The boat did not stay too long at the pier of Kaifeng Prefecture, and only an hour later, it sailed away from the new dagger

The wharf of Kaifeng Mansion seems to be very deserted, probably under the influence of the Liukou, what merchants are on the wharf, it can also be judged that Kaifeng Mansion must also be in a panic, and the life of Wu Fu, the governor of Henan, must be not good. Gong County, to which Henan Province belongs, is still under the control of the imperial court, but because it is in Henan Province, it seems to be even more depressed, and there are almost no people on the dock.

The status quo of all this has helped Zheng Jiajun and kept Caochuan from any influence and attention.

Henan's Caoyun has always been insisting, especially after Zheng Xunrui became the governor of Caoyun, he paid more attention to the Caoyun in Kaifeng Luoyang and other places, the reason is that Kaifeng and Luoyang and other places are important geographical locations, and secondly, this is the most convenient passage into Shaanxi, a large amount of grain is transported from here to Shaanxi, which can save too much cost.

When the boat left the dock of Kaifeng Mansion, Zheng Xunrui's spirit was highly concentrated, and a lot of information was also sent in a steady stream, among which the evacuation of the rogue at the Luoyang wharf made him a little confused, I don't know what the reason is, the news reported by the scout must be accurate, but in any case, this is a great thing for Zheng Jiajun.

Luoyang Mansion City is the hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui Dynasty dug through the Grand Canal during the great cause, the wharf is only eight miles away from Luoyang Mansion City, it can be said that it is close to Luoyang Mansion City, it is precisely because of the prosperity of the transportation of the Grand Canal, resulting in the geographical location of Luoyang Mansion City is extremely important, Li Yan suggested to King Chuang that the righteous army will Luoyang Mansion City as a base camp, it is reasonable, no matter how the confrontation between the imperial court and the righteous army, the common people always have to live, Luoyang, which is in the hub of the Grand Canal, the importance of its commerce and trade is self-evident, Non-governmental business exchanges cannot be blocked.

All the information obtained was beneficial to the Zheng family's army, and Li Zicheng commanded 80,000 rogues. Shang is entrenched in the area of Nanyang Mansion City, and the Liukou of Luoyang Mansion City have contracted their defense, and almost all of them are around Luoyang Mansion City.

On May 14, the 11th year of Chongzhen, unitary time.

The boat is only more than 20 miles away from Luoyang Wharf. It will take two hours at most for the boat to arrive in Luoyang.

Wang Xiaoer and the others had already gathered on the boat that Zheng Xunrui was riding.

Zheng Xunrui gave an order with a serious face.

"Wang Xiaoer, the boat will stay here for an hour or so, and arrive at Luoyang Wharf at the right time, and according to the plan, the attack on Luoyang Mansion City will start tomorrow. The scouts you led have detected a lot of intelligence and done a good job, and now your most important task is to secretly occupy the Luoyang dock to ensure that the ships can dock smoothly, and the scout battalion must complete the task cleanly, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will affect the next move of the army. ”

The scout battalion soldiers disembarked here and walked all to the Luoyang wharf. It was about to get dark, and we were to take advantage of the darkness to completely occupy the docks within two hours. ”

"The number of rogues at Luoyang Wharf is very small, and the wharf is also in a state of stagnation, so don't alarm the rogues or the people nearby in your actions."

Wang Xiaoer replied with a fist.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will complete the task, occupy the dock, and ensure that the boat arrives at the dock smoothly."

After Wang Xiaoer left. Zheng Xunrui spoke to Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others.

"Tomorrow's battle to attack Luoyang Mansion City, I call it a blitzkrieg, the Zheng family army must attack like lightning, and also quickly occupy Luoyang Mansion City like lightning. According to the information detected by the scouts, of the 20,000 rogues stationed in Luoyang Fucheng, 10,000 of them were stationed in the military camp outside the city, and 10,000 were stationed in the city. It's definitely going to enter the city, and we don't have to worry too much about this situation. ”

"In this battle, the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion will be the main force of the attack, especially the artillery battalion, we must let the rogues collapse psychologically, let the rogues completely lose the idea of resistance, so that they can only kneel and surrender, Luoyang Mansion City is the base camp of the rogues, there is a lot of money and grain stored in it, these things can not be damaged in any way, if there are rogues who burn the money and grain, there will be no forgiveness."

The 1,000 scout battalion soldiers led by Wang Xiaoer were already familiar with the road to Luoyang Wharf, and they galloped along the river embankment in the direction of the wharf.

More than twenty miles, the scouts did not ride horses, but relied on their legs, and arrived in half an hour.

At three o'clock, before it was completely dark, everything on the dock was clear.

Luoyang Wharf, as the hub of the Grand Canal, has long lost its former prosperity, if it were not for a large number of wooden houses around the wharf, no one would believe how lively it used to be, the wharf can occasionally be patrolled by a sergeant with a spear, this is just a routine patrol, from the listless pace of the sergeant, they can also cope with errands.

