"Mr. Quan Zhan has a great plan. This time our army can attack Jeju City." Chao Gai looked at the southern horizon with piercing eyes, and the city of Jeju City five miles away could be seen as promised, as if he was already waiting for him, the king of Tota. settle in.
Dong Ping pulled out his two guns stuck in the sand, and said, "Military Master, what are you waiting for? I'll set off immediately and go to Jeju City!"
"Brother Dong, don't be impatient. Although there are only a few Yanzhou soldiers left in Jeju City, if they close the gates and resist, it will take a lot of time for our army to capture Jeju City. So Li Ying and Lei Henger Brother Chao Gai will also face bitter battles when he intercepts the reinforcements from the official army. Therefore, Brother Chao Gai has to act according to his own plan, dressing up as Qin Ming, the general manager of Qingzhou soldiers and horses, "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming, and then let the brothers pretend to be The reinforcements of the Qingzhou government army were led by brother Chao Gai to open the city gate and attack Jeju by surprise." Wu Yong talked eloquently, shaking his feather fan, as if Zhuge Kongming had come back to life.
Because Chao Gai is tall and has a beard on his face, he is somewhat similar to the legendary "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming, the general of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. plan.All the soldiers and horses from Qingzhou were taken away by Huang Xin, presumably the Yanzhou soldiers in the city couldn't tell whether Chao Gai was real or not.This Jeju city is mainly defended by the Qingzhou soldiers of the official army, and those Yanzhou soldiers have no reason to refuse Qin Ming to enter the city.
"Tuota Heavenly King" Chao Gai, according to Wu Yongzhi's strategist, wore a helmet and armor, and dressed up as Qin Ming, the general manager of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. He rode on a horse, held a mace, and carried two thousand Dressed up as an official soldier, after walking eastward for a while, he unfurled the red flag of leading the army and wrote: "Qin Tongzhi, the commander of soldiers and horses", and marched to the city of Jeju swaggeringly along the official road from Rencheng County to Jeju City.
"Two Spears General" Dong Ping and military advisor Wu Yong commanded the remaining [-] Liangshan Po bandits army, followed two miles behind Chao Gai's army, and approached Jeju City without flags and drums.
Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others mistakenly thought that there were only three to five thousand Yanzhou officers and soldiers in Jeju City, and they didn't know Chao Gai's true face, so they dared to pretend to be Qingzhou officers and soldiers to defraud the city.But how did they know that the current guard in Jeju City is not an unknown soldier from Yanzhou, but Luan Tingyu, the brother-in-law of the official Ximenqing and the number one general under him, the coach of Ximenbao in Yanggu County, "Iron Rod".
The reason why Huang Xin, "Towning Three Mountains" dared to use his strategy to bring his Qingzhou army south to Jinxiang County, was because Ximenqing had secretly dispatched troops to let Luan Tingyu and Qiao Yun take a team into Jeju quietly at midnight. City, took over the city defense of Jeju City from Huang Xin.Moreover, most of the official troops stationed in Dongping Prefecture were also transferred to Juye County, Jeju, and ambushed around Jeju City.
Huang Xin and Luan Tingyu are old friends. The two of them have cooperated with the bandits led by Song Jiang twice in Qingzhou.Mrs. Liu Gao of Qingfengzhai was also managed by Huang Xin, and Luan Tingyu hooked up with her.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Huang Xin has absolute trust in Luan Tingyu.After seeing Luan Tingyu, Huang Xin handed over the defense of Jeju City to him without hesitation.
After Huang Xin knew that Wu Yong used aggressive tactics against him, he hoped that he would lead the troops out of Jinxiang County lightly.In order to lure Chao Gai and Wu Yong into the bait, Huang Xin made a trick and went straight to Jinxiang County with his [-] Qingzhou army.
Ximenqing did not allow Huang Xin to participate in the battle under the city of Jeju.Ximenqing asks Luan Tingyu to bring a message to Huang Xin, suggesting that Huang Xin do the fake show and lead troops to raid Jinxiang County, and wipe out Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian's army who are hiding there and playing suspicious tactics.
The entire battle in Jeju, because Ximenqing received detailed information about Liangshan Army's plan from Song Wan in advance, became out of the control of Liangshan Po military commander Wu Yong.A net had already been stretched under the city of Jeju, waiting for Chao Gai's Liangshan army to enter the net.
Chao Gai didn't know that Jeju City was a trap, so he led two thousand troops to the outside of Jeju City with great fanfare.
The officers guarding the city saw a large army approaching from a distance, closed the city gate first, and invited Luan Tingyu and Qiao Yun to the upper gate of the city gate.
