Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

There was a deafening roar on the surface of the river, and it was the beating pole set up on the large combat ships in the Gangneung Boat Division that made such a loud noise.

These rings are placed on the inside of the ship's side, and they fall down every time they come to the enemy, and they can directly smash small boats. At the same time, it can also be used to attack the enemy's water fence and city, smashing the pole and smashing the wood and stones, which is not inferior to the Heyang cannon that Li Tai relied on to attack the city, but it is limited by the carrier of the ship and the material of the slap rod, and cannot carry out long-distance offensive strikes.

When the Jiangling army led by Wang Shengbi fought endlessly with the rebel soldiers on the river and along the coast, Li Tai also came directly to the periphery of the battlefield and watched the battle from afar.

The Jiangling Naval Division can be said to be the most elite water warfare army today, Wang Seng Bian is also the world's first-class water battle general, many large and small warships under the command of Wang Seng Biao on the river to display battle formations, all kinds of boats and ships advance and retreat and tactical changes are dazzling.

Seeing that the fleet of the chaotic army was quickly outflanked and disintegrated and defeated, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh: "The Jiangling Boat Division is worthy of the grand brigade, and Wang Shengbi is also a famous general. ”

"The monk's argument and use of soldiers is indeed ingenious, no wonder the king of Xiangdong treats him so kindly and courteously, and the masses are not as good as him. The deeds before and after are commendable, and now they are responsible for the thief, looking at their actions, it is indeed worthwhile! ”

Standing behind Li Tai and watching the battle together was Xu Wensheng, after a period of recuperation and adjustment, his physical condition improved slightly, but he still looked a little old and haggard compared to when Li Tai first saw him.

Hearing Xu Wensheng's praise for Wang Sengbi, Li Tai sighed again and said: "If it weren't for the misunderstandings before, which caused General Xu to stay here, I think General Xu is also fighting bravely to kill thieves in the formation now." ”

Although he knew in his heart that even if Xu Wensheng returned to Jiangling, he might not have his share in leading the army to kill the enemy, and he would probably be in prison at this time. But in order to make Xu Wensheng more desperate for Nanliang, he still said so at this time.

Sure enough, Xu Wensheng sneered twice after hearing this, and said with hatred: "The king of Xiangdong is stubborn and suspicious, but now although he is in charge of the country because of fate, he is so that the crowd tends to vote. But this person is not broad-minded, and hypocritical and jealous, even if Hou Jing was defeated by his hands, it was not due to his wisdom and strategy, but because of the murderous people!

Xiangdong is such a material, after all, it is difficult to become the master of Zhongxing, and Liang Ye returns to it, which is the abandonment of his country! Although the monk has miraculous skills, he will not die in battle, and if he dies, the ending may not be better than Wensheng. ”

Although Xu Wensheng's remarks do not rule out extremely malicious speculation about Jiangling because of his own situation, it has to be said that his words are indeed to the point.

The king of Xiangdong is far from meeting the standard of undertaking the task of leading the Southern Liang regime from chaos to rule in terms of pattern and quantity, including political wisdom and means.

Take the rebellion of Wang Lin's subordinates as an example, it is obvious that the king of Xiangdong is still using an arrogant posture to deal with his subordinate generals, ignoring the fact that these generals actually have a very considerable strength after the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the result is only to make himself disgraced and his authority decline.

Perhaps because of arrogance, or because they didn't know how to deal with the surging warriors, in short, after the Hou Jing Rebellion was put down, the regime of Emperor Liang Yuan in Jiangling did not show the vitality of a regime that was in turmoil, but the internal estrangement became deeper and deeper. With the breach of Gangneung and the sneak attack on Wang Sengbi, all possibilities for the regime's self-evolution were cut off.

Under the exquisite command of Wang Sengbi, the battle on the river soon ended, and the Jiangling boat division became more imposing. The defenders of Lushan were also terrified at this time, and when they saw the army coming, they retreated after a little confrontation.

Although the battle is still going on, the Gangneung side has already locked in victory, and all that remains is to gradually clear the remnants and clean up the battlefield.

Seeing this, Li Tai did not continue to watch the battle, but ordered the boats to withdraw to the water camp north of Lushan and wait for the Wang monk to negotiate with him. On the side of Lushan is Xiakou, and since the army of Gangneung has recovered this place, then it is naturally the time to fulfill the agreement.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Tai got up from his own camp, he was told that a small team of the Jiangling Boat Division was turning from the Yangtze River to the Hanshui channel and coming straight to the water camp here.

Li Tai also felt in his heart that Wang Seng's argument was quite interesting, and it seemed that he had just sent someone to see him after cleaning up the battlefield and controlling the situation, and his attitude was also courteous.

However, as soon as he turned this thought, the slap in the face came.

