Song Jiang put down the information in his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Yan Shun and Shi Jin fought beautifully in this battle, swallowed all the six thousand forbidden troops, and also pulled Peach Blossom Mountain into the base camp, so that Pei Xuan could make a great record." At this point, the second encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers has begun, and we must make persistent efforts to break through Hu Yanzhuo's team and strengthen the prestige of our Liangshan Bo army! Staff Officer Wu could send orders to Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain, and all the prisoners were strictly imprisoned in Ershan, and only Xu Ning was escorted to Liangshanbo. Taohuashan is still in charge of Li Zhong for the time being, and the encirclement and suppression will be crushed and then reorganized. Qingzhou Sanshan is ready to attack the officers and soldiers on the periphery, and can also seek their own fighters and swallow a small group of enemies, but they must not rush in! ”

Wu Yong said after receiving the order: "Now Hu Yanzhuo is menacing, carrying a large number of artillery, and bringing all the chain armor horses he trained in Runing, looking like he is determined to win." This battle can be a bit tricky, and the commander should make a decision early! ”

Lin Chong said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, he has artillery, and Liangshanbo also has artillery, could it be that his artillery is stronger than my Liangshanbo?" The Serial Horse is not invincible in the world, and its weaknesses are as obvious as its strengths. If the horse's feet are severed with a hook and sickle, the rear team tramples the front team, and the chain horses will be in disarray, and the large and bulky chain horses will have to be slaughtered. God really helps me Liang Shanbo, the person who knows how to hook and sickle is the golden gunner Xu Ning, I have a close relationship with him, and when he comes to the cottage, he will definitely say that he will join the gang and teach marksmanship to break the enemy! ”

Song Jiang said: "Yes! We used the experience and tactics of the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign to harass the officers and men, drag them down, and then fight again. Hu Yanzhuo intends to fight a quick battle, so we will extend the time indefinitely, not fight him, and seek opportunities to weaken his strength in the movement, and slowly eat away at him. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "In addition to dealing with the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, we should also pay attention to the inside of the cottage, now there will be more surrendered soldiers in the cottage, so the grain and rice consumption of the cottage is also more, and we can't mess up for them." I suggest that some of the generals' families be brought up the mountain, so that they can better transform and manage the troops and become a member of Liangshanbo as soon as possible. For example, Ying Long, the commander of Yizhou, and Fu Shuolin, the governor of Puzhou, made it clear that they were willing to join the gang. For some soldiers who are reluctant to join the gang, they have to find a way to deal with it, after all, Liangshanbo is not a place to raise idlers. ”

Song Jiang said: "Gongsun Staff is concerned about the cottage and thoughtful, so Gongsun Staff is responsible for handling this matter." In the future, this matter will be handled by Gongsun Staff Officer and on his own. The captives will be a force that cannot be underestimated after the transformation is completed, and we must do everything possible to transform them. After this battle, the soldiers who did not want to join the gang were sent back to their hometowns, and the travel expenses were distributed so that they could spread the blessings of Liangshanbo to the world. And warned them that if they come to my cottage as a soldier again, they will be severely punished! ”

All three praised Song Jiang's benevolence and righteousness, and then discussed combat matters.

Liang Shanbo sent four regiments to cruise around Shuibo, they were three cavalry regiments led by Yang Zhi, Luan Tingyu, and Hu Cheng, and an infantry regiment led by Lu Hu. Each of them seeks opportunities to disrupt Hu Yanzhuo's arrangement, eats the enemy's weak parts in the movement, and can cooperate or act alone, but no matter what, you can't fall in love with the war, you can leave when you fight, and you can take it when you see it.

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned, the six thousand forbidden troops were wiped out before they reached Qingzhou City, this is what a thief can do? Still in disbelief, he glared at the spies and a wounded soldier who had escaped.

The wounded soldier said with a sad face: "Lord Huyan, this matter is absolutely true! The thieves first robbed us of our grain and grass and lured us to attack Peach Blossom Mountain, but they planted several times stronger enemies on the periphery. The thieves rushed over and fired with their crossbows, and when they got closer, they used a firearm with a powerful explosion, and we couldn't get close enough to kill and wound a large number of people. General Xu led us to break through to no avail, he was defeated and captured, the rest of the people surrendered, the villain escaped by pretending to be dead, and hurried to report to the adults! ”

Hu Yanzhuo felt extremely panicked, these thieves are too terrible, this time they must be cleaned up, and they can't leave future troubles.

Dispatch troops!

Hu Yanzhuo led more than 20,000 soldiers to march towards Liangshanbo. There are thousands of people without bounds, and there is flying dust everywhere in the banner hunting, and the team shows the killing spirit of soldiers in the dust.

