At dusk in the mountains, it is always easy to recall some of the past. The original pleasant moment of sitting and watching the sunset was replaced by the breath of death of killing and attacking. The blood-stained bearded man Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng sat on the last pass of Erlong Mountain, which was full of holes, gasping for breath. The two knives leaned against the female wall casually, and the tip of one of them pressed straight against the masonry, revealing the reality that their owners had lost their former composure.

The cool mountain breeze did not bring the slightest comfort to the attackers and defenders, but the smell of burnt paste mixed in the air made people vomit, it was the smell of burning leather and corpses in the flames, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe in disgust.

"Brother, it seems that today, our limit has arrived! I'll wait...... We're all going to die here! ”

Lei Heng struggled to get up and changed to a slightly more comfortable position, when a bright broken arrow on his left arm was very piercing, which made people look frightened. But because the flesh was too deep, it hadn't been taken out for the time being, Lei Heng looked out of the female wall angrily, which was all given by Pang Yi, the governor of Qingzhou.

Erlong Mountain, which is famous for its triple pass in the green forest of the Great Song Dynasty, has been taken by the official army at this time. Fortunately, the newly transferred Qingzhou official army Su zhì and their civil and military commanders obviously did not match much, and when they just captured the first heavy mountain gate, the three infantry battalions brought by Pang Yi suffered heavy losses.

Here I have to express the credit of Chao Gai, although he was at a loss in the infighting with Song Jiang, but in the two years that he fell into the grass, at least he still poured his energy into the place where it should be used. At this time, the three thousand minions guarding Erlong Mountain pulled out to fight in the field and siege the city, but defending the city still has the demeanor of a rooster who protects the house.

Under the fierce resistance of the defenders of Erlong Mountain, the Qingzhou army, which suffered heavy casualties just after the next city, was finally forced to give up the battlefield, which made the Qingzhou veteran Pang Yi very angry. It must be known that he has been preparing for this battle for a long time, and after taking office, he tailored two high-rise building carts to pacify Erlong Mountain, and hurriedly made a batch of donkey carts to cover the foot soldiers and transport dirt bags, waiting for this moment to level the thief's lair.

It coincided with the imperial court's conquest of Liangshan's army and entered the Beiqing River along the coastal sea. finally gave him hope of sweeping away the thieves in the territory. In the case of asking Murong Yanda to come forward to negotiate, Liu Menglong and the party brothers combined, thinking that Erlongshan is also a lineage of Liangshan, which also belongs to the scope of conquest, not to mention that there is a Qingzhou army to fight the front station, why not do it? The three of them decided to give Murong Yanda, who was born in a noble relative, a face, and took advantage of the situation to implement the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, preparing to eliminate the Liangshan Water Division who came to help in Qingzhou in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Pang Yi waited for the opportunity, but the looseness and weakness of his soldiers disappointed him greatly. After that, the command of the war was naturally taken over by the two brothers of the guest army, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong. Fortunately, these two henchmen who had been gilded in the Western Army. didn't disappoint him, and the ten battalions of soldiers under Liu Menglong were also specially selected, not only know water, but also have experienced actual combat.

Although because of the special defense system of Erlong Mountain, the cocoon was no longer useful when attacking the second level, but the donkey cart helped this group of friendly troops a lot. What's more, there are crossbowmen of the Qingzhou infantry army covering the friendly army attacking the city at the head pass, and Pang Yi seizes the opportunity from time to time to cast cold arrows, which poses a great threat to the defenders, and Lei Heng is such a trick.

In a short period of time, he played two levels. After all, if the Liangshan Shui Master heard that Erlong Mountain was broken, he would retreat to the eight hundred miles of water, and then it would be replaced by an area where thieves were usually active. At least the officials and troops lost their geographical advantages, and it was at this time that Zhu Tong and Lei Heng had a chance to breathe.

"Brother, are you okay?" Looking at Lei Heng, whose expression on his face was almost deformed, Zhu Tong, as the eldest brother, couldn't help but worry.

"Brother. Now that his life is about to be lost, why do you ask what he is doing? Lei Heng, who was blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, laughed at himself, but this smile made Zhu Tong feel bitter.

"Brother. What kind of people did I think of you and me? In Yuncheng County, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I am at ease, I don't want to be forced by Song Zhisi's righteousness, and I have to fall into the grass as a coward, which is also ironic, we actually guard a village that I don't know what to call here, and fight with the imperial army here! Brother, you say, why does God despise you and me so much? ”

How many things in life are in embarrassment! It's no wonder that Lei Heng couldn't figure it out, it seemed that the little officials who were born in the two county yas, but in the end they resisted the officials and soldiers in this green forest, and they were killed all over the field, and their lives could not be saved. It has to be said that this is a mockery of fate.

