Chapter 5 Water Village (3)
Several hundred warriors covered in fire pushed open the window and jumped into the river from the second floor, and when people fell into the water, the fire was extinguished by the water. The nearby Sergeants of the Hundred Battles Army hurriedly jumped into the water and pulled up their comrades who had fallen into the water earlier.
Meng Ping strode onto the second floor, the floor along the way was stained red with blood, and the viscous blood made people have no place to stay, such a floor slab, even if there was a fire to burn, it couldn't burn. By this time, the entire water village had been painted with the blood of the five hundred Liang army, and it was wet.
Meng Ping helped He Xiaofu up, his chest and abdomen were already red, and while bandaging him with his own hands, Meng Ping glanced at the floor and couldn't help scolding: "You kid is really dead, use your own blood as water to extinguish the fire, this kind of thing is up to you!" ”
He Xiaofu's face was pale, and he was still smirking, letting Meng Ping bandage his wounds, and he said with his head disturbed: "You can't fall into the majesty of the military marshal!" Actually, I didn't do anything, but the brothers who followed after me were all on fire, and they were all right after jumping from the window, right? ”
"It's all saved." After bandaging, seeing that He Xiaofu was still smirking, Meng Ping slapped him on the helmet, "Straight lady thief!" ”
"General Meng, you have arrested the commander of the Liang army, do you want to bring it over for interrogation?" A sergeant came to give a report.
Meng Ping thought for a while and said, "Bring it over, and ask Commander Wu to come over too." ”
Turning around and saying to He Xiaofu, "If you can't die, get me up to eat", Meng Ping walked out of the building and arranged a large army on the road: "Concentrate on the corpses, don't throw them into the river, the corpses floating in the river are fished up, otherwise it will not be good to be seen by Liang Jun tomorrow, the bloodstains outside the water village will be cleaned up immediately, and this must be done before dawn." ”
When he saw the commander of Liang Jun, Meng Ping was a little surprised, the other party was too old, his beard was already gray, and he was held by the neck of Bai Zhan* and knelt in front of the building. When the old man saw Meng Ping, he looked hateful.
When Wu Changjian arrived, he saw Meng Ping sitting on the stairs in front of the building, "General Meng, what did you call me for?" ”
Meng Ping motioned for Wu Changjian to come over and sit together. After Wu Changjian sat down, he looked at the commander of the Liang army and said calmly: "Commander Wu, your military intelligence department sometimes catches certain characters of the enemy army, what news needs to be extracted from the other party's mouth, and the other party refuses to cooperate, what do you usually do?" ”
Wu Changjian's gaze fell on the commander of the Liang army, and he quickly understood what Meng Ping meant, and responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter what we do, and the specific measures are related to the internal secrets of the Military Intelligence Department, and it is not easy to spread them." However, I can assure General Meng that as long as we want to know something, we will definitely know. ”
"Good." Meng Ping stood up and looked at Wu Changjian seriously, "What is the situation with the underwater chains, fences and other settings controlled by Shuizhai, when will Liang Jun start crossing the river tomorrow, what is the plan to cross the river, and how to contact Shuizhai...... Is the MIA interested in knowing these things? ”
Wu Changjian said with a smile: "These things, the Military Intelligence Department wants to know now." ”
Meng Ping nodded and pointed to the kneeling commander of the Liang army, "Then this commander of the Liang army will be handed over to Commander Wu, I hope that after the military intelligence department asks about these news, he will not hesitate to share it with me." ”
"As you wish." Wu Changjian got up.
Commander Liang Jun's face turned pale, and he roared and scolded: "Thief, don't you want to ask anything from the old man, don't dream!" It's the man who gives the old man a good time, it's not in vain for you and my opponent, and the old man also respects you as a hero! Otherwise, the old man will die and will not let you go! ”
Meng Ping's steps had already been taken, but when he heard this, he stopped, paused, squatted down in front of the commander of the Liang army, looked at the other party calmly, and said: "General, you are a lot old, and you are mixed up in this part today, to be honest, it is very miserable, but you and I are our own masters, and I have no choice." However, the general's words are at least three wrong, and I think it is necessary to point them out for the general. ”
Commander Liang Jun laughed angrily and asked coldly, "Which three?" ”
Meng Ping stretched out his fingers in turn and said seriously: "First, you and I are not opponents, because after I made a move, you didn't even have room to fight back, it's a pity to say, but you are really not my opponent; Second, I really don't have the slightest interest in heroes or not, so you can't take this to provoke me anything, my son-in-law said, the living are heroes, the winning people are heroes, as for whether the dead are heroes, the living have the final say; Third, you want to die, you want to kill, but I might as well tell you, you don't have a chance. ”
After speaking, Meng Ping sighed lightly, and in front of the other party's angry expression, his face was a little unreasonable. After thinking about it, Meng Ping finally looked at the commander of the Liang army in a very formal tone and said: "General, some people are getting smarter and smarter the more they live, so they are living well, and some people are still not smart after living all their lives, saying that they are living badly." If I were a general, I wouldn't struggle in vain at this time, and cooperation was a choice you didn't choose, so why bother with yourself? ”
"Of course, if you want to kill yourself and tell me what integrity is, I don't think it's necessary. Gongzi said, the battle of the Central Plains is a civil war, not an external war, and there is no need to be reckless with your own family, you really have the integrity to deal with the Khitan. ”
Standing up, Meng Ping looked at the vast river with his hands in his hands, "The reason why I say so much is because you are too old, the elders are respected, I can't bear to use too many means against you, if you surrender, I don't even mind supporting you in the old age, because we are all soldiers and have the same helplessness and pain." But if you don't surrender, then we are the enemy, Childe said, the enemy is not divided into men, women and children, they have only one identity: the enemy, and there is only one way to deal with them: the means of treating the enemy. ”
"How to choose, please think carefully about it."
