Chapter Eighty-Five: The First World War

Previous Chapter

"Shuibo Caokou, dare to fight?"

Probably because he was afraid that Liang Shanjun would do another battle against Shi Bao, Fang Jie was scolding and shouting as usual before the fight, and Liang Shanjun naturally had no reason to be afraid.

If you are willing to fight, we will fight with you; If you are willing to fight, we will fight with you!

At that moment, Han Shizhong in the Liangshan Army did not answer, and came over with a spear and a prancing horse.

Fang Jie saw that Han Shizhong was tall and long, with a bee waist and ape arms, and a natural fighting general figure, plus he listened to a series of single challenges of the Liang Shanjun and the Yongle Army on the road, and he didn't dare to be careless, and danced Fang Tian's halberd to meet the past, and soon became a mess with the battle.

I saw four arms vertical and horizontal, eight horses' hooves messy, in the shadow of the dust, in the murderous aura, coming and going, left and right, fighting for more than 20 rounds in the blink of an eye, Han Shizhong was killed cowardly, and had to attack two moves to open the circle and run to the main formation.

Fang Jie is young and vigorous, and he wants to build a head to revive the morale of the Yongle Army, where is he willing to let go? Hurriedly rode his horse and hurried away, but Han Shizhong's war horse was really better than his crotch mount too much, and he ran out a long way in the blink of an eye.

When Fang Jie was hesitating whether to continue to catch up, he didn't want to be at this time, Bai Qin shouted again, "Brother, don't panic, I'm here to help you!" "The killing will come out.

Fang Jie was overjoyed, and immediately caught Bai Qin and continued to fight, the two fought for nearly thirty rounds, Bai Qin gradually became timid, a little unbearable, and attacked again with two shots and fled.

Fang Jie won two battles in a row, and he was overjoyed, and the secret Liangshan army was nothing more than that, so he immediately ordered the horn to be sounded, and led the 15,000 imperial forest army to cover up, and Han Shizhong on the side of the Liangshan army saw this and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

In this way, the 15,000 Imperial Forest Army led by Fang Jie was able to swagger into the city of Suzhou.

Soon after, Fang Tianding, the prince of the Yongle Dynasty, also led the main force of reinforcements to the city of Suzhou by land and water, and the Liangshan water army intercepted it slightly, and let the Yongle water army enter the city.

However, he said that in the city of Suzhou, Si Xing Fang saw that Fang Jie and Fang Tianding had broken through the siege and entered the city so easily, and his heart was full of doubts, and he said: "I see that all the generals of the Liangshan Army are strong in martial arts, and the soldiers and horses they lead are even stronger in a hundred battles, and the Han and Tang Dynasties are just like this. ”

Yongle Chao Baoguang Rulai National Teacher Deng Yuanjue also said: "The little monk also feels that this matter is too strange, at this time, I think about it, isn't it that Liang Shanjun wants to gather us in one place to catch them all?" ”

Fang Jie was displeased when he heard this: "The marshal and the national teacher are serious, I think that the Liangshan thief Kou Chengjun has been in the army for less than two years, and the expansion has been so fast, and the stall is so big, and it is to fight the Zhao and Song courts, the western thieves, and the Goryeo Wa Kingdom."

Not only stationed tens of thousands of troops in the Guanxi Hequ, but also stationed tens of thousands of troops in the Haidong Peninsula, and tens of thousands of troops in the Wa Kingdom, and also stationed 100,000 troops near Liangshan Bozuo, and now they are coming to fight the Yongle Dynasty.

Even if what the two of them said is right, these guys are fierce soldiers, how many fierce generals and elite soldiers come here? In my opinion, the Liangshan army that invaded the south this time is nothing more than that, it's just a scary name, you can sit at the head of the city tomorrow and see how Fang breaks the enemy! ”

You must know that there is a typical family dictatorship in Fang La's army, and the status of the Fang clan is much higher than that of other civil and military generals, such as Lu Shi Nangtang's Nanguo Privy Envoy (equivalent to the Minister of Defense) was almost beheaded by Fang Maung, and it was not easy for Si Xingfang and Deng Yuanjue to say anything.

Anyway, I've already entered the city, and I can only take one step at a time, and I'll be more vigilant.

Soon on the second day, early in the morning, Fang Xiang, Fang Tianding, and Fang Jie ordered to kill pigs and cattle, reward the three armies for a full meal, and then put on their horses, open the city gate and put down the drawbridge to go out of the city to challenge, Fang Tianding led some people to climb the city gate tower to watch his cousin Fang Jie fight and make meritorious contributions.