Luan Tingyu raised his eyes and saw that Qin Ming, the leading general in the army outside the city, was pretending, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, the bandits in Liangshan are really cunning! The weapons and armor of the big man look like Chief Qin. If it wasn't for me and Chief Qin It's a good brother from the past, who was almost cheated by that big guy."
Brother Qiao Yun looked around, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that man is the leader of the bandits in Liangshanpo, Chao Gai, the 'Tuota King'! That guy actually led the troops to earn the city himself."
Luan Tingyu nodded and said: "The last night battle outside the city of Dongping Prefecture, I chased and killed that guy for a while. Now I look carefully, and it really is the 'Tuota King' Chao Gai who came to visit my little Jeju City! Brother Qiao , you made false claims with him on this tower, let him enter the city, and I went down to the city to lead an ambush, and caught him by surprise."
Chapter 5: The Taste of the Meteor Hammer
"Soldiers in the city, listen up. I am Qin Ming, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and I have been ordered to reinforce Jeju City. Where is the general Huang Xin you are waiting for? Call him to welcome the commander into the city." After Chao Gai came outside the city, he said to Shouted to the officers and soldiers above the city gate.
"This general, we are soldiers and horses from Yanzhou. We don't know the general, so don't take it seriously by closing the city gates tightly. The soldiers and horses in Guizhou are in charge. General Huang led the troops out of the city early in the morning and went to Jinxiang County to suppress bandits. General, why not set up camp outside the city temporarily, and enter the city after General Huang returns." A voice came from the gate tower.
"Who is the one answering upstairs? This supervisor is the immediate superior of Huang Xin, the guard of the city. How dare you prevent me from entering the city? Now that Liangshan Po is rampant, this supervisor has received an imperial edict to come to Jeju to suppress the bandits. You don’t let the chief executive enter the city, which delays the military aircraft, can you afford it? If you don’t open the door, the chief executive will go into the city by himself, and then talk slowly with you! The imperial court spares you, the wolf in the hands of the chief! The tooth stick will not spare you!" Chao Gai yelled angrily at the city gate.
When Chao Gai saw that the Yanzhou army on the city gate was hesitant and did not dare to open the door for him, he was not guilty, and immediately showed the official authority of the military commander and the rascality of a veteran general in the army.
"Hahaha~ Manager Qin deserves to be called the Thunderbolt General, and he is as hot as fire! The next official is Zhao Ke, the fourth general in Yanzhou, who was ordered to assist Huang Dujian in defending Jeju. Because he didn't know the true face of Director Qin, he was so fierce! Probe one or two. Chief Qin calm down, I will open the door to the brothers in Qingzhou now. The duty of this official is, Chief Qin, don’t blame me!" Brother Qiao Yun saw that Luan Tingyu had led the army to ambush in the city, so he confessed his mistake to Chao Gai and demanded let him into the city.
"No wonder, no wonder! This manager is not the narrow-minded person." Chao Gai saw the officers and soldiers on the city put down the suspension bridge and was opening the city gate. door opening.
When Chao Gai's horse's hoof stepped onto the suspension bridge, he whispered to a few of his confidantes around him, "Stay here, and cut off the chains and slings of the suspension bridge after I enter the city to make trouble."
Those robbers carrying giant axes nodded, and quietly retreated to the side, letting the others follow Chao Gai into the city first.
"Bend the bow and set the arrow. When I give an order, all the arrows will be fired." Brother Qiao Yun also ordered the archers squatting in a row on the gate tower in a low voice.
"General Zhao, please come down to the city to meet me." When Chao Gai entered the city, he did not forget to yell at the city gate tower, tricking Brother Qiao Yun to go down to the city.He clenched the mace in his hand, and said in his heart that if you come down to meet him, the master will smash your head with one stick.
Brother Qiao Yun held a strong bow and carried two pots of arrows on his back, and said with a smile in the city: "President Qin, don't worry, the officer will be here soon."
At this moment, the gate of the city was already wide open, and when Chao Gai saw this, he immediately rushed into the city with his men.The Liangshan Po bandits followed Chao Gai on horseback and rushed into the city in a short time with 200 people.
At this moment, Chao Gai, the leader, realized that something was wrong.It was just after noon, why were there no pedestrians on the street?
"Fraud! Grab the city gate!" Chao Gai roared.
However, Chao Gai hadn't finished speaking when he heard a loud noise from the gate, accompanied by the screams of his subordinates.
Brother Qiao Yun had already seen the right moment and ordered the city guards to lower the thousand-jin gate.At this time, in the city gate, there is no perverted strongman like "Nine-Tailed Turtle" Tao Zongwang, who can support the falling jack gate.A few robbers who were entering the city were crushed into meatloaf together with their horses.
"Tuota King" Chao Gai also has supernatural power, maybe he can give it a try.It's a pity that others are already in the city, and it's too late to lift the Qianjin gate.
