Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 230
The cold wind blows, and the spirit of the cold breath is blown. The flags are fluttering above the head. Teams of cavalry are rising and falling with their mounts. Three thousand cavalry and the same number of infantry are lined up in a mighty formation. Passing by, it looks like ants crossing the border from a distance. While shaking the earth, the sound of horseshoes also sounded like thunder in the wilderness.

More than ten miles away, forests and mountains are connected to the wilderness. In the open view above, a man and a woman are standing on the edge of the high mountain with a dozen companions. They are carefully looking at the marching team below. They can see that the man is dressed in moon-white clothes, and the outer cover is black. The bat-patterned cloak is very handsome in life, with a height of seven feet and above, with a very handsome appearance, her hair has a faint luster like black jade, and she is meticulously combed, and the skin on her face is as delicate and smooth as a woman's.

The woman next to her was the beautiful girl from the village outside the Yizhou prefecture. Now she was wearing a plain brocade jacket with a monochrome mink fur and a white foxtail scarf around her neck. The extravagance is overwhelming.

"Hui Niang, don't worry, Xiaoke heard that the leader of the army is the double-whip general Hu Yanzhuo. I heard that this person has worked in the Western Army for many years. He has experienced battles, and the soldiers and horses under his command are all trained by him personally. Coming out, it is not comparable to the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Jingdong. This time, we will surely wipe out the Liangshan grassroots bandits and capture the leader of the bandits. At that time, you and I will go to Beijing to watch this gangster be punished by the Ming Dynasty. This will also comfort Uncle Liu and the two. My brother's soul in heaven."

"I can't wait to see that thief Lu cut into pieces right now." The girl looked expressionless, her eyes were a little hot as she looked at the army below, and she took a deep breath and said, "I hope it's like what Yunlang said, this General Huyan can do it right away." When it comes to success, I just don’t know if he knows Liangshan’s true strength, although I hate the Liangshan bandits, but he can win consecutive victories against the officers and soldiers, which shows that he has something that is not comparable to ordinary local bandits.”

"Of course, when did Yunlong lie to you?" The young man turned his head to look at her. Seeing that the young girl was still in high spirits, he thought for a while and said, "My father is the general manager of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. Make friends, if there is any disharmony at that time, I will go to the court and go out in person, so I will definitely avenge Uncle Liu, so I can rest assured."

Only then did Liu Huiniang turn her beautiful face, and quickly made a wish: "If so, thank you Yunlang."

"Why do you and I say thank you?" Yunlong stretched out his hand quickly, wanting to grab the girl, but the girl dodged without a trace, his eyes glanced at the boy's disappointed expression, his eyes flickered, and he gave him a shy look just now, Jiao Didi Said: "Let's go down first, I don't know where the two will fight."

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and find out!" Yunlong looked at the girl's shy appearance and half of her body softened. Hearing this, he hurriedly shouted at the followers who followed, and three or five strong men rushed out immediately. .

The handsome boy smiled gently at the girl: "There are many stones on the mountain, Hui Niang be careful."

Liu Huiniang thanked her, then looked back and followed the young man down the mountain. After a while, more than a dozen horses raised smoke and dust, and went north along the road.

……

The sun moved westward, casting the afterglow on the horizon, the sound of paddling water stopped, Ma Ling jumped from the boat to the pier, and the fast-running water village ran all the way to the top of the mountain, seeing Yu Cheng who was guarding the door, Before he could say hello, he nodded and barged in.

"Master, there is news."

In the study room, three regular guests, Qiao Lie, Wu Jiao, and Liu Min, were all present, and now there are three more people, Fang Xuedu, Xi Sheng, and Du Po. Hearing the voice, he hurriedly turned his head, and saw that the god was not breathing heavily, and was walking. Entering in: "The officers and soldiers did not hide their whereabouts. Since last night, they gathered a few rout soldiers. They waited all the way up the Wuzhang River and sent countless scouts as they marched. The two commanders, Du and Tang, saw that there were many people on the other side, so they didn't go. To entangle with him and others, now that the officers and soldiers have entered the barracks of Juye County, the scouts can no longer investigate, so I will report back first."

"Have you ever collected ships?" Wu Jiao looked at Ma Ling and asked.

"Never." Shen Juzi shook his head.

"So it seems that the other party wants to fight with us?"

"It's really unwise to use three thousand cavalry to attack the stronghold. If I were Hu Yanzhuo, I wouldn't attack by water."

Everyone heard that they were discussing in twos and threes. The figure sitting in the main seat stood up and walked towards Kanyutu. The voice of speaking gradually stopped, and they all looked back. A deep voice sounded in the room: "Jeju has lost a lot in the battle with us. , and now that the vitality has not recovered, it is just right for the imperial army to enter the barracks."

