Chapter 108 Don't think about being black and eating black
It seemed that more than the Wagang Army was fighting out of the ambush on the shore. After the Wagang Army appeared, a peasant uprising army, which was also ragged, rushed out from another dense wood next to it, shouting and cheering, rushing towards the riverside. The number of people was obviously more than the Wagang Army, but the flags were chaotic, and the queues were loose in the east and west. The weapons in their hands were even messy and shoddy, which was very different from the Wagang Army, which was relatively unified in weapons and equipment, and was also very similar to the second and third-tier rebel teams that Chen Yingliang had encountered on the battlefield of counter-rebellion.
At the same time, another official ship had been towed near the shore. The Wagang army on the shore flew out dozens of ropes with iron hooks, hooked the ship's side accurately, and pulled it hard to drag it to the shore. The sailor and official officer on the official ship screamed in shock, but could not stop the official ship being dragged to the river bank. On the river bank, hundreds of Wagang soldiers holding swords and guns were already ready to rush onto the ship and kill and set fire at any time.
The official boat under Chen Yingliang's feet was slightly better. Because Chen Yingliang's reaction was quick and timely order, the official boat's rope was cut off some hook boat ropes in time and was dragged to the shore slightly slower. Seeing this, Chen Yingliang quickly yelled again, ordering the official boat to continue chopping the ropes, and personally pulled out a horizontal knife to participate in chopping the ropes, but the sailor's scream came from the bow of the boat, "It's an iron chain, it's constantly chopping."
Chen Yingliang turned his head and saw that there was indeed a hooked iron chain at the bow of the ship firmly hooked the side of the ship. At the other end of the chain, a small boat was almost on the river bank. Shocked by the Wagang Army's careful methods, Chen Yingliang quickly shouted: "Smash the side of the ship and smash the side of the ship."
The competition began. The sailors of the official boat were busy finding the axe, rushed to the bow and chopping the side of the ship, and the end of the iron chain was sent to the shore at the same time. On the shore, the Wagang Army dragged the iron chain and pulled it back, and tried hard to pull the official boat to the shore. The uncontrollable official boat was under force to approach the river bank, and wood chips flew across the side of the ship. Both sides were competing for speed, and the scene was so tense that it was breathless.
With a loud bang, the side of the ship, which was split by an axe, could not stand the huge force, and finally broke with wood chips all over the sky. The official ship stopped leaning towards the river bank. The Wagang soldiers who were dragging iron chains on the shore fell to the east and west. The official sailors on Chen Yingliang's boat also cheered loudly.
Chen Yingliang's ship was temporarily out of danger, but another official ship that was dragged to the dock was in tragedy. Before the official ship could even fully land, the soldiers of the Wagang army had already climbed and jumped onto the ship in groups. As soon as they got on the ship, they immediately waved their swords to kill people. They killed people without saying a word. After being killed and injured, they immediately threw them into the river. They cried and cried on the deck and in the cabin. Many official sailors were thrown into the river, struggling and shouting for help in the canal, rising and falling, and the Wagang army laughed wildly on the deck, and could vaguely hear the shouts of "killing all the dogs and soldiers."
Seeing this, the officials and servants from the Eastern Capital, led by Qian Xiangmin, were of course all glad that they had not suffered this misfortune, but Qian Xiangmin and others soon found that they were too early to be glad. The iron chain that fell into the water was quickly picked up by the Wagang Army sailors and threw it back to the side of the ship. More than ten small boats that had hooked another official boat to the shore also changed their targets. They rushed towards Chen Yingliang's ship, and the ropes with the iron hook also flew one by one, and they rushed towards Chen Yingliang's ship with the whistling hook. A particularly unlucky official was hit by the head by the big iron hook, and his head burst into pieces and fell to the ground and died.
Fortunately, with previous experience, Chen Yingliang didn't need to order to respond again this time. In order to survive, the sailors on the ship rushed to cut ropes against the common hook-rejection tactics in ancient water wars. They also competed to throw the heavy iron chains and hooks on the deck that the Wagang Army had finally thrown onto the river first, without giving the Wagang Army a chance to reuse the same trick. It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that Chen Yingliang quickly observed the entire battlefield carefully and planned the countermeasures.
The Wagang Army on the shore had about 1,200,2300 troops. Judging from the flag, it should be about six schools. The other rebel army did not have a unified flag, so it could only be estimated to be more than 2,000. In terms of number, these enemies are not scary. As long as the two regiments of Guo Feng and Chen Ci can reach the battlefield, Chen Yingliang believes that it is not difficult to defeat these enemies. At the same time, Chen Yingliang also discovered two small details. The first detail was that a big word was written on the Wagang Army's commander flag; the second detail was that the Wagang Army and the other rebel army did not completely integrate into one, but clearly kept a certain distance.
