Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Yun Tianbiao had only more than 10,000 horses left and was surrounded by nearly 100,000 Liangshan troops in front of the Wei River. There was no way to the sky and no way to the earth. It could be said that he was already in a death struggle.

Moreover, Zhen Xianglin burned a lot of Yuntianbiao's food and grass.

This sudden killing made Yun Tianbiao and the others tremble with fear, and they didn't know where Hua Rong and Luan Tingyu's men suddenly broke into their camp.

Afterwards, Yun Tianbiao sent someone to check carefully.

As a result, there were dozens of terrains behind the middle camp and in the enclosure of the right camp, enough for four horses to ride abreast.

It turns out that these bases were tunnels dug in advance by the people from Yuanbi Village. Chen Xizhen and the others must have dug the tunnels in advance, knowing that Yuntianbiao and the others would camp here.

An investigation revealed that they lost more than 6,000 people and fled in this battle, and burned countless supplies and equipment.

Fortunately, Yun Tianbiao stabilized the Zhongying and Zuoying, so they would not be completely wiped out.

Yun Tianbiao was furious: "How dare Chen Xizhen, an old beast, do this?!"

At this time, the scouts who explored the road came back and reported: "After Chen Xizhen's three battalions of soldiers and horses were victorious, they crossed the river with their strongholds. The place where they camped was just an open space with nothing."

Feng Hui said in surprise: "These guys didn't prepare a boat or build a pontoon, but how could they cross so fast?"

The other Song generals were also puzzled!

Yun Tianbiao, who had more dealings with the Liangshan Army, answered this question for the Song generals: "There are some people among the Liangshan thieves who have extremely high spiritual talent for physical properties. When they awakened their spiritual power, they were trained to become flying bridges." People, they can build flying bridges in the air, making it extremely convenient to attack cities and cross rivers.”

After listening to Yun Tianbiao's explanation, all the Song generals suddenly realized!

The next day, Yun Tianbiao, who was desperate, sent people to cross the Wei River until Chen Xizhen issued a letter of challenge in his camp, expressing his desire to have a fair fight with Chen Xizhen.

Chen Xizhen agreed to cross the river to fight one day, and wrote at the end of the book: "Last night, Xiaosheng, the old man, took charge of the game and teased me. Fortunately, don't mind."

Yun Tianbiao was furious and said to his left and right: No matter the bloody battle tomorrow, Chen Xizhen will definitely be defeated and cross the Wei River.

The next day, Yuntianbiao organized his troops and waited in formation on the west bank of the Wei River, but Chen Xizhen did not go out to fight.

Waiting until noon, Yuntianbiao went to urge her, and Chen Xizhen wrote back to accuse him: "I just got the news that my daughter is pregnant again thanks to the favor of my lord. Today is the second month of the month, and we have a wine celebration in our village. We have no time to fight, so we broke the appointment." , hope to reschedule tomorrow."

Yun Tianbiao was extremely angry. How could he not know that he had been tricked by Chen Xizhen? Chen Xizhen was obviously waiting for Xiao Jiasui to come forward to encircle them and annihilate all of their more than 10,000 men?

This made many Song generals furious and said loudly: "Why don't you cross the river, are you afraid of him?!"

Even the good-tempered Feng Hui said: "Brothers are absolutely right."

Yun Tianbiao shook his head: "Don't be hasty when facing the enemy, and don't be hasty when facing an enemy. It's hard to win with haste, and you'll be defeated if you're hasty. Many military strategists in ancient times made this mistake and were defeated. How can you make the same mistake? Let's temporarily suspend our anger. Think long term. Yun is not talented, so we must devise a plan to defeat him!"

After hearing this, all the Song generals had no choice but to endure the situation and withdraw their troops back to the camp.

Another day later, Yun Tianbiao sent troops to the west bank again and sent people to challenge Chen Xizhen, but there was still no movement.

Until the afternoon, Chen Xizhen approved the letter of war and said: "Since General Manager Yun is good at using troops, why not cross the east coast to decide the outcome? If an old man is half-crossed and invites attack, he is not a husband."

All the Song generals were furious and said to Yun Tianbiao: "This traitor has bullied me too much. How should I defeat him?"

