Guan Sheng had strict orders from the supervising army, and he had no choice but to instruct his younger brother to lead his troops to seek fighters.

Hao Siwen also learned eighteen martial arts since childhood. Those who are familiar with the books of war and war have just never been useful.

This time, he got Guan Sheng's military order, and he was careful all the way to find the flaws in Liangshan.

In the afternoon of the same day, I finally found a boundary, with continuous hills, covering the official army Dazhai, and it was two or three miles down the mountain in Liangshan.

Hao Siwen said in his heart: It is best to camp here and ambush Liangshan!

Leading the soldiers into the woods, Hao Siwen saw that the forest was a little quiet and abnormal, and immediately restrained the soldiers and horses. Send someone into the woods to take a look.

Li Kui, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon led a thousand regiments of soldiers to defend in the forest.

Wang Lun knew that Xiao Guansheng was not idle, so he made careful arrangements around Liangshan.

Seeing that Hao Siwen stopped his soldiers and horses, he sent people to the forest again,?? Li Kui was already impatient to wait, so he said, "Let's rush out and kill him for a while." ”

When Jiao Ting heard this, he hurriedly said: "My brother has an order, if we are seen through, we will withdraw from the forest, and they will not be able to catch up." ”

Li Kui was thrown by Jiao Ting a few times, and he was also a little afraid of him, and said with a smile: "If you don't even dare to fight the officers and soldiers, go back and eat the laughter of the brothers." Besides, I am the main general, and I will not violate the military order when I fight the first battle. ”

Xiang Chong also wanted to make meritorious contributions, and said: "What Brother Tie Niu said is that it is not good to say it, and there are other brothers in the back to respond." ”

"Kill......"

Li Kui didn't wait for Jiao Ting to speak, so he shouted and rushed out.

Seeing this, Jiao Ting had no choice but to rush out. Naturally, the regimental soldiers followed closely.

Hao Siwen had already transferred the archers, and when he saw that there was indeed an ambush, he waved his hand and said, "Release the arrows." ”

At the sound of the order, the archers began to shoot arrows towards the edge of the forest.

Seeing this, Xiang Chong and Li Gon hurriedly stepped forward to protect Li Kui and Jiao Ting, but fortunately, the arrows were not dense, and the two of them made a good team, but the four leaders were all unharmed.

The other regimental soldiers were also basically uninjured.

Hao Siwen was stunned when he saw that almost no one fell under the arrow.

Although thousands of arrows were shot together, and there were not a few arrows distributed to everyone, the momentum of ten thousand arrows was still very intimidating, and it was still difficult to block all the arrows.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Li Kui and the others had few casualties, but they were about to rush forward.

Seeing this, Hao Siwen hurriedly shouted: "The archers retreat, and the spearmen step forward." ”

Seven or eight out of ten of the Northern Song Dynasty troops were archers, and the rest were spearmen to defend the archers and prevent the cavalry from charging.

The front row of the officers and soldiers soon set up a gun array.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers no longer fired arrows, and no longer cared about Xiang Chong, who had just covered him, Li Kui pulled out his feet and rushed towards the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Hao Siwen saw Li Kui's hideous face and stout figure, and couldn't help laughing: "It is said that how good the heroes of Liangshan are, it turns out that they are just such pickled villagers, it is strictly forbidden, you take a hundred horse troops to attack the flank of the Liangshan bandits, and after breaking through, they will go around to the front of the forest to prevent the Liangshan bandits from entering the forest again." ”

It was strictly forbidden to hear this, so he ordered a hundred soldiers and horses to go around the regimental soldiers from the flank.

Jiao Ting saw a horse army rushing towards him, and hurriedly shouted: "Tie Niu, the officers and soldiers have a horse army, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will not be able to retreat." ”

Li Kui didn't hear it, and rushed over with the spearmen in front.

"Kill"

When the gunmen in the front row saw Li Kui rushing towards him, they shouted, so they raised their spears together and stabbed at Li Kui.

Li Kui saw four or five spears stabbing at him, but he grinned, swept the axe in his hand, cut off all the spears, and then continued to kill several pikemen.

The pikemen in the front row saw that Li Kui was coming so violently, and hurriedly dodged and retreated to the back.

The pikemen in the second row stepped forward, and several spears stabbed at Li Kui together.

Li Kui cut off the spear with another board axe, and had already grabbed the pikemen, and cut down several people with the board axe, and then crashed into the formation and slashed and killed wantonly.

The regimental soldiers in the back also took the opportunity to pour into the formation and fight.

Hao Siwen didn't expect Li Kui to be so fierce, seeing that the sergeants couldn't stop Li Kui, he hit the horse and stabbed Li Kui with one shot.

Li Kui was about to receive a reward for his meritorious service and buy wine and food, when he saw the officers and soldiers coming over, he was also overjoyed, and he slashed at Hao Siwen's steel spear with an axe.

Hao Siwen saw Li Kui slash with an axe, his arm shrank, and the gun flashed past Li Kui's plate axe, and then another shot stabbed Li Kui's chest like lightning.

Li Kui's left-handed axe slashed into the air, and when he saw Hao Siwen stabbing at him with another shot, he hurriedly took his right-handed axe and slashed it again.

Hao Siwen saw that Li Kui made a double axe, and the move naturally would not make him old, and the spear was withdrawn again.

Li Kui's two axes were all cut into the air, and his arms were crossed, and the plate axe was protected on his chest.

Hao Siwen couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Kui's clumsy appearance.

This black man is just a brute force, and he is not afraid of death, and he is indeed a good hand when he charges into battle, but when he encounters a martial arts general, he can play him to death.

Li Kui saw Hao Siwen laughing at him, and couldn't help screaming angrily, and he came to chop Hao Siwen's horse leg with a board axe.

