Liangshan Fengsui was built when the Liangshan army moved to Xucheng County, Song Jiang in order to appease the feelings of the generals who opposed leaving Liangshan, issued a death order, but where the Liangshan beacon fired, all the surrounding armies must be rescued quickly and must not violate the order.

At this time, the Liangshan beacon fire was lit on a clear night, and it was clearly visible within a hundred miles around, not only the naval army of the Liangshan Bo Islands, but also Yunzhou forty miles away in the southwest, Xucheng County fifty miles away in the northeast, and even the Liangshan military camp one hundred and fifty miles away on the opposite bank was also faintly visible.

Song Jiang was woken up by the soldiers when he was asleep, and he instinctively thought that the official army had attacked the camp, but he heard the soldiers report, "General, the Liangshan beacon fire seems to have been ignited!" ”

This made Song Jiang also taken aback, "Can you be sure that it's Liangshan Fenghuo?" He asked, getting up and putting on his clothes.

"It was discovered by the mountaintop outpost!"

Song Jiang didn't care about asking any more questions, hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the big tent, he couldn't see Liangshan in the big camp, he had to climb the lookout tower at the top of the hill, there was a small hill dozens of zhang high by the lake in the big camp, Song Jiang built a lookout tower on the hill to monitor the official and military camp dozens of miles away, and keep abreast of the movements of the officers and soldiers at any time.

Song Jiang climbed the hill surrounded by dozens of soldiers, and he didn't need to go up to the lookout tower, he stood on the hill and saw a small bright spot in the northwest, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Song Jiang frowned and asked: "Does the military advisor think this will be the beacon fire of Liangshan?" ”

"I can't think of anything else except Liangshan Beacon."

Wu Yong's expression became solemn, "It is very likely that Li Yanqing has already conquered Shouzhang County or Yuncheng County, and the outer defense line has been destroyed, so he can attack Liangshan in a big way." ”

"If that's the case, I should have received an alert!"

Song Jiang didn't agree with Wu Yong's conclusion a little, if it was as serious as Wu Yong said, there should be a courier from Xucheng County to send it to him, eight hundred miles to expedite, and it would arrive in half a day at the earliest.

Wu Yong was silent, in fact, he still had an unspeakable reason, that is, Wang Ying concealed the news of Liangshan, but Wang Ying was Song Jiang's confidant, and even such a major event as seizing the right to enter the army by force, in the end Song Jiang did not want to investigate and deal with it, so if his suspicions were spoken, it would only make Song Jiang suspect that he was playing with right and wrong.

"I really can't make up my mind, so the general will send someone to take a look! Actually, I don't think the problem of Liangshan is very big, there are 8,000 sailors in Shuibo, 6,000 troops on the periphery, 3,000 troops on the mountain, 18,000 troops, Liangshan should be fine. ”

Song Jiang nodded, "The military advisor is right, an army of 18,000 people guards Liangshan, if Liu Tang can't defend Liangshan in this way, then I have nothing to say." ”

Song Jiang ordered again: "Immediately arrange a fast boat to go to Liangshan to investigate and see what happened?" ”

After arranging the manpower, Song Jiang immediately walked down the mountain, Wu Yong hurriedly followed, and whispered behind Song Jiang: "Regarding Wang Ying's incident, many righteous brothers have quite complaints. ”

Song Jiang stopped and asked coldly, "Is anyone dissatisfied?" ”

"Of course, there are dissatisfactions, Chai Jin and the three of them are definitely dissatisfied, but now there is mainly a lot of discussion, saying that the general is too conniving with Wang Ying."

Song Jiang's face became ugly, and he snorted heavily for a while, "There are only 8,000 people left in the more than 20,000 troops, and they are still embarrassed to be dissatisfied?" I think it's already extra gracious not to hold them accountable for their brother's righteousness, you go and warn Chai Jin and the three of them, if they dare to talk behind their backs again, be careful that my military law is ruthless! ”

Wu Yong suddenly realized, could it be that Song Jiang secretly instructed Wang Ying to seize power? Although it was a bit unbelievable, from Song Jiang's statement, Wu Yongqing clearly felt that his guess was probably true.

At this time, Song Jiang stopped again, turned around and instructed Wu Yongdao: "Send a pigeon letter to Wang Ying at dawn, Liangshan I will send an army to rescue, let him defend Sucheng County for me, and he is not allowed to act rashly!" ”

........

The Liangshan beacon fire is particularly bright at night, it is like a flame with a magic spell, the surrounding Liangshan army immediately heard the wind, the first to dispatch is the 8,000 sailors in the Liangshan Bo, they set off from the islands, take hundreds of ships to the foot of Liangshan, Nguyen Thi Sanxiong led 7,000 sailors from the east waterway uphill, rushed to the front mountain of the Ringing Arrow City, strengthen the defense of the Liangshan army.

At the same time, the 3,000 soldiers of the Liangshan Army in Yuncheng County also left the county seat, marched in the night, and hurried to Liangshan.

