In the following period, both sides continued to attack and defend, but the scale was much smaller than before. Liangshan would send some soldiers and horses to attack the high wall in a certain direction of Zhujiazhuang every day, trying to break through, but every time, they would encounter strong resistance from the Qingzhou Army, and they would often end in failure, and instead suffer losses as a result. Many soldiers and horses.
During this period, the people in Zhujiazhuang also truly saw the powerful combat power of the Qingzhou Army. Although there are only a hundred people guarding the wall, they can exert great power. Even if there are three to four hundred Liangshan soldiers and horses who attack, they can be easily repelled. This is not only a manifestation of combat power, but also a tactical victory. .
The hundreds of Qingzhou troops on the high walls on each side were able to stick to their posts according to their status. The archers, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen all cooperated according to their respective characteristics. Under the orders of some officers, they appeared extremely Due to the tacit understanding, even if the enemy came to the front, they could not make any change in their formation. Even if the sword was cut in front of them, the soldiers still performed their duties without flinching at all.
And other cooperating comrades can often quickly rescue and attack at this critical moment, allowing their companions to save the day and then kill the enemy.
Trust and discipline, these are the two most important principles that everyone in Zhujiazhuang came to after witnessing the Qingzhou Army's combat methods. These two points are simple to say, but it is extremely difficult for hundreds of people to follow them without any compromise even if their lives are threatened. At least in the eyes of the Zhu family, Zhuang Shang and others, as well as Jeju It is absolutely impossible for the officers and soldiers to do this.
Not to mention, after repelling Liangshan's attacks several times, the Qingzhou Army deliberately used a flaw on the morning of the 16th to trick hundreds of Liangshan bandits into entering the high wall. But just when the other party was surprised that they were about to break through Zhujiazhuang, they suddenly burst out with powerful combat power and killed all the thieves who entered the village rashly. As a result, the thieves were so frightened that they immediately retreated and did not dare to attack again the next day. They were obviously frightened by the fierce killing method of the Qingzhou Army.
Confidence, self-confidence forged by one's own strength, was the final conclusion reached by the Zhu family and others. When they looked at the Qingzhou Army and Sun Tu, who had created this iron-blooded elite, everyone's eyes were filled with awe. No wonder the three mountain bandits in Qingzhou were wiped out one after another. This was not only because of the martial arts of Lin Chong and others under Sun Tu, but also because he had forged a truly elite army!
On the 17th, Liangshan did not invade again. Looking at the opponent's quiescent appearance from a distance, Zhu's father and son and Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Tu and others with admiration: "It seems that this time I will Zhujiazhuang again." No worries. This time it’s really thanks to Sun Dujian who sent troops to rescue him in time, otherwise I wish thousands of people in our village would be killed by thieves... "
"Haha, it's a little early for some of you to say this. After all, the thieves have no intention of retreating yet. If my prediction is correct, maybe their reinforcements will arrive. Once this happens, Zhujiazhuang will still be in danger. In the environment." Sun Tu said this meaningfully while looking at the peaceful Liangshan camp under the post.
"Indeed, I also noticed that the behavior of the Liangshan bandits in the past few days is a bit strange. This kind of tactics based on harassment and entanglement is indeed very contrary to their previous purpose. Not to mention that they have to have many things every day.
Even if there are no casualties, it would be quite disadvantageous for them to drag it out like this. Zhu Long also frowned deeply and said: "Then according to Sun Dujian's wishes, how should we deal with it?" "
"We must try to inflict heavy losses on them. Only by causing them heavy losses and killing more people can the thieves dare not stay here anymore and dare not attack Zhujiazhuang lightly again." Sun Tu said, scanning a few of them. Asked: "I wonder how many kerosene, spirits and other fire-starting and fueling things are in Zhujiazhuang now?"
"Um... Sun Dujian wants to use them to defeat the enemy?" Zhu Long asked hesitantly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Standing around all the time is not the answer. It's time to take the initiative and lead them into a trap." Sun Tu said with a strange light in his eyes. Even though he had some good feelings for the Liangshan heroes before, but when it comes to assisting Zhujiazhuang this time, especially after killing Wang Ying before, the two sides have long been fighting to the death, so he simply kills them, and there is no need to worry anymore. . They are just a bunch of thieves, do they really think they are some kind of heroes
Some time ago, Sun Tu had carefully thought about how he should treat the so-called heroes on Liangshan Mountain. After thinking about it carefully, I found that my thinking was disturbed by the stance of the book Water Margin. In fact, in this world, the so-called Liangshan heroes are not heroes at all.
