Chapter 1294 Welcome to the nobleman Gao Taiwei, the control of the navy must make contributions
The wide water surface of the Huaihe River is sparkling. When you look at the intersection of the sky and the sea from a distance, you can see the vastness and white waves. And there are about 500 large and small ships on the river. The mighty river
From there, a rather impressive fleet was formed and headed straight for Yangsanbo, Jeju.
If you look down from the air, you can see the black ships on the river. The formation of this naval fleet has an outpost at the front, and there are also cruising boats spread out in the shape of wild goose wings on the left and right wings.
The one in the middle is also the largest warship in the navy. At this time, two generals are looking forward in front of the bow. They are among more than 15,000 navy troops and about 500 large and small warships.
, also looked particularly majestic and domineering.
"Liu Tongzhi was sent here by Captain Gao to use land and water to attack the traitors under Xiao Tang's command who occupied Liangshan in Shuibo. It was a great opportunity to make great achievements. According to Captain Gao's wishes,
Of course, I have the intention to promote Xie, and my future official career will be limitless, so Zhe Mo will have to take care of Xie a lot."
Liu Menglong listened to the tall and thick-looking officer in front of him, but there was also a vague cunning look in his eyes. He said that he was trying to please him, and he did not dare to neglect him at all. He immediately replied respectfully: "General Niu also said calmly, and now Meng Gao will not be ignored."
The Taiwei has been kind and generous, and if he gets an inch of progress, he should die in return. And General Niu is the confidant of Taiwei Gao. From now on, the last general will have to ask General Niu to give him more promotions and care...
."
Although Niu Bangxi is not a high-ranking official in the palace, he is still a confidant of Taiwei Gaoqiu...Now that he has been ordered by Taiwei Gao to come to the starry night to dispatch my navy troops, he is naturally determined not to neglect them.
Got him...
Liu Menglong thought to himself that although he was also the commander in charge of fifteen thousand naval forces, he was extremely respectful when dealing with Niu Bangxi. In fact, Liu Menglong was not an idiot in the army who was in the army. He had been in Xichuan
The bandits on the Xiajiang River have such solid military exploits and are quite unique in how to direct various warships to deal with water wars. However, Liu Menglong also knows very well that he needs to gain a foothold in the officialdom, and his ability to lead naval battles alone is not enough.
It is far from enough. It is even more necessary to clear up favors and lawsuits and win the support of the powerful people in the court. Only by winning more titles and official salaries can there be any hope. And offending people in the court who must not be provoked, even if he is in charge of the navy and is good at fighting,
I'm afraid the official road has come to an end.
Therefore, it is not that Liu Menglong has never heard of Gao Qiu, who was ranked first in military honors and was ranked as the Taiwei of Sanya in front of the palace, in Bianjing to eliminate dissidents and use nepotism in the Forbidden Army. But now that he wants to send him to his head
Above, you are the noble person in your destiny.
It is common practice for military officers and generals to mingle in the officialdom with the help of high-ranking officials... Liu Menglong secretly sighed in his heart. In fact, he thought that the Manichaeans led by La La in the south of the Yangtze River were unstoppable and had occupied eight territories.
If he is in Junzhou, then the navy under his command must also be transferred to the south of the Yangtze River and await the dispatch of Tong Guan, the concubine who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the crusade against Fang La. Whether it is in Tong Guan or in front of Gao Qiu's tent.
, it was nothing more than fighting hard under military orders, and more importantly, pleasing the superior officer. However, Zhenjiao Liu Menglong himself thought about it, and being ordered by Gao Qiu to lead his troops northward could be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
After all, Jiangnan La now occupied eight military states after the uprising. It claimed to have millions of followers and had favorable geographical advantages... Compared to fighting with the Manichaeans who killed the officers and soldiers of Jiangnan states,
Even Xiao Tang, the traitor who betrayed the imperial court, claimed to be in charge of all the troops in the Green Forest, and he was a difficult enemy to provoke. After all, the two mountains of Qingzhou could only be accessed by dry roads. Liu Menglong and his navy only had to break through only one area of Liangshan Po.
The several water forts on the top of the Green Forest Mountain have made great achievements. There are not many Green Forest strong bandits in the North who are good at water warfare. Zhamo, he is in charge of 15,000 naval officers and troops, and he is an ordinary water thieves.
How could it be stopped? Comparing the wars between the north and the south, Liu Menglong naturally felt that it would be easier to achieve great success by following Gao Qiu's instructions to conquer Shuibo Liangshan.
After thinking about it in his mind, Liu Menglong felt even more determined, thinking that now that I have served in the Jiangning Prefecture Navy Division for a long time, if I achieve great success in conquering Liangshan, I might be appreciated by Captain Gao and be transferred to the Bianjing Divine Guard.
