Aftermath of Water Margin

Chapter 33 Sadutuo Conquers Ghosts and Burns Sea Ships

But Gongtao asked Sadutuo about his plan to retreat, and Sadutuo said, "Don't worry, my lord. Li Jun and Hua Fengchun must cut the grass and roots, and then they can enjoy the throne. I am going to attack Jin'ao Island. Since he came here, how can he let him go?" He went back? I went to the water village, and I have a clever plan." So he resigned from Gongtao, went to the water village and said to Ge Peng, "It's just like this."

But when Li Jun went to the city of Siam, he saw that Ge Peng's water village was neatly laid out, and there was no shadow of a boat outside the city. There was no movement outside the city, and he was anxious to attack. , will come to challenge, but who knows that he will close the fence, put down the flags and drums, there must be a plan, don't be impatient." Hua Fengchun said: "The lord of the country has been murdered, the city has been lost, and there is something in the palace. If it lasts for a long time, this When will the hatred be avenged? Waiting for my nephew to kill it desperately, if it breaks the water village, it will be a blessing. If it doesn't help, I will do my best to die." If you are determined and then fight, you will be perfect if you know what you know. The courage of a man is beyond regret." Hua Fengchun could only stop.He kept guard for five or six days in a row, but did not fight.Le He thought about it fiercely, and said: "It's not good! I fell into his strategy of turning against the guest." Li Jun said: "What is the main way of turning against the guest?" I will send one branch to destroy Jin'ao Island. Once the nest is lost, there will be chaos without a fight. Hurry up and retreat." Li Jun said: "We must guard against it!" He ordered to set sail.

After a journey of less than a hundred miles, we arrived at the mouth of Mingzhu Gorge.Why is it called Mingzhu Gorge?This is the water mouth of Siam. In the vast ocean, there are two mountains, winding like dragons, connected at both ends, only separated by a mile of water.There is a small mountain in the middle stream, round and clean like a pearl, with no vegetation.The water is fast, and often this place will damage the ship.On the top of the mountain, there is a Dragon King Temple on the left, and a small seven-story stone pagoda on the right, which suppresses water monsters and locks the water gates, so the people of Tuiluo are rich and prosperous.When the boats of Li Jun's third team reached the mouth of the gorge, they saw 20 or 400 warships, and Miao soldiers were holding the gorge.There is a Miao general standing on the bow, but it is leather.He shouted: "You have been tricked by my national teacher. Your Jinao Island has already been broken. Where are you going? Surrender quickly, and spare your death!" Li Jun was furious, stabbed with a gun, and took a big axe Fighting, confronting on the bow.Hua Fengchun was about to raise his halberd to help in the battle, when he saw Sadutuo coming out of the cabin, muttering something during the day.Suddenly the sky was filled with smoke, and I saw thousands of ghost soldiers, some fell from the sky, and some dived from the bottom of the sea, gathering like locusts.Fei Bao, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng each hold their weapons and confront each other.There is also a ghost king, several feet long, with a single horn on his head, naked body, wearing a tiger skin skirt, holding two gourds in both hands, and sparks are flying on the tent mast.In a flash, the boats of the three teams were forced into one piece by the wind and burned away row by row.The black smoke was so thick that it was impossible to open the eyes.Li Jun yelled: "Heaven will kill me!" At the very critical moment, there was a thunderbolt on Xunda's ground, and the heavy rain poured out. The fire was extinguished, and the ghost king and ghost soldiers disappeared.Li Jun, Fei Bao, etc. fought desperately to get out of the gorge, and burned more than [-] ships. The soldiers killed and jumped into the sea, about [-] people were killed. Fortunately, all the generals were not injured.

