Chapter 320: The Battle Ahead Is Not Good (Thank You)
Just after noon, the sweat had soaked through the clothes inside Zheng Zhi's iron armor, and thousands of soldiers hid in the shade with Zheng Zhi and began to eat lunch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Zhi was a little anxious, and stood up from time to time to look at the front of the trail, hoping to see the figure of the scout at the end of the trail. A morning march, although the speed is not fast, Liangshan Dazhai is not far away, within an hour in the afternoon will inevitably reach the foot of Dazhai, Song Jiang Wu Yong is not a good person, has not seen a Liangshan people. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
On the other side of Dongshan Road, thousands of soldiers under Peng Qi's command were also burying pots and making rice. After the meal, I went to Liangshan, where I was full at this time, and I also had the strength to fight later.
Peng Qi was even more proud, and he also knew that he had expected the ability of this Liangshan person, and he could live this mountain trail so easily, and he knew that these Liangshan thieves were not enough.
The soldiers respectfully delivered the food to Peng Qi, Peng Qi took the food, opened his mouth and smiled with the generals on the left and right: "If the thieves in Liangshan have some courage, how can we get here so easily?" A thief is a thief after all. β
A military general was full of thoughts, and said with a smile: "The general has won the attention of the captain this time, and he will inevitably be promoted, if the general is in Tokyo, he can't forget his brothers!" β
"Rest assured... Put... Peng Qi said half of it.
In an instant, the mountains and forests were all waving flags and shouting, and countless sword soldiers rushed down reflecting the scorching sun.
The food in Peng Qi's hand immediately fell to the ground, and he quickly stood up, pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Meet the enemy, meet the enemy!" β
Countless soldiers picked up their weapons to meet the enemy left and right, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows, although the arrows were not very accurate, but they covered the sky and the sun, and they shot down in an instant.
Even Peng Qi retreated again and again to hide under a tree.
When the arrows rained down and the audience wailed. A member of the Iron Armor Ying Wuzi rushed out of the mountains and forests, shouting: "Where is the Pengqi dog thief?" Don't be that shrunken turtle, come out and fight grandpa for a few rounds! β
This man has a strong bow in his hand, and he shoots angrily with arrows, and every arrow has a person to the end. It is Xiao Li Guanghuarong.
Look at the men who rushed out with Hua Rong, where is the clothes that Peng Qi thought, all of them have armor, although the armor looks a little weird, and the workmanship is rough, but it also looks a lot of elite.
The scene was full of shouts and kills, the sky and the earth were shaking, and the sides of the mountain road were crowded with people, there were so many people and horses, where could they be counted.
Where is Peng Qi still calm at this time, left and right a few times, and finally walked towards Hua Rong with a knife, the two of them were only thirty or forty steps apart, where could they not hear Hua Rong shouting like this. Even Peng Qi also knew that Hua Rong was the enemy general, and the battle situation was like this, so he could only have a chance of winning by killing Hua Rong first.
"Peng Qi is here, which thief is yelling!"
Hua Rong is good at making bows, but the gun and stick kung fu under his hands are not bad, and he went straight to Peng Qi not far away.
As soon as the two fought, Peng Qi would be the opponent, but after a few rounds, he retreated again and again.
The soldiers of Liangshan are also really brave, obviously it is Song Jiang's drills in the past few months that have played a big role, and they have broken the morale of Gaotang Prefecture.
At this time, there were 8,000 men and horses in Liangshan, and there were many people, and there were unprepared to attack it under ambush. The tide of battle quickly turned to one side.
A moment later, the soldiers under Peng Qi's command were already resisting a minority, and more were fleeing for the road. The fighting between the two sides was mostly surrounded and intercepted by Liangshan's soldiers.
Hua Rong and Peng Qi fought for more than ten rounds, and Peng Qi was swept to the ground by Hua Rong's spear. Originally, this battle was also Hua Rong against Peng Qi, and Peng Qi couldn't even take Hua Rong's twenty moves.
Peng Qi fell to the ground, where could Hua Rong let go, the spear flew out, and he was about to assassinate Peng Qi on the ground.
