Chapter 369 Who disrupted whose plan?
The army dressed up in this way should be very in line with the taste of the Song people. In fact, the Song people's pursuit of elegance is deeply rooted in the bones. They seem to be a group of "successors of dragons". Like the legendary giant dragons, they have never resisted the attraction exuded by beautiful things. They like all beautiful and elegant things, and they also like to make everything beautiful and elegant.
However, it is said that during the reign of Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang, the Mingguang armor of the Shence Army was once coated with a layer of gold. This was the only army in Chinese history wearing golden armor, but the outcome of this army was very tragic: a group of poor troops holding hoes saw the shaking gold nuggets shaking in front of them, and there was no need for the superior to mobilize them. They immediately carried the hoe and rushed forward one after another, stripping the golden armor troops to pieces...
Given the tragic ending of this army, the generals immediately felt a chill of spine after seeing the entourage outfits worn by the generals when they saw it. Many generals unconsciously moved a few steps to get further away from this beautiful army. Some generals felt that the weapons in their hands were too conspicuous, so they quickly inserted the sword into the sheath, rolled it with a cloth, and looked around to find a dead branch instead... If it really doesn't work, the roots of the tea tree can be made of - anyway, they should try to make themselves ordinary and shabby.
When the team re-opened, there was no need to urge them. Several scouts had already run far away. They climbed up the surrounding ridges and insisted on looking at the team walking in the valley on the ridges, and refused to get close to half a step.
This terrified look made Shi Tong look at his soldiers repeatedly. He felt that he was not too much. Isn’t the plate armor the same? In order to prevent the iron sheets from rusting, the legendary Milan silver armor also specially plated a layer of silver on the iron sheets, or polished the iron sheets as silver as a mirror. His team did not plate anything on the armor, but to fit the hues of the human body model, they cast some patterns, but because it was the first time to use it, it looked a little new... not too much.
Just as he was thinking, a general whistled loudly on the hillside, and then the general who whistled took out the bow and arrow and started shooting in an unknown direction. His companions took off the crossbow to cover. The four of them fought and retreated, as if they had encountered a strong enemy.
Shi Chuan looked around, pointed to the opposite hillside, ordered the children to seize the advantageous terrain, and he himself stopped in place and asked the general beside him: "What's on the slope?"
The Thunder and Fire soldiers immediately moved, and several Indian servants drove their carriages to the hillside, intending to avoid the battle. The development of Baihu Mountain in this era was not perfect. There were a lot of weeds and small trees growing on the slopes of the two mountains. The carriages were very difficult to move. Seeing this, several Thunder and Fire soldiers jumped over and pulled them, pushing the carriages to the mountain. When they passed, they had to let the horse move a few steps to free up the road.
At this time, the general on the opposite ridge had retreated to the top of the mountain. The leader of the scout led everyone to detour. They walked around the trees and small pits on the hillside and ran straight towards here. The general who was asked by Shi Chuan just now saw that the scout had already been withdrawn, and he pointed at the opposite ridge with a horse whip and said, "I used to catch thieves in the mountains in my early years. I remember that there was a small village on the slope. The village was not big, with thirty or fifty families and the owner of the house, the village was named Li, so that village was called Lijiaao."
As soon as he finished speaking, a forehead appeared on the opposite hillside. Then, a strong man led two or three followers to urge his horse to go up the top of the slope. The man had a turmeric face, but his eyes were big and his eyes were sharp.
He was wearing leather armor and not wearing a helmet. He held a small round shield the size of a pot lid in his left hand and an iron whip in his right hand. There were several brand new arrow rods on the small round shield. This man's entourage was carrying a few bows, but there were no arrows on the bow. It seemed that the group of people had just made a gesture of preparing to attack, and let the scouts on the top of the slope retreat while shooting arrows.
Shi Chuan shook his head slightly: "It's actually a ill Yuchi Sunli. He is indeed a very famous man. He only brought two or three followers to let the four generals retreat from the ridge - they haven't made a counterattack yet."
