"What observation, why did Lord Yin of the Governor send me and others to bring so many soldiers and horses to this place to exterminate this group of strongmen?" asked a middle-aged man dressed as a Great Song Dynasty officer, looking at a man in his thirties with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks on the side.

"Inspector Zhang, don't you know, this group of strongmen in Liangshan is very bold, and in the past few months, they have continuously looted more than a dozen large households around this Shuibo, and the methods are extremely cruel, not only robbing money, but also arson to destroy the corpses, which is extremely hateful.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with my Jeju Mansion, but the concubine of Lord Yin is from a large family surnamed Xu around this Shuibo.

And a month ago, the big family surnamed Xu was not only killed, but also set fire to Zhuangzi.

The concubine of Lord Fu Yin is quite popular with adults, and under his pleading, Lord Fu Yin is also very concerned.

After more than a month of investigation, I finally learned that this group of murderous strongmen was hiding in this pool of water, so that you and I would come to exterminate them. Seeing that the inspector Zhang in front of him had not heard of the rumors in the Yin Mansion, He Tao also explained for him.

"Then what observation thinks I am equal to where I enter this water pool?" After listening to He Tao's explanation, he has already figured out the reason why Fu Yin let him come to suppress the thief, and the surname Zhang Patrol is to ask the high opinion of He Observation in front of him, after all, he only knows that this time he is to exterminate the thieves in this Shuibo Liang Mountain, thinking that it is just some ordinary strongmen who rob houses and houses, and now I heard that it is a group of strongmen who kill people and set fires, and are not afraid of heaven and earth. He doesn't know anything now, how to deal with these strongmen with such a black face.

"Rest assured, before coming to this Shuibo Liangshan, I have already let people listen to the surrounding area for a few days in advance, although how many strongmen in this Shuibo are not known, but several times they have gone down the mountain to rob, according to rumors in the countryside, there are not many people, I only saw that there are one or two hundred people, that is, among the Shuibo, there are some hidden people, and there are at most three or five hundred strongmen. With our current 500 officers and soldiers, as long as we find traces of this group of strongmen, we can raise our hands to exterminate one of them. Hearing Inspector Zhang's inquiry, He Tao obviously didn't care about Ye Xuan's group of strongmen, and said confidently, when he said that Ye Xuan's group of strongmen were only three or five hundred, his words were quite contemptuous.

"This time, I will go to Shijie Village, is it to levy some fishing boats to use to catch thieves in the water?" Hearing He Tao's explanation, this surnamed Zhang immediately understood the reason why he went to Shijie Village this time.

......

After entering Shijie Village, He Tao and the other officers and soldiers were not in a hurry to go to Nashuibo Liangshan, but directly robbed the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep of each family in Shijie Village, and used them to reward the army.

Not only that, but also forcibly recruited fishing boats from fishermen from Shijie Village and several surrounding villages.

You must know that these fishermen rely on these fishing boats to make a living, how can these fishermen be willing, naturally there are many disputes, under several fights, although there are no fatalities, but under the fights, the fishermen are also injured by the officers and soldiers.

After staying in Shijie Village for two days in a row, He Tao led a group of officers and soldiers to eat wine and meat in the village, and asked his subordinates to do the work of forcibly requisitioning the boats of fishermen.

......

In the early morning of the third day, after two days of forced conscription, He Tao and Zhang Inspector finally took the 500 officers and soldiers under their command to forcibly requisition nearly 100 fishing boats, leaving dozens of officers and soldiers to guard grain, grass, horses and other things, and the rest were all on the fishing boats.

The official and military fleets marched all the way, and all of them sailed out of Shijie Lake and entered Liangshan Water.

The fleet entered the water for about four or five miles, and suddenly saw a small boat coming up on the water surface fifty or sixty meters ahead, and a person standing on the boat did not panic when he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming, but just sang: "Fishing is a lifetime of tweed, no seedlings and no hemp." The cool officials and stolen officials were all killed, and they faithfully repaid the Zhao official family. ”

"Who is this man?" He Tao, who was standing on the larger of the fishing boats, said wildly to the small boat opposite, and asked a fisherman who had been caught fishing in this water for many years.

"This person's name is Ruan Xiaowu, and he used to be a fisherman in my village. Hearing the question of the dog official who wantonly harmed his fellow villagers, the fisherman didn't want to answer, but thinking that he was now in the hands of the other party, if the other party framed him as a thief, he was afraid that his life might be difficult to protect, so he still said truthfully.

"It's really hard for a fisherman to say such a big rebellious remark. Hearing that the person in front of him was just a fisherman, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, He Tao was furious in his heart, scolded angrily, and thought about shooting the other party to death and twisting him into a thief.

"This man is a thief from Liangshan, shoot him to death for me. "Just do it when you think of it, this He Tao is also decisive, and immediately ordered.

Listening to He Tao's order, more than 100 archers among his many officers and soldiers immediately pulled their bows and wound them, and all of a sudden, hundreds of arrows rushed into the sky and went straight to Ruan Xiaowu's boat.

