Chapter 586: Besieging Liangshan

Under the command of Song Jiang, the Liangshan army continued to shrink inward, all of them shrank on Liangshan Island, although there were many things in the 400,000 army that forced recruits to join the army for a short time, but they were not too weak in terms of combat power, and they could barely be used.

"Report to the general, all the people in Liangshan are in the center of the island in Mingjing Lake ahead. One of the scouts trotted back to report the news and shouted.

Ponce squinted at the calm and vast lake in the distance, the smoke was so misty that it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

"Liang Shan is afraid that he wants to use this lake to discourage us from attacking it. Ponce sneered, and then waved his hand fiercely, "Do you really think that I can't do anything about you!"

Behind him, a row of soldiers stepped forward, all holding a small boat in their hands, and then a large number of boats slowly sailed in the channel leading to the outside world on one side of Mingjing Lake.

These ships were all fishing boats and merchant ships that Ponce had forcibly recruited on his way here, and all of them were driven to transport them as long as they were.

"Up!"

Ponce waved his hand, and the army behind him boarded the ship one after another, and a soldier wearing chain steel armor boarded the ship, and soon occupied the positions of the major ships under Ponce's command.

The Yunlong Dynasty is an inland dynasty, and there are not many naval armies, but looking at Ponce, there is no lack of experience in commanding naval armies.

Because these ships were not specialized warships, they were somewhat bloated in terms of structure and ship protection.

Therefore, a lot of new facilities and structures were added to the upper deck of these warships, rows of wooden planks were nailed to the ground in an orderly manner, and at the same time, a layer of fishing nets was laid in many places on the outer layer of the ships, and a large number of iron nails and iron spikes were hung on the surface of the fishing nets. This was to prevent the enemy from boarding the ship from the side of the ship, and if the enemy tried to climb up the side of the ship, he would be pierced by these sharp iron thorns, iron nails, etc.

About one-third of the soldiers boarded the warship, the warship flew the flag, the battle Yunlong Dynasty gathered a full two million troops to conquer Liangshan, but trapped in the number of ships, only about 600,000 soldiers boarded the warship, and the rest of the soldiers camped on the shore of Mingjing Lake.

Under Ponce's command, the army set sail and sailed towards the heart of Spiegel Lake.

The surface of the lake is misty, and today I don't know why there are a lot of faint white clouds on the lake.

As a result, visibility is not high at all, and it is impossible to see from a distance of 30 meters.

"Use the Gale Charm to dispel the clouds and mist on the surrounding lakes. Ponce calmly commanded.

A warlock quickly took the order, and then a warlock stepped out of the depths of the deck in an orderly manner, and then stood on the deck and chanted a spell softly.

The muttering of a low, mysterious incantation was chanted continuously, and finally it was issued, and an inexplicable force emanated from the surrounding space, and soon, all the fog on the surrounding lake was dispersed.

This can't help but make Ponce breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of temptation, if there is an enemy ambush around, then the military path evil qi will expel the surrounding heaven and earth aura like a layer of filthy debris, and it will also make the power of the spell released by the warlock plummet, and now it seems that the spell has not been affected by many things, and it seems that there should be no ambush around.

As the sailors traveled farther and farther, there was no ambush and enemy interception along the way, but it was precisely this that seemed extremely strange, and after about half an hour of driving, Liangshan Island in the distance had come into view.

"Yes, the army will come with me to capture the island! Take Liangshan!" Ponce's loud voice echoed through the ship's procession, and the next moment the speed of the ships suddenly increased, and the soldiers on the ships raised their weapons and screamed.

Less than a hundred meters away from the island, a human head suddenly appeared in the surrounding water, rushing to the bottom of the boat like a school of nimble swimming fish, and the part hidden in the water held an iron cone with a sharp handle.

A hint of cunning appeared on Ponce's heroic and masculine cheeks, and he said decisively, "Kill!"

Suddenly a window opened at the bottom of the planks on both sides, and the deck opened, from which a long crossbow with a handle poked out, aiming at the human head floating on the water.

"Whoosh!"

The Liangshan soldiers on the water could not dodge, and were pierced through the skulls by sharp crossbow arrows, letting out one scream after another, wailing and sinking to the bottom of the lake, and blood-colored splashes rose on the surface of the water.

Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, the ambushed sailors retreated, but fortunately this place was not far from the shore, and although they suffered heavy casualties, many Liangshan soldiers landed on the island from both sides and rushed into the depths of the vast dense forest.

The Yunlong Dynasty sailors were preparing to approach the shore, and a large number of rockets were shot out of the dense forest, and the flaming flame arrows rushed densely towards the sailors on the edge of the island, but the Yunlong Dynasty sailors who had been prepared for a long time sprinkled a layer of water on the deck, and all the burning arrows fell down and were quickly extinguished.

"Kill!" Ponce took the lead, and when the ship was still more than ten feet away from the shore, he leaped forward, followed by a large number of sturdy and strong soldiers, stepping on the sand and splashing a large amount of sand and dust, and rushing into the dense forest.

There were some Liangshan soldiers hiding in the dense forest, and when they saw the people of the Yunlong Dynasty rushing up, they stabbed out their spears, and some soldiers couldn't dodge and were stabbed on the spot and fell to the ground, but more soldiers kept up, and the scimitars cut out bravely, and the Liangshan soldiers who were ambushed in the dense forest were found and cut to the ground.

"Up!"

Ponce shouted angrily and swept through the thousands of troops, and the broadsword in his hand swept out, sweeping away large areas of trees and emptying a large area.

The follow-up naval army continued to land on the deck, and the Liangshan water army sent to the shore was constantly defeated and retreated.

Liangshan Island is not small, the area is dozens of miles in size, and the terrain is complex, there are mountains and trees, and there is a small plain area, relying on the familiarity of the terrain, Liangshan can still resist Ponce's water army at first, and then it was directly killed and defeated, and constantly hiding inside.

"Lure the enemy deeper?" Ponce smirked dismissively, "stop moving." Ponce stopped the army from continuing the pursuit.

"Burn me! Set fire to the mountain! I don't believe they can continue to hide!"

A large number of soldiers surrounded the major exits on the periphery to prevent the people on Liangshan from escaping, and then the other soldiers went back to take out the fire oil and other things prepared in advance on the ship, and continuously poured the fire oil on the periphery of the encirclement.

The flames spread rapidly, this is the height of summer, a large number of vegetation and shrubs are dense, and the weather is dry, it is very easy to cause fires, and now people are arson, the flames are spreading inward rapidly.
