In order to escape for his life, Hu Yanzhuo galloped wildly, injuring many people, Shi Xiu was already angry, and when he saw a big leader in Liangshan, he became more and more angry, and shouted: "The dog thief who was defeated by my brother dares to commit murder here?" ”

With a sword, he slashed the wheel, pulled out a horse pulling a cart, jumped forward, rode the bareback horse, and chased after him.

When Xue Yong saw it, he was immediately anxious: "Although he is defeated, he has many horses and horses, won't you chase him to death alone?" ”

After turning around twice on the spot, he gritted his teeth and said, "My brother sent me two together, and I can't let him fight alone." ”

Saying that, he also untied his horse and rode to chase Shixiu.

Bao Xu couldn't help but be in awe when he saw it, and said: "Such a righteous spirit, he is really a hero, I should go and help a gang of people." ”

He and Liu Tang were busy untying their horses, when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and turned their heads to look, but it was Cao Cao Chaogai who came with people flying horses, and Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu and other generals also rode horses to accompany them.

Liu Tang was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly pointed out: "Hu Yanzhuo fled not far away, because he shot the royal Daoren, Shi Xiu and Xue Yong chased after him all the way, and I was about to go." ”

Cao Cao ran non-stop, and shouted: "When you bring the heavy prisoners back to the village, it will be a great achievement." ”

Running out of the way, I saw a road junction, dozens of officers and soldiers iron cavalry were fighting around Shi Xiu and Xue Yong, both horses were shot over, relying on the dexterity of the body, hard support, there was a general pressing the formation, it was the "Tianmu General" Peng Xi with arrow wounds.

When Peng Xi saw Cao Cao and the others chasing after him, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, pointed his finger and scolded: "Treason grass coward, win by luck, do you still want to chase after it?" ”

Wielding a three-pointed two-edged knife with one hand, he urged the horse to kill Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was not afraid, and greeted each other, and Lin Chong and others went to save Shi Xiu and Xue Yong.

Cao Cao's side fought a little three-four together, swept the horizontal lance, swept away the dust of the heavenly eye, lifted the lance against his neck and asked: "Seeing that you are injured, and I don't kill you, you only said where did Hu Yanzhuo go?" ”

Peng Xi twisted his head angrily and said: "Those who hide their heads and show their tails will be killed if they want to." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "I am Song Jiang, the master of Liangshan Erzhai 'Timely Rain', just because I stabbed the gold seal on my face, so I wear this mask." ”

Peng Xi said: "It turns out that you are Song Jiang!" But the whereabouts of the Lord will not be expected to be told by me. ”

At this time, Lin Chong's side was a fierce tiger, killing dozens of iron horsemen behind the palace to the point of dead and wounded, and came back to report: "The wounded soldiers confessed, and Hu Yanzhuo fled the defeated soldiers to Yuncheng County." ”

Chao Gai is a native of Yunxian County, and frowned when he heard this: "This is not far from Yuncheng County, and then chase it to the city, the county must send troops to rescue, although he is not afraid of his native soldiers and archers, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng in the county are both heads, but they are our brothers, how can we fight with him?" ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded and said: "Hu Yanzhuo was ordered to crusade, but now not only is it useless, but it is a loss of troops, and he does not dare to return lightly, since the Duke of Yunxian County has an old relationship with the Heavenly King, I will go back to the cottage first, and wait for him to come and die." ”

At the moment, the gongs and drums were beaten, and when they returned to the cottage, Song Jiangwu Yong and the leaders who stayed behind came to greet them, and everyone counted the casualties: 3,000 infantry troops went out to fight, and more than 300 were lost, most of which were killed by Hu Yanzhuo when he returned to the army. 1,300 horsemen went into battle, and they lost two or three hundred, most of them were killed by random arrows.

Chao Gai immediately ordered that the fallen soldiers be buried in the remote place of the back mountain, and the injured should be treated by the doctor, and those who were disabled should stay in the cottage to do some chores in the future, and support him for life.

Looking at the results of the battle, there were 3,000 officers and soldiers, more than 1,400 people fled, and the rest killed 3,400, captured more than 1,000, and got more than 1,000 good horses in armor.

Five thousand infantry troops, half killed and wounded, three or four hundred people scattered in the forest, and two thousand were captured. Two or three thousand people, officers and soldiers rushed to death more than 1,000 people, and the rest were captured alive.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 pairs of vests, a number of swords, guns, grain and grass, and a number of horses and mules that have not been burned.

Calculated to be a big win.