After confirming the enemy situation, Chen Yingliang quickly turned his head to look at the upper reaches of the canal, and then found in great disappointment that there were no boats and boats on the upper reaches of the canal. It was obvious that the National Army, who had never fought a water war, encountered a surprise attack on the water surface for the first time, and it was difficult for him to react immediately and respond calmly, and he was temporarily unable to arrive here to launch rescue. Fortunately, Chen Yingliang had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the National Army. I believe that Guo Feng and Chen Ci would definitely bring the National Army to rescue him without much time.
Fu was the one who supported Guancha on the ship to save himself. The Wagang Army's hook-rejection tactics were never successful. The ship always kept a distance of about ten feet from the river bank. The Wagang Army, which lacked large ships, could not quickly rush onto the Guanchuan to kill people and seize the ship. Chen Yingliang was secretly happy for a while and said that there was a rescue. However, Chen Yingliang, who knew little about water wars and the Wagang Army, still underestimated the Wagang Army's ability to adapt. First, the archers of the Wagang Army began to shoot archery rain at the official ship, and then a strange dongdong sound suddenly sounded at the flank of the official ship. Sailors with water experience also shouted, "Master, the Mansion Master, no, the Wagang thief is chiseling our ship."
"Carrying a boat?" Chen Yingliang's face changed drastically. He knew that if the service army could not arrive in time, he would only have two consequences. One was that the official ship was dragged to the shore, and the Wagang army cut himself to death by knife, and the other was that the Wagang army dug the bottom of the ship, and the water in the cabin drowned himself alive.
"Chen Jishi, what should I do? What should I do?" Qian Xiangmin grabbed Chen Yingliang's sleeve again, and cried with tears in his eyes, "The Wagang thief is pulling a boat again, and he also drilling a boat. What should we do? What should we do?
"Term your efforts to deal with the enemy who pulls the boat and smashes the water with something."
Chen Yingliang decided to struggle dyingly, and personally picked up the debris on the ship and smashed them down the ship. Guan Cha on the ship also followed suit, but the experienced sailors immediately pointed out that this was useless, because experienced water ghosts usually hid at the bottom of the ship and chiseled upwards. However, Chen Yingliang didn't care about so much, but ordered the official officer to continue to fight against the Wagang Army's hook-rejection tactics, and once again threw the heavy chains on the side of the ship back into the water. At the same time, they kept smashing the ship with heavy objects, fighting for time with their lives.
Chen Yingliang's dying struggle completely angered the Wagang army on the shore. More Wagang sailors jumped into the water and swam to drill the boat. At the same time, the Wagang sailors who were driving the boat also began to climb the side of the boat, wanting to rush up and kill people and set fire directly. Fortunately, Guan Cha on the boat was already prepared this time and held the boat's side and chopped the sailors from a high place, and did not give the Wagang sailors the chance to rush onto the deck for the time being.
At this time, another official ship that had been seized by the Wagang Army rang out an angry roar, "Damn it, the porcelain is all a bunch of broken porcelain that is worthless."
Of course, Jun kiln porcelain, one of the five famous kilns in China, is definitely not a worthless broken porcelain. However, for the Wagang Army, who is robbed of grain and has a general lack of education, the Jun kiln porcelain that cannot be eaten or worn is indeed a pile of good-looking garbage. After working hard for so long, it took so much effort. As a result, only robbed such garbage. The Wagang Army on the shore was furious, and the roars of killing all the dogs were heard one after another. The generals of the Wagang Army who led the team were also disappointed and said furiously: "Damn it, so many officers and soldiers escorted me, I thought it was a treasure, which made me compensate a sloop to pass the order, kill all these dog officials, and not one of them left."
The enemy was furious and the bows and arrows were shot even harder. Fortunately, the Wagang Army did not have too many bows and arrows, and the arrow rain was not strong. Chen Yingliang was not very dangerous if he was careful. However, the threat from the ship was getting stronger and stronger. Several Wagang Army sailors had already rushed to the deck and were fighting with the ship's escort officer who had no way to go. At the same time, the sound of chiseling under the ship became increasingly dense. The official officer who was monitoring the situation in the cabin also reported that water seepage had been discovered.
Finally, all the officials in the cabin rushed out and shouted to report that there were already some water sprays in the cabin. Then the official ship gradually began to sink. The Wagang soldiers on the shore were cheering, but Chen Yingliang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was not sure whether to dive or escape. Chen Yingliang did know some dog-padding style, but this water quality was so good that he could have some hope of survival in front of the Wagang army, which made a living by robbing the canal. Chen Yingliang had no idea.
