Chapter 41 Li Dai Tao stiff
As soon as Li Liang's son was on the ship, the escort boats on both sides had already seen it and tried to get closer. It's just that the Liangshan soldiers and the officers and soldiers are mixed together, and the officers and soldiers on the two ships throw rat traps, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people. In addition, the chief officer was held hostage, so he did not dare to open the bow, so he could only try to take the side and send troops to board the main ship to carry out reinforcements.
However, before they could take overboard, the three sea ships led by Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu had already rushed over. With Ruan Xiaoer's order, the soldiers on the three sea ships shot out the bed crossbows one after another.
'Whoosh...... Sou...... The ......' crossbow bolts tore through the air and shot at the officers and soldiers with a roar, and in the screams, the officers and soldiers were hit by arrows one after another.
The bolts swept across the splint like spears, killing seven or eight people on the spot, and a few others collapsed to the ground, clutching their bloody mouths.
The losses of the own side that had just been engaged in the battle were not small, which made a commotion on the official ship, and an emotion called fear crept into the hearts of everyone, the officers and men looked frightened, and the commander on the ship also broke out in a cold sweat.
With only two volleys, the officers and men on the escort ship were already overwhelmed with their heads. Then closer, Ruan Xiaoer commanded the Divine Arm Bow to appear, and Liangshan suppressed it with full firepower.
Because he was afraid that the news of the abduction of the envoys would be exposed, Wang Lun did not plan to let these people go back. The second brother of Nguyen also led the ship to approach the two escort ships, intending to take prisoners. Not to mention anything else, these two official ships are also a wealth for Liangshan.
Smoothly took overboard, Ruan Xiaoer impatiently boarded the bow of the boat. Followed by Liang Shan's fierce sailors who were not afraid of death, they wanted to show their skills in front of Wang Lun one by one.
At the moment of death, the officers and men fought bravely to kill the enemy on the one hand, and complained bitterly on the other, although the flanks were guarded by robes, but the deck was only seven or eight meters wide, and everyone was huddled side by side. There are many moves that cannot be performed, and the most important thing is that there is no room to flicker around. Although the officers and men were superior in numbers, they did not have a geographical advantage at all.
"Kill!" Ruan Xiao's head tilted to the left, narrowly avoiding the enemy's spear, and returned the opponent's shot, the tip of the spear broke into the enemy's chest, and came out through his back. Ruan Xiaoer pulled out the bloody spear, didn't look at the opponent who fell to the ground, and swung the big gun to attack another enemy.
There are several tigers of the Ruan brothers, how can the sheep on the official ship be opponents. After a moment, I threw away my armor and poured my fart.
At this time, the officers and soldiers on the main ship were also killed by Lu Zhishen and Shan Shiqi, and surrendered.
Shan Shiqi escorted a military attache in battle armor and walked towards Wang Lun.
"Brother, this man's armor is different from the others, and if he is a dog officer, I didn't hurt him. just beat him up and brought him to his brother for questioning. ”
Shan Shiqi saluted Wang Lun with a fist, and then shouted to the general, "Say! Tell me everything you know. If there is half a sentence that is not true, the master will kill you alive! ”
"The king spares his life...... The king spares his life! The military general only thought that Wang Lun and the others were the Haikou of Liaodong, and he was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Wang Lun and begged. Then he honestly explained what he knew.
It turned out that this military general was a commander beside Tong Guan, who was accustomed to flattery on weekdays, and was good at white horse whiskers, so he was deeply loved by Tong Guan. This person often stayed by Tong Guan's side, this time to envoy Jurchen, Tong Guan hugged the fantasy of the king, and attached great importance to the alliance between the two sides, so he sent him to escort Li Lianghei. If the covenant can be signed, it will naturally be a great achievement.
As a military general, this commander is not as good as Li Liangsi, a civil official. greedy for life and afraid of death, spineless, naturally spurned by Wang Lun. However, precisely because this commander is a villain who cherishes his life, it is naturally easier to get the information he wants from his mouth.
