Water Margin people

At sunrise, the ship could already see the coast, and Ruan Xiaowu commanded the ship to go north along the coast to the mouth of the Liao River.

"Hu Yanqing, have you been to Liaodong before?"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"The villain has never been here. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, generals are not allowed to leave the jurisdiction without an order from the court, let alone leave the country without authorization."

Hu Yanqing clasped his fists and said, this is already the territory of the Liao Kingdom, how could he, a general of the Great Song Dynasty, come here.

"It's the first time I've come here. The coastline of Liao Kingdom is quite barren."

Sun Lei pointed to the coastline and said, this coastline is much worse than Dengzhou, and there are even few fishing villages by the sea, which shows that the population is not very prosperous.

The fleet soon arrived near the mouth of the Liaohe River.

"Brother, that's not right. It doesn't look like there is a navy stationed here. We came here so blatantly, why the enemy didn't react at all."

Looking at the calm sea, Ruan Xiaowu frowned and said, "They have huge ships and a lot of merchant ships. This is a big target at sea, and it is impossible for no one to find it.

"Go and have a look first!"

Sun Lei was also a little puzzled. No matter how much the Liao Kingdom didn't pay attention to the navy, the key places like the mouth of the Liao River would not be undefended.

The fleet went all the way to the estuary of the Liaohe River, and even the water village at the estuary could be seen.

"It seems that Master Xu has already taken this place!"

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the skeleton flag on the water village. Except for the Liangshanbo navy, no one else in the world can use this flag.

"elder brother!"

Zhang Shun left the water village in a small boat with a smile.

"It's Brother Zhang Shun!"

Ruan Xiaowu finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing Zhang Shun, as long as they meet up smoothly.

Zhang Shun pulled the lowered cable, and boarded the giant ship with a few jumps.

"See you brother!"

Zhang Shun bowed down to Sun Lei.

"Brother Zhang Shun, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is the trip to Liaodong going well?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun with a smile and asked.

"Thanks to my brother, everything went well. We took down this water village as soon as we arrived in Liaodong, and Master Xu even set it up as a stronghold."

Zhang Shun pointed to the water village with the skeleton flag flying.

"The Liao Kingdom didn't bother you?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun and asked, counting the time, Zhang Shun and the others had already captured the water fortress for some time, and the nearby city of Liao Kingdom would not be unresponsive.

"Brother, those people are in a hurry to deal with the Jurchen right now. Self-protection is a problem, but they have no time to care about this."

Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Jurchen? What happened to the Liaodong War?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Brother, Liaodong is in chaos now, and it's different from the original information."

Zhang Shun said.

"Tell me in detail."

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun and asked.

"Brother, in this battle in Liaodong, the Jurchens originally attacked Liaodong, but later Gao Yongchang from Bohai took advantage of the Khitan people going north to deal with the Jurchens and killed Xiao Baoxian who stayed behind in the Liaoyang mansion. Qingming and other Liaoyang government officials occupied Liaoyang Prefecture, proclaimed themselves the Emperor of the Great Bohai Sea, established the country as the Great Yuan Kingdom, and occupied fifty cities at one time."

"The Liao court sent Xiao Han Jianu and Zhang Lin to lead the crusade. The two sides won each other. Gao Yongchang contained a large number of Liao soldiers and horses, which led to successive victories in the northern Jurchens. Gao Yongchang asked the Jurchen for help and was willing to divide Liaodong equally. To the north is the Kingdom of Jin, and to the south is the Kingdom of Bohai.”

"The Jin people were in a hurry all the way, and soon reached the vicinity of Liaoyang Mansion, and not long ago defeated the army of Xiao Hanjianu and Zhang Lin, but the Jurchen did not stop there, and began to gather troops and horses, preparing to take down Liaoyang Mansion. Tokyo Road."

Zhang Shun said.

"So it's so complicated. According to what you said, the Jurchens are not going to divide Liaodong equally with Gao Yongchang?"

Sun Lei stroked his chin and said in thought.

"Brother, the most fertile place in Liaodong is the south. How could such a good place be given to Gao Yongchang by the Jurchen."

Zhang Shun said.

"Where are the military division and Xiao Qi?"

Sun Lei looked around, Xu Guanzhong and Ruan Xiaoqi hadn't appeared yet.

"Brother, the military division and the little seven brothers went up the Liao River to see the battle situation. The military division said that the Jurchens would attack Liaoyang Mansion in two or three days."

Zhang Shun replied.

"So I came just in time!"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and said.

"Brother, you can go to the water village to rest first, the military division and the little seven brothers will be back before dark."

Zhang Shun clasped his fists and said.

Everyone entered the water village.

"Oh, it's finally landed, I, Tieniu, will never take a boat again!"

As soon as Li Kui landed on the ground, he lay on the ground and screamed. The wind and waves along the way made him suffer.

"Brother Li Kui, how can you go back if you don't take a boat?"

Wang Dingliu looked at Li Kui with a smile and asked.

"Anyway, I won't take a boat these days, let me take it easy!"

Li Kui turned over and waved his hands and said, for him now, being able to lie on the ground is enjoyment.

"This iron ox is too useless. It's just been a few days on the boat."

Lu Zhishen looked at Li Kui and said.

"Leave him alone, let him lie down, let's go into the water village!"

Sun Lei greeted everyone and said that many of his pedestrians had experienced wind and waves on a boat for the first time, and they were even a little seasick.

At dusk, Xu Guanzhong and Ruan Xiaoqi returned to the water village with their people down the river.

"See you brother!"

Xu Guanzhong and Ruan Xiaoqi were also pleasantly surprised by Sun Lei's arrival, and hurriedly bowed down.

"You don't need to be too polite, I also thought of visiting Liaodong on a whim."

Sun Lei smiled and helped Xu Guanzhong and Ruan Xiaoqidao.

"Brother, little brother has something to show brother!"

Xu Guanzhong waved to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers came over with a pair of black armor.

"Ok?"

Sun Lei frowned looking at the armor made of black rectangular iron sheets, but just by looking at it, he could tell that the armor had amazing defensive power.

"Brother, this is the armor of the Jurchen cavalry. Not only are the men wearing armor, but even the horses are also wearing armor. Known as the Iron Buddha, it is protected from head to toe. It can be said that it is invulnerable!"

Xu Guanzhong pointed to the armor and said.

"This is an iron Buddha who accidentally walked to the water's edge to drink, and Ruan Xiaoqi took the opportunity to drag him into the water and took it down."

Xu Guanzhong added.

"Brother, that guy is extremely strong. The armor is so tight. The lower edge of the helmet goes all the way to the shoulders, covering even the neck. It's like a tortoise shell. It won't even leave a mark on it with a short knife. If it wasn't for being in the water It's really hard to win."

Ruan Xiaoqi said, his dagger couldn't do anything to the iron armor at all, and finally drowned the Jurchen by relying on water.

Lu Zhishen was a little disbelieving, and when he smashed the Zen staff in his hand, he could only bend a few pieces of armor, and the long piece of armor did not mean to be broken.

"This……"

Lu Zhishen was a little surprised.

"let me try!"

Sun An slashed the armor with a sword, and the black sword slashed across, leaving only a scratch on the armor, and there was no way to really hurt the armor. If it was a real battle, he would have lost just by failing this move. .

"This iron-smelting skill is no worse than that of the Central Plains. Isn't Jurchen a barbarian? How could they have such excellent iron-smelting technology?"

Li Zhu frowned and looked at the armor, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to try it out, only then did he discover the problem.
