Wang Huan and Mei Zhan led the army to the edge of Lijiadaokou Village, and saw a group of sergeants in the village rushing out from the west gate, for the first named Wang Huan called Wang Huan strong man is a victory, this guy left to watch the house last night, and then heard Yuan Lang say that Wang Huan's martial arts are good, suddenly itchy hands can't work, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come early this morning, so I couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately led my subordinates out to call the battle.

Wang Huanzheng and Mei Zhan were observing the terrain, and suddenly saw a soldier and horse in the village, and then heard someone shouting loudly about his challenge by name, so he followed the sound and looked, but saw a murderous man carrying a Xuanhua axe, pointing here and shouting loudly.

"This guy is rude, General Wang will rest first, and I will teach him a lesson."

When Mei Zhan saw it, she was already annoyed in her heart, and she didn't wait for Wang Huan to agree, picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife, and immediately slapped her horse and rushed into the venue.

Seeing that the opposite side came to ride, he thought it was Wang Huan, and then excitedly raised the big axe to meet him, and then killed a ball of one knife and one axe and two horses and eight hooves in the field, but only killed thirty or forty he, and Mei Zhan gradually lost his support. Wang Huan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately drove his horse in to replace him.

The excitement of the victory, but when he saw that the other party had changed to a veteran, he suddenly remembered that this person was similar to what Yuan Lang said. I can't help but say:

"It turns out that that guy is not Wang Huan, no wonder he will meet you again without beating."

In the middle of that, the two killed in one place again. It's only three or five together, and the victory secretly applauded, I didn't expect this veteran to be old, but his marksmanship was so exquisite, no wonder Yuan Lang was obedient to him, but he was also a person who refused to admit defeat, and he used all his skills to concentrate on dealing with him at the moment.

Let's say that one of these two people is old and strong, and the other is in his youth, that Wang Huan made the gun like a python out of the cave, and this is like a tiger out of the old forest with an axe, and the two of them rode back and forth in the field and killed nearly a lily. After all, Wang Huan was old, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted, and when he was thinking about how to withdraw, he saw that the opponent actually stopped the offensive first, and saw him say:

"The old general is a hero, if he wins with physical strength, he is not a very good man, today is the first to come, tomorrow he will take care of his body and then come to kill a good man."

Then, in Wang Huan's surprised expression, the man and his subordinates retreated into the village in an orderly manner, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the team of thousands of people all disappeared behind the small drawbridge.

"The soldiers and horses of this Liangshan are really different, not to mention the courage and extraordinary courage of the few generals I have met in the past few days, just looking at his posture of retreating, you can know how skilled they are in the past, and our officers and soldiers are already inferior to this end."

At this time, Mei Zhan had also come to Wang Huan's side, and he looked at the guards who disappeared into the village and said with emotion.

"Alas! This battle is getting harder to fight! ”

Wang Huan sighed and said nothing more.

On this night, the officers and soldiers were stationed outside the village at the entrance of Lijia Road, and the two main generals did not sleep well all night for fear of being suddenly stolen from the camp, but the strange thing is that the Liangshan army that was close at hand did not move all night.

Gu Haotian has come to Lijiadaokou since yesterday morning, and after Yuan Lang and Zhang Shun reported the attack on the camp at night, he paid more attention to this Henan and Hebei Jiedu Wang Huan. "Water Margin" records that he is the first person in the ten sections, when the sun went out to invite the battle, Song Jiang once said, "You are too old to contribute to the country", it can be seen that the age is indeed not small, but even so, he and Lin Chong still fought seventy or eighty times without winning or losing, which is really admirable. At that time, Yuan Lang said that he was a hero, so he was even more curious, so he agreed to the request of Yuan Sheng to fight.

Wang Huan and Yu won a dragon and tiger battle, and they fought more than 100 times. Gu Haotian stood on the hill at the entrance of the Li family and watched intently, in his opinion, Wang Huan had a long beard and a gray beard, and he had to be at least fifty or sixty years old, but he was at the same time, and he was unstoppable

Yong, he actually fought more than 100 times, but it was not easy for a reckless man like Yu Sheng to be respected.

