Hearing Wu Cheng's words, Chen Ming was unable to refute him. If he was the Lord of Liangshan, he would know that if the government troops came to attack Liangshan.
In that case, he would definitely take advantage of the time when the government troops were preparing to cross the water to attack. That way, he would be able to win in one battle.
However, there was no movement from Mount Liang. What was going on?
Therefore, although Chen Ming felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't tell Wu Cheng Liu Yu's true purpose. How could he persuade Wu Cheng to beat him at his own game?
……
However, there was a reason why Liu Yu did not choose such a tactic in the beginning.
Of course, even these few unknown battle generals could think of such a tactic, so how could Liu Yu use it? Moreover, the Half-Crossing Strike required a direct confrontation.
In order to preserve Liangshan's strength, Liu Yu naturally had to use the most suitable tactic for himself in the face of the Yellow Turban Uprising that would sweep across the entire country.
That was why he sent Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng, who were the best at swimming, to lead his brothers to dig through the warships of the government army underwater.
This was because the government army had rushed into the battle and did not have many warships. Instead, they had gathered fishing boats from various families.
Needless to say, if he didn't have any ability to command an army of 30,000 men, how could he command it? Furthermore, if he were to engage in a water battle, wouldn't Li Jun and the others have a huge advantage?
Yanzhou was located in the Central Plains, so there was no concept of water warfare. However, Li Jun, who was under Liu Yu, was the leader of the tens of thousands of water armies in Liangshan.
Back in the Song Dynasty, Li Jun had followed Song Jiang to the north and south. He could be considered a genius general. In this small lake, Wu Cheng was no match for him in terms of water combat!
……
Just as Wu Cheng led his 30,000-strong army and thousands of small boats to the center of the lake and could see Liangshan from afar, something unexpected happened.
Since Wu Cheng was the commander, he naturally stood at the forefront of the ships.
At that moment, it seemed like some big fish swam underwater. Wu Cheng didn't pay much attention to it, but not long after, a soldier suddenly shouted.
"Not good, the boat is leaking!"
After saying this, the soldiers on the ship prepared to use their clothes to block the broken warship. However, at this moment, they were completely vulnerable in the face of the power of nature.
However, due to the large number of battleships, Wu Cheng immediately ordered the surrounding battleships to sail over and prepare to rescue them.
To him, these thousands of ships were originally collected from various places. It was rare for a few ships to leak after years of disrepair, so it was normal.
Just as he was thinking about this, not long after, a lieutenant from the rear suddenly reported that more than a hundred warships at the rear had suddenly leaked water and started to sink.
When Wu Cheng heard the news, no matter how stupid he was, he understood the severity of the situation.
It would be fine if one or two ships sank, but judging from the current situation, it must have been man-made.
Wu Cheng shouted at the thought.
"Quick, there's someone underwater. Take the bow and arrow to kill him. Quick!”
Following Wu Cheng's roar, the surviving soldiers finally reacted. They picked up their bows and arrows and nocked them toward the bottom of the water.
However, there was one thing that made these soldiers unable to stand steadily.
As soldiers of the Central Plains, very few of them knew how to swim. Otherwise, when Cao Cao's million-strong army went south, he would not have lacked a navy.
Moreover, the soldiers were not good at swimming and were not used to the environment. Then, more than half of them were burned to death.
Therefore, when these disdisciplined soldiers stood on the ship, they could not even unleash one-third of their original combat strength.
Even so, he still wanted to shoot Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, and the others who were proficient in swimming underwater. What a joke!
One had to know that Zhang Shun was able to stay underwater for three days without eating, drinking, or breathing. It was obvious how good his swimming skills were!
Although it was a bit exaggerated to say so in the novel, it was enough to prove Zhang Shun's swimming skills.
As for his biological brother, Zhang Heng, although he could not compare to Zhang Shun in swimming, he was not bad either.
That was why they had led 800 navy soldiers to break through those 100 warships.
After Zhang Shun and the rest succeeded in their attack, they naturally swiftly moved around and quickly arrived at the bottom of another ship. After which, they took out the sharp knives in their mouths and ruthlessly stabbed them into the bottom of the ship.
Because most of these ships were fishing boats, the wooden planks at the bottom of the ship were not firm. In addition, even arrows could not shoot at the bottom of the ship.
As a result, the 30,000-strong army of warships was decreasing at a visible rate.
Just as the government troops were disrupted by the sudden attack, panic began to spread through the army.
Especially after seeing their comrades sink into the water and disappear without a trace, the government troops became chaotic.
No matter how much the lieutenants and tenement commanders berated them, it was useless. In this boundless lake, what method did they have to avoid the war?
As the soldiers began to panic, Mengchong Battleships began to approach from afar. The leader of the fleet wielded a saber, his face ferocious.
"Brothers, listen up. Let this group of officials have a good taste of my Liangshan Lake!”

Don't blame the author for not updating much. Three times, one of them was "The Eldest Senior Brother of the Three Religious Sects in the Primordial World" and "Entertainment: Starting from Trainee. If you're interested, you can take a look.
But for this book, the author was really updating at least four chapters a day. These few days, he was updating five chapters.
Also, it should be the fifth day tomorrow. It's the new book period. If there are too many authors, the collection will be too low. Please forgive me!
