Compared to the imperial navy division that was completely able to block and paralyze the river, the only fleet of the Liangshan Water Army left behind in the base camp was a bit shabby. At this time, the more than 20 large river ships carrying out sniper missions were obviously not above the same grade in front of the opponent's huge fleet composed of thousands of sea ships, the smallest of which was also a thousand materials.

"It would be a good plan for the troop carrier to take the initiative to retreat, and the warship to intercept our army and gain time for it to go ashore!"

Liu Menglong, who was in the lookout position, noticed the abnormal movement of the Liangshan army, and immediately guessed Hu Yanqing's strategy, only to see that he looked embarrassed, and said: "It's just that he wants to delay the march speed of my army with more than 20 escort boats, is he too confident?" It seems that this person is a bold person, but unfortunately, if people are too confident, sooner or later there will be a leak! ”

"Which of these will species not have nostrils facing the sky?" The commander followed the boss's words. "But the young general wondered, after all, this Liangshan Bo can also get together more than 100 big ships, how can when he sees the real chapter, only Hu Yanqing is the only one to carry the tripod? Could it be that Sanruan, Li Jun and others are really vain people, except for driving boats to ferry people, they have no strength to fight? But leaving Hu Yanqing, a widowed general, on the front line, is it necessary to follow the joke of using the mantis arm as a car! ”

"I didn't expect us to come across the sea! Maybe it's possible that the ship is carrying bandit infantry and it's inconvenient to engage in battle! So you reminded me that I must not be asked to unload their foot soldiers and rush to support Hu Yanqing! Pass my military order, order the eight battalions of the front army, push it flat, don't be busy with the battle, first smoke these guys, and then take advantage of them to be dizzy, and then grab the boat with white blades! ”

The commander hurriedly gave the order, but listened to the drum and trumpet on Liu Menglong's flagship, although the sound was mixed, as long as it was an insider, he could understand the meaning. It is a pity that Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Qianping Navy, is also one of the insiders.

"As soon as he came up, he took the fierce medicine, he was going to try my catties!" Hu Yanqing listened carefully to the drums and trumpets of the officers and soldiers opposite, and muttered. At this time, he did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said: "Order, withdraw all the water whistle horses!" The whole army is on alert and ready to fight! ”

After Hu Yanqing finished speaking, he turned around and took two wet wipes and handed them to Zhu Wudao: "I can use them in a while!" ”

Zhu Wu nodded, took the wet wipes with a solemn face, and covered his mouth and nose without saying a word. His move is undoubtedly tantamount to informing Hu Yanqing that he, a layman, will not interfere with Hu Yanqing's command in this battle.

Although Hu Yanqing had repeatedly persuaded him to withdraw with Xie Fu's fleet first. However, Zhu Wu, as the temporary commander-in-chief, politely refused this kindness, and the Liangshan Army did not have the tradition of battlefield commanders in the rear, which was gradually preserved from the beginning when Wang Lun took the initiative to lead by example in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Hu Yanqing pondered deeply, and sometimes gave orders, adjusted the formation, and deployed soldiers, just for this broken battle. Making the final preparations.

"Bang...... Bang ......"

The two fleets finally encountered in the narrow channel of the Beiqing River, and the first to open the curtain of the battle was the stone throwing machine carried on the official warship. At this point, the ammunition contained in these trebuchets was not stone. It is a variety of fireballs in the Great Song Dynasty Water Army, mainly including two categories, one is poison smoke balls, and the other is burning fireballs.

For the Jinling Sailor. Although this battle is against the current, it has a great advantage: tailwind! And the smoke of poison gas in the air needs the help of the wind to amplify the effect of shielding and poisoning opponents. Don't worry about eating yourself, it's really beautiful.

Dozens of ships carried by the stone throwers were launched together, in this narrow river, the Liangshan army was difficult to avoid, and in a short time, many ships were already billowing smoke on the decks, even though Hu Yanqing had prepared in advance, so that the soldiers were prepared with wet towels, but the coughing sound that could be heard everywhere was still endless. However, the crowd seemed to have expected this, and many of them, after the initial panic, began to take action, pouring the sand that had been prepared on the burning smoke pile.

