Chapter 164: Poor Kou Yi Chase
Many of the defeated robbers broke through the walls of the estuary and fled southward, and the spearhead soldiers led by Zhou Pu interspersed the pursuit along the embankment, so that the robbers only had time to throw away their armor and flee for their lives, unable to assemble effectively.
The Poyang Lake water robbers who attacked the Jiyun Society fleet at the mouth of the Yuxi River were bought by the Qu family, and it was only after confirming that the two hundred military guards escorted with the ship did not change the beams and pillars for Lin Tie, that the Qu family brazenly drove the group of robbers to attack the estuary. People have a dead end in their thinking, Qu Wuming and the others never thought that Gu Wuchen, who was supervising the battle in Dongyang, would hand over his escort team to Lin Jian for mobilization, where could they have thought that even if the Jiyun Society fleet to Dongyang was always escorted by two hundred elites, Lin Jian still sneaked back to the estuary with more than four hundred elite soldiers?
No one reported the news, Qu Wuming saw countless figures fleeing in a hurry in the dark night, even if there were occasionally a few torches, they couldn't illuminate much of the range, Qu Wuming also thought that the group of robbers attacked the estuary and finally succeeded, and the fields were full of displaced people and refugees who had gathered to the estuary in the forest.
Although the Qu family spread the news that the Lin family withdrew from Shanglin and brought 400,000 taels of silver to the estuary, it was an exaggeration, but Qu Wuming knew that the Lin family would not hide a small amount of silver at the estuary, and he was worried that this bowl of soup would not be eaten by the Qu family, so he urged the oarsmen to work hard to operate the boat and directly attack the estuary.
The ability to reconnoiter at night is limited, and in order to keep it strictly secret, Qu Wuming is hiding people along the way, and only a few people know about the cronies of the Qu family who are mixed in with the crowd.
After Lin Tie attacked the back of the Zhukou and returned to the estuary, many of the Qu family's cronies who were hiding in the group immediately left the battlefield and fled south when they saw that the opportunity was wrong, and a few people came along the river embankment to report to Qu Wuming. It's just that the crow Wu Qi led the secret sentinel to secretly monitor the Qu family and horses, and when he saw Qu Wuming leading the crowd to go by boat to the mouth of the river, he led the crowd along the river bank to intercept and kill the people who reported to Qu Wuming.
When Qu Wuming really realized that it was not the estuary refugees who were defeated, but the group of bandits who attacked the estuary but were defeated, he led the crowd to take a boat from the Jinchuan River to the mouth of the river, only three miles away from the embankment wharf, and collided head-on with the sharp soldiers led by Zhou Pu to pursue the remnants along the embankment.
Qu Wuming was unable to turn the bow of the boat back to Quyang Town at this time, so he could only continue to make the boat go to the estuary in the name of "the estuary was attacked, and the people went to help".
If Lin Jian only caught one or two people to the disadvantage of the Qu family, the Qu family could completely deny it; If Lin Jian catches ten people and eight people, it will be troublesome for the Qu family to deny it.
Zhou Pu saw that Qu Wuming commanded three fast oars boats to continue north, he ignored it, there was no force that could threaten them at the mouth of the river, there was Lin Tie in the estuary, he didn't care about Qu Wuming to continue to drill into the trap, he didn't stop at the river embankment, and led the crowd to continue to chase and kill the fugitives to the south.
Qu Wuming went north on the one hand, and sent people from the west bank to sneak back to Quyang Town to ventilate the news, but he didn't know that Wu Qi had also arranged four or five secret sentinels on the west bank to intercept and kill the people who reported the news.
Qu Wuming knew that there had been an earth-shattering change at the mouth of the river that the Qu family had not expected, but he still couldn't know that Lin Jian personally led four hundred elite soldiers back to the estuary. It wasn't until he docked at the embankment wharf and claimed to come to the rescue but Ao Canghai led the crowd to press on the pier and couldn't get ashore, and Lin Jian appeared on the river embankment wearing Rong armor, that Qu Wuming knew that the Qu family had conspired to attack the estuary for many days and had completely fallen into this trap.
