Chapter 72: The Great Defeat of the Liangshan Officers and Troops (2)
On an official road not far from Qinglong Mountain, there are strange rocks along the way, pine bushes cover the mountains, and shrubs are all over.
The official road passes through a deep canyon, and the sides of the canyon are quiet, and there are no people or beasts.
The trees along the road were covered with trees, but there was no wind or grass, and the whole valley was terrifyingly quiet, and among the bushes, there was a sudden cracking sound, the sound of feet stepping on dead branches.
After a single thud, the whole valley was quiet again, so quiet that even the slightest breath could be heard clearly.
The smell of sweat was permeating, and the smell of sweat made people pinch their noses, but no one dared to complain, except for quietly hibernating, no one dared to make a sound.
When I got closer, I could faintly hear the sound of footsteps and the creaking of cars running over the road......
The officers and men appeared, and the captain holding the flag carried the "Liang" flag, followed by a group of officers and men in large felt hats, and then the artillery escorted by the officers and men, loaded in a car, made a creaking sound when it pressed over the road.
The leader of the general appeared, and saw him wearing a black lacquer bronze helmet, wearing black oil inlaid armor, and riding a snow kicking black horse.
The procession behind the general was winding endlessly, looking like ants, and there were eight or nine thousand people.
Wait until the Ujia generals approach on horseback......
"Put!" Yang Xiong, the commander-in-chief of the ambush in Qinglong Mountain, gave an order.
Suddenly there was a loud bang!
I saw the round rolling logs and boulders falling together, as if a mountain flood broke out, the mountain collapsed, the horses were frightened, neighing, and the black-armored general was stunned.
"There's an ambush!" With a shout, the screams of officers and soldiers were immediately heard on the official road, and there were not a few people who were killed and injured by rolling logs and boulders.
The men and horses in the ambush in Liangshan stood up one by one and shot arrows downward, and suddenly the arrows rained down, and many officers and soldiers fell in response to the arrows.
"Kill!!" The men and horses of Liangshan shouted and shouted in unison, and all of them rushed down, cutting down the officers and soldiers and turning them on their backs.
The officers and soldiers were unprepared and were taken by surprise, and the men and horses of Liangshan destroyed the defense temporarily established by the officers and soldiers.
The officers and men abandoned the artillery wagon, and the rear team turned around and turned into the front team, retreated along the road from coming, cut down trees along the way, and blocked the official road to prevent the people and horses of Liangshan from chasing.
After all, it was a large number of officers and soldiers, and Yang Xiong only had 3,000 volt soldiers, and after chasing for a while, he did not dare to continue chasing.
…
When the Song court received the news of the failure of Liang Zhongshu's First Route Army's attack on the village, it was already in the afternoon.
This way was to attack the Qinglong Mountain Cottage, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by Yang Xiong's army, although only a few hundred soldiers died, but more than 30 artillery pieces were lost and given to Liangshan in vain.
Liang Zhongshu was so angry that he scolded.
Song Ting heard him scolding outside the tent, and after secretly laughing for a while, he returned to his tent and continued to sit and wait for the news of the second and third route armies.
It wasn't until the evening that I waited for the news of the rout of the armies of the Second and Third Routes.
The second road encountered the net laid by ten generals led by Song Jiang personally, including Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, Huang Xin, Lu Fang, Shi Xiu, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Guo Sheng, and Yang Lin, and the whole army was defeated, and more than 4,000 people were captured and killed.
The third road encountered Lu Junyi, Wang Ying, Hu Sanniang, Yan Qing, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and other generals.
After hearing these news, Song Ting secretly clenched his fists and suppressed his excitement, "No, I can't make a move yet, only when the official army loses more badly, and I make a move, the greater my benefits will be." ”
"Looks like we'll have to make another fire."
With such an idea, he walked out of the tent, and wanted to go to Wu Kui to discuss, but he didn't expect to run into a strategist from Liang Zhongshu.
This strategist's surname is Li, his name is Zhai, his name is Shuzhai, he is an old talent in his fifties, he wants to be an official, but he can't even pass the exam, and in the end, he had to go through the relationship and was recommended to Liang Zhongshu as a staff officer.
"Very good, that's you." Song Ting thought about it, walked over with a smile, and arched his hand at him: "Mr. Li."
Li Zhai recognized him, so he smiled and nodded, and greeted him.
After greeting for a while, Song Ting went straight to the point and said: "Today, our army has been defeated by all three people, and the Huaiyang Naval Division has been wiped out, Lord Liang must be very angry, right?"
Li Zhai sighed and said, "Don't be angry, Lord Liang is already angry in the tent."
Song Ting also sighed and said, "Yes, Lord Liang raised three route soldiers, but they all failed, do you say that this Liang Mountain thief is really that powerful?"
Li Zhai shook his head and said: "I thought that the Liangshan thieves were not so powerful, but our army was afraid of death and its morale was not high.
"It's all about morale." Li Zhai said that he would rise, licked his lips, and emphasized.
Song Ting pretended to be an ignorant Xiaobai, and hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Li is reasonable, and Xiaosheng is willing to hear the details."
That Li Zhai usually didn't have any ideas for Liang Zhongshu, and he had been rejected by several other strategists, and his heart had been depressed, and he was particularly happy to hear Song Ting say that he was willing to listen to his analysis, so he explained in detail the situation when the three-way army met with the people of Liangshan.
Finally, it was concluded that in addition to the geographical advantage, Liangshan was superior, and our army was superior in all other aspects. Today's defeat is, after all, due to lack of morale.
Song Ting nodded while listening, and finally, after listening to him, he sighed with emotion: "If Lord Liang can pay attention to Mr. Li's opinion, how good it would be......"
Li Zhaizheng was depressed because he couldn't pay attention to him, and when he heard what he said, he pulled him into his tent like a confidant, drank and talked happily, and told him what he said in his heart.
After three rounds of drinking, Song Ting saw that he was also a little drunk, so he pretended to say: "Mr. Li, Xiaosheng thinks that what you said is very reasonable, today's defeat is indeed due to the lack of morale of our army. However, Xiao Sheng thought that the division of troops into three routes and the dispersion of troops was the key to the lack of morale...... Why don't you let Lord Liang join forces to attack together? ”
After listening to Song Ting's words, Li Zhai took the case: "What you said is very reasonable! Isn't it just to fight more and fight less with one army? Morale will be boosted by then! ”
Song Ting took the opportunity to say again: "If Lord Liang is allowed to personally lead the troops to fight, wouldn't it be more morale-boosting?"
Li Zhai stroked his palm and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense...... I'm going to find Lord Liang! ”
Li Zhai came to Liang Zhongshu that night to offer his words.
On the second day, Liang Zhongshu really personally led his troops and horses, joined forces in one place, and attacked Phoenix Cottage.
Really...... Defeated!!
Liang Zhongshu took more than a dozen personal soldiers and fled to the Tai'an Prefecture Mansion in embarrassment, and was worried that Liangshan soldiers and horses would chase him, so he hurriedly packed up the remnants and returned to the Daimyo's Mansion.
The overseer Wang Bao was frightened, and urgently ordered the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat twenty miles and set up a village.
In the barracks, Wu Kui packed up, loaded things into carts, and was about to command his 10,000 horses to retreat twenty miles.
Seeing that Wu Kui was about to pack up and leave, Song Ting panicked, and said in his heart: "If you also run away, how can I implement my plan......"
"No, I can't let you run away too."
After making up his mind, he immediately walked into Wu Kui's tent and said hurriedly: "My lord, there is a good plan to subdue Liangshan." Adults must not retreat! ”
