After being deposed for a major mistake, Liang Lie originally thought that he would never come out, but because of his father and daughter, this water army trained to successfully stand on the command platform again, although there were only 3,000 water troops, but these 3,000 water troops had to consume 3,000 per day, and there was absolutely no second share of this kind of expenditure throughout the ages, even the Great Song Dynasty held the Japanese forbidden army, the Jin State Tie Futu, the Liao State Tielin Army, and the Xixia Iron Harrier were far from such a big expense.

Liang Hong saw that his father was worried, so he said, "Father, this expedition, as long as you win, you may be promoted to the third rank, why are you still worried?" ”

"If you're still not motivated, you know when you can grow up in the Qinglou!" Liang Lie glared at Liang Hong fiercely, and he said with a little sadness, "This Sea Thunderbolt is your brother-in-law's private soldier, he spent a lot of money to build, it can be said that a mountain of gold in exchange for this team, you have to know what the consequences are once the army is defeated, you have ten heads are not enough to cut off." If your brother-in-law can't fly for nine days, then we will have to wander overseas in the future. ”

"How so?" Liang Lie has always been unable to understand the things in officialdom, so he knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but this gentleman is not ambiguous in fighting, and his ability to command the naval army is no longer under his father Liang Lie, and he is even more flexible in fighting, and he is good at winning by surprise.

"Let's not talk about other armies, just this army consumes 3,000 guan a day, 90,000 guan in a month, and more than 1 million guan a year, which can completely feed an army of 100,000. The key is that this is a private soldier, Liu Zhenglong is a civilian official, what do you want such a powerful naval army to do? ”

Liang Lie thought of the most terrible place, Liu Zhenglong is already a rich country, there should be no pursuit of wealth, at least there is no pursuit in the short term, if he does not pursue wealth, the pursuit of beauty is even more nonsense, so he said that there is only one last possibility, he doesn't dare to think about it, and he doesn't dare to say it.

Liang Hong said stupidly, "Mo Fei, he thinks?" Why don't we report to the police. ”

"Report to the official, your head is in the water, we are relatives, that is to exterminate the Nine Clans, and our whole family will be wiped out." Liang Lie stretched out his slap and slapped his son hard, and the old man said angrily, "He flies for nine days, and we will ascend to heaven, if your sister gives birth to Lin'er again, it will be unspeakably expensive in the future, we are already on the boat, and we are destined not to get off." ”

"Since you can't get down, then what else do you have to worry about, father, as long as you lead the army to the west." Liang Lie was obviously not convinced, in his opinion, it was much better now than before, brother-in-law Long Fei Jiutian, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways.

"There have been 30,000 sailors who have set off in advance, you must know that we are the most critical part in determining the outcome of this battle, and we resolutely dare not make any mistakes, which not only carries his future fortune, but also carries the future fortune of the Liang family, the Pan family, and even the Great Song Dynasty."

Liang Hong patted his chest and said, "Then you can rest assured, in this battle, your son will definitely not disgrace you." ”

The root cause of the previous defeat was the inability to control the army and the lack of military discipline, this army is a steely team, and it is absolutely forbidden to do so, so Liang Hong is very sure.

"Okay, let's go, I heard that your sister is in Jingzhao Mansion, maybe she is also pregnant, and we have to fight the military."

Yes, there is indeed a naval army that has set off, it is the Jiaolong Army led by Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, this team of 30,000 people set off in a mighty way, and there was no concealment along the way, but the scouts on the shore have been patrolling, and they found that the Western Xia spies were directly killed, of course, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

The existence of this naval army is to reassure Brother Richard, the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty, otherwise this Western Xia God of War must be unsteady when he fights, after all, 80,000 infantry against 100,000 cavalry is a bit mysterious, which is not in line with Liu Zhenglong's combat style, and the existence of a strange soldier behind it is called normal.

At the beginning of the battle of Shuofang, it was the sudden navy that finally decided the victory, and then pushed forward, the battle of Muzhou, there was also the shadow of the navy, and the pacification of Liangshan also had the shadow of the navy.

