Water Margin Survival

"Brothers, I have ordered our entire army to return to the stronghold!" I saw a red-eyed burly man rushing to take Wang Lun's handbook, and flying horses to catch up with Xu Ning and Hao Siwen who were on patrol outside.

The two were analyzing the reason for the enemy's retreat at this time, when they heard Deng Fei's report, they both stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

Deng Fei didn't care to wipe his sweat, so he handed the letter to Xu Ning first, and then said: "Brother Lu Fang who heard the order said that the several pigeons received by the Shanzhai were delivered from different channels. This time, Zhang Yinglei is the real one. Retreat, now the brigade of cavalry has retreated to the border of Bozhou!"

At this time, Yunzhou has become a world for scouts and spies, not to mention Yizhou, which is Liangshan, and there are Zhugui's hotel system, Diting camp, and various horse camp scouts flooding this land, not to mention there are also repaying favors. The sporadic people who came here spontaneously came to report the intelligence of the officers and soldiers.

"Since this brigade has arrived in Bozhou, even if we make a comeback, we have already gone up the mountain, so we won't accompany you! Teacher Xu, should we retreat!" Hao Siwen looked at Xu Ning and asked.After the third battalion and the reserve army were terminated this time, Wang Lun appointed Xu Ning as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Hao Siwen as the military counselor, Qin Ming and Deng Fei were all under his control.

"Let's go! Although there is no big battle on this journey, it's just harassing each other. I'm afraid the brothers are exhausted. It's time to go back and have a good rest!" Xu Ning nodded, and Hao Siwen each ordered his confidants to go back and pass orders back Mountain.

The army was on patrol in the field, and the assembly was very fast. It didn't take much effort to turn horses with their respective commanders.Jogging towards the edge of the water.

Seeing that this battle was about to end, Hao Siwen had a lot of experience in his heart, and wanted to ask Xu Ning to share, but he was not in a hurry to return to the camp. He was just walking and discussing with Xu Ning on the horse, when a horse came hurriedly ahead. On the BMW, there was a general sitting on it. He was wearing a scarlet lacquer hat, a crimson robe, and a chain armor beast swallowing his shoulders.

Xu Ning and Hao Siwen met this man.They looked at each other puzzledly.I saw Xu Ning urging his horse to catch up and said: "Director Qin, do you have another order from your brother?"

Qin Ming lifted the rein of the horse sharply, reined in the horse and turned around, and after a beautiful sharp turn.Keep pace with Xu Ning.Then he opened his mouth and said, "No. I have something to ask you for!"

Seeing this, Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Boss Qin, please tell me!" Qin Ming's surname is Lie Ruhuo, and he only grabs the toughest bones on the battlefield.He never competed for fame and fortune, and was highly respected by other leaders of the Ma Jun, and Xu Ning was no exception.

"I heard that after going up the mountain, my brother will expand our horse army. Is it true?" Qin Ming didn't let the circle go, and bluntly expressed his doubts.The brother in front of him is the founder of Liangshan Bo Ma Jun. It is impossible for him not to hear the news about the major changes of Ma Jun.

Just at this time, Hao Siwen and Deng Fei also rushed forward, Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, signaling the four to retreat to the side of the road and let the army go first.

"My brother mentioned it to me that day. He really has this idea, and the horses we seized this time will definitely guarantee our army expansion, but here comes the problem, how much and how?" Xu Ning sighed.

"It's not like there are [-] reserve troops, and if we distribute them to a few battalions, it will expand?" Qin Ming knocked his stick on the ground and said loudly.

Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, this Thunderbolt really only cares about fighting and ignores everything else, where there are still 1000 reserve troops, the [-] people in the cottage are probably all included in Lu Junyi's organization.

"Now there are only 2000 people around us left in the reserve army. The 1000 people in the cottage have been organized into the seventh battalion of the Ma Army. It will be Jade Qilin Lu Junyi. The remaining 2000 people will all be filled by Coach Lin and his battalions. Not enough, what else do we need to expand the army?" Xu Ning shook his head and said to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, his mind was gone, and he scratched a little bit: "Now there is finally no shortage of horses, but a shortage of men! Why don't the reserve army train more men and horses!"

Xu Ning was in charge of the reserve army of the horse army. He shook his head and smiled when he saw that, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he heard his deputy Deng Fei say: "My brother, at that time the naval army expanded greatly, and the garrison didn't even have enough men and horses to guard the pass. Can we 3000 people is not bad! Besides, if there are more people, Teacher Xu and the younger brother will not be able to take care of them!"

"This..." Qin Mingjian slapped his head and said, "I'm the one who was impatient, so I'll apologize to you two!"

"It's all my brother, who is to blame?" Xu Ning shook his head and said, "We are all in a hurry, but unfortunately the situation is like this, we can't change people, so we have to go back and see what brother can do. "

Qin Ming nodded. At this time, it really seemed that a clever woman could not live without rice. This time, even the most difficult horses were brought back a lot, but they made troubles with the most indispensable people on weekdays. One horse, I'm afraid it won't be long before one person rides several horses.Qin Ming sighed, looked back and said suddenly:

"Zhang Yinglei, I've known him for a long time, but I didn't know that this guy is so cunning in fighting, and his fighting style is exactly the same as that of the Liao people. It's good to come and bite, and retreat if he can't bite. He will never fight easily! This way! Come on, I’m so overwhelmed that I want to die! It’s a good thing this donkey ran away, or else I would have caught him with a thousand or two thousand cavalry, and my brother would have rebelled against me, but it would not have solved the big problem!”