Arriving at Jin'ao Island overnight, it turned out that there were dense warships at Zhakou, full of Miao soldiers.Ge Peng is fighting with Gao Qing and Ni Yun, and the victory or defeat is undecided.Li Jun and Fei Baofei jumped ashore to help, but Ge Peng couldn't resist.The four brave generals jumped off the boat, Hua Fengchun bent his bow and shot an arrow, which hit Ge Peng's left arm, dropped the knife in his hand and fell.Bu Fang Ge-, Sa Toutuo followed after him.Tong Wei, Tong Meng and Le He lost their boats and led their troops to Aikou Village.Li Jun said to the two generals Gao and Ni: "It is almost impossible to see each other! In Mingzhu Gorge, Sadutuo sent ghost soldiers to burn the ship. Fortunately, a thunderstorm broke out and saved his life. When did his soldiers arrive?" Gao Qing said: " Two days later, I discussed with Brother Ni, fearing that there would be a loss at the pass, so we built a stronghold here. After two days of fighting, we won’t see who wins or loses.” Li Jun said: “Brother Le’s raw materials are based on anti-customer tactics, and it’s not true. What’s better now? Don’t It is said to attack the city of Siam to avenge the revenge, but this Jinao Island may be difficult to save. If the soldiers are against the generals, it is good to support them, but what is the magic of Sa Toutuo? The day before yesterday Song Gongming attacked Gaotangzhou , was defeated by Gao Lian's demon method, lost two battles, and lost to Gongsun Shenglai. Now there is an ocean, where can I get it?" Le He said: "The demon method can only be used for a while. If you use it all It doesn’t work. The situation is more evil than the good. We waited for the revenge of the King of Siam and slaughtered the strong party. Could it be God’s blessing? The fire in Mingzhu Gorge burned to death, and suddenly a thunderstorm came to save it, which shows God’s will. Need Make up your mind, work together to stick to it, and slowly find out what to worry about, and don't be impatient. You must be prepared to smell the filthy dog ​​blood that is afraid of sorcery. When he comes again, he will be destroyed." Li Jun then called the sergeant to take dog blood, Human feces and garlic juice are used as spray tubes, which can be broken if they are splashed randomly during the battle.The calculation is settled, stick to the Zhaizhai gate.

But he said that Sadutuo was really cunning. He made a clever plan to make Ge Diao guard the Siam water village, and Ge Yi guard the mouth of Mingzhu Gorge, and make Duhuo Ghost King burn him to death by performing demon magic; It's really a no-brainer.Unexpectedly, Lei Yu could not succeed in saving them, so he came after him and surrounded them with Cao Peng and Ge Yin.Said: "Jin'ao Island entered the pass, and there were three more bays before it reached the edge of the city. Li Jun was afraid and did not dare to fight. He had to be lured out so that he could seize the pass." Drinking, disorganized ranks, and undisciplined soldiers.He also went to Australia to rob women from good families. Regardless of their beauty, those who were only satisfied with the youth's vitality would fight on the boat in broad daylight, and they were not afraid of people's eyes.I'm tired of it, and reward Miao Bing.Out of helplessness, those women could not stand the ravages, and many of them died, so they were thrown into the sea.When Li Jun saw it, he filled his chest with anger, and shouted: "The bald thief is so rude! It's extremely vicious! How can it harm the civilians, go and cut it off!" Lehe said: "This is a trick to lure the enemy, and you should not act rashly." Li Jundao: "A man is born between heaven and earth, his ups and downs are determined by himself, how can he bear it face to face!" He wanted to lead the army to fight.Le He said: "Since he can't bear it, he will stay at night. He is fascinated by wine and sex, so he must sleep soundly. You can send four generals, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Gao Qing, and Ni Yun, to lead ten boats and five hundred soldiers to lie in ambush Among the reeds, the great general and young master Hua went to rob the stronghold. If you use the demon method, you can sprinkle the spray canister. Fei and I guard the stronghold, and the common people can almost succeed."

