Chapter 19: The Most Ironclad Master and Apprentice
The cavalry of Zhujiazhuang heard Zhu Long's reminder, and while speeding up their horses, they pointed the tips of their knives and spears at the woods on both sides.
Sure enough, after a gong sounded, a killing cry sounded in the woods, and many Liangshan minions rushed towards Zhujiazhuang's cavalry with their weapons.
However, the cavalry was still galloping, their knives and guns pointed outward, and the lethality of the knives and guns flying at high speed was amazing, and the minions stopped on the side of the road, not daring to step forward again.
A reckless fellow rushed forward at the risk of death, but before he could get closer, he was slashed a few times by the long knives of several cavalrymen who rushed by, fell to the ground and convulsed a few times, and lost his breath.
Hua Rong's heart sank, this was different from what he expected.
In his plan, the ambush soldiers on both sides suddenly came out, attacked the unsuspecting enemy flanks, and led the front army to kill back, and the siege of the three sides was bound to be a great victory, and the revenge of the ambush in the valley could be avenged.
He Huarong also wants to save face, and if he suffers a loss, he must get back to the field!
Originally, the other party was chasing cavalry, which was even better than expected. On this narrow road, it was difficult for the cavalry brigade to turn around.
If they get bogged down in a scuffle, huddle together, and can't run, then these cavalry can only be reduced to clumsy targets.
He was confident that he could eat this enemy army, and it would be better if he could capture Zhu Long alive.
The battle has been fought so far, and now Liang Shan has a certain understanding of Zhujiazhuang, and they all know that Zhu Long is the person who speaks of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Lao Lao has long taken a back seat, and Zhu Hu is just a martial artist.
But the situation in front of him is not good, his subordinates did not hold back the enemy army, and now the cavalry of the Zhujia army rushed over unscathed, can he bear it?
He still knew in his heart that on this not wide mountain road, it was impossible for him to block the charge of a hundred cavalry, let alone withstand the joint efforts of Zhu Long, Qin Ming, and Zhu Hu.
"Brother Dai Zong, Brother Bai Sheng, let's withdraw!"
He beckoned, turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp at the foot of the hill.
As long as these two people are taken away, Dai Zong is an old comrade-in-arms who went to the execution ground with Brother Song Jiang to cut off his head, and he has an old relationship.
Bai Sheng is even more of an old qualification to rob the Shengchengang with the owner of Chao Gai Village, although these two people have no ability, they are both henchmen of the leader, and they must not be left behind.
As for ordinary minions, hehe, now that the people are not making a living, there are more people who are willing to fall into the grass for a full meal.
Some of the minions ran into the woods, and some knelt on the side of the road to surrender, but Zhu Long didn't care, staring at the backs of Hua Rong, Dai Zong, and Bai Sheng who fled on horseback, and chased after them.
Zhu Long regretted not bringing a bow and arrows, although his archery skills were average, but at this time he could try to shoot a horse.
"Big brother, I'm going to take a shortcut!" Zhu Hu said suddenly.
"Good!" Zhu Long feels that this is a good attention, and he should give full play to his home advantage.
Zhu Hu took fifty cavalrymen into a path and disappeared into the woods.
After chasing more than a mile, the distance was much closer, Hua Rong shot two arrows back, Zhu Long suffered a loss, this time he was prepared, and knocked the arrows with his gun.
Hua Rong was anxious, blaming Bai Sheng for his poor riding skills, which dragged him and Dai Zong back.
He and Dai Zong glanced at each other, and the two suddenly accelerated, throwing Bai Sheng behind.
This Bai Sheng is the person of Chao Boss, but the two of us are the people of Song Laoer, and we must be able to carry it at the critical moment!
Bai Sheng looked at the backs of the two of them and smiled helplessly. Suddenly he saw a small fork in the road ahead, and he thought to himself that I couldn't run anyway, so I might as well help them divert a few pursuers!
He turned into the trail, but Zhu Long didn't bother to pay attention to him and chased after Hua Rong.
Bai Sheng scratched his head, it was so good to find out for the first time that he was being ignored!
Escaping death, he laughed a few times and quickly slipped down the mountain.
