Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

Throughout the next day, the officers and soldiers in various camps kept beating drums and shouting to kill.

This is the efforts of various military governors to boost morale and encourage soldiers to prepare for battle.

One battle determines the outcome!

Liangshan, however, had no plans or ideas to rush into a battle.

The camp was tightly closed, and there was no plan for the main force to go out to fight.

The current situation is favorable to Liangshan. Wang Lun will not be led by the enemy.

……

Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, and Yang Zhi led their cavalry to attack again, riding horses and patrolling all around the perimeter of the officers and soldiers' camp.

The drums were beating loudly in the officers and soldiers camp, and a large number of infantry and cavalry were dispatched out of the camp to protect the grain roads in the rear.

There are constant boats on the river, trying to shorten the distance to the camp to ensure supplies.

There are 120,000 officers and soldiers plus civilian camps stretching for dozens of miles. The number of people is more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000. The daily consumption is extremely staggering. The rivers are full of grain ships. Under the harassment of Liangshan cavalry, The ships were getting closer and closer.

By the afternoon, the land food route was cut off by the Liangshan cavalry, and a large number of civilians were protected by officers and soldiers on the left side of the camp near the river. The pits were full of heads.

Fortunately, the Liangshan cavalry did not pursue the civilians, otherwise the effect would be similar to bombing the camp.

Wang Huan and others saw that the situation was not good, so they only sent soldiers and horses to guard the connection between the river side and the camp, and abandoned the official road in the rear.

After more than a day, after losing the cavalry battle, the overall situation of the officers and soldiers was already quite bad.

A large area in the periphery was cleared by Liangshan cavalry, and no officers or soldiers could pass through.

The overland food route was cut off and the civilians scattered, leaving less than 20,000 people on the left side of the camp near the dock. They were still frightened and panicked at the slightest disturbance.

The surrounding sentries were blocked and unable to observe the situation of the Liangshan camp, let alone send cavalry or a small group of elites to destroy the Liangshan army's formation.

It was also a mess inside itself.

Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Xu Jing, Jing Zhong, Li Congji and others are all battle-hardened.

The reason why they did not fight immediately was because they had come a long way and the soldiers were tired and their footing was unstable.

A hasty battle is extremely detrimental.

But they never expected that the Liangshan cavalry was so sharp. In just over a day, they were at a loss of ground and were in a dilemma.

……

By the third day, the gates of more than a dozen camps of officers and soldiers were open. On the 15th

, when the sky was dimming, the camp was already out and the formation was arranged.

They came out so early, they should be preparing just after midnight.

But there was no movement in Liangshan opposite.

Only the cavalry came out again, and the rumble of horse hooves kept ringing around the main force of officers and soldiers.

The faces of all the officers and soldiers changed color in horror.

The threat and pressure the cavalry put on them was too great.

And when the officers and soldiers marched several miles.

In front of me are dense antlers that resist horses, and huge wooden stakes are buried in the long diagonal trenches on both sides.

In less than three days, the camp here in Liangshan has changed.

The trees were almost cleared.

The bushes disappear.

On the empty official road, dense fortifications appeared on the fields. The fortifications behind the fortifications were also tall and solid. A sheep and horse wall as tall as a person was winding like the Great Wall, covering each fortification behind it.

In addition, there are trenches, deep pits, pickets, antlers, horses, and sheep and horses walls everywhere. The camp itself is also built with wooden fences, with sharpened pickets facing the outside. In addition, hundreds of people can be accommodated. The archery tower for shooting at the same time...

Wang Huan and others were dumbfounded when they saw it.

This defense is comparable to a fortified city!

Not to mention that there are only 40,000 more people, but there is still a difference in combat power, and there is also the threat of superiority from the Liangshan cavalry.

Even if there were more than 100,000 people... they would not dare to head-first into this solid fortress!

"It's over...how to attack this?"

"Wang Lun is so insidious. He mobilized at least 100,000 people to dig out this fortification in the past two days!"

