When the captain of the guard heard this, he also knew that he could only bite the bullet at this time, and it was impossible for his own marshal to take the lead, so he would represent the marshal to take the lead.

He stretched out his hand and took off his shirt, and went into the water with his sword, he also knew a little about water, and when he got to the water, he found the right time to fight with a water ghost, but although the water ghost did not have much strength, he was very cunning, and he went around and added a lot of wounds.

A pair of vicious eyes stared at him in the surrounding water, letting him know that he was afraid that he would not be able to die well this time, so he found the right time to pounce on him, and tightly strangled a person's neck with both hands, although there was a sharp pain in his back, but he did not let go.

In the small boat on the water, a pair of eyes stared down tightly, knowing that the captain of the escort had floated up, and in his arm was a water ghost they had called.

Only at this time did everyone see that it was indeed a human being, and because the death of the captain of their own guard aroused their blood, someone immediately shouted: "Brothers, when you are a soldier and eat food, whoever is afraid of death is raised by the little lady." With that, the first one jumped into the water.

The people around him were also very affected when they saw it, and there was a sharp sword of military law behind him, so they immediately jumped into the water: "Brothers, fight with them!" ”

Although the people in the army of Geng Jingzhong and Monk Zhixin have basically changed a group of young people, they can follow the Manchu iron cavalry from outside the pass into the pass, and kill step by step to the point of the Manchu king, and the inheritance in the army cannot be underestimated.

This is Cheng Xiaolian's first feeling after watching the battle, maybe the king of Pingnan and the king of Jingnan have a big festival, but it is undeniable that their army is indeed a little fierce.

Then the people on both sides were entangled in the water, although there were not many people on Cheng Xiaolian's side, but they were all proficient in water, and they were as slippery and non-sticky as loaches in the water, and sometimes three or four people surrounded one person and could not necessarily kill him.

Geng Shanglian has a lot of soldiers, but there are very few people with good water quality, and some people have to come out to breathe after ten breaths, and when they go down again, the besieging enemy is gone.

Soon a wet man came to Geng Jingzhong's approach: "Marshal, withdraw the troops, we can't beat people in the water, and if this continues, those brothers will have to die, and then we won't be able to dismantle this iron cable." ”

Geng Jingzhong glared: "Withdraw the troops? After withdrawing now, it still can't be defeated. ”

"General, the brothers will have little water, let's go back and find some fishermen by the river, let them start to dismantle the iron cables, and then we will attack the city, but now we can't fight anymore, if we continue to fight, the brothers in front will not be able to come back."

Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth: "Withdraw the army!" He admitted that the soldier under the water was reasonable, there was no need to take the lives of his own soldiers to fill in the matter of dismantling the iron cable, there were so many fishermen on the riverside, there was always someone willing to do it if they gave more silver, and the next time they rushed over at night, they would definitely be able to dismantle the iron cable.

So the army remembered the sound of Mingjin retreating, the soldiers in front of them breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to the boat, they are really powerful and have nowhere to go, to say that in addition to the Manchu Tartars in the world, no one has ever made them so aggrieved, it is simply a punch on the cotton, and then the feeling of being blinded by the flying cotton wool.

At this time, it was not yet noon, and according to the normal rhythm of war, it was a good time to attack, but the importance of fighting a war was to adapt to changes, and if it was read out from the book, it was doomed to defeat.

Seeing them retreat, Cheng Xiaolian also breathed a sigh of relief, the artillery and archers were useless, if the soldiers under the water were defeated, they would probably have to watch people dismantle the iron cables, but fortunately, those soldiers held on.

Immediately after that, he gathered the main generals: "Geng Shang's coalition army has tasted the sweetness of the night attack, and they will definitely continue to come over next time, we can't see their actions clearly at night, so the archers and artillery men are all useless, do you have any good solutions?" ”

The people present glanced at each other, all wanting to see what good ideas others had, Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Lord Qin, you are the eldest official, you say it first." ”

"They sneak attacked on the fifth watchday, not only did they catch us off guard, but the Jinyiwei brothers on the other side were afraid that they were also traced by them, and we can't always exchange the lives of the Jinyiwei brothers for the intelligence of the enemy's attack, so I suggest that we get some firewood on the rock walls on both sides of the strait as far as our eyes can see, and we are not short of wood, so that it will be okay to burn all night, so that even if there is a situation like today, we will not see nothing."

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "Make the fire a little higher, don't let them destroy it at once." Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "It is better to get something like a lantern, not wrapped in paper, but tied up with iron nets, and sticking out from the rock wall, so that the lighting effect is better, and the second is to prevent the wind." The top can be exposed, making it easier for people on the rock wall to add firewood. ”

Qin Yue nodded: "What His Highness said makes sense, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Cheng Xiaolian looked at it again and stared at Jia Xu: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Jia Xu laughed: "We can see in today's war, they don't have much water, and there are even fewer people who are proficient in water, next time they want to destroy the iron cable, they will definitely find some water, but Fujian and Guangdong are far away from here, so they can only find nearby fishermen, we can release the news in advance, as long as they can't find the fishermen, they can't untie the iron cable, they can't untie the iron cable, how can they attack the pass?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "Yang Youcai, you should do this matter immediately, and send a message to the brothers opposite, saying that the Geng Shang coalition army has suffered a big defeat and is about to start carrying the local people in the local area." ”

Yang Youcai also laughed treacherously: "I'll do it right away, and I will definitely do it beautifully." ”

Cheng Xiaolian suddenly remembered something: "Ask where the fierce fire oil from Chengdu has gone, and also, the Baoning Mansion will get the fierce fire oil as soon as possible, our fire oil has run out, and there will be nothing to burn them next time." ”

Jin Ming was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, our soldiers who know how to water can obviously stop them, why bother to adjust the fierce fire oil." ”

"This is called taking precautions, just as we think about how to deal with them, they will definitely think about how to deal with us when they go back, and there are other ways to stop it then, understand?"

"The Admiral understands."

Besides, Shang Zhixin returned to the camp, and the first thing he did was to cut down his personal guards in front of the whole army: "This king eats and drinks well to support you, not to let you embarrass this king at a critical time, what do you make people laugh at today?" I promise, next time, even your family will be killed! ”
