He then ordered the soldiers to build a new camp.
And he himself,
Then he led a group of leaders,
Inspect the terrain of Zengtou City.
The group rode their horses to the outskirts of Zengtou City.
Looking around,
Zengtou City was indeed built in a strategically important and dangerous place!
On that high hill,
The terrain on three sides is steep.
Only one side of the terrain is flat.
But that former head city
However, a stockade was built on this side.
They blocked the only possible point of attack on Zengtou City.
Zhao Yuan looked at the terrain of Zengtou City.
Suddenly, I felt a little worried.
If it is in summer
There was no snow on the road.
Zhao Yuan could easily assemble a cavalry force.
All the way,
Taking advantage of the fact that Zengtou City was unaware,
To take them by surprise directly.
We must take it down by force.
But now,
Because the roads were difficult to travel on due to the snow,
The journey was originally only seven days long.
They walked for twelve days straight.
It's been dragging on for so long...
Naturally, Zengtou City had already received the news long ago.
They withdrew from the siege of Yinmachuan.
They have all returned to Zengtou City.
Looking at the city wall,
The Zengtoushi soldiers stood densely packed together.
Zhao Yuan felt an unbearable headache.
But it's winter now.
Even if the soldiers of Liangshan were wearing cotton-padded clothes...
But if you stay outside for too long,
It's inevitable that it will get very cold...
Chapter 1433 A Victorious Start
I never expected that this time I would lead troops into battle...
I never expected to encounter so many troubles.
Zhao Yuan thought to himself, his head throbbing.
Places like Zengtou City, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack,
Even if we can take it down,
I fear that quite a few men and horses have been lost.
The soldiers Zhao Yuan brought this time,
They were all elites from Liangshan.
He certainly didn't want these soldiers to perish here in vain.
Although Zhao Yuan was troubled,
But on the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant.
After all, morale cannot be shaken.
If even he, the chieftain, is dejected...
Once seen by the soldiers below
Who knows how it will end up being spread?
"Let's go, let's take a detour around Zengtou City and see what we find."
The leaders all agreed.
Just as he was about to turn his horse and leave,
But then the gate of Zengtou City suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed out from inside.
Judging from that,
There were about seven or eight hundred men.
They were all strong and muscular men.
The leader of them,
There were also thirty or forty cavalrymen.
The leader was a man.
He was wearing a bronze helmet on his head.
He was wearing chainmail.
Holding a steel-tipped spear in his hand,
He rode straight up to them.
When they were only about a hundred paces away from Zhao Yuan and his group,
He then reined in his horse and shouted.
"Are you the rebel bandits from Liangshan Marsh?"
"Think of how you people plunder and pillage the state, harming countless people."
"We brothers have been thinking of taking you to the authorities to ask for a reward for a long time,"
"I never expected you guys to come to us like this!"
"Those who know what's good for them will dismount and surrender now."
"I won't let you suffer too much,"
"If captured on the battlefield,"
"Lost hands and feet, lost their lives,"
"Then don't blame us, the Five Tigers of the Zeng family, for being ruthless!"
It turned out that Zengtou City, upon learning that the Liangshan army was coming,
They patrolled day and night without ceasing.
Today, however, it was Zeng Kui, the fourth son of the Zeng family, who was on duty.
This fellow is on the city wall.
Seeing several Liangshan leaders,
They actually dared to come on horseback to survey the terrain of Zengtou City.
I was instantly excited.
He felt this was a golden opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
He immediately led his troops out.
To capture these Liangshan leaders in front of them,
It would be good to exchange it for a reward from the imperial court later.
If you are lucky,
They could even get a minor official position.
Looking at this Zeng family lad in front of him,
Zhao Yuan laughed in anger.
Just as he was about to speak,
Lin Chong, the Leopard Head, could no longer contain himself.
He immediately spurred his horse and charged forward.
"You scoundrel, how dare you humiliate us Liangshan!"
"I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Hey, Coach Lin beat us to it!"
Thunderbolt Qin Ming, annoyed, swung his spiked club.
"This job of taking the lead and shouting out should be mine!"
"Commander Qin, don't be hasty,"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"You'll always have your chance to make a move."
Here
Lin Chong spurred his horse straight towards Zeng's fourth son.
"I am Lin Chong, the Leopard Head,"
"No nameless ghosts are killed by gunfire."
"You dare to give your name, you scoundrel?"
"Grandpa was Zeng Kui, the fourth of the Zeng family's five tigers,"
Zeng Kui laughed arrogantly.
"I've heard of your nickname, Leopard Head!"
"I heard the imperial court has offered a reward of three thousand strings of cash for your capture!"
"Today, Grandpa will take you first,"
"Go to the government and demand your three thousand strings of cash back!"
After saying those harsh words,
Zeng Kui then spurred his horse and charged forward.
Lin Chong saw this,
