Chapter 7 The Left Road defeats Song Jiang
After winning the first battle, Lin Chong was not blinded by hatred, so he forgot his responsibility as a pioneer, Gao Lian fled back to Gaotang Prefecture, and he also straightened out his men and horses and retreated like a whirlwind. Ou Peng and Yang Lin were originally instructed by Ximen Qing to stop Lin Chong when he was aggressive, and they were all relieved.
With the light horses, Lin Chong picked an open field in the south of Gaotang Prefecture that was not near the water and not concave, and rested a little. The terrain here is just right for the army to be stationed, Lin Chong discussed with Ou Peng and Yang Lin, where to leave the main road, where to leave the branch road, where to set up a baggage area, and where to set up a garrison...... After being confident, he sent light cavalry to meet the Song Jiang army, and sent a scout horse to Gaotang Prefecture to investigate.
Song Jiang had to report the great news, and the army and horses marched to the pioneer selection haode camp, and arranged the army in an orderly manner according to the early haode plan. Song Jiang was amazed and said to Lin Chong: "Lin Jiao's victory shows that he is heroic; Set up camp and show the hills and valleys in the chest - the real general! ”
Lin Chong is Pu Zhong's character, where is he willing to take credit? Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Song Jiang praised it falsely. These skills of the younger brother are just a superficial learning in our martial arts hall in Liangshan, why worry about it? ”
When Song Jiang heard this, he was full of unpleasant feelings, so he changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, Lin Jiaotou fought in the city, he was cheap and courageous, he was tired of marching today, and he stopped his troops to recuperate, and early tomorrow morning, he just broke through Gaotang Prefecture and saved the firewood officials!" ”
Dai Zong admonished: "Brother, don't be careless. That Gao Lian is a left-handed person, who is deeply evil, and he must be cautious when he fights tomorrow. ”
Song Jiang agreed in his mouth, but said in his heart: "Lin Chong's 1,000 men and horses will be broken, don't believe that I can't pick up 8,000 men and horses!" ”
So the three armies rested. Wu Yong was afraid that the officials and soldiers would steal the camp and rob the village, so he secretly arranged it, but there was nothing wrong all night.
At dawn on the second day, the Song Jiang army pulled out the village and sent it to Gaotang Prefecture. Before they arrived at the city, they saw that the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was high, and the city was deserted, and there was no one in the city. Song Jiang was surprised when he saw it, and sent a loud minion to shout: "Cheap dog thief, quickly sacrifice the firewood officials and spare your life!" ”
Before the words fell, a cannon was heard, the shouts on the city were like thunder, the flags and swords and guns were erected together, and then the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, and a group of officers and soldiers swarmed out to form a formation. Gao Lian went to the prefect's civil official to dress up, his hair was scattered, he was covered with soap-colored gossip robes, he hung a bronze medal of the beast on his left hand, he carried the Tai'a sword behind his back, and rode a horse with his feet, surrounded by three hundred self-righteous soldiers, with a slight light in his eyes, and when he came to the front of the formation, he pointed at the people and horses of Song Jiang and scolded: "The people and grass cowards who can't kill are endless!" ”
Song Jiang was furious, turned around and shouted, "Which brother and I caught this thief first?" ”
Lin Chong took the lead, rushed out of the front again, and shouted loudly: "The thief stepped forward to accept his life!" ”
When the people of Gaotang Prefecture saw Lin Chong, everyone was terrified, and they were all frightened, and their positions suddenly loosened. Gao Lian saw that the situation was not good, so he instructed Guo Jingdao, the leader of the Divine Soldiers: "Senior Brother Guo, the forest thieves are brave and invincible. I'll cast a spell here, and you wait to step forward bravely, just catch Song Jiang, it's the first work! ”
Guo Jing agreed, waved the soap carving flag, and everyone of the three hundred divine soldiers rose up. I saw Gao Lian pull out the Tai'a sword behind him, and there were words in his mouth, and he shouted: "Disease!" On the soap carving flag held by Guo Jing, a black gas suddenly rolled up, and the black qi bones grew when they saw the wind, and in an instant, they were already covering the sky and the sun. Gao Lian pointed the sword at the Song Jiang array again, and the black air suddenly fell like a landslide and a gorge for a long time, and swooped down towards the Song Jiang array. Song Jiang's people and horses, for a while, they couldn't see their five fingers, and they couldn't look at each other, and when they sat down, the war horses roared even more chaotically, and they were suddenly in chaos.
