The dawn of dawn, exuding ten thousand rays of glow, permeates the land of Qilu in early spring, which is extremely intoxicating.

A fully equipped and mighty army marched through the territory of Yunzhou on the north bank of Liangshanbo, but the shiny armor, sharp blades, majestic mounts, and high morale all showed the determination of this team to win. They walked neatly, facing the dawn, and stepped on the journey.

Looking carefully, except for the soldiers and horses of this battalion under the banner of "Hebei Jade Qilin", which is slightly immature, most of the other teams are composed of old Liangshan powerhouses. Not to mention that the soldiers have experienced a hundred battles, at least they have also experienced vicious battles, bitter battles, and even desperate battles, and their precious life experiences have quietly accumulated in these high-spirited young men, so that they have enough confidence to face a difficult predicament.

What's more, the goal this time is not very powerful. The so-called Gaotang Prefecture is only stationed in five battalions of infantry commanders, and there are only 2,500 people in the full fight, which is less than one-tenth of the Liangshan Rescue Army.

The reason why Wang Lun put on a posture of a lion fighting a rabbit this time has a lot to do with the last battle of the Daimyo's Mansion. The situation at that time was very similar to now, the goal was not strong, but the backup force that might follow should not be underestimated. And the pastoral guards of these two states are also very similar, Cai Jing behind Liang Zhongshu has been in charge of the government for many years, and can be said to be the head of the civil officials in the dynasty, and Gao Yu behind Gao Lian is not a vegetarian, but the most relied on by the official family to lead the army.

Gao Yu's current status is similar to that of the head of the Capital Military Region, but the Song Dynasty pursued a military policy of strong cadres and weak branches, and at least three to fifty percent of the country's forbidden army was concentrated on the ground of the Beijing Division, all of which were in charge of the henchmen of this official family when he did not ascend the throne (the Privy Council did not command the troops, but managed the transfer of troops). Moreover, Gao Yu also has nominal control over the local forbidden and box soldiers (a lot of power is shared by the state pastors), such a figure who is deeply trusted by the officials and the influence of the military and political chiefs of the state capitals cannot be underestimated, and Wang Lun has no reason to choose to ignore it.

Fortunately, the goal this time is not far from Liangshanbo. There is only one Yunzhou in the middle, located directly north of Liangshanbo, and the distance is only about 400 li, and the influence of Gaotang Prefecture in politics is far less than that of the Daimyofu. The combination of various factors made this well-prepared Liangshan army relaxed, vigilant and not nervous.

Shi Yong, the leader of the new mountain, observed this "own" team with great curiosity, feeling that everything was so fresh, as a native of the Daimyo Mansion, he thought he had seen some of the world. But the team in front of him undoubtedly gave him a shocking feeling.

"Brother Xu, I heard that my brother has only been on the grass for three or four years, and at the beginning, Liangshan was only a small hill with hundreds of people, how did he spell out such a family business in such a short time?" Shi Yong was undoubtedly very interested in Wang Lun's family history, and couldn't help but ask his fellow villager Xu Guanzhong.

Xu Guanzhong smiled and glanced at the energetic armored warriors beside him. "Everyone has an answer to this question, no matter who you ask, I'm afraid that the result will be different!" When you stay in the cottage for a long time, you should understand! ”

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong had a lot of feelings in his words, Shi Yong nodded as if he didn't understand. Suddenly, he was a little worried: "Our twenty or thirty leaders brought out the whole gang, what should we do about the cottage?" ”

"What's that? The people and horses who went down the mountain this time were less than half of the cottage horses and infantry troops, and none of the sailors came out, and there were two military advisors Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu at home to take care of them. The imperial court is to send another army of 20,000 or 30,000 people over, and the brothers in the cottage can also bite off their flesh! Xu Guanzhong laughed proudly and replied.

"Good boy! In the past, I only listened to the rumors of the rivers and lakes to break Dengzhou at night. Thousands of miles back from Wang Qing, breaking the coalition army of several states in Hebei, it turns out that these are all true, it is really better to see than to hear! Shi Yong shook his head and sighed.

"The uncle and nephew of the Zou family led thousands of men and horses to be stationed in Yizhou, you know this! I guess you don't know, we still have three battalions of nearly 10,000 horses deployed near the left of the Goryeo Kingdom, some time ago they were defeated, if you don't go to Gaotang Prefecture to save the Chai Daguan this time, I'm afraid that the hard days of the Goryeo Kingdom will come! ”

Xu Guanzhong has always believed in Wang Lun's vision of people, and at this time, seeing that he surpassed his fellow villager as the leader of the cottage, he believed that he was definitely not a two-faced person, so he did not hide the basic situation of these cottages between words.

"Let's go to Fanguo!?" Shi Yong was completely shocked this time, whether it was on the rivers and lakes or Chai Jinzhuang, he didn't receive a trace of wind at all in advance.

"This is just the beginning!" Xu Guanzhong glanced up at the rising sun and said thoughtfully.

