Chapter 82: Poyang Fishing Comes to Instigate (Continued)
In the vast ocean, there were drums everywhere. Liang soldiers beat drums and rowed boats and attacked everywhere, but their enemies had no power to resist, and those who had not drowned were just surviving.
A mound, a place that is large in the millstone, was crowded with people. Song Zixian looked at these terrified survivors and decided to continue to escape.
He and his subordinates fled on horseback, but the water was approaching the horse's chin and walked in the water, almost staggering.
Because his body was wet and the water and the wind were even colder, he shivered so cold that his nose was itchy. He sneezed several times in succession and was already catching a cold.
However, my heart was even colder.
There was water everywhere, there were shouts, calls for help, and drum beats everywhere.
The drum sound came from the clutch ships, which were Qu Aliang's army attacking on a boat. The clutch advanced rapidly on the water, like a pack of wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, gnawing on the prey unscrupulously.
Many soldiers who were floating on the water were approached by Liang's ships. As long as they dared to resist, they would knock them out with a stick, even be shot to death by bows and arrows, and be stabbed to death by spears.
Song Zixian's subordinates are all cavalrymen, and basically few of them can do water. In the sudden flood in the early morning, there were already heavy casualties. Many people were missing. Perhaps they were swept away by the flood or drowned.
When Song Zixian thought of so many cavalrymen being broken into the flood, he felt like a knife. He had been defeated for many years, but he had never encountered a water attack.
In the face of the flood, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they are useless. In just a moment, they disappear into the water, and the living people are gone.
But Song Zixian didn't have time to sigh because he couldn't protect himself now. Although he was riding on a horse, the water was close to his chest, which made him frightened.
People who don’t know how to water will sink at any time in a vast ocean, and they will only have fear in their hearts.
He grabbed the reins tightly, for fear that he would fall into the water, and soaked his bow and arrow in the water, it was no longer useful, and it was very difficult for him to walk on the mount.
The water was very turbid and I couldn't see clearly what was going on on the ground. Of course, Song Zixian was in a hurry to escape, but the horse staggered and easily missed the air.
"Pu", "Ah! Ah! Help!"
A shout came from beside him, but a follower lost his hooves, his mount fell into the water, and the man also sank, then he tried his best to come out and struggled with his arms.
Someone approached the left and wanted to save his companion, but the horse also stumbled, and the man and horse sank into the water.
Both of these people didn't understand the nature of water. After struggling for a moment, they disappeared from the water. The others became more and more frightened when they saw this, but they did not dare to force the mount to leave quickly.
They walked slowly, but Liang's ships came quickly. Seeing several ships coming around, Song Zixian was desperate, pulled out his sword, waved helplessly, and shouted.
He can shoot from side to side, use horse spear, and dance swords and shields. He has martial arts. A casual person cannot get close to him, but he is trapped in the water, like a lamb, and has no ability to fight back.
When the Liang soldiers approached the ship saw these horses, they knew they were big fish and struggled to death. They swung their spears and knocked them out like knocking eggs.
Then he surrounded him and easily grabbed him onto the boat and tied him tightly.
And the war horses that neigh in the water and struggle are also treasures, and they cannot be wasted. If they can be saved, they can be saved.
The soldiers who were prepared long ago used ropes to pass the bamboo to the boat through the abdomen of the war horses, and supported them with two bundles of "floors" to ensure that their heads were exposed to the water and their bodies floated up.
There were busy scenes everywhere in the vast ocean. The Liang army soldiers turned into fishermen and salvaged various fishing catches in the water.
Some of the rebel soldiers were holding floating objects, floating in the water, while others climbed on trees and struggled.
In order to survive, to have a "place" on the canopy, countless people even pushed each other and fisted and fisted each other. Liang soldiers looked at the canopy filled with people and smiled.
Most of the rebel soldiers who were lucky enough to reveal themselves to the water were honestly caught by Liang soldiers in order to be saved. A few people who were determined to seize the ship were shot to death and stabbed to death without any means.
There were also a large number of cloth, tents and other objects floating on the water, which were fished up by Liang soldiers. Everyone was very busy. Even the boatmen and fishermen who were rowing to help the battle were smiling when they saw this lively scene.
They helped the official army with war, and the official army had already given them money and silk in advance as compensation. Now they were catching people, catching goods, and some small items on the water. They took them for themselves, and the soldiers would not care about it.
Of course, you can't miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. The news that followed made everyone excited: the traitor Hou Jing is in the army! Those who capture Hou Jing alive will be rich!
Even if you only have a corpse or a head, you will be rich!
This news made the Liang army soldiers and the people who helped fight red eyes. They began to interrogate the prisoners, and searched the water more carefully, and even began to pray to the Buddha, begging the Buddha to bless him and capture Hou Jing.
A dozen soldiers climbed on a tree canopy, they couldn't water, and were shaking on the surrounded tree canopy.
Because my whole body was soaked, I was blown by the bitter north wind and I couldn't help but sneeze, shaking like a sieve.