"Liangshan Caokou, come and die!"

Fang Jie won two battles in a row the day before yesterday, and then led the Imperial Forest Army out of the city many times to challenge, only to kill the Liangshan patrol cavalry and fled, which was really not majestic.

At this time, seeing that Liang Shanjun dared to take the initiative to fight, Fang Jie's blood was so excited that his blood almost boiled, and he took his deputy Du Wei out to challenge first.

The soldiers of the Fang La Army are no longer bearable, and at this time, they can't help but raise their morale, and suddenly a burst of cheers and shouts that shook the sky broke out.

General Lu sneered in the army formation of Liangshan, and then threw a look at Sun An and Wang Jin, Sun An immediately understood the battle and Wang Jin watched the battle from the side.

"You and a group of thieves who have brutalized the people, and you dare to bark wildly in front of the two armies, and make a lot of nonsense, so I will fulfill you! On the other side, is Fang Jie's child? Remember, it was Sun An, the general of Liangshan, who captured you alive today! ”

Sun An shouted, before the words fell, he had already rushed over with a horse and a sword, Fang Jie probably knew whether it was useless to fight in front of the battle, and at that moment, he also danced with his spirit Fang Tian's halberd to meet him, and soon the two of them were fighting,

I saw that as soon as the two of them intersected, sparks flew everywhere, and then an incomparably thick force passed from the halberd shaft of Fang Tian's painting halberd to Fang Jie's hands, Fang Jie's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he had met a fierce rival in his life.

However, in the end, it was a young and vigorous character who refused to admit defeat, and after a short period of surprise, Fang Jie quickly lifted his spirits, and used the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand to make the tiger and tiger angry, and the more he fought, the more hearty he became.

I saw that these two people were all showing their might, flying murderously, going back and forth, going and returning, and they fought for more than 30 rounds and still didn't win or lose.

But it is said that this Fang Jie is less than twenty years old, which is the age of youth and vigor, because the identity of the "imperial nephew" and the martial arts are indeed strong, and he is also an invincible opponent of the generals of the Yongle Army on weekdays, and he has suffered all the sycophants and flattery, so he naturally has an illusion of invincibility in the world.

At this time, I fought with Sun An for more than 30 rounds, and the first 20 rounds were okay, the more I played, the smoother and more hearty I played, but after 20 rounds, I was rhythmized by the opponent throughout the whole process, and I always felt that I couldn't make it out, and I was controlled by others everywhere, so I felt a little uncomfortable, and I was suddenly a little anxious.

I think I'm the number one warrior in the south, and everyone says that I have the courage to be unworthy of ten thousand people, but now I can't fight an unknown young general in the Liangshan Army, where does this put my face? How will you mix it up in the future?

Thinking of this, Fang Jie immediately became ruthless, and all the killing moves, special moves, and ruthless moves at the bottom of the box were all used at once, and he only attacked but did not defend one move, and one move was faster than one move, like a raging storm, and attacked seven or eight rounds in a row.

You must know that the reason why killing moves and special moves are called killing moves and special moves is because they cannot be used lightly.

First, because such a move is extremely mental and energetic to perform, and there is no room for error;

Second, most of these moves are focused on offense and have to temporarily ignore defense, if you encounter a master, it is easy to be counter-killed;

The third is that once you can't win as a final move, then the only thing left is to be killed or escape.

Now Fang Jie is like this, he can't attack but not defend with one killing move, and he suddenly panicked in his heart, plus the use of killing moves is too exhausting, and he is suddenly a little out of breath, and the halberd method is a little messy.

And Sun An suddenly added three points of strength to his hand at this time, and immediately pressed Fang Jie to the point that he only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.

At this moment, I saw that outside the battle circle of the two, a person suddenly flashed out from behind Fang Jie's horse on foot, grabbed the flying knife, and looked at Sun An's face to fly early.

But on the other side, Du Wei has been practicing flying knives for more than ten years, and it is not the first time that he has cooperated with Fang Jie like this, and with such a close distance to face a sneak attack, how can it be unreasonable?

When he flew to the end, Du Wei even shouted with confidence.

"Medium!"

However, in the next moment, seeing that the flying knife was only about a foot away from Sun An's front door, Sun An, who was fighting in the battle circle, suddenly tilted his head, and the flying knife flew out of his iron pocket, only bringing a little spark on the side of the helmet.

