Shi Wengong was shocked, and was just about to find a way out, only to hear the sound of dangdangdang bangzi, and thousands of crossbows in the woods on all sides were fired in unison, and the arrows were like flying locusts.

Shi Wengong and the thousands of people and horses, don't want to get away with half of them, most of them were shot to death in the snow under the Great Wall Ridge, fortunately Shi Wengong did not sit on the horse, so that the horses in front of him blocked most of the bows and arrows, but there were also many shot Shi Wengong, thanks to his Liangshan military horses desperately killed, Shi Wengong broke out of the encirclement and picked up a life.

It turned out that Wen Anye led the ambush soldiers, and when they arrived at the foot of the Great Wall Ridge, they were in a favorable position, and saw that the mountain pass was flat and snowy, and there was no trace of it, so he expected that the thieves would come to visit. He was afraid that he would step on the snow, so that the Liangshan thieves could see the flaws, but he did not enter from the mountain pass, but went out of the forest path and went up the mountain. Will Chen. The thunderstone rolling wood prepared by Xizhen was transported to the mountain pass for application, and he taught his henchmen to pretend to be farmers to lure the enemy. On that day, Shi Wengong was expected to come in, and he acted according to the plan, and he really won a big victory with one blow.

However, it was said that the middle arrow tiger Ding Desun and the two-tailed scorpion Xie Zhen led the half of the men and horses, and were chasing the officers and soldiers, and suddenly saw the fire in the valley shining in the sky, and the people shouted and neighed, and suddenly realized that Shi Wengong had been tricked, and he was busy collecting troops and coming back to respond. I saw that the mountain pass was broken, and I was stunned in my heart, and I knew that it was not good, at this time, Gou Huan, Gou Ying, Zhen Xianglin and others had already turned around, and the Liangshan army and horses were caught off guard and were beaten. Gou Ying and the other three generals trapped Ding Desun in his heart.

Ding Desun was hit by four arrows in his body, and he couldn't get out of the fight, but fortunately, Zhang Yinglei, the tiger idiot, and Lu Zhishen, the flower monk, led the army to kill and rescued Ding Desun and Shi Wengong, who was unconscious and seriously injured. The four generals of the official army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill for a while, and returned with a great victory.

The generals of Liangshan broke out of the encirclement, staggered and ran, and arrived outside the Great Wall Ridge, it was already five watches of weather, checking the military horses, even Zhang Yinglei, Lu Zhishen brought, only more than 4,000 people remained, most of them were injured, the wind was cold, and the blood flowed into ice.

Zhang Yinglei said: "The Metropolitan Governor is afraid that you will fall for the strategy of the official army, so he specially taught me to answer you. Ding Desun and Xie Zhen bowed their heads and were silent.

When they returned to the Liangshan Military Horse Camp, Zhang Yinglei, Lu Zhishen and others arranged for Shi Wengong, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to go to the rear camp to find a military doctor for treatment, and then entered the Chinese army's tent to resume his life.

Came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Chao Gai sat on the top with a sinking face, and everyone next to him was silent, the atmosphere was extremely serious for a while, Ding Desun and Xie Zhen knew that they had made a big mistake this time, and after coming in, they directly fell to the ground with a plop, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Seeing a few people coming in, Chao Gai looked at Ding Desun and Xie Zhen who were kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Zhang Yinglei and Tao Zhenting next to him, sighed, and said: "Alas, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, Ding Desun, Xie Zhen and the two brothers, get up."

As soon as they heard that Chao Gai had let the two of them get up, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, knowing that Chao Gai would not blame the two of them, but Ding Desun was also a general who had commanded the army for many years, so he naturally knew the seriousness of military discipline.

At that moment, Ding Desun didn't get up, he was still kneeling there, his expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The last general implores the governor of the capital to withdraw the general's order, the last general led the army and horses, carelessly underestimated the enemy, and fell into the enemy's tricks, so that tens of thousands of brothers died, if the last general was let go so easily, it would be said by others, and the last general would also feel sorry for the tens of thousands of heroic souls."

"Military law is ruthless, and the last general implores the governor of the capital to order the general to set an example for the last general, and the military law has been corrected."

Ding Desun's voice was loud and firm, and everyone next to him didn't feel that they admired this man who was not noticeable on weekdays.

Chao Gai looked at Ding Desun appreciatively, although Xie Zhen next to him didn't speak, but he still knelt there, which means the same as Ding Desun, there is such a fierce and responsible general, Liang Shan why worry about defeating the battle.