Peng Qi on the ground was smashed to pieces, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Hua Rong's spear stabbing him, where was there room to dodge, and hurriedly shouted: "A good man spares his life!" β
Under a word, this Hua Rong really stopped his hands and feet, stood in front of Peng Qi, waved his gun and smashed it again, and opened his mouth to order left and right: "Tie this guy up." β
Looking at the battle situation again, the momentum of Liangshan is already unstoppable, and many officers and soldiers all over the mountains have escaped, but the casualties are even more serious, and many people surrender directly on their knees.
Peng Qi's soldiers are too far behind the Liangshan soldiers. Liangshan men, most of them are also veterans who have seen the battle formation at this time, how can Peng Qi's command compare.
Towards evening, the routs continued to flee back to the camp. Hu Yanzhuo was shocked when he saw it, asked a few times, and hurriedly went to the big tent.
In the big tent, Gao Yu and Cao Zheng talked for more than two hours, but they still didn't have fun.
Hu Yanzhuo didn't care about these things at this time, ran directly into the big tent, and said, "Captain, the battle ahead is not good. β
Cao Zheng saw someone coming in, so he quickly got up and turned his back, just because he didn't want to be seen clearly by the people who came.
Gao Yu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Captain Yu, Peng Qi was ambushed by Liangshan, the army was defeated and captured, thousands of soldiers were defeated, hundreds of remnants fled back, and none of the generals and military attachΓ©s came back." Hu Yanzhuo replied.
"How can this be reasonable, why is this Peng Qi so unbearable, he is still boasting in front of his head, why did he lose to such a point in one day?" Gao Yu was furious, and he still had this Peng Qi's determined face before he set off, where did he think that it would become such a situation in just one day.
Hu Yanzhuo stood on the spot, naturally he couldn't accept Gao Yu's words, and he also blamed himself in his heart, after all, Peng Qi was recommended by himself, and he was defeated so quickly and so completely, where did he, the person who recommended him, dare to say more.
Gao Yu asked angrily again: "How is Zheng Zhi?" β
"Captain Yu, there is no news from Zheng Zhi's side, and he should be under the Liangshan Thief Village at this time." Hu Yanzhuo replied.
Gao Yu heard Hu Yanzhuo say that Zheng Zhi was fine, and he was even more angry in his heart for no reason, as if the victory or defeat of this battle was not as important as Zheng Zhi's life alone, so he only said: "Why was Peng Qi ambushed, but Zheng Zhi didn't have anything to do?" β
Hu Yanzhuo was speechless when he asked this, Zheng Zhi was safe and sound, and it was a good thing in Hu Yanzhuo's opinion, but he didn't understand why Gao Yu asked such a question.
Cao Zheng, who was facing away from Hu Yanzhuo, heard Gao Yu's question, and couldn't help but speak: "Taiwei, Zheng Zhi has secretly let go of the Liangshan thieves in Cangzhou three times and five times, and this time General Peng was defeated, there must be fraud in it, and Zheng Zhi must not be able to get rid of it." Perhaps it was this Zheng Zhi and the Liangshan thieves who should cooperate with each other to make General Peng have such a defeat. β
Hu Yanzhuo was in a hurry, and didn't pay much attention to the person who was facing away from him, and when he heard this person's words, he was shocked. Where can I figure out the logic in this person's words, how could this Zheng Xianggong make peace with the big thief and defeat the official army?
Gao Yu was angry, but he heard Cao Zheng's reminder, and said: "It must be so, Zheng Zhigou is so daring, he dares to be so mad, hum... β
Gao Yu sneered, and Hu Yanzhuo also felt cold. Among them, the joints can't be seen clearly, but they can feel that this battle is no longer as simple as marching and fighting to suppress thieves, and in the heart of this Gao Taiwei, it is more important to be overturned by officialdom. Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo's heart couldn't help but feel a little colder.
Zheng Zhi was already on the way back to the camp at this time, although he arrived at the foot of Deliang Mountain and saw the high wall, but it was a small road, and without equipment, it was impossible to storm it. Even if there is equipment, Zheng Zhi doesn't want to attack.
Evening sunset, and afterglow.
Zheng Zhi led the troops back to the camp, but he still saw a lot of broken and remnant soldiers, and he also had conjectures in his heart, so he went straight to the big tent.
Cao Zheng had already left, Hu Yanzhuo was sitting on the side of the big tent, and Gao Yu was also speechless.
