The boats were engulfed in flames, and the wood mixed with flammable materials burned more and more. Until the forbidden army ships that touched the small boats were set on fire. Billowing black smoke rose rapidly, causing the janissaries on the ship to cough incessantly.

Zhao Tan, who observed this scene in the Chinese army, witnessed it with his own eyes, but hated not to listen to Liu Menglong's advice. But now is not the time to regret it, don't mess up with the roar like thunder. On the one hand, the rear ships were ordered to disperse, and on the other hand, the response was organized.

But the flames spread too fast!

The sailors of the Northern Song Dynasty did not have ships covered with raw cowhides, and most of them were squid boats or loach boats. In order to prevent the hull from being soaked in water for a long time and leaking, the hull is brushed with tung oil, the hull is all material structure, and the wood used is dry, very light and thin, and the whole hull is flammable.

In a short period of time, more than two dozen ships approaching the front were ignited.

Some of the officers and men on the ship went around to put out the fire, some shouted in panic, some shouted for the enemy attack, and many more still wanted to escape to the boat behind. There was an unfortunate egg that was engulfed in flames and let out a terrible scream.

Crying, screaming, and falling water were mixed together. And as the fire grew stronger, more and more ships were in chaos.

Even the mist that permeated the waters was evaporated.

The Liangshan Water Army was like a tide coming, and the people on the boat were fierce and vicious, jumping to their feet and shouting: "Kill, kill the officers and soldiers, don't let Chao Gai run away!" ”

Well, the grandchildren of the 18th Taibao of Liangshan are here, where are you going to escape? ”

"Wow, ......, Su Ding'er, you kill my brother, take your life!"

Liangshan's general dragon slayer, Sun An, personally commanded the army and quickly killed the forbidden army fleet. Viciously killing Shenshan Shiqi, touching Tian Duqian and the others will scream wow.

Ignore the ignition of the boats, ignore the screams. Leave a few boats to salvage the sky divers and bypass the flotilla that pounced on the flotilla.

A large group of archers, under the command of the general, scatter or throw at a fixed point. The bowstring fluttered, and the three-edged armor-piercing cones fell, and the rockets fell into the fleet. People were constantly being shot and screaming, and the flames were raging to increase the disturbance.

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire, crossbowmen, and return fire."

Zhao Tan, the commander of the soldiers and horses, saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, and saw the other party rushing forward. Ran on the deck and yelled, ordering the flag bearer to give orders.

Unfortunately, when the fleet was in a panic, the flag communication effect was not great. The ships surrounding the flagship did not decrease but increased, and retreated in clusters.

The ships were constantly greeted with a rain of arrows, and people were constantly being shot and screaming. The soldiers of the forbidden army were furious and braved the rain of arrows to fight back.

It was a pity that the opposing ships were out of range of bows and arrows.

More than ninety percent of the arrows flew into the air and fell limply into the water.

"Quick, there is a problem with the opponent's bow and arrow, use bed arrows."

"The ships are too dense to aim at all, get out of the way, get out of the way."

"Didn't Lao Tzu ask you to pass the order? Spread out and spread out. ”

The panicked roar of the soldiers, the curse of the captain, the thunderous shouting of Zhao Tan ......, the command of the fleet was chaotic, and the fleet fought separately.

It's messy and unsightly.

Seeing this, Liu Menglong couldn't care about the laity to guide the insider, so he asked people to blow the horn to control the fleet on the left, and ring the gong to notify the ship on the right to obey the order. The sound of trumpets and gongs is rhythmic and spreads far away.

Plus on the lookout, the flag bearer constantly waved the flag.

The ships, which had been crowded together, gradually spread out and took on a battle posture.

"No wonder my brother takes a fancy to this person, it's really extraordinary, it's a pity." The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi has been paying attention to the two military chiefs, and when he saw that Liu Menglong dealt with it properly, he sighed, but it was too late, how could Liang Shan be defenseless?

Just when the forbidden army fleet was rapidly moving, the sound of killing on the left and right shook the sky.

"Kill, kill the officers and soldiers, capture Su Ding alive, Zhao Tan dog thief."

"Well, all the heroes of Liangshan are here, where are you going?"

"Wow, the eighteenth Taibao and the third Taibao of Liangshan are coming, kill me."

The sound of gongs and shouts of killing approached quickly and was deafening.

The soldiers of the forbidden army who had just settled down on the outer ship raised their hearts to their throats again, and looked nervously at the left and right, only to see the mist rolling and stirring. A large black shadow approached, and the mist dispersed to reveal a dense warship.

Rushing like an arrow from a string.

On the left is the leopard head Lin Chong leading the team, and on the right is the golden gunner Xu Ning sitting in the fleet. and the dragon slayer Sun An in front of him formed a circle of encirclement.

Still in the distance, a large number of archers began to release their arrows, swishing incessantly, and the arrows were like flying locusts. The soldiers of the forbidden army were constantly shot, and the lucky ones were killed directly, and the unlucky ones fell to the ground screaming, and the blood stained the deck.

Boom, several loud noises flew up from afar.

A child's arm-thick crossbow arrows were destroyed one after another in the ship's command room.

It was a bed crossbow.

Why do strongmen have such murderous weapons?

Some of the veterans knew its power and had a look of horror on their faces. Those recruits have been training for less than three months, how have they ever seen such a scene? It was okay to fight a tailwind battle, but there were setbacks one after another, and the army's morale was suddenly in turmoil.

Some lead the way, and others follow. Roaring and scolding and running in all directions, dodging the ubiquitous arrows, panic affecting the sailors below. As a result, the newly mobilized fleet was again chaotic and more crowded.