At that moment, Chao Gai nodded and said: "What Ding Desun said is also right, if the loss of soldiers is not punished, where is the military law, how to face the brothers who died on the battlefield, but the war is imminent, and the army is the time to employ people, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped."

"Remove you from the posts of both prisoners and deputy eunuchs, receive thirty military sticks, and make meritorious contributions in the front account. Shi Wengong was dismissed from the post of chief of soldiers and horses, and after he recovered from his illness, he made meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing Chao Gai's words, the two of them softened their faces, stood up, hugged their fists towards Chao Gai, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the Metropolitan Governor not to kill, and the final general will definitely live up to the expectations of the Metropolitan Governor and make meritorious contributions."

After that, he turned around and went out and received thirty military sticks, although it looked like thirty was not much, but the military sticks were different from the water and fire sticks in the ordinary yamen, but they were solid wooden sticks, covered with iron sheets, not to say thirty, even if it was ten, it could make people's skin open and painful.

After settling the matter of Ding Desun and the two people, Chao Gai said to Xiao Jiasui, the chief of staff next to him: "The pensions of the fallen soldiers must be paid in place as soon as possible, and the ashes of these heroes will be brought back and placed in the Martyrs' Pavilion, and we heroes in Liangshan must not forget them."

"Yes, don't worry." Xiao Jiasui said with a serious face.

"How is Brother Shi Wengong?" Chao Gai asked again.

Zhang Yinglei on the side replied: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Shi Wengong's injuries are too serious, he was hit by arrows in 28 places, and he bled too much, but he didn't hurt the vital point, there should be no big problem, the last general has already sent someone to Liangshan to ask Mr. Fan to go down the mountain."

Chao Gai nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Okay, Brother Shi Wengong is fine, but I didn't expect that we would be hit by Chen in the end. Xizhen's treacherous scheme, how can it really be reasonable. ”

Not to mention how the people in Liangshan responded, Wen Anye, Gou Ying, Gou Huan and Zhen Xianglin led the soldiers and horses and returned to the official camp with countless captured ordnance and materials.

Old. Xizhen finally heard a good news these days, naturally he was very happy, and after meeting the four people, he encouraged them, and wrote down the merits of the four people in the merit book, and let them go down to rest.

After the four of them went down, Zhu Yongqing, the military advisor next to him, said: "General, just now the news came from Marshal He, saying that the army will arrive here tomorrow, let us prepare to meet the main army."

After listening to Zhu Yongqing's words, Chen. Xi Zhen nodded, and then said: "Our camp for the army has been prepared, even if the army comes today, it doesn't matter, but our army has not made progress for several months, and even a small Jingdezhen has not been breached, how can you tell me to go to see the marshal, alas!"

See Chen. Xi Zhen sighed there, Zhu Yongqing smiled slightly, and said: "General, if the Liangshan thieves are so easy to deal with, there is no need for the imperial court to send hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of battlefield generals with great effort, and our army won a big victory yesterday, the marshal should understand."

"I hope so." Old. Xizhen sighed and said, after speaking, he remembered one more thing, and instructed Zhu Yongqing: "By the way, Yongqing, you will go to the camp where the army is stationed to see if there are any omissions, so as not to have problems when the army is stationed in."

"Yes. The general is reassured. Zhu Yongqing bowed slightly and said.

The two talked again, and Zhu Yongqing got up and said goodbye.

After a night of silence, on the second day, Chen. Xi Zhen began to prepare for the main force of the army early in the morning, and at noon, he finally reported that the main army still had a quarter of an hour to arrive at the barracks.

Old. Xi Zhen personally led his generals Zhu Yongqing, Chen Liqing, Wen Anye, Zhen Xianglin, Gou Huan, Gou Ying, Wang Tianba and others out of the village to greet him.

After a while, I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Xi Zhen knew that this was the main army of the official army, so he immediately turned around and said to the generals and sergeants behind him: "Brothers, cheer up, let He Dashuai take a look at our morale."

The crowd heard Chen. Xi Zhen's words, all of them are energetic, stubborn, and faintly exude a trace of murderous aura. The elite of the elite specially selected by Xizhen from the tens of thousands of elites.

It was another time for tea, and the army finally arrived at the gate of the camp, stopped, and a majestic old man came out of the middle of the line.
