"If my brothers hadn't come to my rescue, I, Deng Fei, would have been killed by Wang Bolong, Kong Yanzhou and that gang of thieves and beasts! Such a great kindness is unforgettable! You are all brave men, and it is Deng's blessing.
I can unite with you brothers to achieve great justice!"
In the Yinmachuan Assembly Hall, Deng Fei, who had fainted due to serious injuries, slowly woke up. Although his broken leg still needed a lot of time to nurse, fortunately, his life was no longer serious. When Deng Fei regained consciousness,
When he recovered, he found that he had been rescued by Xiao Tang's brothers. This not only made Deng Fei feel like he was in another world, but also made him, a man who valued love and righteousness, feel grateful and have tears in his eyes.
Xiao Tang stretched out his hands, held down Deng Fei who was about to get up from the stretcher to thank all the brothers, and said with gratitude: "When I first met Brother Deng, didn't you also help me with your sword?
We are all brothers who live and die together. Brother Deng is in the hands of the gangsters, how can we not come?"
Lu Zhishen on the side also laughed loudly and said: "I have heard for a long time that the fire-eyed Suan Ni is eager to do justice and is a good man who rescues people everywhere! Don't tell me that you are also a close friend of my brother Xiaotang, a brother who works together for righteousness, and the Sa family is
Even though I don’t have much friendship with you, I still want to be a brother to you!”
After Xiao Tang expressed some warm words of comfort to Deng Fei, Yang Zhi took two steps forward, raised his hands to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother, in the battle at Erxian Mountain, our army killed 457 brothers and killed Wang Bolong's group of men.
There were more than 2,800 bandits, and more than 900 people were captured. Now I have ordered my subordinates to escort those captives outside Yinmachuan Village to wait for my brother's fate!"
Xiao Tang nodded, thinking in his heart: Fortunately, our side fought three battles with generals in front of the formation, which severely damaged the morale of the Nanjing Dao bandits, and also gathered Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Tang Bin, and Xu
Ning waited for many brave and unstoppable horse infantry leaders to work together to achieve this great victory.
Moreover, now that Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain are trained by military commanders with former coaches such as Lin Chong and Xu Ning, they not only have a significant effect on improving their combat power, but their mental outlook is also very different from ordinary green forest grass bandits. But after all, the other party is also the same.
It was indeed unavoidable for the crazy bandits, who were accustomed to murder and arson, to lose nearly 500 troops.
Xiao Tang sighed again and ordered Yang Zhi: "Don't be busy with the prisoners for now. Let the brothers take good care of them... Pass the order and bury all the brothers who died in the battle. Take your family and throw yourself into the mountain together."
If he is the only son in the family and has a wife, children, and parents to support, he will be given a sum of 300 guan as a pension, and he will also instruct the neighbors in the village to take more care of him."
Yang Zhi, who looked solemn, received Xiao Tang's instructions and immediately went to command his subordinates outside the stronghold. Then Xiao Tang asked people to carry Deng Fei back to his room to adjust his breathing and recuperate. After an hour or two, he waited for Shao Qing to ride out on the sentinel's horse.
After all the military leaders returned to Yinmachuan, they gathered everyone together to discuss the next step in wiping out the Nanjing Dao bandits led by Wang Bolong.
During the military meeting, Xu Guanzhong took the lead in saying: "My brother has now defeated Wang Bolong's men with thunderous means. Now his prestige in the green forests of Ping, Ji and other places has plummeted. Although the enemy army still has about five thousand men, many of them
The leader of the strongmen was forced by the situation to surrender to Wang Bolong. It seems to me that many of the strongmen have already had other ideas...
It's too fast and not too late. My brother wants to completely eradicate Wang Bolong's scourge. Now he can't be given a chance to breathe. As for the thieves in Luannan, Lulong, and Anping, we might as well open up a little, don't force them to jump over the wall to follow. Wang Bolong will fight our army to the end."
Xiao Tang nodded in approval: "What Guan Zhong said is true! Those leaders among them who are used to being wallflowers were allowed to wait for a while, but Wang Bolong...and Kong Yanzhou, only these two must hurry up." Get rid of them as soon as possible to avoid disasters in the future. As for Ping, the other bandits in Ji Di Realm, whether they are horizontal or vertical, or defeated one by one, as long as the two culprits Wang Bolong and Kong Yanzhou are dead, they can't do anything. The storm is coming."
Zhu Jing, who was present, once occupied the fourth position in Moushan, Xiangzhou. After hearing what Xiao Tang said, he couldn't help frowning and said: "I heard that Kong Yanzhou was a green forest bandit in Linli, Xiangzhou? I was still on the West Road in Hebei Province back then. When I traveled around the world, I never heard of this guy’s name.”
After hearing this, Xiao Tang replied: "Kong Yanzhou was just a scoundrel back then, and he was not a luxurious figure in the green forest. However, this man was vicious and scheming. Now that he has formed a deadly feud with him, it is even more unacceptable. Let him linger! Taking advantage of the new defeat of those guys, when morale is low and the morale of the army is weakened, we can strike while the iron is hot and send troops to Pingzhou to teach Wang Bolong and Kong Yanzhou that the two birds have no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. !”
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaoer, the three brothers of the Ruan family, stood up and asked Xiao Tang for orders: "Brother, we three brothers used to only get some naval troops, but we didn't make any achievements. There was a fight in Erxian Mountain, and we were just guarding it under my brother's order. Yinmachuan Dazhai. Although our brothers are just fishermen from Shijie Village, we are not afraid of death when fighting. Since my brother wants to send troops to defeat Wang Bolong, we brothers are also willing to do so. Lead your troops and horses to go with you."
Although the three heroes of the Ruan family were not people who hung out in the green forest at that time, the three of them were all capable, and they fought and killed, and did not want to fall behind others. In the book, before and after they defected to Liangshan, these three water-minded people The skilled men twice defeated the officers and soldiers who came to capture them in water battles. In the first battle, Xiao Tang told them to stay at the stronghold. This made the three Ruan brothers feel that they were outcompeted by the other brothers. Now again I heard that Xiao Tang was going to lead his army to Pingzhou immediately. How could the three of them sit peacefully?
But before Xiao Tang could speak, Lu Zhishen waved his hand and said loudly: "Three brothers of the Ruan family, you are all leaders of the navy. The fight with the birds on the dry road should also be handled by us, the leaders of the horse infantry." Dry!"
When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he refused. He slapped his neck and said to Lu Zhishen: "Brother Zhishen, this is your fault. You look down on others so much! How can you, the cavalry and infantry soldiers, boast about your ability to talk, but you can't? Are you treating us three brothers as sailors?"
Lu Zhishen was startled for a moment, then he laughed and scolded: "How can the Sa family look down on you three brothers? This Jizhou is not a place where we can stay for a long time, and our naval force is also very weak now. If your soldiers and horses suffer a lot, why don't you still have to do it?" You three take a boat and paddle back to Jingdong by sea?"
When Ruan Xiaoqi was about to say more, Xu Guanzhong waved his hand with a smile and said: "Pingzhou is close to the sea, and the Luanshui River runs through the state capital. There are many rivers and branches in Hong Kong during this period. With the three brothers of the Ruan family and the help of brother Zhang Shun, we must also It can be put to great use.”
After hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi raised his head and laughed and said: "Brother Guanzhong is more concerned about Wang Bolong and Kong Yanzhou. I, Ruan Xiaoqi, only think of those guys as birds. If we meet, I will let them go down." Even if you die in the water, we brothers will make a profit!"
