Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

After seeing off the three of them, Zhao Zhen also went to pack up his weapons and armor. In today's weather, A naturally chose the willow-leaf bamboo armor, the phoenix-winged dagger, the third-order reed-leaf gun, the iron sea-patterned silver double sword, and five willow-leaf flying knives. The unicorn pouch contains a first-order green birch bark carved bow captured from Zhu Yongqing and Zhu Wannian, and comes with a pot of white feather chisel arrows.

The two horses Zhao Zhenguan rode, Zhaoye Jade Lion and Kiixue Wuzui, were sent to the racecourse these days, and they lived a hard life with new horses every day.

As soon as things were packed here, Hu Sanniang led Hua Baoyan to come over. When they met, she said, "Official, why did you go on an expedition without any guards? I asked Bao Xu and Yan Shude, [Chongfengdu] this Hui is not on the expedition, and the officer only takes Lu Zhishen and Guang Hui. This is not good. They are all infantry. How can I escort the officer into the battle? My sister Baoyan and I will lead the female cavalry to protect the officer."

Zhao Zhen said: "Sanniang, there are only more than 300 rural warriors in Jingmen Town, scattered in three or four places. Excluding the navy and horse infantry here, there are 800 people. The armor is strong and the troops are strong. In this weather, there is no need for [Chongfengdu]. Villages and squares They are all earthen walls that are as high as one person, and a few ladders can be used to attack them. Coach Lin, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng's cavalry troops are only used to patrol the place and isolate various rescues. "

Hu Sanniang said: "In addition to fighting on horseback, the female cavalry is also good at archery. When the officials attack the city, it is time to see the female cavalry's archery skills."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "If you want to go, just go. The battlefield is not a child's play. You cannot act without authorization. Just stay by my side."

Hu Sanniang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

With a look of joy on his face, he took Hua Baoyan down to get ready.

Not to mention that Wu Yong was preparing to receive a group of people from Qingzhou in Liangshan County, but that on the next day, Zhao Zhen and others had dinner at five o'clock and boarded the ship to set off. Due to the addition of Hu Sanniang's team of female cavalry, eight newly built warships were added to Ruan Xiaoer's navy fleet, which was enough.

Ships of all sizes set off together, and at the end of the day, Zhao Zhen worshiped heaven and earth on the ship and spent 25 points of luck to dispel the fog between Shuibobian and Jingmen Town.

Ruan Xiaoer sent out a fast boat to explore along the waterfront, and chose the direction of Wulibao to land. Like Shilipu and Eliu, these were the only three villages in Jingmen Town close to the waterfront. Zhang Gai , Qi Gai's township is farthest from Shuibo.

Lu Zhishen and Guang Hui led the team to disembark first, and then the artillery brought by Ling Zhen of [Hang Tian Lei] also disembarked one by one. Zhao Zhen led the female cavalry team to disembark last. After arranging the team, Zhao Zhen signaled the drummers in the team to beat the [Dragon War Drum].

The war drums of "Dong...dong...dong..." sounded. Shi Kuo from Wulibao opposite had already noticed the abnormality. Hearing the sound of the war drums, he did not dare to neglect. There was a bang in the village, and every family ran back to the village, closed the door tightly, and the young men gathered together with swords and guns.

The two quick-footed men went to the Ten Mile Fort five miles away to ask for reinforcements.

Zhao Zhen was not in a hurry here. After lining up, he walked slowly towards Wulibao Village. A stone's throw away from the main entrance of Wuli Fort, Lu Zhishen shouted and told the army to stop.

Shi Kuo, who was leading a hundred or so soldiers, was looking out from the village wall. He saw two great monks leading a black mass of well-equipped sergeants standing outside the village. He realized that something was wrong, so he picked up his burden and shouted: " I don’t know which hero is passing by, but I am here in Jingmen Town under the rule of Dongping Prefecture.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen motioned to Guang Hui to talk, but Guang Hui shouted: "This is the official army of Liangshan County. From now on, this place will be under the jurisdiction of Liangshan County. Open the gate of the village, put down your weapons, and come out to surrender. If you are slow, don't blame the intruders here." Zhuangzi, the chickens and dogs are not left alone.”

After hearing this, Shi Kuo complained secretly and said: "General, it's not that I won't surrender. I really don't know the general's identity and dare not come out."

Guang Hui was anxious and shouted: "If you don't come out, the Sa family will attack the village."

Just as he was about to order an attack on the village, he saw smoke and dust rising from two routes to the east. Zhao Zhen thought it was Lin Chong's cavalry, and Shi Kuo thought it was his brother Shi Yue from Shilibao. The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Lu Zhishen ordered to be on guard. After a while, the two roads of smoke came together. After stopping for a moment, they saw a group of horse soldiers escorting thirty or fifty Xiangyong. Shi Kuo, who was looking out, saw him, and his expression changed drastically. But it turned out that it was brother Shi Yue and his group who were captured.

