Huayin County is just an ordinary county, and it is not a frontier area, so the entire county has no more than 500 troops.

Seeing the grass bandits besieging the city outside, the magistrate and county lieutenant of Huayin County couldn't help being startled. The magistrate said: "There are so many bandits, there are thousands of them, what should we do?"

The county lieutenant was also frowning at the moment, and said: "We only have 500 soldiers, so we are no match at all. For now, the only way to do it is to close the city gate tightly and wait for the bandits to leave?"

The magistrate said: "That's the only way."

At this moment, the master behind him suddenly said: "My lords, Mr. Tong Guan, the Northwest Supervisor, is at the foot of Mount Hua. Why don't we send troops to seek help from Mr. Tong Guan? He has [-] troops and wants to eliminate these bandits. Easy as pie."

When the county magistrate and county lieutenant heard this, they felt that this was the reason, and immediately ordered people to sneak out of the city to seek help from Tong Guan.

Yang Xiong surrounded Huayin City in the morning, and in the afternoon, he launched a fierce attack on Huayin City. Hundreds of soldiers carried huge crossbars and slammed into the gate of Huayin City. of terror.You must know that the gates of a small city like Huayin City are not solid at all, and they can be easily smashed open.When the grass bandits rush in, the entire Huayin City will suffer.

"What to do? What to do? Has anyone left?" Zhixian asked anxiously.

"You have just climbed down from the city wall behind, and you will be able to see Lord Tong Guan in the afternoon at most." Zhu Bo said.

Only then did the magistrate feel relieved, and said, "Do you think those thieves can break open the city gate?"

The master was stunned for a moment, and said: "My lord, the county lieutenant has led troops to guard the city gate, and the stones are rolling down, and he also sent people to seal the city gate. There should be no problem?"

When he said this, Zhu Bo was also very worried, lest the city gate would be knocked open, and the whole family would be killed by grass bandits.

Not to mention the terror in the minds of Zhixian, Zhu Bo and others, outside the city gate, Yang Xiong attacked for a quarter of an hour and called the soldiers back.

"Brother Yang, why don't you continue to attack? We can take Huayin City directly." A soldier came to Yang Xiong's side and said, this soldier used to be Yang Xiong's Jianghu brother, and joined Liangshan with Yang Xiong.

"So what if it's captured? There are still hundreds of soldiers in Huayin City, and there will be losses of brothers by then." Yang Xiong said.

"Are our Liangshan soldiers still afraid of sacrifice?" the soldier asked angrily.

"It's not a matter of sacrificing or not. If the higher-ups order us to take down Huayin City, no matter how much sacrifice is made, I will take down this city. It's a pity that the higher-ups just let us feign an attack, in order to attract the main force at the foot of Huashan Mountain. Come here, that's why I told you to stop." Yang Xiong said.

The soldier was still aggrieved, Yang Xiong frowned and said, "What is the first rule of the military?"

The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, but they immediately replied: "All actions are subject to command."

Yang Xiong said: "Isn't that enough? We must obey the command in all actions, and the orders given to us by the superiors must be carried out. No matter how big the temptation is, we must carry out the orders from the superiors."

The soldier nodded and said no more.

In a dense forest more than ten miles away from here, Wu Dong, Lin Chong, Hu Sanniang, Cao Zheng and others are all here.

There is a map in front of them, and Hu Sanniang is telling everyone her strategy, saying: "In the east of Huayin County, there are dense forests everywhere, and there are hillsides everywhere, where people can hide. This time we only sent a brigade The soldiers attacked Huayin City, with such a small force, and the officers and soldiers have always looked down on the 'grass bandits', so there will not be many reinforcements coming. With our superior force and the right time and place, we can definitely give them a ten-sided attack Ambush, be sure to annihilate the reinforcements of the imperial court."

There are much more vegetation in this era than later generations, and there are many more places where people can hide.Then Hu Sanniang began to specify where to set up an ambush, and there were more than ten places where she set up an ambush, all of which were extremely secretive places.After the enemy entered the encirclement, these more than ten ambushes attacked at the same time. With the absolutely superior force, coupled with the right time and place, there would be no problem in annihilating the officers and soldiers.

"Brothers and sisters, your Flying Daggers is okay against infantry, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate against cavalry?" Lin Chong said.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, the only cavalry at the foot of Mount Hua is Hu Yanzhuo, but the possibility of Hu Yanzhuo riding is extremely low." Hu Sanniang said.

"How do you know?" Lin Chong asked.

Hu Sanniang said: "Rescuing Huayin County is also a military exploit. Hu Yanzhuo is not Tong Guan's confidant, how could Tong Guan give this credit to Hu Yanzhuo?"

When Lin Chong heard this was the truth, he nodded immediately, admiring in his heart, and said with a smile: "My brother and sister are very thoughtful, they are really geniuses in using soldiers."

Hu Sanniang blushed slightly, not daring to accept such admiration, and said: "If there are no accidents, the court officers and soldiers will arrive tonight, and we must prepare for battle."