Hua Rong and Dai Zong had just distanced themselves from Zhu Long, when suddenly a thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of them, and Zhu Hu led his troops to kill them from the path!
The hearts of the two sank, knowing that today was more auspicious and less auspicious.
"Kill!" Hua Rong rushed towards Zhu Hu, brandished a silver spear, and stabbed Zhu Hu in the chest.
On the side of Zhu Hu's body, the tip of the spear slashed across the iron armor, colliding with sparks, leaving a trace.
He swept with a big gun and wanted to sweep Hua Rong over, but Hua Rong fell backwards, his back against the horse's back, dodging the shot, and then he straightened his waist and sat up again.
The two horses staggered shoulders, Zhu Hu faced Dai Zong, and was making a move, and was surprised to see Dai Zong actually jump off the war horse and rush into the woods, running fast, not much slower than riding a horse.
He turned his horse's head and struck behind Hua Rong.
Hua Ronggang stabbed a cavalryman under the horse with a shot, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Hu stabbing with a shot, and hurriedly returned the gun and fired.
There are cavalry blocking the road in front, and the tiger is entangled, and the situation is very critical! He killed four cavalrymen in a row, and was about to fight his way out of the encirclement, when suddenly he heard a loud shout: "Get out of the way!" ”
Zhu Long and Qin Ming caught up, one left and one right, and attacked them.
It's a pity, as long as you come a little later, you can rush out!
Hua Rong sighed in his heart, but there was a resolute look in his eyes, and he turned his horse's head to meet Zhu Long and Qin Ming.
He suddenly had a thought: if Xiaomei knew that her brother and her husband were living and dying, who would she hope would survive?
Qin Ming was murderous, he raised his mace, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, Huo Di stood up, and smashed at Hua Rong with a stick!
A cold light flashed in Hua Rong's eyes, killing intent burst out, and a shot stabbed Qin Ming in the abdomen.
It turned out to be a way of playing that ended up together!
Zhu Long swept the leg of Hua Rong's war horse with a shot.
The war horse fell to the ground, and Hua Rong was also thrown out, and with a bang, he fell to the ground.
The gun misses, and so does the stick!
Several cavalrymen dismounted and tied Hua Rong to the back of a war horse abandoned by Dai Zong.
Someone picked up his silver spear, and someone led the wounded war horse and walked back.
The corpses of the cavalrymen killed in battle were placed on horses and brought back for burial.
Most of the scattered minions were captured by the infantry behind and escorted to Zhujiazhuang.
Seeing so many captives, Zhu Long felt a headache, there were already more than two thousand captives in Zhuangzi, and now another seven or eight hundred were captured, what should be done with it?
These days, each captive is given only two bowls of gruel, so that they do not starve to death, and it is important that they remain in a state of weakness, so that they do not have the strength to make trouble.
Back in Zhuangzi, Zhu Long personally escorted Hua Rong to the dungeon, and now it is very lively, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Ou Peng, and Huang Xin.
It's a pity that it's divided into separate custodys, and if it's in a cell, you can make a table.
Seeing Huang Xin, Zhu Long's heart moved, he took him out, handed him to Qin Ming, and left by himself.
Qin Ming is not only Huang Xin's old boss, but also his master, and it was Qin Ming who persuaded him to give up his official position and join Liangshan.
You must know that at that time, Qin Ming had already committed a crime and became a criminal in the imperial court, but Huang Xin didn't, he was still the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses Eunuch, the military attache of the imperial court, as long as you look at how rich Zhang Dujian's family was when he framed Wu Song, you can know how comfortable Huang Xin's small life is.
But as soon as Qin Ming persuaded him, he abandoned his comfortable life and fell into the grass with him, which shows how iron his relationship with Qin Ming is.
Sure enough, after a while, Qin Ming came over with Huang Xin.
Huang Xin knelt down to Zhu Long: "Huang Xin is willing to abandon the darkness and follow the light, and hold the whip and stirrup for the Zhu officials, and hope that the officials will stay below regardless of their previous suspicions!" ”
Zhu Long stepped forward to help Huang Xin up, laughed and said, "Huang Du is serious!" In the future, we will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, and we are guaranteed to live more comfortably than you in Liangshanbo! ”
