Two days away from Mengzhou, four people, Yun Tianbiao, Yunlong, Tao Zhenting, and Wenda, led dozens of generals and an army of 100,000 people and were heading towards Mengzhou.
At this time, they had already received reports from spies and knew that Lin Chong was leading the Liangshan army to surround Mengzhou.
Without urgent help, Mengzhou would be in danger sooner or later.
"General Yun, Lin Chong led a total of 50,000 troops to fight against the Liao.
Although he was lucky enough to repulse the two Liao armies, he must have suffered heavy losses.
At least 10,000 were enough.
And he successively occupied Gaotang Prefecture and Cangzhou.
Both of these places are critical places and must be guarded by large troops.
I think at least 10,000 troops should be left at each place.
Calculated in this way, Lin Chong’s total troops to attack Mengzhou this time will not exceed 20,000, and we have an army of 100,000, 100,000 against 20,000, this is a victory.”
As the army moved forward, Wen Da spoke out to coach Yun Tianbiao.
This Wenda was the original military supervisor of the Daming Prefecture, known as Dadao Wenda.
When Lin Chong defeated Daming Mansion, Liang Zhongshu, Li Cheng, Suo Chao, Yang Zhi and others were all captured.
Only Wen Da managed to escape.
After Wenda escaped, he traveled day and night to Tokyo and went directly to Cai Jing's home to plead guilty.
Liang Zhongshu was Cai Jing's son-in-law, and Wen Da and Li Cheng were sent by Cai Jing to protect Liang Zhongshu.
It is precisely because of this, and because Cai Jing knows Liang Shan's strength, that he does not make it difficult for Wen Da, and now he is using him again.
"General Wen's words are reasonable, but we still can't take it lightly.
Lin Chong and his group of bandits are still very strong.
Otherwise, the imperial court would not have sent out several large armies to attack them.
They were still not completely wiped out, but instead allowed them to make more troubles."
Yun Tianbiao is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very resourceful.
He can be said to be a true handsome man.
"General Wen, you have fought against Lin Chong's group, what do you think of them?"
Tao Zhenting asked aloud.
This Tao Zhenting is a pragmatic person.
He is very good at martial arts.
He even received a gold-plated musket as a gift from a Westerner.
He has become proficient in it and is extremely powerful.
"Although Lin Chong and his gang are bandits, we have to admit that they are indeed different from other bandits.
There are many people under Lin Chong who are highly skilled in martial arts, and many of them were former generals of the imperial court who were later defeated and surrendered.
Moreover, Liangshan soldiers have strict military discipline.
They advance when they hear drums and retreat when they hear gold.
They follow orders and prohibitions, which is indeed extraordinary.
What impressed Wen the most was the morale of Liangshan soldiers.
It was really strong.
I don’t know how Lin Chong motivated them.
In short, the soldiers under him seemed not to be afraid.
As long as Lin Chong gave an order, even if There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, and I will rush over without hesitation.
It’s really terrifying.”
Wen Da thought of the several fights he had with Lin Chong in Daming Mansion, and still felt fearful.
After Tao Zhenting and others heard this, they all looked at Wen Da in shock and thought, "If the Liangshan soldiers are really like this, then even if they only have 20,000 people, it will not be easy to defeat them."
Yun Tianbiao and his men finally entered the border of Mengzhou with their army.
Yun Tianbiao first sent a large number of spies to inquire about the situation in Liangshan, and then sent spies to check whether there were any ambushes in Liangshan around.
The closer the two armies are, the more cautious they must be.

When the spies came back one after another to report safety, Yun Tianbiao ordered people to set up camp, choosing a location about thirty miles away from the Liangshan camp.
The two city gates of Mengzhou have long been surrounded by Liangshan.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Yun Tianbiao to lead troops into the city.
In the main tent of the army, Yun Tianbiao and several other important generals were discussing matters.
"According to the news just returned from the spies, it seems that there are not only 20,000 soldiers in Liangshan.
I heard that the camp they built is very large, and it seems that it can accommodate 70,000 to 80,000 people."
When Yun Tianbiao thought of the news returned by the spies just now, he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"How come there are so many large camps that can accommodate 70,000 to 80,000 people?
Could it be that reinforcements from Liangshan have arrived?"
Wen Da was surprised when he heard Yun Tianbiao's words.
He had expected a turnaround this time.
If Liangshan's troops suddenly increased to 70,000 or 80,000, it would not be easy to win.
Yun Tianbiao also thought of the possibility of Liangshan reinforcements arriving, and said, "The specific situation is still unknown.
The Liangshan bandits were very alert, and our spies spent a lot of effort to observe them from a distance.
If you get any closer, you will be exposed.
Therefore, it is not possible to tell whether these camps are full of people or are used as a bluff, so we can only find out slowly.
Moreover, we have just received another news that the Yangshan bandits in Jeju are attacking Texas at this time, so the situation is very clear.
This Lin Chong wants to connect Jeju, Dezhou, Mengzhou, Cangzhou and Gaotangzhou into one, grow the power of a snake, and then slowly develop and accumulate strength in order to explode again."
Yun Tianbiao was indeed outstanding.
From this simple piece of information, he could analyze Lin Chong's thoughts to a close.
It was really not easy.
"This Liangshan bandit is really abominable.
I will definitely kill several of his people in the future battle to relieve my hatred."
Yunlong was a young hero.
He learned all his skills from his father and grew up in a government official's family.
Therefore, he looked down upon Lin Chong and others.
"Don't talk nonsense.
There are many capable people in the world.
Don't think too highly of yourself, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
Yun Tianbiao loudly lectured his son that young people are the most impulsive.
Although Yunlong was very arrogant, he was very afraid of his father.
Yun Tianbiao was a strict father, and he had been very strict with Yun Long since he was a child.
Of course, he was also beaten with a stick, and the ancient saying of filial son came out under the stick.
While several people were discussing in the big tent, suddenly a soldier ran in.
"Report, report to the commander, the Liangshan bandits are asking for war outside the camp" It turned out that Lin Chong had already known about the arrival of the army, but there was no ambush.
It was just because Lin Chong finally reacted when he heard about Yun Tianbiao and Tao Zhenting.
Yun Tianbiao, Tao Zhenting, and the previous Xin Congzhong and Deng Zongbi are all figures in the "Dang Kou Zhi".
No wonder Lin Chong felt that the names of Xin Congzhong and Deng Zongbi were very familiar when he heard them, but he didn't think of them at the time.
Lin Chong rode Teng Shuangbai and led a group of brothers to wait quietly outside the army gate.
"This world is completely different from the original work.
I don't know if Yun Tianbiao and others are historical figures.
If they really existed, it would be fine.
Otherwise, it would be really messed up."
Lin Chong thought quietly there, feeling a little confused.
Not long after, Yun Tianbiao led the army out of the camp.

