After listening to Li Kui's words, Song Jiang was not angry and just shouted: "You guys, stop talking nonsense! Just go to the side and come when I ask you."

Li Kui walked away and said to himself: "If you kill a few flies, there is no need to make a fuss!"

Song Jiang ignored Li Kui's strange words. Marching all the way, he found a place to set up camp twenty miles away from Zhujiazhuang. He called the generals to discuss: "I heard that Zhujiazhuang built a three-story gable. There is a market outside the village."

It is wide and flat, connected to the main road, but when our army comes, he will definitely have deep ditches and dangerous fortresses, and he will be well prepared. He will first let two people go in to explore the twists and turns of the road, and then go in. After knowing the smooth and reverse route, they go in to fight against him."

Before anyone could answer, Li Kui said: "Brother, I have been idle for a long time and haven't killed anyone, so I will go and take a look first."

Song Jiang said: "Brother, you can't go. If we break the formation and charge the enemy, you need to go first. This is a delicate job, and you are not needed."

After that, he ignored Li Kui and summoned Yang Lin and Shi Xiu to explore the way.

So Yang Lin, the brocade leopard, dressed up as a magician, and Shi Xiu returned to his old profession, dressing up as a scrap dealer who picked up firewood. The two of them walked in the direction of Zhujiazhuang, one behind the other.

However, he said that the news had already arrived in Zhujiazhuang. The group of people gathered in great excitement and gathered at Chen Zhao's place to wait for his instructions.

"Everyone, Liang Shanbo dared to invade my Zhujiazhuang because of a chicken thief and two fugitives from Jizhou. He thought that he could rely on the strength of his people to covet the wealth of our Zhujiazhuang. What a bold and delusional idea!"

Chen Zhao spoke slowly: "Since we shocked the army of the Dianqian Division, we have been practicing every day, but we have not had the chance to fight properly. Now the opportunity has come, just in time to let them taste our power!"

"After all, Liangshanbo is a huge place. If we occupy this place, our career will definitely reach a higher level!"

Hearing Chen Zhao say this in an extremely calm tone, all his subordinates pursed their lips, controlled their excitement, and looked straight at Chen Zhao, waiting for his orders.

"Usually when bandits come to attack villages and towns, they will definitely send agents in to investigate the news. Everyone is ready to be on guard against the thieves. After lunch, after having a good meal, we will attack Liangshanbo together with me!"

"No! I will obey the order!"

Not only Zhu Xiaoyan and others, but also Zhu Long and Zhu Hu also bowed their hands and saluted, and responded to the order in unison.

Zhujiazhuang entered a situation of tightness inside and looseness outside, and soon captured Yang Lin, the golden leopard, and Shi Xiu, the desperate man.

It's no wonder that the two of them underestimated Zhujiazhuang. Ever since the night patrol lost Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu that night, everyone has been closely monitoring the area around Zhujiazhuang, and the merchants in the market are frequent visitors.

The merchants in the past were all familiar with each other, and everyone in Zhujiazhuang relied on Chen Zhao to make money, and everyone was prosperous. Naturally, they did not want to see Liang Shanbo gain power, and they all took up the responsibilities of Chaoyang people, so Yang Lin and Shi Xiu

As soon as he entered the Zhujiazhuang area, he was discovered and captured by everyone.

"I will give these two people a beating, put them in prison, and deprive them of food for three days. I will order five hundred men and horses and follow me to kill the thieves!"

Chen Zhao said calmly.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was slightly startled.

"Sanlang, although there are a group of thieves in Liangshanbo, there are also three thousand men, three hundred horse troops, and imperial officers like Hua Rong and Huang Xin as generals. We only have five hundred men and horses, I'm afraid.

Are you underestimating the enemy?"

Zhu Long said hesitantly.

"Yes, Sanlang, our Zhujiazhuang escort team has thousands of people, and we only bring 500 people. Isn't it too big?"

Zhu Hu also said.

"Haha, two brothers, Song Jiang looks like they are just a bunch of rabble when they look like they have a large number of people. I lead 500 men, so I can already look up to them! Let's see how I can defeat the enemy in one battle!"

Chen Zhao didn't take it seriously.

Just kidding, in the past dynasties, when officers and soldiers attacked thieves, they always attacked the enemy with elite troops, defeated them in one battle, and the rest was to hunt sheep everywhere.

This is true whether the Han army defeated the Yellow Turban Army or the Ming Army attacked the peasant uprising.

