31. The first battle
The horse presented by Chi Wei is worthy of being a BMW horse, and before dawn, the two of them have already arrived at Hongye Village, what Yu Junyan didn't expect was that Gu Liang was also here.
Yu Junyan frowned and said, "Lord Gu has not recovered from his serious injuries, why don't you have a good rest in the mansion." ”
"The prince doesn't know anything...... Gu Liang couldn't stop coughing before he finished speaking, "The water thieves are attacking again, although the minister knows that he is not a general, but he can't see the robbers acting recklessly and putting the people of Hongye Village in the water and fire, so he came here again to organize the bandits." ”
Yu Junyan patted Gu Liang on the shoulder and praised: "I have an official like Lord Gu in Dayuan, which is really a blessing for the country." ”
Gu Liang hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The minister didn't dare to ask for credit, he just did what he should do." But how did the prince's daughter come here alone? ”
Su Yuheng didn't understand that he was obviously standing next to Yu Junyan, where could Gu Liang see that he came "alone", maybe in Gu Liang's eyes, it didn't make much sense for him, the "stupid" princess, to follow. However, Su Yuheng is used to being a fool, and he will not be angry because of Gu Liang's inappropriate words. He walked slowly along the path alone, Hongye Village, which was built along the river, was already plagued by perennial floods, and now water thieves are rampant, adding fuel to the fire of this already poor village. Looking at the damaged boats parked on the shore and the floating debris remaining in the river, Su Yuheng faintly felt that this gang of water thieves was not so easy to deal with.
"What are you looking at?"
A voice sounded from behind, Su Yuheng turned around, and saw Yu Junyan standing behind him with a stern face.
Yu Junyan said: "The ship of the water thieves has sailed towards this side, and I am ready to leave now." ”
Let's go now?! Yu Junyan had just arrived in Hongye Village, and he didn't know anything about the battle situation and the surrounding environment, so it was really inappropriate to send troops in such a hurry. Su Yuheng thought secretly in his heart, wanting to remind Yu Junyan, but then he thought about it again, he had not fought a war, had no actual combat experience, and his learning and application of the art of war was only limited to talking about it on paper, but the young prince in front of him was a wolf general who had been praised by General Jin Mu and the first emperor for many years on the battlefield, and he must know better than himself the reason that he should not be reckless to send troops, and if he still decided to send troops when he knew this, it means that there is no better way than this in the current situation.
Su Yuheng grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth, his eyes were crooked like two crescents, and he pulled Yu Junyan's sleeve and said, "Junyan, take me with you." ”
Yu Junyan originally wanted Su Yuheng to stay in Hongye Village to treat the wounded, but judging from what he had just learned from Gu Liang, the current situation is very unoptimistic, the strength of the water thieves is several times that of our side, and they have been robbing homes and houses on the water all year round, and the skills of water warfare must be mature, and although he has fought for several years, he has never fought in water warfare, and he lacks experience, so it is actually a big adventure to decide to face it now.
In fact, when Yu Junyan came to Hongye Village this time, he originally just took a look at the current situation of Hongye Village and understood the number and combat effectiveness of the water thieves before making deployments, but with the current situation of Hongye Village, he really couldn't withstand the looting of the water thieves again. If the people's heart is broken, it will be difficult to repair it, and the people are the foundation of the country, and the people's will directly affects the foundation of the country.
Yu Junyan nodded, said a word to Su Yuheng to follow, and got on the boat with Gu Liang and others.
The boat drove forward not far, and Yu Junyan saw a neatly arranged row of boat pairs, a total of more than a dozen boats, each of which was hung with a black flag, war drums and thunder, shaking the sky.
The leader put it on, a man in brocade clothes waved his hand, and tens of thousands of feather arrows shot towards Yu Junyan's fleet, Yu Junyan gave an order, all the soldiers picked up the haystacks prepared in advance, formed a circle on the boat, and collected the arrows shot by the water thieves for their own use.
Yu Junyan ordered someone to point the arrow, and then shot back at the water thief's ship, the rocket was fired on the boat, the fire spread, the water thief's clothes quickly caught fire, and many black flags on the boat were burned to ashes.
The brocade-clothed man who commanded the battle among the water thieves obviously found that this opponent was more difficult to deal with than before, and with a few waves of his hand, all the water thieves' ships turned around in unison and headed back.
"Chase!" Gu Liang shouted.
Yu Junyan was silent for a long time, looking at the neatness of the departing pirate ships, without the slightest panic, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid there is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”
Just when everyone was puzzled by Yu Junyan's decision, a small soldier suddenly came to report: "Lord Wang, it's not good!" Our boat is overflowing somehow! ”
