Chapter Seventy-Four: The Golden Beach Counterattack
The lights in the golden sand beach water village are bright, and there is a big man sitting in the middle, thirty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not angry but mighty, it is the leader of the water army, Li Jun, and there is a hero standing in Li Jun's drooping hand, this person is a few years younger than Li Jun, six feet five or six in stature, three willows cover his mouth and black hair, and his body is like white flesh.
This hero is even more remarkable, he is the best person in the water among the leaders of the Liangshan Water Army, he can lie under the water for seven days and seven nights, and he is as fast as a white strip when swimming in the water, and he has a good martial arts, so he is given the nickname "White Strip in the Waves" Zhang Shun.
But at this time, whether it was Li Jun or Zhang Shun, their faces were full of worries, and their four eyes were staring at the outside of the account, just waiting to report the news from Tanma.
Suddenly, the direction of Yazui Beach was blazing, and Li Jun saw it through the window, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not good, it seems that the officers and soldiers have already broken through Yazui Beach." ”
Zhang Shun was surprised: "How could it be defeated so quickly, there are hundreds of elite naval troops led by my elder brother and two Tong brothers to guard, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the imperial court naval army is, it is impossible to ...... so easily."
Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent, and a group of sailors walked in carrying Zhang Heng, who was full of arrows.
When Zhang Shun saw his brother who was seriously injured and his life and death unknown, he couldn't help but rush down to the hall to ask, and the soldiers who escaped from Yazui Beach with Zhang Heng reported to them all about the battle.
Hearing the introduction, Zhang Shun couldn't help but be furious, picked up the bitter bamboo gun, put on a special iron coat designed to prevent arrows, and rushed out to seek revenge from the official army.
Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, shouted: "Brother Zhang Shun is slow, don't act recklessly, now it seems that this officer and army already know the detailed ambush location of my Liangshan Water Army, you have no direction and no goal to take revenge, just send it to death in vain." ”
Hearing Li Jun speak like this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but stop, turned his head and asked: "Brother, why did you say this, the details of the defense of my Liangshan Water Army are only known to the one hundred and eight leaders who left their names in Shijie, even if it is the Huyan leader of Zhaoxian Hall, they don't know about it, where did the officers and soldiers learn about this information?" ”
Li Jun said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang Shun, have you forgotten the story after King Chao and they robbed the Birth Gang?" Bai Sheng, the day rat, is also a tough iron man, but he still did not bear the punishment of the government. We in Liangshan, now there is also a leader who has fallen into the hands of the government. ”
Zhang Shun suddenly woke up and said, "Isn't it the little overlord Zhou Tong who betrayed our Liangshan Water Army?" No wonder our navy was so badly defeated. ”
Li Jun sighed and said: "It's not about betrayal, it's just a living sin that is uncomfortable, and if you and I change it, we may not be able to endure it, so there is no need to be harsh." At present, the urgent matter for us to do is how to deal with the round-up by the officials and soldiers according to the map. ”
Zhang Shun asked, "Brother, Zhang Shun obeys your orders." ”
Li Jun said: "Okay, please Zhang Shun brothers immediately contact the three heroes of the Ruan family, ask them to gather all the water army, and return to the Golden Beach together, with their official army 36 roads, we only meet all the way." ”
Zhang Shun was about to go as ordered, but there was bustling applause outside the tent, Li Jun raised his head and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The curtain was lifted, and two Confucian scholars and a woman entered, and when Li Jun saw it, he immediately stepped down from the main house to greet him, and sang in his mouth: "Master Zhu, why did you rush over." ”
Li Jun recognized that the person who was clapping his hands outside the account was Zhu Wu, the deputy military division of Shenji Military Division, and one of the people who followed him was an old general of Huaixi, who was also a formation master, Xi Sheng; The other is a strange woman with a mysterious identity who showed her style in the battle of Tokyo, and Mrs. Zhao, who is now the deputy leader of Zhaoxian Hall.
Zhu Wu said to Li Jun with a voice of approval: "Brother, although you are a martial artist, you are better than ordinary military advisors in judging the accuracy of military aircraft, you are really a good general of my Liangshanbo, and the judgment you just made is very right, and the result of the discussion is exactly the same as that of the Song leader and Wu Junshi, and your countermeasures are also right, which is to concentrate superior forces and use the terrain of Golden Beach to resist the enemy." ”
Zhang Shun immediately responded to the order, went out of the big tent to fire arrows, lit beacon fires, summoned the three heroes of the Ruan family, gathered the sailors scattered in the reeds, and drove the boat to the golden beach to concentrate on defense.
After Li Jun waited for Zhang Shun to go out, the sadness on his face did not fade at all, and asked Zhu Wudao: "Master Zhu, I just heard from the brothers who escaped from Yazui Beach that there are quite a few fierce generals in the official camp, all of whom have the power of tigers and wolves, and know how to fight very well. ”
Zhu Wu said with a smile: "It's okay to do this, when facing the enemy, we have to come and make clever plans, and our strength is invincible, let their water generals bravely crown the three armies again, and they will still have no return." ”
Xu Huai sat firmly in a ship, with Bai Jie sitting next to him, and Yan Shude standing behind him, just waiting to hear the news from the officials and soldiers.
The news I heard at the beginning was excellent, the two fierce generals Wei Yangyin and Li Zongtang, who were transformed by the bamboo shoot crown immortals, were not only fierce on land, but also brave in water warfare, and it was their credit to capture Yazui Village, and they also took the head of the Tong brothers, the leaders of the Liangshan Water Army.
But the more you go to the back, the worse the news becomes, there are fewer and fewer latent sailors who are surrounded and beaten by the official army in the reeds, and the deployment of the Liangshan Water Division has changed, shrinking from the scattered mode to the iron bucket mode.
