Chapter 33: The Iron Face

Because there was a time limit for escorting prisoners, Zhang Dutou led a team to escort the prisoner car slowly to the east. The weather was hot, and the army walked very slowly, and from time to time a sergeant took a leather bag to drink.

The mountain road was bumpy, and the wooden wheels of the prisoner cart swayed one after another. But Pei Xuan's mind was thinking, and he didn't know where Wang Lun would rescue him.

Umbrella Cover Mountain, is a continuous mountain range. The terrain of this mountain range is complex, but it is an important road. The front and back of the mountain are open official roads, but the entrance is narrow and difficult to pass.

This area of Umbrella Cover Mountain is full of large trees and dense grass. There are many wild beasts, and they are inaccessible.

Zhang Dutou walked into the umbrella cover mountain with the iron-faced face of Pei Xuan, he jumped on the horse with his knife, and shouted loudly: "Be smart, hurry up and cross the forest!" ”

The mountains here are high and the forests are evil, and Zhang Dutou is afraid of accidents and is very vigilant.

The soldiers were already working hard, and when they saw Zhang Du's order, they reluctantly obeyed. One by one, they staggered and moved listlessly.

"Sons, be careful!" Seeing that he had entered the mountain, Zhang Dutou put his mind at ease, "When I got out of the mountain, I beat the group and ate wine with the brothers!" ”

Zhang Dutou received Chai Jin's gift, and he was happy to reward his officers and soldiers.

The officers and men raised their spirits and walked forward less than half a mile when they suddenly heard a gong sound, followed by a field of feathered arrows.

The current five soldiers could not avoid it, and they were shot fiercely and lost their lives. This change surprised everyone, and the silent team suddenly became noisy. The soldier who shot the crossbow arrow through his neck covered his neck in disbelief and let out a desperate scream.

In the blink of an eye, four or five of his subordinates died in Huangquan, and Zhang Dutou was so angry that he went crazy. "There are strongmen! Be careful, there are strongmen! Zhang Dutou shouted loudly, intending to reorganize the team to meet the enemy.

"Kill!" More than 50 masked men jumped out of the mountains and forests, blocking Zhang Dutou and others from their way. A tall man carrying a steel knife led the team to charge.

"Thieves, dare to kill officers and soldiers, you can't rebel!" When Zhang Dutou saw the other party killing, he endured his fear, intending to intimidate the other party.

Ignoring the other party, another burst of feather arrows came, and Zhang Dutou was almost shot off the horse.

"Gather a crowd to rebel, kill and kill!" Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, Zhang Dutou instigated officers and soldiers to resist.

"Sons, kill all the bandits! We're doing it today. ”

A group of officers and soldiers were afraid of escaping from the battle, and they were bold enough to wield weapons to resist. How could they not go into battle for a long time, their martial arts were sparse, and they were killed and injured by the opponent's steel knife and spear on the first day of the new year.

As soon as they first fought, they were at a disadvantage and were surrounded by groups. Zhang Dutou saw that the situation was critical, and he didn't care about sparing his life. "Sons, kill with me!"

Now with one breath, the officers and soldiers can still fight each other. If you wait until the morale is gone, the situation will completely collapse and you will be slaughtered. Zhang Dutou knew this truth well, yelled, and killed him with a knife.

Pei Xuan saw it clearly in the prisoner car, and his heart was excited and excited. "These people are here to ambush me, and they should be here to save me."

Pei Xuan looked at the masked man who led the team, and felt that his intuition was familiar, and he should have seen it. I made up my mind that when I got out of the cage, I would definitely ask the other party's daimyo.

He was thinking that the masked man who took the lead had already been killed. "Good man! I'll get you out! ”

The man swiped a few knives and killed the soldiers in front of the prisoner cart. Another tall man approached, swung a hammer, and smashed the prisoner's cart.

"Don't go prisoner!" In the meantime, Zhang Dutou arrived with a few personal soldiers.

"Haha! I'll meet you! Seeing that Zhang Dutou was killed, the man with a sledgehammer strode up to meet him.

One on a horse, one on a horse, seems to be a huge disparity in strength, but in fact, it is not.

Zhang Dutou had just urged the horse to come closer, and the man with the hammer rose up bravely and made a move of "sweeping the fallen leaves", and knocked Zhang Dutou off the horse in just one moment.

