245th five hundred firemen
The man was frightened, and said with a sad face: "We will surround the grain cart in a ring and defend it according to the cart, confident that we can resist until the reinforcements arrive." Who knew that the thieves first fired a dense number of rockets, and the grain trucks piled up together became a burden to us, and the grain trucks all burned, and we could only brave the rain of arrows to fight the fire. Then their cavalry rushed over, and there was a dense rain of arrows, and many of the soldiers who stood up were shot into hedgehogs, and we had no choice but to lie on the ground. When we stood up and defended, the thief cavalry was close at hand, and they threw a lot of gunpowder weapons, and in a moment they exploded, and the defending soldiers fell. General, that scene is really terrifying, our flesh and blood can't be low-grade! ”
Xuanzan frowned after hearing this, this means that he didn't even see the face of the thief, so he was beaten like this, and the thief's strength is indeed extraordinary.
At this time, several soldiers carried Duan Minggui's body over, only to see that he was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and his left arm had been blown off. The general cried and said: "General Duan has been organizing defense, and he still stands with an arrow in his body, and finally was killed on the spot. ”
Xuanzan was in awe, and it seemed that his understanding of this gentleman was extreme. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and said silently in his heart: "On weekdays, I laugh at your name as a short-lived ghost, but it is difficult to say whether we can save our lives next, and it is not a matter of front and back." Duan Minggui, you go all the way! ”
The city of Beijing is in good order, and it is even more stable and harmonious than before.
The streets were once again prosperous, and people woke up to find that the sky was brilliant and colorful, and the bright sunlight shone on the land of the Daimyo's Mansion. A different feeling came to people's hearts, how good it would be if life could be like this all the time!
The Liangshan army did not disturb the people, they only controlled those high-ranking officials and rich families who oppressed the people on weekdays, and the cool officials were strong and strong, and they did not harass the ordinary people at all. The people of Beijing were amazed at the actions of this gang of bandits, which was so inconsistent with the rumors about them from the outside world, and it was a world of difference from the rumors.
The robbers are supposed to kill people and plunder their wealth and then leave with a full load, and they are actually stationed to relieve the people and maintain order in the city, and they are as conscientious as they have such an obligation. These practices should have been reluctantly done by the government in the past, but now they are being done by robbers, and they are doing better than the government.
It's not a dream, it's actually being around. People can't help but sigh: With such robbers, what is the use of the government?
The burned houses will be compensated according to the price, and I will say sorry; The people who died in vain due to the war will be paid funeral expenses and condolences; Prisons were also opened, unjust cases were redressed, grain was distributed to the poor, all the belongings of the officials, the powerful, the dirty officials, and the wicked and rich were confiscated, and the most heinous crimes were beheaded for public display.
The most relieving thing for the people of the Daimyo Mansion is to slash and kill the enemies who are full of evil on the street.
Qian million is notorious, colluding with the Liao people, the evidence is all provided by Ma Kuan, and the pile transactions are all harmful to the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are the culprits who helped the Liao people indirectly kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Ma Kuan annoyed Qian Cai by providing evidence that Qian Cai colluded with the Liao people and reported Qian Cai's hiding place. He took out all the bad things that Ma Kuan had done, no matter how big or small, it was really a dog-eat-dog. In this way, the two of them can't get out of the relationship, Ma Kuan has become an accomplice of money, and even more so, Ma Kuan, a dog-legged man, is even more hateful, he not only helps money and sell the country, but also bullies the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
In this way, although he has merit, it is not enough to kill the people, and if he deserves it, he will be beheaded!
Yeluhuan, as the prince of the Liao people, was blessed and powerful in the northern land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials of the Song Dynasty not only did not stop it, but respected it like a god, and put the people he oppressed into prison, and the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Now it's very happy, the heroes of Liangshan don't care what bullshit friends he is, whoever provokes the people of the Great Song Dynasty is the enemy, and they are all condemned to be extremely evil, and Yeluhuan and his minions are all beheaded.
Although Liang Zhongshu was killed, he still showed his head to the public, and he counted all his crimes. The rest of the guilty gentry were killed and imprisoned, and all their property was confiscated, but their innocent families were not harmed.
In the end, some ordinary honest petty officials were left to preside over government affairs, and then they retreated, and left behind a sentence: The Liangshanbo army is the army of the common people, and it is an army specially designed for the toiling masses. Ground floor
Xu Guanzhong was shocked to see this, and he did see a different army. He wanted to believe that it was never a play for himself, this should be the usual practice of Liangshan heroes, and following such a team is the right way. But Zhongjun's thoughts still haunted him, and Xu Guanzhong at this time was like walking into a narrow valley on the road of life, hesitating and unwilling.