"Kill! Capture the thief leader Chao Gai alive!" Luan Tingyu took the lead and led the ambushing soldiers and horses to come out and surround the 200 people who brought Chao Gai into the city.
Although Chao Gai led the bandits were all brave and brave, but at this time, facing more than ten times the ambushes, and being surrounded by enemies, how could they resist?
The ambushes led by Luan Tingyu surrounded on three sides, stabbed randomly from behind the shields, and Qiao Yun's subordinates on the city tower fired their bows and crossbows at full force. In a short time, more than half of the two hundred robbers fell down.
Although the "Tuota Heavenly King" Chao Gai was wearing armor all over his body, he was shot with more than ten arrows on his back. Although it was not fatal, he was still in a terrible state of embarrassment.His horse had been stabbed to death by the spears of the ambush soldiers. At this time, he was standing on the street on foot, waving his mace, fighting bitterly without surrender.
Outside the city of Jeju, Chao Gai's remaining 1000 subordinates saw that the Qianjin gate was lowered on the city, knowing that there was a change, they rushed to rescue them.
These robbers are worthy of being the personal soldiers of Chao Gai, the master of the Dazhai in Liangshanbo, and they are extremely brave.The general was trapped, but they didn't rush to disperse. Instead, they waved big knives and huge axes. Some went to see the chains of the suspension bridge, and some went to smash the jack gate in the city gate, trying to rescue Chao Gai, the village owner.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall will not allow these robbers to break through the city calmly.Under Qiao Yun's command, the archers fired arrows at random, and officers and soldiers kept smashing down the gray bottle of stones, causing heavy casualties to the robbers downstairs of the city gate.
Smoke and dust billowed outside the city, and horseshoes burst out. Dong Ping, the "general with two guns" and Wu Yong, the "star of wisdom", saw that Chao Gai had tricked him into opening the city gate, and they also led their troops to kill them.
However, Dong Ping and Wu Yong were also dumbfounded when they saw that the city gate was blocked, and Chao Gai's [-] troops were cut into two sections, and the brigade was unable to enter the city.
"Brother Chao Gai is too impatient, why don't you wait until the brothers have entered the city before attacking!" Wu Yong sighed in bewilderment.
At this time, Chao Gai's confidant had cut off the cable chain of the suspension bridge at the risk of death, and shouted at Dong Ping and Wu Yong: "Military Master, the village owner is in the city, save the village owner!"
"Strong attack! Capture this Jeju City!" Wu Yong said to Dong Ping seeing that there was still a chance.
"Little ones, follow me!" Dong Ping commanded his [-] army horses, carrying siege equipment, and prepared to storm Jeju City.
At this time in Jeju City, "Tota King" Chao Gai could not wait for Wu Yong and Dong Ping's rescue.
When Chao Gai was waving a mace to dial the spears stabbed by the ambushes, a black shadow shot towards Chao Gai's head.Even though Chao Gai was wearing a heavy helmet and was physically strong, he couldn't resist the blow, and immediately fainted on the ground. He was dragged away by the ambush soldiers with hooks, stripped off his armor, and tied up in five ways.
The one that knocked Chao Gai unconscious was the meteor hammer that "Iron Rod" Luan Tingyu used to.Before Ximenqing left, he asked him to try his best to capture the thief leader Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others alive, and hand them over to Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, so Luan Tingyu did not kill Chao Gai.
After the main general Chao Gai was captured, the few remaining bandits in the city lost their morale and all knelt down and begged for mercy.
The battle inside the city gate was soon over.However, there were still sounds of smashing and smashing from the Qianjin gate, obviously the robbers were attacking.
After Luan Tingyu ordered his soldiers to close the city gate tightly, he went up to the gate tower and asked Brother Qiao Yun who was shooting and killing the robbers outside the city, "Have all the robbers come?"
Brother Qiao Yun replied: "I saw Dong Ping and Wu Yong commanding the army and horses outside the city to attack the city. The main force of the robbers must be under the city."
"Okay! Fire the trumpet to surround and annihilate the bandits outside the city!"
Chapter 581 Bloody Battle in Jeju City
"Little ones, there are only three or two thousand officers and soldiers in Jeju City, and the defense is weak. As long as I break through the city gate and enter the city, I can save Chao Tianwang and win Jeju City! You little ones, hit the door for me! "Dong Ping used to be the military commander of Dongping Prefecture. He was a serious officer of the imperial army and knew some siege techniques.He boosted the morale of his men before the battle, and commanded his men to launch a strong attack.
On the way there, Dong Ping's men had already cut down two big trees and dragged them to the city of Jeju as rams.At this time, under the gate of the city, under the cover of many robbers with shields, a group of strong men rushed to the gate carrying two rams, intending to use the rams to smash open the gate and gate of Jeju City.
