…

Not to mention that Jiang Hongfei took advantage of the opportunity of others in Huaixi to visit a great talent and wanted to recruit him.

It is only said that after a few days of careful preparation, Song Jiang asked Song Qing to count the number of people who went down the mountain, and invited his subordinates Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Shi Yong, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Xue Yong, Li Li, and Hou Jian to go with him to Zhaojia Village, Zou County, Mengyin Region, and vowed to wash the village.

Why did Song Jiang choose Zhaojia Village to attack?

There are three reasons for this:

First, this Zhaojia Village is the strongest civil force in the Mengyin area, basically equivalent to Zhujiazhuang in Liangshanbo, with thousands of soldiers and 100,000 stones of grain.

The second is that the group training of Zhaojia Village Zhaoxin originally had the lofty ambition of annihilating the thieves and returning the Zhao and Song dynasties to a bright and prosperous dynasty, just because the county officials are all corrupt and incompetent, and in desperation, they have made every effort to build a powerful township warrior armed force in the Mengyin area, in addition to supporting the army to protect themselves, this armed force also assists the officers and soldiers to guard the Mengyin area, and the surrounding villages are all looking forward to Zhaojia Village, and any bandits want to fight the villages in the Mengyin area, they will be attacked by Zhaojia Village, that is to say, Song Jiang wants to go to the Mengyin area to borrow grain, and does not defeat Zhaojia Village, It's simply impossible.

The third is that at the beginning of the establishment of Naitou Mountain, it was the banner of Shuibo Liangshan Village, and Zhao Xin had a hatred for taking his wife with Jiang Hongfei, so he got on the bar with Naitou Mountain, which was only less than 100 miles away from his home, and vowed to destroy Naitou Mountain. Recently, Zhao Xin also made two big flags and planted them in front of the village, writing: Flatten Naizi and capture Chao Gai, pull out the head and catch Song Jiang.

- Actually, what Zhaoxin really wants to destroy is Shuibo Liangshan, and it is Jiang Hongfei who wants to capture him alive, but Shuibo Liangshan is too strong, and it is too far away from Zhaojia Village, Shao Xin can only take Naitou Mountain, the sub-village of Shuibo Liangshan, out of anger.

Because the strength of Zhaojia Village is not weak, and it is also related to Zengtou City, which has more than 10,000 military horses, a super-first-class qi refiner Shi Wengong, and a first-class qi refiner Su Ding, Naitou Mountain has never dared to come to provoke, let alone come to the Mengyin area to borrow grain.

Therefore, Song Jiang, who wanted to prove that he was stronger than Chao Gai, wanted to conquer Zhaojia Village in one fell swoop and establish his authority in Nai Tou Mountain.

It has been decided that in addition to the leader of Chao Gai guarding the cottage, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Zhu Ji, Bai Sheng, Li Ying, Du Xing, Song Qing and other leaders will be left to protect Dazhai. There were ministries who were originally assigned to guard the customs and stores, but they were all immovable.

Song Qing wrote a notice and divided the leaders of Zhaojia Village into two cases:

The first wave was led by Song Jiang himself, with nine leaders and two thousand minions.

The second wave was led by Qin Ming, with eight leaders and two thousand minions.

Two waves of people and horses successively descended Naitou Mountain, and they came to Zhaojia Village without saying anything on the road.

There is still more than a mile of road, and the former army has gone down the fence.

Song Jiang sat down in the tent of the Chinese army and dispatched troops......

Let's talk about Zhaojia Village.

At the beginning, Jiang Hongfei took away the sorghum, Zhaoxin felt that he was humiliated, and practiced the village courage in Zhaojia Village, acting irritable every day, originally intended to oppose Shuibo Liangshan, obey the king's hatred, and practice the sincerity of the soil with all the food, plus the hatred of taking his wife.

It's a pity that Zhao Xin waited for more than three years, and the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts did not mean to attack Shuibo Liangshan, but made Shuibo Liangshan stronger and stronger.

This made Zhao Xin depressed!

Suddenly heard that Naitou Mountain was coming to attack his Zhaojia Village, Zhao Xin sneered: "I can't beat the big one, I can't clean up your small one?" ”

As early as a long time ago, Zhao Xin knew that sooner or later, one day, he would have to do a battle with Shuibo Liangshan, so Zhao Xin sent someone to invite Shi Gugong, who was resourceful and quite knowledgeable about Qimen Dunjia, to serve as a military advisor.

