Chapter eight hundred and eighteenth from the factory supervisor
At this time, Song Jiang looked extremely remorseful and said to Chao Gai: "Brother Chao Gai, this incident is all my fault. If I hadn't suggested attacking the county seat, I wouldn't have provoked the imperial army to suppress it..."
When Chao Gai heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Brother Xian, what are you talking about? When you proposed to attack the county, we brothers had discussed it, so this matter has nothing to do with brother Xian, brother Xian also
Don’t blame yourself.”
As he spoke, Chao Gai's eyes flashed and he said: "Are we, the Liangshan brothers, still afraid of that rabble in the imperial court?"
Sitting among the leaders, Kong Ming and Kong Liang brothers, as Song Jiang's disciples, can be said to be Song Jiang's absolute confidants and supporters. After listening to Chao Gai's words, Kong Ming immediately said: "Brother Chao Gai is right, we
We all worked together to destroy that group of imperial troops and let the imperial court know that we in Liangshan are not so easy to control."
Gongsun Sheng, who was stroking his beard, looked at Song Jiang, his eyes fell on Chao Gai and said: "Some people in the rivers and lakes say that we Liangshan, Jiangnan La, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Hebei Tianhu are collectively called the four major bandits.
Our reputation as a place of water and waves in Liangshan Mountains is well deserved..."
"Pa"
I heard a sound, and I saw Li Kui, who was as black as the bottom of a pot, with his chest exposed, and said with a fierce face: "Fuck grandpa, who said this, Grandpa Li Kui chopped his head with a wooden ax in his hand..."
"
Seeing Li Kui getting angry, Song Jiang couldn't help but cough lightly and said: "Tieniu, sit down and talk."
After hearing Song Jiang's words, Li Kui immediately sat down and said with an aggrieved look: "I, Tieniu, didn't say anything that I shouldn't have said."
Song Jiang glared at Li Kui, stood up and cupped his hands towards Chao Gai and said: "Brother Chao Gai, all our brothers are here today, but we have to pay attention to this matter. You must know that once our reputation in Liangshan is ruined, then what will happen to us?"
What is directly affected is the future of our Liangshan."
Looking around at the crowd, Song Jiang said solemnly: "Everyone knows that the most important thing in the world is reputation. If we in Liangshan want to grow stronger, we must gather like-minded people from all over the world. But if our reputation is ruined, we can only
I’m afraid no one will be willing to join us in Shuibo Liangshan.”
Taking a deep breath, Song Jiang bowed to the crowd and said, "This is also the fundamental reason why Song proposed to attack the county in the first place, because Song Jiang knew that only in this way could he break the rumors in the world and let people in the world
We know that our Shuibo Lingshang is no worse than La in the south of the Yangtze River and Wang Qing in the Huaixi."
When many leaders heard what Song Jiang said, they couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces. It turned out that Song Jiang had such an intention in proposing to attack the state capital. They really had wrongly blamed Song Jiang.
With a slight cough, Chao Gai suddenly stood up. His burly figure was so eye-catching in the Juyi Hall. Chao Gai's eyes widened with anger, he looked around at the crowd and said: "Brothers, the imperial court is really bullying people too much. Such a small
Look at us, tens of thousands of troops actually want to destroy Liangshan, what do you think we should do?"
"Destroy him!"
"Destroy him!"
The crowd immediately started shouting, and their morale was so high that it was hard to believe that this was actually a gathering place for a group of thieves.
Among the crowd, a traveler sat there with a calm expression, as if the external world had nothing to do with him.
This person is none other than Wu Song, who killed Ximen Qing, entered Liangshan after many twists and turns, and became a bandit.
The strange encounters in life are really unbelievable. Even Wu Song himself could not have imagined that one day he would fall into the hands of a bandit.
You must know that a few years ago, he was a Wudutou in Yanggu County, and his life was extremely happy. However, a disaster suddenly struck, and his brother, who depended on him for life, was killed by Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. How could Wu Song not be so angry about it?
burn
Even if Wu Song was given another chance to choose, Wu Song would definitely choose to kill Ximen Qing to avenge his brother.
Wu Song naturally didn't want to kill someone to pay for his life, but after several twists and turns, he became a member of Liangshan.
In fact, Chu Yi sent someone to recruit Wu Song back then, but Wu Song was living a leisurely life in Yanggu County at that time, and Wu Song was ashamed of Chu Yi's status as a servant, so he rejected Chu Yi's invitation.
Wu Song was really a prodigy in martial arts. When he was young, he was taught the training method by a stranger, which laid the foundation for his career. Later, he became a disciple of Zhou Tong. Under Zhou Tong's training, he made rapid progress. Finally, not long ago, he was born and raised.
He broke through the bottleneck and entered the realm of heaven and man.
There were dozens of heroes gathered in Shuibo Liangshan, but none of them had truly entered the realm of heaven and man. The most powerful one was undoubtedly Chao Gai.
