Looking at the approaching officers and soldiers, Wu Yong's heart beat faster and faster. Even though he boasted of being full of ingenuity, he was helpless in the face of such a situation. He could only raise his knife to protect the enemy who seemed to be struggling to stand firm. In front of Chao Gai, he put on a posture that he was ready to fight with others at any time, but he obviously couldn't scare the officers and soldiers like this.
Although Sun Tu didn't say anything, the soldiers under his command were already ready to move forward and seize the leader of the Liangshan bandit to make a contribution. But just when they were raising their swords and guns to capture Chao Gai, he who was briefly silent suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter. Then his eyes burst out with two rays of light. He swept across the soldiers and suddenly took a step forward: "Who dares to step forward!"
Although the tiger is injured, its power is still there! Just this drink, it actually frightened all the officers and soldiers into panic. Instead of stepping forward to take the person, they retreated uneasily. This suddenly made Chao Gai burst into laughter again, with contempt in his eyes. The meaning became stronger: "Even if I die in battle, I will not be captured by you and others! Sun Sanlang, if you are brave enough, fight with me. Even if I am seriously injured, I will not be afraid of you!"
What responded to him was Sun Tu's sigh: "Why is King Chao Tian like this? You are already trapped in a tight siege and there is no possibility of escape, so why bother struggling anymore?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Chao Gai's head is here. If you have the ability, come and get it!" Chao Gai said, taking another step forward. The simple knife that was originally leaning on the ground was also held across his chest by him. He looked like he was about to die. Fight to the end and never give up.
"Killing you is just a no-brainer. Not to mention that you are seriously injured now. Even if your body is intact, you will never be my opponent." Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party, but had no intention of stepping forward: "But you and I are both The commander-in-chief of the three armies really does not need and should not indulge in random fights with others, let alone risk his life."
This sentence immediately touched the minds of Chao Gai and Wu Yong, and their expressions changed. Sun Tuke was much calmer and wiser than Chao Gai. The latter was severely damaged during the siege precisely because he did not know the importance of the situation.
Before Sun Tu finished speaking, he continued: "King Chao Tian, you are related to thousands of soldiers here, and even to the overall situation of Liangshanbo. Do you really want to die? I can guarantee that once you are captured, The thieves and bandits in the city who I killed will definitely become a mess. Is this really the result you want to see? Can Liang Shanbo really withstand such damage and blows? "
Chao Gai was stunned when he said this again, and then he remembered that he was the commander-in-chief of the army. Once something happened to him, these thousands of soldiers and horses might completely collapse, and they would no longer be able to fight. However, now that he had fallen into Sun Tu's hands, the only option other than death was surrender, which was not the outcome he expected.
At this time, Huang Xin and other leaders had already rushed out of Dongping City with thousands of people. When they saw from a distance that the camp had been occupied by the army and Chao Gai and others had fallen into the hands of the army, they were also completely panicked. He was so stunned that he rushed over to rescue him, but was intercepted by Qi Desheng and his men: "If you dare to step forward again, Chao Gai and the others will definitely die!"
The effect of this threat was quite obvious. The Liangshan Army who was about to charge over immediately stopped. Huang Xin suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted loudly: "How are you waiting? Don't forget that Dongping City has been occupied." My Liangshan brothers have broken it. If you dare to hurt our brothers’ lives,
, the soldiers and civilians in the city will surely sacrifice their lives! "As he said that, he waved his hand quickly and had more than a dozen prisoners pushed to the front of the team. Knowing that the situation was not good, he finally did one thing right, and that was to take a few important prisoners with him. out.
Cheng Wanli was among them and felt the strong killing intent from behind. He was so panicked that he could only shout desperately: "This general, help me. I am Cheng Wanli, the governor of Dongping. These thieves are already everywhere in the city." You can't just loot and kill people randomly..."
Huang Xin took the opportunity to shout again: "How about it? Now you and I have important people in our hands. If you are willing to return the King's military advisor, we will release these prisoners to you. Make a decision quickly, otherwise, they will all be killed." !" In order to show his determination, after saying this, Huang Xin ordered his men to stand behind Cheng Wanli and others with swords raised, potentially beheading them at any time.
At this time, not only Cheng Wanli, but also the other prisoners were terrified and started asking Qi Desheng and the others for help, barely kowtowing to them.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Desheng really didn't know how to deal with it. The other party had the lives of Governor Cheng and several important officials of Dongping Mansion in their hands. He, a Qingzhou commander, didn't dare to risk their lives.
Just when he was about to send someone to report back to Sun Tu, a voice sounded from behind: "If you want to kill, just kill him. As the prefect of Dongping, Cheng Taishou has a rule of protecting the land. Now that Dongping City has been destroyed, he will It is natural to be loyal to the country. But don’t worry, once you are killed, the Liangshan bandit leader will be buried for you!" But it was Sun Tu who came here at this critical moment, and behind him, Wu Yong and Chao Gai were also roped He was escorted out of bound land.
