Looking at the world of Water Margin, although Hua Monk Lu Zhishen's overall martial arts is not among the top, but when it comes to foot combat, except for Wu Song, Deng Xi, Deng Yuanjue and other few people who can match him, the others are inferior to Lu Zhishen.

Faced with the strength to pull out weeping willows and the sixty-two-pound water-milled iron Zen staff, he inherently lost his advantage.

At this time, Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo were knocked off their horses by Lu Zhishen. Zeng Suo was frightened to death by Lu Zhishen. He mechanically waved the three-legged fork in his hand to resist, and he no longer had any thoughts of avenging his brothers;

It turns out that Zeng Tu had learned 60 to 70% of Shi Wengong's skills, and his steel-pointed spear made him look like a general. Just now, he could withstand Lu Zhishen's crazy Zen staff, which was as powerful as breaking mountains and rivers.

Shi Wengong saw the situation and feared that something might happen if the two men continued to fight, so he immediately ordered his troops to retreat and asked Su Ding to lead hundreds of people to bring Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo back to the formation. The large group of people turned back to Zengtou City, and the city gate was closed

Close up and stand ready, waiting for Du Bo to attack.

Seeing that the Zengtou City troops had withdrawn into the city, Du Bo was hesitating when a young general in red rode up from behind. When he came to Du Bo's side, he said: "Brother Du Bo, I want you to go towards Xizhai and Zhongzhai."

Attack the stronghold for a while to explore the reality."

Hearing this, Du Bo smiled slightly and thought about Zhu Biao. According to the news from Shi Qian and Yu Baosi earlier, the Zengtou City main village was headed by teacher Shi Wengong, and the Beizhai was headed by the eldest son Zeng Tu and his deputy.

Teacher Su Ding, the second son Zeng Mi lives in the South Village, the third son Zeng Suo lives in the West Village, the fourth son Zeng Kui lives in the East Village, and the fifth son Zeng Sheng and his father Zeng Nong serve as guards in the Middle Village.

Zeng Mi and Zeng Kui were captured alive by the Lingzhou army led by Wei Dingguo last night, and today Zeng Sheng was also killed by Lu Tijia. Of the five villages outside Zengtou City, it is equivalent to three of them already existing in name only; now only

Taking advantage of the situation, the Xizhai and Zhongzhai were captured, and one of the three surrounding areas was missing. The missing side was Zhu Biao's retreat for the Han people in Zengtou City.

After a while, Du Bu sent Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen led a thousand horse and infantry troops to attack the Xizhai, Li Ying and Sun An led a thousand horse and infantry troops to attack the Zhongzhai. The four generals each received their orders and led their troops towards the Xizhai and Zhongzhai.

On the high hill in the rear, Zhu Biao said to Wei Dingguo on the side: "General Wei, our Dulonggang capabilities are limited. All we can do is help clear the peripheral obstacles. How to break through Zengtou City in the future will have to be taken by General Wei."

idea."

When Wei Dingguo heard this, he took a deep look at him, and felt an inexplicable fear and fear of Zhu Biao in his heart. This man, Yin Yin, had many soldiers, and all of them had extraordinary abilities, not to mention the man next to him.

The descendant of the green-faced Yang clan was the commander of the army in Dulonggang not far away, and he was even more talented than himself as a general. However, this Taishan Lord remained hidden, only making small profits and doing nothing to others.

Don't care about the credit.

Thinking about it in Wei Dingguo, such a person was either indifferent to fame and wealth, or had bigger plans. Obviously Zhu Biao could not be the former; only a low-level general like General Shenhuo did not have much identification with the Song Dynasty court, and he only

See through without telling the truth, Tao.

"Master Zhu, now that our Lingzhou army has lost more than half of its troops last night, it is up to the rebels in Dulonggang to handle the follow-up matters. As for how to write a report after this battle, Wei can just follow Master's arrangements."

