Chapter 1578 Ruan's Three Heroes, Liangshan's Barrier
A large number of refugees from the Song Dynasty who were brought here for resettlement gathered at Liangshan Bojin Beach and other waterside shores. The weather was still a bit cold in early spring, and bonfires were lit among the crowds of people everywhere to keep warm. Supervisor
Li Yun, the leader who built and repaired the houses, ordered the soldiers in the village to cut down the trees behind the mountain and build simple shacks for the refugees to live in. Cao Zheng, Sun Xin, Sister-in-law Gu and other leaders sent people to distribute porridge and provide relief.
The Jin army had swept away a large number of counties and towns under the rule of Jeju. Fortunately, Xiao Tang still retained Liangshanbo and Erlongshan as two strong bases after accepting the appointment of the Song court. Groups of refugees and civilians had to be extradited to Liangshan for refuge. The Jurchens
Rumors about the cruelty and cruelty of soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty had long been spread among the people of Song Dynasty. Now when the rumored nightmare is about to come, the official army still shows a very weak decline in the face of the foreign invasion.
We can only rely on Shuibo Liangshan, led by Xiao Tang, as our last resort.
However, as a large number of refugees poured into Liangshan, the treasury reserves in the village were also depleted. What shocked the Song people who took refuge was that they could hear faint sounds coming from the wide lakes on all sides of Liangshan every day.
The sound of killing was heard. Looking through the dense reeds at night, one could still see the flickering firelights on the water. Even if there were several navy troops stationed in Liangshanbo, they could resist the Jin troops who were trying to cross the water by boat.
However, no one knows whether the Jin army will break through the defense line and suddenly land to kill the generals.
However, during these days, the Jin Army made several tentative attacks. For Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, the three commanders of the navy stationed in Liangshanbo, the pressure they faced was not very severe.
.
Every time a water battle occurs on the Liangshanbo Lake, both sides are fortified. However, in addition to regular patrols and fishing boats, Liangshanbo is also equipped with many strong and tall warships. On the other hand, the Jin Army and the Puppet Qi
Most of the ships equipped with soldiers and horses are temporary or civilian ships. Judging from the size of the hull and sails, the Jin army looks more like a mixed group of water pirates. After all, although the Jin army is bound to embezzle the Song Dynasty
However, there was no planned formation of a large fleet to prepare for a large-scale water battle with the Song Army.
Xiao Tang also knew that in official history, even after twenty or thirty years when the Jin Kingdom occupied half of the Central Plains, when King Hailing sent his army to conquer the Song Dynasty in the south again, they suffered a disastrous defeat in naval battles such as the Battle of Quarry. Except for the command of Yu Yunwen, a famous official in the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the Jin Dynasty,
If determined, the invincible Jin army on land was still far inferior to the Southern Song Dynasty navy in terms of the size of the naval warships. At first, Xiao Tang used the Mizhou Shipping Department to purchase ships step by step, and Meng Kang, Ye Chun, etc.
With the skilled craftsmen supervising the construction of ships, and the large Song Navy ships captured in several naval battles, the eight naval forces under his command now have no inferior warships in terms of the size of the warships, or the water warfare capabilities of the water squadrons.
Only navy.
Since the soldiers and horses of the Jin Army appeared on the shore of Boshui in Liangshan, more and more soldiers and horses gathered and set up strongholds. Fleets were sent out from time to time to carry out exploratory attacks. The ships patrolling the ports around Liangshan were also sent out.
There was a lot of traffic, and as soon as they met each other on the water, the naval forces led by San Ruan immediately began to mobilize their ships to seize the upper hand and prepare for battle.
The Jin Army seems to have realized that most of their men are not experts in water warfare after all. It seems that some Song traitors in the Jingdong Road area who invested money have reported to this day that the navy of the army and navy that conquered Shuibo Liangshan has been repeatedly defeated.
Because of their experience, they did not make a desperate effort to gather all the ships and directly attack them. However, the navy warships under the Ruan family's three heroes were well-equipped, and they stayed at the Liangshan River to wait for work, so they might still be able to cope with the situation at hand.
As the eldest brother of the three Ruan family members, Lidi Taisui Ruan Xiaoer often feels a little anxious due to the intrusion of the Jin army these days. He, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi are certainly among the best in the water.
, but their generals in water battles are not handsome men. In the past, when fighting the enemy on the water, the three heroes of the Ruan family were best at driving a few stern boats to lure the enemy deep, and then use their proficiency in water and boat navigation.
He has the ability to sneak away from his enemies and then join the gang himself, fighting with the enemy on the water and in the water...
But when it comes to the ability to arrange large and small warships to line up and give orders during large-scale water battles, Ruan Xiaoer knows that he is even worse than Hunjianglong Li Jun, or even Xu Dadao, Xu Wen and other leaders
Therefore, in the face of several harassments from the Jin army, he, the most serious-tempered brother among the three Ruan brothers, did not dare to rely on others. He tried his best to use the skills of his men in the water squad to steer and steer the oars to constantly adjust the team.
