On the day of the winter solstice, the heavy snow fell for a whole day before it stopped. It took three days for the snow on the ground to melt, but after melting, the dirt road became muddy and became increasingly difficult to walk.
A few days later, Chao Yong saw that the road was half frozen and half dry and ready for marching. During the meal, he told Chao Gai about the attack on Zengtou City.
When Chao Gai heard that Chao Yong was going to lead the troops to attack Zengtou City in person, he immediately shook his head and said, "Your injury has not healed yet, so I'd better lead the troops myself."
Chao Yong said with a smile: "Although I still can't draw the divine arm bow, my ordinary strong bow is not a problem. It is enough to go into battle and kill the enemy. What's more, there is no need for me to take action if Officer Lu is out to capture Shi Wengong."
Chao Gai was still worried about Chao Yong, and shook his head and said: "You are not in good health, and I am afraid that you will be injured again after traveling a long distance. It is better to stay in the mountains and rest in peace."
Both He and Hu Sanniang also advised Chao Yong not to lead the army.
But Chao Yong was afraid that Chao Gai would lead his troops to attack Zengtou City but still not be able to escape the arrow. Seeing that everyone disagreed, he had to pretend to be the Nine Heavens Xuannv again and said: "The Xuannv Empress entrusted me with a dream. This Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi are
My right-hand man, if I don't go, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."
The three people immediately stopped saying anything to stop him, and just told Chao Yong to be careful.
The next day, Chao Gai summoned the leaders to discuss the attack on Zengtou City.
Wu Yong saw that Lu Junyi had no equal in the world with his gun and stick, and his confidence was greatly increased. He wanted to lead the army to avenge his humiliation, but Chao Gai did not give him a chance. He said at the beginning that Chao Yong would lead the army.
Lu Junyi also learned from Lin Chong that Liangshan invited him to join the army that day to deal with Shi Wengong of Zengtou City. He stood up and said: "Lu was rescued by Brother Meng Yong and others, but failed to do anything. Now Brother Yong leads the army and Lu
I am willing to risk my life and move forward."
Chao Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, there are still many ways to rely on Yuan Lu in this battle."
Li Kui also jumped up immediately and said: "I took an arrow last time, and I am going to take revenge this time."
When Lu Zhishen and other leaders who were burned heard this, they immediately shouted for revenge.
Chao Yong saw that everyone's fighting spirit was high, so he still ordered the thirty leaders from the previous group, Lin Chong, the leopard leader, Dong Ping, the double spear general, Luan Tingyu, the iron rod, Xu Ning, the golden spear general, Li Ying, the flying eagle, and Qin Ming, the thunderbolt fire general.

Thirty people including Mu Hong, skyscraper golden-winged Ou Peng, iron flute fairy Ma Lin, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng, plus the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, the prodigal son Yan Qing, the desperate Saburo Shi Xiu, the magical Taibao Dai Zong, and the drum fleas
Five people moved there.
The next day, Chao Yong led thirty-five leaders and five thousand soldiers and horses towards Zengtou City.
After Zengtou City defeated the Liangshan soldiers and horses, they also set up spies in the south to prevent the Liangshan soldiers and horses from retaliating.
As soon as the Liangshan army entered the territory of Cangzhou, the spies reported to Zengtou City.
After hearing this, Elder Zeng hurriedly called Shi Wengong and Lao Wu Zeng Sheng, who were left behind, to discuss countermeasures.
Zeng Sheng had recovered from his leg injury. When he heard that the Liangshan thieves were coming to attack, he immediately shouted: "The Liangshan thieves killed my two brothers earlier, and this time they just wanted to take revenge. My teacher and I led the troops out to kill him.
"
When Elder Zeng heard this, he immediately said: "Last time, five of your brothers were here, and two of them were killed. How could you two stand against the thieves?"
