Chapter 197 Ambushes from all sides
"How long will it take to capture Tong Guan alive?"
Suo Chao, the "pioneer" in the southwest, also wanted to take the first-class credit, so he galloped his horse with a big ax in hand.
Qin Ming had just won and before he had time to celebrate, when he saw the two brothers trying to take the credit from him, he immediately turned his horse and ran towards Tong Guan.
General Sanyuan was so majestic that Tong Guan hurriedly urged his horse to return to the central army.
On the imperial court's side, there are few opponents to the three of them.
The three men rushed into the camp like three sharp knives, killing the whole army and leaving them in pieces.
After losing nearly ten thousand horses, Tong Guan and others immediately ordered the army to retreat thirty miles and set up camp to temporarily avoid the sharp attack in Liangshanbo.
"Commander, I'm just here for the first time, so I just lost my location."
"When the soldiers and horses are well organized and lined up in a long snake formation, looking at each other from head to tail, we will definitely be able to capture many thieves in one fell swoop!" the soldiers offered their advice.
"This is a great plan, it just suits my purpose!"
Tong Guan was overjoyed and immediately purged the three armies and trained their troops.
Three days later, another large army was raised and came towards Liangshanbo to kill.
The troops were mobilized in this way, but no soldiers or horses came to stop them wherever they passed. It was strange everywhere.
Walking to the waterfront, I saw a fisherman fishing on the water on the other side.
"In ancient times, there was an empty city plan, but now there is an empty parking plan! It must be the thief who fired the arrow!"
An archer took the order and immediately shot an arrow, hitting the fisherman in the chest.
But a muffled sound was heard, and the arrow fell into the water. The same thing happened when he released another arrow.
"Soldiers who are sent to the water, swim over and capture the thief!"
After giving the order, another thirty or fifty people took off their armor and approached the fishing boat on the other side.
But the fisherman hit the soldiers on the head with his pole and knocked them all into the water one by one.
When Tong Guan saw that tens of thousands of troops were approaching but could not capture a single fisherman, he was furious and sent five hundred soldiers to cross the water.
Unexpectedly, the fisherman laughed loudly and said: "There is no way to hell, you broke in!"
He immediately pulled out his sword and threw it into the water. Relying on his good water properties, he turned into a water charm and harvested lives.
For a moment, blood dyed the water red.
This person is Zhang Shun, Langli Baitiao, who is here to attract the attention of the imperial army.
A fierce battle was going on in the water, and two groups of men and horses came out from behind the mountain.
The sound of killing was so loud that the soldiers in the imperial court were frightened, like a frightened bird.
"Don't panic! The thieves are few in number, so we are ready to be ready!"
"If anyone escapes, he will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing this, Tong Guan quickly opened his mouth to calm the soldiers' morale.
Tens of thousands of soldiers quickly grasped their swords and prepared for the attack.
Those dispatched from Liangshanbo's side were none other than Zhu Tong, the beautiful bearded male, and Lei Heng, the winged tiger. They led five thousand troops and charged directly towards the officers and soldiers.
Tong Guan's generals Feng Mei and Bi Sheng led their troops to meet the enemy. The four of them fought against each other in front of the two armies' formations, with no outcome determined for dozens of rounds.
After fighting, Lei Heng and Zhu Tong sold out their flaws and retreated up the mountain.
Feng Mei and Bi Sheng took advantage of the victory to pursue, while Tong Guan also urged the army to move forward.
When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we saw a crowd of people at the top of the mountain, drums and music, and all the rebels were laughing loudly, as if they were laughing at the imperial court's overestimation of its capabilities.
When Tong Guan heard the laughter, he became even more angry.
"Commander, I'm afraid there's an ambush on the mountain, so why don't we retreat first and then look at it!"
Fengmei was afraid that Liangshan was being deceived, so she quickly tried to persuade her.
"Now that things have come to this, how can we retreat?"
Before the two of them finished speaking, they could only hear the rear army getting confused.
"Report! Commander, a group of thieves rushed out from behind the Western Mountains and killed our rear army in two!" A spy came to report.
