Water Margin people

"Die!"

Lu Zhishen shouted loudly. He caught the flaw in Wanyan Loushi's moves, slammed down the water-milling Zen staff in his hand, and headed directly towards Wanyan Loushi's face.

Wanyan Loushi was shocked and raised his spear to resist.

The water mill Zen staff and the spear collided together. The spear raised by Wanyan Loushi with both hands fell directly. The spear had reached near the chest, and the water mill Zen staff was about to hit his chest.

"No!"

Wanyan Loushi roared, and with sudden force, he deflected Lu Zhishen's blow to the side.

"withdraw!"

Wanyan Loushi shouted an order to the Jin army beside him, saying that the troops and horses he brought this time were too few, and the surrounding area was mountainous and the terrain was narrow. They were not used to fighting in such a place, and they were more used to open areas.

"Don't let Fanzi go!"

Lu Zhishen yelled, "The opportunity to block the enemy's cavalry on such a narrow mountain road is very rare, and we must not let it go easily."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng roared at the same time, and led their troops to attack from both sides. They wanted to cut off the enemy's military formation and prevent the enemy from looking at each other.

"hateful!"

Wanyan Loushi's face was livid. While resisting Lu Zhishen's strong attack, he slowly retreated. The Jin army behind him also began to gather, not giving the enemy a chance to invade inside.

"Wanyan Loushi, if you dismount and accept surrender, can I spare your life?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Wanyan Lou's room and laughed.

"Don't even think about it, monk!"

Wanyan Loushi yelled, "There has never been a general in the Kingdom of Jin who surrendered."

"Then die here!"

Although Lu Zhishen tried to persuade him to surrender, his offensive did not stop at all. He did not really want to persuade him to surrender, but to shake Wanyan Loushi's heart.

Lu Zhishen's offensive was very fierce. He swung the Shuimo Zen Staff with great force, and Wanyan Loushi was exhausted from fighting.

It's not that Wanyan Loushi can't defeat Lu Zhishen, but that the army is now at a disadvantage and he needs to concentrate on commanding the army. With his multitasking, he is no match for Lu Zhishen.

As the battle continued, the Qi army began to compress the Jin army's formation.

"Are those people from Qi so powerful?"

Du Chong, who was not far away, looked livid. He thought that the Jin army could easily defeat those Qi soldiers and horses, but now it was the Qi soldiers and horses that had the advantage.

"Sir, let's go quickly!"

The housekeeper urged Du Chong in a low voice. Now that the two armies were fighting and no one was paying attention to them, it was the perfect time for them to escape.

"We can't leave! We have to help!"

Du Chong looked at the battle group and gritted his teeth and said.

"what?"

Everyone looked at Du Chong with horror on their faces. They were just domestic servants and guards. They were very difficult to deal with bandits. What was in front of them was a real killing army. Their legs were trembling just looking at them. How could they dare to join the battle?

"waste!"

Du Chong frowned as he looked at the shivering servants and nursing staff, wondering why he had raised such a bunch of trash.

"Go and set fire to the forests on both sides!"

Du Chong pointed to the forest on one side and ordered to the servants and guards. He knew that these servants and guards were of no use. They would be like chickens and dogs if they participated in the war.

So Du Chong came up with the idea of ​​setting fire to the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road. Although the mountains and forests were lush in midsummer, it was not difficult to set fire to them in the hot weather.

Now the Qi army has surrounded the Jin army, and the Qi army is on both sides of the mountain road. Setting fire can force the Qi army back.

Du Chong can no longer return to the Song Dynasty, and is being hunted by the Qi State. His only hope is the Jin State, and he has no acquaintances in the Jin State and has no contacts with the Jin State. It would be difficult for him to be accepted by the Jin State in the past. If If he can show kindness to the Kingdom of Jin, the situation will be different.

Although the servants and guards were afraid, they could only listen to Du Chong and divided into two teams to set fire.

The mountain fire quickly started to burn, and as soon as the northwest blew, the mountain fire spread down the mountain road.

"Why is it on fire?"

Lu Fang's face changed slightly as he was furiously attacking the Jin army. Their army was on the periphery, and this fire would directly threaten them.

"Quickly, kill!"

Wanyan Loushi roared in surprise when he saw the fire. He was ready to fight to the death, but the fire gave them a chance to break out. "what happened?"

Lu Zhishen roared angrily. The Jin army was about to be annihilated, but the fire affected their formation, which rekindled the desperate Jin army's fighting spirit.

"It's that Du Chong!"

Guo Sheng pointed at Du Chong and his group in the distance and said.

The fire spread, and the army of Qi State fled away from the flames. The soldiers were not afraid of the fire, but the horses were not. When they saw the flames coming, the horses, which were naturally afraid of flames, became restless.

"go!"

Wanyan Loushi was overjoyed and headed into the mountains with his army. Their war horses were also afraid of flames, but they had grown up on horses since childhood, and their control of the horses was unmatched by the Qi army.

"General!"

Du Chong looked at Wanyan Loushi who was coming over and immediately shouted.

"Walk together!"

Wanyan Loushi also knew that the person in front of him had set the fire to help him get out of the siege, and shouted.

"it is good!"

Du Chong was overjoyed and summoned his servants and nurses who had been prepared to follow the Jin army.

"Master, shall we chase?"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng gathered their soldiers and arrived at Lu Zhishen's side.

"Forget it, I can't catch up!"

Lu Zhishen held the reins of the war horse with one hand and shook his head. Fires had started all around, and the war horses were frightened and uneasy. In this case, they could not catch up with the Jin army.

"Alas, no matter how hard you train, you will still be a little bit behind."

Lu Zhishen said helplessly that the combat effectiveness of their cavalry was no worse than that of the prairie cavalry, but their control of the horses was still not as good as those who had been riding horses since childhood.

"Then Du Chong really deserves to die!"

Lu Fang said angrily, Du Chong first dug up the Yellow River and released water to flood Liangshan, and now he set fire to the mountain to rescue the Jin army. Either one of these two things deserves death.

"A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple! When the army arrives, cross the Taihang Mountains and kill them all!"

Guo Sheng said.

Lu Fang quickly reminded Guo Sheng with a wink that the great monk was right next to him.

"Master, I didn't mean that!"

Guo Sheng quickly looked at Lu Zhishen and explained.

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Zhishen waved his hand nonchalantly and rode to Sun Xu's side.

At this time, Sun Xu was already lying on the ground. When he was watching the battle just now, he wanted to step forward to help, but as soon as he moved, he felt weak and fell off his horse.

"how is he?"

Lu Zhishen asked looking at the military doctor who was treating Sun Xu.

"Privy Councilor, this man's injuries are not fatal, but he lost too much blood."

The military doctor replied that the most serious injury on Sun Xu's body was the arrow on his shoulder, and the rest were ordinary trauma.

The military doctor cut open Sun Xu's armor, administered acupuncture, and took out the arrow.

"what!"

Sun Xu, who was in a coma, woke up from the pain.

"Looks like I can't die!"

Lu Zhishen heard Sun Xu's loud shouting.

"Ruda, kill those people?"

Sun Xu looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"Kill some and run away with the rest!"

Lu Zhishen pointed to the corpses on the battlefield not far away. In this battle, more than 300 Jin cavalry were killed. This would be considered a great victory in the Song Dynasty, but it was a bit underwhelming in the Qi Kingdom.
