Although she could be considered a heroine among women
But after all, he couldn't compare to Wang Qing, who truly conquered the bandit strongholds of Huaixi.
If it were a normal matter,
Perhaps this Third Sister really can make her own decisions.
But rather,
This time, they've provoked Liangshan!
If not handled properly,
This will turn into a major battle between Huaixi and Liangshan!
Compared to Liangshan,
Duan Sanniang would rather provoke the government.
After all, these were officials of the Song court.
They're either cowardly as mice or utterly irresponsible.
They plundered Huaixi for so long,
There was no response from the imperial court.
That's already the best proof!
But Liangshan was completely different.
Once you provoke them
Huaixi is likely to be in turmoil soon!
With worries in mind,
In San Niang's heart,
So he backed out.
Upon hearing Liu Yuande's suggestion,
He then hurriedly led his men to retreat.
It was still that Du Xue.
After recovering from the shock of falling into the water
He quickly stopped Duan Sanniang.
"Madam, things have come to this. After last night's fierce battle,"
"We in Huaixi have already offended Liangshan!"
"Even if we retreat now,"
"A conflict with Liangshan seems inevitable!"
"Now that things have come to this, we've already fought against Liangshan,"
"Then let's just see this through to the end!"
"Seize the pig iron from these twenty-odd cargo ships,"
"Bringing these back to Huaixi would be enough to forge armor and weapons for tens of thousands of people,"
"By then, even if Liangshan comes knocking on our door,"
"What do we have to fear!"
Both Duan Sanniang and Liu Yuan were persuaded by Du Xue.
So the Huaixi troops stationed themselves at this blocked section of the river.
For seven or eight consecutive days,
They attacked the Liangshan cargo ships twice more.
But in the end, they all returned empty-handed.
If on land,
These two thousand-plus people in Huaixi
To deal with the more than 500 naval soldiers of Liangshan,
There's nothing difficult about it.
but now,
The Liangshan navy, however, was based in the water.
Based on cargo ships.
Meanwhile, in Huaixi...
Although most of the henchmen also knew a little about swimming.
But he could only manage a couple of dog paddles in the water, which was barely passable.
Fighting in water is simply impossible!
Furthermore,
They have been doing this for days.
They had already robbed all the fishing boats belonging to the fishermen near the Qinghe River.
But in the end,
Dozens of fishing boats,
They either sank them into the Qinghe River, blocking the waterway, or...
Either in the attack,
They were drowned in the river by Liangshan!
Finally, out of desperation
Then Du Xue came up with another idea.
This meant deliberately relaxing the camp's patrol arrangements.
This would lure the Liangshan navy ashore to launch a surprise attack on their camp.
After all, once they get ashore,
These five hundred soldiers from Liangshan,
Even the most elite,
It's also much easier than dealing with it in the water!
But the result still disappointed the three of them.
For two consecutive days,
The Liangshan soldiers in the river remained completely still.
Just like when they were in their loosely built camp.
It's as if it doesn't exist at all!
"I have a feeling that something's not quite right,"
Liu Yuan couldn't help but say,
"These Liangshan soldiers who have found water are too good to stay put."
"Why is there not a sound at all?"
"Just like that turtle?"
"Old Du,"
Duan San Niang looked at Du Xue.
"Are the men from Liangshan plotting something sinister?"
"Otherwise, it would indeed be a bit too quiet."
"We've been besieging it for almost ten days,"
"Even if they had food on their boat,"
"They're probably almost done eating, aren't they?"
"Madam, this is Qinghe,"
Du Xue said helplessly.
Even if the cargo ship runs out of food,
"Aren't there still countless fish and shrimp in this water?"
"These Liangshan soldiers are skilled in swimming,"
"Catching fish and shrimp for food is not a difficult task."
"As for why the Liangshan cargo ship is so quiet,"
After Du Xue pondered for a moment,
He said slowly,
"If I'm not mistaken, they're probably waiting for Liangshan's rescue!"
"Liangshan?"
Liu Yuan was immediately taken aback.
"We've been patrolling both sides of this riverbank the whole time,"
"They never let a single soldier from Liangshan come ashore,"
"They probably don't know the news from Liangshan yet..."
Chapter 1126 News Received from Liangshan
"That Liangshan is the local powerhouse of Shandong,"
Du Xue sighed.
"We've been surrounding Liangshan's cargo ships for about ten days,"
"How could Liangshan not receive the message?"
"Furthermore, although we have been patrolling both banks of the river,"
"But what about Qinghe? There are many holes in this riverbed."
"The soldiers of Liangshan were skilled in swimming,"
"Swim away through the water at night,"
"Find a shoreline that we can't patrol to go ashore,"
"Then return to Liangshan to report the news,"
"Isn't it just a piece of cake?"
"If that's the case,"
Duan Sanniang estimated the time,
"Then Liangshan will probably receive reinforcements in another day or two,"
"They're almost here?"
"Don't worry, Madam,"
Du Xue laughed.
“I had already made preparations beforehand,”
