Wang Huan was so angry that his teeth were itching, and the more than 1,000 cavalry were like shadows, peeking at his team at any time, making people panic. They ran faster than a rabbit when they fought, and if they didn't beat him, they followed. And from time to time, there are pits, or trees and stones in front of the marching procession, and it is obvious that they are hindering the team from moving closer to Jeju, which is definitely a thief from Yangsanbo.

Wang Lian'er had a plan, and when he was united, he ordered to camp early, and strictly guarded everywhere, except for a gap in the south, where he lay down heavy troops to lure thieves into taking the bait. However, there was no movement all night, and there was no thief in the early morning, Wang Jian secretly felt that there was fraud, but it was important to hurry, so he sent a horse to spy on the military situation, in order to prevent the thieves from breaking through, the front, middle and rear armies marched together at full speed.

At noon, the soldiers were hungry, and Wang Huan was about to order the pot to be buried, but when he saw the spies running over quickly, he accidentally fell off the horse and stammered: "General...... General, thief...... Thief...... The thief ......" nervously speechless.

Wang Huan shouted: "Why are you so panicked? If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, I will cut off your head! ”

When the spy heard this, he became more and more nervous, his face turned red, and he couldn't even say a word. Wang Huan was also helpless, so he could only ask his subordinates to give the spies water to drink to relieve the pressure. At this time, another spy caught up from behind, and he reported the military situation in a clever manner: "General Wang, a large number of cavalry are chasing after you, less than five miles away from the army, please make a decision!" ”

Wang Huan was just about to give an order, but the spy took a sip of water and said, "There are also a large number of cavalry approaching us in front, and it is less than five miles away from the army!" ”

Wang Huan was shocked, and immediately ordered the rear army to turn around and deploy the whole army for defense. Before the defensive formation could be arranged, another spy came to report, and a large number of cavalry approached on the left and right flanks.

Before the words fell, the cavalry from all directions poured over like black clouds, and the dust splashed by the horses' hooves was like clouds.

Wang Huan is defeated!

So many cavalry from there? Could it be that the Liao or Western Xia invaded? But this is the center of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they appear quietly? If it's not a foreigner, is it a thief in Liangshanbo? They live by robbery, can they afford so many cavalry?

The dust in the sky quickly covered the officers and soldiers who were rushing to collapse, and also covered Wang Huan's thinking, should he resist, should he break through, or should he surrender? None of these thoughts appeared in Wang Huan's mind, he just closed his eyes blankly, as if he closed his eyes and stayed away from the battlefield and returned to his distant hometown.

Not surprisingly, the battle ended without lasting half an hour. The officers and soldiers died, the dead died, the runners ran, the surrendered, and Wang Huan also died in the chaos. Luan Tingyu ordered to strip off the clothes and armor of the captured officers and soldiers, let them go back the same way, and never let them go to Jeju from where they came.

Ou Peng asked puzzledly: "Commander Luan, the light cavalry is fast and flexible, and the reason why we can kill the enemy in a sports battle after thousands of miles of detours is precisely because we have no weight to highlight the speed." Ou was puzzled, why did you have to capture the banners and armor of the officers and soldiers in the two battles, which only increased the burden on the war horses? ”

Luan Tingyu smiled and said: "Master Ou is too worried, I have my own wonderful use for these things, now invite you and my deputy division commander and political commissar over for a short meeting, and Master Ou will understand my intentions!" ”

"Brothers, our two light cavalry divisions have twice worked together to annihilate the officers and soldiers, and have won a great victory. Now that Xu Jing and Wang Huan are dead, and our task has been successfully completed, I invite you to come and discuss what to do next! ”

Before Luan Tingyu finished speaking, the political commissar Yan Cheng interjected: "What are you discussing, our task has been completed, and we should go back to the cottage next, do you still want to go to Gao Yu's camp alone?" ”

Luan Tingyu knows that his political commissar is very principled like his surname, and if he thinks he shouldn't do something, he won't agree even if you wear out your mouth.

