Chapter Seventy-Eight: Attacking Zhujiazhuang (6)

Returning to the main formation, ignoring Hu Sanniang's scolding, Shi Jin hugged Hu Sanniang off the horse.

In order to prevent her from escaping, Shi Jin tied her hands, put her on one of her horses, and then ordered the soldiers of the five cavalry battalions to escort her to her own tent in the camp to take care of her.

"Take care of it, this lady will deal with it after I conquer Zhujiazhuang!"

"Yes, sir!" Five cavalry battalions shouted in unison.

These five cavalry battalions heard Shi Jin say that he wanted to take this Hu Sanniang up the mountain to be the lady of the village, and immediately carefully escorted her to the camp to serve.

After handing Hu Sanniang into custody, Shi Jin put his attention back on the battlefield.

Wu Song against Shang Zhu Biao, Lin Chong against Luan Tingyu, Lu Zhishen against Shang Zhulong, Du Qian and Song Wan joined forces to deal with Zhu Hu.

They were fighting fiercely, and for a while they couldn't spare the energy to command their men.

There was no command on either side, and nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses fought together.

When Shi Jin saw it, he immediately shouted an order, "Don't mess up, form a formation!" Formation! ”

The era of cold weapons is no better than the era of hot weapons.

Only by gathering together and forming a dense formation can we concentrate our forces to penetrate the opponent's defense line and divide and encircle and annihilate the opponent.

Hearing Shi Jin's order, Liangshan's soldiers were trained by Sun and Yue, just like the instinct of their bodies, and immediately gathered around Shi Jin according to the order, forming a dense lineup to attack Zhujiazhuang's men.

Shi Jin commanded the Liangshan Army to launch an assault, and at the same time led the 50th cavalry battalion to rush to the forefront.

Rushing over was a ferocious slash, Fang Tian's halberd easily split Zhuang Ke's body, blood continued to splatter, and severed limbs and broken arms kept appearing in the air.

Riding horses and galloping, the cavalry battalion followed closely behind Shi Jin, and the dense conical array cavalry used strong impact force, like riding the wind and waves, to easily tear apart the loose defense line of Zhujiazhuang's Zhuangke.

Seeing Shi Jin's extraordinary bravery, the cavalry battalion harvested the enemy's head like a straw.

The swords and pikemen who followed closely behind the cavalry battalion were stimulated and bravely launched a more ferocious attack on Zhujiazhuang.

Piercing the soldiers and horses of Zhujiazhuang all the way, Shi Jin turned the horse's head and let out a loud roar from his mouth, "Kill!" ”

The Liangshan army hurriedly turned its head and killed the right flank, wanting to completely outflank and eliminate Zhujiazhuang on the right flank.

Seeing that his own soldiers and horses were easily slaughtered by the Liangshan army, he was defeated and retreated, and he was even about to be surrounded and annihilated by the Liangshan army.

Zhu Hu saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

Hearing Zhu Hu's roar, Zhu Long, who was already in danger under Lu Zhishen's stormy attack, immediately turned around and fled.

The iron rod Luan Tingyu and the leopard head Lin Chong fought on a par, knowing that they would not be able to tell the winner if they continued to fight, and when they heard the shouts of Zhu Hu's retreat, they immediately forced Lin Chong to retreat and rode their horses to Zhu Biao.

Luan Tingyu, who was far away, shouted, "The young master thief is powerful, withdraw quickly!" ”

originally despised Liang Shanjun, thinking that it was just a group of young people. But today's result is that he has been hit hard, he can't even win a small boss, and his fiancΓ©e has been kidnapped.

This makes Zhu Biao, who has always been arrogant, how can he withstand the blow of this reality.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to defeat this thief. I'm going to get my fiancΓ©e back! Zhu Rong shouted loudly.

Luan Tingyu, the iron rod, roared loudly, "Stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, retreat first, and fight again in the next day!" ”

After yelling, regardless of Zhu Biao's objections, he immediately pulled up his horse rope and ran back.