Yun Tianbiao said: "This guy bullied me into not daring to cross the river. I just built a pontoon bridge and pretended to be ready to cross. I still divided the troops and horses into two groups, my uncle led one group, and quietly crossed over from Huangye Village in Shangliutou tonight. I found out that there were hundreds of stoves in that village, most of which were fishermen. The water was still shallow and there were many fishing boats, which could be borrowed as pontoons. But one must leave another soldier to shoot towards the shore before they could cross. Once they reached the other shore , first occupy a favorable position, set up camp, and then go to battle. I will lead a group of people to march from here. We will support both sides, and this river can be crossed."

All the Song generals were very happy after hearing this.

At dusk that day, the wind would take half of the men and horses to Huangye Village. Yun Tianbiao used half of the men and horses to hold down the river mouth and urged the sergeants to build a pontoon bridge to pretend to cross the river.

That night Fenghui led his troops to Huangye Village and sent scouts to the village first to tell the people: "Don't be frightened. I am only using this to cross the river and will never bother the village. Everyone should be quiet. Anyone who acts rashly will be killed immediately."

After Feng Hui led half of his men to Huangye Village, he sent people to borrow the fishing boats of many fishermen to build a pontoon bridge under the moonlight.

At the second watch, it was already over.

The wind will leave a thousand crossbowmen to shoot at the shore, and they will cross the east bank of the Wei River with other people and horses. Sure enough, neither gods nor ghosts will notice.

Feng Hui was very happy, and secretly sent out orders. Everyone held their coins in their mouths, and the horses all restrained their mouths, and went down the river to welcome them.

After walking for five or seven miles, it was almost midnight. Fenghui found out that the location was favorable, and the soldiers and horses lived near the mountains and rivers.

Feng Hui said to a group of Song generals: "I have set up camp here, and Chen Xizhen can't hold on to find a plan. Now that he has entered the interior, he will seize several more dangerous places, and Manager Yun will provide support. Even if this guy can't Defeated?! All brothers will work hard with me tomorrow!!!"

All the generals of the Song Army happily accepted the promise.

Feng Hui was ordering the soldiers to move mud and stones, dig trenches, and set up camps. Suddenly, they heard a cannon flying into the clouds in the middle of the mountain. There were loud shouts from all directions, and the Liangshan Army troops were coming from all over the mountain!

Feng Hui was frightened and led the Song army to meet the enemy in a hurry.

There were two confrontations and a melee all night long.

When the battle came to dawn, only Feng Hui led five or six hundred men to gather and shoot the one thousand crossbowmen at the port and returned to Yun Tianbiao. The remaining four to five thousand men were completely wiped out by the Liangshan Army led by Cao Zheng.

Returning to Yun Tianbiao, Feng Hui learned that the floating bridge at the mouth of the river had been burned down by Chen Xizhen last night. Liangshan's army also used a flying bridge to cross the river to rob the camp. Due to Yuntianbiao's tight defense, he only lost less than a thousand men and horses.

Fenghui returned to Dazhai, and Yun Tianbiao joined.

Feng Hui said to Yun Tianbiao: "The thieves fought with me all night, and almost all of our troops were wiped out. It must be Xiao Jiasui and Cao Zheng who sent Cao Zheng from the Zhangjiadao Pass to the other side to ambush our troops. Now we are surrounded. If we don’t find a way, we will all be eaten by them, what should we do?”

Yun Tianbiao said: "For the current plan, the only way to have a chance of survival is to make a desperate effort to cross the Wei River. If it lasts for a long time, the food and grass are not available, and the soldiers and horses are old, we are afraid that we will all be trapped here."

What Yun Tianbiao didn't expect was that the breakout strategy he formulated met with many different opinions.

Some said that forcing a river crossing to break out was their only chance.

However, more generals of the Song Army believed that forcing a river crossing to break out was asking for death.

Even Feng Hui, who had always been obedient to Yun Tianbiao, was silent at this time.

This is actually normal.

The reason why Yun Tianbiao responded to everything before was because Yun Tianbiao always won, which meant that he had no plans left.

But now, Yun Tianbiao first defeated the 50,000 to 60,000 troops in Zhengyi Village and Qingzhen Mountain, and then suffered defeats one after another, leaving them with only eight or nine thousand troops.

The key point is that the nearly 100,000 Liangshan army has obviously surrounded the eight or nine thousand defeated generals.

