Chapter 13: The Attack on Xisha Island

Lin Tie them into the Yangtze River waterway, go with the wind, Xisha Island to the estuary of the sandbar blocked, after night only to see the direction of Xisha Island fire anomalous, Lin Tie made the boat stick to the north shore, let people go ashore to pull the fiber, speed up the speed.

I couldn't sleep all night, in the early morning, Xisha Island was already in front of me, and several pillars of black smoke in the direction of Guanyin Beach rushed straight to the clouds, Lin Tie grabbed the female wall guard at the bow of the boat, beat the guard board fiercely, and scolded hatefully: "These soldiers are used to feed the dogs, and his mother knows how to bark a few times!" ”

The military mountain water village is nearby, and the elite of a battalion of Ninghai Town is stationed in it, sitting and watching the raid on Guanyin Beach, how can Lin Tie not hate?

Ao Canghai didn't say anything, his face was gloomy, and he just signaled the soldiers and the homeless people to prepare for landing and fighting.

Lin Jian walked down from the prison cell of the bottom boat, motioned for the guards to leave, kicked the door open, glared at Du Rong viciously and asked, "Apart from you, what other principal is the second son of the luxury family in Pingjiang Mansion?" ”

Du Rong locked the iron shackles on his hands and feet, a little uncomfortable with the strong light of the sudden opening of the hatch, raised his hand to cover his forehead, squinted at the angry Lin Tie, and asked suspiciously: "Qin Zitan sent people to attack Xisha Island?" The voice was rather cold.

"Qin Zitan!" Lin Jian chewed on the name in his mouth, only to know that Du Rong had been robbed at the mouth of Meixi Lake, but another big fish had been released.

It has only been two days since they went to sea from Jiahang Mansion, and it is impossible for the main force of the Donghai Kou to complete the battle in such a short period of time and withdraw from Taihu Lake to attack Xisha Island, and the attack on Xisha Island may only be for the luxury family - to be precise, it is for the group of Taihu pirates who gathered in the Xishan Island Village of Taihu Lake for the second son of the luxury family.

There are nearly 1,000 Taihu Lake pirates who gathered on Xishan Island in Taihu Lake, all of whom are a mixed rabble, and their actual combat effectiveness is not strong, but when the main force of the Donghai Kou pursued the sailors of Ninghai Town to seek a battle and attacked the prefectures and counties along the Taihu Lake, the sailors of Ninghai Town passively avoided the battle, the local garrisons and villagers were exhausted, and Lin Tie went to sea to avoid the war in Taihu Lake, and the detour was beyond the reach of Lin Tie, Qin Zitan led the Taihu pirates to attack the empty Xisha Island.

******************

Lin Jian couldn't wait for the small boat to pick him up, and after the big boat approached the shore, he jumped off the boat and waded through the shallow water that was not up to his chest to Mount Guanyin Beach.

After being plundered, the Guanyintan disaster relief camp can be set on fire has become ruins, has been built with chest-high enclosure of the outer wall collapsed in many places, to burn black, from Guanyintan upwards, the left broken halberd and broken blade arrows are all visible, coagulated dark red blood stains are shocking.

Lin Mengde had abrasions and blood scars on half of his face, his left arm was hung with a white cloth around his neck, Hu Zhiyong's eyebrows were burned off half of it, and he was not seriously injured, and he and Zhao Qingshan stood on the half-length stone dam to meet Lin Tie.

Lin Mengde sighed: "Go and see Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu hasn't woken up since yesterday, whether he can survive it depends on today......"

