Chapter 10 Jingguan, Confrontation

In the southwest of Provincial Weicheng, Han Shizhong was anxious to ride on a horse, eager to turn into a big bird and fly to Provincial Weicheng.

Although Lin Chong and the others must have arrived at Shengwei City at this time, the battle has already ended, and they can't catch up at this time.

But Han Shizhong was very worried, and always felt that this fact was too unreliable and crazy.

With only 1,500 men, he dared to march long distances to raid the city of Weicheng, which was heavily defended by the Western Thieves, and the risk could be described as sending him to death or nine deaths.

Even if things are really as determined by the Lin army's calculations - the provincial city is only more than 100 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, and the city is not large, and it can't fit too many soldiers and horses, Brother Richard definitely didn't really fight the Liangshan army here, but sent a partial division to intercept the Liangshan army here for a short time, and then swindled the Liangshan army to pursue.

Therefore, there will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses in the city of Shengwei, and all of them are cavalry, and they will inevitably spend the night in the city in the cold weather, so we can block him in the city, use the cover of the city wall to fight a positional battle with them, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It's just that even if everything is as judged by the Lin army master, after all, the Liangshan army is only 1,500 people, and no matter how small the number of thieves is, there will always be thousands or even 10,000, right?

Not to mention that the Liangshan army was still marching long distances and was extremely tired.

Not to mention that even if everything goes well, there is also a right wing Chaoshun military division near Provincial Weicheng, once the western thief immediately sends troops to surround Provincial Weicheng, can the Lin army master really hold on until the main force of the army arrives here?

Han Shizhong is the kind of impulsive character, when he was young, he often liked to act chivalrous and fight against violence, and he also killed two evil scoundrels.

Originally, according to the law, he was going to be sentenced to death, but it was also thanks to the local parent official Chen Yu who pleaded with the minister of Jing Liugong and said: "Shizhong is fierce and not afraid of death, Kou Zhi, and he ordered the current beheading to redeem himself, and kill the strong man?" This saved his life, and since then he has joined the Western Army, taking the lead in every battle, and making countless contributions.

Therefore, Han Shizhong didn't care about whether the Liangshan Army was a confidant of the imperial court or not, he only knew that now the Liangshan Army was a friendly brother who fought side by side with him, a good man worthy of bravery, brave and fearless, and worthy of admiration.

Now Lin Chong is taking 1,500 people to find the western thieves desperately to avenge the tortured and killed Guanxi villagers, at this time the victory or defeat is unknown, life and death are unknown, how can Han Shizhong not be in a hurry?

What's more important is such a risky thing, he is extremely brave, and his personal force is also the top three first-class generals in the entire Western Army, Lin Chong didn't even take himself there.

What else did he say: "Lin Chong also knows that this operation is a bit impulsive, too risky, this is going to die for a lifetime, Brother Han and Brother Wu, you are not from Liangshanjun, I can't let you follow us on an adventure." It really made him a little depressed, and he couldn't vent it.

When he was anxious and depressed, he heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Han Shizhong's eyesight was excellent, and when he raised his eyes, he saw at least a dozen horsemen galloping towards this side.

Han Shizhong and Brother Wu Jie glanced at each other, and the three of them immediately became excited and nervous, because they had already seen a white big coat and a blood-red helmet with a big helmet on the helmet.

Without hesitation, a few people immediately hit their horses to meet them, except for Zhang Qing, who was responsible for leading the march of the front army, he also ran out of the array as soon as possible.

Zhang Qing quickly recognized that the leader of the people was Lin Chong's personal guard captain Wei Chi Bin, and said loudly from afar: "But good news? ”

"Ah, General Zhang......"

Wei Chibin was also very excited when he saw Zhang Qing and the others, and hurriedly reined in the war horse, but he ran on the horse for several hours in succession, and yesterday he ran more than 300 miles at once, at this time his legs were already numb and painful, and he was extremely tired.

Seeing them like this, everyone's hearts, including Zhang Qing, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie, couldn't help but pinch up, and they were distressed and worried.

Is this here to report the victory, or is the provincial Weicheng in danger and came to inform the large army to rush to support?

Wei Chibin hurriedly hugged the horse's neck, and it was easy to sit down on the horse, and then he said loudly: "Great victory!" The provincial city has been broken by us, and the Liang King Liang Yiyou has been beheaded, and the 8,000 captured troops in the city have almost been wiped out! ”

"Huh?!"

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie couldn't help but exclaim.

The two didn't expect Liang Shanjun to achieve such a clean victory, because in their opinion, Lin Chong made such a decision completely risky, angry, and even sent to death.

With such a huge disparity in strength, and the use of light cavalry to raid the well-defended defenders, even if it is a lucky victory, it will only be a miserable victory, how can it be such a brilliant victory?

How the hell did Liang Shanjun do it?!

"What are the casualties of our army? Is the military master okay? ”

Zhang Qing was also a little worried before, but now he quickly calmed down, giving people the feeling that he knew that the result would be like this.

