Xia Cheng laughed when he heard this, patted his chest and shouted: "Grandma is a bear, it's good, this is what our Dongting Lake gentlemen should look like, then let's have a good comparison today, if anyone wins, everyone toasts him together after the officers and soldiers are retired, and the brothers say okay?" ”

His voice was very loud, and his voice spread far away in Shuizhai, and thousands of people in the audience responded in unison, like thunder, and the atmosphere of the audience instantly soared to the highest, as if everyone was not in a murderous battlefield where the knife was licking blood, but like going to eat a big meal.

Du Jia also felt that his blood was boiling, and his heart was no wonder that only the men who had fought on the battlefield were real men, this kind of atmosphere on the battlefield was definitely not something that could be found in the books, so although literati could also read military books and read the art of war, even better than military generals, but it was difficult for them to have the momentum of this kind of hot-blooded men, although it is very important to strategize, but no matter how good the plan and tactics are, they must be executed by the soldiers on the battlefield.

The officers and men were preparing for a large-scale attack, but they were all startled when they heard and saw the earth-shattering momentum that suddenly erupted in the Dongting Lake Water Village, and they saw that the generals led by them raised their hands, and their drumming soon stopped, and the boats also stopped.

It turned out that the general headed by the officers and soldiers this time was Chen Chang, the training envoy of the Jingzhou Navy and Army, in addition to the minister sent by the imperial court this time, Huang Guo, the squire of the military department, Chen Chang is well versed in the art of war, especially good at water warfare, and the previous series of battles with Dongting Lake made him understand that this group of water thieves is by no means easy, whether it is tactical cultivation or combat effectiveness, it is not weak, and the morale is not comparable to the officers and soldiers of their own side, but the equipment, number and supply are relatively poor.

Therefore, after learning a lesson, he set the tactic of 'encircling but not attacking', and by the way, he was still digging their corners, just waiting for the other side to collapse, and this saw that victory was in sight, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill Liangshan halfway, and completely destroyed his plan.

When he saw Zhou Zhou, who had escaped after swimming several miles secretly from the waterway last night, and listened to the latest battle report he reported, Chen Chang was angry and fell several things on the spot, but after he regained his composure, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to attack again quickly, and it would be even more troublesome after those bandits had completely recovered.

Therefore, he announced that he would go on the offensive again early in the morning, but from a distance, he saw that the bandits on the opposite side of the water village were all high morale, and the killing sound was shocking, and Chen Chang, who had a lot of combat experience, understood that the actual situation was even more serious than what Zhou Zhou said, and the morale of this group of thieves was even stronger than at the beginning, and it was absolutely necessary to pay a great price to deal with them.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw Zhou Zhou smiling beside him, and his heart suddenly moved, and he waved his hand and greeted: "Zhou Tizhi, you fled desperately yesterday and came back to report the news, and this marshal is about to reward you heavily, just see if you are wholeheartedly devoted to the imperial court." ”

Zhou Zhou was named the magistrate because of his previous merits, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and said: "Enshuai is very gracious, the last general is unforgettable, I am absolutely loyal to the court now, please rest assured." ”

Chen Chang said with a "kind" smile: "This loyalty is not just said by mouth, it must depend on the specific action, this commander wants to reward you again, but after all, you are from those 'stubborn bandits', all the generals are a little suspicious of you, if you really want to go to the battlefield, will you show mercy to your sworn brothers?" ”

Zhou Zhou was taken aback, and immediately kowtowed again and said: "Please rest assured, the villain has already broken off with those thieves, and those guys killed Brother Li Kai and ridiculed and abused me in all kinds, they didn't treat me as a brother at all, I can't wait to kill them, how can I be merciful to their subordinates?" ”

Chen Chang smiled and said: "This is very good, then you can go and shout to them again, let them all obey my heavenly soldiers like you, except for Yang Qi and Du Jia, the rest of the people will not be guilty as long as they put down their weapons, okay, go." ”

Zhou Zhou was shocked when he heard this, and the cold sweat on his head flowed down directly, and now the heroes of Dongting Lake are probably eager to pick his skin, let him go up and shout to persuade him to surrender, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog?

He was about to distinguish a few words with a bitter face, but saw Chen Chang's face sink first: "Huh? Why, does Zhou Tisha have something to say, don't you want to prove your loyalty to the imperial court? ”

In fact, Chen Chang asked Zhou Zhou to do this for a reason, he felt that he could humiliate those thieves, and secondly, he also tried to make Zhou Zhou shake their military hearts, as for the danger that Zhou Zhou might encounter, it was not within the scope of his consideration, this kind of waste died and died, and it was better for him to die than to sacrifice his own men.

With Chen Chang's words, all the soldiers around him immediately turned their faces, and Zhou Zhou was so frightened that he almost lost his soul - this is the treatment of surrender, don't look at him being named a magistrate, but even a tooth general will not put him in his eyes, just because he ran out of the so-called 'thief', so he doesn't have any choice at all now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou had to grit his teeth and take a few of his relatives to take a small boat to the water village, along the way his mood was also very complicated, he knew that the surrendered officers and soldiers were not taken seriously at all, and if he was called as cannon fodder, he should not have chosen this road, even if he died in battle over there, he would have a good reputation, and here Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, not a person inside and out.

But now it's too late to regret it, seeing that there are still more than 400 meters away, he let the boat stop, and then squeezes out a smile and sings: "How are the brothers? ”

Seeing that it was Zhou Zhou who came to Dongting Lake, the steel teeth were about to be crushed, Xia Cheng shouted: "Dog thief, who is your brother!" You fucking close your beak, the word 'brother' comes out of your mouth, Lao Tzu is about to vomit when he hears it, you come here, Lao Tzu is going to teach you a good lesson. ”

The rest of the people were also all kinds of angry scolding, but Zhou Zhou could only continue with a smile: "Everyone, listen to my words, the court is full of people and well-equipped, it is by no means comparable to us, and if we continue to fight, we will definitely be wiped out, Chen Dashuai is willing to accept everyone's surrender because of the virtue of a good life, he promised that the past things will be written off, little brother This is all for everyone's sake, as the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, we are just fishermen and boatmen in Dongting Lake, isn't it good to live a peaceful life, Why follow that Yang Mi to drill a dead end? ”
