After listening to what the generals said, Tong Guan felt that it was a rare opportunity. If the Green Forest Army, which could be attacked from both sides, was defeated, then the Song Dynasty would have a chance to come back. At that time, Tong Guan was not only capable of saving the country
Tong Guan immediately asked Suo Chao to take charge of the city's defense, and ordered Li Cheng and other generals in the city to each lead an army and horse to pursue and kill him from the east and west. The Green Forest Army must be defeated
Killed and defeated.
Just when Li Cheng was planning to go out of the city to take advantage of this opportunity, he rushed out with 50,000 soldiers and horses from the city. Just five or six miles out of the city, he heard the sound of artillery behind him. Li Cheng and other generals were deeply surprised.
, when he hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around to look at each other, he saw roaring explosions from behind. The momentum was as powerful as a mountain falling apart. Wherever the cannonball landed, the land was blown apart, smoke and dust flew, and soldiers and horses nearby were
They were knocked down by the explosion. Just when Li Cheng and others were dumbfounded, they could only hear war drums beating wildly on both sides in front of them, and shouts of killing soaring into the sky.
Li Cheng and other generals were frightened when they heard this, and were even more unprepared for a moment. Amidst the continuous gunfire, the officers and soldiers looked back and saw Liu Quantian coming out from the left, and Lin Chong, a leopard-headed man coming out from the right, each drawing 15,000 yuan.
Thousands of soldiers and horses came rushing from both sides. Li Cheng and other generals screamed, knowing that they had been tricked. They immediately turned their horses and wanted to return to the army quickly, but the rumbling cannons behind them made people even more nervous.
Fearful. Li Cheng and other generals hesitated and did not know where to go. At this time, the "Devil King" Fan Ruilai came out. Following him were "Eight-Armed Nezha" Xiang Chong and "Flying Great Sage" Li Gun, with a
The troops and horses rolled towards the officers and soldiers one after another. The soldiers and horses on both sides fought together, and Li Cheng risked his life to fight for a while. Lin Chong faced the partial generals and stabbed them down with seven or eight moves. The officers and soldiers around him were howling like ghosts and wolves as they were killed.
, Lin Chong killed as if he was in an uninhabited land, leading his soldiers and horses to run rampant in the officer and soldier camp. Liu Quantian, who was coming over there, chopped down a general, and bumped into Li Cheng head-on. Liu Quantian knew everything about eighteen
As for the sword in Li Cheng's hand, there was nothing he could do to Liu Quantian, even in such a chaotic situation. Liu Quantian held a sword in his hand and suppressed him all the way.
, if it weren’t for the help of two generals nearby, I’m afraid my life would be at stake here.
Li Cheng called on his men to resist Liu Quantian, and he panicked and led his followers to fight and retreat towards the rear where the battle was raging. When they arrived at the edge of the city, they were so embarrassed that they couldn't even find their helmets. The officers and soldiers' clothes were in pieces, and even more
They all looked dejected and retreated into the city. Only 50,000 soldiers and horses left, but only about 20,000 came back. Tong Guan was so angry that he jumped up and ordered the door to be closed, and he could not come out.
At this time, Shi Jin led his army to withdraw in batches towards Zhongmou City. Just when they entered the junction area, they encountered an ambush from Ma Xuanzan of Chou Commandery in the mountains they had to pass through.
Ma Xuanzan, the Chou Commandery, saw that the former army leader was carrying Shi Jin's flag, and he thought Shi Jin was inside. He became anxious and pushed down the rolling rocks on the mountain before letting the front team pass, sealing the road.
As soon as the command flag was displayed, the officers and soldiers lying in ambush on both sides were asked to fire arrows together. I wanted to kill Shi Jin here with random arrows, but who would have thought that the front team was just under the banner of Shi Jin, and the real leader was Tie Jin.
Their names were Zi Lehe and Zou Yuan, Zou Run's two uncles and nephews. Lehe had always been cautious, and now he was somewhat suspicious when he saw that he was walking close to the mountain. Sure enough, he saw those rolling stones rolling down with a roar, and random arrows shot from both sides like heavy rain.
, Lehe quickly led everyone to retreat. Seeing that the morale of the Green Forest Army was in chaos, Ma Xuanzan of Chou County was afraid that Shi Jin would take advantage of the chaos and ran away, so he made a big move to surround and kill Shi Jin here. General Li Cheng waved his flag, and there was a rumble on the mountain.
As the war drums were beaten, the officers and soldiers who were ambushing in the withered grass forest behind the mountain corner suddenly came out with their swords and blocked the retreat of Le He and others.
Zou Yuan and Zou Run led their men to kill the generals all the way and broke out desperately. The two generals who came out with the officers and soldiers looked straight at the direction of the Green Forest Army's commander's flag. The commander's flag was heading east. They
So they all went to the east to kill, and the commander's flag went to the west, and they all went to the west. Li Cheng could see clearly from the mountainside, but he was also very doubtful in his heart. Why did the Green Forest Army only have this few men? Could it be that they were retreating just before they retreated?
On this occasion, the city sent troops to pursue him? No, no, definitely not... Li Cheng was a little flustered, and regretted that he had not calmed down at that time. But just when he was worried, there was a burst of galloping horse hooves in the distance.
The sound came with great force. Li Cheng looked over there. Under the cover of the mountain forest, he saw the cavalry of the Green Forest Army rushing towards him not far away. When Li Cheng saw this, he slapped his thigh and shouted.
No, I quickly asked the archers to get ready.
The cavalry that came was Luan Tingyu and the three heroes of the Zhu family, commanding 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush towards them. The galloping horses' hooves quickly smashed the officers and soldiers into pieces. Under the fighting of Luan Tingyu and other generals, they were even more defeated.
