Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 130

...

"Neither of them, I see that you are a hero, General Huyan, and I have a heart of love for talents, and I want to recruit you to help the heavens together, what do you think?"

Hu Yanzhuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said: "Village Master Li has such a big heart. I am about to break through the Wanzi City of Li Zhaizhu, and Li Zhaizhu wants to recruit me at this time!"

While saying this, Hu Yanzhuo quietly gestured to Han Tao and Peng Qi with his hands behind his back, signaling them to prepare to attack the city!
The reason why Han Tao and Peng Qi were recommended by Hu Yanzhuo was because they had the best understanding with Hu Yanzhuo.

Seeing the gesture made by Hu Yanzhuo, they immediately whispered an order to Ma Jun: "Get ready, after a while the general gives the order, you will charge, rush to the pass, and then use bows and arrows to suppress the thieves on the pass... Pass it on!"

Li Yan seemed to be completely ignorant of the small movements of the officers and soldiers, and said: "Didn't General Hu Yan hear the explosion at the foot of the mountain? You are already trapped in my Liangshan Po. How much food do you have? How many days? Three days? Or Five days? As long as we hold this last pass, it doesn’t take much, just three or five days, and you will be so hungry that you don’t even have the strength to hold weapons. Squeeze Bian, just Squeeze Bian, and General Huyan, I'm afraid you will kneel down and beg me to recruit you."

Hu Yanzhuo was unmoved and said: "If I break the Wanzi City of Li Zhaizhu, when I am on the ground, I am afraid that Li Zhaizhu will be the one who knelt down and begged for mercy."

Li Yandao: "Does General Huyan think that my third pass will be easily broken by you like the first two passes? You may as well tell you the truth. I deliberately let you wait for the first two passes. The purpose is to communicate with General Huyan. Talk to me, there are tens of thousands of horses in my Wanzi city, countless generals, rolling trees, stones, bows and crossbows, and I personally guard it, not to mention you, even if Di Qing is reborn, he will never be able to break through my iron wall!"

Hu Yanzhuo said disdainfully: "Arrogance! A frog in a well! You are not ashamed to speak out! How dare you say that you, a small puddle, can withstand General Mian Nie!"

Li Yan smiled and said: "If you don't believe that I have this strength, how about a bet?"

Hu Yanzhuo asked: "What is the bet? What is the bet?"

Li Yandao: "Just bet that the general can't break through my pass. If the general can break through my pass, I will immediately capture him without any resistance. I promise that I will not make any resistance from below, and I will not burn the food and grass in the city. If the general cannot break through my pass. General, don't think about it, and don't want to be burdened by the reputation of the Huyan family, how about committing yourself to be the leader of Li Yan's subordinates?"

Without even thinking about it, Hu Yanzhuo said: "Okay!" Then he waved the iron whip in his hand and shouted: "The horse army is here to suppress the bandits on the pass!"

Following Hu Yanzhuo's order, the three thousand horses rushed out neatly, and at the same time shot arrows down the pass!
Li Yan might still be immersed in the bet with Hu Yanzhuo, and didn't react to the cunning Hu Yanzhuo's sudden attack in the first place!
By the time Li Yan reacted, Liang Shanjun had been crushed by the rain of arrows shot by the officer's Ma Jun!

Moreover, the horse army of the official army is still advancing rapidly towards the pass!

In other words, the rain of arrows from the officers and soldiers will become more and more fierce, and Liangshan's army will not be able to fight back for a while!

What's more, it is useless for the soldiers of the Liangshan Army to take risks to fight back - their crossbow arrows are not a big threat to the official army and horse army, which are all armored. Even the god arm crossbow can't stop these "heavy tanks" from advancing!

Seeing that Ma Jun had already opened the way forward, Hu Yan said in a loud voice: "You have also heard what the bandit said, if we can't break through here, I'm afraid we will die without a place to die, so I order, everyone, listen clearly , everyone, regardless of soldiers or peasants, charge together, and I will break this city in one fell swoop... If the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed for two hours!"

Han Tao and Peng Qi shouted in great concern: "Brothers, follow us to grab money, food, and women!"

After saying that, Han Tao and Peng Qi rushed towards the pass with their respective troops pushing the ladder carts against the ladders, while a battalion of infantry pushed their carts and headed straight for the gate!

It's too tempting to rob money, food, and girls, not to mention that they already have the chance to win, so all the officers and soldiers, including civilian husbands, rushed towards the pass in a hurry!
Hu Yanzhuo then said to Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun: "Hu Yanzhuo hereby promises that if the three generals can break through this city, the first victory in this battle will belong to the three generals!"

The reason why Hu Yanzhuo was able to break through the two passes overnight was largely due to the bravery of Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun, including the accidentally injured Cheng Ziming. If Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun could overcome this The most critical third pass, giving the first credit to the three of them, is definitely well deserved!
And what Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun wanted was this first achievement, otherwise, it would not be enough to make up for their disadvantage in protecting Gao Yanei!
The effort that should have been put in before has been done, and now it's time to harvest, how can Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun have any reason to shirk?

Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun said in unison: "Don't dare to obey!"

After saying that, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun put on their equipment and rushed towards the pass, leaving only Hu Yanzhuo and his personal guard camp on the spot.

On the pass.

Li Yan, who was leaning against the wall to avoid the arrows, poked his head out when the arrows were not so dense, and looked at the dark people attacking by the morning light, then quickly retracted his head, Then he said sincerely: "This Hu Yanzhuo is really a general, the timing is really good."

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile: "No matter how powerful he is, he must be defeated by his brother."

Li Yan said with a smile: "When did the upright Military Master Wen learn to flirt with you? This bad habit is not to be tolerated. I fully expect you, Military Master Wen, to bring Liangshanbo's atmosphere into a good place."

Wen Huanzhang said: "I'm not flattering, but I sincerely admire my brother. After this battle, I, Liang Shanbo, will be the leader in the green forest world, and my brother will be the No. 1 in the green forest world!"

Li Yan said leisurely: "A big tree attracts the wind."

Wen Huanzhang said: "Brother is testing me? The imperial court labored and mobilized people to suppress me in Liangshanbo. As a result, the whole army was wiped out in the first battle. How dare you come again so easily?"

Li Yan said: "I will always come again."

Speaking of this, Li Yan turned his head to look at the officers and soldiers who had already rushed within range, and then said to Ling Zhen: "Let's get ready."

Ling Zhen immediately said: "Yes! Brother!", and then went to command his artillery battalion to push the [-] unconscionable cannons that had been prepared to the shooting port, and then waited for further orders from Li Yan while aiming...

At the same time, the infantry with the thunderbolt and the explosive pack also moved to the position designated by Li Yan before and stood up...

Li Yan no longer talked about the aftermath with Wen Huanzhang - this is not a good time to talk about it, it is better to defeat Hu Yanzhuo first.