With a few thumps, the sailors on the official boat could not stand the torture of fear. Several people jumped out of the river to escape, but the screams they immediately made, as well as the bodies that quickly floated to the water, and the water surface stained with blood, warned the remaining officials on the boat that the road was blocked. Seeing this, Qian Xiangmin knelt directly on the deck and hugged Chen Yingliang's legs and cried loudly. Needless to say, Chen Yingliang, who had never noticed the arrival of the National Army, was also desperate, and closed his eyes and said, "The wind and waves have come. Should I really capsize the boat in this small river today?"
"A boat is coming." Suddenly, cheers made Chen Yingliang open his eyes immediately. When he quickly turned his head to see the upstream, Chen Yingliang immediately became desperate, because the ship was not a large official ship carrying soldiers of the National Army, but a very small ordinary civilian ship.
"Huh?" In despair, Chen Yingliang suddenly saw incredibly surprised that at the bow of the civilian ship that was rushing towards him with sails, a man was holding a knife on the neck of a boatman, forcing the civilian ship to quickly lean on his slowly sinking official ship. During this period, a Wagang army sailor jumped onto the civilian ship to try to stop it, and the knife man slashed his head with one knife. The blood sprayed over a long time, and the sword technique and power were absolutely abnormal.
The small boat full of sails finally approached Chen Yingliang's boat, and a vaguely familiar and crisp sound sounded on the boat, "Whoever is surnamed Chen, jump up quickly."
"Fight" Chen Yingliang didn't care about so much, so he jumped onto the civilian boat. Fortunately, the distance was very close, and Chen Yingliang's ship had already sunk for half. Chen Yingliang successfully jumped off the ship safely. Immediately afterwards, Lord Qian Xiangminqian, who had always been extremely vulgar, didn't know where he came out of the boat, and even followed Chen Yingliang to jump off the boat, and fell heavily beside Chen Yingliang, and cried again in pain.
It was a long time to say that, after Chen Yingliang and Qian Xiangmin successfully jumped from the ship one after another, the civilian ship full of sails had already passed by the sinking official ship and rushed downstream. The Wagang army on the shore was roaring and shocking the sky. At the same time, several Wagang army boats chased after him.
"Go away quickly." The knife-holder turned his back to Chen Yingliang and shouted. The boatman who was held hostage had no choice but to shout to the boatman who was shaking and rubbing: "Son, go away quickly."
"Why are you?" Chen Yingliang finally identified the familiar voice and quickly stepped forward to see the knife-holder. Sure enough, Pei Cuiyun, who was dressed as a man, was shocked again. Chen Yingliang blurted out: "Why are you here?"
"I said that we're not done." Pei Cuiyun's expression was as proud as a peacock with open-faced penis, and snorted: "I saved you once today, why do you thank me?"
With a bang, without waiting for Chen Yingliang to answer, a small boat in Wagang Army had already hit the small boat hired by Pei Cuiyun, and then another boat chased after him. On the boat, Wagang Army sailors jumped over one after another. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to draw out the horizontal sword and wave it. Pei Cuiyun knew that the matter was urgent, so she had to push away the boatman who was held hostage by him and push the sword to go with the Wagang Army sailor. With his skillful knife skills, he cut down another Wagang Army sailor and faced the enemy side by side with Chen Yingliang. Qian Xiangmin continued to hold his head and squat behind Chen Yingliang and howled.
Chen Yingliang and Pei Cuiyun both underestimated the response methods of some Wagang Army soldiers. Seeing that Pei Cuiyun was very good, the Wagang Army sailors who jumped over did not fight head-on, but cut off the sail cables first to slow down the sails. At the same time, two Wagang Army sailors rushed into the cabin and forced the boatman to lean on the north shore. The remaining people surrounded and restrained Pei Cuiyun and Chen Yingliang, and cooperated very skillfully.
Under the pressure of the Wagang Army, Pei Cuiyun hired the boat to quickly reach the north bank of Yongji Canal. Countless Wagang soldiers arrived on the shore and quickly surrounded the docking boat. Seeing this, not to mention Qian Xiangmin foaming at the mouth and Chen Yingliang's face was pale, even Pei Cuiyun, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little timid and asked Chen Yingliang in a low voice: "Mr., are you sure to fight out?"
"I need to be sure."
Chen Yingliang replied with a wry smile. He had no confidence in his superficial martial arts, and he didn't pay attention to what Pei Cuiyun called him. But there was no way. When he glanced at a few horse-riding Wagang soldiers appeared beside the shore, the poison nest was undercover twice. Chen Yingliang, who had already developed the habit of adapting to changes, suddenly had an idea, immediately squatted down and whispered to Qian Xiangmin: "Mr. Qian, if you want to survive, don't say anything, follow my arrangements."
"Chen Jishi, what did you say?" Qian Xiangmin, who was already full of tears, asked in surprise.
"Occursed."
