The Jinyi guards on the other side got the news and quickly started to act, these people did not reveal the identity of the Jinyi guards before, but the last time they revealed the news that the Geng Shang coalition army was coming to arrest people, it was enough to gain the trust of others.

After receiving the order to inadvertently reveal the news to Da Ming, these people immediately began to act.

"I heard that the Geng Shang coalition army poisoned the river water in order to win the battle, and the water in the river is no longer drinkable."

Those who heard it were skeptical, and immediately someone stood up: "Nonsense, you? The Geng Shang coalition army is downstream, the army of the Ming Dynasty is upstream, and the Geng Shang coalition army will poison when they are crazy, in addition to themselves, who else can they poison? ”

"You don't know this, the Geng Shang coalition army is all landlubbers, I've heard of it, these days they are fluttering by the river to swim, but it's easy to learn to swim, it's hard to slip like a fish in the water. They were no match for the Ming Dynasty soldiers who grew up by the river in the water, so they had to poison the water so that the Ming Dynasty soldiers could not go into the water and they could attack better. ”

An old man sneered beside him: "I have lived for sixty years, old man, and I have never heard that poisoning people in water can poison people, you kid made it up, right?" ”

At this time, a person ran over and rushed over: "Folks, the river is full of dead fish, the dragon lord is gracious, let's hurry up and pick it up, it's too late, but it's all flowing down the river." ”

All the people present stared at him stunned, and the man looked up and down his whole body, and found nothing wrong, scratching his head: "What are you looking at?" ”

The old man, who was still refuting just now, sighed: "This fish can't be eaten, tell the villagers, don't talk to the water in the river for the past two days, if you can't do it, just dig a well at the entrance of the village." Speaking of this, he cursed in a low voice: "These dogs who have lost their children and grandchildren will be punished sooner or later." ”

He wanted to say something more ruthless, but thinking that they were just ordinary people who farmed the land, if they wanted to deal with other people's troops, they would simply hit a stone with an egg, so he could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

The brocade guard said leisurely: "This matter could not have been said by the Ming Dynasty court, but after the poisoning, he was the first to pass the news over, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty court must be a good person." ”

He did not expose the identity of Jinyiwei, so he naturally spoke from the perspective of ordinary people, so he did not call Cheng Xiaolian His Royal Highness, but directly called him the emperor.

Someone next to him immediately responded: "That's right, the last time Geng Shang's coalition army wanted to rob people, it was the news they transmitted, the Ming Dynasty court is benevolent." ”

The old man snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, if we say this kind of thing now, if we spread this kind of thing, we have to let the people of Geng Shang's coalition army cut off their heads, do you still want to live?" They all go back to farming, and every door keeper will die on this mouth sooner or later. ”

Jin Yiwei knew that it would definitely backfire if he continued to talk about it, so he didn't say anything more, the effect he wanted had been achieved, and these people knew that the Ming court would do well, and his task would be completed, and other things were not within the scope of his thinking.

This scene appeared in the villages along the river, and the people on Qutang Guan did not bother to care about this, because half an hour ago, the people in the small boat on the opposite side had already begun to enter the water. Not to be outdone, the people at the pass immediately jumped into the water along the rope.

It's just that they are still at a disadvantage now, because once the Geng Shang coalition army continues to poison, the people of the Geng Shang coalition army can retreat to the boat, they have nowhere to hide, and it is not possible to escape back to the pass for a while.

Therefore, Qin Yue instructed them that once the other party threw poison, he would immediately ring gold, and after hearing it, he would not stop, and immediately retreat above the pass.

Looking at the blood bubbles coming out of the water, Shang Zhixin glanced at Geng Jingzhong: "Let's throw poison again." ”

Geng Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "Brother Shang Shi, let's throw poison again, we don't have to attack the city today, just wait for the water to become non-poisonous, we have to wait for a few hours, besides, we don't have so much poison, today is still a real fight with a real gun, after all, we have to fight, they also have precautions, poison is not necessarily easy to use." ”

Shang Zhixin was a little regretful: "If these people are poisoned again, maybe we can dismantle the iron rope with peace of mind." You see, we are now under the fire of the rock wall, and if we stay a little longer, we will lose a lot of brothers. ”

Geng Jingzhong sighed: "The defenders in the city are definitely not the bandits that Wu Sangui said, the two of us should have been killed by him, he must have suffered a loss, so he got us here." ”

Shang Zhixin also reacted a little at this time: "That's right, if someone comes out of the deep mountains, how can they stop the attack of our two families." ”

"So let's throw aside our previous lofty minds and fight this battle with them in peace and stability, I believe that they have elite soldiers here in Qutang Pass, there may not be so many people in Sichuan, we win this battle, and half of the battle in Sichuan will be won."

Looking at the blood bubbles that kept bubbling out of the water, Geng Jingzhong shook his head: "Our people are still a little hot, it is estimated that they may not be their opponents in the water, but this is also a helpless thing, recruits always have to go through baptism to become veterans, just let them train by the river, they will never be able to fight." ”

Shang Zhixin nodded: "Brother Geng Shi's words are right, this soldier will fight, the more fierce he becomes, these people under our command are fierce enough, as long as they arouse their ferocity in the water." ”

Cheng Xiaolian watched the battle in the water below from the top of the city: "The Geng Shang coalition army still has a foundation, although it went through the initial panic, but it quickly stabilized its position, but it couldn't be defeated, but it didn't suffer a big loss." ”

Qin Yue also nodded: "We can't underestimate the heroes of the world, but Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, they are quite strong, and we are not weak, the two sides can't always expect each other to be soft persimmons, it still depends on the strength of the abilities of both sides." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It's already very good that we can compete with Geng Shang's coalition army, and if we push back a few decades, they can be counted in the Han army except for Wu Sangui, otherwise why don't others be crowned kings, they can be crowned kings, so we don't have to be arrogant, we will be able to compete with Wu Sangui one day." ”

The battle in the water could not be won or lost for a while, the iron cables were dismantled four or five one after another, and it was already noon, Geng Jingzhong took a look: "We can prepare to retreat." ”

"It's only noon."

"Don't forget, we got up in the middle of the night, and if we continue to fight, even if the brothers below can afford to eat, will we fight tomorrow?"