When Zhao Zhen and others looked, it was Lu Fang and Guo Sheng who came to help. Guang Hui laughed and said: "Shang, how long will it take before you surrender? Don't make the Sa family angry and kill all the people of your village."

At that moment, Shi Kuo did not dare to hesitate and ordered the villagers to open the door of the village. They all put down their knives and forks, walked to the village and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Zhen summoned two brothers, Shi Kuo and Shi Yue, and asked, "Are you two willing to lead the way?"

Shi Yue curled his lips and said: "General, if we hadn't been surrounded by this team of horsemen, the men of Shili Fort would not have surrendered easily."

After hearing this, Shi Kuo quickly drank Shi Yue's drink and said carefully: "General, my brother is rude and doesn't know the power of God. How can I stop the general with the earthen wall here?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I heard that your two brothers have some martial arts skills. You choose one of the people here. As long as he can win, how about I let you two go back?"

Shi Yue glared at Lu Fang and said, "If we fight on foot, the villain may not necessarily lose."

Zhao Zhen said: "What, you want to compete with Lu Fang on your head?"

Shi Yue nodded fiercely: "If we lose the infantry battle, from now on, the general will only follow the lead of the ten-mile fort."

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Fang. Lu Fang didn't waste any time and said, "Official, give him a simple knife."

Shi Yue looked fierce, picked up the simple knife handed over by the soldier, and slashed at Lu Fang. Lu Fang didn't shy away. He raised a halberd in his hand, and with just one move, he knocked the simple sword out of Shi Yue's hand.

Shi Yue looked at his hands blankly, and was defeated in the foot battle. Only then did he realize that Lu Fang's horse riding and knocking the sword from his hand just now was not due to horse power.

Immediately he knelt down and said to Lu Fang: "The general is brave, the villain is no match."

He took two steps on his knees and said to Zhao Zhen: "General, I am willing to surrender. From now on, the Ten Mile Fort will be under the control of Liangshan County."

Shi Kuo also said: "Wulibao is also willing to surrender. I just ask the general not to plunder and plunder. We are willing to donate food, grass and labor for the army."

Zhao Zhen said: "Since you are willing to surrender and Laojun is not in a hurry, you two will lead the way for the army first, and visit the five villages of Sunzhuang, Weizhuang, Xiaoxu, Eliu and Jingmen Town."

After hearing this, the two of them quickly agreed.

Zhao Zhen then asked Lu Fang and Guo Sheng: "Brother, why are you two here?"

Guo Shengdao: "Brother Zhu Wu, the military advisor, asked us to divide into three groups. The two of us went straight to the official's place. Coach Lin and brother Zhu Wu went straight to Jingmen Town. Brother Luan Tingfang led half of the troops to patrol everywhere to prevent the villages from interacting with each other. Rescue.”

Shi Kuo and Shi Yue on the side heard this, and each of them was glad that they had not been adamant, otherwise they would have lost their heads and bodies by now.

Shi Kuo and Shi Yue each led the villagers to lead the way. Zhao Zhen and others then went straight east to the nearest Eliu. Elliuzhuang also closed its door tightly and was on guard.

Shi Kuo said to Zhao Zhen: "General, Liu Mu and the villain are the best in Elliu Village. The villain is willing to recruit him to surrender."

Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, Shi Kuo quickly thanked him.

Then he turned around and walked outside the village gate and shouted: "Liu Mu, surrender quickly. My two brothers are not opponents yet, so why bother to resist. If we delay, there will inevitably be casualties once we fight, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

After hearing this, Liu Mu, the master of the village, looked at the people outside the village, sighed, and ordered the door of the village to be opened. A man came out, followed Shi Kuo to meet Zhao Zhen, and expressed his intention to surrender.

Zhao Zhen was also very happy to be able to capture these three villages without any bloodshed. After all, once human life is taken, if it is not handled well, there will be consequences.

Zhao Zhen praised: "Shi Kuo, I will take credit for your success in taking down the owl. Below are Sunzhuang, Weizhuang, and Xiaoxu. If you can still come and surrender, I will reward you greatly."

After hearing this, Shi Kuo said with a bitter face: "General, it's not a villain's shirk. It's actually Sunzhuang, Weizhuang and Xiaoxu. Sunzhuang and Zhang Gai are the best, and Weizhuang, Xiaoxu and Qi Gai are in step with each other." , I’m afraid these two places won’t listen to my brothers.”
