- Looking at the approaching battlefield, Tan Ma flew over to report: "Sir, the Liangshan bandits are rushing over with Lingzhou soldiers and horses."
Li Cheng frowned and thought to himself, it seems that these Liangshan bandits are very powerful. They just defeated Suo Chao's tribe, and they defeated Lingzhou soldiers and horses so quickly.
"Let Lingzhou's soldiers and horses turn around and kill the thieves. Anyone who dares to charge will be killed without mercy."
When Tan Ma heard the words, he immediately ran forward and shouted Li Cheng's order to the Lingzhou soldiers and horses.
Lingzhou soldiers and horses saw the reinforcements, and if they continued to escape, they would be dead ends. They could only turn around and fight with Liangshan soldiers and horses again.
Hua Rong saw Li Cheng's decisive use of troops and knew something was wrong. He took out his bow and arrow and wanted to shoot Li Cheng, but he was blocked by many people and horses in front and could not see clearly.
Only Li Cheng¡¯s military flag was floating in the air, very conspicuous.
At that moment, he fully opened his bow, looked at the rope on the military flag, and shot.
When Li Cheng saw an arrow coming, he was about to call, but found that the arrow was shot too high, so he ignored it. As he was riding his horse to charge, he heard a "ding" sound behind him, and then the soldiers behind him screamed in surprise. stand up.
When he looked back, he saw that the arrow had hit the military flag he recognized, and was breaking the rope on the flagpole. The flag with his name on it had fallen to the ground, and was trampled by several footprints by the soldiers behind him who could not hold their feet.
Li Cheng naturally knew the role of general flags in a war, and would be a soldier's courage. However, in a war, the soldiers could hardly see the generals, so they could only follow the general flags. If there is no general's flag and a melee breaks out, the soldiers in the distance will not know whether they are alive or dead, and they will not fight to the death with them.
"Hurry up and raise the military flag for me."
Li Cheng scolded the flag-bearing soldier and asked him to lower the flagpole and raise it again to recognize the military flag.
"Whoever kills Li Cheng will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
Chao Yong was overjoyed to see Hua Rong shoot so well. He kicked the horse under his crotch and rushed towards Li Cheng.
"Kill Li Cheng"
When the Liangshan soldiers heard that Chao Yong had offered such a large reward, their already exhausted bodies suddenly glowed with new vitality, and they pounced on the soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion like wolves and tigers.
Li Cheng was also shocked when he heard Chao Yong shouting.
A thousand taels of gold can be converted into copper coins, which is tens of thousands of guan. When Chao Gai and others fell into trouble, it was just because they robbed the 100,000 guan of birthday gifts given to Cai Jing by Liang Taishu.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that a reward of one thousand taels of gold would be offered for killing myself.
As long as you kill yourself, the bounty will be enough to return home, buy hundreds of acres of land in the countryside, marry a few beautiful concubines, and live a peaceful life.
Li Cheng seemed to be able to feel the golden light in the eyes of the soldiers behind him. He also wanted to shout: "Whoever kills the leader of the thieves will be rewarded a thousand taels." He focused all the attention of his soldiers and horses on the thieves to avoid Someone really stabbed me in the back.
"However, the reward offered by the imperial court to Chao Gai was only 5,000 guan, and the reward for other thieves was only 3,000 guan at most. It was impossible for him to collect tens of thousands of guan in any case.
But Chao Yong didn't have to worry about not being able to cash out the gold and silver. After plundering Gaotang Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture, Liangshan would have plenty of money and food. If he led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the rear and defeated more than 10,000 pursuing troops, it would be a disaster. As a reward for meritorious deeds, no amount of gold or silver is too much.
As soon as Li Cheng's flag was raised, the Liangshan soldiers and horses had already killed the remaining Lingzhou soldiers and rushed over.
"Strive to kill the thief, and you will be rewarded for your merits after the war."
Li Cheng shouted, then clapped his horse and led his troops to greet him.
