Not long after Su Yi's army marched, the first batch of scouts had already returned, and they were soon led to report the news in front of the main general. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he heard that it was Xiadutang near the Longdu Ferry that was on fire, Su Yi's hanging heart relaxed a little, and then he asked quickly: "So what is the situation of the Longdu Ferry?" Have you ever been attacked? ”

The scout shook his head and said: "Your Majesty just arrived near Xiadutang and watched the camp, the people's boats were burned, and the chaotic people fled in all directions, and it was not easy to advance, so they could only withdraw the report first." ”

Although the scouts didn't get any news from Longdu, Su Yi had gradually guessed in his heart that no matter which side of the arsonist was, the number of people was definitely not large.

On the one hand, Stone Town has its own guards here, there are Zhang Jianbu and many ranger lookouts in the east of Jiankang, and Xuancheng in the south is even more swept away, no matter which direction it is impossible for a large army to sneak in here. On the other hand, the most important thing near Longdu is naturally the rice grain at the ferry, and the other party does not rush to Longdu and chooses the capital, which must be because of insufficient military strength.

With such an understanding, Su Yi gradually put his mind at ease, and on the one hand, he sent someone to report to Stone City that he did not need to be overly nervous, and divided his troops to guard the exit around Jiankang City according to the original plan, and on the other hand, another worry came to his heart.

Thousands of people in Xiadutang are extremely important manpower, and they have to rely on them for transporting rice and grain supplies, especially when the Guyu War is in full swing, the slightest delay in the supply of the rear will make the front-line army unstable. Moreover, these people are all villagers from the left side of Danyang, once they are allowed to flow in all directions, not only will it not be easy to concentrate again, but it may also breed other incidents, or shake the already wavering hearts of the guards.

After a slight groan, Su Yi ordered his men to speed up their march, making sure to keep them under the watchful eye before they completely dispersed. There is also his own speculation about the situation of the enemy, after all, he will be completely relieved to see that the Longdu ferry is safe and sound.

At this time, it was past midnight, and more than an hour had passed since Xiadutang was burned, and not only a large number of people had fled to Siye, but even the thousands of sergeants in the barracks had already been dispersed. The civilian boats moored in the pond are still burning and billowing smoke.

On a small hill not far from Xiadutang, Xu Mao and the others were standing or standing, almost all of them injured. In order to maintain their agility, they did not wear armor that was too bulky but more heavily defended, and went into battle with light armor.

Dozens of men went to attack the camp of a thousand people, although they had a surprise advantage, but the strength was also really weak, and in order to cause the greatest disturbance in the shortest possible time, everyone had to do everything they could, and the time was tight and did not allow them to restrain and hide, so that almost everyone was besieged to varying degrees. Being able to survive and rush out of the chaos is already a fluke.

Xu Mao's left shoulder blade was shot by a stray arrow, and he was also stabbed in the abdomen, but he didn't have time to treat it carefully, so he just broke the shaft of the arrow and bandaged it slightly. At this moment, he was supported by a Longxi pawn, and looked anxiously at the people who had fled in a hurry, hoping to find his companion.

The location where they are now is the meeting place selected earlier, and the agreed time has already passed at this time, but the number of people gathered around Xu Mao is only about 20 people, and the two children of the family who accompany the team, such as Xie Yi and Yu Manzhi, have not yet been found.

"General, the hour has passed!"

One of the Longxi soldiers couldn't help but remind that this time the battalion was not the most arduous task they had carried out in the past, and when they were in chaos or quelling the chaos in the early years, there was even a situation where a squad was wiped out. Although I also mourn in my heart that my companions are not in the chaos, this is their mission. The cultivation of Longxi pawns is far more difficult than that of ordinary family soldiers, and they are not needed in ordinary battles, but it is their unshirkable responsibility to raid or attack fortifications like this.

"Wait another quarter of an hour!"

Xu Mao said in a depressed tone, there was still a fluke in his heart. He was accustomed to seeing life and death, and knew that the task of this trip was arduous, and losing half of it was the best result. But in this operation, whether it was Yu Manzhi, who did not regard his family background as his beauty and took the lead, or these brave and brave Longxi soldiers who were not afraid of death, he felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. He would rather stay in danger for a few more points, and it is worth it to be able to rescue one more comrade.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

A Longxi pawn who was squatting on the rock and watching suddenly pointed to the bottom and said in surprise, Xu Mao and the others hurriedly looked, only to see that there were more than 20 people below supporting each other and walking here, it was Yu Manzhi and his party.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they pushed away the people who were running away to meet them. Before he got closer, he heard Yu Manzhi, whose entire arm was drooping, pointing at Xie Yi and scolding: "Xie Wuyi, you idiot! I said it was this hill, and you had to take us westward! ”

Xie Yi, who made a big oolong and ran to the wrong gathering place with everyone, didn't dare to refute after hearing this, but smiled awkwardly: "I was too obsessed with drinking too much wine earlier, don't blame it!" In the coming days, I will drink in the middle of the day, and I will not leave any money for meritorious deeds, and I will have fun with you! ”

After the catastrophe, they met with their companions, even if these people had disputes, they still had more joy in their hearts, and they stayed here to deal with the injuries on their bodies for a while, and then they walked down the hill together and went in the direction of Qingxi in the northeast. Yu Manzhi's entire arm was smashed and dislocated, and there was a bloody knife wound behind his ear that almost split half of his head, but he didn't realize it, and he was holding a few bloody decapitated heads, and muttered that he wanted to take them home for his father to see.

