"These days, the world has really changed. In the past, the strong men of Zhujiazhuang were more disciplined than the officers and soldiers of Dongchang Prefecture. Judging from the formation of Zengtou City in front of us, they seemed to be much more elite than the soldiers of Dongping Prefecture.
Ah." Shi Jin said when he saw Zengtou City's troops and horses waiting in formation.
"The Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army have become extremely heavy and cumbersome. They are no longer the elite that dominated the world with Emperor Taizu more than a hundred years ago." Qiao Daoqing said: "But this Shi Wengong does have some skills, and he did not fall into the trap and led the troops here.
attack."
After knowing that Dong Ping was killed, Shi Wengong led his army and horses to form an array on the spot. He also asked Zeng Tu to lead his rear army to catch up with him and join him in a tight formation. Then the Liangshan army arrived one after another. Shi Wengong did not take advantage of Liangshan's unsteady foothold.
Launch an attack.
In fact, it was a trap. If Shi Wengong really did that, Qiao Daoqing would definitely let Shi Wengong experience for himself what it meant to be separated and surrounded.
The formation set up by Liangshan is called the Queyue Formation. This formation looks chaotic, but actually contains several changes. As long as Shi Wengong really dares to lead his army into the formation, the army can separate and surround Shi Wengong's army in minutes, and then gather together to annihilate him.
Of.
It's a pity that Shi Wengong didn't fall into the trap. He actually waited for Liangshan's army to complete their formation. He didn't know whether he planned to fight Liangshan's army with real swords or guns, or whether he saw Liangshan's plan. The latter may be more likely.
Let's have more.
Shi Wengong was Zhou Tong's eldest disciple. According to Lin Chong, Shi Wengong was different from Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi loved to dance with guns and sticks. In terms of martial arts attainments, Shi Wengong was not as good as Lu Junyi, but Shi Wengong was interested in military law. Zhou Tong once relied on his own
Because of his connections, Shi Wengong was allowed to serve in the Western Army. Unfortunately, Shi Wengong was unable to gain a foothold in the Western Army because he offended the Zhe family, so he left the army and wandered around the world. By chance, he joined Zengtou City and became the chief instructor of Zengtou City.
Although Shi Wengong was only nominally the "teacher" of Zengtou City, in fact, he was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in Zengtou City. Zengtou City's army and horses were basically under his control. Zeng Nong trusted Shi Wengong very much, and Zengtou City set up five
There was a large village, and Shi Wengong commanded the center.
"Chao Gai is here, who dares to fight?" After receiving Chen Kui's permission, Chao Gai went out to fight.
"I'm here to meet you." From the Zengtou City army, a man in his early thirties, with a reddish complexion and holding a spear, rode forward on his horse.
"Who are you?" Chao Gai asked, pointing his spear.
"Your grandfather once Tu Ye, take a shot from me."
"Watch the gun."
Chao Gai also stepped forward with his spear, and the two fought together for twenty rounds, but the two steel spears could not tell the winner.
Zeng Tu is the leader of the five tigers of the Zeng family, and the strongest among the five brothers. In his early years, he lived with his father in the bitter cold of the far north, making a living by hunting and gathering. He developed strong muscles and excellent equestrian skills. Later, he was trained by Shi Wengong and Su
He is well-trained and has superb marksmanship. In the novel, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng can't defeat him together. If Hua Rong hadn't launched an arrow to sneak up on him, Liangshan would have lost two heroes before they met Fang La.
Zeng Tu is very powerful, but Chao Gai, the "King of Pagodas" is not bad at all. Although Chao Gai never really takes action in the novel, we can still get a glimpse from the description. Chao Gai can single-handedly suppress demons.
He snatched the bluestone pagoda back to Dongxi Village. It can be seen that his strength is not much worse than that of Lu Zhishen who uprooted the weeping willows. He did not love women and did not marry a wife. He spent all day beating his muscles and bones, dancing with guns and clubs. With this perseverance, he also
He has developed strong martial arts skills.
