Chapter 54: The Soldier's Trick (8)

Tong Guan transferred the army and appointed Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Xiangzhou Soldiers and Horses, as the front army, Xin Xingzong, the commander of the Zhongzhou Soldiers and Horses, as the rear army, the two generals of the Dragon and Tiger, Yumei and Bi Sheng, as the wings of the Chinese army, and Tong Guan as the marshal, wearing his whole body, and personally supervising the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.

The drums of war sounded, and the three armies marched.

The officers and soldiers walked no more than ten miles, and in the distance, the Liangshan army greeted each other.

The two armies were not far apart, and they were only about 400 paces apart before they both stopped at the end of their horses.

Seeing the arrival of the Liangshan army, Liu Yanqing hurriedly sent someone to inform the Chinese army, and after the commander Tong Guan heard it, he ordered the whole army to set up a four-door fighting bottom formation to wait for the Liangshan bandits.

He took Yumei and Bi Sheng to the front of the army to observe.

The front army of the Liangshan Army was laid out, and the shield soldiers on both sides were stationed together. Shi Jin, the master of Liangshanzhai Nine-Pattern Dragon, rode a charcoal red horse and stood in front of the battle.

Behind him were Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Suo Chao, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, Wang Ying, Song Wan, and Du Qian.

The wings of the Chinese army are the 1,000 bow and arrow battalions led by Xiao Li Guanghuarong and Xiao Yang led by Ji Pang Wanchun.

On the right flank were two thousand pikemen led by the leopard head Lin Chong and Ou Peng. On the right flank are Li Kui and Ma Lin leading two thousand sword and shield soldiers:

The 300 cavalry battalions led by Luan Yanyu and Yuan Lang swam on both sides and could support the whole army at any time.

Tong Guan observed the Liangshan Army, and looked at the Liangshan Army Station as quiet as a forest, as immobile as a mountain, and couldn't help but sigh: "From the neat lineup of these thieves, we can know why those officers and soldiers before surrounded and suppressed the Liangshan bandits, and they all returned in defeat, this gang of thieves is really not to be underestimated!" ”

The formation of the army has not yet been completely laid out, and Tong Guan intends to see if this Liangshan army is real or good.

He turned around and shouted, "Which general dares to call for battle?" ”

Before Tong Guan's subordinates could answer, Qin Ming stepped forward and jumped out of the horse, leaning over and shouting to Tong Guan: "The young general is willing to go, begging for Jun's will." ”

Look at Qin Ming, just to see if this guy is really right, Tong Guan nodded and agreed.

Tong Guan waved his hand, making the flag waver, and the golden drum in the army suddenly sounded.

Qin Ming Pegasus came out of the battle, and when the officers and soldiers saw someone going into battle, they immediately shouted in unison to cheer for him.

When Qin Ming was nearly two hundred steps away from the Liangshan army, he stopped his horse and shouted: "Brave grass coward, the heavenly soldiers are here, and if they don't surrender, do you have to wait until the flesh and bones turn into mud before you regret it!" ”

Seeing that it was Qin Ming, the impatient pioneer Suo Chao immediately rode out and shouted angrily: "Repeated and unrighteous dog thief, take your life!" ”

Suo Chao danced the golden axe and took Qin Ming directly.

The two horses intersected, and the weapons were raised together, one of which smashed the head of the rod, and the other made the axe cut off.

The second future will come and go, turning over and over, fighting for more than 20 times, regardless of victory or defeat.

Qin Ming sold a flaw, and then his body flashed, and Suo Chao's axe slashed from his nose.

Qin Ming saw the opportunity, picked up the mace in his hand, and smashed it on Suo Chao's armor.

Suo Chao screamed, and suddenly fell off the horse with a thud, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, and Wang Ying saw Suo Chao fall off the horse, and the three of them flew out at the same time, shouting: "The thief is rampant, watch me Yan Shun take your life!" ”

Seeing that Qin Ming had grabbed the lead, Hu Yanzhuo immediately pondered: "Don't take this opportunity to catch an enemy general, and atone for the crime, when will you wait!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo shouted, like a thunderbolt in front of the battle, holding a water-mill eight-sided steel whip in both hands, slapped the horse, and rushed straight towards Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, and Wang Ying. "It's shameless, I want to win with more bullying and less!"