Lei Heng really wanted to get an answer from this wise man who had a lot of ideas, or a trace of comfort, but unfortunately Zhu Tong was silent and had no reaction, Lei Heng thought about it and said again:

"Now Song Abssi and Chao Baozheng are cutting their robes and breaking their righteousness, and the two of us have become rootless trees, and we have ended up in a situation where my grandmother is not loved by my uncle and uncle. That Wang Lun has always had an old grudge with me, and he still doesn't watch me die this time? Even if the people here die cleanly, what does it have to do with him Liang Shanbo in the end? ”

At this life-and-death juncture, since Lei Heng opened his mouth, he simply said all the words in his heart that were hidden in the past:

"This time, the imperial court raised an army of 130,000 to conquer Liangshan, and the nine route troops and horses sent were all rare elite soldiers in the local area (respectively, Wang Huan, Henan and Hebei Jiedu, Wang Wende, Jingbei Hongnong Jiedu, Yingzhou Runan Jiedu Mei Zhan, Zhongshan Anping Jiedu Zhang Kai, Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu Yang Wen, Yunzhong Yanmen Jiedu Han Cunbao, Longxi Hanyang Jiedu Li Congji, Langya Pengcheng Jiedu Xiang Yuanzhen, Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu Jingzhong), we are holding the Jinling Naval Division and Qingzhou official army together, in the future when facing these people, How many days will it take? Not to mention that he also personally led the 25,000 Imperial Forest Army, with the 800,000 forbidden army head Qiu Yue, the deputy head Zhou Ang, and the gun and stick head Wang Wenbin as minions, and the momentum was violent. At this time, Wang Lun is far away overseas, it can be said that he escaped, but we are unlucky, and we will bear the brunt of it. Brother, why did the two of us fall into such a predicament? ”

The huge pressure made Lei Heng almost collapse, in fact, if he chose this path by himself, he would still die without regrets. The key is that his life is coerced everywhere, and all the moments are full of reluctant factors, the former fell into the grass because of Song Jiang, and the latter took refuge in Liangshan because of Chao Gai, he almost had no chance to make his voice heard, so he died like this, who can be willing.

"You and I have been up the mountain for some time, although there is only one avenue into the mountain in this Baozhu Temple, but the trail out of the mountain is not nothing, your mother, my wife and children are on Liangshan, it is better to ...... Let's go first, brother! Zhu Tong, who had been silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and finally spit out this sentence.

Lei Heng was shocked when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Brother, how are we going?" The rest of these thousands of people are pointing at us, as soon as we withdraw, won't these two dragon mountains collapse in an instant? I'm afraid that you and I haven't run out of the mountain yet, and we will be captured by the official army! ”

"So, I mean, you go alone!"

Zhu Tong's heroic spirit of sacrificing himself at the critical moment permeated again, and Lei Heng, who was wrapped in this righteous spirit, couldn't help but feel sour at the tip of his nose, and saw his lips trembling involuntarily, which clearly reflected his inner struggle. Zhu Tong was still as calm as ever, as if nothing could change his heart.

This is a good man born to be a brother, and perhaps this critical moment is the best stage for him to subconsciously look forward to completing the swan song of life.

"Let's go! Leaving you at this time, what do people in the world think of me Lei Heng? Lei Hengyi was excited, and the broken arrow of his left hand hit the female wall, causing him to bare his teeth for a while.

"Confused! You survived, why don't you want the two of us to die here together? It's enough for me to trade this life for the trust of integrity! Why drag you to die with me? Zhu Tong said angrily.

Lei Heng was the first time in his life to see Zhu Tong angry, and he was stunned, Zhu Tong saw that he was not enlightened, and he was scolded again, he wanted to keep the promise of the end of life, but he didn't want to involve Lei Heng.

"If Liang Shanbo is lucky enough to defeat the official army this time, you are not greedy for wealth and nobility, so I will ask Baozheng to ask Wang Lun for a favor, just ask you to disarm and return to the field, support the old mother, and take care of my wife and children by the way! Baozheng will definitely accept you, and Wang Lun will definitely underwrite Baozheng. Listen to me, this river and lake is not something you and I can afford! ”

Zhu Tong was like the words of Tuo Gu, which made Lei Heng have mixed feelings in his heart. Seeing that he still refused to leave, Zhu Tong got up and kicked him, this kick really kicked Lei Heng, Lei Heng couldn't care about the pain, and shouted when he saw this: "Brother bow your head, be careful of cold arrows!" ”

"Are you going?" Zhu Tong ignored it, just stared at Lei Heng, Lei Heng's eyes burst into tears, he didn't dare to delay any longer, he bowed to Zhu Tong at the moment, and finally went back to the city.

The little minions on the city gate looked at this scene in amazement, these two bloody battles have exhausted their fighting spirit, if it weren't for these two leaders to lead the bloody battle, their morale would have collapsed long ago, just relying on their last breath to hold on to the present, and now the thunder is gone, and the surviving minions suddenly have their hearts fluttering.

"Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me!" Zhu Tong was obviously prepared in the face of this situation, and seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhu Tong said:

"Leader Lei is going down the mountain to ask for reinforcements, and if there is anyone who is willing to go with him, you can go with him, and I will not stop you! But defending the city also requires manpower, otherwise you will be caught up by the pursuers halfway down the road, and no one will be able to escape in the end! Yes, don't panic, let's think about it quietly, who should go down to the city, who will break the queen! ”

What he wants at this moment is the "deception" of "painting cakes to satisfy hunger", and the "coercion" of "fighting against the water", but Zhu Tong is no one else, he is so open and honest with each other, and he puts his heart into his heart. Coming and going, even the most nervous people can feel his sincerity from the heart, from the initial impetuousness to gradually calm down.

"Brother...... Are you going or not? "On the unusually quiet city wall, a voice finally broke the solemn atmosphere.

A smile appeared on Zhu Tong's face, and he looked back at the southwest direction of Chengguan, through the smoke of gunpowder in the sky, towards the tower-like figure in his mind, and bowed slightly. (To be continued......)