The general next to him whispered: "It is said that among the twelve commanders of Liangshanpo, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi ranked first in martial arts, the jade Qilin Li Jinyi ranked second, and the Sun Li ranked third."
What this general wanted to explain is that the sick Yuchi Sunli was a huge figure in Liangshanpo. If such a person appeared, no wonder the four generals retreated without fighting.
At this time, several scouts ran down panting, and the general led by the leader bowed and reported: "Chengxinlang, there are many people hiding in Lijiaao - probably the team of Liangshan bandits."
Shi Chuan did not answer the general. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Li. Sun Li on the opposite side was also looking at the team. At this time, the generals scattered around began to gather towards Shi Chuan, but when they returned, they all bypassed the hillside where Sun Li was.
Sun Li was not wearing a helmet, and his hair was tied together randomly. When he first walked up to the top of the mountain, he seemed to be shocked by the luxury presented by the team down the slope. A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and glanced across a silver-shiny breastplate. At this time, the Thunder Fire soldiers had already sent a team of five people, relying on the carriage to send a hollow square array to guard four directions, and one of the musketeers had climbed up the opposite hillside and looked for cover on the top of the slope to guard the rear of the team.
At the same time, the twenty generals scattered around were quickly gathering towards the bottom of the valley, and the generals were also riding horses, but the horses were of varying quality. Some were very short and did not run fast, as if they were originally mares pulling carts. There were not many real war horses in the entire team, only one tall man was riding an equally tall horse.
Seeing this war horse, Sun Li suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes showed unconcealed greed. He was the commander of the horse army, and the war horse under his crotch was also chosen by many choices. Usually in Liangshanpo, this horse can be considered a steep horse, but compared with the other party's war horse, it was simply a donkey.
The strong man riding on the horse did not have a crown armor. He was wearing leather armor that was almost the same as Sun Li... Well, a leather jacket, casually grabbed a long spear with a thin pen tube on his hand, and there was a lot of mud on the head of the spear. Judging from the use situation, the gun did not seem to be used as a weapon in the other party's hands, it was more like a pathfinder.
Sun Li stared at the other party's war horse again. The war horse was maroon red and had a slightly shiny skin color - this was an Arabian horse, which was well taken care of by Indian servants. Due to frequent scrubbing, the skin looked oily and combed well.
This horse is half a horse's neck higher than the horse's neck under Sun Li's crotch. Its bones are thick and well-proportioned. It is now standing at the bottom of the valley. The horse seems to be unhurried and leisurely digging the soil on the ground with its horse's hooves. From time to time, it raises its face and sniffs when it rushes to the horse's back. Sun Li, the former commander of Ma Jun, knew that this shows that this horse has a good relationship with the knight on the horse's back and can quickly respond to the other party's instructions.
When ancient people saw a good horse, they were even more excited than Guo Meimei when she saw Lamborghini. Sun Li looked at the war horse and drooled, and then turned his gaze to the knight on the back of the horse. Oh, this guy is not easy to mess with. I stood on the mountain, and the other generals were panicked to prepare weapons. Only the guy who was riding on the horse kept looking at me in the opposite direction... After so long, the guy's hands were steady and not shaking at all.
After looking at Shizeng, Sun Li looked behind her, and his hands tightened... With that, there were two good horses behind this guy, all of whom were surrounded by carriages... Oh, after seeing Lamborghini, when he saw Maserati again, what did Aston Martin feel after Sun Li felt his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
At this moment, the time wear on the horse's back was also measuring Sun Li: "Hey, the things this guy wears look so familiar. Oh, it's a leather jacket made by my family... Wrong, my family only produces a navy blue leather jacket, and now everyone treats it as a captain's suit. I haven't produced this black and red one... Yaya, this guy dares to pirate, plagiarize my design, and make a copycat to anger me... I've seen pirated people, but I've never seen such pirated people in person. I'm really toothless."