The army appeared on the frontal battlefield, and the navy hid behind to give a fatal blow, this combat style has been formed and will not change in a short time, this is the definition given to Liu Zhenglong by Brother Richard, the king of Jin.

This expedition, Li Jun is in a good mood, after all, he is now a strong soldier, and the generals of the navy are also fierce generals, not to mention that there were two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng before, as well as Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, and later joined Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Sanxiong. There are so many fierce generals, just as a pretense to go on the expedition, it can't be said that it is somewhat regrettable.

Ruan Xiaoqi urgently needed to make a contribution, and he said to Li Jun, "Brother Li, why did our 30,000 naval army not appear as the main attack this time, but as a feint, is it because Liang Hong is Lord Liu's brother-in-law?" ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Li Jun's face sank, and he said viciously, "Put away your bandit style in Liangshan, we are officers and soldiers, we must pay attention to everything we say and do, as a lower-level general, how can we discuss the rights and wrongs of the superiors, how can military affairs be child's play." Lord Liu is the god of war of the contemporary Song Dynasty, and his achievements in the future will be greater than that of Di Qing, who was in the previous dynasty, how could he be a child's play on the battlefield. ”

Ruan Xiaoer saw that Li Jun was angry, so he hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, my brother, my brother is used to being lazy with this temper. Since joining the official army, I have not had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I am a little eager to make meritorious contributions, so I will speak without proportion, and I hope that adults will forgive me. ”

The peacemaker Zhang Shun saw that something was wrong, and he said with a smile, "You three brothers don't know, in the army, Lord Liu is like a god-like existence, and arguing about it is generally done by military law." It's normal that you three brothers didn't know when they first arrived, but don't make such mistakes after that. In the army, I will always remember that Lord Liu's orders are above all else, and if there is a violation of military law, no one is exempt. ”

Ruan Xiaowu, who has always had a sensitive sense of smell, sniffed out an unusual breath, and he pulled Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi, signaling not to continue.

That night, Ruan's Sanxiong was drinking in the room, and Ruan Xiaoqi said very depressedly, "I knew that there were so many restrictions in the official army, and it was better to follow Brother Song Jiang in Jiangnan." ”

"What's good, if Lord Liu didn't open the net, how could Song Jiang leave Liangshan and go to Jiangnan?" Ruan Xiaoer was a little pessimistic, and after he drank the wine in the wine glass, he said helplessly, "It's not comfortable to be an official, and it's not an official." We have put on official robes and can never go back, so they complain all day long, it is better to hold back their efforts and make meritorious contributions. ”

Ruan Xiaowu gave it to his brother, and after the younger brother filled the wine, he said with a smile, "You two are too, you can't use your brains." This team is Lord Liu's private soldiers, and it is by no means as simple as an official army. As long as you are loyal to Lord Liu, as long as you have the ability, it is not impossible to be crowned a wife and a son in the future, and it is not impossible to be a marquis and worship the prime minister. Don't think about it so much, see the real chapter on the battlefield, and let Li Jun see the skills of our Ruan clan Sanxiong. ”

Private soldiers, at this time, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi can guess what it means without a head, and the two brothers seem to see a great future.

No one doesn't want to make a contribution, no one doesn't want to show their skills in a team that has always been disciplined and rewarded and punished.

It's not that Li Jun is intolerable, but as the commander of this naval army, the burden on his shoulders is too heavy. This time, Lord Liu claimed to be 80,000 infantry against 100,000 cavalry in Western Xia, but in fact, only 30,000 Longxiang troops were really put into battle, and the others were just strong and mighty.

The three heroes of the Ruan family are capable, but they are also unruly, and there is still a long way to go if they want to serve Lord Liu in a down-to-earth manner.

Just when Li Jun was thinking nonsense, the three heroes of the Ruan family came with roast chicken and soju, and Ruan Xiaowuyi took the initiative to apologize when he entered the house, obviously the three brothers were sincere.