Lin Lian's chest was like being hit hard, his eyes turned black for a while, he took his waist knife to hold the stone dam ground, forced his composure, and asked Lin Mengde: "What are the casualties of the others?" ”

"The lake thieves attacked at noon yesterday, and about 1,000 people forcibly landed from Guanyin Beach," Lin Mengde looked at the tragic situation behind him and said sadly, "At that time, there were still 5,000 people who could not evacuate in time. Fortunately, Zhao Hu and Zhao Qingshan came to help in time last night, and the lake thieves retreated, but less than half of them could still stand up with knives and spears in the wall, and there were already ninety-four people who were confirmed to be hopeless to be saved, and fifty or sixty people were seriously injured. Mr. Fu had numerous gunshot wounds and arrow wounds, and his left arm was cut off at elbow. Mr. Wu Yanqing came with the boat, and the wound medicine was also used sufficiently, but Mr. Fu had not woken up by this time. We were surrounded by walls, the lake thieves also divided some men and horses to attack the island, after the Guanyin Beach was lifted, Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu led the crowd to pursue, at this time I did not know the casualties in several other places on the island. ”

"How many people have you brought here, and what to do with the estuary?" Lin Jian asked Zhao Qingshan.

"After receiving the report that there was a threat of bandits on Xisha Island, the Seventh Lady asked me to lead Xiang Yong and Zhao Hu to lead a total of 200 soldiers to come by boat," Zhao Qingshan replied, "Four days ago, Lord Gu arrived in Jiangning with the official document of the envoy, and Lord Gu was ...... in Jiangning at this time."

With Gu Wuchen in Jiangning, the estuary is naturally worry-free, and Li Zhuo will not allow a large group of lake thieves to gather into Jiangning; Lin Jian took a deep breath and was about to visit Fu Qinghe temporarily, when six warships sailed out of the Junshan Water Village and came over here.

Lin Jian looked at the past coldly, and resolutely ordered: "Send an arrow warning and refuse to land on the island; When you are ready to face the battle, the warships of the military landscape and the village dare to approach the beach within a stone's throw of the enemy, that is, they will be invaded by the enemy, and they will be killed! ”

"Lord Lin, don't be reckless!" Li Shuyi was shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded, "The officers and soldiers of the Junshan Shan Zhai are under the jurisdiction of Ninghai Town, and Xisha Island is finally under the jurisdiction of the Junshan Shan Zhai River, so there is really no excuse to prevent them from landing on the island!" ”

Although it is really hateful to sit and watch the attack on Xisha Island and stand by and watch, Lin Jian refused to allow the officers and soldiers of Ninghai Town to land on the island at this time, and even did not hesitate to meet each other.

"What recklessness, the lake thieves attacked the island, the military mountain and water village are close at hand, stand by and watch, I don't know that it is not in collusion with the lake thieves? What is the recklessness of denying him landing? Lin Jian said coldly, not listening to Li Shuyi's dissuasion, and instructed Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, Ning Zechen and others to lead the crowd to re-board the "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" to prepare for battle!

Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, Ning Zechen and others have a grudge against the officers and soldiers of the military Shanshui Village who stand by and watch, even if Lin Jian orders them to take the initiative to meet the military Shanzhai warships that are rushing to the island, they will either be from bandits, or from defecting military generals, or from homeless people, where will they take into account the consequences of refusing to allow officers and soldiers to land on the island? It's a big deal to raise the flag and rebel.

Lin Mengde wanted to persuade Lin Tie, and he gave up thinking about it, the officers and soldiers of the Junshan Shan Zhai were indeed hateful, and the officers and soldiers of the Junshan Shan Zhai were all Xiao Taoyuan's cronies, and they might be the fierce enemies of Xisha Island in the future, and if there was an excuse not to use at this time, it would be even more difficult to prevent them from landing on Xisha Island in the future.

Li Shuyi saw that Lin Tie insisted on going his own way and did not listen to dissuasion, and Lin Tie's subordinates also held a grudge against the officers and soldiers of the Junshan Shui Village and would not dissuade Lin Tie, so he glanced back at the six military Shanzhai warships that sailed away, and no longer persuaded anything, but he did not say that he wanted to stay out of the matter, and followed Lin Tie to the disaster relief camp that was demolished.