After saying too many words in one breath, Meng Ping exhaled a long breath before he picked up his knife and walked away. But he didn't go far before he heard the curse of the commander of Liang Jun: "Xiao'er, thief, the old man doesn't need your cat to cry and fake mercy!" You don't want to mess with my mind! It's not a pity for the old man to die, but the old man died for the country and died as he deserved! Son, you don't have to die well, you ......"
The voice stopped abruptly at this point, and Meng Ping didn't have to look back to know that Wu Changjian had taken him into the house.
He Xiaofu, who had bandaged his wounds, walked beside Meng Ping, and said with a pouting when he heard the words: "General Meng, why do you have to talk so much to such an old man who eats ancient times, it is completely in vain. This kind of old man, kill it with one knife! ”
Meng Ping stopped, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "This is the mercy of the soldiers. ”
He Xiaofu was stunned, he didn't read any books, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Meng Ping's words at all.
Next, the Hundred Battles Army erased all traces of fierce battles in Shuizhai, quickly restored everything to its normal appearance, and if it could not be recovered, it was covered up in other ways.
The water vapor on the river surface is steaming, and looking at the other side of the river on the watchtower, you can vaguely see that the buildings and boats are dense like locusts, and the masts stand proudly like forests. Meng Ping didn't sleep all night, and at this time Wu Changjian came over and told him: The commander of the Liang army has recruited everything.
Meng Ping nodded, and did not ask what the situation was with the commander of the Liang army, whether he was alive or dead.
Wu Changjian saw that Meng Ping had nothing else to say, and after going down, he gave the commander of the Liang army, who had only a few breaths left, a happy one.
After killing people, Wu Changjian said, "He wants to repay the country with death, and if he doesn't fulfill him, he will be more miserable, especially after betraying Liang Jun." Let him live and be tortured than let him die. ”
At the end of the day, the sun rose in the east, the Yellow River was still calm in the glow, and the scarlet of blood in the water had long been gone. The Liang army on the other side of the river began to cross the river, and they first sent two small boats over, and after communicating with the water village, the big boats began to transport soldiers and horses across the river.
On the water surface of the vast and vast Yellow River, the big boat is like a giant beast, crossing the waves, the boat array is triangular, and a big boat in the middle is the tallest, looking from afar, like a city on the water.
"Good boy, this boat is really big, much bigger than the boat in this water village!" He Xiaofu couldn't help but sigh.
Meng Ping smiled and said: "The building boat that the Liang army crossed the river is called 'Lianfang', which is more than ten zhang high, one hundred and twenty steps square, takes wood as the city, starts the building, and opens four outs, on which can gallop horses back and forth, and can accommodate more than 2,000 people and horses. ”
He Xiaofu let out an "oh", as if he understood or not.
Meng Ping waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare for battle." ”
He Xiaofu understood this, hugged his fists and promised, and strode away.
The speed of the Liang army's big ships is not fast, and there are small boats around the big boats to serve as a barrier, but this is a river crossing, not a battle, and there are not many small boats, so as not to delay the big boats to dock when they get close to the water village. Meng Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, estimating the distance between the other party's big ship and the water village.
At two hundred paces, Meng Ping waved his hand, and the flag officer beside him immediately waved the order flag.
Shuizhai Wharf, the boat that was originally docked, suddenly moved, heading towards the river, the speed is getting faster and faster, and gradually has the power of an arrow off the string. These small boats are called walkers, which are characterized by being small and fast, and the book of war says that they "go back and forth like flying, and they are beyond the reach of people, and they are also very useful." ”
There is no naval army in the Hundred Battles Army, and large building ships can't be opened, but this kind of small boat is not, and it is easy to control it by selecting a sergeant in the army who knows how to know water and boats.
Liang Jun waved a flag on the big boat crossing the river, and it was estimated that he was asking Shuizhai what was the intention of suddenly sending more than 20 boats to meet him. Meng Ping didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the river with a slightly nervous hand.
The distance between the boat and the boat is getting closer.
"Raise the fence, pull the iron lock, and intercept the opponent's ship!" Meng Ping suddenly ordered.
Lianfang did not get a response, and the flag was still waving and asking, but the small boats around it were speeding up towards the boat, trying to intercept it.
But the boat next to the boat had not gone a few steps before it suddenly stopped and stood still on the surface of the river.
On the deck, Liang Jun ran back and forth, propped up on the side of the ship and observed the river, trying to see what was happening.
At this time, more than 20 ships controlled by the Hundred Battles Army had already approached the Liang Junlou ship.
Suddenly, more than 20 ships went aboard, and a sky-high fire broke out!
