Chapter 3: Running thunder and arrows to defeat thousands of armies, and counter-planning to capture three generals
On the high platform, all the leaders were confused, and Huang Wenbingqi said: "Congreve rocket? Which god is Congreve? Sanniang smiled: "It's a little fairy who doesn't enter the stream, because he made a mistake, he was sent to the West, don't mention it." Now I've renamed it Benlei Rocket. Gongsun Sheng asked, "Lord, how did you make such a powerful artifact?" Beware of leakage of secrets. ”
Sanniang said secretly: "How can I not be guarded? Each part of the Benlei rocket is made separately, and Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, and Chai Jin are each responsible for only one part. In addition, the most important thing is the formula of the inner push gunpowder and explosive gunpowder, the formula ratio is only known to a few of my henchmen, and a few henchmen do not know where the gunpowder prepared by themselves is used in the end, and the assembly is led by my brother. How to launch accurately and only taught Ling Zhen, how could this rocket leak? But he said lightly: "What Mr. Gongsun mentioned is that I should pay attention to it." ”
After seeing the collapse of the officers and troops, Sanniang instructed: "If the expectations are not bad, Peng Xi and Hao Siwen's counter-plan will be completed, and after a while, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and others will definitely come to attack here, and everyone will follow the decision and prepare separately." "All the leaders bowed down to receive the order.
Zhang Shun suddenly came out and said, "Lord, my brother is still trapped in the Guan Sheng camp, please allow your subordinates to lead someone to save him." Sanniang sighed and said: "Zhang Heng didn't listen to my orders, sent troops without authorization, and has been detained in the Guan Sheng army for three days, and has suffered hardships, so you will take the headquarters of the navy to the left side of the Guansheng camp to ambush, and after seeing the defeat of the official army, take advantage of the chaos to rob people." Zhang Shun thanked him and left.
However, it was said that Chen Xizhen, Zhang Muyun, the remnants of the Chinese army, Hu Yanzhuo, and Guan Sheng's left and right wings were defeated and retreated. Peng Xi and Hao Siwen led the army to catch it, and then joined forces. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were blown to pieces by a rocket. When he fled, he was driven and killed by 2,000 Liangshan horse troops, and the men and horses trampled on each other. Only a few thousand people fled back, and none of the 5,000 heavily armored infantry troops escaped.
Chen Xizhen and Zhang Muyun were burned by the flames, and Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng first ordered the military horses to escort them back to Jeju Mansion to recuperate. After sending the two away, Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng were full of shame, and came to Hao Siwen and Peng Xi, and they all gave up their hands to make amends, and they both said: "Regret not listening to the good words of the virtuous brother, so there will be this big defeat"
Peng Xi and Hao Siwen hurriedly supported them, and Peng Xi said, "Two generals." This is not the time to speak, our army has suffered a crushing defeat, and the court has blamed it, and the responsibility is not light. If you want to turn defeat into victory, you have to listen to me and Brother Hao, and select soldiers and horses to go to the high platform a few miles away to capture the demon girl. If this woman can be caught, the dragons of Liangshan will have no leader, so they can break the enemy. can be slightly offset by the sin of defeat. Hao Siwen also said: "Exactly, this demon girl is rarely left alone, and now she thinks that she has won a big victory over the official army, and she must be proud." How will they guard against our attack here? ”
Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng said: "I didn't listen to the words of the two brothers before, so I lost the army, and now if I can lead the army with the two brothers." Only when the demon girl is captured can he turn defeat into victory. Guan Sheng's doubts were gone. He said, "In this way, we will wait to pick up the military health here and rush together." At the moment, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Han Tao, Peng Xi, and Hao Siwen selected thousands of soldiers and horses who were not injured, and a total of more than 3,000 people. He took all his military horses and followed Peng Xi and Hao Siwen to attack, and the remaining 3,000 or so returned to the camp with wounded officers and soldiers on their own.
