Chapter 123 Sheep Intestine Mountain
"The thieves in Liangshan can only fight, and there is no heroism at all."
Back in the house, Zeng Tu threw his helmet on the table and shouted angrily, and his four younger brothers also echoed and cursed, as if they had been greatly wronged.
Shi Wen said competitively: "Don't be impatient, sons. He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, tomorrow we will fight with him, and we will defeat him for a while. Tomorrow, Su Ding and Zeng Tu led the army to attack him head-on, once secretly attacked his right flank, Zeng Suo attacked his left flank, and after disrupting his foot formation, I led the rest of the people to cover and kill him, how can the thief army be undefeated! ”
Everyone applauded one after another.
The next day, the two armies faced each other.
Wu Yong saw that Zengtou City was lined up in a diamond-shaped formation, and said with a smile: "Zengtou City wants to have a melee with us, so we simply add some condiments and let them have a good meal." ”
He called the generals to him and laid out the tactics one by one.
Liang Shanbo took the lead in the battle with Xiang Chong and Li Gon's hob hands, they formed a neat phalanx, slowly moving forward, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng led an army to protect the right wing, and Lin Chong and Hu Cheng led an army to protect the left wing.
At a hundred paces away from the enemy camp, all the hobber men lay down, and the people of Zengtou City were wondering, only to hear the rumbling of cannons, and all ten cannons opened fire and entered the Zengtou City formation.
There was a commotion among the military horses in Zengtou City, and Shi Wengong hurriedly ordered the generals to restrain the soldiers and not to mess up the formation. Wu Yong saw that Shi Wengong stopped the commotion instantly, so he ordered to adjust the angle of the artillery, and did not hesitate to bombard the Chinese army with shells.
Immediately, the shells fell into the enemy's Chinese army, and the riot spread outward like a wave, and Shi Wengong saw that there was no more countermeasures, and the team was in chaos, so he ordered: "All rush over, entangle with their team, and the artillery fire will stop itself." ”
Seeing this, Wu Yong said secretly: "Shi Wengong is indeed a character, if he can be used by my Liang Shanbo, wouldn't it be better to add wings to the tiger!" ”
He immediately ordered to stop the shelling, Xiang Chong and Li Gon immediately rushed forward, and the military horses on both wings rushed together. The military horses of Zengtou City were frightened and rushed forward blindly. Seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, he was secretly happy in his heart, and desperately rushed towards the hob array, but saw javelins flying in the sky. In an instant, a large forest of javelins appeared in the array, one javelin after another was inserted into the body, the dead closed their eyes, the wounded howled, and the living turned and fled.
The Liangshan military horses can give them a chance to escape, the hob team has been connected with their short knives, and the two wings of the military horses are down the mountain tigers, and the soldiers and horses of Zengtou City who have been killed retreat to the village to defend the danger.
When Elder Zeng saw his defeat, he was very flustered, and he did not have the vigor at the beginning.
Shi Wengong comforted: "Don't panic, the head of the family, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." The thief has won a battle today, and he must be arrogant, and we will stick to the village, deliberately showing weakness and refusing to fight, and consuming him a few days. The thieves are bound to despise me, and with their consumption of food and grass, they must want to fight quickly, and then our opportunity will come, and we will kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Elder Zeng asked, "Do teachers have a strategy in mind?" ”
Shi Wengong smiled: "Mountain people have their own clever plans! ”
Shi Wengong reorganized the soldiers and horses, and set up five large villages at the entrance of Zengtou City, which were fighting each other. Zeng Tu led more than 2,000 people to settle down in the front village and guard the entrance of the village. The left and right villages are guarded by the deputy teacher Su Ding and Zeng Shen, the back village is Zeng Suo, and the middle village is guarded by Shi Wengong, Zeng Kui and Zeng Sheng. If the people of Liangshan attack a village, the rest of the villages will send troops to attack.
Seeing this, Wu Yong did not dare to act rashly, but only sent the leader to challenge the front village, and sent two armies to protect the two wings. For a few days, Zeng Tu ignored it, and Chao Gai said: "The Zeng family has been frightened, we should attack its camp and destroy him in one fell swoop." ”
Wu Yongdao: "The art of war: ten are to encircle, five are to attack, and multiple is to fight, and the number of our army is slightly less than that of the enemy." Now the enemy army has set up five villages in Zengtou City, echoing from the end to the end, attacking one of its villages, and the rest of the villages will definitely come to the rescue, which will inevitably cause the enemy to suffer from the abdomen and back. The plan for today is to stabilize the situation and find the enemy's flaws, and then take Zengtou City in one go. ”
Chao Gai nodded silently.
