Chapter 117: Second Anti-Encirclement and Suppression (1)
The county seat of Yuncheng is a hundred miles away from Liangshan Station, so it is naturally not possible to reach it in one day. A cadre of township brave militia is not a capable and strong soldier who travels 100 miles a day, they can't even travel 50 miles a day.
On the first day, Yang Zhi only led his troops for more than 20 miles. I had to find a nearby market town to live in. The gentry and landlords on the territory of Yuncheng are very welcoming to the officials and soldiers to suppress bandits, and Liangshan is a knife hanging over their heads. Not to mention anything else, but this winter, none of them dared to drink the blood of poor tenants by the means of the past, and no one dared to joke with their own lives.
But the loss is not small.
And it's just a winter, look at how many gentry and landlords in the counties around Liangshanbo have been exterminated and their homes have been raided? If they don't solve this big problem, their lives will never be comfortable. I will never be able to realize my grand ambition of turning all the land into my own home.
Therefore, these gentry and landlords were very zealous. There was no need for Yang Zhi to give any more orders, hot soup and hot water, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and a jar of wine were sent to the army. Yang Zhidu was a little dazed, he sincerely felt the joy and love in the hearts of the gentry and landlords in front of him, and the allusion of eating pot pulp to welcome the king seemed to be true. Yang Zhi, who had received countless blank eyes and vicious curses in the land south of the Yangtze River, was deeply happy.
It's just that Yang Zhi is not a fool, the joy faded for a while, and others realized why they were treated like this.
Thinking about it, but my heart is cold.
And not to mention this man who pays attention to glory physically and mentally, carries the burden of revitalizing the family, and cannot let the glory of his ancestors be tarnished, what does he think after understanding. This night, Wu Erlang lived a very happy life.
He fought ten bowls of wine with Chao Gai in a row, and directly poured down this Qilu tycoon he admired. There is also Zhu Tong, the head of the horsemen in Yuncheng County, who is also a man, bowls of wine poured into his stomach, and in the end, Wu Song didn't know how he returned to the room.
On the second day, Wu Song, who was hung by the god of wine, was refreshed, his head was not dizzy, and his legs were not weak; And Chao Gai and Zhu Tong are all listless and defeated roosters.
On this day, Yang Zhi led the army to march for about thirty miles, and there was only one day left before Liangshan Station. Yang Zhi began to guard people. You can't be negligent at night, especially for the Liangshan bandits.
Yang Zhi came to Jeju with all his hopes, and his goal was to raze Yangsan, so naturally he had to know more about Yangsan. He was afraid that Liangshan's name would be mixed with water, so he didn't dare to pick up his wealth and goods to pass by Liangshanbo, so he changed his way. But now, it seems that he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. But this matter, Yang Zhi has long been left behind, and what really woke him up was Lu Qian's achievements. One fire after another, Liangshan was not prosperous, and the officials and soldiers were not embarrassed.
Lu Qian is good at night fighting, and good at sneak attacks. Although from the perspective of the art of war, it is just a ghost trick, but Yang Zhi has to pay attention. Guy because he really can't afford to lose, and he doesn't have the capital to do it again.
Just looking at the attitude of Gao Yu, he knew that if there was no current battle of Liangshan, he would have been pushed out of the Taiwei Mansion that day.
Therefore, Yang Zhi cherishes this hard-won opportunity in front of him. And his subordinates are full of negligent and trained Tuyong, once they are attacked, the consequences are unimaginable.
It's a pity that he didn't know that in his team, there were not only Wu Song, a traitor who regarded Lu Qian as a great benefactor, but also Chao Gai, who reported to Liangshan.
At this time, Lu had already obtained the details of the official army in detail, and even knew the strength and configuration of Yang Zhi's team. At this time, the main force of the official army in Yuncheng County also went out of the city gate under the leadership of Dang Shixiong and drove towards Liangshan. There is a thirty-mile road between it and Yang Zhi's department, and the normal journey is about a day's journey.
It stands to reason that the vanguard of this officer army is really not weak. In addition to Yang Zhi, a person who surprised and surprised Lu Qian, there were also Wu Song, Chao Gai and Zhu Tong in the middle of the Eight Horses.
If it is a soldier who calls for a formation, the two great monks will not have much upper hand if they rush down. And that kind of fight is what weakens the prestige of Liangshan.
