After seeing Suo Chao captured, there were even more officers and soldiers in the Daimyo Mansion, and it soon turned into a rout of the whole army.

Chao Yong did not let the Liangshan soldiers and horses take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, because their task was only to intercept the pursuers and let the brigade escorting money and grain in front advance safely.

Suo Chao couldn't help frowning when he saw that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan had gathered again, and Li Cheng's army had not yet arrived.

If Li Cheng had led the army to kill from the flanks during the battle just now, it would have been very likely that he would have completely annihilated this group of bandits, or he would have been able to defeat them before the Liangshan bandits gathered again.

Suo Chao only blamed Li Cheng for leading the troops too slowly, but he didn't know that he was the pioneer who advanced too fast.

Chao Yong led the troops for a few miles, and when he saw the dust and smoke rising from the east, he hurriedly asked Tanma to take a look.

Suo Chao was stunned when he saw that it was the dust and smoke in the east, and Li Cheng was leading the troops to come, and it should also be in the west.

Soon, Tanma flew in to report: "Report, look at the flag is Lingzhou Soldiers and Horses." ”

It turned out that Lingzhou also received a letter of help from Gao Lian, but Lingzhou and Liangshan were separated by Dongping Mansion and Qizhou, so they were not afraid that Liangshan would attack him.

In order to tie up with Gao Yu, the governor of Lingzhou immediately recruited two regimental training envoys in the state, Shan Tinggui, the general of Shengshui, and Wei Dingguo, the general of Shenhuo, and asked them to order a thousand soldiers and horses to save Gaotang Prefecture.

Lingzhou is located on the Yellow River Henglong old road, although the Yellow River was diverted to the north again, but in order to hinder the Liao State Iron Cavalry south, or excavated a river, so there are two regimental training envoys, one is responsible for road defense, and the other is responsible for blocking along the river.

Shan Tinggui made good use of the method of flooding the army. Everyone is called "General Holy Water", Wei Dingguo is proficient in the method of fire attack, and uses special firearms to take people in battle, so he is called "General Shenhuo".

Shan Tinggui made good use of the method of breaking the water and immersing the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under his command were naturally familiar with water and could also drive boats.

The two got the general order, and the holy water general Shan Tinggui mobilized the warships in the camp and carried the soldiers and horses upstream.

When they arrived in Gaotang Prefecture, they learned that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan had plundered the money and grain and retreated, and the two of them combined. and chased after him.

I just met the rout of the Daimyo's Mansion, and I heard that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan had been fighting for a while, so I caught up and wanted to pick a bargain.

Yang Zhi looked at the many wounded soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but say: "Although our army won for a while, there are also many soldiers who are injured, and it is not appropriate to fight again at this time." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "There are no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Lingzhou, I'm afraid he will do something." ”

Wu Song also said: "The general we received the order is to cut off the army, if we are chased by the pursuing soldiers to catch up with the army in front, won't we eat the jokes of the brothers." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "If it's just one place in Lingzhou, you can fight again." However, I am afraid that the army of the Daimyo Mansion is not far from here, and if we are dragged down, I am afraid that we will fall into a heavy siege. ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Do you dare to play a big game with me?" ”

Lu Zhishen heard this. couldn't help laughing and said: "What does Brother Yong want to do, the Sprinkle family will accompany him." ”

Wu Song also said: "Brother Yong will do what he says." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "I want to use our broken soldiers and horses as bait to stop the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou and the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion, and wait for the fight." The army in front came from the flanks and routed all the pursuers in one fell swoop. ”

Yang Zhi frowned and said, "I have already interrogated some prisoners just now, and there are a total of 10,000 reinforcements from the Daimyo's Mansion. Suo Chao's department is only 3,000 people, and Li Cheng personally leads 7,000 soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that we will not be able to wait for the army in front to return to help. ”

Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Brother Yang Zhi has not gone through the war, and the matter of this battlefield cannot be just by looking at the numbers. When the Sprinkle family fought against Western Xia, they also made a few baits, that is, 10,000 people wanted to encircle and annihilate 1,000 people, and it was impossible to annihilate them all without a single hour. We are only twenty miles away from the army, and as long as we support it for half an hour, the army will be able to fight back. ”

Yang Zhi was born in martial arts, and he really never went to the battlefield, so when he saw Lu Zhishen say this, he didn't say more.

