Chapter 423: Infighting in the city

The last person Chai Jin wanted to see was Wang Ying, but for food, he had to beg Wang Ying every once in a while, which made Chai Jin feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

In the military office, Wang Ying finished reading Song Jiang's letter, and said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother values righteousness and doesn't want to hurt the feelings between brothers, of course we should follow the eldest brother's opinion, I don't know when General Chai plans to hand over the military power to me?" ”

"Is this the result of your so-called consultation?" Chai Jin glared at Wang Yingdao angrily.

Wang Ying shook his head, "Just kidding, but I understand that the so-called negotiation should be a compromise on both sides, I want the army, General Chai wants food, in fact, I think it's easy to solve!" ”

Wang Ying's implication is to exchange food for the army, in fact, this is also the plan that Chai Jin thought of, since he wants to compromise, it is impossible for him not to pay, the key is how many troops he wants to give? How much food can the other party give themselves?

"And how many troops are you going to have?" Chai Jin asked bluntly.

"I want you to have 5,000 troops and give you 30% of the food."

Chai Jin's face suddenly became ugly, if he wanted to leave his 5,000 army, he would only have 3,000 troops left, but Wang Ying had become 8,000 troops, which was exactly the opposite of now.

Chai Jin immediately shook his head in opposition, "This plan is too much, I can't accept it." ”

Wang Ying just said, where is the sincerity to exchange troops with the other party, he sneered, "Since you have to eat and drink if you don't eat toast, then I can't help it." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and without waiting for Chai Jin to react, dozens of Wang Ying's personal soldiers suddenly rushed in when he went out, raising their spears and aiming at him.

Chai Jin was furious, "Wang Ying, what are you going to do?" ”

"You'll find out soon!" Wang Ying's smug laughter came from outside the tent.

The soldier rushed forward and tied Chai Jin with a rope, Chai Jin scolded with hatred, but Wang Ying walked away.

Not long after, Shi Jin and Shi Xiu also received news that the official army had conquered Shouzhang County, and Liangshan urgently asked for help and asked him to come and discuss the dispatch of troops.

Shi Jin and Shi Xiu did not suspect it, and hurried to the barracks, when they just walked into the barracks, two large nets fell from the sky, covering the two, hundreds of soldiers were killed, more than a dozen followers were all killed, Shi Jin and Shi Xiu were firmly bound.

"Wang Ying, you bastard, you don't have to die!" Shi Jin scolded.

At this time, Wang Ying appeared next to the two of them wearing a suit of armor, he kicked at the two of them fiercely, and scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, you dare to scold me, if it weren't for the big brother's face, I would have broken the three of you dog mongrels into pieces." ”

He turned back and ordered, "Shut them up for us!" ”

The soldiers gagged the two men with rags, and the two of them whined and roared, and their eyes were burning with hatred.

Wang Ying was not relentless, he immediately ordered the three men to be loaded into a carriage, and taken out of the city with their horses and weapons, and thrown into the wilderness ten miles south of Sucheng, and threw them a small knife, and the cavalry returned to Sucheng at a gallop.

After a while, Shi Jin cut Chai Jin's rope with a knife, Chai Jin untied the two of them, and the three of them were so angry that their chests were about to explode, but they also knew that Wang Ying was ruthless and poisonous, and if he killed him again, he would be killed.

Wang Ying then incorporated Chai Jin's 8,000 troops, inserted his henchmen into it, and served as the commander of each battalion, if the original commander was willing to swear allegiance to him, demoted to one level, if he refused to be loyal, he would kill him with a knife, and in just two days, he firmly controlled this army.

The reason why Wang Ying dared to do this, of course, has his confidence, Chai Jin received a letter from Song Jiang, and Wang Ying also received a secret letter from Song Jiang, which implied that he could seize power, but he was not allowed to hurt the lives of the three people, with Song Jiang's secret support, Wang Ying would have any scruples.

As for Liangshan's call for help, Wang Ying didn't take it to heart at all, Liangshan is Liu Tang in charge, since he is asking for help, he should go to Lu Junyi, what does it have to do with him?

..........

After Li Yanqing conquered Shouzhang County, he did not get a response from Sucheng County, and Xucheng County turned a deaf ear to Liangshan's request for help, and Li Yanqing had to increase his efforts to attack Liangshan.