Zeng Sheng said, "I was injured by the thieves because I underestimated the enemy. What's more, the teacher is brave enough. Last time, he rode into the camp alone. Although he didn't kill the leader of the thieves, he still scared them away. Now the assistant teacher and
Big brother and third brother are not in the stronghold. If the thieves are allowed to attack the city, I am afraid that big brother and the others will be blocked outside. How about I and the teacher kill them for a while? Even if we cannot kill them, we can still block them."
Shi Wengong also nodded and said: "The Liangshan thieves returned from defeat in the previous battle. They must have countermeasures when they come this time. Don't underestimate the enemy. The Grand Duke will also quickly send people to recall the assistant teachers and others to guard them. What Wu Lang said is also reasonable. If we let
The thieves marched straight in, and I was afraid that the assistant teachers and the others would be blocked outside. Otherwise, Wu Lang and I would lead a thousand soldiers and horses to harass the thieves along the way and block the thieves' advance. While the Taigong sent people to recall the three assistant teachers, he also dug more outside the stronghold.
Trap the trap, and take measures to make sure everything is safe."
Elder Zeng thought for a while and felt that if he relied solely on the two thousand soldiers and horses in Zengtou City to hold on, he would not have enough troops, so he said: "Since the teacher also said this, there should be no mistake. This time, the teacher will be the main one.
Children must obey the teacher's instructions in everything and don't be reckless."
Zeng Sheng also admired Shi Wengong's martial arts skills and was not dissatisfied with Elder Zeng's decision.
The two men immediately ordered a thousand men and came to meet the Liangshan army.
Lu Junyi rode at the front of the team. Although the weather was cold, Lu Junyi was full of fighting spirit.
After the army set off for the expedition, Chao Yong made him the vanguard general, commanding two thousand soldiers and horses to go ahead.
The martial arts in Lu Junyi's heart was instantly activated, and he also liked the feeling of commanding thousands of troops.
Yan Qing followed Lu Junyi on horseback. This romantic man had been marching for many days and had gained some heroic spirit as a soldier.
When the army was slowly moving forward, they saw a probing horse flying from the front and shouted: "Report, there are soldiers and horses from Zengtou City ahead."
Although Lu Junyi was leading an army for the first time, he was the one who almost won the first prize at that time. He was not in a hurry to give orders, but asked: "How many soldiers are there in Zengtou City? Who is leading the army?"
"About a thousand people, under the banner of Shi Wengong and Zeng Sheng."
Lu Junyi didn't expect that Shi Wengong would actually come to his door more than thirty miles away from Zengtou City. He raised his arm to stop the whole army. He turned around and saw that the terrain on the side of the road was flat, which was suitable for a decisive battle. He immediately moved his troops to one side and formed a formation to wait.
.
When Shi Wengong led his troops and rushed forward, he saw that Liangshan's troops and horses were already in full formation, so he also reined in his troops and horses.
Zeng Sheng couldn't wait to ride out of the battle and shouted: "The Liangshan grass bandits killed two of my brothers last time, but they dare to come here today to seek death. Those who are not afraid of death can just come out."
Zhang Qing's previous expedition to Zengtou City failed to gain any merit, but this time he did not delay. When he saw Zeng Sheng provoking a fight, he rode out.
When Zeng Sheng saw Zhang Qing coming out of the formation, he immediately came to greet him with his sword drawn.
Zhang Qing had already hidden a flying stone in his hand. When he looked at Zeng Sheng's approach, he raised his arm and a stone hit Zeng Sheng between his eyebrows.
Zeng Sheng didn't expect that Zhang Qing would release flying rocks before they could fight. It was too late to dodge, so he quickly used the steel knife in his hand to block it.
"when"
Flying stones hit the blade, and sparks shot out.
Zeng Sheng was startled when he heard the crisp sound of the sword in front of him. He was still in shock, and then he saw Zhang Qing stabbing him with a spear, and another steel knife hurriedly slashed away at the head of Zhang Qing's spear.
"Keng"
After all, Zeng Sheng was a little slow in blocking the flying stone. Although he was slashing at the tip of Zhang Qing's spear, Zhang Qing's spear had already stabbed in front of him. He cut it down with his knife, and the tip of the spear hit his leg again.
