Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The person on the saddle wears iron armor, and the horse sits down with a copper bell. The flags are red and the sky is full of clouds, and the swords are white covering thousands of miles of snow. The bow is bent like a magpie painting, the flying fish bag half exposes the dragon's tip; the arrow is inserted into the carved feather, and the lion pot is tightly tied to the leopard's tail. The man wears a deep helmet hanging down to protect his neck, slightly revealing his eyes; the horse wears heavy armor with red tassels, and has four legs hanging single. The soldiers who opened the way were all armed with axes; the generals behind them were all armed with long spears. A man who is accustomed to fighting will be a hero like Zilu; a man who can conquer soldiers will be as bold as Jiang Wei. Thousands of horses left the city, and three generals came to the water.

Before the front army could clear the way, Han Tao, the commander of the Chinese army Hu Yanzhuo, and the rear army urged Peng Qi to lead the three armies and rushed towards Liangshan Bo. Jiang Hongfei had already received the news that the Zhao and Song court sent Hu Yanzhuo to suppress Shui Bo Liangshan. news.

The water is swimming in Liangshan, in the Juyi Hall.

Jiang Hongfei, Sun Jing, Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu, Liu Huiniang and others gathered together to discuss how to deal with Hu Yanzhuo leading eight thousand troops to fight.

Sun Jing said: "I heard that Hu Yanzhuo is the direct descendant of Hu Yanzan, the famous Hedong general who founded the country. He is very powerful. He is used to wielding two bronze whips and should not be approached by others. He is also proficient in the art of commanding troops. He is a good general and should not be taken carelessly. .”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Although this man's strength is not weak, it is nothing in our Shuibo Liangshan. The real trouble is his three thousand heavy cavalry. If he uses it properly, he can withstand an army of one hundred thousand."

Although what Xu Guanzhong said is a bit exaggerated, judging from the past glorious achievements of the armored heavy cavalry, this possibility is not impossible.

Jiang Hongfei reminded everyone: "This man also has another tactic, which is to teach three thousand heavy cavalry to line up in a row, with every thirty horses chaining iron rings; but when encountering an enemy, shoot with arrows from far away and use arrows from near. The guns collided directly; the three thousand continuous horse troops were divided into one hundred teams and locked up. The five thousand infantry troops supported from behind. We must be on guard."

Sun Jing and Xu Guanzhong said in unison: "Serial horse?!"

Jiang Hongfei looked at Sun Jing and Xu Guanzhong and asked, "Do you two military advisors know about this serial horse?"

Sun Jing and Xu Guanzhong glanced at each other, and then Sun Jing reached out to Xu Guanzhong, indicating that Xu Guanzhong should come and talk about it.

Xu Guanzhong was not polite, but said: "Wu Dao Tianwang Ran Min has a reputation for bravery, and his troops are elite. The Yan people are afraid of him, so Murong Ke selected 5,000 people from Xianbei who were good at shooting, and tied their horses with iron chains. Fang Chen advanced and defeated Ran Min."

Sun Jing then said: "This method has existed since ancient times, and it is indeed a difficult method."

Jiang Hongfei asked: "Then do you have a way to break the chain horse?"

When no one spoke, Zhu Wu suggested: "Maybe we can try it with the Fire Ox Formation."

Sun Jing and Xu Guanzhong listened to Zhu Wu's idea, pondered for a while, and then shook their heads in unison.

Sun Jing said: "The Fire Bull Formation is invincible against infantry, but it is difficult to say whether it is useful against mounted cavalry."

Xu Guanzhong said: "This chain of horses, thirty horses in a chain, can gather quickly or disperse quickly. It is hard to say who will win in a head-on battle with a fire-ox formation. Well... If there is no other way to deal with the enemy, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. .”

Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, and Xu Guanzhong discussed for a while, but there was no good way to defeat the enemy.

Jiang Hongfei looked at Liu Huiniang, who had never spoken a word: "Huiniang, what do you think?"

Liu Huiniang then said: "Why rush? It's him who's going to beat me, and I'm not going to beat him. Just wait and see him for three to five or seven months, and then you can find a way to win or wait until he shows his flaws before going to fight."

When Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong and others heard this, they all smiled knowingly.

