Yesterday Zou Yuan and Zou Run had quietly come to this cell to talk to everyone, and they will come to rob the prison today.
Yang Xiong and Deng Fei ate corn buns for a few days, they were already thin, but now they are like a hungry tiger in a cage, their eyes are shining fiercely.
Although Shi Qian had ordinary martial arts and was not good at fighting, after knowing that he was about to be rescued, he also looked in the direction of Zhu's house in the cage, guessing which houses the treasures of Zhu's family would be hidden in, and how many beautiful female relatives could help him. Trafficking?
There is a lot of killing inside and outside the village, the Zou brothers should also come, right?
Chapter 339 The Ambush of Zhujiazhuang
"Leader Li, there are antlers, barbed wire and horses blocking the way in front of you, the little ones can't get through!"
"Leader Li, it's bad, we're ambushing!"
"Give me the shield! Give me the shield! Mother!"
"I've been hit by an arrow, save my brother, don't squeeze me! Don't step on me! Oops~"
……
"Tiger-eyed tiger" Li Yun's ears were filled with the yelling and crying of the minions, which made him at a loss for a while.
When Li Yun entered Zhujiazhuang with [-] forward troops, he rushed not far in the alley and found that the road ahead was blocked, and there were horses, antlers and barbed wire piled on the ground at every intersection. , making it difficult for the little ones to move an inch.The unlucky one who rushed to the front was pushed and bumped by his companions behind him, and was stabbed to death on the horse and antlers.
In every alleyway behind Juma and Antlers, there were still many farmers from Zhujiazhuang holding long guns, and they stabbed the Liangshan robbers indiscriminately.On the courtyard walls on both sides, countless archers appeared, condescendingly shooting wantonly at the unprotected Liangshan bandits. Amidst the screams, more young people fell to the ground with arrows and died in Huangquan.
The [-] minions led by Li Yun encountered an ambush and were in a mess. Because of the narrow terrain, the minions pushed each other, and many of them were pushed to the ground and trampled to death.
How could Li Yun not know that today he fell into Zhujiazhuang's scheme and fell into a trap?He rode on the horse, and at the same time dialing the incoming arrows with a knife, he yelled at his subordinates, "Get out! Get out! Follow me to the gate tower!"
"Leader Li, there are also ambushes in the rear, the little ones can't stand it anymore!"
As soon as Li Yun turned his horse's head, he heard the young people in the rear team also screaming.This time, I can't advance or retreat, and I'm in a dead end!
"Sun Li! You pickled birds, how dare you betray my brother Liangshan!" Li Yun cursed Sun Li in despair.Just now when he saw Sun Li waving from a distance outside the gate, he rushed in desperately.Therefore, Li Yun, who is now in an ambush, believes that Sun Li betrayed Liang Shanbo and set up this trap together with the people from Zhujiazhuang.
"Wu that bird thief, are you looking for me, my lord?" Ximen Qing was wearing Sun Li's armor, riding on Sun Li's black horse, with a snowflake iron goose feather sword on his waist, and a willow bow in his hand. Appeared at an intersection, smiled and cursed at Li Yun.
Li Yun took a closer look, this man is not "Sick Yuchi" Sun Li, he is clearly the handsome general who shot his mount to death when he captured Deng Fei!Li Yun knew that Ximenqing was good at shooting arrows, Chixu trembled in fright, and wanted to leave impatiently.
The last time Ximenqing shot Li Yun's horse, he was merciful and spared his life to go back to Liangshan camp to praise Luan Tingyu's name for him. This time, this guy is useless, how could he spare his life again?Riding on a horse, Ximen Qing bent his bow and set an arrow, and put his right hand lightly. The arrow shot out quickly and hit Li Yun's vest, causing the "evil-eyed tiger" Li Yun to fall and fall off the horse.
The vanguard of the Liangshan Army led by Li Yun fell into heavy siege, and when almost the entire army was wiped out, the Chinese army led by Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others also rushed into the gate building and encountered Jiao Ting and Qiao Yun's ambush.
