Chapter 201: Interception
In the drizzle, several boats were zigzag down the river and quickly downstream.
It was Yang Yi and his party, after getting the urgent report from Jinyiwei, Yang Yi did not delay, leaving Lu Miaozi and Ah Jiu to deal with the affairs of Pegasus Ranch, and Ning Zhong was also there, there were these people, as well as the ranch guards and the elite of the Sui army who stayed, even if they attacked a top master like Yutian, they could also resist one or two!
Several deacons of Pegasus Ranch, after Yang Yi's inspection, directly temporarily awarded a military guard: Feiyu Guard; Pick out the elite three thousand from the soldiers in the ranch at this time as the backbone, temporarily formed an army, General Feiyuwei is of course Shang Xiuxun, but the post of general was given to Wei Chi Jingde, and only to the former generals, rear generals, left generals, and right generals of the ranch; Arrange according to the strength of each family!
Of course, this is also an expedient measure, and when you free up your hands in the future, this Flying Feather Wei Yang Yi will naturally be separated! These people in the ranch are also talents, and Yang Yi plans to reuse them, but he can't give them a chance to form a gang! After Shang Xiuxun and the others made arrangements, the position of General Feiyuwei was, of course, Wei Chi Jingde's!
The full quota of the first guard army is 10,000, but now the guards under Yang Yi's jurisdiction have not yet been full! And this Flying Feather Guard is now plus the five hundred elites brought by Wei Chi Jingde, there are only three thousand and five, and the guard soldiers before the Pegasus Ranch are only recruited by the ranch, and most of them are not up to the standard of the Sui Army!
"Each of the generals has selected a hundred elites, and the same is true for General Wei Chi, follow me to Jingling!"
None of the real power figures in Pegasus Ranch remained, and they all followed Yang Yi to the Jingling!
Pegasus Ranch is located in Nanjun, one of the gateways to the land of Jingchu, Yang Yi set off with his generals to the east, and arrived at the Han River a day later, and everyone took a boat to the south!
After walking down the waterway for another day, I was already close to the tomb! This time they came to rescue Jingling, and there was no time to prepare, so Yang Yi and his entourage were all medium-sized boats, and there were only about seven or eight hundred people, and there were as many as ten ships!
Shang Xiuxun came to the stand of the leading ship at this time, Yang Yi was standing at the bow of the ship at this time, and Xu Xingzhi was also accompanied, at this time he was saying: "Your Highness, there are still five miles of waterway to reach Jingling, and you can already see the enemy here!" ”
Yang Yi looked at a hill a few miles away on the left bank, and at this time he could see that it was already covered with military camps, at least seventy or eighty.
Shang Xiuxun looked at this scene, but she was silent, the position was already different, if the Pegasus Ranch was still there, she would need to worry about such a thing! Thinking of this, she also felt a little relaxed inexplicably!
The sound of hooves suddenly sounded on the right bank, and seventy or eighty cavalrymen of the Jianghuai Army chased after them along the coast, pointing and cursing at the halberds of several ships, which made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
Shang Xiuxun's eyes moved from the boat to both sides of the river, and saw that the farmland was abandoned, the villages and towns were only rubble fragments, and the scorched forests were everywhere, a desolate scene, and his heart couldn't help but feel a strong sadness.
When he entered the straight river again, he suddenly appeared in front of the mausoleum.
The eye-catching scene shocked Shang Xiuxun and stopped breathing.
In the upper reaches of the river outside the city, there were more than thirty warships that were more than half the size of the ship she was on, and you must know that the ship she was on was already the largest of the ten, and the flags on the ships were fluttering, the spears were dazzling, and the momentum was compelling.
And on the shore, the camps are everywhere, and the southeast of Jingling is surrounded by water, and the lineup is at its peak, which is daunting.
