The next day, Guan Sheng led a large army to Liangshan Shuibo.

Liang Shan also seemed to be eager to kick off this big battle, and did not destroy the road paved by the people.

There are many archers on the wall, and there are several large ships parked on the berth on the left side of the road, and the deck is also full of archers.

Seeing Liangshan's formation, the officers and soldiers suddenly lost their will to fight.

The road in front of us is simply a road of death.

Guan Sheng had expected that this road would not be easy to walk, and he was not frightened by the battle in front of him, so he immediately ordered the forbidden army under the command of two commanders to go up the passage and suppress the Liangshan archers with the divine arm bow, and the forbidden army under the command of one was ready to attack Shuizhai.

The officers who were ordered did not dare to disobey the order in front of the battle, so they could only take the soldiers and horses under their command and embark on this road of death.

The officers and men in the front and on the left carried shields and were armed with bows and arrows.

Liangshan also used the standard weapons of the imperial court, and it occupied a favorable location, and the officers and soldiers and archers had not yet entered their own range, and Liangshan soldiers and horses had already begun to release arrows.

The locust-like bows and arrows fell, most of which were blocked by the shields, but a few arrows passed through the gaps in the shields and hit the officers and soldiers inside.

A scream rang out, and the shield array was also in chaos, and more arrows burrowed into it.

A gap appeared in front of it, and a large number of sharp arrows flew up from the wall like locusts and plunged straight into the gap.

The archers hidden behind the shield were suddenly shot down in a row, the protection of the imperial court armor was very good, if it was not unlucky to be hit, even if it was not seriously injured even if it was inserted into a few arrows, if it was a brave person, it was not uncommon to charge with dozens of arrows.

However, there was obviously no such hero in the first commander who was sent into battle, and he could still move even if he fell to the ground. One by one, they all crawled backwards.

The officers and soldiers near the gap also squeezed to both sides, and the shield array immediately revealed even greater flaws.

After a few rounds of arrow rain. The shield array collapsed completely.

The first wave of the offensive ended with the loss of more than a dozen corpses and the wounding of nearly 100 people.

Guan Sheng changed another wave of soldiers and horses. Still with nearly 100 casualties, they collapsed and retreated.

Less than 30 people were killed in the two waves of attacks, which was negligible for an army of 15,000, but what worried Guan Sheng was the will of the forbidden army to fight.

If it is only this level of casualties and they will retreat, then when the soldiers and horses of Liangshan want to defend the cottage, they will not be able to defeat the cottage.

After the two waves of soldiers and horses all retreated, Guan Sheng also launched a ruthless attack, shouting: "If anyone escapes from the battle, they will all be beheaded." Breaking through the wall of the water wall. Remembering the first merit of suppressing bandits, who wants to lead troops to fight the water village? ”

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Guan Sheng couldn't promise them a few levels of promotion, but if they made a note of their first merit, the court would inevitably reward them in the future.

However, Guan Sheng overestimated the fighting spirit of these people, and his voice fell for a while, but no one made a sound.

Tang Bin and Hao Siwen wanted to relieve Guan Sheng, but the soldiers and horses they brought were all transferred from various state capitals, and they were not brought out by themselves, so it was not easy to call.

Instead, Xuanzan brought some Tokyo Forbidden Army to protect the Chinese army. Seeing that no one agreed to Guan Sheng, he said loudly: "I am willing to lead the troops to fight this water village." ”

Guan Sheng also felt that he needed a fierce general to make contributions, so he glanced at Xuanzan and didn't say much. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay." ”

At that moment, Xuanzan ordered his soldiers and horses to come to the road of death.

Xuanzan is good at connecting arrows, but he can't shoot the hundreds of archers on the wall of the water village and the hundreds of archers on the big ship. He simply took a shield in one hand and a steel knife in the other. Came with his soldiers.

Under the cover of the shield array, Xuanzan led the soldiers and horses forward steadily.

