Chapter 59: The Wind Rises in Zengtou City (12)

Looking at this Water Margin world, although the overall martial arts of the flower monk Lu Zhishen are not the top group of people, if you talk about foot combat, except for a few people such as Wu Song, Zhu Ji, Deng Yuanjue, etc., who can match it, the rest of the people have congenitally lost their advantage in front of Lu Zhishen's upside-down weeping willow strength and sixty-two catties of water grinding iron Zen staff.

At this time, Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo were knocked off the horse by Lu Zhishen, and Zeng Suo was already frightened by Lu Zhishen at the moment, and the three strands of the Heavenly Fork in his hand were mechanically waved to resist, and he no longer had the idea of avenging his brother; Fortunately, he had learned Shi Wengong's six or seven percent of his skills, and a steel gun made him quite a general, and he was able to resist under Lu Zhishen's crazy demon Zen staff like opening mountains and breaking rivers.

Shi Wengong saw the situation in the field, and he was afraid that the two would fight again, so he immediately withdrew his troops and asked Su Ding to lead hundreds of people to take Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo back to the formation, and the team turned back to Zengtou City, and the city gate was closed, waiting for Du Yan to attack.

Du Bai saw that the people of Zengtou City withdrew to the city, and when he was hesitating, a red-clothed young general came to the rear on horseback, and when he came to Du Bai's side, he said: "Brother Du Bai, the son asked you to attack Xizhai and Zhongzhai for a while to explore the reality." ”

Du Bai heard this, smiled slightly, and had a hint of Zhu Biao in his heart, according to the news from the earlier Shi Qian and Yu Baosi, the teacher Shi Wengong was in charge of the general village of Zengtou City, the eldest son Zeng Tu and the deputy teacher Su Ding in the north village, the second son Zeng Mi in the south village, the third son Zeng Suo in the west village, the fourth son Zeng Kui in the east village, and the fifth son Zeng Sheng and his father Zeng Ran in the middle village.

And Zeng Mi and Zeng Kui were captured alive by Wei Dingguo and the Lingzhou official army last night, and today Zeng Sheng was also killed by Lu Tizhi, and the five big villages on the periphery of Zengtou City are equivalent to three of them have existed in name only; Now it is only necessary to take advantage of the situation in Xizhai and Zhongzhai, and the missing side is the retreat that Zhu Biao left to the Han people in Zengtou City.

After a while, Du Yi sent Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen to lead a thousand Ma Bu troops to attack Xizhai, Li Ying and Sun An led Ma Bu to attack Zhongzhai with a thousand Ma Bu troops, and the four generals each received orders to lead the troops and went towards Xizhai and Zhongzhai.

On the high post in the rear, Zhu Biao said to Wei Dingguo on the side: "General Wei, our Dulonggang has limited capabilities, and all we can do is to help clear the peripheral obstacles. ”

When Wei Dingguo heard this, he took a deep look at it, and he was inexplicably jealous and afraid of Zhu Biao in his heart, this person has a wide range of soldiers under Yin Yin, and all of them have extraordinary skills, not to mention that the descendant of the green-faced Yangmen next to him is the person who commands the army at this time in Dulonggang, which is not far away, and he is also a great general who is even more than himself, but this Taishan Jun is hidden, only making some small profits, and does not care about other merits.

In Wei Dingguo's mind, such a character is either indifferent to fame and fortune, or has a bigger plan, obviously Zhu Biao cannot be the former; Only a low-level general in a place like General Shenhuo does not have much sense of identity with the Great Song Dynasty, and he only sees through it and does not say anything.

"Zhu Gongzi, now that my Lingzhou official army has lost more than half of it last night, the follow-up matter is still handled by the rebels of Lao Dulonggang, as for how to write the report after this battle, Wei can just listen to Gongzi's arrangement."

Zhu Biao listened to his words, but it was a little unexpected, in the original text of the Water Margin, Wei Dingguo is somewhat arrogant, although his skills are extraordinary, he defeated the big sword Guan Sheng one after another, and finally went to the end because of Shan Tingqi's anti-water, but even if it is the end of the road, he must be personally invited by Guan Sheng to surrender, but Zhu Biao did not expect that this Shenhuo general could say these words at this time.

"Zhu Gongzi is curious why Wei would say such a thing?" Wei Dingguo saw that Zhu Biao had doubts on his face, smiled, and then spoke.

"Last night, the single brother's arrow wound was unbearable, and he talked with him all night, and the single brother had a lot of respect for Zhu Gongzi in his words, and this time Zhu Gongzi saved the life of the single brother, and my brothers should have given the credit, but now Wei seems to see that Zhu Gongzi does not seem to value these credits, so he said so."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was relieved, if he could get Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi to cover up this time, it would be very good, so that the generals under his command could show their strengths, and it could also have a better training effect.

"In this way, thank you General Wei for making it complete." Zhu Biao thanked Wei Dingguo.

Wei Dingguo returned the salute and said: "Fang Cai Zhu Gongzi has let people attack Xizhai and Zhongzhai, I think there will be results soon, and then Zengtou City is a lonely place, but Zhu Gongzi is planning to break the situation?" ”

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Dingguo, Wei Dingguo opened it and looked at it carefully, his face changed, and he said angrily: "These Jurchens are simply lawless, and they regard my Great Song Dynasty as nothing, and they are delusional to escape this catastrophe." ”

"They are not delusional, but if this letter is really delivered to Tokyo, Zengtou City will definitely be preserved, and now the officials of our Great Song Dynasty are dreaming of Lianjin to resist Liao and recover the land of Yanyun, but they don't know that this Jurchen is more ferocious than the Khitans." Zhu Biao said faintly.

"Raising tigers is a problem!"

Wei Dingguo sighed bitterly, Lingzhou is not far from the Song-Liao border, and Wei Dingguo has also heard of the battle between Liao and Jin last year, only such a magnificent military victory is extremely terrifying in the eyes of any general, although he doesn't know what the specific situation of the Jin country is, but Wei Dingguo still feels that the Jurchen is the number one enemy of the future Great Song Dynasty.

"From this point of view, the battle of Zengtou City should be fast rather than slow, we still need to break Zengtou City as soon as possible, so as not to give it a chance to breathe, so that someone with a heart will find out and come to obstruct it."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "General Wei is right, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible within three or five days, so that we can take care of the follow-up matters." ”

Zhu Biao looked at Zengtou City in the distance, at this time the West Village and Zhongzhai on the periphery of Zengtou City had been broken, Shi Wengong shrank all the troops back to the main village, and only guarded the main village of Zengtou City without breaking.

"General Wei, Fang Cai's letter was written by Zeng Lang a few days ago, according to the speed of the fast horse attack, at this time should be on the way back, that Zeng did not know that the letter was robbed by Zhu Mou, I am afraid that he is still waiting for the envoy of the Jin State in Tokyo City to mediate, according to a certain meaning, these days a certain let Du Yan set up a position to attack every day, and after two or three days, the general will make a gesture to withdraw the army, just let the people of Zengtou City feel that the imperial court has decided to let the officers and soldiers of Lingzhou withdraw, and then the general will go around the direction of Qingzhou after leaving the range of Zengtou City, As Qingzhou reinforcements, we rushed to Zengtou City again, and led the Zengtou City to send troops, and then we will take advantage of the situation to seize the city and exterminate these aliens in one go. ”

After hearing this, Wei Dingguo also nodded, and then heard Yang Zhi, who had not spoken out on the side, say: "Son, according to Yang Zhi, this plan still needs to be added with an insurance, and now Zengtou City has lost the outer barrier, and it is not easy to break under the shrinkage of troops. ”