Due to their shape and speed, they were bound to intercept the Jin Army, the Tatars and the Pseudo Qi Si Niao. No one in a boat could set foot on the shore of Liangshan in the opposite water.
Ruan Xiaowu's situation is somewhat similar to that of Ruan Xiaoer. In the past, he was very good at steering a small boat to deal with the enemy on the water. Even if he was given a few small fishing boats for civilian fishing, he would be able to control several small boats in the waters of Liangshanbo.
The officers and soldiers who were twice his own were able to escape, but the navy under his command was equipped with many large warships. Although Ruan Xiaowu could also display his skills in water warfare, he felt that his hands were tied. And several small-scale battles
On the other hand, Ruan Xiaoqi was the happiest in the water war. The water squadron soldiers he commanded were also equipped with small warships such as centipede speedboats and flying knife fish boats. Whenever they encountered enemy ships harassed by the Jin army, he would
He always led his men in the water squad to sail straight towards the place where the enemy ships gathered.
In this round of confrontation, the arrow clusters shot from several swaying Jin army ships did not reach the rebel speedboats that were speeding in the distance, and fell into the water one after another, causing ripples in circles.
Then it rippled on the water surface of Liangshan Po.
"Pounce on the bird-poking boat on the other side and let go of the arrows! Shoot the damn thing!"
As Ruan Xiaoqi shouted loudly, the sailor brothers on the knifefish boat he was on responded loudly, and immediately started to rock the oars. The boats cut through the waves on the water faster and faster, and then there was a fierce roar.
The sound of piercing the sky suddenly started, and the sharp arrows fired from the rebel speedboats hit more than a dozen ships not far away from the diagonal side. Immediately, thirty or forty Jin Army infantry who had been bumping on the ship turned over after being hit by the arrows, and fell into the
in water.
Before the two sides were in close combat, arrows were roaring from the ship. Many boats that were forcibly recruited by the Jin Army and the Puppet Qi Army were shot like sieves. Ruan Xiaoqi immediately whistled in his mouth, and all kinds of fast boatmen were given orders.
Fei Ye seemed to be rocking the oar, driving the warships to swim in circuitous ways, not afraid of being surrounded by enemy ships, but instead disrupting the formation of the enemy's ships.
"Dog Tatar, if you can catch up with grandpa's ship, you guys are really capable!"
Ruan Xiaoqi laughed heartily, and when he led twenty or thirty speedboats to circle around on the water, he happened to see three or four ships diagonally sideways spinning around on the water, and some of them were shouting at the top of their lungs, "Anyway?" After giving the order, the soldiers hurriedly stabilized the bumpy ship on the water before it capsized and fell into the water.
"A straight mother can only catch a bird and survive for a while, but she can't help but go into the water to feed the bastard!"
Ruan Xiaoqi yelled and cursed, and then saw the enemy ships gathered on both sides behind him were heading towards him in a hurry, so he simply took off the bamboo hat and raincoat he was wearing and was about to dive into the water, but when he Seeing that Zhang Rong beside him had already held the polygonum leaf-pointed knife in his mouth, and was also shirtless making a gesture to plunge Mengzi into the water with him, Ruan Xiaoqi immediately stared and shouted: "You kid, what kind of bird monster do you want to do? "
Zhang Rongchuo held the Polygonum leaf-pointed knife in his hand and said directly to Ruan Xiaoqi: "Brother Qi, if you want to kill the birds on those ships, but the castration is slowed down, Zhemo will be intercepted by the gathering enemy ships. Isn't it convenient for you?" Are you going to dive in person to capsize those bird boats? At least I will go with you, so we can take care of each other!"
"Nonsense! You and He Cheng, the two brothers who have to command the water squad, wait until I kill those few birds on the boat and then swim back to meet you. In the water of Liangshanbo, who can grandpa use to help?"
"Brother Qi, you must be a general in charge of the navy. How can you go and do it alone when you are inspired? It must be me who wants to go, but you are from Liangshanbo, and I did not grow up playing in the water in Liangshanbo. of?"
Hearing Ruan and Zhang bickering in the audience, He Cheng, the leader of the water squad under Ruan Xiaoqi, was already used to it. In addition to several leaders such as Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun in the Liangshan water army, He Cheng's knowledge also I have never heard that the generals of the army and navy would eagerly dive into the water with their shirtless arms halfway through the battle, and then dive alone to overturn the enemy's ship... ..And Ruan Xiaoqi, who only wants to have fun when he is sexually active, and dares to do anything, and Zhang Rong, who is straightforward and straightforward, are destined to be unable to calm down when they are paired together. Even though it is the time of war, He Cheng can't see this. Still couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, He Cheng's eyes quickly condensed, and he immediately stood up and looked around. After a while, he shouted loudly: "Brother Qi, stop here! Another group of ships crashed out of Luogang, but they seemed to be blocked by Tatar ships. , but I don’t know where it came from!”
