Chapter 343: Going ashore opened Song Jiang's eyes
Cao Zheng reacted this time, and said busily: "My father has died at home, and no one has sacrificed for many years, so I feel really uncomfortable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”
Although Lin Chong is a little indecisive, he is a person of affection and righteousness, where can he see betrayal, the spear swept again, and beat this Cao Zheng to scream again and again, flipping over and over, and asked: "Did you just come back from Liangshan?" Did you go to report with this Liangshan thief? ”
"Master, wronged, where would the apprentice do such a thing, Master is wronged... Where does Cao Zheng dare to admit it, if he recognizes this matter, where will there be a life.
Lin Chong didn't say a word, put away the spear, stepped forward and reached out to lift Cao Zheng, and went straight to the water's edge. Yang Zhi was taken aback when he heard Lin Chong's words, and hurriedly followed, and even picked up the torch himself to light it in front of his head.
Not long after, they found a sampan at the water's edge, and the sampan had just left the water's surface and was in the mud and sand at the water's edge.
Although the small sampan is not big, it is not light, Cao Zheng put the sampan into the water along the downhill slope, but when he came back, where could he pull the sampan uphill to the shore alone, so he had to abandon the sampan on the mud and sand at the water's edge.
Lin Chong pointed to the sampan not far away, and was about to open his mouth to ask.
But Cao Zheng spoke faster, and hurriedly said: "Master, I haven't come here, and this boat has nothing to do with me." ”
Lin Chong stopped speaking, reached out and took the torch in Yang Zhi's hand, walked a few steps forward, stretched out his leg to hold Cao Zheng's back, and took off one of Cao Zheng's shoes. And he went to the water's edge.
Cao Zheng was shocked and shouted, "Master, you have been wronged... ”
In the mud and sand by the water, the footprints are scattered, Lin Chong compared the size a little, and saw the texture of the sole, in the moist soil by the river, the concave and convex threads of the sole can be compared, and he was even more sure in his heart, and then turned back, his face was hideous.
Cao Zheng slowly got up, burst into tears, and only said: "Wronged... ”
"Wronged? The place where the boats are put here is mostly ranger patrols, how many people can avoid it? I, Lin Chong, am famous, and I have fallen into such an unscrupulous person as you, I will not kill you today, so how can I face your brothers and fathers. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Zheng knew that it was not good, and Lin Chong, who was getting closer and closer, suddenly turned his head and ran.
In this run, Yang Zhi reacted the fastest, and turned his head to chase.
Cao Zheng has one bare foot and one shoe, and he can't balance when he runs, where can he run past Yang Zhi. A few steps away, he was knocked to the ground by Yang Zhilao's punch.
Lin Chong saw Cao Zheng, who was fleeing, and his heart was furious, and when he turned to his head, the spear was no longer a sweep, only a thrust.
As soon as the day dawned, the drums rumbled, and Zheng Zhi only ordered to bury the pot and make rice, and then set out for the battle. Although many generals were stunned, they were also orderly, and it was proper to prepare.
On top of Liangshan, Song Jiang also got up early and stood on the platform on the mountain, with Juyi Hall behind him. Later, it is natural to discuss matters in this hall. What is being discussed is this military deployment, Zheng Zhi will come to fight tomorrow, and all the deployments must be properly arranged.
Song Jiang already knew that Zheng Zhi had more than a dozen ships, which could carry two or three thousand people ashore at a time. The sailors under Zhang Shun and the Ruan brothers in Jiangzhou Langli should also prepare early, and they will definitely sink this Zheng Zhi into the mud and sand to feed the fish.
Hua Rong was the first to arrive in front of the Juyi Hall, walked towards Song Jiang, and said, "Brother Gongming, if you defeat Zheng Zhi this time, you will really be free in the future." ”
Song Jiang smiled when he heard this, but he raised his hand and waved it a few times, and said: "Defeated a Zheng Zhi, as well as Zhang Zhi and Li Zhi, and now that this Zheng Zhi has been defeated, you and I should go to Tokyo together, you and I are just doing the right thing for the sky, and I can't see these dog officials bullying the good, regardless of the life and death of the people, and searching the people's fat and people's ointment to fatten themselves." The rebellion was not our will, it was really forced to be helpless, and after this victory, it was time to find a way out in Tokyo. ”
Song Jiang said that he was looking for a way in Tokyo, and Hua Rong naturally understood what to do to find a way. only replied: "But according to my brother's orders, as long as the Tokyo officials can still accept us, it doesn't hurt to recruit An." ”
Song Jiang wanted Hua Rong's words, and said with a smile: "If you really recruit An, Hua Rong's brothers should also have a few officials." ”
Hua Rong didn't think much about it, but said: "Before Zhao'an, we must end Brother Chao's hatred first, otherwise there will be many constraints after Zhao'an, and many brothers will be unconvinced." ”
Song Jiang only thought of this matter of Zengtou City at this time, and said busily: "This is natural, Brother Chao's hatred must be repaid." ”
But at this time, Hua Rong suddenly saw many ships on the water in the distance, and there were many ships faintly, and after a few more glances, there were really many ships, only a dozen or so.
"Brother, look, is the official army coming?" Hua Rong pointed to the water in the distance and shouted.
Song Jiang hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was clearly visible on the surface of the water, fifteen or sixteen strange-shaped ships, these ships did not even have masts and cabins, Song Jiang was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and call Zhang Shun and the Ruan family brothers over, that Cao Zheng last night must be Zheng Zhi's strategy, and I will wait for the plan!" ”
Hua Rong hurriedly ran down the mountain, and many minions around Song Jiang also ran around the village.
