Chao Gai glanced at the leaders with extremely calm eyes. It seemed that he noticed something strange about Chao Gai, and the leaders who originally looked excited couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts.
No one is a fool. In fact, everyone is well aware of the problems between Song Jiang and Chao Gai on weekdays, especially when Song Jiang forms cliques in private and has the intention of evading Chao Gai.
Because Chao Gai was open-minded and straightforward, he didn't seem to care about these things, which also fueled the arrogance of many people.
Compared with Song Jiang's methods, Chao Gai, who had a straightforward temper, was naturally not as able to win over people as Song Jiang.
Fortunately, due to Chao Gai's own character, although Liangshan has a faint tendency to split into two factions, these hidden dangers have not exploded until now.
Although Song Jiang said that he took away some of his confidants, how could Song Jiang not leave some of his confidants in the village?
For example, Li Ying, Lei Heng, and Zhu Ding, who were fighting against the sky, could be said to be Song Jiang's confidants, but they were left behind in the village by Song Jiang.
The ones who shouted loudest just now were Lei Heng, Zhu Dian and the others.
However, Chao Gai's strange behavior made several people close their mouths one by one and frown slightly.
It was at this time that the small boat in the distance gradually approached Dazhai, and behind the small boat was a rout of troops, which looked very scary.
Just looking at the defeated soldiers, one can tell that these copycat soldiers have lost all order. If the stronghold gate is really opened, these defeated soldiers will definitely break down the stronghold gate in fear and recklessly.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong finally approached Dazhai under the protection of Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong. However, what they saw was the closed gate of the village, and bows and arrows pointing at them from afar.
Seeing such a situation, Song Jiang couldn't help but feel shocked. At the same time, Wu Yong also looked towards Song Jiang, and the two looked at each other.
Taking a long breath, Song Jiang said in a long voice, "Brother Chao Gai, please open the village gate!"
Although they were separated by dozens of feet, both sides could see each other clearly, and they could hear each other clearly when they shouted loudly.
Chao Gai stood there, looking at the Song Jiang people on the boat from a distance, and said quietly: "My dear brother Gong Ming, if it weren't for my brother, he would not open the gate of the village. You also know that once the gate of the village is opened, the defeated troops will rush in. We, Liangshan
I’m afraid it will cease to exist!”
Song Jiang and Wu Yong's expressions changed. Chao Gai meant that he was unwilling to open the village gate.
The two of them turned around and looked behind them, and saw the dark area, which contained thousands of men and horses. Most of these men and horses were their trusted subordinates.
It can be said that this time Song Jiang and Wu used them to fight, and they brought out 70 to 80% of their elite men. As for less than 20% who stayed in the village, when they realized that they were losing to the official army, Song Jiang,
The first thing Wu Yong and others thought of was these subordinates.
These elites are the basis for their foothold in the Shanzhai. Without these elites to rely on, their voice in the Shanzhai will definitely fall to the bottom.
Song Jiang couldn't help but gave a big salute to Chao Gai and said: "The officers and soldiers have not yet arrived, and it is still too late to open the village gate. Please be kind and righteous, and give all the brothers a way out!"
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they couldn't help shouting: "Open the gate of the village quickly and let us in!"
These defeated soldiers were frightened by the officers and soldiers. Seeing the officers and soldiers behind them getting closer and closer, the village gate in front was closed tightly. These people almost did not attack the village gate directly.
In the village, Lei Heng looked at Song Jiang and others, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said to Chao Gai: "Brother, we are all our brothers, do we really want to sit back and watch Brother Gongming and the others fall into the hands of the army?"
Chao Gai just glanced at Lei Heng, pointed at the people behind him with a cold face and said: "Lei Heng, you should also open your eyes and take a good look. The tens of thousands of brothers and their families in our village are all counting on the protection of the village.
Have you ever thought about what will happen once the village gate is opened..."
Lei Heng was stunned and said subconsciously: "But Brother Song Jiang and the others..."
Chao Gai waved his sleeves and said: "I believe Gongming will be able to understand my good intentions!"
After speaking, Chao Gai said loudly to Song Jiang on the boat: "My dear brother, there are many old and weak in the village, and the gate of the village cannot be opened. Please forgive me, my dear brother. If you want to blame me, let me blame it on my brother!"
After hearing this, Song Jiang couldn't help but look at Chao Gai with an expression of disbelief. For a moment, Song Jiang couldn't help but have doubts. Is this still the righteous and open-minded King Chao Gai?
Even Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai with a suspicious look. At this moment, a shout of death came from behind him.
Looking back, I saw a figure coming across the water, causing a bloody storm wherever it passed. Isn't it the army led by Hu Yanzhuo?
