Chapter Seventy-Nine: Submarines in the Water Margin World

On the wharf of the Yazui Beach Water Village, there are many ships, guns and stones are densely arranged, and the officers and soldiers are bright and well-guarded; Wen Da and Li Chenger held the blades, carried torches, and patrolled left and right, very conscientious.

Among all the official warships, there is only one building ship that is the most conspicuous, this ship has no sails in the bow, there are many oars on both sides, the hull is huge, more than ten zhang high, there are three stories on the deck, there are ship rooms, women's walls and battle grids, and there are countless flags fluttering in the wind.

This building ship was not brought by Liu Menglong's Jinling Naval Division, it was a secret weapon with similar functions that Gao Yu learned from Liang Shanbo's successful experience of using a chain of warships for defense, and relied on the gourd to draw a scoop from the Dengzhou Naval Division. The building ship is huge, can hold 3,000 tigers, which is equivalent to a whole team of serial warships.

However, the advantage of the building ship is that the hull is large, but the disadvantage is also the large hull. Because the hull is too large, the center of gravity must be too high, its safety is not too good, and its ability to resist storms is extremely poor. During the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan, the emperor of Eastern Wu, once ordered the general Dong Xi to supervise the construction of five ships to go to the mouth of the Xukou, but under a storm, all five ships sank.

Therefore, the building ship cannot be used for / sea navigation, and can only be tossed on the great rivers; It cannot be used to charge into battle, but can only be used as a mobile bunker on the water for defense.

Niu Bangxi, the temporary commander of Yazui Beach, was not paralyzed by the deep night outside, he opened his eyes, stood at the highest point of the third floor of the building, and looked at the direction of Liangshanzhai, not daring to relax for a moment.

It's a pity that he stayed for half the night, and he didn't find any big abnormal movement in the direction of Liangshan Shui Village, and the water surface was always quiet, not a little slight.

Niu Bangxi looked up at the sky, only to feel that even the moon above was laughing at himself for being nervous and tossing blindly, and it was estimated that he would have to work hard again tonight.

Just when he was tired and waited to go ashore to rest for a while, a change suddenly occurred, only to hear three rumbling cannon sounds, and three shells that I don't know where they came from, which exploded into the hull of the building, causing fireworks to dance wildly, the building wall collapsed, and countless officers and soldiers stationed on the ship were killed and wounded.

Niu Bangxi was shocked, looked up and saw that the river was still quiet, and he couldn't find half of the enemy's warship, and no matter what enemy sailors and soldiers, they couldn't find where the gun mount was.

He had long heard that Liangshan Bo contained Ling Zhen, the first gunner of the Great Song Dynasty, "Thundering Thunder", and the artillery made by this guy had a very long range, but he couldn't beat the cannon from the golden sand beach to the Yazui Beach across the 800 miles of water.

In the confusion of Niu Bangxi and the officers and soldiers, the mysterious cannon continued to exert its might, the roar continued to roar, the shells shot more and more densely, and the huge building ship became the best ammunition target, and in an instant, it was shot with thousands of holes.

Seeing that the boat was about to sink, Niu Bangxi could only abandon the boat to save his life, he got off the big boat, jumped on a small boat, and only told the accompanying sergeant to row hard, trying to escape to the shore.

As soon as the boat got out of the water, it inexplicably bumped into a strange thing. There was a "cluck" sound, as if it had touched a hard reef, and suddenly the bow of the ship cracked and the deck flooded.

Niu Bangxi didn't stand firm, turned over and fell into the water, fortunately he had good water quality, and a fierce man drilled up from the bottom of the water, poked his head out of the water, and happened to look at the strange thing that had just surfaced.

It is a strange boat shaped like a mussel shell, and a vertical round iron pipe stands in the middle of the hull. The hull of the ship is wrapped in iron armor, and there are eight movable windows on each side that can be closed and opened.

Niu Bangxi has never seen a ship of this style since he was born.

Just when he was confused, the movable window of the mussel shell ship suddenly opened, and eight black hole barrels stretched out, and then the roar started again, and the fire flared up, and poor Gao Taiwei's henchman and favorite general turned into powder in an instant.

At the last moment before Niu Bangxi was about to break his bones, he understood where the artillery fire that hit his own building ship came from.

The shells were all fired from this mussel-husked ship.

This kind of mussel shell ship is the biggest support for Yang Ye's surprise attack on Yazui Village with confidence in victory.