While doing this action, Sun An even added two points of strength and speed to the Uzi Steel Sword, and cut off a small crescent sprig on Fang Jie Fang Tian's painting halberd with a single sword.

After doing this, Sun An still had time to turn his head and glance at Du Wei, and there was even a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

Du Wei's sneak attack failed, and he was swept away by Sun An like this, and he was suddenly a little stunned, and before he could react, he heard a terrible sound of feather arrows breaking through the air in his ears, and then his heart was cold and painful.

He looked down in shock, and saw that more than half of a feather arrow had already entered his chest, and blood shot out.

Du Wei's eyes widened, and he looked at the white feather on his chest that had been stained red with blood in disbelief, and the dirty blood at the corner of his mouth continued to overflow, and he soon fell to the ground on his back.

Until this time, he couldn't believe this ending - there has always been only the two of us Yin and others, the previous Hangzhou Mansion was under control, and Chen Yu, who was nicknamed the Jade Dragon Spear, was stabbed down by Fang Jie's Heavenly Painting Halberd when he was hiding from his flying knife.

That guy's martial arts are also extraordinary, and his halberd is unparalleled in the world, didn't he die under the cooperation of the two of us?

How did you meet Liang Shanjun but this is the result?

Du Wei couldn't figure it out until he died, but it seemed normal to Liang Shanjun's side.

First of all, Fang Jie's martial arts were originally much lower than Sun An's, although in the original Water Margin time and space, Fang Jie first teamed up with Du Wei to kill Qin Ming, and then fought Guan Sheng and Hua Rong (first fought with Guan Sheng Shihe, Hua Rong came to help and then fought for a few rounds, Fang Jie "only did it to block and dodge" at this time, Song Jiang sent Li Ying and Zhu Tong to attack in battle, and Fang Jie immediately ran away when he saw it), but in the end, Fang Jie's real level is about the same as Qin Ming, and he can't even beat Qin Ming (Note 1).

And Sun An's ability to fight with Lu Junyi three times in fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing, and his force is obviously higher than Qin Ming's.

In addition, the generals on Liangshan of the Lin clan are harmonious and often learn from each other, and under the leadership of Lin Chong, Wang Jin, Lu Junyi, Yang Zaixing and other top masters have not hidden their own killing moves, tricks, martial arts, and combat experience to contribute for everyone to learn.

Such top-level martial arts are naturally useless to ordinary generals, such as Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Shi Jin, Xuanzan and others, but Sun An is almost the same level as Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, which is naturally of great benefit.

There is also Yang Zaixing, a martial arts idiot, who accompanies him to compete every day, and Wang Jin, a martial arts master, points out from time to time, and his martial arts are naturally much higher than Sun An in the original time and space.

In this way, Sun An's fight against Fang Jie is naturally not at the same level.

Qin Ming and Fang Jie are at the same level, a tie or a little higher than Fang Jie, the two of them are inseparable, when Qin Ming uses all his strength, Du Wei suddenly casts a hidden weapon, and it is not surprising that Qin Ming is hit.

Secondly, the reason why Qin Ming was killed was not only because his strength was about the same as Fang Jie's, but also because he was attacked and calculated, and he was not prepared in his heart.

But because of the relationship between Lin Chong and Chen Hoop Bucket, as well as the news collected by Shi Qian, Shi Xiu, and Yanqing's spy battalion, Sun An already knew that Du Wei liked to sneak attack with hidden weapons and flying knives, and the two cooperated with masters like Chen Yu, who had killed Hangzhou to control the jade dragon gun (Chen Yu and Guan Sheng were not divided into winners or losers in thirty or forty rounds, and they also injured Guan Sheng's mount with a flying halberd).

It was because Sun An had been mentally prepared from the beginning, guarding against the two of them early, and the martial arts had indeed done too much Fang Jie, so it was normal to avoid the "nirvana" move of the two of them lightly.

Not only that, Wang Jin, who was sweeping the array on the side, also guarded against Du Wei's hand early, and almost at the same time as Du Wei's flying knife was gone, he also bent his bow and arrow, and took Du Wei's life with one arrow.

"Secretly use flying knives to sneak attack, so shameless!"

The strength of the Uzi Steel Sword in Sun An's hand became stronger and stronger, one sword was faster than the other, and Fang Jie couldn't resist it at all, so he had to go to the main formation, but at this time, how could he run away if he wanted to?

