The shadows of trees swayed in the quiet woods, and rustling sounds could be heard from time to time. There were five hundred black-armored soldiers, and another two to three hundred soldiers standing in a square iron cap with black tassels on their heads, and wearing a pair of black oil.
Wearing armor and carrying a black-tasseled spear in his hand, he quietly sneaked towards the canyon where the flowing water flowed.
This general dressed in black armor is of course Shan Tinggui, the training envoy of the Dezhou Army and Horse Regiment. He thought that the reason why the men and horses in the green forests of Qingzhou and Qingzhou were retreating was probably because he planned to lure the enemy into seizing the Dezhou Army.
Si Lai's reinforcements led the army out of Zengtou City. Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo agreed that Wei Dingguo would continue to lead most of Dezhou's troops to pursue the two mountain strongmen, while he would lead Xuan Jia's personal entourage and some brave men to sneak in first to predict the meeting of the rebel army.
He passed by the upper reaches of the water bank, and then used the method that he, the holy water general, was best at.
Shan Yangui was good at using the method of dipping troops in fresh water. In addition, he had served in Texas for many years, and he was already familiar with the topography of the mountains, rivers and rivers under his control. Therefore, Shan Yangui planned to lead his troops to the upper reaches of Waishui River.
At the mouth of the mountain stream, bags were filled with sand to act as a dam to block the water. When the rebel army lured Wei Dingguo to pass by the Waishui River, they immediately ordered the sergeants to pick up the bags together and wait for the monstrous water to rush downstream, causing most of the rebel army and horses to drown.
In the water, Wei Dingguo will lead a large number of men and horses to chase and kill him. How can we not achieve a great victory with this method of attacking with water and fire?
Finally, Shan Yangui led his troops to a confrontation between two cliffs. In the middle, there was a mountain stream mouth with a clear stream of water passing through.
The cloth bag stopped the river water. Soldiers who had followed him as the holy water for many years were also very skilled in blocking and breaking the water. After listening to Shan Tinggui's order, he immediately went to prepare the sandbags in full swing.
Shan Yangui stared intently at the blooming waves and the surging water, and for a moment he was lost in thought. He secretly said that although the strategy of attacking with water and fire was very good, he only hoped that it would be successful and that he could teach Qingzhou to invade.
That group of thieves retreated when they saw the difficulty, and did not dare to come back to Hebei to cause trouble... But even if we were able to repel that group of strong bandits, brother Wei Dingguo and I had made great achievements, but we still couldn't just let it go.
At the mercy of superior officials, there is no escape from your life?
The governor of Dezhou was originally a disciple of Cai Jing, and he got his position as the governor of the state by spreading money around. Local tycoons like the group in Zengtou City also used money, silk, gold and pearls to bribe state officials.
At that time, who were we generals serving in the military department?
However, heroes like Xiao Renxia, who are highly regarded by the court, may have to be controlled by power and influence everywhere in Bianjing, and now they have ended up dying in a foreign land... Such is the way of the world, even if our brothers are determined to make great achievements, after all
We still have to do something like looking after the homes and homes of those bullies who abuse their official positions. Although the strong men in the two mountains of Qingzhou are all thieves with no clean reputation, they do live happily...
Thinking of this, Shan Yangui couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Although he was complaining and indignant in his heart, he didn't just find a copycat to join the gang and become a strong man. No matter what kind of person or identity he is, I'm afraid he has his own last resort.
With helplessness, at this juncture, how can we hesitate in the war?
At this moment, a commander from the Xuanjia Army hurriedly rushed to Shan Tinggui and reported: "Single regiment training, there seems to be something strange in the dense forest on both sides of the mountain stream, and there seems to be an ambush!"
Shan Tinggui's expression changed immediately after hearing this, but before he could react, he heard someone laughing loudly in the forest in the mountain stream not far away: "General Shan Tinggui, our brothers have been waiting here for you for a long time!"
Before the laughter stopped, nearly a thousand archers rushed out from the mountains and forests on both sides. Each of them stretched their bow strings like a full moon, and the arrow clusters on the strings were steadily aimed at Shan Tinggui and the marching army.
, already ready to go!
Most of the Xuanjia Army and Jun Jian were holding half-full sandbags in their hands. They seemed to have been immobilized. They could only watch helplessly as the enemy ambushing them everywhere with bows and arrows. Shan Tinggui couldn't believe it.
