Chapter 439
Yangshan, Juyi Hall!
Hao Bai was in the main position, while the other leaders were on the left and right of the hall.
After receiving the news that the imperial court had sent a large army to attack, except for Haobai, who seemed very relaxed, the other leaders felt a little depressed.
In the past, although Liangshan was very famous, it was all on the rivers and lakes, but this time it attracted the attention of the imperial court and sent a large army to attack.
Although everyone is a bold person, but in the end they are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the behemoth of the Great Song Dynasty, whether you are afraid of it or not, it is always like a big stone, pressing in the hearts of everyone.
Feeling the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the hall, Hao Baifeng smiled lightly, looked at Wu Yong on the side, and said, "The news of the imperial army has been clarified!"
Wu Yong nodded, and said slowly: "The imperial army only sent more than 10,000 elite soldiers, including 3,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry, about 3,000 horse troops, 10,000 army troops, and Hu Yanzhuo led the army. ”
After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "Under Hu Yanzhuo, there are two pioneers, one is Han Tao, who was born in Wuju, and is called General Baisheng, and this person is the vanguard.
The other person is Peng Qi, who is also outstanding in martial arts, known as General Baimu, and this person is the deputy vanguard. ”
Haobai nodded slightly, and all the leaders listened carefully.
Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, and Hua Rong, who were born as court officers, also heard a little about the three generals Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi.
Before, Qin Ming was still reluctant to join Liangshan, but after seeing many leaders with troops, he changed his mind and soon joined Liangshan.
The reason why this is so is because Liangshan and the Song Dynasty had a different system of leading troops, and when Qin Ming was originally an official in the imperial court, he could only lead troops when he was fighting, and he was not allowed in peacetime.
This is also the characteristic of the Song Dynasty, since Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, it has always been a soldier who does not know the general, and the general does not know the soldier.
......
With Liangshan's current strength, he is not afraid of Hu Yanzhuo's more than 10,000 troops, but behind Hu Yanzhuo is the Great Song Dynasty, after defeating Hu Yanzhuo, next time I am afraid it will be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!
Not to mention anything else, the strongest Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, with two or three hundred thousand, defeated the originally arrogant Western Xia Kingdom to subjugate it.
At that time, Lu Zhishen was a member of the Western Army, but he was killed by three punches in Guanxi and committed a life lawsuit, so he became a monk.
The imperial court crusaded against Liangshan, and if it was defeated once, it could be two, three, or four times, and it was endless, and if Liangshan was defeated, it would be completely crushed once, which was also the reason why the leaders were depressed in the face of the behemoth of the Great Song Dynasty.
The only thing that doesn't have any mental pressure is Haobai.
He glanced at the many leaders below, and then issued an order, saying, "The generals obey the order!"
"Yes!" the leaders replied neatly.
"That Hu Yanzhuo is also a general who can fight bravely, first with strength, and then with outwitting, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Hua Rong, Wu Song, Wu Dalang, the five of you are the vanguard!"
Haobai directly sent the strongest lineup, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Songnai were the top generals in Liangshan, and Hua Rong was excellent in martial arts and archery.
As for Nawu Dalang, since he practiced the exercises passed down by Haobai, his strength has increased greatly, and he has also become a top general, so naturally there is no need to say much.
"Yes!" the five replied in unison.
In addition to them, the other generals also have to fight, all with different tasks.
Especially those naval generals, if they can't resist the army of the imperial court in front, then they have to rely on them to hold Liangshan.
The generals also received orders one after another.
However, if you want to deal with Hu Yanzhuo, there is another problem, and that is his iron-clad chain horse.
Hu Yanzhuo's iron-clad chain horse is the ancient heavy cavalry, the horse wears a vest, and the person wears iron armor.
The horses were armoured, with only four hooves exposed, and the men were armoured, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and the three thousand horsemen, every thirty horses, were connected by iron chains.
In fact, this kind of heavy cavalry has a big flaw, that is, as long as one of the horses is shot down, the thirty horses that are connected together will be affected.
But since it is a heavy cavalry, wearing iron armor, and not afraid of bows and arrows, some of them are affected, but it does not affect the overall situation of the three thousand heavy cavalry.
This kind of heavy cavalry was extremely lethal and destructive in ancient times, and Hu Yanzan after that famous general also had some skills.
In the original Water Margin, cracking this iron-clad serial horse was mainly solved by a person named Xu Ning with his hook and sickle technique.
However, now that Haobai is in Liangshan, naturally there is no need to invite Xu Ning to come over, he just bought a book of war on the hook and sickle technique, and then made a batch of weapons specially used for the hook and sickle technique in advance.
And he had already arranged this matter, and now he didn't have to worry about anything at all.
A few days later, the imperial army led by Hu Yanzhuo finally came to Liangshan.
Haobai had already gone down the mountain with the leaders and the men and horses of Liangshan.
Counting up, it has been nearly a year since he crossed from Haobai and went to Liangshan with Lin Chongxue at night.
At this time, in the same winter, the wind was strong, which made the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield even better.
The soldiers and horses of Liangshan, who were waiting for work, saw the arrival of the official army early.
The two armies faced each other, and the pioneers on both sides came out to the front, and the first one in Liangshan was Lin Chong.
And the vanguard of the official army, Han Tao, the general of Baisheng, came to the front of the two armies, he scolded Lin Chong and said: "Now that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are here, you still don't surrender immediately, you dare to resist in such a formation, see how I can eliminate Liangshan and arrest all the thieves." ”
Lin Chong just smiled lightly when he heard this, and he didn't care, he was not a person who liked to talk about it, so he immediately rode out of the horse, holding a spear, and went straight to Han Tao.
Seeing this, Han Tao also immediately attacked, Han Tao was born in martial arts, so he naturally had some skills, but his opponent was Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, and the head of the leopard.
The two only fought for a dozen rounds, and Han Tao not only fell into disadvantage everywhere, but was about to be defeated and escape.
Where is Lin Chong willing to let him go, this is the first battle with the official army, if Han Tao is captured or killed, it can greatly improve the morale of the Liangshan army, and it can also kill the officers and soldiers.
Hu Yanzhuo, the chief general of the official army, saw clearly that it was difficult for Han Tao to even escape, so he danced his double whip, rode the horse that sat down and rushed forward.
"Don't bully too much!"
Liangshan also rushed out alone, it was Lu Zhishen, he shouted, raised the Zen staff in his hand, and ran towards Huyanzhuo.
Both of them were about the same, and they immediately fought together.
After more than 50 rounds of fighting, there was still no winner or loser.
On the other side, the Baisheng general Han Tao had already lost to Lin Chong, if it weren't for the deputy general Peng Qi to come to help, Lin Chong would have been defeated.
Despite this, the two fought Lin Chong together and still fell behind.
Seeing that Lin Chong had the upper hand with one enemy and two enemies, Hua Rong and Wu Song were not in a hurry to make a move.
Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi were shocked, only two people came out, and they were better than the three of them!
They were also shocked when they saw this group of grass robbers and the generals who were plundering the formation.
The two sides fought for a while, but they were still invincible.
