Chapter 237: Unlucky to use troops to attack Yuncheng
"We occupy the east gate. Just now, the commander-in-chief said that your men have captured the west gate. Wouldn't that be the perfect middle pass? We can advance or retreat. Why don't we go straight to Huanglong and capture Yuncheng County in one fell swoop? Otherwise, we will be in trouble in the future. If we attack the city, we will lose today's advantage." Wang Ying, the short-footed tiger, felt that these few words he said were very reasonable, and there was no plan left.
Wang Ying raised his voice, and Li Kui, who was fighting in front, also heard it. He chopped down the two rows of officers and soldiers on the left and right with two axes, and responded with his rough voice: "What Wang Diaohu said is, if you want to kill, kill as fast as you can," and then he said , Li Kui rushed to the front and chopped down the surrounding officers and soldiers one by one.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu didn't speak. They just looked at Shi Jin. From the perspective of the two brothers, it didn't matter whether they attacked Yuncheng County or not. However, Ma Lin came up with his hundreds of people and said, "Sooner or later, Yuncheng County will be attacked." If we have to fight, we have already fought to this extent. Most of the troops have arrived, and there will be no reinforcements in the future. Why not just fight to the end. No matter whether it is success or failure, we can at least be worthy of those dead brothers."
"Yes, many brothers died in order to attack these gates. Except for Tieniu, there is no news about the rest of the Pioneer Battalion. I'm afraid it's a disaster. And brother Gongming's whereabouts are unknown, although he went to the west gate. , However, there are many variables in the melee, and it is impossible to say which alley we are trapped in and need our rescue," Dai Zong also said at this time.
Qin Ming made up his mind not to stay in Liangshan anymore. He had long felt the turbulent whirlpool in Liangshan. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life here, let alone become a butcher's knife in the hands of others. He came to Liangshan in the first place. At that time, he wanted to join the Green Forest Army and lead the army under Dao Shijin. Now Qin and Ming Dynasty are fighting against Yuncheng County, and they don't care about Song Jiang's life and death. Now I can hear these Song Jiang's staff talking about it. Zhan, took some time off from his busy schedule and shouted loudly: "We all have rat eyes, so long-term plans are left to the commander-in-chief's decision."
"You don't care about brother Gongming's life or death?" Wang Ying contradicted him.
This sentence was said very rudely, which made Qin Ming feel a little embarrassed. He shouted loudly and directed his anger on both arms. Suddenly, he smashed an officer and soldier beside him with a mace, including his helmet and head.
Hua Rong shot down all the officers and soldiers on the eaves, and at the same time came out to smooth things over, saying: "Now is not the time for tit-for-tat, a snake can't survive without a head. Now everyone needs to listen to the commander-in-chief. There is no doubt that the commander-in-chief and brother Gongming He is a brother who has been worshiped. If he is not confident, he will not retreat decisively."
This sentence came out, and half of the knots in everyone's hearts were solved, and everyone stopped shouting. Those officers and soldiers who thought that Liangshan had led an internal conflict and took the opportunity to break through Liangshan's defensive front and take back the east gate, at this time, together with the Liangshan generals They were fighting and fighting together, but they didn't gain any advantage.
At this time, Shi Jin was also awakened by Hua Rong's heartfelt words. He quickly thought about it in his heart. Although he sent Sun Li's troops to attack Ximen, he also sneaked into the city immediately, and the two sides were cut off. After receiving the news, let alone whether Song Jiang and Sun Li joined forces, or even whether the west gate was successfully defeated, this has become a question. Song Jiang's safety is important after all, and this city is second to none. At that time, Shi Jin I said retreat, but I just saw what I saw along the way. I knew that since the officers and soldiers dared to bring in all the tigers and wolves from Liangshan, this place was definitely not an empty city, but murderous intentions were hidden everywhere. Judging from the fire on the south gate, it was An excellent example. However, in this dark day and midnight, we do not have sufficient intelligence, and our troops are in pieces. Judging from the ancient saying "Know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in a hundred battles". If you rush into the army now, you may not be able to take advantage of it. Defeating the battle will inevitably result in a narrow escape from death. However, these worries are weighing heavily in my heart. After all, this is a battlefield, not a Chinese army camp. I can make it clear one by one that Li Kui is warlike and bloodthirsty, and the other few people He raised the slogan "Rescue Song Jiang". In this way, the priority of rescuing people was obviously tenable. If he quit at this point, although the military strength that Brother Chao Gai had worked so hard to manage would be preserved, if Song Jiang had any shortcomings, There will definitely be many people in that cottage who will target him. At that time, Brother Chao Gai will naturally come forward to protect him, but this will inevitably trigger some tit-for-tat, which will be detrimental to others, himself and the cottage.
Shi Jin thought very far, and although the considerations were complicated, in his mind, it was only a matter of a moment. As soon as he raised his stick and dropped his stick, Shi Jin made up his mind and shouted: " Since the brothers are in charge of the battle, I am very eager to save Gong Ming. There is no need to say more, and the battle is about to begin. However, there are many government traps in the city. It is not easy to cross like this. Follow me out of the city, go around the city and enter through the west gate. It will be less. If there are casualties, we can also unite our troops together and wait for the opportunity to seize the city."
