Chapter 125 Dig a Small Pit

Liu Yanqing is not an incompetent person, but his mind has always been stuck in a pattern, that is, unconditionally obeying the orders of the court.

However, today's words from the county magistrate opened a door for him.

Yes! How can those mountain thieves and grass bandits be my opponents? As long as I annihilate the Liangshan people in one battle, it will be too late for the court to be happy! How can you still blame me?

At that time, the brothers are really willing to go back to the south of the Yangtze River, which is not impossible. I'm afraid that when the court's reward comes down, these bastards are unwilling to leave.

I did it when I thought of it. After sending the county magistrate away in person, I immediately beat the drum and raised the account and told my thoughts to the generals.

The generals have been holding back here for a long time. Now there is hope to go home, so they still don't agree with Liu Yanqing's idea? After dispersing the account, the whole barracks immediately moved.

Various materials prepared for the expedition, and at the same time send scouts to investigate the specific location of Liangshan people and horses, etc.

The next day, before dawn, the soldiers began to bury the pot to make rice. After a full meal, they pulled out the camp and rushed to the border between Xuzhou and Yizhou, where Liangshan people camped.

These soldiers who repeatedly made achievements in the suppression of bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, like their generals, did not pay attention to the Liangshan people who were born as mountain thieves. Full of confidence to think about the first battle.

Standing on the wall and looking at the fading brigade, the county magistrate couldn't help but breathe and finally sent away this group of deadly ancestors.

Turning his head and looked at a middle-aged man standing beside him, he sincerely said, "Cousin, thank you very much, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with these military masters."

The cousin smiled and suddenly bowed to the county magistrate.

"C cousin, why are you doing this?"

"For my brother, I thanked my cousin on behalf of the head of my family"

"Your manager? Isn't your cousin business in the south? What's the general manager from there?

"Of course, it is the general manager of Liangshan in Shandong"

Hearing this, the county magistrate was so scared that he trembled and pointed to his cousin, and said for a long time, "What? Are you from Liangshan?

Cousin raised his hand and pressed the hand of the county magistrate and said earnestly, "Cousin! It's not for my brother to hurt you. What is the court like today? Presumably you know better than me that the world has become a beacon, and the wolves outside the customs look at you. How long can this mediocre court last? Because you are a distant relative, I came to save you. Do you think these officers and soldiers who only know how to bully the people can stop my Liangshan army? To tell you the truth, the general manager has personally led 100,000 troops to drive Linyizhou. Liu Yanqing's people and horses are not even enough to stuff the teeth of our general manager."

Even if the county magistrate knows no matter how military it is, Liang Shan has dug a big hole for Liu Yanqing in Yizhou, and the originator of this matter is himself.

Once Liu Yanqing's people and horses are destroyed, the court will definitely be angry and will not have a good end. Liangshan is very scheming and sets up a situation step by step. At this point, he has no choice but to turn to Liangshan.

It's useless to say anything now. He sighed, "What should we do next?"

When my cousin saw that he was persuaded, his face immediately became serious and said in a low voice, "What else should I do? Remember, Liu Yanqing sent troops without permission and has nothing to do with you. He impeached Liu Yanqing. Someone in the court will speak for you, but he also put ugly words in front for my brother. If you have three knives on both sides, right If Liang Shanyang disobeys it, even the emperor can't save you."

Liang Shan is going to be an undercover agent in Xuzhou!

For a while, the county magistrate didn't know how it felt.

After receiving the news of Liu Yanqing's dispatch of troops, Song Qing immediately entered Chengxian County to form a horn with Guan Sheng and prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing has been fighting for a long time. Although he looked down on the people of Liangshan, he was also extremely careful on the march. Slowly, so that the soldiers can have a full rest. The scouts continuously patrolled for more than ten miles, and did not give Liangshan any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Three days later, Liu Yanqing's people arrived outside Cheng County.

Looking at the two camps under Liang Shan, Liu Yanqing was happy and worried.

