Before the first pass, Huang An didn't notice that there was anyone on the gate.

He Tao saw that there was no movement in the pass in front of him, so he stepped forward and said: "The thieves of Liangshan do not set up an ambush in the reeds, and now they do not guard the pass, I am afraid that there will be tricks." General Huang, be careful. ”

Huang An looked at the not very majestic wooden pass in front of him, I was afraid that a few axes would be able to split it, thought about it, and said: "The thieves think that they know that this pass can't be held, and they don't want to damage the people and horses, so they are all guarding the mountain, which also saves us a lot of effort." Shi Dutou, you take someone to Guanli to see if there are any thieves. ”

The head of the capital who was in the Huang'an point took the people with the shields to enter the customs carefully, and after checking around, they sent a signal for the team to go up the mountain immediately.

Huang An walked along the mountain road with the men and horses for a while, and another pass appeared in front of him, the same size as the first pass. It's just that when it is closed, there are many knives and guns, and the guards are very strict.

Huang An hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses to set up a formation to prevent the Liangshan men and horses from going out of the pass to raid.

Chao Gai and the others watched the Jeju officers and soldiers set up a position at the gate before shouting: "Who is under the mountain?" Dare to come to Liangshan to brush my tiger beard. ”

There is a public official in Yuncheng County: "The one who shouts is Chao Gai." ”

Huang An saw that the stones and rolling wood were well prepared, and he was also frightened by three points, and shouted: "I am Huang An, the commander of Jeju Capital, and today I will lead the troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits." Xiaoshi's exit and surrender only caught a group of people who robbed the Shengchengang on Huangnigang, and the rest were not to blame in the past. Otherwise, break the cottage, and the chickens and dogs will not stay. ”

Chao Gai saw that Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu had already defeated the remaining officers and soldiers and got the boats, and they all rowed to the south of the mountain, so he smiled and said: "I'm afraid that you will not come back today, so you can look at the boats under the mountain." ”

When the officers and men turned their heads to look, they found that the boats under the mountain were rowing to the south one by one, and they all immediately panicked.

He Tao hurriedly said: "It turns out that the thieves are trying to cut off our back road, General Huang, let's go down the mountain and grab the boat, otherwise we really can't go back." ”

"It's too late to rob now, the thieves have a big appetite, but I'm afraid that their teeth are not sharp enough, but they will break their mouths full of teeth."

Huang An thought for a while and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, the ship will be kept by the thieves first, and then we will go and get the ship back when we break the cottage." ”

The officers and men also knew that even if they went down the mountain now, the ships would have rowed far away, so under the reprimand of Huang An and officers at all levels, they had to slowly set up their formations and prepare to attack the pass. It's just that in the first round, they fell into Liangshan's strategy, and the officers and soldiers who were thinking about the reward before, but now they are thinking about how to go back safely.

Under the urging of Huang An, a row of shields covered three hundred archers and slowly approached the pass, preparing to suppress the bandits by the archers, and Huang An led people to forcibly rush through the pass. Huizong's time was not peaceful, and Taishi Cai Jing loved to whitewash the peace, and most of the twists and turns reported to thieves in various places were suppressed, and Huizong did not let them know, but just let all localities arrest themselves. Therefore, the control of weapons has been loosened, and it is common for people to carry knives and guns on the road, mostly to deal with road robbery. Despite this, Cao Mangjian was only equipped with some knives and guns, and the standard bows and arrows of the imperial court were still rarely lost, so Cao Mang in various places rarely dared to confront the imperial court officials and soldiers head-on.

Before he entered the archer shè cheng, he saw the rolling wood and stones coming down like drops, roaring down the mountain road towards the officers and soldiers.

How dare the shield bearer block the roaring wood and stones, and suddenly scattered, the stupid ones turned around and ran back, the clever ones dodged to both sides, and the archers did the same, and the formation was instantly chaotic.

How could two feet run over the tumbling stones, many people were smashed before they could run a few steps, and suddenly the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and streams of blood flowed down the mountain road.

Huang An only cared about dodging at this time, how could he take care of commanding the soldiers and horses.

Seeing this, Chao Gai gave an order, closed the door wide, and the leaders took the lead in killing it.

Most of the officers and soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty were van soldiers, and they only undertook various miscellaneous duties and did not conduct military training. Just after being discouraged by the rolling wood and stones, and there was no general organization, how could anyone dare to turn around and resist at this time, and after a while, he was driven to the golden beach by the people of Liangshan.

Defeated all the way, when Huang An wanted to command people to reflexively stabilize his position, he found that once he was defeated and retreated, it was really difficult to collect the rout, so he had to be coerced by the rout and fled down the mountain.

"Dog officer, where to go?"

Huang An fled to the golden beach, and before he could gain a stable foothold, he saw a fierce and vicious man who was covered in blood pounced with a knife, with red hair and a large cinnabar mark on his face, like a fierce ghost, and he was already timid before he could fight, and he was cut to the ground after only three or two rounds.

Liu Tang was caught by Lei Heng and the earth soldiers who were sleeping in the Lingguan Hall before, so he held back his anger. This time, you can kill officers and soldiers unscrupulously, and naturally kill xìng. I stared at Huang An, who was wearing armor, early in the morning, and I didn't know how many officers and soldiers I cut down along the way before I caught up with Huang An, but I didn't expect it to be so cowardly.