He looked around at the ambush of strongmen with their bowstrings fully drawn, and thought in surprise: How is this possible? How could those gangsters have expected that I would build a dam to block the river here and prepare to release water to attack?
Could it be that...when this group of strongmen retreated eastward, they had guessed that I would take advantage of my plan and plan to deploy a water attack here?
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the forehead of the square iron hat Shan Tinggui wore. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. It stands to reason that there are few leaders who are good at warfare in the green forests and grasslands. Even if some of the strong men gathered in the two mountains of Qingzhou are good at resourcefulness,
, but how could those guys predict that I would definitely use sand and gravel as a dam here?
Shan Tinggui, who was trapped in a tight siege, gritted his teeth again. Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind, and thought that the two mountain strong bandits were still going to deal with the Wei Dingguo brothers. There would not be many strong men setting up an ambush here. If he forced his way out,
This group of thieves may not be able to stop me.
But now that the enemy has taken advantage of it, if they charge hard, most of the five hundred men under my command will be trapped here... Shan Tinggui tightly clenched the barrel of the spear in his hand, and for a moment
has been caught in a dilemma.
"Single regiment training, I hope you won't move lightly. I have no intention of harming the lives of your soldiers. Our brothers are waiting here for single regiment training, but we just want to talk to you about our friendship."
Shan Tinggui saw a strongman leader wearing a Haechi mask, holding an icy sword in his hand and riding a divine white horse, slowly riding through the dense forest surrounded by more than fifty riders.
When he came out, he happened to be blocked not far in front of Shan Tinggui's exit from the mountain stream.
Is this thief the co-owner behind the two mountain villages of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou? Shan Tinggui snorted coldly, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You are a strong bandit who is pretending to be a ghost! You are a strong thief who gathers in the mountains and forests.
, I am a court official who serves the country, what friendship do you and I have? Even if I fall into your trap this time, it would be delusional for me to be teased by you guys!"
Seeing Shan Tinggui's angry and embarrassed look, Xiao Tang slowly shook his head and said: "Shan Tuanlian, although you are a general and I am a strong man, I am definitely not here to play tricks on you. The current situation
It is obvious at a glance that our brothers have gained the upper hand. If a single regiment insists on fighting, I am afraid that all your troops will be lost here.
But if you can defeat the sword in my hand through single-group training, I will immediately ask my brother to let you go back, and I will never force you to stay. But if I win by luck, as I just said, please stay in my village for a while through single-group training.
Let’s stay here for a while and talk about our friendship with you.”
Shan Tinggui has always studied water attack methods and the ability to line up soldiers. He is not good at fighting in single combat. He also can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the strong leader in front of him. But now that the situation is forcing , and Shan Tinggui only heard that the troops from the two mountains of Qingzhou had defeated several state troops on Jingdong Road who went to encircle and suppress them, but he did not know that Xiao Tang had killed Yun Tianbiao, the commander-in-chief of Jingdong Road soldiers and horses who was good at swordsmanship, to cut off his beard. He had to deal with the matter of abandoning his robe secretly for a moment, and then said: "Since you can command the heroes of the two green forests and mountains, you must also be a man of integrity! Since you want to do the right thing, let it be up to you!"
After Shan Tinggui drank, he drove his horse straight towards Xiao Tang with a spear and ran towards him. Xiao Tang smiled slightly, slapped his horse with his sword, and fought with Shan Tinggui. It was just the first fight, and not even five or six rounds had passed. Shan Tinggui's marksmanship was already a bit messed up, and he knew that if the fight continued, he would never be a match for the strong leader in front of him!
Shan Tinggui fought hard and fought with Xiao Tang for ten more times. Suddenly Xiao Tang turned his hands around, and the sword's light suddenly appeared! He turned the back of the sword and took advantage of Shan Tinggui's middle door to open wide. He slapped with a force of four or five minutes and shouted: "Get down!" Shan Tinggui was slapped on the chest by the back of Xiao Tang's sweeping knife, and his body immediately flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground!
"Ahem...I was defeated." Shan Tinggui's internal organs were shattered by Xiao Tang's blow. He covered his chest with a slumped expression and said: "But if you want to capture me in the stronghold, It’s humiliating, why not kill me with one knife!”
Xiao Tang rode his horse up to Shan Tinggui and said leisurely: "Why did Shan Tinggui say this? I really just want to rekindle our friendship with you, or the old friendship between comrades who we fought together."
