Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 60 Officials and bandits upside down 【For collection】

Zhu Ting is six feet tall, with a red face and long beard, resembling Guan Yunchang, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. He has a bay red horse under his crotch, and he is called Meibeard.

He was born into a wealthy family and read poetry and books when he was young. He admired Guan Gong's loyalty and righteousness the most in his life. He happened to be like Guan Gong himself, so he used Guan Yunchang as his example. He served as the patrol commander of the cavalry and infantry commanders, and Lei Heng, the commander of the infantry commanders, was responsible for capturing thieves.The latter also obeys him!

The Liangshan bandits killed more than a dozen nursing homes of large households on both sides of the Wenshui River, and Zhu Dian was still able to survive, but after hearing the report that the latter had killed the guards and nurses, instead of retreating, they split up and went to the surrounding villages. This made the blood rush to his head.With thirty or fifty soldiers, together with more than a hundred servants to protect the courtyard, after passing Jishui, they hurried all the way south.

At this time, Lu Qian had already received a report from his minions, and immediately dispatched troops and generals to arrange them.

When Zhu Dian led his people halfway, he saw the frightened villagers walking north in a hurry. After bumping into Zhu Ding and his party on the road, they cried and said that their village had been robbed by strong men, and begged Zhu Ding to lead his people to save them.When asked where he was, he was told that he was from a forest village on the north bank of Wenshui River.

Zhu Dian led his men straight to Linzhai, and saw a big forest from a distance, with thousands of big trees that couldn't get along with each other.When the group of people rushed to the edge of the forest, they heard a whistle, and a rain of arrows shot over from the forest, killing and wounding more than ten soldiers.

Zhu Ting was shocked, and hurriedly turned the team away from the woods, but there was no time.There was a sound of thunder, and a big man jumped out from the forest, swung a knife and chopped down the two servants at the tail, dozens of minions rushed out behind him, and stabbed seven or eight of them to death with all the swords and guns. Retreat straight to the front team.

Zhu Tong also shouted loudly, calmed the people around him, and said: "Wait until I come forward. If I scratch you, you and I will be tied!" But before he could finish his words, he saw a shout from the front, and also came out. A big man, riding a yellow gelding, followed by thirty or twenty men, and there were figures everywhere in the forest, as if there were hundreds of them ambushing him.

This big man is exactly Lu Qian, with a red scarf and golden flowers slanting.Taking advantage of a green robe outside, he held a wind-splashing knife in his hand.

Liangshan's men and horses sandwiched Zhu Dian and his gang one after another, and the latter lost their positions one after another.

At that moment, Lu Qian held a big knife in his hand and shouted sharply: "Does Zhu Dutou recognize me, Lu Qian?"

"You've already been tricked by me, why don't you just catch me?"

Zhu Dian suddenly realized that he went to find the informer in Linzhai, but he was gone.Immediately shouted angrily: "Lu Qian, you violated the court's laws and regulations first, turned into a bandit, and then destroyed the Tang family. The crime will not be pardoned. I always wanted to come here to arrest you gang of Liangshan robbers, and I am here today! Quickly teach the king! Lunah went down the mountain to worship! If you are obsessed, I will teach you in a short time that everyone will die, and no one will be left behind!"

Lu Qian laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "Zhu Dutou is very stubborn, but it doesn't help. You fell into my trick today, and you can't get away. Why don't you come to Liangshan and take the top spot. Someone Lu is willing to stay behind." Zhu Ting was furious, took the simple knife in his hand, and came to fight Lu Qian.Lu Qian picked up a 36-jin wind-throwing knife to meet him.

To be honest, this wind-throwing knife is very advantageous compared to the plain knife, but Lu Qian's force is really not Zhu Dian's opponent. The two only fought to the twentieth, and Lu Qian's arms were numb, and he was already struggling, so he With a swing of the wind-splashing knife, he slashed three times to force Zhu Dian away. He jumped out of the circle by himself, looked at Linzi South Road, and left. When the crowd saw that Lu Qian was defeated, they also scattered and retreated into the forest. middle.Zhu Ting didn't want to give up Lu Qian, but he couldn't ignore the wave of minions behind him, and the family guard who was screaming after being killed by the minions, holding a plain knife, shouting at the soldiers, and riding his horse in the opposite direction. The god Liu Tang came to kill him.

