Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

But it was too late, Liangshan's artillery opened fire, and several shells exploded around Gao Lian first.Another shell almost hit Gao Qi's horse, which made Gao Qi's horse neigh and his front hooves raised high, throwing Gao Qi off, and then ran away in a hurry.

Fortunately, Gao Li's personal guards were quick and quick to help him up, preventing him from being trampled by other frightened war horses.People called Ma Neighing, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.

When the first shell roared, Tong Guan immediately leaned over on the horse's back, seized the moment when the horse was not startled, beat the horse and fled away from Gao Lian's side.And the guards who followed him, who had seen the power of Liangshan artillery fire, also ran away with him.

The smoke of gunpowder was still in the air, and Liangshan's clippers approached the shore.The soldiers who disembarked first covered their mouths and noses tightly, and stood on the bank with their knives in hand, watching the court officers and soldiers staggering in the smoke.When Hu Sanniang and the others changed their boats and went ashore in a speedboat, no one could stand firm in the gradually dissipating smoke.

Lin Chong held his Zhangba Snake Spear in one hand, covered his mouth and nose with the other hand, and was about to go forward, when Lu Zhishen stretched out his hand to hold him.

"Don't worry, just wait a little longer."

Lin Chong stamped his feet, "Brother, I don't want to wait any longer. If I don't kill that fellow, there will always be a stone on my heart."

Hu Sanniang didn't watch how Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong were arguing, but just watched Gongsun Sheng command the soldiers to lay out the cannons on the building boat and the shells brought with the boat along the bank.

They set up artillery, some soldiers tied up the unconscious prisoners, and others formed a battle formation.The craftsmen who were busy in the dockyard, as well as the sergeants who helped the craftsmen carry the wood, were all dumbfounded in fright.A few armed men just woke up, and under the pressure of bows and arrows, they dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their arms.

The earth trembled, and the flags of various colors in the distance first came into view, and then the roar of horseshoes that was as heavy as stepping on people's hearts gradually approached.

Hu Sanniang commanded calmly, "Wake up those generals and push them to the front of the formation."

Gongsun Sheng was a little timid, "General, how many shots shall we fire first?"

"Are you afraid?"

"This..." Gongsun Sheng murmured in embarrassment, "Isn't it because I didn't bring Ma Jun here?"

While speaking, the cavalry of the brigade got closer.

"Okay, stop them with artillery fire."

Gongsun Sheng passed on the order, and shells roared and hit the galloping cavalry.Gao Qiu and others, who were crushed in front of the battle formation, saw the cavalry who came to the rescue turn upside down more than a mile away. Not only were the artillery disrupted, but the horses frightened by the artillery shells even ran wildly, fighting with each other. The collision knocked off some soldiers who were barely sitting on their startled horses.

Gao Qiu closed his eyes, not daring to look at the soldiers trampled by the horses. Only then did he realize that Tong Guan hadn't deceived him or exaggerated the power of the Liangshan artillery, and what happened in Gaozhou was not made up to excuse him.

These thousands of troops were summoned by Tong Guan who led the men back to the central army.He had to do this rescue. As for whether he could withstand Liangshan's artillery and rescue Gao Qiu and others, he didn't have time to think about it for the time being.

The artillery fire stopped, Tong Guan managed to gather the cavalry team together, and then he saw Gao Qiu and other generals not only tightly bound, but also with knives on their necks.

Tong Guan gasped, Liang Shan almost wiped out all the top generals of the 20 army.Reluctantly, he stepped forward, so many thoughts of destroying Liangshan and preventing the official abdication had to be put away.

Hu Sanniang watched Tong Guan riding out alone, getting closer and closer, thinking that this man was a smart man, knowing that if the army moved forward together, they would only face the bombardment of artillery.

When they were more than a hundred steps away, Hu Sanniang said to Lu Zhishen beside her, "Call Tong Guan to dismount."

Lu Zhishen shouted, "Tong Guan, the general orders you to dismount."

Tong Guan looked at the Liangshan army formation waiting in full force, and had to get off his horse with a bitter face, and walked forward step by step.Gao Qiu's eyes widened, did he come to die? With an army of 20, he came here with the whole army, how many shells Liangshan's artillery can fire, how much is there still a fight.

How could he have imagined that Tong Guan was scared out of his wits.The last time he was captured by Hu Sanniang from the tent of the Chinese army, although in Tong Guan's mind, he thought that Liang Shan had used drugs by surprise, but this time he was shot out with artillery, and he was killed by artillery. cavalry battalion...

Tong Guan walked to a place only ten steps away from Hu Sanniang, and saluted with fists in his hands.

"Chen Tongguan visited the official family, and hoped that the official family would forgive the minister for wearing armor and not being able to pay respects."

Hu Sanniang said lightly, "Excuse me. You already know that the Emperor Daojun is in Zen, why did you make such a big show of horsemen screaming for beatings and killing?"

Tong Guan's face turned pale, and regardless of the thousands of people around him looking at him, he said loudly: "I'm here to welcome the official's family into the Chinese military inspection school. I don't want to be misunderstood."

Tong Guan's words stunned everyone present. Those generals who didn't know that the official Zen position was given to Hu Sanniang hadn't realized the experience of being captured in a daze, and their heads were still numb.They are all thinking that this guy is worthy of being an eunuch, and he can recognize the flattering words of his master in the blink of an eye.

