Section 674 Show your talents to fight the water, down
Today, the sun is shining, the wind is not too big or small, and it is a good weather to fight for your life on the water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The huge row rode the wind and waves smoothly and quickly drifted to the depths of the water.
The Peach Blossom Mountain bandits got a lot of bows and arrows from the defeated officers and soldiers under Qin Ming, plus the accumulation of the usual battles in the county town, nearly half of the 6,000 people who participated in the battle were equipped with bows, and they carried full quivers. Even if he left some bows and a lot of arrows for Zhu Biao to defend the camp, the bandits still had tens of thousands of arrows, as well as a few bed crossbow weapons that they also got from the officers and soldiers.
In this way, the bandits' long-range attack ability is even stronger.
This is also the reason why Zhu Wannian promised and accepted that as long as the bow and arrow tent of Peach Blossom Mountain were brought to the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, he promised to deal with Qin Ming together, and let the rest be taken by Qingfeng Mountain.
There is grain in Taohua Mountain, and the grain and grass that occupies the officers and soldiers only increases the drag of the south.
I wish Wannian not to have these grains and grasses, and not to loot when he goes south, just to speed up the march and grab time with all his might.
As for the swords and guns that are needed better than the bandit weapons, I didn't ask for it, I didn't want it, not because I didn't want to, but because I had to give the Qingfeng Three Tigers some sweetness to make it happen.
There are also many shields of various sizes and sizes on the wooden rafts, some of which are robbed of the government, and more are homemade wooden shields, which are not covered with iron and cowhide, but they are thick and strong enough.
When the bandits naturally have the advantage of natural wood, it is not easy to prepare and build a large number of shields from nearby materials?
If you encounter a long-range attack, so many shields can be combined to cover the bandits very tightly.
The Liangshan Water Army wants to intercept and defeat the incoming attack on the water with the advantage of long-range weapons, but I am afraid it will not be so easy.
The grand row of mighty rows quickly forced forward in the water, majestic, unstoppable, and could simply push everything sideways.
The bandits sat or stood, feeling the unique coolness of the summer water, tasting the taste of rampant invincibility, all of them were full of confidence, and saw the hasty appearance of several Liangshan fast-tracking fast boats that finally appeared in the distance and desperately rowed back to avoid the rushing behemoth, the bandits were even more proud, the fierce momentum was even higher, and they laughed louder.
Zhu Wannian, who stood proudly in front of the pillar halberd, was surrounded by all the cronies, guards and bandit leaders, and for a while he was also full of pride, touching the short beard on his lips and laughing, but the fierce light in his eyes was even stronger.
Cangzhao, the blood debt you owe to my Zhu family is finally going to be repaid today!
Zhao Yue, the Cangzhao mascot that symbolizes the prosperity of your descendants in the eyes of your elders is best waiting to die in Liangshan!
I will torture you enough with my own hands, and then cut you with my own hands, chop you into mashed meat, and let you be a symbol of the descendants of your family in the underworld!
Although it is almost the farthest distance to Yangsan from the southeast, it is fast. Eight hundred miles of water does not mean that the vertical and horizontal diameter is so far. The Taohuashan robbers set off early in the morning, the time was tight, and they couldn't see the target when they were far away from Liangshan, they were at a loss on the water, and they were not familiar with the water, so they inevitably took some detours or were obstructed by the reeds, so they had to take trouble to adjust the course, but they still clearly saw that Liangshan was ahead at noon.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse.
The bandits were actually several miles away from Liangshan, but they felt that success was just around the corner, and they couldn't help but become more and more excited.
From time to time, some people cheered and cheered, and their arrogance became even more arrogant.
But just as success was in sight, a large area of reeds appeared in front of him, and he couldn't see the edge when he looked around, as if it had become an insurmountable water barrier.
The bandits couldn't help but scold their mother angrily.
What's going on?
How can there be such a large area of reeds in the depths of the lake?
Isn't that a delay?
God also took too good care of the Cangzhao family, and when he saw that Liang Shan could kill and rob, he actually set up such a big obstacle to block the way.
But Zhu Long and Zhuhu, who are people near Liangshan, and the cronies who escaped from Zhujiazhuang at the beginning, all know what is going on, and they are unhappy but not surprised.
Yangsanbo is not a lake formed by subsidence or a source of spring water underground, which is different from common natural lakes.
It was the Yellow River that flooded a few decades ago, and the river embankment was washed away and diverted to this area, because the overall low-lying terrain of this area formed a water area connecting various rivers.
