Chapter 1295 Make a good opportunity to kill them all!
The swordfish clipper in the government navy ship suddenly launched into action, and the soldiers lined up on the ship also took their positions, raised their crossbows and looked at the fishing boats ahead.
When the Ruan brothers who were standing on the bow of the boat saw it, they still showed relaxed smiles. One of them, Ruan Xiaoer, waved his hand gently, and the boat's momentum stopped abruptly, and then it circled and sailed backwards.
The small boat, which was originally driven by the rudder and the oar, actually seemed to have its sails pulled up, and the tip of the boat was touched by the waves splashing on the river and moved back.
However, dozens of small speedboats rushed forward quickly. At the same time, the warships on the left and right sides of the naval fleet also quickly unfolded. The entire navy was like a giant beast in the water with its bloody mouth open.
Rushing forward recklessly.
Although Niu Bangxi knew a little about the nature of water, his skills in water warfare were mediocre. At first, he was very panicked when he saw the Liangshan strong bandits suddenly coming out. However, seeing Liu Menglong's calm command, he felt a little more at ease, so he spoke again:
: "It turns out that the water thieves in Liangshan are rampant, so they want to teach Liu Tongzhi to take the lead."
But Liu Menglong did not have the energy to argue with Niu Bang at this time. He still looked around at his moves, paying attention to the trends of the battle in front of him. Seeing the three heroes of the Ruan family and others immediately fleeing in a boat, Liu Menglong also showed a disdainful smile on his face, and paid
Said: Defeat before fighting, it is not to lure the enemy, but what is it? There are also thieves ambushing behind this group of thieves and in the surrounding harbor branches. Now that I have been taught to notice, if they are all like the group of thieves in front of me, then
The number and size of the ships were too small for the enemy force to fight, and those guys had already left their lair... Could it be that we took the opportunity to completely annihilate this group of thieves' navy, and it would be easy to annihilate their water stronghold when they attack Liangshanbo in the future.
To achieve my achievements?
At the same time, more than fifty swordfish boats were also flying across the river, biting the pirate ship in front that was about to retreat. Strong bows and crossbows were fired in unison, like clusters of locust arrows.
In the past, although many of the Shuiban soldiers under the command of the three heroes of the Nguyen family were covered with a piece of raincoat made of cooked copper, there were also people who were hit by arrows from sudden attacks in parts of their bodies that were not protected by the raincoat.
Many people fell on the boat, and some people turned over and fell into the water.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and the lethality of the bows and crossbows would be even sharper and more ferocious, Ruan Xiaoer took the lead in shouting, and Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi had already begun to leap forward, and gathered in from the ship with their navy troops.
It went under the water. The ownerless boat was spinning around on the river. Not long after, it was overtaken by the speedboat coming from behind. When more government and navy warships approached,
It seemed as if it had been completely swallowed up by the unstoppable giant beast in the water.
And just as Liu Menglong expected, the river was vast and swaying, surrounded by reeds and weeds. On the Huai River, which densely covered the branch of the harbor, whistles suddenly sounded on both sides, and two groups of strong navy troops emerged from the reeds and weeds.
, the ambush troops looked from the left and right sides and were about to attack our own navy.
Our army's formation on the left and right wings is still in chaos, so what's the use of rushing in like this? The purpose of ambush is to catch people by surprise, but now I'm not expecting your guys' tricks... Zhemo, I really
Gao Gao saw the rebel Xiao Tang and the Liang Shanshui thieves who followed him to cause trouble. They only relied on this method, but didn't they deliberately seek death?
The smile on Liu Menglong's face grew thicker, and he became more arrogant and disdainful. He knew that with the fifteen thousand naval troops and more than five hundred warships under his command, it was very likely that Xiao Tang's command would be defeated in advance with such momentum. The strong bandits in the mountains heard the news that the navy was moving north to capture Liangshan. Xiao Tang, who was so frightened, rushed to the Imperial Conquest Army before the cavalry, infantry and navy could join forces, intending to come down and intercept the troops under his command. It is not surprising that there are sailors all the way.
But fighting on the water depends on whose ship has the most powerful boats and cannons. Such a large-scale regular naval force is not just a bandit fighting in the green forest. The Liao Kingdom, Goryeo, and the newly rising Jin Kingdom How many naval forces are so powerful? I just need to be more careful with luring the enemy into an ambush, so that I won't be disrupted by the enemy, and then they will fight each other head-on on the river. Who will be my opponent? !?
