A few days passed quickly, and Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang led 10,000 forbidden troops to Jeju City, and tens of thousands of troops from the surrounding state capitals also gathered in Jeju, so that Gao Yu's subordinates had 60,000 or 70,000 horses. Moreover, the shipyard is also progressing smoothly, and in a few days, forty or fifty loach boats will be built, and with the large and small ships collected earlier, the officers and men will have a huge naval army.

Looking at the growing strength, Gao Yu couldn't help but be full of ambition again, he thought that he must destroy Liangshan before mid-November, and strive to return to the dynasty before the New Year. Whenever he thought of the glory of the moment when the officials greeted each other and the people were in the middle of the road, he was excited.

At the same time, Liangshan Manor was also actively preparing for the final battle with the imperial court this year. According to Xiao Jiasui's letter, he is also progressing very smoothly in Dengzhou, and now he has controlled Wendeng, plus the original Muping, there is only one Huang County left in the whole territory of Dengzhou, and it is currently being planned. Therefore, Gu Haotian also wanted to end the war here as soon as possible and go to Dengzhou to see the specific situation on that side.

After dealing with the matter of the Jeju shipyard, Gu Haotian handed over the matter to Xu Guanzhong, and there was still a second batch of more than 30,000 captives to deal with on Liangshan, and he wanted to take advantage of the gap in these few days to solve him. However, this batch is relatively easy to solve, one of the early Wen Huanzhang led people to do a lot of publicity and guidance, and more importantly, the seven sections made all of them vigorously cooperate, which played a double the result with half the effort. In the end, most of Wang Huan and Mei Zhan chose to stay, and most of the forbidden troops returned to their hometowns, and the sailors who cared most about the manor were mostly left behind because Liu Menglong was willing to surrender. In the end, nearly 20,000 of the 30,000 officers and soldiers volunteered to stay in Liangshan Manor, it can be said that the war is not over, Gao Yu has sent 30,000 soldiers to Liangshan Manor, and there are countless ships and materials, a proper fortune boy.

A few days later, according to the news of the Jeju Dockyard, with more than 1,000 people working day and night, 100 loach boats have been built. Subsequently, information also came back from Jeju City, because Gao Yu was eager to return to Beijing for meritorious service, he would attack Yangsan in the near future. The Yangshan Management Office had already made a decision for this battle, so a response to the action was also launched.

On this day, the latest big loach boat in the Jeju Shipyard was completed, and the master craftsman Meng Kang invited Ye Chun and twenty or thirty other high-level craftsmen to go down to the lake to test the performance of the boat, but this last test was never returned, and then there were rumors that the boat was hijacked by the Yangshan Water Army.

The robbery of the craftsman immediately evolved into the fuse for the imperial army to attack Liangshan. Due to the departure of dozens of top craftsmen, the loach ships can no longer be built, but the existing various ships and newly built loach boats reach more than 1,000, which is enough for the military and soldiers. In addition, Gao Yu and the others thought that Liangshan Caokou was afraid of the power of the loach boat, so he made this decision, and he should act as soon as possible and not give them a chance to breathe.

On the same day, Gao Yu issued a combat order, he took Zhou Ang and Zhang Kai to select 20,000 elite cavalry from the whole army, set off overnight and rushed to Lijiadaokou before tomorrow, and he personally led the army to set off at midnight, and took the Liangshan Manor by water, and the two sides agreed to attack together at the time. Jeju was left with only a few thousand old and weak, and the acting prefect Shi Wenbin stayed behind.

Let's say that Zhou Ang and Zhang Kai led 20,000 elite horsemen to quietly leave the west gate of Jeju that night, and traveled all the way, arriving at a small village more than ten miles west of Lijia Road Crossing at dawn. However, when the whole army dismounted and rested, they saw the horses' hooves behind the village sounding like a shower.

Not good! There are ambushes! Zhou Ang and Zhang Kai were startled at the same time, and they were about to shoot their horses to see what was going on, when they saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a cavalry came over like a torrent.

"General Zhou, I'll go to the back to the front, and I'll hand it over to you."