Arrows shot at the gate tower and the courtyard wall, and wood, rolling stones, gray bottles, bricks and tiles fell like raindrops, beating Song Jiang's Chinese soldiers on their backs, crying ghosts and howling wolves.Although there were many soldiers in Song Jiang's army, the brigade was still stuck in a group outside the suspension bridge. Only more than a thousand people followed Song Jiang and Wu Yong to enter Zhujiazhuang. territory.
"Brother Gongming, military advisor, I've been tricked! This Zhujiazhuang is heavily guarded and it's hard to take it down. Let's retreat quickly!" Jiang Jing said beside Song Jiang.Because there are young men of the Chinese army around them covering the leaders Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Jiang Jing with shields, so there is no danger of their lives for the time being.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong didn't know that today they were tricked by Zhujiazhuang, I'm afraid that Sun Li and others who came to be the internal responders are already in danger.It's just that Song Jiang vowed to take down Zhujiazhuang, otherwise he would never return to the mountain. Now that the army has entered the village, there is still a glimmer of hope, which makes him hesitating for a while. So the troops retreated.
The defeat in the battle of Zhujiazhuang greatly damaged Song Jiang's prestige, but it had little impact on Wu Yong. Therefore, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately made the safest decision, saving his life was the most important thing, and retreated immediately.
Wu Yong also advised Song Jiang to evacuate the dangerous place immediately, but Song Jiang had to listen and ordered the whole army to retreat.He knew that Wu Yong, the military adviser, brought troops to support him, and now he only listens to the words of Chao Gai, the master of the village, in the village.If he still insists on fighting Zhujiazhuang here, the military commander Wu Yong will definitely withdraw his troops alone and ignore him.
On the gate tower, Jiao Ting threw a big stone down, and saw Song Jiang and others turned their horses' heads, wanting to lead the troops to retreat.Jiao Ting spat and said with a smile: "The birds and thieves have come to the master, and if they don't stay in prison for a few days, they want to leave like this? The small door, put a thousand-jin gate, close the door and beat the dog!"
Zhujiazhuang was built like a small city, with not only a moat and a suspension bridge, but also a gate made of huge stones in the gate, which can be lowered in an emergency to seal the gate.At this time, Jiao Ting saw that Song Jiang, Wu Yong and other leaders were about to escape, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to put down the jack gate.
With the sound of "Garga", a huge stone slab was lowered from the groove in the door opening.In a famous city like Daming Mansion, the Qianjin gates are made of iron; after all, Zhujiazhuang is a small city, so huge stones are used as the gates.
"Not good! Those guys are opening the gate! Hurry up and hold it!" Wu Yong ran in front of Song Jiang and Jiang Jing, and when he saw the Qianjin gate falling from the sky, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Song Jiang and others have only brought more than a thousand troops into Zhujiazhuang. If they are locked inside the village and lose contact with the army outside the village, the entire army will definitely be wiped out. Song Jiang and others will never escape.If you can't withstand the thousand-jin gate, the big thing will be over. How can Wu Yong not be afraid?
Song Jiang also saw the closing gate, and exclaimed: "My life is over~"
Although there are many small gangsters in Liangshan under the Qianjin gate, who wouldn't be so frightened and dodge left and right, who would dare to listen to the words of the military advisor Wu Yong, and use their flesh and blood to withstand the Qianjin gate?
Just when Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others were in despair, suddenly a big man jumped over from the crowd, shouted loudly, and supported the falling boulder with both arms.
"It's Brother Tao Zongwang! Brother Gongming, let's go!" Jiang Jing recognized at a glance that this big man was his brother from Huangmenshan, "Nine-Tailed Turtle" Tao Zongwang.
The ancients believed that the tortoise was the most heavy-bearing object, so stone tortoises were often used to carry the stele when erecting steles.This Tao Zongwang got the nickname of "Nine-Tailed Turtle", which means that he is physically strong, his arms are powerful, and he is good at carrying heavy loads.
At this critical moment, Tao Zongwang, who usually stays hidden in the cottage, suddenly exploded with amazing strength.
3 Chapter Forty
Seeing the "nine-tailed turtle" Tao Zongwang supporting the Qianjin gate alone, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Jiang Jing got off their horses in a hurry, got out from Tao Zongwang under the cover of the trusted guard Xiaoluo, and rushed under the suspension bridge.