Before he could use his last strength to get rid of Sun An's double sword entanglement, Fang Jie suddenly felt a pain in his hand, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his palm had been picked up by Sun An's double swords.

Fang Jie was so frightened that he didn't care about kicking the horse's belly hard, he wanted to hug the horse's neck and flee in embarrassment, not wanting Sun An to anticipate this hand, he reached forward with one hand and grabbed the belt around Fang Jie's waist, and shouted "Come here" and captured him alive.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

The Liangshan army suddenly heard thunderous cheers and shouts again, while Fang Lajun's side was stunned, and their morale plummeted again, and most of the previous routs in the city were even frightened by this shout and their legs were weak, and they sat directly on the ground, swinging all over.

said that Sun Ansheng captured Fang Jie, but he did not return to his own formation immediately, nor did he click him with a knife, but slammed him on the saddle, and the Wucigang sword in his hand was pressed against the back of his neck, and he came to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly.

"Listen to the other side, don't say that I won't give you a chance, hurry up and send two people who can fight to fight, if you can win me by one and a half moves, I will let Fang Jie go! If no one fights, or if it's all rubbish, I'll smack this guy with a knife! ”

In the formation of Fang La's army, as well as the city of Suzhou, there was a sudden silence, and everyone looked at Fang Xiang and Fang Tianding, who were sitting in two places, waiting for the decision of the two.

The two of them were also in a dilemma at this time, Liang Shanjun made it clear that he wanted to capture or behead the generals on his side again, and hit the morale of his side again, then Sun An's martial arts were obviously much higher than Fang Jie, and even Fang Jie was pressed by him throughout the whole process to capture him alive, and then send others into battle Isn't it to deliver food?

But if you don't send someone into battle, Sun An will click Fang Jie with a knife!

It's a really hard choice!

After hesitating for a long time, under Sun An's repeated urging and threats, selfishness finally prevailed over reason, and Fang Xiang immediately sent He Conglong, the teacher of the Imperial Forest Capital, Jing De, the general of the East Guan, and Zhao Yi, the two deputy generals under the command of Yuan Shibao, to fight.

The four generals knew that they were not opponents, but they could only fight hard, but fortunately, Fang Lajun's side also learned to be obedient and did not cast hidden weapons and arrows, so Sun An did not kill him, and successively captured He Conglong and Jingde alive.

Immediately, Han Shizhong's skills were itchy, and he rushed to fight, and it took less than ten rounds to capture Zhao Yi and Category Sheng.

At this time, all the soldiers in Fang La's army, even if they were stupid, suddenly understood - it turned out that the Liangshan army was not unable to defeat us before, but deliberately deceived us and let us into Suzhou City in order to surround us.

Now the situation is very clear, and the fighting generals can't fight the Liangshan army; But if it is a fighting soldier, seeing the neat and solemn military formation of the Liangshan Army from a distance, and the morale is extremely high, everyone also has no confidence in their hearts.

At this time, everyone suddenly remembered all kinds of legends about the Liangshan Army - 3,100 cavalry broke 100,000 Liao troops; World War I went down to Bianjing; The 20,000 Liangshan army was surrounded by the main force of 200,000 Western Thieves, and in the end, the main force of the Western Thieves was completely annihilated!

Now it seems that these incredible legends may be true.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, their morale was greatly lost, and the army's heart was shaken, they heard the war drums beat without warning on the side of the Liangshan army, and then all the cavalry began to step on the war horses, and more than 10,000 people shouted neatly: "Attack!" Offensive! Surrender and don't kill, those who resist will be killed! ”

This sounded without warning, and the unison of 10,000 people suddenly frightened Fang Lajun's side, and someone collapsed directly on the spot, crying loudly: "The Liangshan army is attacking the city, run!" ”

The rout shouted and turned around and fled, Fang Maung, Si Xingfang, Deng Yuanjue and others were caught off guard and suddenly couldn't react, and when a few people reacted, panic and collapse had spread to every corner of the battlefield like an avalanche.

At this time, the vicinity of the city gate was the first to cause chaos, and I heard people shouting there: "Defeated, defeated, the city gate is broken, the Liangshan army is killed, flee quickly!" ”

You must know that most of the people who went out of the city to challenge this time were newly arrived reinforcements, and most of the troops who stayed in the city were defeated in the past few days.

At this time, these routs heard the shouts of 10,000 people outside to attack and surrender without killing, and heard a miserable cry outside the city, and then heard someone shouting that the city gate was broken, and the Liangshan army was killed, where would these routs distinguish between the real and the fake?