"What kind of face do you have to come here to challenge the traitorous bandit?"
Yun Tianbiao didn't say too many big words, he just said lightly that Lin Chong had betrayed his trust.
"Hahahaha, I, Lin Chong, don't understand what the breach of trust the general is referring to.
The agreement I made with Taiwei Chen was that as long as I, Liangshan, defeat the Liao army, the covenant will be automatically terminated.
If you don't believe me, general, you can ask Taiwei Chen."
Lin Chong didn't want to explain too much, but just told the situation of the discussion with Chen Zongshan.
"Hmph, you conspired with Zhang Shuye and Chen Zongshan.
Now the Holy One is furious and has put these two people in jail.
They will be punished only after being investigated by the Ministry of Punishment."
Yun Tianbiao accidentally revealed the arrest of Chen Zongshan and Zhang Shuye.
"Oh, Taiwei Chen and Zhang Shuye have been arrested.
It seems that the imperial court is really at its end.
These two people are rare loyal ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Now they have been imprisoned for questioning.
Only Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers are left in the court.
No.
It would be strange to perish” After hearing what Yun Tianbiao said, Lin Chong thought of many things in his heart for a moment.
"It seems that after everything is over, we should send someone to Tokyo to try to rescue these two people."
Lin Chong had coveted these two people for a long time and could not just watch them being killed.
"If they can be rescued, they should be able to surrender to him," Lin Chong thought secretly.
"It's useless to talk more.
Let's see the truth on the battlefield."
Lin Chong didn't want to continue talking and directly challenged Yun Tianbiao.
"The thieves are rampant, watch my general Ding Wei kill you" After Lin Chong finished speaking, a general flew out from behind Yun Tianbiao.
This Ding Wei is one of Yun Tianbiao's subordinate generals.
His martial arts skills are not outstanding, but they are reasonable.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities.
Anyone dares to call himself a general.
Shan Shiqi, kill this beast for me."
Lin Chong snorted coldly, and then sent Shan Shiqi to meet the enemy.
"Little brother, take the order!"
Shan Shiqi was overjoyed when he heard Lin Chong's assignment.
He hurriedly agreed and went to kill the man named Ding Wei.
Shan Shiqi is a fierce man who can fight Lin Chong for fifty rounds without losing.
His martial arts is outstanding and he can make a forty-pound iron bar unstoppable.
The two horses crossed each other, and the spears and sticks met each other.
Before leaving Sanhe Mountain, Shiqi knew that Ding Wei was no match for him.
He immediately became fierce and attacked his vital points, determined to achieve his first victory.
Compared with Shan Shiqi's high spirits, Ding Wei, who claimed to be a general, was miserable.
He had killed him on impulse just now.
He had thought about how capable a group of grass bandits could be, but now he realized that he was wrong after the fight.
This mountain warrior's strange stick has great weight and tricky moves, making it difficult for Ding Wei to parry every move.
Sure enough, within ten moves, Shan Shiqi suddenly used three moves in a row to hit the mountain, each time with greater strength than the last.
When the last move came down, Na Dingwei could no longer resist it.
He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell off his horse.

Shan Shiqi didn't hesitate when he saw this.
He rode back on his horse and struck him with a stick, killing him.
Everyone who despised the heroes of Liangshan paid a heavy price for their contempt.
Shan Shiqi killed Ding Wei and rode back to the battle.
Lin Chong praised him with a smile on his face, making Shan Shiqi as excited as a child.
Lin Chong raised his head and said disdainfully to Yun Tianbiao, "This one is too weak, let's find a powerful one."
Yun Tianbiao did not expect that one of his relatively strong generals would die tragically without even taking ten moves from General Liangshan.
This battle also gave Yun Tianbiao a clearer understanding of Liangshan's strength.
As Wen Da said, there are as many masters as there are.
When Yun Tianbiao heard what Lin Chong said, he frowned and said, "General Wen, you will go meet the Liangshan bandits for a while":