Li Jun also put down his body, he said with a wry smile, "Actually, I was also born in Zhanshan as the king, and later worked for Lord Liu. This navy was borrowed by Lord Liu at the beginning, and then gradually grew in my hands. In fact, in the establishment of the Privy Council, there are still 3,000 people, and the military salary of 30,000 people is paid by Lord Liu out of his own pocket, and the reference standard is to support the Japanese forbidden army, I will not explain the specifics, in a word, as long as you are loyal to Lord Liu, you are destined to soar in the future, and you are also my good brother Li Jun. If you cut it twice, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Ruan's three heroes took out a sharp knife, cut off half of their little fingers, and the three of them swore that they would serve Liu Zhenglong in this life and this life until death.

Li Jun was touched by the three heroes of the Ruan family, and he regarded the three as his brothers, and they would share life and death in the future, sharing blessings and difficulties.

At this time, if you drink again, the whole atmosphere will be different, as the eldest brother, Li Jun personally poured the wine for Ruan's three heroes and said with a smile, "Everyone's opportunities are different, and it is destined that the fate will be different. But after meeting Lord Liu, he made me understand that a husband stands in the world, when there is a so-called, there is something to do, the so-called killing the rich and helping the poor, to put it bluntly, is to disregard human life, to put it bluntly, what is the difference between those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, bullies and hooligans. If we have a good ability, we should make meritorious contributions and seek benefits for the people as much as possible within our ability, for example, we are the county commander, as long as we are honest and honest and do practical things for the people, that is to benefit one party, and truly let the people get benefits, instead of being the king of the mountain and killing a few bullies and hooligans. ”

"But, big brother, our Great Song Dynasty has always been a civil official, can a person like us who was born as a bandit really be a county magistrate and a prefect?" Ruan Xiaowu is more eager to be an official, but of course he also has his own concerns in his heart.

"The Great Song Dynasty has always been a scholar and a doctor, but under the command of Lord Liu, as long as you have the ability, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and become an official, here, the rewards and punishments are clear. If you make a mistake, even Lord Liu's cronies, relatives, and even brothers are still severely punished and have made meritorious contributions, even if you are a pawn, no one dares to covet your merits. ”

After all, Li Jun has read books and still has a certain understanding of history, and this guy told the history of the Qin State Shang Ying's reforms, of course, half of it is historical records and hearsay, and half of it is his own foolishness.

The three heroes of the Ruan family are all iron-clad men, and the reason is that the nine cows can't be pulled back, and they decided that Liu Zhenglong is the lord at this time, and they will serve him in this life and this life, which is completely different from the previous in Liangshan. Mixed with Chao Gai before, and later Chao Gai was killed by Song Jiang, the three of them lost their way and didn't know where to go.

Li Jun continued, "Actually, you don't know, the water army is definitely not as simple as being able to swim. It's not that you can win battles by knowing the nature of water and understanding river hydrology, but the knowledge in this is deep, and I will pass it on to you one by one another day. The king forgot to tell you, Lord Liu is a landlubber, and the water quality is very poor, but he is very proficient in the art of water warfare, and my art of water warfare is taught by Lord Liu. Throughout the ages, it is basically land warfare, it can be said that cavalry and infantry determine the direction of the entire war, but many times, the naval army can play a strange effect, such as this attack on Western Xia, Lord Liu only led 80,000 infantry, of which 50,000 are Western Army, to put it bluntly, it is just shouting and cheering, only 30,000 forbidden troops really participated in the battle, and the battle was against the Jin King Richard Brother, who is known as the god of war in Western Xia, and this person's cavalry tactics have reached a state of supernatural transformation. In this case, even if the god of war Bai Qi reincarnated, it would be difficult to defeat Richard's 100,000 cavalry with 30,000 infantry. Lord Liu has not been arrogant to that point, in this battle, the infantry is a disguise, and it is the naval army that really determines the victory. You remember that a defeat is like a mountain, as long as the Western Xia cavalry shows signs of defeat and retreat, in addition to the 50,000 Western Army, there will be 150,000 Western Army behind will join the battle group, then it will not be just an encounter, but an encirclement and annihilation battle. ”

"30,000 Longxiang troops plus 30,000 sailors, it's only 60,000, if you defeat 100,000 cavalry in Western Xia?" Ruan Xiaoer still felt that something was wrong, such a duel, even if the navy played a strange role, it was impossible to defeat 100,000 cavalry.