Of course, some of the one hundred and eight leaders were forced to go to Liangshan out of desperation, but were they really innocent? The hands of these people have not been stained with the blood of innocent people. They dominate the mountain and are kings. They do not produce anything, but they have to feed thousands of people. What do they rely on? Aren't they just looting everywhere and killing the local people
If you look at it from the perspective of these people, it is really enjoyable to drink from a big bowl, eat large pieces of meat, and weigh gold and silver in a cottage. But these wealth were robbed from the government and the people. For this reason, they may have killed many innocent people. Can't those people ask for justice
So no matter what kind of justified slogans they add to their robbery, it cannot change the fact that they are robbers. As the governor of Qingzhou, isn't it natural for me to lead the army to kill thieves and steal
Not to mention that the leaders on Liangshan Mountain also have many insidious and cruel people, such as Li Kui, who is not very capable but very murderous. He killed dozens of innocent people in Jiangzhou alone; he looted countless people on Qingfeng Mountain and also likes Wang Ying and others who preyed on people's hearts and drank wine... To say that these people are heroes is really an insult to the title of heroes.
It was precisely because he had figured this out that Sun Tu didn't hesitate when he killed Wang Ying before, and he just killed him. Because in his eyes now, these people are just a group of robbers who do all kinds of evil.
When Sun Tu revealed his overall plan with murderous intent, everyone in the Zhu family showed embarrassment: "In this case, my Zhu family village will have no danger to defend in the future..."
"As long as we can defeat the enemy and kill the Liangshan bandits, I think it is reasonable to pay a certain price. Besides, after this battle, is the danger that Zhujiazhuang relied on really useful?" Sun Tu had his own thoughts.
Several people looked at each other and fell into deep thought for a moment. It was not so easy to make this decision.
￥￥￥￥
While everyone in Zhujiazhuang was planning a counterattack, Song Jiang and others in Liangshan Camp were also discussing the next war. After several days of attack and defense, they were indeed afraid of them. Liangshan had limited troops and horses. During this period, there were nearly 500 casualties. This was really a big blow to them.
"Brother, if this stalemate continues, it will only make us more passive. Maybe the Qingzhou officers and soldiers will dare to come out of the village directly. We have to think of a proper way." When Dai Zong talked about this, he also After gaining the approval of others, everyone looked at Song Jiang with sad faces.
When Song Jiang saw this, he also sighed in his heart. After all, the mountain village is not an army. It's okay to say that everything goes smoothly. Once the situation goes bad, many people will want to quit.
But at this time, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he must not retreat: "Brothers, don't worry, our reinforcements will arrive soon. Then we will attack Zhujiazhuang in a large scale. This time we will definitely be able to break the village and show our power in Liangshan." . Otherwise, if we stop here, wouldn’t all those brothers die in vain?”
"But when will the reinforcements arrive? It's been a long time, why haven't the military advisors sent someone here yet?" Someone murmured in a low voice below, which made the mood in the tent drop again.
Just when Song Jiang didn't know how to respond to these remarks, a burst of cheers came from outside the tent: "Reinforcements, reinforcements from our Liangshan brothers have arrived!"
Hearing this, the faces of Song Jiang and others changed, especially him, who was full of surprise. He immediately stood up and strode out: "Quick, go and greet me!" This was really a timely help, if If the reinforcements arrive later, he will almost be unable to withstand the pressure from the people below.
When they came out of the tent, they saw an army of more than a thousand people from the rear approaching slowly and vigorously. The flag in front of them was the flag of Liang Shanbo, and behind them was the flag of Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, but it was his flag. He personally led his troops to help.
When the army arrived in front of the camp, Song Jiang had already led his brothers to wait there. When he saw Wu Yong, he smiled bitterly and clasped his fists: "Commander, you are finally here... Now that Zhujiazhuang has official and military assistance, we want to break the village." But it’s much more difficult.”
"Brother, don't worry. Now that the younger brother is here, he will naturally have a clever strategy to attack Zhujiazhuang." Wu Yong said with a smile as he dismounted and saluted. And after seeing that there were far fewer soldiers and horses in the military camp, and half of the people were injured, something strange flashed in his eyes. The casualties this time were more serious than he thought.
"Quickly, go to the tent and talk in detail first. A military advisor has made a plan for us. We will definitely be able to attack Zhujiazhuang this time." As Song Jiang said, he had already pulled Wu Yong inside, and the other people's faces looked like this. Shi Ye showed excitement again, and it seemed that he would soon be able to avenge his dead brothers.
The movement here was immediately noticed by Sun Tu and others in the village. The Zhu family father and son, who were still a little hesitant about making sacrifices, now made up their minds: "Sun Dujian, the thieves are powerful. , if we can really defeat the thief in one fell swoop, even if I abandon my entire manor, we won’t have a single complaint!”
"Oh?" Sun Tu glanced at them thoughtfully, and secretly thought about something. Maybe they could get it right and give the Liangshan bandits a heavy blow at the cost of destroying Zhujiazhuang.