Liu Tang kept Lu Qian's instructions in mind, and after fighting Zhu Dian for more than a dozen times, he led his minions into the woods.

Zhu Tong led his men to leave the woods and count the troops. In just a quarter of an hour, forty or fifty of his soldiers, servants and guards were killed or injured, and only a hundred remained.Although there were a few corpses of strong men left on the ground.

Fear arose in the hearts of all the people, and even Zhu Dian's soldiers were also afraid, but Zhu Dian was unwilling to retreat and insisted on moving forward.

His movements were detected by the minions in the forest, and they immediately reported to Lu Qian and his party who were resting at the entrance of Linzhai Village.

The latter was dragged down for some time because many people were reluctant and there were wounded people in the way.Lu Qian had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time, and even Liu Tang's troops had arrived.

After deducting the people left behind in Wenshui Xiaozhai and the casualties just now, Lu Qian now has 50 or [-] people at his disposal, which is more than Zhu Dian's men.

Lu Qian was riding on a horse, and Liu Tang was also riding a variegated horse. There were people on the left and right holding gongs and drums. The minions belonging to Jinshatan Xiaozhai held wooden plaques and stood in two rows in front of Lu Qian's horse. Wu and Zhou Daming lead a row each.

Five or sixty people stood apart horizontally, and wooden shields of different sizes and colors stood in a row in front of the formation.Followed by neat spears and soldiers, some of the spears are still brand new, and the guns and blades of the soldiers pressed forward together and stretched forward.Then there are more than 60 men with bows.

The left and right are the main force of the Dazhai minions led by Zhu Gui and the Ruan brothers. These people don't have any battles and positions. They are divided into two, with [-] people on the left and right.

But the existence of these people has boosted the confidence of the minions in Chujinshatan Xiaozhai in the center.

And let's look at Zhu Ding's team again, whether it's a native soldier or a family guard, they are just like the minions on the left and right, and they don't form an array.

Compared with the Xiaozhai minions in front of Lu Qian, they looked more like officials.

In the current Water Margin world, the local soldiers are the armed police of later generations. In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty accepted Fujian Road as a point of punishment and prison Luqiu Xiaozhi made a proposal to establish it. The county magistrate governs, and shows martial arts to prevent thieves.The equipment, pommel and horse are all provided by the officials, trained by the Spring and Autumn Division in the local area, and called by the police.

They are not Xiangbing soldiers, the native soldiers are all from the rural countryside, household rent is exempted, and rewards are given for meritorious service.

It's just that the policy is good, but the officials of the Song Dynasty have long misunderstood it.Except for the frontier fortress, the government of local soldiers has long been useless.In a peaceful place in Shandong, he is no different from ordinary government servants.

Seeing the Liangshan minions on the opposite side lined up in formation, Zhu Ting was stunned at first, and then cried out.Then Lu Qian was the Marquis of Yu who was born in the Palace Commander's Mansion, and knew how to fight.

The minions on the opposite side are of different heights, short, fat, and different clothes, but this is the posture of fighting, and it is the way of the army, not the green forest strongmen blocking the road and robbing.

Lu Qian rode on the horse, holding the wind-splashing knife high, and first shouted orders to the left and right wings of the team not to be confused, then lowered his head and said to the two people behind him holding small drums and gongs: "Listen to my orders!" There is also three points of tension in my heart.The mistake was not to practice the hand feeling, but only put the Ruan brothers in the woods, and Zhu Dian and the others would be settled in that battle.

The two people who beat the gongs and drums are Lu Qian's command system, but there are three parts of the snail shell as the driver of the dojo.

But in the current war, gongs and drums are indispensable. Even in today's small battles, 200 people are killed, and Lu Qian can't command and dispatch as he wants even if he exhausts all his strength.In the case that the order cannot be effectively conveyed in words, the banner and gongs are the best means of conveying the order.

Lu Qian didn't need to raise the flag today, but gongs and drums were necessary.This is what is meant by the so-called marching with drums and retreating with gold.

Zhu Tong was very confused, and had a bad premonition in his heart. Today's battle seemed to be embarrassing.This official doesn't want to be an official, let alone a bandit.It's quite an upside-down posture!