After Shi Gugong came, he said with great confidence: "The strength of the regiment is strong, and the Liangshan bandits can be won as much as possible. Foolishness has a strategy, and it can win. The group practice can be on all sides of the village, build 1,000 and 80 large round altars, so that Hua Mink and Jin Zhuang will guard, according to the direction of the nine palaces, foolish has its own mysterious methods, discipline him into the formation, everyone is unconscious. ”

Summoning Xin Daxi, according to the plan.

I don't want to, the Nine Palaces altar prepared by Zhao Xin for the heroes of Liangshan was not used by Shuibo Liangshan, but was used by Naitou Mountain first.

According to Shi Gu Gong's command, Zhao Xin ordered Hua Mink and Jin Zhuang to guard the altar of the Nine Palaces and set up defenses.

The next day, a soldier suddenly reported: "The thieves and soldiers of Natou Mountain are coming!" ”

Summoning Xin to Qi Xiangyong, guarding on all sides, cutting off the water mouth, and dressing neatly, waiting for the war.

In order to boost morale, Zhao Xin instructed Zhuang Ke: "Prepare to bundle 10,000 spirit ropes, thieves come with 1,000 bundles of 1,000, come with 10,000 bundles of 10,000, and don't let go of one." ”

The bankers agreed in unison.

I only heard people outside the village shouting and neighing, and the people from Nai Tou Mountain had arrived.

Zhao Xin carried a gold hammer, covered in gold chain mail, rode a good horse, and was the first to meet the enemy.

I saw Qin Ming on the other side brandishing a mace with flames, and without saying a word, he rushed straight to the front.

Zhao Xin hurriedly used a gilded pistol and said: "Come and get the name!" ”

Qin Ming's head was covered with a stick: "Let you know the Sprinkle family." ”

Zhao Xin was furious, so he danced the gilded hammer, his body was full of thunder and lightning, holding Qin Ming's fiery mace, and the two fought for more than a hundred times, regardless of victory or defeat.

The murderous spirit is soaring on the field, and the sky is spinning.

Both sides of the formation were stunned.

Song Jiang was also surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Xin's strength was so strong that he was not under Qin Ming.

Seeing that Qin Ming was not capable of winning for a while, Zhao Xin knocked Qin Ming's mace away with a gold hammer, and then retreated to Zhaojia Village.

Qin Ming didn't think much about it, so he went in pursuit with a fiery mace.

Song Jiang thought that Qin Ming had won, and ordered: "General attack!" ”

After receiving Song Jiang's order, Li Kui and Hou Jian, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, ran the fastest, and they rushed into Zhaojia Village after Qin Ming with their respective minions.

At this time, Huang Xin, who also rushed to the front of Zhaojia Village, saw that there were more than a thousand large round altars in Zhaojia Village, and realized that it was not good, so he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly withdraw, the enemy is cheating!" ”

Song Jiang in the back was quite clever, and after he heard Huang Xin's transmission, he hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

But at this moment, I saw Shi Gugong wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a gossip robe, holding the dust in his hand, standing on the altar, pointing at the people of Naitou Mountain and laughing: "How many skills do Lianger and other thieves have, dare to crash into my Nine Palace Altar!" ”

I could only hear that as soon as Shi Gugong's voice fell, a heavy fog rose in Zhaojia Village, and Qin Ming, Li Kui, Hou Jian, and hundreds of minions of Naitou Mountain who were trapped in the Nine Palaces Altar were engulfed by the fog.

The other people of Naitu Mountain, seeing that the situation was not good, retreated one after another.

"How can this battle be fought?!" Song Jiang was dumbfounded.

Be.

It can be said that except for Qin Ming, Mu Hong, and Huang Xin, everyone else is bastards, and even Mu Hong and Huang Xin are just bastards who are slightly stronger than others, Li Kui, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Zheng Tianshou, and Xue Yong can also beat the pawns, and the rest are either water generals like Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, or simply slightly stronger pawns.

Now Qin Ming, who Song Jiang can handle the most, has fallen into Zhaojia Village, which makes Song Jiang stunned all of a sudden!

The point is, Song Jiang was completely confused about this Nine Palace Altar, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all!

What to do?

After hesitating again and again, Song Jiang could only withdraw his troops first.

Back at the big tent of the Chinese army, Song Jiang looked at Huang Xin and the others, and asked, "It seems like this now, what can I do?" If Song Jiang can't break this Zhaojia Village, he can't save these brothers, and he would rather die here, and he will not be able to go back to see Brother Chao Gai without a face! ”

Leaders, look at me, look at you, there's no way to do it.

These leaders under Song Jiang, except for Huang Xin, were not professional soldiers before, and they didn't know how to fight at all.

Taking a step back, Huang Xin, who was born as a professional soldier, has never seen this Nine Palaces Altar, how do you let him know how to break this Nine Palaces Altar?