Li Jun showed a treacherous smile on his face, and he said mysteriously, "60,000 can't beat 100,000 cavalry, but we still have 3,000 sailors, and those 3,000 sailors carry the magic weapon to win, I don't know what it is." It's just that Lord Liu said that as long as the magic weapon is on the battlefield, you will definitely be able to defeat the Western Xia cavalry, you don't have to worry about this, we just need to do our own tasks, what awaits us is victory, I believe in Lord Liu's arrangement. ”

This is also too mysterious, and it is a bit incredible that there can be a magic weapon in war. However, Ruan Thiong Sanxiong didn't think so, he just felt that Li Jun, the core secret inside, was unwilling to tell him.

In fact, Li Jun didn't believe in the problem of the magic weapon, but he knew that Master Liu must have a way to win, but he didn't tell himself, no matter what, he couldn't make any mistakes in this game.

The next day, in the conference room, Li Jun began to arrange tactics, this is the first time he used a sand table, to be honest, he is not skilled at all, although he has simulated many times before, this guy is still stumbling when he speaks, but the general meaning can be explained clearly.

Li Jun pointed to the sand table and said, "This place is called Shajiaotou, the whole terrain is triangular, the northeast side is close to the big river, that is, the direction of our troops, under the cover of mountains and woods, it is difficult for the Western Xia scouts to find us, the timing of our troops is at night, so the soldiers have to start to adapt to night battles these days." ”

Night combat is not a big problem for the navy, after all, there is this content in the training of the navy. However, this kind of large-scale operation, if the military order cannot prohibit it, it is still quite troublesome.

Li Jun continued, "There are two divergences from the big river, one faces west along Langhao Mountain, and the other faces south along Jinhao Mountain, and there is a military city in the middle, this military city is the location of the Western Xia military rations, and our task is to end this military city and let the Western Xia army come to the rescue." Ruan's three heroes led 10,000 sailors to the west, and Zhang Shun brothers led 10,000 troops to the south. ”

"Obey."

Military orders on the battlefield are like mountains, as long as the commander gives the military order, the generals below will execute it, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, they will move forward bravely and never hesitate.

Li Jun continued, "Tong Wei, Tong Meng, your two brothers led a 5,000-strong naval army to take charge of General Liang Lie, and you must ensure that this army cannot be discovered by the Western Xia scouts in advance, and if there is a mistake, you will not be spared. ”

"Order." Tong Wei and Tong Meng knew that Liang Lie's 3,000 water army was the main force in this battle, and once it was discovered by the Western Xia scouts, it would be difficult to ship the role of the surprise soldiers, so there was no need for Li Jun to emphasize, they also knew the seriousness of the matter.

After all the arrangements were made, Li Jun said, "There is still half a month to go, and everyone can simulate this water war in advance. In addition, the Western Xia army did not have a navy, but they had sheepskin rafts, if they took advantage of the darkness to launch the water, once the sheepskin raft approached our warship and set the warship on fire, it would be a big loss, therefore, in the simulation, this link must be taken into account. ”

Simulated war, which is the most common on the modern battlefield, is also a very important part of the victory or defeat of the war, but it was not available in ancient times, which is the most important part of the war that Liu Zhenglong brought to this era.

Li Jun has been following Liu Zhenglong for a long time, he loves to learn again, and he attaches great importance to war simulations, and this time he is teaching his subordinates.

Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng are all familiar with war simulation, but the first contact between Ruan and Sanxiong was slow, but they quickly straightened it out and understood the meaning of war simulation.