"Don't mess up. The arrow is left behind. ”

Although from time to time there were soldiers who were shot by arrows, under the shouts of praise, the officers and soldiers were still like turtles, slowly moving forward under the cover of shields.

Later, Guan Sheng saw that Xuanzan and his soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to the wall of Shuizhai, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, as long as he broke through the wall of Shuizhai, the officers and soldiers could continue to attack.

Wu Song, who commanded the soldiers and horses on the wall, saw that this wave of officers and soldiers was tenacious, and they had almost advanced to more than ten steps of the wall, sneered, turned around and grabbed a piece of stone weighing dozens of catties from the wall, and smashed it towards the shield array.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the officers and soldiers carrying the shields were suddenly smashed to the ground by Wu Song's stone, and the shields were also buckled on their bodies.

Dozens of sharp arrows were also immediately shot from this gap to the officers and soldiers behind.

The officers and soldiers in the back hurriedly put down the shields held above their heads to block the front.

But Wu Song opened his bow with both hands, and pieces of stones the size of a human head smashed on the shield.

Xuanzan carried the shield and took Wu Song's stone, and was almost knocked over directly, but before he could think about it, he was hit by another stone and immediately fell to the ground.

Guan Sheng watched outside the park that all the people in front were smashed down, and the officers and soldiers in the back were also shot down by hundreds of people, so he could only order them to retreat.

The Tokyo forbidden army on the road to death heard Mingjin, and they didn't care about the people in front of them, so they fled backwards one after another.

After Xuanzan was knocked down, the shield was also blocked on his body, except for the shoulder injury, but he was not hit by an arrow, and he didn't dare to get up when he heard Mingjin, so he could only follow the officers and soldiers who were shot down and knocked down and slowly crawled back.

Fortunately, Liangshan's archers did not chase and fight, and when they saw that they were no longer attacking, they did not let go of their arrows.

Climbing out of the range of the Liangshan archers, Xuanzan got up and withdrew.

The disgraced came to Guan Sheng, and Xuanzan arched his hand and said: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." ”

Guan Sheng shook his head and said: "We filled in this road, but we created a geographical advantage for Liangshan. They have thousands of archers to wield, and there are no archers on the trail, so we can only rush hard. I have to think of a way to break through the water village. ”

Tang Bin nodded and said: "Rushing hard is not a way, you have to borrow siege equipment." ”

Xuanzan thought for a while and said, "I think of a person, there is a gunner in Tokyo, Ling Zhen, whose name is Thunder. This man is good at making artillery, and he can go a mile away, where the stone cannon falls, the sky collapses, and the mountains fall and the stones crack. If this person is transferred, he will be able to destroy this water village. ”

When Guan Sheng heard this, he said happily: "With such a gunner, why can't you extinguish the Liangshan thieves." Let's go back to the camp. Please send this person to the Taishi, and then use troops when this water village is broken. ”

The officers and soldiers were already timid. Listening to the troops, one ran faster than the other.

When he returned to the camp, Guan Sheng repaired a book. Let Xuanzan go back to Tokyo to see Cai Jing.

Cai Jing heard that the road had been paved, and as long as the gunner blew up the water village, he could exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and he didn't blame him, so he passed down the decree and summoned Ling Zhen, the deputy gunner of the armor warehouse.

It turned out that Ling Zhenzu was the first gunner in the prosperous era of the Song Dynasty, and everyone called him a thunderbolt, and he was also proficient in martial arts.

At that moment, Ling Zhenlai saw Cai Jing. After receiving the diploma of the marching commander, he taught him to pack up his saddle horse and get up.

Let's say that Ling Zhen will use the fireworks and medicinal materials to load the various colored artillery, as well as the corresponding guns and gun mounts, on the car; He brought his clothes, armor, armor, swords, luggage and other pieces, and a battalion of soldiers, left Tokyo, and took the road to Liangshan.

When you arrive at the camp, first come to see the main general Guan Sheng. Prepare the distance of the water village and arrange the artillery stone attack.

That night, he rested in the camp for the night.