Seeing this, Song Jiang sighed for a long time, there were so many leaders, and there was not even a person who could negotiate.

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, I don't know how long it took to stare at each other, Song Jiang could only say: "Let's go and rest, I'll think of a way." ”

It was night, Song Jiang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he had never led soldiers to fight, did he really not know how to deal with this troublesome situation?

This Zhaojia Village, will it continue to fight, or will it not fight?

If you hit, how do you fight?

If he doesn't fight, the cow will already be blown out, so how will it end?

Suddenly!

There was a shout of killing outside!

At the beginning, Song Jiang still didn't react.

However, soon Song Jiang realized that he must have summoned Xin to see his dishes and came to rob the camp.

Song Jiang hurriedly went to get his sword, and without wearing shoes, he rushed out of the big tent.

Immediately, Song Jiang saw Zhao Xin, who was like a thunder god possessed, led three or five hundred men and horses, slammed left and right in the camp to kill, and set fires everywhere, the people of Naitou Mountain were defenseless, and they were caught off guard, and the people and horses who ran and broke and were killed and injured were innumerable.

Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng brought two spirit horses and asked Song Jiang to get on the horse and flee for his life.

Song Jiang resolutely did not get off the horse, and shouted: "My general, as far as this is concerned, it is not appropriate to survive, Er Cao is urgent, there is no thief!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shun slashed at Song Jiang's neck, Song Jiang immediately fainted, and then Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng put Song Jiang on horseback and fled the camp with Song Jiang.

The coach ran away, and the others naturally turned into birds and beasts and scattered immediately!

The leaders of Naitou Mountain fled for more than 20 miles in one breath before they reined in the rout and counted the men and horses......

When Song Jiang woke up, he heard that Kong Ming and Mu Chun had also been arrested by Zhao Xin, and only more than 700 of the more than 4,000 minions he brought this time were left, and the rest of the minions died to death and scattered.

Just came to attack Zhaojia Village, and trapped five leaders in a row, and less than a quarter of the minions were left, and they were exhausted.

Song Jiang couldn't accept that this was the result of his battle, and he was about to apologize for his guilt when he pulled out his sword on the spot.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Mu Hong knocked out Song Jiang's sword.

Song Jiang knelt on the ground with a "poof", howling and crying bitterly, crying and saying that he was sorry for Qin Ming, Li Kui, Hou Jian, Kong Ming, Mu Chun and all the minions of Naitoushan......

All the leaders of the Naitou Mountain were silent.

There is not much to say.

This is whether Song Jiang's command ability is not good.

Otherwise, even if Qin Ming fell, Li Kui and Hou Jian would not have fallen.

Also, if Song Jiang had set up his defenses well at night, how could he be summoned to succeed in stealing the village easily?

Speaking of which, they all complained that Song Jiang had no experience in commanding troops, and insisted on commanding troops by himself, plus the generals under him did not have the strong heroes of Liangshan when they fought Zhujiazhuang in "Water Margin", and there was no Sun Li and other Dengzhou to send Liangshan heroes to cooperate with Song Jiangli and the outside, plus Zhaojia Village is indeed not weak, and it is normal for Song Jiang to suffer such a big defeat.

To be honest, the script imagined by Song Jiang and others before coming was not written like this at all, but they fought Zhaojia Village in the first battle, and then also gave the innocent people of Zhaojia Village no debts, grain, and land, and gained fame and fortune, so that Song Jiang could slowly raise the cover.

Who would have thought, but it was such a humiliating result of losing troops and losing generals.

What's next?

Someone suggested that when you go back to Naitou Mountain, ask Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others to come over and find a way to conquer Zhaojia Village and rescue Qin Ming and others.

Someone suggested that death could not let Chao cover them see jokes, and they fought to the end with Zhaojia Village.

Someone else suggested that someone should be sent to Zhaojia Village to talk, so that they could release the person and spend some money to buy the person back.

In short, there is everything to say, but no one can get to the point.

This also made Song Jiang unable to make up his mind, so he could only let everyone disperse first and talk about it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Song Jiang only felt tired, his body ached, his head was like an axe, his body was like a steam, and he couldn't afford to lie down.

And all the chiefs came to see.

Song Jiang said: "I just feel a lot of heat and pain on my back. ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the tweezers were red and swollen.

The leaders under Song Jiang gathered together to discuss, and felt that Song Jiang was living well with this illness, and he could use this as an excuse to go to Naitou Mountain for help.

- They felt that when Chao Gai saw that Song Jiang was ill like this, he shouldn't talk too deeply about Song Jiang.

