"Brother, there's the Tokyo Emergency News!"
Zhu Fu hurriedly rode over and handed a letter to Sun Lei. Sun Lei took the letter, opened it and started reading. Qinbei Pavilion
"Hu Yanzhuo? Song Jiang?"
Sun Lei smiled after reading the letter and handed it to Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang.
"Shi Qian has reported that Gao Qiu has promoted Hu Yanzhuo, the commander-in-chief of Runing County, to be the commander of troops and horses. Han Tao, the training envoy of Chenzhou regiment, Bai Sheng general, and Tianmu general Peng Qi, the training envoy of Yingzhou regiment, have been promoted to the left and right vanguards, and they have gathered the horse armies of the three places. Four thousand, six thousand infantry, a total of ten thousand, will come to attack me in Liangshanpo soon."
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.
"Is it because of the Heroes Conference?"
Zhu Fu asked quickly, they have all been busy with this matter recently. There is only more than a month left before the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
"Of course it's because of this, but this is all expected. By the way, are there any Jianghu people coming?"
When Sun Lei saw everyone reading the letter, he looked at Zhu Fu and asked. Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu are now responsible for receiving guests from all directions.
"No, not one."
Zhu Fu sighed and shook his head. They were all ready. The guest rooms of the newly built Longmen Inn outside Liangshanbo were all packed up, waiting for the heroes from all walks of life to arrive.
"It's okay, whatever is supposed to come will come."
Sun Lei smiled and said indifferently, the Dragon Gate Inn has been built, why are you afraid that no one will come?
"Brother, this time the imperial court sends troops to suppress it, this matter will soon spread, and by then no one will dare to come."
Zhu Fu said with some worry that the hero conference held in Liang Shanbo has spread all over the world. If no one comes to participate, it will not be easy to face.
"Haha, those who dare not come are just cowardless bandits. Would a true hero be afraid of the imperial army? The more he comes like this, the more capable he becomes."
Sun Lei laughed and said, who in the world would be afraid of the imperial court? However, such a move by the imperial army also screened out the unpopular people.
The imperial court sent troops to save the trouble of entertaining. If a mountain king came with hundreds of minions, Liangshanbo would be filled up with hundreds of mountain kings. It would be better to have some famous and strong people to make it lively.
"Hu Yanzhuo?"
Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Xu Ning all frowned.
"Brother, this person is the direct descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general from Hedong in the early days of the founding of the country. His single name is Zhuo. He wields two bronze whips and has the courage of thousands of men."
Yang Zhi said.
The Yang family and the Huyan family were both generals in the early Song Dynasty, and both families were from Taiyuan. They both belonged to the Northern Han Dynasty in the early days. The Huyan family returned to the Song Dynasty earlier than the Yang family. Later, the two families joined forces to fight against the Khitan, and they were also regarded as the main force in the northern resistance to the Liao Dynasty in the early Song Dynasty. The Golden Sword Yang Ye and the Iron Whip King Hu Yanzan were considered to be the two most outstanding players in Taiyuan at that time.
"Otherwise this time it will still be the Yang family's golden sword versus the Huyan family's iron whip!"
Sun Lei looked at Yang Zhi with a smile.
After Hu Yanzan returned to the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, with Hu Yanzan as the deputy vanguard. Liu Jun, the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty, moved in Liao soldiers and was defeated by the Song army. Liu Jun then asked the generals of the Yang family in Houshan to rescue the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yang Ye led his seven sons and 30,000 horses to come to the rescue. It's a pity that Yang Ye didn't have the chance to fight Hu Yanzan. On the contrary, Yang Wulang Yang Yande and Yang Liulang Yang Yanzhao successively fought against their fathers, but they only drew with Hu Yanzan.
"Thank you, brother. I'm going to test whether his Huyan family's iron whip is rusty!"
Yang Zhi was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said to Sun Lei. As a descendant of the Yang family, he must win this battle, not only for Liangshan but also for the prestige of the Yang family.
"Ten thousand people in the cavalry and infantry army is a very high-priced army."
Pei Xuan frowned and said, so many enemy troops are coming, which is a severe test for Liangshan's defense. Today's Liangshan is not just a village in the water, Liangshan must protect Liangshan Town and villages around the water.