Its appearance and area is so large that it means that the population at that time suffered a large number of disasters, once swallowed countless lives, I don't know how many men, women and children could not run the rapid flood at that time, simply could not escape and were ruthlessly devoured, the bones are buried in this vast underwater mud, and now the calm ripples are actually the existence and symbol of ferociousness, terrible and sin.
The reeds here and there are so luxuriant and vigorous, so green and green, maybe it is because there are too many corpses in the mud to nourish them.
The water is vast, and communicates with many rivers, there are living water sources, there are many fish and shrimp kings, rich species, abundant aquatic products, there are many varieties of water birds, you can survive leisurely, it is extremely good and perfect rare water ecosystem in Shandong, and it also brings unlimited food and delicacy to the people and creatures in this area, although it is not a source of wealth for the outbreak, if there is no Cangzhao business entrenchment, the people here will still be extremely poor and hopeless under heavy taxes, but the surface is still full of vitality and beauty.
The Cangzhao family occupied this place, and it also changed the poverty, backwardness and misery here.
Outsiders who come here for the first time, stay in the comfortable Liangshan Hotel, eat deliciously, drink fine wine, come out to hang out after having a good time, face the wonderful natural scenery of the reeds that are as vast as the ocean but have the reeds and green vitality that the ocean does not have, and see the vibrant forest surrounded by the surrounding barriers, I am afraid that they will not be able to help but sigh in admiration.
But this is a fierce place, like a seductive witch on the surface.
Even if there is a meritorious and famous Cangzhao who is widely spread all over the world, it can't change the essence of Shuibo's fierce land. What's more, the other side of the Cangzhao family's compassion is also blood-devouring.
However, this water basin was originally a undulating land, but it became a water area, but the land framework will not change, and it is not like the common lakes in the middle of the water depth, but the depth is irregular, only people who have lived in this water area for many years can generally grasp the underwater situation, and it is not surprising to encounter a vast reed swing in the depths of the water pool.
The reeds blocking the way must have been an undulating natural plateau.
Zhu Wannian is not from the vicinity of Liangshanbo, but he is not surprised.
It is not easy to adjust the course of such a huge row and find another way to pass through.
Without the help of the southeast wind, it would be like a snail crawling.
Zhu Wannian calmly commanded to continue moving forward, and after getting closer to some reeds, he dismounted and stopped, untied a few wooden rows and went out to reconnoiter the reeds and find a way.
It lives up to expectations.
The scouts soon spotted two reed-swinging waterways that could pass through the labyrinth, and were pleasantly surprised to see that both channels were relatively straight, and they could roughly see the head at a glance.
Through the waterway, I also found that this reed swing is indeed deep and wide enough, and I am afraid that it will not be three or four miles. After this area, it is almost a smooth road to Yangsan.
Heaven bless.
All the bandits shouted luck.
It seems that God is not helping Cangzhao, but to use the power of Peach Blossom Mountain to destroy Cangzhao, so he deliberately left a back door in this natural obstacle.
Zhu Wannian immediately ordered the row to be untied and turned into two verticals, so that it would be easier to turn the direction and pass through the waterway from two roads on the left and right with convenient manpower.
Because this situation was expected before, there was preparation, and all the bandits started together, and the rearrangement was quickly completed.
The grand row of floating land-like columns has turned into two long dragons on the water, straight like a dragon in the water, and its power is undiminished.
However, because this march is too smooth, there must be a lot of ships in Liangshan, which even people in the far mainland know, the Halal Mountain Rogues have also come to grab ships to go to sea, but they have not encountered Liangshan people to block, only to see a group of sentry boats to reconnoiter and scared away, since then I have never met Liangshan people, this is too abnormal, I am afraid that there is a conspiracy.
There is no need to wish Wannian to remind, the bandits also noticed that the reed swing may be the last reliance of Liangshanbo to block the army's attack, and the reed swing is only afraid of an ambush.
After receiving the previous playfulness and arrogance, the bandits who did not have to paddle were on guard with shields and bows, and paid attention to protecting the sailors.
In order to boost morale, after passing the order to prevent fire and cold arrows, he personally took his personal guards and several leaders who were proficient in water warfare to choose a waterway in front of him by a single wooden platoon.
The bandits watched as the leader and a few wooden platoons exploring the path passed smoothly until they were about to pass, and a flag fluttering to signal that it was safe and feasible, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and became excited.
The people of Liangshan have not been dispatched to block the attack, maybe they knew that they could not stop the high move of the leader of Zhu and simply gave up and chose to defend the mountain.
Or is it loading the ship and running away in a hurry?
