Outside Shigou Town, the vast water surface has been covered by black-pressed warships. When Gao Yu was making a draft in his stomach, the sailors of the Liangshan Army had already corresponded to the Jinling Sailors.

At the same time, on the land outside the water, two brightly armored military horses were also facing each other.

Lu Qian didn't look at Song Jun opposite, his eyes were only looking at the water. For a while, the movement of the Liangshan soldiers cutting down trees and carrying stone cannons and stone bullets also disappeared from his ears.

The wind is good, and the weather is really good today. There is almost no wind on the lake, so that the warring sides have no support.

The three heroes of the Ruan family stood on the bow of the red Jiao boat, with a half-cage of 10,000-character turbans, and a white Luo shirt embroidered with a red waist. Not only are they like this, Zhang Shun, Li Jun and the Tong brothers are all dressed like this, and none of them are wearing iron armor.

Ruan Xiao held up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the array of the Jinling Navy Division opposite, and as soon as he put the clairvoyant mirror away in half a ring, as far as his eyesight was concerned, he could really find the flaws in the official and military array.

"My brother once said to us that my husband has the courage to fight." To fight a war is to fight hard. Ruan Xiaoer glanced around at everyone and said, "Today's battle is related to the life and death of my Liangshan. The upper and lower people have to fight to the death. Whoever dares to be cowardly and afraid of death, the machete in my hand will kill him first. ”

The sun shone on everyone, but now everyone didn't feel the slightest warmth.

"My sailor has been favored by the big boss for a long time, and I can't repay it, and I am ashamed every time I ride a step. Today is the time for us to correct our name, and the day to serve the cottage. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while is exactly what it means. Everyone must go to fight to the death to repay kindness. ”

Since he couldn't see a flaw in the array on the other side, he would hit the flaw. Ruan Xiaoer's heart is very hard!

"Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun."

"Yes."

"You two are the vanguard, leading the warships in the front camp and smashing into the enemy's formation. No military order was heard, and no one was allowed to return. ”

Living Yama seemed to be insulted, rolled his eyes, and said, "The second brother underestimated me." I am not a person who cherishes my life. How does Brother Yuhou treat our brothers, who doesn't know about the cottage? I repaid this life for Brother Yu Hou's kindness in the past few years, which is not much. ”

Langli Baitiao said beside him: "Shichiro has said everything I want to say." This life is repaid to the big leader, and it is also joyful. ”

The two patted their chests and said: "This blood, this life, is only for those who are in harmony!" With that, he jumped out of the boat, one went to the Chijiao boat in the middle of the camp, and the other got into a sea falcon boat.

Trumpets sounded and flags flew. Ruan Xiaoer saw that there was already movement in the front camp, and looked around at everyone: "You will also go back to the boat, just wait for the order to sound, and then rush up to fight." ”

This is Ruan Xiaoer's way of coping. If you can't see a flaw, then come hard. If you go straight to the enemy formation at the front, even if you will lose a lot, you can definitely cause the enemy formation to change, so that the main force of the rear army will go up in waves.

Although this method of warfare is simple and rude, simple and rude is also a kind of strength. For water warfare, in the current situation of poor communication, simple and crude can be an effective method.

At least that's what Lu Qian thinks.

At this moment, a drum beat suddenly sounded on the Chijiao boat in the front camp, and at the same time, a blood-colored flag was raised to the mast.

The blood flag is a kind of flag that the Liangshan army has on land and water, and its meaning is also very simple and clear, that is, to fight to the death!

The twenty warships of the front battalion sailed out, and the Liangshan army was originally a plum blossom array, but now it was as if a sharp arrow was stretched out from the front end. The sails were heavy, and the deck was full of figures.

As a technical branch, the size of the Naval Division Battalion is by no means the same as that of the Army. The scale of 500 people was the amount set at the beginning, and with the expansion and filling of the strength of the sailors, the number of men in a battalion had already exceeded 1,000.

Oarsmen, crossbowmen, hand-to-hand combatants, and equipment soldiers who control rudders, bed crossbows, sails, etc. A decent warship could easily take a hundred people away. Five hundred people in one battalion, that's ridiculous.

The Jinling sailor on the opposite side also made corresponding moves, Liu Menglong sat in the current position with his real ability, and when he saw how Liang Shanbo couldn't guess his intentions in such a move, he immediately mobilized the front army to catch up. The war drums of both sides sounded, continuously, and the battle broke out at the first touch!

The front battalion attacked, and one after another the warships picked up. It's like a cavalry horse army approaching the enemy, raising its speed to the peak little by little.

The huge hull peeks out of the boughts of the two compartments, and two rows of long oars protrude out. When fighting, this makes it easier to control the speed and angle of the ship than the sails. Even the ancient Chinese hard sails were easier to maneuver and control. There are spear holes on the left and right, and crossbowmen and armor soldiers have already been in battle.

The drums of war sounded, and the enemy troops approached at a rapid pace.

Ruan Xiaoqi ordered: "Erect the arrow shield!" ”

This is a necessary measure for naval warships, and the presence or absence of a baffle is also a major mark to distinguish regular warships from civilian ships. The left and right baffles, made of solid wood, covered with a layer of iron sheet, and then a layer of raw cowhide on it, erected on both sides of the bulkhead, although the area is not very large, but like the female wall battlements on the city wall, can greatly enhance the protection of crossbow rockets.

That is, in this battle, the warships on both sides are not large, and the height of each other is almost the same, so it is difficult to gain an advantage in the shooting of arrows and crossbows. Otherwise, if the existing small boat of the Liangshan Naval Division encounters the big ship of the Song Army's Naval Division, not to mention the consequences of the collision, but only to say that the enemy is condescending, they can continue to shoot the soldiers of the Liangshan Military Naval Division. It's like shooting down from the top of the city.

Therefore, the current water war, big and small, strong and brittle, is a wise saying.

"Bed crossbow ready!" There are no trebuchets, because the warships in Liangshanbo are all small and medium-sized, and even the relatively large Chijiao ships and sea falcon ships are not equipped with trebuchets.

"Arson bomb ready!" The latter, the bombardiers, are all strong men. This kind of arson bomb is equivalent to an extension of the fire canister, and the inside is full of sulfur and flame nitrate. It is no longer filled with grease and coarse cloth and other materials like the fire pot in the past.

At the beginning, Lin Chong defeated the Lingzhou pursuers, captured a lot of Wei Dingguo's divine fire soldiers, and naturally also captured a few iron gourds, although the number is not much, but it can already be called Liang Shanbo to find out.

Don't forget, there is Fan Rui, a serious Taoist on Liangshanbo, and there is Gongsun Sheng living in Dongxi Village on the edge of Shuibo.

In today's era, there is one Taoist who can be regarded as a half-baked chemist.

How can you not see the mystery in Wei Dingguo's 'gunpowder'?

Sulfur, flame nitre, and five-colored smoke were all imitated. It is poured into a clay pot wrapped in leather cloth rattan, lit and thrown, which is very much like a grenade in later generations. Whether it is arson or smoke, the effect is stronger than that of a fire cup. Because they are quick to attack, and the pot of fire is capable of being extinguished with sand.

At the same time, there were buckets of sand and mud on the ship's plank, which was to prevent rockets and fire canisters on the opposite side. The latter, in particular, contains grease, and once it is thrown into the hull, it cannot be splashed with water, and the sand and thin mud can only be effective.

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know if these were also prepared on the opposite ship, but this was the basic military dogma of the Liangshan Water Division.

Thank you for the tip, thank you.