Seeing that Yan Cheng had doubts now, Luan Tingyu smiled and said, "Political Commissar Yan said that he was joking, how could I make a loss-making deal." You think that this year has been full of petty fights, and the brothers have been calling for nothing, and they have finally come out for a trip, and they are embarrassed to go back before they have had enough fun. You see, if we hold the banners of officers and soldiers and put on the armor of officers and soldiers, and Division Commander Ou and I each lead a team of men and horses, won't it become two reinforcements for Gao Yu? Then we moved in the direction of Jeju, I dare to guarantee that we have no teeth to bite this big crab Gao Yu, and it is absolutely possible to tear off one or two of his crab legs and drink alcohol! ”

Everyone nodded in praise, but Yan Cheng bowed his head and pondered silently, Luan Tingyu was anxious, he almost begged: "Oops! My big political commissar, the battlefield opportunities are changing rapidly, and there will be no such shop in this village after that! It's true that the cottage let us mainly eliminate the supporting officers and soldiers led by Wang Huan and Xu Jing, but didn't the commander also say it? To concentrate superior forces, annihilate the enemy individually, and eliminate the enemy's living forces in a mobile and flexible manner, our two divisions work together to clean up the crab claws on the periphery, and also to reduce the pressure of the cottage, if the commander blames him for disobeying the army's orders, I Luan Tingyu will bear it alone! ”

Yan Cheng glared and said: "I said that you are a dumbfounder, so I think you are a good man, and others are a bad seed?" Our brothers are blessed and share hardships, how can you bear this kind of thing alone! I didn't say a word just now because I was thinking that the dry food we brought would last a few days, and we wouldn't let the brothers go hungry and kill each other! However, although I agreed to this plan, I must not go deep into the hinterland, eat some snacks on the periphery, and quickly return to the cottage lightly! ”

"This is my good commissar!"

Luan Tingyu smiled like a flower, and he ordered again and again: "The team rests on the spot, feeds themselves and the horses, changes into the clothes of officers and soldiers, and sets off for Jeju in half an hour!" ”

Wang Wende rushed to Jeju in the starry night, and the road was unimpeded, and he wanted to be the first general to reach Jeju. He knows the rules of officialdom very well, and Shangguan likes subordinates who bow down to orders the most, and in their eyes, attitude comes first, and courage comes second. Imagine what a beautiful influence it will leave in his heart if he is the first to visit Captain Gao, if he adds his military exploits, he will soar from then on, increase his official ranks, and be rich and prosperous.

Wang Wende is urging the army to advance in the United States, and there are two teams of men and horses approaching them in a hurry not far from the horse report, they are all cavalry, and the speed of the march is extremely fast, and the banner is Wang Huan, the envoy of Henan and Hebei Jiedu, and the team of Xu Jing, the Taiyuan Jiedu of Shangdang. Wang Wende snorted and said: "These two straw bales came quickly, and they want to compete with me for the first chance to meet the captain, so they order to go at full speed and meet the captain in their heads!" ”

Wang Wende's general Dang Haidao: "General Wang, slow down!" It's a strange thing. The two of them have traveled a long way, why did they come so quickly? Even if they marched day and night, how could they come in our direction? What do they want? Generals should be careful! ”

Wang Wende said disapprovingly: "Pang is too careful, I expect that when the Liangshan thief Kou heard the rumors, he had already cowered in the puddle, how dare he enter the hinterland alone!" This must have been caused by two straw bales wanting to come to Captain Gao, so they marched day and night despite the fatigue of the soldiers. Didn't Pang Tongzhi listen to the spies just now that they were all cavalry? They must have arrived first by the cavalry and then by the infantry, and the road in our direction was flat, which was suitable for the cavalry to march quickly, and they must have made a detour, and the purpose was self-evident! Hurry up for the heralds! ”

The herald was just about to give the order, but Wang Wende said again: "Slow! We have infantry to drag down, and we certainly can't outrun their cavalry, and we can't let two straw bales take the lead. Pang Tong, I will lead a thousand cavalry to Jeju to meet the captain first, and you will lead the rest of the team to follow quickly! ”

Wang Wende led his troops to run happily, and a fast horse caught up and hurriedly said: "General Wang stays!" Big things are not good! Wang Huan and Xu Jing rebelled and are leading the cavalry to attack our department, please decide! "There is a shortage of books

Wang Wende was shocked, and led his people to turn around, but saw that his team had been defeated, and the cavalry was frantically slashing and killing soldiers like lambs. At this time, a group of cavalry found Wang Wende and suddenly rushed towards them, Wang Wende was already timid, how dare he face the battle. Running away and afraid of being caught up, he ordered all a thousand cavalry to meet him, and then turned around and fled, constantly silently reciting in his heart: "Xu Jing and Wang Huan rebelled, I want to report to the captain immediately, this is also a great achievement!" ”

At this point, Liang Shanbo's plan to concentrate forces to eliminate part of the peripheral reinforcements was completed, and it was a great success.

