It's mid-September, and it's already a little cold on the lake.

The leaders went out on a fast boat, and a cold wind blew, and they couldn't help but tighten their clothes.

Out of the reeds, I could already see the army of black pressure coming towards the water with a sky full of dust.

There was still a stone's throw from the shore, and the clipper stopped.

Hu Yanzhuo also got the news, and came to Shuibo with Han Tao and Ling Zhenze.

When Chao Yong saw Hu Yanzhuo, he couldn't help but play with it, and shouted, "How is General Hu Yan?" ”

When Hu Yanzhuo heard Chao Yong's greeting, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't want to reply so as not to be teased. But seeing that all the soldiers next to him were looking at him, he had no choice but to shout: "Listen, now that I surrender, I can also write to the court and ask for a letter of forgiveness for you." Otherwise, the army will sweep away the puddles and tear down the nests, and there will be no mercy at that time. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "I just don't know if General Huyan went to ask for the emperor's holy decree or Cai Jing's holy decree?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo's face turned red when he heard this, he really hadn't seen the emperor since he was requisitioned, he just received the Privy Council's troop transfer documents, and then visited Cai Jing, it stands to reason that the emperor should know, but he was not summoned by the emperor, and he couldn't see the emperor.

Now that Cai Jingquan is in favor of the government and the opposition, Liangshan Caokou has robbed Cai Jing's birthday gang before, and has blocked their way to recruit An. If Liangshan Caokou really surrendered, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape Cai Jing's poisonous hands, but would let himself be saddled with the notoriety of treachery.

Thinking through the joints, Hu Yanzhuo no longer dared to say anything to surrender, and shouted: "Since you are going to resist stubbornly, we will divide the victory and defeat at the foot of this Liang Mountain." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing when he heard Hu Yanzhuo say this: "Grandpa has been waiting for you to pick up the war-free card, a few days ago, Brother Yong'er and they greeted you." When you get to this water pool, it is grandpa's territory, and grandpa can't let you come in vain, so you have to drink some water before leaving. ”

Hu Yanzhuo saw that Ruan Xiaoqi was so rude, and he was no longer interested in talking, so he turned his horse and retreated to the water's edge.

With a wave of their hands, the archers all rushed to the water's edge, stretched out their bows and arrows, and as long as anyone dared to approach from the water, they would surely shoot thousands of arrows into hedgehogs.

On the two flanks of the shore were the horse army guard, and the soldiers and horses who were protected in the center began to dig pits and extract soil, put them into the cloth bags that had been prepared for a long time, and then filled them into the water pool.

The water on the side of the Bo is shallow, and Hu Yanzhuo has thousands of soldiers and men to do it, but with a cup of tea, a land route with a length of two zhang and a width of more than one zhang has been filled.

Hu Yanzhi saw it, and couldn't help but rejoice: "With this filling method, you can fill in the center of the park today, and then you will see General Ling's artillery achievements." ”

Ling Zhen was still on the battlefield for the first time, and he was also very excited, and said happily: "General Huyan, rest assured, I have brought the wind artillery, golden wheel cannon, and sub-mother cannon that were first developed. As long as the land route is paved and our artillery is everywhere, we will be able to destroy the thieves' nest. ”

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't hide his joy when he saw Ling Zhen so confident.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder, his soldiers are still single-clothed, and many of them have been cold-stricken and have lost their combat effectiveness.

When he set out on the expedition, he didn't expect that attacking a group of grass robbers with 8,000 elite forbidden troops would be long-lasting, so he didn't let the soldiers carry winter clothes. If you can't force Liangshan Caokou anymore, you can only storm Liangshan regardless of casualties.

Otherwise, the coming winter will make the army completely lose its combat effectiveness, and then you can only ask Jingshi for winter clothes again, and if you delay it for a long time, I am afraid that Cai Jing will be dissatisfied and take away his military power.

When Ling Zhenzheng was gearing up and directing his subordinates to install the gun mount, he saw a commander running to report: "Further ahead, the sandbags seem to be slipping on both sides, and the progress is very slow. ”

Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Ling Zhen rushed to the water's edge to take a look, and sure enough, they threw in hundreds of sandbags in a row, but they couldn't see the extension of the land route, so they hurriedly found a person who knew how to go into the water to see.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw a person jumping into the water, and couldn't help laughing: "This Hu Yanzhuo doesn't know if this water pool is my Ruan family's Sanxiong's backyard, let's watch me catch that guy." ”

Chao Yong hurriedly grabbed Ruan Xiaoqi and said, "Xiaoqi, don't be impulsive, the water is shallow, and there are so many archers on the shore, I'm afraid you will be killed by random arrows before you get close." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said unwillingly: "Then let them enter the berth so easily?" ”

Chao Yong knew Ruan Xiaoqi's surname, if he only said that it was dangerous, he would be even more excited, and he might jump into the water to catch someone. At the moment, he pointed to the gun carriage that was slowly erected on the shore, and said with a smile: "Seeing that there is no gun carriage over there, they are going to pave a road, and then use artillery to attack the water village." ”

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he didn't wait for Chao Yong to finish speaking, and said hurriedly: "Then you can't let them pave the road so easily." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "It's too big a loss to stop them from paving the road now, and we are short of gunners in Liangshan." You think that if Huyanzhuo paved the way into the moor, the archers on the shore would not be able to protect them. How many archers can stand on that road alone, and then it will be time for your brother to make meritorious deeds, and if you are not afraid of death, go and capture the gunner alive. At that time, I Liangshan can use artillery to snore and burn. Now, can you get me that gunner? ”

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he was happy, patted Chao Yong on the shoulder and said, "It's still you who are cheating, I was thinking about other people's gunners." Don't worry, as long as the gunner arrives in Bozhong, he will enter our Liangshan, and most of my men are men who are not afraid of death, and they will definitely capture him alive. ”

When the leaders heard Ruan Xiaoqi say that Chao Yong was deceitful, they couldn't help laughing.

Without the obstruction of the Liangshan army, the officers and soldiers who went into the water quickly figured out the situation, and sure enough, after the water was deep, the sandbags thrown down were slid on both sides, and the road on the water was not more than a foot wide, but it needed to be paved several feet below.

Ling Zhen was also anxious to see the power of his newly developed artillery, thought about it, and came up with an idea: "If you can plant some wooden stakes on both sides and connect them with iron chains, it should be much easier." ”

Hu Yanzhuo also felt justified when he heard it, so he locked the chain together like his own chain horse, which could naturally prevent the sandbags from sliding on both sides.

At that moment, he ordered: "Han Tao took 500 horse troops to requisition civilian ships along the water, and transferred them here, and the rest of the people should not be disturbed." Then let Yuncheng County send some carpenters to come and cut down the stakes nearby. The digger continued to pack the bags, first by the berth, and then filled in after the stakes had been planted. ”

The cool breeze on the berth was gusting, Hu Sanniang was a daughter after all, and there was a gust of wind blowing on the boat, so she couldn't help but shiver.

Chao Yong saw that Hu Sanniang was a little trembling, and said: "Daddy, it seems that Hu Yanzhuo has encountered a problem, let him worry about it." We might as well go up the mountain to see how General Xu's hook and sickle spearmen are training, and there are sailors staring at this beach. ”

Liu Tang looked impatient for a while, and shouted: "Exactly, let the children under him keep an eye on it, Hu Yanzhuo is stupidly filling, we don't have to accompany him." When he fills in the moor, let's kill him again without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Okay, then let's go and see General Xu's hook and sickle spearmen." ”
