The arrival of thousands of reinforcements obviously gave the Liangshan bandits confidence to win. On January 18, they once again launched a massive attack on Zhujiazhuang. Although they were forcefully blocked by the Qingzhou Army and Zhujiazhuang people, they fought fiercely until the night. The decline shown before was not seen at all. Judging from this posture, with their greatly increased troops, they planned to use their strength to crush Zhujiazhuang.
This really put a lot of pressure on the two defenders of Zhujiazhuang. In just one day, the Qingzhou Army suffered nearly fifty casualties, and several sections of the manor's high wall were destroyed. If Lin Chong, Wu Song and others hadn't been at the critical moment, The constant rush of killings has acted like a needle in the sea. I am afraid that at least one of the high walls will be completely broken.
That night, everyone in Zhujiazhuang was anxious. Zhu Long even sighed and said that he missed the opportunity to seriously injure the thief because of his hesitation, and then went to see Sun Tu specifically and proposed to do as he said.
After Sun Tu thought about it, he agreed. That night, hundreds of villagers from Zhujiazhuang went out quietly. Under the cover of darkness, they made corresponding preparations in the Ecstasy Forest.
By dawn the next day, Sun Tu and the others had climbed to the high platform early and looked at the Liangshan camp below, waiting for them to launch another offensive. Sure enough, around Chen time, another burst of drums and trumpets resounded throughout the world, and Liangshan once again sent thousands of troops to prepare for the attack. They would obey the order and rush over again at any time.
But just as Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and thought about when to launch a counterattack, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared in the distance, rolling towards Dulonggang at an extremely fast speed. They were located just to the side of the Liangshan Camp. , its power was not small, and it immediately posed a threat to the Liangshan Military Camp.
"Is this... have we arrived again with reinforcements?" Everyone in the Zhu family felt excited and cheered after being stunned for a moment. Just by looking at the banners of the other party, we can tell that they are definitely not bandits. It must be a certain group of officers and soldiers who came to the rescue like the Qingzhou Army after learning that Zhujiazhuang was attacked by Liangshan bandits.
Even Sun Tu was stunned when he saw this team of two to three hundred people rushing towards him, and then showed a surprised smile: "I didn't expect that there are such responsible generals in Shandong Province who can lead the army. Come to help, so why worry about not being able to protect Zhujiazhuang and defeat the Liangshan bandits!"
At this point, he suddenly drew his knife in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, take this opportunity to kill and disrupt the bandit camp! Kill!"
"Kill!" The Qingzhou troops who were originally guarding the three high walls all roared in response, and then descended the wall one after another. After gathering into a team, they rushed to the main gate of Zhuangzi under the leadership of Sun Tu and other generals. The gatekeepers over there were also Qingzhou troops. Upon seeing this, they quickly opened the door. More than two hundred Qingzhou troops roared like fierce tigers and rushed out with murderous intent.
This scene made everyone in Zhujiazhuang stay on the spot. They really didn't expect that the arrival of a supporting army would make the Qingzhou Army explode with such a strong momentum, and they would even dare to attack the opponent with 10% of the enemy's strength. It's camp.
They didn't know that the stubborn defense in the past few days had made the Qingzhou Army extremely frustrated. In the past, they had been the main attacker, and they had never been beaten to the point of defense. Given the opportunity to counterattack today, they naturally all fought bravely and fought to take the lead.
Originally, the Liangshan Army wanted to delay the attack when they saw a supporting army coming from the side.
They were trying to stop the strangulation, but they had just mobilized their troops and had not yet rushed out of the camp. Suddenly, the gate of Zhujiazhuang, which they had been guarding for many days, opened, and hundreds of Qingzhou elites rushed in like wolves and tigers. This frightened them. Not taking it lightly, they quickly sent out soldiers and horses to stop him again.
In such a hurry, the momentum of the Liangshan Army that came forward to fight was not as good as before. The seven or eight hundred people who were blocking the front only collided head-on with the Qingzhou Army, and dozens of them were shot over by continuous crossbow arrows. Then the entire line of defense was broken through by the Qingzhou Army in the blink of an eye, heading straight towards the Chinese army's main stronghold.
At this time, even Wu Yong and Song Jiang felt frightened, and quickly mobilized troops to surround and kill them from three sides. Adding up the two times, the Liangshan army that was killed was 1,500 people, almost except for the soldiers and horses who stayed in the village. In addition, they have used all the available men and horses.
The Liangshan Army had indeed given Sun Tu and the others enough face, and almost used all their strength to surround and kill more than two hundred Qingzhou Army. For this reason, they did not even pay attention to the government reinforcements that rushed towards them. After seeing this change, the latter was obviously stunned for a moment. After a while, they decisively moved towards Zhujiazhuang. There is a strong intention not to fight with the Liangshan Army.
And just when the Liangshan army was encircling on three sides, trying to encircle and annihilate the Qingzhou Army, this seemingly murderous and indomitable army team suddenly drew a beautiful arc and made a sharp turn before confronting the enemy. Finally, they returned to the forest closely behind the reinforcements who had already approached the Confused Forest.