The deployment has been made, and at three o'clock, Tong Wei and others went to ambush first.Li Jun and Hua Fengchun stopped and led a thousand soldiers and ten big ships to fight bravely.Although Sa Toutuo was greedy for wine and sex, he never slept at night.Hearing the sound, he calmly asked Li Jun to kill people and practice demon magic.The sky was full of stars and moon, and suddenly it was as dark as ink. Li Jun and Hua Fengchun didn't see a boat, a Miao soldier, and there was no place to put the spray can.When Tong Wei and others heard the cry of killing, they only wanted to fight with Miao soldiers and surrounded them; Li Jun recognized them as Miao soldiers and attacked each other.There was a hurricane on the sea, and Li Jun hurriedly called the rudder to the shore.Nagepeng and Geyi had arrived at the pass first and set fire to the gate.Fei Bao and Le He couldn't resist the enemy and retreated to the edge of the city.When Li Jun and Hua Fengchun got to the shore, Ge Peng and Ge - blocked the fight and fought till dawn.Sadutuo sent a team of beast soldiers, but tigers, leopards, and jackals came here with their teeth and claws, jumping and hurting people.Li Jun panicked and called to release the spray guns. Most of the soldiers had already landed, and the spray guns were all in the boat.Li Jun and Hua Fengchun had no choice but to retreat to the edge of the city. Most of the soldiers were lost, and the pass was taken away by him. The whereabouts of Tong Wei and other four generals were unknown.Li Jun cried and said: "If you don't listen to your good brother, you will be defeated! Now that you have few soldiers and few generals, how can you survive?" Le He said: "It's normal for a military strategist to win or lose. Don't be discouraged. Fortunately, this stone city is strong. I will definitely not attack. And I will stick to it to the death, and then I will be a district office." Li Jun followed his words, and Hua Fengchun, Fei Bao, Lehe were in the tower day and night, carrying Leimu, stones, gray bottles, iron juice and other things, and worked together. Obedience.

Sadutuo, Ge Peng, and Ge - are showing off their power under the city.Fortunately, the bare stone city cannot be climbed up, and solid blocks cannot be dug in.It's just that I can't be a demon, or a burst of fire, burning the sky and scattering the earth; or a thunderbolt, pounding the mountains and shaking the mountains;Le He said: "These monsters are nothing more than that. Don't be afraid of him. You can't attack here. It's just that there is a place behind the mountain. It feels a little flat. I'm afraid you can climb in. You need to guard it. I'll lead a team of soldiers to see it. You can come there Looking up from Baiyun Peak, there are traces of four generals on the sea." It turns out that Jin'ao Island only has the gate in front, surrounded by high mountains, ancient trees and bamboos, and there is no way to go up.The residents are all farming in it, and there are oceans in the east, west, north, south, and there is a Baiyun Peak in it, which is high in Yunhan, and it can be seen three hundred miles away.When the weather is clear, Siam City is in front of you.Because there was a flood in the back of the mountain, it was destroyed by the flood, and there are two or three feet of defects, so you can climb it.

Soldiers are being called to carry stones to fill in, only to hear the faint voices of people under the mountain.Lehe and the soldiers lay down in the bushes, took a cannon, set it up, and served with a match.As expected, there were two or three hundred Miao soldiers, with long knives straddling their waists, and they climbed up with vines and vines, and they were about to reach Banling.Lehe saw it clearly, and put the medicine line on the cannon door, and there was a loud bang, and the Miao soldiers were beaten up, and those who couldn't hit them all fell to the bottom of the mountain.He also called the soldiers to rain down the stones, leaving only a few Miao soldiers to go back.Lehe called this team of soldiers, equipped with big artillery to guard.Come back and say: "I'm ashamed, if I'm late, I'll be climbed up by him! Three hundred Miao soldiers were killed by the cannon, and the soldiers were ordered to guard. There is no need to worry about it." Li Jun said: "Your brother really has the foresight to predict things. Duozhong. Otherwise, there will be an accident." Young Master Hua also came back and said: "Look around Baiyun Peak, and there is no sign on the sea." Li Jun said: "These four brothers are too different." Le He said : "How can there be a reason why all four are bad? The army was defeated that night, so I thought of going to Qingshuiao." Li Jun and the other four still insisted on not asking.

But it is said that Tong Wei and other four generals were dispersed by Sadutuo and other demons, and they could not enter the pass for a while. When they met at dawn, a hundred soldiers and two warships had been broken.Ni Yundao: "The port is full of Miao soldiers. I can't go back. I don't know what they are like?" Tong Meng said: "The pass was captured by Miao soldiers. Brother Li and others must stick to the stone city." O. There are three hundred soldiers from Di Cheng's side, and they brought them here to fight him." Tong Wei said, "I'm not afraid of being strong, but this Sha Toutuo demon method, even though there are thousands of soldiers, can't stand it. I think Get up, Ge Peng, Ge Ting and Sa Toutuo are all here, and there is only Ge Diao in Siam, so it must be empty, we go to attack and break it, and he will surely clear the siege here." Everyone said in unison: "This plan is very good!" sail away.

