Chapter 1583: Seizing the Ship
The Liangshan armies stationed in various places in Liangguo Kingdom were completely stunned after receiving Song Jiang's order to retreat to Liangshan.
The sudden attack of the Qin army really caught the Liangshan army by surprise, but it would be too cowardly and embarrassing to give up all the territory just after the war started, right?
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?" Dong Ping complained.
"It's really embarrassing." Lu Zhishen sighed.
Although the other generals also complained about Song Jiang's move, they still chose to obey orders, voluntarily abandoned the counties where they were stationed, and evacuated towards Liangshanbo overnight.
front.
When Li Jing learned that the Liangshan Army, which was stationed in various places, was quickly gathering, but the direction of departure was not the front line, but Liangshan Park, he felt relieved.
"Song Jiang and Wu Yong have already fallen into the trap, and the next step is to completely ruin them."
After saying this, Li Jing looked at Tai Shici below and ordered: "General Ziyi, I will give you one hour to capture this camp."
"It won't take that long."
Taishi Ci smiled confidently and said, "Half an hour is enough."
After saying this, Taishi Ci strode away.
Half an hour later, the third battalion, which had nearly a thousand defenders, was also attacked by Tai Shici, and nearly 500 people were captured.
From then on, there was no longer any obstacle between Beihai and Liang State, and Li Jing directly ignored the major counties along the way and directly led the army to march towards Liangshanbo as quickly as possible.
Taishi Ci glanced at the county town behind him and asked Li Jing with some confusion: "Master Taishou, I'm afraid we can't keep up with this speed. Even if we march at the fastest speed, it will take a day and a half to reach Liangshanbo, but Song Jiang would have already Just go back to Liangshan."
"Don't worry, it's not that easy for Song Jiang to return to Liangshan safely."
A hint of coldness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said coldly: "I have sent the navy to block the Song River."
"Navy army?"
Taishi Ci was stunned, frowned and asked, "Where did our navy in Beihai come from?"
As a veteran of Beihai, Taishi Cike never knew that there was a navy in Beihai. Li Jing did not develop a navy after he came...
etc?
Taishi Ci's eyes suddenly widened. He remembered that Li Jing had secretly mobilized three thousand soldiers two years ago. Although these three thousand soldiers were later included in the establishment, they never appeared in the public eye again. Could it be that he was pulling Going to train to be a sailor?
"Master Taishou, are they the three thousand soldiers from two years ago?"
"Yes, they are our navy."
"That's not right. Our army has never built warships on a large scale. It only has sailors but no warships. What kind of navy is this?"
Although the Qin army had a Yellow River navy, the existence of the Yellow River navy had been exposed when Li Jing was transported to Beihai.
After the Hebei War started, Yuan Shao was afraid that the Yellow River navy would attack the rear, so he blocked the Yellow River channel, so the Yellow River navy couldn't get through at all.
Li Jing had already expected this, so he had been secretly training the navy as early as two years ago.
As for warships, Li Jing did not build them on a large scale. Firstly, it was because of Beihai's lack of financial resources. Secondly, large-scale shipbuilding could not be hidden, and his plan must not let the existence of the navy be exposed.
"Our army does not have enough warships, but the Liangshan Army does."
A hint of cunning flashed in Li Jing's eyes. He trained sailors but did not build warships. In fact, he wanted to use Liangshan Army warships to form a navy.
At the beginning, the Liangshan Army and the Qin Army were very close, and it was very likely that the whole country would eventually surrender to the Qin Army. At that time, the Liangshan Army's warships would naturally be the Qin Army.
Although Liangshan has now betrayed the former alliance, when he joined forces with the Liangshan army to fight against Yuan Shao, Li Jing personally visited the three major water villages in Liangshanbo and discovered a loophole in the layout of one of them.
Therefore, this time Li Jing planned to seize the warships in this water village to form the Qin Army's own navy, and then drove the Liangshan Army's warships to attack Song Jiang.
After hearing what Li Jing said, Taishi Ci didn't know what to say. Isn't this crazy?
At the same time, Ran Min, who had left early, was leading six thousand Qingqi, galloping across the Liang Kingdom towards a water village.
Among these six thousand light cavalry, three thousand were elite from the Huben Battalion, while the other three thousand were not cavalry, but sailors who could barely ride a horse.
When Li Jing was training these three thousand sailors, he also asked Ran Min to train them in riding skills.
Ran Min was a little confused at first. Why would a navy soldier know how to ride a horse? Now he finally understood that it was just for today.
"General Ran Min, as expected, the naval forces in this water stronghold have not had time to evacuate." Shi Jin pointed to the water stronghold not far away and said with excitement.
Ran Min looked at the transfer boat still staying in the water village and said: "It is more troublesome for the navy to move, and its speed is naturally much slower than that of the infantry. But fortunately our speed is fast enough. If we had arrived a few hours later, I’m afraid these warships have already sailed away.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's take action."
"Um."
After Ran Min nodded, he raised the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Hu Ben camp, kill."
"kill……"
Three thousand elite cavalrymen from the Tiger Camp rushed toward the unsuspecting water village in the distance, like tigers pouncing on food, and were preparing to retreat.
As for the other three thousand sailors, they dismounted and prepared for an infantry battle. Of course, their most important task was to seize the warships.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
The sudden attack caused chaos in the water village for a while.
Ran Min rushed at the front of the army, as fast as lightning. He could only see a shadow, and he rushed to the gate of Dazhai in a flash.
"Open it for me."
[Ding dong, Ran Min's skills 'Killing God' and 'Heavenly King' are activated one after another, and the current force has increased to...]
boom……
As a loud shout rang out, under Ran Min's full blow, the wooden door of the water village was smashed directly.
"hiss……"
When the sailors in the village witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. How much strength would it take to do this?
With the gate of the village broken, Qin County's elite cavalry can enter the village and slaughter the navy troops who are not very powerful.
"Ah, ah..."
For a while, screams continued to sound, and the water village quickly turned into purgatory.
Ran Min did not get entangled with these ordinary soldiers. Instead, he led a small team of 300 cavalrymen and went directly towards the dock. After all, his target for this trip was those warships.
After Ran Min left, Shi Jin took over Ran Min's place and commanded the cavalry to wreak havoc in the water stronghold.
How could the Liangshan navy, which had been recruits for many years, be able to withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like Qin cavalry?
In just one round trip, the Huben camp killed the enemy soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers. Seeing this, Shi Jin took the opportunity to persuade them to surrender, and a large number of sailors knelt down and surrendered.
Ran Min's side also went very smoothly. He reached the dock in time and prevented the sailors from launching a battle. He almost perfectly captured the water stronghold and captured two thousand Liangshan navy troops. It was a complete victory.
