Text Chapter 218 Liangshan's First Battle of Qingzhou (1)
"Amitabha, Brother Gongming don't want to say this, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and heroes are not judged by temporary success or failure, I believe that Deng Long's brothers will also think so, and the top priority is to think about how to deal with the next Liangshan army." Pig iron Buddha Cui Daocheng recited a Buddha horn and said.
"Yes, brother, now that the siege of Qingzhou has not been lifted, my brother is not the time to blame himself, the Liangshan thieves will come soon, with the old and weak soldiers who are less than two thousand under my men, how can we resist, we have a good way to retreat, so as not to be caught by the thieves in Liangshan when the time comes." Song Qing stood up and calmly analyzed.
After listening to Song Qing's words, Song Jiang nodded in agreement, and then said: "I have a few friends I know in Cangzhou, and I have fallen into the grass in Yanshan, there are four kings on the mountain, the golden retriever Shi Wei, the poisonous fire dragon Yang Lie, the interception general Deng Tianbao and the iron spear king Dashou, these four people are all loyal and righteous heroes, in the past, I have also come and gone with them, and I have written many times to let me go, all of which have been dismissed, I might as well go to Yanshan to rest, and when the strength is strong, it is not too late to kill back." ”
As soon as Song Jiang said this, everyone was naturally overjoyed, and they all opened their mouths to agree, they were all mountain kings who occupied the mountains as kings, where could they stand the constraints in the barracks, they had long wanted to go back to the mountains again to rob their homes and rob their houses, and they were at ease, but Song Jiang was not good at saying it clearly, and they didn't want Song Jiang to take the initiative to say it today, so they were naturally very happy.
Song Jiang and Murong Yanda began to prepare with their own thoughts, and early the next morning, the Liangshan Righteous Army suddenly appeared outside Qingzhou City, and the gods descended from the sky, so frightened that the defending army said that the Liangshan Righteous Army was helped by the gods, and they knelt down and kowtowed, until Song Jiang and others personally went to the city wall to suppress and stop it, which was improved, but the army that was already low in momentum did not want to fight, and ran away if it could, and was lazy if it could.
After the Liangshan Righteous Army came to the outside of Qingzhou City, Chao Gai did not immediately order the siege of the city, but set up camp on the spot, reorganized the army for battle, and the huge Qingzhou City was high and deep, and it could not be captured overnight, so Chao Gai was not in a hurry, and first asked Shi Qian to sneak into Qingzhou City with a scout team to explore the military situation.
Shi Qian set off two days in advance, it stands to reason that he should go out of the city and come back now, Chao Gai sat in the handsome tent and thought, when he was thinking, as Chao Gai expected, a soldier came to report that Shi Qian had come back and wanted to see Chao Gai.
"Let Brother Shiqian come in." Chao Gai said hurriedly.
The soldier took the order and turned around and walked out, and after a while, Shi Qian walked in from outside, and when he came to the tent, he was about to salute Chao Gai, so Chao Gai stopped him, and said: "My brother, you don't have to make these false courtesies, sit down, this is the tea that has just been served." ”
"Yes, thank you, brother." Shi Qian was moved for a while, and after thanking Chao Gai, he found a chair close to Chao Gai and sat down, and drank a large bowl of tea with Gu Dong Gu Dong, and then said: "Brother, the little brother was ordered to sneak into Qingzhou City to investigate the enemy's situation, and really let the little brother hear and see a lot, that Murong Yanda has already begun to prepare to escape, there are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, the real elite is less than 500 people, and most of the patrols on the city wall are coerced by the people in the city to pretend, With my Liangshan army, we are fully able to capture Qingzhou City in one battle. ”
"Great." Chao Gai heard the words of the times, slapped the table table happily, and immediately commanded outside: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the rumbling drums outside the battle, and the drums sounded three ways, and then the leaders of the camp all arrived in Shuai Xiang, and the people who watched were all there, and Chao Gai let Shi Qian tell the news he had discovered.
After Shi Qian finished speaking, everyone was also happy, Wu Yong smiled slightly, and said: "In this way, it is not enough to take Qingzhou, we should attack the city as soon as possible, firstly, so as not to send a large army to help again, and secondly, the grain and grass in the mountains will be a little poor in the next few months." ”
"Brother, that old thief Murong and I have a hatred of the two lands one day, three rivers and four seas, and we don't share the sky, and the younger brother asks for his life as a pioneer." Qin Ming stood up abruptly and said with a flushed face.
Chao Gai waved his hand, first let Qin Ming calm down for a while, and then said: "Brother Qin Ming, don't be impatient, your battalion is the cavalry of the Ma Army, and there has been no reason for cavalry to attack the city since ancient times, so once you catch that Murong Yanda, how about letting the brother slash this thief?" ”
Qin Ming still didn't give up, and said at the moment: "The cavalry can be led by Huang Xin, and the last general is willing to follow the infantry to fight." ”
Chao Gai saw that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, nodded, and said: "Okay, Qin Ming, Wu Song, Bian Xiang, Mi Sheng, and Yutai listen to the order," Tomorrow morning, he will lead the four battalions of infantry to attack the city with all his might, there is no main and secondary division, it is all the main attack, and Qingzhou City must be taken before noon. ”
"Yes." The five of them stood up and said eagerly.
"The rest of the people wait, wait outside the city with me, and as soon as the city gate opens, they rush in and capture Murong and Song Jiang alive." Chao Gai continued to order.
"Order." The rest also stood up and received the commandment.
The book said that it was cut short, and early the next morning, the Liangshan rebels set up a formation outside the city, Chao Gai looked at the Song army on the city wall, turned his head to Qin Ming and said: "A few brothers, pay attention to safety, I am waiting here for the news of the victory of a few brothers." ”
"Hahaha, brother don't worry, I can't take this Qingzhou City, I, Qin Ming, will come to see you." Qin Ming laughed heartily and said.
"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother's double knife is going to kill today." Wu Song pulled out the snowflake iron double knife behind his back, and said eagerly.
Chao Gai nodded and said: "This is what I want to instruct, most of the people on the city wall are innocent people, you must be good at identification, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, my Liangshan heroes are not the gang of robbers and corrupt officials who kill people without blinking, after entering the city, they are not allowed to destroy people's houses, burn and loot, and those who violate the order will be punished immediately." ”
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, Chao Gai pulled out the sword on his waist suddenly, shouted, and said: "Brothers, the city is broken today, and when Qingzhou is broken, I will celebrate your achievements!" Kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The momentum of the Liangshan rebels is like a rainbow.
"Hahaha, happy! This city-breaking head attack is my Qin Ming's, no one should rob it! Qin Ming sat upright on his horse and said with a smile in his eyes.
"Wow, yes, where is your turn, brothers, we infantry brothers can't let a cavalry leader rob the first prize, if Qin Ming robs it, how can I train you well when Lao Tzu goes back." Mi Sheng said to the group of sergeants behind him.
Chao Gai looked at the Liangshan Righteous Army full of fighting spirit, and he was also in high spirits, so he turned over and dismounted, came to the war drums, picked up the drumsticks, and rumbled the war drums.
"Brothers, Brother Tianwang personally beats the drums, this battle will be won, kill!" Bian Xiang shouted, picked up the big axe, and rushed out first.
