"Tell the leader, the Song army has been stationed ten miles outside the city, and Song Jiang is shouting in front of the battle!" A soldier wearing a yellow silk scarf came to report to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang smiled slightly: "I didn't expect their speed to be so fast, and it was expected." Pass my order, and you can order the troops to open the city gate and fight to the death with the Song army. It just so happens that I also want to see who the commander of the Song army is? Dare to shout in front of our army, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall! ”

Song Jiang stood up, and everyone also stood up, ready to go, and the soldiers in the city were already ready. With Song Jiang's order, everyone walked towards the city gate in unison. In front of the gate of Qingzhou, Song Jiang and others opened the city gate, set up a formation, and lined up. Zhao Gou looked from afar, and saw Song Jiang riding a war horse, neatly dressed, wearing a robe, and walking towards Zhao Gou and the others on horseback.

Zhao Gou saw that Song Jiang led the army to come, and there were no portraits of Song Jiang in history, and the murals that circulated in later generations were just fabrications. Zhao Gou had never seen Song Jiang's true face, and when he saw him take the first step out, he guessed that the person in front of him was him. At the same time, Zhao Gou also came quietly on horseback.

The two of them walked to the center of the field, Song Jiang was surprised to see that the commander of the Song army was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and the others were also wide-eyed, their faces were full of incredulity, they never thought that the Song army would actually send a teenager to come, the whole person was stunned, his face was full of disdain, and he sneered: "The court is really no one available, it is a young man who is actually sent, who am I, little doll, I still advise you to go back to find your mother!" War is not for you, go back quickly and avoid your life! ”

Zhao Gou smiled disapprenously: "The leader of the famous Liangshan Army, who was originally a weak scholar, commanded a longed-down Liangshan Army, which is really unexpected. People are not good-looking, and the sea is not measured. Chief Song, I didn't want to go to war with you. If you abandon your arms and surrender, and you are not to blame for the past, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to all of you, I don't know what Chief Song wants? ”

Song Jiang saw that Zhao Gou was calm and unhurried, and replied: "The general is polite, Song is just a common man." If it weren't for the emperor's disregard for the lives of the people, the heavy taxes that made the people miserable, the starving to death, and the uprooted homeland, all of this was due to the gift of today's saints. ”

"The Yellow River burst its banks, floods flooded, and the imperial court continued to increase taxes regardless of the people's suffering. If the country and the people are safe, and the four seas are peaceful, how can they gather people to revolt. However, today's saints don't think about the people's sufferings, they just want to enjoy it, and the country takes turns to do it, and this year it will come to my house. ”

Zhao Gou was silent, he knew that what Song Jiang said was true. However, there are some things that he and Song Huizong know about themselves, and they don't need to explain too much. Sometimes the more explanations there are, the more you want to cover them up. Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Since the Song leader has made up his mind, then we will divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield. However, the kid still advised the leader that there were still loyal ministers in the court, how could they be beaten to death with a stick. ”

"Liangshan is in the name of 'doing the right thing for heaven', but have your actions really brought happiness to the people? The war is raging, and there are Liao, Xixia and others eyeing each other, you don't want to serve the country, but gather people to revolt. If this continues, the country will be in trouble, and you will not be able to escape responsibility. ”

Song Jiang was not angry and laughed: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" ”

Zhao Gou and Song Jiang turned around and left, and Zhao Gou returned to the Song army's camp; Song Jiang returned to the Liangshan army, and then led the people away. A moment later, the gate of Qingzhou was closed, and they had already entered it. Everyone walked towards the city wall, and Zhao Gou had already set up a "long snake array" waiting for the arrival of the Liangshan army.

Wu Yong said in a low voice: "It's actually the 'One Word Long Snake Formation', Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, what do you think?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo is the founder of the Song Dynasty Iron Whip King Huyan Zanyan faction descendants, ancestral home and state Taiyuan, Shangliang Mountain before the Runing County control, martial arts strong, killing brave, there are thousands of undue bravery. Because it is good at making two water-milled eight-edged steel whips, it is called "double whips" Hu Yanzhuo.

Guan Shengnai is the fifth among the heroes of Liangshan, the first of the five tiger generals of the Ma Army, and the descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, who is proficient in the art of war and makes a green dragon glaive knife. He was originally an inspector of Pudong, but he only joined Liangshan because he offended the powerful and fell for the scheme.

