In late spring and early summer, the sky has already fallen into the night, head

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the heaven and the earth are quiet, such a night, neither too hot, nor the slightest cold, the most suitable for sleeping.

But for several days, Hu Yanzhuo has been sleeping badly, especially today, and he can't sleep at all.

As a famous player, he was born with many more opportunities and resources than others, and he did a good job. Not only is he proficient in martial arts, but he is also very good at training and leading soldiers, and he is also familiar with the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, which has won the trust and reuse of the officials.

No, Hu Yanzhuo was less than thirty-seven years old at this time, and he was under the control of Runing County, responsible for training the only heavy cavalry team in the Gyeonggi region of the Great Song Dynasty, which was also one of the few in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

This time Liangshan Caokou rebelled, and he was awarded the position of commander of soldiers and horses, commanding 15,000 soldiers and horses from Runing County, Chenzhou, and Yingzhou to go to the conquest, and was personally received by the officials, and the future was bright.

At least that's what Hu Yanzhuo thought at the time.

The Liangshan Army has only been created for half a year, and it is completely a group of rabble, and the elite army of 40,000 imperial courts went to conquer, but it can be said that it is already a lion fighting a rabbit with all his strength, and the result is still needless to say?

But soon, Liang Shanjun taught them a lesson.

It was said that the two conquest armies would attack together and attack Liangshan from the south from two directions, but who would have thought that their side had just marched to the boundary of Yingtianfu on Jingxi Road, and news came from there that the 25,000 troops of Guan Sheng's department were annihilated by the Liangshan army in one fell swoop before they reached Puzhou, and all of them surrendered to the Liangshan army.

Immediately afterwards, news came that it was said that the 25,000 troops of Guan Sheng's department were only 1,000 Liangshan cavalry.

Hu Yanzhuo was shocked, this record is comparable to 20,000 Jurchen barbarians breaking the army of 700,000 Liao dogs.

If the Liangshan army is such a combat force, then the 15,000 troops on his side still go to conquer Mao, isn't it to deliver food?

Fortunately, not long after, more details of the battle were revealed, and it turned out that they were all dragged back by the 10,000 gate control troops;

Later, more fierce news broke out, it turned out that Guan Sheng had three righteous brothers, known as the four masters of Pudong, of which the third and fourth were actually laid grass in Liangshan early in the morning.

Guan Sheng deliberately concealed this from the imperial court, that is, he deliberately took 25,000 to Liangshan to surrender to the army, and his family was also picked up by the fourth brother who was the leader of Liangshan early in the morning!

It turned out that the defeat of the imperial army this time was not because the Liangshan army was too strong, nor because the imperial army was too weak, but because Guan Sheng was a thief!

Hu Yanzhuo had confidence again, although the imperial court then sent the eunuch Liang Fangping as the envoy of Jingdong to command the three armies, Hu Yanzhuo suddenly changed from the commander of the army to the general under the account, but Hu Yanzhuo didn't care much.

After all, he has nirvana, three thousand ironclad chain horses, and when the time comes, he will still have to rely on himself to completely annihilate the main force of Liangshan, and Liang Fangping, as a trusted and close eunuch of the official family, has only good relations with him.

So when the team was assembled, the group was full of confidence, and even fought with each other, and killed Jeju Yangsanbo violently.

But who would have thought that since the army arrived at the boundary of Shanzhou, it has been unsmooth everywhere, and it has been suppressed by the Liangshan army everywhere, which can be said to be a slap in the face.

First of all, in Shanfu County, Shanzhou, the vanguard of the 40,000 conquest army collided with the two battalions of the Liangshan army Zhang Qing's horse army, and Han Tao, the vanguard of the army, immediately stepped forward to meet him.

As a result, he was hit in the wrist by Zhang Qingyi with a stone, only to hit Han Tao with the jujube mallet in his hand, and returned to the battle.

After that, the Liangshan army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, killing more than 200 people on this side and then marching away, and when he pursued with a large army, the other party had already run away without a trace.

After that, it was Li Tianyan, Bian Xiang, Sun An, Tang Bin, Guan Sheng, and Yuan Lang, who suddenly came out of the middle every half an hour or an hour, and left calmly after getting the harvest every time.

Gradually, his side also learned to be obedient, as soon as the scouts in front came back to report the enemy's attack, he immediately ordered to stop the march, and Chen Yu, who was under the control of himself and Ying Tianfu, led several times the enemy's cavalry to meet the battle.

But this gang of Liangshan thieves is not stupid, every time they avoid but do not fight, swim but do not attack.

What's even more annoying is that the horses on the side of the court are not as good as this group of Liangshan thieves, they can't chase after them, they can't be surrounded, and the scouts who want to ambush each other are too powerful to be fooled at all.

As a result, the 40,000 imperial army could only be constantly harassed by this group of Liangshan bandits, and the daily marching speed was less than thirty miles.

That's it, no matter how slow the march is, even if it is harassed and annoying.

But the 40,000 imperial army always reached the edge of Jeju Subo; Although the constant harassment is a bit demoralizing, it is impossible to let the morale collapse, as long as you get to the outside of the water, there is a real knife-to-knife gun-to-gun fight, and the morale can always rise.

But who would have thought that just today, more than 400 scouts of the 40,000 army of nearly 600 were sent out and never returned!

The scout is the scout who is responsible for the outpost when the army is marching and fighting, and it is the elite of the army, and its personal combat quality is the strongest in the army, otherwise how can it be intercepted by the enemy's pursuit and interception, and send the situation back from the investigation.

But now the elite of the 40,000 imperial army of the imperial court, more than 400 scouts have disappeared out of thin air, and the other scouts who have returned safely are still because they are in charge of the sides and back of the sentry army.

Without asking, it can be known that these scouts who did not come back were not killed by Liang Shanjun and were arrested.

Hu Yanzhuo was shocked, and even a little frightened, the Liangshan scouts were so terrifying!

You must know that the scouts are all light horses and fast horses, or riding alone, or in groups of three or five, and there will be no more than twenty or thirty people in a team at most.

More than 400 scouts were scattered in front, how much of an area could this cover? Can you imagine how difficult it will be to eat them?

This is simply impossible, but this group of Liangshan thieves actually did it.

The combat effectiveness and number of Liangshan scouts ...... It's scary to think about!

Hu Yanzhuo is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he naturally knows what he loses if he loses the scout.

Without scouts, an army would be blind and deaf. Even if the enemy is already under his nose, even if the enemy has raised his sword and will cut it down immediately, he will not know...... What a terrible thing to do!

For this reason, Marshal Liang Fangping had to send himself, as well as Chen Yu, Cao Song, and Gao Zhongwu, each with a thousand cavalry to serve as scouts to sentinels.

As a result, many traces of battle were found in the front, and the scouts of the Liangshan army were also encountered, but there was still no sentinel to detect the position of the main force of the Liangshan army, how many men and horses there were.
