Chapter 380 You are my person
The heavy infantry attacks are extremely fierce - and this may be the heaviest heavy infantry with armor in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Zhang Heng blocked the shield with the shield in his hand. In an instant, the sharp Pu Dao shattered the simple leather shield. The knife light shook at Zhang Heng's shoulder without any pause. Zhang Heng was afraid and lay down on the spot in the knife-like manner. After rolling, he rolled to the foot of Bu Renjia, and raised the knife to chop it on the other party's leg.
The Infantry Armor is a very strange heavy infantry armor. It is strange because among all the infantry armors in ancient and modern times, only the Infantry Armor drags long, very cumbersome, and heavy battle skirts covered with iron sheets. This makes it difficult for the human armor to move on the body, and thus becomes the heaviest armor in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Of course, it is also the armor with the best protection.
The invention of the Infantry Armor was to prevent cavalry from attacking infantry. Its good protection also shows that the Song people cherished soldiers. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were all mercenaries and had no slaves. The only bad thing was that in order to avoid the soldiers appearing when they paid their salaries and disappearing when they were fighting, the Song Dynasty soldiers had their faces stabbed.
Zhang Heng slashed with a knife, and the soldiers on the opposite side did not dodge. He simply raised his feet slightly, lifted his knees and skirts, and faced the sword light in Zhang Heng's hand. The distance was too short and he could not change his move. After a spark burst, Zhang Heng's knife slashed on the armor piece. When he exerted force on his hand, a crisp sound came suddenly. Zhang Heng felt a lighter in his hand, and was shocked - it was broken, and the knife was broken.
While lifting up the skirt armor, the long-handled Park Knife in his hand also cut off fiercely. Zhang Heng saw the sword light at the corner of his eyes. At this time, he could no longer avoid it. After the knife in his hand was broken, Zhang Heng's body lost balance and fell towards the imperial guard. His neck was so easy to face the sword light.
At the critical moment, we still have to see friends. Ruan Jin, who fought side by side with him, shouted loudly, "The whole group of Liangshan heroes is here." He rushed over. The knife in his hand faced Bu Renjia, and stopped the sword light before Bu Renjia fell on Zhang Heng's neck. He heard the two swords intersecting and making a crisp sound. Then Ruan Jin let out a shrill scream - his knife was lucky enough to block the imperial guard's knife that was chopped towards Zhang Heng, but Bu Renjia next to him saw the advantage. While holding Bu Renjia with Ruan Jin's knife, he slashed on Ruan Jin's shoulder with a fierce knife.
The short-lived Erlang Ruan Jin was killed.
In the real history of Water Margin, there is no Ruan Xiaoqi, and the short-lived Erlang Ruan Jin and the Tai Sui Ruan Tong are not brothers at all.
With Ruan Jin's rescue, Zhang Heng rolled out of the battle formation and pushed the rear to change the sword and fight again - he was really angry. For Ruan Jin's life-saving grace, he had to steal Ruan Jin's corpse back.
Unfortunately, the infantry armor faced by the heroes of Liangshan was a heavy infantry specially developed by the Song army to resist the Liao and Western Xia cavalry. In the more than 200 years of foreign war in the Northern Song Dynasty, the infantry armor Pu Dao Formation was something that could still be countered in the face of the impact of cavalry. For two hundred years, the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom had no temper at all. Once this thing formed a formation and advanced step by step, it was the momentum of Mount Tai, and the surging cavalry would avoid its edge.
The martial arts of the generals of the Liangshan Navy Army were originally unreliable when they arrived on the land. After going through a lot of hardships, they paid the price of Ruan Tong being seriously injured. The price of the capture of the Hunjiang Long Li Hai (played by Hunjiang Long Li Jun in Water Margin) was only to kill five Burenjia and seriously injured three of them - but they were still continuing to advance, and the general trend was unstoppable.
At this time, most naval generals had changed their swords twice. The steps of Burenjia were a little slow. The generals on the left and right wings rushed up to drive Liangshan's naval army to give him a breath. Taking advantage of this, Zhang Heng quickly gasped all the way, with only the remaining naval generals, Zhang Shun rushed over to find Wu Jialiang to give his advice: "Military advisor, Ruan Jin was killed, Ruan Tong was seriously injured, Li Hai was separated into the battle formation, I saw several people grabbing him with hooks... Military advisor, Burenjia could not rush for the time being, take advantage of this time, hurry up and talk."
