After Xuanzan received the order, he came to ask Guan Sheng overnight.

When Guan Sheng heard that he had such an opportunity, he thought that he had no way to serve the country like his righteous brother Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen, so he invited him to come to Tokyo with him.

When the three of them arrived in Tokyo, they went straight to Liang Shicheng's mansion.

Liang Shicheng was practicing calligraphy in the house, and when he heard that Guan Sheng was coming, he asked people to bring him in.

When the three of them entered the mansion, they saw Liang Shicheng writing there, and they didn't dare to say much, so they stood there obediently and waited.

After Liang Shicheng finished writing the book, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up, only to see a person in the middle who was eight feet five or six tall, with three thin willow mustaches, two eyebrows and sideburns, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a face like a heavy jujube.

No need to ask, the person in the middle is Guan Sheng, and he really looks like Guan Yu of his ancestor.

The three of them saw Liang Shicheng put down his pen and hurriedly saluted.

Liang Shicheng is also a talent, and when he saw Guan Sheng's extraordinary appearance, he was very fond of it, and asked: "How young is the general?" ”

Guan Sheng also knew Liang Shicheng's authority from Xuanzan's mouth, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The young general has two out of thirty." ”

Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "It's the age of standing, but it's subservient. If you exterminate the Liangshan Caokou this time, I will guarantee you to be a seven-rank general, and it will not be difficult to restore the glory of your ancestors after making more contributions. ”

The grade of the military attache in the Northern Song Dynasty is much lower than that of the civil official, that is, Gao Yu, the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, is only from the second grade, and the two chiefs of the horse and infantry army say that the captain is actually a little, they are just the commanders of the five grades, and the commander is also the seventh grade.

Xuanzan is only from the eighth grade, and when he hears that Guan Sheng can become the seventh grade when he returns from victory, he is also envious.

When Guan Sheng heard this, he hurriedly thanked Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng said again: "How many soldiers and horses do you need to exterminate the Liangshan bandits?" ”

On the way, Guan Sheng and Xuanzan had carefully inquired about the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who had conquered Liangshan, and also considered how many soldiers and horses he needed. If you want to do your best, I'm afraid you need at least 15,000 elite soldiers. ”

Liang Shicheng didn't know anything about military affairs, but he knew that the forbidden army was called 800,000, and when he heard that Guan Sheng only wanted 15,000 people, he immediately said: "Okay, I'll give Tong Guan a letter, and you can take it and let him allocate all the soldiers and horses for you." ”

Guan Sheng and the three resigned from Liang Shicheng, so they took Liang Shicheng's letter to visit Tong Guan.

Tong Guan saw that there was a letter from Master Liang, and he did not dare to slack off, so he asked the Privy Council to transfer 15,000 elite soldiers from Jingdong and Hebei to gather in Xingren Mansion, and Tokyo also allocated grain and grass to Xingren Mansion.

Guan Sheng received the paperwork, and Hao Siwen, Xuanzan to Xingren Mansion, and when the soldiers and horses gathered, they were divided into three armies, Hao Siwen was the vanguard, Guan Sheng was the general of the Chinese army, Xuanzan was the merger, and the mighty killing came to Liangshan.

Look at the more than 40 miles away from Jeju City, come to a place, called Fengwei Slope, a big forest under the slope.

Hao Siwen is also a person who has learned eighteen kinds of martial arts since he was a child and is familiar with military books and war books, but he has never used them. Knowing that Jingdong and Hebei soldiers and horses were mobilized together, they couldn't hide from the Liangshan spies, and after entering the Jeju territory, they secretly raised their vigilance.

When he arrived at Fengwei Slope, Hao Siwen saw that the forest was a little quiet, so he immediately restrained the soldiers and horses and sent people into the forest to check.

Li Kui, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon led a thousand regiments of soldiers to ambush in the forest, preparing to stop and cut off when the officers and soldiers passed by.