Lin Chong looked at those vests and said overjoyed: "These vests add up to three thousand pairs, and when the iron armor of the soldiers is removed, plus the cottage's own, it can also pull up an ironclad cavalry." ”

When the leaders heard this, they were overjoyed.

Cao Cao was also very happy, and advised: "This armor ride, you must practice, and let Lin Jiaotou practice." If there are not enough horses, I still have a lot of horses in Shi'er Mountain, and I can make up for it, but there is only one thing: that is, do not show it easily, so as not to be frightened by the Song Dynasty and send soldiers to ask for it early. Besides, this kind of heavy cavalry is invincible when it is used well, but it also has a lot of shortcomings, so it should only be kept as a killer weapon. ”

After this battle was fought, Cao Cao made a plan, made a decision on the spot, and took the lead in rushing to kill, everything was far better than others, Chao Tianwang became more and more subdued, and immediately said when he heard the words: "What Brother Wu said, the decision is good!" Brother Lin, you train this army well, hide it first, and it will be of great use. ”

Lin Chong gritted his teeth and said: "I heard the soldiers: these vests and iron armor are all approved by the old thief for Hu Yanzhuo. ”

Cao Cao listened and said loudly: "Okay! The big husband is happy to take revenge, that's exactly how it should be! ”

Walking a few steps closer, I wanted to talk to Lin Chong, but suddenly my eyes turned, and I said, "Huh", reached out and touched the copper ring on the side of the vest and said, "What is this?" ”

I looked at seven or eight horses in a row, and there were tea bowl-sized copper rings on the left and right sides of the vest, which were tightly fastened to the armor.

Everyone saw that Cao Cao's expression was wrong, and they all gathered around to see, most of them didn't know, but Wu used to say "ouch", and shouted: "I used to read the history books, recording that before the battle of the king of Wu mourning Ran Min, the famous Yan general Murong Ke, fought ten battles, the Yan army was defeated, Murong Ke was in danger, and set up a plan to lure the enemy, leading Ran Min to go deeper, but he chose 5,000 good marksmen, connected the war horses with iron cables, and marched forward in a phalanx, advancing like a strong wall, and the arrows were like rain, and Ran Min was defeated and died and the country was destroyed. This is called a chain of horses! ”

When Chao Gai and the others heard this, they couldn't help but lose their color when they imagined the scene of the iron horse like a wall, crisscrossing the battlefield. Song Jiang shouted: "That Hu Yanzhuo escaped more than 1,000 people, all of them are armored horses and heavy horses, and they will inevitably come to attack, but how can we stop them?" ”

Chao Gai snorted coldly: "Since the military advisor has seen through his details, why is there anything to fear? It's a big deal, I also put some chains, put on vests, and everyone rushed to each other. ”

Lin Chong exclaimed, "Brother, no! In this way, the casualties will be heavy, the imperial court has a wide range of soldiers and horses, and it may not be distressed, if I Liangshan folds this iron horse, where can I find the second one? ”

Everyone then talked about it, and it was difficult to defeat his chain of horses except for breaking the force with force.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Capture his two pioneers and bring them up for questioning." Suddenly remembered something, and said to Song Jiang: "Brother Gongming, I should not divulge the secrets, so when I captured Peng Xi, I reported your name." After that, he took off the mask, buckled it to Song Jiang's face, and said: "For my brother to avoid for a while, my brother only asked him, since there is a chain of horses, why don't you use it?" ”

Before Song Jiang could react, Cao Cao had already turned around and retreated into the crowd, and he was never seen again.

Not long after, Han Tao and Peng Yu were both tied up by Wuhuada. Song Jiang hurriedly greeted him, retreated the escort sergeant, personally untied the rope, and bowed respectfully.

Han Tao and Peng Xi were shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The last will be captured, and Li He will die, why do you worship me and wait?" ”

Song Jiang helped the two of them up: "A certain number of people, only because of the persecution of traitors, there is nowhere to stay, so they temporarily occupy the water and take refuge for a while." Now that the imperial court has sent a general to arrest him, he should have been bound, but he was afraid that he would not be able to live, and he had no choice but to fight bravely, so that he would rush to the tiger and dare to beg for forgiveness. ”

Han Tao said: "Ah, I didn't expect Zunjia to be so reasonable, I would like to ask for a name!" ”

Song Jiang said: "Xiao Ke's surname is Song Ming, Jiang Zi Gongming." ”

There are sects: Gongming went to capture the enemy general, and Peng Xi bowed his hand to Song Jiang. Wu used erudition to talk about the old history, and Meng De's armor was hidden in his chest.