The intelligence department of Shuibo Liangshan had already discovered that Hu Yanzhuo only brought 8,000 troops and no navy at all.

Facing the eight hundred miles of water, Hu Yanzhuo's eight thousand men and horses simply did not dare to divide their troops - if they were divided, they would be defeated by the Liangshan army one by one. The key point is that even if he divided his troops, just this few men and horses could not stop the water of Liangshan. people coming and going.

It can be said that if the people in Shuibo Liangshan take Hu Yanzhuo's eight thousand troops seriously, they are just a problem; if they don't take them seriously, they will have no influence on the people in Shuibo Liangshan at all.

At the beginning, Guan Sheng led an army of 15,000 people, and the cold wind blew for more than a month near Liangshan Po, but they did not make any progress. This is the best example.

Therefore, let alone Jiang Hongfei and the others, they don’t have a way to defeat Lian Ma now. Even if they do, they can avoid the battle for a while and let Hu Yanzhuo and the others rush to fight. Just like Guan Sheng and the others, they were so happy when they saw the Liangshan Army going to fight. The whole army rushed forward to die.

Although this was not the first time that everyone had seen Liu Huiniang's calmness and directness, Sun Jing and others still admired Liu Huiniang, an extremely smart woman.

At the same time, Sun Jing and others became more and more aware of why Jiang Hongfei was so eager to get Liu Huiniang and why he immediately accepted Liu Huiniang without any regard.

Since there was no rush and no one had any good ideas, Jiang Hongfei asked everyone to disperse first.

Then, Jiang Hongfei sent someone to find Tang Long.

Although Hu Yanzhuo did not bring the navy here, Shuibo Liangshan could not rush to study the method of cracking the chain horse, but the truth is, be prepared. Of course, Jiang Hongfei must first grasp a method to crack the chain horse, so that he will be foolproof.

Others don't know how to crack this chain of horses. How could Jiang Hongfei, who is familiar with Water Margin, not know?

Not long after, Tang Long arrived at Juyi Hall.

As soon as he saw Jiang Hongfei, Tang Long took the initiative and said before Jiang Hongfei could say anything:

"The elder brother did not send anyone to teach the younger brother over, so the younger brother also wanted to recommend himself. The previous dynasty used this chain of armor and horses to win. When you want to break the formation, you must use a hook, sickle and spear to break it. Tang Long's ancestral tradition has a painting here. If you want to build it This hook and sickle spear can be used immediately. However, although Tang Long can shoot this hook and sickle spear, he cannot use this hook and sickle spear. If you want to find someone who can do it, there is only one person in the world who is my uncle and brother Xu Ning. , His family has inherited the hook-and-scythe spear technique from his ancestors, and does not teach outsiders. Whether it is on horseback or on foot, there are rules, and the rules are elusive. "

Jiang Hongfei said: "I called you here for this reason." Then he asked: "After you went up the mountain, did you still have contact with Coach Xu?"

Tang Long answered truthfully: "When I first came up the mountain, I contacted him a few times, and my younger brother even brought him some gifts. But later, I was afraid of bringing trouble to his family, so we contacted him less and less. In the past two years, the relationship has become less and less. No more contact.”

Jiang Hongfei understands Tang Long's choice, which also shows that Tang Long has matured.

Jiang Hongfei said to Tang Long: "Please explain what you are doing. I will send Yan Qing, Shi Jin and Deng Fei to go with you to the capital to learn the hook, sickle and spear from Coach Xu. You tell Coach Xu that he only needs to help me water the sword." Bo Liangshan broke the Lianma, so I, Jiang Yan, owe him a favor. If he wants to be promoted, I will teach him how to be promoted. If he wants to get rich, I will teach him how to get rich. If he commits a serious crime, I will keep him safe."

Tang Long took the order and went down to make preparations.

Jiang Hongfei called Yan Qing and the others over again and said to them: "I sent you to the capital to teach you how to use the hook, sickle and spear to break the chain of horses. Don't create extraneous problems."

Yan Qing and Shi Jin are both very smart people and learn things quickly. Jiang Hongfei believes that as long as Xu Ning is willing to teach them, they will quickly learn how to use the hook and sickle gun.

