Chapter 9: The Battle of Liangshan (5)
Zhu Tong was dragged into the water, and he hurriedly jumped with his hands and feet, so that he could break free from the pull of others. He was desperately pedaling in the water, and as soon as he poked his head out of the water, he hurriedly shouted: "Wu Yong and I are old acquaintances, and Wu Yong and I are old acquaintances!" ”
Hearing Zhu Tong's shout and seeing that Zhu Tong was about to be pulled into the water again, Li Jun on the boat hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhang Shun, let people go quickly, he is an acquaintance of Brother Wu Yong!" ”
Hearing Li Jun's shout, Zhang Shun hugged Zhu Tong with both hands and threw him onto the boat.
As soon as Zhu Tong was thrown on the boat, he hurriedly shouted: "Good man, my brother Lei Heng is also Wu Yong's old acquaintance, please let him live!" ”
Li Jun nodded and shouted loudly: "Qilang, quickly save people, it's my brother's old acquaintance!" ”
Zhang Shun was afraid that Ruan Xiaoqi would not hear him in the water, so he dived into the water, found Ruan Xiaoqi, and motioned for him to take the person to the surface.
Ruan Xiaoqi, the living king of Hell saw it, and then the white-eyed Lei Heng quickly swam to the surface.
Zhang Shun grabbed the edge of the boat with both hands, and with a strong support, the whole person turned over on the boat.
He stood on the armor of the boat, holding Lei Heng with both hands, Ruan Xiaoqi held it down, and the two of them worked together to send the seven feet and five inches of Lei Heng to the boat.
Zhu Tong looked at Lei Heng's face and his eyes turned white, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak smoothly: "He, he ......"
After Zhang Shun pulled the person ashore, he said calmly: "It's okay, you can't die." ”
Zhang Shun knelt on one knee and bent the other leg, placing Lei Heng's abdomen very horizontally on the bent thigh, and his head down.
Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi pressed Lei Heng's back.
After only two strokes, the water in Lei Heng's mouth, nose, lungs, and stomach began to pour out.
As the water was poured out little by little, Lei Heng suddenly spit out the water in a big gulp, and then coughed incessantly.
Lei Heng came to his senses, he was frightened, and the whole person was still in a blank state.
Seeing that Lei Heng woke up, Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
rescued Lei Heng, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun had no interest in dealing with them anymore, so they handed them over to Li Jun to deal with, and they continued to hunt down and kill those officers and soldiers.
Qin Ming, who was on the shore, saw that the officers and soldiers were being chased and killed by the Liangshan Water Division, and hurriedly asked the archers to shoot at the water thieves, hoping to help.
But it was too far from the shore, and there was no way to get the bow and arrows, and all the arrows shot were in the water and floated.
Seeing that the bows and arrows were useless, and now there were no ships in hand to send people up to meet those officers and soldiers.
Qin Ming could only jump on the shore in a hurry, but he was helpless.
……
Liang Shanshui Master was red-eyed, not afraid of death, swords and axes flew wildly, and constantly some officers and soldiers were cut down and fell into the water, and after a few convulsions, they sank to the bottom of the water, making food for turtles.
The water is dyed bright red, and it makes people scary to look at.
Under the fierce attack of the Liangshan Water Division, the officers and soldiers who were still alive were completely frightened and cowered.
They dropped their weapons, raised their hands in the air, and shouted: "I surrender!" Don't kill me. I surrendered, don't kill me......"
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were afraid of surrendering, Ruan Xiaoer shouted happily: "Stop!" We've won! ”
With the surrender of the officers and soldiers, the battle also ended.
The Liangshan Water Division had 800 sailors and more than 100 small boats to participate in the battle, and defeated the officers and soldiers at the cost of losing 14 ships and 39 casualties.
There were about 1,200 officers and sailors, and more than 200 fishing boats participated in the war.
In the end, more than 80 fishing boats were scuttled and sunk to the bottom, and 1,200 officers and soldiers, except for a few officers and soldiers, escaped ashore, and the others either sank to the bottom of the water as water ghosts, or were captured by Liang Shanshui.
Ruan Xiaoer left more than 20 boats to continue patrolling, and he took the loot and sailed towards the water village.
The Liangshan Shui Division took away all the men and ships, captured all the officers and soldiers who were alive, and happily drove the ship away.
Seeing the destruction of the entire army of the temporarily patchwork sailors, Qin Ming was stunned for a long time and was speechless for a long time. hated for a long time, so he had no choice but to lead the men and horses back to the barracks.
Hear that the sailor has returned victorious!