The happy thing is that he can see from the flag that Song Qing, the thief head of Liangshan, is also there, and there are not many people. If it goes well, he can even capture the thief chief in one battle.

The worry is that the Liangshan camp is very strong and can be said to occupy all the land. Obviously, there are also tall people in the Liangshan camp. In this way, it is not suitable for a strong attack. It is best to bring Liangshan people out of the field, so that you can be sure of the battle.

After confirming that Liang Shan would not take advantage of his unstable foothold to send troops to attack, Liu Yanqing ordered the camp.

Song Qing looked at the officers and soldiers who were camped in an orderly manner in the distance and couldn't help nodding. This was the first time he saw the officers and soldiers looking a little strong soldiers.

Zhu Wu, who was beside him, smiled and said, "When Tong Guan conquered our Liangshan, the soldiers were much more prosperous than them, and they were still beaten by us. What's more, we have cavalry now. As soon as our cavalry comes out, Liu Yanqing's people and horses will immediately collapse."

Think about it, but it's always good to be cautious. As a strange soldier, the cavalry must play an unexpected role, so as to maximize the power of the cavalry.

For this reason, Song Qing decided to fight with Liu Yanqing first to explore the combat effectiveness of this officer and soldier.

Tell the signal to be played by Guan Sheng.

Not long after the cannon of the camp on Song Qing's side sounded, Guan Sheng's camp gate was opened. Guan Sheng took the lead and led 3,000 soldiers to rush out, and quickly lined up a position several miles away from Liu Yanqing's camp.

Liu Yanqing was not willing to show weakness and also sent a plut. He and Song Qing all wanted to test the details of the other party first.

The officers and soldiers led a biased general and came out aggressively, but soon he paid the price for looking down on Liang Shan. He was killed by Guan Sheng in several rounds.

When the generals were killed, the soldiers were suddenly in an uproar, but after all, they were well-trained officers and soldiers, and there was no chaos because of this. Instead, they quickly defended themselves under the constraints of their low-level officers to prevent Liangshan people from rushing to kill.

Although Guan Sheng beheaded the generals, he did not disrupt the camp of the officers and soldiers, which was inevitably distressed. Moreover, he saw that the officers and soldiers were well defended and knew that it was not appropriate to attack, so after scolding for a while, he returned to the camp with men and horses.

Liu Yanqing was also surprised to see his men beheaded in the camp. He said that the rumors were true, and Liang Shan's generals were indeed very powerful.

However, Liu Yanqing was not afraid of Liangshan because of this. Since your generals are powerful, we will fight against the soldiers and don't believe that these bandits can defeat my forbidden army.

Liu Yanqing's caution made Song Qing look up at him again, and ordered Hu Yanzhu to burn them without signal and not to send troops.

The next morning, Liu Yanqing led 10,000 people to set up a position outside the camp, and another 10,000 people were ready to support and cooperate with the enemy camp at any time.

10,000 officers and soldiers are divided into three squares: left, middle and right. The archers of the army are in the front, behind them are fast knives with knives and shields, and the left and right phalanxes are mainly long shooters.

At a glance at this situation, Song Qing and others guessed Liu Yanqing's intention. Fighting soldiers, is Liang Shan afraid of you?

The flag was launched, and Liang Shan's soldiers quickly rushed out of the camp to gather.

Unlike Liu Yanqing's position of putting the main force in the middle, Liang Shan set up a crab array. That is, the heavy troops are on both sides, but there are not many soldiers in the middle army.

On the left side, Wu Song's 3,000 knives and axes, on the right side, Li Kui's 3,000 knives and axes, and Lu Zhishen and Liu Tang led 2,000 soldiers with a variety of weapons. Behind each soldier is still carrying a shield with a smaller size.

There are all kinds of weapons for soldiers, but most of them are heavy weapons, ghost knives, maces, hammers and so on.

As soon as he saw Liang Shan's position, Liu Yanqing frowned. It was not until this moment that he had a bad feeling in his heart and knew that he was too underestimated the enemy.