After another twenty rounds of fighting, Zeng Tu's marksmanship began to become a little messy, and he dodged left and right many times.
"I'm here to meet you!" Seeing that his brother was at a disadvantage, Zeng Kui stepped forward with his gun, hoping to defend the enemy together with his eldest brother.
"It's not a good man to bully the small, let me meet you!" Lu Fang, who was beside Chen Kui, saw this and rode out. Lu Fang and Shi Xiu, as commanders of Chen Kui's guards, unless they have other tasks,
Otherwise, he would always follow Chen Kui.
Seeing this, Zeng Kui had to deal with Lu Fang first. As mentioned earlier, among the five tigers of the Zeng family, only the fourth, Zeng Kui, was talented in both civil and military affairs. He was the most loved by Shi Wengong, and his marksmanship was also Shi Wengong's true inheritance. He could compete with Lin Chong.
He fought for twenty rounds without losing; of course Lu Fang was not bad either. He followed Chen Kui all day long, hearing and seeing, plus fighting against many masters on Liangshan Mountain. His martial arts were much higher than those in the novel, and he could
He fought Shi Jin for a hundred rounds without losing.
The four of them each caught each other and fought each other. The dust was flying and the weapons were clashing. It was very lively.
"Ah!" Zeng Tu suddenly wailed. After a closer look, it turned out that it was Chao Gai who had stabbed him in the calf.
"Chao Gai, be careful of hidden arrows!" Chen Kui suddenly shouted. It turned out that Shi Wengong saw that his apprentice was defeated by Chao Gai, and he was worried about making a mistake, so he quickly fired an arrow to save him, and the arrow went straight towards Chao Gai.
Perhaps Chao Gai was destined to owe Shi Wengong an arrow. In the novel, Chao Gai was ambushed and shot in the face with a poisonous arrow. The poisonous arrow had the words "Shi Wengong" written on it. After escaping back to Liangshan,
He died, leaving many guesses to the readers. Many readers believed that the arrow was not actually shot by Shi Wengong, but Song Jiang's conspiracy. After all, there were only three words on the arrow, and anyone could engrave those three words on it.
.
However, in Chen Kui's view, it was all intentional by Uncle Shi. Chao Gai had already reached the point of "death". After all, if Chao Gai did not die, Song Jiang would not be able to ascend to power, and then Water Margin would not be Water Margin, because Chao Gai was a millionaire.
It is impossible to accept the imperial court's invitation.
This is similar to why in the novel, after the wild boar forest, Lu Zhishen did not send Buddha to the west and escort Lin Chong to Cangzhou, but left halfway. That is because if Lu Zhishen also went to Cangzhou, then the protagonist of the story would not be Lin Chong.
Chai Jin, but Lu Zhishen.
When Chao Gai heard Chen Kui's shout, he quickly abandoned Zeng Tu and leaned down to avoid the hidden arrows. However, perhaps Chao Gai was destined to have this disaster. Shi Wengong's arrow still hit Chao Gai's face, and Chao Gai's face was immediately covered with blood.
, but fortunately they were only scratched by the arrows, and there was no poison on the arrows. Zeng Tu and Chao Gai each fled back to their own formation.
"You dare."
Chen Kui shouted loudly, picked up the Zhuying spear and rode out into the battle. Shi Wengong saw Chen Kui, the leader of the thieves, actually stepped forward in person, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the Fangtian painted halberd and went out into the battle.
"drive!"
Chen Kui and Shi Wengong accelerated at the same time and went straight towards each other.
clang!
The two horses passed by each other, and the two of them exchanged moves, with no winner or loser.
Facing a master like Shi Wengong, Chen Kui naturally did not dare to be careless. He used all his abilities and entered the state of man and horse. The black horse under his crotch did not need to be controlled by Chen Kui at all. He turned around directly and Chen Kui chased after him.
He followed Shi Wengong and killed him.
"Well done!" Shi Wengong had just turned his horse around when he saw that Chen Kui was already coming to kill him. He was shocked, but he didn't bother to gather his strength and had to meet him.