After facing Sun Tu's reasonable inference just now, Chao Gai finally lost the idea of dying. Taking advantage of the opportunity for him to relax, Sun Tu pounced on him. While grabbing the knife in his hand, he swept him to the ground with one kick and asked someone to take it down.
As for Wu Yong, with only a little martial arts, he couldn't even withstand the attacks of three or two ordinary soldiers, and he didn't want to die, so he was captured later.
As a result, within half an hour, the Liangshan camp was captured by Sun Tu who hurriedly led his army, and even their two major generals fell under his control. Only then did he lead people to the front, face Huang Xin who was still making threats, and said these words.
"You..." Huang Xin was shocked and angry again, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute. After all, he was just a warrior, and verbal arguments were not his specialty.
But Sun Tu did not stop talking, and continued loudly: "Although Cheng Taishou's official position is not small, it is nothing to our Song Dynasty court. After he died, he will have his successor. But Chao Gai has come to Liangshan for you." That is another matter, he is your village leader, once he dies, there will be chaos in Liangshan, which is more serious, you should think about it for yourself!"
In just a few words, the other party's arrogance was completely suppressed. At this time, Huang Xin had no idea how to deal with it. The minions behind him were even more frightened. The King of Heaven and the military advisor fell into the hands of the army at the same time, making them completely lose their backbone and unwilling to fight again.
Just when Sun Tu suppressed the opponent, he planned to continue
When they continued to threaten and asked them to let go and abandon their weapons and surrender, another group of people quickly ran out of the city. After rushing here, the big man at the head shouted loudly: "Sun Tu, if you dare to hurt my king, I, Ruan Xiaoer, swear that I will bloodbath the entire Dongping City and use the lives of all the good and humble people in the city to bury the King of Heaven!"
As he shouted these words, many people appeared one after another at the head of the city. However, it was the Liangshan bandits who were escorting the people in the city to the city wall. Sharp knives were placed on the backs of their necks. As long as they gave the order, , these innocent people fell to the ground.
This time, even Sun Tu was moved by it: "You are so brave, you are really crazy!" As he said that, his eyes fell on Ruan Xiaoer's body, and he saw that it was stained with blood, but he didn't know it. Was it the Dongping defenders who fought with him, or the innocent people who were harmed
Facing Sun Tu's scolding, Ruan Xiaoer showed no fear at all. He just stared back at him and showed his attitude to be extremely resolute: "My two brothers, Liu Tang and others are all in the city. As long as I make a gesture , they will go on a killing spree in the city, and even if you rush over at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to save too many people!"
When Huang Xin gathered his troops and planned to return to rescue the camp, Ruan Xiaoer and others also started to rescue themselves. They had already guessed that the Chinese army's camp would be destroyed, so they decided to target the soldiers and civilians in Dongping City, using them to threaten the officers and soldiers outside the city, so as to reverse the situation.
No one expected that this battle would turn into this. Not only did the Liangshan Army not expect Sun Tu's sudden appearance and such a decisive choice to attack their Chinese army camp, but Sun Tu also did not expect that everyone in Liangshan would do such a crazy thing.
In fact, over the years, even though Sun Tu and Liangshan have been in a state of hostility and he only wanted to quell Liangshanbo, in his heart, these people are still heroes worthy of respect.
There was nothing he could do about it. He had been watching Water Margin stories since he was a child, and his positive impression of them was deeply ingrained and could not be changed easily.
But at this moment, Sun Tu's impression had been completely shattered by Ruan Xiaoer's words and the murderous threats at the top of the city - Liang Shanbo is a group of people who do all kinds of evil and will only bring endless harm to this era. They are just a mob of bandits. They do not deserve sympathy at all, let alone respect. Destroying them and killing them all is a good thing that will truly benefit the country and the people!
Thinking about it carefully, Sun Tu felt that he was a little too idealistic. In fact, he knew early on who were the people in Shuibo Liangshan. The so-called heroes were just a group of ruffians and murderers. And their so-called righteous deeds are nothing more than revenge and anger. When they launch a war, they are for the people. Those seemingly correct reasons are just masks to cover up their ugly nature.
But now, they have taken off this mask, revealing their ugly faces of disregarding human life and killing innocent people indiscriminately!
If Sun Tu still had some goodwill toward Liangshan before today, then from today on, they have been classified as real enemies by him and must be defeated!
After slowly exhaling a breath, Sun Tu's expression became calm again, and he stared at Ruan Xiaoer and said, "Tell me, how are you doing?" His tone was cold, without any emotion at all.