Wang Huan, the envoy of Henan and Hebei Jiedu, Xu Jing of Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu, Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, and Mei Zhan of Yingzhou Runan Jiedu all died on the battlefield, and the four teams were defeated and fled in all directions.

Jingbei Hongnong Jiedu annihilated Wang Wende's entire army and fled to Jeju alone. The 200,000 troops encircling and suppressing Liangshanbo were reduced by a quarter at once, and the form was very good for Liangshanbo.

Gao Yu is high-spirited, and the 200,000 army is more than enough to deal with the grass and the grass, although there is a suspicion of cannon hitting mosquitoes, but the war is like this, there are more people and fewer people bully. In addition to the huge amount of money and food consumed, the large number of people is indeed a big advantage.

Sacrificing flags, resigning, and walking, officials of all sizes outside the long pavilion greeted Captain Gao. This time, the number of bandits sent a huge number of troops, and they advanced by land and water, and the ships and horses went together, and victory was just around the corner. The day of success is the time when Gao Yu takes off, and at that time his power is in full swing, and now is a good time to tie his knots, at least to be familiar.

Captain Gao dressed up, rode a gold-saddled war horse, drank candied wine, and marched to Jeju in a majestic manner.

However, he said that Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong have become more domineering since they were unusually promoted to the vanguard of the encirclement and suppression army. They were originally Gao Yu's cronies, and they were privately called "Dang's Erxiong" by the generals in the palace marshal's mansion, but they sounded quite like "Dang's Erxiong", and the brothers were very popular with this nickname.

Erxiong does have some ability, Xiong Dadang Shiying makes a three-pointed two-edged knife, kung fu is veteran, vicious and ruthless, often the tip of the knife is smoked with poison, and people are killed when they break a little fur. Xiong Erdang's strength is infinite, so that a heavy iron lance can be smashed and stabbed, and this person is also familiar with water, and his bravery is incomparable.

The two often help Gao Yu do dark tasks such as assassination and blackmail, and every time they do it without leakage, they are quite valued by Gao Yu, so this time they were specially promoted to be the pioneer of the bandits.

The two bear villains are ambitious, and they are arrogant before they make an inch, and they look at people with dog eyes. During the march, he even connived at his sergeants to enter the village and plunder, and those who dared to resist were beheaded, and risked their merits on the grounds that they encountered thieves on the way. The sergeant got the sweetness, and intensified his efforts, killing the good and risking the merits, and the people of Li were harmed, not only at one end.

Erxiong rushed to Jeju, the number of troops was huge, and the city could not be stationed, the prefect Niu Fen only arranged for the officers to stay in the city, and the rest of the soldiers and the five-way reinforcements who had arrived were stationed outside the city, waiting for the arrival of Gao Yu's army.

These six military horses went down to the village outside the city, went up the mountain to cut down trees, moved into the house to move the door beam, slaughtered cattle and sheep, raped women, and the nearby residents complained, secretly cursing that all sinking in Liangshan Bo to feed the fish is God's eye.

Gao Yu was still marching slowly, enjoying the reception of various local officials on the way, who knew that the good times would not last long and received Wang Huan, Xu Jing, Xiang Yuanzhen, and Mei Zhan four people were killed, Wang Wende escaped alone, and the five reinforcements died and ran away, and less than one percent of them arrived in Jeju. Gao Yu did not dare to slack off, and ordered a quick march to Jeju to understand the military situation.

Outside Jeju City, the hearts of reinforcements from all walks of life trembled.

Five 10,000-strong troops were defeated in just a few days, and even more so, Xu Jing, a general who was known for his ferocity in the past, and other four people were in different places, these Liangshan thieves were really the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, and they were simply invincible.

The morale was low, the morale of the army was in turmoil, the officers and men had become frightened birds, and there were rumors in the army that the Liangshan thieves were invincible. When Gao Yu understood these situations, his brows furrowed, these defeated soldiers might as well have all died on the battlefield, but now they have infected the rest of the soldiers with fear, once it spreads, this battle will not be able to be fought.