Several loud noises suddenly came from the periphery of the water camp, and when Li Tai went out of the tent to check on the heights, he saw a large ship more than 30 meters long being outside the water camp, and several slap rods had smashed down on the side facing the water camp, smashing the floating water grates on the periphery of the water camp. Looking at this posture, where is it to negotiate and fulfill the agreement, it is clear that it is to demonstrate or even attack!

Seeing this scene, Li Tai's face turned pale, and before he could order his troops to fight back, he heard the shouts of Jiangling soldiers from the big ship outside: "Jiangling Wang Yizhou told General Li of Wei that our army is strong and full of thieves, and there is no need for the Wei army to help fight from the side, and you and other soldiers will quickly withdraw from the river." Otherwise, the ships will be injured in a moment, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

On the Jiangling side, Wang Lin, the assassin of Yizhou, was also a confidant of the Xiangdong Palace, and when he heard the shouts and intimidation of these sergeants on the big ship, Li Tai was even more angry in his heart.

It has been a few years since he debuted, and more and more people have dared to ridicule and provoke him so directly, but he didn't want this Wang Lin to not only ignore the previous agreement, but also send ships here to show off his might.

"Wang Lin is just a reckless martial artist under the house, what kind of statement and action he has is definitely not the intention of the main general of the upper peak! The last general asked the southern army to send a large camp to ask what the southern army wanted. ”

Seeing that Li Tai's face was full of anger, Wang Xuan, who was standing in the ranks of the pro-soldiers, hurriedly flashed out, approached and bowed and said.

Hearing Wang Xuan say this, Li Tai's mood calmed down slightly.

He looked at the boat division team outside the camp consisting of a large ship and several warships, and then looked at the number and types of boats moored in his water camp, which were a little chaotic, and knew that the reason why Wang Lin had the courage to dare to provoke must be because he saw that their naval ships were mixed and the formation was scattered and he was contemptuous.

Although it is said that this is Wang Lin's private action, it is also an indisputable fact that his own naval army is far less majestic than the Jiangling Boat Division, and other Jiangling generals may also think like Wang Lin, but they are not as exposed as Wang Lin.

In such a situation, it doesn't matter what Wang Sangbi means. Even if he had the heart to marry Li Tai, he would not go against the wishes of the Jiangling soldiers and send an envoy to ask, but he would only bring humiliation on himself.

Li Tai knew that the water surface was not his advantage, and after a little groaning, he ordered the soldiers who had already boarded the ship to prepare for the battle to get off the ship one after another, and shouted in front of the crew: "If Wang Zhengdong still does not send an envoy to see him before sunset, the previous agreement between Jiangling and our country will be nullified!" You and other fanatics and hope that the rivers and lakes are vast, you can wander for the rest of your life, once you set foot on the ground in Jiangbei, that is, the day of the award! ”

The Gangneung division won a series of victories, and many people did not take this threatening words in their eyes, and responded with laughter and ridicule. But not everyone was so frivolous, and when they heard what the Wei people said so resolutely, they hurriedly returned to the camp in a light boat.

Li Tai ordered the gate of the water camp to be sealed, and the soldiers were ferryed ashore and set up camp on land, and the harbor water camp, including the ships moored inside, were all abandoned.

The implication of such a gesture is self-evident, the Jiangling Naval Division is indeed majestic, and it is difficult for the people and horses of the north to be the enemy, so the Liang people had better divide Jiangling City into small pieces and load them into the river, otherwise they will be trampled by iron horses!

After seeing the Wei people's state, the soldiers of Wang Lin's subordinates, who were still showing off their might in the waterway, couldn't help but feel that the situation seemed to be a bit serious, so they didn't dare to continue wandering here, and they turned their boats and returned to the river.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the early afternoon, when it was still more than two hours before it was too dark, another fleet of ships sailed into the Hanshui channel and came to the blocked gate of the water camp to linger and invite in.

With such an unpleasant experience before, Li Tai certainly wouldn't agree to their request casually.

So after a stalemate for a while, an uncovered raft was lowered on the opposite ship, and a young strong man with a naked body and his arms tied behind his back was escorted by several armor guards to board the raft and come to the camp gate.

The young man knelt on the raft, and the guards on both sides shouted loudly: "Yizhou Assassin Wang Lin is rude and offended General Li of Wei, Wang Zhengdong will escort the criminals here, please General Li open the door and accept him, please let Wang Zhengdong enter in person, please forgive me!" ”

"A certain is indeed Wang Lin, the former is crazy and offends your brigade, and Lin has done it, and there is no other way! The sin is so far, please General Li to punish him, don't lose the harmony between the two states because of the guilt! ”

Wang Lin, a young man kneeling on the raft, also raised his head and shouted towards the camp gate.
