Chapter two hundred and ninety-six strangulation
On the banks of Shanling River, with a rain of arrows falling overwhelmingly, the two thousand bandits caught off guard were killed or injured.
But after all, it is a projectile, and the accurate head can only look at the sky, and not many people die.
The target landing point was where Song Jiang and others were. The ground was almost full of arrows, but here were all the bandits in the world with excellent skills. Most of them were quick-witted and quickly avoided them. Only a few of them who could not dodge were nailed to the ground.
Song Jiang and others were attacked by surprise and knew that something was wrong.
This place is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is a very dangerous place. There are only dense forests ahead of you at the exit. You only need a thousand officers and soldiers to block them wherever they can't fly.
The two thousand people gathered here are all bandits in the world. In terms of personal martial arts, they are definitely not opponents of the Black Feather Guard. There is no need to mention the battle formation. If a group of deserters in the Horse Gang can beat the Black Feather Guard who is one in a hundred miles, they will not have to be deserters.
Before the two sides received the enemy, Song Jiang Quzhe and others knew that they had no chance of winning and were ready to let their subordinates block the Heiyu Guards and they swam through the river.
It’s a pity, just as Yan Hanqing said: It’s too late!
The eagle cries kicked off the bloody battle tonight, and also destined to be the ending of corpses all over the field tomorrow morning.
A wave of people with good water nature chased Cao Hua. As soon as they got into the water and swam far away, an official boat floated down from the upstream, and more than ten small boats followed closely behind.
There were three black feather guards on each boat, one rowed, two held long poles with inverted hooks, one hooked up the bandits who fell into the water, and one stabbed them to death.
The water was already unhappy, and more than a hundred people who went into the water could not hide. They were quickly stabbed and killed. Only a few fish that had escaped the net climbed onto the shore and ran towards the forest.
At the top of the official ship, Han'er was dressed in black and holding a telescope that Cao Hua had made while in his spare time to look at the situation in the dense forest. Li Bairen next to him used a flag to issue orders and encircled and strangled the two thousand desperate bandits.
Most of the people in the martial arts world here are bandits from all over the world. Although they have no cooperation, they have strong combat capabilities in individual soldiers and surrender is also the fate of Qiu Hou's death. The morale of the fight against the water is very strong. Seeing that the waterway was blocked, they gathered together and broke out without fear of death.
Today, Diankuis's men and horses came out in full swing, and two thousand Black Feather Guards and Eagle Claw Room gathered from all over the country.
It is not easy to cultivate spies in the Eagle Claw Room. They can come forward when they show their pomp. If they really fight, they will definitely not be able to play. They just shoot arrows from behind. Since the encirclement has been formed, the Black Feather Guard will definitely not rush in to fight the trapped beasts. They just line up in the dense forest and push forward slowly. With the advantage of equipment crushing, they gradually compress the living space of the two thousand bandits, and wait for the opponent's morale to collapse before the end.
In just half an hour, a corpse was left in the dense forest.
After Song Jiang and others failed to break through several times, they knew that the Black Feather Guards were now very motivated and could not rush over. They could only mobilize their respective subordinates and slowly retreated to the vicinity of the Heshen Temple. They piled up simple fortifications with the timber that was cut at first, and defended with a short bow, waiting for the opportunity to break through.
In the dense forest, there were soldiers led by Xu Ning, deputy envoy of the Black Feather Guard. Xu Ning was born in Kyoto and was good at fighting in battles. Today, he was not allowed to take the lead in charge. He felt a little unhappy.
Seeing that the opponent stopped attacking, Xu Ning used his instinct to verbally, stood in front of the Black Feather Guard with his waist and shouted:
"Quzhe, you, the rat who escaped in the face of trouble, dare to lead troops... Song Jianggui's grandson, no wonder the wife is getting along with others, you are so cowardly..."
He scolded all the leaders and leaders.
The Eagle Claw Room is well-informed and basically knows all kinds of secrets.
Some of the bandit leaders hiding in the mountain temple only learned from Xu Ning today that they had been miserable by someone, or that their wife and apprentices had already gotten along.
For a moment, the leaders in the Mountain God Temple were furious and cursed. If Song Jiang had not tried his best to stop him, he might have rushed out again.