The key point is that at this critical moment of life and death, Yun Tianbiao's idea was to forcibly cross the river to break out of the encirclement.

Even those who are not familiar with the art of war know that if they forcefully cross the river, they will definitely be attacked by the Liangshan army who are halfway across the river.

And even if half of them make it to the other side, who knows how many people the Liangshan Army has ambushed on the other side?

You know, both Xiao Jiasui and Chen Xizhen are masters of military warfare. How could the two of them let such ducks fly away?

Just when a group of Song generals were quarreling, someone came to report that more than 300 soldiers rushed out of the camp and fled towards the Liangshan Army in the rear. They should have surrendered to the enemy.

And this is just the beginning.

Before dark, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Song Army fled one after another and went to join the Liangshan Army.

Yun Tianbiao didn't stop him too much.

First, there were too many Song soldiers who wanted to surrender to the enemy, and he simply could not stop them. If he had to stop them, civil strife would have to break out first, and by then, the Liangshan Army would be able to annihilate them all.

Secondly, in fact, Yun Tianbiao himself felt that his breakout was a disaster, and it would be good if three to five hundred people could escape through the siege of Liangshan Army in the end.

So when disaster strikes, let’s all fly away.

At night, Yun Tianbiao led more than 4,000 troops to forcefully cross the river.

As expected, Chen Xizhen broke his promise and invited an attack halfway across the river. He used more than 10,000 divine-arm archers to shoot and kill the Song army soldiers who forcibly crossed the river.

Under the moonlight, most of the Song army died in the Wei River. The river water was dyed red with blood, which turned the blurry moon in the river into a blood moon.

Yun Tianbiao and Feng Hui led less than two thousand Song army soldiers to cross the Wei River with great difficulty, but were shot and killed again by the Liangshan army.

Yun Tianbiao, Feng Hui and other masters in the Song army no longer hid this time. They all used their spiritual power to fight their way out and lead the remaining firepower to escape from the encirclement of the Liangshan army.

At this time, Yun Tianbiao and Feng Hui, who were on the line between life and death, were too fierce and could not be stopped by ordinary soldiers. Several leaders of Yuanbi Village were repelled by them.

Fortunately, Hua Rong and Luan Tingyu led the Ma Fifth Army and Ma Sixth Army to cross the river through the flying bridge in time, and then covered up and killed the remaining defeated generals from behind.

Soon, Hua Rong caught up with Feng Hui, and Luan Tingyu caught up with Yun Tianbiao.

Four horses intertwined, swords and guns raised simultaneously.

When the fight reaches fifty, Hua Rong turns around and walks away, and Feng Hui chases after him subconsciously.

Hua Rong turned around and shot an arrow, right at Feng Hui's throat.

On the other side, Chen Xizhen felt that Luan Tingyu might not be able to defeat Yun Tianbiao, so he straightened up his snake spear and went up to fight Luan Tingyu.

After the three of them fought for more than ten rounds, Luan Tingyu saw an opportunity when the horse was wrong, and hit Yun Tianbiao right in the back with a flying hammer.

Chen Xizhen rushed over and stabbed Yun Tianbiao to death with a spear.

Seeing that their leader was dead, the remaining Song army soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

Chen Xizhen cut off Yun Tianbiao's head with his own hands, then rushed it to Shuibo Liangshan to hand it over to Jiang Hongfei, and asked Jiang Hongfei for instructions from other people on what to do next.

After Jiang Hongfei received the head of the hypocrite Yun Tianbiao, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to send the head to Gao Qiu.

At the same time, Jiang Hongfei ordered Xiao Jiasui to continue to govern Shandong and take charge of Shandong's military and political affairs. Yuanbi Village was guarded by Cao Zheng, who led Bu Sanjun and the garrison of Yuanbi Village and Qingyuntian. Chen Xizhen led the men and horses of Yuanbi Village together with Ma Wujun and Ma The Sixth Army took prisoners together and came to Shuibo Liangshan to participate in the battle.

It is worth mentioning that at this point, Jiang Hongfei has eliminated the last hidden danger in his territory and is fully qualified to start a war with the Song Army.

After Gao Qiu received Yun Tianbiao's head, he was extremely shocked. He never expected that before he formally fought with Jiang Hongfei, Jiang Hongfei first killed the 70,000 to 80,000 troops under Shandong Zhenfu General Zhang Ji, and then killed him again this time. Yun Tianbiao had an army of 70,000 to 80,000 men, but Chen Xizhen had no news at all.