, not long after, he joined forces with Le He and others who were trapped in it. At this time, there was a surge of arrows shooting down from the mountain. Luan Tingyu saw that the road was blocked and could not rush through, so he decisively covered Le He and others to retreat.
.
When Shi Jin's generals came up in batches one after another, Luan Tingyu reported the military situation, gathered his troops and horses, and set up a stronghold nearby. On the one hand, he secretly sent people from a remote road to Zhongmou City to report the news, and on the other hand, he sent out scouting horses to find out where the officers and soldiers were on the mountain.
Ambush situation.
At this time, Zhang Heng, the Chuanhuo'er who was stationed in Zhongmou City, and his brother Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun discussed together: "We two brothers have not made any great achievements since we joined the Green Forest Army. Now Pudong Dadao Pass wins the tune.
The army is coming to attack our city, why don't we rob his camp first, capture Guan Sheng, and achieve this great feat, it will be easier for all the brothers to show off."
Zhang Shundao: "Brother, normally we only care about the navy. How can we compete with that Guan Sheng? If we fail, there will be no rescue. It will be in vain and make people laugh."
Zhang Heng said: "If you are so careful, how can you achieve great results in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? If you don't go, I will go tonight!" Zhang Shun refused to listen. That night, Zhang Heng ordered more than a thousand people, all covered with soft armor, holding weapons in their hands.
With long spears and polygon leaf knives each, they quietly walked out of the south gate under the dim light of the moon and the silence of the cold dew, and walked towards the camp where Guan Sheng was. At this time, it was about the second watch, but they said that Guan Sheng was sitting in the central army tent.
I lit a lamp and read a book inside. Someone from the Ambulu Primary School quietly came to report: "There are soldiers and horses coming out of Zhongmou City. There are about a thousand people. Everyone is armed with a long gun. They went to ambush on both sides of the reeds. I don't know what they mean, so I came here to report."
After Guan Sheng heard this, he sneered slightly. He looked back at the general and said a few words in a low voice. The man nodded knowingly and left with a smile.
At this moment, Zhang Heng led more than a thousand people, sneaking from the reeds to the edge of the stronghold, pulling out the antlers of the deer, and ran towards the central army, hoping to carry out a beheading operation to directly attack Huanglong. Seeing the bright lights in the tent,
Guan Sheng twirled his mustache and sat reading a book. Zhang Heng was secretly happy. He held a spear in his hand and wanted to enter the Chinese army's tent. Before Zhang Heng could make a move, he only heard a clear gong sound in the camp, and people from all directions gathered.
The army rose up shouting for killing, like a mountain collapsing, the sky falling and the river turning. Zhang Heng was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Knowing that he had been tricked, he simply fought to the death and defeated the enemy. He picked up a spear and went to kill the Chinese army in the tent. But at this time, there were ambushes everywhere.
Chaos broke out, blocking the way in front, and being surrounded on all sides. Zhang Heng and the more than a thousand people tried their best to break through, and they fought to the end without even a single person escaping. They were all tied up and pushed to the tent.
Guan Sheng looked at it and said with a smile: "How dare an unprovoked thief come to rob the camp!" Without further ado, he ordered everyone to lock Zhang Heng in the prison car and imprison the others until Shi Jin was captured alive.
They were sent to the capital together.
Not to mention that before Guan Sheng attacked the city, he captured a leader of the Green Forest Army alive at night, and he was very happy. At this time, in Zhongmou City, Tong Wei and Tong Meng were so powerful that Zhang Shun summoned them all and came down from the top of the city to the Juyi Hall.
The panicked Zhang Shun quickly asked: "What happened? I saw my brother was unconscious."
Zhang Shun said impatiently: "Because my eldest brother Zhang Heng did not listen to his younger brother's advice, he went to rob Guan Shengying Village and did not return for a long time. He seemed to have been captured!"
Tong Wei woke up after hearing the cry and said: "My brothers live and die together, and save each other in good and bad times! You are his biological brother, but how can you teach him to go alone and be caught? You don't save him, but go to the city to guard him.
My two brothers will go and save him!"
Zhang Shun said: "It's not that I don't want to save him, nor am I greedy for life or afraid of death. It's just that the commander-in-chief hasn't given the order yet, so I dare not move lightly."
Tong Wei said: "If you had waited for the general to come, your brother would have been chopped into pieces by him!"
Tong Meng nodded and said: "That's right!" Zhang Shun couldn't convince him, so he had to rely on them. Zhang Shun took the primary school to the top of the city to garrison, and the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng mobilized more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under their command at the fourth watch that night.
They came to Guanshengzhai to kill them all. The small army outside Guanshengzhai saw the green forest like ants outside Zhongmu City coming towards them, and hurriedly reported to the commander.
Guan Sheng smiled and said: "I guess some people are coming too! Well, let them fight!" Looking back at the soldiers, he said a few words in a low voice, leaving aside the words for the moment when the soldiers went down to deliver orders.
But it was said that brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng led everyone to the stronghold, and everyone shouted for kill. They wanted to frighten the officers and soldiers in the camp, but they didn't want to just attack the stronghold and rush a few steps further in.
The foot gradually slowed down. I saw bright lights in the village, but there was no one. The two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng were shocked, turned around and left. Only a gong was heard in front of the tent, and on the left and right, cavalry and infantry troops
, divided into several groups, overlapping and overlapping, the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng rushed out with their elite soldiers, but they did not want to be surrounded by soldiers and horses from all sides. When they cut down two rows of officers and soldiers, they saw only four sides.
The two brothers were dragged down and captured alive after a short time.
Guan Sheng also tied up the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng and threw them into the prison car. The officers and soldiers saw that the three generals were alive overnight, and the whole army couldn't help but cheer.
