The brigade is open and the banner is swaying, and its momentum is no less than that of an army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
When passing through the three rivers to divide the rudder, three or four hundred people in the rudder were collected, so that the team expanded to about two thousand.
That night, the Jianghe Gang arrived in Wuqing.
Qin Shuhuai, Chen Changting, Wei Huaizong, Lin Youming, the master of the White Tiger Hall, and Lin Tianyuan, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall, entered the Wuqing rudder of the Giant Whale Gang and conspired with the high-level of the Giant Whale Gang for two hours.
Just after midnight, more than 2,300 members of the Giant Whale Gang Wuqing quietly withdrew from Wuqing and went to Jinmen under the cover of night.
According to the plan, all the wharves on the north bank of the Wuqing line were handed over to the Jianghe Gang, and the wharves on the south bank were also attacked by the Jianghe Gang. The Giant Whale Gang Wuqing Branch Rudder went all out to help the Jinmen Branch Rudder, and combined the power of the two rudders to attack the Cao Bang Wharf on the south bank of the Jinmen Canal.
Originally, the Giant Whale Gang and the Cao Gang were evenly matched, but now due to the addition of the Jianghe Gang, the balance of strength has been completely tilted.
The next step is a quick fix!
There are five large wharves on the south bank of the Wuqing line of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, including three wharves of Heziwan, Tianshui and Wuguishan, which are located in the upper, middle and lower three positions.
As long as these three docks are captured, the strength of the remaining small docks will not be enough.
The Cao Gang had a total of about 2,500 troops in Wuqing, and since they did not know the specific deployment, the Jianghe Gang could only judge that the other party had at least six or seven hundred troops to defend the three large docks and the small and medium-sized docks near them.
Therefore, it must be fast, attack with superior forces, and break through one by one before the opponent gathers.
After discussion, the Jianghe Gang decided that Lin Tianyuan would lead more than 500 people from the Law Enforcement Hall to attack Wugui Mountain, Wei Zonghuai would lead more than 500 people from the White Tiger Hall to attack Tianshui, Qin Shuhuai would lead the Qinglong Hall to attack Heziwan, and Chen Changting would take 3 or 400 people transferred from the Sanhe Rudder to sit in the rear and be ready to support at any time.
In addition, each hall was equipped with thirty repeaters. The repeaters were fired in three bursts, and each repeater carried thirty bolts.
Wei Zonghuai and Lin Tianyuan both mobilized large boats and prepared to forcibly cross the river.
After analyzing the terrain, Qin Shuhuai found that five or six miles away from Heziwan Wharf, there was a stone bridge spanning both sides of the canal. The stone bridge is more than 100 meters long and more than 10 meters high, which is a typical canal arch bridge of the Ming Dynasty, and the big ships with seven or eight meters high mast can easily pass underneath.
Naturally, it was easier to cross the river by boat than by boat, so he immediately pulled the team to the north bank of the stone bridge.
After a night of repairs, when the sky was bright, the Jianghe Gang's attack in Wuqing officially began.
Qin Shuhuai first asked Pi Gou to take a hundred brothers with the name of Jiazi to cross the stone bridge and quickly occupy the opposite bank, so that the follow-up troops could pass quickly.
The leather dog took a hundred of his men to quickly cross the stone bridge, and when he was about to reach the opposite bank, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air in the air, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, so he immediately shouted at his subordinates, "Get down!"
Dense arrows rained down, and some of the gangsters who didn't have time to lie down were suddenly turned into live targets and fell to the ground one after another.
A moment later, there was another volley, this time the opposing archers adjusted the distance, and the arrows formed a distinct parabola, and the landing point was delicately calculated, at least half of which landed in the area where the Jiazi Fan gang was lying down.
Jiazifan was also prepared to deal with bows and arrows, and brought a total of ten large shields, but it was still too few, and seven or eight brothers were hit by arrows.
