Chapter 1299 After the victory, the leader of the navy
Although he was waving his sword wildly in an attempt to protect his whole body, Niu Bangxi saw only the shadows of enemy soldiers. He tried hard to resist. First, he blocked the sword from Meng Wei's pocket, but the right hand holding the sword blocked it.
However, a deep wound was made on his arm by the Polygonum leaf-pointed knife that Zheng Jue picked up.
While the blood was splattering, Niu Bang screamed in pain. He had also realized that there were very few officers and soldiers left on the warship who were still resisting and fighting. Now he could not win, and he could not escape... He was anxious and anxious.
Then, Niu Bangxi had no choice but to shout: "Don't fight again! All heroes, I am the confidant in front of Captain Gao's tent. If you spare my life, there will be someone to cover it up..."
However, now was the moment of the fierce bloody fight. Niu Bangxi's fighting spirit had disappeared, and he slowed down his movements. Before he could say anything, Jia Hu, who was jealous of the killing, was unable to stop his attack, and his gunshot had already stabbed Niu Bangxi's head hard.
The waist and ribs!
Niu Bangxi trembled violently, and immediately threw himself on the deck. Meng Wei, Jia Hu, and Zheng He stopped their hands when they saw this, and immediately ordered their soldiers to step forward and tie Niu Bangxi up. However, at this time, one after another
His blood kept gushing out, and his body kept twitching. Even when someone came forward to tie him up, Niu Bangxi didn't seem to notice, and the look in his eyes became more and more hollow...
At this time, Meng Wei, Jia Hu, and Zheng Zhe temporarily stopped, but Zhang Rong sprinted straight towards the other side of the official ship.
Because he looked at a man who looked like an army general and just took off his helmet and armor and threw it aside, then jumped down and plunged straight into the river.
Liu Menglong, who had already jumped into the water from the boat, plunged into the river and swam hard. He did not dare to go to the shore. He only planned to find a deep and wide area in the harbor before the Liangshan bandits could hunt him down.
Escaped. Now Liu Menglong finally realized that those navy bandits were not green forest thieves who overestimated their capabilities and had low ambitions and weak skills as he had expected. Compared with the two, he, the commander of the navy, became a frog in the well... He was still in shock.
Liu Menglong was gnashing his teeth in hatred because of this disastrous defeat. Although he still wanted to get his life back, he couldn't help but have another thought in his mind: The Liangshan bandits are hateful, and I suffered this disastrous defeat, how should I explain to Captain Gao?
Then Liu Menglong quickly realized that he no longer had to worry about how to face Gao Qiu when he returned, because when he was swimming hard on the water, he was shocked to see several fishing boats around him flying towards him.
When he was about to come over, Liu Menglong was shocked when he saw this. He swam even harder using his hands and feet. However, several gangsters jumped into the river from the surrounding boats. As soon as they jumped into the water, each of them turned into a strange fish that seemed to have become a spirit.
They came from several directions and quickly blocked Liu Menglong's path.
Behind Liu Menglong, Zhang Rong also jumped down from the official ship with the noisy killing, and immediately turned into a white light and swam quickly. It seemed that he had caught up in just a moment. When he reached out again, he
He has been able to touch Liu Menglong, who is like a turtle in a urn...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Liu Menglong, whose eyes turned white due to being soaked in water that morning and who had fainted, woke up again and vomited out a few more mouthfuls of river water. His body was arched like a cooked prawn, and then he tremblingly raised his head to look.
At that time, he saw that he was surrounded by people. Many fierce and fierce bandit leaders looked down at him. Some of them had murderous intent in their eyes, while others were full of disdain. As for Liu Menglong, he looked directly at the Liangshan Mountain.
The leader of the bandits, Da Ma Jin Dao, was sitting upright, and he couldn't help but be struck by his majestic aura.
Liu Menglong was stunned for a moment, then smiled miserably and said, "All the naval forces under my command are here?"
Xiao Tang stared at Liu Menglong who was slumped on the ground with a disgraced face, and said solemnly: "I have killed 9,000 soldiers and captured 4,500 people, but more than 2,000 people may have climbed to the shore and escaped. .And more than ninety of the various standard warships prepared by your navy were burned, and the rest were captured by our army."
Every time Liu Menglong heard what Xiao Tang said, his complexion seemed to turn a little paler. Now in this situation, he had no choice but to let the other party handle it, and no longer had any confidence to challenge Xiao Tang or even the green forest heroes under his command.