Zheng Zhi came in, didn't talk to Gao Yu, and asked, "General Huyan, where is Peng Qi?" But encountered a thief? β
Hu Yanzhuo glanced at the cold-faced Gao Yu, turned back to Zheng Zhi and said: "Zheng Xianggong, Peng Qi encountered an ambush by tens of thousands of thieves and was captured by thieves. β
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he sneered: "Hmph... Zhao Kuo's generation even played a pioneer. General Huyan is such a good general, but there is no such thing, ridiculous! β
Gao Yu didn't know that Zheng Zhi was talking about himself, and said: "If this battle is lost, it is better for the company to explain to the officials, that is, some people, I am afraid that some people will suffer a lot." β
Gao Yu obviously knew that there was no need to verbally confront Zheng Zhi anymore, and it was difficult to handle this Zheng Zhi at this time, but he also held back a wave of anger in his heart, just waiting for himself to collect evidence and report to Tokyo. After being confident, he can calm down a lot, even if he sees Zheng Zhi arrogant in front of him, he only sees it as a joke.
Cao Zheng reported in detail that some things are difficult to verify, and some things are easy to get by hand if they want evidence. For example, Zheng Zhi led his troops out of Cangzhou to Dulonggang, for example, Zheng Zhi also commanded two thousand mountain and forest thieves to fight, such as Zheng Zhi privately beheaded the two heads of Yanshan. The witness is even simpler, that is, the original Yanshan Governor, as long as Gao Yu writes a letter, he will definitely be able to testify in Tokyo.
"Gao Taiwei is in a high position, so he naturally doesn't have to do anything, but it is this Shandong thief who is wreaking havoc in the state capital, and Taiwei does not solve problems for the official family, and does not make decisions for the people of Limin, so it turns out that he is really the pillar of the court. Tong Guan, when the truth is far away. Zheng Zhi's words are also unforgiving, and he has been thinking about it for a long time along the way, how to kill Gao Yu?
Hua Rong is the focus.
Hu Yanzhuo didn't want to see such a situation, Gao Yu and Zheng Zhi clashed words, Hu Yanzhuo was silent, at this time, the war had begun, Hu Yanzhuo wanted to win in his heart, and he didn't want to return to his hometown so aggrieved, so he had to step forward and say: "Captain Gao, Zheng Xianggong, now that the war has started, how can you say defeat first." For today's plan, the army will be dispatched tomorrow to the bandit village of Deliangshan, transport all the ordnance over, and forcibly attack it, so as to win. I don't know what the two superiors think. β
Zheng Zhi naturally knows this truth, Liangshan has food near the water, and it is useless to surround it for a long time. If you want to break through Liangshan, one is to build a ship, and the other is to storm from the waterway. But this strong attack is also a strategy, at the foot of the mountains and forests, the formation cannot be placed at all, and the ordnance cannot be placed, and the strong attack is really helpless.
"General Huyan, this battle is difficult to overcome, and it is feasible to build a ship!" Zheng Zhi's words were concise and he didn't bother to explain.
"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how dare they talk nonsense about the difficulties of the official family and the people of Li, attack them tomorrow, and overcome them in one battle!" Gao Yu listened to Hu Yanzhuo's words, and obviously didn't want to agree with Zheng Zhi's words, and Gao Yu didn't understand the battle formation.
Hu Yanzhuo actually knew the difficulties of this battle, and he had no choice but to say this, and he didn't want to quit the army like this. After nodding with Gao Yu, he said, "The last general will retire first and prepare for tomorrow's assault." β
Hu Yanzhuo retired early, naturally because he didn't want to see the two Shangguan verbal confrontations.
Zheng Zhi heard this, turned his head and went out of the big tent first.
Tonight in Liangshan, the wine banquet continued, Hua Rong returned with a big victory, and also caught the Tianmu general Peng Qi, Song Jiang's face was more bright, at this time Liangshan, morale has reached its peak.
Look at Peng Qi again, kneeling in front of the Juyi Hall.
Song Jiang personally untied him, and the good wine was served, without waiting for Song Jiang to say more.
Peng Qi scolded Zheng Zhi a few words, immediately fell to the ground, and joined Liangshan.