Gao Lian saw that the opportunity could not be lost, so he ordered the army to beat the drum, Guo Jing led three hundred divine soldiers to march together when they heard the sound, jumped over, and fought boldly into the Song Jiang main formation. The officers and soldiers of Gaotang Prefecture also followed the battle with the wind, and when they went up to cover up, they only rushed to the Song River, and they could not care about each other, so they could only flee in defeat.
Gao Lian saw that the battle was a big victory and had won a lot, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Guo Jing was puzzled: "Senior brother, at this time, the thief is defeated, and it is appropriate to chase after him, why Mingjin?" ”
Zhi laughed proudly twice, and said honestly: "Senior Brother Guo doesn't know, Di Qing, a famous general in this dynasty, is a person who does not chase the poor, so he often has big victories, and there are no small defeats, so he is a famous general in the world." I won't chase these grass cowards today, which is in line with the righteousness of the art of war. Anyway, there are Chai Jin who is imprisoned here, so I don't have to worry that they won't come to die! ”
Guo Jing listened to it and said flatteringly: "Senior brother is smart! In the future, if you take this group of Liangshan grass thieves, the senior brother will also be a famous general! ”
Gao Lian listened, and was so beautiful that he hahadaxiao, so he plucked up victory, sang triumphant songs, and collected his troops back to Gaotang Prefecture.
Song Jiang's men and horses were defeated and lost, and fled back to the village to count the men and horses, and folded more than 1,000 people, which made Song Jiang's heart drip blood, and secretly complained: "These people and horses are all the old foundations developed by me when I joined Qingfeng Mountain, who would like to be buried in the hands of Gao Lian today!" High thief! I am inseparable from you! ”
Fortunately, all the brothers are there, no one was lost, only Wu Junshi fled in a hurry, and lost the folding fan on the battlefield, I heard that there is Su Shi's handwritten inscription on it, which is a priceless treasure of the literati. Because he was afraid of breaking the spirit of the three armies, he didn't dare to sway these tears in public, so he could only flow backwards into his stomach.
Song Jiang raised the account, gathered the crowd to discuss, and discussed the method of breaking the high price, but he never got the essentials. When he was helpless, a little minion Luo Xingchong rushed to report: "The leader of Ximen has arrived with soldiers and horses." ”
Today was a frustration, everyone was depressed, and when they heard that Ximenqing had come to the front enemy, from the leader to the pawn, their morale was sharply boosted. All the leaders rushed out to greet them, and Song Jiangwu sat still and looked at each other, all of them unhappy.
