Chapter 60: Sniping at the Liangshan Water Army

The riverbank was crowded with people, flags were all over the sky, and a column of troops dressed in iron armor and at the height of the army slowly appeared on the right side of the boulder, and began to line up along the sandy beach by the river. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the front of the army, Li Mu, dressed in dark armor and with a solemn face, stood in front of him on a majestic warhorse, and several Sima lieutenants followed closely behind him, silently looking at the Liangshan army that was moving away on the river.

Li Mujun's appearance immediately attracted the attention of Xue Ju, Liu Tang and others, and a thick color of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the army that appeared on the bank of the river with long spears and long spears.

The reluctance shown by this old guy to integrate into the Yangwu Army before was all fake, this Wang Meng defected so quickly as soon as he arrived, if it weren't for his help, how could the garrison under his command be defeated so quickly, and Zhongba County was very likely to fall into his hands.

Now, his months of hard work have all been in vain.

"Li Mu, I Xue has written down today's events, and there will be a good reward in the future!"

Xue Ju, who was unwilling, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Mulang at the front of the team.

"Warring States famous general Li Mu!"

Bai Sheng, Liu Tang and the others, who were on the same boat as Xue Ju and the others, also looked at Li Mu who was not far away with solemn faces.

Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, has made great achievements in his life, and his reputation is so great that even reckless heroes such as Liu Tang and Bai Sheng have heard of his name.

Bai Sheng's heart was even heavier, he had seen the garrison camp collapse under Li Mujun's attack from a distance, and it was impossible to form an effective counterattack, and the garrison camp carefully managed by Xue Ju's father and son could not be compared with Li Mujun at all.

Li Mu will become the biggest obstacle to the Liangshan army's plot against Zhongba County.

"General, do you want to request support from the North Battalion of the Water Division?"

Du Yuan, the deputy general beside Li Mu, heard a hint of anger on his face, and turned to ask him for his life, and several other Sima and military candidates on the side were also furious.

It has been nearly a year since Li Mujun was established in Zhongba County, and during this period, all the soldiers in the army have long regarded him as a figure like a god of war, how can they tolerate Xue Ju provoking their idols like this.

"No need, they only have people who will deal with it, let's go back to Zhongba City!"

Li Mu was unmoved, quietly stared at the fleet on the river for a while, and then waved his hand.

"Already arranged?"

When Du Yuan and the others heard this, their expressions moved, and the anger in their hearts couldn't help but subside, and there was a realization in their eyes.

From Li Mu's words, they could hear that Xue Ju's movements had probably fallen into the calculations of the newly arrived Zhongba County Commander Wang Meng.

"Xue, thank you for saving your life!"

After taking advantage of a little bit verbally, seeing that Li Mujun had stopped on the shore, Xue Ju couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted solemnly to Liu Tang, Bai Sheng and the others who were on the boat, and looked at Bai Sheng and Jin Hong, with a trace of unnatural color in his eyes.

Before, Bai Sheng and Jin Hong were both soldiers under his command, but now that he suddenly saw that Bai Sheng had become the fourth commander of the Liangshan Army, and Jin Hong had also joined the Liangshan Army, Xue Ju's heart was naturally a little awkward.

It seems that this Liangshan army did not have any kindness to him before, and actually sent a commander to lurk under his command, and quietly pulled away another of his soldiers. I couldn't help but be a little wary of Liang Shanjun in my heart.

"County Lieutenant Xue is polite, please get up quickly!"

Seeing this, Liu Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Ju and said politely, for Xue Ju's father and son, who were stronger than himself, they were as arrogant as Liu Tang and did not dare to be presumptuous.

"My Liangshan Army has always been the most heroic hero, like a noble father and son, how can we see death and not save it, this time I came to invite two of them to join my Liangshan Army and conspire together!"

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two, and said excitedly, the addition of these two people is a big help to Liang Shanjun.

As Chao Gai's reputation spread, there were not a few heroes who came to join them. However, most of these people are from reckless backgrounds and have no talent, let alone know how to train soldiers, and there is no one who knows how to train soldiers, and the entire army of the Liangshan Army is also notoriously scattered, and there is no formation at all.