This mission, because it was the first time in a hundred years that he took the initiative to contact the Jurchens, and there was also the influence of the Liao State, so the internal saying of the Song Dynasty was to sell horses in Liaodong. Only a few participants knew about the mission, and although the envoy was Tong Guan's confidant, Tong Guan also talked about it for him.
Tong Guan just instructed the commander to carefully protect Li Liangsi's safety. Guard against the Liao State spies to listen to the news, and inquire about the Jurchen intelligence in many ways to understand its strength and combat effectiveness. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the attitude of the Jurchens towards the Great Song Dynasty and so on.
When Wang Lun heard this, he said in his heart, and said in his heart that this Tong Guan was really entrusted with an important task for this commander. It's just that Tong Guan uses non-people, this command makes a straw bag, and Tong Guan's vision ability does not ask about himself.
The commander said a lot of trivial things. But what Wang Lun cares about most is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to buy horses this time.
That's 30,000! Even the best Liaodong horses can also be bought in thousands.
Although there are nearly 1,000 cavalry in Liangshan today, most of the war horses are local horses, which are not as strong as the war horses in Liaodong. The Liaodong war horse is tall, and its outstanding ones weigh more than 1,000 catties and are nearly two meters tall. Even the average Liaodong war horse weighs 800 catties and is about 1.5 meters tall.
Wang Lun went to sea this time and asked Ruan Xiaoer to bring a large amount of Liangshan wine. Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and the Jurchens have lived here for a long time, so they are naturally good at wine. A high-grade liquor like Yangsan Fine Wine is an excellent drink to ward off the cold. Wang Lun didn't believe that he proposed a plan to exchange Liangshan wine for sycophants, and the Jurchens would not be moved.
On this mission to the Jurchens, Li Liangsi did not carry much gold, silver and jewelry, and there were 30,000 taels of silver for buying horses alone. Coupled with the gold, silver and jewelry used to dot up and down, it is definitely not less than 50,000 taels of silver, but it is cheaper than Wang Lun.
Wang Lun waved his hand and motioned for Yang Lin and Shan Shiqi to escort Li Liangsi and the commander to his ship. After that, he handed over the aftermath to Ruan Xiaoer, and he led people back to Qin Island first.
After returning to the island, Li Liangsi and the commander were escorted to the simple wooden house built by Wang Lun and others after landing on the island.
"Who are you? Why are you intercepting me here? ”
"Listening to your accent, it should be from the Central Plains, why do you want to do something that is not good for the Great Song Dynasty?" Li Liangsi still didn't give up, and asked incessantly.
"What you do may be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, but what I do is beneficial to the Han people, do you know?" Wang Lun watched Li Liangsi being locked up and said lightly.
Soon, Ruan Xiaoer had also done the post-work and escorted 100 surviving officers and soldiers to the island.
The Song Dynasty's travel team, in addition to a cadre of civil officials, sent a total of more than 200 elite officers and soldiers to escort it. However, after a battle at sea, there are now only eighty or ninety people left, among whom there are more than 20 lightly and seriously wounded.
Ruan Xiaoer commanded the soldiers to remove the armor from the deceased's body, and then gathered the deceased together and buried them. Although he was an opponent, Ruan Xiaoer also handled Song Bing's aftermath very carefully.
After a simple bandage and dressing, the wounded were arranged separately to recuperate. As for the seriously injured, whether they survive or not depends on their creation.
On the second day, the sixty or seventy uninjured officers and soldiers guarded by Ruan Xiaoer were gathered together and used tools to cut down wood and chisel stones. This island is only a day's sea journey from Liaodong and Dengzhou, and if you need to raid these two places in the future, this is a good transit point, and Wang Lun wants to establish a base on this small island.
What's more, Wang Lun wanted to block the news of his hijacking of the envoys, so he naturally wanted to imprison these officers and soldiers. What better place to be a place of imprisonment than an island surrounded by water?
After handing over the affairs on the island to Ruan Xiaoer, Wang Lun took Lu Zhishen, Yang Lin, Shan Shiqi and a hundred soldiers to set off for Suzhou in Liaodong on a sea ship.