Pointing his finger at the sign representing Juye on the Kanyu map, he turned his head: "It is said that this cavalry was trained by him?"

"It's the same news from the middle of Beijing." Qiao Lie nodded, looked at Lu Bu and said, "It's just that I didn't understand one thing. The imperial court has always been short of horses. Even the horses he went to battle were also allocated by the imperial court. He has trained so many cavalry soldiers, so he can say that it is hard to understand how he was able to train these cavalry boys in Caizhou."

"Maybe it's his family's contribution?" Ma Ling tilted his head and asked.

"Isn't Huyan's family a country gentry who doesn't have much discernment, and uses so much money to support the entire government?" The Taoist shook his head, and didn't say any more. Ma Ling scratched his head, but couldn't explain why.

The tall figure above thought for a moment, then waved his hands: "Forget it, don't think too much."

Walked two steps forward, went to the table and knocked on the wooden board: "A field battle with the cavalry of the officers and soldiers has already been decided. If he wants to have a foreign war, it would be good. If he doesn't fight, he must find a way to let him He came out to fight according to someone's idea."

The tiger's eyes swept across the people in the room: "Xi Sheng listens to the order."

Qing Huang's figure stood up quickly, stepped forward and bowed, "Here!"

"I order you to control the generals of the infantry with full authority. The new troops trained by Di Lei will also enter your department. Tomorrow, the scouts will find out their marching route, and we will look for opportunities in the field to fight with the officers and soldiers." His eyes turned, and he looked aside Liu Zhibo: " Liu Min, you are ready to supply the infantry with a batch of refusal equipment."

The sitting scholar stood up to take the order, and Lu Bu continued: "Du Po, you and a certain cavalry will each lead a cavalry to look for opportunities in the field. If the timing is not right, don't force it. We have few cavalry waiting, so it's not worthwhile to fight recklessly with them." .”

"Follow the command."

Seeing this, Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, walked back to the table and sat down: "You also know that although the soldiers in the cottage are well-trained, they were sent down by the officers and soldiers before, but they lack blood. hand."

Everyone nodded slightly thoughtfully when they heard the words, and the figure in front of the table raised his head slightly: "The elite soldiers are all made by fighting. If you don't ask him to wait, you will become a soldier of hundreds of battles immediately, but you don't want all the soldiers you lead in the future to be soldiers." Crushing waste."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all echoed.

This night, Liang Shanshui Army Office was brightly lit. Liu Min led Deng Fei and Wu Li to command the soldiers in the field to load the equipment and grains that should be used tomorrow onto the boat. From time to time, some generals shouted to speed up.

The navy is doing the final inspection on several ships. Bundles of arrows are put into wooden boxes and carried onto the ship. Wei Zhaode stands on the deck and looks at the busy figure, squinting his eyes, then looks up. Facing the mountain behind him, his dark face was uncertain in the flickering firelight.

On the mountain, Qiao Lie in a Taoist robe led two ordinary-looking youths into Xi Sheng's room.

……

The next day.

Juye County, military camp.

The deafening sound of horseshoes disappeared as the winding cavalry came out of the camp. Under the clear sky, Han Tao and Peng Qi led the infantry in front, and the double whips led the cavalry behind. The tip of the grass that had just emerged green was trampled into the soil, and the footsteps that followed were enough to make this place barren for a while.

In the middle of the marching team, under the banner of the coach, Hu Yanzhuo, who was neatly dressed, stroked the mane of the imperial horse. As the horse walked, its body heaved up and down, and its eyes looking forward were sometimes ecstatic, sometimes serious, and from time to time there were horses running back to bring them back. The latest news is that the road ahead is safe, there is no one blocking, killing the opponent's scouts and other news.

This gang of thieves wouldn't go back to the depths of the water after a fight, would they?
Slightly frowning, Hu Yanzhuo was thinking about the possibility of attacking the stronghold by water, and he shook his head and gave up such nonsense after thinking about it for a moment.

If that's the case, let's wait for someone from Beijing...

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, swayed as the horse walked, and was in a daze, when a horse galloped ahead, and the sound of the horse's hooves brought the whip general back to his senses.

"Reporting to the commander, the figure of the Liangshan bandit is found in front of him."

Riding on the royal horse, he straightened his back and said eagerly, "Where is it?"

"Twenty miles ahead, we are setting up a formation of vehicles and rejecting horses."

"Oh?" Hu Yanzhuo showed a smile on his face, and patted the leg armor with his right hand whip: "This is a decisive battle with me in the field."

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and shouted: "Come here, let Han Tao and Peng Qi in front come to the Central Army."

Under the sky, the soldiers carrying orders were running back and forth, and after a while, two generals in full armor rode to the commander's banner, and turned around for a while.

The army, speeding up the march.

