Water Margin Chapter 18 A big victory
Li Qi abandoned his men and fled in embarrassment, both scared and worried.
It can be said that I hate it so much, I saved my life by running, but my future is gone, isn't it?
"What to do?
Just go back like that?
Where is the face of Pontus?
No, you can't just leave with your pocket.
I will take back the prisoners, and take back the glory that is mine. Thinking of this, Li Qi pondered for a moment, then slapped his horse and went straight to Qingfeng Village.
For the sake of his own future, Li Qi can be regarded as giving up.
Although the credit is divided into the big head, the small head is also meat! It's better than getting strong at nothing!
When he arrived at Qingfeng Village, Li Qi took out his identity waist card and saw Liu Gao, the Zhizhai.
"Li Dutou, I heard that you want to see me?
Something good to deliver?
Let's talk about it!
Benzhizhai is busy with official business, if you dare to entertain me, be careful of your head. ”
Liu Gao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he can climb to today's position, the means are ruthless, and the ability is also there.
Where did Li Qi dare to sit on an equal footing with Liu Gao?
He carefully took out the private message that Liang Zhongshu gave him and handed it to Liu Gao to read.
Then he said, "The offender was robbed by an unknown thief, and now the prisoner is still in the hands of my people."
Please send troops to support quickly, after the deed is completed, the big head is the Lord of the Zhizhai you, and the villain is willing to drink soup. ”
Liu Gao looked at the letter in his hand, compared the handwriting and seal of Liang Zhongshu, and then believed it for eight or nine points.
Hearing Li Qi's words, Liu Gao was overjoyed.
But he is a scheming man who will not send troops like this, he must understand the situation clearly, and the major affairs of the military family must be ignored.
"How many people are there on the other side, and who is the leader?
You look at these portraits, but are they the people in them? ”
As he spoke, Liu Gao took the portrait of the leader of the three mountains to Li Qi and asked him to look at it carefully.
Li Qi was confused, I don't know what Liu Gao is doing?
He didn't dare to slack off on Shangguan's request, so he had to identify it carefully.
"Lord Zhizhai!
There were about 300 thieves in that gang, and the leader was of medium stature, skilled in martial arts, and his accent was from Jeju Province. Li Qi thought about it carefully and informed the situation one by one.
Liu Gao had a bottom in his heart, but he still asked cautiously: "Is there a leading thief in the portrait?"
"Back to my lord! The villain doesn't know any of them, so I'm sure it's not one of these people who is taking the lead. ”
"Okay, Li Dutou waits, Benzhizhai will gather people now.
You will lead the way, and your credit will be indispensable after the deed is completed. Liu Gao clapped his head.
"Thank you, sir! Please bring more soldiers and horses in case the night is small. Li Qi hurriedly reminded.
Liu Gao's heart moved, and he felt that Li Qi's words were right, after all, this area is the sphere of influence of the Three Mountains.
In case it is robbed by the Sanshan people, it is really not an opponent if you have fewer soldiers and horses.
The military order was issued, and the soldiers and horses of Qingfeng Village quickly assembled, and soon gathered all the three thousand troops.
"My lord! All the military schools have arrived, but the deputy Zhizhai Huarong is missing. The adjutant general reported.
Liu Gao and Hua Rong have never dealt with each other very well, and the two have long had a grudge.
At this time, when I heard that Hua Rong was missing, I was very happy in my heart, so that no one would come to take credit from him, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"Let's go."
An army of 3,000 had 500 cavalry and 2,500 foot soldiers.
Among them, 500 officers and men are equipped with the army's standard weapon, the Divine Arm Crossbow, which can be described as well-equipped.
This is still a miscellaneous army of Qingfeng Village that is only responsible for clearing out bandits, and if it is an elite soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, it is equipped with cannons.
That is the elite division of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty would have been divided between the Great Liao State and the Jin State long ago.
……
"Report ...... Report to the Chief!
Liu Gao's army was all dispatched and was coming towards the ambush circle of our army, and its vanguard was less than ten miles away from here. ”
"Pioneer?
Is it cavalry?
How many rides?
Who is the leading general? Wang Dong immediately asked.
"Back to the Lord!
