Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After receiving the order, Xuanzan came to invite Guan Sheng overnight.

    When Guan Sheng heard that there was such an opportunity, he thought that his sworn brother Jing Muyan and Hao Siwen had no way to serve the country, so he invited him to come to Tokyo with him.

    When the three of them arrived in Tokyo, they went straight to Liang Shicheng's house.

    Liang Shicheng was practicing calligraphy in his mansion. Hearing Guan Sheng's arrival, he asked someone to lead him in.

    The three of them entered the mansion and saw Liang Shicheng writing there. They did not dare to say anything and just stood there waiting obediently.

    After Liang Shicheng finished writing the calligraphy, he put down his pen and looked up. He saw a man in the middle who was eight feet five or six feet tall, with a thin three-willow moustache, two eyebrows on the temples, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a face like a jujube.

    No need to ask, the man in the middle is Guan Sheng, and he looks just like his ancestor Guan Yu.

    When the three of them saw Liang Shicheng put down his pen, they hurriedly saluted.

    Liang Shicheng was also a talented person. When he saw Guan Sheng's extraordinary appearance, he fell in love with him and asked, "How young is the general?"

    Guan Sheng also knew Liang Shicheng's authority from Xuan Zan's mouth, and quickly said respectfully: "Two out of thirty young generals."

    Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "You have reached the age of 30, but you have submitted to the subordinates. If the Liangshan grass bandits are wiped out this time, I guarantee that you will become a seventh-grade general. If you make more contributions in the future, it will not be difficult to restore the glory of your ancestors."

    The rank of military attach¨¦s in the Northern Song Dynasty was much lower than that of civilian officials. Even Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief, was only a second-rank officer. The title of Taiwei for the horse and infantry officers was actually a bit too much. They were only commanders of the fifth rank.  The envoy and the commander are also the seventh rank.

    Xuan Zan was only from the eight grades. When he heard that Guan Sheng won the victory, he could become the seven grades. It was also envious.

    Hearing this, Guan Sheng quickly thanked Liang Shicheng.

    Liang Shicheng asked again: "How many troops and horses do you need to wipe out the Liangshan bandits?"

    On the way, Guan Sheng and Xuan Zan had carefully inquired about the military generals and horses that the imperial court had used to conquer Liangshan. They also considered how many soldiers and horses they needed. They immediately said: "The young general heard that the Liangshan bandits were plundering the state capital, and they gathered a lot of troops.  If we want to do our best, we will probably need at least 15,000 elite soldiers.¡±

    Liang Shicheng was not familiar with military affairs. He only knew that the Forbidden Army claimed 800,000 people. When he heard that Guan Sheng only wanted 15,000 people, he immediately said: "Okay, I will give Tong Guanxiu a letter. You can take it and ask him to give you the following instructions."  Just mobilize the troops and horses."

    Guan Sheng and the other three resigned from Liang Shicheng and came to visit Tong Guan with Liang Shicheng's letter.

    When Tong Guan saw the handwritten letter from Master Liang, he did not dare to neglect, so he asked the Privy Council to allocate 15,000 elite soldiers from Jingdong and Hebei to gather in Xingren Mansion within a time limit. Tokyo also allocated grain and grass to Xingren Mansion.

    After receiving the document, Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen and Xuan Zan went to Xingren Mansion. When the soldiers and horses gathered, they were divided into three armies, with Hao Siwen as the vanguard and Guan Sheng as the general of the middle army.  Come to Liangshan to kill.

    ??Looking around forty miles away from Jeju City, we came to a place called Fengwei Slope, with a large forest at the foot of the slope.

    Hao Siwen is also a person who has learned eighteen kinds of martial arts since he was a child and is familiar with military books and war manuals, but he has never been able to use them.  Knowing that Jingdong and Hebei soldiers and horses were mobilized together, they could not hide it from the Liangshan spies. After entering the borders of Jeju, they secretly increased their vigilance.

    When they arrived at Fengwei Slope, Hao Siwen saw that the forest was unusually quiet, so he immediately reined in his troops and sent someone into the forest to check.

    Li Kui, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun led a thousand regiments of soldiers to ambush in the woods, preparing to intercept the officers and soldiers when they passed by.