"When we first arrived, they had just set up camps along the official road and on both sides. There were not so many antlers trenches and sheep and horse walls at all!"

"There are also those densely packed archery towers, how the hell are you going to attack them?"

"The strength advantage of more than 40,000 people is not enough!"

"No matter how many 40,000 people there are, we can't attack by force!"

"Originally, we could assume a strong attack stance, cut off their camp connections, and force them to fight. Now... return to camp, return to camp!"

The eight Jiedushi gathered together this time, and everyone frowned.

The outer sentries were blocked tightly by the Liangshan cavalry.

Today, the main force came out, and then slowly pushed to the center of the battlefield, and then saw Liangshan The strength of the army's defense.

It's better not to see it than to see it.

Heart-breaking!

In less than three days, the Liangshan Army took full advantage of the cavalry!

Not only did it harass the rear, cut off the land food route, but also completely destroyed the reconnaissance of the officers and soldiers. Blocked.

With such a strong defense in front of them, the Jiedushi with all their main forces had no idea of ​​attacking by force.

If there were tens of thousands of grass bandits on the opposite side, they could still try.

But what the Liangshan Army has shown in the past few days has already called these bodies The military governor who has experienced hundreds of battles is very clear and understands that his side has no advantage at all!

The command and fighting style of Wang Lun, the leader of Liangshan University, in the past few days, has already led them around by the nose.

Before the main force gathered, From the moment he arrived, everything was under Wang Lun's control and control!

The feeling now is that he is aggrieved and unable to use his strength!

"Returning to camp is not an option... Could it be that all the main force is sent back, the food route is opened, the camp retreats, and the court asks for reinforcements?"

"Will the imperial court give us reinforcements? I wish we and the Liangshan Army would fight and perish together."

"Just tell the truth. If this continues, Wang Lun will still have a backup plan. This person is too powerful. I'm afraid we will all be wiped out, and Liangshan will not suffer any losses!"

"That's true. We still need to petition for help. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse."

"Alas... I was very happy when I came here, but now I am...……"

"We still have more soldiers, 120,000 vs. 80,000, so we still have an advantage. As long as we are careful about cavalry sneak attacks, we still have the advantage."

"I wonder what’s going on over there in Xuzhou?"

"Fifteen thousand versus five thousand, you can't lose your old capital, right?"

"Qizhou's Zhang Kai was beaten so badly by Su Ding that he might be completely defeated!"

"Don't talk anymore, be careful if those below listen to it, the morale of the army will drop again."

Wang Huan also had no choice but to remind him, but he didn't dare to act like a general.

Wang Huan also secretly hated it in his heart.

Originally, whenever there was a big war, either Tong Guan or Gao Qiu would come forward to take command and take credit.

This time when we fight Liangshan, it is expected that the war will not go well. It will be a hard fight.

In the end, no one is in charge, and only this old man is called the leader. He says he is the leader, but who listens to him?

Now that the situation is not going well and people are scattered, this battle will be even harder to fight!

Wang Huanmi Looking towards the opposite side, the weather was getting hotter in early summer, but his heart was cold.

This Wang Lun... was the most terrifying opponent the old man had encountered in his lifetime of fighting. He was obviously very strong, but now he was leaving the turtle formation and refused to accept the battle..

This is to continue to consume the physical strength, morale, and food of the officers and soldiers...

Wait until the moment when the confidence is greatest and the loss is minimal.

Wang Huan also sneered.

If you don't take the fight today, the old man will definitely take the fight tomorrow?

Let's shrink too. In the camp, I will not fight with you until the imperial court sends tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to assist you!

……

"The boss, the officers and soldiers have retreated"

"The array is chaotic, with mixed steps and cavalry.……"

Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong... (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

All of them shook their heads.

It was obvious that he had great contempt for the performance of the officers and soldiers.

These people are all officers and soldiers, and they can be regarded as descending generals.