Such an old hero is one of the few treasures in the Great Zhou world! Protect him no matter what! Gu Haotian had such thoughts at that time, so after the war, he no longer ordered to harass him.

Wang Huan and Mei Zhan didn't know Gu Haotian's thoughts, and after a night of calm, the two got together to ponder the intentions of the Liangshan army.

"General Wang, according to the two battles between the night before and yesterday, Liang Shan has at least more than 10,000 people in this village, and there are many brave generals, so it is said that he took the initiative to attack us, and why has there been no movement since last night?"

"The old man is also very puzzled! It's just that at the moment, it seems that if you want to attack the village but it is already very difficult, let the subordinates defend the camp first, and report the news to Jeju! ”

In the two battles, Wang Huan, a veteran of the battlefield, already knew the strength of Liangshan, and he was only a small Zhuangzi at present, and it was still so difficult, and it was even more difficult to attack Liangshan.

On that day, the two armies were separated by a small river, and they maintained an eerie calm. But in Jeju City, far away from the Li family crossing, Gao Yu got a piece of news that made him very angry:

Wang Huan, Mei Zhan and Liangshan Caokou looked at each other across the river, sympathized with each other, and the two were safe.

Go to the Li family crossing now! Gao Yu immediately ordered Dang Shiying to lead 10,000 forbidden troops, Zhongshan Anping Jiedu to make Zhang Kai, Yunzhong Anmen Jiedu to make Han Cunbao each lead the headquarters, a total of more than 40,000 troops to set off immediately. In Jeju City, only Xu Jing, the envoy of the Taiyuan Festival, Li Congji, the envoy of the Hanyang Festival of Longxi, Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jiankang Water Division, and Xiang Yuanzhen, the envoy of the Langya Pengcheng Festival, who was seriously injured, totaled more than 10,000 people.

After an emergency march for more than a day, Gao Yu led the army to reach the Lijia Road crossing in the afternoon of the next day.

Wang Huan and Mei Zhan had already received the news and greeted them outside the gate early. However, Gao Yu didn't give him any good faces, he looked at them coldly, and went into the camp by himself. The two of them were stunned and didn't know why, but they saw Zhang Kai come to his side and whispered:

"There is a rumor that the two generals are afraid to fight, and the lieutenant is very angry, and he will have to deal with it carefully in front of him later."

How could there be such a thing! Wang Huan and Mei Zhan looked at each other for a while, and their hearts couldn't help but be clouded.

"The two of you have been marching here for a few days, why don't you want to make progress across the river?"

In the Chinese military tent, Gao Yu looked at the two people standing under the tent and asked sternly.

"It's not that the subordinates are unwilling to march, but in fact they are unable to attack, this place is surrounded by water, there are walled walls along the coast, only an entrance in the middle, and we have no ships, it is really difficult to do anything."

Wang Huan was confident, and replied calmly after asking.

"Then what do you say when you let go of the thief in front of the battle?"

Seeing him pleading, Gao Yu immediately asked coldly.

"Let go of the thieves! Where does this begin? ”

Wang Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered the battle with the big man with the axe that day, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"If you say that the battle a few days ago was a fluke escape, then there is a cheek to say that let people go, more than 10,000 people in this battle army have seen it with their own eyes, and the captain only needs to verify that if there is a false willingness to engage in military law."

"Before General Wang was in battle, he was indeed invincible, and the young general was willing to protect his life with his own life."

At this time, Mei Zhan couldn't listen to it on the side, and immediately came out to testify. The rest of the festival envoys also knew that Wang Huan was a person, and they also opened their mouths to intercede.

Gao Yu saw that everyone spoke for him, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he put it down for the time being. Immediately, he ordered all armies to prepare and attack Lijiadaokou tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Gao Yu led the army to stand outside the village, and sure enough, he saw that there was a wide water outside, and it was difficult for the infantry to cross. He ordered Wang Jin, an accompanying Jeju official, to take a team of officers and soldiers to the surroundings

The village looted boats.