This is also the real reason why Chao Gai and useless are willing to take such a big risk and let Liu Tang rescue the two fathers and sons, Xue Ju and his son are both fierce generals who fought on the battlefield, and their ability to lead troops on the battlefield is far better than them, and the addition of the two is like a tiger for the Liangshan Army that lacks a commander to lead the troops

"The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, my Xue father and son will swear to serve their lives!"

Hearing this, Xue Ju bowed solemnly again and announced his position.

"Hahaha, good!"

Liu Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed loudly.

While the group was talking, the fleet slowly headed towards Xiaxi Town, a port in Yangshi County, Jinzhou.

After more than an hour of sailing, a huge fleet of hundreds of ships came to the Red Tsui Bay, which was almost at a 90-degree angle.

This inlet, which is hundreds of meters wide and 2 kilometers long, is the only way from Zhongba Island to Xiaxi Town, because of the large drop in the river surface, and it is at a sharp bend, and the water flow is turbulent. Crossing Hung Tsui Bay, you can see a huge water village not far away, and you can clearly see it.

There is exactly the purpose of Liu Tang and his entourage, the port of Xiaxi Town.

Xiaxi Town is located in the northwest of Yangshi County, Jinzhou, with a population of more than 20,000, adjacent to the Yangtze River and more than 30 kilometers away from Zhongba Island.

"Whoa~"

In the rapid sound of breaking water, a Liangshan military sentry ship in front of the company was moving rapidly on the river, and it had already separated from the rear of the large army hundreds of meters away.

Passing through the corner of Hung Tsui Bay, the excitement on the faces of several Liangshan Army sailors on the ship froze.

I saw that on the river in front of me, a dense black shadow spread all over the lake, and when I looked closely, I was shocked to find that these black shadows were actually huge warships.

On the bow of the ship, large flags engraved with the word Yang Wu were waving in the wind, and the entire group of enemy ships was only 200 meters away from them.

"Enemy attack! Hurry back! ”

Looking at this huge group of ships, the sailor soldier on the bow dressed as the small leader of the Liangshan Army hurriedly panicked and ordered to the stunned subordinate beside him.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The others also reacted immediately, and hurriedly prepared to turn the bow of the boat.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

However, it was a pity that it was too late at this time, and the distance of two hundred meters was within the launch range of the warship catapult, and several boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms had already roared with a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and a few of them landed on the river not far from the ship, setting off huge waves.

One of them hit the boat directly, and the hull of the boat was instantly torn apart with a loud bang, turning into countless wooden blocks floating on the river, and several soldiers on the boat were all killed on the spot.

The huge fleet that appeared at the corner of Hongzui Bay was the North Battalion of the Naval Division that had gone to Qilin County to support Sima Yu before, and the leading general Hao Ran was Yu Dayou, the captain of the North Battalion of the Naval Division.

This famous sailor commander has secretly led his troops back to Zhongba County at some point, and led his army to ambush here.

However, after continuous battles, the North Battalion of the Navy Division also lost a lot of manpower, and this time there were only 100 warships and 3,000 sailors who followed Yu Dayou to ambush the Liangshan Water Army.

"My lord, this is the enemy's sentry ship, and the follow-up large force has entered the corner!"

Just here, the sentry ship of the Liangshan Army had just been eliminated, and on the edge of the cliff at the corner of Hongzui Bay, a standard-bearer of the North Battalion of the Navy Division stood on the top of the cliff and began to wave the flag to them, and the main ship below reported to the main general Yu Dayou.

"Command the whole army, prepare for war!"

Yu Dayou's expression remained unchanged, and he ordered calmly.

"Yes!"

As soon as the military order was given, the sailors on hundreds of warships quickly took action, and long-range strike equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows completed their preparations for firing.

