The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

Chapter 85: Zengtou City's Black Gloves

Zengtou City is located in an area surrounded by wild water and is surrounded on three sides by towering hills, forming a natural fortification.

The river in the village meanders like a winding snake, with many willow trees planted on the side, adding a touch of vitality to the village.

Looking down from a high place, the village and the trees are in exceptional harmony. It is not difficult to see that in summer, the houses and people would be difficult to detect, making them even more hidden and inaccessible.

Zeng Nong chose to settle here because he valued the defense here. Even though the transportation here is not ideal, the Song Dynasty is short of horses, so it has no impact on his business.

But now Zengtou City has invited all the guests to leave, and support from Lingzhou government has also arrived, with two militia commanders - General Wei Dingguo of Divine Fire and his good friend General Shan Yangui of Holy Water, with 500 crimson-clad fire soldiers and 500 black-armored water soldiers under their command respectively.

After Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu sent Hong Qi away, they returned to arrange the defense. The two militia commanders were guest troops and knew Shi Wengong's abilities, so they asked him to make the arrangements.

There are three hills in the east, west and south, with three strongholds, which are convenient for defense. There is a mountain in the east stronghold, and Shi Wengong sent Zeng Mi and Zeng Nong to defend it. Zeng Suo and Shan Yangui defended the south. Zeng Kui and the fire god Wei Dingguo defended the west. There were 1,500 soldiers on each of the three sides.

With the remaining North Camp, Shi Wengong asked Su Ding to take the leader Zeng Tu to defend it with 3,000 people.

He and his young disciple Zeng Sheng took the few remaining soldiers and women and children to the center.

Shi Wengong fully considered everyone's strengths and terrain characteristics. With this arrangement, Shi Wengong was full of confidence and Zengtou City was ready for battle.

----

At this time, Hong Qi and the five soldiers from Zengtou City who were accompanying him also came to a dangerous place. Yu Baosi personally led about thirty people to ambush here.

This mission was not easy to complete. He had to pretend to be serious and kill people slowly. This really stumped the tallest man in the Water Margin (242 feet tall, about cm). However, he quickly came up with an idea and pretended to be back from work, exhausted and exhausted when he met them...

The five soldiers in Zengtou City were unaware of this and thought it was just a simple task.

What Yu Baosi didn't know was that Ma Jin and a hundred people were watching the big man's performance behind him. He was carrying a newly made monocular telescope, which made the Liangshan officers very happy. Although it only had a four-fold magnification, Wang Li sneered at it, but the ignorant Liangshan people were full of praise.

The scouts of Liangshan had already spotted them. They just didn't know what the purpose of this group of horse bandits who suddenly appeared was, or where their lair was. After the scouts arrived, Ma Jin personally watched them. At first, he was shocked by the height of this guy. The others were not so exaggerated, but they were also very fierce.

When Ma Jin saw Hong Qi coming and this group of people pretending to be exhausted and trying to walk in the opposite direction of Hong Qi and his group, he didn't wait any longer. No matter what they were performing, it was not a good thing anyway, so he just caught them.

Hong Qi and his group were riding slowly on horseback. He was injured and couldn't run, so he could only walk like this. When he saw a group of bandits coming from the opposite side, leading their horses, he didn't care.

When Yu Baosi was about to take action, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, "Damn, this script is wrong?"

But he was not in a panic. His horse was a good one, a carefully selected fine horse from Northeast China, which was used to facilitate his escape. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Shi Wengong long ago. As for the life and death of the minions, he didn't care at all, and Zeng Toushi didn't care either.

Yu Baosi didn't pretend anymore and was about to jump on his horse and start fighting. He had just killed two people from Zengtou City when the remaining three people from Zengtou City also recognized Yu Baosi as the guy who had massacred their village. Then they fought them desperately with red eyes.

When Hong Qi saw his own people coming from behind, he risked being injured again and rolled off the horse while holding the big man.

Ma Jin ran over and kicked Yu Baosi down, and several Liangshan scouts rushed over and tied him up. The remaining bandits were taken care of by others, but although they were surrounded, they were very fierce and injured several of their brothers. They surrendered only after seeing their leader being tied up.

Ma Jin helped Hong Qi up and said, "Senior Hong, how are you?"

"I'm fine! Send these brothers back to Zengtou City, and take these bandits back to interrogate where their lair is!" Hong Qi sounded obviously weak. Ma Jin quickly had someone bandage him and carried him to Liangshan Hotel. The Liangshan scouts bandaged the remaining wounded and cleaned up the battlefield.

