Chapter 222 Death in succession
After winning a battle, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi joined forces and went to pick up Hu Yanzhuo's troops so that they could join forces to attack the city.
After receiving the order, Lu Junyi led his troops and horses to set off, and happened to encounter the enemy's general Si Xingfang.
The two sides fought again for a while, but Si Xingfang was obviously no match for Tiangang Star, and he drowned after being defeated.
Hu Yanzhuo led his troops and gathered them together, except that the winged tiger Lei Heng and the flower-headed tiger Gong Wang were missing.
After hearing this, Song Jiang burst into tears and said to everyone: "Brother Zhang Shun was dreaming about me that day. There were several people covered in blood and stains standing next to him. They must be these brothers!"
"When I capture the city, I will definitely invite a few monks to perform a ritual ceremony to save our brothers!"
"This day, Lord Tiankui Star has completed his mission and is lying down?"
"Why was his human incarnation allowed to be eroded by the fate of Buddhism?"
"Or is it that Buddhism is so powerful that it affects the entire war situation?"
Seeing Song Jiang's "weird" behavior, Yu Daoxian was filled with questions.
As a member of the other party's Taoist sect, he had to ask a Taoist priest to perform the ritual, but it happened to be the responsibility of the monk.
No more gossip.
The army gathered together and attacked the city gates on all sides.
Song Jiang led a large group of troops and marched straight to the north gate.
The North Gate Suspension Bridge was lowered, and Marshal Shi Bao of Nanli came out.
Suo Chao, the vanguard, was also impatient and rushed over with a long-handled axe.
Shi Bao parried for several rounds, then showed off his weakness and left.
"Don't chase after me!"
Guan Sheng, who was holding the battle, saw this and shouted a reminder.
It's a pity it's too late!
The vanguard rushed too fast and accidentally got hit in the face with a hammer, like a watermelon bursting open.
Shi Bao's special move "Pegasus Meteor" is a great achievement!
Deng, a fiery-eyed Suani, rushed to rescue him, but was cut in half by Shi Bao, who was riding back.
At this time, the national counselor Deng Yuanjue led his troops to fight again, and the Song army was severely defeated.
Fortunately, Hua Rong and Qin Ming came out from one side and solved the danger of Song Jiang.
On the other side, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang wanted to take the lead and charge into the city with one ride and one sword.
Seeing this, the enemy soldiers on the city wall cut off the rope with a knife, and the gate on the door fell down, killing him and his horse.
The city could not be attacked, and three more demon stars were broken off in a row.
"Brother, don't be sad. Tomorrow I, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun will work together to capture the stone treasure!"
Li Kui saw that Song Jiang was very anxious and immediately asked for help.
"That Shi Bao is a person, you have to deal with it carefully!" Song Jiang warned.
"Brother, just feel at ease!"
That night Li Kui served wine and meat and invited three people to have a banquet.
"I and the others will definitely fight for it!"
Then he ate meat and drank wine, feeling very happy.
At dawn the next day, the four men went into battle drunkenly.
"You guys really treat your lives as child's play!"
When Song Jiang saw their drunken state, his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother, don't underestimate me!"
After that, the four people rushed out of the formation.
Shi Bao led two generals to fight against the four.
Li Kui was not afraid of anything and ran all the way to Shi Bao's horse.
Shi Bao slashed with his sword, and the horse's leg was cut off by Li Kui's axe.
"You must not be surrounded!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Bao quickly jumped off his horse and hid in the military formation.
Bao Xu on the side was even more arrogant, charging directly into the city gate with a big sword. Unexpectedly, Shi Bao was ambushing him there and cut him in half with a sword while he was unprepared.
Losing the gate god eventually perished under the city gate.
Seeing Bao Xu's death, Li Kui burst into tears on the spot.
…
Everyone was unable to attack for a long time, and just when they were hesitating, a turning point appeared.