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu could not help but look frightened when they saw this situation. Even though they were not afraid of death, they did not want to make fearless sacrifices. Facing a powerful celestial being like Hu Yanzhuo, even if they rushed
If you go up there, you will be beaten to death if you can't hold on even one move, and the opponent may not even take it to heart.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Song Jiang gritted his teeth, glanced at the village, stamped his feet and said, "Let's go!"
Hearing what Song Jiang said, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu were stunned for a moment, looking at Song Jiang in astonishment, and then looking at their men behind them who were being massacred by the army, Shi Xiu couldn't help but said: "Don't we have to abandon these brothers?
"
Song Jiang cried and said: "It's not that Mr. Song is cruel, it's just that the gate of the village cannot be opened, and there is no way to save him. If I can't leave, no one can escape."
At this moment, Wu Yong nodded and said: "Yes, brother Gongming is right. Even if we keep ourselves useful to avenge our brothers in the future, we cannot wait here to die."
Yang Xiong nodded towards Shi Xiu and the others and said, "We will take Brother Gongming and the military advisor out now!"
Soon Song Jiang and Wu Yong, under the cover of Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, changed their shapes, blended into the rebel army, and disappeared among the reeds.
Many people in the village saw this situation, such as Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and others who saw Song Jiang. Wu Yong left and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Liu Tang, Bai Sheng and others who were standing next to Chao Gai saw Song Jiang and Wu Yong leaving together, and they all said in an indignant tone: "It's really easy for them, that is, brother Renyi, otherwise, at that time,
Just take them down."
Chao Gai withdrew his gaze, shook his head slightly and said: "He Song Gongming can be unkind, but I, Chao Gai, cannot be unjust. If you ask me to deal with my brothers with my own hands, Chao Gai can't do it."
Bai Sheng curled his lips and said: "These scholars are too narrow-minded. After all, Wu Xue is not from the same group as us!"
Obviously Bai Sheng did not have a good relationship with Wu Yong in the past, but now that he saw Wu Yong leaving with Song Jiang, he couldn't help but sigh like this.
Pu Tian Diao Li Ying looked at Song Jiang with a strange expression, Wu Yong looked at the direction in which they were leaving, and then looked at Chao Gai with a vague doubt in his heart.
Although the gate of the cottage is closed, it can only stop those ordinary soldiers. For Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, the gate of the cottage is just a few feet high. Even if they bring Song Jiang, Wu Yong and the others, it is just a blink of an eye.
It can be overcome with effort.
However, Song Jiang and the others did not do that. If there was nothing weird in this, Li Ying didn't believe it anyway.
Not only Li Ying, but many people with sharp minds had doubts when Song Jiang and the others chose to escape far away instead of climbing over the wall outside the village gate.
Everyone secretly looked at Chao Gai, and they had a clear understanding in their hearts. It was probably Song Jiang and Chao Gai, the first and second in command of the village, who were not aware of the bad blood between them.
A loud shout like thunder came, and everyone's thoughts were pulled back by this loud shout.
Many people followed the sound and saw two figures fighting in the sky, it was Hu Yanzhuo and Chao Gai.
Hu Yanzhuo held both whips in his hands and said while fighting with Chao Gai: "Chao Gai, if you don't surrender, you will be captured. Even if you are a powerful person, you are no match for the imperial court."
Chao Gai said nothing, but the copper stick in his hand became more and more sharp.
I don't know when, a small boat came slowly. Wherever it passed, the two sides of the fighting seemed to be driven away by an invisible force. There was no one within a dozen feet around the small boat.
Any ship can approach.
Chu Yi stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the stronghold in front of him. He saw a group of people using the thick gate of the stronghold to resist the charge of the army.
Chao Gai and others obviously built Liangshan as a nest, so the village gate was extremely strong, especially the village gate. So many soldiers charged again and again, but they were unable to break through the village gate.
Door.
Chu Yi reached out and grabbed it in the air, and immediately a spear flew into Chu Yi's hand. He held the spear in his hand, and Chu Yi threw the spear casually.
There was an explosion, as if the void had been pierced. The next moment, there was only a roar, and the originally closed gate of the cottage was blown open by the spear thrown by Chu Yi, creating a huge gap.
The extremely thick gate was blown open, swaying, then crashed, and was stunned to the ground by the officers and soldiers who stormed the village gate.
When an officer and general saw this, his eyes lit up, he shouted loudly, and led a group of imperial soldiers into the stronghold.
However, in this case, the shouts of the general who led his men into the stronghold suddenly stopped, and the soldiers who followed him into the stronghold also stopped moving.
In the village, there are figures with a strong aura surrounding them. People such as Mu Hong, Xie Zhen, Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing, etc., although they cannot compare with the top players in the world, they are still stronger than many Forbidden Army generals.
many.
Dozens of leaders took action together, which was comparable to hundreds of elite soldiers, so it was not surprising that the imperial soldiers who rushed into the stronghold were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