The war horse fell to the ground and wailed, and Zhang Du's head also fell to the ground. The man was unceremonious, caught up with a step, and beat Zhang Dutou to the point that his brain was shattered.

Seeing this formation, the soldiers who were fighting separately were so frightened that their legs and stomachs turned and they ran away. The little colonel was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly, how could he stop it?

The little school didn't dare to care anymore and ran away. One by one, I hate my father and mother for giving two legs. The one who runs slowly is a ghost under the knife; Running fast, it's like a ghost door has been closed.

Pei Xuan just got out of the prisoner car and moved his muscles. The two men who took the lead killed the officers and soldiers and came to meet Pei Xuan together.

"I am Taibao Mountain Shiqi, following the orders of the Chai Daguan and Brother Wang Lun, I came to save you!"

"Thank you for saving your life!" Pei Xuan thanked Guo Shanshiqi, turned his head to another person and asked, "Dare to ask this hero's name?" ”

"I am under the command of Brother Wang Lun, Liangshan Bojin Leopard Yang Lin!"

But it turned out that Zhang Dutou was drinking in Chai Jin Xizhuang, and after Wang Lun learned of Pei Xuan's identity, he sent Shan Shiqi and Yang Lin to rescue people. The story of Wang Lunzhi's rescue of the Iron Face has been circulating in southwest Lu. Because Pei Xuan has been to Chai Jin Zhuang before and after, many people think that it is Chai Jin's credit.

For this reason, posterity praised:

Chai Jin is known as the little whirlwind, and he wisely saves Pei Xuan to show his prestige; Righteousness, wealth and righteousness, Liangshan Boli gather dragons.

Umbrella covered the mountain, Shan Shiqi and Yang Lin saved Pei Xuan's turn. Chai Jin Zhuang, Wang Lun and Chai Jin are also talking about Pei Xuan.

"This person enforces the law impartially and is not afraid of power, but he is really a good person in charge of military discipline!" Chai Jin listened to Pei Xuan's matter and was convinced.

In Wang Lun's opinion, Pei Xuan went to Liangshan, ranked 47th among the heroes of Liangshan after the seat was arranged, and was appointed to reward and punish the military and political chief.

Although Pei Xuan's position title sounds not small, it belongs to a high position and a light power. On Liangshan, it was extremely embarrassing, because Song Jiang covered the sky with one hand on Liangshan. Although there is a testimony, he has the final say in all things. Things such as Li Kui going down the mountain privately and releasing Gao Yu.

Pei Xuan, who could have made Liangshan a strict military discipline and a well-defined organization, was ultimately reduced to just an ornament. And Liangshan is inevitably the end of the reckless hero, a flash in the pan!

"With the help of this person, our unity soldiers can also have a competent military judge!"

Although Pei Xuan's entry into the gang is a sure thing, Wang Lun does not want to take Pei Xuan up the mountain, and now he and Chai Jin have formed another force.

Considering that he was in Shandong, and Xu Guanzhong was beyond the reach of himself in running the north, Wang Lun planned with Chai Jin to form a unity army in the past few days.

The Song people had their own tradition of "uniting the militia and forming associations to prepare". Since the Song Dynasty, it has been repeatedly invaded by foreigners, and the villagers are mostly equipped with knives, guns, bows and arrows to defend their homeland. This trend sprouted from the beginning of the Song Dynasty's unification war, and now it has gradually formed local armed forces with their own characteristics.

"History of the Song Dynasty" volume 187 "Bing" 1 is contained as "Benhezhou loyal martyrs, Xuan Yong can form an association to buy horses." "This is an early large-scale armed society in the border area of the early Song Dynasty, and it is a horse buying society. and "since the peace of the Yuanyuan, the people have united themselves into the Bow and Arrow Society." Another example is the land of Heshuo, where wars are frequent, "the people of Heshuo are angry at the rebellion and form their own patrol society." It is for the Loyal Society.

Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City are also folk group exercises, and they are family-style.

Therefore, Wang Lun also cooperated with Chai Jin to form a society and establish an armed team outside of Liangshan. With Chai Jin's face, the formalities are fully prepared, and Cangzhou Taishou is also happy to help.

It is worth mentioning that most of this team of united soldiers are tenants and doormen on Chai Jinzhuang, and some of them are outlaws and some combat power. Moreover, Chai Jin became the regimental training envoy of this team of united soldiers, and he practiced soldiers and horses every day, and he never got tired of it.
