Chapter 1584: The Three Armies on the Water Chasing Song Jiang
Chapter 1584: Three armies on foot, cavalry and water pursue and block Song Jiang
After occupying the water village, Ran Min immediately asked his navy troops to take over the captured warships.
When Li Jing was training the navy, the training ship used by the navy was modeled after the warships of the Liangshan Army.
Therefore, facing these newly captured warships, the entire Qin Navy navy can get started directly, and there will be no problem of unskilled operation.
"Shi Jin, I will leave the Huben Camp to you to command. I will lead the navy to Liangshan first," Ran Min said.
Letting Ran Min, a cavalry general, command the navy army was actually a helpless move. After all, Li Jing had no time to spare, and the Qin army in Beihai had no other generals who knew how to fight on the water.
Ran Min is actually not familiar with the navy, but his commander attribute is high enough.
With a commander attribute of up to 95 (2) [the brackets are the permanent increase after reaching the peak] points, plus the effect of the 'Heavenly King', the same clan combat commander 2, Ran Min's highest commander will reach 97 points.
Ran Min, who has a commanding attribute of 97 points, is more than capable of commanding three thousand naval troops even if he is not familiar with water warfare. At least there will be no major omissions.
When Shi Jin heard what Ran Min said, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Although he is the cavalry commander of Liangshan, Liangshan does not have an organized cavalry at all. Being able to command an elite battalion like Huben Camp is more of a trust and training for him.
"General Ran Min, you take the first step, and the general will catch up later." Shi Jin said.
"Um."
Ran Min also nodded, and immediately commanded three thousand naval troops to sail away all the warships.
The reason why Ran Min and Shi Jin had to move separately was because the Liang Kingdom had many water systems, and the cavalry had to take a long way to reach them. Instead, they could reach Liangshanbo faster by taking the waterway.
As soon as Ran Min left, Shi Jin immediately left two hundred elite cavalry to guard the two thousand prisoners of war, and then personally led all the cavalry and went straight to Liangshanbo.
In this way, the main force of the Liangshan Army converged on Liangshan from all directions, while the Qin Army was divided into three armies of infantry, cavalry and water, racing against time to pursue Liangshanbo from three directions.
Li Jing's infantry, Ran Min's navy, and Shi Jin's cavalry, who can arrive at Liangshanbo first? Of course it is Ran Min's navy.
At this time, the two sides of Liangshanbo were in full swing. Nearly a hundred large and small ships were docked on the opposite shore. As soon as the main force of Liangshan arrived from all directions, they would immediately take the ships to Liangshan on the opposite side.
Liangshan is part of Liangshanbo, and the terrain of Liangshan is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. There is no land way up. It is surrounded by water with many reeds in the water. At the bottom of the mountain is a group of lakes composed of many lakes and swamps. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It was precisely because of being located in dangerous places like Liangshan that Song Jiang could survive in Qingzhou for so long. Otherwise, he might have been wiped out as early as during the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Seeing that there were only ships on the other side but no army, Ran Min knew whether Song Jiang was coming or not, so he couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "We finally caught up. As long as we burn all these ships, Song Jiang will never be able to return to Liangshan."
As the strongest naval force in the north, Liang Shanshui Army actually has a certain amount of combat power, but Ran Min does not need to fight with it. His character only burns warships, so that Song Jiang's main force can be blocked on the shore.
.
Since Ran Min sailed a warship of the Liangshan Army, when the navy entered and arrived at Liangshanbo, the Liangshan Navy thought it was their own navy that had retreated. However, there would definitely be inspections, so they issued a signal to let them know.
Ran Min's troops stopped for inspection.
Ran Min couldn't help but sneer when he saw this. Of course he would not stop and decisively ordered: "Kill over."
[Ding dong, Ran Min’s skill ‘King of Heaven’ is activated with effect 3. When facing the same clan fighting, the command is 2 and the force is 3, which increases the combat power and morale of the entire army...
Ran Min has 95(2) commander, 107(1) force, and 2 equipment. The current commander has increased to 97, and the force has increased to 112.】
Instead of slowing down, the Qin army's navy accelerated. Liang Shanshui's army was a little confused when they saw this, but when they saw a shower of arrows fired from the fleet, all Liang Shanshui's officers and soldiers couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
"Ah, ha..."
The sound of horns and screams were all mixed together.
Ran Min didn't even blink, but coldly ordered: "Fire the rocket."
brush……
A large number of rockets continued to attack the ships on the shore. The sailors on the shore had no time to drive the ship away, and the rockets had already set the ship on fire.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire quickly."
Liangshan Shuijun naturally also knew the importance of ships. Once all the ships were burned, the lord and the others would not be able to return to Liangshan, so they naturally tried their best to protect the ships, but no matter how fast they were, they could not compare to Ran Min's arson
The speed of burning.
Rocket production technology is complex and the process is slow, but it is an important strategic material.
After Ran Min captured Liangshan Water Village, he only captured 30,000 rockets, which was only enough for the 3,000 navy troops to fire ten rounds. However, Li Jing specially prepared 100,000 rockets for Ran Min for this battle.
Ran Min originally planned to shoot all the 130,000 rockets, but after only 30 rounds of shooting, 90,000 rockets were fired, and the people in Liangshan Water Village were already killed.
Ran Min saw that the ship was almost burned, and it was impossible to save it from such a fire, so he decisively ordered: "Evacuate."
The navy of the Qin army retreated calmly, while the navy of Liang Shang pursued them closely.
At this moment, more than two thousand cavalry suddenly appeared on the other side. It was Song Jiang who personally led the troops and rushed back first. What he didn't expect to see was that the transport ship was burned to the ground.
"Who did this?"
Song Jiang held his head and wailed in despair, without these transport ships, how could his main force return to Liangshan?
"Lord, look quickly."
Song Jiang followed the direction pointed by Wu Yong and immediately saw his two fleets in the lake, one fleeing and the other chasing.
Song Jiang couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw this, but when he heard that the surviving sailors said that the fleeing fleet had mutinied and set off rockets to burn all the ships, he was immediately furious.
"Traitor, traitor..."
Song Jiang started to curse loudly, thinking that the navy in the water village had betrayed him. Although Wu Yong had some doubts about this, it was clear that he could not prove anything at this time.
"My lord, the top priority is not to pursue this navy for rebellion, but to get the pursuing navy back and use warships to transport soldiers."
Hearing what Wu Yong said, Song Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Only those dozen warships? How long will it take to transport it all?"
"Our army now has no other ships available and can only use warships to transport troops. It is a little slow, but it can always be completed."
As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, soldiers came to report: "Report... to inform my lord, a large group of Qin cavalry appeared ten miles away and are rushing here."
