Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

For this reason, Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the army, could not help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, the capital was not far from Shuibo Liangshan, so the journey was not very far, and the marching time was not very long either.

If not, I'm afraid those carts won't even be able to hold all the gold and silver.

……

Regarding the news about Gao Qiu's army, Zong Xijin also heard a lot when he met him.

Regarding this kind of thing, I have such a bright feeling in my heart, and I am really angry and helpless.

What kind of world is this?

He is a good general who serves the court in a down-to-earth manner, performs meritorious service for the court diligently, throws his head and blood on the battlefield, and gives up his life.

What he got in the end was either being banned from home or being imprisoned.

On the other hand, those corrupt officials who can only boast and brag about their own achievements, and steal a lot of people's fat and anointment from the people, dominate and prosper.

But in the end, they all end up with high-ranking officials such as Taishi, Taiwei, and Privy Council, enjoying all the happiness.

If the Song Dynasty continues like this, I am afraid that it will gradually disappear without the help of the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

Hey……

……

And where is Shuibo Liangshan?

Because Zhong Sijin had already reported the news before.

Therefore, as early as a few days ago, Shuibo Liangshan had made extremely appropriate arrangements for the invading enemy.

At this moment, Gao Qiu's army has arrived at the foot of Shuibo Liang Mountain.

Na Shuibo Liangshan's previous plan has also reached the final moment of closing the net.

Now Shuibo Liangshan, the original minions plus the more than [-] soldiers captured from the imperial court last time.

After gathering together and identifying some who were really unwilling to surrender and fight, there were more than 5000 troops in total.

Although compared with the [-] troops led by Gao Qiu this time, it is still slightly insufficient.

But for the entire Shuibo Liangshan, these fifteen thousand troops and horses are not too small.

If trained properly, its assault strength is also considerable.

At this moment, the leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain.

While gathering in the Juyi Hall, they carefully planned the next strategy for dispatching troops.

On one side, several leaders who were good at fighting were sent to train all the soldiers and horses in the village to prepare for the bloody battle in the future.

The day after Gao Qiu led an army of [-] to the foot of Shuibo Liangshan, he launched a drum beating challenge against Shuibo Liangshan.

Since there is a river between the two places, the soldiers under Gao Qiu who were responsible for the challenge could only shout loudly on this side of the river.

Beat the gongs and drums in your hands loudly.

Just because the Liangshan Dazhai on the other side could hear their intention to challenge, they sent troops to fight with them.

But the water in Liangshan seemed to be collectively deaf.

No matter how fierce the imperial soldiers and generals on the riverside scolded or shouted.

No matter how hard the drums and gongs were beaten, no one came out of the village to answer the call.

This couldn't help but make Gao Qiu furious, but he was helpless.

Until three days later.

Shuibo Liangshan has just responded.

But he did not agree to lead the army to fight, but wanted to ask the imperial troops led by Gao Qiu to cross the river and attack the city.

Regarding this, several different voices appeared in Gao Qiu's handsome tent.

As the coach, Gao Qiu was left vacillating and unable to make up his mind.

According to Gao Qiu's original idea, what else is called a formation?

Just pick a day when the wind is favorable, and just ask the soldiers to sneak across the river by boat and launch an attack on the entire Liangshan Dazhai.

If you don't say well, you can achieve success in one fell swoop.

But Hu Yanzhuo, after hearing Gao Qiu's arrangement, quickly shook his head:

"Commander Gao, although your strategy sounds reasonable, and when our army goes out for battle, the soldiers selected are all very good at water warfare."

"Not only that, but they also brought two to three thousand new wooden ships from the imperial court."

"Although such preparations may seem sufficient, it would be extremely inappropriate to lead the army across the river suddenly."

"More than twenty days ago, the last general heard about the battle situation from Marshal Tong's defeated army."

"And the battle situation at that time was the same as the strategy that Marshal Gao had just planned."

"But what happens in the end?"

"Not only was he defeated, but Marshal Tong himself was captured alive by the group of puddle bandits on Shuibo Liang Mountain."

"So, if our army rushes across the river, the general will be really scared. I'm really afraid that once the generals start fighting, the final outcome will be the same as that of Marshal Tong."

After Gao Qiu heard this, he immediately opened his mouth.

His face was full of disdain:

"General Huyan, I think you are just a little too cautious."

"Yes, Tong Guan has won several battles before this."

"But at best, they are just the soldiers and generals under his command who are not afraid of life and death."

"What's more, Tong Guan only brought [-] soldiers and horses last time. After recovering three mountains, he lost more than a thousand people."

"When the army is stationed near Shuibo Liangshan, the total number of soldiers will be less than 8000."

"And Tong Guan, before he sent troops to attack Sanshan, he never thought that there would be a water battle in this battle."

"So the soldiers sent out are mostly land warriors."

"So it is not difficult to explain why we will suffer a loss in this water battle with Shuibo Liangshan."

"And where are we now?"

"Not only are the troops well equipped with food and supplies, but there are also people among the generals and soldiers who are very good at water warfare."

"With the help of those newly built wooden ships, how difficult is it to conquer Shuibo Liangshan in one fell swoop?"

"How could there be the kind of unfavorable situation that happened when Tong Guan led the troops?"

"Let me see, General Huyan, you are just too cautious."

Hu Yanzhuo's eyebrows were furrowed, and his heart was anxious:

"You are a tall and handsome man. The general will know that the commander-in-chief is eager to perform meritorious deeds. However, he has the experience of losing battles long ago, and our army has to guard against it."

"What if we fight against Shuibo Liangshan this time..."

But before Hu Yanzhuo could finish his words, he was immediately frightened back by Gao Qiu:

"shut up!"

"Before the battle, you actually said such depressing words!"

"Did your ancestors also lead troops to fight in this way?"

As soon as Gao Qiu said these words, Hu Yanzhuo immediately choked up.

I still want to say something, but I don’t know how to say it.

Fortunately, Hu Yanzhuo's words just now took root in Gao Qiu's heart.

With fear in his heart, he waved his hands to the other generals in the commander's tent:

"That's all."

"Since General Huyan is so timid, it will be difficult to win the next battle even if he fights it."

"If that's the case, why send troops?"
