The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Soon, Hu Yanzhuo led 5,000 soldiers to Liangshan. The people of Liangshan had just captured Gaotang Prefecture some time ago, so they had no worries about food and clothing. Zhao Yuanlang had no navy and no large ships, so he could not attack, so they lived a relatively comfortable life.

When the people of Liangshan learned that Hu Yanzhuo, the Double Whip of Runing Prefecture, was leading his troops to attack, they all discussed how to meet the enemy.

Wu Yong frowned, "I heard that this man's ancestor is the direct descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general in Hedong who was a founding hero. He is an expert in martial arts and can wield two copper whips. No one can get close to him. We must use a general who is capable of fighting and brave enough to first fight with force and then capture with wisdom. I just don't know whether he will split his forces with Zhao Yuanlang or join forces this time."

"Then we should hold back and train the soldiers. They have no navy. As long as they dare to enter the water, they will never come back." Chao Gai said slowly.

Originally, Song Jiang did not go up the mountain, and Chao Gai was still the leader. Song Jiang went up the mountain and brought a lot of people with him. Chao Gai only had the three Ruan brothers, Liu Tang and others available under his command. They were completely suppressed by Song Jiang. Even Wu Yong ran to Song Jiang's side, making Song Jiang's reputation unparalleled for a while, and he lived a very depressed life.

"Brother is right!" Song Jiang decided not to take action this time. Hu Yanzhuo and Zhao Yuanlang were not easy to deal with. Since Chao Gai wanted to be the first to stand out, let him be the first to do so and let him get a bloody head.

Hu Yanzhuo led an army of 5,000 and headed straight for Zhao Yuanlang's camp. Hu Yanzhuo read out the imperial edict. Zhao Yuanlang smiled without saying a word and gave the main seat to Hu Yanzhuo.

Just when everyone was discussing how to defeat Liangshan, the Liangshan bandits actually left the water.

Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt, led the first charge, Lin Chong, the Leopard Head, led the second charge, and Sun Li, the Sick Weichi, led the third charge.

Chao Gai personally led ten of his brothers and a large group of troops to follow behind.

The five generals of the left army were Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, Huang Xin, and Lu Fang. The five generals of the right army were Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Guo Sheng.

On the waterway, the three brothers of the Ruan family drove a boat to pick them up.

Hu Yanzhuo immediately led his troops out, with Zhao Yuanlang in the rear. Hu Yanzhuo deployed his armored cavalry and charged straight into the Liangshan Mountains, killing many of their soldiers and generals, and then turned around and fled.

Chao Gai became furious and led everyone back to the stronghold. Song Jiang then pretended to be a good man and comforted Chao Gai.

Just as everyone was discussing in the mountain stronghold, they heard the sound of cannon fire from the foot of the mountain. Three cannons were fired in succession, two of which hit the water, and one hit the small stronghold near Yazui Beach.

Song Jiang hurriedly sent people to capture Ling Zhen, and the three Ruan brothers attacked, and Li Jun supported them. The three Ruan brothers brought forty or fifty men who were good at sailing, rowed two speedboats, and explored the way through the deep reeds. Li Jun led twenty or so small boats to support them in the reed marsh.

The Liangshan bandits came down the mountain and headed straight for the cannon position, and Ling Zhen and his men were so panicked that they tried to stop them. The three Ruan brothers had only thirty or forty men, and were no match for Ling Zhen's army of more than two hundred, so they retreated towards the reed marsh.

Ling Zhen chased to the reed marsh and saw more than twenty small boats lined up in a row, with more than fifty or sixty sailors on board.

Just as Ling Zheng was about to give the order to seize the ship, Zhao Yuanlang arrived with a team of men.

"I've met Mr. Zhao!"

"Ling Zhen, you don't have to chase them! Wu Song! Let them see the power of our Song Dynasty's bows and crossbows."

Wu Song received the order and raised the flag. Then two or three hundred archers drew their bows and shot arrows. More than twenty small boats of Li Jun were shot and the people cried for their parents. Many people were shot and fell into the water.

"Ling Zhen! Let me see your cannon! Bombard this reed marsh for me!" Zhao Yuanlang shouted.

Ling Zhen knew Zhao Yuanlang's intention and was afraid that there was an ambush in the reed marsh, so he ordered his soldiers to adjust the muzzles of the cannons, and a dozen cannons fired at the reed marsh.

It was over. There were two or three hundred Liangshan bandits ambushing in the reed marsh. They were blown to pieces by the artillery fire. Many of them fell into the water. Some people wanted to run out of the reed marsh, but were pierced by arrows. Countless people were killed and injured in a short time.