The performance of the officers and soldiers was too poor, and their faces were disgraced.

At this time, more than 100,000 officers and soldiers were slowly retreating.

The array was a mess.

If we are prepared at this time and the cavalry attacks, I am afraid that the final decision will be made!

Wang Lun smiled and said:"Wang Huan and the others are probably planning to report to the court to ask for reinforcements. They will have to mobilize at least several thousand elite cavalry to continue the battle... But the court will not mobilize troops. This time it is obvious In this plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves, the more ferociously Shijiedu screams, the happier the high-ranking officials of the imperial court will be. They are all doomed. The imperial court has eliminated ten of its henchmen. What has there to lose? The imperial court does not believe that they will fail miserably. The most they can do is fight with us. Seven, seven, eighty-eight, both sides are hurting their muscles and bones. This is the result that the court wants most. So we don’t have to worry... the further we go, the smaller the price we have to pay for victory!"

"The boss is wise!"

"We believe in the boss!"

The leaders present all looked convinced.

Up until now, the real battle has been the confrontation of thousands of cavalry.

But Wang Luleng relied on the victory of the elite cavalry to expand his advantage bit by bit. As soon as the fog of war lifted, the officers and soldiers were restrained everywhere. After a few days, they couldn't fight or escape...

Wang Lun was very sure.[]

Wang Huan and the others can't hold on for much longer.

……

"click……"

A warship of officers and soldiers was burning in the raging fire, soon broke into two parts, and sank in the Yishui River.

Dozens of Liangshan boats, also known as Douges, flew down the river like shuttles, chasing the remaining warships. The leader stood in front of the boat, with his chest bare, revealing a leopard tattoo.

Lin Chong on the bank shook his head and smiled.

Ruan Xiaoqi's temper... He is already in command, and he also likes to be at the forefront during water battles.

Behind them is the battleship team composed of galleys, with Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi at the bow.

Yishui is vast and spacious, much wider and deeper than Jishui, Glue and Laishui.

There are also Shu River, Huai River, and the Yellow River after its diversion.

You can go directly to Jeju.

Guarding Jeju was Commander Lin Chong, and Wang Lun was quite assured of Lin Chong. Coach Lin's character, ability, and experience were enough to become a major general.

Lin Chong also lived up to his trust and set up camp along the river to protect the prefecture city and nearby counties.

And coming from afar, along the river, was Yang Wen, the Lingling Jiedu envoy of Jiangxia. Most of his subordinates were Shuiying, with less than 200 cavalry, and almost all of them were Shuiying infantry.

The officers and soldiers went up the river, and a large number of grain supplies and personnel were on the water.

In addition to ordinary ships, there are dozens of warships equipped with crossbows and charge horns.

The Song Dynasty was also very strange.

Obviously foreign trade is developed and the shipbuilding industry is extremely developed.

But the naval force has never been strong.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo, who rebelled in Dongting Lake, controlled more than a dozen counties, reaching Hubei Public Security Bureau in the north and Changsha in Hunan in the south. The entire Qianli Lake and a large amount of territory had become a serious concern in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As a result, the serious navy of the Song Army could not defeat these rebels, and the quality of the vehicles and ships built by the Southern Song Dynasty was very poor. After the rebels took them and imitated them, the quality far exceeded the officers and soldiers of the navy, and they repeatedly defeated the Southern Song Navy who came to crusade on the lake.

Later, Prime Minister Zhang Jun was sent to supervise the division, and troops were sent from land in early summer to destroy all the farmland in the territory controlled by the rebels and cut off their summer harvest. Then he sent out famous generals like Yue Fei, leading elites like the Yue Family Army. The land route continued to attack the city, which eventually led to internal fighting among the rebels. Only then did they succeed in quelling the rebellion and killed Yang Mo.

Over the next hundred years or so, the private shipbuilding industry in the Southern Song Dynasty became more and more developed and traveled further and further.