"I know that you, Liu Menglong, have some reputation in the navy of the navy and have made some military exploits. However, although you are familiar with water warfare, I guess you are also eager to make meritorious deeds. You are eager to expand the results before the victory is determined. For the general, Sir, one should seek victory first and discuss merit later, otherwise wouldn’t it be putting the cart before the horse? It’s just that you underestimated the abilities of our brothers and others. You were arrogant in victory and discouraged in defeat, and that’s how you ended up with this disastrous defeat. What else should you say now? speak?"
Xiao Tang's words seemed to hit hard into Liu Menglong's heart, and made him even more ashamed and helpless. Now he has neither the face nor the courage to speak righteously and harshly to Xiao Tang and others, but if Just begging for mercy and surrender, Liu Menglong thought about how difficult it had been for him to join the army. He had climbed to the position of navy commander, but he had to bow his head to the green forest bandits who betrayed the imperial court and begged for mercy, but he could not open his mouth. So for a while, Liu Menglong He just sat slumped like a living dead without saying a word, as if he simply planned to let Xiao Tang deal with him.
Xiao Tang looked coldly at Liu Menglong who was lying limp on the ground, and said to himself that even if this person was not a dirty and dirty officer who only relied on serving his superiors to reach his current military rank, he had some ability to lead troops, but he still had some ability to lead troops. It can only be said that although it is more than enough compared with the inferiors, it is too far behind compared with the superiors. It is normal for the military commanders in various places in the Song Dynasty that the combat effectiveness of both the horse, infantry and naval forces has become increasingly weak and low. Liu Menglong can only say that He was a big man who could be used for a purpose, but he was aware of the habits in the army and was definitely not the kind of good general who had the ability to build and command an elite navy in such an environment.
If Liu Menglong immediately groveled and begged him to surrender in order to save his life, Xiao Tang secretly would only look down on him even more. Of course, he would not worry about such unwillingness and surrender just because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. The surrendered general surrendered to his command. Now seeing Liu Menglong looking like he was ready to kill or behead him, Xiao Tang ordered his subordinates to escort Liu Menglong down, and then take him to Shuibo Liangshan and lock him up behind him. He was imprisoned in the village prison cell.
After this battle, the navy of Jiangning Prefecture under the command of Liu Menglong was almost completely wiped out, and more than 300 warships of various sizes were captured. Even if more than 2,000 people still escaped, they would not be able to do anything to the water in Liangshan. Threat. As for the more than 4,000 captured military health, they were also guarded by their own village leaders, and were assigned to various villages in Liangshan to do errands of feeding horses, cutting firewood, watching carts and cutting grass. Meng Wei, Jia Hu, and Zheng Hesan Niu Bangxi, who was originally captured alive, was stabbed in the vital part by Yin. Before the general could be escorted to Xiao Tang to be punished, he was already dead. Such a confidant under Gao Qiu in the Palace Commander's Mansion also died. He doesn't have much ability, and it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. But he can teach Gao Qiu, the old thief, to have more trouble in his heart before he fights against him.
At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jun, who was standing next to Xiao Tang, grinned again, and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Li Jun's ability to dispatch troops and generals in water battles is amazing. In terms of kung fu, I, Xiao Qi, think that I am not inferior to the heroes who are good at water in the world, but when it comes to leading the navy army to fight, it is not just me, I think all the brothers in the navy camp will also obey you."
The fast-talking Ruan Xiaoqi immediately expressed his attitude, because Xiao Tang had already told the leaders of the naval forces that in addition to guiding the naval battle from the side, Li Jun was mainly under the full command. Zhang Heng, who had been favored by Li Jun in the old days, seemed to have no objection to what Ruan Xiaoqi said. According to Xiao Tang's thinking, even though Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi were very capable in the water, they were rarely matched against them. The method he is best at during wartime is more inclined to the method of "Navy Special Forces Combat". According to the conventional and mainstream fighting methods, Li Jun's strengths are more focused on courage and strategy. When he conquered the other three bandits in the original work, The ability to lead the navy to achieve repeated military exploits was demonstrated through the planning and deployment before this water battle, and the timing during the battle was also demonstrated.
"It is only because of the recognition and promotion of brother Xiaotang and the hard work of all brothers that I, Li Jun, can also make a profit. I don't know how many more fights there will be in the future, and we will still need all the naval forces to gather together. Only by the concerted efforts of brothers with righteousness can great things be accomplished."
Li Jun said with a calm expression on his face, and then saluted Xiao Tang with clasped fists. Although he said it politely, his words naturally recognized Xiao Tang's important use of him, and basically confirmed that he was the leader of the navy in several mountains and rivers. position as a leading figure.
