Chapter 129: Artillery Fire
Li Jun was a little surprised to see that the four of them were unwilling to accept the canonization of the imperial court and were willing to help themselves. Fei Bao knew that Li Jun must have doubts, and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't know, the four of us and the others are somewhat famous in Taihu Lake, and if you want to be an official, you only need to take refuge in Fang La." ”
"At the beginning, Fang La once sent someone to recruit us and others, with the ability of the four of us, it is more than enough to be a commander. However, none of us are willing to be officials, firstly, we are born in the green forest and are not used to red tape, and secondly, things in the officialdom do not have to be much lighter, and we are still used to living on the rivers and lakes, and we are used to it. ”
"Therefore, being an official is not what we want, I have received my brother's kindness, and I just want to be happy. If my brother needs our help, he will go to the fire in the water, but Brother Zhang Shun has an old relationship with us, and it should be so. ”
Li Jun praised: "Even if this is the case, then it is inconvenient for me to be strong." If I don't die in the future, if my brothers need any help, I, Li Jun, should do my best and never break my word! ”
Fei Bao was overjoyed and said: "With my brother's words, brothers rest assured!" ”
Then, Li Jun stayed in the village and discussed with the four of them, saying that Song Gongming was going to attack Suzhou, Li Jun sighed: "Fang Xiang is unwilling to fight, the city is surrounded by water, there is no way to attack, the boat port is narrow, it is difficult to target the enemy, in this case, there is nothing to do, it is difficult to break the city!" ”
Fei Bao pondered for a moment and said, "Elder brother is relieved to live here for two days, and the younger brother knows that from time to time in Hangzhou, Fang La's cronies will come to come on business, and we can take this opportunity to outwit the city." In addition, I sent a few more fishers to inquire about it, so that I could determine when I would come, and then I could make up my mind. ”
Li Junxi said: "This plan is wonderful! ”
So, Li Jun and the other three stayed in the village for a few days, and Fei Bao called a few fishermen and asked them to go to find out the news, and then they drank with Li Jun and others, so happy.
After Li Jun lived there for three days, he saw the fisherman come back and report: "In Pingwang Town, there are more than a dozen delivery ships, and the yellow flag is planted on the stern, and the flag reads: Undertake the clothes and armor of the palace, and what I saw was solved by Hangzhou." There were only six or seven people on each boat. ”
Li Jun hurriedly said: "Since this opportunity exists, I hope that the brothers will help." ”
Fei Bao nodded and replied, "Let's go immediately." ”
Li Jun said again: "Brother Fei Bao, if one runs away from that boat, it will be a failure." ”
Fei Bao patted his chest and swore an oath: "Brother rest assured, wrap it up on my brother." ”
Then they gathered sixty or seventy fishing boats, one for each of the seven of them, and the rest were fishermen, each with a hidden weapon. Then the people sailed from the small port into the river and scattered again.
At this time, the sky is full of stars, and a bright moon hangs high in the air, like daylight, you can see the boats on the river shaking with the help of the moonlight, and you can see the official ships in front with the help of the light.
The ten official ships, all bay in front of the Jiangdong Dragon King Temple. Fei Bao's boat arrived first, blew a whistle, and sixty or seventy fishing boats came together, each tying up the big boat. The man on the official boat felt something was wrong, and hurriedly got out, and was immediately captured, unable to move, and wanted to call but was covered with his mouth and nose, and fainted directly, and then three or five were tied together.
Those who jumped into the water were also caught up and all of them were charged. Fei Bao ordered everyone to work together to tow the official boat to the depths of Taihu Lake, and when they arrived at Yuliuzhuang, it was already the fourth watch.
Idle people were tied up in a string, and the big stones fell to the ground and drowned in the Taihu Lake. When the two heads were caught and asked, it turned out to be the treasurer under the guard of the Hangzhou Fangla prince Nan'an Wang Fang Tianding, and he was specially ordered to escort 3,000 pairs of newly made iron armor to the three kings of Suzhou to be delivered.
Li Jun asked for his name, asked for a copy of the defense documents, and killed the two treasury officials, and then said: "This matter is very important, I have to go and discuss it with my brother in person." ”
Fei Bao said: "I ordered someone to rock the boat to send my brother ashore!" ”
So, Fei Bao called two fishermen and rocked a fast boat to send Li Jun out. Li Jun instructed Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Fei Bao and others to quietly hide the armored ship in Zhuanghou Harbor so that no one could find out.
Fei Bao replied: "Brother, don't worry, I have my own arrangements for this matter!" ”
Li Jun and the two fishermen drove a clipper boat to the small port, then landed on the shore, and immediately rushed to the camp, and when they saw Song Jiang, they immediately said the matter.
Wu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this: "If this is the case, Suzhou is at your fingertips!" ”
Song Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, so he obeyed Wu Yong's order, and ordered Yu Li Kui to lead 200 players to follow Li Jun back to Taihu Village, and Fei Bao and other four people acted according to the plan and made an appointment to march on the second day.