"Our army lost 476 casualties, 142 seriously wounded and incapacitated, and most of the rest were wounded, but they were able to hold on. The army lord is very good, and the army lord has an order for General Zhang to immediately lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to speed up the front army, and rush to the provincial city before noon, and the rest of the soldiers and horses must arrive at four o'clock in the hour. ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists to receive the order, and at this time, more soldiers and horses ran over, and when they heard the news of the victory, they immediately cheered loudly, and the fatigue caused by the long march was suddenly swept away.

At this time, Han Shizhong couldn't help it, so he asked, "What the hell is going on?" Brother Wei Chi, can you elaborate on it? ”

So Wei Chibin briefly told the battle process.

After he finished speaking, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and the others were all dumbfounded, and their mouths opened wide.

After a long time, Han Shizhong shouted: "Haha, the Liangshan Army is really a god, my old Han is convinced, no wonder you can break through Tokyo City and defeat 100,000 Liao troops!" ”

Wu Jie also analyzed on the side: "Just as we didn't expect the Lin Army Lord to raid the Provincial Wei City, the Western Thieves also didn't expect the Liangshan Army to come so quickly, and we quickly captured the South Gate by carelessness."

Then they saw that we had few soldiers, and unconsciously thought that they could quickly take back the south gate, but we were killed and wounded by us under the city.

In the end, he learned to be obedient, but it was too late, Liang Yiyou was shot by General Hua Rong, the morale of the western thieves was greatly demoralized, the command was chaotic, and finally we were beaten in the city gate at both ends, and they were killed to the point of collapse, and the hedgehogs gathered together to trample on each other!

The Liangshan Army is really the strongest army in the world, not to mention anything else, just being able to endure this hardship, just this courage, this revenge, and the bloody nature of revenge on the spot, which is incomparable to many armies! ”

The generals of the Liangshan Army couldn't help but show extremely proud looks on their faces when they heard this, but Luan Tingyu was a person with a more delicate personality, and when he heard Wu Jie's subconscious call Liangshan Army "we", he couldn't help but smile.

In the nearly ten months since joining the Liangshan Army, Luan Tingyu has also seen a lot, and this group undoubtedly has a strong appeal and attraction to most of the martial artists whose blood has not yet been extinguished.

Many people join the Liangshan Army for the first time or have various other purposes, but it is not surprising that soon these people will completely lose their hearts to the Liangshan Army, and wholeheartedly follow the military master to make meritorious contributions, save the world, and do the right thing for heaven.

Presumably, the three people who the military master took a fancy to were attracted by the call of the Liangshan Army, and it would not be too far to take the initiative to join the Liangshan Army.

Luan Tingyu guessed correctly, when Han Shizhong followed Zhang Qing's troops to the provincial Weicheng at noon, he quickly took the initiative to ask to join the Liangshan Army.

Driven by Han Shizhong, Lin Chong took advantage of the situation to send an invitation to Wu Jie, and Wu Jie agreed without thinking about it, and took his younger brother Wu Lan to join the Liangshan Army.

Of course, the reason why the two made such a decision was because they were only junior officers in the Western Army now, and they were unknown, so they were not too reused, and they didn't have much of a burden in their hearts.

If they now achieve the position of Wang Yu's commander, or even like Wu Jie, who was the last elite of the Western Army in the later period, and guarded the main road from Guanshan to Shu, then Lin Chong would invite each other again, and the two would have to think about it more.

The other is that the Liangshan army is really very kind of their temper, not only brave and good at fighting, brave and fearless, but more importantly, the special temperament exuded by this army far beyond the heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which really attracted them deeply.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when a few people first arrived at the south gate of the provincial Wei City, when they saw the huge Jingguan and the Jingguan stone in front, a few people only felt that their blood was boiling, and this feeling was something that the Western Army could not give them.

"The way of heaven is good, there is a reason to cover China, and the people's hearts are obedient, although they all take revenge. It is the party slave Li Yuanhao, the remnant of my Chinese Ming slave, whose ancestors were attached to the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and received great favor from the world......"

“…… The western thieves rebelled, plundered the population, killed our soldiers, and poisoned the Kansai region, which has been around for nearly a hundred years...... Is it to deceive me Shenzhou Hogo no one...... Today, Huaxia Lin Chong beheaded the head of the western thief, cast the Beijing view here, and warn all parties.

Jingguan is based on it, and those who dare to make trouble in Siyi will be killed! Dare to peep into Shenzhou and destroy it! Kill one of my people, and I will kill you. I swear by this, don't say it unexpectedly! ”

I don't know why, in short, after Han Shizhong saw these words on this huge Jingguan and Jingguan Stone, he only felt that his whole body was hot, and the blood in his whole body was ringing, as if it was burning, and a stream of heat was surging in his chest, but he couldn't find a place to vent.