The navy is also the palace commander, and the Bu Division has the jurisdiction of the Tiger Wing Navy. Gao Taiwei has monopoly power in the Bianjing Forbidden Army. As long as he can be reused and promoted, my official career in the Bianjing Forbidden Army should be
If you can rise to the top, then you can live a successful life...
"Report! Liu Tongzhi, there are dozens of ships blocking the river from ahead, seemingly trying to block our army's path!"
At this time, Liu Menglong's imaginings were interrupted by the rapid reporting sound. He and Niu Bangxi looked at each other in astonishment, and then immediately ordered the naval officers and soldiers on the large and small warships under his command to deal with rockets, hand cannons, wooden cannons, bamboo cards, and handguns.
Weapons such as crossbows, daggers, and spears were prepared to meet the enemy.
Not long after, Liu Menglong vaguely heard a whistle sounding in front of him. When the navy officers and soldiers had already moved the large and small warships, he looked up and saw many men in front of him, pulling many boats that were usually used for fishing.
A small fish boat came, and the military warriors standing on the bow wore green bamboo hats and green coir raincoats, and most of them held a bamboo gun in their hands.
There were three more fast boats, and the boatmen on them rowed five or six birches, and they swam directly towards Liu Menglong's naval fleet. They stepped on the heads of the bows of the three boats.
, one person first pointed at the navy of the official ship and shouted loudly: "The hero of Liangshan, Tai Sui, Ruan Xiaoer is here, together with the three brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, they follow my brother specifically to fight against the government. Do you think this is the case?"
Guys, Zhe Mo was also ordered by the old thief Gao Qiu to come and trouble us at Shuibo Liangshan. Even if there were more people and ships, what would it mean? The dog officer was so bold, he specially led the officers and soldiers to seek death!
?”
Ruan Xiaoqi on the other ship also laughed loudly and cursed: "Which one is called Liu Menglong? He led this thieves to touch grandpa's brow, but he didn't know the method of grandpa to live up to Yama. When we are the three heroes of the Ruan family in Shijie Village,
They are all easy to tease! Don’t tell me that you are just a navy commander. Even when the old thief Gao Qiu comes in person, grandpa will still poke twenty or thirty transparent holes in him!"
As soon as the two sides met, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi started shouting curses at Liu Menglong, Niu Bangxi and others from a distance, and Ruan Xiaowu and several of the surrounding water squad members also shouted loudly.
When Liu Menglong saw this, he laughed angrily, saying that the Liangshan bandits were seeking death by leaving their lair without authorization. Dozens of broken boats used by ordinary fishermen for fishing actually tried to intercept the water of more than 500 of his own warships.
Division fleet?
But Liu Menglong then thought about it, Zhemo also thought that it was because the officers and soldiers on Jingdong Road were weak, and he taught this group of water-based strong bandits to roam freely. They had been invincible for a long time, so they despised the officers and soldiers. But now that we see the huge strength of our army, we need to know how to measure it.
If it was really the green forest water bandit sent by the rebel Xiao Tang, he was also a man who had made many achievements in battles, so how could he send some delusional people who did not know life or death to seek death?
"First send fifty swordfish boats to kill the group of stubborn thieves in front. The rest of the group will listen to my orders, maintain the formation of the warships, and advance slowly. However, other thieves come out, throwing muskets and fireballs, and then use strong bows to
The powerful crossbow will destroy it, and we are determined not to let the thieves and water pirates disrupt our army's formation!"
Liu Menglong shouted the order, and was about to show off his ability to lead the navy to suppress thieves in front of Niu Bangxi. First, fifty swordfish boats quickly sailed out and headed towards the navy army led by Ruan's three heroes.
The killing will be over. Nowadays, some warships of the Song Dynasty Navy have catapult carts. In addition to throwing stones, they can also throw "muskets", "fireballs" and other incendiary firearms. According to the normal method of water warfare, the firearms are fired first, and then the fireballs are fired.
Using bows and crossbows, or even driving boats to rush close to a place, jumping over to engage them hand-to-hand. I am afraid that just using bows and crossbows to shoot rockets at them can beat those crudely made fishing boats like sieves. There are still 15,000 people under my command.
With so many sailors, how could the gang of strong bandits on the opposite side be able to withstand the enemy?
However, Liu Menglong's face was solemn. Instead, he looked behind the group of strong bandits on the opposite side, and then looked around the darkness of the harbor branch around the Huai River. He also thought in his heart: This group of water bandits is just a lure for the enemy. There must be others around.
There are other Liangshan bandits ambushing me, how could I easily fall into the trap of you guys!
