The tragic experience of Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo: Unbeaten against the four generals, but died under a hidden weapon

Z0z double whip and call Yanzhuo, is the eighth-ranked Liangshan hero, fourth-ranked in the five generals of the horse army, with high martial arts. In "Dang Kou Zhi", he led his troops to fight against the officers and the army, twice against the army coach Yun Tianbiao, and had fierce confrontations with eight officers and soldiers. In the second round of the battle, he was not afraid of the officers and the army, and led his troops to take the initiative to break the offensive of the officers and the army. With his own strength, he responded to the four-member army's wheel warfare, and finally died with hidden weapons.

According to the description in the book, in order to fight against the imperial court, Liangshan recruited party feathers, expanded his army and garrisoned, successively captured many strategically significant Pingdi prefectures and counties, and dispatched generals to garrison, as the frontier of the army, with double whips. He is one of the generals who led six chiefs and 90,000 troops, stationed in Jiaxiang County and also in charge of Nanwang Camp. His official debut was in the eighth episode of the book. When Cai Jing commanded the army to conquer Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo and the army coach Yun Tianbiao faced off for the first time. At that time, Yun Tianbiao led Xin Congzhong, Deng Zongbi, Tao Zhenting, Zhang Yinglei and eighty thousand soldiers to besiege Jiaxiang County, while Hu Yanzhuo led his deputy Han Tao and Peng Qi ascended the city to prepare for battle and actively defend. However, due to the small trenches in Jiaxiang County and limited military strength, Hu Yanzhuo was unfavorable in the battle, and the war was extremely difficult.

When the two sides fought hard in the county town, the Nanwang battalion fiercely commanded Yang Tengjiao in tandem with the soldiers of the town to mutiny, beheading the guards Wang Dingliu and Yu Baosi, and wiped out Liangshan soldiers and horses, and then surrendered to the officers and soldiers, which made the situation in Jiaxiang County even better. It's worse. However, the official army broke the city immediately, but suddenly retreated across the board. Hu Yanzhuo didn't know why, thinking that the officials and the army were deceiving, he still went on defense and did not dare to slack off until Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo led their troops into the city. It turned out that during the bitter battle between Hu Yanzhuo and the army, the army master Wu used a design to capture Cai Jing's daughter and son-in-law, and with this threat, he asked Cai Jing to order the army to retreat. However, thinking of the soldiers killed and wounded in this battle, Hu Yanzhuo was still very angry. Despite the lieutenant's dissuasion, he insisted on leading the soldiers and horses in the city to chase down the officers and soldiers, and avenge the dead and wounded soldiers.

Hu Yanzhuo's move just hit Yun Tianbiao's trap. When Hu Yanzhuo fought with Yun Tianbiao, Xin Congzhong, and Deng Zongbi outside the city, Yang Tengjiao took the opportunity to conquer the city. Seeing that Jiaxiang had been lost, Hu Yanzhuo had no intention of fighting, and had to flee with the ruined tribe. Unexpectedly, after running more than ten miles, Tao Zhenting, Zhang Yinglei, and Yang Tengjiao were chased and intercepted. After a fierce battle, Hu Yanzhuo finally broke out of the siege, but Lieutenant Han Tao was captured, and his mount was also killed by Tao Zhenting's golden musket while fleeing. Soon after the war, Hu Yanzhuo once again proposed to Song Jiang to lead his troops to station in Jiaxiang County and Nanwang Camp in order to show their shame.

After Hu Yanzhuo entered Jiaxiang, in order to avenge the betrayal of the people that day, he ordered the soldiers to bloodbath the county town and Nanwang camp, regardless of men, women and children, with piles of corpses and no dogs or dogs left. At this point, it was the first to slaughter the people after Liangshan broke the city. Afterwards, he learned from the experience of his first defeat, repaired the city walls, dug deep trenches, and made Jiaxiang City extremely strong. Hu Yanzhuo looked at the Jincheng Tangchi-like defense with surprises, and thought to himself: "These officers and soldiers are helpless, what am I doing!" However, things were counterproductive. When Yun Tianbiao led a second attack on Jiaxiang, under the tactics of his daughter-in-law Liu Huiniang, it was easy to do so. Conquered Jiaxiang again. In this battle, Hu Yanzhuo fought against the generals such as Fenghui, Pang Yi, and Haransheng for more than 40 rounds, and finally only escaped by riding alone.

Later, the official army attacked Liangshan, and Hu Yanzhuo showed great power. In the second pass, he fought the ultimate battle with the four generals. At that time, Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzhong, Tao Zhenting, and Zhang Yinglei led their troops to attack the second pass, and Hu Yanzhuo led the soldiers to resist. Persevering, the offensive of the official army was sharp, with endless guns and arrows. Hu Yanzhuo saw Guan Shang Louyuan fall down, and couldn't help furious. He decided to lead his troops to take the initiative and fight to the death with the army.

All the soldiers under the leadership of Hu Yanzhuo shouted loudly and fought bravely. They slammed out of the pass, and the direct killing turned the sky and the sea over. The officer was caught off guard, and it took more than three hundred steps to stabilize his position. Afterwards, Hu Yanzhuo waved a double whip and faced the four generals of the official army in Guan. He fought Deng Zongbi, Tao Zhenting, Zhang Yinglei, and Xin Congzhong for sixty or seventy rounds. From noon until the sky was dark, he went straight to the dark and screaming. It was still difficult to see the winners and losers. In the end, Hu Yanzhuo was hit and killed by Xin Congzhong with a hidden weapon.