Under the oil lamp, Lu Qian looked at the map in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
Yang Zhi is very smart, he knows the pros and cons of Wenshui, and when he marched, he commanded the troops to avoid the line of Wenshui. Although the formation of the road was a little farther away, it was much safer. But the main force of the official army behind him, that is, the Dang Shixiong Department, was close to Wenshui.
Because the main force of Liangshan is in Wenshui. He is a dignified supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Jeju Prefecture, and he has 2,000 elite forbidden troops of the imperial court, can he still be cowardly and avoid war?
Therefore, the method of sending troops to help the water and taking the opportunity to attack and kill the lair of the Liangshan thieves does not need to be mentioned in front of him. Moreover, there were 5,000 men in his army, and his baggage was very heavy, and it was easy to transport them by water.
Five thousand men and horses marched along the west of Wenshui, and there were hundreds of large and small boats on the river, full of all kinds of supplies. In order to prevent the destruction of these transport ships, Dang Shixiong also specially ordered them to follow the army.
Wen Shui is only about 200 meters wide and narrow, and the Divine Arm Bow can easily block it. And winter has gone to spring, the northwest wind has disappeared, and now it is the east wind. Dang Shixiong also placed 200 archers in the front of the fleet, thinking that he was foolproof.
"Brother, this Dang Shixiong is a bit of a ghost idea. Every night, he would send a battalion of forbidden troops to camp on the other side of the river, and then select a dozen large and small boats, anchor them with heavy anchors, and then connect them with iron cables on the bow and hull of each boat. In order to prevent a sneak attack by our copycat water army. ”
With a boat line in front, even if the people and horses of Liangshan have ships to kill, they will not be able to pass for a while. And as long as there is time to alert the officers and soldiers, the crossbowmen under Dang Shixiong will surely call the attackers, and the casualties will be heavy.
Lu Qian had tried it, the perverted thing of the Divine Arm Bow, separated by a distance of one hundred and ten steps [one hundred and fifty meters], could definitely easily penetrate the wall of the ship. It is the infantry armor captured on the battlefield, which weighs less than fifty or sixty catties, but those iron armors are rarely less than thirty catties. It can be pierced even from a distance of 100 paces! But if you put it farther away, such as a hundred and fifty paces away, those forty or fifty pounds of iron armor will have a certain amount of security.
It turned out that Lu Qian's previous perception of the Divine Arm Bow was wrong. He had always thought that the Divine Arm Bow could shoot a mile away, and then it could pierce through the iron armor, which was really buggy. The firing range is more than 300 steps, but the effective firing range is not so long. Now to verify, this divine arm bow can penetrate the iron armor at a distance of 200 meters, although it is also very hanging, but after all, it is not too against the sky.
Moreover, the cost of this Divine Arm Bow is too high, the durability is not good, and the preservation needs to be careful, all of which limit its overall power. Otherwise, it's a bug.
With a range of 500 meters, and an accurate head, he can compare to a Minnie gun.
"Brother. This battle is related to the survival of Liangshan, and we must not be careless. "There is still a big worm standing next to Lu Qian, and he also knows the power of the divine arm bow. The four forbidden army camp heads transferred from outside have been specially strengthened, everyone is wearing armor, and the number of iron armor is more than thirty percent, but how many divine arms and bows are inside has always been a secret. Zhu Fu has been busy in Yuncheng County for so long, and the specific number of the Divine Arm Bow has still not been found out by him. Be a little more cautious. "These three battalions will be handed over to you." Not three battalions, but the third.
Xue Yong's target today is not Yang Zhi, but Dang Shixiong, the large army deployed by Dang Shixiong on the north bank, not the head of the forbidden army camp on the south bank with a lone battalion.
"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely disturb the Song army." Xue Yong's face was a little red. With such a big battle, this is a straight shot from the top of the mountain is fought by him, how can he not be nervous and excited?
The first time he went into battle, he led a battalion of minions. There is also full loyalty to Lu Qian in the bottom of his heart. He thinks that this first shot was taught to him by Lu Qian, which is his trust in himself and his importance. This is called Xue Yongzhen, who is backward in the family road and suffers from misery, can he not be swelled by others?
For a while, I didn't know how many swears he had sworn in my heart.