Li Jun received the military order, took Li Kui and other people, and came directly to the Taihu Lake. They went over first, and then sent a boat to pick up Li Kui and the others, and they all went to Yuliuzhuang.
Li Jun led Li Kui to meet Fei Bao and others, and Fei Bao and others were shocked when they saw Li Kui's appearance. However, as soon as they heard that it was the black whirlwind Li Kui, Fei Bao and the others were also in admiration, so they prepared wine and food to drink and talk with everyone.
On the third day, everyone discussed, and decided that Fei Bao would pretend to be the official of the undressing armor, and Ni Yun would pretend to be the deputy envoy, both of whom would wear the uniforms of the army above, and bring a pair of customs documents, and all the fishermen would pretend to be sailors on the official ship, and more than 200 people including Black Whirlwind would be colonized in the cabin; Bu Qing and Di Cheng escorted the back boat, both with fire-setting equipment, and were about to act, when the fisherman came to report again: "There is a boat on the lake, rocking around there. ”
Li Jun said: "Who is to blame? ”
He hurriedly went to check in person, only to see two people standing on the bow of the boat, and when he looked at it, it was the two people of Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong and Lei Heng.
Li Jun blew a secret signal, and the boat flew to the village, and when it came to the shore, it came ashore, and they all met. Li Jun asked, "Where did you two come from?" What's in the news? ”
Dai Zong replied: "My brother asked Li Kui to come, but in a hurry, he forgot a major event, and specially sent me and Lei Heng to send this 100-gauge gun, which was in the boat. The two of us couldn't catch up on the lake, and we didn't dare to approach here, so my brother asked my brother to go into the city tomorrow morning, and when he got inside, he put these 100 cannons as a number. ”
Li Jun said: "Very good! ”
So he went into the boat, carried the gun cage and the gun carriage, and hid them all in the armor of the ship. Fei Bao and others heard that it was Dai Zong, and set up a banquet for entertainment; Lei Heng brought ten gunners, all of whom were also on board, and all of them were ambushed in the third ship.
On the fourth watch that night, Li Jun led everyone to leave Zhuang and go to Suzhou City, and did not arrive at the city until the fifth watch. The sergeant guarding the gate, seeing his country's flag in the city, hurriedly reported to the general in charge of the gate, but it was Guo Shiguang, the general of the flying leopard, who personally came to the city to ask the junior colonel about the details, received the customs defense documents, and hung them up to the city to see.
Guo Shiguang sent people to the palaces of the three major kings, debated the communication, and sent people to monitor it, and then taught it to enter the city gate. Guo Shiguang waited by the water gate, and when he asked people to get off the boat to see, he was full of iron armor uniforms, so he put them into the city one by one, and let go of ten boats before closing the water gate.
The three kings sent surveillance officers, led five hundred soldiers, and followed them on the shore, and when the ships stopped and were about to come up for inspection, Li Kui and others got out of the cabin, and before the surveillance officers could react, they were hacked to death by the plate axe raised by Li Kui, and a stream of blood gushed out, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
When the 500 soldiers saw that the surveillance officer was killed, they immediately got on the boat and prepared to kill Li Kui, but Li Kui picked up two axes, jumped on the shore, and cut down dozens of people in a row.
All the people in the boat, along with more than 200 players, went ashore and set fires. Lei Heng set up a gun carriage on the shore, moved out the trumpet cannons, and released more than a dozen in a row. The cannon shook the city tower, suffered heavy casualties, and the water gate was also shot down by the cannon, and Song Jiang and others also led a large army into the city.
The three kings were discussing in the palace, and they heard the sound of artillery one after another, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies. The guards of the gates were also frightened by the sound of artillery, and hurriedly led their troops to the city to protect the appearance.
At the same time, the Song army had already entered the city, and the soldiers who flew to the newspaper were also killed by cold arrows. In the city of Suzhou, the voices of people were boiling, and I don't know how many Song troops entered the city.
Black Whirlwind Li Kui leads two players on a rampage through the city, chasing down the Suzhou soldiers. Li Jun, Dai Zong and Fei Bao supported Lei Heng and only cared about firing guns. Song Jiang has transferred the Third Route Army to take the city, the Song soldiers entered the city, and the Suzhou army has already broken and escaped.
The three kings hurriedly put on their horses, led five or seven hundred ironclad troops, and killed them to the south gate, wanting to take advantage of the situation and flee, not wanting to bump into the black whirlwind Li Kui and others, killing the ironclad army and scattering in all directions; In the alley, the flower monk Lu Zhishen was killed, and he picked up the iron Zen staff to beat the future.
Fang Xiang couldn't stand it, jumped on the horse alone, and then returned home. At this time, another Yang Zhi appeared under the Wuque Bridge, caught up with a knife, cut off the horse's feet, Fang Xiang fell to the ground, and was cut by Yang Zhi again, and directly took the head.
Since then, the Song army has won a complete victory, and the city of Suzhou has also fallen into the hands of the Song army, and Fang La has lost another city.
