"So Commander Duan and General Xuan are missing?"
Peng Qi looked at Guan Sheng and asked. Qinbei Pavilion
"It should have been captured by the people from Liangshan."
Guan Sheng suddenly realized that his lies were full of errors and omissions, and they might be exposed over time. However, since the words had been spoken, he had no choice but to continue making them up.
Guan Sheng's words made Huang Wenbing, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi silent for a while. They didn't know what to say. Xuan Zan was okay. Although he had the status of a county horse, he had already lost his power. In fact, he was just an ordinary person. officer.
But Duan Chang was different. He was an infantry lieutenant and had some status in the army. If this was reported back to Tokyo, they might not be able to explain it.
"We must destroy the bandits and rescue Captain Duan!"
Huang Wenbing looked at the four people present and said, if they can't achieve some results this time, none of them will be able to escape, and they will all be held accountable.
"Prefect Huang, I heard from the grain transport team today that the thieves held a heroes conference, and heroes from all walks of life came on stage to compete in their skills. It was very lively."
Han Tao looked at Huang Wenbing and said, today he is in charge of defense. Food and grass from Jeju arrived at noon. He heard some things about the Heroes Conference.
"Hmph! What do you mean by this? Do you have the ambition of a thief?"
Huang Wenbing snorted coldly, Yuncheng was too small, and six or seven thousand soldiers and horses suddenly arrived. The food and grass could not be supplied at all, so they had to be transported from Jeju.
"Prefect Huang didn't mean that. Today's hero meeting has ended. The thieves from all walks of life should retreat tomorrow..."
Han Tao shook his head and looked at Huang Wenbing.
"Huh? This..."
Huang Wenbing's eyes flashed and he instantly understood what Han Tao meant. Thieves from all over the world gathered in Liangshanbo this time. Now that the Heroes Conference is over, these thieves should also disperse. They can't do anything to Liangshanbo, but they can deal with those who came from afar. Forces that are short of manpower are not able to capture them at their fingertips.
"General Huyan, it's your turn to take action!"
Huang Wenbing looked at Hu Yanzhuo and said.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Huang, I will take Lian Ma Ma to the outskirts of Liangshanbo tomorrow."
Hu Yanzhuo cupped his fists knowingly.
"Peng Qi, Guan Sheng, you two assist General Huyan. Guan Sheng, I hope you will cherish the opportunity I have given you."
Huang Wenbing looked at Han Tao, Peng Qi and Guan Sheng again, and then named Peng Qi and Guan Sheng.
"yes!"
Peng Qi and Guan Sheng accepted the order with clasped fists.
"General Han, I heard that you come from a military family and that you won a martial arts competition in your early years?"
Huang Wenbing looked at Han Tao and asked.
"Yes, the last general won the martial arts competition many years ago and was later sent out as a training officer of the Chenzhou regiment."
Han Tao cupped his fists and said.
"Okay, you have passed the martial arts examination and you should be familiar with ordnance. Have you ever been able to use this three-bow bed crossbow?"
Huang Wenbing suddenly looked at Han Tao and asked.
"Three-bow bed crossbow!"
Han Tao, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and Peng Qi looked at Huang Wenbing with shocked expressions. The three-bow bed crossbow was a secret that was not passed down in the army. It was also a top secret in the Song Dynasty army and was not allowed to be equipped except by the elite forbidden troops.
"Yes, in order to destroy the bandits this time, Lieutenant Gao specially ordered twenty three-bow bed crossbows. The thieves have firearms, and we have bed crossbows, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Huang Wenbing said with an arrogant look, these are the means to suppress the situation. He would not be willing to take them out if he was not forced to have no other choice. After all, these three-bow bed crossbows are of great importance, and he cannot afford the slightest mistake. However, there is a clear stipulation that even if you are defeated, you must destroy the three-bow bed crossbow before escaping, otherwise you will be severely punished.
"With such a magical weapon, the thief will have no chance of escaping!"