Fortunately, the wind was relatively strong in the water, and the two sides were forty or fifty meters away, except for a few arrows that hit Ruan Xiaowu's boat, most of the arrows fell into the water.

"You, a bird officer, are really eating bear heart and leopard gall, and you dare to come to the uncle's Liangshan Shuibo to look for abuse, you are really impatient. Seeing that those arrows were either shot into the water, or even when they arrived in front of him, they were already crooked, and there was no trace of strength, Ruan Xiaowu said quite contemptuously. Of course, he didn't say anything like looking for abuse or impatience in life, but that's what he meant, after all, he is still a character in "Water Margin", and there is no traverser to possess him.

Seeing Ruan Xiaowu mocking himself like this, and a group of archers under his command, none of them hit the other party, and he was furious. "Give it to me, kill this girl. Of course, this is not what He Tao said, but this is what he meant.

Seeing that the opposite fleet was rushing straight towards Ruan Xiaowu, he didn't run away, but still insulted the other party in the same place. Of course, as Ruan's three heroes, he was naturally not a fool, and when the other party was more than thirty meters away from him, he directly jumped into the water and disappeared.

Fortunately, most of the officers and soldiers on the side of the army are ignorant of water, and it is impossible to shoot arrows well on the ship, otherwise at a distance of more than 30 meters, nearly 100 arrows will be fired in unison, even if it is Ruan Xiaowu's cultivation in the Blood Condensation Realm, it will be difficult to survive.

Seeing that he couldn't find the person who ridiculed him just now, He Tao was very angry, but there was no way.

Just scolded a few words, and then led the fleet to the depths of the water again.

After walking only two miles, He Tao found a small boat in front of him.

On the bow of the ship stood a man wearing a green hat and a green robe, with a pen and gun in his hand, and he sang:

"The old man grew up in Shijie Village, and he was born to kill.

First beheaded He Tao to inspect the head, and Jingshi dedicated to Zhao Wangjun. ”

Just let that Ruan Xiaowu teasing him, it was that no one could be angry, this was another person who was looking for death, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he would cut off He Tao's head, He Tao only felt that the blood in his heart was boiling. Of course, this decision is not because you can find someone who can be used to vent your anger when you are excited, it is the result of the anger in your heart that is difficult to suppress.

However, before He Tao could speak, the other leader in the fleet, Zhang Daxun, saw that the people in front of him were also scolding himself, and he was already angry in his heart, and shouted: "Cut him." "It is that he has already commanded a group of junior brothers to rush towards the small boat of the Ruan family's Xiaoqi, who has just come out to attract the monster. Of course, Inspector Zhang naturally doesn't know what to call him, that's what it means.

Seeing a group of more than 100 officers and soldiers rushing straight towards his small boat together, Ruan Xiaoqi was also quite bold, and his face did not change, but the bow of the boat turned and went to the reeds behind.

I have to say that the Ruan brothers are worthy of being fishing for many years, and they are the best men in the world in the water kung fu.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it was as fast as a meteor, but it was really fast, and it was only a dozen breaths of time, and the boat had already scurried into a narrow channel among the reeds.

Seeing that this thief who had just run out was about to slip away again, He Tao's anger in his heart was almost like bursting out. I saw that his face was distorted on the spot, and he shouted: "Catch this thief for me, this official will make his life worse than death." ”

Inspector Zhang on the side was also a three-corpse god who jumped violently, shouted loudly, and urged the younger brother to step forward, after all, he was constantly being played, and Inspector Zhang also had a fire in his heart.

When Ruan Xiaoqi entered the narrow waterway among the reeds, he no longer continued to sail quickly, but continued to tease the officers and soldiers behind him with words.

With Ruan Xiaoqi's continuous teasing, the official and military fleets also continued to squeeze into the narrow waterway, which was less than two feet.

However, the officers and soldiers did not notice that soon after their fleet entered the waterway, more than a hundred people with twenty or thirty small boats carrying some small dead wood and other items came to the mouth of the narrow waterway.

"Brothers, you must block this waterway, and don't wait for the officers and soldiers to escape. Seeing that he had already arrived at the mouth of the waterway at the destination of this trip, Li Erlang was also unambiguous and immediately spoke.

After listening to the words of their own leader, all the minions were not ambiguous, and they directly set up their own boats to block the dead wood pulled behind the boat inside the waterway mouth and block the waterway mouth.

Of course, they didn't do this to block the water at the mouth of the waterway, and I believe that no one has such brainless thoughts.

Naturally, they did this under the orders of Ye Xuan, the biggest boss of Liangshanbo.

Ye Xuan's strategy was also very simple, that is, first let the Ruan brothers tease the officials and soldiers first, lead them to chase, and then lead them into this narrow waterway that they had been optimistic about beforehand, and then set fire to the boat to attack as in the original book.

It is believed that a round of fire attack can cause heavy losses to this group of officers and soldiers, and in addition, a group of Liangshan men and horses hidden in the reeds can beat the water dogs, which will definitely wipe out all the officers and soldiers.