Wu Jialiang nodded, accompanied by the fireboat worker Zhang Cen, walked to the front of the formation and shouted at the imperial guard camp: "Zhang Dayin is very clear about things, he doesn't keep his word. He just said that he would surrender us. Several of us leaders are discussing and sent troops to attack us... Forget it, since you have no intention, I will give up. Since Dayin wants to fight with us, I will tell Dayin when he goes back, he dares not to accompany the heroes of Liangshan."
The point of this sentence is "Go back and tell Da Yin" - as for other words, they are nonsense.
The Song army was a highly classed army. The Song Dynasty used civil servants to control military affairs. Even when the battle was at its most intense, the generals on the other side had something to say to the civil servants, how dare the generals not pass the words back to the city - fortunately, the Burenjia now needs rest, which does not delay the war.
On the top of the city, Zhang Shuye heard Liang Shanbo's reply and felt very funny: "This... has been beaten like this, so..."
The magistrate Tong was angry: "Isn't they rejected me just now? How could this group of gangs be like this? The thief called to catch the thief and turned the thief... he was really unfaithful."
Zhang Shuye ordered without hesitation: "Come here, kill the prisoner Suo Chao, take the head to the dock, and tell them that 'If you don't surrender, you will die'."
County Magistrate Meng lowered his head and replied: "Zhao Qi, Suo Chao has been killed - the generals have taken it out to shock the bandits of Liang Shan."
Zhang Shuye didn't care and immediately ordered: "I captured some important leader just now, and killed him, and gave it to the bandits of Liangshan. Tell them that they have already had time at this moment, either surrender or die."
Zhang Shuye was a tough man, and he had always been like this. After the Battle of Song and Jin, facing the Iron Cavalry of the Jin army, many officials in Shandong opened the city to surrender. Only he led a group of "weak brigades" mainly composed of generals, who dared to fight against the Jin people alone.
Zhang Shuye, who once served as the magistrate in Shaanxi, grew up in the war with the people of Xixia. He was never afraid of fighting. He sent out a signal of surrender to deal with the imperial court's amnesty. Now it's smooth sailing, Zhang Shuye really wants to carry out the battle to the end - now he is angering the heroes of Liangshan.
The messenger went over to convey the message, and then the subsequent news filled Zhang Shuye with surprise - the bandits of Liangshan actually surrendered.
No conditions were mentioned. The Liangshan bandits who once scattered most of the Northern China surrendered on this night at the Haizhou Pier - not to recruit or surrender.
"What a long day," Zhang Shuye said slowly.
The magistrate Tong immediately flattered: "Recruiting envoys is such a good method. This group of Liangshan gangs have existed for five or six years. They have been in trouble with Haizhou for almost a month. It took a day to recruit envoys to force the group of Liangshan gangs to surrender - from then on, the north will be peaceful."
Zhang Shuye sighed: "Is the north peaceful? News came early this morning that Hebei rebelled against Zhang Di (Tian Hu in Water Margin, one of the four major bandits alongside Song Jiang). How can the north be peaceful now?"
At this time, the court sent envoys to go out to sea from Dengzhou to contact the Jin people and form an alliance with the Jin people to attack the Liao Kingdom together. However, there are rumors that the Jin people had just suffered a defeat in the war with the Liao Kingdom. Song Huizong immediately changed his mind and sent people to Dengzhou to prevent diplomatic missions from going out to sea. When the heroes of Liangshan surrendered, it was when Song Huizong ordered the imperial envoys not to go out to sea for the time being. Song Huizong's frivolity in treating the alliance made the Jin envoys who accompanied him very despised - you were asking us to join us, how could the plan change...
From then on, the Jin Kingdom did not think that they had to respect this covenant.
At the head of Haizhou city, Zhang Shuye yawned and ordered: "I ordered the generals to come forward to confiscate the weapons, and then imprison Liang Shanshui alone. When it dawn tomorrow, I will have enough sleep. I will first reward the meritorious soldiers and then go to meet the Liangshan River bandits."
At this time, Lord Tongzong also wanted to divide some military merits. He looked up at Zhang Shuye and flattered him: "Just go to sleep and report the victory to the court by the lower officials. Let's send out a report to the victory first. The court is worried about that report the victory. Let's go back and wait until the adults read it and send it to me."