Xu Ning glanced at the smiling Hao Siwen, and thought that among the three battalions, Hao Siwen was the one who was most adapted to Zhang Yinglei's tactics, and he would fight tit for tat from time to time, which even made Zhang Yinglei a little bit helpless.It seems that among the reckless, there are really great talents. Hao Siwen has no experience in the army, and he has led the army for less than a year. He is really a genius for such achievements. He is worthy of the same name as Tang Bin and Guan Sheng. Dong Sanjie".

"It's not worth it to fight tough battles with them! Their 5000 troops are selected elites from the 5000 battalions of horse troops. Among our 2000 people, [-] of them have never been on the battlefield before. Only our third battalion can fight. In addition, the four battalions we lost before were too heavy, and my brother didn't want to see us make unnecessary sacrifices, so he forced them away with all his strength!" Xu Ning laughed.

"Forced to leave?" Deng Fei was taken aback and lost his voice.He thought that Zhang Yinglei could not take advantage of it, so he withdrew. He didn't think there were other reasons for it.

Seeing that Qin Ming was also looking at him with great interest, Xu Ning explained with a smile: "Isn't this all due to Brother Zhu Gui? After receiving the general order from Brother Wang Lun, Brother Zhu Gui mobilized all his forces and sent our notice to Liangshan In the mansion of the seven magistrates of Yunzhou and one magistrate, there is only one line on the letter, which reads, "Whoever dares to give a grain of rice to Zhang Yinglei, Liangshan will surely raise soldiers from the whole village, and they will all compete to see the dignified officials!"

"Why do you want to send him to his mansion? Wouldn't it be better if it was pasted on the gate of the city and the common people would vie for it?" Deng Fei asked puzzled.

"If it is made public, these fellows are afraid that they will be accused of being coerced by Liang Shan. If they do things half-heartedly and don't say anything, they may break the pot. Let's not expose the matter, just let them know what they know, and they will definitely do everything they can to deal with Zhang Yinglei , Zhang Yinglei's five thousand horse army, people eat horse chews, how much food and grass does it cost a day? After spending so long with us, the food and grass that they brought with them may have been exhausted. If the army can't get supplies in Yunzhou, how much energy will he consume? ?” Hao Siwen laughed.

"Wonderful! Secretly driving these court officials to perfunctory Zhang Yinglei is much more effective than threatening them openly!" Qin Ming was also a person from the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and Hao Siwen was immediately able to understand it.I saw him thinking for a while, then suddenly said: "No, no, if there is no supplement of food and grass in the prefectures and counties, Zhang Yinglei will send troops to collect food from the people, but won't it harm the people?"

"Brother said, tell them to just levy, how much food is levied, we Liangshan will compensate the people! Look at these people in official clothes, they don't know how to be ashamed, how much they want to destroy the old Zhao's country!" Hao Hao Siwen sneered.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his thumb and said, "I'm convinced!"

"Is there anyone in the government to fund the food for the officers and soldiers? Then did Zhang Yinglei collect food privately in the end?" Deng Fei asked a little fascinated.

"I don't know this yet, and it will take time to prove it, so we can't judge whether Zhang Yinglei is really retreating or fake retreating at the beginning. If this guy is going to play tricks, he will pretend to be short of food and grass to lure our army to pursue him. I'm afraid we won't fall into the trap? Anyway, this time we didn't intend to eat this fellow!" Xu Ning replied.

"It seems that my brother has thought of every step, and he has a good plan! Zhang Yinglei is forced to act according to our ideas. No matter which step he takes, it is a mistake!" Hao Siwen sighed.

"That's right, when all the birds come here, they don't ask. See who is the host and who is the guest in the territory of Yunzhou!" Qin Ming laughed loudly and shouted.

After Hao Siwen finished speaking, a burst of laughter rang out among the four of them. Seeing that the team had also rushed to the front, the four of them mobilized their horses and went forward side by side. After walking for more than an hour, they finally came to the north bank Assembly point.

The Shanzhai sailors transported all the people up the mountain during the day yesterday, and the sailors did not stop at night, and transported most of the luggage up the mountain.After most of the day's transportation today, the shore was empty at this time.It is much more comfortable to watch the crowd of people and the car-to-car situation than before.

At this time, the large ship carrying the soldiers of the Thunderbolt Camp and the reserve force of the two thousand horse army had already sailed towards Liangshanbo, and there were no one to be seen on the shore, but there were many empty ships of the navy moored by the lake. Xu Ning and Hao Siwen both Ordered his subordinates to board the ship quickly, Qin Ming and Deng Fei had nothing to do, and stood aside, at this time Deng Fei couldn't see Huang Xin anywhere, so he joked to Qin Ming: "I'm afraid I can't wait, so go up the mountain to drink first." Already!"

Before Qin Ming could speak, he saw a group of people coming out of the shore hotel, Huang Xin was in the middle, and shouted loudly: "Master, brother has been waiting here for a long time, why did the army come so slowly?"

Qin Ming and Deng Fei glanced at each other, and they all flew forward, even Xu Ning and Hao Siwen came to see them, and the four of them said: "Brother, go up the mountain first, why wait for the younger brothers!"

"I want to see the last of you board the ship, and I want to see with my own eyes the successful conclusion of our battle of Daming Mansion...". )
