According to Mr. Shi Naian, after the Liangshan heroes were recruited by the imperial court, in order to show off and give the imperial court a good impression, they first went to northern Xinjiang and fought with the Liao Kingdom until the Liao Kingdom knelt down and begged for mercy. The heroes of Liangshan returned triumphantly without any injuries. They garrisoned in Huangqiao Town and were received by Emperor Huizong.
Emperor Huizong was sitting on the dragon bed and saw Song Jiang and his group of heroes. They were all mighty and heroic. He was very happy. He specially gave Song Jiang a yellow vest and gold armor, and appointed Song Jiang as the vanguard officer to conquer Fang La. He was controlled by Tong Guan. Zhang Shuye was appointed as the military governor and envoy, and immediately went to the south of the Yangtze River to conquer Fang La.
Since Song Jiang was favored by the court, he was naturally overjoyed and full of confidence. He then put on the yellow vest and gold armor gifted by Emperor Huizong, and proudly led the Liangshan brothers to mount their war horses and fight all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.
Song Jiang took the Liangshan brothers to the bank of the Yangtze River first.
The Yangtze River is the largest river in China. It originates from the Tanggula Mountains. It passes from Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan through two lakes and two rivers, and then goes straight to the sea. It is thousands of miles away, so it is called the "Ten-thousand-mile Yangtze River".
Song Jiang and his party came to the edge of the Yangtze River, and saw the vast smoke and huge waves, which were very majestic.
On the other side of the Yangtze River was Runzhou, which Fangla occupied. With the Yangtze River as a natural moat, the privy envoy Lu Shinang commanded 50,000 Southern troops and garrisoned them tightly.
Song Jiang had a very deep plan and found out that Chen Guan and his son were colluding with Fang La to donate grain to Fang La. So he followed the plan and sent soldiers to pretend to be Chen Guan and his son and the villagers who donated grain. They hid the soldiers in the big ship and crossed the river freely. He sneaked into Runzhou City and set fire to it.
At that time, it was a dark and windy night, and a fire suddenly broke out in the city. It was so fierce that the soldiers guarding the city were in chaos, panicked, and ran around.
The inner line opened the city gate, and Song Jiang led his troops and horses, taking advantage of the situation to enter the city. They killed 50,000 Confederate troops indiscriminately. They abandoned their helmets and armor and ran away with their heads in their hands. They inevitably became the ghosts of the sword.
Seeing that his defeat was certain, Lu Shinang fled in panic and retreated into Dantu County.
Song Jiang fought this battle smoothly, but he also lost three brothers, namely Yunli King Kong Song Wan, Faceless Jiao Ting and Nine-tailed Fish Tao Zongwang.
Nayunli Jingang Song Wan is the founder of the old village of Liangshan. He has experienced three village masters: Wang Lun, the scholar in white, Chao Gai, the king of towers, and Song Jiang in time. He eats big chunks of meat, drinks from big bowls, and enjoys endless glory. Fu Gui, together with the faceless Jiao Ting and the nine-tailed fish Tao Zong Wang, were shot to death by random arrows from the Confederate army during the melee during the attack on Runzhou. They were trampled to death by horses and their bodies were never found in the capital.
When Song Jiang learned about the situation, he felt sad, and then reported Zhang Shuye's victory to Zhang Zhaoye, and asked Zhang Zhaoye to move his troops to appease Zhang Shuye. He took the Liangshan brothers and continued southward to Chang, Su, Xuan, and Hu prefectures. March.
The four prefectures of Chang, Su, Xuan, and Hu are all the gateways to Hangzhou. If you want to capture Hangzhou, you must first capture the four prefectures of Chang, Su, Xuan, and Hu.
Song Jiang and Lu Junyi adopted the strategy of dividing their forces to attack.
Gongming, Xianfeng of the Song Dynasty, led 13 generals and 29 generals, totaling 42 generals and 30,000 troops, to attack Chang and Suzhou.
The deputy vanguard Yu Qilin Lu Junyi led 14 generals and 33 partial generals, totaling 47 generals and 30,000 troops, to attack Xuan and Hu prefectures.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Let’s talk about Song Jiang’s drive southward first.
It is said that Song Jiang led 13 generals and 29 generals, a total of 42 generals and 30,000 troops, and galloped south. Within a day, they arrived at the foot of Changzhou City and set up an array. , beat the drums and call the formation.
Inside the city of Changzhou was Lu Shinang, who had fled from Dantu County to Changzhou.
When Lu Shixiang learned that the Song army had arrived, he stood at the top of the city and looked down. He saw Song Jiang's army and horses standing outside the city gate, preparing to attack the city. Lu Shixiang was furious. Lu Shinang thought to himself, Song Jiang, this naughty nigger, is not a human being, but a ghost. He was originally a grass bandit in Bo, Liangshan. He didn't want to dominate the king, but he didn't know the right time and went to subjugate the unprincipled king. Now he is Come and merge with my great country. If I don't kill him and leave nothing behind, he still doesn't know how powerful my great country is!
