attack hard, just hold the front After these two exits, you will starve to death if you are hungry!"

The news revealed in Xu Ning's warning shocked Li Congji. Even a small character like Qiu Yue became Liang Shan's excuse, so what about the whereabouts of the other Jiedu envoys?Could it be that many of the soldiers guarding the city came from local military towns, fearing that they would rather die than surrender if they got the news of the commander's death?Inferring the sad news of the martyrdom of the old fellows, Li Congji suddenly became angry, and he didn't care about his own life or death. He yelled at Xu Ning: "The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill them, Xu Ning, you quickly retreat, if If you dare to come again, I will shoot them with random arrows!"

After he finished yelling towards the city, he was about to turn around and tell the bad news he had guessed just now, but he was hit by someone's black stick, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse. Just before he lost consciousness, he heard a shameless voice saying: "Xu Ning ! If you promise that Liangshan will not kill me, I will open the city and surrender!" (To be continued~^~)
