Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 395 Sun Xin Takes the Opportunity to Prepare for War

Zhang Shun and Tong Weitong gathered all the people in the water stronghold. There were 500 people in total. The reason why Ruan Xiaoer didn't go to the north to harass again was because they wanted to curry favor with the guards.

As for the reports of those minions who had been to the water stronghold in the north to harass, but said that they had no way to break through the opponent's iron boat, Zhang Shun basically ignored it.

"The small boat made by the iron boat is so heavy, it must be slow to maneuver. Don't you know that the Ruan family brothers often walk on the water! At this time, if it is difficult to scuttle, you should use fire attack. How can it be delayed for more than ten days? ?”

Reporting this news to Song Jiang, Song Jiang and Zhu Wu were very excited when they learned about it, and quickly invited the leaders of the mountain to discuss together.

For a long time, people didn't know how to fight on the water. When Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu repeatedly stated that the water village was difficult to defeat the enemy, Liangshan should pay attention to it. Many people on the mountain thought they were just shirking.

Liang Shan had never been so nervous when dealing with the large ships of the imperial court before. Why did Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu suddenly look so helpless in the face of the guards?
Is it possible that this guarding army, relying on the power of Dengzhou, can not only build a huge army of muskets, but is even more powerful than the imperial court in sailing on water?
If there really was such a force, Sun Xin would have rebelled and become emperor long ago, right?
The people on Liangshan could not believe such a piece of news anyway.

At this moment, when the mountain is about to employ people, it is not convenient for Song Jiang and the others to attack the Ruan family brothers, but after learning the news ahead, Song Jiang's people have already made up their minds.

He immediately ordered Zhang Shun to train the sailors immediately, and set fire to the opponent's dock within a few days.

Zhang Shun and others stepped up their training, and Song Jiang on Liangshan was already planning his way out in the future.

The biggest barrier on this Liangshan slope is the [-]-mile water lake, which occupies this wide water surface. When the imperial court confiscates them, they can escape into the lake. In the past, they have never successfully crossed the island in the middle of the lake when they fought against the government and army. Once they thought it was no surprise.

As long as they can destroy the guards on the water and prevent the opponents from entering the lake, they can boldly open water passages and go to the shores to find supplies.

In the future, there is no need to be afraid even if it is a protracted battle with the Protectorate Army. This is why Yuncheng County knows that the Protectorate Army has reached the edge of Liangshan but dare not come to help.

If they want to destroy Liangshan, the Protectorate Army may not have such a great ability!

On the north bank, in the guard barracks.

Sun Xin has been away from Dengzhou for more than a month, and now he lives directly on the front line. He is not the commander of the battlefield. Outsiders call him the head of the supervisory committee. In fact, Sun Xin is not according to the rules, but everyone just wants to Knowing him as Sun Zhuangzhu, no one can shake the leadership of a generation of goals. As long as Sun Xin is not dead, the Supervisory Council will only have him as the master.

When Sun Xin is with the army, the morale of all members will be greatly improved.

It is very cost-effective to save a few people from dying and spend a little less money.

When they received the battle report from the front line, Sun Xinzheng and Luan Tingyu were in the timeout together. The city saw the news that Liangshan was preparing an army to attack the North Shore, and both of them had expressions of surprise on their faces at the same time.

It has been almost ten days since we prepared to cross the river to attack on the north bank of Liangshan, and finally managed to build a dozen ships, but it is still not enough to send tens of thousands of people to the opposite bank of Liangshan.

The only way is to requisition the nearby civilian boats, but Liangshan Bo still has absolute control over the water surface of Liangshan. It is uncertain whether the requisitioned fishing boats can pass smoothly after they reach the water, and the loss will be very large.

Moreover, many of the people here in Liangshanbo, especially the fishermen, have sons and daughters on Liangshan. If a real army enters the water, maybe once the battle situation changes, these fishermen will be able to dry the farmers and soldiers on the boat into the water.

Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu have nothing to do about this situation, unless Liangshan's navy comes to them to die, or they can only slowly build the ship, wait until their transport capacity reaches the level, and then slowly transport the army over In this way, this year's New Year must be spent on the north bank of Liangshanpo.

The last time Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu brought people to attack the escorting army's dock, Sun Xin and the others didn't receive the notification in time. Can't shrink back either.

After Sun Xin's people found out, they regretted it very much. If they showed weakness at that time, or even let the opponent scuttle a few ships, they might be able to attract the opponent's navy to attack aggressively and have the opportunity to wipe out the opponent's water forces in one fell swoop. , at least let the opponent lose their vitality, then the protection army can try to occupy the water control of Liangshanbo in advance.

But after being beaten and scared, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu's North Gate Water Village never left their doors behind closed doors. At most, they sent some people to watch out, and fled back as soon as they were hit.

The Beimen Water Village is the most elite water force on the Liangshan slope, and it has always been controlled by the Ruan brothers, and Sun Xin and the others have nothing to do.

During this period of time, Liangshan has been preparing for defense, cleaning up the lake, and the blockade of Liangshan's water surface is also very strict. It is almost impossible to send news from Liangshan. It is difficult for everyone to understand what is going on on Liangshan.

After receiving the news, Sun Xin, who had already wanted to fight a protracted war, was naturally very happy: "The owner of the water village should have changed on Liangshan, otherwise the water army wouldn't suddenly become so aggressive."

Pei Xuan analyzed with a smile: "It should be that our people lurking on Liangshan played a role. Song Jiang and the others have probably transferred Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu away. Otherwise, the Ruan brothers will definitely not be able to control the Beimen Water Village." It’s going to be aggressive.”

Luan Tingyu laughed excitedly: "Now our situation has a chance to move."

Sun Xin quickly asked the dealer to call Shen Yun and Meng Kang.

The Protectorate Army does not have a real water army. The so-called water power has always been nothing more than some gunboats traveling by sea.

This kind of gunboat is operated by the sailors of the artillery and sea fleet, but it is obviously not suitable for fighting in small lakes.

Therefore, the final research on the freshwater warfare in Liangshanbo was led by Meng Kang at the shipbuilding port.

According to the method of covering the bottom with iron sheets for sea-going ships, Meng Kang made a small boat with an iron sheet bottom that could prevent the enemy from being pierced.

It is not difficult technically for the workers of the supervisory committee who can already build large ships to make such small boats, but the cost is much higher than that of ordinary fishing boats, and according to Meng Kang, the advantages of the boats will be quite obvious.
