Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The sunlight passed through the middle position and the afternoon wind was a little weak.

The passing cavalry made a sound of wind, and from time to time someone jumped off the horse and yelled for the military doctor. Then someone came and carried the bleeding, unconscious soldiers to the back for treatment.

There was a knight who kept on galloping into the center of the army. The young Wanyan Huo Nu did not even have time to catch her breath, and ran to the main tent in two steps. Before she arrived, she heard the sound: "Dad, Dad! The Qi army is sending troops."

In the tent, Wanyan Loushi, who was talking to Wanyan Shitumen, was stunned. He immediately stood up and looked at his son who ran in: "Take a breath and speak slowly."

Wanyan Huo Nu first bowed to Wanyan Shi Tu Men, then said, "Today I led some people to investigate outside the Qi army camp and found that the enemy camp gate was wide open. Judging from the flags, at least 15,000 soldiers and horses have left the camp, along with the enemy's royal flag and siege equipment. Judging from the direction they are heading, they are definitely preparing to attack the city."

"Finally they've moved." Wanyan Shitumen stroked his beard, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up with his burly figure. "For the past two days, I've watched the Qi army camping there without moving. It's been so boring. This turtle has finally moved out of its nest. Next, we should avenge the southern expedition."

"Uncle, don't be careless. The Qi army's actions are indeed a bit strange." Wanyan Loushi frowned and looked at the two people in front of him with some doubts: "I now suspect that the King of Qi is not in Pennsylvania..."

He glanced at the geomancy map and was silent as he looked at the north of Huntong River. He had some guesses in his mind over the past two days. However, on the one hand, the Qi army camp was in front, and on the other hand, there were also troops stationed in Ningjiang Prefecture. Unless the Qi army mobilized the entire country to invade the north, it would be impossible to drag itself here in Pennsylvania while crossing the river to besiege Huntong City.

Similarly, he could not withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River at this time. Not to mention that the scouts had not yet discovered that the King of Qi was not there. Once he really crossed the river and returned north, it would be a heavy blow to the morale in Binzhou City. If the Qi army took the opportunity to attack and destroy them, the Wanyan tribe would be declared defeated.

Wanyan Shitumen was also a veteran on the battlefield. Hearing this, he immediately knew what Wanyan Loushi was worried about. He frowned and thought about it, then shook his head: "You are worrying too much, Marshal. I don't think Qi has the strength to attack Binzhou and Ningjiangzhou at the same time."

"I think so too..." Wanyan Loushi nodded first, then frowned and said, "I just always feel uneasy." After thinking for a while, he looked at his son and said, "Send a team of scouts across the river to investigate Huntong City. Tell them to be careful along the way. If there is any problem, come back immediately."

"Just let the practice room go. This kid is more careful."

Wanyan Shitumen said something from behind, and when Wanyan Huonu saw that her father had no objection, she said "Yes," turned around and ran outside to find someone.

Wanyan Loushi looked at the older Shi Tumen and said, "Uncle, let's gather our troops and try to steal his camp."

"Very good. If we can break into their camp and burn their food supplies, the Qi army will not be able to stay here any longer." Wanyan Shitumen laughed: "Wuqimai can support them for a while, but not forever."

Wanyan Loushi grabbed the knife from the weapon rack and hung it on his waist, then picked up the big knife and walked out: "We must also be careful that they set an ambush outside the camp."

"Haha, the soldiers of our Wanyan tribe are not vegetarians either."

The older Jurchen general laughed and followed him out of the tent.

Soon, trumpets sounded in the mountain stream, various shouts were heard, soldiers in armor jumped on their horses, and the horses slowly galloped out of the open camp gate. Amidst the roar, a total of 8,000 cavalrymen charged towards the southeast.

……

That afternoon, Wanyan Loushi led his cavalry to attack the Qi army. Wanyan Xishi, as the son of Wanyan Shitumen, was also training in the army and was ordered to lead scouts across the river to investigate.

The boat carrying people and horses swayed slowly on the river. The Jurchen youth who got off took a breath and said, "Come with me. Let's check the area first."

"Mouke, why don't you go directly to Huntong City?"

"No." Wanyan Xishi shook his head and pointed forward with his spear in his mouth: "The commander is worried that there will be changes in the rear. Although we don't know whether it is true or not, we should still be careful."

Then he kicked the horse's belly, and the warhorse Herodius broke into a run. A dozen scouts hurriedly rode their horses to follow behind, raising a trail of dust on the ground.

...Under the same sky, Xi Sheng's army in the south raised Lu Bu's big banner.

Zeng Tu's cavalry was the vanguard leading the way. At this time, everyone along the way knew that the Qi army was there, so no one dared to walk nearby. As a result, no civilians or scouts were found hiding in the woods.

Behind them, Lin, Tang and Xianzhen Camp raised their blood-red flags, protecting the rear army and siege equipment, and marched towards Pennsylvania with murderous intent.

At a distance of six miles, the cavalry and infantry stopped. Xi Sheng went up to the lookout car, looked at the top of the city for a while, took a breath and said, "Let Zeng Tu lead the cavalry to scout from behind. Han Shizhong, Hua Rong, and Di Lei quickly organize the troops. The main army will slowly press forward. After a meal, we will go forward to test it."

Under the daylight, the sound of rumbling footsteps could be heard, and square formations were deployed on the plains. Then, black figures slowly pressed away into the distance like dark clouds.

In the distant city, the sound of golden bells rang out, and teams of armored Jurchen soldiers ran up the wall. Wanyan Chang squinted his eyes and watched the black line at the end of his sight moving towards him, shouting repeatedly: "Have the young and strong bring up the stones quickly, and the archers lie in wait on both sides. Finally, adjust the catapults. I don't want to hear anyone come and say that they can't be used! Let the Moukes of each army go forward to command. If any section of the wall is attacked, jump down and apologize!"

Take a deep breath and puff out your chest: "Prepare for war--"

A black figure pushed out a catapult and a ladder. The young and strong men who were carrying stones put them in. The officers of the Qi army who were in charge turned around.

At the center of the army, a command flag was waved.

The general drew his sword from his waist and raised it forward: "Release——"

Boom——

The rope was cut.

……

Boom boom boom——

The yellow dragon was flying in the air, and the Jurchen knights looked at the flag fluttering in front of them with gloomy faces.

The distance from the Tibetan army's location to the Qi army camp was more than thirty miles. Along the way, Wanyan Huo Nu brought scouts and led the army ahead with ease. When it was time for him to launch a surprise attack, he just wanted to be quick, so there was no need to be cautious and check everywhere.

"Dad, the Qi army camp is ahead!"

Wanyan Huonu in front pulled the reins and shouted to her father amid the sound of thundering horse hooves.

Wanyan Loushi raised his head, looking at the large banner with the Chinese character Qi in front of him and the wooden camp fence, and raised the sword in his hand: "Blow the horn, blow the horn, and order the whole army to break through here and kill——"

Wuwuwu——

The horn sounded briefly.

"kill--"

A shout came from the mouth of the knight on horseback, and the knight behind suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. The horse's hooves shook the ground, and tiny stones jumped up in the vibration and were stepped on by the horse's hooves.

Boom——(End of this chapter)
