After a while, Li Yan caught up with the pace of the red lady.

Listening to the song and the footsteps behind her, the red lady paused, squinted her eyes and turned around, looked at Li Yan who was looking at her with a smile, and said coldly: "What, does General Li still want to come to our army for rectification?" ”

"Of course not...... Red Lady. I'm here to talk about Shandong's offense against the official army. Li Yan said with a gentle smile.

The red lady looked at Li Yan carefully, and said slowly: "The official army is going to fight us, and we will fight first, what is there to say?" Could it be that you Li Yan want to kill people and set fires to be recruited? ”

"Hit, of course, is for sure. As for being an official, I have long lost this mind. It's just that this time it's a little strange, and I found something interesting. Red lady, do you know Liu Zeqing? ”

……

At this time in May, the weather is already hot. The Yellow River was also unimpeded, and Zhu Cihong gathered hundreds of large ships and went westward, officially announcing the prelude to the rebellion in Henan from Shandong.

On the fleet, in addition to Zhu Cihong's 3,000 soldiers, there were also 5,000 soldiers in Shandong Town.

At this time, the river transportation of the Yellow River was relatively smooth, and the army marched and soon approached the boundary of Henan. But when the fleet reached Dongming County, it had to stop. Because, on the originally calm water surface of the Yellow River, small clippers with the banner of the army began to appear intermittently.

For this reason, Zhu Cihong ordered to investigate the enemy's situation.

Now, on Zhu Cihong's boat, the cadres and generals who entered the Central Plains to quell the chaos gathered together.

On Zhu Cihong's side, Chang Zhilang, Lao Seventeen, Liu Sheng, Liu Zhen and Liu Quan are behind Zhu Cihong. On the other side, it is naturally Liu Zeqing, Ruan Yingzhao and Liu Kecheng and other generals from Shandong Town.

At this point, several people stood at the highest point of the bow of the ship, looking at the hazy place in front of them from a distance, and frowned.

And beside Zhu Cihong, Zhang Zhen was slowly talking about the military situation: "My lord." The front has been clearly reported, and Dongming County has indeed been controlled by the thieves Red Lady and Li Yan. Not only that, but the river ahead has also been sealed with iron locks by thieves in Dongxu Town. Moreover, the villain heard that Li Yan's department was stepping up the production of fireboats, and had prepared hundreds of them to block our army from crossing the river. ”

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, Chang Zhilang spoke: "My lord, why don't we go up from the north shore and enter Kaifeng by land." The left and right are only a hundred miles away from Kaifeng, and the water runs by land, and a little trouble is nothing. ”

Zhu Cihong's expression moved.

But Liu Zeqing raised his eyebrows, looked like he was out of the way to ask for battle, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Supervisor." You can't ignore the thieves under Li Yan and the Red Lady. The robbers on the North Shore are weak and easy to pass. But if our army is transshipped nearby, the grain route will be in danger. If it is safer, it will be two far away, then the boat and car will be tiring, and it will be necessary to levy the people again. ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Zeqing carefully.

Why Liu Zeqing's move came from, Zhu Cihong doesn't care. But this guy really has good eyesight, and what he said is all right.

After a little silence, Zhu Cihong said: "The thieves in Dongming County must be beaten down!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Quan on the side suddenly shouted: "My lord, our artillery can temporarily install artillery on the ship and break into the thief enemy ship." ”

When Liu Zeqing heard this, he immediately asked for battle: "The last general's department can also jump to fight." ”

Zhu Cihong heard this, but shook his head slowly.

Water warfare and land warfare are two categories, and Zhu Cihong did not have the ability to scatter beans into a soldier and suddenly build a naval army.

I only heard Zhu Cihong say: "Liuquan, you will first open artillery to cover it, let our army go ashore, and recover Dongming County." ”

"Yes!" When Liu Quan heard this, he immediately took the order to retreat.

Liu Zeqing on the side was eager to try and looked at Zhu Cihong.

But Zhu Cihong stared at Liu Zeqing's loyal and daring face, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, it will be hard for Liu Junmen to go ashore first to clear the remnants of the enemy." ”

When Liu Zeqing heard this, he immediately received the order: "Yes!" ”

It's just that in his heart, Liu Zeqing is angry and scolding.

Of course, this landing is not a beach-grabbing landing, and the landing will be very tragic. But in the art of war, it is taboo to attack half-crossing. If you are rushed by the enemy when you go ashore, even the strong soldiers will be beaten ugly.

"It's okay...... Lao Tzu still has a backhand...... "Liu Zeqing had a loyal and fearless look on his face, and he seemed to be really afraid of the supervision team composed of 3,000 elite soldiers behind Zhu Cihong.

But actually...... I don't know how many belly slanders have been born.

After some hasty preparations, a converted gunboat began to break away from the fleet, escorted by several warships full of archers, and slowly approached the dock of Wusheng Town on the south bank.

Sure enough, when these flags of the officers and soldiers approached, six or seven civilian boats of different sizes immediately swarmed up on the wharf.

On the gunboat, Liu Quan's expression was solemn, and he quietly sweated on his forehead.

"Brothers, this is a civilian ship, and it can't shoot a few shots. After a while, when we fired the gun, we would remember everything we usually practiced! These four Furlong machines are the foundation of our artillery construction! To fight this well, Lord Qin is indispensable for our meritorious reward. Liu Quan stammered about the pre-war mobilization.

A cadre of artillerymen shouted unneatly: "Yes, Lord Baihu." ”

In the crowd, Li Jun was holding a gunpowder bag wrapped in silk, stuffing it into the Fran machine, and then with the help of the soldiers on the side, he put in an iron bullet.

On the side, an old soldier with an old face carefully adjusted the distance: "Less...... Much...... Oh, what did Lord Qin say...... I don't even remember it...... This is a school shooting ......."

On the side, Li Jun silently pushed the old man away, stretched out his thumb, and gestured.

After a while, I heard that Liu Quan had also manipulated a furlong machine, and said loudly: "Ready...... Fire! ”

Bang bang bang......

On the riverbank, the red lady dismounted, looked fixedly at the several small boats that rushed over, and frowned slightly.

On the side, Li Yan said with a smile: "Red lady, the people who are selected into the pioneer fleet are all good men with good water nature. These people can swim back even if the boat is gone. ”

As soon as Li Yan's words fell, he suddenly saw a flash of red flames from the muzzle of the cannon, and a black dot hit from afar, falling next to the warship that broke into the army, and there was an extremely high splash of water.

Seeing this, the red lady also smiled slightly.

At the same time, on the entire warship, the four Furlong machines opened fire in unison.

This time, two iron bullets connected by iron locks flew out. I saw that after the iron bullet flew out, the entangled iron bullet rotated, causing a bigger splash.

But this is only the result of the first shot.

In just over a hundred paces, three cannonballs wrapped in iron locks swirled, sweeping the three intruding warships that rushed up.

I saw a scream sound, and the spinning iron bullet knocked everything hit on the ship into a bloody mist, and the severed limbs and wreckage were suddenly alive.