……

The sun is gradually brightening, the high hanging sun exudes a comfortable temperature, the cold wind is blowing, the hunting flags roll up and down, and in the wilderness, there are loud footsteps wandering, holding high the flags with the words Han and Peng. Bring the flag into view.

The formation of chariots erected in Liangshan formed a circle, and the horse-rejecting piles stood outside. The soldiers in the inner circle were standing tensely with their gun shields. Behind them, rows of guns stood erect, and the archers with sabers hanging from their waists pulled down their strings. Tried the touch, looked up and looked around from time to time a little nervous.

Several commanders gathered beside Xi Sheng, looking at the opposite side with some doubts, and pushed off the iron helmet: "Why don't you see the cavalry?"

"Where's the scout? Tell him to find out quickly."

"It's too late, this direction..." Xi Sheng shook his head, looked around in a blink of an eye and said, "Let Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye step forward and stand in front of the army. Don't let the infantry destroy the horses and chariots. Order Di Lei will lead people to support at any time, and he will..."

Turning to look at the big black man, he said, "You lead someone to fill the gap left by Wen and Cui."

"Give it to my old man."

The burly man patted the iron armor on his chest, and with a clanging sound, he hurried down and entered the army and horses of the headquarters.

Amidst the roar of the general, the soldiers wearing helmets and leather armor came out of the chariot formation and gathered quickly. The shields were held tightly by hands, and the figure holding the spear was slightly excited while looking at the front with a sigh of relief. They were not cavalry , can hit.

On the ground, two groups of similar troops approached quickly. Han Tao and Peng Qi were not at the forefront. They were wearing the armor of the imperial army, and they were leading hundreds of burly imperial army in the rear, ready to go. Seeing Liangshan Some people stepped out of the horse-rejecting posts and formed a formation, their expressions changed slightly, and then calmed down again, and they raised their longbows to issue orders.

The next moment, a hasty whistle blew.

The closely packed formation advanced quickly, and the running archers raised their longbows, and someone stepped aside, like blooming flowers, opening the distance between people.

bang bang bang-

Dense slender black shadows soared into the air and swept across the sky.

"Vertical shield!"

The Liangshan general on the front line shouted hoarsely, and while the soldiers in the front row held up their shields, a voice from behind shouted hoarsely: "Shoot!"

When the first bow trembled, the sound of arrows piercing through the air rushed into the eardrums.

Whoosh whoosh—

Dense slender black shadows rose from behind the two phalanxes, crossed across the sky, and then fell down.

duo duo duo -

"what!"

The black rain of arrows fell into the crowd, piercing the shields like porcupine needles, and more people were born screaming with their wounds in their arms. The arrows shot by thousands of archers still caused damage.

"spread!"

The corners of Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye's eyes twitched, and at the same time as they shouted loudly, dozens of soldiers around them also shouted, and the dense formation began to move and gradually separated. Scattered, the loss seems to be much smaller than their own.

"Change the knife and fight!"

In front of them, Han Tao and Peng Qi issued orders again, threw away the longbow in their hands, put on a melee sword, blocked the falling arrows, cut off the shaft of the arrow stuck on the shield with one knife, and rushed forward with cold eyes. .

"Kill ah-"

Countless footsteps stepped on the ground, and the vibrating vocal cords roared with all their strength.

In the next moment, the crowd rushed up, shields blocked the shadows of guns and blades on the opposite side, and amidst the muffled sounds of swords and shields colliding, there was more of the sound of metal piercing into flesh and blood. Some people swung their weapons again, while others stared. He fell to the ground with his eyes fixed on death, stepped over the corpses of his comrades, and the charging sergeant crashed into the formation with shouts, spears and knives intertwined, and the rusty smell of blood permeated the air.

"Drink ah ah ah ah!"

Peng Qi slashed to death a soldier from Liang Shanzhai, and Han Tao, who was following him, flashed out from behind, and slashed to death another soldier who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Opening a hole, there is a faint situation of breaking through to the horse rejection post behind.

"Second brother, come back!" Wen Zhongrong yelled, and killed the officer Yuhou who was rushing forward with the knife in his hand. While walking around, he caught a glimpse of General Yusheng and General Tianmu rushing in behind him.

"Understood!" Cui Ye replied, and Fang Yao turned around. The two officers and soldiers in front of him, who heard the roar of the two, were slightly injured and tried their best to kill them. It was actually a moment to drag the mountain-moving warrior here.

Behind, Xi Sheng, who was standing on a high place, suddenly noticed that a black line appeared in the distance.

　PS:

　　Yunlong's father, Yun Tianbiao, is the general manager of land soldiers and horses in Jingyang Town, Shandong. If Xiao Ke didn't misunderstand and searched the wrong way, Jingyang Town here should be Jingyanggang, otherwise it would not be in Shandong, and Jingyanggang In Yanggu County, there is a strong army of der in Yanggu County. . .

　　ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, let’s consider the second setting.