But at this time, Liu Tang began to notice that something was wrong, although the other party was very powerful, but there was no substantial siege action, occasionally there would be bursts of crossbow arrows like raindrops towards the Ringing Arrow City, clanging at the head of the city, only causing slight damage to the soldiers.

Liu Tang looked at the situation of the enemy army under the mountain, and he was really a little uneasy in his heart, he had already faintly realized something?

At this time, a soldier shouted, "General Nguyen Wu is here!" ”

As soon as Liu Tang turned around, he saw Ruan Xiaowu leading a large group of soldiers to board the Ringing Arrow City, and the burly Ruan Xiaowu was walking towards him quickly, "Brother Liu, how is the situation?" Ruan Xiaowu asked loudly.

Liu Tang shook his head, "The situation is a little bad!" ”

"Why?"

Liu Tang pointed at the enemy troops under the mountain, "It's been more than an hour, but until now, they haven't entered within a hundred steps once, they are beating drums and shouting below, and occasionally shooting a few rounds of crossbow arrows, I suspect they have other intentions!" ”

"Could it be Yuncheng?" Ruan Xiaowu reacted immediately.

Liu Tang nodded slowly, "I suspect that they are attacking Liangshan in vain, but they are actually Tuyun City!" ”

Yuncheng is an important foundation city, and it must not be lost, Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and send a letter to Commander Hu and let him stay still!" ”

"I couldn't tell them, the soldiers couldn't go down the mountain, it was night, and the pigeon letters couldn't be delivered."

"Then I'll send someone by water to deliver the letter."

Ruan Xiaowu immediately made a decision, he summoned a team leader, gave him a few words, and the team leader took a few soldiers to go down the lake from the back mountain.

At this time, Liu Tang sighed, "There is news that the official army who led the army to attack Yunzhou this time is Li Yanqing, the fifth child knows him!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu's face was a little unnatural, and he said for a while: "I met him once, when he was still a country boy, I didn't expect him to be so promising now." ”

"I heard that the brothers in Hebei were wiped out in his hands, and this time he was not good, but Song Jiang put the main force in Jeju, which is a bit light!"

Ruan Xiaowu smiled bitterly, "Brother Song actually did not underestimate the enemy, he sent 20,000 troops north to support Yunzhou, but was ambushed by Li Yanqing, most of the dead and wounded, now we are fighting on two fronts, the enemy is on the back of the belly, and the army is unstable, this is a very grim reality, this time it is the veteran Master Dao who leads the army, I am afraid that we will be in big trouble, this is just what we say in private, don't spread it." ”

"Don't worry! I know it. ”

At this moment, suddenly a soldier shouted: "The enemy has withdrawn!" ”

Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaowu looked down the mountain together, only to see that the enemy army who was still beating drums and shouting just now suddenly did not move, and the figures in the woods also disappeared, which was indeed a sign of withdrawal.

Liu Tang was just about to give the order to attack, but Ruan Xiaowu hurriedly stopped him, "No, in case the other party is pretending to withdraw the army, it will be ambushed." ”

Liu Tang suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered several spies to go down the mountain to check the situation.

Sure enough, as Ruan Xiaowu said, several spies never came back after going down the mountain, and they were obviously killed by the enemy, Liu Tang didn't dare to be careless, let alone go down the mountain to meet the reinforcements from Yuncheng, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he was anxious all night.

．．．．．．

Yuncheng County is located forty miles southwest of Liangshan, like Shouzhang County, belongs to the outer defense line of Liangshan, when Liangshan's beacon for help was ignited, Hu Jin, the commander of Yunzhou, did not hesitate at all, and immediately led 3,000 troops to support Liangshan.

The area between Yuncheng and Yangsan was also part of Junozawa hundreds of years ago, but the lake shrank to form a sunken basin that was densely forested and sparsely populated, with a trail leading directly through a large forest to Yangsan.

At the fourth watch, the 3,000-strong Liangshan army was marching along the trail, they had walked more than 20 miles, less than 20 miles away from Liangshan, the terrain gradually became open, Hu Jin rode in the front, raised his gun and shouted: "Speed up, strive to reach Liangshan before dawn!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses chirping in the woods on the left, and Hu Jin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted, "It's not good, retreat quickly!" ”

He realized that there was an ambush in the woods, but it was too late, and he heard the sound of drums and fires, and from each side of the woods struck out a cavalry, each of which numbered about a thousand, and struck at the three thousand soldiers in the middle with swords and spears.

The soldiers of the Liangshan Army suddenly became chaotic, turned their heads and fled, Hu Jin also fled on horseback, and killed a general with a double mace in his hand, it was Niu Gao, he shouted, Zuo Gong picked up the opponent's spear, the two horses were staggered, Niu Gao backhanded, and hit the back of the enemy's general's head, only to listen to 'Bang! With a bang, Hu Jin's head suddenly blossomed, and his body was planted from the horse.

The lord was killed, and the 3,000 Liangshan troops had no backbone, scattered and fled, and soon became 3,000 lambs to be slaughtered, allowing the 2,000 cavalry to slaughter wantonly.