However, comparing the two, his reward based on merit and Chao Yong's reward of 1,000 taels are much different.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Rong shot another arrow. Li Cheng recognized the military flag and dropped it again.
Driven by thousands of taels of gold, Liangshan soldiers and horses were as powerful as tigers. However, the soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion saw that their leader recognized the military flag and was shot down twice in a row, and their morale was greatly reduced.
Although Li Cheng heard the screams of the soldiers behind him, he and Chao Yong, who came at the lead, were only a few horses away, and they no longer cared about recognizing the military flag.
The two met each other, and Chao Yong hit Li Cheng with a stick.
Seeing how fierce Chao Yong was coming, Li Cheng quickly waved his swords to fight.
There was a loud noise, and Li Cheng felt as if he was struck by lightning. Not only did his two swords fail to hold Chao Yong's iron rod, but he was forced back and slashed at his chest with the back of the sword. Chao Yong's iron rod also fell on his shoulder, leaving only a mouthful of blood in the air, and his whole body was hit and fell off the horse.
Seeing this, Li Cheng's soldiers rushed up to intercept Chao Yong.
Chao Yong did not go after Li Cheng. He swept away a few soldiers, broke the empty flagpole with a stick, and then went to the rear.
Although Wu Song fought on foot, his charging speed was not inferior to that of Chao Yong. Seeing Li Cheng fall from his horse, he caught up and chopped off Li Cheng's head with a single blow.
Wu Song raised Li Cheng¡¯s head and shouted: ¡°Li Cheng is dead.¡±
Hearing this, Liangshan soldiers and horses also shouted: "Li Cheng is dead."
When the Damingfu officers and soldiers in the rear team heard the shouting and looked at Li Cheng's identification of the military flag, not only was the flag gone, but the bare flagpole was also missing, and they couldn't help but commotion.
Chao Yong swept all the way, invincible to those who stood in his way, but soon the iron rod in his hand deformed again. Chao Yong could only grab a spear and continue to charge, but the spears deployed by the army were even more powerful than his, and they could not reach a few dozen feet. , and was broken by him again, and he could only keep grabbing the weapon.
Chao Yong also decided to go back to the mountain and ask Tang Long to make weapons.
After Tang Long went up the mountain, many leaders remade their weapons. Lin Chong replaced the original steel spear with the Zhangba snake spear made by Tang Long.
He also thought about Chao Yong¡¯s weapons for a long time and asked many people for advice. Everyone recommended him the Overlord Spear, Overlord Halberd, Eight-edged Purple Gold Hammer, and Coiling Dragon Staff, but he never thought about it.
He prefers the eight-edged purple gold hammer, which is violent enough. It can be said that you will die if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it, but the attack range is a bit small.
The Overlord Spear, Overlord Halberd, and Coiling Dragon Staff have a large attack range, but they lack some domineering power, so he has never decided what weapons to build.
However, after experiencing several battles, these three things can be ruled out. His magical power is so amazing that long weapons will deform when he slams them hard.
In addition, he was looking for a bow and arrow. Just now, Chao Yong saw Hua Rong using a bow and arrow to open a gap when he was charging. His heart was moved. With his skill, he could shoot more arrows, and he could shoot more arrows. The effect of a stiff bow is definitely more amazing than that of Hua Rong.
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen followed Chao Yong to the left and right to expand the gap, allowing the Liangshan soldiers and horses behind them to continuously break into the Daming Mansion formation.
Chao Yong didn¡¯t know how long he had been fighting, but he saw more and more officers and soldiers retreating backward on both wings. In the end, wherever Chao Yong rushed to, they began to disperse.
Soon, there were no more officers and soldiers facing Chao Yong.
Chao Yong looked at all the officers and soldiers who had fled, and reined in his horse to rest. Today's battle was the longest day he had fought. He didn't know how long it had been, but the officers and soldiers who died in his hands were probably Hundreds or more.
Lu Zhishen reined in his horse, took a few deep breaths, and said, "These Forbidden Army are still just showy. If it were the Western Army, I'm afraid we would be in a hard fight."