When Zheng Tianshou and Wang Ying heard it, they immediately turned their horses' heads and killed Hu Yanzhuo.

The two generals attacked Hu Yanzhuo, but they still couldn't win each other. Wang Ying, who was terrible, fought for seven or eight rounds, and his strength began to fail, and dangers were frequent.

Seeing that Wang Ying was in danger, Shi Jin shouted loudly: "Hu Yanzhuo's guy can't be dealt with alone, let's go together!" ”

With Shi Jin's order, the originally neat Liangshan army suddenly shouted and rushed up, killing the officers and soldiers.

Zheng Tianshou and Wang Ying on the left, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu in the middle, Lu Fang and Guo Shengqi on the right, and six people attacked Hu Yanzhuo.

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't stop it, so he could only pull out his horse and walk back.

Han Tao and Peng Xi saw that Hu Yanzhuo was in danger and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Qin Ming and Yan Shun fought, Hu Yanzhuo fought with one to four, and Han Tao intercepted Lu Fang and Peng Xi to fight against Guo Sheng.

Eleven people fought, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

Shi Jin led the Liangshan Army straight to the position of the officers and soldiers.

Tong Guan saw that the Liangshan thieves had all been killed, and said disdainfully: "I thought it was amazing, thieves are thieves, and fighting is just relying on a fierce courage, and there is no discipline at all." It's okay to bully those timid forbidden soldiers, but in front of the prime minister, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”

Seeing Liang Shanjun rushing over, Tong Guan was not afraid.

Liang Shanjun approached four hundred paces...... 300 steps......

When he only rushed to two hundred steps, Tong Guan's eyes opened and he shouted, "Launch!" ”

In the lineup of the Chinese army's forbidden army, Ling Zhen heard Tong Guan's order, he waved his hand, and more than 200 catapults that had been prepared early in the morning were all in unison.

Boulders mixed with thunderbolts fell on the Liangshan army, and suddenly some soldiers were stoned to death.

More than 200 catapults were in unison, and the continuous artillery stones brought a lot of casualties to the Liangshan army.

Zhu Wu was horrified when he saw it, and he shouted at Shi Jin: "Big brother, the artillery stones of the officers and soldiers have done too much damage to us, let's withdraw first!" ”

Shi Jin saw the frightened expressions of the soldiers of the Liangshan Army under the cannon stones, and the lineup was also confused.

He shouted, "Retreat, retreat first!" ”

Hearing the order of the big leader to retreat, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army hurriedly turned around and fled as if they had been granted amnesty.

Tong Guan saw that the Liangshan thieves were about to run away, and hurriedly shouted excitedly: "The thieves have been defeated, don't take this opportunity to catch Shi Jin alive, let alone when!" The three armies obey the order, kill me! ”

Tong Guan came down, the flag waved, and the drum was beaten tightly.

Hearing the sound of drums in the sky, the officers and men immediately slaughtered in unison.

The soldiers of the Liangshan Army were so frightened that they threw away their gold and drums, and threw away their halberds and guns. He fled for nearly twenty or thirty miles in one breath before he got rid of the officers and soldiers.

Escorted by many leaders, Shi Jin returned to the camp near Juancheng, erected a banner, and collected the defeated soldiers.

Nearly 200 people were killed and wounded in this battle, and nearly 500 or 600 people were captured by officers and men.

Fortunately, Suo Chao's helmet resisted a lot of damage, and after landing, he was escorted by the soldiers of the Liangshan Army to the rear of the meeting, and he was subjected to a point, but he recovered after a few days of cultivation.

Shi Jin asked people to rest in the village and convened the leaders to discuss.

After the officers and soldiers chased and killed for more than 20 miles, Tong Guan saw that the thieves had fled away, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The soldiers and soldiers of all walks of life returned to the military village with laughter, and Tong Guan asked the military commander to accept the merits of each person.

Although Qin Ming Hu Yanzhuo did not capture a single person, nor did he have a corpse to invite credit, the whole army witnessed Qin Ming knocking the enemy general off his horse with a stick.

Qin Ming's victory in the battle greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers, and the military commander gave Qin Ming a credit.

