Trout Island outside Jiankang City was originally a place for fishermen to dry their nets and repair boats, but now it has been filled with camp accounts. A few days ago, it was very lively, but in the past two days, as the ships full of sergeants on the dock have left one after another, it seems empty.

Liu Shiyong stood outside a tent with a frown, looking at the Yanziji Wharf in the distance, holding a letter in his hand, which was written by Liao Yingzhong, a staff member of Jia Yidao, although it was not stamped with the big seal of the Governor's Mansion, it was equivalent to a military order.

In his heart, he didn't want to go to Yangzhou, he was not a close confidant of Jia Yidao, and he had never been allowed to reuse. If you really go to Yangzhou, you just live a busy life, but if you don't go, where can you go?

Liu Shiyong is just a commander, and more than 400 of the men and horses in this battalion under his command are wounded soldiers, all of which are caused by the battle of Lugang, and the other 800 people are still intact because they carry supplies and go with the ship first. After thinking about it for a long time, I still had nothing to do, so I touched it, and the cigarette given by Liu Yu had already been smoked, and I really missed the smell a little.

When Liu Yu came from the portal, he was taken aback, the open space he originally thought was actually full of tents and military tents, although he knew that it could not be the enemy, he was still a little sweaty. But when I came out, there were few people in the whole camp, and everywhere was empty.

was scurrying around in the camp, and met a person head-on, took a closer look, and knew each other, the two looked at each other, and Liu Shiyong's stunned expression was beyond words. Just thinking about cigarettes, Liu Yu appeared in front of him. He looked left and right, and really couldn't figure out where Liu Yu came from.

"Unexpectedly, they are all here, and I thought I wouldn't see them." Without waiting for Liu Shiyong to ask, Liu Yu decisively bowed his hand first.

"If Taishou is a few days late, a certain may really leave, the Taishi is already stationed in Yangzhou, a letter is called, and the rear army is still here." Liu Shiyong didn't hide it from him, and told the truth with a wry smile.

"Oh? How was Commander Su injured, and did he also leave? Liu Yu remembered that Su Liuyi seemed to be a little seriously injured.

"That guy is so strong, how can he help him with a little injury, he boarded the ship yesterday and left, and a certain brother is still healing, so he has been delayed here." Hearing Liu Shiyong's words, Liu Yu was a little speechless, he remembered that Su Liuyi was hit by an arrow, is this all right?

"Hey, who's that?" Liu Shiyong said suddenly, Liu Yu looked at his finger, and a person stumbled from the city gate to the dock in the distance. Liu Yu took out the binoculars, and the man in the lens was dressed as a village soldier, who seemed to have injuries on his body, and he sighed in his heart, and the city did something.

Liu Yu put down the binoculars and told Liu Shiyong his intention. Hearing that there was a change in the city, Liu Shiyong immediately expressed his intention to bring people to help. Liu Yu was not polite, and the two gathered more than 800 healthy forbidden troops in the camp and headed towards the dock.

"What?" On the dock, Yuan Hong, the judge of Jiankang Tong, who had just sent away the last ship of forbidden troops, heard the narration of the visitor, and looked at this bloodthirsty subordinate, and his brain froze for a while. Killing people and seizing the door, this is not a camp, but a rebellion.

"You say it again?" Liu Yu, who rushed to the dock to meet Yuan Hong and others, heard the news that Wang Lixin was still in the city, and also had the same reaction as Yuan Hong. There were only more than 200 people in the forbidden army of the Yamen, and there were 5,000 under the direct subordinates of the three rebels, and it is unclear whether the forbidden army stationed in the city also participated. If they took Wang Lixin as a hostage, this battle would not be fought.

Looking at Yuan Hong and Ye Yingji's worried expressions in front of them, he knew that they were worried about their families in the city. Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, regretting that he hadn't killed decisively at the beginning, knowing that the three of them were unreliable, and he should have killed the killer when he dealt with Yingxiao, but he temporarily let them go in order to stabilize the situation, so that today's catastrophe was still inexperienced.

"How many feet is Jiankang City, how many gates are there? With such a large city, they are only 5,000 people, and they may not be able to protect it thoroughly, or it is unknown if there are flaws. Liu Shiyong saw the situation of the three of them, knew that they were confused, and reminded on the side. Liu Yu and others reacted immediately, and the most important thing now is to put aside distracting thoughts and think about countermeasures.

Outside the city, there were about 800 people who could fight in the forbidden army of Liu Shiyong's department, and more than 1,000 township soldiers of Yuan Hong's department were guarding the military materials piled up outside the city. The 600 cavalry led by Jiang Cai is coming day and night, and they will not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, these traitors have really picked a good day.

"Yuan Tongju, there are still more than 1,000 people in the city in your township soldiers? Where do you estimate they will be held if they are captured? "It's impossible to attack, Liu Yu hopes to think of a way in the city, after all, he has the ability to cross.

"As expected, it is still in the school barracks, Hugh said that he can't go in, even if he can do it, a thousand townspeople, how can he help." Yuan Hong shook his head, he knew very well the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, and it might be possible to defend against danger, but there was no hope of attacking head-on.

"Otherwise, the traitor is under the banner of arresting you, and a certain has just seen the city, and it is still the banner of the Great Song Dynasty. What does this mean? Liu Yu already had an idea in his heart, but he was a little risky.

