Chapter 837: The Bamboo Hustle Returns to the Huannu Lotus moves the fishing boat
There is no saddest urging, only more tragic urging, if Zhang Xianzhong is on the Yangtze River, he was raided by the imperial sailors and the whole army was annihilated, it is because on the Yangtze River, in the face of the rocket cannon of the imperial sailors, there is no power to fight back, and now Ma Shiying is even more tragic, he can fight back, and even if Cha Xuan leads two thousand elites to help, the army of the imperial court is still less than one-third of the Fengyang army, even so, Ma Shiying still has no power to fight back!
Zhao Zhenghang was in the south, Cha Bolt was in the north, the abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, the Fengyang army collapsed directly, the dense rifle fire made the Fengyang army suffer heavy casualties, and the soldiers were frightened, in this case, the advantage of troops had no effect at all, the spears and bows and arrows also lost their effectiveness, and 50,000 soldiers scattered and fled.
Under the protection of Meng Santing and Tan Fang, Ma Shiying retreated towards the back, and behind him was Duan Xuan's hundreds of elite horsemen who were only pursuing, with spears in hand, Duan Xuan was majestic, the tips of the guns were everywhere, screaming again and again, Duan Xuan chased out more than ten miles in one breath, Ma Shiying couldn't get rid of Duan Xuan's pursuit, and the soldiers around him fell under the muskets of the elite cavalry, and the troops were getting smaller and smaller.
Ma Shiying now has the intention of committing suicide, the army of 50,000 has collapsed in just one day, shame, it's really embarrassing!
The cavalry is getting closer and closer, Meng Santing and Tan Fang's faces are like earth, there are only about a thousand people around them, and they can't stop the cavalry of other people, just when everyone is crying out and falling into despair, a cavalry in the distance kills from behind, and directly stops Duan Xuan's pursuit!
"My lord, it's Qian Hai, it's Lord Qian Hai who has arrived! We are saved! ”
Meng Santing shouted urgently.
Yes, it was a Qian Hai who was broken just now, and now there are more than 1,000 cavalry under Qian Hai's hands, and the remaining cavalry are all killed and wounded under the attack of the Ming army.
Fortunately, he finally caught up with Ma Shiying from behind and blocked Duan Xuan's pursuit.
"Quick, retreat immediately, the whole army will immediately retreat to the north! Come on! ”
Ma Shiying didn't dare to stay at all, the defeat was like a mountain, now he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and he doesn't dare to fight, not to mention, around him, but there are only 1,800 people, and he is not the opponent of the imperial army, so let's save my life first!
Ma Shiying took Meng Santing and Tan Fang all the way to run wildly, escaped more than 20 miles to the north, and came to the area of Kongjiawan, which is the confluence of the Chu River and the Xiangyang River, where the two rivers meet, forming a huge river, just like a huge lake, the mouth of the river is full of lotus flowers, and the entire river is shrouded, but there are no boats, and if you can't cross the river quickly, once the Ming army catches up, then everyone will be the turtle in the urn.
Ma Shiying stomped his feet in a hurry, he thought that he would take Nanjing City, it was not a problem at all, there were his own 50,000 troops, and then Zhang Xianzhong's 50,000 troops, 100,000 troops, it was almost effortless to take Nanjing City, but there was no way back, all the troops were brought to Nanjing City, and now they came to Kongjia Bay, there are no ships, unless they have wings, otherwise, it is impossible to cross the Chu River!
"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, fish play lotus leaves between ......"
Just when Ma Shiying and the others were anxious and anxious, and complained bitterly, bursts of Qingyue's singing came from the river in Kongjiawan......
What a crisp singing voice!
Ma Shiying and others looked towards the river, directly between the lotus leaves, there were boats, a group of peasant girls holding a penny and singing songs were wandering on the lake, now it is the time of the sunset, under the afterglow, it seems so quiet, peaceful, all of a sudden the people's hearts have been purified......
The so-called bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat, and the artistic conception in Wang Majie's poem is like this......
Ma Shiying's eyes were a little dull, originally Ma Shiying was born in the two lists, and he was quite famous, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed......
However, Ma Shiying understands that Meng Santing and Tan Fang are rough people, where can they manage so much?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Boat, it's a boat, we're saved, we're saved! Boathouse, boathouse! ”
Meng Santing shouted.
Ma Shiying suddenly woke up, yes, it's important to escape, now is not the time for me to recite poems, hurry up and run! Above the river, more than a dozen fishing boats of the peasant family appeared at once, although they were not very big, but they could sit five or six people, but these were several fishing boats, and they could always spend their henchmen together!
Hearing the call from the shore, the boats on the river slid quickly towards the shore, and the lotus floated, and the boats were already close to the riverbank.
One of the women shouted, "My lords, are you going to cross the river?" ”
Meng Santing shouted: "Yes, we want to cross the river, we are all adults of Fengyang, send us across the river immediately, and your reward is indispensable!" ”
"Poof......
The woman on the bow of the boat smiled, "Since the reward of the slaves is indispensable, this price has been agreed in advance, ten taels of silver for a person, cross the river, or not?" ”
I'll go......
When Meng Santing heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, ten taels of silver for a person, my Nima's, not to mention the small Chuhe, even if I went to the sea for a lap, it wouldn't cost so much silver! These mountain village girls really dare to open their mouths......
"Are you robbing money, how can this be reasonable, this official ......"
"Oops, what? Too expensive? We are not ferrymen, we are all fisherwomen from the nearby Zhuangzi, who knows if you are good people and bad people? I don't want to sit down, we don't want to send you off, sisters, let's go......"
Obviously, the woman in front of her was the leader of them, and when she said a word, many boats would want to swing in the middle of the river.
"Alright, alright! Meng Santing, at this time, you still care about ten taels and twenty taels of silver, give them them, as long as they can cross the Chuhe River safely, don't say ten taels for one person, twenty taels for one person, one hundred taels, we also give it! ”
Ma Shiying on the side was anxious and shouted impatiently.
"Yes, sir!"
Meng Santing agreed, and hurriedly shouted to hit the fisherwoman to dock, more than a dozen small boats docked on the shore one after another, there are still seven or eight hundred people on the shore now, how can they fit it, they can only transport the people with their heads and brains to the other shore first, and then come back to pick up these soldiers, more than a dozen small boats loaded with hundreds of people, and sailed into the distance.
Meng Santing accompanied Ma Shiying to sit on the boat and went straight to the opposite bank.
It's just that less than two miles away, the boat was crossed and stopped in the middle of the river!