As soon as he was excited, he took the initiative to find Lin Chong and said: "Brother Lin (the two have actually known each other for a long time) You are too uninteresting, such a happy battle is not brought with me Han Wu!" The 1,500 people almost completely annihilated 8,500 people (500 people left behind in the Mi Capture Division), which is really too happy!

Didn't you say that I am not a member of your Liangshan Army, and you can't let me take risks, and now I want to join the Liangshan Army, can you accept it? ”

Lin Chong has long been playing the idea of these three future famous generals, so naturally he will not accept it, and immediately said that he values the three of them, as long as the three of them perform well, they must be entrusted with reuse, that is, they will be in charge of the future alone, and it is also possible to be alone in the town.

In this way, Han Shizhong and the three of them were very happy, but they also knew that although Lin Chong valued the three of them very much, after all, the three of them had just joined, and it was impossible to let them lead an army alone, so the three of them just asked Lin Chong to send them to battle every time he needed to charge into battle and break through difficulties.

Lin Chong immediately agreed.

However, what made them depressed was that for the next five days, Liang Shanjun and the Western Thieves did not have a decent exchange meeting.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, or like fools, the western thieves wanted to guide the Liangshan army to the preset ambush location like a fool, and the Liangshan army also drilled into the pocket array arranged by the western thieves like a fool.

On the afternoon of the day when Han Shizhong and Wu Jie joined the Liangshan Army, Hu Yanzhuo finally led the main force of 20,000 Liangshan cavalry to arrive at the provincial Weicheng, and after resting for a night, he marched to the right flank of Keyimen towards the Shun Military Division the next day.

On the way, they encountered more than 10,000 elite captives led by Brother Richard, and the two sides had a short contact, but they had not yet started fighting, but they only sent scout posts to each other to try to attack.

As a result, most of the elite scouts sent by the Liangshan army were Han people from the north with superb riding skills, as well as the Jurchens who surrendered to Zengtou City of the Liangshan army, the Khitans and the Xi people, and the level of cavalry and archery was no worse than that of the western thieves.

Seeing this, Richard did not dare to send a formal field force to fight on horseback, but immediately retreated far away.

The Liangshan army is also like a fool, the western thief army retreats and the Liangshan army chases, the western thief army stops, and the Liangshan army also stops.

Then he went all the way through the desert area of more than 100 miles and came to the area of Lou Bobei, the garrison of the military division of Baimaqiang Town.

This time, Richard did not retreat all the way to the oasis area of Lou Bobei, but stopped at the edge of the desert, and when the Liangshan army also stopped, he found that he had been surrounded by countless armies of western thieves around him.

At that time, Han Shizhong was a little excited, because in his mind, Lin Chong must have some basis for daring to do this, such as the meat floss, milk powder, fried noodles with lard, compressed biscuits, etc., which Han Shizhong now knows, as well as the new thunderbolt, there is no need to worry about being eaten or dragged to death by the enemy when he is encircled.

The second is that since the Liangshan army has been encircled, the western thieves should always attack, even if the temptation is a tentative attack.

In that way, he could follow the Lin army master, Yang Zaixing, Wang Feiyu and they charged into battle, invincible, and killed.

Unexpectedly, the western thieves were frightened by the strong combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army to break through the provincial Weicheng city, as well as the cavalry combat ability of the scouts to test the confrontation, and they did not take the initiative to attack the Liangshan army for two days.

On the side of the Liangshan army, because it was surrounded by nearly ten times the enemy, it was impossible to take the initiative to launch an attack rashly, so it also chose to stand still, and the two sides coexisted peacefully for two days in such a peaceful and strange way.

However, the two sides did not do nothing in the past two days, and the Liangshan army was busy secretly burying barbed wire around the camp in the middle of the night, digging horse traps, and sprinkling thistles and so on; The thieves, on the other hand, were busy blatantly digging trenches.

In just two days, more than 100,000 Western thieves set up two huge trenches around the Liangshan Army, blocking the Liangshan Army to death, leaving only a few passages, and there were also heavy guards of the Western Thieves Army.

To say that Brother Richard is also a famous general in the world, the combat power of the Liangshan Army is so strong, Lin Chong has never been defeated since the establishment of the Liangshan Army, so naturally he will not be a fool.

Liang Shanjun was so easily fooled, he followed him to the encirclement, and seeing that he was digging a trench on his side and not blocking it, he took the opportunity to attack, Brother Richard was really worried that Lin Chong would have something to do.

Therefore, when digging trenches every day, Brother Richard was also worried, worried that the Liangshan army would be put to death and come back to life, fighting against the water, and then attacking his own Chinese army, although the Great Xia army had many soldiers, but the elite was only tens of thousands, and there were not so many people on the battlefield.

Once the Liangshan army launched a decisive charge, the advantage of strength at the beginning was actually not much, at most two to one, and even on the front line it was still one to one, once their own Chinese army was instantly defeated, then the numerical advantage would become a disadvantage......

But Liang Shanjun just watched and knew that the trench had been dug up.

Richard finally relented.