At this time, a wounded soldier from Zengtou City said, "Good man, can you hand these bandits over to us in Zengtou City?"

Ma Jin looked at him impatiently and said, "Get out of here now! Don't let me change my mind! Otherwise I'll tie you up too!"

If Hong Qi hadn't instructed him to do so, he would have tied up these three living guys and would have immediately razed Zengtou City to the ground.

Another Zengtou City soldier said, "This guy is called Yu Baosi. He massacred many of our brothers' villages. Teacher Shi tried to catch him several times but failed! His horse runs fast. Look, it's a BMW!"

Ma Jin then took a closer look at this seemingly inconspicuous horse, which was dirty and had chestnut fur. It had obvious protruding bones in its shoulders, a broad and deep chest, a broad and flat back and waist, a wide and slightly sloping hip, and plump thigh and calf muscles.

"Yes, it's a rare good horse!" Ma Jin quickly fell in love with this horse. Just when he got on to ride it, he was thrown off by the horse.

Ma Jin did not get angry but laughed instead: "Haha, what a good horse!" However, he knew that now was not the time to train the horse, so he let his men lead the horse.

He walked up to a few Zengtou City soldiers and said, "Come back with us. We can't give you these bastards. You can send one person back to report the incident, and the rest of you can go back with me and explain what these bastards have done!"

The three soldiers looked at each other, nodded, and asked one of them to go back and report the news, while the other two followed Ma Jin and escorted Yu Baosi away.

Yu Baosi was not in a hurry and just followed them. He had a plan in place and he was also a Jurchen.

Before he came to the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen leaders had told him that if he was caught by bandits and could not escape, he could just surrender. He could not betray the Jurchens' intelligence, but could work hard there, find a way to gain a foothold, and continue to wait for instructions. As for being caught by the government, Zeng Nong would find a way to get him out.

(In his previous life, he was captured by Liangshan and took the initiative to ask to go back to Zengtou City as an undercover agent to cooperate with Liangshan from inside and outside. Zeng Nong just placed him in the back camp where there were all Jurchens and did not make it public. Liangshan attacked Zengtou City several times but returned in defeat. He did not cooperate with Liangshan from inside and outside. Later, they broke through the back camp.

Song Jiang was very dissatisfied with his performance. Seeing that he was tall, he made him carry the banner of justice, and his ranking was only 105, a nominal position of "Flag Bearer".

But this guy performed well later on. When he was fighting against Tian Hu, he was shot by two arrows but he still kept the flag upright.

But before the expedition to Fang La, the general's flag was suddenly blown off by the wind, which is a bit intriguing. However, this guy also died in Hangzhou, so there was no further news...)

The soldier from Zengtou City reported the news back to Zengtou City, but Zeng Nong was not panicked at all. He knew that guy would choose to surrender and come back. He also knew which way to go to avoid Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong said: "No, I will go to Liangshan and bring him back!"

Zeng Nong quickly stopped him, "Teacher, Liangshan's scouts have already appeared, and the army will arrive at any time. You can't take risks. What if they don't retreat after receiving the people?"

Shi Wengong thought about it and decided not to go, thinking that after Hong Qi went to Liangshan and explained everything, if the other party knew the general situation, they would withdraw their troops. If they still didn't withdraw their troops, he was not afraid of Liangshan...

Zeng Tu also said: "Master, Liangshan has mobilized a large army this time and will not retreat. If we defeat Liangshan, it will help the Song Dynasty government to relieve their worries. As for our people, we should try not to hurt them!"

"Well! What the disciple said makes sense!"

Shi Wengong was played around by Zeng's father and son, but it was not his fault. Zeng's father and son respected him and Su Ding very much, and gave them five times the salary. It was okay to beat and scold the apprentices. Zeng Nong even encouraged him to beat them hard.

Among all the martial arts teachers in the Song Dynasty, this kind of treatment is unique to Scorpion Shit. It is not available anywhere else. Li Zhong was a teacher in Shijiazhuang, and Luan Tingyu was a teacher in Zhujiazhuang, but neither of them received this kind of treatment.

Shi Wengong and Su Ding had both face and substance, and they taught and trained the soldiers seriously. When people from Zengtou City saw them, didn't they respectfully call them Teacher Shi?