Ten to twenty thousand elite soldiers can defeat hundreds of thousands of rabble head-on.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses in Liangshanbo are just small bandits, incomparable to the Yellow Turban Army, the Breaking Army and the Great Western Army, and the troops trained by Chen Zhao consciously are better than the fifth school of the Northern Army and the Guan Ning Cavalry.

To deal with a mob of 3,000 people and use 500 men and horses, you really think highly of them!

…

But it was said that Song Jiang's army and horses were stationed twenty miles away from Zhujiazhuang. They were waiting for news from Yang Linshixiu when they suddenly heard a report from a sentry: "Zhujiazhuang has sent five hundred troops to attack my mountain stronghold. The leader is Zhu Biao!"

"What? Only five hundred people dare to come and stroke the tiger's beard?"

Li Kui stood up, raised the two xuanhua axes in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Brother, no one else needs to take action, I will kill him directly, capture Zhu Biao's son, and chop off his head!"

"Very good, I'm going to rely on my virtuous brother to be brave!"

Song Jiang was also furious and shouted: "My army is marching, and the city gates along the way are closed. I am frightened! There are 10,000 or 20,000 tenants in Zhujiazhuang, but Zhu Biao only brought 500 people with him.

You dare to come here to challenge me, the majesty of Liangshan, you really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth! Today all brothers work hard to move forward, capture Zhu Biao, and avenge the fallen brothers!"

Everyone agreed, and Song Jiang sent the general's order, and all the sergeants were in uniform. Li Kui and Yang Xiong were in the vanguard, and Li Jun and others led the troops to join the rear. Mu Hong was on the left, Huang Xin was on the right, Song Jiang, Hua Rong, Ou Peng and others

The leaders of the Chinese army marched out of the camp, waving flags and shouting, beating drums and gongs, and making bold moves.

The two armies stood still in front of the formation. On one side, people neighed, but on the other side, there was no sound at all.

There were also officers in Liangshanbo, such as Hua Rong and Huang Xin. They were all shocked. When they opened their eyes, they saw only 500 people on the other side. There were more than 20 columns in total, with more than 20 people in each column, forming a large square array.

Everyone was holding a spear, standing there quietly with their chests raised and their abdomens drawn back!

From time to time, a breeze blows, lifting the red tassels on the tips of the spears. This team is motionless, as if time has stopped!

They just stood there neatly, responding to those words, motionless as a mountain.

In front of the formation, there are more than a dozen horse-riding warriors dressed as generals, lined up on both sides. One person in the middle is holding a spear, and a white horse is approaching, which is extremely eye-catching.

Hua Rong and others were shocked in their hearts and paused their breathing unconsciously. Only Li Kui was unaware and stood up first and shouted loudly: "Thief Zhu Biao, please dismount and surrender quickly, otherwise, you, Grandpa Tieniu, will give you a blow with an axe."

Then I’ll chop off your head.”

When Chen Zhao heard the shouting, he took a look and saw that the man was like a black bear, with a full beard, yellow eyebrows and red eyes. He looked like a big black man, holding two Xuanhua axes in his hands, and he was shouting.

"This is Black Tornado Li Kui, brother, take him down first to boost everyone's morale."

Chen Zhao turned to Zhu Long and said.

In his opinion, to deal with these bandits, instead of rushing up and killing them, it is better to play a cat-and-mouse game and torture them thoroughly.

At this time, Zhu Long listened to Chen Zhao's words and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Sanlang, I will chop off his head right now!"

After that, he marched out in front of the formation without answering, leaped his horse, drew his spear, and went to kill Li Kui.

Li Kui shouted: "You are coming on horseback. Grandpa is afraid of you...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Long's spear had already stabbed hard, and Li Kui hurriedly swung his ax to block it.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, Li Kui let out a scream, and he felt an overwhelming surge of force that was simply irresistible. His arms suddenly went numb, the tiger's mouth immediately broke, and the two xuanhua board axes flew into the sky with a roar!

When the two of them clashed like this, Li Kui's iron-clad strength could not bear the blow, and his double axes were knocked away.

Zhu Long defeated Li Kui with one move, and without replying, he thrust out his spear and pierced Li Kui's throat. He then used his free hand to pull out a steel knife from the horse's backpack, cut off Li Kui's head, and rode back.

The whole process was so electric that everyone present felt as if Li Kui's head had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, dumbfounded, and looked in disbelief!

"tractor!"
