    Chapter 402 The bloody battle between the party members (1)

    The thousands of years of war history in China is basically a history of war between farming civilization and nomadic civilization, from the Quanrong in the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the Xianbei, Qiang, Turks, Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, Mongolia  When the order rises, you will sing and I will appear on the stage, which is dazzling; but standing on the other side of the battlefield, it is always us Han people. Although there are many disasters, we have always continued to spread the fire and live forever.

    In fact, there is really no way to tell who is better and who is worse. At least it is not that simple. In the cold weapon era, the cavalry had the advantage of mobility, but the farming civilization did not fall behind with its superior technology, culture, and strategies.  The strength of the Qin army prevented the Xiongnu from going south and herding horses. In the Han Dynasty, the Han army chased the Huns northward in the desert, beating the once powerful Xiongnu to ashes, and the Tang army also made the Turks surrender.

    But we have a congenital strategic flaw that has made us suffer for thousands of years, that is, we have no purpose other than the reason to resist invasion.

    If you lose, your country will be destroyed, but if you win, there will be almost no benefit, because our farming civilization cannot effectively occupy the prairie, and we don¡¯t know how to herd. Even in future generations, the prairie will still be the pasture of ethnic minorities.  , just like if oil had not been discovered in the Middle East in later generations, except the Arabs, who would want a cat to live in a desert where birds do not poop?

    The Central Plains Dynasty exhausted manpower and material resources and finally achieved a decisive victory, but at most it could only win a period of peace. After recuperation, the prairie will give birth to a new nomadic nation, a new king will rise, and a new master will be replaced.  .

    And the new owners all have a common wish, that is to go south to the Central Plains; Chinese dynasties built the Great Wall not without reason, but this does not mean that we are not bloody and enterprising.

    There is another inherent tactical flaw in farming civilization, that is, those who are barefoot are never afraid of those who wear shoes.

    People do not suffer from poverty but from inequality. This is a universal rule. When nomads go south to the Central Plains, they can burn, kill and plunder to support their wars. Who told us to be richer?  But we can't go north. We don't like to eat grass very much. We have to carry everything from the rear. Not to mention how much it costs to provide logistics for thousands of miles. Once the food route is cut off, it will be a catastrophic outcome.

    This strategic flaw coupled with a tactical flaw, in the cold weapon era when science and technology and commerce were underdeveloped, destined the war between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomads to be more fruitful than gain.

    So not only the Han Dynasty, but also the Tang Dynasty, which is known as the most powerful, also likes to use the marriage policy. Our Song Dynasty is actually the same, but the methods are different. Just like a young and wealthy romantic son, he would be reluctant to give away a beautiful sister.  , just spend some money to eliminate the disaster.

    "In the eyes of those indignant and indifferent people in later generations, this is not only a sign that politicians have no long-term vision and are feeding tigers into trouble, but it is also a kind of humiliation. How many people in this world can plan for eternity?  It is also a good expedient to exchange a small price for a big loss.

    Of course there are exceptions to everything. For example, our Song Dynasty now has an extra caterpillar.

    This caterpillar is still a bully and is always at odds with the Dangxiang people. Regardless of whether this comment is a bit unfair to Li Qing, it is more or less true. Why did Dangxiang and Li Qing become enemies?  And it's not that big. If it were a Khitan, Li Qing would probably be a rat trying to pull a turtle, but it was different. The Yellow River had to make a big turn on the Hetao Plain. This was really not Li Qing's fault.

    "Uncle Liu, there is no preparedness point above the Yellow River. Even if we can wait for the news, what if the party members are prepared? Is it possible to return to Qingfeng Village? Isn't it just a few ferries? In my opinion, I will follow Chen Biao's advice  The best way is to send the full sail directly to Xingqing Mansion. Maybe it would be good to catch him off guard." Li Qingcai stepped on Chen Biao and suddenly supported his suggestion.

    Although Uncle Liu is mature and prudent, only Li Qing and Chen Biao have had a water fight in the room. Little did he know that Li Qing's experience in suppressing bandits in Taihu Lake was just a child's play, and he couldn't think of a reason to object at the moment.