Finally, seeing that there was no longer any shaking in the reed marsh, Zhao Yuanlang signaled his men to use rockets and set the entire reed marsh on fire.

The three Ruan brothers had already seen that the situation was not good, so they dived underwater and swam out of the reed marsh. However, Li Jun was not so lucky. He was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows and burned to ashes by the fire.

When the three Ruan brothers returned to the stronghold, they were all covered in dust and dirt. Song Jiang and his men were shocked to learn that they had failed, Li Jun had died again, and three or four hundred soldiers had been lost. The morale of Liangshan plummeted.

"Everyone, enjoy the feast!" Zhao Yuanlang returned from a small victory and celebrated in the military tent with Ling Zhen, Wu Song and Dong Ping.

Hu Yanzhuo next door was feeling a little depressed. As the top leader, he had been useless these days except for defeating the Liangshan bandits on the first day. He felt a little aggrieved.

But the people on Liangshan became even more worried. At this time, the Golden Leopard Tang Long suddenly offered a plan, saying that someone could break the three thousand linked armored horses.

Song Jiang was naturally overjoyed, so he sent Shi Qian to steal Xu Ning's goose feather armor. By the time Xu Ning found out, it was too late.

It happened that Tang Long came. After the two brothers drank a few bowls of wine, Tang Long asked Xu Ning why he was so depressed. Xu Ning then told Tang Long about the loss of the family heirloom, the Goose Feather Armor.

Tang Long said that he had seen him not long ago. Xu Ning asked where he was. Tang Long said that he could take his brother to chase him. So the two of them stopped drinking, took their machetes, and went out.

As a result, Xu Ning was drugged not long after chasing. When he woke up, he had already arrived at Liangshan, and his wife and children were also tricked to Liangshan.

Tang Long made things difficult for himself, but there was nothing he could do. The situation was stronger than he was, so he could only help Liangshan train their skills with the hook-and-sickle spear.

After training for many days, Hu Yanzhuo challenged Song Jiang again. Song Jiang led everyone down the mountain, formed a battle formation with Hu Yanzhuo, and prepared for a big battle.

Hu Yanzhuo drove the linked horses and rolled over. The armored horses all ran away, unable to be reined in. The hook-and-sickle spears were raised together, first hooking the legs of the horses on both sides, and the armored horse in the middle began to roar. The hook-and-scythe soldiers grabbed them together, and the linked horse formation was broken. Hu Yanzhuo rode away, and the three thousand linked horses were reduced to only a hundred or so. He sat in the main tent with his head down, and said nothing more.

Zhao Yuanlang didn't say anything more. Hu Yanzhuo was defeated and the court was furious. General Gao had no choice but to select new troops and demoted Hu Yanzhuo several levels to become a chief eunuch, who had to take orders from Zhao Yuanlang.

It is said that Liangshan won a great victory, but Zhao Yuanlang's army was still not damaged, and Liangshan was still under control. Wu Yong came up with a plan. He contacted the mountain strongholds such as Erlongshan and Taohuashan, and persuaded them to rescue Liangshan with emotion and reason. So the three families sent 5,000 troops to help Liangshan.

Zhao Yuanlang's camp was surrounded on all sides by soldiers and horses, beating drums, waving flags, and shouting challenges.

Zhao Yuanlang was not afraid at all. He led his troops out of the camp and went forward on foot to fight the general alone. When Zhao Yuanlang took the stage, none of the Liangshan bandits dared to fight him.

Because Yang Zhi had a past relationship with Zhao Yuanlang, everyone pushed him out.

Yang Zhi rode forward and saw the two armies. Zhao Yuanlang was wearing heavy plate armor, holding a chain-rod meteor hammer in his left hand and a tiger in his right hand. He was truly a hero of the time.

"Meet Mr. Zhao."

"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Yang Zhi, the descendant of Yang Linggong. I heard that you found a way out in Daming Prefecture. I was very happy for you. How come you have become a bandit now and brought in bandits to help the Liangshan bandits?"

Zhao Yuanlang's words made Yang Zhi's face filled with shame and he lowered his head.

"You know, your birthday gift was robbed by Liangshan bandits led by Chao Gai, the three Ruan brothers and others. They hurt you so much, and you actually came to help. It's really ridiculous."

What? Yang Zhiru was struck by lightning and stood there for a moment. Wu Yong, who was behind him, also heard it and his face changed drastically. Oh no, I forgot about it.

"I said that you are also the descendant of Lord Yang. How about this? You lead your troops to join me in encircling and suppressing the bandits in Liangshan. I will personally write to the court to forgive your sins and find you an official position. This is better than becoming a bandit."
