Chapter Eighty-Four: Hu Yanzhuo's Defeat

The next day, Shi Jin took a few more people down the mountain.

This time, Lin Chong went straight to the battle.

The two of them fought for fifty or seventy times, and Shi Jin told the two of them to rest less

Look at the fight until noon, but no one can win anyone.

Shi Jin stopped the two of them again and said, "The general and Lin Jiaotou are comparable in martial arts, and it is difficult to tell the winner if they continue to fight." On the contrary, it will make your army uneasy, why don't we stop fighting, wait for the surface to freeze, and then the two armies will clash, and then divide the victory and defeat. The general can rest assured that General Peng is in my cottage and will never slack off. ”

Peng Xi saw that Shi Jin was so upright, and he was also very admired, and shouted to Hu Yanzhuo: "General, go back, Peng Xi was captured, I only blame myself for not being good at learning, and I don't dare to blame the general." ”

Hu Yanzhuo and Lin Chong fought for a long time, and he also knew that Lin Chong's martial arts were even higher than him, if it wasn't for a fight, Shi Jin would have stopped Lin Chong, I'm afraid Lin Chong would have won him.

Hearing Peng Xi's shouting, he sighed, hugged his fists and said: "Hu Yanzhuo is incompetent, and he can't win against Lin Jiaotou." In a few days, I will lead the troops to battle. ”

After speaking, he turned his horse and led a dozen or so relatives away.

Shi Jin also turned to Peng Xi and said: "Please also ask the general to stay in the cottage for a while, and when the two armies are divided and General Peng wants to leave, Shi Jin will not stop him." ”

"I feel the kindness of the leader."

Shi Jin can make such a promise to him, how can Peng Xi ask for more.

He only hopes that Hu Yanzhuo can defeat Liangshan in the future, otherwise the three of them have made military orders, even if Shi Jin lets them leave, they will not be able to go back.

Everyone returned to the cottage and no longer berthed, but only practiced soldiers and horses in the cottage every day to prepare for war.

Peng Xi has been living in the guest room, and no one has taken care of him, and he is allowed to move around everywhere in the cottage.

Shi Jin was afraid that he would be bored, so he took him to Dongshan Village for a walk, and gave him a hundred taels of silver to let him go to Dongshan to play.

How dare Peng Xi accept Shi Jin's silver, but he also admires Shi Jin's personality more and more.

The food of the Liangshan soldiers also made him sigh greatly, there is meat in the meals, although there is not much, but you can indeed see the meat, and the meals are full.

Don't say that they have a local ban army, even the Tokyo ban army does not have this treatment.

Now Dongshan is a village, Xishan is a place to raise horses, and Beishan is a place where Huotou Army raises all kinds of poultry and livestock, so although Shuibo is still unpopular, the cottage food has not deteriorated.

Of course, after the water is frozen, the cottage still has to send people around to buy poultry and livestock, and the poultry and livestock raised by the fire head army cannot supply thousands of people for a long time.

What made Peng Xi even more frightened was Liangshan's soldiers and horses, Peng Xi went up the mountain a few days ago to catch up with the cottage competition at the end of the month, watching a team of well-trained soldiers and horses against each other, he also began to doubt whether Hu Yanzhuo could win Liangshan soldiers and horses.

The state capitals where the three of them are officials are all Gyeonggi strongholds, and they can indeed be said to be the elite of the forbidden army, but that is also relative.

Their soldiers and horses are also the same as the forbidden army under heaven, eating empty salaries, not training diligently, and being afraid of war, these problems have long been deep-rooted, and they are not the generals who lead the troops can eradicate them, some officials in the DPRK and China have benefited, and there are also local officials and wealthy families who have benefited, and they can only train some soldiers and horses.

This time, it was said that 8,000 soldiers and horses were on the march, but in fact there were only more than 5,000 people, and among them, there were only 3,000 horse troops, but in fact there were only more than 500 horse troops.

Although Gao Yu allocated a thousand war horses, the horse army that did not have horses on weekdays was also trained by the infantry army, and these war horses could only be reserved for more than 500 horse troops.