Although it doesn't feel appropriate, it can no longer change the formation. Nowadays, there is only a backwater battle, and there are not many people in Liangshan. As long as you withstand the first offensive, the people you reserved can completely wipe them out.

Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing immediately launched the banner of attack.

Among the heroes of Liangshan, these four members are known as the four killing gods. They are the one who trembles with excitement at the sight of a battle.

However, since Song Qing implemented military discipline in Liangshan, these brothers have become much more stable. Instead of rushing forward happily when they see the enemy as before, they can take care of the whole.

Seeing the officers and soldiers advancing step by step, the flag facing Liang Shan also came out.

The two armies approached quickly. After firing a round, the archers of the officers and soldiers immediately retreated. The fast knife hands quickly followed and killed Liangshan soldiers with knives.

Although Liang Shan's pawn was equipped with a shield, he was still shot down. The rest accelerated his pace, quickly rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, and then dropped his shield to catch and fight with the officers and soldiers.

The short soldiers immediately reflected the fierceness of Liangshan soldiers.

The killing gods led by Lu Zhishen and others are simply the nightmares of officers and soldiers. No one can stop them from facing each other. They only kill the officers and soldiers crying for their father and mother and avoiding them one after another.

Although Liangshan heroes are brave enough, there are too many officers and soldiers, as if they can't be killed endlessly, hitting Liangshan people and horses like tides.

Seeing this scene, Song Qing immediately raised the flag and ordered Hua Rong to lead 5,000 people to the battlefield again.

Liu Yanqing saw that Liang Shan had sent more troops, and he couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth. Liang Shan and Song Erlang, but that's all. If you invest 5,000, I will invest 6,000, and I will fight for you.

At this time, the sound of killing on the battlefield was shocking, and 13,000 Liangshan soldiers and 15,000 officers and soldiers fought together in blood. Liangshan heroes used their bravery to offset the superiority of officers and soldiers in numbers, but this could only last for a while. Lu Zhishen and others knew that it was time to pretend to be defeated.

They slowly, and gradually, Liang Shan's soldiers were a little irresistible. At this time, Liu Yanqing still had 5,000 reserves useless, but Song Qing only had 2,000 horses left.

Zhu Wu couldn't help saying, "Chief, it's time for General Huyan to come out."

Song Qing looked at the situation calmly and said without looking back: "Wait a minute, Liu Yanqing's reserve team is not on yet."

Zhu Wu had to admire Song Qing's courage. It turned out that he only thought that Song Qing could plan strategies, but he didn't know that Song Qing was also calm and generous in front of such a bloody battlefield, showing the demeanor of a generation of famous generals.

At this time, the situation in the battlefield has begun to change. Liang Shan's soldiers finally showed signs of retreat in the face of the officers and soldiers who were not inferior to their own.

Liu Yanqing was very happy to see this scene and said that he should be an old man to make contributions! Song Erlang, where are you going this time? Immediately order the reserve personnel to suppress the whole line, and be sure to annihilate the Liangshan people in the first battle.

In the sound of the gun, the officers and soldiers in the battalion poured out and called for the defeated Liangshan people and horses.

At this time, a red flame also rose to the sky in the Liangshan camp.

Seeing this flame, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned. He was not stupid. Of course, he could guess that this was a signal for help, but dozens of miles around him had to be detected. What kind of ambush? That's why he dared to press the whole line.

When I was puzzled, I suddenly saw a black line moving in the distance, and then the earth under my feet also trembled.

Cavalry!

Liu Yanqing, who had been fighting for a long time, almost exclaimed. He never dreamed that Liang Shan had such a large cavalry team. Although he reacted at the first time, what's the use of reacting now? It will only add chaos if people retreat.

Liu Yanqing can figure out the consequences of infantry on the cavalry with his toes. Whether to enter or die, retreat or die.

Thinking that he is a famous general, but he is still calculated by Liang Shan. In this situation, there is no suspense about the result of the destruction of the whole army.

Liu Yanqing only felt that his throat was salty and spit out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body fell back.