Xu Huai listened to the news, and focused his eyes on the golden sand beach marker in the topographic map, and his face sank like water: "These thieves are obedient to the army, and they should become quick." Now I'm afraid that I can't use surprise soldiers, so I can only rely on the regular soldiers to crush them, and the brave will win in a narrow encounter. ”
Bai Jie said with a smile: "It's okay, after the continuous battle just now, the vitality of the Liangshan Water Army has been injured, even if they gather troops, they can't stop the thunderous bombardment of our army, and when the time comes, you can ask Wei and Li to charge in front of the two water warriors, relying on force to blast away their iron bucket defense, as long as they capture the golden beach, this battle is half the victory." ”
Xu Huai said: "Don't be careless, Liangshan Shuishi is famous all over the world, and today we are defeated only because of the intelligence, if it is the water, my team alone will not be able to bear it, fortunately, we have other powerful forces to help in this battle."
As soon as the words fell, his command ship issued a flag, and the Jinling Navy Division commanded by Liu Menglong came in the wind and waves and hurried to Jinsha.
At the same time, Ren Sen also began to gather the 36 teams of officers and soldiers, no longer continued to engage in pursuit and killing operations in the reeds, and turned strange soldiers into dignified soldiers, and completely concentrated the scattered forces.
Liangshan Shui Zhai Golden Beach!
When Xu Huai and Liu Menglong's huge fleet of sailors arrived at Jinsha, Liangshan's army had been waiting for a long time, and they gathered all the warships of the four water villages, connected them by iron cables, and formed a chain of warships, and made a standard iron cable across the river!
Connected by iron cables, the small boats of Yangsan were combined into large ships, which could not only run horses on the boats, but also chariots.
Seeing Liang Shan arranging the formation like this, Ren Sen sneered and said: "Sure enough, it is an ignorant bandit, and he dares to set up a chain of boats, he really kills himself, so he is not afraid of our army's fire attack?" ”
Xu Huai said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, there are quite resourceful people among the thieves in Liangshan, and they may not leave such a big loophole for us to drill." ”
Ren Sen said: "If you don't try, how can you know that it doesn't work." With that, he called out, and immediately prepared more than 100 fireboats, placed them with fire-burning sulfur and other materials, and ignited them together, so that the sailors who knew how to move towards Liangshan were pushed away.
Li Jun, Zhao Min, and Zhu Wu stood quietly on the chain boat and watched the reaction of the enemy on the opposite side, and suddenly saw the flames soaring into the sky, and countless small fire-burning boats rushed towards the formation like fire dragons, and they couldn't help but laugh at each other.
Zhu Wu shook the feather fan lightly and commanded loudly: "Brother Fan Rui, if you don't show your skills at this time, when will you stay?" ”
Someone on the distant warship had already responded with a smile: "Don't work for the military division's orders." "It turned out that on this boat, there was another big * mage on Liangshan, "Demon King of the Mixed World" Fan Rui.
I saw this all-true gentleman Fan Rui, holding the meteor hammer, holding a sword of the Demon King of the Mixed World in his right hand, chanting words in his mouth, and shouting: "Disease! ”
But when I saw the wind and the wind swirling, the sand flew and the rocks were gone; The sky was dark, the sun was dark, and the fires set up by the officers and soldiers were turned around by the wind and burned straight towards the Jinling Naval Division.
Ren Sen saw the firelight coming back, he was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, fortunately Xu Huai was already on guard, Bai Jie next to him took out a piece of talisman paper, and bowed down after the sacrifice to the air, just reading in his mouth:
"Save the suffering and save the bamboo crown immortals, the believer Bai Jie prays, and please rain from the sky!"
The spell took effect, the weather changed again, and the torrential rain poured down, drenching all the soldiers and generals in front of the two armies, and also extinguishing the officers and soldiers themselves, and almost burning their own fires.
In the wind and rain, Zhao Min gently brushed his long hair and smiled faintly at Zhu Wu: "The official army is not simple, it seems that there is a fierce battle today, and it is impossible to save it." ”
Zhu Wu replied: "Although the Immortal Dao Technique is powerful, it is not a dignified formation in the end, the two armies are facing off, and the equipment, formation and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers are the key to victory." ”
Zhao Min said: "After a long absence, the two gentlemen's formation attainments are superb, and today the slave family must observe carefully, so that you can learn your formation." ”
Xi Sheng had already waved the command flag, and the ironclad chain ships of the Liangshan Water Division instantly changed formations, the two-wing ships moved forward, and the middle ships remained on alert, and they actually put on a half-moon shaped formation.
A cannon sound on the Golden Beach Water Village shook the sky, and the entire iron chain fleet moved in unison in an instant, the two wings advanced first, the middle advanced behind, and began to attack in an orderly manner.
Liu Menglong and Ren Sen saw that the Liangshan fleet was like a huge beast, bursting in with its mouth open, and they couldn't think of any special conquest strategy for a while, so they could only issue orders and rush with hundreds of ships to fight hard.
Li Zongtang and Wei Yangyin, two tiger generals, led the elite naval division to advance in the middle and directly took the command ship of the Liangshan Army.
Just as they were charging, dozens of wind cannons, sub-cannons, trebuchets and bed crossbows suddenly launched from the chain ship in the middle of this strange arc array.
Looking at the long-range lethal strikes that filled the sky and rivers, the two 10,000 enemies catalyzed by the spells of the bamboo shoot crown immortals finally exposed the cowardly nature of their sheep herds and farming men.
They were actually scared to pee, and the two strands instantly wet.
Xu Huai looked at the Liangshan army expelling such a formation, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind: Not good! It turned out that this guy used the moon array created by Liu Jinu!