Along the way, the bandit army did not encounter any resistance, as if the Liangshanbo thieves did not know that the officers and soldiers were coming, and the more this happened, the more anxious Hu Yanzhuo was. As the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter eagles, and now you can't find rabbits, how many eagles are idle nonsense. He is not afraid that thieves will come to war, but he is afraid that thieves will disappear.

Disappearance must contain a greater subterfuge.

After marching for more than ten miles, suddenly the rear team came to report that more than a thousand cavalry were attacking with them, and they shot arrows for a while, and when they saw the army pursuing, they turned around and ran, and after a while they followed again.

Hu Yanzhuo immediately made a decision and sent Peng Xi to lead a cavalry to the rear team to defend, and he must not be greedy for merit to pursue and prevent him from entering the ambush circle of thieves. 5200

Peng Xi took the order and left, and sure enough, the Liangshan thief was like a fly, you ran away as soon as you hit him, and if you didn't hit him, he flew over again. Once, when they were chasing closer, they saw that they threw many grenades, which blew up the pursuers on their backs, and the smoke and dust covered the sun. Peng Xi was eager to lead the rear army to rush forward, but his years of military career told him that he was impulsive to fight, so he walked slowly with the army.

After walking a few more miles, a cavalry appeared on each of the left and right flanks, and they rushed to a hundred paces or so and then stopped, as if to see off the army. Hu Yanzhuo sent troops forward, and they turned their horses' heads and ran away without a trace in an instant.

Han Tao said: "General Huyan, it looks like we are surrounded!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo laughed and said: "Only three or four thousand men and horses dare to surround my bandit army, and the Liangshan thieves have not yet had such great courage, and there must be a big conspiracy behind the attack." Let's not be fooled by him, move on, and look for his main decisive battle! ”

Turning a hill, I saw a strange phenomenon, only to see a flat and empty place in front of me, more than a thousand infantry waiting in formation.

Hu Yanzhuo was surprised, so many infantry wanted to stop the advance of our army?

Either the thieves are too arrogant, or there is a big conspiracy.

He looked around, the flat ground couldn't hide the ambush soldiers at all, what were they playing? But it is impossible for the army to freeze here. Hu Yanzhuo decided to send out 500 infantry to charge, first probing the truth and seeing what their intentions were.

This is precisely the reason why the 008th Regiment of Infantry led by Land Rover, who met the enemy like this because their self-confidence was extremely inflated into arrogance. In their opinion, the Liangshanbo team is a divine soldier, and they have sharp weapons, and they will fight for a while to extinguish the prestige of the officers and soldiers. If it doesn't work, it's not easy to run. But they chose the wrong place, if they had done this on the hill just now, this plan would have been absolutely feasible, but now it is Pingchuan, how can a man outrun a horse.

The best chance for the 008th Regiment to retreat is now, when the officers and men charged, they turned around and ran, and the more embarrassed they ran, the more Hu Yanzhuo did not dare to chase.

However, they chose to fight back, which was their original choice.

Arrows were shot out of the hard crossbows, reaping the lives of the officers and soldiers, and the soldiers of the 008th Regiment fought happily, leaving a large number of officers and soldiers killed and wounded from a distance, and fighting was like playing.

Hu Yanzhuo saw the clue, and at the same time as attacking, he ordered the artillery to be set up, and the chains of the chain armor horses were connected together, and after a while, a burst of artillery fire destroyed the thieves' hard crossbows, and then the chain armor horses rushed over and ate these thieves first. Even if he has an ambush, Pingchuan is a good place for a chain of horses to gallop, and I am afraid that he will do something.

Most of the 500 infantry sent out were killed and wounded, and it seemed that they could not attack, so Hu Yanzhuo ordered to retreat. The front army suddenly dodged to both sides, and more than 20 artillery pieces had been adjusted to the angle and aimed at the opposite position.

Under the fierce artillery fire, the position of the 008th Regiment was blown to pieces, and several platoons of repulsive horses were blown to pieces, staggering from side to side; The hard crossbow and the bracket were broken by the fried pigs, and they were scattered and rotten; The soldiers were blown to the ground, and their corpses were strewn all over the field, with countless casualties.

After the shelling stopped, the position was filled with smoke, and the living soldiers got up and called for their comrades. Land Rover got up and shouted loudly: "Quickly bandage the wounded, each battalion quickly count the combat effectiveness, and those who can breathe quickly get up and set up formation!" ”

At this time, the artillery on the positions of the officers and soldiers was removed, and Hu Yanzhuo's killer chain armored horses appeared, with a pair of thirty horses and a hundred pairs of three thousand horses. He was afraid of the super penetrating power of Liangshanbo's heavy crossbow, and all men and horses wore three layers of armor. Thirty horses ran together, rampage, and the momentum was like the flooding of the Yellow River, and it was impossible to stop. Not to mention people, even if there is a tree in the middle, it will be uprooted.