As a result, the Liangshan Army who was charging and encircling them was completely defeated. It would be difficult for them to readjust their direction and reorganize the encirclement. The most they could do was to rush over with the officers and soldiers behind them, and launch a powerful attack on Zhujiazhuang again. offensive!
It's hard to tell whether this move was true or false. It was clearly meant to break into the formation, but in fact it was meant to receive reinforcements. The killing method really caught everyone off guard. Not to mention the Liangshan Army and the people in Zhujiazhuang who were still stunned at this time, even the government reinforcements and even the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were also a little confused at this time. Didn't we agree that we were going to have a decisive battle with the thief? Why did we just go back with a false shot
Only Sun Tu had a determined smile on his face at this time, looking back at the Liangshan Army behind him from time to time, waiting for them to chase them, so that he might be able to give them a severe blow. In fact, when he led his army out of the village, his idea was to receive reinforcements and lure the enemy into the woods. As for forcing a head-on battle with ten times the enemy, he was not crazy, let alone a fool. How could he possibly do it? What about this matter of throwing an egg against a stone
No matter how powerful the Qingzhou Army is, they are still made of flesh and blood, and they are not yet strong enough to fight one against ten. What's more, for the sake of Zhujiazhuang, he couldn't take big risks and pay a huge price for many elites to die here. The determination he showed just now was just to confuse the enemy.
Of course, this move alone can clearly show the strength of the Qingzhou Army. It is impossible for any other army and horse to achieve such a sudden change of tactics without any hindrance in the movement of the entire army. These two hundred people were the elite of the Qingzhou Army, and they only obeyed Sun Tu's orders. Therefore, even at that moment when they heard Sun Tu's order to change direction, turn around and retreat, these soldiers did not hesitate at all. He quickly entered the forest before Liang Shanjun could react.
After being stunned for a while, the Liangshan Army realized that they had been fooled. The leaders yelled and cursed and wanted to lead their troops into the woods, continue to chase the Qingzhou Army, and attack Zhujiazhuang by the way. But just when they changed direction and were about to launch a new round of offensive, there was a sound of gold from the camp, which actually ordered them to withdraw their troops and return to the camp!
This made Lu Fang, Yan Shun and others who wanted revenge a little dissatisfied. However, after hesitating for a while, they finally did not dare to disobey the military order. They could only stay angrily for a while and quickly withdraw their troops.
Sun Tu, who had already joined forces with the reinforcements and directed them to go around from the Ecstasy Forest to Zhujiazhuang, frowned when he saw this scene: "These guys are quite cautious. Could it be that they have seen something?" Is there a problem?" As he said that, he glanced at the newly erected flags over there. One of them was clearly the flag of Zhiduoxing Wuyong. Could it be that Liangshanbo's number one think tank saw a problem, so he did it? Retreat in time.
"But so what? You will always come to attack Zhujiazhuang, and you will suffer a lot when the time comes." After turning these thoughts in his mind, Sun Tu and the others entered Zhujiazhuang safely.
Only then did Sun Tu pay attention to this team of about 300 people. These people all looked very tough, especially the few men in front of them. They were all burly and fierce, and there was actually a man among them. The tall, thick-set woman with a fleshy face was looking at herself up and down with a pair of big eyes.
"Which state capital are you soldiers from?" Sun Tu said after a long while.
"Sun Li has met Sun Dujian when he went to Dengzhou to take charge. You should be Sun Dujian of Qingzhou, right?" The tall general with a yellow complexion and the leader said with a smile and clasped his fists.
After hearing this person announcing his family status, Sun Tu's eyebrows quickly raised, but he quickly returned to normal, smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "It turns out that it's Your Majesty Sun Ti who is known as Sick Yuchi, but I have admired your name for a long time. "
"Don't dare, don't dare. In terms of reputation in Shandong now, who can compare with Sun Dujian who wiped out three bandit lairs in Qingzhou." Sun Li said humbly. At this time, everyone else came over, and they informed each other of their names. The newly arrived officers and soldiers were none other than the Dengzhou Xiang Army. There were many good players among them, such as Sun Li's brother Sun Xin, Sun Xin's wife Gu Fang, and a pair of brothers. Xie Zhen Xie Bao, and his uncle and nephew Zou Yuan and Zou Run...
When everyone came to greet them, Sun Tu's eyes flickered. If Sun Li was the only one who led the army and he didn't dare to confirm, now he can be 100% sure that these people came to Zhujiazhuang. What’s more, they are the ones sent by the Liangshan bandits to cooperate inside and outside!
At the same time, in the Liangshan camp, Wu Yongzheng shook his feather fan gently, looking confident and full of wisdom: "Brothers, don't be angry. Although we suffered a small loss today, we will soon be able to let Zhu The enemies in the village have tasted the bitter consequences of the defeat. They would never have thought that this Dengzhou officer army risking their lives to come to their aid would be our Liangshan brothers. With Sun Li and the others taking advantage of the opportunity in the village, there are countless By the end of the day, we can easily attack Zhujiazhuang."
As soon as these words came out, the brothers who were still angry and dissatisfied immediately became happy, and some even praised: "The military advisor is really good at making strategies. I am worthy of the wisdom of Liangshan!"