With this in mind, Lu Shinang ordered the city gates to be opened and the moat bridge lowered. He took the lead, led his troops out of the city, formed a formation, and shouted loudly in front of the formation: "Who dares to retreat the enemy?!"
Following Lu Shinang's question, a general in the tent stepped forward and replied loudly: "Qian will move forward with his effectiveness!"
This person is Qian Zhenpeng, the commander under Lu Shinang!
Qian Zhenpeng drove the red rabbit curly horse under his crotch, brandished the wind-splitting knife, looked at Song Jiang riding in front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to fight with me?!"
In the Song Army's formation, Song Jiang, the pioneer officer, was furious. He turned around and asked, "Who is going to kill this guy?" Before his voice fell, a knight rushed out of the formation, but it was Guan Sheng with a broad sword.
Dadao Guan Sheng didn't say anything. He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rode to greet him.
Guan Sheng and Qian Zhenpeng met each other, raised their swords together, and fought together.
On both sides, the drums beat loudly. Qian Zhenpeng and Guan Sheng fought hard for more than 30 rounds, but they couldn't decide the winner.
Zhao Yi and Fang Changchou were annoyed in the Southern Army formation. They all rode out of the formation. Together with Qian Zhenpeng, the three of them surrounded Guan Sheng and fought with each other.
When Song Jiang saw this, he was annoyed by Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin and sick Wei Chi Sun Li. One wielded the mourning gate sword and the other used the tiger eye whip, and rushed to the formation to help Guan Sheng.
Three pairs of six generals were fighting in front of the formation, and the war drums on both sides were beating loudly.
The six-member generals fought for a long time in front of the formation, but there was no winner or loser.
In Song Jiang's formation, Han Tao and Peng Qi were annoyed, so the two generals rushed out of the formation brandishing their swords.
In the southern army formation, Xu Ding and Jinjie came galloping.
Xu Ding faced Peng Qi, and Jin Jie faced Han Tao. They raised their four knives at the same time and started to kill.
After more than ten rounds, Jin Jie and Han couldn't hold back, turned their horses' heads and ran away. Han Tao picked up the horse's reins and chased after him.
In the formation of the Southern Army, Gao Ke immediately saw that Han Tao was in a hurry to pursue gold. He hurriedly took the carved bow, put a hard arrow on it, pulled it away, and shot Han Tao directly in the cheek. Han Tao fell off his horse. Come.
Seeing this, Peng Qi, the general of the Song Dynasty, became anxious and came to the rescue. Zhang Jinren rushed out from the side and stabbed him with his spear. With a pop, it penetrated Peng Qi's ribs. He knocked Peng Qi off his horse and died on the ground.
In the southern army's formation, Lu Shinang saw that his side had taken advantage. He drew his sword and pointed his sword at the southern army. The southern army rushed over and killed Song Jiang until he retreated for more than 20 miles before stopping.
Stopping the army and horses, Song Jiang cried loudly: "Who wants to cross the river and lose my five brothers? Is it possible that the emperor is angry and does not allow Song Jiang to search for Fang La, thereby damaging the army and generals?"
When Li Kui saw that Han Tao and Peng Qi were dead, he was furious. He picked up an axe, took more than 300 people, and went to Lu Shinang to fight.
When Lu Shinang saw Li Kui coming to kill him, he hurriedly said to the surrounding generals: "This nigger is the number one executioner in Liangshan. He is ferocious and brutal. You should be careful and careful."
Gao Keli and Zhang Jinren had just gained the upper hand, and in their excitement, they paid no attention to Li Kui, so they eagerly stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid of him! I'll kill him in the end!" After that, Then he rode his horse and rushed over to confront Li Kui.
Li Kui was originally a man with three and a half axes, and the first three axes were extremely sharp. In addition, he was extremely brave. When he met Gao Keli and Zhang Jinren, he clicked and clicked the two axes. He first chopped down the horses of Gao Keli and Zhang Jinren, and then again With two axes, Gao Keli and Zhang Jinren were hacked to death.
When Lu Shinang saw this, he was extremely frightened. He hurriedly retreated into the city, pulled down the moat bridge, closed the city gates, and defended tightly.
Song Jiang sent his troops forward and surrounded Changzhou City again.
That night, Jin Jie, who fought with Han Tao, originally wanted to seek refuge with the imperial court, so he sneaked onto the city wall at night and shot an arrow. There is a letter tied to the arrow.
The arrow tied with the letter fell into the Song army's formation. The soldiers of the Song Army picked it up and rushed them to Songjiang's tent.
Song Jiang opened the letter and saw that Jin Jie had written in the letter that he had agreed to set fire to the city at night and asked Song Jiang to take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Song Jiang was so happy that he arranged for the generals to prepare in advance. When the time came, they would just let go and kill him, leaving no trace of him behind.
At midnight, the fire was set on time on the Golden Festival. When the fire broke out, there was chaos in the city. Jinjie took the opportunity to arrange for people to lower the moat bridge and open the city gate. Song Jiang drove his troops in, cutting and killing indiscriminately. When Lu Shinang saw that the city was broken, he knew that there was nothing he could do to save it, so he took advantage of the chaos and fled.