Guan Sheng said in a deep voice: "The 'One Word Long Snake Formation' is divided into three parts: the head, the tail, and the gall. When the formation changes, the real and the false are used together. The long snake array is running, like a giant python attacking, attacking fiercely! The mobility of the cavalry on both wings is the most important, so the best way to break the long snake formation is to limit the mobility of the two wings so that they cannot take care of each other. ”

"The long snake array is deduced according to the habits of the snake, and there are three variations of the long snake array: first, hit the snake's head, move the tail, and roll; 2. Hit the snake's tail, move first, bite; Three, the snake body rampage, head to tail, twist! If you want to break the formation, you need to set a trap in our infantry formation, use the two infantry phalanxes to prevent the movement of the opponent's cavalry on both wings, so that they cannot exert their ability to move and be flexible, and then use the strong heavy cavalry to launch a strong attack on their snake-bellied infantry, so that their formation is scattered and disorderly! In one fell swoop, the infantry phalanx was defeated and the long snake formation was cut into three pieces, so that the long snake formation was fighting on its own, and it could no longer fight with the cooperation of the three parties, and the formation would not attack and break itself! ”

Hu Yanzhuo answered: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If they change formations, attack the head or tail of the long snake formation, and the other end will turn around, forming a two-dragon water formation. The middle is forward, forming the three talent arrays of heaven and earth. The two ends retreated, forming a four-door bottom formation, interspersed with each other, and turned into a five-tiger flock formation. ”

"Then they are arranged according to the Liuding Liujia, that is, the Liuding Liujia Formation. Then half of it was drawn into a line, and half of it was like a four-door bottom array, that is, the Big Dipper Seven Star Array. Circle around, arrange the array according to the Bagua Array, leave eight exits, and turn into a square, that is, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. According to the arrangement of the nine palaces, each grid of soldiers will be interspersed, gradually like a whole, intersecting each other, that is, the nine-character chain array. In the end, it became an ambush array on all sides. The ten formations are endlessly changing, and it is difficult to resist! ”

Song Jiang said in a low voice: "So, I still underestimated that young man, but I didn't expect him to be a master of soldiers, why has the court never heard of his reputation?" At the beginning, I thought it would be Zong Ze, Wu Jie and others coming. I never thought it would be this hairy boy, but I really responded to what he said, people can't be good-looking! ”

Wu Song interjected: "Brother, do you think that person looks familiar?" ”

Song Jiang and the others looked at him together, only to see a person in cyan armor guarding the belly of the snake, and everyone saw him with clear eyebrows, a dark face, and a spear in his hand, as if he was familiar with him. The flower monk Lu Zhishen shouted violently: "That's Lin Chong, the head of the forbidden army, why is Brother Lin here?" ”

Lu Zhishen's words reminded Lu Junyi of his junior brother who practiced martial arts together, and Wu Song, Shi Jin and others also suddenly realized. After all, they have a great friendship with Lin Chong, in addition to Lu Junyi and others who have a friendship with him, there are other people who have a friendship with him, especially the flower monk Lu Zhishen. They were friends for eight worships, just because Lu Zhishen was also drunk and killed someone, and fled in panic, when they were in Beijing, the relationship between the two was very good.

"He is the head of the forbidden army, and his martial arts are definitely not bad, why didn't he come yesterday, but those two boys came?" Song Jiang was a little puzzled, they didn't know that Lin Chong came late at night, even if Liang Shanjun sent spies, they couldn't know every move, they lowered their heads and pondered, frowned, and thought: "It's really hard to deal with this now!" ”

Not only Lu Junyi and Lu Zhishen, but even Song Jiang and Wu Yong have heard of Lin Chong's reputation, and they have also drunk together. Therefore, not only Lu Junyi and others were entangled, but even Song Jiang was a little hesitant. However, at the moment of the great enemy, there is still an old situation there, so they can only choose to go to war.

Zhao Gou returned to the army, and remembered what Yang Yizhong and Yue Fei said to him, and he believed that Liang Shanjun was far stronger than in the romance novel, and even Song Jiang was handsome. Moreover, Zhao Gou felt that it was impossible for Song Jiang to be incapable of martial arts at all. Therefore, when Song Jiang frowned, Zhao Gou was also silent.

He knew that this matter was more important, so letting all the soldiers set up a formation was also a test to see if anyone in the Liangshan army knew the way of formation. At the beginning, what Zhao Gou whispered in the ears of Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong was to guess that Song Jiang tore up the letter and asked them to prepare, they must observe the marching layout of the Liangshan army, and also look at their abilities, and they must not show weakness. Since Liang Shan is a good man, he will definitely not do things that hurt people secretly, sometimes face is very important to them, so let them be indifferent to be good and not surprised, and they will definitely be able to come back.

Zhao Gou asked Lin Chong to wait at the three inches of the long snake formation, just because he was a civil servant, it was not good to show his martial arts, otherwise he would definitely go out in person. For now, it is also unbreakable. Zhao Gong lived in the center as the commander, and he changed the formation at any time, and he also knew that someone from the Liangshan Army would definitely come to break the formation, and if there was no accident, someone would definitely come to break the formation, just wait.
