After deciding on the strategy of chasing the world, Shi Jin divided his troops into four ways the next day.

Chen Da, Dong Ping, and Zhang Qing led 10,000 troops to attack Dongping Mansion, Lin Chong, Dang Shiying, and Dang Shixiong led 10,000 troops to attack Qizhou, Guan Sheng, Tang Bin, and Su Ding led 10,000 troops to attack Zizhou, and Shi Jin, Hu Yanzhuo, Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, and Hua Rong led 10,000 troops to attack Qingzhou.

Dongping Mansion, Qizhou, Zizhou, and Qingzhou are all state capitals through which Jishui passes, and if these four places are defeated, Liangshan will no longer have to worry about the attack of the government when he goes to sea from Jishui.

Of course, in the past few years, the government has not dared to attack the Liangshan Water Army, firstly, the Liangshan Water Army has a strong escort force, and secondly, the state capitals are afraid of provoking Liangshan to retaliate.

Now there are more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, but more than 30,000 of them are new soldiers, and Shi Jin and other four-way soldiers and horses are half veterans and half recruits.

After Liangshan began to dump burning knife wine into Liaojin, Zhu Gui's intelligence department has been infiltrating the prefecture capitals along the Jishui route, especially the Dongping Mansion near Liangshan.

Outside the Dongping Mansion where Chen Da had just led his troops, the soldiers and civilians in the city mutinied and opened the city gate.

The slogan of "Welcoming the King of Benevolence, Dividing the Land" also spread rapidly in Shandong.

In the past, the people only dared to look at the Liangshan soldiers and horses from a distance, but now the people are holding eggs and steamed buns and stuffing them into the hands of the Liangshan soldiers.

However, the soldiers of Liangshan did not accept anything from the people, which made the people believe that King Ren loved the people like a son.

When Shi Jin led his troops to Qingzhou City, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang had already led their troops to force the city to go down to the wall.

Yang Zhi went out of the camp for ten miles and greeted Shi Jin and others.

After Yang Zhi and others established a village in Qingzhou, Qin Ming, the head of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, took strict precautions. He also fought with Yang Zhi and others twice.

Qin Ming's martial arts are strong, and Yang Zhi and others dare not underestimate them, in order to maintain the suppression of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses. Yang Zhi, Luda, and Wu Song must have two of them sitting in Qingzhou.

In the past two years, only when Shi Jin got married, Yang Zhi returned to the mountain to celebrate.

Shi Jin and Yang Zhi can also say that they haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they saw Yang Zhi coming with some horse troops, they said with a smile: "I have already sent an order to greet Yang Zhi without leaving the camp, why did the Yang Zhi brothers come so far." ”

Yang Zhi bowed his hand and said, "I haven't seen my brother and brothers for a long time. I thought about it too much, so I rushed here. The camp is guarded by Brother Luda, if Qin Ming dares to attack the camp. The head that must be touched breaks the blood flow. ”

The two said a few more words of lovesickness, and everyone came forward on horseback.

When I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw Luda, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang at the gate to greet them.

Everyone saw the salute and came to the big tent of the Chinese army. Shi Jin sat down behind the case of the middle marshal. Lu Fang and Guo Sheng stood behind.

Yang Zhi, Luda, Hu Yanzhuo, Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, Hua Rong, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others all sat below.

Shi Jin looked at Yang Zhi and Lu Dadao: "You have camped in Qingzhou for many years, do you have a plan to break Qingzhou?" ”

Yang Zhidao: "Qin Ming is very well guarded, and it is difficult to take Qingzhou lightly. However, Qin Ming's temperament is as fierce as fire, and those forbidden army soldiers are used to being lazy, so they are often punished by Qin Ming. The Qingzhou forbidden army has a lot of complaints against Qin Ming, and those forbidden troops are afraid of fighting, if we storm Qingzhou, those forbidden troops are likely to defect. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay." Then we will storm Qingzhou. How's the siege equipment ready? ”

Yang Zhidao: "After receiving my brother's documents, we set out to make siege equipment. Enough to use for a few days. ”

Shi Jin nodded and said: "Yes, you have worked hard for the past two years, after conquering Qingzhou, you will be appointed as the chief soldier of Shandong, in charge of Shandong military affairs." ”

Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard this.

Yang Zhi stood up in surprise and joy, hugged his fists and said: "In terms of martial arts and merits, Yang Zhi is not a top-notch person, how dare he be the chief soldier of Shandong!" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "The world is so big, other brothers have their own places to go." These soldiers and horses in Qingzhou are all under your command, and you can expand the number to 10,000 people, but the Luda brothers want to go with me to expand the territory. ”

"Obey my brother's orders."