Although the sailor defeated the sailor temporarily formed by Qin Ming, Shi Jin knew that the sailor needed at this time was also to appease the good people, telling them that no matter how many officers and soldiers came, as long as there was a sailor, we could rest easy, not be afraid, and do our own thing with peace of mind.
Shi Jin happily took Zhu Wu and a few people to the Shuishi camp in person.
At this time, Li Jun also had eyes and loudly reported the merits of the sailor to Shi Jin, and heard that Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi killed more than 200 people, captured more than 100 people alive, and captured more than 30 ships.
Zhang Heng led his troops to kill more than 100 people and captured more than 80 people alive.
Zhang Shun led the water ghosts to chisel through more than 70 ships of officers and soldiers, and those boats that sank to the bottom of the water can still be used as long as they are fished up and repaired. , at least it can be used as a fishing boat.
Although Li Jun did not fight on the front line, he led his subordinates to intercept the escape of the officers and soldiers, creating conditions for the naval division to completely annihilate the officers and soldiers of the naval division, not to mention that he was able to capture more than 400 officers and soldiers alive and capture more than 50 ships.
Shi Jin heard Lian say: "Okay! Good! Good! Several naval leaders really did not disappoint, and they trained well! Hahaha, with such a powerful sailor, what am I afraid of Liangshan, and how can the imperial court help us! ”
Shi Jin ordered people to take all the captives to Houzhai under house arrest, and then deal with these captives after defeating Qin Ming completely.
Most of these officers and men who were captured alive were water-savvy, and it was impossible to put these officers and men who were captured alive back.
Shi Jin wants to put them all into the water division, as for the officers and soldiers are willing? It's okay, if you don't want to join, just go to coolie!
Anyway, Shi Jin is very democratic, and you can choose.
Is it submission? Or do you want to do coolies?
If you were to work as a coolie, you would have to work all day and night.
If you are obedient, you will still have monthly money.
As long as they are not fools, I believe they all agree to be obedient.
After commending several leaders, Shi Jin said, "Everyone, this battle has completely played the prestige of our Liangshan Water Master. People don't dare to despise me Liangshan anymore. However, the officers and soldiers have not yet been exterminated. Everyone must guard against arrogance and arrogance until the officers and soldiers are completely eradicated. I'll celebrate with you again! ”
Ruan Xiaoer, Li Jun, and Zhang Heng all bowed their hands and said, "Yes, big brother!" ”
Qin Ming returned to the camp and gathered several of his subordinates to discuss the military situation, hoping to find a way to conquer Liangshan.
But these subordinates are incompetent, where to think of a good solution.
Qin Ming's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is a good hand if he charges into battle. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is much worse, at most he is a general, not a handsome talent.
Faced with such a situation, he was completely helpless!
I want to retire!
However, of the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers before the expedition, there are now less than 7,000 men and horses left. After losing troops and losing generals, how to face the accountability of the civil officials headed by Murong Zhizhou after going back.
I want to join the army.
But if there is no strong naval army to defeat the Liangshan Water Division, how can they cross the water and attack the cottage?
The situation of being unable to advance or retreat made him not know how to face it at all.
Qin Ming could only ask people to collect ships around again.
Last time, I basically forcibly looted all the surrounding ships, and there are still boats.
Even if there were boats, the fishermen drove into the 800 miles of water in Liangshan.
Hmph, since the imperial court doesn't give me vitality, I'm going to recruit all the boats I rely on for my fishing. Lao Tzu went to take refuge in the gang of heroes in Liangshan.
They don't rob us of what we people have.
With less than a few ships under his command, Qin Ming wasted his time in vain.
Liangshan Shuibo occupies 800 li, and the water area is very vast.
Because of this, the Liangshan Water Division needed to send twenty or thirty boats to patrol back and forth on the water throughout the day to ensure that the officers and men would not smuggle into Shangliang Mountain.
Shi Jin did not dare to transfer all the infantry away, and supervised the construction of a pass in the middle of the mountain, leaving 800 sword soldiers to garrison, because he was afraid that scattered officers and soldiers would cross the water and touch the mountain.
Although Liangshan has to pay attention to this water, it is very energy-consuming. However, for the officers and men who lacked ships and sailors, it was even more impossible to encircle and control this body of water.
At noon on 20 April, three Liangshan soldiers sailed to Liangshan in small boats from a corner north of Shuibo.
They were soon spotted by the Yangsan patrol boat and taken up the mountain.
After inspecting the order and seeing the letter they carried, Shi Jin was overjoyed.