At the foot of Huashan Mountain, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have been besieging Huashan Mountain for more than half a year, but Huashan Mountain is too difficult and dangerous to rush up.

The emperor hated Song Jiang very much, and kept ordering him to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress Song Jiang. He wrote and scolded Tong Guan, Hu Yanzhuo and others who were "ineffective".Tong Guan and Hu Yanzhuo were also very anxious and wanted to wipe out Song Jiang quickly.

This day, Tian Tongguan called all the generals together and said, "What good way do you have to conquer Mount Hua?"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Master En, there has been a road in Huashan since ancient times, and the terrain is so difficult and dangerous. Even if we have a large number of soldiers, it is impossible to capture it in a short time."

One of Tong Guan's generals stood up and said, "Master En, we've been besieging them for a few days, and they're probably running out of food, so they won't last long."

Tong Guan frowned, and said: "As far as I know, there are several small roads on Mount Hua. Most people can't get down, but those masters in the rivers and lakes can get down. What if Song Jiang comes down from the mountain secretly? Then even Shaohua Mountain All the remaining evils have been wiped out, but we can't explain to His Majesty if we escaped from Song Jiang?"

Hu Yanzhuo was actually wondering about this question all the time, and said: "Master En, in fact, it is enough for us to wipe out all the remaining evils of Shaohua Mountain so that they cannot be in the area around the cause of disaster. It shouldn't matter if you escape one or two leaders?"

Tong Guan said a little anxiously: "What do you know? Even if everyone escapes, as long as Song Jiang is caught, we have made a great contribution. If Song Jiang is not caught, killing everyone is useless."

As for why the emperor hated Song Jiang, Tong Guan naturally knew the reason.But this matter involved the emperor's privacy, he did not dare to tell Hu Yanzhuo and others, but just showed Hu Yanzhuo and others the importance of Song Jiang.

While everyone was discussing, soldiers suddenly came to report that Huayin County was under siege and was now in danger.

"What?" Tong Guan was taken aback, and said, "Huayin County is under siege? Could it be the people from Xixia?"

After thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. He shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the Xixia people to attack the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest. Even if they attack, it is impossible for me not to know. Who is attacking Huayin County?"

The soldier who came to report the news knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, the people who besieged Huayin County are a group of grassroots bandits."

Tong Guan frowned and said, "Grass bandits? How many are there?"

The soldier said: "There are about 1000 people. The bandits are so powerful that Huayin County can't stop them. When I left, the bandits were about to break through the city gate of Huayin County. My lord, please rescue them immediately."

Tong Guan was taken aback again, and said: "The bandit soldiers are so powerful? If so, I will immediately send troops to help."

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty all had the duty of guarding the land. Although Tong Guan and others came here to capture Song Jiang, if Huayin City was captured by others, they would not be able to explain to the court.When the court officials are impeached, we will not be able to deal with it.

At this time, Hu Yanzhuo had already stood up, and said: "Master En, let me lead the people to wipe out all these grassroots bandits."

Tong Guan glanced at him, then looked at several generals under him, and said, "General Huyan, you are tired these days, so you don't need to go. Bi Sheng, you must take 5000 people to Huayin County Eliminate the rebels, and I will remember you as a great contribution."

Sure enough, as Hu Sanniang guessed, Tong Guan would not give such credit to an outsider like Hu Yanzhuo.

A general stood up, it was Bi Sheng, and said: "Master En, there is no need for so many officers and soldiers for a mere 1000 grassroots bandits."

Officers and soldiers don't take the grass bandits seriously, they always feel that the grass bandits are vulnerable, especially these powerful troops in the northwest, it is even more impossible to take the grass bandits seriously.

Tong Guan said: "It's better to bring more people, now there is no need for so many people at the foot of Mount Hua."

Bi Sheng nodded, immediately set up his soldiers and horses, and headed towards Huayin County.

******

The mobilization of 5000 soldiers and horses is so powerful that it is impossible to hide it from others even in the darkest night.

Liangshanbo had a large number of scouts at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and immediately passed the news.

"Order all the soldiers not to act without authorization, and wait for the enemy to come to the encirclement before launching a full-scale attack." Hu Sanniang was a little worried, and gave the order again.

The last time I commanded a battle of thousands of people in Jeju Island, but this time it was a battle of ten thousand people.Moreover, the last battle of Jeju Island was fought ignorantly, unlike this time when she had set up a battle plan and waited for the enemy to encircle her. She felt extremely nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.

At this moment, Wu Dong came to her side and said, "Don't be nervous."

Hu Sanniang nodded lightly, smiled charmingly at Wu Dong, and said, "Don't worry, I will mobilize the strength of the entire army and turn it into an iron fist to crush the enemy."

Wu Dong couldn't help laughing, thinking that this eldest lady is really interested in leading troops, and her temperament is quite different from that of Li Shishi and Pan Jinlian.
