Qin Yue heard Yang Youcai's words, and the more he felt that what he said made sense, and immediately began to arrange for people to prepare for the water, most of his men had been in Myanmar and knew a lot of water, so he immediately gathered three hundred people and prepared to go into the water.

It's just that these people no longer have the kind of short swords that are specially made, and those short swords have been taken away by the brothers in front of them, and they can only use short knives or daggers.

However, their morale is still very high, they have heard about Cheng Xiaolian's refusal to throw palm thunder into the water just now, and they are willing to go into the water to fight, because they know that His Royal Highness behind them will not sacrifice their lives in vain, and they also believe that they have the ability to withstand the enemy's attack.

These people went down the rope one after another into the water, and then rushed to the front to start supporting, Cheng Xiaolian They couldn't see what was going on in the water at all, they could only look forward to their own people withdrawing, or unfortunately, the enemy's big ship was under the pass.

Thinking of this mileage, Xiaolian was a little anxious, he was not an old general sitting firmly on Mount Tai, this was a hairy boy who had not fought a few hard battles, and it was better to jump into the water to find out what was better than to suffer here.

Yang Youcai was the first to notice his anxiety, and immediately walked closer: "Your Highness, don't worry, we don't have any advantage in this kind of heavy rain, and the people on the opposite side may not have an advantage, it's basically a scuffle, just see who can calm down." ”

Cheng Xiaolian wiped the rain on his face: "We are now like gamblers on the gambling table, pressing all the silver on the gambling table, just waiting for the moment when the cup is opened, or win a big victory, or lose everything." ”

Yang Youcai was a little puzzled: "Why is His Highness so discouraged?" Even if we lose this battle, there will still be a chance in the future, just play slowly, didn't we just say it in the past? ”

"I used to think so, even if Qutang Pass is lost, we can still go to Fengjie, but after seeing their ruthlessness, I think if we lose, they will definitely not give us a chance to breathe. If we win this game, the momentum will suppress them, and if we can't suppress this momentum, they will be like a bamboo. ”

In later generations, Cheng Xiaolian didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "overwhelming", but now he has understood that Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin has drawn a big pie, and he must immediately extinguish the hope of Geng Shang's coalition army, otherwise once they see the slightest possibility, they will all become crazy, Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin just wants a place to stand, and he doesn't care whether the people can live at all. As long as his soldiers taste the sweetness, they can't stop moving forward.

Qin Yue also nodded in agreement on the side: "I heard people say in the past that the princes of these Han people are just foxes and fake tigers, they really don't have the ability, and their ability to slap horses is not small, now it seems that this rumor is not credible, in this case, few soldiers can hold on, they may be because of the combat effectiveness of gold and silver, but this combat power should not be underestimated." ”

When the soldiers of the mountains and rivers in the water were feeling struggling, many comrades suddenly poured out behind them, they were in good spirits, and rushed up with weapons, and they also heard the shouts from this side on the gate, what do you say to break an iron rope and reward a hundred taels of silver, everyone is two shoulders and a head, you take a hundred taels will be more powerful? They don't have the luxury of a hundred taels of silver, and now they are living a pretty good life, and their monthly salaries can be paid on time, if the Ming Dynasty loses, they will have no foundation for their lives.

In order to protect the world of the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect their Ming Dynasty, so they are desperate, and whoever is afraid of death will not come to eat this bowl of rice.

So the red-eyed soldiers on both sides quickly rushed together, and the soldiers of Geng Shang's coalition army were also a little strange, they were desperately trying for a hundred taels of silver, for the temptation of not sealing the knife, why did these soldiers on the other side work hard? I didn't hear them shout anything about money or land.

Some of the soldiers have been numb to killing, they forgot everything around them, only knew that they mechanically waved their arms and began to slash, and the water entered their mouths and just wanted to swallow it, they smelled a fishy smell, and quickly spit it out, and their heads reacted a little, and they found the enemy and killed it.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Geng Jingzhong sighed softly: "Let's go." ”

Shang Zhixin's eyes widened: "Wait a little longer, maybe they will be defeated in the next moment." ”

Geng Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "I don't know if they are defeated or not, the soldiers under my command will not be able to withstand it, if the soldiers under Brother Shang Shi can still withstand it, it will be no problem to fight for another hour." ”

Shang Zhixin coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face, his soldiers couldn't stand it for a long time, he knew that this time he sent troops, the Geng family brought all the family funds, and his family funds were still half of Guangdong, if he couldn't stand it, his soldiers couldn't stand it first, so he said: "Since Brother Geng Shi has made a decision, then do what Brother Geng Shi said." ”

Soon Geng Jingzhong's big boat came from Mingjin's voice, Cheng Xiaolian They just heard this voice and thought they were hallucinating, until this voice continued, Cheng Xiaolian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "They seem to have withdrawn." ”

"That's right, Your Highness, they did retreat."

The people at the head of the city suddenly had a sense of relief, just like two people running 10,000 meters, no one knew who would fall first, so everyone held their spirits and secretly reminded themselves not to fall down before others, and now they finally survived until the opponent fell, and the joy in their hearts was absolutely indescribable.

Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand and pressed the wall of the pass: "We successfully defended Qutang Pass." ”

Soon the soldiers under the water also withdrew, and they saw the big ship go away with their own eyes, and hurriedly came back to report the good news: "Your Highness, the enemy army has retreated!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Hurry up and let the brothers come up, don't soak in the water." ”

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the sound of rain was a little quieter, Qin Yue walked closer: "Your Highness has worked hard all night to personally supervise the battle, and now that the war has been decided, I implore Your Highness to return to the camp to rest." ”

Hulala knelt down behind him: "I implore Your Highness to return to the camp to rest." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll go back to the camp." Saying that, he glanced at Qin Yue: "The weather in Qutangguan is warm, let the brothers dry their clothes after returning to the camp, and no one has to drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm up, I don't want the brothers to be able to stand up when they fight tomorrow." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, these things are known to the ministers."

Cheng Xiaolian returned to his residence, changed into clean clothes, drank a bowl of hot ginger soup, and ate something again, and finally felt that his body had become his own again, only to feel sore, and he lay down on the bed without thinking about it, ready to take a big nap to replenish his strength, at this time, Yang Youcai hurriedly walked in again.
