Wang Lin'er couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Do you Jinyiwei eat dry rice?" 2,000 people still lost the battle against hundreds of thieves? Pack......! ”

Finally, Wang Lin'er was relatively stable and introverted, took a deep breath, and forcibly swallowed the word "rice bucket" back.

Huang Qianhu's face was as red as purple, and he defended in a curtful manner: "We entered the city in two ways, but who knew that we were attacked by the sudden attack of the robbers, and the weapons of the robbers were superior, so we ...... So we were defeated. ”

Xu Jin had seen with his own eyes the six or seven hundred inspectors of the Inspection Division, who were vulnerable in front of more than a dozen Japanese robbers, so he was surprised that the two thousand Jinyi guards were defeated by hundreds of Japanese thieves.

Of course, it's not that Jinyiwei's combat power is scummy, the key to fighting on the battlefield is courage, if everyone is afraid of death and cowering, as long as such an army is hacked to death and injured a few, it will naturally be chaotic and collapse at the first touch. Therefore, only an army that is not afraid of death and does not hesitate to die can be qualified to become a powerful and invincible army.

Next, Xu Jin carefully asked Huang Qianhu about the process of fighting with the thieves, and although the latter had flickering words to exonerate himself, he basically described what had happened.

After hearing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but be bittersweet, and was happy that according to Huang Qianhu's description, when they arrived, the county government had not yet been captured, that is to say, the five hundred battalion brothers led by Zhao Bin of the hundred households stubbornly held the warehouse. The worry is that after repelling Tang Shaozong's brocade guards, the thieves may continue to turn back and attack the county government, and I don't know if Zhao Bin and the others can resist it.

In addition, Ma Huai in Nanjing Hubu Langzhong was shot to death by the thieves, and a five-grade civil official died in the hands of the thieves. In last year's "tribute incident", Zhu Houxi's kid was so angry that he closed down two cities and factories in a fit of rage, and cut off trade with the Japanese state.

"How is Tang Shaozong's injury?" Xu Jin asked casually again.

Huang Qianhu said: "Commander Tang...... He was injured by a stray arrow, but it wasn't too bad. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but move in his heart, this Huang Qianhu was hesitant when he spoke, and his eyes were evasive, it was estimated that Tang Shaozong's goods were not injured at all, but it was just an excuse not to come to see him.

"Go down, let Tang Hou Ye take care of his injuries!" Xu Jin waved his hand and said lightly, the top priority was to rush to Dongtai County, so he didn't bother to expose Tang Shaozong's lies, anyway, it would be a burden to carry this goods with him.

Huang Qianhu was relieved and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

After Huang Qianhu retreated, Wang Lin'er immediately said excitedly: "It seems that Zhao Bin and they have guarded the warehouse, good, although these Nanjing Jinyi guards are useless, but at least they have relieved Zhao Bin and them, I hope that the reinforcements from Yancheng Qianhu can arrive in time." (Note: The author wrote about Yancheng Wei in the previous article, and now I will correct it, it is a thousand households in Yancheng.) There are only Yangzhou Wei and Gaoyou Wei in Yangzhou Prefecture, and there is no Yancheng Wei. ）”

Xu Jin nodded, and ordered the fleet to hang up the lights and continue to drive, the canal waterway is stable, different from the turbulent and dangerous Yangtze River, as long as you are careful, there is no big problem in sailing at night.

There was no word all night, and at about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the fleet arrived outside Dongtai County.

It is said that Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong arrived first yesterday evening, and at this time, Qi Jingtong led people to greet them on the dock, and the 500 battalions of soldiers with loaded guns blocked all the intersections, and the security was quite tight.

Dongtai County Ling Zhu Su was wearing a seven-grade official robe, standing next to Qi Jingtong with a pale face, and the empty sleeve of his right hand was blown by the wind, which was quite a bit of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" tragic taste.

"See Lord-sama Chincha." When Xu Jin stepped on the gangplank and got off the boat, Zhu Kun took the lead in saluting.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhu Kun with his right sleeve empty, and blurted out: "Brother Zichun, your right hand?" ”

Although Zhu Kun's face was pale, he said indifferently: "was beheaded by the woman of the Japanese country, Guo Jiang always desperately rescued him, and the lower official was able to get his life back." ”

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Weaving Shin Miko? ”

Qi Jingtong showed a look of grief and indignation on his face, nodded and said: "My lord, the Jinyi guards who guarded Weaving Xinmiko and Chen Sipan have all been killed, in addition, the fifty brothers who stayed in Dongtai County killed twenty-six people, injured fifteen people, and seriously injured five people, and Zhao Bin of one hundred households died of his injuries and left last night. ”

Xu Jin was silent for a moment, such heavy casualties showed the fierceness of the battle at that time.

"Lao Zhao." Wang Lin'er and Zhao Datou clenched their fists, their eyes were red, and their teeth were almost crushed.

It is said that Zhao Bin, Wang Lin'er, Zhao Datou and others were all the personal soldiers of Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, and later Sun Sui appointed Xu Jin as the general judge on his deathbed, and all his personal soldiers followed Xu Jin. After King Ning's rebellion was pacified, only eleven soldiers such as Wang Lin'er were left around Xu Jin. After that, eleven personal soldiers followed Xu Jin to suppress the White Lotus Sect rebellion in Shandong.

Xu Jin was also very sad, but he soon regained his calm, as the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, after experiencing large and small tragic bloody battles, his heart has become rock-solid, not to mention, as a coach, he should not show a weak side in front of his subordinates at any time, and the best way to comfort his comrades is the head of the enemy!

"What's the matter?" Xu Jin didn't see Xie Erjian, so he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"The thieves plundered several salt works, and at noon yesterday, they fled by boat along the canal in the direction of Rugao County, and Xiao Xie immediately led a hundred brothers to pursue him after arriving last night." Qi Jingtong replied.

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning and asked, "The thieves didn't escape from the sea?" ”

Zhu Kun replied: "On the night of the incident, Xia Guan originally wanted to summon the inspectors of the Xixi Inspection Division to enter the city to support, but who knew that the Inspection Division had already been taken down by the thieves. Xia Guan and Guo killed the ten thieves who were left behind, and then burned all the ships in one fire. The thieves had no way out, so they fled to Rugao County, probably trying to take the sea ship from the Haimen area and go to sea. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, although the second brother-in-law pursued a few hours late, but one person and two riders, maybe he could really catch up.

"My lord, my subordinates have asked to attack!" Wang Lin'er and Zhao Datou almost asked for battle in unison.

"Big head, you stay and protect your lord!" Wang Lin'er reprimanded with a dark face.

Zhao Datou stiffened his neck and argued: "It is enough for adults to have the protection of Qi Qianhu, and Lao Tzu wants to kill the thief." ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two can go, but don't make sense." ”

Wang Lin'er and Zhao Datou were overjoyed, and saluted and promised, and the latter also said fiercely: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely bring back the heads of all the thieves to Lao Zhao and the brothers to go to the grave." ”
