The fisherman who led the way was Ruan Xiaoer, and after Liu Menglong's sailor came to attack, everyone discussed it and decided on this fire plan, but the reeds were very vast, and they couldn't burn them all at once.

Therefore, Ruan Xiaoer waited by the water pool, and if Liu Menglong was looking for someone to lead the way, he would be responsible for leading Liu Menglong's sailor into the Jedi.

If Liu Menglong doesn't look for the way, Bacheng will also get lost in the reeds, and Ruan Xiaowu will pretend to be a fisherman and lead them to the Jedi.

The Jedi were surrounded by small boats loaded with a large amount of reeds and firewood, and the soldiers on the mountain would fire their cannons when they saw Liu Menglong's sailors entering the ambush.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, fire was set on all sides.

The easiest way to break this plan is for Liu Menglong not to enter the reeds, but to burn the reeds directly, and then drive straight in.

At that time, if everyone didn't want to fight hard, they could only use the water village to consume Liu Menglong's soldiers and horses, and then lead them up the mountain to eliminate Liu Menglong's water division with the level.

Unexpectedly, Liu Menglongzhi was very talented, and let the Liang Navy make a contribution.

Ruan Xiaoer saw that everyone on the boat was in a mess, and no one paid attention to him, so he jumped into the water and said with a smile in mid-air: "Grandpa is going too." ”

"Thief."

When Liu Menglong heard Ruan Xiaoer say this, he also knew that he had been fooled and was led into the Jedi, scolded angrily, followed Ruan Xiaoer and jumped into the water, chasing Ruan Xiaoer who fled in front.

Ruan Xiaoer turned his head to see Liu Menglong chasing after him, and couldn't help but wave to Liu Menglong provocatively, and swam forward unhurriedly.

Liu Menglong was bound by the armor on his body, but he couldn't swim fast, so he had to chase after him while untying his military uniform.

The two of them had not swam far in the water before they saw that the fire had spread, the reeds on both sides were crackling, and the water was filled with thick smoke. Before he could get closer, he felt that the flames were scorching, and the flames from the burning reeds on both sides blocked the water.

Ruan Xiaoer took a deep breath, plunged into the water, dived forward, swam under the fire, the water temperature was a little higher, fortunately, the reeds burned fast, swam a while, the reeds in front of him had already burned most of them, and the flames were not so big. Ruan Xiaoer came out of the water from time to time to change his breath, but the water surface was full of floating ash after the burning of the reeds, and Ruan Xiaoer only occasionally went up to change his breath, still sneaking in the water.

Ruan Xiaoer turned around, but saw that Liu Menglong had chased him four or five feet behind, and all the armor on his body had been removed.

Liu Menglong originally wanted to take advantage of Ruan Xiaoer's unpreparedness to catch up with the thief who led him into the Jedi, but now when he saw Ruan Xiaoer find out, he also tried his best to chase after him.

Ruan Xiaoer saw that Liu Menglong's speed had increased greatly, and he also became competitive, and flew forward like a flying fish.

The two chased and fled, and after a short time, they pierced the reeds.

Liu Menglong was chasing after him, and suddenly saw dozens of girder warships lined up on the water, and he couldn't help but be stunned, turned around and fled backwards.

Zhang Shun had already seen the two of them swimming in the water at the bow of the boat, and when he saw Liu Menglong trying to escape, a fierce man plunged into the water. Ruan Xiaoer saw that Liu Menglong was going to escape, so he also turned around and chased back.

Liu Menglong didn't escape far before he was caught up by Zhang Shun and hugged him, Ruan Xiaoer also caught up, and the two worked together to drag Liu Menglong out of the water.

A clipper grabbed up and pulled the three of them to the boat, and the two sailors tied up Liu Menglong.

