Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"We absolutely cannot let next year's plans be delayed!"

Song Jiang suddenly spoke up,

"Brothers Sun Li, you will go down the mountain again in two days,"

"Find a way to get some more people up the mountain!"

"this....."

Sun Li was stunned for a moment.

Turning his head to look at the dead and wounded lying on the ground,

Somewhat unbelievable,

"Clerk, isn't this the right time?"

"Now is not the right time, when will it be?"

Song Jiang said with a ferocious expression,

"We only have six months at most,"

"If we cannot train an elite force before then,"

"If we wait any longer, we won't have such a good opportunity!"

what chance?

Sun Li was completely baffled.

But looking at Song Jiang's expression...

He didn't want to press the matter now.

He could only nod hastily.

"Rest assured, clerk, once things in the village are settled,"

"Then I'll go down the mountain to recruit more people for our village..."

Chapter 1115 Was the Pig Iron Robbed?

Song Jiang on Qingfeng Mountain.

They are busy dealing with the aftermath of the internal strife.

Zhao Yuan on Liangshan

However, problems did arise.

"What did you say? Our pig iron supply has been blocked?"

Zhao Yuan stared wide-eyed.

Looking at the living, flashy Wang Dingliu in front of him.

He had previously been with Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun.

Let's go to Xuzhou together to transport pig iron.

Xu Guanzhong's people,

He has already established connections within the Xuzhou officialdom.

All Liangshan needs to do is send men and boats over,

We can just bring the pig iron from there back by waterway.

Liu Huiniang and Zhu Wu got the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of the pig iron for casting!

Who knew that Ruan Xiaoer, Zhang Shun, and Wang Dingliu had been gone for more than ten days?

Finally, it was Wang Dingliu who suddenly ran back to report.

It is said that Liangshan obtained naval cargo ships.

They were all blocked in the middle of the waterway.

"what happened?"

Xu Guanzhong frowned and said,

"Brothers Wang Dingliu, please speak slowly."

"Yes,"

Wang Dingliu took two breaths.

He slowly recounted their journey to Xuzhou.

Originally, following Zhao Yuan's orders,

Ruan Xiaoer, Zhang Shun, and Wang Dingliu,

They took about twenty cargo ships, each carrying 500 shi (a unit of dry measure), and went to Xuzhou.

These ships were not warships.

But on the ship,

They also prepared bows and arrows.

The Song court had no navy in Xuzhou.

Zhao Yuan and the others originally thought that,

Ruan Xiaoer and his group's trip

It will definitely be a smooth journey.

But don't want to,

The journey there was indeed smooth.

Those officials who were bribed by Liangshan

There was not a single difficult situation.

They let us through directly.

They successfully got Ruan Xiaoer and his men to load the pig iron onto the ship.

But the unexpected happened on the way back to Deshui.

A group of strongmen appeared out of nowhere.

Surprisingly, on that Qinghe River,

More than a dozen fishing boats were sunk.

They completely blocked both sides of the waterway!

Liangshan acquired a cargo ship.

They were immediately trapped in the middle of the waterway!

The group of thugs then ordered Ruan Xiaoer and his men to...

Hand over the pig iron on the ship.

But how could Ruan Xiaoer and his companions possibly comply?

So the two sides had a fight.

Although that group of bandits outnumbered others

There were at least two or three thousand people.

However, their swimming skills were far inferior to those of the navy under Ruan Xiaoer's command.

After a battle,

Several of their small boats were destroyed by Liangshan.

They had no choice but to retreat back to the shore.

But on the Liangshan side...

Ruan Xiaoer and his men only had a little over five hundred naval troops in total.

With this small force,

Defeated two to three thousand enemy troops on both banks.

It's obviously unlikely!

On both sides of the waterway

Their small boats were all sunk and blocked by the enemy.

Enemy troops were also monitoring them from behind in small boats.

With only Ruan Xiaoer and his five hundred men,

Want to withstand a hail of enemy arrows,

While clearing the small boats blocking the river,

Obviously impossible!

Fortunately, on the cargo ship,

Once food supplies are plentiful,

Trapped in the river again,

No worries about not having water to drink

The two sides then stood in a stalemate!

Ruan Xiaoer and his men realized that things couldn't continue like this.

He then hurriedly instructed Wang Dingliu to take advantage of the darkness...

Jump into the river.

They swam ashore from the water.

He secretly rushed back to Liangshan to report the news.

"Brother, our boat is stuck in that river channel now,"

Wang Dingliu said anxiously,

"Those bandits weren't very good swimmers,"

"But who knows what other ideas they've come up with these days,"

"Brother, we must send troops there immediately!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'll get it ready right away."

Zhao Yuan patted Wang Dingliu on the shoulder.

"You go and rest first,"

"We'll need you to lead the way when we get there!"

"Yes!"

Wang Dingliu quickly nodded.

He bowed in agreement and went to rest.

"Those tough guys from Xuzhou,"

Zhu Wu analyzed,

"Nine times out of ten, they heard about our Liangshan band of iron and came to take advantage of our misfortune."

"But now, within the territory of Shandong,"

"Would any bandit stronghold dare to plot against Liangshan?"