Chao Gai's cultivation level has not long ago broken through to the half-step of heaven and human realm. It can be said that his strength is not bad, and there are not many heaven and human beings who can compare with him.
In fact, the leaders of Liangshan are a mixed bag. The strong ones are like Wu Song, Chao Gai, and even the strong ones who can see the realm of heaven and man. The weak ones are like Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Song Jiang, and even their cultivation level is not among the innate ones. And Song Jiang
Not to mention, he is simply a helpless person.
On this day, the imperial army, led by Xuan Zan, Qin Ming and Suo Chao, came to the water and stopped at Liangshan.
Tens of thousands of troops were encamped in a dark mass between the water moorings. Looking from the water mooring to the shore, one could see a series of military camps. At first glance, the momentum was extremely shocking.
Qin Ming, Suo Chao, and Xuanzan are not ordinary people. At least among the many generals of the Song Dynasty, their ability to command troops can at least be ranked in the middle and upper reaches. Therefore, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, Qin Ming, Suo Chao, and others have set up a
The military camp seems to be in chaos, but there is quite a bit of knowledge inside. If you don't understand the inner workings of setting up a camp and rashly come to rob the camp, the possibility of successfully robbing the camp is very slim.
It was a sunny and windy day, and on the surface of the Shuibo Lake, which was hundreds of miles in radius, boats one after another were heading towards Liangshan, which was located in the water.
As a local leader, on his own territory, the movements of the imperial army are naturally in Liangshan's hands at all times.
As the leaders of the navy, the Ruan brothers were now tasked with sniping at the imperial troops on the water.
The Ruan brothers had an unexpected encounter in their early years. The three brothers had developed a miraculous skill and were able to perform beyond their abilities in the water.
With the Ruan brothers' cultivation at the pinnacle of the Grand Master realm, if they were in the water, they would be able to compete with the strongest men at the Supreme Grand Master realm.
Now the Ruan brothers are leading hundreds of navy troops to lurk in the water. Pieces of reeds cover most of the huge water. If ships or personnel are hidden among the reeds, unless they are close at hand,
Otherwise, it would be difficult to detect it even if you pay attention intentionally.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Suo Chao looked at the continuous reeds in front of him and frowned.
If they had a choice, they would never risk taking the initiative to attack Shuibo Liangshan. Fools all know that if they want to deal with these thieves entrenched on the water, the method is actually very simple. The most effective method is to use siege.
Food shortage
Tens of thousands of thieves gathered on an island, and even if they accumulated some, they probably wouldn't be able to sustain them for long with just food and grass.
Not to mention more, they just casually besieged it for a year, and they didn't believe that they couldn't drag the bandits across the island.
It's just that they knew that such an effective method could not be used, because before they set off, both the emperor and Gao Qi asked them to put down the Liangshan rebellion in the shortest possible time in order to deter Huaixi.
Wang Qing, Hebei Tianhu and others.
As the saying goes, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is like this. The imperial court's plan was to suppress the weakest group in Liangshan with a thunderous force, frighten Wang Qing and Tian Hu, and then carry out the move to recruit them.
If it can recruit peace, the imperial court will definitely not mind using an official position to settle the rebellion. Of course, the premise is to make these thieves fearful. Otherwise, even if the court wants to recruit peace, it will have to do with Wang Qing, Tian Hu and the others.
Thoughts.
It is precisely because of this that Xuan Zan, Qin Ming, Suo Chao and others knew that the method of siege without attacking was the most effective, but they had no choice but to choose the lowest method.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Suo Chao's thoughts were flying. Few people knew that he was actually from Dongchang. As early as a few years ago, Suo Chao was secretly absorbed by Dongchang and became a member of Dongchang.
However, Suo Chao was still developing in the army and did not enter Dongchang. Suo Chao couldn't help but think of a secret letter sent to him by someone from the Admiral of Dongchang, the current King of Guangyang County, before the army set off.
The content of the secret letter made Suo Chao feel very upset, because Chu Yi's letter to him stated that the army's encirclement and suppression of Shuibo Liangshan would inevitably fail.
One can imagine how surprised Suo Chao was when he saw the letter, at least Suo Chao himself didn't want to believe it.
If the letter hadn't been sent by Chu Yi, Suo Chao would have doubted the authenticity of the letter.
Even so, Suo Chao was unwilling to believe Chu Yi's prediction. In Suo Chao's view, they commanded an army of 30,000 people. Coupled with Qin Ming's bravery, Xuan Zan's calmness, and his cultivation, Suo Chao really couldn't believe it.
What did Chu Shuibo Liangshan rely on to make them fail? Chu Yi even had to tell him specifically that he must put his own life first no matter what.
While his thoughts were wandering, he saw the ship suddenly swaying, and then a murderous intention loomed, and Suo Chao rose into the air almost instinctively.