    But Li Qing is really not reckless. He did not plan to attack Xingqing Mansion this time. He just wanted to tell Li Yuanhao that if you can come and beat me, I can also come and beat you. Let¡¯s set up a formation and fight openly. Even if you read  There are many military books out there, but they didn¡¯t teach you how to be a pirate, right?

    Who said that our Song Dynasty can only be beaten passively?  Now the offense and defense have changed shape!

    "It's too early for Chen Biaoxiu to be proud. If the fight doesn't work well, just swim back along the river." Seeing Chen Biao's happy expression, Li Qing still couldn't stand it. Chen Biao didn't care about Li Qing's threat and rushed to Li Qing.  He cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, we can't even take a few small ferries, and they even dare to cross Taihu Lake." After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Before he could get out of the cabin, he heard this coquettish guy shouting loudly: "It's full."  Sail, all sail!"

    The sun is shining brightly.

      After all, the Hetao is not Jiangnan. It is the Qingming Festival, but there is no storm. The water of the Yellow River, which has not been baptized by the loess high slopes, is also very clear. The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the grass is green. If there is no ghost ship,  If the black ship is an eyesore, it will look like a spring landscape painting.

    Of course, the people on the boat would not think that they were an eyesore to anyone. On the contrary, most people felt that they were very attractive. However, Li Qing was among the very few people. Because no one paid any attention to him, he held his head with his hands on the side of the boat and continued.  daze.

    After two days of full sailing, the Yellow River turned southward after crossing the horizontal line with the word "ji". At this time, it had already entered the territory of Dangxiang. Uncle Liu and others were on guard, but except for the occasional sight of some Dangxiang herdsmen rushing  The cattle and sheep were drinking water by the river, and the road was calm.

    I couldn't tell what the herdsmen's expressions were when they saw this big black boat. It was a few hundred meters away, and the water of this section of the Yellow River was open. For the sake of caution, Chen Biao kept the boat sailing on the middle line of the river, but no one thought it.  How strange it is that the population of Dangxiang was not large to begin with. In later generations, there was still an average of less than one person per square kilometer on the prairie.

    It's just that Li Qing's plan to discuss with Naren Tuoya to control the development of the Qiyan tribe came to nothing. Isn't that the purpose of agreeing to let her on the ship? It's just that the little girl was very excited by the big ship. Otherwise, she would pester Chen Biao during the day.  She asked here and there how many seas were as big as the Yellow River; or she could follow Sun Wu and ask the fifth brother to release a flying thunderbolt for her to see.

    It¡¯s no wonder that nomads have few opportunities to take a boat, let alone such a big one.

    However, the calm situation was still like this the next morning. Not to mention that Uncle Liu, Murong Yizhen and others were worried, even Chen Biao, who had been calling for a direct attack on Xingqing Mansion, felt that something was wrong.  According to the map provided, it is only one day's water journey from Xingqing Mansion. No matter how careless the party members are, they will not allow a large ship of unknown origin to go straight to their center.

    Besides, it was okay if there were no herdsmen and cattle and sheep on the shore, but no matter how bad people were at boating, there was not even a lambskin raft to be seen on the huge Yellow River.  After discussing for a while, they unloaded more than half of the sail, and together with Commander Xu, Mr. Du and others went into the cabin to ask Li Qing for an idea.

    At this time, Li Qing was still lying in bed. It was not that he had not woken up, but he was lying in bed. No one would pay attention to him when he got up anyway.  It's better to sit in a daze than hold your head up, and besides, he thinks that the occasional leaks from his sister's skirt, such as her slender calves, delicate ankles, etc., have nothing to do with the climate anyway.

    Of course, a lot of people came in to admire his nakedness, which was quite annoying. The weather was hot, and his bare thighs were still exposed. But when Li Qing saw their expressions, he didn't mind at all that he was naked.  , but he jumped to the deck in a panic, "What? The party members are coming? Are there many people? Is there a big ship?" he asked repeatedly?

    It¡¯s not surprising that he asked this question in a hurry. It was a heroic and heroic attack on Xingqing Mansion. Now it looked like a spring outing. When he saw Uncle Liu and others looking solemn, he became excited.

    What?  No!  There is no movement as yesterday, so why are you all here?  Do you dare to observe my thighs together?

    It¡¯s very wrong!