Although the defense measures of the Liangshan army were complete, it was a little strange that the scene was only a unilateral attack by the officers and soldiers, but the Liangshan fleet did not move, so that Liu Menglong was a little suspicious that the other party was equipped with a sharp weapon like a stone thrower.

"Order the ships not to throw fireballs, and increase the intensity of the smoke balls! Now the river is narrow, and when its ships are burned out, the thieves' foot soldiers will go ashore in the morning! Liu Menglong wanted to rush for time, and he didn't care about using the safest way, and the weakness of the other party also gave him a lot of confidence.

On the flagship of the Liangshan Army, I saw that a few leaders couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to Hu Yanqing and said, "Brother! When will our troops return fire!? ”

It is said that the eighth battalion still belongs to the new neen in the Liangshan Water Army, and has not experienced actual combat at all, even though Hu Yanqing has taught well, there are still some small leaders who can't help it, and they have urged the commander.

Hu Yanqing was not in a hurry, but he had a deeper calculation in his heart, and he didn't say a word at the moment, just silently calculated the distance on the bridge, Zhu Wu saw this, took off the towel and said, "What is the first iron law of our Liangshan Army?" ”

Seeing that it was the fifth-ranked military elder brother in the cottage who spoke, the little leader said timidly: "One qiē action is under command!" ”

Zhu Wu didn't punish him at this time, but just said: "It's good that you know, listen to the military orders of the leader of Huyan!" Go down and take your place and set an example to the sergeants! ”

Everyone retreated when they heard this, and Zhu Wu looked at Hu Yanqing with some worry at this time, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Hu Yanqing shouting: "Order, the whole army will release thunderbolt fireballs!" ”

At this time, the Liangshan fleet, which was shrouded in smoke, temporarily gave up the flag, and for a while the drums were beating, and the Liangshan Shuishou, who had suffered the loss of the old nose, held back his strength and threw the thunderbolt fireball that the leader of the Shenji Battalion Ling Zhen had specially transformed for the naval army.

Suddenly, in the smoke and dust, countless gunpowder clusters with "ears" broke out of the dust and planted them in a parabolic motion towards the Jinling Sailors. Liu Menglong's pupils on the watchtower shrank sharply, and countless question marks appeared in his heart between the lightning and flint: Since the stone thrower is equipped, why didn't Liang Shanjun use it first?

However, Liu Menglong is a general, and he instantly thought that Hu Yanqing was only afraid that he would give it a go after all the officers and soldiers entered the range, but Liu Menglong still couldn't figure it out, and he kept it in his heart. I think it's just a thunderbolt of fireball, what's the difference between throwing it early and throwing it late?

didn't let Liu Menglong wait long, and the cruel facts told him the answer. What kind of thunderbolt fireball is this, but seeing that every landing point is like a thunderous sound, the movement is a hundred times more fiery than firecrackers and other things. Liu Menglong saw with his own eyes that a commander of the forward and rear army was on the passenger boat and on the bridge. Suddenly there was not even a single person standing.

Liu Menglong gasped and shouted: "Evil Gate!" What a wicked door! The commander beside him was also frightened, knowing that the other party's range had reached its peak, he still couldn't help but persuade: "Xianggong, the gentleman does not stand under the wall, please move Xianggong!" ”

Liu Menglong hadn't thought about whether to go down or not, but saw Liang Shanjun make another move, this time there seemed to be some "big guys" mixed in, but the smell was ten times more violent than just now, and the roar like a sky collapse vibrated Liu Menglong's eardrum to crack. When he looked at his former army again, several thousands of ships had begun to sink with a pop, and the sailors who survived on it had no fighting spirit, and they all screamed and jumped into the water to escape.

"Xiang, Xianggong, do you want to change the burning fireball? The poisonous smoke ball can't seem to stop these thieves! The commander was in chaos and shouted in Liu Menglong's ear. Fortunately, the range of these "big guys" is obviously much shorter than that of the Thunderbolt Fireball, otherwise the commander would have dragged Liu Menglong down to avoid it for fear of disobedience.

"Still fighting against these demons? You're in the water! Pass me military orders, and press them all on me. Grab the ship! White-knuckle combat! ”

It's no wonder that Liu Menglong lost his composure at this time, just because the thief has a subversive secret weapon in his hand, the key is that he doesn't know whether the trump card in the opponent's hand is clean or not, if he doesn't take advantage of the advantage of numbers to fight to the death at this time. was bombarded by the other party for a while, and when the morale completely collapsed, then he Liu Menglong would really die without a place to be buried.