Li Kui was already impatient to wait, and when he saw that Hao Siwen stopped his soldiers and horses and sent someone to the forest, he said: "The military advisor's strategy has been seen through by others, so let's rush out and kill him for a while." ”

When Jiao Ting heard this, he hurriedly said: "The military advisor has an order, if it is seen through, we will withdraw from the forest, and they will not be able to catch up." ”

Li Kui was thrown by Jiao Ting a few times, and he was also a little afraid of him, and said with a smile: "If you don't even dare to fight the officers and soldiers, go back and eat the laughter of the brothers." Besides, the King of Heaven promised me to be a pioneer, and I would not violate the military order when I fought the first battle. ”

Xiang Chong also wanted to make meritorious contributions, and said: "What Brother Tie Niu said is that it is not good to say it, and there are other brothers in the back to respond." ”

"Kill"

Li Kui didn't wait for Jiao Ting to speak, so he shouted and rushed out.

Seeing this, Jiao Ting had no choice but to rush out.

Naturally, the regimental soldiers followed closely.

Hao Siwen had already transferred the archers, and when he saw that there was indeed an ambush, he waved his hand and said, "Release the arrows." ”

At the sound of the order, the archers began to shoot arrows towards the edge of the forest.

Seeing this, Xiang Chong and Li Gon hurriedly stepped forward to protect Li Kui and Jiao Ting, but fortunately, the arrows were not dense, and the two of them made a good team, but the four leaders were all unharmed.

The other regimental soldiers were also basically uninjured.

Hao Siwen was stunned when he saw that almost no one fell under the arrow.

Although thousands of arrows were shot together, and there were not a few arrows distributed to everyone, the momentum of ten thousand arrows was still very intimidating, and it was still difficult to block all the arrows.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Li Kui and the others had few casualties, but they were about to rush forward.

Seeing this, Hao Siwen hurriedly shouted: "The archers retreat, and the spearmen step forward." ”

Seven or eight out of ten of the Northern Song Dynasty troops were archers, and the rest were spearmen to defend the archers and prevent the cavalry from charging.

The front row of the officers and soldiers soon set up a gun array.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers no longer fired arrows, and no longer cared about Xiang Chong, who had just covered him, Li Kui pulled out his feet and rushed towards the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Hao Siwen saw Li Kui's hideous face and stout figure, and couldn't help laughing: "It is said that the heroes of Liangshan are so good, it turns out that they are just such pickled villagers, Shangguan Ji, you take a hundred horse troops to attack the flank of the Liangshan bandits, and after breaking through, they will go around to the front of the forest to prevent the Liangshan bandits from entering the forest again." ”

When Shangguan heard this, he ordered a hundred soldiers and horses to go around the regimental soldiers from the flanks.

Jiao Ting saw a horse army rushing towards him, and hurriedly shouted: "Tie Niu, the officers and soldiers have a horse army, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will not be able to retreat." ”

Li Kui didn't hear it, and rushed over with the spearmen in front.

"Kill"

When the gunmen in the front row saw Li Kui rushing towards him, they shouted, so they raised their spears together and stabbed at Li Kui.

Li Kui saw four or five spears stabbing at him, but he grinned, swept the axe in his hand, cut off all the spears, and then continued to kill several pikemen.

The pikemen in the front row saw that Li Kui was coming so violently, and hurriedly dodged and retreated to the back.

The pikemen in the second row stepped forward, and several spears stabbed at Li Kui together.

Li Kui cut off the spear with another board axe, and had already grabbed the pikemen, and cut down several people with the board axe, and then crashed into the formation and slashed and killed wantonly.

The regimental soldiers in the back also took the opportunity to pour into the formation and fight.

Hao Siwen didn't expect Li Kui to be so fierce, seeing that the sergeants couldn't stop Li Kui, he hit the horse and stabbed Li Kui with one shot.

Li Kui was about to receive a reward for his meritorious service and buy wine and food, when he saw the officers and soldiers coming over, he was also overjoyed, and he slashed at Hao Siwen's steel spear with an axe.