——It’s just to break the chain horse. You don’t need to learn the full hook and sickle spear technique. As long as you know a simple hook and sickle spear technique, it should be enough. If it is too advanced, those minions may not be able to learn it. With Yan Qing He Shi Jin's cleverness will never fail to complete this task.

Deng Fei, on the other hand, was completely forced in by Jiang Hongfei, mainly to let him improve his abilities so that he would have more ability to protect himself in the future and be more reused by him.

As soon as Tang Long and others left Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo led his troops to Liangshan.

The next day, Hu Yanzhuo formed a formation next to Liangshan Bo. At the sound point of the three-way draw horn, he beat the war drum like a thunderous sky, and the Song army began to call for formation.

But even though Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers of the Song Army smashed the war drums, there were no Liangshan heroes like them. Even the people here in Liangshanbo had to live how they lived.

——After Guan Sheng attacked Shuibo Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo came to attack Shuibo Liangshan again. For the people here in Liangshanbo, there was really nothing to make a fuss about.

Hu Yanzhuo led an army of 8,000 people and called for formation beside Liangshan Po for three days, but no one even looked at them.

Starting from the fourth day, Hu Yanzhuo deliberately pretended to be lazy, hoping to lure the Liangshan army to attack him, and he would then fight back.

But Hu Yanzhuo pretended for three days in a row, and still no one attacked them.

Little did Hu Yanzhuo know that all their little moves would be seen through telescopes by the people in Shuibo Liangshan. His strategies that he thought were brilliant were just like children playing house in the eyes of the people in Shuibo Liangshan.

When Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen saw all this, they all smiled bitterly!

Only then did they realize that they were almost like clowns at the beginning. Once they arrived at Liangshanbo, they were destined to lose.

Hu Yanzhuo knew about Guan Sheng's experience.

Seeing that Liangshan's army was using the same methods as Guan Sheng and others to deal with them, Hu Yanzhuo also began to urinate yellow and have big bubbles all over his mouth.

——Hu Yanzhuo felt that he might follow in Guan Sheng’s footsteps.

actually--

Before Hu Yanzhuo came, he had never thought about conquering Shuibo Liangshan.

——He didn’t even have a ship, how could he destroy the Shuibo Liangshan Mountains protected by eight hundred miles of water moorings?

Moreover, Hu Yanzhuo only had 8,000 troops and wanted to destroy Shuibo Liangshan, which had 100,000 troops, 200,000 troops, horses and infantry. It was simply a dream.

Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu didn't understand military affairs, so it was reasonable to have such extravagant hopes. Hu Yanzhuo was not such a stick, so how could he not know that this was not a fair contest at all?

But then again, it was precisely because Hu Yanzhuo knew that this was an unfair contest that he led his army over.

Looking back at Hu Yanzhuo, the Liangshan Army had an absolute advantage in time, location, people and numbers in this battle, and there was really no reason to avoid the battle.

As long as the Liangshan Army dares to fight, he will use the powerful chain horses to defeat the Liangshan Army in several battles, eliminate some of the Liangshan Army's troops, and preferably capture a few leaders of the Shuibo Liangshan Army, and then use the excuse that there is no naval force to assist the battle. Lead the army to victory and triumph.

By that time, Gao Qiu had taken revenge and vented his anger. He Hu Yanzhuo had made meritorious service, received rewards, was promoted and made a fortune, and also gained Gao Qiu as a great backer, and then was reused by the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

At the same time, he Hu Yanzhuo's campaign to suppress Shuibo Liangshan came to an end. Whoever is willing to come to suppress Shuibo Liangshan will come. Anyway, he will never come again, unless the Zhao and Song court can give him a hundred thousand troops, okay, He must be given at least 50,000 to 70,000 troops, and he must have a powerful naval force, plus many ships.

However, what Hu Yanzhuo never expected was that even though the Liangshan Army had an absolute advantage, Shuibo Liangshan would still use the same tactics to deal with Guan Sheng, not allowing him to complete his small task at all. Wishful opportunity.

In this case, can Hu Yanzhuo not get angry?

As a last resort, Hu Yanzhuo imitated Zhuge Liang and sent Jiang Hongfei a piece of women's clothing.