The Jinling Sailor was brought out by Liu Menglong, and he poured his countless painstaking sweat. At this critical juncture, this group of Great Song Dynasty naval forces realized that retreat was death, and there was still a way to survive if they advanced. Under the leadership of Liu Menglong's flagship, Man Fan pressed towards the Liangshan army.

"This guy is really a character!" Hu Yanqing couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the other party was beaten so badly and covered his face, but he was still able to bear it and not retreat, but bullied himself and wanted to come to a white-knuckle battle.

"It turns out that we have such a divine weapon in Liangshanbo? Fuck it, let it go! Don't stop, let this guy taste our awesomeness! Cheng Gui said excitedly, a battle that he thought had no chance of winning was actually reversed dramatically.

"Leader, there are only the last two left! All out? The sailor in charge of the stone thrower looked at Cheng Guidao with an embarrassed face.

Cheng Gui was stunned for a moment, he played well, but he didn't have to make it at the critical moment, this is not his life? I saw that he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly ask the flagship!" ”

In the face of the inquiries of the ships, the flagship had no choice. The various ingredients of gunpowder produced in the Song Dynasty every year were originally few, especially the two main ingredients of sulfur and saltpeter, which were collected by Liangshanbo for two years, and it was just that, Wang Lun took the vast majority of them to Goryeo, and there were not many left in the cottage at this time, and it was impossible to leave no one when Hu Yanqing came out, so there was such an unfavorable situation.

I saw that after the smoke cleared, the flagship waved the flag: "Try every way to delay for half an hour!" ”

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom !!"

The violent collision between several of the Tsunade ships and the sea boats announced the advent of white-knuckle warfare. At present, there are less than 2,000 Liangshan recruits who are about to face the challenge of enemies several times their own, not to mention ordinary sailors at this time, even leaders like Cheng Gui and Zhai Yuan, they are all worried in their hearts, and they don't know if they can survive the most severe test in their lives.

"Someone! Escort the military division to go first! Hu Yanqing pulled out his saber and was ready to go into battle in person, but before that, he still had one more thing to do.

"It's a runaway! Brother, do you want the cottage brother to laugh at me Zhu Wu for the rest of my life,......" Zhu Wu exclaimed, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, he was surrounded by a rushing naval army, but he heard Hu Yanqing's order: "Tie up, you can only let go when you reach a safe place!" ”

"Hu Yanqing! Reverse you can't do it? Unexpectedly, he was actually held hostage by a group of sailors, Zhu Wu couldn't help but be furious, only to see that Hu Yanqing owed Zhu Wu a debt, and said solemnly: "If you survive this battle, the little brother will make amends with the military advisor!" ”

Zhu Wu, who was struggling, couldn't help but feel sour at the tip of his nose when he heard this, although he had a thousand words in his heart, he didn't know what to say, and finally just held back a sentence and said: "I'm waiting for you to come back and explain to me in person!" ”

When Hu Yanqing heard this, he smiled generously, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to escort Zhu Wu first, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the flag-bearer on the mast shouting: "Our ships appear in the rear!" Hanging, hanging seems to be the banner of our infantry army!? ”

"What?! Again, what flags are you flying? Hu Yanqing asked anxiously.

"It's really good, it's indeed the banner of the infantry army!" The flag bearer confirmed.

Hu Yanqing and Zhu Wu immediately looked at each other, and they really didn't know what Sun An and Li Kui were doing.

Almost at the same moment, Liu Menglong, who was on the passenger boat lookout, also discovered this situation, hit the platform with a punch, and said with great annoyance: "Oops, I don't want this guy to keep a hand, it seems that this battle is in trouble!" ”

Seeing this, the commander beside him also said: "It's easy to wait for these guys' mysterious weapons to run out, but they have a new force, how can this be good!" ”

After the commander finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, subconsciously turned around, and suddenly found that in the river behind him, there was actually a huge formation of sea ships, this commander made the second monk Zhang puzzled, wondered for a while, and then patted Liu Menglong's armor and said:

"Xianggong! Did we keep a hand too? (To be continued......)