Thinking that Liangshan had merchant guards but could not have many good fighters to defend the mountain, and that it was impossible for them to defeat nearly 10,000 robber opponents in land warfare, and that they were very likely to be busy moving away the gold and silver treasures and escaping, the hearts of the bandits were suddenly hot, and the fear of the reeds was also left behind, and they all screamed and urged the sailors to work harder and faster.
Killing the famous Cangzhao, becoming famous in the world, and making a fortune in a war, these are just around the corner.
"I said brother, don't be lazy at this time. Hurry up. ”
…………
The two dragons entered the two waterways far apart.
The bandits were still on high alert, but there was not much fear in their chests.
No traces of oil were found, and at this time, even if the people of Liangshan were not short of fire oil, it would be too late to ambush the reeds and wait for the opportunity to set fire to the oil. Numerous bows and arrows on the wooden platoon can prevent approaching.
The Liangshan people poured oil in the distance, and that was a joke.
Not to mention that there are thick reeds that effectively separate the flow, and the oil is far away, and when it floats over, the long dragon is enough to rush out.
It is not possible to dare to pour oil under water nearby, and it is difficult to pour out oil that is lighter than water in water. The people in the water are waiting to die under the rain of arrows.
The only thing to guard against is cold arrows.
If Liang Shan dares to send water ghosts to destroy the wooden rafts, cut the iron chain under the water, you can find it above, and stab it indiscriminately. Whoever dares to come will die.
The company platoon tactics created by Zhu Wannian have no flaws.
The bandits became more and more confident, and only set up their shields to protect them tightly, and the overwhelming cold arrows were not much of a threat.
What's more, how many bows and arrows can Liangshan have to sneak attack?
The rafts were all entering the waterway, and they were struggling to march when suddenly, thunderous drumming and screeching gongs suddenly sounded in the vast maze of reeds.
The bandits were startled, instinctively shielding their shields tighter, and nervously peeking around through the gaps. But all I could see was green reeds swaying in the wind.
The earth-shattering noise seems to be approaching.
Sure enough, there was an ambush.
The Liangshan people are coming, and the war is going to start in the narrow waterway?
That very arrogant and prestigious Cangliang Xiaobawang wants to fight with us in the reeds?
The bandits were suspicious, nervously scanned their surroundings, and mounted their bows and arrows, becoming more and more prepared for battle.
Their attention was diverted, because they were not afraid of the water ghosts destroying from under the water, and they all stared around, for fear that they were the unlucky bastard of the cold arrow, and they would lose their lives and make a fortune.
The real ambush was actually in the reeds near the waterway, and it was activated at the first time of the noise.
A total of more than 200 water ghosts, dressed in camouflage sharks, wearing nose clips, and holding breathable long reed pipes, quietly slipped into the water, and in the blink of an eye, they dived under the wooden raft that they had been aiming at early.
The leader of the sneak attack was Diao Gui and Diao Chun of the original Shijie Village, the deputy generals of the Navy Army.
The silly boy Kuisan, who can fight all three battles, is also among them.
He used to be the second King Kong of the Demon King of the Henghai Sea, the most powerful thug, the strongest in water warfare, usually stupid, but there is a heart in a battle, at this moment like a swimming fish quietly under the shadow of the long dragon of the wooden row, from the waist out of a vise to bite a ring in the middle part of the wooden row, the thick arm is forceful, under the action of the long-handle lever, a soft click cut off one side of the iron ring, and then pull out the serrated sharp knife and cut most of the rough rope with the thickness of the thumb at once, the force is too great, the knife is too sharp, almost cut the rope completely.
He didn't break the chain rope directly, and then sneaked into the next wooden raft to continue the destruction......
The approaching thunderous noise, the sound of the wooden drainers paddling and exerting force, and the swaying of the reeds ........ drown out the sound of shearing.
The densely covered shield figures on the wooden rafts block the sunlight and also cover the water, making the already low transparency of the water more and more dark and unclear, and it is more and more difficult to find people below.
Kui San did a good job, and he wrapped several wooden rafts alone.
The other water ghosts don't have as much strength as him, and the water nature may not be able to match it, but they can also work hard and effectively.
Except for a strong man like Kuisan, everyone else is a pair of twos and twos, and they are responsible for destroying the chains and ropes at both ends of the wooden row together, and turning around and working with the other after doing it.
The bandits on the wooden raft felt the drum sound closer, and their nerves couldn't help but tense, and a pair of vicious eyes scanned the reeds, and finally a cold arrow shot through the reeds, and some unlucky bandits were shot into the flaw, letting out a penetrating scream, which made them even more nervous.