He had no idea of escaping from his life, and he just wanted to be captured by the Liang army as soon as possible, and at least he could step on the solid ground and roast the fire.
Seeing many ships surrounding them, the soldiers threw down any items they would think were weapons, waiting for the other party to catch people.
Among the soldiers, Hou Jing, dressed in green clothes, looked at the Liang army ships surrounding him, and felt desperate.
The Liang army attacked the waters and had no need to hide in the wilderness. Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, he changed into a small pawn's clothes and fled on horseback.
But he couldn't escape because the horse fell into the water. He was swept away by the water, and he didn't know life or death.
Hou Jing was not watery and almost drowned. Fortunately, he was caught by the tree canopy and temporarily saved his life.
The soldiers who climbed up one after another didn't recognize him, so they were not worried about being recognized now.
However, once the Liang army was transported to Qu'a and met other prisoners, it would be sooner or later to be recognized. At that time, they would only be insulted by the Liang army general and then taken to Jiankang, and the end was tragic.
Thinking of this, Hou Jing was a little dazed. He had fought a war for his whole life, but he didn't expect that he would end his life in this way.
Liang Jun's ship was approaching and was about to start arresting people. Hou Jing suddenly felt calm, anxious, regretful, despair, and unwilling to wait for it, all of them disappeared.
He thought of Murong Shaozong, a famous general who taught him military tactics.
When he heard the news, he learned that Murong Shaozong fell into the water and died while besieging Yingchuan. He couldn't believe it was true.
This is the way to die for a generation of famous generals.
So funny.
But now, I was attacked by the enemy overnight and wiped out the entire army. What confidence do I have to laugh at Murong Shaozong?
Murong Shaozong's mistake should have been an accident, but he was easily defeated.
In front of him, Murong Shaozong's face appeared, smiling, Hou Jing felt that the other party was mocking him.
The elite soldiers who brought with them and so many cavalrymen were all swept away by the flood without a chance to confront them.
This battle was very badly lost!
"You! Throw the knife down!"
The shouting brought Hou Jing back to reality. He found that he was the only one left on the tree, and the other soldiers had become prisoners, and there were many ships surrounding the canopy.
A Liang soldier ordered him to put down his weapons and surrender. The sound of drums sounded from time to time around, which sounded very noisy.
He couldn't escape, so...
Thinking of the third son Gao (Gao Aocao) whom he has always looked down on, Hou Jing pulled out his sword and pointed to Tian: "I don't accept it!"
"Why can He Liuhun and Hei Otter build a foundation, but I have accomplished nothing!"
After saying that, he looked at Liang Bing around him and laughed. He wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't want to die invisible, otherwise he would be worse than Gao Laosan.
"I, that's..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew over and shot him in the right hand with a knife.
The hand was shot through and the knife fell. Hou Jing shook his body in pain and fell down. He was caught by the soldiers, tied his hands behind his back and blocked his mouth because they saw that the person was going to commit suicide.
On a boat not far away, Li Li put down his bow and said to Huang?, who was beside him: "Hey, you have to commit suicide quickly. You have to talk so much nonsense. Now, you can't even die."
"It's so funny that a little pawn has so many dramas to commit suicide."
Huang? nodded with a smile, and admired Li Li's shooting skills: it is not easy to stand on a shaking boat and hit the shaking hands that are more than thirty steps away.
Zheng Yuan on the boat next to him frowned and asked someone to shake the boat over, as if to check the prisoners. Li Li smiled when he saw this: "It's just a small man, could he be an acquaintance?"
The soldiers on several ships were all Li Li's subordinates, so Zheng Yuan easily brought the prisoner who had attempted suicide.
Two or three steps away from Li Li, he shouted excitedly: "Hou Jing! It's Hou Jing!"
Many people were stunned by shouting like this. Li Li was a little overwhelmed. The reason why he shot arrows was to capture the prisoner alive, but not because he recognized who the man was. The result...
"What did you say? Say it again?" Huang? asked, a little excited.
Zheng Yuan grabbed Hou Jing who was struggling hard: "This person is Hou Jing. He turned into ashes, and I recognize him!"
Huang? I don’t know the origin of Zheng Yuan, so I feel strange: “You haven’t seen Hou Jing before, how can you be sure it’s him?”
Li Li's body stiffened, looked at Zheng Yuan, and then the captured middle-aged man.
He has a short figure, long body, short legs, wide forehead, high cheekbones, dark red face, sparse hair, no beard, and looks ordinary.
There seemed to be a deep eyes and a high nose between my eyebrows and eyes.
"Mr. I saw him in Guangzhou back then!" Zheng Yuan shouted, and Li Li came to his senses: Guangzhou? It is the Guangzhou of Que Nan, and it is the Guangzhou guarded by Li Changshou, the father of Li Yisun!
He heard what Li Yisun said, that when Li Changshou was attacked by Hou Jing while serving as the governor of Guangzhou, he was killed.
Li Li looked at the bow in his hand and then at the glaring prisoner in front of him, unable to believe his good luck.