Uncle Zhang nodded slightly, then yawned and covered his mouth. With the support of his personal soldiers, he walked down the city wall. The magistrate stood on the city wall and looked up, and then walked down the city. In fact, under the night sky, he could not see anything on the city. Binhai Avenue is more than ten miles long. The battle has moved to the breakwater, and the entire breakwater is also three miles long.
It was dawn, and the forgotten Shizhan was blocking the sea for a night and got the news of Liang Shan bandit surrender. While notifying the Clippers to report to Donghai County, he ordered the Batou Shui Army to get on the dock and complained: "Grandma, let's say it earlier, let's go to have a good night's sleep."
The dock area still has traces of the battle last night, but the merchants are already impatient. A large group of merchants are wearing them when they are waiting to greet the dock area. When they meet, they complain: "Dalang, the trade wind has been blowing for half a month. If we don't go to sea, what are our family's snacks? I have put all the money on the goods."
Shi Chuan nodded: "I have sent a speedboat to inform Donghai County. If you still have a way out, you should also notify the cargo ships hiding there to come back to load the goods. The officials of the Maritime Department also notified them to inspect the goods and collect taxes immediately. The ships that paid the tax immediately went to Donghai County to gather, and went to sea with ten ships and one formation. Each ten merchant ships were escorted by two gunboats. You guys, have you heard the sound of gunboat fighting? Now that you have fast hands and slow hands, you can start sailing quickly."
When the merchants heard this, they were immediately furious and started looking for sources of goods, looking for loading and unloading workers, looking for officials of the Maritime Warehouse Department, and looking for ferries to rush to Donghai County. With their actions, the dock that fought day and night immediately regained its vitality. The traces of the existence of the Liang bandits were gradually erased. When the sun rose, the traces of the Liang bandits seemed to not exist, and no one still remembered this.
The first one to come to work were the flower stylists. These flower stylists looked like an army. They formed a group of ten people and entered the dock area in a row. While cleaning up the wreckage of yesterday's battle, cleaning up the burned ruins, setting up simple lifting machinery, and preparing for loading and unloading.
What followed were all kinds of small vendors. Some vendors were selling things while purchasing miscellaneous items, such as the broken swords and swords left over from yesterday's battle, abandoned luggage, and even the clothes and fabrics on the bodies. The bargaining sounds, the shouts of buying goods, and the jingling sounds of silver money when buying, made the dock area look like a large theater.
At this time, the Liangshan pirates were detained in a warehouse under Shi Chuan's name. The reason they were detained here was because Shi Chuan's warehouse was full of huge stone buildings, and there were guarded sentry towers in several corners. This warehouse happened to have goods vacated, which was very suitable to detain prisoners... However, it was said that it was detained, but in fact, the disarmed Liangshan heroes were in a relatively free situation - after all, they still had a name for "recruitment" on their heads.
Hearing that the dock had become lively in the blink of an eye, Song Jiang couldn't sit still. He led a few of his confidants to walk to the warehouse door. Seeing that the guard had no intention of blocking it, he walked out of the gate and stood on the steps - but when he got here, Song Jiang did not dare to continue, because the general guarding had already shown his fierce eyes and the crossbow in his hand was also raised.
Looking at the bustling crowds and merchants wearing brocade silk, covered with gold and jewelry, Song Jiang sighed: "Haizhou is so rich. He recovered his vitality in just one night."
Wu Jialiang was still pondering, and Li Kui blurted out: "Brother, why didn't I see these rich people yesterday? It would be great if I saw these rich people yesterday - I robbed them, and I robbed them yesterday and surrendered today. I believe that after we surrender, the Dayin of Haizhou would not plot our property."
After saying that, Black Tornado Li Kui thought, "It turns out that the dock area is so rich. I will go to guard the dock after I recruit you."
In real history, the famous Liangshan hero, non-famous traitor black troll, finally realized his wish after several struggles. He didn't have to think about Haizhou anymore. Another major maritime company, Mizhou, could work hard. He was finally appointed as the "Minister" of Mizhou... Of course, when the Jin people invaded, the magistrate of Mizhou and other civil servants in Mizhou fought against the Jin people, were defeated and fled. Li Kui, who was responsible for defending the city, surrendered to the Jin people and opened the gates of Mizhou to welcome the Jin people massacre. That's a story later.
