As it gets colder and colder, the 800-mile Liangshan River is moored, and boats and ships are rushing from Shijie Village. These 6,000 people and horses form two roads, heading towards Liangshan from the east and west.
The remaining cavalry troops were stationed along the route for protection and ready to provide support.
At the head of a warship stood a middle-aged man. This man was none other than Huang An, the regimental training envoy of General Yin of Jeju Prefecture.
This man is a robber catcher. He has a beard on his face. He is wearing light armor and has a solemn look on his face: "This Liangshan bandit grows like a plant. It was just a small village at first. How long did it take? It has grown so big that even He Tao said
Everyone was defeated."
Standing next to Huang An was one of his confidants, cupping his fists and saying: "Huang Tuanlian, He Tao is seeking death, splitting his troops to fight indiscriminately, and fleeing without fighting. It is not a crime of war!"
Huang An frowned: "This time of attention, Brother He Tao, they are all officials, and they dare to kill people from Liangshan! They are no longer bandits, but rebels. Since ancient times, if they dare to kill officials, that is
Want to rebel!"
"Rebellion?" The confidant, dressed in green, looked condensed when he heard this, "Master Fu Yin is very concerned about the young man's opinion this time, so he sent us to arrest Liang Shan."
"We are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Even if there are many people in Liangshan, they are just a mob and nothing to worry about." Huang An said with disdain, "That guy He Tao is as timid as a mouse. The so-called general is incompetent and tired.
The three armies will die. As for the money steward, he is Gao Taiwei's confidant and cannot be offended."
"That's right, we have more than 6,000 troops, and these Liangshan bandits will be scared to death when they see us fighting."
Huang An snorted coldly: "Thieves are thieves. No matter how crazy they are, they are still gangsters. They can only do things such as robbing homes and houses, which is not much of a skill. By the way, they will bring all the people who escaped last time with them, right?"
The man in green nodded and said: "Of course, after all, we don't know anything about the bandits on the mountain. We know those individuals and the leaders well, and it will be convenient to capture those people later."
"Hahaha! This is the best thing." Huang An laughed loudly, his eyes blazing, as if he had conquered Liangshan.
The two of them chatted for a while and drove the mighty boats. After a while, they saw the golden beach approaching, and Huang An and others showed excitement.
"Beat the drum, wave the flag, shout!" Huang An raised his hand and issued the order.
All of a sudden, war drums were beating and flags were flying.
"No! No! It's too quiet!"
Seeing that he was about to approach Liangshan, Huang An suddenly raised his hand and said: "Don't come forward, wait a moment, send a boat to the beach to take a look."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whining sound coming from the reeds in the distance.
Huang An looked shocked and said: "It's the bandits from Liangshan who are coming. Stabilize the boat and prepare to meet the enemy!"
The government boats pulled out of the queue and stopped rushing in. The water surface in the distance was suddenly swaying, and only three boats came out.
Those boats were not big, and there were only four or five people on each boat. Four people rowed the boat, and one person stood on the bow.
These three people all had red scarves tied around their necks, wore red embroidered jackets, and each held a weapon in their hands.
The people on the bows of these three boats are all dressed up like this. From a distance, they look like triplets.
Next to Huang An, someone immediately shouted: "I know, I know what those three people do. One is Ruan Xiaoer, the other is Ruan Xiaowu, and the other one is quite famous, named Ruan Xiaoqi.
"
Huang An's brows jumped, and he immediately yelled: "What a coward! It turns out that these three people dared to cut off He Tao's ears and ignore us and other officials. Come, let go of arrows, no matter life or death, who can?"
Shoot these three people to death and I will reward you heavily!"
As soon as he roared out, the three boats in Liangshan in the distance seemed to have ears facing the wind. Before the officers and soldiers could take action, the boats swayed and turned around, like three slippery loaches, running away in an instant.
There were thirty or forty boats in the front row of the officers and soldiers. They immediately bent their bows and set arrows, and fired a shower of arrows.
The Ruan brothers were all shrewd. They raised their shields with their backhands and shrank their bodies to block the long arrows.
"Chase! I want to see where they are going."
Huang An was eager to make a contribution, and unknowingly, he got into a narrow waterway, and the large ships that were originally side by side were pulled out into a long snake.
This way, it is only three to five miles of waterway. The three Ruan brothers are really like wings. They are slippery and cannot catch up no matter what.
Huang An suddenly felt something bad and subconsciously said: "The waterway is getting narrower and narrower! What's wrong? Where is the boat in front?"
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a cry from behind.
"What's going on?" The green-clothed henchman turned around and saw a broken boat in the distance, rushing towards it like it was dying.
"Huang Tuanlian, don't chase us. The boat at the front was capsized by them." A tall, thin man said with a sad face, "Many of us have died. Those thieves are very insidious up front."
Huang An was shocked and said hurriedly: "What's going on? How did you fall behind us?"
The master man looked frightened and said: "Huang Tuanlian, we were in front just now, you haven't arrived yet, and then they were killed by them. You go forward now, of course we are staying behind!"
"That's it!" Huang An understood instantly.
The man added: "Those people deliberately lured us into chasing and separated the team. We were the fastest runners. Unexpectedly, just as we caught up, several small boats suddenly emerged from the fjord waterway, and we followed them.
Who would have thought that more than a dozen boats would emerge from the reed swamps!
That group of people had been prepared for a long time, preparing lime, rockets, and chains to pull on the water, so that we would have nowhere to hide."
"You actually escaped back! It's really not easy."
"Those people pulled the horses ashore. I was the last to arrive, but the boats were nowhere to be seen, and the horses were gone. I only saw Yi's body and found a small broken boat, and I escaped with my life."
While he was talking, suddenly another boat came, shouting urgently: "It's not a big deal. Our cavalry army in Shijie Village was attacked by a sneak attack. Seven to eight hundred of them died and were injured."
The road has been blocked!"
"How could this happen?" Huang An was now panicked, "Our cavalry army has nearly a thousand people, who can deal with them?"
"I don't know, but I've seen it from a distance. There are corpses everywhere, but the horses are all missing. They must have been robbed by the Liangshan bandits."
"Assholes! These despicable and shameless thieves don't dare to confront each other head-on, so they only resort to such low-grade means."
The confidant in green hurriedly said: "Huang Tuanlian, why don't we retreat first and then make plans?"
"He Tao harmed me. This Liangshan bandit is not an ordinary bandit!" Huang An finally realized that something was wrong. He was still thinking about chasing, and immediately shouted, "Send the order! Retreat quickly!"