Zhang Qing raised his spear, and the tip of the spear picked up Zeng Sheng's armor, piercing Zeng Sheng's thigh. He then lifted Zeng Sheng off the horse.
Shi Wengong did not expect that Zeng Sheng's legs were injured in two battles with the Liangshan leader.
Seeing that Zeng Sheng fell off his horse, he quickly hit the horse to rescue him.
Seeing Zeng Sheng fall from his horse, Liangshan's special hook-catchers rushed out of the formation and launched more than a dozen hook-knuckles towards Zeng Sheng.
Zeng Sheng was stabbed in the leg by Zhang Qing and was thrown off his horse. He almost fainted from the pain. Before he could figure out the situation, he was caught by more than a dozen scratching hooks. He felt that the whole world began to go backwards.
I was dizzy for a moment and could only shout: "Teacher, help me."
Seeing Zeng Sheng being dragged into the Liangshan formation, Shi Wengong pinched the horse's belly again and rushed towards Zeng Sheng, who was retreating rapidly.
Zhang Qing had not played against Shi Wengong before, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Shi Wengong. When he saw Shi Wengong coming, he took another stone in his hand.
Looking at where Shi Wengong was coming, he raised his hand and hit the door in front of Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong had seen Zhang Qing's method of flying stones before, so how could he not be on guard? When he raised his hand, he just turned his head and dodged it. At the same time, Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand stabbed Zhang Qing fiercely.
Zhang Qing didn't expect that even after releasing the flying rocks, he didn't get the first chance, so he quickly danced his spear to cover it.
When the weapons met, Zhang Qing felt a huge force pouring back down the gun body, causing his whole body to shake a few times.
Shi Wengong forced Zhang Qing away, but did not look back and chased Zeng Sheng straight away.
Zeng Sheng was dragged for a while, and he no longer panicked. He used his two knives to cut off the rope behind the hook.
When Lu Junyi saw Shi Wengong rushing towards him, he immediately rode up to meet him.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng also took the opportunity to attack Zeng Sheng.
Shi Wengong thought he could force Lu Junyi away with one move, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lu Junyi.
During this delay, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng had captured the injured Zeng Sheng.
Shi Wengong saw that Lu Junyi was nine feet tall and had a majestic appearance. He did not look like an ordinary grass bandit. He couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
Lu Junyi pointed his spear at himself to recognize the military flag, and said: "Don't you see me recognize the military flag? This is Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn. If you know the situation, you should dismount and be bound earlier to avoid being humiliated."
Shi Wengong squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Junyi and said, "Could it be Lu Junyi who fought all over Tokyo in his early years and was known as the unparalleled stick in the world?"
Lu Junyi touched his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Now that I know the reputation of a certain family, I don't want to get off my horse and be bound."
Shi Wengong also aspired to participate in martial arts examinations in his early years, but after hearing about Lu Junyi's story, he wanted to bribe Gao Qiu but had no money to give, so he gave up the idea of martial arts examinations and wandered around as a teacher to make money. Later, he was sold to Zeng Tou
He was hired with a lot of money.
When Shi Wengong learned that the person in front of him was Lu Junyi, who was making trouble in Tokyo back then, he didn't show any fear. Instead, his fighting spirit was high. He shouted: "I have never met an opponent since I left the army. Today I will fight. Let's see."
Who is the unparalleled one in the world?"
After saying that, he hit the horse and went straight to Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi learned from Lin Chong that Shi Wengong's martial arts was slightly better than him, so he did not dare to be careless and use all he had learned in his life to fight Shi Wengong.
The two fought for more than fifty rounds before Lu Junyi gained the upper hand.
Lu Junyi has been practicing hard behind closed doors for these years, and it is rare to encounter a well-matched opponent. However, the more he fights, the more excited he becomes. He attacks Shi Wengong with the spear in his hand like a move. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel.