The moment Suo Chao took off into the air, a big hole exploded out of the originally solid bow.
Suo Chao's vehicle was naturally not an ordinary ship, but a large ship several feet long. However, at this moment, a large hole appeared in the bow of the ship, and a figure was rushing out of the large hole, with a cold light shining directly towards him.
Suo Chao narrowed his eyes and whizzed down with the golden ax in his hand. The huge golden ax struck down towards the head of the incoming man with a sound of breaking through the air.
Ruan Xiaoer penetrated the ship directly under the water, and used the water thorn in his hand to reach Suo Chao's heart. However, Ruan Xiaoer did not expect Suo Chao to be so powerful, especially that powerful golden axe.
A flash of cold light fell down on his head.
With an instinctive move, Ruan Xiaoer dived into the water like a flexible fish.
After entering the water, Ruan Xiaoer was like a dragon in the sea. The water was Ruan Xiaoer's territory. After avoiding several volley attacks from Suo Chao, he kept stimulating Suo Chao with words.
Suo Chao had just fought with Ruan Xiaoer and had a rough idea of Ruan Xiaoer's cultivation. The opponent's cultivation was actually not bad, but in a head-on fight, Suo Chao was sure that he could severely damage the opponent in twenty rounds.
However, Ruan Xiaoer fell into the water, which gave Suo Chao a headache. Suo Chao's water resistance was only average. The car was destroyed by Ruan Xiaoer. After several fights with no results, Suo Chao's figure
Then he landed on a boat.
This boat was not big and could only accommodate three or five people at most. Suo Chao was sitting on the boat alone, holding a golden ax in his hand and staring at the water with a shining light in his eyes.
Suddenly, several water splashes exploded on the surface of the water, and two figures were seen shooting out from two places.
"Hahaha, the court dog officer, why don't you hurry up and arrest him!"
Another person appeared, but it was Ruan Xiaowu.
Ruan Xiaoer was one step behind Suo Chao, but with the addition of Ruan Xiaowu, Suo Chao really couldn't withstand the siege of the Ruan brothers. What's more, this was without Ruan Xiaoqi taking action. If the three brothers were together
If Qi takes action, it won't be a problem to capture Suo Chao.
It's not that Ruan Xiaoqi is watching the joke, it's that Ruan Xiaoqi is not here at all at the moment. After all, the imperial army leads the army with Suo Chao as the vanguard, and Qin Ming leads the army behind.
Ruan Xiaoqi is actually ambushing Qin and Ming troops at the moment.
Suo Chao narrowed his eyes and swung the golden ax in his hand violently. A jingling sound was heard, and several items from Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu flew out simultaneously.
With a pop, two figures fell into the water, but Suo Chao also swayed and took a few steps back.
Click, click
There was a sudden clicking sound, and Suo Chao's feet sank into the wooden planks of the boat, causing two big holes to come out of the boat.
Apparently, when Suo Chao was fighting Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, he subconsciously vented the power that invaded his body to his feet.
However, Suo Chao obviously forgot that he was not on the earth, but on the water. As soon as he stepped down, the small boat was obviously destroyed.
Seeing that the whole person was about to sink into the water, Suo Chao struck the surface of the water with an axe, and there was a loud bang on the surface of the water, and the water column jumped several feet high. And Suo Chao also took advantage of this backlash.
With such force, he soared into the sky, his figure took a few steps in the air, and landed far away on a large military ship.
At this time, the thousands of officers and soldiers who were the vanguard had fallen into chaos. The navy led by Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were all people who were proficient in water properties on Liangshan.
It is conceivable that these people are as at home in the water as if they were at home, and in their eyes, all the ships of the government and army are scuttleable.
Even Suo Chao was not able to discover these people in time, which shows that these people have high water quality.
The vanguard army consisted of thousands of people, and dozens of ships were in a mess on the water. Most of the ships were directly penetrated, and the gurgling lake water only poured into the ships.
Hundreds of soldiers had to abandon the ship and flee. However, less than half of these soldiers were able to handle water. The result after falling into the water was to drown in the water.
Suo Chao landed on a large ship. Looking around, he could see the vanguard army wailing for help everywhere, but the Liangshan bandits were invisible in the water.
Even if they tried their best to defend themselves, they still could not change the opponent's behavior of drilling through the ship from the water. The direct consequence was that Suo Chao and his men could not find many opponents even if they wanted to kill the enemy.
Most of the things floating on the water are the corpses of the imperial soldiers who were not water-resistant. Occasionally, you can see a few Liangshan soldiers and horses who were shot like hedgehogs.
With a bang, Suo Chao knocked down the golden ax in the water again, and a ball of blood quickly spread out. However, several water thieves were shocked to death underwater by Suo Chao's axe.
.
But Suo Chao's heart sank. He saw the ships around him sinking one after another, and a large number of soldiers drowned. For some reason, Suo Chao remembered Chu Yi's instructions.
