Outside Jeju City, Yangsanbo waterfront.

Now it is the crisp season of autumn, and the water's edge is full of green and yellow reeds one or two people high, and the layers make it difficult to see the situation in the reeds.

The reason why the Liangshan Water Army was elusive and the officers and soldiers who had repeatedly fought were caught off guard was mainly because of the advantages of the terrain.

Just like now, the sky was just dark, and looking at the reeds with only a faint black shadow, Li Jun and the others landed in the dark with an army of 20,000 without anyone noticing.

These people are very familiar with the terrain around Yangsanbo, especially the north side of Jeju Fortress and the east side of the Ninth Route Official Army Barracks, and they explore every day, so it can be said that they can return to Yangsan through the reeds with their eyes closed.

Hundreds of warships were hidden in the reeds by an army of 20,000 people, and only fifty or sixty people were sent to guard them, and the rest were divided into six routes and sneaked to the edge of Jeju City.

In the dark, Li Jun said to the other seventeen: "My brother asked us to storm Jeju City, but in fact, it was just to build momentum, not really to take down this city, and there were officials and soldiers coming behind us at any time, so we only need 5,000 men and horses to attack Jeju City; The other horses are hidden on both sides, once the officers and soldiers come to the rescue, they will be surrounded on both sides, and then they will be able to attract more officers and soldiers, and the purpose of our trip has been achieved, what do you think? ”

Zhang Heng said: "According to me, there are only one or two thousand officers and soldiers in Jeju City, and we have 20,000 troops here, so simply knock down Jeju City, let's rely on these 20,000 people to defend for half an hour, and it is no problem to defend for half an hour!" And don't worry about the officers and soldiers coming from behind, wouldn't it be more stable? ”

Li Jun pondered: "That being said, I am worried that there is an ambush in the city!" Even Brother Gongming and the military advisor are afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, we should be more careful......"

"Haha!" Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile, "Brother Li only wants to be stable in everything, but he doesn't want to make greater contributions. Although our eighteen brothers and others have brought 20,000 soldiers and horses here, most of these 20,000 are old and weak, and if they are intercepted by the official army under this Jeju city, will they not become sheep to be slaughtered? I also agree with Brother Zhang Heng's words, just enter Jeju City, it's not like we haven't entered it! ”

Li Jun didn't refute either, and turned to Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaoqi and asked, "What do the three brothers think?" ”

Zhang Shun hesitated: "I also think it's better to be stable!" Today's battle is too important to my Liangshan, and our side is the first battle, if it is self-defeating by my brothers, won't it ruin Brother Gongming's plan? It's better to send 5,000 people to attack the Jeju City Gate as Brother Li Jun said, and the others are ambushed on both sides! ”

"According to what Brother Gongming said, let's fight with the officials and soldiers here for half an hour and then retreat, and go back to support Lu Yuan!"

Ruan Xiaoqi also said.

"Little Seven! How did you become so timid now? Ruan Xiaoer was a little dissatisfied, "This battle is to fight for my Liangshan, and it is also to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see the skills of our Liangshan heroes, if we stay here in a mess for half an hour, what kind of ability is it?" It's better to enter Jeju City, and let the prince know that our Liangshan Water Army can also attack the city, and save the future war and always leave our water army aside! ”

After speaking, he looked at the 12 lieutenants.

After listening to Ruan Xiaoer's words, everyone thought so, and everyone voted at the moment, except for Tong Wei and Tong Meng, most of them supported entering Jeju City.

Li Jun had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, we can't stop the brothers from making meritorious contributions!" Let's divide half of the people to fight Jeju Fortress first, and the other half of the people are ambushed on both sides, if Jeju Fortress is broken, we will go into the city together to defend; If there is an ambush in the official army, we can kill him for a while! ”

"That's a good idea!"

Everyone agreed, and at the moment sent good people, Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Meng Kang, Wang Dingliu, Li Li, Zheng Tianshou, Wang Ying, Hu Sanniang nine to attack the city, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoqi, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Sun Xin, Gu sister-in-law, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang nine ambushed outside.

Zhang Heng, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaowu sneaked to the city with 10,000 people, took two long bamboo poles and gently put them on the edge of the city wall, the length of the bamboo poles was just enough for the female wall; Zhang Heng and Ruan Xiaoer climbed up gently one by one, and after only a dozen breaths, they put their hands on the battlement, the two exchanged a look, took a deep breath together, jumped hard, and landed on the city wall.

"Who?"

Someone in the darkness shouted and asked, Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly stepped forward to subdue him, and the sergeant turned around and knocked a few times on his back when he saw this, and immediately the gong shook loudly!

"I'm fucking you!"

Ruan Xiaoer scolded remorsefully and knocked the sergeant unconscious with one punch, and then saw dozens of defenders on the city wall in the distance with torches.

"Quick! Come on! The city is defenseless! I will definitely be able to take Jeju City today! ”

Zhang Heng excitedly shouted to the city, and then the other seven leaders climbed the city wall through bamboo poles in turn.

"Go and open the gates!"

The others took weapons and went to meet the dozens of defenders, while Ruan Xiaowu took Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang and his wife down the city wall to the city gate hole, and there was no one on the road, and the city gate was opened very smoothly.

"The gates are open, kill!"

The 10,000 troops outside shouted and swarmed in, and in an instant, thousands of people had poured into Jeju City.

"How can it be so fast?"

Li Jun saw the situation at the city gate from a distance, and couldn't help but doubt in his heart, it was too smooth, and he felt a little unreal.

"Brother, let's kill it too! After a while, the officers and soldiers are coming, and we can't let the three of us block it! ”

Tong Weitong looked at Li Jun with fierce eyes, Li Jun's heart softened, and he shouted "Enter the city", three or four thousand people happily rushed to the city gate, while on the other side, Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi had already run to the front with people.

……

In the reeds, there were one or two hundred dark shadows quietly found out where the Liangshan Water Army hid the boat, and everyone found a Liang Mountain Water Army guarding the ship; Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, a young man suddenly jumped out under the water, and for a while the sound of the water was loud, and fifty or sixty Liang Shanshui soldiers who were napping in the cabin were shocked to stand up suddenly, and then they were pulled into the water again......

After dozens of breaths, Li Bao took 200 sailors and pressed more than 50 Liangshan water troops ashore and handed them over to a team of officers and soldiers waiting on the shore.

"Brothers! A big boat per person, let's go! ”

Li Bao shouted quietly, and the 200 people each found a big boat to prop up the reeds and went south along the water's edge.

This was their first mission, which was to snatch 200 large ships.

Liang Shanjun's sense of defense was too strict. Since Gao Yu's two defeats, except for the ships of the Liangshan army, the ships of other officials and civilians were captured or damaged by Liangshan in the war, so the warships became a scarce resource for the officials and soldiers. This is also the reason why Gao Yu used Ye Chun to build a big ship.