Shang Xiuxun asked Jiaojiao: "Don't dock yet!" ”
At this time, Yang Yi didn't speak, and Xu Xingzhi shook his head at this time and said: "General Shang, if we anchor here, we, the hundreds of people, will only fall into a situation of hard fighting and annihilation. ”
Yang Yi glanced at the situation on the enemy ship, nodded at this time and said: "What Mr. Xu said is right, Xiuxun, our trip was unexpected, Du Fuwei didn't expect this palace to come, it seems to be dangerous, but in fact, it is the most feasible way, I have already arranged this situation!" ”
Just as a gust of wind blew, ten "small" boats, like galloping horses, glided across the water and rushed towards the enemy ship formation.
Shang Xiuxun saw that everyone on the enemy ship bent their bows and arrows, aiming at their own ships, but their ten ships were like fat sheep sent into the tiger's mouth, and she was anxious, but she couldn't give any orders at this time, so she hurriedly looked at the others, and several boats behind the bow of the ship, at this time, there were also people standing on the bow of the boat, seeing this scene, but they were all very calm! Shang Xiuxun didn't have time to ask, at this time!
"Abandon ship"!
Seeing that he was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, he heard Yang Yi's order, and before Shang Xiuxun could react, he was hugged by Yang Yi and jumped onto the boat behind!
When I turned around and looked again, I saw that the flames behind me were raging, and the entire bow of the ship I was in just now was covered with a curtain of fire, and a large puff of smoke was spitting out, and with the wind, it was heading towards the enemy ship.
The three leading ships all became fire ships at this time, and Shang Xiuxun only then understood why Yang Yi let all the masters take the three ships in front of him, originally thought it was for assault, but it turned out to be for the fire plan!
Water and fire are ruthless, and when the Three Kingdoms were in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army of the Southern Expedition was burned to ashes in Chibi, which was not far away!
The people on the three ships in front all jumped back to the seven ships behind at this time, and there was basically no damage!
The sound of war drums and the rain of arrows rained down on them.
It's just that the three ships in front have become three oversized torches at this time, and there is no one on them, and Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army has no results at all in this salvo!
Standing on the bow of a ship behind, watching the fire in front of him rise all over the sky, and the sails of the entire ship were burning, adding to the smoke of the fire, and it was rolling towards the enemy's formation, and the situation of Du Fuwei's sailors was already extremely chaotic at this time.
"Boom!"
In the thick smoke and flames, I don't know which of the fireboats hit the opponent's warship, making a loud noise, and at this time, the shooters of the Jianghuai army on the ship began to abandon the ship.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There were two more loud bangs, and the two fireships that followed also hit their targets at this time!
The seven boats led by Yang Yi were delayed and avoided the sea of fire on the river at this time!
"Raise your shield!"
At this time, there was still a small half of the Jianghuai army that had not fallen into chaos and had already entered their flanks, and Yang Yi gave an order at this time, and the soldiers of all ships could hear it, and they immediately raised their shields to guard against the cold arrows attacking from the side!
It's a pity that Du Fuwei's army is not strict, at this time, under the influence of the sea of fire on the river, only a few ships still remember their mission, and the rest are in a panic to escape, scattered bow and arrow shooting, Yang Yi has already rushed out of the enemy's ship formation with a few boats, and came to the wide river outside Jingling City.
"Bang!" At this time, it was too late to anchor and stop the ship, and several ships were directly hitting the shore!
Unless the martial arts are not rough, at this time, most of the fighters are on their backs and make a mess, and some people fall into the water! However, the elites who came on this trip were all selected, and after a little panic, order was quickly restored!
Those who fell off the boat are fine, after all, the boats are directly grounded, and sleeping on the shore is waist-deep!
Yang Yi took the lead and jumped off the boat, and everyone did not hesitate, and then they all jumped away from the boats and went to the shore.
Of course, there are interceptions on the shore at this time, although looking at the situation on the river, a little flustered, most of them are still waiting! Watching Yang Yi lead people to jump ship, they all shot the bow and arrow in their hands at this time!