Chen Yingliang whispered, then suddenly hugged Qian Xiangmin's shoulders, lifted him up, and quickly put it on Qian Xiangmin's neck with a horizontal knife, which was already wet with a crotch, and shouted at the Wagang army on the shore: "Don't come over, otherwise I will not come over if I kill him, otherwise I will kill him."
The incident suddenly started, let alone Pei Cuiyun and Qian Xiangmin, even the Wagang army on the shore were all stunned and had no idea what happened. The people surrounded by the self-army suddenly had internal conflicts, and they held each other hostage and threatened the self-army? Chen Yingliang shouted loudly: "Drop the ship for me, otherwise I will kill him with one knife, so that you can't get anything."
Of course, the Wagang army, who had already boarded the ship, would not be forced to get off the ship, but they did not come up to fight - because the matter was too strange. Chen Yingliang shouted again: "You Wagang want to eat black, and you don't even dream of the treasures of the Southern Dynasty belonging to us Emperor Liu. If you want to rob, it's amazing that I cut him with one knife. No one wants to hide treasures of the Southern Dynasty."
The soldiers of the Wagang Army looked at each other even more. A general of the Wagang Army, who looked like a leader, rode his horse out and asked Chen Yingliang: "Who are you? Who are you caught? What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend." Chen Yingliang sneered loudly and said to the general of the Wagang Army: "Wang King over there, how about we do a deal? Let us go. When we Liu Yuanjin, Emperor Liu gets the treasures of the Southern Dynasty, and you will be divided into 30% of you. If you must be evil, then I'm sorry, I'll cut him with one knife, so that you can't find the treasures of the four generations of the Southern Dynasty for the rest of your life."
"Are you Liu Yuanjin's people?" The general of Nawagang Army was shocked - let me explain here that Liu Yuanjin was the leader of the Wujun peasant uprising army. He claimed to be the emperor and gathered more than 100,000 people in the Jiangdong area to attack cities and land. Even if Emperor Yang of Sui sent famous generals Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo to join forces to fight, he could do nothing to him for a while.
"Yes," Chen Yingliang replied in a big way: "I am the Minister of Civil Affairs, Liang Chengliang, under the command of Emperor Liu. On the order of Emperor Liu, he came to Dongdu to welcome the former King of Chen Shaoling Chen Jing. I caught this person, and was the beloved son of the former Emperor Chen Shubao, and the King of Shaoling Chen Jing."
"Ah" The general of the Wagang Army was speechless, and he never dreamed that he could encounter such a strange thing. Qian Xiangmin, who was held hostage by Chen Yingliang, was also speechless and almost screamed. Fortunately, Qian Xiangmin had had the experience of being introduced by Chen Yingliang to act as a big shot. He had enough experience and did not shout out to expose Chen Yingliang's nonsense.
In shock, the general of the Nawagang Army hurriedly asked again: "Mr. Liang, what do you mean by the Southern Dynasty treasure hiding?"
"Don't you know?" Chen Yingliang's expression was more surprised than that of the generals of the Wagang Army. He asked in surprise: "Then why do you rob our ship? Didn't your Wagang people come to rob this King Shaoling?"
"No." The general of the Wagang Army, who was only in his twenties, shook his head and replied truthfully: "We received a tip that there were two official ships loaded with cargo. They entered the Tongji Canal under the protection of the four-ship official army. They thought it was a valuable treasure, so they came to stop the ship."
"What?" Chen Yingliang screamed in dismay, screaming heart-wrenchingly: "You are just for the Jun kiln porcelain of those two boats? Then you have to say it earlier. King Shaoling and I must have given it to you along with the boat and porcelain."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding." The generals of the Wagang Army were fooled and even apologized to Chen Yingliang, saying with a wry smile: "If I had known that you were King Liu's people, how could our Wagang brothers attack you? Everyone was trying to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang, and our Wagang Army never attacked friendly forces.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding." Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief, and put a knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck, bowed to the general of the Wagang army and said, "Liang Cheng, the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department under the command of Emperor Liu of Wu County, has seen the King of Wagang, and dare to ask the King's name of Gao."
"I'm Xu Shiyi." The general of the Wagang Army, who was only in his twenties, bowed and replied.
Chen Yingliang's muscles twitched involuntarily, and then said, "It turns out that it is King Xu, who has long been famous and well-known. Today, Liang Cheng is lucky to meet him. King Xu, since it is a misunderstanding, we can leave now, right? If King Xu can be proud of his actions, my Emperor Liu will definitely be rewarded in the future."
"Slow down"
Before Xu Shiyu could speak, another general riding a horse stepped forward and shouted to stop Chen Yingliang and others from leaving. He also pointed at Chen Yingliang and said, "If you want to leave, tell us first, what is the treasure trove of the Southern Dynasty?"
Chen Yingliang's face changed, and he immediately put the knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck and asked at the rebel general: "Who are you?"
Chapter completed!
