Puzhou.
"Your Majesty Huang Wenbing pays homage to the Prime Minister!"
Huang Wenbing was waiting for the golf ball in Puzhou early.
"Is everything arranged?"
Gao Qiu looked at Huang Wenbing and asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. En, I've already sent out all my spies, and every move of the thief is under my surveillance!"
Huang Wenbing said that he came to Puzhou this time to serve as a frontline for Gao Qiu to destroy Liangshanbo.
"Didn't the thief notice it?"
Gao Qiu asked.
"Enxiang, the thief is stupid and doesn't understand anything at all. I asked my men to pretend to be farmers selling grain and sneaked into Liangshanbo easily."
Huang Wenbing said that he had been around Liangshanbo for so long and was very familiar with Liangshanbo. Although Sun Lei was a thief, he did not block the entire waterbore, which exposed a big flaw.
Above the Yellow River, Liu Menglong was marching with his navy in a mighty manner. Liu Menglong looked at the flags covering the sky and felt overjoyed in his heart. This was exactly the navy he wanted.
At this time, there were dark clouds in the sky and strong winds, which seemed to indicate something.
"There are enemies!"
Suddenly, the soldiers on the front boat roared, followed by a blast of horns.
"enemy?"
Liu Menglong grabbed a cable and climbed onto the mast. Sure enough, a large number of warships appeared on the river entering Liangshanbo in the distance.
"Get ready for battle, it's Liang Shanbo's warship!"
Liu Menglong shouted.
On the warship, the soldiers were ready to fight with their bows, crossbows and swords.
"Go forward at full speed and rush into the enemy's formation!"
Seeing that there were many warships on his side, Liu Menglong was ready to ram them directly to defeat Liangshanbo's navy. In his opinion, as long as he could destroy Liangshanbo's navy, even the loss of a hundred or so warships would be worthwhile.
"fire!"
Ruan Xiaoer looked at the rushing ships and sneered. This kind of attack would be very powerful in a small river. You can rely on boats to crush them. But this is the Yellow River, and it is still in the flood season. The river surface is wide and the current is fast. , it is impossible for those boats to block the entire water surface.
The roar of artillery sounded, and shells flew towards the official fleet. The hulls of the first few ships were instantly shattered. The ships began to take in water, and their speed also slowed down, and they were no longer under control.
"Take a roundabout way on both sides and keep hitting me!"
Seeing that the enemy ship had slowed down, Ruan Xiaoer waved his hand and gave an order. On the mast, the flag carriers waved their flags, and Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng led the ship in a detour toward both sides of the officers and soldiers.
The fleet did not stop its artillery while making a circuitous route. Although the moving ships made the artillery less accurate, it could not withstand the large number of official ships, and every shot could hit the official ship.
"Quick, spread out!"
Liu Menglong was shocked. He did not expect that the enemy's artillery was so powerful and his ship could not get close at all.
Suddenly, the sky changed again, a strong wind blew up on the river, and the ships hit by the waves rose and fell. The fleet of the officers and soldiers was in a mess, and the soldiers were a little unsteady on the ships.
"Isn't this enough wind and waves not enough?"
Fei Bao laughed when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the officers and soldiers. Their soldiers had seen the wind and waves on the sea. Although the ship was shaking violently, the soldiers stood as steady as Mount Tai without any disturbance.
The bombardment of artillery and the huge waves on the river made Liu Menglong instantly helpless. The naval tactics in his mind completely failed at this moment, and he could not even get close to the enemy's warship.
"Ashore! Ashore!"
Seeing that the enemy was not affected by the wind and waves at all, Liu Menglong felt distressed in his heart. The artillery was not very lethal, so he could resist forcefully, but there was nothing he could do about the soldiers' combat power on the water.
How can we fight when the enemy is on the water and they are staggering on the water? Even if they are fighting on the side, how can they be the opponent of the enemy?
How could Ruan Xiaoer let Liu Menglong get his wish? How could these fish and shrimps playing in Jinming Pond be the opponents of the dragon returning from the sea.
Ruan Xiaoer led the fleet and rushed straight towards Liu Menglong's fleet. Ruan Xiaoer's flagship had a huge copper ram on the bow, which was designed for collision.
When Liu Menglong was approaching the river bank, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the giant ship rushing towards him. His expression changed drastically. Before he could shout, the giant ship was already crushing him, and several small boats in front of him were crushed directly.
"run!"
Liu Menglong shouted that if he could turn the ship around, his flagship could still collide with Ruan Xiaoer, but now Ruan Xiaoer's ship hit his side, and he had no time to turn the ship sideways.
On the ship, officers and soldiers jumped into the water one after another. If the ship was hit and sunk, they would be sucked into the water by the current, and they would only drown.
"fire!"
Seeing that the opponent's flagship was sunk, Ruan Xiaoer ordered the gunfire again. At this time, his ship had already entered between the enemy ships. This gunfire instantly caused the center of the official fleet to bloom, causing countless casualties.
Fei Bao and others had also detoured back, and as they went down the river, the ships were even more unstoppable, cutting the official fleet into pieces in an instant.
"Destroy the remaining enemies!"
Ruan Xiaoer shouted when he saw that the enemy had been defeated. The flag soldiers waved their flags. Liang Shanshui's army began to disperse. Three or four ships began to surround and suppress the scattered enemies.
"The imperial navy is so vulnerable!"
Ni Yun looked at those officers and soldiers and sneered. He originally thought they were such powerful enemies, but now it seems that they are not even as good as the Dengzhou navy.
"Brother, look who I caught!"
Di Cheng emerged from the water with a smile, holding an enemy general in his hand, it was Liu Menglong.
"Haha, you have made great achievements!"
Fei Bao laughed and looked at Di Cheng. Liu Menglong was the commander of the navy and could be considered a big fish.
The battle on the Yellow River lasted for a long time before it ended. Except for a few small boats, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the chaos and ran into the harbor branch to escape, and the rest were captured.
"Take these people and go!"
Seeing that all the enemies had been captured, Ruan Xiaoer waved his hand and led the fleet into the canal and headed for Liangshan.
Puzhou.
Gao Qiu was arranging tasks for a group of generals when suddenly a soldier ran in in panic.
"What's going on? You're in a panic!"
Gao Qiu frowned and looked at the soldier and shouted.
"Lord Lieutenant, it's not good, something happened to the navy!"
The soldier lay on the ground and said.
"Sailor? What's wrong?"
Gao Lian asked quickly, the navy was his weapon against Liang Shanbo. In order to build those warships, he took out all the wood from the Tokyo Treasury. The skilled craftsmen in Tokyo worked for several months to build the navy fleet. .
"The navy was attacked by Liang Shanbo and the whole army was wiped out!"
The soldier said.
"What!"
Not only Gao Qiu, but also the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. They carefully prepared how the navy army would be wiped out in one encounter.
"Where's Liu Menglong? Didn't he say it's foolproof!"
Gao Qiu looked at the soldier angrily.
"Liu Tongzhi's warship sank and his whereabouts are missing!"
The soldier replied.
Everyone was in an uproar again. Liu Menglong was a powerful navy general transferred from the south of the Yangtze River. Such a figure was defeated by the enemy in one battle. Without the navy, how could they invade Liangshanbo?
"waste!"
Gao Qiu's heart bleeds when he hears this. He has issued a military order to the emperor for sending troops this time. Many pairs of eyes in the court are staring at him. How can he report the disastrous defeat in the first battle?