The generals gathered together, and one general reminded him weakly: "The chief coach, the task given to us is only a sentry detective. Now I have figured out the hiding point of the Liangshan River bandits. The task has been completed, so let's withdraw it."
Shi Chuan asked back: "Where to retreat? Where to retreat?"
Another general who was stable in the focus interrupted: "Either move forward and rush out of the mountain pass. Not far away is the flat ground of Haizhou Prefecture. We can summon local team training to assist; or retreat along the road, just that way..."
Shi Chuan casually added: "It's just that, the news we reported back is outdated - as long as the Liangshan gangsters rushed out of Lijiaao, they could reach the south gate of Haizhou within one day. In that case, when we take a detour back, they probably began to besiege the county town."
The generals were stumbled and didn't say anything. Shi Chuan continued, "It's not appropriate to rush forward. The Liangshan River bandits are all horse bandits. Their war horses are better than us. Once they rush to the plain and wait for the Liangshan River bandits to surround us, we will not even have a scumbag."
The twenty generals who followed him were all generals with experience in catching and stealing. Although they seemed panicked at this time, the more they were in desperate situations, the more they were, they had a sense of being defeated. Many generals had already begun to organize their belongings and prepare weapons to compete with them. Some generals stared at Sun Li on the top of the slope and gritted their teeth and suggested: "Chief, there are only three people on the other side. Why not take us up and drive the guy on the opposite side, and then advance or retreat. We are all based on your opinion."
Shitun nodded: "This is a good idea."
After saying that, Shi Chuan was not polite. He activated the war horse. The war horse under his crotch took light dance steps and began to climb the hill calmly. The generals who had been fighting for a long time immediately spread out, covering the shield with one hand and holding a crossbow in the other. The generals without crossbows were prepared for flying knives, flying forks, flying guns, flying hammers, and prepared to throw.
Sun Li on the hillside snorted, as if he was very angry with the courage of the group of people opposite him. He turned around and made moves behind him. This action made some generals hesitate, but Shizhan did not stop. He held the "pen gun" and held the reins of the horse with one hand, controlling the war horse carefully avoiding the miscellaneous trees on the hillside and moving forward with all the way.
Zhang Qing, a featherless arrow, appeared from behind the slope. When he saw the visitor, he immediately said something softly. Sun Li was stunned for a moment, without hesitation at all, shouted softly, and turned his head with Zhang Qing and left.
When the generals saw the other party avoiding, they cheered. Several generals crossed over and rushed to the top of the slope... But the generals who had just jumped up the top of the slope immediately became panicked, as if they wanted to turn their horses' heads and go back. Then, feather arrows flew over, and the generals' war horses were shot in succession. They rolled down from the horses, and the war horses neighed in pain.
As people shouted and shouted, Shi Chuan rode his horse and jumped up to the top of the slope. At this time, four Liangshanbo generals had stood behind the slope. One of the short and fat black men stood under a yellow flag, and next to it was a guy dressed in a village scholar. Sun Li was also under the banner, pointing to the ridge and saying something, while Zhang Qing held his bow in his hand, shooting several arrows in succession, and the bowstring was still trembling...
When he appeared on the top of the slope, Zhang Qing raised his bow and shouted: "The whole heroes of Liangshan are here - do you think I am a clay puppet without feathers?"
After saying this, many generals around Shi Chuan had turned around and pulled the cloak, preparing to pull the cloak in front of him to block the feather arrows. Zhang Qing knew that the feather arrows were ineffective against Shi Chuan. When Shi Chuan appeared, he stopped shooting arrows. He said a few words to Sun Li. Sun Li turned around and shouted something at the black fat man. The black fat man turned around and left, while Sun Li held a shield with one hand and grabbed a single whip with the other hand to warn him.
Shi Chuan had no intention of chasing. He waved the penguin at Sun Li and said with a smile: "I always thought that a single whip is a weapon in the novel. When used on cavalry, the huge recoil force will break the use of people's arms - do you know Newton? 'The force is equal to the reaction force' Do you know? I caught up with it, and I actually want to see how you used a single whip?"