The arrows were sprinkled towards Yang Yi like a torrential rain, due to the volley leap, Yang Yi was just starting, at this time, I saw Yang Yi draw his sword in the air, just a wave, it turned out to be a violent wind, and with her body forward, the wind flashed a trace of electric light!
The arrows that came were all shrouded in this wind, and most of them were blocked by a flash of lightning, and some of the arrows that passed through the wind were also blocked by the masters behind them!
A group of hundreds of troops landed ashore without losing a single person.
And the Jianghuai army was on fire on the river, and the navy roughly estimated that at least half of the ships were lost, and the Jianghuai army had no time to escape from the first few ships, at least more than a thousand people!
After being down-to-earth, the generals immediately marched towards the gate of Jingling City in a procession.
The drums of war sounded, and two groups of Jianghuai troops of about 300 men each rode out from the two camps outside the city and rushed towards them from both sides.
For a while, the sound of hooves shook the sky, and the murderous spirit soared into the air.
Before the enemy cavalry arrived, the powerful arrows broke through the air and hit.
These people are really bold and ignorant, hundreds of elite horsemen, if you foresee an ordinary infantry army, the number of people is not much different, you can take it with a little loss, but when you meet the real elite, it is not enough to see!
Time was in a hurry, although the sergeants of the ranch had not undergone much training, but in the past two days on the ship, Wei Chi Jingde had already dispersed the hundred Sui soldiers he had brought and divided them into various teams, which could be regarded as a little cooperation!
Although the cooperation is rusty, they are all elite, and the force value is extraordinary! Needless to say, on the ranch side, this trip is full of masters, there are several congenital-level masters, there are many acquired grandmasters, dozens of first-class masters, this group of Jianghuai troops directly rushed into the hundreds of infantry in front of them, and before they could wait for joy, they immediately couldn't move an inch, and then just shouted a few kills, and the whole army was wiped out!
Between the wharf and Jingling City, there is a vast open land of hundreds of zhang.
Du Fuwei set up two strong wooden villages on both sides of the wharf near the river, surrounded by wooden fence pits, arrow trenches and other defensive facilities, cutting off the water and land transportation of Jingling County.
The sergeant guarding the city on the wall of Jingling, seeing this line of reinforcements, first broke through the enemy's ship formation with a fire attack, and then successfully landed on the shore, and as soon as the battle was engaged, he destroyed hundreds of the enemy's cavalry.
However, although everyone bent their bows and arrows and drew their bows and was ready to fire, because the battle was far away from the shooting range, they could only cheer them up with shouts, and lit a beacon fire to notify Fang Zetao of the Shuaifu to rush to preside over the overall situation.
After seizing the war horse, most of the soldiers had horses at this time, and they all galloped towards Jingling City immediately!
Yang Yi didn't make much of a move at this time, when she got off the boat just now, after blocking the thousands of bows and arrows fired at once, with her skill realm, she was also a little out of strength, but it only took a while to recover!
Yang Yizheng is taking a group of masters to postpone! The leader was replaced by Shang Xiuxun!
The defender of the city was Qian Yun, the general under Fang Zetao, who naturally knew Shang Xiuxun, and at this time he had ordered someone to lower the drawbridge and let Shang Xiuxun and others cross the moat into the city.
At this time, everyone saw that they could enter the city safely, and the morale of the defenders of Jingling County was greatly boosted, and everyone shouted and cheered, and the sound shook inside and outside the city, which made people's blood boil.
After Shang Xiuxun rode into the city, he immediately climbed the wall, and saw that Yang Yi and the others who were behind were safe and sound at this time, and the Jianghuai army seemed to have been frightened, so they did not send cavalry to attack at this time.
Finally arrived at Jingling.
Everyone stood at the head of the city, condescendingly looking at the wooden village of the Jianghuai army, some people were relieved, most of them did not have such a dangerous opportunity, this trip, as long as there was a walk to step on the wrong step, then most of them could not enter the city.