Chao Yong originally wanted to stay alive, but he didn't expect Liu Tang to rush all the way, but he couldn't catch up, and when he cut down a few officers and soldiers to catch up, Huang An had already been cut down by Liu Tang to the ground.

Chao Yong stood still to catch his breath, only to see all the leaders like wolves and tigers in the middle of the officers and soldiers, many panicked officers and soldiers ran into the water only to find that they could not water, shouting for help, it was a completely one-sided situation, not for a moment, only afraid that the officers and soldiers would be killed, one of them was left, and hurriedly shouted: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed." ”

The officers and soldiers had long lost the courage to resist, but they didn't dare to throw their weapons when they saw that the Liangshan people and horses around them were killing badly, for fear that the Liangshan people would not accept the surrender. Hearing Chao Yong's shouting, as if he had obtained a talisman, he threw away his weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.

"It's really soft, grandpa hasn't killed it yet, Ping rì is so bad at deceiving the people, and when he fights, he will become a soft-footed shrimp."

Liu Tang didn't seem to have a good time, kicked the officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground, and cursed.

The officers and soldiers looked at Liu Tang, who was still unsatisfied, and no one dared to speak out.

After the battlefield was cleared on the golden beach, Ruan Xiaoqi also returned from Shijie Village, captured more than a dozen people alive, and captured more than 30 war horses.

The cottage on the leaders is rewarded for meritorious deeds, but it is Liu Tang's first merit in killing Huang An, and the rest of the leaders also have merit. Because the officers and soldiers were defeated all the way, and there was a leader who rushed into battle first, the Liangshan men and horses suffered few casualties, and there were many people who were injured on the battlefield.

Liu Tang got the first credit, and couldn't help but say happily: "These officers and soldiers, even if there are 10,000 more, our brothers can kill them." ”

Lin Chong used to be the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, so he naturally knew how big the gap between this army and the forbidden army was, and reminded: "Don't underestimate the enemy, it's only the local soldiers who are attacking today, and there is a lack of training. ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Today's saints are unknown, and the military generals only know how to fight for power and profit, in order to prevent the generals from becoming bigger, Cai Jing blindly whitewashes the peace." According to Xiaosheng, Cai Jing will only order local arrests, and most of them will not make a big move. The worst case is to transfer the Qingzhou forbidden army to attack, and now the ground in Qingzhou is not calm, and the Qingzhou forbidden army can't draw many soldiers and horses, so they are not afraid. ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "What the military advisor said is that the Qingzhou forbidden army is coming to attack, and there are all the brothers here, and the soldiers will be able to block the water and cover the earth." Today, the flag is victorious, and it should be celebrated, but I can't help but feel sad when I think that the Bai Sheng brothers are still in prison at this time. Let's see if we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, take down Jeju Mansion, and rescue the Baeksung brothers. ”

Liu Tang shook his head and said: "Bai Sheng betrayed his brother, and my brother wants him to do nothing." ”

"If it weren't for Brother Yong'er's reminder, I'm afraid we would have been arrested by the government in a daze, and now my brother asked everyone to fight the city with their heads to save him, but I'm afraid that the brothers are unwilling to contribute." Wu Yong said and glanced at Ruan Xiaoer.

Ruan Xiaoer said knowingly: "What the military advisor said is that to rescue Bai Sheng, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, those who betray their brothers will also have their hands and feet broken, so why bother to let their brothers take risks." ”

Chao Gai shook his head and said: "I took him to do this at the beginning, and now I should rescue him, there are brothers who don't want to go, Chao Gai has nothing to say, so I ask the brothers who don't want to go to stay in the cottage, and the others go with me to fight Jeju City." ”

Chao Gai is famous and shocking the rivers and lakes, in addition to fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, it is righteous and angry. Everyone is willing to follow Chao Gai, and it is precisely this that they like. At this time, seeing that Chao Gai insisted on going, they all said that they were willing to go together.

Chao Yong remembered Bai Sheng's method of getting out of trouble in the Water Margin, and said: "The city of Jeju is strong, and the cottage soldiers and horses are not familiar with it, if they are forcibly attacked, I am afraid that there will be great casualties." It's better to spend money on the upper and lower prisons, as long as the guards are more relaxed, and Bai Sheng is clever, he will be able to escape. If Bai Sheng can't escape, it's not too late for us to raise troops to fight Jeju. ”

Wu Yong nodded and said: "What Brother Yong'er said is that there is no one who is not greedy for money now, and this matter will be handed over to Xiaosheng, and he will definitely be able to do it." ”

Chao Gai saw that there was a way to save Bai Sheng, so he also nodded and said: "Then there is a labor division, and the rest of the brothers must work hard to train soldiers and horses to prevent officers and soldiers from attacking." ”

All the leaders responded in unison, and their respective cāo training troops and horses did not mention.

(The Northern Song Dynasty was mostly based on the command unit, with a command of 500 people, and its commanders were commanders and deputy commanders.) One commands five capitals, one capital has 100 people, the commander of the army is the military envoy and the deputy soldier and horse envoy, the infantry is the head of the capital and the deputy head of the capital, under the deputy soldier and horse envoy and the deputy capital head, there are also military heads, ten generals, generals Yu Hou, Cheng Bureau and detention officials and other officials. The leader of the fast catch is also called the head of the capital)