Chao Yong saw that everyone had no objections, and said: "Listen to my general's order, Yang Zhi led the wounded soldiers to Suo Chao to chase after the army, and at the same time asked the army to come back to help, and the rest of the people lined up with me to prepare for the battle." ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately said: "Brother Yong asked a centurion to escort the prisoners away with wounded soldiers, the big war is about to start, how can Yang Zhi leave his brothers and go alone." ”

Chao Yong saw Yang Zhi say this, so he also sent a centurion to lead the wounded soldiers to chase the army in front, and at the same time asked the horse to report the news.

In the battle just now, although the strength of the two sides was equal, the Liangshan soldiers and horses were led by a few wolf-like leaders, but there were not many casualties in the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion, and some soldiers and horses were sent to escort the prisoners away, and there were still 2,000 soldiers and horses when they lined up again.

As soon as Chao Yong commanded the army to set up a formation, he saw that Lingzhou's soldiers and horses had also arrived.

The first two generals, one of them wore a four-sided iron hat with muddy iron, and sprinkled a bucket with black tassels on the top; Wear a bear skin to build a black oil armor along the edge, and wear a collar of soap embroidery on the bald sleeves of the green group; a pair of slanted leather kick stirrup inlaid cloud heel boots; Tie a blue nail and stack the lion belt; a pot of arrows; Ride a deep black horse and make a black pole gun; In front, a handful of troops were led to press the flag of the northern poison county, and seven silver characters were written on it: "Shan Tinggui, the general of holy water"

Another general, wearing a red and inlaid gold hair helmet, and two sweeps of long and short red tassels; Wear a pair of armor that swallows beasts; wears a collared embroidered cloud flying monster robe, and a pair of jade cloud sewn brocade heel boots between the thorny unicorns; Bring a carved bow with a goldfinch painting; Hang a phoenix to chisel the mountain wolf's tooth arrow, and ride a rouge horse; Hand make a cooked steel knife; In front, a guide army was pressed by the red embroidered flag of the south, and seven silver characters were written on it, "Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo." ”

The 500 soldiers and horses on Shan Tinggui's side are all in black clothes and black armor, and the 500 soldiers and horses on Wei Dingguo's side are all in red clothes and red armor, and the sergeants each have an iron gourd tied to their backs, which contains sulfur, flame salt, and five-colored cigarettes, and dozens of cars are faintly visible behind the battle.

The two armies faced each other, and Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo went out together, shouting: "The heavenly soldiers are here, and they don't get off their horses and be bound, but when?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "We have seen a lot of heavenly soldiers, but they are all tied up by us. ”

When Liangshan soldiers and horses heard Chao Yong say this, they couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of Liangshan's previous invincible record, morale was also high.

Shan Tinggui saw Chao Yong making fun of him like this, and couldn't help screaming angrily, so he patted the horse to make Chao Yong.

Yang Zhi had known each other with the generals of the Daimyo Mansion before, and he was embarrassed to fight, but when he saw Shan Tinggui snatching it, he also raised the steel gun in his hand to greet him.

Yang Zhibu used the Yang family knife method, and immediately made it the Yang family gun.

The two of them fought gun-to-gun in one place, although it was not as powerful as the fight between Qin Ming and Suo Chao, but it was even more thrilling.

In the blink of an eye, it was already thirty fights, Shan Tinggui forced Yang Zhi away, turned his horse and chased after him.

Yang Zhi was about to make a meritorious service, so he immediately chased after him.

Chao Yong's eyesight was good, and when he saw that the soldiers and horses in front of Shan Tinggui's formation suddenly unhooked the hook and noose from their waists, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop chasing." (To be continued.) )