Changzhou was recovered from this.
Now let’s talk about the situation of deputy pioneer Yu Qilin and Lu Junyi.
After the troops were separated from Song Jiang, the deputy vanguard Yu Qilin Lu Junyi drove his troops straight in and arrived at the gate of Xuanzhou City.
The general guarding Xuanzhou City was Fang La's envoy Jia Yuqing.
When the two parties met for the first time, they didn't know each other's details. Jia Yuqing sent commanders Li Shao, Han Ming, Du Jingchen, Lu An, Pan Jun and Cheng Shengzu. Lu Junyi sent Hu Yanjun, Dong Ping, Lin Chong, Suo Chao, Zhang Qing, and Mu Hong. The twelve generals from both sides were divided into six teams and started a melee.
Han Ming was stabbed to death by Dong Ping's two spears, Du Jingchen was stabbed to death by Lin Chong's spear, Suo Chao killed Lu An with an axe, Zhang Qing knocked down Pan Jun with a stone, and was picked up by Li Zhong, the general who attacked the tiger.
Lu Xianfeng waved his whip to urge the advance, and the Song army fought bravely to take the lead. Jia Yuqing could not defend the city and abandoned the city and fled.
Lu Xianfeng thus won Xuanzhou.
It's just a small detail in the battle that has to be specifically described.
It was said that several of the commanders who had survived Yu Qing's death hurriedly retreated into the city when they saw that the Song army could not fight.
Hu Yanjun, Lin Chong and other generals were in hot pursuit. The moat bridge had been pulled up on the city and the city gates were tightly closed.
Lu Xianfeng was furious when he saw this and urged his troops to attack the city.
The white-faced man Zheng Tianshou, the swordsman Cao Zheng, and Huo Shanpo Wang Dingliu led their brave soldiers, set up ladders, and climbed up. The guards on the city wall hurriedly shot arrows downwards.
The swordsman Gui Caozheng and Huo Shanpo Wang Dingliu were unable to dodge, and were shot in the head by arrows from the guards on the city wall. They fell down the ladder, and their heads fell into their chests.
Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced man, was furious and pointed at the guards and cursed them. He was determined to cut the guards into pieces before he could speak out in disgust. Before Zheng Tianshou finished cursing, a millstone flew down from the city wall, spun in a circle, and hit Zheng Tianshou on top of his head with a "pop". Zheng Tianshou's scolding stopped suddenly, and the ladder and the ladder were smashed to the ground by the millstone, turning into a ball of flesh.
After Song Jiang, the main vanguard, conquered Changzhou, he sent Dai Zong, the magical Taibao, to inquire about Lu Junyi, the deputy vanguard, how the battle was going?
Dai Zong tied two armored horses to his legs and performed some magic tricks. After a while, he arrived at the tent of deputy pioneer Lu Junyi.
Seeing Dai Zong's arrival, Lu Junyi hurriedly informed Dai Zong of the battle situation and asked him to go back quickly. He told his brother Gongming, the pioneer, that although he had lost three brothers, Zheng Tianshou, Cao Zheng, and Wang Dingliu, he had captured a huge city in Xuanzhou. It can be said that it was a victory in the first battle.
Dai Zongfu tied two armored horses to his legs, and started performing magical movements again. After a short time, he returned to the tent of Song Jiang, the leading vanguard, and told Lu Junyi, the deputy vanguard, that he had attacked Xuanzhou and captured it in one fell swoop. Song Jiang.
Song Jiang was naturally happy when he heard that Xuanzhou had been recaptured. When he heard that he had lost three brothers, Zheng Tianshou, Cao Zheng, and Wang Dingliu, he screamed and fell to the ground with a yellow face, purple lips, and blue nails. His eyes were blind and he lay flat on the ground without lifting his limbs.
I bet Song Jiang was overly sad and died?
The people around him were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly helped Song Jiang, rubbing his chest, rubbing his back, feeling for his pulse, and pinching his middle. Finally, Song Jiang gasped for breath. After being confused for a long time, I finally woke up.
Next, it was the same old routine again.
Song Jiang cried and said: "We brothers gathered together in Liangshan to support Xingkui. We are united in life and death. Unexpectedly, we have hurt several brothers. It really hurts to kill me!"
However, there is a long way to go to conquer Fangla, so how can we just die?
Therefore, all the brothers, especially Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, will inevitably figure out that "the distinction between life and death, and the life span of an individual are all determined by heaven and cannot be done by human power. Now, the capture of several cities in a row depends entirely on the divine power of my brother." "Brother, please keep your body intact. Please put away your sorrow and discuss personnel matters."
Song Jiang is a man who does great things. He knows that when heaven entrusts a great mission to him, he must first struggle with his mind, strain his muscles, starve his skin, and deplete his body before he can achieve great things. How can he not die in such a big war? personal?
Afterwards, Song Jiang was naturally full of energy, marched forward, and made meritorious service to the country.
