Chapter 599 Plan to break the water village (5)
Liangshan’s village, and the leaders of the mountain village were staring at the battle situation of the water village below with inexplicable horror. They would never dream of it. In just one night, everything would turn upside down. The three water villages that they regarded as the strongest reliance and defense line would fall into such a desperate situation!
When the fire suddenly rose with the sound of killing last night, everyone on the mountain had already run out to find out. Song Jiang immediately sent someone to three water villages to investigate the situation. Due to the influence of night and distance, everyone in the village on the mountain could not truly grasp the battle situation below.
Then soon after, terrible news came back one after another. First, Xizhai was lost, and the three leaders were all unaware of life and death. Even the brother who went down the mountain to investigate the situation was almost captured by the official army. Finally, the bad news came from the Beizhai that Zhang Shun was captured and Zhang Heng had no choice but to surrender...
When these two news came back to the mountain village, the brothers in the village were immediately in anger. Many people shouted and said they would go down the mountain to kill the enemy. Chao Gai, who had not healed, vomited blood because of his anger and attacked his heart, and fell into a coma on the spot. This made Song Jiang suddenly fumed. While treating Chao Gai, he comforted the brothers and tried his best to suppress everyone's reckless actions. Finally, the situation was regained control.
In fact, as long as the calm mind is aware of Song Jiang's good intentions, the morale of the army in the village is already in chaos. Once the brothers who are not opponents of the government army really kill and rescue them, they will only hit the enemy's thoughts. It is most likely that the end of losing troops and losing generals will only make the situation worse.
After spending this unpredictable night in pain, when the day was bright and everyone turned their eyes to the water camp below, everyone realized that a greater crisis had arrived. The official army had gathered all its forces to aim at the remaining Dongzhai. Moreover, when they saw the arrangement of the fire ships, many people had guessed their true intentions, and this situation was no solution!
"Brother, what should I do? We have to think of a way. We can't see that even Dongzhai is lost and that Li Jun and other brothers are trapped in!" This time everyone was really anxious. Even Hua Rong couldn't help but scream, and some brothers who were good friends with Li Jun and others were all impatient and proposed to take the initiative to go down the mountain to support Dongzhai.
"Brother, in my opinion, we might as well take this opportunity to send troops from the southwest two routes and take back those two water camps first!" Huang Xin was the most calm among the brothers on the mountain. At this time, he also made the most reasonable suggestions: "From the situation of the official army, we should have put all the naval forces that can be invested in in front of the East Village. The other two villages must now have empty troops, and we are just using troops."
"Brother Huang Xin said very much." Wu Yong also hurriedly echoed: "And as long as we regain these two water camps, we can rescue Dongzhai again, which will reverse the current situation."
Song Jiang quickly weighed and thought in his heart, and finally nodded, "What you said is, just do as you want. Ask the brothers to kill and take back the village!"
But just as his order was issued, several black smoke had already rolled up from the northwest direction, and then the sky-sky fire continued to rise from the two water villages. When everyone screamed, Song Jiang's whole body trembled, and his face was even more difficult to see: "Sun Tu, you are such a ruthless method!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Tu didn't give them a chance to turn the tables, and he actually set fire in two villages at this time. In this way, these two water villages were completely destroyed. Even if the people of Liangshan really killed them down the mountain and regained the two places, they were left with only a piece of ruins. I'm afraid that even the ships might not be able to find several ships, so they naturally could not rescue Dongzhai with this.
Everyone who was about to go down the mountain was stunned. At this time, they had no idea what to do. Someone shouted loudly: "Since the official army has deployed heavy troops in our water camp, the military camp at the foot of the mountain will inevitably be empty. Why don't we take this opportunity to attack their main camp? This will not only force them to retreat, but may also win."
Although this statement received a lot of responses, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others smiled bitterly and shook their heads. This was simply an unrealistic delusion, because it was impossible for them to kill them from Liangshan Village for a moment.
On the way down the village, there is still a pass that can't be crossed. That pass not only cut off the possibility of the official army attacking the mountain, but also completely cut off the possibility of the Liangshan army going down the mountain. Even if they quickly rebuilt the bridge at this time, it would not be possible to accomplish anything in a moment. With that time, the official army had already captured the East Village.
At this moment, Song Jiang and others felt a little regretful. If they had known this, they would not have cut off the Yuannan Ferry and only borrowed a few checkpoints from behind to resist the official army. Now, this really turned out to have taken a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, trapping thousands of their own people to death in the parody.