In less than a day, when we arrived at the city of Siam, there were only a dozen warships, guarded by one or two hundred Miao soldiers, and the leather carvings were not on board.Tong Wei and others got close to the boat, jumped over together, hacked and killed bravely, and there were less than thirty or fifty people who went ashore to flee for their lives. Tong Wei and others shouted and chased after them.Going to the gate of the city, Ge Diao led a group of Miao soldiers to rush out, four generals resisted, and the battle could not last more than ten rounds, Ge Diao was timid, turned his horse's head and left.Gao Qing catches up, stabs his left arm with a gun, and almost falls. Miao soldiers rescue him and go into the city, and Tong Wei leads his troops to attack.When Gongtao saw soldiers coming, leather carvings were defeated and entered the city. He panicked and said, "the national teacher went to attack Jin'ao Island, but there was no response. Instead, soldiers attacked the city. Why?" Ge Diao said, "the soldiers who came Not Li Jun and Hua Fengchun, but four other generals. There are not many soldiers left here, and more than 200 people were injured just now. They can send orders to send the civilians to the city. I will send people to Jinao Island to inquire and send troops to protect the city. According to Gong Tao's words, he ordered the soldiers and horses to send the people to the city to guard the battlements, and the leather carvings led the Miao soldiers to inspect.Those common people hated it to the bone, eager to break it immediately, but they reluctantly went to the city in fear of the leather carving's order.

Tong Wei and others couldn't bring three or four hundred soldiers, and there were few soldiers in the city, so they couldn't besieged, so they had to guard the four gates, which were urgent and difficult to break.Gao Qing said: "When the people go to the city, you can see that there are no soldiers in the city. If you have to cooperate with the inside and the outside, you can break through. Wait for me to climb in in the middle of the night." Looking around during the day, I saw that the people guarding the city in the northwest corner lived in front of the son-in-law's mansion. It's called He He'er, he's an idle guy, he gets acquainted with each other on weekdays, looks at each other, and makes a secret sign.At night, I discussed with Tong Wei and said: "The people guarding the city on the northwest corner are Heheer in front of the son-in-law's mansion. I just gave a secret sign, and I will climb up. If you can do it, set a fire again, and you will fight hard, and the success or failure will be blunt." Here it is!" The three said: "If it is like this, it is extremely beautiful! Just be careful."

Gao Qing took off his armor, changed into tight clothes, concealed a hidden weapon by his side, and went to the northwest corner of the city together.The lights were bright, and He He'er first quietly said to the people guarding the pile: "Gongtao murdered rebels and had no way, Sadutuo Miao soldiers insisted on plundering, and the people were tortured by him. Now General Gao is coming to attack the city. I have made an agreement. Go up, kill the strong ministers and evil baldness, and avenge the vengeance of the people. Don't leak it, only the anti-leather eagles will come to inspect it." The people in Tongjia were full of hatred, and everyone nodded in understanding.Gao Qing coughed from below, and He He'er dropped the rope.Gao Qing is tied to the body, holding the rope with both hands, and he and He'er and the people hang up with force.As soon as he stepped on the crenel and untied the rope, the Qiaoqiao Leather Carving and Gongtao inspectors arrived. Gao Qing pretended to be a commoner and stood facing outside.Seeing the different expression in Jiali, the leather carving saw a group of people and horses below, and said, "There must be a strong man! The lord of the country can go to inspect the gates and wait for me to stick here." Gao Qing didn't dare to move until dawn. After changing shifts, Tong Heheer went down to the city, and said, "You have this loyalty, and when things are done, you will be rewarded a lot. When Ke Ke Na leather carving comes, I can't do it for a while. I have changed clothes, and no one recognizes me in the dark. You go to the palace to meet the mother of the country and discuss it." Then they went to the gate of the palace together.