Zhang Kai shouted, and immediately went back with his guards.

Zhou Ang hurriedly gathered his subordinates to set up a formation, and stepped forward with a big axe in his hand, and in less than a moment, he saw two arrows formed by the cavalry on the opposite side, one on the left and one on the right, towards the two ribs of his army formation

Plug in. and saw that the head of the left was carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, it was Guan Sheng, the head of the Seventh Regiment of the Liangshan Cavalry, and several tiger generals on both sides, but Tang Bin, Qin Sheng, and Xuanzan; On the right, the first horse holding an iron spear was Zhou Yunqing, the commander of the first cavalry regiment, and the three horsemen on both sides were Han Shizhong, Su Ding, and Li Ming.

Zhou Ang saw that the enemy on both sides was dangerous, and he couldn't choose, so he approached the one who was carrying the knife, but the deputy general divided his troops to block the right side of the road.

It is said that Guan Sheng knew that this person was Zhou Ang, the deputy head of the forbidden army, and when he went down the mountain, the little official had specially mentioned it, saying that this person had the courage to be unstoppable, and he wanted everyone to meet the best to capture him alive.

In the midst of the chaos, the two horses collided fiercely together in the blink of an eye, and the sound of the sword and axe was roaring when it was handed over, which made the surroundings quiet.

"Good kung fu! Take me another shot and try it! ”

Guan Sheng saw that the other party's strength was really not bad, and he immediately aroused the desire to win, and then he stabbed him in the head. Zhou Ang is naturally not a soft persimmon, and the big axe dances like a tree branch in his hand without any effort. The two tigers will fight fifty or sixty times in an instant amid the sound of killing on all sides in the smoke and dust, but it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

At this time, under the violent strangulation led by Zhou Yunqing and other fierce generals, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers had been defeated and retreated.

Tang Bin has been guarding Guan Sheng's side with his own soldiers, at this time he saw that the two of them were fighting for a long time, but he was worried that the long battle was not conducive to the battle situation, so he saw the opportunity to shoot an arrow at Zhou Ang's mount, Zhou Ang did not have time to react in the fierce battle, and fell to the ground with the war horse for a while, and the onlookers Liangshan sergeant had already been eyeing him, and immediately rushed up to hold him down.

At the same time that the front army of officers and soldiers fell into encirclement, the rear army was also strangled by the second cavalry regiment of Pang Wanchun and the third cavalry regiment of Yang Zhi, when Zhang Kai rushed to the rear army, he happened to meet Pang Wanchun, after the two fought dozens of times, Pang Wanchun saw that he could not win for a while, so he pretended to retreat, Zhang Kai did not know what the plan was, and was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow when chasing and fell off his horse and was captured.

The two main generals were both captured, and the remaining officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit, and after that, they were all dismounted and surrendered, and the 20,000 cavalry who raided the Li Jia Daokou were wiped out.

It is said that Gao Yuqin led tens of thousands of troops, divided into more than 1,000 large and small ships, and set off at Jeju Wharf at midnight. Niu Bangxi led 10,000 people as the front army, Dang Shiying and Han Baoqing each led 10,000 as the left and right wings, and he and Qiu Yue sat in the middle army. Thousands of sails passed by, only to see a dense piece of sails in Liangshanbo, just like a large black mist floating on the water.

At dawn, halfway through the fleet, Niu Bangxi was guarding a big loach boat at the head, and he didn't dare to close his eyes all night, and when he saw that he was about to enter the waters of Liangshan, he was doubly careful.

At this moment, they found that there were several small fishing boats in the channel ahead, and the fishermen had no fear of the surging fleet, and threw their fishing nets high to the surface of the lake.

"Wu Na man, don't you want to die, don't you hurry up and get away!"

A sailor stood at the bow of the ship and shouted at the fisherman.

"Master's own fishing is very important to you, don't want Luo Zha!"

The fisherman didn't know what to do, so he scolded him head-on.

"Straight lady thief, I don't know the hearts of good people, so the master will teach you to go to the bottom of the lake to feed Wang Ba."