Song Jiang watched from afar as the boats on the water were getting closer and closer, and he could slowly see the tall horses closely arranged on the deck. was even more shocked in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Cao Zheng misunderstood me, Zheng Zhi is really cunning." ”
In front of the Juyi Hall, several big drums were also beaten loudly.
Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi rushed over, and Song Jiang didn't have time to say more, so he only said: "Quickly take people into the water, you must not let the officers and soldiers go ashore." ”
The four of them rushed down, and in the small water village on the shore, two or three hundred men stood shirtless, with hammers and chisels in their hands and a reed pipe in their mouths. Many men followed Zhang Shunruan's four mermaids into the water and swam into the water.
When the big and small leaders gathered, Song Jiang gave a few simple commands, and also came down the mountain, a large open area by the water, and the camp wall was only two or three hundred steps away from the water's edge. There are also large areas of flat land within the wall, all of which are places for people to live.
The main settlements of Liangshan are all on the flat land within the wall, and now they are full, with tens of thousands of residents and street shops. Behind is Liangshan, and behind Liangshan is the back cottage wall.
Now this Liangshan is like a small city, facing the vast water.
Many leaders led their men and horses to the wall, and Song Jiang also came to the wall in person, looking at the ships getting closer and closer in the distance, and constantly looking for his sailors on the water.
Song Jiang is naturally extremely confident in these sailors under his command, all of them are dragons in the water, especially the white stripes Zhang Shun and Sanruan brothers in the waves, even the dragons in the water are not as good as these people's skills.
The man who dived into the water, Song Jiang naturally couldn't find it, no matter how confident Song Jiang was, he still couldn't relieve much tension, although he didn't think he would lose before, it was really a battle of life and death at this time.
Below deck, dozens of boatmen were desperately rocking long wooden oars, and the ships were also moving fast.
Zheng Zhi stood at the end of the deck, ordered the left and right sides to concentrate all the bed crossbows on the bow of the ship, and asked everyone to draw their bows and arrows, ready to fire at any time.
This flat-bottomed boat is good, it can be inserted all the way to the shore, so that the horses can go directly to the shore, if it is a point-bottomed boat, it can only be parked on the surface of the water some distance from the shore.
Liangshan is in front of you, and the Liangshan in front of you at this time is completely different from the mountain behind you. It was Zheng Zhi's horse Pingchuan, and the soldiers could gallop left and right when they got on the horses.
Even if you enter the wall, you can beat the horse and kill it. Zheng Zhi has to spend time, effort and money to build a ship, that is, he doesn't want to go to the back mountain to attack, and the foot soldiers fight, although the difference between the elite level and the equipment determines that the winning rate will be very high, but it will also lose a lot, after all, it is close hand-to-hand combat.
This kind of field where cavalry can play can ensure the safety of soldiers to the greatest extent. Obviously, the lives of the soldiers under his command are more important than money and food.
Zheng Zhi's eyes looked ahead, the waterfront was not far away, and he saw that there was no one guarding the shore, and the soldiers of Liangshan were all gathered on the wall.
Zheng Zhi shouted: "Speed, speed up, everyone help rock the oars!" ”
In fact, Zheng Zhi's order was already redundant, and the soldiers at the lower level had already helped the boatmen start rocking the oars, and the speed of the boat was getting faster and faster. More than a dozen ships rushed straight to the shore at the foot of Liangshan.
Although Zheng Zhi knew in his heart that there would be many good players in the water, he stood on the bow of the boat and found no trace. I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
Zheng Zhi also has knowledge in his heart for diving masters, not to mention the military in later generations, only the people, there are also many people on the seaside, people who go into the water to catch fish, can dive for more than ten meters at the bottom of the sea for several minutes.
Now in this Great Song Dynasty, such a person will obviously not be without, if someone can dive a few meters underwater, the weapon in Zheng Zhi's hand will not be able to produce any deterrence.
The land was not far away, but at a distance of three or four hundred paces, a military man rushed up from the bottom of the boat, ran to Zheng Zhi and said, "Xianggong, there are many noises from the bottom of the boat, and someone is digging the boat under the water. ”
Zheng Zhi nodded, with a smile on his face, the bottom of the ship was wrapped in a layer of iron sheets, it was not easy for manpower to chisel through, Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and shouted: "Pass the order, speed up again, hurry up!" ”
Ships are powered by manpower. The military man bowed his hand and went down to the ship, the second floor of the ship was full of the sound of the horn of struggle, the rhythm was compact and consistent, the boatmen and the soldiers worked hard with each other, and everyone was sweating profusely. More than ten miles of water is really hard.
The soldier gave the order and went down the next floor, but there was no one at the bottom, only a few men with their ears on the floor, listening to the movement under the boat.
After a while, there was finally no ding-dong sound under the boat. The soldier struggled to the top of the deck again, and looked behind the ship, and dozens of paces away, many black human heads appeared.
The man was overjoyed and shouted, "Shoot back!" ”
Immediately, many soldiers also found the human head emerging from behind the ship, and opened their bows and shot them.
The surface of the water was immediately dyed a lot of bright red, but there was no human head to be seen. Obviously, these dragons in the water came up and changed their breath and dived again. However, there were a few unlucky ones who were shot by arrows.
Zheng Zhi glanced at the back deck, saw a lot of bright red that was slowly fading, and said to himself: "The donkey skills are exhausted, and going ashore today will open Song Jiang's eyes." ”