Time passed little by little, and as the defenders of the 3,000 Stone City rushed in, a large number of people were driven eastward. The camp at Longdu Ferry was also alert, erecting a blazing torch, and thousands of defenders were waiting for it, while hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the camp to inquire about the news, and at the same time drove away the people who fled here.

After the two armies converged, the Longdu guard hurriedly came to exchange news with Su Yi, and Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the direction of Longdu was indeed not attacked, and confirmed his guess. This time, he was really careless, I don't know which side was invaded by a small group, and he actually caused such a big mess, so that the entire Xiadu Pond was almost destroyed. But fortunately, the other side was short of manpower, and although there was a riot, it was only a false alarm.

Su Yi quickly instructed the dragon capital to clean up the situation, and then prepared to return to the outside of Jiankang City to calm the chaos, when he suddenly heard a rumbling and dull sound in his ears, and then the entire earth under his feet trembled, as if ten thousand horses were galloping, and it seemed that the earth dragon had turned over. When I was hesitating in my heart, I suddenly heard a terrible roar in the distance: "The torrent is coming......"

The sound has not stopped, and the loud noise between heaven and earth is becoming clearer and clearer, it is the loud sound of the water waves that shake the mountains and make people smell the color!

Su Yi's mind suddenly went blank, and then there was a flash of inspiration: "Longdu Hangdai...... Damn it! ”

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt at this point, and the whole person was pulled up by the guards and rushed to the nearest hill, only to see the surging water waves carrying mud and rocks pushing sideways, and the original Longdu camp had already been swallowed up by the flood! Immediately, a wave of water surged, suddenly extinguishing many torches in front of the camp gate, and it was already pitch black in the field of vision, and Su Yi's ears roared, mixed with a screaming scream!

――――――

Since the cattle and horses prepared here in the earlier navigation were already diverted for other purposes, it was up to the group of captured guards to finally open the gate and release water to pull the winch and iron cables.

The water in the pond was pouring down, and Shen Zhezi had no time to check what kind of results the water attack could cause. But looking at the sluice gate, you can know that the Longdu ferry will not be spared, and it will become a country. The water dai is used to raise the water level, and the river must maintain a certain drop, and the Longdu water dai has not opened the sluice gate for more than half a year, the water storage is abundant, this time the sluice is fully opened, the abundance of water is not inferior to the flash flood!

"General, what should be done with these prisoners of the guards?"

After completing the task so smoothly, all the sons of the family, including Long Xi, were very excited, and someone stepped forward to ask.

Glancing at the trembling guards, Shen Zhezi waved his hand after a slight groan: "Let them go by themselves." ”

Shen Zhezi is not a murderous person in nature, even if the two armies face each other, he never thinks how many beheadings are beautiful. Besides, these guards have no position to speak of, and even if they are evil, they are coerced by others. They may not be good, but they are not born murderers.

"The general is merciful, let you and others flee for their lives, and each of them will return to their homeland to hide, if anyone dares to rebel again, he will not be spared!"

The Longxi soldiers stepped forward to give the order, and when the captives heard this, they scattered and fled. Although now they can also see that there are only a few dozen of this group of so-called Wang Shi, they really can't have any thoughts of resistance, and more than half of them disappeared into the night without spinning. But there were also dozens of people who stayed, and when they saw that the expressions of the Longxi soldiers turned unkind, they hurriedly bowed down and said: "We are coerced by the thieves, although we have the truth of rebellion, but we really have no intention of doing evil!" May the general drive to serve and repay the merit with sin! ”

Shen Zhezi groaned slightly after hearing this, and then ordered: "Give them the blade!" ”

"General, this ......"

Hui Ji Kong stepped forward and whispered, I really don't worry about these soldiers who easily defect.

"We are the teachers of the king's destiny, how can we prevent people from returning to the king's rule."

Although Shen Zhezi said it righteously, in fact, it was not harmful to accept these people, not to mention that the number of these remaining captives was only more than fifty people, even if it doubled, it would be difficult to threaten their Longxi soldiers.

"Let's go!"

After the captives were equipped with their own weapons, Shen Zhezi led his troops to double their number and galloped towards Qingxi in the north. He had to rush outside the city before dawn and rush into Taicheng to take advantage of the last bit of night cover to grasp the situation!