It is the proud work of Baivar Khan, called "the boat of the sinking snail", which can swim underwater, which can accommodate thousands of people, even if it is a heavy ocean and sea, it can fly across, and it is known as having the function of traveling thousands of miles a day and not being afraid of wind and waves.

The Shenluo Boat is actually a submarine in the era of cold weapons, and Yang Ye and other Liangshan heroes have this kind of weapon, so they can sneak into the vicinity of the enemy's command ship without knowing it, and launch the most accurate kill.

The cannons on the hull were all wind cannons created by Lei Lingzhen himself. Generally speaking, they have a long range and strong power, and Zhao Min prompted them to be further improved by Baivar Khan, and these cannons have added new functions of waterproof and continuous bombardment, thus becoming a more terrifying killing weapon - underwater cannons.

Yang Ye's snailboat fleet hid under deep water, from the bottom up, and used underwater cannons to bombard the building ship remotely.

As a result, without any loss at all, they destroyed the water defense fortress that Gao Yu had painstakingly transported.

Not long after Niu Bangxi was ambushed, the building ship from Dengzhou could not withstand the infinite bombardment of the continuous shells, and followed the footsteps of his own master and went to the deepest part of the 800-mile water to settle down.

Just when the defense line on the water was being wiped out under the continuous artillery fire of the submarine, the sound of killing on the land of Yazui Beach was boiling, and the fierce fighting was in full swing.

The snackboat piloted by Hua Rong and Zhang Qing sneaked underwater, avoided the frontal defense line of the officers and soldiers, and went ashore from the Luosi Port and Laomiao Bay on both wings respectively, driving the countless elite infantry hidden in the boat, shouting Zhentian, and covering up from behind the officers and soldiers.

Wen Da and Li Cheng arranged a lot of patrol ships on the two wings of Luosi Port and Laomiao Bay to strictly prevent the sneak attack of the Liangshan army, and they did not receive any reminder, so they only cared about dealing with the underwater artillery bombardment of Yang Ye in front of them, but they did not guard against the appearance of more vicious enemies on the two wings.

Bright plank road, dark Chen Cang! Yang Ye's attack on Lou's ships was just a surprise soldier to attract the enemy's attention, and only Hua Rong and Zhang Qing's troops were the key to sealing their throats with a sword and deciding the victory.

Wen Da and Li Cheng are good at defense, but they are not good at improvisation, so they can't be dual-purpose, and it is difficult to organize defense in a timely and effective manner.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Li Guanghuarong swished and shot arrows, and every time he bent his bow and arrows, he would definitely be able to take a life; Zhang Qing's gesture without feathers and arrows was like Zhao Bao Qilang, calmly swaying, and the flying locusts were all over the sky, and all the enemy troops who were in the way had to have blue noses and swollen faces and unrecognizable faces.

In the melee, the essence of the army of the Great Song Dynasty was once again exposed, and these teams recruited by Gao Taiwei could only play with the wind, and once they encountered a strong enemy, they could not exert their combat effectiveness normally, and it was most likely to lose every inch and cause a rout on the whole line.

Wen Da and Li Cheng were just pure tiger generals, and they did not have the same excellent command ability as Xu Huai, Bai Jie, Yun Tianbiao and others, so they could not overcome the essential weakness of the army of the Great Song Dynasty when they were commanders and led the team.

In the shouting of Zhentian, the heroes of Liangshan became more and more courageous, and the officers and soldiers were like headless flies, and the more they fought, the more they scattered, they only hated that the grandmother had one less leg, and they all jumped into the water to escape for their lives.

Wen Da saw these tofu soldiers with him, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, since the soldiers under his command were unreliable, he could only rely on the big knife in his hand, with his own good martial arts, under the swords and guns of the Liangshan thieves, he struggled to find a life.

I only heard him roar, urging the curly-haired red rabbit horse under the seat, holding a big knife, bravely fighting into the chaotic army formation, the sword light rolled up, the blade shadow flashed cold, showing the demeanor of a fierce general, no one dared to stop it, and the offensive of the Liangshan army was suddenly contained.

Xiao Li Guanghuarong is strong, and when he saw Wen Da's murder, he immediately became angry, and he broke off: "Wen Da Xiao'er, don't be rampant, dare to fight with your grandfather Hua." ”

After that, Hua Rong rode his horse and raised his gun, and came to fight Wenda, and the two fought in the Yazui Beach Water Village, with guns and knives, four arms swaying, eight horses' hooves slamming, and fighting for 20 rounds in a row, regardless of victory or defeat.