Not to mention that there is a historical story in front of it, even if there is not, the heroes of Liangshan can also see that Hu Yanzhuo deliberately sent women's clothes to Jiang Hongfei to humiliate Jiang Hongfei in order to let Liangshan Army quickly fight with him.

This is a radical method.

But even though they knew all this, there were still many Liangshan heroes who were so angry that Hu Yanzhuo jumped up and shouted that they wanted to go to war and cut off Hu Yanzhuo's head for Jiang Hongfei.

——These Liangshan heroes also couldn’t figure it out. They clearly had an absolute advantage, so why did they avoid fighting and why did their lord still have to be humiliated by Hu Yanzhuo?

But when Jiang Hongfei saw it, he accepted it without blushing and without a beating heart. Then he smiled and said to his left and right: "What the enemy fears is what I rely on. Since he forces me to fight, how can I teach him to get his wish?" ?”

Then, Jiang Hongfei said to the envoy sent by Hu Yanzhuo: "Go back and tell Hu Yanzhuo that originally I was only going to leave him alone for three or two months, but now, I'm afraid I have to go for half a year."

When the messenger went back and told Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!

There is still half a year, another half month, if he still has no results at all, Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu and his ministers will not tolerate him, and may even accuse him of dereliction of duty.

"What should we do?!!!" Hu Yanzhuo was completely at his wits' end.

That night, Ling Zhen was ordered to arrange a thousand red cannons that he, Jiang Hongfei and Liu Huiniang were studying together in the small village on Duckbill Beach, and then he would personally calibrate them one by one with a telescope. Good sight.

At ten o'clock in the second watch, when Huyanzhuo's Song troops were sleeping most soundly, these thousand red cannons fired in unison!

Immediately, a thousand artillery shells were seen cutting through the silent night like a meteor shower and covering Hu Yanzhuo's military camp.

Due to the previous strategy of neglecting the enemy, and the fact that Hu Yanzhuo never expected that the Liangshan Army could attack them across 800 miles of water, they did not take any precautions in this regard.

As a result, these thousand artillery pieces caught Hu Yanzhuo and the others by surprise. In just one attack, the Song army suffered hundreds of casualties.

This is because the Song army soldiers under Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi are well-trained and react quickly. They used spiritual energy shields to defend themselves as soon as they were attacked. Otherwise, their casualties would definitely be greater. .

The next day, Hu Yanzhuo quickly led his army to retreat ten miles.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yanzhuo and the others were bombarded again that night.

After Hu Yanzhuo sent someone to investigate, he found out that the people in Shuibo Liangshan had actually installed these red cannons on their boats. As long as they were within a certain range of Liangshanbo, they would be attacked by the Liangshan Army's artillery.

Later, Hu Yanzhuo led his army to withdraw to a place twenty miles away from Liangshanbo, where it was considered safer.

But even so, the Liangshan Army still bombarded Hu Yanzhuo's military camp day and night every day.

——If the Song Army was on high alert, the Liangshan Army would fake bombardment. If they dared to relax, the Liangshan Army would push the red cannon ashore and really bombard Hu Yanzhuo's camp. And if Hu Yanzhuo dared to lead a large army to capture Ling Zhen. And the Shenji Army in Liangshan, they will be ambushed by the Liangshan Army.

In short, the Liangshan Army did not fight head-on with Hu Yanzhuo's troops, but continued to harass Hu Yanzhuo's troops, making them unable to eat or sleep well.

Seeing this, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but feel envious of Guan Sheng. After all, Guan Sheng could still rest well at that time, but it was a luxury hope for them to get a good night's sleep.

Now, Hu Yanzhuo could only kneel down and beg the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that Jiang Hongfei would show mercy and send the Liangshan Army to fight with him.

But what Hu Yanzhuo didn't know was that no gods or Buddhas heard his prayers.

On the contrary, because something happened to Xu Ning, whom Jiang Hongfei used to defeat his serial horse, his battle with the Liangshan Army had to be postponed.

The key point is that before Jiang Hongfei left Shuibo Liangshan, he specifically told Xu Guanzhong who stayed behind: "When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue. In short, tell Ling Zhen and others that they must not teach Hu Yanzhuo." They stopped..."
