Chapter 135: Argali

In the past few days, Zhujiazhuang has been filled with a tense atmosphere before the war.

The soldiers dug trenches, erected antlers, and made a defensive posture.

Zhujiacun is a general name, with a population of tens of thousands, and there are traders coming and going every day, everything in Zhujiazhuang naturally can't escape their eyes, and many people with a heart look at it, including spies of the official army.

Everyone knows that the official army is coming, and the officials and people must defend Zhujiazhuang.

The villagers of Zhujia Village in Dulonggang were worried, and many of them took refuge in relatives' homes with their belongings.

They are not afraid of bandits, they are not afraid of thieves, they are afraid of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, just arrest people and kill good people, it will be miserable!

The atmosphere in Zhujiazhuang is even more solemn, and the old lady has begun to eat fast and chant Buddha, asking for the blessing of the Buddha. Zhu Long had to go to appease him several times every time.

Lin Chuman, that is, the former Mrs. Li, these days, the relationship with Zhu Long has warmed up rapidly, and naturally he is also nervous for him, so he went to the temple to ask for a peace charm to give him, and watched Zhu Long hide it carefully close to him, so he was a little relieved.

Everyone didn't expect that at the third watch, all the main forces of the Zhujia army quietly went out from behind Zhuangzi by moonlight.

At dawn, they arrived at the argali, which was in Yuncheng County.

But they did not enter the argali, but outside the exit of the argali.

Both sides of the argaliyang are high mountains and dense forests, cliffs, and the road in the middle is winding, which is the nearest land passage from Yuncheng County to Dongping Mansion, which is very dangerous.

Out of the argali, it is a rolling hill with a gentle slope, so that the pedestrians who have turned the half-maze in the argali, suddenly enlightened.

And Zhu Long led the soldiers to ambush behind an inconspicuous hill.

……

"Have you checked them all?" Hu Yanzhuo asked Han Tao, who had just returned from the search in Argali, he was also a general who was proficient in the art of war, so he naturally knew that such a dangerous place as Argaliyang was an excellent ambush point.

Therefore, after arriving in Yuncheng County last evening, they negotiated with the local government overnight, asking them to send officials and soldiers who were familiar with the terrain to cooperate, and began a comprehensive search of the argali, early this morning.

Of course, he didn't trust these slippery old fritters, so he sent his own subordinates to follow and supervise, and the deputy general Han Tao personally led the team.

Han Tao took nearly a thousand officers and soldiers, and spent a morning checking the steep walls and valleys on both sides of the road, and then left sentry posts at the commanding heights along the way.

"My brother has carefully checked it, and there is not even a rabbit, so don't worry!" Han Tao confidently reported to Hu Yanzhuo.

"Good!" Hu Yanzhuo nodded, Han Tao was still relatively meticulous in his work, while Peng Xiyong was brave, but he was a little more reckless.

He shouted in a rough voice: "The whole army is set off, and quickly pass through the argali!" ”

Groups of soldiers marched into Pangyang Mountain in an orderly manner, with infantry in front and cavalry behind.

The officials and soldiers of Yuncheng County wiped the sweat from their foreheads! Damn, this is a walk from the ghost gate, but luckily there are no ambushes.

If there really is an ambush, the first people to die are themselves! Hu Yanzhuo, the turtle grandson, is too bad, and his subordinates are reluctant to send it up, so let us rush to the front.

Shi Wenbin, the bird man of the county, is a tax, and he can't even protect his subordinates, so he was intimidated by Hu Yanzhuo with chicken feathers as an arrow, so he pushed them out.

Everyone scolded and went back to the county government to resume their lives, and after they left, a head poked out of the grass, turned around and ran towards Maple Grove Valley.

Most of the cliffs on both sides of the argali, looking up, look like a line.

The soldiers walked in it and couldn't help but get nervous, if someone threw a rolling stone from above, they would be miserable below!

Fortunately, on the top of the cliff stood their comrades, waving large green flags to indicate that everything was normal.

Hu Yanzhuo rode the royal horse, walked in front of the cavalry, looked up at the cliff tops on both sides, and noticed the change of the sentries' banners.

Although the mountain walls on both sides are steep, they are not very high, and the shouts of the people above can be heard below.