The main general was only concerned with escaping, and did not organize the orderly retreat of the banker.

When these bankers heard the order to retreat, they immediately ran desperately to the village in order to escape back to the village as soon as possible.

There was only one drawbridge to escape back to, and the bankers were desperate to flee.

People crowded, people hit people, and from time to time someone fell to the ground and was trampled to death.

Luan Tingyu, who fled back to the suspension bridge, saw that Zhuang Ke was blocking the way of life for himself and the young owner, and immediately shouted fiercely, "Get out of here, if you don't want to die, get out!" ”

Luan Tingyu whipped his horse wildly, raised the speed of the horse, brandished his mace, and used the impact of the war horse to open a bloody path and escape into the village.

Shi Jin saw that the door of the village was wide open, and knew that it was a good opportunity, so he hurriedly shouted, "Follow me to kill in and seize the door!" ”

Hearing the order, Liang Shanjun didn't care about those deserters, and immediately followed behind Shi Jin and rushed to Zhuangmen, wanting to follow the deserters to seize Zhuangmen.

Zhu Chaofeng, who was at the head of the city, saw that Liang Shanjun was about to enter the villa, and he shouted in horror, "Quick, close the door." Close the door, don't let the thieves rush in! ”

A sect leader shouted, "Taigong, here, there are nearly two hundred of our bankers outside the door!" ”

Zhu Taigong yelled at him, "Don't worry about those people, close the door quickly." Let those bandits rush in. We're all going to die! ”

When the sect leader heard this, he shouted fiercely, "Close the door!" ”

Hearing the order, the dozens of villagers who were responsible for guarding the door immediately ignored the crying of the villagers outside the door, and closed the door together.

Seeing that the door was about to close, not only the Zhuang guests of Zhujiazhuang hurriedly wanted to rush in, but also the soldiers of the Liangshan Army hurriedly wanted to rush in.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Zhu Chaofeng shouted loudly.

Under the reprimand of Zhu Chaofeng, the Zhuang Ke on the city wall bent his bow and arrows, and sharp arrows shot down from the wall.

Suddenly, sharp arrows rushed down from the sky like a torrential rain with a scream of death, and with the powerful inertia of falling from a high altitude, the sharp arrows easily shot through the banker who had little armor.

The Zhuang Ke who wanted to rush in suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings, letting out a terrible scream and falling to death in a pool of blood.

Shi Jin saw that the area of the drawbridge was too small, and there were not many soldiers who could rush into the village intact under the rain of arrows, and while swinging desperately to resist the arrows, he immediately shouted, "Stop, retreat!" ”

Hearing the order, several leaders shouted in unison, and the Liangshan army immediately changed from the rear army to the front army, and the front army to the rear army, and quickly retreated from the suspension bridge.

Unable to take the opportunity to seize the pass, Liang Shanjun sprinkled his anger on those who stayed outside the door to Zhujiazhuang.

Seeing that the gate had been closed, his own people were abandoned, and then he saw the fierceness of the Liangshan army.

"I'm waiting for my wishes! I'm waiting for the will! The dealer threw his weapon crackling to the ground.

After taking these surrendered troops into custody, Shi Jin immediately collected his troops, slowly retreated, and returned to the camp.

Seeing that Liangshanjun had retreated, in the middle hall of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Chaofeng angrily threw the teacup on the ground and shouted, "I have long said not to provoke those outlaws, you are all self-righteous and insist on taking advantage of others." Now it's okay, I Zhujiazhuang killed and injured more than 400 people as soon as I fought with him, and there were countless minor injuries, and even the village was almost conquered by those bandits. Now the bandits are still at the bottom of the mountain, and they may attack again at any time. What do you say we should do? ”

Zhu Long faced Lu Zhishen and almost lost his life. He remembered Lu Zhishen's crazy energy, and he was still scared for a while.