There is still a black smoke and flames on the river, even denser and more fierce than just now, you can see the Jianghuai Army's water village in the panic, and the Jianghuai Army's water army that is still fluttering on the river.
Qian Yun didn't seem to know Yang Yi's identity at this time, he only thought that she was a master invited by Shang Xiuxun, and he just said respectfully to Shang Xiuxun: "I really didn't expect that the owner of the farm suddenly came, and joined forces with the ranch to exterminate the four big Kou that day, we dominated the villa with a lot of results, and the owner of the village also wanted to go to the ranch to reminisce about the past, but because the Jianghuai army violated the territory, he was forced to dispel this intention." ”
Shang Xiuxun and the others looked at each other when they heard it, dominating the villa?
She didn't know that Fang Zetao had secretly raised the anti-flag at this time!
Shang Xiuxun frowned and said, "What's going on with Duju Mountain Villa?" Can General Qian explain? ”
Qian Yun said indifferently at this time: "My lord was originally a Sui general, and since the faint monarch moved south to the world and the chaos in the world, he occupied Jingling, but my lord is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to be the king like others, so he established a monopoly villa, on the one hand, to prevent thieves, and on the other hand, he is waiting for the Ming lord to appear, so as to lead me and others to return to his command, so that Jingling will be protected from the disaster of war." ”
If you do it, you will do it, and there are so many words!
Shang Xiuxun didn't care about these anymore, she said lightly at this time: "Where is Master Fang?" ”
Qian Yun said: "The last general has sent someone to inform the owner of the village, it's time to come soon." ”
At this time, a person next to him interjected and said, "Let's go to visit the owner of Fang Zhuang immediately, and ask Brother Qian to send someone to lead the way." ”
Looking at the person who spoke, he was tall and fierce, and he knew that he was a fierce general at a glance! Qian Yun clenched his fists a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't consulted the daimyo yet." ”
The man lowered his voice and said, "A certain captain Chi Jingde." ”
Qian Yun's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he took two steps back, pulled out his saber and shouted, "Are you Wei Chigong?" ”
Shang Xiuxun and the others were all stunned, I don't know why he reacted so much!
Among the more than a dozen generals beside Qian Yun, half of them drew their weapons with him, while the other half hesitated.
The other defenders were confused by this situation, and did not know what to do.
A deafening laugh came from the mouth of Wei Chi Jingde, and immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
Wei Chigong laughed loudly at this time: "I didn't expect my Wei Chigong's reputation to be so big, and it can still scare people!" Your Highness forgives your sins, and a certain general ......"
Qian Yun's already ugly face turned red and white, his eyes flashed sharply, and he intercepted his words and shouted: "You are a thief......
He was about to insult him, but at this time, he suddenly noticed the sentence that Wei Chigong hadn't finished, looked at Yang Yi in surprise, and pointed at her: "You...... You ......"
When Qian Yun was stuttering, a veteran about sixty years old walked out of the people behind him at this time, and said solemnly: "But Her Royal Highness the princess in person?" ”
Yang Yi looked at this scene, and said calmly at this time: "It's the main palace!" ”
Since Qian Yunqi, Fang Zetao and other generals behind him were all shocked when they saw that it was really Yang Yi in person!
Wei Chigong shouted at this time: "If it's a Sui person, why don't you kneel down and see!" ”
Qian Yun left and right people, and at this time, under Wei Chigong's shout, most of them immediately knelt on the ground.
"Meet Your Highness!"
It's just that Qian Yun still pointed at Yang Yi and said: "The orthodoxy in the world is still there, how can you ...... it." ”
The veteran beside him suddenly got up at this time, took a step forward, and shouted to him: "Shut up! ”
Qian Yun was furious when he heard this: "Feng Ge, you ...... You're doing the opposite...... The owner treats you well! ”
