Chapter 213: The Great Battle under Linqu City (4)
With the escape of Song Jiang, the Song army was defeated, and no Song army resisted, and the Liangshan rebels pursued closely behind, cleaning the battlefield and collecting prisoners.
Soon, the first head-to-head confrontation between Song Jiang and Chao Gai ended with Song Jiang's escape, after cleaning the battlefield, the Liangshan army withdrew to the barracks, Chao Gaisheng captured Hu Yanzhuo, Wei Dingguo killed Deng Yun, Shan Tinggui killed Zhu Da Niang, Qin Ming killed Kong Ming, Mi Sheng killed Deng Long, Li Zhong killed Zheng Tianshou, Hua Rong killed Wang Meng with an arrow, and the rest eliminated nearly 3,000 Song troops, captured more than 4,500 Song troops, captured 500 horses, and countless other ordnance and armor.
Song Jiang led the remnants of the defeated army back to Linqu City, and ordered people to count, after this battle, they directly lost more than 8,000 people, and now there are less than 5,000 people left, and some of them are generally injured, and the momentum is sluggish, the most distressing thing for Song Jiang is that in this battle, his apprentice Maotou Xing Kong Ming and several of his brothers white-faced Langjun Zheng Tianshou, the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, the mountain patrol tiger Wang Meng and Deng Yun and his wife were all killed on the battlefield outside the city; Kong Liang of the Duxing Mars, Cui Daocheng of the Pig Iron Buddha, Sha Mohai, the General of the Soul Dementor, Yan Shun of the Jinmao Tiger, Wang Ying of the Bantam Tiger and Li Ying of the Sky Eagle are all injured, which can be said to be a great injury to the vitality.
The morale of the Song army here is low, not to mention, on the other hand, the Liangshan Righteous Army camp is also happy, Chao Gai let Liu Tang camp escort more than 4,000 captives back to Dulonggang for labor reform, now Dulonggang is in ruins, construction is everywhere, the most lacking is labor, with the addition of these 4,000 people can alleviate a lot, and also let them wash away their crimes, most of these people are following Song Jiang down in Erlong Mountain, when they robbed their homes in Erlong Mountain, they did evil, and it is time for them to repay.
After arranging the follow-up things, everyone returned to the camp one after another, Chao Gai Dama Golden Knife sat behind the handsome case, behind him the street rat Zhang San, the grass snake Li Si stood on the left and right guards, next to the military division Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, outside down is the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming, the double gun general Dong Ping, the golden gunner Xu Ning, the flower monk Lu Zhishen, Baoguang Rulai Deng Yuanjue, Nanli Taibao Shibao, the tiger head Taibao Yutai, the roadblock tiger Mi Sheng, the drunken tiger Wu Song, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, Xiao Yang Youji Pang Wanchun, the hater Bian Xiang and others, There are also the drummers in charge of intelligence, Zhu Fu, the smiling tiger in charge of logistics, and the newly recruited flying tiger Hu Cheng, Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo, and the holy water general Shan Tinggui, which can be said to be full of talents.
Chao Gai saw that the people were almost coming, and immediately pressed his hand to make everyone quiet, and then said: "Come on, go and invite General Huyan to the tent." ”
After Chao Gai finished speaking, after a short time, the curtain of the handsome tent was opened, and the two sergeants pushed and shoved Hu Yanzhuo and walked in, at this time, Hu Yanzhuo had long lost the brilliance of the original court general, the descendants of the Huyan family and the descendants of the Huyan family, Hu Yanzhuo, unkempt, blood still flowed on his arms, and the armor on his body had long been unknown, his face was black and purple, and his beard had fallen off half, how embarrassed and embarrassed he was.
Chao Gai waved his hand and let the two sergeants go down first, and then stepped forward to untie the rope on Hu Yanzhuo's body, and straightened the messy hair and clothes with his own hands, Hu Yanzhuo snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to pretend there, my Huyan family has been loyal to the country for generations, enjoying the court, and wants me to surrender, but there is no door." ”
"You are unreasonable, my brother sees that you are a good man, so he loosened the tie for you, but I didn't think that you were a dog biting Lu Dongbin and didn't know the hearts of good people." Shi Bao stood up and pointed at Hu Yanzhuo's nose and scolded.
As soon as Shi Bao's words fell, Mi Sheng next to him also stood up, grabbed Hu Yanzhuo's collar, and said: "Brother, like this guy, he has followed our Liangshan again and again, and he is still left to do something, just follow me and cut him down." ”
"Yes, brother, cut him!"
"Let this guy be arrogant and cut him." The others chimed in.
Chao Gai pulled Mi Sheng's hand that grabbed Hu Yanzhuo's collar away, glared at Mi Sheng, and then said: "General Hu Yan is a good man who stands up to the sky, he is different, don't I Liangshan heroes even have the heart to do this, you rammer Hugh want to be noisy and retreat." ”
Mi Sheng didn't dare to disobey Chao Gai's words, he glared at Hu Yanzhuo indignantly, and sat back in his seat angrily, not talking.
Seeing Mi Sheng go back, Chao Gai quieted everyone again, and then turned back to Hu Yanzhuo and said: "General Huyan, my brother is this character, just one point, let it be offended, I will make amends to you here first." ”
"Don't dare, I think what this brother said is reasonable, don't talk nonsense, just cut me off, what's the noise?" Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Chao Gai, snorted coldly, and said.
Chao Gai laughed, and then said: "Why did the general say this, since I Chao Gai loosened the general's bonds, I didn't think about killing the general, the general and rest assured, my Liangshan heroes have one thing to say, two to say two, why should the general be their accomplice to those traitorous ministers?" The court has no way, corrupt officials are rampant, why should the general be obsessed, it is better to go to Liangshan with us to gather righteousness, do the right thing for heaven, ask for the people's life, and not live this life in vain. ”
As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, he saw Hu Yanzhuo turn around suddenly, glared angrily, opened his mouth and scolded, and said: "I, Hu Yanzhuo, am the descendant of Hu Yanzan, the founder of the Iron Whip King, and my Hu Yan family has been an official in the court for generations. ”
"Wow, yes! I'm mad at me! Brother, what else are you talking to this guy? I'll do it for him! Mi Sheng's angry wow wow screamed, and he collapsed directly, and was about to rush up, so that Deng Yuanjue and Yutai next to him stopped him.
Liu Tang next to him couldn't get angry, and followed Mi Sheng and echoed: "Brother, you can say everything, this guy is like a stone in a thatched house, smelly and hard, what kind of tongue is wasted with him, just kill him." ”
"Huh Yan Zhuo! You are the tiger of the gate, my Huarong is not jumping out of the cracks in the stone, I am also the generation of the general, you are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, is my Huarong the villain? Qin Ming and me, you have witnessed what happened to Huang Xin, you tell me that we are loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but we were framed by the Song Jiang villain and the Murong dog thief, who is right and who is wrong? Hua Rong stood up, his eyes were red, and he pointed to Hu Yanzhuo's nose and said.