After hearing this, Hua Rong felt that this idea was a good one and agreed very much. However, Li Kui started shouting at this time and shouted without looking back: "If you want to kill, then kill. Why did you take a detour to Xicheng? Now these bastards are listening. Yes, you go to the West City, they all go to the West City,"
Dai Zong also agreed with Li Kui's statement and said: "What Tieniu said is, just kill them. We will kill from the south gate. Apart from some cold arrows, there may not be any traps along the way. Don't be ambitious."
"We Liangshan have never been afraid, this is our way of fighting," Wang Aohu responded with a hint of irony.
Lin Chong had a good temper, but after hearing this guy's words, he not only rebelled against the commander-in-chief, but also slandered the Green Forest Army. This made Lin Chong feel a little angry, and he deliberately shot one of the officers and soldiers under Wang Aohu's stick first. Head.
The Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying saw this and knew Lin Chong was provoking him. However, he knew where this man was coming from and knew that he was not as capable as he was. Although he was angry at the moment, he did not dare to show it. He just vented his anger on those officers and soldiers.
Shi Jin didn't care about this. Although in his and Chao Gai's hearts, Liangshan and the Green Forest Army came from the same line, like brothers, but he gradually discovered from everyone's words that this was not the case. Previously Kui Er and Shi Qian In the camp, he showed a sense of superiority to others, so that those Liangshan minions who followed him down the mountain felt that they had joined the Green Forest Army. Not only did they feel extremely honored in private, but they also unknowingly felt that they had joined the Green Forest Army. The boundary with Song Jiang's battalion was clearly drawn. His words and deeds just now separated the Green Forest Army and the Liangshan Army into separate camps. When Song Jiang insisted on attacking Yuncheng County, Shi Jin only thought it was Gongming's brother who wanted one. Thinking about the face of returning to the village now, Shi Jin couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. In addition, he couldn't help but think of the overjoyed face of brother Chao Gai when he welcomed him up the mountain, and the sincere words at the reception banquet. The warm feeling when he came down the mountain to say goodbye... This couldn't help but make Shi Jin feel a little ashamed. He knew in his heart what kind of situation would happen if this situation continued, which was something he didn't want to see anyway.
Shi Jin didn't want to insist on his opinion anymore. He was afraid that his persistence would only increase the division between the two sides. So, he gritted his teeth and said with dignity: "With such morale, we should work together and kill brothers."
With this order, the generals who were leading the battle seemed to have won, and their morale became higher and higher. They no longer guarded a front to consolidate the east city gate, but all of them wielded their swords and shouted, "Kill along this avenue." In the past, along the distance of seventy or eighty strides, the number of oncoming officers and soldiers became more and more numerous. Although Li Kui was clearing the way in front of him, more and more officers and soldiers were rushing towards this side. Even though Shi Jin, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and others killed two or three generals, this group of officers and soldiers showed no intention of retreating. There must be some terrible reason hidden in it. Only then did everyone realize, but since Having reached this point of killing, there is no time left to say anything.
After fighting like this for half an hour, just when everyone was feeling a little trapped, the officers and soldiers suddenly fled in all directions, which surprised Qin Ming and others. Shi Jin knew something was wrong, and an ominous premonition came over him. However, Li Kui and others only thought that they had scared off the officers and soldiers with their powerful fighting skills. Just when everyone in Liangshan was about to continue rushing towards the east gate with all their strength, they suddenly flashed on the lonely street not far away. Many torches came out, and the torches illuminated a group of chariots and horses. Shi Jin took a quick look and saw that the officers and soldiers were harnessing two or three skinned horses into a group. Although they were similar to ordinary chariots, this chariot But it is not pulled behind. Instead, the shaft is connected to the horse's lasso, and the horse is held up in front. The carriage tent is also somewhat different from the ordinary one. There is no carriage, and there is a thick wooden board above the two wheels. , filled with sharp blades inserted backwards, and the frost-like luster of the blades became even more terrifying under the light of the torch.
Shi Jin felt bad and shouted to retreat. However, just as everyone looked at it and were stunned, they heard the tide of killing shouts from the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. "Come on," and for a moment, the sound of thousands of horses galloping was heard. There was a sound in the street, and with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, those chariot shafts covered with sharp blades had already rushed over.
Shi Jin quickly shouted to retreat, without hesitation, turned his horse's head and immediately commanded everyone to retreat. However, Li Kui and Wang Ying were not happy. It was not that they did not want to retreat, but that they could not swallow this breath. If they retreated like this, wouldn't all their previous efforts be wasted and they had just achieved something? His little achievement also became a resounding slap in the face, and it finally proved that Shi Jin was right. In this way, some of Liangshan's troops did not obey Shi Jin's command, and standing here, waiting to be killed was obviously not their stupid style. Li Kui reacted the fastest and quickly found a compromise. He took the lead in slashing open the shops facing the street with two axes, and ordered his troops to rush into the shops to avoid the charging cars before charging again.
The Liangshan minions who were leading the battle suddenly seemed to have won another battle, and they all followed suit. They cut open the shop in time and rushed into the dark house. However, if they were too late, they were stabbed to death by those rushing cars. , for a time, the three rows of charging cars were slashing wildly, Liangshan soldiers and horses were fighting a lot, the streets seemed to have been painted, a miserable blood stain...
