108 like-minded brothers with different strengths met in the chaotic world, gathered in Liangshan to hoe the strong and help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor, and finally became brothers in Juyitang, and as the call became stronger, liangshan's power also grew stronger. After being recruited by the imperial court, the imperial court ordered shui po Liangshan to march south against the thief Fang La. It was this battle that exposed the true strength of Liangshan, and Fang La had only 8 generals at that time.
But let Liangshan lose 70 good men? Why?
People's hearts are scattered, and it is difficult to have peak strength
At that time, many heroes and good men gathered in Liangshan for different reasons, such as the leopard head Lin Chong, the reason why he went to Liangshan was to be killed by traitors, in order not to live under the persecution of the imperial court, and at the same time yearn for the atmosphere of Liangshan that was heroic and righteous. Another example is the Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, who was originally a martial arts master in the world and lived a rather comfortable life, but he was unexpectedly forced to Liangshan by Wu Yong, Song Jiang and others. For example, many of the other good men were cornered or escaped from the government to hunt down and kill Liangshan.
The harm caused by these reasons immediately emerged after Song Jiang accepted the imperial court's invitation.
Song Jiang violated the original intention of establishing Liangshan because the imperial court fainted and wanted to replace the Heavenly Path.
Lin Chong, Lu Junyi and others were hindered by brotherly feelings and were inconvenient to resist Zhao'an, but they already had a grudge, and the flower monk Lu Zhishen opposed Song Jiang's zhao'an measures, which further stimulated the hostility of a group of good people in Liangshan to Zhao'an.
At this time, the good man of Liangshan, who was already unwilling to accept the recruitment, had quietly fallen apart.
With such a gloomy emotion, how could he have the enthusiasm and peak combat strength of the original battle when he was fighting?
The combat strength is uneven, and the enemy's combat strength is unknown
Liangshan 108 generals have different combat strength, there are indeed generals Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and others, but more people are grass thieves, Shankou born such as smiling tiger Wang Ying, drum flea time shift, etc. This makes Liangshan's combat strength uneven. Most of the good men of Liangshan are only stronger than ordinary people, and when they really go to the battlefield to confront the army, they immediately look no different from ordinary people.
And as the most critical thing in the battlefield is to line up troops, but unfortunately, Gongsun Sheng, the person who knows this method the most in Liangshan, was disappointed and left the world after Song Jiang proposed to recruit an.
This greatly weakened Liangshan's combat strength.
Secondly, the very important healer An Daoquan was left in the imperial court by Emperor Huizong of Song, and the inability to treat the good men made it impossible for the good men to continue fighting or even die.
This in turn weakened Liangshan's combat strength in a certain sense.
Although the enemy had only eight generals except Fang La himself, these eight were all top-notch combat strength.
For example, Shi Bao, who was born in Fuzhou, was able to fight with Guan Sheng in the first battle with Guan Sheng, and Guan Sheng also had a high evaluation of Shi Bao's sword technique after the war.
Being able to get such an evaluation from the arrogant martial saint shows Shi Bao's combat strength.
Another example is the sharpshooter Pang Wanchun,
As we all know, long-range weapons are a major killing weapon in the battlefield, and Pang Wanchun, as a good archery in Jiangnan, is even more amazing in the use of long-range weapons.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he shot an arrow at Shi Jin, one of the eight horsemen of Liangshan, and then shot several good men of Liangshan.
The remaining six people fighting alone are no less than Liangshan generals, and each person's infantry skills are completely crushed, and liangshan good men who have not received professional training are completely crushed.
The embodiment of combat effectiveness is naturally not only in the generals, according to records at that time, Fang La had already raised the hearts of the people and won the support of the people of Jiangnan.
Its military strength has long been beyond imagination, coupled with the fact that the Fang La rebellion is very different from the Liangshan Falling Grass, Fang La's individual combat effectiveness is already comparable to that of the Song Dynasty officials, and liangshan's military strength is only a ragtag crowd compared to it.
The defeat in the great battlefield led to the death of more than 70 good men in Liangshan on the spot.
The battlefield was uncomfortable, and it was deeply calculated by the imperial court
Liangshan is located in the northern region, the climate is relatively arid, most of the people in Liangshan are northerners, grew up in the northern land since childhood, suddenly turned to the southern battlefield to fight, it is difficult to adapt to the humid climate in jiangnan, which makes many people before the war to the water and soil to lead to a decline in combat strength and even died before the battle.
Most of the generals in liangshan's good han were depressed or persecuted by the traitorous ministers and left the imperial court to fall into the grass, and Gao Li, a traitorous minister, had always hated the good han of Liangshan to the bone and wanted to kill them all.
Seeing that Liangshan's power was growing stronger and stronger, he was restless, so he joined forces with Cai Jing to slander in the emperor's ear, and the crowd even applied to suppress Liangshan
。
Therefore, the attitude of the imperial court towards Liangshan has always been not to use it, and even wants to eliminate this force.
Therefore, he used this battle to consume the strength of both sides, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman, summoning the divine doctor An Daoquan to stay in the dynasty, which was one of the Yang plots used to reduce Liangshan's combat strength, and then secretly manipulated horses, grain and grass, and troops.
It also made the good men of Liangshan who were fighting outside have no reserve resources and no follow-up reinforcements.
epilogue
Liangshan lost 70 generals to quell the anti-thief Fang La for three reasons.
First, the generals had a bad heart, which led to the people's discouragement; the second was the unevenness of Liangshan's own combat strength and the unknown combat strength of the other side; the third was that it did not occupy a favorable position and did not have rear support;
It can be seen from this that war is a major event that needs to be comprehensively considered, and the lack of any point is fatal, but it is a pity that the good men who were arrogant in the past can be defeated because of such a basic strategy!