Liu Yanqing's troops killed and wounded more than 100 Liangshan thieves and captured more than 70 or 80 people, and Xumei and Bi Sheng's troops captured more than 300 thieves.

Xin Xingzong's territory was the rear army, and when he led people to catch up, Liangshan ran away, and only captured about 20 people.

The first battle was won, and now the morale of the whole army is high. Tong Guan is even more confident in the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan.

He sat on the throne and shouted loudly: "Generals, congratulations on the victory over the thieves at the first stop!" ”

Liu Yanqing, Yumei, and Bi Sheng shouted in unison: "The first stop can be won so easily, it all depends on the planning of the Prime Minister!" ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "Although the first station is loud, but the strength of the thieves is especially strong, and it is not the time for us to be happy." Wait until the thieves are eliminated and Shi Jin is captured alive. I'm going to entertain you all! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

In the midst of this joy, Qin Ming suddenly said: "Lord Cardinal, in today's battle, the thieves were defeated, I am afraid that they will not give up easily, be careful of their night attacks." ”

Tong Guan nodded and said, "I'm worried." General Qin, General Huyan, I intend to let you lead 5,000 elite soldiers, all hidden outside the barracks, if the thieves dare to come at night, the cannon sounds, the ambush soldiers rise together, and the internal and external attacks are captured. I don't know what you think? ”

Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly shouted in unison: "I will live up to the trust of adults!" ”

Tong Guan shouted happily: "Okay, let's see if those thieves will be fooled tonight!" ”

When night fell, Shi Jin led two thousand soldiers and horses to approach the camp of officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the barracks of the officers and soldiers were not abnormal from the past, Shi Jin gave an order, and two thousand soldiers and horses shouted in unison to kill the barracks.

All the troops rushed in, and as soon as they entered the barracks, they saw that there were no soldiers and horses in the tents in the barracks.

Shi Jin saw it and shouted loudly, "It's not good, I've been tricked." Hurry back! ”

When Liang Shanjun heard this, he quickly turned around and ran back.

At this time, only a cannon sound was heard, and Qin Ming personally led the officers and soldiers behind him to kill.

Yumei, Bi Sheng, Xin Xingzong, and Liu Yanqing led people out of the camp and killed them.

The Liangshan army was defeated and ran for more than ten miles before the officers and soldiers withdrew their troops.

Returning to the handsome camp, he counted and captured nearly 500 thieves, and this defeated the Liangshan thieves one after another, and Tong Guan was in a good mood.

He looked at Qin Ming and admired it very much.

Now Tong Guan has completely dispelled his suspicions about Qin Ming. It can be seen that this Qin Ming's martial arts are extraordinary, and judging from today's performance, this person is also quite proficient in the art of war and strategy, and he is a material that can be made.

Thinking of this, Tong Guan couldn't help but love Qin Ming. "General Qin, I think you are also a talent, and it is a waste to stay in Qingzhou. In this way, when this war is over, I will transfer you to serve in the Western Army, what do you think? ”

Hearing that Tong Guan personally recruited Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo was jealous and envious.

Damn, how can this person be so different from a person!

They were all born to their parents, and they all escaped from the thieves together.

Hu Yanzhuo was wondering in his heart, when he was born, when Lao Tzu was born, was he born at the wrong time, why Lao Tzu's life was so bitter!

Qin Ming listened to Tong Guan's words, a complicated gaze flashed from his eyes, lowered his head and clenched his fists and said, "Lord Cardinal is so loving, how dare Qin refuse!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Tong Guan smiled and said: "After a day of fighting today, everyone is tired." Go back early and rest, tomorrow we will wipe out those thieves in one go! ”

"Yes, sir!"

At that time, the officers and soldiers who had been fighting all day slept very hard.

The captured Liangshan bandits were held in a camp, and their weapons were confiscated. It was separated by a wooden fence, and the sky was still a little dark. Those captured Liangshan thieves leaned together in twos and threes, resisting the night wind.

Fortunately, it's May now, and if it had been earlier, the night wind would have taken countless lives.

There were nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses guarding the wooden fence outside, but they were tired for a day, and many of the officers and soldiers who were guarding were lazy and dozing.

On this quiet night, an emaciated hand suddenly stretched out from the ground!

50 to 1 evenly ordered, hey! The fat man kneels and begs to subscribe!