"This is not enough, that is not enough. Are we just watching Dongzhai completely lost? Brother, we have to make an idea to save people..."
"Yes, save people, save people first and then mention others!" Song Jiang suddenly reacted. After only a moment, he had made a decision. He immediately called a brother and gave a few hurried instructions. Although everyone was unable to accept such a result, it seemed that there was no better choice at this point, and in the end they all agreed with his arrangement.
A moment later, Song Jiang's confidant hurried down the mountain and came to the East Village. He saw Li Jun who was undecided in his own way. At this time, it had been a while since the ultimatum issued by Sun Tu. Seeing that the government army was about to raise fire, everyone in the water village was confused and unable to settle down. Seeing that someone from the village came down, he hurriedly looked at him. Li Jun even asked anxiously: "Brother Gongming, is there any solution?"
"Brother Gongming has an order to ask Leader Li to give up Dongzhai now and lead his brothers back to the mountain and think of his way."
This decision surprised everyone. Obviously, no one expected that Song Jiang would give such a countermeasure. But after careful consideration, Li Jun still recognized that this was not a solution. This was the most important idea to ensure that the brothers were not damaged. As for Dongzhai, we can only leave it for later and then take it back.
At this moment, the official army cried out again outside: "Master Li, have you made a decision? If you are willing to surrender, you will quickly open the gate of the village. If you don't make a sound, we can only attack with fire!"
Li Jun secretly hated him, and at the same time he had a quick solution. While asking someone to quickly gather to retreat to the mountain road behind, he ran to the bamboo building in front of the village and shouted to the government army outside: "It's over, I, Li Jun, just ask Sun Dujian not to kill the lives of my brothers."
"Sun Dujian has always been kind. As long as you wait for your sincere surrender, you will not make things difficult for you. Not only that, we can also ask the court to be appointed as an official." The answer from the other side was straightforward.
But Li Jun put forward his own conditions: "It is okay to ask me to open a village to surrender, but you need to remove the fire ships first. It is not that I believe in Sun Dujian's sincerity, but it is related to the safety of hundreds of brothers in the village. I must be cautious. If you take advantage of the situation to set the fire ships in my village, we will die without a place to bury!"
With this request, the military soldier who was circulating the message naturally could not make any decision, so he could only return to report immediately and see what his own capital jail was thinking.
When Shan Tinggui and the others heard this request, some people doubted Li Jun's purpose: "Dujian, is this a delaying strategy for the bandits? They always feel that the request they made is a bit strange."
"At present, can delay solve any problem? Now we have all destroyed the two northwest villages. Even if the bandits on Liangshan want to go down and grab them, it is useless. We are determined to win the Dongzhai. Even if it is given two or three days, it will be useless, let alone a half-hour." Sun Tu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Since they have requests, let alone show them our sincerity, pass on our military orders, and first withdraw the fireboat to the rear. But brothers, don't relax your guard, prepare all bows and arrows for me. After doing all this, urge them to open the village gate."
At this moment, the government army quickly took action. The fire boats that had been arranged before slowly dispersed and retreated to the rear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the defenders in the village had quickly retreated along the mountain road to the village along the mountain road. However, because they retreated in a hurry, they no longer had to take away other things. Many weapons, armor, ships and other objects were left in place, and they didn't even dare to burn them, for fear that once the smoke rose, the government army would know their purpose.
When the fire ship was withdrawn and the official army sent someone to urge him, the village was already silent and no one responded at all. When the soldier shouted a few more times and still no one agreed, he realized that the situation had changed and quickly returned to report.
When Sun Tu sent people to the village again, and even climbed up the wall with ropes and looked inside, everyone was surprised to find that the water village was empty and there was no ghost. The hundreds of people here actually fled up the mountain under the eyes of the government army!
This result made everyone angry and scolded the thieves for being cunning and untrustworthy. However, Sun Tu smiled without anger after looking around in front of the village: "This Li Jun is a character. He knows how to preserve his strength and retreat voluntarily. But even so, it is not a bad thing for us. At least in this way, we don't have to spend a single soldier to capture one of their water camps again. In this way, all Liangshan water camps have been destroyed by me. Can he still defend his last mountain village?"
This made everyone react, and then the anger of the previous one turned back to joy. Yes, although the enemy retreated, his family still achieved a critical victory. Moreover, in this case, the government army broke through the three most difficult water camps in Liangshan overnight at the lowest cost, which was really a rare victory.
