Chapter 86 Liang Shanshui Army
While Song Qing calmed down Yanzhou, another army from Liangshan also arrived near Qizhou.
The Song Dynasty directly drove the development of the shipbuilding industry due to the development of water transportation. Thousands of big ships are everywhere, and the Liangshan soldiers are 10,000 on 50 big boats, and there is no crowd at all.
Although the ship carries a lot of food, it can't just eat the ship's food. If you pass by the state and county, you will inevitably go down to buy it. If you are lucky enough to meet the government's ship, it will be rudely swept away.
Jishui is an inland river. On such a surface, no one is the opponent of Liangshan Army, and they sail along the water, so they sail very fast all the way.
In the future, it is Qizhou, the seat of Jingdong East Road of the Song Dynasty. Qizhou City connects the north and the south, and the transportation is convenient. Since ancient times, it has been a must-have place for soldiers. Therefore, there are heavy soldiers stationed in the city, and there is also a battalion of sailors on the surface of the water.
The navy of the government is not enough to see at all, but Gongsun Sheng is still very careful. His task is to pull the Liangshan army to the sea to train troops, not to entangled with the officers and soldiers in these places here.
Because they have dealt with the local government a lot along the way, their huge fleet got the news before they arrived in Qizhou, and the comfort envoy on Jingdong East Road in Qizhou, and they have closed the Qizhou waterway, ordering the water army to stand up and be ready to destroy this unknown water army emerging from there.
Song Qing went to Dengzhou by land, and did not take the road of Qizhou. This appeasement made the adult belong to the kind of grandma who didn't hurt and uncle didn't love him in the court.
The emperor did not give him much secret edict, but asked him to withdraw the officials of Deng and Lai Erzhou, and informed the local officials who Liangshan people and horses were going through in advance, trying not to provoke Liangshan people and horses, but did not mention the affairs of the water army at all.
This is not what the old emperor concealed from him, but because the old emperor did not know that Song Qing marched in two ways.
Although the Liangshanshui army had flags, Gongsun Sheng did not fight it out to avoid unnecessary troubles, so no one knew that this huge navy came from Liangshan.
In order to block this navy, the Qizhou navy built a pontoon bridge on Jishui to connect both sides of the river. At the same time, the marching army also built several high arrow towers on both sides to support the navy to fight against the enemy at any time.
Hearing the return of the sentry ship in front of him, Gongsun Sheng frowned. He was not afraid of the enemy's arrangement, but if he broke in, he would definitely lose. These were all the elites of Liang Shanshui Army. If there were too many losses, how could he be worthy of Song Qing's trust?
Zhu Wu is not here. He doesn't have so much intelligence support, and everything depends on them.
After ordering to get into the water village, Gongsun Sheng began to meditate alone.
If another man and horse can attack Qizhou City, transfer the troops by the river, and break through, it will be more certain, but the question is that another man and horse will come?
I don't know what's going on with Erlang?
With the sound of footsteps, I saw the Ruan brothers coming into the cabin one after another.
"Daochang, I have an idea with my brother. Please refer to it and see if it is feasible?"
Ruan Xiaowu continued his brother Ruan Xiaoqi's words and said, "My brother and I want to take some water-friendly brothers to sneak over and set fire to the fucking pontoon bridge and the ship of the Qizhou navy. When our ship rushes over, I'm sorry that those bastards of the infantry can do nothing to take us."
Gongsun Sheng nodded and said, "Fire attack is a good plan, but the place where the officers and soldiers build pontoon bridges is the narrowest part of the river. It is easy to burn the enemy's ships, but if they break through, they must face the arrow towers on land. They can condescend against us, but we treat him We have no choice, so we must get rid of the threat of the arrow tower before breaking through."
The Ruan brothers are silent. You should know that there are also heavy soldiers around the arrow tower. Although they are not afraid of death, they will not make unnecessary sacrifices.
Gongsun Sheng suddenly remembered something. I couldn't help laughing and said, "You go back to rest first. We will attack tomorrow morning. I promise we can rush over in one fell swoop."
Seeing that Gongsun Laodao smiled a little mysteriously, the two brothers wanted to ask, but they saw that Lao Dao had closed his eyes and began to be settled.
The two brothers had no choice but to go back first.
Hearing the footsteps going out, Gongsun Sheng opened his eyes again. Why did he suddenly become so sure again? That's because he remembered a few things that Song Qing gave him before leaving.
After modification, the iron sheet on the outside is thinner, and there are many steel balls attached to it. Once it is detonated, it is ten times more powerful than the previous one.
There is also a catapling machine. The catapling machine is a large siege weapon. In the past, no one thought of putting it on the ship, but Song Qing said that it was okay. After studying with some craftsmen of Cheng Laosi, the volume of the catapling machine has been modified and reduced a lot. It can be assembled on the ship in wartime and can be dismantled when it is not used. Take up space.
Liang Shanshui Army came all the way and did not encounter any decent resistance at all, so they didn't expect this at all. But now there is no need to do it.
Erlang, how long is your head? Why are there any strange ideas in it?
This is where Gongsun Sheng has always been confused.