"Taishou means that they know that they are short of troops and want to delay time and wait for the arrival of the Yuanren?" Liu Shiyong spoke, and Yuan Hong also nodded. Although there are few troops in the city, there are even fewer outside the city, and the traitors only need to hold the city and wait for the Yuan people to arrive, and they can succeed.

"Yes or no, you'll know later, the military resources here are piled up, and there are only more than 1,000 people guarding it, if it's you, how can you be unmoved?" Under normal circumstances, a few hundred forbidden troops can deal with these thousand soldiers, and if the traitors still have the strength to go out of the city to attack, it means that the city is already in danger.

Yuan Hong gave an order, and all the township soldiers were assembled in a team, anyway, there was a lot of military resources, and Liu Yu asked them all to change their clothes according to the standards of the forbidden army. After some rectification, it looks quite elite. More than 1,000 people were still in accordance with the array during training, facing the side that came out of the city gate, and lined up in battle formation.

"Big brother, the five gates in the city have fallen into my hands, and more than 1,000 township soldiers have been captured, why don't you rush directly into the Yamen of the Commandery, take down the ambassador, and play the banner of Yuanren, and wait for when." On the west gate of Jiankang City, there were still some blood stains on the ground, Xu Wangrong and his third brother Weng Fu stood at the head of the city and looked at the direction of the dock.

"Stupid man, the Yuan people are still far away, and the left is still the land of the Great Song Dynasty, just with more than 5,000 people waiting for me, how can we defend this huge Jiankang City? Now we are only playing the slogan of Yuan Hong, just to confuse them, as long as they are attracted to negotiate with us, we can slowly drag until the Yuan people approach, you know? ”

Seeing that Weng Fu was still unconvinced, Xu Wangrong didn't want to say more, the lot of military resources on the dock really made him a little hot, but when he thought of Yuan Hong's cousin when the camp was roaring, how many people would have to go out of the city to be sure to take it? He hesitated.

Yuan Hong's family has been captured, and in order to have a bargaining chip in the future, Xu Wangrong strictly ordered not to touch his family. There are more than 200 people guarding the Yamen, all of whom are the elite of the forbidden army from Lin'an Mansion, and they cannot threaten the lives of their families. Xu Wangrong only ordered people to surround the mansion. Anyway, Wang Lixin is not the economic and subordinate of this mansion, and he has no prestige in this Jiankang Mansion, if the Song army attacks the city, this is also the heaviest bargaining chip.

The second Mao Shifu was still in the camp in the east of the city to persuade that party to be unified, but he hated that guy, and the conditions were opened, and he didn't say whether he agreed or not, but he was just perfunctory. These more than 2,000 people are the biggest trouble, and before it is solved, the soldiers in the city will not be able to move at all.

"The third child, go and tell that Huang Yuanwai knows that we have already started an incident, and they promised that in addition to money, they also want people now, and they ordered him to form all the family members. Go to find Chen Xiaoyi again and tell him that if he helps, when he succeeds, all the splashes in Jiankang City will belong to him. "Chen Xiaoyi, the biggest gang leader in Jiankang Mansion, has hundreds of gangsters under him.

Weng Fu agreed, turned around and went downstairs, Xu Wangrong was still worried, when Tu sent out an army of more than 20,000 people, it would be possible to reach the city in four days at most. What the rest of the people don't know is that when Weng Fu sent people to hurry up to contact the Yuan people, he had already ordered his henchmen to go out of the city by water, counting the days, and they were almost going to Dangtu County, and now there was no other way but to hope that the Yuan people would go faster.

The Yuan army that was thought by Xu Wangrong had just bypassed Wuhu County at this moment, and the wolf's head in the middle of the army was given by the Great Khan Kublai Khan, and the gold ornaments decorated on the top pole were shining under the sun.

The slaughter order was issued by Pingzhang Ashu, and he himself acquiesced, and the specific implementation was the new annex army under Lu Wenhuan, this group of barbarians who had fought to the death with the Yuan people a few years ago, and as soon as they turned their heads, they opened a killing spree to the people of the same clan without mercy. Afterwards, he respectfully handed over most of the looted property, and although Boyan was a little disgusted with his behavior, he still praised it on the surface.

And the effect of this kind of killing is immediate, the Wuwei Army to which Huainan West Road belongs, Hezhou, and the envoy sent by Ning Guofu, to which Jiangnan East Road belongs, are now in the army. Boyan didn't plan to divide his troops to defend those places, but they each made officials and let them stay in place, and he had only one goal, that is, Jiankang Mansion in the lower reaches of the river.

"Urgent, urgent" The smoke and dust in front of him bounced up, and a horse galloped over, looking at its outfit, it was the herald cavalry. Boyan did not stop the horse, when the visitor approached, the soldier stepped forward to take a letter, turned around and handed it to him, Boyan immediately opened it and looked at it, smiled with his beard, and said in his heart: "God really help me."

"Pass the order, the army will move forward quickly, and it will rush to Dangtu County before nightfall, the vanguard of the front does not have to wait, and it will go straight to Jiankang Mansion, if it is not possible to attack the enemy, it can be delayed." With a wave of his hand, the army rolled and moved straight ahead.