When the sailor heard this, he was furious, and did not stop his boat, but only rammed the fishing boat quickly.

But the boat was nimble, and when it was about to collide, he saw that it cleverly stuck to the side of the boat, and then the boatman took out a hammer and drove a hook into the wall of the boat, and then leisurely took out a fire from his bosom and blew it, and then lit a rope-like thing in the boat.

"Bird killing, feed Wang Ba at the bottom of the lake, the master will not accompany you

You've got it. ”

I saw him shout arrogantly, and immediately a fierce man plunged into the lake.

The sailors on the boat, not knowing what the fisherman was doing, turned back to call his companion for a bow and arrow, but saw that the man had already jumped and dived away, and several of them fired a few arrows at the spreading water streaks, but they did not notice the "sizzling" fire in the boat.

It only took a few breaths for the diving fisherman to climb onto a fishing boat in front of him, when a violent explosion immediately erupted from the side of the official boat, and then the bow of the loach boat exploded into debris, and the icy water quickly poured into it.

This loud noise on the lake in the early morning seemed to be a clarion call for attack, and the Liangshan water army lurking everywhere was dispatched one after another.

Gao Yu slept soundly on the Chinese army's loach boat, and the fierce explosion also woke him up, and then he saw Changshi Wang Jin hurriedly come to report, saying that there was an abnormal noise in the former army for some reason. When he finished washing up and climbed the boat tower to watch, he saw countless boats coming towards him on the lake in the distance.

"There are so many warships from Liangshan Caokou!"

Gao Yu's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition instantly rose. However, when he was surprised, he saw several enemy ships stop in front of them sideways, and then strange things poked out from under the deck.

"What's that?"

At a distance of more than 100 zhang, Gao Yu couldn't see what it was, but then he saw a scene that made him tremble.

After a few wisps of white smoke drifted through those ships, several explosions immediately sounded, and then the hulls of some of the ships in front of them shattered like paper. Gao Yu seemed to have been hit in the heart, he was stunned for a moment, and only woke up suddenly after a while, but he shouted desperately:

"Quick! Fast! The flotilla landed on the shore. ”

Gu Haotian and Ling Zhen, Meng Kang, Wei Dingguo, Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others were on the boat among them, after he proposed the idea of artillery that day, Ling Zhen immediately tinkered with it after he went back, he had a lot of various cannon barrels, and the gunpowder was ready-made, so when the ordnance workshop cast the iron ball, it only took three or two days to get the ship's iron cannon out, and today was the first time to take it out for actual combat testing.

"Straight thief, if you can hit the gunpowder shell with the barrel, how nice it would be!"

At this time, Ling Zhen stood on the deck, looked at the official ship in front of him that had been blown out of big holes, and said regretfully.

"Don't be greedy, the rice is to be eaten one bite at a time, look at the boat in front of you, try it with a flowering bomb."

Gu Haotian stared at a big loach ship that came over, and said lightly.

"Swap out the bullets and let these birds who don't know whether they are alive or dead taste the taste."

Ling Zhen looked at the officers and soldiers who were carrying all kinds of weapons on the deck, and commanded coldly.

Then there were a few more cannon shots, and the whistling buckshot fell like hail on the deck, and in an instant there was no one standing there.

"Target, the deck of the second ship, flowering bombs ready!"

As Ling Zhen's order was given again, the deck of the ship was once again emptied. When the follow-up ships saw this, they all scattered and turned to flee.

"Hey, hey! Change to solid bullets and hit the boat gang. ”

Watching the official ship hurriedly turn to the exposed flanks, Ling Zhen was excited like a child.

After another round of shelling, Gu Haotian looked at the already chaotic fleet of officers and soldiers, and ordered the shelling to stop. On the one hand, he was worried that the barrel of the gun that was not yet mature would explode, and at the same time, he also wanted to train the sailors of the battalion and increase some actual combat experience.

Then Gu Hao ordered the people to raise a bright flag on the mast, and the sailors of the battalions, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately pounced on the messy fleet in front of them like sharks.