At the third hour, Liang Shanshui Army began to be busy, raised the fire and cooked rice, and then pulled the anchor and set sail. At this time, many people were surprised to find that many strange brackets were suddenly installed on the ten ships side after the handsome ship, and they didn't know what to do, which made people look very strange.
Although the officers and soldiers in front of them were already prepared, the scattered habits accumulated over the years had already lowered their reaction to the lowest point. It was not until they saw the ships of the Liang Shanshui Army that they shouted and ran to their posts, picked up the weapons in their hands and were ready to meet the enemy.
Looking at the panicked appearance of the officers and soldiers, Gongsun Sheng sneered, waved the flag and shouted, "Children, let them see the power of our Liangshan"
As the flag was waved, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time suddenly opened the switch of the catapult. In the pocket of the original stone of the catapult, the fire tumulus that had been ignited suddenly sprinkled like raindrops on the opposite officers and soldiers, and the towering arrow towers were obviously also the target of the attack.
There are also fire thistle officers and soldiers, but they are not as well prepared as the Liang Shanshui Army this time, and it is too late to ignite it now.
"Hide quickly, that's thistium"
An officer shouted. Without him shouting, the closer soldiers have already been looking for a place to hide.
Although they are avoiding, these officers and soldiers obviously don't pay much attention to this weapon. They only prepare to come out to fight back against the enemy after the explosion of the fire.
But this time they may not have a chance to resist, and with the rumble explosion, countless screams also sounded. Soldiers who had thought that they could not be affected far away fell down. Some were injured and lay there motionlessly, while others lay on the ground and howled and rolled. With the relaunch of the trebe, the arrow tower began to burn.
Even Liang Shan's soldiers and many leaders did not expect this result. Looking at the burning position of the officers and soldiers, they were stunned.
Gongsun Sheng saw that the effect had been achieved and ordered to stop firing the fire-thus. The flag waved again.
"Liang Shanshui Army, Impact"
The Liangshan soldiers who woke up suddenly shouted and rushed over by.
First, he fought back against the shore with several ships across the water. At the same time, he drove the way with several official ships and rushed along the water to the pontoon bridge that had already ignited a fire. In a moment, a waterway was rushed out, and under the impact of the current, the waterway became wider and wider.
Gongsun Sheng's handsome ship crossed the blockade line first, and then all the ships of Liang Shanshui Army also rushed over.
The comfort caused the adult to receive the report, and his eyes almost fell off.
Is this actually Liang Shanshuijun? Why did Liang Shanshuijun come here? What are they going to do?
Before the comforting the adult to figure out what was going on, someone under his men sent a letter that was said to be written to him by Commander Liang Shanshui.
Open it and appeased the adult's nose almost crooked.
The content of the letter is very simple, writing that "Liang Shanshui Army is leading Gongsun Sheng, and others dare to stop Liangshan Tianjun, which is a capital crime. Nian Er and others are the first offender, so they will not be investigated. I hope to get lost as soon as possible. If you dare to resist Liangshan Tianjun again, they will definitely die.
Is this okay? Liangshan is also the opposite!
He comforted the adult and couldn't take care of being angry. He immediately sent the situation here 800 miles to the capital and asked the emperor to make a decision.
Not to mention the letter, even Feixin may not be able to reach the capital. As early as the beginning of spring, post stations in various places have been infiltrated by Zhu Wu, especially in Shandong, which is now basically completely controlled by Liangshan.
The messenger who sent 800 miles to the urgent stage disappeared before he left the ground in Qizhou.
Since then, the capital has basically not reported any news, and it has been several months since these officials realized the problem.
Song Qing's army was marching towards Yizhou, and Gongsun Sheng on the waterway also marched along the water to his destination.
The old emperor in the court is still complacent about his proud work.
But they are not the only ones in the world.
The news that Liang Shan and Song Qing led his troops out of the mountain was also put on the royal book case of Aguda more than ten days later.
The nail buried by Wanyan Baokang in Liangshan was pulled out by Song Qing, but his surveillance of Song Qing did not relax because of this. After receiving the news that Song Qing came out of the mountain, he always felt that Liang Shan was going to rebel, but when he knew Song Qing's where he was going, he was also confused.
What is Song Qing going to do?
Confused, Wanyan Baokang still told the emperor the news.
If Wu Qimai hadn't mentioned Song Qing that day, Aguda would not have paid attention to the bandit leader at all, but after reading Yan Baokang's report, Aguda fell into deep thinking.
After a long time, I suddenly remembered something. In those years, they established a maritime alliance with the Song Dynasty. Aren't the people of the Song Dynasty just going to Dengzhou? If this boy named Song Qing occupied Dengzhou, would he attack my big money from the sea?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was this possibility, and an idea suddenly came to his mind that this son could not be left.
After thinking about it, I ordered someone to find Wanyan Keer. He knew that Song Qing was the same in Wanyan Baokang's mouth, and in Wanyan Keer's mouth, it must be different.
A Guda is about to personally conquer Canliao. He doesn't want to put his mind elsewhere, so he has to find out what kind of person Song Qing is before making other plans.