There are even defenders in the city, Jin Jie, with dozens of henchmen, who took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly in the crowd: "Run!" The Liangshan army is invincible, how can we be opponents? ”

"Fang Jie has been slashed by the Liangshan Army, and Marshal Si and Deng Guoshi have also been captured alive by the Liangshan Army, defeated, defeated!"

"Run......"

These routs were already frightened by the Liang Shan army, and as soon as they heard that the Liang Shan army had entered, they were all frightened, and suddenly burst out with bursts of frightened screams, and then ran back desperately.

Outside the city of Suzhou, more than 10,000 Liangshan soldiers and horses did not even formally attack the city, just beat the war drums, let out a few neat shouts, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city have already rioted, and the people near the city gate immediately put down their weapons, took off their robes and turned around to look behind and ran.

The people in the back also woke up suddenly, and immediately did the same, while taking off their military uniforms, they desperately drilled into the crowd further behind, and those who were quick were trying their best to spread out to both sides, running into the people's houses, trying to mix with the people and get by.

The defenders in the city were the first to collapse in the screams, and the Fang La army on the city wall and outside the city was not much better, and the city wall was better, after all, there was a moat and a high city wall in front, and there was a sense of security.

However, the Fangla army fighting outside the city had to face the military formation of the Liangshan army that was serious to the extreme, and face the evil aura emanating from this tiger and wolf army, coupled with the sound of a tsunami like a mountain roaring through the sky, some people were suddenly frightened, unable to breathe, and the crackling of the blades in their hands fell down.

General Lu was keenly aware of this, and immediately did not hesitate, waved the command flag in his hand, and the light cavalry on both wings took the lead in killing, and then the heavy cavalry of the Chinese army also began to accelerate the charge, and the infantry crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers also began to step on the drum and advance neatly.

"Siege! Surrender and don't kill, those who resist will be killed! ”

Then General Lu asked for more than 10,000 Liangshan Huben to enter the city under the escort.

The defenders of Suzhou, together with the reinforcements from Hangzhou, added a total of nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom became prisoners of the Liangshan army; or trample on each other in the Great Collapse, fall into the moat and be trampled to death and drowned; Or flee into the people's houses and be caught and killed by the people, and sacrifice the Liangshan army.

At this point, the city of Suzhou fell in a battle, and the casualties of the Liangshan army together were less than ten.

It's unbelievable, but it's normal.

Not to mention the real history, Guo Yaoshi's 2,000 leading party Chang Shengjun fought all the way from Yanjing to cross the Yellow River, forced Song Huizong to take the throne, Song Qinzong, and fled to Bozhou overnight.

Let's just say that in the early days of the civil war in Syria, thousands of well-equipped government troops were not beaten by the ** army and the terrorist, terrifying, organized and organized by the army, which was incomparable to them, and the entire division and regiment abandoned their positions and abandoned their tanks and artillery and fled?

Therefore, no matter what time it is, morale and will to fight are the key factors that determine the outcome of the battle!

Not to mention that the Liangshan Army and the Fangla Army are not at the same level in terms of military quality and weaponry, as well as organization and discipline.

It's just like the Battle of Bali Bridge in the War of the Two Crows, the Anglo-French coalition army fought the Qing army, it was completely unilaterally crushed.

By this time, the Fangla Group had completely seen the gap between its side and the Liangshan Army, and there was really no way to fight this battle, and now there were only two ways in front of the Fangla Group, either surrender or hide in the mountains and flee for their lives.

Stubborn resistance, there is only one dead end!

So a few days later, General Lu came all the way to the city of Hangzhou and set up camp ten miles outside the city, while Lou Minzhong, the left prime minister of the Yongle Dynasty, and Fang Yuan, the emperor's uncle, also came to the camp of the Liangshan army, preparing to discuss the surrender with the Liangshan army.

After all, the Fangla group only has a blood feud with the Zhao Song group, but it doesn't have much enmity with the Liangshan army, since it is obvious that it can't be defeated, and it doesn't want to hide in the mountains as a savage, and the Liangshan army doesn't plan to kill them all, surrendering is naturally the best choice.

Just when Fang La was forced to sign an alliance with the Liangshan army and prepare to surrender to Lin Chong, thousands of miles away in the Jin Dynasty Ning Mansion, the negotiations between the Song Dynasty envoys and the Jurchen high-level nobles also reached a critical moment.