So, everyone sent Dai Zong back to Naitou Mountain to ask for help.

In just one day, Chao Gai led Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Ji Ji, Li Ying and 2,000 men and horses to reinforce Song Jiang.

Seeing Chao Gai, all the leaders under Song Jiang found out that although Naitou Mountain suffered a big defeat, Chao Gai changed the sluggishness before they went down the mountain, but was radiant and full of momentum.

At the same time, because of the defeat, waiting for Chao Gai to turn the tide, the leader of Song Jiang's subordinates, after seeing Chao Gai again, bent his waist unconsciously, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Chao Gai.

Chao Gai suddenly raised his eyebrows!

Of course, Chao Gai is also trying his best to pretend to be sad, but because Chao Gai's temperament is too straight, he really doesn't pretend to be like it.

But no matter what, Song Jiang fell ill, and now that Chao Gai is here, the leaders under Song Jiang finally have a backbone.

As soon as Chao Gai and the others arrived at Huang Xinxin's camp, they came to visit Song Jiang as soon as possible.

Seeing Chao Gai and Wu Yong coming, Song Jiang immediately struggled to sit up.

But as soon as Song Jiang moved, his back hurt so much that Song Jiang didn't dare to move.

Chao Gai hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "Brother Xian, don't move, you can recuperate with peace of mind, since Brother is here, you don't need to worry about anything." ”

Song Jiang's face was full of shame, he cried and said: "The little brother lost his soldiers and lost the face of my peak mountain, and he really had no shame to live in the world, but the brothers are not allowed, alas~!" ”

Although Chao Gai also knew that saying these words now would be a bit of a failure, but when he thought of it, when Song Jiang forced the palace before, he didn't show mercy, so Chao Gai still said it:

"Brother Wei told you before, the strength of this Zhaojia Village is not weak, and it should not be easily provoked, otherwise Brother Wei has been here for more than two years, why he has never been fighting, is it not because Brother is steady, knows what he can do, but you don't listen to Brother Wei's good words, and rashly led the troops to attack, so far defeated, teach me Fengshan Yuan Qi is greatly injured, and I have broken my spirit."

The matter has come to this point, what Chao Gai says, Song Jiang has to listen, who let him lose his troops and lose the prestige of Naitu Mountain.

But what Chao Gai didn't see was that Song Jiang's eyes were full of forbearance and hatred!

Wu Yong watched from the sidelines, didn't speak, just watched Chao Gai retaliate there, and Song Jiang couldn't bear it.

At this moment, Wu has two words in his heart - disappointment!

Song Jiang's eyes are low.

Chao Gai city government is insufficient.

Neither of them can make a big deal.

After stepping on Song Jiang a few times to make his heart feel comfortable, Chao Gai remembered that Song Jiang was still sick, and said: "The rest of the matter, the virtuous brother doesn't have to worry about it, everything is a good brother, and the virtuous brother can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Then, Chao Gai asked Wu Yong, who had read a few medical books, to show Song Jiang the injury.

After Wu Yong looked at it, he said: "This disease is either carbuncle or gangrene. I read the book, the bean powder can protect the heart, and the poisonous gas cannot be violated. So I bought it and arranged to eat it with my brother. ”

Subsequently, Wu Yong arranged for someone to treat Song Jiang.

I don't want to, this is not useful at all, Song Jiang's illness is getting more and more serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun said: "When the younger brother was in Xunyang River, because his mother suffered from back disease, he couldn't be cured by a hundred medicines. Seeing my brother so sick today, it is a long way to the east, and I can't get there quickly. For the sake of his brother, he had to go to the starry night and ask him to come and treat his brother. ”

Song Jiang heard the words and said: "Brother, if you have this person, go with me quickly, stop your hard work, put righteousness first, go and invite this person in the starry night to save my life." ”

Wu Yong taught people to take 100 Lingshi as An Daoquan's consultation money, and then took 300 Lingqian as Zhang Shun's entanglement, and paid it to Zhang Shun: "Just now, I will definitely come with him, don't make a mistake!" Brother Song Jiang's life is in your hands, brother, go and come back quickly. ”

Zhang Shun said goodbye to everyone, put the package on his back, led the spirit horse and left......

Zhang Shun went to ask An Daoquan to treat Song Jiang's illness for the time being.

only said that seeing that Song Jiang suffered a big defeat, Chao Gai saw the opportunity to sit firmly on the head of the cottage, and he was full of pride, determined to break Zhaojia Village, catch Zhaoxin, and rescue Qin Ming and other five leaders of Naitou Mountain who fell into Zhaojia Village......