Zhu Long stood up and shouted angrily, "These are all troubles caused by San Lang, that Liang Shan originally wanted to do business with us, but San Lang drove them out without saying a word, and he also said that he wanted to arrest them, which made them angry." It's up to Saburo to take the blame! ”

Zhu Biao shouted dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, I originally proposed to ask Liangshan to sell all the green salt to us, and my eldest brother also agreed. Why, now that I see that gang of bandits fierce, my eldest brother is afraid! ”

Zhu Long said sarcastically, "Who said that you could easily capture those bandits, but now, people have even arrested your fiancΓ©e to be the lady of the village, you have the ability to catch those bandits and save your lady!" Loser! ”

Zhu Biao heard Zhu Long slap himself in the face in public, and stood up angrily and shouted, "You ......"

Seeing that they didn't think about how to deal with the bandits outside, they blamed each other. Zhu Chaofeng immediately slapped the armrest angrily and shouted: "What time is it now, and you are still arguing." Think about how to drive away the bandits down the hill is the top priority! ”

Zhu Long and Zhu Biao glanced at each other dissatisfiedly when they heard it, and sat down.

Seeing that the others didn't speak, Zhu Hu stood up and said nonoristically, "Dad, why don't we send someone to talk to them?" They are all a group of bandits, all they want is money, how about we pay some gifts and let them withdraw their troops? ”

Hearing Zhu Hu talk about peace talks, Zhu Chaofeng heard it and felt that it was also an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao jumped out and shouted, "No, there must be no peace talks!" ”

Zhu Long also thought that peace talks were okay, and when he heard Zhu Biao's objection, he immediately stood up and shouted, "If you don't talk about peace, do you have the ability to repel that gang of bandits?" ”

If you talk about peace, you will prove that you have failed. Zhu Biao didn't want to admit defeat, but he came up with a way to deal with Liang Shanjun. "This ......"

Luan Tingyu stood up to help and shouted, "Taigong, now is not a good time for peace talks. We are newly defeated, and we are afraid that the bandits will take advantage of the opportunity to open their mouths. Besides, Zhujiazhuang is built on the hill, and the city walls are built with stubborn stones, about two zhang high. As long as we hold on, that gang of bandits won't be able to attack at all. There are countless tons of grain in the village, and it is not a problem to persist for two or three years. But the bandits couldn't hold out that long. As long as they can't attack for a long time, the bandits will see that it is unprofitable, and they are afraid that they will retreat by themselves. When the time comes, I will send someone to negotiate peace with them, so that there will be some benefits, but I can't say it, there is still room for postponement in the matter of green salt! ”

Zhu Biao also shouted loudly when he heard it, "Yes, yes, Dad, this is the truth that Teacher Luan said." Now is not a good time for peace talks, so let's stay in the village and see what those bandits can do with us!"

When Zhu Chaofeng heard Luan Yanyu's words, he felt that there was some truth, and more importantly, he was really reluctant to make a lot of money from Qingyan, so he immediately shouted, "In this case, you should be cautious, and you must not let that gang of thieves conquer my Zhujiazhuang because of carelessness, otherwise our lives will not be guaranteed!" ”

"Yes, Dad (the owner)" The three brothers of the Zhu family, Luan Yanyu shouted in unison.

When the Liangshan army returned to the camp, Shi Jin had not yet summoned the leaders to discuss.

The soldier guarding the door ran in and said, "Report, there are a few people from outside the barracks, and the first one is Hu Cheng from Hujiazhuang, and he asks to see the big leader." To see or not to see? ”

Shi Jin nodded when he heard it and said, "Let him in!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Cheng came to the front of the Chinese military tent, hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Meet the master of Shi Zhai, the little sister is young and ignorant, and she will be confused for a while, so she will offend the prestige of the owner of the village." was captured today, and begged the master of Shi Zhai to forgive her for the sake of her youth. As long as the master of Shi Zhai is willing to forgive my little sister, I am willing to pay 5,000 quintals of grain and 3,000 taels of silver to the master of Shi Zhai every month! ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Wherever the eldest brother speaks, it is all a family, how can Shi Jin accept the money from the eldest brother." Come, please sit down and talk. Where have the people died? Haven't you seen that the distinguished guests have been here for so long, and they don't even know how to drink on the ground? ”

When Hu Cheng heard this, he immediately felt bitter, and hurriedly said: "The general said that he laughed, where can Hu Cheng have that blessing to be a family with the general......