In this way, the war between the two armies was stuck in the stage of mutual abuse, and Wu Yong had no good way for a while. Shi Wengong felt that the time had come, so he said to Elder Zeng: "The opportunity is slowly approaching us, it's time for us to do it, first transfer the thief army and disrupt their deployment." ”
Elder Zeng said: "Teacher Shi is in charge of his own plans. ”
Shi Wengong shouted: "Cat! ”
Luo Mao'er quickly came in and arched his hand, "What does the master command?"
Shi Wengong said: "You quickly go to Yanggut Mountain, let Yu Baosi make some small moves for the thief army, if you dare to disobey the order, I will definitely set foot on Yanggut Mountain one day." ”
After the cat left, Shi Wengong said to Zeng Sheng: "You personally take someone to monitor the thief army's every move, if there is any abnormal movement, report it immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”
Zeng Sheng arched his hand and said: "Never let down the teacher!"
Liangshanbo grain and grass are gradually decreasing, Chao Gai is even more anxious, unable to capture Zengtou City and unwilling to withdraw the army. While discussing strategies with the leaders, the spies came to report that the team escorting the grain and grass was ambushed, and most of the grain and grass were burned.
Wu Yong was shocked: "How did the military horses of Zengtou City go around to my rear?" ”
The spy said: "The subordinates have found out that it is not the military horses of Zengtou City who robbed the grain, but another person. There is a cottage in the sheep intestine mountain more than ten miles away from the right side of the Liangshan Bo camp, and the owner of the village is called the dangerous road god Yu Bao four, and there are three or four hundred people gathered. They had a close relationship with Zengtou City, and now they are ready to move, and it is they who have attacked our grain transportation team. ”
After hearing this, Wu Yong said: "They must be destroyed first and their worries removed, otherwise they will be troubled in the future." ”
He thought for a moment and said: "The matter is urgent, I need to go in person, and I and Lin Jiaotou and Zhu Tong will take a thousand people to take down Yu Baosi." If Zengtou City dares to divide troops to rescue Yu Baosi, the King of Heaven will wave his troops to attack its weak village, if not rescued, the King of Heaven will stabilize the camp and not react, everything will be decided when I come back! ”
Chao Gai said: "Don't worry, I won't let the backyard catch fire." ”
After Shi Wengong got the news from Zeng Sheng, he said excitedly: "Okay, Yu Baosi is good, we have a chance, this time we will not let the thief army retreat." ”
He turned his head to Luo Mao'er, the apprentice next to him, and said, "You go to Yanggut Mountain again, so that Yu Baosi will have to delay until tonight no matter what, and you stay by his side to prevent changes." ”
Luo Mao'er won the horse and was accepted as a disciple by Shi Wengong, seeing that the time for meritorious service had come, he was overjoyed in his heart: "There is only one path to go up the mountain in Yangjio Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
After speaking, he rushed away.
Wu Yongjian saw that there was really only one sheep intestine trail leading to the top of the mountain, there were three gates on it, each of which was heavily guarded. Fortunately, he had heard the spies' report and had more eyes, and brought all ten cannons, what are you afraid of if there are cannons.
Wu Yong wanted to solve the sheep intestine mountain without using his blade, so he asked the sergeant to shout and let Yu Baosi come out to meet. After a while, a big man appeared in front of the first gate, and he shouted: "Who is the person below, who dares to besiege my sheep intestine mountain, and is impatient!?" ”
Wu Yongdao: "You dare to rob me of Liangshan grain and grass, today my army came to seek justice, if you know the fun, quickly surrender the village, otherwise the village will not be left when the village is broken!" ”
Yu Baosi smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when you say it, even if you have thousands of troops, what can you do to me!" I don't have time to quarrel with you, you attack the village, I went to drink. After saying that, he left without looking back.
Wu Yong saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he ordered to bury the pot to make rice, and after eating, he took the sheep intestine mountain in one go.
Yu Baosi kept toasting Luo Mao'er, Luo Mao'er was so drunk that his face was red, he stroked a few beards and said with a smile: "What the master said is to let the big boss last until dark, I think it will not be a problem to persist for three or five days, and we will sit firmly in the tent and eat wine!" ”
Yu Baosi greeted the laughter, and before the laughter fell, a minions ran in in a panic and said, "Big boss, it's not good!" Clause... The first door... Lost, occupied by thieves! ”
Yu Baosi and Luo Mao'er were taken aback, and asked in unison, "What's the matter?" ”
The minions said: "Their artillery fire is too strong, most of the brothers who defend were killed, and the rest fled back to the second gate." ”
Yu Baosi secretly felt bad, and said to Luo Mao'er: "Go out and have a look!" ”
Standing in front of the second walled gate, Yu Baosi saw that the first walled gate had been occupied by the Liangshanbo people, and the artillery was placed on a high slope.
Li Kai, a close confidant of Yu Baosi, said: "It would be nice if they destroyed their artillery with stones." ”
Yu Baosi said: "I can't throw it that far, and besides, if they are placed on a high slope, it is useless to roll down the stones." ”
