The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 75 The Confrontation of Two Armies ([-])

"Report to the leader, the Song army has already stationed ten miles outside the city, and Song Jiang is shouting in front of the battle!" A soldier wearing a yellow silk scarf came to report to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect their speed to be so fast, and I expected it. Give me an order, and you can order troops to open the city gate and fight to the death with the Song army. Just in time, I also want to see who the commander-in-chief of the Song army is." ? Dare to shout in front of our army, you really have eaten the heart of a bear!"

Song Jiang stood up, and everyone stood up, ready to go. The soldiers in the city were already ready.Following Song Jiang's order, everyone walked towards the city gate in unison.In front of the Qingzhou city gate, Song Jiang and others opened the city gate and lined up in formation.Looking from a distance, Zhao Gou saw Song Jiang riding a war horse, dressed neatly and wearing a robe, walking towards Zhao Gou and others on his horseback.

Zhao Gou saw that Song Jiang led an army to come. There is no portrait of Song Jiang handed down in history, and the murals handed down in later generations are nothing but fabrications.Zhao Gou had never seen Song Jiang's true face, but seeing him stepping out first, he guessed that the person in front of him was him.At the same time, Zhao Gou came quietly on horseback.

Both of them walked to the center of the field. Song Jiang saw that the commander of the Song Army was only a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He was taken aback. When the young man came, he was stunned, with disdain on his face, and said sarcastically: "The imperial court really has no one to use, and they sent a young man. I don't know who it is, little baby, I still advise you to go back and find your mother." Now! War is not for you, go back quickly, so as not to hurt your life!"

Zhao Gou smiled disapprovingly: "The famous leader of the Liangshan Army was originally a weak scholar, but he commanded a Liangshan army that looked down on him. It is really unexpected. People are not good-looking, and the sea is immeasurable. Chief Song, we I didn't want to fight with you. If you surrender and let the past go, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to all of you. I don't know what Song Chief wants?"

Seeing Zhao Gou's calmness, Song Jiang replied: "You are welcome, General. Song is just a commoner. If it weren't for the emperor not caring about the life and death of the people, the heavy taxes would make our lives miserable, starving to death, leaving home and leaving home, all of this They are all given by the current Holy One.”

"The Yellow River broke its embankment, the floods flooded, and the imperial court continued to increase taxes regardless of the sufferings of the people. Our actions were just following the trend. If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful, how can we gather people to revolt. However, today's holy majesty doesn't care about the suffering of the people. Enjoy, take turns to do it, come to my house this year."

Zhao Gou was silent, he knew what Song Jiang said was true.However, there are some things that he and Song Huizong themselves know, so there is no need to explain too much.Sometimes the more explanations, the stronger the meaning of concealment.Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Since the leader of the Song Dynasty has made up his mind, we will decide the outcome on the battlefield. However, the boy still advises the leader, there are still loyal ministers in the court, how can we beat them to death with a stick."

"Liangshan is in the name of 'walking the way for the sky', but have your actions really brought happiness to the people? The war is raging, and there are Liao, Xixia and others eyeing you. You don't want to serve the country, but you gather people to revolt. If things go on like this, you will not be able to escape your responsibility if the country is in trouble."

Instead of being angry, Song Jiang smiled and said, "If the way is different, don't conspire with each other!"

Zhao Gou and Song Jiang turned around and left. Zhao Gou returned to the camp of the Song army; Song Jiang returned to the Liangshan army, and then led the others to leave.After a while, the gate of Qingzhou was closed, and they had already entered it.Everyone walked towards the city wall one after another, and Zhao Gou had already set up a "long snake formation" waiting for the arrival of Liang Shan's army.

Wu Yong said in a low voice: "It's actually a 'long snake array', brothers Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, what do you think?"

Hu Yanzhuo is the descendant of Hu Yanzan, the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. His ancestral home is Taiyuan, Bingzhou.Because he is good at using two water-milled octagonal steel whips, he is called "Double Whip" Hu Yanzhuo.

Guan Sheng is ranked fifth among the heroes of Liangshan, and the first among the five tiger generals of the horse army. Jieliang from Hedong is a descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.He was originally an inspector in Pudong, but he joined Liangshan only because he offended the powerful and got tricked.

Guan Sheng said in a deep voice: "The 'One-word Long Snake Formation' is divided into three parts: the head, the tail and the gallbladder. When the formation changes, the real and the false are used together. The long snake formation operates like a giant python attacking. Fierce! The maneuverability of the cavalry on both wings is the most important, so the best way to break the long snake array is to limit the maneuverability of the two wings so that they cannot look at each other from head to tail."