Undoubtedly, this gave Gao Qiu a big blow.

Let’s talk about the Song army in Shijiedu and other departments.

Since arriving at Xingren Mansion, the Song Army and Xu Huai Department of Shijiedu and others have been constantly challenging the Liangshan Army.

But the Liangshan Army never read back, so they relied on the natural danger of Liangshanbo, eight hundred miles away, to delay.

Jiang Hongfei did nothing?

How can it be!

Taking advantage of this period, not to mention that Jiang Hongfei killed Zhang Ji's 780,000 to 80,000 troops and Yun Tianbiao's 70 to 80,000 troops and broke both of Gao Qiu's arms. During this period, Liangshan's army defeated more than a dozen troops in Hebei. Several prefectures and dozens of counties have controlled more than half of Hebei. It is not difficult to see that time is here in Shuibo Liangshan...

…

Due to its proximity to Shuibo Liangshan and the fact that Xingren magistrate Zhang Qian did have some talents, Xingren Prefecture was richer than most areas controlled by the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

This also led to the birth of some folk leisure activities in Xingren Mansion.

And cockfighting is one of them.

Moreover, cockfighting is one of the favorite activities of people in Xingren Prefecture. There are also two cockfighting ceremonies every year, that is, a grand cockfighting competition is held in spring and autumn.

If someone's fighting cock can get a good ranking in the cockfighting competition, it will win a very generous reward.

With the holding of the cockfighting competition, all the businesses on the street, such as selling medicine, selling divination, drinking old clothes, exploring fortunes, catering, shaving, paper painting, and singing songs, can be brought to life.

In this way, it is like a prosperous age.

Undoubtedly, this cockfighting competition will help promote the economy of Xingren Prefecture.

It is precisely because of this that successive prefects of Xingren Prefecture have encouraged this kind of activity. Sometimes the prefects and dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry of Xingren Prefecture will also participate in this flourishing event.

Of course, because of the war with Shuibo Liangshan this year, Zhang Ge did not participate in the cockfighting competition in person.

But this cockfighting competition was only held with Zhang Gao's consent.

Therefore, although this year's situation is somewhat special, the cockfighting competition will still be held as usual.

However, what no one expected was that while the people of Xingren Mansion were having a cockfight in full swing, more than 3,000 Song Army soldiers suddenly came and surrounded the entire cockfighting ground.

The people who were happily watching the cockfight immediately became panicked.

The leading Song general was heard shouting: "According to the order of Taiwei Jun, from now on, the conquest army will collect food and grass on the spot. All the chickens here are used for military purposes. Anyone who dares to stop me will be dealt with according to the military law!"

Since the Song army, especially the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army led by Gao Qiu, came to Xingren Prefecture, they did not go to fight the Liangshan Army. Instead, they first ate all the pigs, sheep, chickens and geese raised by the good people, and then had to send them away, otherwise they would not After eating up all the people's homes, they will definitely not leave.

This makes the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

The common people secretly said: "They are all thieves in official clothes. The officials are plundering the land in my Xingren Mansion. These low-level officers are fighting in the autumn wind outside the city. When will the heroes of Liangshan come over and kill these people?" Kill all the damn thieves."

However, in the past, these Song troops would just plunder outside the city, but now they have the audacity to enter the city to steal the cocks for the cockfighting competition.

Some dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry who felt they had some status came forward to speak kindly to General Song and said, "Master, this is our fighting cock, not a broiler chicken. You can't eat it, and we have a cockfighting competition." It’s something the Yamen will handle…”

General Song smiled coldly: "The chicken you are serving doesn't have meat on it? The meat on it is military rations. Are you talking to grandpa? Get out, or grandpa will kill you!"

After saying this, General Song kicked the man whose identity was unusual to the ground!

Then, the Song general waved his hand, and the Song soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, ignored the pleading people and went up to snatch their fighting cocks.

In an instant, everything went crazy, and the prosperous age suddenly turned into the apocalypse.

Shi Jiedu, who was sitting in a restaurant not far away, sighed in unison when he saw this scene!

——They don’t understand how the Zhao and Song dynasties became like this. Can these dying people still save this dynasty full of problems?

…