Gao Qiu was afraid of the knife on his neck, he didn't dare to turn his head, blushed, squinted his eyes and shouted: "Tong Guan, you, you..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he closed his eyes in despair.He thought of the man who claimed to be Lin Chong just now, and wished he could cut his heart out immediately. He understood that Tong Guan led the army back to Bianliang in a hurry, and understood that Tong Guan really had no way to deal with the Liangshan artillery, so he withdrew his army and returned to Beijing. of.He also guessed that Emperor Daojun must have been scared to the Zen position by some ghost tricks used by Liangshan.

After thinking about this, Gao Qiu also understood Liang Shan's meaning of releasing Tong Guan back to Beijing. He understood that Hu Sanniang disliked the fact that the number of soldiers brought by Tong Guan was not enough. I am doomed.

Tong Guan put down the helmet he was holding in his hand, took off the saber on his body, bowed and clasped his fists again and said to Hu Sanniang: "Emperor Daojun's edict to withdraw troops has arrived, only me and Taiwei Gao know about the Zen position and the general. .At the end of the day, the general will surrender to the general, and in the future, he will lead the horse and jump on the horse for the general, and swear allegiance to the death."

Lu Zhishen interrupted Tong Guan's words, "The general will be enthroned as emperor one day, so why should you lead the horse and fall?"

Tong Guan answered immediately, "Yes, our family made a mistake. The slaves are willing to accompany and serve the officials."

Follow the officials around, serve the officials?The people present were first attacked by Tong Guan's self-proclaimed slave, no matter how much you want to show your loyalty, you are still the general of the army, right?

Then everyone suddenly realized that Tong Guan was an eunuch, and it was possible for him to follow the empress.

"Hmph!" A few cold snorts of disdain, needless to say, were directed at Tong Guan.Tong Guan didn't dare to look up to see who was humming him, but he could tell that there was someone called General Wu Erlang who was watching him that night.

He couldn't help humming in his heart, after our family has served the new king and won the trust of the new king, I will ask you to settle the score!

The cavalry in the distance were all stunned, thinking that the commander was waiting for the general to be detained, and the deputy commander said that the leader came to rescue him, but he came to be bombarded, and then watched the deputy commander go to fight and beat the commander back?

The general who was next to Gao Qiu asked him, "Commander, has the throne of the official family been given to the bandits in Liangshan?"

The soldier kicked behind him, "Who are you calling a bandit? Our general is already the emperor, and we are the emperor's guards."

Gao Lian answered him with a "yes" from his throat with difficulty, then bowed his head in silence.

This person is Wang Huan, the Jiedu Envoy of Dongdong West Road. He has no personal relationship with Gao Qiu, but he was named to lead the army to encircle Liangshan because of his bravery.As soon as he heard that the officials were in Zen position, he immediately opened his mouth to scold Gao Qiu.

"Gao Qiu, you are so vicious, you got the news of the official Zen position and the general, why didn't you tell us? You lied to us to come to the shipyard to build ships, and you want to transport 20 troops across the water, and step down in one fell swoop. Ping Liangshan. General, Wang Huan, the last general, is willing to follow you and be at your disposal."

Hu Sanniang immediately asked the soldiers who were guarding him to untie him. The two soldiers pouted and obeyed their orders happily, untiing him first and then helping him up.

Following Tong Guan's example, Wang Huan took off his helmet and saber, clasped his fists and saluted Hu Sanniang, praised the mighty general, and said that he would be loyal to the general in the future.

Someone started it, and others followed suit.The emperor is already on the Zen throne, so it's not the same thing to be a general for whom.It is better to be a general who follows the founding emperor than to be despised by civil officials in peacetime.

It is no wonder that these generals turned their backs so quickly. The status of military officers in Song Dynasty was very low, not to mention civil and military officials of the same rank, even civil officials who were a few ranks lower dared to scold the Jiedu envoys who led the army.As for the soldiers, when they become a member of the army, they will have tattoos on their faces, which means they will die of old age in the barracks for the rest of their lives.

Gao Qiu and the others expressed their opinion, and said to Hu Sanniang: "General, I hand over my position as commander and pledge my allegiance to the general."

Lin Chong was anxious, would Hu Sanniang spare Gao Qi?

"Senior brother?" Lin Chong's eyes were bloodshot and his canthus were about to split and he turned to look for Lu Zhishen. He didn't shoot Gao Qi to death in time, but Hu Yanzhuo sent an order saying that the general wanted to use these generals.What's more, Lu Zhishen stopped him with military discipline, and persuaded him that the general allowed him to take revenge and would not let him down, so let him obey the military order first.

"Gao Qiu, you are different from these generals. They are the leading generals based on their personal ability, but you are a lucky minister and a sycophantic minister. Since you became the captain of the palace commander's mansion, I don't know how many people were framed by you innocently and led to the destruction of their families. Lin Chong .”

"The last general is here." Hearing that Hu Sanniang meant that he would not spare Gao Qiu, Lin Chong stepped forward to obey the order loudly.

"This relationship is for you to deal with."

"Thank you, General." Lin Chong was excited and tried his best to keep his voice steady, but it was inevitable that he couldn't restrain himself.

"Lu Da, untie the others. Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, you lead people to reorganize these 20 soldiers."

Four people came out in response.

When those generals met Qin Ming and the others, they either knew each other or had heard of each other's names.There are acquaintances around, and each heart gradually settles down.Obediently hand over the military power and accept Liang Shan's adaptation.