"The long snake formation is deduced according to the habits of snakes. There are three changes in the long snake formation: [-]. strike the snake's head, move the tail, and roll; [-]. strike the snake's tail, move the head, and bite; To, twist! If you want to break the formation, you need to set traps in our infantry formation, use two infantry formations to cooperate to prevent the movement of the opponent's cavalry on both wings, so that they cannot exert their mobility and flexibility, and then use the powerful heavy cavalry The Lord launched a powerful attack on its snake-belly infantry, making its formation scattered and disorderly! Destroyed the infantry phalanx in one fell swoop, and cut the long snake formation into three pieces. In this way, the long snake formation fought independently and could no longer cooperate with three parties Combat, the formation will break itself without attack!"

Hu Yanzhuo continued: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If they change the formation, attack the head or the tail of the long snake formation, and turn the other end to form a formation of two dragons coming out of the water. Go forward in the middle to form a formation of three talents from heaven and earth. Retreat, forming a four-door pocket formation, interspersed with each other, and become a five tigers and sheep formation."

"Then arrange it according to the Six Ding Liujia, that is, the Six Ding Liujia formation. Then half of it is drawn into a line, and the other half is like a four-door pocket bottom formation, that is, the Big Dipper formation. Surround it in a circle, arrange it according to the eight trigrams formation, leaving eight exits, and become Square, that is, the eight-door golden lock formation. Arranged according to the nine palaces, each grid will be interspersed, and gradually become one, intersecting each other, that is, the nine-character chain formation. Finally, it becomes a ten-sided ambush formation. The ten formations are infinitely varied and difficult to resist!"

Song Jiang said in a low voice: "So, I still underestimated that young man. I didn't expect that he is also a master of soldiers. Why has he never heard of his reputation in the court? At first, I thought it would be Zong Ze, Wu Jie and others. Never Thinking that it would be this brat, I really answered what he said, people should not be judged by appearances!"

Wu Song interjected, "Brother, does that person look familiar to you?"

Song Jiang and the others all looked over, only to see a man in cyan armor guarding the belly of the snake. Everyone saw him with a handsome face, a dark face, and a long gun in his hand, as if they had known each other before.Monk Hua and Lu Zhishen shouted suddenly: "That's Lin Chong, the head of the Imperial Army, why is Brother Lin here?"

Lu Zhishen's words reminded Lu Junyi of his younger brother who practiced martial arts together, and Wu Song, Shi Jin and others also suddenly realized.After all, their friendship with Lin Chong was very deep. Apart from Lu Junyi and others who had fellowship with him, there were other people who had friendship with him, especially Monk Hua Lu Zhishen.They were acquaintances of eight obeisances, because Lu Zhishen was also drunk and beat someone to death, and fled in a panic. When they were in the capital, the two had a very good relationship.

"He is the instructor of the forbidden army, and his martial arts skills are definitely not bad. Why didn't he come yesterday, but those two boys came instead?" Song Jiang was a little puzzled. Knowing every move, he bowed his head in thought and said nothing, frowning, thinking: "This is really hard to deal with!"

Not only Lu Junyi and Lu Zhishen, but even Song Jiang and Wu Yong have heard of Lin Chong's reputation, and they also had a drink and chat together.Therefore, not only Lu Junyi and others were entangled, but even Song Jiang hesitated.However, the enemy is now, and there is still old love there, so the only choice is to go to war.

When Zhao Gou returned to the army, he remembered what Yang Yizhong and Yue Fei had said to him, and he believed that Liang Shanjun was far stronger than in the novels, and even Song Jiang was born handsome.Moreover, Zhao Gou felt that it was impossible for Song Jiang not to know any martial arts at all.Therefore, when Song Jiang frowned, Zhao Gou was also silent.

He knew that this matter was more important, so asking all the soldiers to form a formation was also a test, to see who among the Liangshan Army knew how to form formations.Back then, what Zhao Gou whispered to Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong was that he guessed that Song Jiang tore up the letter and told them to be prepared. They must observe the marching layout of the Liangshan Army, and also look at their abilities. Show weakness.Since Liang Shan is a hero, he will definitely not do things that hurt others secretly. Sometimes face is very important to them, so let them be indifferent and calm when things happen, and they will definitely be able to come back.

Zhao Gou asked Lin Chong to wait three inches from the long snake formation, because he was a civil servant and it was difficult to show his martial arts, otherwise he would have to go out in person.For now, it is also unbreakable.As the commander in chief, Zhao Gou lived in the center and changed his formation at any time. He also knew that someone from the Liangshan Army would definitely come to break the formation.