From time to time, Hu Yanzhuo asked loudly about the situation above, and the soldier who was on guard responded that there was nothing unusual.

Seeing the cavalry passing in front of him, the soldiers who had been guarded from high places climbed down and followed closely with the large army.

At this time, Hu Yanzhuo didn't know that in Fenglin Valley, eight miles away, there was a team of 2,800 rao, under the leadership of Zhu Biao, quietly rushed to Argali.

……

Behind the hills, Zhu Long was dressed in black scale heavy armor, sitting on a stone with a golden sword, and a flying dragon spear in his hand.

When the war came, his old god was there, as steady as an old dog, giving his subordinates the feeling that everything was under his control. At this time, he was full of energy, his brain was clear and sharp, his body was full of strength, and he was at the peak of his body and spirit.

Zhu Long's self-confidence and calmness gave his generals and soldiers confidence and strength!

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming's violent temper was impatient, walking around, lying on the top of the hill for a while to observe, and after a while, he came to Zhu Long and asked, "Lord, why don't we set up an ambush in Argali?" ”

Seeing Qin Ming's question, the other generals also cast puzzled looks, and he explained with a smile: "That Hu Yanzhuo is not an idle person, he will definitely search along the way, and he will not give us a chance to take advantage of it, so it is impossible to set up an ambush in Argali, only here!" ”

Qin Ming hesitated: "It's not a good ambush here, is it?" ”

He respects Zhu Long so much, if it were someone else, he would break it and scold

How can you set up an ambush in such a gentle place? As long as the enemy sends a few scouts to the top of the hill, you can see the ambush behind the hill, which is like a three-year-old child hiding from the cat, too easy to be discovered!

Zhu Long smiled and said, "You will think so, maybe Hu Yanzhuo will think the same way!" ”

He suddenly looked serious, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said: "You must remember one thing when you are alone with troops in the future, the enemy is not stupider than us, or even smarter than us, what we can think of, the enemy can also think of!" ”

Qin Ming nodded as if he didn't understand, but Lu Zhi was deeply touched and said, "I wish the big officials to be reasonable!" If a person always thinks that he is smarter than others, he will eventually find out that he is a big fool! Many civil officials of the imperial court came to the Western Army, pointing fingers, not right here, wrong there, and finally made a mess of things, and the war was a fiasco, they patted their butts and left, just to make the Western Army have many more orphans and widows! ”

Zhu Long actually didn't know it, but he felt that psychologically, after the official army passed through the very dangerous argali, they entered a very empty hilly area, and suddenly opened up, and psychologically they would definitely relax, and subconsciously they would feel that Zhu Jiajun had even given up a place like argali, that must have been a turtle with a shrunken head, and he was defending in Zhujiazhuang.

He made a defensive posture, and he didn't know if Hu Yanzhuo was fooled, if he didn't send a spies, or no one asked him for credit and reward to tell the truth, then he would have worked in vain.

He didn't let people "inform" himself, for fear that Hu Yanzhuo would see the flaws and be self-defeating.

Of course, he also did not pin his hopes of victory on the mistakes of the enemy. He has several backup plans in place for all kinds of eventualities.

What if the enemy discharges the scouts?

What to do with the officers and soldiers and cavalry in front?

What if the infantry is in front?

What should I do if the officers and soldiers are lax?

What should the officers and soldiers do if they are vigilant?

……

Zhu Long has made detailed arrangements for all kinds of possibilities, and it is precisely because of this that he can not be in a hurry.

For the main generals in the army, he arranged it like this:

Zhu Hu, Lin Chong, and Hua Rong commanded all the cavalry, totaling 1,100 cavalry.

Luan Tingyu commanded the second camp of Jin and Mu.

The two battalions of fire and earth are united, with Qin Ming as the main and Sun Li as the auxiliary.

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi commanded the Guards Battalion and the Shuizi Battalion, totaling 2,700 people.

Zhu Long is in control of the overall situation, and the rest of the lieutenants are in their own camps.

Originally, he only planned to inflict heavy losses on the officers and soldiers and let them return defeated, but the news that Zhu Biao sent someone back yesterday made him overjoyed, and he had the ambition of completely annihilating the enemy army.

The Zhujiazhuang of the Water Margin counterattacked