Watching Zhao Hu lead the newly formed military soldiers to slowly surround him from the mouth of the river in four armed vehicles and boats, Qu Wu Mingqiang held back his panic, looked at Lin Xuan's cold face with a red helmet, and said with a forced smile: "It is said that Lord Lin escorted supplies to Dongyang to help Lord Gu in the battle-I knew that Lord Lin was confident in the estuary, so I didn't have to take people to rescue so much." ”
"Are you ......" Lin Jian squinted at Qu Wuyang and asked uncertainly.
Qu Wuyang saw Lin Lian's hesitant posture, and his heart was a little settled, and he also knew that the Qu family was still a family of honors, and it was Jiangning's head snake, it was normal for Lin Lian to have scruples about the Qu family, could it be that Lin Lian still dared to slaughter the officers and soldiers behind him at the mouth of the river? Qu Wuming took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Qu Wuming is patrolling in Xianai Quyang, and when he saw that the estuary was attacked, he led the inspection sword archers to come to the aid of ......."
"You're talking nonsense, when I'm a three-year-old!" Lin Jian grabbed a spear from behind him and threw it towards Qu Wuming's chest with all his might, "Quyang Patrol Inspector Sword Archer is set to have ninety members, look at how many people are behind you?" ”
Qu Wuming looked at the spear that had been pierced into his chest in half, and he didn't expect Lin Tie to suddenly make a move, pointing at Lin Tie: "You, you ......" He was wearing fine armor, but he couldn't stop Lin Tie condescendingly throwing the spear at close range, he still didn't believe that Lin Tie dared to kill him at this time, and stared at Lin Tie who only spit out two words, and then fell to the ground and lost his breath.
Ao Canghai and all the warriors did not need to be ordered by Lin Binding, and they should kill the dock like a tiger.
The Quyang patrol sword archer was actually the private soldier of the Qu family, and half of the two hundred people got off the boat, half were on the boat, and they were unable to start the formation at this time. They saw the defeat of the group of Kou along the way, and they were already chilled, but they wanted to follow Qu Wuming into the tiger's den, and then saw Qu Wuming only say two words and threw a gun into the chest to kill Lin Lian, of course, knowing that the identity of the officers and soldiers could no longer provide them with life support, when Qu Wuming's close entourage led Ao Canghai to lead the crowd to kill, the others had no fighting spirit and turned around and wanted to escape.
The private soldiers who disembarked from the Qu family either fled south from the river beach, or turned around and fled into the river and swam desperately to the other side to escape for their lives. The people on the boat were also in a panic, and when they saw that the four armed vehicles and ships led by Zhao Hu were blocking the mouth of the river, less than a hundred steps away from this side, they had no heart to resist, so they turned the bow of the boat and fled south. In the panic, the two boats collided together, and more than a dozen people fell into the river......
**********
The situation when Qu Wuming was killed on the embankment wharf, Sun Jingxuan sat on the roof and saw it clearly.
Although it was already the coolest dawn of the day, the summer night was hot, and it was still very hot at this time, Sun Jing felt a chill down his spine.
Although all the responsibility can be shifted to the chaos and darkness that cannot distinguish between friend and foe afterwards, Qu Wuming must have bad intentions when he leads the crowd to come, but killing Qu Wuming on the spot and chasing and killing the officers and soldiers of Quyang Patrol as thieves still requires extraordinary courage and ruthlessness.
The Qu family is also a family of Shixun, although Qu Wuming's official position is small, Qu Yang is a petty official from the eighth rank, but his martial arts rank is from the sixth rank of Zhaowu lieutenant, even if the appearance is suspicious, but such an unclear and indiscriminate killing of Lin Tie at the mouth of the river is not a trivial matter that can be easily fooled in the past.
Sun Jingxuan sighed: Lin Tie didn't know how to accept it when he saw it, he didn't know how to advance and retreat, the estuary counterattacked and captured a large number of prisoners, and it was already a big victory for the Qu family to wash their buttocks, so why kill Qu Wuming on the spot? At this time, he wantonly pursued and killed the officers and soldiers of Quyang Inspection, but gave the Qu family an excuse to bite back.