There were two eunuchs at the gate of the palace, who recognized Gao Qing, and asked in surprise, "How did General Gao come into the city?" Gao Qing said, "Please lead me to the mother of the country." The son went to the palace to meet him.The mother of the country said: "Together, the Tao kills the rebellion, and the gods and men are angry. I look forward to revenge day and night, General Li and the son-in-law. I heard that the army was defeated, and I want to commit suicide. The princess persuaded me, and then read the news. General Gao, when will you enter the city?" How about the outcome of Jin'ao Island?" Gao Qing said: "I came back with my son-in-law to celebrate the birthday. I heard that the lord was murdered, so I didn't bring soldiers. When I returned to Jin'ao Island, I led the army with General Li and was hit. He turned against the guests. Mingzhu Gorge was set on fire by ghosts sent by Sadutuo, and the tents were all burned. Fortunately, heavy rains from the sky saved his life. He was defeated by demons on Jinao Island, and now he is surrounded. I don’t know what happened. Chen and Ni Yun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng dispersed at night. They thought that Siam must be empty, so they brought troops in. Nai could not break through the city because of the small number of soldiers. This Heheer is a commoner in front of the son-in-law's mansion. He is loyal and hangs the rope to the officials. The city. Just about to file up, whoever wants to go to Gongtao and Gediao to inspect it in person, and feels that there is a difference, they will live there until dawn, unable to move, so they come to see the mother of the country, to comfort the hope." The mother of the country cried: "Sa Toutuo Now that he is tyrannical, General Li has been defeated repeatedly, and there is no day for revenge!" Gao Qing said: "The minister has entered the city, and the inner supervisor has ordered the old minister to entangle the righteous people with He'er. This city will not be destroyed in a day. If the city is destroyed, When Sadutuo came back to save him, General Li and his son-in-law came chasing after him. They were attacking from inside and outside, and the country's enmity was set against the sun. The minister is afraid of revealing his horns outside, so he would like to stay in the palace." The mother of the country obeyed her words and sent the inner eunuch to tell the old ministers, It's no problem to be entangled with He'er on the volunteer trip.

Besides, when Li Ying, Luan Tingyu and other loach boats arrived at Qingshuiao, Ruan Xiaoqi wanted to go ashore to buy fresh fish to make hangover soup, but Li Ying stopped him.The thin-faced Xiong Dicheng guarded Qingshuiao, and heard that Ma Saizhen, the lord of Siam, was murdered by his loyal minister Gongtao, and that Jin'ao Island was defeated by Sadutuo's demons, and the siege was tight.To lead the soldiers to rescue and suppress them, it is only because there are three hundred soldiers that they are afraid that they will be outnumbered and feel hesitant.At that moment, I saw more than a hundred large loach boats moored by the beach, densely covered with knives and guns, and flashing flags. I was in doubt: "Dare Sa Toutuo broke Jin'ao Island and led the troops to fetch Qingshui'ao?" , not the appearance of Miao Bing.I had to get out of a small boat and take four soldiers to the sea loach boat, and asked where he came from, but it happened to be beside Li Ying's boat. Yanqing saw that Di Cheng was dressed as a general of the Song Dynasty, and replied: "We are from the Song Dynasty. Officers and soldiers, I want to go to Jinao Island to look for General Li." Di Chengdao: "What do you know about him, General? Why are you looking for him?" Yan Qing said: "We are all brothers in the past. We heard that we are overseas, so we are here to help you. " Di Cheng said: "Then General Li is Li Jun, the dragon of the river? Are you a good man in Liangshanbo?" Yan Qing said: "Exactly. Your honor can be known by name." Di Cheng climbed on the big boat and accepted his head. He said: "The world is saved!" Li Ying and Yan Qing quickly helped him up, and Di Cheng said: "Xiao Ke is a thin-faced Xiong Dicheng who has made a brotherhood with Brother Li in Taihu Lake. Brother Li came out of the ocean and stationed here in Qingshuiao, killing Shalong. Occupied Jin'ao Island. Hua Fengchun, the son of Huazhizhai, was recruited by Siam King Ma Sai to be his son-in-law. Jin Ao Island is very prosperous due to the exchange of relatives and relatives. Unexpectedly, Ma Sai was killed by the strong and powerful and usurped the throne. A monk, named Sa Toutuo, is good at practicing demons. There are also three brothers, Ge Peng, who lead five thousand Miao soldiers to help Gongtao. Brother Li broke three battles in a row. Now the siege of Jin'ao Island is very urgent, and I hope everyone reads The friendship of the past, went to Jinao Island to rescue." Li Yingdao: "Since Brother Li is in trouble, he should rescue him quickly. First send ten generals to advance, and the rest of the brothers are here to protect their families. After victory, they will come to meet them." Di Di Cheng Daxi, as the guide, set sail overnight.The ten generals were Li Ying, Luan Tingyu, Wang Jin, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Gongsun Sheng, Yan Qing, Hu Yanyu, Xu Sheng, Ling Zhen, and they set off to march southwest.