    Li Kui was already tired of waiting. Seeing Hao Siwen stop his troops and send people to the forest, he said: "The military advisor's plan has been seen through. Let's rush out and kill him for a while."

    Hearing this, Jiao Ting hurriedly said: "The military advisor has ordered that if we are seen through, we will withdraw from the forest and they will not be able to catch up."

    Li Kui was knocked down several times by Jiao Ting, and he became a little afraid of him. He smiled and said: "If you don't dare to fight even the officers and soldiers face each other, then go back and laugh at the brothers. Besides, the King of Heaven promised me to be the vanguard, and I will fight in the first battle."  Nor does it violate military orders.¡±

    Xiang Chong, however, also wanted to make meritorious deeds, and said in support: "Brother Tieniu is right, but it doesn't work anymore, there are other brothers behind him to help."

    "Kill"

    Li Kui shouted and rushed out without waiting for Jiao Ting to speak.

    Seeing this, Jiao Ting had no choice but to rush out.

    After that, the dough soldiers naturally followed closely behind.

    Hao Siwen had already mobilized archers, and when he saw that there was indeed an ambush, he waved his hand and said, "Fire arrows."

    After giving the order, the archers shot arrows towards the edge of the forest.

    When Xiang Chong and Li Gun saw this, they hurried forward to protect Li Kui and Jiao Ting. Fortunately, the arrows were not close and the two men played well, but all four leaders were unscathed.

    The other team members were basically uninjured.

    ? ?Siwen was stunned when he saw that almost no one fell under the arrow.

    Although thousands of arrows were shot together, and only a few arrows were distributed to each person, the momentum of thousands of arrows fired together was still very shocking, and it was still difficult to block all the arrows.

    After two rounds of arrow rain, Li Kui and others suffered almost no casualties, but they were about to rush forward.

    Seeing this, Hao Siwen quickly shouted: "The archers retreat, the spearmen come forward."

    Seventy-eight percent of the Northern Song Dynasty army consisted of archers, and the rest were spearmen to protect the archers and prevent cavalry from charging.

    The front row of the officers and soldiers quickly set up a gun formation.

    Seeing that the officers and soldiers no longer fired arrows, and no longer cared about Xiang Chong who had just been covering him, Li Kui rushed towards the officers and soldiers' camp.

    Seeing Li Kui's ferocious face and stout figure, Hao Siwen couldn't help but smile and said: "They all say how great the heroes of Liangshan are, but it turns out that they are just insulting the villagers like this. Shangguan Ji, you lead a hundred horse troops to attack the flanks of the Liangshan bandits. After breaking through, they will  Go around to the forest to prevent the Liangshan bandits from escaping into the forest again."

    When Shangguan Ji heard this, he ordered a hundred soldiers and horses to surround the Tuanpai soldiers from the flanks.

    Seeing the cavalry troops coming, Jiao Ting hurriedly shouted: "Tieniu, the officers and soldiers have cavalry troops. If we delay any longer, we may not be able to withdraw."

    Li Kui, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and rushed towards the spearmen in front of him.

    "kill"

    When the spearmen in the front row saw Li Kui coming, they shouted, and they all raised their spears and stabbed Li Kui.

    When Li Kui saw four or five spears coming towards them, he grinned, swiped the ax in his hand, cut off all the spears, and then continued to kill several spearmen.

    Seeing how fiercely Li Kui was coming, the spearmen in the front row hurriedly ducked and retreated to the back.

    The spearmen in the second row stepped forward and stabbed Li Kui with several more spears.

    Li Kui used his ax to cut off the spears, and he had already reached the pikemen. He chopped down several of them with his axe, then rushed into the formation and started killing them wantonly.

    Later, all the dough soldiers also took the opportunity to rush into the formation and fight.

    Hao Siwen didn't expect Li Kui to be so ferocious. Seeing that the sergeants couldn't stop Li Kui, he approached the horse and stabbed Li Kui with one shot.

    Li Kui was about to receive rewards and buy wine for his meritorious service. He was overjoyed when he saw the officers and soldiers approaching, and he slashed at Hao Siwen with his steel spear with an axe.  (To be continued.
