Text Chapter 219 Liangshan's First Battle of Qingzhou (2)
"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, and the others were not to be outdone, and rushed forward with a roar.
The news of the siege of the city by the Liangshan army and horses had reached Murong Yanda and Song Jiang, and Murong Yanda immediately ordered Song Jiang to defend the city gate with all his might, and immediately asked for help from the surrounding state capitals.
Song Jiang didn't dare to slack off after getting the news, although he had already left a way back, but after all, he was the commander of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, Song Jiang's efforts over the years were not to be promoted to serve the country, and he finally got this position, he was really reluctant, and it was also a last resort to fall into the grass again.
At that moment, Song Jiang took all the remaining men and horses in the city to the city wall, and at this time the Liangshan rebels had begun to attack the city, the cloud ladder was erected, and Mi Sheng, who rushed to the bottom of the city, parted the big axe, tied it with a rope around his waist, and tightened it tightly, and then reached out and grabbed the ladder and climbed up.
Behind him, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun organized the sergeants of the Divine Arrow Battalion, set up a formation, and shot towards the city wall with the Divine Arm Bow and Eight Bull Crossbows, covering for the siege troops, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun, the two archers, opened their bows left and right, as long as the outcropping Song army was named by the two of them and reported to the King of Hades.
Song Jiang and the others took the soldiers and horses to the city wall, and they were pressed by the Liangshan Divine Arrow Battalion and couldn't raise their heads, let alone counterattack, at the moment Song Jiang looked at the surrounding situation, there were already Liangshan's military horses rushing to the city wall, the momentum was violent, the Song Army was not an opponent at all, especially one of the leaders with a big axe, killing gods, like entering a no-man's land.
"Brother, the brothers can't stand it, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, let's withdraw, if you don't leave, there are more and more Liangshan soldiers and horses, and when they open the city gate, the Liangshan army will enter the city, and we won't be able to leave." At this time, Song Qing ran over with his head down, came to Song Jiang, and said loudly.
Song Jiang thought for a while, struggled for a while, and then said, "Withdraw." After speaking, he turned around and ran down, and came to the city to gather his personal guards, which had been formed since the release of Erlong Mountain, with a number of about five hundred people, all of whom were the elite of the elite, and they had always been led by the earth giant spirit Han Bolong.
Han Bolong had already gotten the news, and took people to occupy the west gate of Qingzhou early, and when he saw a group of people surrounding Song Jiang coming over, he hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, and gave the horses that had been prepared long ago to Song Jiang and others, and then escorted Song Jiang out of Qingzhou City and went straight to Cangzhou.
Just after Song Jiang left, Murong Xing also arrived at Taishou Mansion and saw Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, after Murong Yanda knew that the thieves of Liangshan had attacked the city, he was anxious and restless to go for a meeting in his study, did he still look outside, and when he saw Murong Xing coming over, Murong Yanda hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did Song Jiang hold the city wall? Did the Liangshan thieves retreat? Or are reinforcements coming from nearby state capitals? ”
Murong Xing shook his head and said solemnly: "My lord, the thieves in Liangshan are extremely fierce, the army defending the city can't resist it, and the city wall may be lost at any time, so Song Jiang fled with his men and horses as soon as he saw that the general trend was gone, and now we can't stay in Qingzhou City, so we will leave immediately." ”
"Okay, let's go, let's go." Murong Yanda was already panicked when he heard this, he was born as a civilian official, where he had experienced war, and now his life was not guaranteed, where could he take care of anything else, and he only thought about escaping.
At that moment, Murong Yanda and Murong Xing were escorted by the pro-soldier guards out of the city from the north gate, and went straight to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Liangshan captured Qingzhou City with only four infantry battalions, and the Ma Army and the Lion and Tiger Battalion did not move a single sword, which also made the main and deputy generals of several battalions a little unhappy, but there was no way, Qingzhou was broken, and they were now surrounded by Chao Gai into the city.
On the way into the city, Chao Gai instructed Wu Yong, the military advisor next to him: "My Liangshan righteous army has captured Qingzhou City, and I can't stay for a long time, so the top priority is to thoroughly investigate the large and small treasury of Qingzhou City, and everything that can be loaded back to Liangshan. ”
"There are also corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Qingzhou, landlords and bullies, they are powerful all the year round, and they must have accumulated a lot of wealth by looting the people.
"Let Lu Zhishen, Mi Sheng and Wu Song guard the four gates of Qingzhou, strictly defend, Qin Ming and Hua Rong to calm the people, strengthen patrols in the city, and do not let some small people take advantage of the chaos to disturb the security of the city, once they are discovered, they will not be forgiven."
"All the other battalions have joined in the matter of clearing the treasury, and let Qin Ming be responsible for finding out the ruffians and evildoers in the captive army, and the others will be strictly guarded, it is best to let them join our Liangshan Righteous Army; Let Hu Yanzhuo be in charge of recruiting soldiers in the city, as long as there are no bad habits, remember that those who are educated, understand medical skills, have skills, and are strong in martial arts must let them go to Liangshan. ”
Chao Gai instructed one by one, Wu Yong next to him listened carefully, nodding yes, and after Chao Gai finished speaking, he did not delay and directly took someone to arrange the task, after all the things were ordered, the Liangshan Righteous Army moved, cleaned the battlefield, recruited troops and horses, put up a list to calm the people, checked the treasury, punished the traitor and eliminated the evil, and was busy in full swing, but Chao Gai was idle.
Seeing that there was a shortage of people everywhere, Chao Gai asked the Wolf Tooth Battalion and the Guards Battalion to also go up to help, leaving only the street rat Zhang San and the grass snake Li Si and ten sturdy guards, and the others were all sent out.
After resting for a night, Chao Gai got up early, when he had some breakfast, simply cleaned up, and then took Zhang San and Li Si from the Taishou Mansion to come out, there was nothing to do, wandering around to check, although Wu Yong was not so good at making suggestions, but the ability to govern the place was still powerful, just one night's effort, Qingzhou City let him settle down, early in the morning, the large and small vendors in the city were also open for business, and there were pedestrians who wanted to come on the street, which was also lively.