The skin dog's face shook, judging from the density of arrows fired in a salvo, he was afraid that there were about fifty archers on the other side. There are so many archers alone, and the total defensive strength will probably not be less than two hundred. It seems that the Cao Gang has been prepared and sent heavy troops to defend on the other side of this stone bridge.
Presumably, the opposite side has already gone to ask for reinforcements, and if it can't be taken immediately, it will be pressed on the bridge as soon as the other party's reinforcements arrive. The bridge is too narrow, and the formation of his subordinates cannot be expanded, and he will definitely suffer a loss in the fight.
The Cao Gang carried out another seven or eight rounds of salvos, and after the first word, they were prepared, and those who could hide were hiding behind the big shield, and they couldn't hide as much as possible to gather their bodies together, and everyone was scattered, so there were only eight or nine casualties.
Seeing that the rain of arrows had stopped, the dog ordered his men to move slowly with a large shield.
Walking to the bridge, a large group of Cao Gang people dressed in black surged up violently, blocking the position of the lower bridge, and firmly blocking the leather dog and his subordinates on the bridge.
The two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. The white sword light, the cold sword shadow, the hysterical screams were mixed with heart-rending wails, the blood and the shaking figures were intertwined, and even the river fog seemed to be dyed red.
The Cao Gang spread out in a fan shape and firmly occupied the bridge, while the Jiazifan side was blocked on the bridge, the back could not come up, and the front was outnumbered, and it was very passive for a while.
The leather dog rushed forward with a long sword in his hand, and now he was a first-class member of the foundation building realm, and under the urging of the powerful Yi Jin Jing True Qi, the life-killing soul chasing sword was overflowing, frantically harvesting human heads, almost opening a gap almost by himself.
But at this moment, a sturdy warrior with a double hook of the messenger rushed up and blocked the leather dog.
"Boy, good means, let me always come and meet you!"
After saying that, Chang Dahuan raised his left hand, and the curved hook knife in his hand cut a white line, and came straight to the neck of the leather dog. The leather dog immediately leaned over, and just dodged the knife, but saw the curved hook knife in the opponent's right hand attacking his waist, and he immediately used the sword to make a gear. The swords intersected, and a burst of sparks were smashed, and the long sword in the leather dog's hand vibrated and beeped.
The leather dog smiled coldly, it seems that he has encountered the Xuantong Realm. The meat on his face twitched again, and the killing intent in his eyes suddenly exploded.
He Qin Shuhuai can build a foundation realm and kill the Xuantong realm, and my skin dog is not left behind by anyone!
I'm better than him! I'll be better than him one day!
The long sword suddenly rose up, drawing a cold light from the bottom to the top, forcing Chang Dahuan to dodge sideways. The leather dog turned his wrist again, and the long sword slashed at Chang Dahuan's waist with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, the corners of Chang Dahuan's mouth rose slightly, the double hooks were crossed, and the long sword was hooked with a sound, and when he was about to fight back, he was surprised to see the long sword suddenly flip, and a gap appeared in the double hooks, and he retreated like a spiritual snake.
Chang Dahuan was a little surprised, but immediately unfolded his double knives again, staggered like a shadow, and attacked the head, chest, and abdomen of the leather dog at a dazzling speed. The double knife is a yin and yang double hook, as the name suggests, one yin and one yang, one real and one virtual, and the virtual and the real are mixed, making it difficult to distinguish which knife is a feint attack and which knife is a real cut.
The leather dog retreated step by step, but behind him it was crowded, and there were Brother Jiafan who were blocked on the bridge everywhere, and he couldn't help but pull his hands and feet, and soon received a knife in his arm, and when the other party returned the knife, he hooked a piece of meat with the hook on the head of the knife.
On the north bank of the stone bridge, Lai San'er stared at the other end of the bridge anxiously, through the thin river mist, looking at the figure of Jiazi constantly shaking and falling, he couldn't hold back anymore, and ran to Qin Shuhuai to ask for reinforcements.
Qin Shuhuai said with a gloomy face, "Jiazifan is where the elite of my hall is, if I can't even attack a bridge, what is the use of asking him to hide his dog?"
