There are no guns or cannons. It seems that if you want to strengthen the navy, you can only start with the equipment of the soldiers and the strength of the ships. As long as the craftsmanship workshop is willing to work hard, building a navy army is not a problem. The important thing is the issue of funds. With the craftsmanship workshop
Support, it seems that the funds of the Xiliang Army do not need to be considered, but in fact it is not the case. The price paid to support an army, especially a standing army with high military pay, is very high. The existence of these soldiers is for war. They do not farm and do not consider
Others are just waiting for the war to come.
On the largest ship in the navy, a general said disapprovingly: "They are just a group of water pirates. Why don't they matter? General, why don't you take this opportunity to capture Gan Ning? It will be a great achievement."
"Gan Ning has been running rampant on the river for a long time, and he has more than a thousand troops under his command. At this time, our army is at odds with Jiangdong's army. It would be unwise to offend them again. Let's just let them run around for a few more days." General Zhang's expression
Showing a sinister look.
"How about we follow up and see what the Jingzhou Army is doing?" Jia Rong said out of curiosity.
"Yes!" Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, and then ordered the soldiers to follow him. As a hero who lives on the river, Gan Ning's men and horses are quite elite. They are much better than the Jingzhou navy, but their equipment is not as good as theirs.
, water-based nature is also very good.
On the mighty river, a group of men and horses appeared again, with a big flag with the word "Sun" in it, indicating the identity of the owner. The two groups of men and horses met, and without too many words, the battle began immediately.
I saw the largest building ship in the Jingzhou Navy, rushing all the way, and all the Jiangdong Army ships it encountered were destroyed. After approaching, arrows from both sides came back and forth, and the fight was fierce. The Jingzhou Navy
He has had a long-standing grudge with Jiangdong Army, and the two sides will not show mercy at all when fighting.
The surface of the river was soon dyed with a faint red color. The huge ship of the Jingzhou Navy made a great contribution, but such a strong collision was too much for the ship.
The fight lasted for about an hour, and both sides stopped fighting.
Jia Rong also ordered Gan Ning to turn the ship around and rush back to the camp.
"General, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army have been fighting frequently recently. You can't go out casually. We also have grudges with these two groups." Zhou Tai had a worried look on his face.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's a sudden idea today. Besides, with a brave water general like General Gan, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Gan Ning was a little embarrassed to be praised by Jia Rong, but his eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.
"It has been two days since the general came to the camp. Tonight we will hold a banquet for the general to welcome him." Zhou Tailang said.
The soldiers all shouted loudly after hearing this. After joining the Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai did not say it clearly, but his requirements for the soldiers became more and more strict. Normally in the army, they were not allowed to drink. Once discovered, they would be punished by military law. Since Jiang Qin was punished in person once
After that, no one dared to commit a foul. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Tai commanded an army of water thieves with no discipline at all. In fact, military discipline requirements were more stringent than those of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Army.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Okay!"
The navy camp at night looks particularly beautiful against the light of the water. It looks like two camps above and below the water.
Jia Rong and his entourage mingled with each other in the camp, and the soldiers outside were also given some food and wine. There was laughter and laughter throughout the camp.
In the dark night, several small boats quietly approached the direction of the water village. After a moment, a dense number of boats appeared behind the boats. From a vague look, there were about a thousand people, and among them was a building boat.
The only ones who could dispatch large ships on the river were the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Army.
On the right side of the water village, there were also densely packed ships, with about a thousand people on board, and the same equipment as the ships on the right, with a huge building ship in the center.
At this time, the water village was filled with cheers and no one was aware of the approach of the God of Death.
Seeing that the water army was beginning to take shape, Jia Rong was also very happy, but everyone who came to propose a toast would accept it. Anyway, he drank a lot, and he didn't think about what would happen after he was drunk.
"Lord, what's wrong, an unknown ship with about two thousand people was found outside the water village." Zhang Xiu said urgently in a low voice.
Jia Rong's eyes sharpened suddenly, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "You can drink as much as you want, I will come when I go. After I finish speaking, I will drink all the wine in the cup."
Zhou Tai and others did not doubt his presence and continued drinking.
Several small boats in the night quickly approached Zhou Tai's water village. The sound of arrows rang out, and the two soldiers on patrol fell to the ground with a "pop".
"These water thieves deserve their bad luck. They are still drinking when they are facing a disaster. God help me." Under the banner with the character "Liu", a general stood proudly and said.
"General Zhang personally took action, and the disaster of the water thieves was naturally solved, not to mention the help of Jiangdong Army." A general stepped forward and patted the horse.
"Jiangdong Army, after this battle, we may have to fight them again. Let the soldiers be prepared and not relax their guard against Jiangdong Army." General Zhang warned.
"Promise!" The messenger promised with clasped fists.
On the right side of the camp, Huang Gai looked at the momentum of the Jingzhou navy and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the Jingzhou army actually dispatched Zhang Yun."