"It just so happens that our Liangshan Army has just formed, so it's time to take them out and give them a try. Just training every day is not a problem."
Lu Zhishen laughed and said that his style was different from Lin Chong's. He came from the battlefield and pursued true knowledge through actual combat.
"I heard that Hu Yanzhuo has three thousand armored horses. He knows the art of chain armored horses and is invincible!"
Hao Siwen was silent for a moment and said.
"Serial armored horse!"
The few people who knew the art of war looked startled. They had also heard of Lian Jia Ma.
"Is it the armored cavalry charging in formation connected with iron chains?"
Sun Lei didn't quite understand. The serial armored cavalry on TV were armored cavalry charging into battle, but were finally broken by Xu Ning's hook and spear skills.
"Brother, the art of chain armor and horses first appeared in the Sixteen Kingdoms. At that time, Murong Ke selected 5,000 Xianbei people who were good at shooting, tied their horses with iron chains, and marched forward for Fang Chen, defeating Ran Min. Now the chain armor is After many years of optimization, the horse has become more and more sophisticated and has made great achievements in the war against the Khitans in the north."
Yang Zhi opened his mouth and said that as a general, he was no stranger to these, and he also knew how terrifying this kind of serial armored horse was.
"Brother, I am not very talented, but I am willing to break the chain of armor and horses!"
Xu Ning suddenly cupped his fists at Sun Lei.
"Can Teacher Xu break the chain of armor and horses?"
Everyone looked at Xu Ning in surprise. The cavalry was always difficult to deal with, and the chain of armored horses was even more difficult to stop.
"I'm not talented, but I have some knowledge of this technique. This serial armored horse was developed by the foreign tribes outside the Pass in the early years. When my ancestors fought against the Khitans in the early years, they relied on this hook, sickle and spear technique to deal with the foreign cavalry, and made many meritorious deeds, so they were named Teacher of the Golden Gun Class.”
"The serial horse army is a group of armored war horses connected by iron chains. One team after another overlaps and rushes straight away; bows and arrows are fired randomly on both sides, and there are long spears in the middle. The war horses in series with the iron chains run together, and you are not allowed to fail to rush towards them. Move forward. The chain of horse troops ran all over the mountains and fields, rushing towards them. When the army saw it, they had no choice but to move in disorder, and their strategy was uncertain. No matter how large a group of people were, they couldn't stop it, so they had to escape individually. "
"My little brother's family teaches the art of hook-and-scythe spear. He uses infantry to rush into a chain of horses without looking up at the enemy. He uses the hook-and-scythe spear to stab the horse's legs. The chain of horses is connected with an iron chain. If one horse falls, the rest will fall. If you can’t do it, if you push them hard, they will fall down in groups and trample on each other.”
Xu Ning said.
"I see, the Xu family's hook and sickle spear is indeed amazing!"
Everyone praised in unison.
"It just so happens that Teacher Xu's Fourth Battalion of the Infantry is practicing hook, sickle and spear, so the first formation will be handed over to Yang Zhi and Teacher Xu."
Sun Lei nodded.
"Brother is so biased, why should I go to the fourth battalion! I haven't even gone to the third battalion yet!"
Li Kui quit, so forget it if there is no infantry. Why should Xu Ning's fourth battalion charge ahead?
"Then you go up? Are you going to be trampled to death by a serial armored horse?"
Sun Lei glanced at Li Kui. Fighting for the lead in a battle is not like this. It depends on the capabilities of each battalion.
"I can also chop off a horse's legs!"
Li Kui said unconvinced.
"Let's wait until the time comes. I guess Hu Yanzhuo shouldn't be the only one with the troops this time. Tell Shi Qian and let him pay attention."
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Fu again and said.
"Brother, do you think Gao Qiu will increase his troops?"
Zhu Fu asked doubtfully.
"What do the two military advisors think?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang beside him.
"My brother is right. Gao Qiu hates Liangshan deeply. Although Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi are also generals of the same state, it is obvious that the three of them with an army of 10,000 cannot deal with Liangshan today."
Xiao Jiasui said, because of the Heroes Conference, Liangshanbo is now a holy land of rivers and lakes. Not to mention its strong strength, there are many leaders and minions. In addition, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are coming in droves this time, and an army of 10,000 is obviously not enough.