Arrows were still raining down on the top of the city gate, and the young men held up their shields to cover the bows and arrows, guarding Song Jiang and other leaders to squeeze through the suspension bridge, grabbed a few horses, and fled to the Liangshan camp.
There was a shrill scream from the gatehouse, and Song Jiang and others looked back, only to see that Tao Zongwang had put down the thousand-jin gate, grabbed two dough cards to cover himself, and rushed out onto the suspension bridge.The jack gate fell down, killing seven or eight unlucky little ones.
Although Tao Zongwang was born in a peasant family, as a bandit leader, he is not really stupid.After he saved Song Jiang's people by lifting a thousand jin gate, he has already made great achievements, so why would he sacrifice himself to save those little people in the village?
If you don't leave at this time, you will be shot with a few arrows, stabbed twice, or die under the Qianjin gate due to lack of strength, that would be really wronged!
"Nine-Tailed Turtle" Tao Zongwang left his little ones and ran away, and there were hundreds of Liangshan little ones in the village who were completely locked up in Zhujiazhuang, with nowhere to escape.
All the leaders are gone, so where do these abandoned little guys still have half a bit of fighting spirit?They dropped their weapons one after another and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Ximen Qing led his team to surround these remnant soldiers, strode up to the gate, and asked Jiao Ting, "How did you get away from Song Jiang? Brother Jiang, did they start?"
Jiao Ting replied: "Your official, I didn't expect that there was a powerful man next to Song Jiang. He resisted the thousand-jin gate and let Song Jiang go. You see, Brother Jiang has led his troops to kill and disperse the Liangshan army. The rear army is fighting against Song Jiang's central army. Zhu Long and Zhu Biao have also come back to counterattack according to the plan. Our army has won a big victory, and the Liangshan army has lost!"
Ximen Qing raised his eyes and saw that the Liangshan camp had been occupied by the people from Hujiazhuang. Jiang Menshen was leading the heavy infantry, and Hu Cheng was leading the cavalry from Hujiazhuang. .
Not far away, after Zhu Long and Zhu Biao led the pursuers into the dense forest and wiped them out, they also fought back, stirring up two bloody storms in the Liangshan Army.
Looking at the battlefield outside the village, the coalition forces of Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and Ximenbao are like a rainbow, fighting more and more bravely, but the morale of the Liangshan bandits is low and they are defeated.Song Jiang and other leaders couldn't restrain the team, so they had to flee with their cronies.
"Brother Jiao Ting, quickly pull up the Qianjin gate, let's catch that Tao Zongwang!" Ximen Qing said.
Anxious, he immediately ordered a group of strong dealers on the gate tower to lift the jack gate up with a winch.
At this time, Ximen Qing had already descended from the gate tower, jumped onto the black horse, left Brother Qiao Yun to guard and bind the prisoners, and led a team of cavalry to kill them first.
Liang Shanjun was defeated and lost after attacking Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang. In addition, the camp was seized. Song Jiang knew that he could not stay here for a long time. He left the army and ran away first.
Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, this is not the time to be brave.At this time, Song Jiang had already forgotten his vow not to take down Zhujiazhuang and never return to the mountain, and the most important thing was to run for his life.
Song Jiang knew that if he still pretended to fight Zhujiazhuang to the end at this time, the military adviser Wu Yong and other leaders would definitely abandon him unceremoniously.On the contrary, as long as I bring these leaders back to the village safely, who would dare to remember the poisonous oath I made in Zhujiazhuang?
"Stop leaving the Liangshan bandits!" Song Jiang and others escaped not far away, and behind them a group of cavalry pierced through the chaotic Liangshan Chinese Army, and chased after them with loud shouts.
Wu Yong looked back, then looked at his team, and shouted to Song Jiang: "Brother Gongming, the scarlet cloak you are wearing is too conspicuous, I'm afraid it will attract pursuers!"
The story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Ximen Qing has long been known to every household after being spread by storytellers.Song Jiang has also heard many stories of the Three Kingdoms in Liangshanbo.At this time, he heard Wu Yongzhi's words, and sighed: "Alas, do I, Song Gongming of Shandong, want to follow Cao Mengde's example of cutting off his beard and discarding his robe?"