At this time, it was noon, six people led the army, turned the water and reeds, and went straight to the high ground, when they looked closely, they saw that there was a high platform erected on the high ground, and under the golden umbrella cover, Hu Sanniang was dressed in white and fluttering, standing on the high platform.
Guan Sheng scolded: "What a cunning woman, she sent her White Lotus banner over there to order, but she was hiding here. This morning, just because I saw her banner and said that she was in the army, I rushed over desperately, and the military horses were crowded in one place, and I was poisoned by her thunder weapon! When we can hold her, we will avenge our army. Hu Yanzhuo and others all said yes.
But it was said that Sanniang had already received a report from Haidongqing, and an official army had arrived, standing in front of the high platform and seeing the high ground, the officers and soldiers turned the mountain path, and laughed loudly: "General Huyan, General Guan, I have been waiting here for a long time!" ”
Before the words fell, the three horns sounded, and the ambush troops on the left and right sides were exhausted among the barren grass, and the arrows rained down, and all around were hookers who came to catch people. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng were shocked, knowing the plan, they hurriedly returned to the horse, and heard the drums and gongs on the mountains on all sides. When he looked at the chaotic army, Peng Xi and Hao Siwen were missing. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng were both furious, and Guan Sheng scolded: "The two thieves are still the demon girl's counter-plot!" The cunning demon girl expected us to refuse to believe the two at first, but if we heard the truth, we didn't believe it. Now that he is defeated, he believes his words, and then he falls for the trick of the demon girl! ”
Hu Yanzhuo also scolded a few words and said: "General Guan, if you don't do it, let's go first!" At the moment, Hu Yanzhuo led Han Tao, Guan Sheng led Xuanzan, and each rode his horse to follow the horse-seeking army in all directions, and ran away. At this time, I saw that on those roads, the banner of Liangshan Bo and the green and white lotus was erected like a forest, and they did not dare to go on those roads, Guan Sheng and Xuanzan kept looking to the northwest, but Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao went to the southwest.
Guan Sheng and Xuanzan were two, they couldn't go to Lixu Road, and they had already embraced a team of strongmen, and two heroes blocked the way: one was not blocking Mu Hong, and the other was blocking Mu Chun. Guan Sheng was angry, danced the Qinglong knife, and took Mu Hong and Mu Chun directly on the horse. After a little fighting, Mu Chun left. Guan Sheng was only afraid of falling into the plan, so he didn't come to catch up, and looked at the north road.
Before he had walked more than ten steps, a team of strongmen turned out from the bottom of the hillside, and two heroes blocked the way: one was Sairengui Guo Sheng, and the other was Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang. Each stood up and drew halberds and went straight to come. Guan Sheng and Xuanzan each raised weapons and fought two. After fighting less than five or seven times, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng pulled their horses and left.
Guan Sheng and Xuanzan couldn't catch up for more than half a mile, and when they looked back, the soldiers and horses following behind them were only a few people, so at this time, twenty-four hooks were drilled out on both sides, and they rolled up to the ground. Xuanzan was caught off guard, and was hooked off his horse, and the left and right ambush troops stepped forward to catch him. Guan Sheng saw that when he was about to be saved, dozens of hooks around the left and right came again, Guan Sheng had no intention of fighting, turned the horse's head, and looked at the northeast road and left.
After going to Xu again, he saw Peng Xi and Hao Siwen leading hundreds of troops and horses to block the road, Guan Sheng was furious when he saw it, and shouted with a knife: "You two thieves who rebelled against the court and betrayed their brothers, do you still have the face to meet?" ”
Peng Xi and Hao Siwen sang on the horse: "General Guan is angry, the master of the village is the destiny of the stars, and I am only complying with the destiny of the stars." It is also a last resort. Now that the general is gone, why not get off the horse and go to see the lord of the village? ”
Guan Sheng shouted angrily: "It's nonsense, I want to surrender to the thief, but it's a don't think!" Two Hugh go, eat me a knife! At that moment, he came with a horse and a knife, but he didn't want to be more than ten steps away, so he set up more than ten tripping ropes on the road and tripped Guan Sheng's mount. Guan Sheng fell off the horse, and both sides went around the hook hand together, and tied Guan Sheng, grabbed the knife and horse, took off the armor, pushed forward and back, and threw it into the village.