Hua Rong saw that Wenda's knife skills were neat, and it was not easy to win with the silver spear in his hand, so he immediately decided to use archery to win.

Wen Dayi is bold, he wants to take the lead, capture Hua Rong, reverse the defeat, go to the horse, Hua Rong twists his body, shoots an arrow from his back, and the arrow pierces like lightning, and the face comes.

That Wenda learned the ability to catch arrows with one hand since childhood, and shouted in his mouth: "Good", when he shot like catching the wind and taking the moon, lightly, he caught this arrow in his hand, he was waiting to be proud, and when he wanted to laugh at Hua Rong, the bowstring sounded again, and the second arrow had already followed.

Even Li Zongtang can shoot a series of arrows, so how could Hua Rong, the most powerful archer in the Water Margin world, not understand this hand.

"Click", Hua Rong's carved wolf tooth arrow hit the target, Wen Da belly early, screamed, turned over and fell off the horse, and was already caught up by the infantry minions, each raising a sharp blade, chopping with a knife, chopping an inhuman shape.

It turned out that before leaving, Yang Ye had explained the discipline to everyone, this one was to fight a war of annihilation, for the enemy, kill if you can, it is best not to leave any prisoners, especially Wen Da and Li Cheng, who must be killed.

Yang Ye is not a person who loves to kill, and he issued this decision with his considerations, because in the plot of "Dangkou Zhi", there was a story of Li Cheng being captured by Liang Shan and surrendering, and then killing the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi.

Wen Da and Li Cheng are old colleagues and good friends of Yang Zhi and Suo Chao, if they are caught in Liangshan and taken prisoner, they will inevitably be interceded by these two righteous heroes, thus leaving one alive, but these two poisonous snakes will definitely not talk about friendship with Yang Zhi and Suo Chao.

During the First Battle of Yanshan, Yang Ye had already learned the viciousness and despicability of the Lei Generals, so he must not allow this potential danger to appear on Liangshan again.

Therefore, Wenda and Li Cheng must die!

Li Cheng is indeed not far from death, his opponent is Zhang Qing, who has no feather arrows, and the two of them stumbled with their guns, and the fight was very fierce. That Zhang Qing only has the ability to fight with flying stones, but the marksmanship in his hand is slow, so he can't resist Li Cheng's gun, only the ability to parry, and has no power to fight back.

Without a feather arrow, a cyan meteor flashed, Li Cheng couldn't dodge, and he was hit the face.

To say that Zhang Qing's flying locust stone is extremely sharp and can penetrate the armor and seriously injure the enemy, ordinary people will eat this one, it must be a broken ending. But Li Cheng's skin was extremely hard, as thick as a city wall, and the flying locust stones could only make him feel a slight pain, but it was not broken.

Zhang Qing saw that the flying locust stones couldn't penetrate Li Cheng's face, so he could only return to the battle, Li Cheng was reluctant to chase after the horse, but he didn't guard against his horse's head, and a white figure flashed like a cloud.

Li Cheng fixed his eyes and recognized that it was the white-clothed swordsman who was fighting the innate master Yan Shude at the foot of Liangshan Bo Mountain, and he was suddenly frightened: he knew that his ability was definitely not Yan Shude's opponent, but this swordsman was a fierce man of the same grade as Yan Shude.

But he wanted to escape, but how could Yang Ye let him go, this trip he personally brought soldiers and killed Li Cheng was also one of the main purposes.

Yang Ye waved his hand, and the four-cornered gold bricks shook his hand and threw it, Li Chengfei's old wounds on the locust stone had not disappeared, and the new injuries were regenerated, only one brick, and this guy was groggy, but cheeky was cheeky in the end, even the gold bricks couldn't smash his face.

"It's really a cheeky man who is unparalleled in the world."

Even Yang Ye had to be amazed, and he didn't dare to continue to provoke Li Cheng's cheeky defense.

He "can", pulled out the Guiling Seven Treasure Knife, held the tip of the blade of the knife with one hand, held the whole knife like a full moon, and then jumped up, showing the momentum of a rising dragon, and went straight to Li Cheng's neck and throat!

"Flying Sword, Flowing Dragon, Flashing!"
