Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 97 The Battle of Shuibo (1)

Ruan Xiaoqi led his water ghost troops and sneaked under the ships of the Yuncheng and Jeju armies.

Then they started chiseling the ship!

The ship-sinking was very efficient, and before long, many ships were no longer usable.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

Song Jiang and his men were anxious, but they had no other choice but to shoot arrows into the water in an attempt to force the water ghost troops to leave.

As for going into the water? That's impossible. Haven't you seen some people who thought they were good swimmers go into the water and never come out again?

"Wedge formation, rapid charge! Disrupt their formation! Remember, quick in and quick out!"

Although Ou Peng had few troops, he was daring and led his men in a wedge formation, riding in small boats, to charge the allied forces!

He himself had a shield strapped to his arm and an iron spear in his hand. He stood at the bow of the ship, his spear flashing as he parried and struck left and right. Wherever he went, ordinary soldiers fell into the water!

"Stop him! Stop him!"

He Tao also saw the fierce Ou Peng and immediately called for his men to prepare to deal with him!

But Ou Peng used a small boat this time mainly for its agility. As soon as he noticed someone trying to approach him, he immediately signaled the small boat to leave, while simultaneously using his bow and arrows to deal with the enemy.

Any lucky enemy who gets close cannot last more than three moves under his iron spear.

The might of the Golden-Winged Cloud Demon was fully displayed in this battle!

Meanwhile, Qin Ming and his group had already reached the shore.

"Come on!"

They had just landed when Tang Bin, the commander of the first battalion of Liangshan cavalry, led his cavalry battalion to attack!

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang led two infantry battalions to encircle the enemy from both flanks!

The troops will not yield and will not land!

As for Ma Jun's side, Liangshan has already given him quite a bit of face.

They did not attack while the enemy was crossing the river.

"First Battalion, Third Battalion, throw your rifles!"

"Ready! Throw!"

Yuan Lang and Mi Sheng's two battalions regularly trained their throwing skills, and each member of their battalions carried three short javelins on their waists.

With the first throw, everyone ran and rushed over, using the impact and inertia, two battalions of a thousand men threw out a thousand javelins in one go!

The Qingzhou army felt as if a dark cloud was suddenly rushing towards them from above!

At such close range, the lethality of this javelin is no less than that of a bow and arrow, and may even be stronger!

"Shield! Shield!"

Huang Xin was responsible for holding back the infantry on the shore, but he found that he couldn't hold them back at all. The main force of the infantry had not yet landed, and the space on the boat was small. In a short time, many people were shot!

Huang Xin could only grab a shield to protect himself and some wounded soldiers.

"Vote again!"

"Huang Xin, create distance! Create distance!"

Qin Ming, who had already reached the shore, saw this scene and his eyes turned red!

"Commander Qin! Tang Bin would like to learn from you!"

But Qin Ming had no time to go to the rescue!

Because Tang Bin's First Battalion has already attacked!

In a battle between two forces, whoever can get going will have the advantage!

Tang Bin's battalion, consisting of 500 men and 350 horses, launched an attack from a great distance, and their momentum was terrifying!

Qin Ming's Qingzhou cavalry had only just landed, and many hadn't even had time to mount their horses yet! Their fighting strength was still in its early stages!

Tang Bin himself, wielding a twelve-foot steel spear, charged straight at Qin Ming!

Left with no other choice, Qin Ming could only pick up his spiked club and deal with Tang Bin first!

"You scoundrel! Take this too!"

The two fought fiercely; it was truly a great battle! A poem praises it:

A pair of fierce tigers descending the mountain, two evil dragons emerging from the sea.

When the dragon is angry, it summons wind and rain; when the tiger fights, sand and stones fly.

Spears flashed everywhere, the steel spears left no room for rest; the mace struck the heavens and earth, the spiked club had countless variations.

The spiked club came crashing down, just a hair's breadth from his forehead; the steel spear thrust at his chest, barely missing his heart.

One was the unparalleled righteous Pu Donghan, and the other was an exceptionally brave court general!

The two fought each other and were evenly matched, like two equally matched generals. Before they knew it, they had been fighting for fifty rounds without a clear winner!

Qin Ming was shocked. Were all the leaders of Liangshan this fierce? The one leading the charge was actually on par with him.