Song Jiang ignored his feelings, respected his family as guests, and took all the way to Liangshan, if he was willing to go, if he didn't want to go, Xu Guanzhong had no choice but to sigh secretly: Banditry! They will never be able to change this kind of gangsterism!
What surprised him was that many years later, he did the same, forcibly brought some talents who were unwilling to go up the mountain to the mountain, and said that this is Liang Shanbo's domineering!
Guan Sheng's soldiers were divided into three routes, Hao Siwen, Xuanzan and himself each led an army to attack Liangshan. However, the Liangshan side did not send troops, but the navy patrolled along the lake, and the officers and soldiers approached the water, greeted with a hard crossbow, and then did not chase.
Guan Sheng didn't care, and the three-way soldiers set up near Shuibo in the shape of a zigzag. He is just building momentum now, waiting for the other two armies to meet, his goal is to solve the danger of Beijing, set up an ambush halfway, and learn from Sun Bin to kill Pang Juan's battle of Maling Road.
He was not in a hurry at all when the grain and grass were burned, and ordered the Jeju prefect to raise cattle to fight, and when the army arrived, he would first solve the thieves who attacked the Daimyo's mansion, and then deal with the water thieves who had become turtles in the urn.
It is said that Lingzhou Taishou received the edict of transferring troops from Tokyo, and immediately selected some troops, rectified the grain and grass, and led the army by Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo to march to Liangshanbo. On the way to the march, however, there was a situation, several groups of light cavalry of several hundred men followed like shadows, the officers and men stopped, they also stopped, the officers and men attacked, they turned around and ran, and they did not entangle.
Wei Dingguo was short-tempered, he once personally led his troops to pursue, chased for three or five miles, but saw that the thieves were fast, if he chased down in anger, wouldn't he run back to Lingzhou.
He immediately came back to discuss with Shan Tinggui, and the two came to the conclusion that the thief was pulling the army back, deliberately slowing down the march, and ignored it. But they really ignored it, and the thieves took the opportunity to attack and the gains outweighed the losses, so they let the partial general Qi Junqi lead a thousand men and horses to deal with the thieves, and the marching speed of the army did not decrease but increased, and rushed to Liangshanbo.
After walking for less than half a day, Shan and Wei saw a small number of deserters coming up, saying that it was a thief, several cavalry units united and defeated them, and General Qi Junqi was killed on the spot.
The two were shocked, and the regular army of a thousand armed men was routed in less than half a day, and except for the rest of the time, the real battle lasted for several hours. With so many people standing still, it is enough for thieves to cut for half a day, not to mention that officers and soldiers also have knives and guns in their hands, why are these thieves so strong?
However, the troops were stationed to deal with these cavalry and the journey was delayed, but they received the holy order of rapid assembly, and after the two hurriedly discussed, Wei Dingguo led 500 firefighters and another 500 cavalry to stop the thieves from attacking.
Wei Dingguo had a short temper and a fiery temperament, and Shan Tinggui was afraid that he would fall into the trap of thieves, so he repeatedly instructed him not to pursue and prevent him from harassing the army.
The thousand soldiers and horses led by Wei Dingguo are powerful with his five hundred firefighters, which is his secret killer weapon.
There were fifty trains for 500 people, and every 10 people carried a cart filled with dry and flammable materials such as reeds. The soldiers also performed their duties, two sword and shield soldiers, holding large shields to defend against enemy arrows; Two bows and arrows are armed with hard bows and are used to kill enemies from a distance; Three cart men were specially used to rapidly advance the train into the enemy position; Three Pyros are armed with flamethrowers and shoot flames.
When the train rushes into the enemy line and causes chaos, the sword and shield soldiers, archers, and cart soldiers draw their swords and charge. The flamethrowers are very mysterious, each of them carries a large iron gourd, holds a long flamethrower, and wears a red fireproof mask, which is very peculiar. This large iron gourd contains five-colored smoke such as sulfur flame nitrate, which is connected to the flamethrower and shoots flames from a long tube, burning opponents.
Although Wei Dingguo was irritable but also experienced in a hundred battles, he decorated the train to look like a grain truck, and five hundred men pushed fifty trains to walk slowly behind, but he himself led five hundred cavalry to walk in front, leaving the grain cart a few hundred steps behind.
