Chapter 186: Before the War

"Brother, I think the situation is very wrong......"

"How?"

Guan Sheng frowned slightly, and said, "Brother, how long has it been since our sentry came back?" ”

Hearing this, Xuanzan's brows furrowed, and he said, "Brother, I also think this thing is strange, there has been no sentinel back for almost two moments." ”

Guan Sheng's lying silkworm frowned even tighter: "Brother, where is this place, how far is it from Liangshanbo?" ”

"We have only passed Linpu County, Puzhou, and it is less than one hundred and thirty miles away from Liangshanbo."

"It's not good, we may have run into the sentry of the Liangshan Army, otherwise it can't be explained at all!"

Guan Sheng's face suddenly became ugly, he couldn't have imagined that the two armies on his side went to conquer Liangshan, and Lin Chong dared to take the initiative.

Guan Sheng found that he had made a big mistake, that is, in his thoughts, Liang Shanjun should be urgently preparing for war at this moment, and it was necessary to take a defensive position in an all-round way, but he didn't expect Liang Shanjun to take such a risk.

Yes, before that, Lin Chong alone dared to design to kill a hundred Western thieves and iron harriers, and only a hundred horsemen dared to ransack the Taiwei Mansion, and confronted tens of thousands of Song Dynasty forbidden troops at the south gate of Bianliang.

This person is really bold, otherwise he would dare to pull the flag and rebel under the nose of Bianjing City!

Xuanzan's face was also a little anxious, and he took the initiative to ask: "Brother, in this case, why don't you just order the whole army to stop advancing and prepare for battle, and I will take someone to the front to have a look." ”

Guan Sheng thought for a while and said, "In this way, then there will be Brother Lao, and this way is thanks to you, brother." ”

Guan Sheng said the truth, thinking that he was just a small Pudong patrol before Guan Sheng, in charge of two or three hundred native soldiers, and was promoted to the commander of the troops, commanding 25,000 soldiers and horses, how could these arrogant and lazy generals be willing to convince him sincerely?

Therefore, along the way, thanks to Xuanzan, the general of the Jingshi, relying on the official rank of the defense envoy (the military minister's Jilu official, with a high position but no business) and the identity of the county horse, these generals did not dare to make trouble and reluctantly obeyed orders.

"What did my brother say? The elder brother's martial arts and the little brother are sincerely admired, and the younger brother is willing to be his brother's deputy. ”

Xuanzan shook his head with a smile, hugged his fists on the horse, lit up a battalion of horse troops, bowed and arrowed lightly, and quickly rode forward.

Soon, after running only a mile or two away, Xuanzan's department found the scattered sentry horses of the Liangshan Army in front, Rao was mentally prepared, and Xuanzan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Seeing that the other party only had twelve horsemen, and seeing five hundred light horsemen coming, he was not afraid at all, and dared to cruise his horse in the distance, and he couldn't help but be angry: "Catch up with me and capture them alive!" ”

The five hundred knights of the Song army immediately kicked the horse's belly, and the tide rushed towards the Liangshan knights, and the small group of Liangshan sentries were also not in a hurry, and ran backwards, while running, one of them also took out a riding bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

Want to signal to your peers?

Xuanzan didn't care, and continued to lead the team to chase wildly, but as soon as he approached about eighty steps, he saw six knights running behind on the opposite side turned around, and in his hand was the first divine weapon of the Song Army's individual soldiers-Divine Arm Bow!

Xuanzan's eyes widened, of course he also has the Divine Arm Bow on his side, but it has always been used for the infantry, because the Divine Arm Bow is too strong, and it can't be wound on the horse at all, so it can't be fired just once, although the Great Song Dynasty is rich, it is not so extravagant.

"Dodge the arrows!"

As soon as Xuanzan's roar came out, he heard several screams ringing in his ears, and Xuanzan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly hid in a stirrup, and a crossbow arrow flew against the neck of his horse in another place, and hit the standard-bearer behind him.

咻~咻~咻~

After two rounds of twelve crossbow arrows were fired, a total of five people on the Song army's side fell from the arrows, although the number was not much, but the momentum was frustrated, and Xuanzan shouted: "Catch up!" Their god arm can't be wound! ”

So the Song army was overjoyed, kicked the horse's belly again, squeezed the horsepower to the maximum, and the distance between the two sides soon began to close, seeing that it was about to chase within forty steps, but at this time, the twelve horsemen on the opposite side turned around violently again, and the twelve divine arm bows and crossbow arrows shone a little cold light in the sun.

咻~咻~咻~

Because the two sides were too close to each other, and the target of the five hundred Song troops was too big, none of the twelve crossbow arrows missed the shot, and even three crossbow arrows even created a record of one arrow piercing two.

Suddenly, there was a burst of people on the side of the Song army's cavalry, and the screams shook the sky, only to see Xuanzan tearing.

Straight lady thief, the equipment of this Liangshan army is too good, and it even equips the cavalry sentry with two divine arm bows!

Xuanzan was shocked and angry, and once again ordered a full-speed pursuit, and shot arrows to kill, but the twelve cavalry sentry detectives gently kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse under the crotch immediately accelerated and threw the Song army's side away.

Xuanzan became depressed again, straight lady thief, how did Liang Shanjun do it, even the war horse is so good! No wonder all the Song Army sentry agents couldn't come back.

At that moment, Xuanzan ordered to slow down and slow down the horsepower, otherwise he would keep running at full speed, or it wouldn't be long before these horses would be wasted.

At this moment, dozens of Liangshan scouts came out of the front, Xuanzan felt that something was wrong, but after hesitating, he still ordered to disperse the pursuit and surround it on three sides.

In any case, if you go out in person, you must find out more detailed information before you can go back, otherwise you don't even know how many people from the Liangshan army came, how can this battle be fought?

On the other side, the Song army brigade, not long after Xuanzan led 500 cavalry to leave, sounded the military horn to stop the march, and 40,000 people slowly stopped, and began to assemble in place to meet the battle.

Guan Sheng once again sent a group of scout sentry riders to see if there was an ambush around, and where it was suitable to set up camp, and at this time, Hao Siwen, who was leading the team in the back, also ran over on a fast horse and asked about the situation.

"I don't know how many people from the Liangshan Army came this time? This Lin Chong's use of soldiers is really unexpected......"

Looking at the chaotic and slow formation efficiency of the more than 30,000 Song troops under his command, many people complained again and again, saying that they didn't even see the shadow of the Liangshan army, what kind of formation they lined up, and what kind of battle they were facing...... Guan Sheng also shook his head, and for the first time in his heart he had a feeling of unconfidence.

At the same time, he was a little regretful, and said in his heart that if his command were all elite soldiers like the Western Army, or even just Shan Tingjue, the two battalions of elite soldiers personally trained by Wei Dingguo, why should he be afraid of his Liangshan Army? This time, we will be able to fill in the water and break through Liangshan!

Hao Siwen didn't think about this, so he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Brother, do you really want to meet the third brother and the fourth brother in battle, and fight to the death on the battlefield?" ”