At this time, the large force in the rear had also reached the corner, and on a warship at the front of the fleet, a man in a short-sleeved cloth shirt stood in the bow of the boat, and his expression moved slightly when he heard the loud noise coming from the river, and his face showed a hint of surprise.

This man has a pimple and a strange face, delicate eyes and prominent eyes, a long and short pale yellow beard on the cheeks, and black spots on his body.

In addition to the 1,000 infantry troops led by Liu Tang, there were also 2,000 sailors led by Ruan Xiaoqi.

Although he was suspicious in his heart, Ruan Xiaoqi also took it too seriously, after all, this was already the base of the Liangshan Army, and no one would have thought that they would be attacked here.

"Not good!"

Soon, the vanguard of the fleet slowly sailed around the corner, and the bow of the ship had just crossed the corner, Ruan Xiaoqi's expression changed greatly, and he looked at the huge fleet on the opposite side with a gloomy face.

"Attack!"

As soon as the fleet of the Liangshan Army and the Navy was headed, Yu Dayou decisively ordered.

"Huhuhu~"

"Bang bang bang!"

Huge throwing stones smashed intensively into the Liangshan naval fleet around the corner with a whistling sound, and the Liangshan military warships, all of which were converted from medium-sized merchant ships and fishing boats, could not withstand the attack of boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms, and dozens of ships that had just emerged were smashed in the blink of an eye.

"Ahh

"Help!"

"There's an enemy attack!"

A large number of soldiers of the Liangshan Army who were suddenly attacked were killed under the stones, and the remnants were also frightened, floating on the river one by one, screaming for help, and Ruan Xiaoqi's warship was not spared.

"Beat the drums, strike!"

Seeing that the first wave of sudden attacks had achieved such results, Yu Dayou's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he resolutely ordered.

"Knock knock~"

"Whoa~"

The drums of war sounded, and under the command of the standard-bearer, dozens of warships in the front row quickly left the battle and went to the corner of Hongzui Bay.

"Oh no, the three commanders, our army was attacked by the enemy, the battleship led by Commander Nguyen was destroyed, its whereabouts are unknown, and the front army suffered heavy losses!"

The other warships of the Liangshan Water Army that followed quickly crossed the corner, and seeing the tragic situation of the front army on the river, a messenger quickly reported to Liu Tang and the others.

"Yangwu Army Sailor!"

Crossing the front army in front, Liu Tang's gaze shifted to the huge Beiying fleet of the Naval Division, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth.

He didn't understand how the North Battalion of the Water Division had lurked here without their sight, and the fact that the North Camp of the Water Division had appeared so blatantly here meant that the Navy Army Base in Xiaxi Town had probably been captured.

The situation at this time can be said to be extremely unfavorable for them!

Without the command of Ruan Xiaoqi, the commander of the naval division, the naval fleet in front was even more chaotic, and in the face of the surging naval division, the northern battalion of the naval division could not make the slightest effective counterattack, and was quickly dispersed.

Dozens of Beiying warships of the Navy Division did not stop, and continued to kill the entire Liangshan Army fleet after breaking up the front army.

"Three Commanders, now that we are in the downstream, it is too late to escape, hurry up and give the order to disperse and break through, so that there may be a glimmer of life!"

Xue Ju and the others, who also heard the news, were also shocked, looking at the Liangshan army and navy who had no power to fight back, Xue Ju immediately admonished Liu Tang.

The water flow of the entire Yangtze River is from west to east, and they are just downstream, and the corners are not conducive to steering operations, and it is too late to escape.

The Hongzui Bay is in the shape of a flare mouth, the corner is only a few hundred meters wide, the more you go to the west upstream, the wider the river becomes, and the place where the North Camp of the Navy Division is located is already several kilometers wide, and the hundreds of warships of the North Camp of the Navy Division cannot be completely covered at all.

Scattered breakouts are their only hope of survival.

"Okay, herald, disperse and break through!"

Liu Tang reacted when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Ju, and then ordered.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he saw the situation on the battlefield so quickly.

Soon, the remaining Liangshan army quickly began to disperse along both sides of the river bank and began to break forward.