Hei Yuwei arrived at the "fast" in order to arrive before the news was transmitted from the secret stake in the capital. He had basically no rest on the road. Although he took the initiative, it would be impossible to spend it like this.
Xu Ning cursed him for a long time with a provocative method. No matter how ugly it sounds, the other party still did not break through and had to lead people to rush forward.
Although Liangshan military advisor Wu Yongzai was at a disadvantage and could not fight head-on, he was at ease in defending. He used the terrain to block the Black Feather Guard outside and took the opportunity to consume the Black Feather Guard's physical strength.
This made a few more rushes back and forth, and the sky gradually darkened.
The original shouts of killing gradually decreased, and the situation continued to stalemate.
On the official boat, Li Bairen was a little anxious and ran to Han'er to urge:
"I took people from here to land and disrupt their formation with one sword, otherwise I would definitely not be able to fight in a while. The bandits in Xuzhou must have received the news. Maybe they will come to save the people tomorrow morning and cannot be delayed."
Han'er's eyes were slightly cold, and she shook her head: "Song Jiang put on a turtle shell, so she must be on guard against the river, so you can't rush up."
"The governor is not here, what can I do?" Li Bairen crossed the steps back and forth, looked at the forest across the river, worried about Cao Hua's safety.
Han'er thought for a while and raised her hand to call the Lord Bo who came with him: "Go and take the things made by the governor."
The Lord Bo received the order and soon brought several elm cannons and explosive packs from the ship.
Li Bairen used this thing for the first time and had never trained how to cooperate with the battle formation before. It was a bit difficult to pick up the explosive pack:
"The governor is not here, how can I send this thing in?"
Han'er thought about it, but she had a plan in her mind...
------
Hebo Temple can shelter from the rain, and Song Jiang and others sat there, discussing how to break through.
Although Qu Zhe escaped at the beginning, he still had some generals. After analyzing the current situation, he spoke:
"The Black Feather Guard suddenly appeared and we didn't receive the news. We must have been rushing thousands of miles away. We were trapped in the crowd and couldn't hold on for too long. We waited for the waterway to break through in the early morning. There was a great opportunity."
Song Jiang's face was gloomy and thought for a while: "Breaking through the water road, you can only send half of the people to defend the enemy. All the rest of them go down the river. How many people can escape can only be seen by the sky. If you fail to break through this, you will never have a chance to defend.
The Black Feather Guard came out in full swing, and I was trapped here. Brother Liangshan must have received the news and rushed towards this side. As long as he can defend for three days, the vanguard will arrive. With the help of the inside and outside, there will be many opportunities to break through."
After everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that Song Jiang’s statement was much more reliable.
Not to mention who stayed here to cushion, even if a thousand people jumped into the water, most of them would be killed by the Black Feather Guards waiting on the river. It is hard to say who can go out alive.
And here we are entrusted and waiting for rescue from their respective villages, the chances are much greater.
Although it is difficult for three days, it is not short of water when it rains. The dry food you carry with you is enough for a few days.
After a while, everyone discussed it and felt that they were guarding here and rushing to reinforcements.
At this moment, the sky suddenly remembered the eagle cry and flew over the roof in a low altitude.
Song Jiang thought it was a rain of arrows shooting again, so he was about to get up and hide behind the seat to hide.
But soon, a 'bang' sound came from the roof, as if something fell from the sky and hit the roof.
Everyone was puzzled, and before they could even let their subordinates go up to the roof to see what happened, there was a loud noise.
The roof of the entire River God Temple exploded directly, and the sky of fire rose into the sky.
Many bandits were guarding against the Black Feather Guards outside, but they didn't expect that the River God Temple behind them would explode directly.
I have never experienced such a thing, I just turned around and was stunned on the spot.
The next moment, a fire snake rushed out from the surrounding area, and the Black Feather Guard used an elm cannon to rush the direction of the River God Temple.
Although it is not very powerful and has almost no accurate head, it cannot resist the terrifying momentum. Many bandits have never seen this scene. They are so scared that they are hard to maintain their formation. They flee back and forth and don’t know where to hide.
