Pei Xuan stopped the commander of the fifth regiment who was about to send the second batch of charging soldiers: "I will also send a clerk up here to check the situation."

After half a stick of incense, a propaganda officer under Pei Xuan followed the third company and ran to the position near the fortress.

The Third Company was preparing for a charge, and the propaganda officer and a squad of propaganda soldiers took out the big iron trumpet that Pei Xuan carried.

Start shouting to the fortress position on the mountain.

"Brothers in Liangshan, listen up. Your eldest brother Song Jiang has given up on you. If you are willing to surrender now, our Village Master Sun will definitely leave you a way to survive. If you still don't surrender, there will be no other choice but to continue fighting."

"Now there is only one regiment at the foot of the mountain, and by the afternoon there will be five regiments. You may be able to resist for a while, but you will definitely surrender by the afternoon!"

After a few shouts from here, the people above noticed it and fired desperately at this place. Several propagandists quickly shrank their heads. At the same time, after clearly seeing the position of the shooter above, three consecutive volleys of guns fired at him. , and after a suona sound, he quickly launched a charge.

This charge attracted the enemy's firepower and rushed forward in an instant, causing about five casualties to the fortress position in front.

Unfortunately, the road was too narrow, and halfway through the charge, they finally couldn't move forward. So the rally call was sounded, and under the cover of a burst of gunfire, the Third Company withdrew again.

Lin Chong stood in front of the position, listening to the constant shouting of the people below and couldn't help but frown.

Zheng Tianshou gritted his teeth and said to Lin Chong and Ling Zhen: "This militia group from Sunjiazhuang actually used this low-level method to destabilize the morale of our army. Don't worry, Brother Song Jiang, as long as we stay here for a while, we can withdraw in the afternoon."

Lin Chong and Ling Zhen both said nothing. Zheng Tianshou glanced at them and heard the constant noise below, and whispered: "You two must be determined."

Lin Chong glanced at the little leaders next to him. They were scolding the guard soldiers who were a little relieved after hearing the words of the propagandist below.

Lin Chong shook his head.

"I'm already a member of Liangshan Mountain. How could I do something treacherous? If they come up to me, I will die."

"Okay! Brother, please speak quickly. If you have this spirit, then we can go back together to see Brother Song Jiang!"

Zheng Tianshou looked at Ling Zhen again and said: "We need to add more firearms to the position, and General Ling's men will be needed for this."

Ling Zhen's expression became even worse. Zheng Tianshou looked at him for a long time before Ling Zhen turned around.

Zheng Tianshou looked at his back and knew that three of the seven old military craftsmen who had followed Ling Zhen to Liangshan had been killed during the breakout, and the remaining four were left in the camp at this time. They were the most skilled. If Ling Zhen had not been the operator of the trebuchet, these people would have taken one step at a time and two steps at a time.

At this moment, he heard the sound of volleys of guns and gunpowder in front of him again. Zheng Tianshou cursed in his heart. This protective army was really difficult to deal with. They rushed up as hard as if they were not afraid of death. Compared with the earliest Liangshan soldiers, they were even more desperate. Vigor.

The Liangshan soldiers who were guarding the main road alone had killed dozens of people. I couldn't imagine how the protective troops charging below could endure such heavy casualties and still dare to run up.

Zheng Tianshou raised his voice and encouraged the people around him: "Don't believe the bluffs of those Dengzhou militiamen. They fought so hard. If they break this stronghold, will they still give us a way to survive?"

"The only possibility for our one or two thousand brothers to survive is to return to Liangshan and have a fight with the hawks and dogs of their court. If we are captured by them here, they will all be handed over to the court to be beheaded!"

Just then, I suddenly saw a little leader in front of me running back in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Zheng Tianshou asked with a frown. The people placed in front were all Lin Chong's soldiers. This man was also the leader of Lin Chong's men. He was not very familiar with him. Zhentian Beast couldn't command them.

"Their escort troops are coming up again."

"Then why don't you stop it quickly?"

The leader had a troubled look on his face: "What they sent this time is...our brothers..."

Zheng Tianshou was also stunned.

After a few breaths, Zheng Tianshou and Lin Chong were already standing on the front line. They watched from a distance as people stood up at the foot of the mountain. Several people shouted at the mountain with tin trumpets.

They had already run very close to the position, which meant that the performance of the muskets on the mountain was too poor to hit them. If Ling Zhen had let Ling Zhen fire a few more explosive packets, they would still be able to reach them, so the shouts were very clear.

"Brother on the mountain, I am Li Da!"

"Protect the troops and don't kill the prisoners!"

"Our brothers who were captured before are now fed, drunk and treated for their injuries. If they like the ones who can serve as soldiers, they can stay. If not, they will give us a few strings of money and ask us to go back to our hometowns on our own."

"I am telling the truth, unlike the previous leader in the village who only used lies to deceive you!"

Lin Chong and Zheng Tianshou looked at each other with horrified expressions, and quickly looked at the soldiers next to them.

I saw two soldiers beside me holding muskets blankly, looking at the shouting brothers down the mountain.

Li Da turned out to be a small leader under Lin Chong, and everyone recognized him. This guy was the most stubborn before, and he even charged at the front when Liangshan broke out.

Everyone originally thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that he actually became a protector and came to help persuade them to surrender.

What he said was very touching.

The words shouted by the protecting army before were actually very effective. The defenders on the mountain felt that Song Jiang had already abandoned them.

They are just standing guard here because they believe what Zheng Tianshou said before that the court will definitely not forgive them and have no way out. But if they can really surrender and survive, who would not want to?

Hearing the shouting below, Zhentian Beast's face turned pale, and he shouted quickly: "Blow that guy to death with explosives!"

Ling Zhen on the side resisted a little, and Zheng Tianshou directly drew his weapon to threaten the old military craftsman.

An explosive package was fired, and there was green smoke. Seeing this, the protection troops below quickly ran away from the position. After the loud noise and smoke, someone seemed to be injured and was carried away by several people. There was finally no sound below.

Pei Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, turned to the banker beside him and said: "Hurry up and notify the back, and use horses to send more prisoners over first."

Anyway, if two more regiments come from behind, it will be difficult to take down the position in front. It is better to use more horses to transport prisoners first, which will have a better effect. ωωw..net

At noon, the position below was already full of noise. They were all brothers who had surrendered from Liangshan to the Protective Army. The Protective Army adopted a timely surrender policy in front of the formation. Many Liangshan bandits were willing to surrender, but not necessarily

Become a protector, but at least save one life.

The thousands of people on the mountain may not be able to hear what is shouted below, but the identity of the people who are not dressed as protectors can be known at a glance. In an instant, the reputation of the protectors for not killing prisoners has already become that of the people on the mountain.

People believed it.

Zheng Tianshou's face turned blue, he glared at the people at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at Lin Chong beside him:
Chapter completed!