Zhang Shun twisted the water on his clothes, looked at Liu Menglong and said, "Who is this guy?" The surname Shui is not bad. ”

Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile: "This guy is Liu Menglong, the commander who led the troops this time, and his surname is similar to mine, so you and Xiao Qi can catch him in the water." ”

Liu Menglong snorted coldly, looked at the warships around him with disdain, and said, "If it weren't for your tricks, with your broken ships, I would have been able to wipe you out with a snap of my fingers." ”

Ruan Xiaoer was the commander of the navy designated by Chao Yong, and said with a smile: "If the war is just to see whose weapons are good, then the Great Song Dynasty should have destroyed the Liao State and Western Xia for so many years." I think you are also a good man, if you are willing to submit to my Liang, I will ensure that you will also be the leader of the navy. ”

Zhang Shun also said: "The younger brother Zhang Shun grew up in Xunyang River, and we are also villagers, and we all eat the water of the river." You have also seen, in these years, the most common thing in the river is the ship that transports Huashigang, the Song Dynasty has lost the hearts of the people, and now it is the time for the heroes to compete for the deer, and my generation will rise up. When General Liu came, Jiangnan must have been full of smoke, right? ”

Liu Menglong heard that Zhang Shun was also a fellow villager of the Yangtze River, his face was also a little soothed, and he nodded: "In recent years, the people of Jiangnan have suffered from Huashigang, and Fang La has gathered many people under the banner of Zhu Mian. However, when I went north, Tong Shuxiang had already led 200,000 western troops south, and I am afraid that Fang La would not be able to jump for long. ”

Zhang Shun said with a smile: "Manichaeism has gathered many heroes from the south of the Yangtze River, and now Tong Guan's army has fought several battles with Manichaeism, but they have won and lost each other. Fang La instead captured Wuzhou and Quzhou, and my Liang spy just received the news that Zhao Ji sent an edict to appease Fang La, which shows that Tong Guan did not have the upper hand in Jiangnan. ”

Liu Menglong hadn't learned the news yet, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

Ruan Xiaoer said: "If General Liu hasn't thought about it yet, please go to the cabin to rest first, the fire has already burned inside, we should also follow the fire and salvage your subordinates." ”

When Liu Menglong heard this, he also felt panicked, and the responsibility for this defeat could be said to be all his. Fortunately, the soldiers under his command are all good, and they should all be able to escape from the water, but unfortunately many of the warships were all destroyed.

Liu Menglong thought for a while and said, "I am willing to return to Daliang, and I ask you to do your best to rescue my soldiers." ”

Ruan Xiaoer was also overjoyed when he saw Liu Menglong's willingness to surrender, and immediately let people set off the cannon again, and the warships in ambush on all sides went to the middle together.

On the left is Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng, on the right is Zhang Heng, and on the back is Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi led the army to ambush in the reeds, and after Liu Menglong's army entered the reeds, they went around to the berth.

The first lighted reed had been burned, and the black mud was exposed in many places, like ridges, but the water in the middle was much deeper.

Many soldiers of the Song army have swam out, and most of them have surrendered when they see that the general trend has gone, and let the Liang soldiers pull them onto the boat and tie them up, and a few who resisted were stabbed to death in the water.

In this battle, Liu Menglong's 5,000 sailors were captured alive by Liangshan, more than 4,000 people were killed, and some of the stubborn ones were killed, and a few people with poor water surnames were slow to swim, because of the fire burning and lack of oxygen, and they were suffocated and drowned in the water.

On the other side, after Chao Yong's army returned to the camp, everyone also began to lobby Wang Huan and Zhang Kai.

Wang Huan finally nodded and said: "I was originally born in the green forest, and I agree more with the beam." However, now that I am fighting with General Lin, I have to admit that I am old and can no longer fight for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the prince to fight the world together. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he said with a smile: "At the age of the general, I don't dare to let you saddle a horse, but the general's martial arts are strong, Chao Yong wants to invite the general to sit in the rear, and we can expand the territory with peace of mind." ”