Song Jiang didn't like to listen to Li Kui's words. He thought that his subordinates should "closely unite around the leadership with themselves as the core" whether before or after surrendering. Although the core of Song Dynasty was definitely not Song Jiang after the recruitment, Song Jiang still believed that these people should have received the salary paid by the emperor and listened to their own words, otherwise it would be "surrenderism."
"Tieniu, let's not mention what will happen in the future. The important thing is not to let the court break up our brothers." Song Jiang's earnest advice: "We brothers travel around the north and south, have a deep friendship with each other. When we turn back to the government, we still get together and be happy there, but it's not good?"
Song Jiang had just finished giving the orders earnestly, and a group of people came to the opposite side. The man in the lead was very tall, white and clean, looking arrogant and arrogant. Zhang Qing quickly took a step forward and whispered: "Brother, this is Shi Chengxin."
In fact, Song Jiang encountered the Aoshi Chuan at Baihu Mountain Pass, but at that time both sides were about to fight and retreat, and there was no direct conversation. At this time, he bumped into him head-on. Song Jiang bowed and greeted: "The minor official in Yuncheng, the black sandalstone Song Jiang had met Chengxinlang, and he really didn't know each other without fighting..."
Shi Chuan rolled his eyes and interrupted Song Jiang's words: "It's so that Leader Song learned that Chengxin Lang is already a thing of the past. Our family is Xiuwulang now, and the dispatch is the defensive envoy of the naval naval army."
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, Shi Chuan immediately asked blankly: "Where is the fireboat worker Zhang Cen?"
When Song Jiang heard that the gunship on the beach was commanded by Shi Chuan, he slightly uncovered his doubts. While calling someone to call Zhang Cen, he asked tentatively: "Xuwulang, I don't know where my brother Zhang Cen has offended me. I'm here to apologize to Xiuwulang. Please forgive my brother for Song Jiang's sake."
Shi Chuan laughed: "What are your face?
After a while, Shi Chuan added: "What can Zhang Cen do to offend me?"
Although Zhang Cen is a navy general, this old man in his forties is best at driving ships. According to legend, he can look at the stars to determine the position of the ship. In modern terms, this guy can use star-grabbing techniques and can position the ship on the water.
It is also said that the generals of Liangshan's naval army are good at charging and conquering the fleet, and in all the water battles, Zhang Cen was the one who organized and deployed the fleet. In modern terms, it is: Zhang Cen is good at organization and knows how to form fleets on the water surface, so that all ships can fight together to exert their maximum power.
Zhang Cen's name is not prominent in Liangshanpo. Neither the notes of the Song Dynasty nor the Water Margin, this person was attributed to one of the thirty-six generals. The Water Margin even ignored this person at all, but Shi Chuan knew the purpose of histology... Soon, Zhang Cen was summoned, Shi Chuan looked up and down at the simple old man, and greeted him with a little finger: "Come with me."
Song Jiang took a step forward and wanted to say something anxiously. Shi Chuan glanced at Zhang Cen, who was in a hurry, and said to Song Jiang in a blink of an eye: "Which army in the world can have thirty-six generals at once? Haha, you have surrendered. If the court gives you a small official position, you will definitely be reluctant. For the sake of face, the court must give you an official as a defensive envoy? The thirty-six defensive envoys are in one army. Is there such an army in the world?
Besides, since you surrendered, the Song Dynasty is the world of the Zhao family, and this army should not be owned by the private sector. If you are the current official and have to surrender an army and let this army get your salary, will you let their former leaders gather together to command this army?
Will the officials today be willing to do what you refuse to do? So you will go your separate ways after all - whether from the military system or from the control of the human heart, you thirty-six will be separated. Just in time, I lack a boat housekeeper, Zhang Cen, you are the only one. Please pack your luggage and follow me."
Zhang Cen only lowered his head and hesitated for less than five seconds, immediately waved his hand and replied: "Old man, I am alone. I was originally a defeated general. If you have any luggage and treasures to be cleaned up, I will follow you."
After saying that, Zhang Cen rushed to Song Jiang, Wu Jialiang, Zhang Qing and Li Kui bowed: "Dear leaders, let's say goodbye."
Li Kui's back as he walked away screamed: "This guy is so arrogant. He looks down on people so much. When I Tie Niu's fist is vegetarian, what is the world of the Zhao family? I annoyed Tie Niu. Let's pull the Emperor of the Zhao family off and let my brother sit on the emperor's throne."