No matter how the flagship commands, it is also in vain.

"It's over, it's over!" Liu Menglong noticed the abnormality on both sides, and saw the two huge fleets on the left and right speeding up, and his face turned pale.

He understood that his side was encircled by the enemy, and was caught in the middle of a three-sided attack. The flotilla was unable to launch an effective return fire and was doomed to heavy losses.

In Liu Menglong's desperate murmur, in the panicked roar of the soldiers on the ship, in Zhao Tan's unwilling and helpless eyes. With a loud bang, the Liangshan Water Army that came out from the left and right crossed into the forbidden fleet.

With its huge size, the Liangshanlou boat crashed into the squid boat that was blocking the way one after another, and even almost overturned, and many soldiers on board were unstable on their feet and planted in the water.

The ships behind followed, ramming the forbidden army fleet, expanding the results, and the prepared springboard was built, and a group of strongmen shouted to board the ship to engage in the battle. The ships that were still behind scattered, and the archers fired wildly.

The forbidden army was already panicked, and then it was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The strongmen of Liangshan are like tigers and wolves, cooperating with tacit understanding, and the forbidden army that they killed is losing and retreating. Either they were knocked to the ground, or they surrendered a little invincible.

Arrows rained down everywhere, and the flagbearer on the flagship planted the lookout. He fell on the deck, his mouth was blistering with blood, and he was not alive. Liu Menglong gradually came back to his senses and touched the blood splashed on his face. I also saw that the strong man of Liangshan was like a rainbow, and the forbidden army was defeated and retreated.

Understand that defeat is assured, and there is no way to turn the tide of the battle.

Thinking of offending the eunuchs to suppress the bandits, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat after returning from defeat. Tong Guan Asylum? If you can keep it for a while, how can you keep it for a lifetime?

Liu Menglong, the commander of the command, knew that the officialdom was dark, and thought that his life would be at risk at any time when he returned alive, and even affected his family a little miserably. The death of the nest like this, obscurity, is too worthless.

Instead of being killed in the dark officialdom, it is better to find another way. Between fame and fate, Liu Menglong chose the latter, decisively took off his leather armor, braved arrows, and rushed into the water while people were not paying attention to the side of the ship.

The icy water of the lake made him shiver all over, but he gritted his teeth and plunged into the water, swimming towards the Liangshan army like a swimming fish. Contrary to the battlefield, it forms a beautiful landscape.

Due to the fierce fighting between the two sides, no one noticed this abnormal guy.

The Liangshan Shui army came prepared, except that they looked rabble. However, they were well-equipped and brave in battle, and quickly occupied one forbidden ship after another. The peripheral ships cooperated with the army and launched an encirclement and suppression like a tide.

Although the Forbidden Fleet was large, it was divided and eaten.

On the flagship, several commanders rushed to Zhao Tan: "My lord, the enemy is attacking the fleet on three sides, the offensive is too fierce, and the recruits can't stop it, so let's withdraw?" ”

"Zhao Dujian, hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave."

Zhao Tan watched his side being ambushed and retreating, roaring like thunder, commanding the battle, his voice was hoarse, and when he saw several officers running to retreat, he was furious, and his red eyes stared at a few guys and wanted to draw their knives.

He Zhao Tan's chest was slapping loudly before he set out for the expedition, how could he retreat? How can you be willing to fail again? How do you explain it?

Everything made it impossible for him to retreat, to hold on.

Yang Zhi led the team to rush to the deck to guard and arm. Turned around and yelled at Zhao Tan, who was stunned: "Retreat!" Nothing can be done, but the vitality is preserved. Find an excuse to recruit troops, and wait until you have accumulated strength before fighting to the death. ”

Maybe it was Yang Zhi's words that poked Zhao Tan's heart and shuddered. Yang Zhi is right, once he is caught, everything will be over.

"Ah, retreat, this revenge is not in vain!" Zhao Tan looked at the black smoke billowing from the ships in front, the soldiers fell into the water to call for help, and the peripheral ships on the left and right wings occupied one by one, giving orders almost word by word.

Several commanders breathed a sigh of relief and began to assist in directing the retreat. With the rapid sound of the horn, the ships roared like thunder, and those ships that had not yet collided with the enemy retreated. The rearmost one quickly turned around.

The forbidden fleet ran away, where would Liangshan Water Division let it go?

"Brothers, don't let them run?"

"Hahaha, shrinking turtle, quickly catch the generals of the official army."

As the shouts of killing resounded, the sounds of laying down weapons and surrendering without killing sounded everywhere. Originally, there was still some bloody forbidden soldiers, ready to fight to the death. I saw my flagship turn around and run away, and my heart was half cold.

They were decisively abandoned by the generals and chose to surrender one after another.

Xu Ning, the golden gunner of the Liangshan Water Division, led people to salvage the forbidden army in the water and clean up the battlefield. The dragon slayer Sun An and the leopard head Lin Chong led the team to continue the pursuit. After most of the hour, I didn't return until I saw the Jinsha River Wharf.

Zhao Tan, the commander of the soldiers and horses, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy had retreated, and when he looked at the fleet and the remnants of the defeated army behind him, the whole person was several years old.

Before the expedition, there were 130 warships and 16,000 soldiers.

Less than a third returned!

A big defeat, a complete defeat!

The aftermath of the warriors alone is a headache, not to mention that after being ambushed again, the vitality is greatly damaged. Zhao Tan was a little shameless.

And all this has to be faced!