    When Li Qing was fully dressed and went on the deck to look around, he was also beating the drum in his heart. Even if the land was vast and sparsely populated, he would have to see a few beasts drinking water. Besides, this place is close to Xingqing Mansion, so it should be  It was so densely populated that it was impossible not to see a single figure. Once the mood changed, it seemed that the light was filled with murderous intent.

    Caution is definitely the right thing to do, and Uncle Liu and Chen Biao's arrangement also makes sense. They just wait for the Qiyan people to inquire about the details before making a decision. However, Li Qing is a little unwilling to do so. We can't let the Dangxiang people pretend to be calm, so we can't stand around.  Before?  Of course it is necessary to know oneself and the enemy, but now it is the beggars who are doing this work. Li Qing still wants to establish his authority in front of the beggars, but he cannot seem like we can't survive without them.

    "Chen Biao, raise the sail. I talked to you the day before yesterday, but now I am afraid even before I see the battle? Go straight to Xingqing Mansion. I want to see who can do anything to me on this big river!"  "Li Qing shouted loudly.

    Seeing Chen Biao being so excited that he called Shengfan at the top of his lungs, Li Qing was secretly relieved. We should be heroic at the critical moment, right?  Huh, look, you still think I'm just here for a spring outing.

    Li Qing was a bit of a show-off, but there were not many show-offs on the ship. This was in Dangxiang territory. Although there was nothing wrong with the strange calm in front of him, the whole ship felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

    Brother An and Chen Biao led people to operate several large three-bow crossbows at the bow. Sun Wu led people to protect the stern, while Murong Yizhen and Mr. Du led people to guard the left and right sides respectively. Uncle Liu led people to guard the stern.  Several people from the Qingfeng team were patrolling the ship, but Li Qing did notWhen I was idle, I stood on the high watchtower and looked around, holding a flag in my hand. If there was an enemy attack somewhere, I would use the flag to signal. Uncle Liu said, this is where the commander should stay and what role he plays.  Li Qing didn't argue. He knew in his heart that if a fight broke out, he would only be able to do this.

    It's just that Commander Xu is very annoying, because he thinks that Naren Tuoya is a girl after all, so Li Qing also called her to his side. This place is the safest, and nothing happens at all now, but Commander Xu is stunned.  Not understanding the style, no matter what Li Qing said, he followed Li Qing hauntingly, not to mention teasing. With such a big man behind him, Li Qing could not brag in front of girls.

    At this time, the boat was traveling to the boundary of Dingzhou after the founding of Xixia. The Yellow River turned a 90-degree bend here and flowed from east to west. The originally unobstructed view was blocked by the river bank. Li Qing also mentioned it at this moment.  Shen carefully observed whether there was any abnormality around him, but as his sight gradually broadened, the river in front of him was still very calm as far as the eye could see.

    Since he was a monster, there must be something wrong. Li Qing stood on the watchtower and felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been so angry at this moment. It would be better to wait until the beggar found out more than to be so worried now, but he was also a little curious. He couldn't think of Li Yuanhao.  Is there any way to deal with such a big ship.

    Waiting always makes people anxious, and you don¡¯t know how long you have to wait, and what you are waiting for. The scenery in front of you is as calm as ever, and as boring as ever. It¡¯s been like this for two or three hours, and still nothing.  Of course, everyone on the boat did not let down their guard. They only had marching cakes and cold water for lunch.

    Seeing that the sun was about to turn to the west, this day must have passed so peacefully. Li Qing had already lost his patience and sat down on the deck of the cabin in a very graceless manner.  No matter that Commander Xu was standing by the side, he was grinding his teeth with Naren Tuoya.

    "Miss Naren, have you been to Xingqing Mansion?"

    ¡°Abba won¡¯t let me go, saying he¡¯s worried.¡±

    "Well, that makes sense. Robbery of wealth is okay, but robbing sex is not so good. I think the party members won't mind that her waist is a bit thicker.

    "Miss Naren, with so many people added to the clan, can they still have enough to eat?"

    "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Li for this. Now the clan has a lot of food left. Apart from grazing horses, there are not even many cattle and sheep. Otherwise, the Yan people would not dare to take in so many clan members."

    "Miss Naren, do you have a husband?"

    ?????????????????? Li Qing accidentally went back to the old way of unprofessional teasing. It was expected that she didn¡¯t hear the answer, otherwise Li Qing would ask her for her mobile phone number, and it would not be enough to grind her teeth like this.