Han Tao clasped his fists at Huang Wenbing with great joy. What he was most worried about was the artillery in Liangshan. In his opinion, the last defeat was caused by artillery. The soldiers on his side had never seen firearms at all, so they suddenly He was in a mess, and this time with the help of three bows and crossbows, he was no longer afraid of any firearms.
"Everyone, go get ready!"
Huang Wenbing, who had arranged everything, looked at everyone and said.
After everyone left, Yuncheng County Magistrate Shi Wenbin walked out of the back hall of the government office.
"Prefect Huang, I will be leaving my post tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye today."
Shi Wenbin looked at Huang Wenbing and said that he was supposed to go to Jeju Prefecture to report his duties, but because the army encircled Liangshanbo, the new Jeju Governor Huang Wenbing was stranded in Yuncheng, so he simply reported his duties in person and resigned.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this. The county magistrate is going to Tokyo to wait for a new assignment. Huang is here to congratulate you!"
Huang Wenbing smiled and cupped his hands to Shi Wenbin and said, although he is now the prefect and does not have to give face to a county magistrate, he is a newbie here after all, and there is no need to offend others when he finally gets an official position.
"The magistrate is joking. If things were better before, ever since Sun Lei came to Liangshan Bo, no one in the official assessment near this water park will be average or low-ranking."
Shi Wenbin shook his head helplessly and said, he had also thought about becoming a parent official to benefit one party, but Sun Lei suddenly landed in Liangshan Lake. Since then, there has been no peace around the water park. As an official of one party, how can it be good to have such an assessment of thieves and bandits under his rule?
"Why!"
Huang Wenbing smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yuncheng was right next to Liangshan. Shi Wenbin's trip to Tokyo was probably not going to have good results. He would probably be relegated to a remote place or be unemployed.
"Prefect Huang, there are few soldiers in Yuncheng City. The local soldiers can deal with the thieves, but they are a little unable to deal with giant bandits like Sun Lei. However, the county leaders Zhu Dian and Lei Heng are very skilled in martial arts, so they should be able to continue to do their jobs. .”
Shi Wenbin looked at Huang Wenbing and said, this can be regarded as a thank you for Huang Wenbing's blessing just now.
"These two are good people. Even if the county magistrate didn't tell me, I would still keep them as servants."
Huang Wenbing nodded and said that he was able to come back safely from the last battle thanks to the cover of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.
…
There was silence all night, and around the fourth watch, smoke rose from the kitchens in Yuncheng, followed by the sound of intensive drum beats.
"Pass this down, the whole army is well fed, and set out before the fifth watch!"
Hu Yanzhuo ordered to the herald in front of him.
"General Huyan, where should we wait for the thief?"
Han Tao looked at Hu Yanzhuo and asked. He was going to bring the three-gong bed crossbow this time. He had to know Hu Yanzhuo's battlefield so that he could find the best place to place the three-gong bed crossbow in advance.
"The thieves have artillery and warships. It is not advisable to go near the water. Let's go to the official road around Liangshan. These thieves must go here if they want to leave!"
Hu Yanzhuo pointed to Huangnigang on the map and said, Huangnigang is the only way to go west from Jeju.
"Huangnigang!"
Guan Sheng, Han Tao, and Peng Qi looked at the map and started thinking.
"This place is good. There is only one high ground within a radius of dozens of miles. From a high position, no thieves can escape."
Peng Qi smiled and praised.
"I wonder how Huyan Jianghu plans to fight?"
Han Tao looked at Hu Yanzhuo again and asked.
"I am not going to fight against the thief Zhou Xuan this time. If there are enough thieves coming, I will directly attack with a chain of armored horses and kill the enemy instantly!"
Hu Yanzhuo said with a murderous look on his face, last time he stayed with Zhou Xuan from Liangshan for too long and fell into the enemy's plan.
"Then this is a good place. I can place the bed crossbow on a high hill and shoot the enemy from a high position!"
Han Tao thought for a while and then said.