This won't do! I can't let my reputation as the Thunderbolt be ruined here!

With this thought in mind, Qin Ming increased the strength in his hand, making the spiked club even more powerful! He seemed to intend to finish the battle quickly!

But Tang Bin was one of the few masters of spears and lances in the world. How could he easily admit defeat? Seeing Qin Ming getting into the swing of things, he was not afraid. He let out a long roar and his spear technique became even more spirited!

The two remained evenly matched!

Spears are divided into hard and soft types. According to Lin Chong and Wang Jin, Tang Bin's skill with the hard spear was already at the top level in the Song Dynasty.

Ren Yuan once asked curiously, "What is a hard gun and what is a soft gun?"

The answer I received at the time was that a "hard gun" refers to a weapon with a rigid shaft, such as a spear, steel gun, or lance. These are relatively easy to use and most people can master with practice. They are also commonly seen on the battlefield.

A soft spear is one with a soft handle, such as a white waxwood shaft. This type of spear is particularly difficult to master because the shaft is very flexible and has high elasticity. As the saying goes, a spear is afraid of shaking its head and a stick is afraid of being pointed. Once a master wields this soft spear, the spearhead is simply impossible to defend against!

Soft guns are relatively rare on the battlefield because those who use them are either highly skilled marksmen or inexperienced beginners.

Tang Bin's skill with a spear was so impressive that even his fellow villager and friend, Guan Sheng, the "Big Knife of Pudong," was completely convinced of it.

Moreover, Tang Bin was not afraid of an opponent like Qin Ming who used heavy weapons, because before he left Pudong, he and Guan Sheng often sparred. Guan Sheng's Green Dragon Saber weighed eighty-two jin!

Moreover, after going up the mountain, Mi Sheng also sparred with Tang Bin every day. Mi Sheng's big axe weighed sixty jin!

Compared to this, Qin Ming's 56-pound spiked club seems insignificant.

Qin Ming couldn't defeat Tang Bin. His Qingzhou cavalry was already disorganized, and without him as their spearhead, their combat effectiveness dropped several levels.

On the Liangshan side, this was the first major battle since the formation of the First Cavalry Battalion. Everyone was eager to prove themselves, and with the advantage of charging, the First Cavalry Battalion immediately gained the upper hand after crashing into the Qingzhou cavalry!

"Master!"

Huang Xin watched his master struggle from the shore. He wanted to help, but his two battalions of infantry were caught off guard by the three waves of javelins and were on the defensive.

"Hahaha! Hey buddy! Take this axe!"

Mi Sheng led his men in and stormed in. As soon as the two armies clashed, he saw Huang Xin covering the ordinary soldiers.

Not bad. As a general, he is willing to cover the lives of ordinary soldiers. Based on this alone, Mi Sheng felt that he must capture this person alive.

He was a very good person in the imperial court; it's such a pity he died.

So he spurred his horse straight towards Huang Xin! (Note that although Mi Sheng was the commander of the infantry, only the soldiers in the infantry battalion were infantrymen; the commander could still ride a horse! Don't say that just because he was an infantryman he couldn't ride a horse!)

"Who's your brother? Take this sword!"

Huang Xin also saw the black-haired man charging towards him. He immediately mounted his horse, squeezed his legs against the flanks, and charged towards Mi Sheng with his greatsword!

"clang!!"

The clang of metal rang out as the two horses passed each other. Mi Sheng was somewhat surprised, turned his horse around, and looked back at Huang Xin.

This imperial officer is quite something!

Surprisingly, he didn't fall from grace!

"That black guy is incredibly strong!"

After galloping a distance, Huang Xin reined in his horse and turned back.

His situation was worse. The blow he just received had sent a tremendous force through the axe, making his arm numb and his internal organs feel shaken.

This person is beyond my ability to defeat!

But Mi Sheng didn't care about all that. If someone could take a blow from his axe, then they were qualified to fight him!

"Haha, buddy, another axe blow!"

With a loud laugh, Mi Sheng charged at Huang Xin again, his great axe gleaming brightly in the sunlight!

"Come on then! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Huang Xin would not easily admit defeat. Even though he knew his chances of winning were slim, he charged forward without hesitation!

We, Zhen Sanshan, will never admit defeat!