However, it was said that Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao fled to the south road, but to the south was a group of swamp reeds, and the two led the army to find the way, but when they saw that the path was uneven, there were swamp reeds everywhere, so when they were in a panic, they only heard a shout of killing, and in the surrounding reeds, Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng led the water army to kill, and the left and right were ambushed and killed.
Hu Yanzhuo's crotch is the black horse given by the emperor, very majestic, even in the swamp mud can run, so he patted the horse and danced the whip, killed a road, and rushed straight over. When he was about to get out of the encirclement and look back, he saw that Han Tao was caught by more than ten hooks behind him, dragged him sideways, and saw that he was also captured.
When Hu Yanzhuo wanted to save him, he saw the sound of killing behind him, and Li Yinglai, the sky-fighting eagle, came out in front of him. The officers and soldiers in this battle were defeated and lost, and the rain was scattered. There is a poem as evidence: the soldiers of the Three Routes came to the ground, and the black horse kicked the snow and looked back at the wind. The heavy armor was all broken by the rocket, and the remaining double whips were nine walls.
The words are divided into two ends. Let's say that after Song Jiang signed the pleadings of the gambling competition, he discussed with Wu Yong, and he still counted them repeatedly, and he couldn't figure out what tactics Hu Sanniang had, and he could break 30,000 officers and troops with 3,000 troops and horses. After discussing for a long time, Wu Yong smiled and said: "Brother, in fact, I don't have to bother myself, just wait to see how she can break the enemy after three days." Song Jiang sighed and said: "This woman is a hundred times scheming, how to use soldiers, I can't get the gist after many inquiries, fight with her, and be restrained everywhere, I'm afraid that this trip will lose." ”
Wu Yong said: "Brother is relieved, if she really loses, if she wants to unload her brother's errand and take away her brother's authority, we can't sit still." I think it is better to contact Jeju Uncle Zhang at night, and make an appointment that if the officials and soldiers can forgive me and others for their sins, sooner or later they will gather our confidants and lead a group of people down the mountain to surrender the officers and soldiers. ”
Song Jiang thought for a while and said: "This is the next policy, if you are forced to do so, you can't use it lightly." If I don't have Liangshan here to rely on, how can the imperial court be willing to reuse us? Wu Yong was silent for a long time.
So the two of them were worried about three days, and on the third day, the two sent people to inquire early in the morning, and after hearing that the owner of the village had picked up three thousand military horses and went out of battle in the morning, Song Jiang was shocked when he heard this: "Did you really go to three thousand people?" At that moment, the two hurriedly came to the front of the duckbill beach village to look at the enemy, and went upstairs to see.
When he was young, Hua Rong, Li Kui and others also came to look at the enemy's upstairs to watch Hu Sanniang's soldiers. When he saw Ling Zhen's more than 20 cannons firing scatteredly, Song Jiang smiled and said nothing, but Wu Yong smiled dumbly and said: "Our village master has no knowledge, he must have been deceived by this official general, thinking how powerful his thunder can be, so he wants to use artillery to break the enemy, which is really ridiculous." Hua Rong, Li Kui and others did not laugh, but their faces were full of sadness.
When he saw that the officials and troops gathered to kill him, and the three thousand military horses retreated to the reeds, Wu Yong twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The master of the village is defeated, it's really ridiculous that this woman has no knowledge." Li Kui frowned and said unhappily: "The military advisor said so, and they are all our Liangshan military horses." Before he could say anything, he saw a dense layer of fire rain meteors rising into the sky in the reeds, and Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others were dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