Even if their well-trained soldiers and horses do not have an advantage over the Liangshan soldiers and horses, not to mention that the Liangshan soldiers and horses are recuperating in the cottage and their morale is high, while their soldiers and horses are frozen in the camp, and their morale is bound to be low.

When Peng Xi was discouraged, Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao were also worried about the morale of the army being worse day by day.

Their soldiers and horses are also proficient in drilling, but they have not been through the battle formation, and they are stationed in the city on weekdays, how can they have camped in the field for so long in the winter.

It's not a camper, but it's not much better.

At night, tents without fires are almost the same as in the wilderness, and people can only burrow into the bed.

During the day, even if Hu Yanzhuo made an exception and asked them to take back the tent to eat, but before they got to the tent, the food was cold.

How could these soldiers born in the peaceful years endure this suffering, and within a few days, some people began to self-harm, and after Hu Yanzhuo sent some wounded people to Yuncheng County to recuperate, more and more people self-harmed.

From the various sprains at the beginning, to the accidental injuries of wiping weapons in the back, Hu Yanzhuo was not the first time to lead the troops, and immediately transferred some doctors from Yuncheng County, no matter what kind of injuries were treated in the camp, and they were not allowed to leave the camp.

The soldiers saw that they could not leave the camp, so they no longer harmed themselves, and it was not easy to get wounds in this camp in this winter.

But the complaints in the army are getting louder.

A doctor who was forcibly recruited by Yuncheng County wanted to go home early, and said that you don't have to harm yourself, wait for the battle with Liangshan, and if they are caught, they will also let you go back and entangle you, and this situation will spread in the camp.

Some soldiers also swore that they had heard that the Jeju Forbidden Army had been released by Yangsan several times.

After Hu Yanzhuo heard the spread of this situation in the camp, he could only bite the bullet and say that after being caught by Liang Shan, they would never release people casually, and at the same time, it was strictly forbidden to spread rumors in the army.

But the story of Liangshan doing the right thing for heaven and robbing the rich and helping the poor has already spread all over the world, and some soldiers have heard about Liangshan releasing the Jeju forbidden army, who still wants to believe Hu Yanzhuo's words.

Fortunately, Gao Yu's side did not urge Hu Yanzhuo to use troops, otherwise Hu Yanzhuo would take these soldiers who were competing to harm themselves to smash the frozen ice surface, I am afraid that they would directly mutiny.

In November, the wind tightened for several days, and the clouds were dense in all directions, and finally the snow flew down for a day, and it fell for a day, and the snow stopped.

The next day, Hu Yanzhuo didn't care about the thick snow on the ground, so he led a dry horse army to Bobian.

Under the cover of snow, there is a white expanse everywhere, and if it weren't for the reeds growing on the edge of the berth, it would be difficult to find water.

A few days ago, there were pedestrians on the berth, but there were not too many people walking.

It was not the first time that these horse soldiers had come to sentry, so they quickly tied ropes around a dozen people and let the people on the shore drag them, and they walked together into the water.

walked out for dozens of feet, and there was no movement under their feet, and those people were bold enough to jump on the berth, and there was nothing abnormal.

Seeing this, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but rejoice: "It's finally frozen, and when the snow melts, you can attack Liangshan." ”

After returning to the camp, Hu Yanzhuo immediately gave the three armies more food and asked them to prepare to fight in the coming day.

But when the snow melts, the weather is even colder, and it is how to boost morale by eating one more meal.

Seeing that the snow was about to melt, the little colonel came to report, and Liangshan sent a messenger to send a war letter.

Hu Yanzhuo listened to it and hurriedly asked people to bring it in.

The scouts who came sent the war book.

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Liang Shan would fight again in about three days, and couldn't help frowning: "Why wait three days? ”

Tanma said: "Now there is mud everywhere, and the army is not easy to fight. ”

Hu Yanzhuo is not a person who does not leave the house, he immediately reacted, knowing that he was in a hurry, and nodded: "Okay, I will take this battle book." ”

The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.

Hu Yanzhuo will not embarrass the person who wrote this book.

Three days later, the battalion of Liangshan and Huyanzhuo went out to explore the area of the battle, which was more than ten miles away, and they were afraid that the other side would have ambush soldiers.

After the sentry of the horses, the army headed for the battlefield.