Sun Li raised his single whip and snorted in his nose: "You'll know if you come up and try it."
After saying that, Sun Li looked at the penguin he was wearing when he was sarcastically.
At this time, Zhang Qing, who was ignored by Shi Chuan, did not show any obvious desire to chase him. The general beside him was also on the top of the mountain. He screamed strangely and urged, "Brother Sun, go quickly."
This is probably the second round of Shi Chuan's encounter with the Liangshan heroes, and the ending is still: the Liangshan heroes avoid it.
A general next to him heard Shi Chuan's words just now, and carefully reminded: "Chief, the heavy weapon of the iron whip is actually quite practical. On the northern border, the Liao people also use heavy weapons such as hammers and maces. This weapon is very effective in attacking heavy infantry protected by heavy armor. However, the pen-bar gun in the general's hand that breaks as soon as he holds, haha..."
Shi Chuan shook his head with a smile: "They haven't touched the correct way to attack the cavalry yet - Humph, on the high-speed horse, using hard weapons such as maces and iron whip, it is impossible to complete the prescribed action in the impact... Oh, I understand, they are actually a group of 'horse infantry' - riding the war horses, then let the war horses stop running, and stand on the horses to hit people. Only in this way can that hard weapon be useful."
The generals nodded frequently: "Of course this is the case. Is there any other way? When we ride horses and rush to the other party, the other party will naturally avoid it. At this time, we will definitely stop the horse and force the other party with the horse body while attacking the other party. In such a fight, whoever is better will have the upper hand."
Shi Chuan laughed and turned his horse's head: "I understand. It turns out that Sun Li is not scary. I have found a way to deal with him... Let's go, let's continue to move forward. When we rush to the Great Plain, the Liangshan bandits come, I will deal with it."
Before they could reach the Great Plain, Shi Chuan and others rushed to the mountain pass, the entire Liangshan bandits had already dispatched, and a large number of horses were constantly rushing out of Lijiaao. Although there were less than 500 people, five hundred war horses were galloping, with a shocking momentum - the earth trembled under their feet, and the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves made most of their figures hidden in the smoke and dust, and from time to time the figures of smoke and dust floated out, making it impossible to understand the virtuality of the troops.
Shi Chuan urged the team to move forward. At this time, the carriage was abandoned on the ridge because of its slow speed. Several Indian servants were leading Shi Chuan two spare horses and running. Their speed affected the entire team's journey, so Shi Chuan left the Lijiaao Pass and the bandits of Liangshan rushed out.
The heroes of Liangshan were indeed well-trained. As soon as the horse team reached the open land, the twelve commanders immediately shouted that the team had split. The two teams, one left and one right, tacitly formed a clamp shape and crossed the two wings to encircle...
Running, at this time everyone's only consciousness was to run. Hundreds of war horses flew over with their four hooves, and the sound of the rumbling horse hooves was deafening.
The bandits of Liangshanbo are worthy of being the horse bandits traversing the east and west roads of Beijing. Their quality of war horses is far higher than that of the generals. After a while, the cavalry on the detours of the two wings are about to close the shape of the clamps, but when Shi Chuan saw that he could not escape, he immediately ordered: "Set up a formation."
The general had not yet reminisced about the meaning of this sentence, and the thirty musketeers responded so much. They quickly jumped off the horses and let the horses lie down to form a barricade... After they almost arranged their defensive positions, the generals who rushed in front of them saw that the heroes of Liangshan had already surrounded him and had no hope of breaking out of the encirclement. They had to turn the horses around and retreat behind the barricade...
At this time, it was meaningless to blame the generals for escaping alone. The sniper position composed of thirty musketeers was very thin. Only with the participation of the generals could the formation be barely thicker. Shi Chuan glanced at the generals and immediately ordered: "Cover the ears of the war horses and tie the war horses up."