What Chao Yong cannot say is that after the Jingkang Disgrace, thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were defeated by a dozen Jin soldiers, and there were many such battles.
The Northern Song Dynasty has enjoyed peace for too many years, and the soldiers have long lost the courage to wrap their bodies in horse leather on the battlefield. Except for the Western Army that has been fighting against Xixia, the entire army can be said to be vulnerable, which is why there are so many people who occupy the mountain as kings. Grass bandits.
In this battle, the number of wounded soldiers increased a lot. When Chao Yong was rescuing the wounded, the army from the front came back to help.
Li Kui came running in a hurry and shouted: "Where are the officers and soldiers of Daming Mansion? Weren't they all killed by you?"
Lu Zhishen liked Li Kui's straightforward temperament and said with a smile: "You came late, they were all killed and retreated."
When Li Kui heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said: "What kind of bullshit imperial army did King Chao Tian say? He couldn't help but kill him. At least he was able to hold on until I came. Let me kill him as fast as he can before leaving."
Chao Yong couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "In a while, I won't be able to fight with you."
Hearing this, Li Kui said happily: "That's great, I will be a pioneer then."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "You have to ask my dad about this."
Seeing that his son was fine, Chao Gai was relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, I will let you be the pioneer when the time comes."
Li Kui suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Brother Tianwang is very happy. When Tieniu gets the bounty, I will treat you to a drink."
There are several restaurants on Liangshan Mountain. The soldiers have five days of rest every month and can get drunk on the mountain.
Li Kui's salary and bounty were quite large, but apart from the money given to his mother and brother, he also invited the mountain chiefs and his brothers to have wine. Often, before it was time to pay the money, Li Kui would have no money to drink, and then he would find someone to drink. The familiar leader drinks and eats.
Chao Gai also knew about Li Kui and said with a smile: "Then come and treat me to a drink as soon as you receive the reward, so as not to be late and lose it."
Li Kui scratched his head and said to Xiang Chong and Li Gun: "Please remember this for me. If you receive the reward, you will be the first to invite the King of Heaven to drink."
Xiang Chong and Li Gun saw that Li Kui took Chao Gai's joke seriously, and they couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay."
When Li Kui saw a few wounded soldiers passing by, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "King of Heaven, look at how many of their children are injured. Shouldn't it be up to me to leave this final task to you?"
Chao Gai heard this and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Tieniu was also smart. Well, the three thousand people who had been cut off were transferred to the Chinese army to rest and regroup. Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Li Kui, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun led three thousand people to cut off the rear. "
Chao Yong reported again: "In order to boost morale and defeat the troops of Daming Prefecture, I offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold for Li Cheng's head. In the end, it was Brother Wu Song who beheaded Li Cheng and asked dad to agree to the matter."
When the other leaders heard about the thousand taels of gold, their expressions changed. Even though the salary in the Song Dynasty was richer than that of the previous dynasties, this thousand taels of gold was also a huge sum.
Chao Gai didn't value gold and silver that much. After plundering Gaotang Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture, there was no shortage of gold and silver in the village. He smiled and said: "Since you said you would reward a thousand taels of gold, then let's reward it like this. You guys. To be able to defeat seven thousand soldiers and horses with two thousand tired soldiers is a great victory and deserves a heavy reward."
Chao Gai was also the head of a family. He also knew that if he rewarded Wu Song in this way, if he favored one over others later, he might cause dissatisfaction among the leaders, so he also pointed out the special nature of this battle to pave the way for different rewards in the future.
Hearing this, Wu Song hurriedly said: "Li Cheng was knocked down by Brother Yong. Wu Song just got an advantage. This reward should be given to Brother Yong."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Is it possible that I can still give myself a reward? Besides, I also said that Li Cheng was the one to be killed. I only wounded him, but you were the one who killed him. But I also have some merits. You can take it." Just treat me to a drink with the reward."
The other leaders were secretly heartbroken when they saw Chao Yong being so forthright. (To be continued.