The two armies faced each other, and both sides put the horse army in the middle, and the two wings were the infantry army.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't put a chain of horses.

Although the chain horse is powerful, it is not difficult to break.

When Hu Yanzhuo found out that Yangsan had obtained many divine arm bows from Jeju and Dongpyeong, he had no idea of manipulating the chain horses at all.

In front of the god arm bow, the heavy cavalry are all paper tigers.

The Iron Harrier of Western Xia couldn't please the Divine Arm Bow, and the chain horses were even more unbearable, as long as they shot down a few, all the chain horses would be wasted.

Of course, Hu Yanzhuo still put on a vest for his horse army, after all, this will improve the protection a lot.

This time, Liangshan is also the best of the best.

The twelve leaders of the infantry army, including Lu Da, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Zhu Gui, Shi Yong, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, and Bai Sheng, all led their troops down the mountain.

Shi Jin and Yang Zhi's horse army was not able to fight yet, only Lin Chong's 200 horse army went down the mountain, but Shi Jin, Yang Zhi, and Lu Fang also rode horses and lined up with Lin Chong in front of the horse army.

Only the battle leader was Nguyen Thi Sanxiong who led his troops to stay in Shuizhai.

The two soldiers and horses were all imperial court standard armor, but Liangshan was replaced with black from the inside out, and the horse army only lacked the vest.

In terms of armor, Liangshan does not have any disadvantages.

Although the men and horses are only half of the officers and men, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Liangshan is much higher than that of the officers and soldiers who have been frozen outside the park for more than a month.

Hu Yanzhuo knew that the fighting generals could not defeat Lin Chong, and when the army was set aside, the whole army would move forward to cover and kill.

Shi Jin saw Hu Yanzhuo waving the army coming, and he didn't want to bend his sharpness, so he waved his soldiers and horses and rushed back.

Shi Jin took the lead, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi protected on the left and right, and Lu Fang protected Shi Jinshuai in the middle.

Two hundred horses rushed forward in a sharp formation.

Hu Yanzhuo Ma Jun is also in a sharp arrow formation, and the arrow is him.

But in an instant, the two horse armies collided together.

Shi Jin and Hu Yanzhuo just crossed by the wrong horse as soon as they got together, and neither of them fell off the horse, but there were few people behind them who were their enemies.

Soon, Shi Jin led people to break through the Huyan Zhuo Horse Army, and the infantry army was beside him, but Shi Jin did not lead troops to rush them, but rushed directly to the back and began to assemble.

Soon, the remaining horse army was assembled under the banner of Shi Jin.

With one face, the 200 horse army fell dozens of people.

Shi Jin didn't care about counting the losses, and saw that Hu Yanzhuo on the other side was still gathering the horse army, and immediately led the horse army to rush over.

Huyanzhuo's horse army also lost dozens of people, but many people did not dare to fight anymore, but after rushing through the formation, they fell off their horses and fled to both sides, so angry that Huyanzhuo gritted his teeth.

However, he didn't have time to deal with these deserters, so he could only lead the assembled horse army to meet the Liangshan horse army.

When the Ma army met for the second time, the infantry troops on both flanks also fought together.

Although there were many officers and soldiers, the leaders of the twelve infantry armies such as Luda were fierce, and the Liangshan soldiers, who had to compete every month, were much braver than the officers and soldiers who had never been in battle.

As soon as they looked at each other, the officers and soldiers were scattered in all directions.

The officers and soldiers on the outside decisively began to flee, while the officers and soldiers in the middle began to abandon their weapons and surrender, waiting for Liangshan to go home.

The horse army collided three times, and there were only dozens of horses left around Hu Yanzhuo.

The rest of the small half were injured and fell off the horse, but most of them did not dare to experience the cruel collision again.

Hu Yanzhuo still wanted to fight again, but seeing that the defeat of the infantry troops on both wings was decided, he was powerless to return to the sky, so he could only flee outside the battlefield with dozens of cavalry troops.

Shi Jin only had eighty or ninety horsemen left here, and when he saw Hu Yanzhuo fleeing, he also knew that he couldn't catch up, so he simply didn't chase after him, and Lin Chong and Yang Zhi each led twenty or thirty cavalry to chase and intercept the infantry on both wings.