Yang Zhi surrendered his order and smiled at Luda: "Brother can go, but brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang have to leave it to me." ”

In the past two years, the five of them have been training in Qingzhou, Kong Ming and Kong Liang saw that Luda was strong in martial arts, so they worshiped Luda as a teacher to learn martial arts.

Under Luda's training, the martial arts of the brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang have also grown a lot.

Ruda smiled: "Okay, if you want to be the chief soldier, let their brothers help you." ”

After a while, they said goodbye to each other, and then went to rest.

On the fifth watch of the next day, the Huotou army made rice, and after the army ate, they came to Qingzhou.

When the army arrived outside the city of Qingzhou, they saw that the city gate was closed, and the city wall was lined up with sergeant flags and rolling wood and stones.

Qingzhou Zhizhou looked at the black Liangshan soldiers and horses below, his legs trembled, and said to Qin Ming on the side: "I don't know how many thieves are coming, the chief must guard the city!" ”

Qin Ming said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, as long as I am at the head of the city, the thieves will not want to attack it." ”

Qingzhou Zhizhou also knew that Qin Ming had always been brave, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's all thanks to the manager." When the thief retreats, the official must ask for credit for the manager. ”

Qin Ming saw that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan under the city were pushing more than a dozen building cars forward, and hurriedly said to Zhizhou: "The thieves are about to attack the city, please go down to the city first." ”

The governor of Qingzhou was also a little frightened when he saw the building car that was higher than the head of the city, and hurriedly led people to hide in the city.

Qin Ming shouted: "Catapults, bed crossbows are ready to destroy the thieves and thieves"

Under the impetus of the Liangshan soldiers, the building cars continued to approach the city wall.

The catapults and bed crossbows in the city also began to wield, and stone cannons the size of watermelons and iron arrows three or four feet long smashed into the building carts one after another.

However, these gunners and crossbowmen were much more unfamiliar with catapults and bed crossbows than knives and guns.

The building car made by Yang Zhiren is more than two zhang wide, which is not small, but few stone cannons and iron arrows can hit.

Most of the stone cannons and iron arrows roared past and smashed into the clearing.

However, the power of these two weapons is still very great, and several Liangshan soldiers were unfortunately hit, and their flesh and bones were immediately smashed into mud.

Even if someone around him was stoned to death, the remaining Liangshan soldiers did not stop for a moment, or pushed or pulled, allowing the building car to continue to move forward.

Qin Ming saw that most of the artillery arrows were missed. couldn't help but scold: "Bastard, aimed." ”

The forbidden army in the city all knew Qin Ming's temperament, and heard Qin Ming scold. One by one, they slowed down and took aim again and again before they dared to hit.

Although the accuracy is higher, the attack speed is much slower.

The pressure on Liangshan's soldiers and horses has decreased.

Within 100 paces of the city wall, an archer stood up on the cart to test the shot.

The test-firing archer looked at the cuirass of a forbidden army at the head of the city and shot, the bow opened the full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor.

A flash of black light flashed, and the forbidden army fell.

The test-fired sharpshooter looks like he can already shoot through the armor. Immediately shouted for the building car to stop.

As soon as the cart stopped, a group of archers charged up from behind and climbed onto the cart. Shoot at the archers of the city.

Trench trucks also came out of the Liangshan array and began to fill the moat.

Not long after the Liangshan archers were powerful, the catapults at the head of Qingzhou City were all dumbfounded.

Archers cannot destroy catapults, but they can shoot gunners.

The pulling of the catapult is a long practice. In order to work together. Otherwise, the accuracy of the catapult cannot be guaranteed at all.

This is also the reason why Yangsan did not use catapults.

Ling Zhen trained a group of gunners, but Shi Jin did not transfer Ling Zhen's gunners to Qingzhou, but Yang Zhi did not have gunners.

The iron arrows of the bed crossbow have terrifying lethality to people, but they have little effect on the two-zhang wide building car, and if they shoot accurately, they only leave fist-sized holes in the wall of the building car, and they cannot destroy the building car.

There were more archers at the head of the city than there were archers on the carriage of Liangshan Tower, but the archers of Liangshan actually had the upper hand.

After nearly 100 casualties among the forbidden troops at the head of the city. The archers began to hide in Tibet, if it weren't for Qin Ming supervising the battle at the head of the city. I'm afraid that the Qingzhou Forbidden Army will collapse like this.

