Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Huyan Zhuo said coldly,

"These Liangshan bandits are clearly incredibly audacious,"

"How could such a thief easily admit defeat!"

"In any case, it's best if we're all cautious."

"Otherwise, if we repeat yesterday's defeat at Jingyang Town,"

"How can the three of us return to Tokyo and face Minister Cai and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Tianmu General Peng Qi and Baisheng General Han Tao...

They all nodded silently...

Chapter 762 Hooked Spearmen

As Huyan Zhuode instructed...

Tianmu General Peng Qi and Baisheng General Han Tao,

The government army was divided in two.

Huyan Zhuo's thousand armored soldiers,

Two thousand elite soldiers were also encamped outside the town.

The remaining ten thousand or so troops

They all lived in empty houses in the town.

Just in case.

Huyan Zhuo also specifically arranged scouts around the area.

Fearing a sneak attack from Liangshan,

Even the side of the town facing the water,

He also arranged several squads of soldiers,

They took turns monitoring the movement on the lake.

After this arrangement,

Huyan Zhuo was finally relieved.

But these,

In Yunlong's eyes,

But he only felt that Huyan Zhuo was excessively cowardly.

After returning to the inn where they were temporarily staying in Jingyang Town

Yunlong couldn't help but complain to his father, Yun Tianbiao.

"This General Huyan is a descendant of a famous general in the Huyan family,"

"How can you be so timid?"

If it were yesterday,

Yun Tianbiao might still act like his son.

He expressed his disdain for Huyan Zhuo's arrangement.

But after yesterday's defeat,

In Yun Tianbiao's heart,

They have begun to pay attention to Liangshan.

Now let's look at Huyan Zhuo's arrangement.

This made General Huyan appear quite composed.

"What do you know?"

Huyan Zhuo glared at his son, annoyed.

"If it were yesterday, could you have arranged things so flawlessly, just like General Huyan?"

"How could our Jingyang Town troops possibly be completely wiped out?"

"It's not all my fault,"

Yunlong muttered to himself,

"You were the one who gave away the elite infantry..."

"What did you say?"

Yun Tianbiao didn't hear his son's mutterings clearly.

He immediately asked loudly,

"N-nothing,"

Yunlong answered somewhat fearfully.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave,

Unexpectedly, Yun Tianbiao suddenly called out to him.

"Don't leave yet!"

"For some reason, I felt uneasy."

"Walk with me in this yard!"

"Yes!"

Yunlong dared not disobey his father's orders.

He could only follow behind Yun Tianbiao.

They began to inspect the small courtyards where they were stationed one by one.

.....

at the same time,

In the woods about four or five miles from the town,

After traveling for most of the day, they encountered the Liangshan cavalry.

They are hiding here right now.

Zhao Yuan sent the daredevil Shi Xiu with men to investigate the situation of the government troops in the town.

The remaining leaders and soldiers,

They all started eating dry rations.

Take time to rest.

Half an hour later,

Having ascertained the situation around the town, Shi Xiu...

He told Zhao Yuan everything he had seen.

"I didn't expect the government's army to be divided into two groups?"

Zhao Yuan said with a headache,

"Those thousand heavily armored cavalrymen just happened to be stationed outside the town!"

The Huyan family's iron-clad linked cavalry was extremely famous throughout the Song Dynasty.

To deal with this chain of horses,

Liangshan also specially trained a unit of hook-and-sickle spearmen.

But this time it was a night raid.

Ma Jun is currently in the woods here.

And the infantry,

Including those hook-and-sickle spearmen,

They were all in the water.

They got on the boat from Liangshan.

Although these five thousand cavalrymen launched a surprise attack on the government army camp

They will definitely win big.

But in the end,

Faced with a series of casualties among the horses.

It certainly won't be small.

"Brother, I'll contact the navy and ask them to send the hook-and-sickle spearmen ashore ahead of schedule."

Shi Xiu suggested.

"you?"

Zhao Yuan frowned.

In preparation for a night raid,

His generals,

Almost none of them were familiar with swimming.

The Ruan brothers, leaders of a group of naval forces,

There were also Longhu, Xiongjiao, and Zhang Shun.

They were all in the water, helping the infantry transport troops.

"Don't worry, brother, I grew up in Jiankang Prefecture after all,"

Shi Xiu, the daredevil, patted his chest and guaranteed,

"In terms of swimming skills, I may not be as good as the Ruan brothers,"

"But I don't care about this calm and peaceful place."

"Well,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

He added,

"Be careful and don't be reckless!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm going!"

After Shi Xiu finished speaking,

He then hurried toward the pool.

.....

An hour later,

Four medium-sized warships were moored on the shore of the marsh.

Shi Xiu was soaking wet.

He disembarked with two thousand hook-and-sickle spearmen.

They quietly slipped back into the woods where the Liangshan cavalry were hiding.

"here you go!"

Zhao Yuan patted Shi Xiu on the shoulder approvingly.

Then he looked around at everyone.