Shi Yong struggled to digest the information he had received from Xu Guanzhong, looking at the various elements around him that made him feel fresh, and at the moment he felt that his two eyes were completely insufficient.

However, unlike Shi Yong, who had just arrived, the people of Yunzhou should be accustomed to seeing Liangshan military horses coming in and out, but at this time, everyone was still interested and stopped to watch. Because it was a sudden encounter, everyone was a little caught off guard, otherwise in the face of the Liangshan soldiers who were like a family, there would be no less scenes of eating rice pots.

"Arrogant, too arrogant!" I saw two middle-aged scribes on the side of the road with three companions, five of them on their own side, and one of them sighed in a low voice, "Master, I'm afraid we'll jump into the fire pit this time!" ”

The middle-aged scribe, who looked slightly younger, sighed noncommittally and muttered, "Not really! You see that Liangshan is a stone's throw away from the city of Yunzhou, but he has never broken the city, even if the imperial army failed in the crusade a year ago, he did not take the opportunity to seize the city. At this time, their army went north, and it seemed that they were going to Hebei, and they had nothing to do with my Yunzhou Qiu! If he is borrowing food, why should he go far and near? It seems that these strongmen have rules to follow, let's try to understand their thoughts, which will be of great benefit to us in the future to protect the territory and the people! ”

"Master, look at the people here, where is the need for us to protect the territory and the people?" The middle-aged man next to him obviously had some different opinions, and at this time he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The woman dares to watch on the side of the road with her child in her arms, and she has no fear. It's really closer to seeing a strongman than seeing the court, you say that such people ......"

"The ancients had a saying, 'If you abuse me, you will take revenge, and if you touch me, you will be behind!' The people are not wrong, but it is wrong for us, the officials who are close to the people! The middle-aged scribe shook his head, correcting the man beside him.

The middle-aged man didn't argue, just looked left and right, and reminded carefully: "Master, let's hurry into the city, this Liangshan strongman is the same to the people, but he is only afraid of the court officials, and it is useless to stay here!" ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded when he heard this, couldn't help but glance back at this kind of team, sighed, put his hands behind his back, and threw himself on the east road.

Just because there were many onlookers on the roadside, no one noticed these five people with special identities. Let's say that the Liangshan Rescue Army traveled on the road for more than ten days, and when there were still twenty miles away from the city of Gaotang Prefecture, the army set up camp.

"This Gao Lian is a spirit, he closed the city gate a few days ago, only opened for an hour every day, and only allowed to go out and not enter, the city is forbidden, and the box army guards day and night, and he can't find his flaws for a while!"

Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong discussed and instructed everyone: "Early tomorrow morning, the army will drive to the city, and see if he should fight, if he blindly can't retreat, let's find a way!" ”

When everyone saw this, they all took their leave and prepared to go, Xu Guanzhong saw Wang Lun bowing his head and pondering, and asked, "If the brothers of the Diting Camp can't get in, does my brother have to invite Leader Ling Zhen and the brothers of the engineering battalion to go down the mountain?" ”

"The weapon of the country cannot be shown! If the court knows that we have a sharp weapon to overturn the giant city and uncover a piece of paper, even if the official family is mediocre, they will definitely do their best to spare the whole country, except for me! Furthermore, let's prepare gunpowder according to the new formula, if you want to blow up the city wall, you have to spend thousands or thousands of catties each time, and you have to dig a tunnel to the city wall, which is very laborious. In my opinion, the time is still not ripe! ”

Wang Lun shook his head, he went out of the mountain this time, he had no intention of taking Ling Zhen and the engineering battalion down the mountain together, and at present, the cottage has also saved thousands of black powder made by the new recipe, and it is still ready to be saved up and used on the battlefield in a foreign country.

Xu Guanzhong thought carefully for a moment when he heard this, and deeply agreed with Wang Lun's point of view, and said: "That is the case, if it is not possible to understand it thoroughly, we might as well attack, at present, the infantry army of Liangshanbo Battalion has no actual combat experience in attacking the city head-on, and at this time, it is just time to practice in Gaotang Prefecture, where there are few soldiers in this city!" ”

The two discussed, and Xu Guanzhong ordered people to cut down trees overnight, build siege equipment, and prepare for the siege in the coming day.

……

Gao Tang Prefecture, which was besieging the city, was enveloped by a nervous feeling. At this time, the atmosphere in the state prison was even worse than this, and the little cells were like ants on a hot pot, and they were uneasy. Although Liangshan Boqiu did not commit any crimes, but that was for ordinary people, they were prisoners, because of their profession, they had a bad reputation, not to mention that now there is a great god living in the prison, after all, everyone knows why the soldiers and horses outside the city came from.

But seeing a figure at this time, he came out of the Zhizhou Mansion and went back to the state prison, and there were people who knew him on the way, all of whom called him "Lin Jie level" with playful expressions, but there was no joy or anger on the face of this Lin Jie level, but he nodded all the way, and finally came to the death row where the former emperor Sun Cangzhou Chai Jin was imprisoned. I'll be on my way! (To be continued......)