At that time, Wang Xiaoer raised his right palm and waved it three times in the direction of the dock.

A thousand scouts sprang out and swooped down on the docks.

They were divided into three groups, Wang Xiaoer personally led 500 people, the target was the military camp on the dock, and the other two scouts, all the way to scout 300 people, the target was the area where the sailors lived on the dock, all the way to scout 200 people, the target was the patrol sergeant, and at the same time did all the vigilance.

A thousand people silently rushed towards the docks.

There was a brief scream on the dock that you couldn't notice unless you listened closely.

A quarter of an hour later, the sergeant on patrol reappeared, but the sergeant who was careful was completely different from the sergeant patrolling in front, these people were already soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun scout battalion.

Some of the troublesome is the house where the sailors of the wharf live, after the Liukou occupied the city of Luoyang, because of fear, the merchant ships no longer went to the Luoyang wharf, many sailors and wharf coolies were forced to make a living, left the Luoyang wharf, went to Gongxian or Kaifeng wharf, at least in those places can still have something to do, but the families of the sailors and coolies are impossible to leave, can only stay here, which leads to the vast majority of the people living in the wooden shed are old and weak women and children.

The soldiers of the scout camp did not expect that most of them were old and weak women and children here, they were not well fed and clothed, their faces were full of vegetables, they were weak, they did not need the soldiers to do anything, and when they saw the soldiers rushing over, they didn't even have the strength to run away.

The vast majority of the old and weak women and children were gathered together, and the soldiers took out their dry food and distributed it among the people, and the only request was that everyone should be quiet, not shouting, and not moving.

As long as there is food, where will these old and weak women and children care about other things?

At two o'clock, Wang Xiaoer gave an order to the fifteen scouts around him.

"You go and report to your lord immediately, the scout camp has completely controlled the Luoyang wharf, there is no movement, the fifty people stationed at the wharf, twenty-seven people were captured, the remaining twenty-three people were all killed, two people in the scout camp were slightly injured, after interrogating the prisoners of the rogues, from the wharf to Luoyang Fucheng, there were no rogues stationed, and no guards were arranged, the scouts reconnoitred along the road, and did not find any rogue ......"

The five scouts left and went to report the situation, Wang Xiaoer's face showed a smile, he didn't expect that the battle to capture the dock would be so smooth, I really don't know how these rogues were arranged, if they knew this situation, two hundred scouts would be able to completely control the dock.

The only thing that Wang Xiaoer didn't expect was that almost all of the people in the wooden shed were old and weak women and children, these people were struggling on the verge of death, because the young and strong left, their lives were extremely miserable, and after the rogues occupied Luoyang, they didn't care about the situation at the dock at all, and let these people fend for themselves.

All the dry food on the soldiers of the scout battalion was taken out, and the mood of these people was finally stabilized.

For the upcoming battle to attack Luoyang Mansion City, Wang Xiaoer is full of confidence, as long as it is under the leadership of Lord Zheng, the Zheng family army can win a hundred battles, and this time is no exception.

When it was only five miles away from Luoyang Wharf, Zheng Xunrui received a report from the scouts, Wang Xiaoer led the scout camp and occupied the wharf cleanly, without causing any movement, the wharf was very quiet, and from the wharf to Luoyang Fucheng, there was no vigilance during the period.

This made Zheng Xunrui feel incredible, he even had some suspicions, it was Li Yan who was stationed in Luoyang Mansion City, it is said that Li Yan has a very good ability, it is impossible not to pay attention to the dock, although the main attention of the Liukou has been concentrated on the army led by Xiong Wencan, but no matter what, there should still be vigilance.

Wang Xiaoer has already sent the rogue to investigate, the information will not be false, and the rogue never dreamed that the Zheng family army would launch a surprise attack, and a battle is destined to be another complete victory for the Zheng family army.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Xunrui spoke to Zheng Jinhong beside him.

"After the boat arrived at the wharf, send scouts to contact Hong Xintao, the five thousand soldiers of the Zheng family army led by Hong Xintao have arrived at Tongguan and are waiting, ordering them to attack immediately to clear the rogues in Henan Province, in addition, the scout battalion should pay special attention to the situation of the rogues in Ruzhou and Huaiqing Mansion in Nanyang Prefecture, and report it at any time if there is anything abnormal."

"Luoyang Wharf has been completely controlled, and the time of our attack must also be adjusted, the original plan was to attack tomorrow, and I will attack when I arrive, so that it can give a devastating blow to the rogues stationed outside the city, so that they have no chance to be counted in the city of Luoyang, as for the rogues in the city of Luoyang, if they want to go out of the city to rescue, then I can't ask for it."

After saying this, Zheng Xunrui's face showed a smile, and Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others also showed smiles on their faces, attacking Luoyang Mansion City was originally a dangerous battle, but now it has become extremely smooth. (To be continued.) )
