Dengzhou governs Penglai, Huangxian, Mouping and Wendeng counties.
However, it was said that Sun Li received Shi Jin's order, took his newly expanded 5,000 troops and the 5,000 troops of deputy general Zhu Tong, and marched toward Dengzhou with great momentum.
The speed at which this army advances is called fast.
Moreover, the army led by Sun Li arrived near Dengzhou without encountering any decent resistance.
Among them, the generals who defended the cities in Huangxian and other cities they passed along the way even opened their cities and surrendered.
Sun Li was so happy, he felt in his heart.
At the current speed, we can reach Penglai tomorrow.
As long as Penglai is taken down by then, Laizhou will be taken.
At this moment, Zhu Gui's spies sent the latest information.
Sun Li read the intelligence from the spies and ordered his troops to camp thirty miles away from Penglai and prepare the soldiers to attack the city tomorrow.
In the sea breeze, the lanterns floating on the camp were fluttering in the wind.
Sun Li, deputy general Zhu Tong, and generals Sun Xin, Zou Run and others stood on the arrow tower of the camp and looked towards Penglai.
Sun Li turned to his deputy Zhu Tong and said, "General Zhu, what do you think about the attack on Penglai tomorrow?"
Although he is the commander-in-chief this time, Zhu Dian's official position is at the same level as himself.
Moreover, Zhu Tong had a good relationship with the leaders of Liangshan.
Sun Li did not want to offend this person, so he asked Zhu Tong in a show of kindness.
When Zhu Tong heard this, he quickly handed over to Sun Li and said: "General Sun, you are familiar with Dengzhou.
In tomorrow's battle, I will listen to the general's orders."
If Zhu Tong is unwilling to cooperate or has plans to compete for credit, it will be difficult for Sun Li to handle it.
Sun Li was very happy to see Zhu Tong being so understanding.
He smiled slightly and said to Zhu Tong: "General Zhu, look at where our army went along the way.
All the cities were opened and surrendered, which shows the prestige of our army.
If Dengzhou Zhizhou knows the situation and surrenders, I will not embarrass him.
But if he resists stubbornly, then let my troops attack the west gate and you attack the south gate to see who can attack first and take the lead."
Zhu Tong nodded and said: "General Sun's arrangements are of course appropriate.
However, General Sun heard that the commander of Dengzhou Zhizhou Wang's army is cunning and cunning, and he is afraid that he will cheat tomorrow.
General Sun better be careful."
Sun Li laughed and said: "Don't worry, General Zhu.
When I was in charge of military affairs in Dengzhou, I knew that that guy was not a good person.
But no matter how cunning and cunning he is, he needs elite soldiers to carry out the plan.
But now in our situation In front of the Liangshan Army, those Song soldiers are just shrimps and crab generals, and I have a plan to guard against him."
Sun Xin also interjected and shouted: "My brother Sun Li was the most outstanding military commander in Dengzhou.
Several times the grass bandits came to the city, and it was my brother who killed them and saved the whole city.
But when Master Wang saw that we were foreigners, he refused to reward us for our merits and suppressed us everywhere.
If he doesn't recognize us tomorrow and catches him, he will be stabbed ten times and eight times to avenge him."
After Sun Xin said this, he looked at Penglai City with a trace of hatred.
Hearing Sun Xin's hatred, Sun Li shook his head and said: "The marshal treats these civil servants favorably.
If he surrenders, you must not be rash, lest you ruin the marshal's reputation.
And this time we return to Dengzhou, it can be said that we are returning home in glory.
I am afraid that our old colleagues We are all afraid, who dares to be disrespectful to us?"
When Sun Xin heard what his elder brother said, he thought that after he captured Penglai City, his former colleagues and old friends would become jealous when they saw him.
Thinking of this, Sun Xin couldn't help but feel proud.
When I enter the city tomorrow, I will definitely ride a horse and pass through the main gate in front of the people in the city with the support of the people, making a great show.
The next morning, Penglai City, located on the coast of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, was filled with sea fog.
Looking from a distance, it looked like a misty fairyland.

However, this "wonderland" is now filled with the spirit of war and killing.
After the Liangshan Army soldiers had a good meal, they slowly approached Penglai City under the leadership of Sun Li.
The Liangshan Army soldiers with high morale were outside the city.
Sun Xin took the lead and called for formation to attack the enemy.
Sun Xin's cry didn't last long, but suddenly there were a few clicks, the closed city gate opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered.
A man wearing Dutou clothes, holding the talisman of Zhizhou and the household register of Denzhou in his hand, came to Sun Xin shaking his head.
Sun Xin knew the man in front of him and heard that he had been promoted to Dengzhou Military and Horse Superintendent Wang Wen.
Although they knew each other, Sun Xin still shouted: "Who is this person?"
Wang Wen said tremblingly: "Sir, the younger one is Wang Wen.