As Liu Menglong shouted orders, the trebuchets on several warships deployed on both sides took turns making heart-stopping sounds, and the ignited fireballs flew high and drew several parabolas in the air. Then he smashed down the strong pirates who came out of the reed swamps on both sides!
Fortunately, although the firearms and flying stones thrown by the naval warships were shockingly powerful, their accuracy was not satisfactory. Leaders such as Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng and Wei Zhaode, who had suddenly rushed out from both sides of the river, also had many people who were good at steering the ship. The fishing boats, although small in size but easy to control and steer, spread out in all directions. The rapidly falling fireballs hit the river surface, immediately splashing water ten feet high and shaking several rickety boats around. Kou Shuijun was almost knocked over and fell into the water!
Like the water falling from a sudden rain, the water splashed all over Wei Zhaode. The former owner of the Baihe Water Village who had engaged in pirate activities in his early years could not help but feel a little frightened. According to the original method of leading his subordinates to fight with the army, it was probably The unexpected killer went out, jumped onto the opponent's ship, and used his fierce and ferocious martial arts to engage the officers and soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. The officers and soldiers in most places were weak and unable to withstand the enemy. But now this navy is not only powerful but also powerful. It's so huge, and we already have countermeasures, so how can we easily break through and climb onto the bow of the ship to fight the enemy at close quarters!?
Wei Zhaode gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but think in his heart: I think back when I gathered on South Jingxi Road, I was at least a well-known figure among the gangsters who relied on water in the green forest, even though there were some weak soldiers in the Inspection Department. How dare the army and the like look directly at my Baihe Water Village, and how dare I come to express my annoyance? But if I was the only one who was in charge of that water army brother in the past, if I bumped into this army navy, I am afraid that I would have been killed long ago. Destroyed and wiped out!
However, in order to avoid the incoming firearms and flying stones, the navy forces on both sides who originally intended to ambush had their tight formation on the water looser. Originally, the navy and navy had all kinds of warships, but now they took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely. I am afraid that the formation will be easily torn apart by the opponent. Then, the simple boats will fight on their own. How can they deal with the powerful bows and crossbows fired from all directions?
Liu Menglong, who was standing on the bow of the ship, looked at the ambush of strong bandits on both sides and saw many people abandoning the ship and jumping into the water. He immediately ordered again: "There are also good swimmers among the Zhemo thieves who are good at swimming and lurking. Send the order." Go down and teach everyone to be on guard with bows and crossbows. If you see anyone swimming towards the navy ship to take a breath, be sure to shoot him immediately!"
Luring the enemy into an ambush, diving and making sneak attacks are of no use to me, but what other tricks can you, dry-water grass bandits, use?
Liu Menglong thought in his mind, and when he gave another military order, the warships on both wings either hoisted full sails or swung the oars with all their strength. The naval fleet suddenly accelerated, just like that, they were about to crush the powerful navy on both wings that had already been defeated. It was like the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. However, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Wei Zhaode and other leaders seemed to be invincible, and their naval forces began to retreat one after another. It seemed that they were preparing to dive into the reed swamps of the harbor branches before abandoning the ship. They disembarked and fled on dry roads.
Isn't that what most green forest bandits are like? They fight with a desperate and fierce spirit, but their morale can easily suffer a severe setback once the war goes against them? Liu Menglong thought to himself, he seemed to have heard of Xiao Tang's betrayal of the imperial court. His subordinates have also recruited many generals who were originally from the army. However, among the strong pirates and naval forces under his command, there are no figures who can give Liu Menglong a reputation. This is not like what he did in Xichuan Xiajiang. Like those water bandits who were defeated, they thought they knew some water skills and dared to gather as bandits to fight against the officers and soldiers, but in fact they had no ability to command and fight. Their momentum was overwhelmed by the opponent and they had to disperse like birds and beasts?
Now that the war is going smoothly, it has gradually confirmed Liu Menglong's thoughts about these Liangshan water bandits. However, now most of them have only destroyed some ordinary fishing boats that the bandits can get everywhere. If they win, what is a great achievement? Let's take advantage of the situation. Try to annihilate the bandit army as much as possible, killing all the Liangshan bandits to the point of death. Soon it will be even easier to take Liangshan Water Village. It is only reasonable to take advantage of the enemy's defeat to pursue them with all their strength. Therefore, Liu Menglong gave orders one after another: even if the bandits want to escape to the shore While escaping by landing, be sure to pursue them into the Hong Kong branch and kill them all!