Jiao Ting also rushed up at this time, seeing Hao Siwen's strong martial arts, he hurriedly grabbed Li Kui and said: "This guy is strong in martial arts, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave, and the brothers in the back will be scattered by the Ma army." ”

Li Kui turned around and saw that a regimental player behind him was knocked into by the officers and soldiers Ma Jun, and couldn't help but shout in distress: "Retreat, retreat." ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered the formation of officers and soldiers next to him, covering the retreat of his regimental players.

Hao Siwen was also stunned when he saw that Li Kui, a reckless man, actually knew how to escape with the help of his own soldiers and horses.

Li Kui couldn't fight him, but when he entered the ranks of officers and soldiers, he was like a tiger entering a flock, and no one could do it.

Seeing this, Hao Siwen hurriedly chased after him.

Seeing that he was about to chase Li Kui's back, a flying knife suddenly flew from the oblique stab, and Hao Siwen hurriedly ducked on the saddle to dodge.

Xiang Chong saw that he couldn't beat Hao Siwen, so he took a flying knife in his hand, and threw it at Hao Siwen's war horse, hitting the horse's hips.

The war horse was in pain and couldn't help but scream. Jump up and down.

Hao Siwen might as well shoot the war horse, and was almost thrown off the horse, so he could only clamp the horse's belly and pull the reins violently, hoping that the war horse would stop.

Waiting for Hao Siwen to appease the war horse, Li Kui and the others had already gone out of the battle.

"Come on, change my horse."

Hao Siwen looked at Li Kui and the others who had not fled far, and couldn't help but be furious, so he changed to a personal soldier's war horse, and led the troops to catch up.

Jiao Ting saw that there were already a hundred horse troops guarding the edge of the forest. As soon as they are slightly blocked, the pursuers behind will surround them and hurriedly shout: "Run around the forest and run ahead." ”

Hao Siwen had also seen Xiang Chong with a flying knife in his back, hated him for shooting his beloved horse just now, and led the troops to chase Xiang Chong.

looked at it and was about to catch up, but Hao Siwen heard a burst of dust rising from the edge of the forest, and the earth seemed to tremble, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted, "Form a formation." Hurry up. ”

The officers and men also felt the tremor of the earth, and hurriedly gathered in a panic.

Before the formation was formed, I saw a horse army suddenly come out of the main road on the edge of the forest.

Li Kui recognized Sun Li and Sun Xin as brothers.

When Li Kui and the others saw Sun Li rushing over, they hurriedly took the soldiers and horses to the side. Get out of the way.

Sun Li didn't answer, and led the horse army to rush to the officers and soldiers.

Hao Siwen knew that Sun Li could be compared to Guan Sheng, and he was not an opponent at all.

The formation, which was already not in good shape, was suddenly rushed open by Sun Li, and the Liangshan horse army behind also followed, constantly expanding the gap.

Hao Siwen was caught in the Liangshan Horse Army, but he couldn't retreat, so he could only rush forward and kill.

Not long after, he actually killed Ma Jun and rushed out.

As soon as Hao Siwen rushed out, he bumped into Li Kui and rushed with the regimental soldiers.

Hao Siwen saw that his front army had been rushed to pieces, and he was afraid of falling into a heavy encirclement, so he didn't dare to fight again, so he ran into the oblique thorn after hitting the horse.

When Li Kui saw it, he wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Jiao Ting, so he had to fight into the ranks of officers and soldiers.

Hao Siwen fled for a few miles, and when he saw that no one was chasing, he saw that the remnants of the defeated army were fleeing, so he gathered the rout along the road and came to the Chinese army behind.

Guan Sheng also got the news at this time, and brought troops to help, and saw Hao Siwen fleeing with some remnants of the defeated generals, so he hurriedly stopped: "How many bandits are there in Liangshan?" ”

Hao Siwen looked at Guan Sheng with an embarrassed face, and said: "A thousand regiment players and five or six hundred horse troops, when chasing and killing group players, they were killed by the Liangshan horse army and disrupted the formation. ”

Guan Sheng nodded and said: "Even if you form a formation, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the five or six hundred horse army, go, go up with me to repel this group of thieves." ”

Guan Sheng led the army all the way to collect the rout, and when he arrived at Niuweipo, there was no trace of Liangshan soldiers and horses.

That night, when he set up camp and counted the soldiers and horses, more than 1,000 people had been killed in Hao Siwen's 3,000-strong army.

In the big tent, Guan Sheng looked at the dejected Hao Siwen and said with a smile: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but after a small setback, the horse army will be destroyed in the coming day." ”

Xuanzan also said: "Exactly, and this defeat is not unjust." The imperial court has always had few horses, and there has been peace with the Liao State for nearly a hundred years, and the soldiers have long lost the courage to resist the horse army. Even if you don't chase that group of players, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the charge of the horse army. ”

The three of them talked about military affairs for a while, and Guan Sheng suddenly frowned, and said: "Today, the Liangshan bandits attacked our front army, and I am afraid that they will take advantage of the panic of our army to rob the village at night." ”

Hao Siwen was about to take revenge, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Brother Guan Sheng gave me a soldier and horse, and I will take them to ambush outside the village. ”

Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen have been friends for many years, and they know his martial arts strategy, and they didn't distrust him because of today's small defeat, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will divide your 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush outside the village, and when I heard the big village bulging, I killed the thief from the flank." After late at night, you will lead the troops out of the village quietly, so that no Liangshan spies will see it outside the village. ”

After speaking, he praised Xuan: "The soldiers in the herald camp will not leave their swords and armor, and they will ambush in the tent, and the drums of Dazhai will be beaten together, and they will kill at the camp gate." ”

The three of them deliberated carefully for a while, and then went to prepare.