It's okay to say that the forbidden army is its own direct army, and there are many cronies, so it's hard to say about the Xiang army. These envoys are well-known arrogant and fierce generals, who have long refused to obey discipline and set up troops for personal gain, and the local civil officials have no choice but to turn a blind eye and let it go. Now the situation of the army's fear of the enemy is serious, and if these knots make the battle not go all out, and the thieves take advantage of the loopholes, it will be a drag on the army's hind legs. Thousands of miles of embankment collapsed in the anthill, how can you win the battle without morale.

Establish the army's prestige, drum up morale, curb the decline, and win the battle, with this as the goal. Gao Yu decided to kill people and warn the three armies.

Promoted to general, Gao Yu said sharply to Wang Wende, who was already trembling: "As a general, you threw your soldiers on the battlefield and fled alone, and you still have the face to meet your own commander!" Wang Wende, are you guilty? ”

Wang Wende knew something was wrong when he saw Gao Yu's gloomy face, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, crying and shouting: "It's the thieves who are too cunning, they pretended to be Wang Huan and Xu Jing's team to attack us, and our army was caught off guard, so we were defeated!" Captain Wangtai gave the young general a chance to make meritorious contributions, and Wang must lead his troops into Shuibo and capture Song Jiang alive! ”

Gao Yu sneered: "One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies!" Wang Wende, no matter how many reasons you have, you can't hide the essence of your escape! Ben Shuai didn't understand that the dignified Heavenly Army was actually abused by thieves and bandits, and he was still spreading rumors about the invincibility of thieves in the army, messing with the hearts of our army! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Wang Wende, you better go underground to accompany those soldiers who gave their lives in vain! What's the use of leaving you idiot! Come on, pull it down and cut it! ”

When the generals saw that the captain was angry, who dared to intercede for Wang Wende, they were all so frightened that they looked at each other and were silent. Gao Yu saw that the effect was achieved, so he pointed to Wang Wende's head and said: "If anyone slacks off in the future, take this as an example!" The generals will strictly discipline the people, be careful to take precautions, wait for the water army, and then advance together by land and water, and take the water in one fell swoop! ”

However, he said that when Gao Yu waited for Liu Menglong to lead the naval army to arrive, he would send troops by land and water. Liu Menglong offered advice: "The thief wins first, and the edge has been revealed, so he will inevitably despise us." Our army should take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, highlight surprise troops, and attack Shuibo. Taiwei can lead troops to land battles, Liu is not talented, and is willing to lead the navy to be a surprise soldier, and secretly kill Liangshanbo along the waterway, so that the two do not care about each other. At this time, the thieves will inevitably be in chaos, and the captain will lead the army to cover up and kill, but he will defeat the thieves! ”

Gao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and sent Xiong Erdang Shixiong, who was familiar with water nature, to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to assist Liu Menglong in the water battle. The army took Jing Zhong and Zhang Kai as the vanguard of the front, Yang Wen as the left army, Han Cunbao as the right army, and Li Congji as the mobile rescue force, and personally killed the Chinese army to Liangshanbo.

Jing Zhong and Zhang Kai led the men and horses of the headquarters to rush to Liangshanbo with murderous spirits. Halfway through, he saw a cavalry of more than 100 people blocking the way. Jing Zhong sent out hundreds of people to meet the battle, to find out the truth, who knew that the thieves did not fight with them at all, and turned around and ran. The two were afraid of an ambush and repeat the mistakes of the past, and they did not dare to pursue rashly, and 20,000 people marched together.

If the officers and soldiers did not chase, the Liangshanbo soldiers ran meaninglessly, they turned their horses' heads, and more than 100 people lined up in a row and rushed towards the officers and soldiers. Jing Zhonghe was dumbfounded, more than 100 people were going to rush into the formation of 20,000 people? Act recklessly! Open the order not to use the bow and arrow, dodge the opening and let them rush in, and then surround and strangle.

When Liang Shanbo Haohan was about fifty paces away from the officers and soldiers, he suddenly stopped, took out his crossbow and fired, turned his head and left after shooting a box, and by the time the officers and soldiers were about to shoot or pursue, they were already far away.