Back then, we went to the Miaoxian Tower to drink flower wine with you."
When Sun Xin heard Wang Wen shouting on the spot about going to a brothel with him, Sun Xin almost fell off his horse.
He hurriedly sat down and shouted with a straight face: "What are you doing here?"
Wang Wen saw that Sun Xin seemed unhappy and said hurriedly: "Sir, when I heard that General Sun was leading the army, the king of Zhizhou said that as long as he treats Dengzhou officials well and the people well, Penglai is willing to surrender the city.
I hope the general will show mercy." " After speaking, Wang Wen knelt down on one knee and presented the talisman and household register with both hands.
Sun Xin didn't dare to make the decision on this matter, so he hurriedly ran back to Sun Li to ask for instructions.
Sun Li stepped forward, looked at Wang Wen coldly, and suddenly shouted: "You are sincerely surrendering, you are not trying to trick us into entering the city, and then try to catch a turtle in a jar."
Wang Wen trembled and said in a low voice: "General, how dare you have such an idea?
If you deceive the general and offend Marshal Shi, the people of Penglai will not suffer in the future."
Sun Xin quickly said to Sun Li: "Brother, this Wang Wen has always been greedy for life and afraid of death.
I'm sorry he doesn't dare to deceive us."
Sun Li nodded and said, "Get up and talk."
When Wang Wen heard this, he stood up, but still lowered his head respectfully.
Sun Li seemed to ask casually: "General Wang, let me ask you.
How many defenders are there in Penglai City now?"
Wang Wen hurriedly said: "Back to the general, there are only 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in Penglai City, and more than 3,000 naval forces."
When Sun Li heard this, he made a mental calculation.
He nodded, turned to Zhu Tong and said: "General Zhu, because of the unexpected situation, you lead your troops and stay outside the city for the time being.
Once our troops have taken over all four cities, you can enter the city again."
Zhu Tong also knew that this was a sound policy and naturally agreed.
Immediately shouted: "I have the order" At that moment, Sun Li ordered his own five thousand soldiers and horses, and asked Sun Xin to take the lead in entering the city.
Seeing that Sun Li agreed, Wang Wenwen said charmingly: "General Sun, I will lead the way for you.
Please take care of me, General Sun, in the future."
Sun Li led the Liangshan army and slowly moved towards the city.
Sun Xin walked at the front of the team.
Wang Wen helped Sun Xin hold the horse, nodding and bowing from time to time to introduce some of the latest things in Penglai City to Sun Xin.
The key point is who is the most popular star in Miaoxian Tower now, what new gadgets are there, etc.
Although Sun Xin still had a straight face, his expression gradually relaxed.
Although the Liangshan Army was strong and majestic, its military discipline was strict.
How could Sun Xin dare to violate military regulations and approach women?
After staying in the military camp for two consecutive months, I was already exhausted.
After capturing Penglai City, you must indulge yourself.
At this time, the city gate of Penglai was wide open, and several soldiers guarding the city stood respectfully on both sides of the road.
After entering the city, Sun Li waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, preparing to take over the defense of the city gate.
The large army continued to surround Sun Li and slowly walked into the city gate.
At this time, Wang Wen said respectfully to Sun Xin: "All the officials in this city, big and small, are still waiting in the government office for news of the villain.

The villain had previously gone to inform them and asked them to welcome the general's arrival."
Sun Xin was thinking about how many battles he would have to fight tonight, so he nodded without thinking too much.
Wang Wen immediately ran forward quickly, just as he was far away from Liang Shanjun.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs.
The Song soldiers guarding the city gate drew their swords and attacked Sun Li's army.
When Sun Li saw this situation, he immediately knew something was wrong.
He got lucky in Dantian and shouted loudly: "Sun Xin, return to the formation and hold on.
As long as you guard the city gate, these young people will have nothing to do with our army."
But at the same time Sun Li's angry shouts sounded.
"bump" The thousand-jin gate of the city gate immediately fell down, blocking the city gate tightly and dividing Liangshan's army into two.
On the city wall, countless Song soldiers ran out from the Tibetan Soldier Cave and attacked the Liangshan Army who was preparing to take over the city.
A large number of Song soldiers appeared on the houses on both sides of the main street.
They held strong bows and faced Sun Li's troops on the road below.
Under the protection of a group of people, Dengzhou Zhizhou Wang Shizhong came out and shouted: "Sun Li, you are a thief, you have fallen into my trap, how long will it take if you don't surrender now?"
Seeing Wang Shizhong, Sun Li had a majestic face and roared: "Guan Guan, you think you are smart.
But I didn't expect that our army would have inquired about your plot a long time ago.
I must have been on guard against this move of yours."
Following Sun Li's roar, Dengzhou Zhizhou Wangshizhong suddenly heard the noise coming from behind.
Just when he was about to send someone to ask what happened, a soldier ran over in a panic and shouted: "A group of people suddenly came out of the city."