Tong Guan was startled and quickly led all the soldiers to rescue him.
At this time, drums sounded from behind Dongshan, and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming and Dadao Guan Sheng came out to fight.
Attacked from two sides, the army's position was immediately dispersed.
Feng Mei and Bi Sheng no longer wanted to fight, and hurriedly protected Tong Guan and fled for their lives.
Suddenly, Hu Yanzhuo, a double whip with a slanting thorn, and Lin Chong, a leopard-headed man, stopped everyone in their tracks again.
"Haha, it's finally my turn to play!"
"Tong Guan left school and ran away!"
Yu Daoxian gave a loud shout, and together with the traveler, led the five thousand infantry to charge.
As he continued to attack, he could clearly feel that the hostility in the demon star was dissipating bit by bit.
But this violent energy did not dissipate between heaven and earth. Instead, along with the evil energy and blood energy in the military formation, it slowly sank into the Juye swamp at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.
"I vaguely remember that the last time I was killed by Jiutian Xuannv, there were unknown fluctuations in the water."
"It's strange! I've been here for so long, but I didn't realize the mystery behind it!"
Along with this thought, he deliberately exposed a flaw.
Feng Mei and Bi Sheng saw the opportunity of the fighter, fought hard to open a hole, and fled quickly with the remaining defeated soldiers.
Yu Daoxian took advantage of the situation to pursue and approached Liangshanshuibo step by step.
The demonic thoughts also immersed themselves in the water and launched a search.
Diving ten feet deep, the deeper the demonic thoughts go, the darker the water becomes.
It was as if there was a layer of darkness behind him, and even with his current strength, he could not see the true appearance of the water.
"How could this happen? Is there a bottomless pit under the water?"
Judging from the information fed back by the demonic thoughts, it had already dived more than a hundred feet, but still had not touched the boundary, which made Yu Daoxian suspicious.
Gululu!
Just when he was distracted, a whirlpool suddenly rolled up in the darkness, leaving him no time to react, and swallowed up the evil thoughts in one fell swoop.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
At the last moment when the demonic thoughts dissipated, he was greeted with a burst of rough laughter and a blurry face.
"really……"
"Is the Demon Star gathered here to suppress this military leader from another level?"
Having lost a wisp of demonic thoughts and gained new information, Yu Daoxian suddenly felt that he was not at a loss.
"Chi You is buried under Liangshan Mountain. This is the intersection between the state of mind of all sentient beings and the real world."
"If one day, I want to leave this world early, this is an important location."
The feeling brought to him by the water pool is completely different from the state of mind of all living beings. It is the separation between illusion and reality.
"The emperor's palace, too!"
"Liangjie Mountain in the west is even more so!"
There are two other places he knows of, which are also different from the situation here.
…
The infantry led by Yu Zhishen failed to capture Tong Guan, but behind them were Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi, Li Kui, Zhang Qing and others, who had already laid an ambush, waiting for the imperial army to fall into their trap.
Song Jiang had long wanted to surrender, so naturally he didn't want to really win over the other party.
After killing for most of the day, Tong Guan, under the cover of Bi Sheng, led the remaining defeated soldiers back to the capital overnight.
Fengmei was captured by Liangshan and his party and escorted to Zhongyi Hall.
"General, we have no different intentions and only wish to submit to the imperial court."
"However, there is no way to serve the country. I hope the general can say a few kind words to me after he returns to the court!"
Song Jiang personally untied Fengmei, held a banquet and left her to rest in the village for two days before sending her down the mountain.
"When Tong Guan goes home to report to the officials, I don't know what trouble will happen!"
"We still have to send someone to the capital to inquire about the news so that we can prepare in advance." Wu Yong suggested again.
"What the military advisor said is absolutely true! I wonder which of the brothers is willing to go?" Song Jiang asked.
"Brother Gongming, I would like to go!"
Someone immediately spoke up, it was none other than Dai Zong, the Taibao of Shenxing.
"I'm going with Brother Dai Zong!"