At this time, after receiving the military order, he immediately rushed to several surrounding villages with hundreds of officers and soldiers, and after a burst of chickens and dogs, he gathered forty or fifty large and small boats.

The moat at the crossing of Lijia Road was only a few zhang wide, and Gao Yu ordered everyone to build a pontoon bridge, but how could the people of Liangshan Shouzhuang let him get his wish, and for a time the arrows on the wall rained down, and the officers and soldiers could not succeed for a while.

That Wang Jin was anxious to make meritorious service, so he said on the side of Gao Yu: "The captain might as well pull the boat ashore with the sergeant, tie the nails firmly and then push the general, and the thief soldier will be helpless." ”

Gao Yu was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately followed the plan, binding six or seven pontoon bridges several zhang wide after an hour, and then under the cover of shield soldiers, hundreds of people pushed the pontoon bridge into the river, just enough to reach the banks on both sides.

In the Lijia Road crossing, Gu Haotian and others clearly saw the behavior of the officers and soldiers, and knew that an offensive and defensive battle was inevitable, and in this several zhang wide river, Zhang Shun's sailors were not easy to go out, so they could only rely on infantry to defend. Of course, there is another method that can also be used, that is, bombs, but he doesn't want to use this kind of killing weapon yet, in case he scares Gao Yu and the others back, it will affect his other combat plan.

"The officers and soldiers are about to storm it, are you sure to hold this wall?"

Gu Haotian looked at the several battalion commanders around him and asked. Because of the adjustment of the battle plan, the General Staff transferred the Third Infantry Regiment over yesterday, and at this time there were Yuan Lang, Ji Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Gu Bo, Shi Jin, and others standing beside him.

"The little officials have the most experience in guarding the wall, and I already have experience in the battle of Feihuyu that day, so let us go up."

Seeing this, he desperately competed for the task.

But Yuan Lang agreed, and he immediately shouted with angry eyes: "Brother Yusheng, I have been staying here for a whole year, and I finally looked forward to a deal, but you came to fight, and there is a guest like you." ”

Yu Sheng was robbed by Yuan Lang, and he had nothing to say for a while, and everyone knew that he was arguing, so no one spoke again, but Yuan Lang and Zou Run went to the riverbank wall angrily.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle started in the afternoon, Gu Hao's first and third regiments gathered archers to cover on both sides, but in front of them were Yuan Lang and Zou Run's 2,000 infantry as the main force. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers rushed over from several pontoon bridges under the personal supervision of Gao Yu, but people kept falling into the icy river water in the rain of arrows, and even if they attacked the opposite bank, the slippery river bank and high wall were obstacles that they could not overcome. In just half an hour, the moat was full of floating corpses, and the water was red.

"Tai Lieutenant, you can't fight like this anymore, this is to see this brother die!"

Wang Huan looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his heart ached, the first batch of attackers were his and Mei Zhan's subordinates, watching them die senselessly one by one, he couldn't help it anymore.

But Gao Yu was indifferent to his words, he just watched indifferently as teams of soldiers stepped onto the end of their lives.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle continued until dusk, and thousands of casualties did not open a single gap in the wall of the Li family's road crossing. In the rear, Zhang Shun took the opportunity to sneak attack the soldiers' camp and ignited a fire, and Gao Yu ended the battle in a panic.

The army retreated, and there was a mess on both sides of the riverbank, and Wang Huan personally led a team of his subordinates to clean up the mess. On the banks of the river, on the pontoons, and even in the river, there were many moaning wounded in this fashion. Wang Huan took off his armor and wore a short shirt, like an old father, and then calmly walked towards the blood-stained pontoon.

"General!"

Mei Zhan looked at the other side worriedly, and then screamed softly behind him.

Wang Huan looked back and saw that his complicated eyes were full of worry, he was slightly stagnant, but he took steps without hesitation.