That night, Liangshan Town at the foot of Liangshan suddenly ignited a raging fire, Liangshan Town was originally a small village at the foot of the mountain, Liangshan specially invested heavily to build it into a small town, the town has an area of hundreds of acres of Liangshan Annex, specially to welcome the world's heroes, there are two restaurants and an inn, in addition to more than a dozen various shops and more than 100 households, there are 300 garrisons in the town.

Although the night attack was expected by the Liangshan army, when it did happen, it still caused great tension among the officers and men of the Liangshan army on the mountain.

Although it was also night, the 3,000 soldiers of the Liangshan Army who were guarding the mountain still quickly rushed to various checkpoints, stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.

Liu Tang rushed to the front of a checkpoint, this checkpoint is only three hundred steps away from Liangshan Town, in fact, a stone wall was built on the way up the mountain, to go up the mountain must pass in front of the stone wall, the strong and tall stone wall with the narrow mountain road, can be called a master, ten thousand people can not open.

There were already two hundred soldiers behind the stone wall, and everyone was nervously staring at the fire at the foot of the mountain, lest an army be killed from the fire.

"Is there any hostility?" Liu Tang asked, looking at the foot of the mountain.

"General Qiyu, not for the time being!"

As soon as the commander finished speaking, the soldiers shouted, "Someone has come up!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at the foot of the mountain together, only to see that there were many people at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that hundreds of people were rushing towards the mountain, and the soldiers raised their crossbows together, and Liu Tang shouted: "No shooting!" ”

He heard the cry of a woman inside, this should be the people of the small town who fled to the mountain, not the officers and soldiers who came to cover up.

The commander hurriedly said: "General, what if there are enemy troops mixed inside?" ”

This is indeed a big problem, Liu Tang groaned and ordered: "Send a few brothers down to have a look, if there are enemy troops, they will not be allowed to approach!" ”

A few soldiers were sent down, and they came back in a moment to report: "They are all old and weak, women and children, and there are no enemy troops mixed in." ”

Liu Tang immediately ordered: "Let them come up!" ”

In a moment, hundreds of old and weak women and children bypassed the defensive wall, these people were the families of the Liangshan army living in the small town, and when they saw Liu Tang, they cried: "Everything is burned, they set fire everywhere to kill people, and the poor soldiers were cut off by them, it's so miserable!" ”

Liu Tang heard a clue and hurriedly asked, "Are the other parties all cavalry?" ”

"Yes! They were all soldiers on horseback, coming and going. ”

At this time, suddenly a soldier came running and reported: "The stone wall of the Western Front has been conquered by the enemy!" ”

This news surprised Liu Tang, the three roads up the mountain have built defensive stone walls, the three lines are almost synchronous, if one defensive line is breached, the other two lines must follow and retreat, otherwise the enemy is likely to kill from overhead.

Liu Tang realized that the problem was serious, and this was probably not the harassment of the enemy army, but the real attack on the mountain, and he hurriedly ordered: "Order all the brothers to withdraw to Ringing Arrow City immediately!" ”

Ringing Arrow City is a mountain city located on the mountainside, built against the mountain, it is the most important mountain city in Liangshan, but it is only built for defense, and has no other functions, it is actually an upgraded version of the three-line stone wall connected together.

The reason why Liu Tang gave up the several lines of defense at the foot of the mountain was because Liangshan's army was only 3,000 people, which was easy to be broken by each one, and it was also a last resort for him to concentrate his army on the defense of Xiangjian City.

If the Sound Arrow City is breached, hundreds of steps away are the core buildings of Liangshan, such as the military village, the Juyi Hall, and the warehouse, and Liangshan will be completely destroyed, Liu Tang is really worried in his heart.

A commander looked at the black and oppressed enemy troops below and said hatefully: "If Wang Yingken comes to the rescue, why is Liangshan so passive? ”

A sentence poked Liu Tang's sore spot, he asked Sucheng for help three days ago, but Sucheng County showed no sign of sending troops, and he didn't reply to explain, so he ignored himself at all.

This made Liu Tang hate it in his heart, how did he say it at the beginning? What does it mean to defend Liangshan at all costs, and is Song Jiang's promise like a fart?

"Pass my order and light the beacon fire in Liangshan!"

Liu Tang issued the most severe order of the situation and ignited the beacon fire of Liangshan, he didn't believe that Song Jiang would be shameless to this point?