Shi Jin interrupted him and said, "Why aren't you a family?" In a few days, I, Shi Jin, should marry your little sister. Isn't this just a family! ”

Hu Cheng hurriedly said, "I'm afraid the general has misunderstood, my little sister has been married to others 2 years ago, but unfortunately I don't have this fate to marry the general!" ”

Shi Jin laughed and said, "I know, Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang." It's okay, it's not that you haven't visited the church yet, so it doesn't count as a marriage. Besides, Zhu Biao's kid will become a decapitated ghost soon, and he won't be able to marry your little sister. Uncle, the day of bulldozing Zhujiazhuang is the day when Shi Jin makes a decision! ”

Hu Cheng was shocked when he heard it, and the meaning of this thief was to raze Zhujiazhuang and kill all the children of Zhu Chaofeng's family.

Hu Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "General, this matter is very important, Hu Cheng wants to go back immediately to tell my father and ask him to decide!" ”

Shi Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! However, uncle, if there is any movement in Zhujiazhuang in the future, you must not send someone to rescue you. Otherwise, even if you and I are in-laws, don't blame me for Shi Jin's ruthlessness! ”

Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Lord Shi Zhai rest assured. In the future, Hujiazhuang will definitely not dare to rescue Zhujiazhuang, if someone from his village comes to vote for me, Hucheng will also be tied up and dedicated to the general. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "This is the best, tell your father-in-law that Xiao Ke will definitely treat the third sister well!" ”

Hu Cheng smiled bitterly and thanked him and left.

Seeing Hu Cheng leaving, Shi Jin shouted, "Come on, please come here to discuss matters!" ”

In a few moments, the leaders came.

Sitting in the middle camp, Lin Chong sighed in front of Shi Jin, "That iron rod Luan Tingyu is really good at his skills, good martial arts!" ”

Lin Chong is a fierce general who can rank in the top three in Liangshan.

When Shi Jin heard that the iron rod could make Lin Chong a draw, he immediately became fond of materials. Turning his head and asking Zhu Wudao, "Brother Xian, is there a way to make that person take refuge in my Liangshan!" ”

Zhu Wu pondered for a while and said, "The three sons of Zhujiazhuang are all arrogant, and they shouldn't have much respect for this teacher, Luan Tingyu. If you can capture Luan Tingyu alive, the eldest brother will treat Luan Tingyu with courtesy, and you can persuade Luan Tingyu to surrender. ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, if that iron rod Luan Tingyu has a chance to be captured alive, the leaders must not hurt his life!" ”

Lin Chong and the others hurriedly arched their hands when they heard this, "Yes, big brother!" ”

Shi Jin looked at Zhujiazhuang not far away outside the camp tent and said: "Today's battle, I'm afraid that Zhujiazhuang will not dare to fight again." The city wall and the village were being built on the hill, and the city was high and thick, and if it was forcibly attacked, the casualties would be great. Brother Xian, that siege weapon is ready! ”

"Big brother, it's ready, and it can be transported to the front of the battle tonight." Zhu Wu said.

Shi Jin shouted, "Okay, let the brothers rest first, and tonight, launch an attack." Be sure to fight down and raze that Zhujiazhuang! ”

"Yes, big brother!"

When people are most tired and sleepy.

In front of Zhujiazhuang, thirty big guys were quietly transporting closer.

Some of the villagers in Zhujiazhuang were sleepy and wanted to squint and sleep when they suddenly heard a shout.

"Put!"

Awakened by the shouting, Zhuang Ke opened his eyes and saw a black dot flying in the sky.

While they were wondering what it was, the black dot flew closer and closer, and they could see it clearly by the light of the torches at the head of the city.

Suddenly, their eyes widened with fear.