"General Huang, Zhou Tai and other water thieves have repeatedly caused trouble on the water. I'm afraid they will all be caught this time."
"General Ling, please don't let down your guard. The water thieves are extremely cunning. They have sent out many armies but they still can't be wiped out. Tonight, there are people who can help us to succeed. Zhou Tai, Jiang Qingan, and Ning are also heroes on the river. The Lord has already ordered that if they are captured,
, treat each other with courtesy." Huang Gai sighed.
After Jia Rong followed Zhang Xiu out, he immediately rushed to the room where Mi Huan was. At this critical moment, he could no longer trust anyone except Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan. As expected, there must be someone colluding in the water village.
To avoid foreign enemies, otherwise two thousand soldiers would have appeared around the water stronghold and no one would have noticed.
The three of them had just met when they saw densely packed ships appearing outside the water village, and the torches on the bows seemed to illuminate the river surface like daylight.
As soon as Jia Rong left, Zhou Tai received the news reported by the soldiers. He was shocked. He went to look for Jia Rong but there was no trace of him. He hurriedly ordered: "Gan Ning, you go and protect the general. The rest of the people will follow me to meet the enemy."
.”
In Zhou Tai's understanding, he was able to hold off the enemy for a while, which gave Jia Rong a chance to escape. The entire water village was not as important as Jia Rong alone. He had not joined the Xiliang Army for a long time, and he and Jia Rong
There is not much contact, but the consciousness is still very high.
"Zhou Taipifu, surrender!" Zhang Yun shouted from the bow of the boat.
Zhou Tai took the broadsword handed over by the soldier and snorted, wondering why the broadsword became so heavy. "Not good!" Zhou Tai's expression changed drastically.
Not only Zhou Tai, but also all the senior generals who drank in the camp could not muster their strength, and their whole bodies were sore and numb.
"Shameless kid!" Zhou Tai cursed with red eyes and sat down on the ground helplessly.
Without a general organization, how could the soldiers in the water village resist the wolf-like and tiger-like Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Navy.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." The soldiers in the camp shouted loudly.
I saw a red dragon rising into the sky in Zhou Tai's camp, and the hot air waves made people dare not look directly at it.
Zhou Tai looked pale and murmured in a low voice: "It's over, everything is over."
In a hurry, Zhou Tai was dragged away. Jingzhou Army Jiangdong Army took Zhou Tai's water village without any effort and began to kill the water thieves. However, they saw a famous water soldier shouting surrender and not killing, and then accepted
When the soldiers surrendered, the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Army were competing to see who could accept more prisoners.
Huang Gai couldn't help but sigh when the water thieves who had been roaming the river for many years were defeated.
Jia Rong looked at the fire not far away, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. Could it be that among the three of them, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, someone was collaborating with the enemy?
His identity is absolutely confidential in the navy. After many considerations by Jia Xu, Jiang Qin, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, they are all trustworthy people. Why did this happen when Jia Rong just came to the navy?
?
At this time, Jia Rong was in a state of confusion, and the only people he could trust were Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan.
Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness came over him. Jia Rong felt sore and numb all over his body, and he was shocked. His usual calm demeanor no longer existed. "No, something was spiked in the wine."
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan also turned pale. They also drank a few glasses of wine under Jia Rong's order. Although the situation was not as bad as Jia Rong's, their arms and legs were still a little sore.
Looking at the crumbling Jia Rong, Mi Huan hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up. A trace of blush flashed across his face. Men and women were not close to each other. Although Mi Huan was usually very naughty, he still cared about these things.
Jia Rong said: "Go quickly!"
A flash of fire appeared in the rear, and the shouts of soldiers not far away could be vaguely heard.
The Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Army did not gain anything after they broke through the water village. A fire in the camp was set ablaze, many warships were no longer usable, and half of the largest ship in the water village was burned down.
Zhang Xiu endured his physical discomfort and said: "My lord, you go first, and I will stop the people behind you. As long as you return to Jiangxia, there will be soldiers there to support you."
"No, you have been with me for many years. If you want to die, you will die together." Jia Rong wanted to reach out to stop him, but he couldn't muster any strength.
Tears flowed down Zhang Xiu's face unsatisfactorily. With Jia Rong's words, even if he died a hundred times, he would not have any complaints. A man dies for a confidant.
"Lord, I will stay too. I also ask Miss Mi to lead the lord away from this place as soon as possible. Zhao Fan will definitely repay this in the next life." Zhao Fan bowed heavily to Mi Huan.
"Go quickly!" Zhang Xiu growled.
"Zhao Fan, Zhang Xiu, I am sorry for you two in this life!" Jia Rong said in a hoarse voice: "The blood of ten thousand people cannot wash away this hatred!"
"Lord!" Zhao Fan and Zhang Xiu all knelt on the ground.
Although Mi Huan didn't understand why the two grown men suddenly burst into tears and said such touching words, he could tell something was wrong from the situation in the water village, especially the fire that shot up into the sky and illuminated the river.