The battleships showed little improvement.

The most surprising thing is that the river surface cannot be guarded, and Meng Yuan can easily cross the river.

That’s all.

Later, Lu Xiufu and others gathered hundreds of thousands of people from the Southern Song Dynasty's small court at sea to fight against the Yuan invaders. As a result... the

Southern Song Dynasty navy was defeated by the navy from the north and was defeated. After escaping, they encountered a typhoon and suffered heavy losses. In the end, the land army Hideo jumped into the sea and died for his country with the little emperor in his arms, thus ending the two Song dynasties.

The navy of the Northern Song Dynasty... let alone that.

This naval force that came north from Jiangxia was quite brave. After all, many of the military attachés were from Green Forest.

But the 127 methods of water warfare can only be said to be inexperienced.

Going upstream with headwinds, how dare you go head-to-head with Liang Shanshui?

Maybe it was relying on those"cars and boats".

This thing also appeared and was equipped at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The hull is larger, much larger than a galley.

The galley is fifty-five meters long, and the longest of this large car and boat is more than sixty meters, which is quite a lot longer.

The smallest ones are about fifty meters long, about the same size as a galley.

There are also watchtowers on the hull, and the hull below the watchtowers is also covered with protective fenders.

It can be equipped with fenders and is divided into two layers. It can be designed like this because the vehicle and ship have no mast.

Vehicles and ships are equipped with vehicle pedals on both sides of the ship's side. The wheels can spin like flying and move extremely fast on the water.

There are several types of shapes: two rounds, eight rounds, and twenty-four rounds.

The largest vehicle and boat is the twenty-four-wheel design.

There are twelve wheels on each side, and the pedal wheels travel on the river. The upper part of the hull and the guards on both sides can prevent attacks from long-range weapons. There are also push rods to prevent enemy ships from ramming or firing. attack.

This thing, at least at the time, was definitely the most advanced river and lake warship.

That's right, this boat can be used in rivers and lakes. It has no mast. If it sails on the sea with its feet... Who dares to have such an idea will probably be beaten to death by the sailors?

Galleys also have long oars to row on the sea, but firstly, they are offshore, and secondly, galleys and sails still have sails!

When the wind blows in the sea, you open your soft sail and stop paddling.

On the river and offshore, the oars can speed up and sail in accordance with the wind.

If you are in the deep sea, just rely on sails.

Cars and boats have wheels but no sails. Driving into the deep sea is really dangerous!

Originally, these officers and soldiers from Jiangxia, relying on more than a dozen large vehicles and ships, were rampaging all the way, combining water and land, and defeated the Liangshan Army of only 5,000 people in one fell swoop.

Who knew that Lin Chong's defense was extremely stable and did not give Yang Wen a chance. Most of the Jiedushi from Jiangxia was on the water, and he was unable to use it.

The two sides came and went, but Lin Chong held the camp firmly, did not greedy for success, did not advance rashly, controlled the key land passes, and did not teach the officers and soldiers to enter Jeju by land.

Yang Wen could not attack for a long time, so he simply gave up the land cover and moved most of his force north along the Yishui River.

This time, I happened to bump into the long-awaited Liang Shanshui Camp!

The three Ruan brothers led the main force of the water camp to attack halfway!

Galleys are the main warships, attacking with large and small crossbows and charging angles.

What's even more terrifying is the large number of fire pots. These small boats are very fast, and they have prepared a large number of clay pots filled with strong fire oil. There are many push rods on the officers and soldiers' vehicles, but they prevent more than one of these fire pots from being smashed over and several pots falling. , the entire ship burned uncontrollably.

After less than an hour of fighting, most of the warships of the officers and soldiers were burning on the river, and only a few warships escaped.

More grain ships were carrying heavy drafts and had no way to escape. They had become turtles in the urn and fruits on the trees, allowing the soldiers of Liang Shanshui Camp to pick them at will..