The generals were at a loss, but immediately, several generals remembered the special weapon they wore - Thunder Fire. This was probably because they were afraid of the thunder that shocked the war horses.
So, the smarter general had turned around and looked at the actions of the sergeant. When he saw the movements of the sergeant, he immediately followed suit and covered the ears of the war horse with clothes or cloaks. By the time they tied the war horses all, it had been delayed a lot of time. But strangely, the heroes of Liangshan opposite were not in a hurry to attack during this period.
At this time, the musketeers had raised their barrels behind the horse, and their muzzles were aimed at the heroes of Liangshan opposite. On the other hand, the team of the heroes of Liangshan seemed to be very chaotic, and they seemed to be arguing about something...
After a while, the quarrel seemed to end, and the large troops of Liangshan bandits completed their assembly - at this time, their team was blocking Shi Zhi Qian forward, while Shi Zhi was backing against Lijiaao Pass - this pass is now empty, but who can know if Lijiaao will rush out another group of cavalry once the battle begins?
Shi Chuan observed a little and saw the generals looking at the Yamaguchi with a terrifying attitude. At this time, even if more than a dozen horse bandits rushed over to the Lijiaao Mountain Pass, the group of generals would explode.
After a pause, the heroes of Liangshan were also sorting out their formation. Shi Chuan quickly allocated several generals to guard the rear. By the way, there were only 30 Cuizhuang musketeers who could use it at hand and were willing to follow him firmly. It was already difficult to guard against attacks from all over the world. At this time, the generals who had once broken through the sea of swords and fires had been very calm before, but they really had a head-on encounter with the heroes of Liangshan, and they seemed to be inferior to Cuizhuang's group training.
Do you want to be my apprentice? Just this guy is so slutty on the inside... Forget it, this group of people was scared by the heroes of Liangshan. Maybe they had heard about the ruthlessness of this group of water bandits before. It is said that several leaders of them like to eat fresh people's hearts, which made many generals unable to help but cover their hearts - can they still hide their hearts?
"Why are they not attacking yet?" a general asked in horror.
Shi Chuan reached out and patted the war horse he rode and replied: "Because of this horse."
"Just because of a horse?" The general who asked was incredible.
Shi Chuan nodded: "They are planning a big event, maybe they are planning a sneak attack on Haizhou, but the horses under their crotch are not as good as my horse, Xiongjun. Once they start besieging us, I will have someone riding a war horse and breaking out. If they can't surround this horse, even if we all die here in battle, there will always be people riding a horse and telling Haizhou about their arrival. In this way, they will lose the opportunity to raid Haizhou.
So, now they are hesitating, whether to risk leaking secrets and get rid of us first... However, this group of people are very rational in doing things. I bet that the first thing they think of is to complete the big thing they planned."
As soon as Shi Chuan finished speaking, the group of troops in Liangshanbo turned to the dock and rumbled towards Haizhou. Only four military flags were left at the scene, one with the surname "Li", the other with the surname "Guan", the other with the surname "Suo", and the other with the surname "Zhang". The four generals led about 60 people, constantly allowing war horses to circle around Shi Chuan's formation, so that the people here with Shi Chuan dared not leave the defensive position.
"Look, they did not expect it. Because they were worried that we would break out, their raid plan failed. They had to launch a sudden attack and pounce directly on Haizhou - what we have to do now is: hurry back to the city to report the news and let the city close the gate early."
Shi Chuan glanced at the generals: "We can only send two people to report the news. Among you, the best equestrian, stand up, ride my good horse, bypass the surrounding Liangshan gangsters, and go to the city to report the news first."
The two generals immediately stood up: "We'll go, we'll be the best horseman...but the horse bandits on the other side are entangled, and I'm afraid it's not easy to escape."
Shi Chuan nodded: "I will open the way for you - the whole army stood up, left behind the war horses, alternately covered, and attacked."
Chapter completed!