The trench carts had a wall to shield the arrows, and the soldiers pushing below did not have to worry about the archers in the city.

It only took an hour for Liangshan to fill in the Qingzhou moat.

As soon as the moat was leveled, thousands of infantry troops carried the ladder to the city to kill.

"Arrows, arrows."

Although Qin Ming kept roaring, the forbidden army at the head of the city was still hiding in Tibet, and only a few people dared to get up and release arrows.

When Qin Ming was kicking and beating an archer hiding under the battlements, an archer on the building car finally seized the opportunity and shot an arrow into Qin Ming's shoulder.

"Ahh

Qin Ming snorted, grabbed the handle of the arrow, and broke it with a force, and at the same time flashed an arrow from the side.

Qin Ming was bleeding from his shoulder, and instead of going down to the city, he yelled: "Get up and shoot the fuck for me!" ”

It's a pity that his martial bravery did not stimulate the bloody nature of the forbidden army who were accustomed to eating and waiting for death.

Those forbidden troops who were hiding in Tibet saw Qin Ming being injured and supervising the battle, but most of them cursed Qin Ming in their hearts that Qin Ming was killed by an arrow, and this guy in the province forced them to fight.

Qin Ming also knew that he couldn't let all the archers on the building car aim at him, otherwise even if only the twenty or so archers on the front of the building car could attack him, it would be enough to shoot him.

A mace smashed the head of an archer, who was shrunk under the battlements, and shouted: "There is no forgiveness for those who avoid war." ”

Seeing Qin Ming so ferocious, the nearby archers hurriedly stood up and opened their bows to set up their arrows, but the arrows shot were not accurate.

A number of ladders were erected on the top of the city, and the forbidden army on a section of the city wall where Qin Ming supervised the battle was still desperately throwing stones, but the forbidden army in the distance only cared about avoiding the attacks of the archers on the building car, and there were not many people blocking the soldiers and horses of Liangshan.

Soon Liangshan soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

The Qingzhou Forbidden Army, which had been waiting for a long time, saw the Liangshan soldiers, as if they had seen a savior, and threw their weapons and surrendered as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Qin Ming was so angry that he screamed, and rushed to the Liangshan soldiers in Shangcheng with his own soldiers.

"Eat grandpa's axe."

Qin Ming didn't take a few steps before he heard a roar behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a big black man in leather armor jumping up to the city, pulling out two plate axes from his waist, and cutting down his two personal soldiers in an instant.

Qin Ming saw that this big black man was fierce, and he didn't care about the city in front of him, so he turned his head and smashed it at this big black man.

Li Kui was not stupid, he saw Qin Ming's mace roaring, and he didn't use a plate axe to catch it, he dodged it, and slashed at Qin Ming's mace with an axe.

Qin Ming's wrist was forced, wanting to turn it into a sweep, affecting the injury on his shoulder, and with a slow move, he was slashed on the mace by Li Kui with an axe.

Qin Ming's strength was originally not inferior to Li Kui, but he had an injury on his shoulder, and it was a temporary change of move, and the weapons intersected, and the mace was swung outward.

Li Kui didn't stop, he split Qin Ming's mace with an axe, and then pounced on Qin Ming, and the other plate axe also slashed at Qin Ming.

If Li Kui was allowed to get close, Qin Ming's mace would not be able to be used.

Qin Ming hurriedly took a few steps back, and with a flick of the mace in his hand, he blocked Li Kui again.

The two fought a few times, and the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao came from the side with steel forks.

The mace was originally not suitable for foot fighting, Qin Ming was injured again, and after fighting the three of them, he was stabbed down by Xie Zhen, and Li Kui pounced on Qin Ming and was about to chop it.

Xie Bao hurriedly stopped Li Kui and said, "Brother has an order, capture this person alive." ”

Only then did Li Kui remember General Shi Jin's order, and when he turned around and wanted to fight again, there were still officers and soldiers at the head of the city who resisted.

On the other side, Xiang Chong and Li Gon had already opened the city gate and received the horse army outside the city into the city.

Zhensanshan Huang Xin led a team of soldiers and horses to rescue the four cities in the city to prevent Liangshan from attacking the east and the west and attacking other directions.

Seeing that the city head guarded by Qin Ming was lost, he had just led his troops to come to the rescue, and he ran into Luan Tingyu, who was the first to kill.

Before they could fight, Luan Tingyu hit a flying hammer and knocked Huang Xin off his horse.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ma army saw the Liangshan soldiers and horses entering the city, they were all timid and slowed down the speed of the horses, Huang Xin would have been trampled to death by his own horse army. (To be continued......)