Most of the shacks and tents that had been built before were burned down, and although the outer wall of the newly built fortnight-height enclosure had collapsed several times, the whole was not destroyed, so that many arrows were inserted deep into the masonry.

It was this fortified wall that was built in time to reach the height of the chest, so that the more than 600 soldiers and people stationed at Guanyin Beach were saved from the doom of being surrounded and annihilated.

The makeshift camp tents were all within the fence, Wu Yanqing and the doctors and apprentices were treating the injured Wu Wei and Minyong, and when they saw Lin Jian coming over, they just shook their heads with a slight sigh, and their subordinates did not stop to delay the time to say hello to Lin Lian.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu," Lin Jian squatted down to inspect the wounds of the injured that Wu Yanqing was treating, and exchanged a word of greeting with Wu Yanqing, and couldn't help the indignation in his heart, stood up and looked around, and said, "A month ago, this island was hit by a typhoon, and the tide returned to drown more than 20,000 people, which can still be said to be a natural disaster; Today is full of devastation, how can it be pushed on the head of the natural disaster? Remember, those who eat the people's food cannot protect the people's livelihood and die in civil affairs, they are thieves for the people! ”

Since ancient times, there is only the saying of "eating the king's lu and worrying about the king" between the clear streams, and Lin Jian has the idea of "eating the people's food and the people's thieves", so it is no wonder that the Qingliu is not tolerated. Li Shuyi couldn't hear it when he heard it, and he really couldn't justify anything for the military mountain village and Chongzhou County, and even felt ashamed that he was also a member of the Yamen of Chongzhou County.

Lin Jian endured the pain and first saw the other injured before entering the camp tent to see Fu Qinghe, who had lost blood from his broken arm and fell into a coma, and there was a medical apprentice in the camp to take care of him.

Fu Qinghe's face was like gold, there was no blood, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the white whiskers on his chin were like dead grass in winter, without much vitality, which made people worry about it, and his left arm was cut off at the elbow, and the broken arm was put aside.

Lin Tie his hand on the broken arm, he couldn't help but shed tears, he was a man in two lives, the first time they met was Fu Qinghe, Su Mei, Xiaoman, he regarded Fu Qinghe as a master and a father, although he and Fu Qinghe are also less together and more separated, the depth of the feelings is beyond the reach of others, looking at Fu Qinghe, who does not know life and death, thinking that he should be Li Zhuo, Chen Zhihu first-class characters, but his life is bumpy, lying in this tent life and death do not know, but just an unknown role in the rivers and lakes.

"Lao Gao said a few words before he fell into a coma, he said that if he died this time, there would be no worries with you." Wu Qi lifted the curtain and walked in.

Wu Qi's injury was not light, he was not worried about the situation around Guanyin Beach, he was afraid that the spies would get in, he insisted on being in charge of the sentry, and only returned to the camp when he knew that Lin Lian was back, the wound on his shoulder was stretched open and was oozing blood, Wu Yanqing walked in and lost his temper at Wu Qi: "You don't want to die, you walk around and lose blood and die, and the old man's name is also bad for you!" ”

"With me here, it's important for the crow master to treat his injuries first." Lin Tie turned around and sat upright beside Fu Qinghe, and asked Wu Qi and Wu Yanqing to go and re-bandage the wound first.

Wu Qi, Lin Mengde and others saw the tears on Lin Lian's face clearly, and they didn't know what to say, in their opinion, Lin Lian's heart was as strong as a rock, although he was young, but he was a first-class person.

Lin Mengde thought that the Baisha County robbery had transformed Lin Lian like two people, and Fu Qinghe had the deepest relationship with him at that time, and in addition, it was probably Su Mei and Xiaoman's two daughters, thinking that Su Mei was probably the key point in Lin Lian's heart, so he thought that Lin Lian's tears today must not be leaked out, so as not to be blackmailed by others with Su Mei.