Gu Wuchen is not in Jiangning, so Lin Jian is not afraid that which official who looks at him unpleasantly will first torture him to death for the crime of "murder"?
Sun Jingxuan hesitated again at this time, not knowing if it was better to completely draw a line with Lin Xuan.
Lin Jian was full of murderous energy, and the green armor had been stained with blood, who would have thought that a civil official would rush to kill him like a military general tonight, and he would take the lead several times?
Sun Wenwan's eyebrows condensed, watching Ao Canghai lead the crowd to pursue the Qu family's fleeing private soldiers from the river beach, Lin Jian and more than a dozen guards got on two armed vehicles and boats, and pursued the three boats that the Qu family fled south from the waterway, and the nearly two hundred soldiers gathered in front of the Lin family's new house were led by a middle-aged general who also went out of the south gate of the fence to pursue the remnants at this time, which was strange, and there were several middle-aged people among the two hundred soldiers.
At the mouth of the river, in addition to more than 60 Lin Jiayong led by Zhao Qinghe and 20 military guards led by Fu Qinghe, there were only two armed vehicles and ships carrying more than 60 newly formed military soldiers and stopped at the embankment wharf for defense; More than 200 people are cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net along the street.
Although the rout and scattered ships in Chaotian Dang still have a lot of strength when they gather, they have already been killed tonight, and even if they gather in Chaotian Dang, even if they can know that the defense of the estuary is very empty at this time, they will not dare to attack.
Sun Wenwan felt that the middle-aged people surrounded by the two hundred soldiers who attacked from the south gate of the fence were suspicious, and at this time, there was a glass lamp shining towards the south gate, Sun Wenwan pointed over and asked his father: "Who are those people?" ”
"It's him!" Sun Jingxuan was shocked by Lin Tie's killing of Wu Quming on the spot just now, and he didn't look at the Lin family's new house, so he looked back at it at this time, was shocked, gasped, and said, "No wonder Lin Tie dared to kill Qu Wuming, tonight is completely a big trap set by Gu Wuchen for the Qu family, that is the imperial court sent to Jiangning to supervise Xia Cao's Zuo Du Yushi Maritai, and the other person should be Gu Wuchen, haha, who would have expected Gu Wuchen to sneak back to the estuary from Dongyang for tonight's matter, no wonder Lin Tie can mobilize so many manpower......"
Sun Jingxuan ran Xia Cao on behalf of Dongyang Mansion, and visited Ma Ruitai, the left capital who came to Jiangning to supervise Xia Cao, although he did not have the opportunity to see Gu Wuchen, he was already able to guess that the person who was parallel to Ma Ruitai was Gu Wuchen, and there was another person he also knew, that person was Wang Xueshan's original staff, Zhao Qinmin, who had switched to Gu Wuchen at this time.
All the consequences are borne by Gu Wuchen and Ma Ruitai, what else does Lin Jian dare not kill?
At this time, there were people and horses at Donghua Gate, although it was far away, but in the dark night, the people held torches high and went out of the city gate, and Sun Jingxuan's father and daughter stood on the roof and could see clearly. Although the combat effectiveness of the two battalions of the horse infantry of the Dongcheng Captain was very poor, when the group of Kou completely killed Lin Jian and fled, these horse infantry were still more than competent to arrest the remnants.
"Dad, you see, they are going to drive the remnants to Quyang Town...... Sun Wenwan saw that the timing of the horse infantry dispatch was just right at this time, maybe Zhang Yubo or Liu Xilin had been guarding the Donghua Gate Tower to watch the situation at the mouth of the river, maybe the mouth of the river sent someone to send a message to the past.
A large area of land south of the estuary is sandwiched between the east city wall of Jiangning and the Jinchuan River, and the south is Moling Lake, only a small section of the corner of Moling Lake and the southeast city wall can go to the south of the city, and the Dongcheng Captain horse infantry dispatched in time, just to block the road for the remnants to flee to the south of the city, if the Kou want to escape the siege before dawn, they can only escape from the Jiuqiao urn or jump into the river to Quyang Town, and the Qu family is in Quyang Town.
Gu Wuchen and Lin Tie them are going to "don't do one thing, two endlessly"!