It was the cavalry, the number of which was five hundred, and the leading general was Liu Gao. ”
"Hahaha, Liu Gao, Liu Gao, there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door to hell, you can vote for yourself!" Hua Rong laughed.
"The plan remains the same, brother, your archery skills are superb, kill Liu Gao first.
Let its dragons be leaderless, in the settlement of five hundred cavalry. Wang Dong ordered.
"No!" The brothers immediately clenched their fists and took orders, and went down to prepare.
"Stepping on ......"
In less than half an hour, Liu Gao led 500 cavalry to arrive first.
He was so anxious to make meritorious service that he didn't even bother to send a scout, for fear of delaying time and running away from the thief.
"Drive, hurry up, hurry up for Benzhizhai......" Liu Gao urged his cavalry while patting his horse.
"Whoosh." At this moment, a sharp arrow broke through the air, and the target went straight to Liu Gao's throat.
"Poof." Liu Gao was hit by an arrow in the throat, fell off his horse on the spot, and was trampled into minced meat by the five hundred cavalry behind him.
This arrow was like an order, and suddenly thousands of people rushed out from both sides of the woods.
Each of them had a bow and an arrow with fire oil on it, and aimed it at the five hundred cavalry.
Directly in front of the five hundred cavalry, twenty people suddenly appeared, each of them armed with a divine arm crossbow.
The bolts were aimed at their mounts under their crotches, mercilessly reaping the lives of their horses.
Led by "Sigh and Rhythm ......", more than a dozen horsemen were shot over by the crossbow of the divine arm on the spot.
The two dozen riders behind were tripped by the horses in front of them on the spot because of their speed.
The knights behind were in a chaotic formation, and no less than 100 people were killed by bows and arrows.
Just by looking at the face, the five hundred cavalry of officers and soldiers lost one-third.
It can be seen that the Liangshan army has already planned, and it is not an ambush without brains.
Just when the officers and soldiers were in chaos, Wang Ying and others hurriedly straightened the iron chains (tripwires) buried in the ground.
The blocking of more than a dozen iron chains made the officers and soldiers even more confused, and one by one they either fell or were shot on the spot by arrows.
In just three minutes, two-thirds of the 500 cavalry officers and soldiers died, which shows the severity of the tragedy.
"Kill, leave no one."
Wang Dong shouted, the crossbowmen retreated, replaced by Pu Dao hands, and the brothers rushed forward in the lead.
Lu Zhishen's sixty-two pounds of iron Zen staff, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi's iron-core silver guns.
Sun An's two-mouth iron sword, Lei Heng's Daguan knife and so on.
The brothers swarmed up, killing the officers and soldiers without resistance, and only stretched out their heads to be slaughtered.
"Hahaha, happy, happy." The brothers soon dealt with all the officers and soldiers, and they laughed one by one.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly, the infantry is almost here." Wang Dong shouted.
The brothers did not dare to slack off, leading the horses, collecting the arrows, and disposing of the corpses, and the actions were combined in one go.
The brothers cooperated tacitly, and finally sprinkled leaves in the middle of the road, and the field was emptied in a short time.
As if there had been no major war here, there was silence all around, except for the chirping of birds in the woods.
After another half an hour, the foot soldiers of Qingfeng Village hurriedly marched into the ambush circle.
Wang Dong looked at the five hundred foot soldiers in front of him who were equipped with divine arm crossbows, and his heart was greedy.
Wang Dong still remembers the conversation with Hua Rong about the equipment of the officers and soldiers of Qingfeng Village.
When he heard about 500 war horses, 500 divine arm crossbows, 1,000 crossbowmen, 700 pikemen, and 300 shield soldiers, his heart was like a cat's claw scratching, and Liangshan was really too poor.
If the Liangshan army is equipped with the standard weapons of these Great Song officers and soldiers, isn't it like a tiger?
Every time he thinks of this, Wang Dong can't wait to kill Tokyo and tie up Ling Zhen, this guy is the master who can make cannons.
It's a pity that Liangshan is extremely short of materials, and even if there are craftsmen, it won't help.
Unless it is as popular as the original book, it may not necessarily have the conditions to manufacture artillery, Wang Dong has coveted the imperial artillery battalion for a long time in his heart.