It turned out that two brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, discovered the grain transport ship in the city more than 20 miles outside the south gate.
Wu Yong said with great joy: "I was about to borrow this grain ship to send my brothers and I into the city!"
At that time, many evil spirits were sent, pretending to be boatmen and sailors, and mixed with the crowd to move grain, rice and other items into the city.
At this time, Song Jiang and others cooperated to attack the city again, so that a group of people could stay in the city.
At the second watch that night, Hongtian Lei Lingzhen took out nine boxes of artillery, secretly ran to the top of the mountain and fired off the artillery.
Using the artillery as a signal, the Earth Evil Star began to set fire everywhere, and the city was in chaos in an instant.
The soldiers guarding the gate mistakenly thought that the Song army had invaded the city, and they all fled for their lives.
Song Jiang and his entourage stormed in in a mighty manner.
Fang Tianding got on his BMW and took advantage of the chaos to escape.
As he hurried to the riverside, the horse beneath him seemed to be frozen and could not be moved.
With a splash, a figure emerged from the river, holding a knife in his mouth, and walked straight towards him.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
It was dark all around, and what happened to the horse made Fang Tianding frightened and asked stammeringly.
The man didn't answer, he just pulled him off his horse, cut off his head and left.
Not long after, they happened to meet Hu Yanzhuo and others, and everyone was surprised.
"Brother Zhang Heng, where did you come from?"
Zhang Heng, however, did not look back and went straight to Song Jiang, bowed twice and offered his head.
"Brother Zhang Heng, where did you come from? Where are the Ruan brothers, why are they not with you?"
Song Jiang hurriedly helped him up and asked.
"Brother, I'm not Zhang Heng!" he replied.
"If it's not Zhang Heng, then who are you?"
"Brother, little brother Zhang Shun! Fortunately, I was taken in by Lord Long of West Lake and became an official in Shuifu Mansion."
"Today I saw my brother lying in the river, so I borrowed his body and took Fang Tianding's head to give to my brother Gongming!"
After saying this, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Everyone hurriedly supported him, and within a moment, Zhang Heng woke up again.
"Could it be that I meet you brothers in the underworld?"
When he saw Song Jiang and others surrounding him, he thought everyone was "reunited".
"I was possessed by your brother Zhang Shun just now and killed the thief Fang Tianding. We are all fine!"
"Ah! So my brother is dead?"
With a cry, he fainted again.
…
After taking the city, Ruan Xiaoqi and other talents arrived belatedly.
"My little brother originally wanted to take a boat into the Qiantang River, but unexpectedly the wind was in the wrong direction and blew us all the way to the ocean."
"After turning the bow of the boat, another wave hit the boat and damaged the boat, and everyone fell into the water."
"Hou Jian and Duan Jingzhu drowned in the sea because they didn't know the nature of water!"
The brachiosaurus and the golden retriever eventually perished.
Since crossing the river, Song Jiang had lost so many brothers. He felt very sad and immediately invited the monks from the temple to open a water and land ashram to save the souls of the dead for seven consecutive days and nights.
When the emperor heard that everyone had captured the city, he sent angels to bring him royal wine and other rewards.
Unfortunately, the imperial court did not know that many soldiers had been killed, and the rewards they sent were based on the previous number, which made Song Jiang feel hurt again.
After resting for half a month, the army divided into two groups and headed towards Fangla's den of thieves.
Song Jiang and his party advanced by land and water, and sent Ruan Xiaoer to lead a thousand naval troops to attack Fangla's water village.
Unexpectedly, the water stronghold had already been arranged inside. The wooden rafts were made of pine and fir trees, and fire starters were hidden inside, so that the Song soldiers and navy launched a fire attack.
Ruan Xiaoer was unable to escape, so he pulled out his sword and killed himself. Lieutenant General Meng Kang was also shot through his helmet by artillery and became a ghost in the water.
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were filial piety, and they kept saying they wanted to avenge their brothers.