    No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Commander Xu felt uncomfortable standing nearby. Little did he know that Li Qing had followed the popular gossip style of later generations. How could a young man in the Song Dynasty directly ask questions in front of outsiders?  Does the little girl have reasons that her husband¡¯s family doesn¡¯t?  Seeing that the two of them were silent, he deliberately found something to say to break the embarrassment in front of him, "Master Li, judging from the map I drew earlier, the Yellow River will turn another bend here and then go straight to Xingqing Mansion."

    Li Qingcai didn't feel embarrassed. Anyway, he often made this mistake. As for the Yellow River, it's not surprising that it has to turn again. The Yellow River still loves to turn. Now it goes south, then north, then west, now east, now it's normal.  .

    "Master Li, look quickly, Master Li, look!" Suddenly Narentuoya shouted, Li Qing was stunned, I asked you if you have a husband, what are you asking me to see?  Is it possible that your husband's family is on our boat?  This really needs to be seen.

    I saw Narentoya pointing forward and shouting: "Ship! The party's ship!"

    People always feel fear, worry and worry about unknown things. In fact, many times when things come to pass, you often find that your previous worries are unnecessary.

    Of course, the current situation cannot be said to be okay, but compared to the uneasiness before, this mood is much more comfortable. It turns out that this is an ambush by the party members.

    "Chen Biao, I'll leave it to you. If you are defeated, you can still go back to Taihu Lake to fish." Li Qing raised his head and shouted below.

    This is not a matter of Li Qing's entrustment. He doesn't know how to fight in water at all. It is safest to leave it to Chen Biao to command. Besides, despite the fact that the party members have taken great pains to set up a trap, this situation is not worrying at all.

    The information gathered by the Qiyan people is very accurate. The Dangxiang people are not good at boating, and besides, they usually don¡¯t have many goods to transport. There are only 20 to 30 ferries on the long Yellow River, and now almost all of them have appeared in front of us.

    But despite the large number, compared with the armored ships built by Li Qinghua with a lot of money, they are not heavyweight at all. The largest of these warships modified by the party members can only hold fifty or sixty people, and the smaller ones can only  Carrying more than ten soldiers, if calculated based on tonnage, the thirty or so ships of the Dangxiang people were not as heavy as Li Qing's ship.

      When it comes to protection and attack power, it's even worse. The party members used ferries, not warships. They just added some wooden guards hastily on both sides, which might be useful for blocking arrows.  , but what if the shot was not an arrow?

    Li Qing didn't take the ferries of these party members seriously, and Chen Biao didn't take them seriously either. Seeing Li Qing yelling and handing them over to him, he shouted excitedly: "Sail! Go straight over.  The few small boats were beaten and hit, and they were all sunk!" The southeast wind filled the big sails on three sides, and the bow of the big boat drew two splashing white waves on the river, and rushed into the party members' boat.  In the team.

    This battle was very unexciting and one-sided. Even in the hinterland of the Dangxiang people, the other party had more ships in terms of number, but on the big river, the Dangxiang people did not have an advantage in numbers. The Art of War said: Ten Principles  The number of people and ships of this party is enough, but the level is too different from that of the large ships. The thirty or so ships can only carry five or six hundred soldiers, and the number is not much more than that of Li Qing's side.

    Not to mention the power of defense, water battles in the cold weapon era mainly relied on archery and boarding battles. The range of the party's crossbows was not as good as that of Qingfeng Village's crossbows. What's more, the opponent's crossbows were tied with gunpowder.  There is no room for a foothold on the small ship; as for the boarding battle, there is no need to think about it. The ship is many times taller and cannot be climbed up even with a ladder.

    Li Qing, who was on the watchtower, looked on with great satisfaction: "Catch up, catch up! What a Chen Biao, he has already knocked over three enemy ships. He has never been around in vain on Taihu Lake." Commander Xu was standing by.  He smiled slightly and said nothing. He was worried when he saw the Dangxiang people ambushing him before. It seems that the method of going up the river that Mr. Li thought of was really effective. The Dangxiang people didn't even have the strength to fight back.