A group of rebels are coming towards us.
General Yang asks you to send some soldiers for support."
Before Wang Shizhong could react, another soldier hurried over and shouted: "My lord, something is not right.
Someone is attacking Daoyu Water Village.
Inspection Li asks your lord to send troops to support quickly."
In order to defend against the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty built a saury village at the foot of Danya Mountain in the north of Penglai City and on the seaside.
It set up saury patrols and docked more than a hundred saury warships.
There were more than 3,000 troops stationed there.
It was the most important navy base in the north. , is also the south gate of Penglai.
Once the sword fish village is lost, Penglai City will also face threats from the sea.
Wang Shizhong, the magistrate of Dengzhou, was shocked when he heard this.
At this time, there were no trees blocking the sea outside Swordfish Water Village.
The Liangshan Navy's ten ships were so large that the Song soldiers in the water village could clearly see them from a long distance away.
For this strategic adjustment, Shi Jin must return to Jeju and always pay attention to the trends of the court and Jiangnan.
Therefore, Sun Li could only be appointed to attack Dengzhou.
However, Dengzhou is a very important matter and must be won smoothly.
Before the expedition, Shi Jin gave Sun Li the authority to mobilize Liangshan's navy.
When Sun Li approached Penglai, he first sent someone to notify Zhang Shun and others in Liu Dao and sent the navy to help.
Since the establishment of the Dengzhou Water Village, in addition to fighting against the Liao navy at the beginning, it now mainly focuses on capturing pirates and the most important smuggling ships.
For decades, no one has dared to attack him.
The Song soldiers in this water village are very lax.
Hearing the alarm sound of the gong, Song Bing was confused for a while before finally taking the initiative to fight back under the order of Inspector Li.
As swordfish battleships were dispatched one by one, the bay was filled with warships for a while.
Although we only have ten sea-going ships, the enemy has hundreds of swordfish warships, which is ten times as many as our own.
But Zhang Shun is not afraid at all Inspector Li saw that there were only ten enemy ships, and he was confident at the moment.
He immediately attacked with the navy and surrounded Zhang Shun's ships separately.

The hull of this swordfish battle boat is slim and streamlined, and its speed is very fast.
Inspection Li personally stood on the bow of the ship with a knife, looking very majestic.
Zhang Shun stood on the pole of the boat.
When he saw the Song Navy navy swarming on him, preparing to surround him, he felt funny.
Zhang Shun immediately ordered his fleet to rush over diagonally.
Driven by the sea breeze, the two fleets quickly approached.
Just when Inspector Li was about to start a ship-to-ship battle, he suddenly saw nearly fifty black iron balls streaking across the sky, heading towards him.
The navy fleet flew in.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Inspector Li looked at the iron ball in the sky, somewhat confused about the situation.
This iron ball hitting people on the head is a certain threat, but how effective is it?
Could it be that these thieves still expect to defeat us just by relying on these iron balls?
Too arrogant Just when Inspector Li was confused, a loud "boom" sounded.
The iron balls exploded directly in the sky.
Although most of them landed on the uninhabited sea, nearly eleven of them still exploded on the head of the saury fish.
Countless Song Army sailors were blown away by the flying shrapnel.
Dead, injured.
One or two even exploded near the waterline of the ship, directly blowing a big hole and causing seawater to pour in.
The ship sank to the bottom of the sea soon after.
Although the bombs that fell into the sea did not injure anyone, the air and water waves they raised also overturned several small boats.
Zhang Shun stood on the tall ship's pole.
Seeing that the bombardment was ineffective, he immediately shouted loudly: "You guys, you guys, aim and shoot these for me.
These are treasures.
We finally got one."
If you dare to waste a thousand shells, I will kill you alive."
"It's the general."
Tong Wei and Tong Meng on other ships also scolded their men.
However, no matter how much Zhang Shun and Tong Wei scolded them, without the aiming assist system and relying solely on the human eye to judge, it is impossible to have a high hit rate when launching a catapult on a sea that is constantly fluctuating.
Even if the navy of the Song Army swarmed up and formed a dense formation.
But after this round of thunderbolt shells, most of them still fell on the sea.
Although the hit rate was not high, under these successive explosions, the Song Navy was in chaos.
In water combat, that idiot soldier who dares to wear iron armor will die if he falls into the water.
The better thing about these sailors is that they are wearing rattan armor.
Most sailors are civilians.
As soon as the thunderbolt bomb exploded on the bow of the ship, the iron pieces and iron beads flew everywhere.
The soldiers on the ship had to have their heads exploded, or their bodies were filled with fragments, and they convulsed and died of excessive blood loss.
These sailors have been comfortable for too long.
They have never seen such a horrific scene.
Many Song soldiers saw the miserable appearance of their companions and held on to the side of the ship and kept vomiting.
For a time, the Song Navy was in chaos:
