Although Zhang Xian's magic arrow frightened Jin Shisan into abandoning his horse and running away, saving Li Heng's life, it could not save the entire battle.

Zhang is working hard, Xu Xuan is working hard, Hua Chaoxi is working hard, and Li Heng is working hard. Every Protector is desperate. But no matter how desperately they tried, under the absolute military superiority, the Jin soldiers still slowly turned the advantage into victory. And the Protector Army's phalanx is being chiseled in by a team of 100 golden soldiers, and it is about to fall apart.

Although Guo Jin's death did not cause the Protector Army to collapse directly, it made the Jin soldiers who were afraid of Guo Jin go crazy. They held their sabers high and rushed into the Protector Army formation with the help of their horses, and even if they were then stabbed into rotten people by random guns, they would have to fight two or three Protectors. Because this Protector Army has caused them too many casualties, it makes them heartbroken. Therefore, they had to kill all these Protectors with their sabers in order to regain their pride.

"Victorious! We're going to win. In the afternoon, our Iron Cavalry will crush these recalcitrant Protectors to a pulp. "Even Wanyan Xiyin, who is not familiar with military affairs, can see that his side will win a big victory at any time. So he was a little excited.

Zong Han's face sank like water and he didn't say a word.

Wanyan Xiyin knew Zong Han's thoughts, and immediately said with a smile, "Zong Han is extremely fierce, I know that you feel sorry for the casualties of our army. But as long as all this people's army is left here, even if Yue Fei has great ability, he will not be able to stop us from drinking the Central Plains. Another point, since the rise of the Protector Army, it has won all battles, but under the fierce hands of Zong Hanbo, it planted a big heel fight, and lost nearly half of the battle. Such a feat is worth drinking three cups! ”

Zong Han's eyes left the battlefield, looked towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and replied lightly, "We haven't won yet." ”

"Haha, at this point, I think we can declare a big win. Unless a god soldier descends from heaven, these protectors can be saved. Wan Yan Xi Yin laughed.

Zong Han's brows suddenly twisted, he pointed to the lower reaches of the Yellow River with his finger, and said in disbelief, "Is this the sailor of the Protector Army?" Old Thirteen, does the Protector Army have a sailor? ”

It turned out that at this moment, more than a dozen large building boats were sailing upstream in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Each building ship is four stories high, and the first building ship is like a battle flag of the Protector Army composed of the bright moon of the Great Wall.

Jin 13 couldn't figure out what was going on. "Isn't there only one water division composed of Liangshan thief Zhang Heng in the Protector Army? However, that water division is now on the Yi Shui near the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is impossible for him to suddenly come here. Besides, in Zhang Heng's sailors, there is no such a huge building ship. Isn't there a second sailor in the Protector Army? Oops, not good! ”

Zong Han said unhappily, "Thirteenth brother, don't be surprised. Even the sailors of the People's Protector Army can only stop on the Yellow River and watch us eliminate Zhang Xian's remnants. Do you know who this person is? ”

Jin Shisan took a deep breath before he hurriedly said, "Big brother, we have all ignored a group of pirates who have defected to Yue Fei. That was Li Bao's pirate fleet. Prime Minister, don't pout, Li Bao is not an ordinary sea coward. This man can be said to be the king of the sea gods. All the fleets that went to the ocean saw Li Bao, and no one bowed down to them. A few months ago, I heard that this person had joined the Protector Army, but the intelligence officer said that he had never been to Yingtianfu. I thought he was just with Yue Feixu and the snake, and he just wanted to do business with the Protector Army. Now it seems that this person has even hung up the banner of the People's Protector Army, and it seems that he has really taken refuge in Yue Fei. ”

Zong Han asked, "Old Thirteen, could it be that you still have dealings with this Li Bao?" ”

Jin Shisan said embarrassedly, "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I did recruit Li Bao and wanted him to be used by my big gold." My Dajin is invincible in land warfare, but I don't know anything about water warfare. If one day, we drink the Yangtze River, and there is no fleet, we can only look at the river and sigh. Unfortunately, this man cut off three of the four messengers I sent, and the remaining one also had his ear and nose cut off. He only replied to me with one sentence, Li Bao didn't dare to betray the country. ”

"Haha!" Zong Han laughed and said, "Since he is unwilling to betray the country. Wouldn't it be better if we caught him today, cut off his ears and nose, and carved these six words on his face! ”

Although Zong Han said it arrogantly, he didn't have any idea how to deal with Li Bao on the Yellow River. There was no stone thrower, so I had to try it with a rocket. While ordering Samoulu to intensify the attack on the Protectors, Zong Han ordered three thousand teams of horses to run eastward, along the banks of the Yellow River, and fired special rockets at the big boats.

Li Bao stood at the bow of the boat, building a pergola in his hand, watching the battle on the shore. "Alas, it seems that Zhang Xian's first division is about to be unable to hold on. Little ones, speed up, speed up, let the golden dog taste our fire oil bombs. ”

Li Bao is a man in his forties, originally from Ludezhou, Beijing. When he was a teenager, he went to sea with his father and uncle, who was a maritime merchant. As a result, he encountered pirates near the Wa Kingdom, his father and uncle were killed, and he was also taken captive as a slave of the Wa Kingdom. Li Bao worked as a slave in the Wa Kingdom for seven years, and finally saw an opportunity to slash thirty-nine pirates in one night, and then fled back to the Great Song Dynasty with hundreds of Song people who were also slaves.

Although they returned to the Great Song Dynasty, they couldn't find any other way to live. Li Bao decided to inherit his father's uncle's career and continue to be a maritime businessman. Because he had no capital, Li Bao asked for Li Bashao's mansion, which was also a maritime merchant. Li Bashao not only lent Li Bao 30,000 taels of silver, but also told Li Bao a lot of maritime merchants. Although 30,000 taels of silver is a lot, in the eyes of ocean-going maritime merchants, it is a very small transaction. However, Li Bao was unlucky, and for the first time he went to sea, he encountered a group of Arab pirates, and was robbed in Borneo again.

Li Bao was furious, led hundreds of people to flee to a small island, recuperated for a few days, and suddenly touched the lair of Arab pirates at dawn, and killed more than 200 pirates.

not only snatched back his own goods, but also robbed the pirates of the wealth accumulated for more than ten years. This harvest made Li Baomao stunned, and he decided not to be a maritime merchant and become a promising pirate instead.

With his personal strength and understanding of naval warfare, Li Bao swept away more than 30 pirates in the East China Sea in just over a dozen years, and became the king of pirates, known as the Mixed River Dragon.

However, although Li Bao has a lot of money, he has never forgotten Li Bashao's generous donation. Although Li Bashao's help made him a pirate by mistake, Li Bao was always grateful to Li Bashao.

In the year of Jingkang, the Great Song Dynasty collapsed. Li Bao, who was crisscrossing the South Seas, led thousands of pirates to Xuzhou, and then drove a small boat from the Huai River to Yingtianfu alone, wanting to take Li Bashao's family to his island in the South Seas to avoid this troubled time.

As a result, Li Bao was scolded by Li Bashao by pointing at his nose. Li Bashao said, "Is there a better place in the world than the Great Song Dynasty?" This is our home. When someone else comes to rob our homes, what we should do is not to run away, but to beat these robbers out. You are called the Chaojiang Dragon in vain, and in the face of the rampant Jin soldiers, do you dare to fight? ”

Li Bao said unconvinced, "Zhao Song Tianzi is shameless and deserves to be taken away." How many people have been harmed by Huashigang and Kutian Law, don't the eight masters know? Why do you have to work for this official? ”

Li Bashao said at the time, "I am not protecting the official family of Zhao and Song, but my own home." The official family of Zhao and Song should die, we can change to an official family, and we must not welcome the greedy wolf's golden captives into the Central Plains as an official family. If you are really a mixed river dragon, go back to Nanyang to rectify your team, and pull back to the Central Plains to deal with the golden dog. If not, then hide back on your small island in the South Seas and enjoy the riches. ”

Li Bao is a bloody man. was so excited by Li Bashao's words that he seriously returned to Nanyang and pulled back tens of thousands of Haikou cowards. Taking advantage of the chaos, he led his army to occupy Haizhou. When he came to Yingtianfu again, he found that Yingtianfu already had a people's army. And the old man Li Ba, whom he admires, is one of the founders of the Protector Army. The good military discipline of the Protector Army, as well as the record of winning a hundred battles, also made Li Bao very impressed. Finally, with the approval of Li Bashao, his own Haikou Army was included in the Protector Army sequence, called the Second Division of the Navy Army.

Although he joined the Protector Army, Li Bao had never met Yue Fei, the commander of the Protector Army. When he arrived at Yingtianfu, Yue Fei happened to go to Taihang Mountain to pick up his mother-in-law. Li Bashao told him that there are not too many places where the navy is currently used, and the main task of the second division of the navy is to make salt for Yingtianfu. In addition, it is to go to Ryukyu and first transport back hundreds of thousands of catties of Liuhuang to Ying Tianfu.

Li Bao came to the Yellow River this time precisely because his Liuhuang boat had just returned from a voyage to Ryukyu and went to Xuzhou to unload its goods, and he learned from Shi Buyu in Zhizhou that the Jin soldiers had attacked the Song Dynasty in three ways. Li Bao was extremely excited, because he felt that in this battle, his sailor had a place to play. Because he can block the Jin soldiers' river crossing boats.

Unfortunately, when his fleet arrived in Jinan, Zongbi's army had already crossed the river. His sailors were invincible in water warfare and could not be called strong on land. So he could only lead the fleet to wander at the mouth of the Yellow River. As a result, a few days ago, the injured Zhou Yi and Meng Lin inadvertently escaped to Li Bao's boat in order to avoid being chased by killers led by Rakshasa Girl. When Zhou Yi learned that Li Bao did not know where to go, he immediately persuaded Li Bao to lead his army up the river. Because Zhang Xian's army absolutely wants to retreat to Ying Tianfu. If they are caught up by the Jin soldiers, perhaps the sailors can help them break the siege.

Li Bao knew that Zhou Yi was Yue Fei's senior brother and the head of peripheral intelligence of the Protector Army, so he immediately led thousands of pirates upstream. Considering the need to block the pursuing troops on the shore, Li Bao deliberately drove in more than a dozen of his building ships. Along the way, Li Bao really suffered a lot. In the first month, the Yellow River is shallow, and there are not many places where you can cross the boat. From time to time, large ships run aground on the mud and sand.

If they had come a day earlier, Zhang Xian's tens of thousands of horses would not have suffered more than half of the casualties. However, this time is also the right time. Li Bao said secretly, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.

Li Bao had met Zhang Xian in Yingtianfu, and he had a good impression of this young junior general in Shu. thinks that this young general has a calm personality, both wisdom and courage, and is absolutely no problem to serve as the second in command of the People's Protector Army.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Zhang Xian again, it was his turn to show his skills and come to save Zhang Xian.

As soon as Li Bao thought of this, he heard the lookout on the ship say, "Dragon King, the golden dog has sent someone downstream. It looks like it's going to shoot us with rockets. ”

Li Bao glared at the lookout coiled on the mast, "What nonsense! Lao Tzu is not the Dragon King now, but Master Li. If you hear it, next time you shout it and cut your tongue. As for the golden dog, how powerful is the stone thrower we installed on the ship? Don't wait until Vice Marshal Zhang is there, and throw the oil bomb on the head of our people's protectors. ”