But it is said that Sa Toutuo surrounded Jin'ao Island and could not attack it.I saw the leather carving sent someone to say: "Gao Qing and others surrounded the city of Siam and wanted to return to the rescue." The leather carving said: "The fundamental land of Siam must be saved, and the troops should be withdrawn for a while before attacking again." Tuotou said: "Jin'ao Island is at stake. If it is released, it will take a lot of effort in the future. The attack on Siam is only a few groups of guerrillas. The capital is strong and everything is safe. If Jin'ao Island is broken, the natural extermination over there will be wiped out." It's gone." So Miao soldiers were called to build ladders and flying towers, and pushed them to the edge of the city, like apes attached to them.Li Jun, Fei Bao and Hua Fengchun fixed their short knives, and when they saw someone climbing to the edge of the battlements, they all chopped down with their knives.Miao Bing was not afraid, and filed forward, killing more and more, Li Jun said: "Now I can't support it, wait for me to slay myself, so as not to be humiliated!" Seeing that Ge Peng and Sadutuo were commanding the Miao soldiers and ants to attach to them, Hua Fengchun bent his bow and shot an arrow at Sadutuo.Miao Bing looked back on the ladder, Fei Bao used an iron hook, exhausted all his strength, and hooked the ladder away, there was a loud sound, the ladder broke, and Miao Bing fell down.Stone cannons and ash bottles were rained down on the city, so they dared not climb the city.Although Sadutuo was hit by an arrow, he was not injured. He went to the boat and used elixir to treat him.

I only heard a cannon overseas, which rang for more than a hundred times, and Miao Bing reported: "It's not good! There are four No. 50 large ships on the sea, full of weapons and guns, and they are coming to the shore." Sadutuo Regardless of the pain, he got up and asked Ge Peng to lead the Miao soldiers to withdraw.Li Jun was puzzled when he saw the Miao soldiers leaving on the city tower and heard the gunfire from overseas.Le He said, "Let's open the door and go out to see why?" Then they went down to the city together.Open the door, each holding a weapon, only one boat to the pass.The ships of Sadutuo Miao soldiers are all placed on the east side of the ocean. There are four No. 50 large ships on the sea, all of which are Chinese soldiers.The armor is bright, the swords and guns are like snow, and they come in a smooth sail.Li Jun and others also went out of the pass and saw a gentleman on the big boat standing on the bow with a sword. Looking from a distance, he looked like Gongsun Sheng.Looking at the recent situation, seeing Hu Yanzhuo holding a double whip, Li Jun thought, "How did you get this?" Li Ying saw Li Jun and Lehe on the big boat, and shouted, "Brother Li, I'll come to rescue you later." ?” Exactly: Chinese soldiers descended from the sky, and the island’s monsters were swept away by waves.After all, what will happen next?Let's listen to the next chapter.

Li Jun vowed to die in the lonely city, and he was generous in the battle; Le He was adaptable and cautious.After reaching the extreme jeopardy, Fang Tou had a glimmer of life.It can be seen that the ten generals rescued the siege, and they were lucky.Gong Tao fancied that a pill of poison would usurp it, and it would be better if it would not disappear immediately.