The next day, Guan Sheng ordered the army and Ling Zhen to come to the water's edge.

The army was set aside. Ling Zhen measured the distance and distance, and then asked Jun Jian to straighten out the gun carriage and erect it at the water's edge. Prepare to fire.

Guan Sheng's soldiers and horses rested outside the berth for many days, and Shi Jin heard that Guan Sheng was attacking again. And he led all the princes down the mountain to see.

A group of leaders stood on the wall and watched, and Lin Chong and other people in the army naturally knew the gun carriage.

Lin Chong shouted, "Not good. Officers and soldiers should use artillery. ”

Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said: "I heard that there was a gunner in Tokyo who called Thunder Lingzhen, and the artillery he built could hit a mile away, and they set up a cannon outside the berth, so they invited that person to come." ”

Lin Chong also knew Ling Zhen's name, and nodded: "If it is really Ling Zhenshi, it is not appropriate to stick to it." ”

Shi Jin heard that Ling Zhen's artillery could hit a mile away, but he didn't know how powerful his artillery was, so he immediately said: "When there is such a person, let's abandon Shuizhai first, and see how far his artillery can hit." ”

Now the water village is guarded by infantry troops.

Luda heard Shi Jin's words and shouted: "We abandoned the water village like this? The Sprinkle family also saw artillery when they were in the Western Army, and it was not small, but it could not kill many people. ”

Shi Jin said: "This Ling Zhen has the name of thunder, there must be something extraordinary, let's withdraw from the water village first, and see how powerful his artillery is." ”

Luda heard Shi Jin say this, so he didn't say more.

Guan Sheng was also overjoyed when he saw the soldiers and horses of Liangshan in the water village evacuate one after another, and immediately ordered a battalion of forbidden troops to prepare to seize the water village.

Shi Jin had just led people out of the water village, and Ling Zhen was also ready here, and immediately commanded his hands to work together to call the water village.

"Boom"

The first shot fell into the water, and where the cannon fell, it exploded with a bang, and a column of water splashed into the sky.

Ling Zhen commanded the man to adjust the gun carriage, and then put the cannon again.

"Boom"

The second shot hit the water again, but it was very close to the wall.

Ling Zhen made a slight adjustment, and the third shot hit the wall of the Golden Beach Water Village.

"Boom"

The artillery exploded violently, and suddenly a large hole in the wall of the wall was several feet in circumference.

With one shot, it will be easier for Ling Zhen to calibrate.

"Boom"

"Boom"

In the sound of cannons, the Golden Beach Water Village was also bombed.

When the leaders reached the first pass, they all changed their faces when they saw the tragic situation of the water village below.

Shi Jin also had a headache, this artillery can't be compared with the bombs of later generations, but this is also very powerful, and the lethality of the scattered shrapnel is at least a few feet.

During the Chinese New Year, he asked people to buy fireworks, so he thought about configuring black powder.

It is naturally impossible for him, a college student, not to know the classic formula of black powder, but the purity of the saltpeter and sulfur he bought is not fixed, and there are no professionals in Liangshan to do this, and the power of the gunpowder prepared is sometimes large and sometimes small, and it cannot be used at all, so he put the gunpowder on hold first.

Now it seems that Ling Zhen still has to be caught up in the mountain.

Xiao Jiasui said: "The officers and soldiers have this artillery to attack the mountain, we should not hold on to it anymore, and send someone to make a war letter, and in the coming day and Guan Sheng will fight a decisive battle outside the berth." ”

Liang Shan was not afraid of a decisive battle with Guan Sheng, but Xiao Jiasui wanted to hold on for a long time before, which consumed the spirit of Guan Sheng's army and then fought a decisive battle.

At that moment, Shi Jin sent someone to give Guan Sheng a war letter from Bomian.

Guan Sheng saw that Liang Shan was willing to come out for a decisive battle, thinking that Ling Zhen's artillery could only deter thieves, and if he wanted to fight over, he still had to fight between the two armies, but it was better to have a decisive battle, so he took the battle letter.