    Of course, not all of this credit can be attributed to Chen Biao. In dangerous battles, not everyone is as slutty as Li Qing. Sun Wu, Murong Yizhen and Uncle Liu fought steadily. Although the party members  The threat was not great, but they still took people from a distance and used rockets to burn the sails of the party members. Once the sails and power were lost, the ship immediately floated like a dead fish. Chen  If Biao can't sink after another collision, he will really lose his reputation as a hero in Taihu Lake.

    The party's boats that were not overturned were also in a very bad situation. The boats were small to begin with, and there wasn't much room to move around. It was already very difficult to avoid the crossbow arrows fired from the boats from a distance. They waited until they got closer and didn't wait for them to take advantage of the opportunity.  He fired an arrow at the building ship and threw a few bombs. The deck was immediately deserted. Before everyone fell into the water, several modified lard bombs were thrown over. After a while, the ship became a  A fire ship.

    "Miss Naren, haven't you been frightened? Humph, the gangsters actually dared to attack our Qingfeng Village. Today I want you to see what I can do!" Seeing that the victory was in hand, of course he was bragging in front of the little girl.  The best time; but the watchtower is already high up, and during the whole process, few arrows from the Party members fell on the building and the boat. Of course Narentoya would not be frightened, but she also knew how ferocious the Party members were, and today she was actually shot  He was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back, and he felt dizzy and relaxed as he watched.

    Of course, to brag, someone must praise you. Otherwise, the sense of accomplishment will not be reflected if you brag alone, so the word is called flattery. Li Qing wants to brag now, such as how he is far-sighted and strategizing, but  Unfortunately, Commander Xu and Naren Tuoya didn't understand "blow", which made Li Qing very boring.

    The battle is still going on, and I really have to admire the tenacity of the party members. It seems that there is some reason for them to occupy the Hetao and dominate for a while in history. Seeing a completely one-sided situation, the remaining party members' warships are still entangled with the building boats on the river.  , but the remaining ships have learned better. They know that it is impossible to engage in a boarding battle if they come closer. Instead, they will be used as live targets by the condescending building ships, so they keep a distance. The party soldiers braved the building ships to shoot at them.  The rain of arrows shot rockets over from a distance.

    This is the reason why Li Qing dug into Young Master Shi's pocket to build an iron-clad ship. All he could hear was some tinkling sounds, and those rockets couldn't penetrate the iron armor wrapped around the ship. Most of them fell into the water.  Occasionally, a few of them hit the deck of the ship, but they were completely powerless. People from Qingfeng Village had already picked them up and threw them into the river.

    ¡°Is this simply adults bullying kindergarten children? Li Qing is not in the mood to continue reading. Isn¡¯t it possible that Li Yuanhao still doesn¡¯t understand?  In the water war, the Dangxiang people were no match for the Song Dynasty. They should have withdrawn their troops long ago, but they still want to die?  It seems that this battle can wipe out all the ships of the Party members. By then they will have no ships. What else can stop our armored warships on the Yellow River?

    The setting sun is like fire, and the afterglow of half of the body that is not under the river surface dyes the Yellow River red. In the background, there is no one on the river and the party warships are burning with raging fire. The black smoke emitted makes the sky a little red.  Tragic.

    Li Qing looked back and forth on the watchtower when he suddenly felt emotional. Naturally, he was mixed with a bit of pride. He must have been the one when Zhou Gongjin sent the prisoners to ashes with a snap of his fingers.He must have been so heroic when he was destroyed. Cao Cao still missed Xiao Qiao, so why didn't he know how to build an iron ship?  So stupid!  We don¡¯t want Xiao Qiao. We have several of them ourselves, so they may not be worse than Xiao Qiao. Of course, if there is a person like Xiao Qiao around Li Yuanhao, it doesn¡¯t hurt to go and have a look. He doesn¡¯t need it now anyway.

    Li Qing completely forgot that he was still in the battlefield, squinting his eyes in reverie, but it was not clear whether he was thinking of his own Xiao Qiao or Li Yuanhao's Xiao Qiao, but Li Qing's squinted eyes were full of tears.  Open it, and then slowly open it wide, and then like waking up from a dream, he stepped forward, violently pushed away Commander Xu who was leaning on the railing of the watchtower and looking down, lowered his head and shouted at the bow of the ship:  "Chen Biao, it's not good, turn the steering wheel, let's run away!".