Zhu Biao was a little surprised when he heard what he said. In the original text of Water Margin, Wei Dingguo was somewhat arrogant. Although he had extraordinary abilities, he defeated the big sword pass one after another, and finally came to an end because of Shan Tinggui's betrayal.

However, even if he was at the end of his rope, Guan Sheng would have to ask him personally before he would surrender. Therefore, Zhu Biao did not expect that General Shenhuo would say these words at this time.

"Mr. Zhu, are you curious about why Wei would say such a thing?" Wei Dingguo saw the doubt on Zhu Biao's face, smiled, and then said.

"Brother Shan was in unbearable pain from the arrow wound last night, so I talked with him all night. Brother Shan spoke highly of Mr. Zhu. This time, Mr. Zhu saved brother Shan's life. The two brothers should have given the credit to each other, but

Now it seems to Wei that Mr. Zhu doesn't seem to value these achievements, that's why he said this."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt relieved. It would be great if Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui could cover this time. It would allow all the generals under his command to show their strengths and train troops better.

Effect.

"Thank you so much, General Wei," Zhu Biao said in thanks to Wei Dingguo.

Wei Dingguo returned the gift with his hand and said: "Just now, Mr. Zhu has sent people to attack the Xizhai and Zhongzhai. I think there will be results soon. Next, Zengtou City will be an isolated place. How does Mr. Zhu plan to break the situation?"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Dingguo. Wei Dingguo opened it and looked at it carefully, his expression changed, and he said angrily: "These Jurchens are simply lawless. They regard the Song Dynasty as nothing, and they want to escape."

Get through this calamity."

"But they are not wishful thinking. If this letter is really delivered to Tokyo, Zengtou City will definitely be preserved. Now the officials of the Song Dynasty are dreaming of joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty and regain the land of Yanyun.

But I don’t know that this Jurchen is more ferocious than the Khitan people." Zhu Biao said quietly.

"Raising tigers brings disaster!"

Wei Dingguo sighed bitterly. Lingzhou was not far from the border between Song and Liao. Wei Dingguo had also heard about the Battle of Hubu Dagang between Liao and Jin last year. Such a magnificent military victory would be a big deal in the eyes of any general.

What is extremely terrifying is that although he does not know the specific situation of the Jin Kingdom, Wei Dingguo still feels that the Jurchens will be the number one enemy of the Song Dynasty in the future.

"From this point of view, the battle in Zengtou City should be done quickly rather than slowly. We still need to break through Zengtou City as soon as possible, so as not to give it a chance to breathe and allow someone to detect it and come to stop it."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "General Wei is right. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible within three to five days, so that we can deal with the follow-up matters."

Zhu Biao looked at Zengtou City in the distance. At this time, the Xizhai and Zhongzhai on the periphery of Zengtou City had been broken. Shi Wengong retracted all his troops back to the main stronghold and only focused on guarding the main stronghold of Zengtou City.

"General Wei, the letter just now was written by Zeng Nong a few days ago. According to the speed of the galloping horse, he should be on his way back at this time. Zeng Nong didn't know that the letter was robbed by Zhu. I'm afraid he is still waiting for Tokyo.

Through the mediation of the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin in the city, according to his wishes, in the past few days, he asked Du Bo to set up an offensive every day. After two or three days, the general made a gesture to withdraw his troops. He just wanted to make the people in Zengtou City feel

The imperial court decided to let the officers and soldiers of Lingzhou withdraw. Then after the general left Zengtou City, he detoured to the direction of Qingzhou, rushed to Zengtou City again as Qingzhou reinforcements, and led Zengtou City to send troops. At that time, we will take advantage of the situation to seize the city.

Let’s destroy this group of aliens in one go.”

After hearing this plan, Wei Dingguo nodded, and then heard Yang Zhi, who was silent, say: "Sir, according to Yang Zhi, this plan needs to add an insurance. Now that Zengtou City has lost its outer barrier, it has reduced its troops.

On the contrary, it is not easy to break. If you want to be on the safe side, you need to have internal measures."
