Early in the morning of the second day, Guan Sheng led the soldiers and horses out of the camp again and came to Dulonggang, this time Guan Sheng brought Ling Zhen over, as well as his artillery battalion, Ling Zhen is an expert in making artillery, Guan Sheng sat on the horse at the moment, looked at the dangerous Dulonggang, and ordered someone to call Ling Zhen over.

After a short while, Ling Zhen came to Guan Sheng's side, hugged his fists and said, "General, what's the matter with summoning the last general?" ”

Guan Sheng pointed to Dulonggang in front of him, and said to Ling Zhen: "Dulonggang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Zhu family father and son have been in business for many years, and they have long been impregnable, and now the Liangshan thieves occupy here, and they are even more indestructible, and non-human beings can break through, so Guan asked the general to come over and ask the general, with the artillery under the general, can this Dulonggang be broken?" ”

Ling Zhen didn't answer Guan Sheng immediately, but put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction of Dulonggang, the previous dense forest in front of him just blocked the road in and out of Dulonggang, that is to say, if you want to attack Dulonggang, then Pantuo Road is the only way, Pantuo Road is not broken, if you don't say that you have broken Dulonggang earlier, even the edge of Dulonggang can't be touched.

Ling Zhen thought about it, and after calculating it in his heart, he said to Guan Sheng: "Pantuo Road is winding and densely jungled, once you enter it, if you don't have a way, you will definitely fall into it, and then you will be at the mercy of the Liangshan bandits, but without passing through Pantuo Road, my army will not be able to reach Dulonggang, according to the foolish opinion of the last general, this matter is also easy." ”

"Will the plan be released?" As soon as Guan Sheng heard that Ling Zhen had a way, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked.

"Burn Pantuolu." Ling Zhen said: "No matter how powerful this Pantuo Road is, how many organs are ambushed in it, the Liangshan thieves follow nothing more than this dense forest, the dense forest blocks people's sight, so that the army can get lost in it, I might as well burn this dense forest to the ground, and then the Pantuo Road will be self-defeating." ”

Guan Sheng was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately ordered the army to prepare something to set fire, and prepare to burn Pantuo Road, after the order was issued, the officers and soldiers began to act, and two hundred sergeants poured all the flammable oil, sulfur and other flammable into the dense forest, Guan Sheng gave an order, and began to ignite the fire.

The late autumn is still very large, coupled with the dry weather, as long as there is a little spark in the woods can be ignited, not to mention that the official army also used so much fire oil and sulfur.

Liangshan military horses also stationed 1,000 sergeants inside, responsible for the work of agency information and reconnaissance, this fire went down, not a single grass was born, and the 1,000 sergeants were all buried in the fire without exception, and the screams were endless.

After General Lu received the news that the official army had burned Pantuo Road, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked about the news of the 1,000 sergeants inside, and the little colonel who reported said with tears in his eyes: "More than 1,000 brothers in Pantuo Road, all ...... All of them were burned in the fire, and not one of them came out. ”

After hearing this, General Lu collapsed directly to the chair, as if he had been drained of all his strength, and immediately ordered people to beat drums in front of the conference hall to gather the generals, anxious about the leaders.

After a while, everyone walked in one after another, each sat in their own positions, and their faces were not very good-looking, and when they came, they also knew the news that the official army burned Pantuo Road and the 1,000 soldiers of Liangshan were killed in the fire.

Seeing that the people were almost coming, Lu Jiang said: "All the brothers have heard about it, the official army burned Pantuo Road, more than 1,000 brothers in my Liangshan died in the fire, and no one escaped, this is the largest number of deaths in Liangshan, as the commander and military advisor, I can't escape the blame, I will personally go to my brother to ask for guilt after my brother comes back." ”

"The military advisor's words are wrong, no one thought that the official army could be so vicious, and now that Brother Chao Gai has not returned from the south, the imperial army is pressing the border, and the top priority is to work together to repel the imperial army, not to ask for guilt here." As soon as General Lu's words fell, Tang Bin next to him spoke.

After Tang Bin finished speaking, everyone present also persuaded one after another, General Lu pressed his hand, and then said: "Xiao Ke knows the priorities, let's not talk about these things for the time being, what good strategies do the generals have to break the enemy?" ”

"Pantuo Road has failed, the imperial army will be in the city tomorrow, I have enough grain and grass in Dulonggang, enough to fight a war of attrition with them, and then rest Liangshan to cut off its grain and grass, when the time comes, the official army will retreat without a fight, and we will be able to break the official army before and after Liangshan." After General Lu finished speaking, Xu Ning got up and said.

As soon as Xu Ning's words fell, Hua Rong next to him said: "Although this plan is good, but Guan Sheng is not an ordinary general, Guan Yunchang, the king of Wu'an, is a descendant of the family, and he has been familiar with the war book since he was a child, so can Guan Sheng let me wait?" ”

"Yes, the younger brother has also been an officer in Pudong, and Guan Sheng is still a righteous brother, this person is resourceful, familiar with military books, not a good person, we should be careful." Tang Bin said.

General Lu heard Tang Bin's words, his eyes lit up at the moment, and he said: "Xiao Ke has a plan to break the official army, but he still needs the cooperation of Tang Bin's brothers." ”

"Military advisor, please speak, as long as you use the younger brother's, Tang Bin will never give up." Tang Bin immediately got up and hugged his fist towards Lu Jiang and said.

"But no, General Tang Bin and Guan Sheng are righteous brothers, so they will go down the mountain to pretend to surrender Guan Sheng, win Guan Sheng's trust, when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, the official army will be defeated, the key to this plan is how to win Guan Sheng's trust, this will use Teacher Xu's strategy, notify the brothers on Liangshan to cooperate, sneak attack on the grain and grass camp at night, then Tang Bin brothers can tell Guan Sheng about this matter, so that they can win Guan Sheng's trust, once this plan is successful, the day of the defeat of the official army is not far away." Lu Jiang said calmly, only the glittering light in his eyes could see that he was excited at this time.

Everyone nodded and praised General Lu's strategy, Tang Bin patted his chest and said, "No problem, military advisor, this matter will be handed over to the junior brother, without further ado, the junior brother will go down the mountain after dark." ”

In a blink of an eye, it was dark, and at that moment, Tang Bin took a steel gun, rode on a horse, and secretly descended Dulonggang from the path in the back mountain and came to the outside of the official army camp.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already crossed the Pantuo Road, and camped directly under the city of Dulonggang, Tang Bin did not wait for the gate, but was discovered by the sergeant of the official army patrolling the night, and surrounded Tang Bin at the moment, led by a deputy general, looked Tang Bin up and down, and asked at the moment: "Who is coming?" ”

"Go tell your boss Dadao Guan Sheng, just say that the old man of Pudong is visiting." Tang Bin sat on the horse and said.