But I heard the sound of laughter outside the tent, and then everyone took Ximen Qing in like the moon in the stars, and when Song Jiang looked at it, there were five brothers in the crowd, including Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, Zhang Shun of Lang Libai, Zhang Heng of the boat, Jiao Tongwei out of the hole, and Tong Meng of the mirage. Song Jiang was overjoyed, ignored Ximenqing, and asked Li Jundao first: "Is the grain ship also here?" ”
Li Jun replied, "The fleet is already in the Tuxiao River. ”
Song Jiang asked again: "Is there nothing to do on the road?" ”
This time, it was Zhang Heng who smiled and said, "With our Siquan brother protecting all the way, what can we do?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Song Jiang added another big pimple in his heart, and he stopped paying attention to everyone at the moment, turned back to Ximen Qing and smiled: "Brother has worked hard all the way. ”
At this time, Song Jiang and Wu Yong of Ximen Qing in Xiangshang saluted: "I have seen Brother Gongming and the military advisor, but I don't know what happened to the former enemy?" ”
Listening to Ximen Qingjian's question, Song Jiangwu looked at each other, and Wu Yong coughed dryly: "Brothers have worked hard from afar, sit down and talk first." ”
Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to add chairs and sit down, Wu Yong organized the words in his stomach, and then used a more euphemistic tone to tell him about today's battle, and Zuihou sighed: "Gao Lian Zuodao, it is really invincible!" This Gaotang Prefecture is difficult to break, and it is difficult for Chai Daguan to be saved, but what should I do? ”
Song Jiang said: "Our Siquan brothers are the reincarnation of Tianxing, what are you afraid of?" Just wave your hand lightly on the battlefield and discipline the cheap death without a place to be buried! It's getting late today, and tomorrow I will invite the Siquan brothers to lead the people of the headquarters to fight, break the high price, and take the high Tang State, it will be as easy as a hand! ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Brother Gongming praised me too!" The younger brother is not talented, and there is no way to break the left way, so he has to recommend one person, if you want to win Gaolian, break Gao Tangzhou, and save the firewood officials, this person must be! ”
The military tent said in unison: "Who is this person?" ”
Ximen Qing stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "Mr. Yiqing, Gongsun Sheng, the dragon of the clouds!" ”
Wu Yong slapped his thigh: "Oops! How did I forget Mr. Ichikiyo? Brother Dai Zong, didn't you say last time that you had already heard about Mr. Yiqing's letter? Where is he now? ”
Dai Zongdao: "Only under the rule of the Shangwu Army of the Liao State, I live under the Erxian Mountain in Jiugong County. Because he changed his name to be a scavenger, he didn't visit him before. If it weren't for the coincidence that the younger brother met his neighbor ......"
Song Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and interrupted Dai Zongdao: "Since you have a clue, brother can go to the foot of Erxian Mountain and invite Mr. Yiqing here." You must know that if you delay for one more day, the officials of Chai will suffer for one more day, it matters! Matter! ”
Ximenqing listened to it and volunteered: "Before Mr. Yiqing left the mountain, he had a night of earnest conversation with his younger brother. The younger brother is willing to follow Brother Dai Zong to the Erxian Mountain, and he will invite Mr. Yiqing to come. ”
Song Jiangwu listened to each other, looking at each other again, wanting not to ask Ximen Qing to go, and fearing that Dai Zong and Gongsun Sheng would not have a deep friendship, and it would be difficult to invite the big driver, so after thinking about it, he had to reluctantly nod and agree.
Li Kui listened to it for a long time, and then jumped up and said: "I have been bored in the cottage for many days, and I will lose the battle when I go off the mountain, but I will not give in to the iron bull!" This time, please ask Gongsun Sheng to be a Taoist priest, and I will also follow! Otherwise, stay in this camp, but you will not suffocate the dead! ”
Dai Zong shouted: "The Iron Bull must not be rude! Brother Pei Xuan is not here, do you dare to be presumptuous? ”
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Dai Zong's divine practice, can you bring two people?" ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Dai Zong was surprised: "Although I brought two people, the iron bull was reckless......
Ximenqing shook his hand and said: "Take him there, it will be useful!" ”
Li Kui was overjoyed and shouted, "Good Brother Siquan! My brother is the reincarnation of Tianxing, and he said that my iron bull is useful, and my iron bull must be useful! But you can't be wrong! ”
Wu Yong was stunned and said: "Brother Siquan, if you take this guy, do you want to tie up that Gongsun Sheng's old mother and force him to come?" ”
Ximen Qing daxiao said: "We Liangshan heroes, how can we do such a thing that is not out of the way?" ”
Wu Yong's face turned red and asked, "What does that brother want?" ”
Ximenqing raised a finger and said mysteriously: "But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed!" "This is exactly what it is:
Because of the demons of the Left Dao Sect, Fang Wu crossed the original stream. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
