The word "pretending to be forced" naturally comes from Liu Yu's mouth, in addition to this, this kid has a lot of strange words, and he doesn't think it's strange if he hears it too much, and Jiang Cai's behavior at this time has some of the meaning of pretending to be forced in Zhang Shijie's mouth.

On the long street on the side of the wharf, the original hustle and bustle no longer exists, whether it is the cavalry that suddenly appeared or the boatmen who were driven out by Pu's men, there is no trace, showing a very strange silence, except for the person at the corner of the street, there is a long shadow dragged under the morning sun.

"According to the edict of the imperial court, the imperial army stationed in Quanzhou and the left wing of the forbidden army in Zaquanzhou commanded Xia Jing to collude with the lawless people in the city, intending to rebel, and the crime was extremely evil. If there is a lost person who knows how to return, no matter who he is, he will return with a rebellion, and the official can protect his merits, otherwise when the army arrives, the jade will be burned, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

I don't know if I was frightened by his words, the front of the Xia army that swarmed out was blocked at the entrance of the official road and the street, and a commander led by him looked at the madman in front of him in disbelief, is this a battle?

At this moment, Jiang Cai's appearance is really a bit like those fierce generals in Liu Yu's story, the big gun is placed horizontally on the saddle, and the people and horses are gray from top to bottom, except for a pair of blazing eyes and a look with a hint of pity.

"Only one person?"

"There is indeed only one person in the capital, the street is empty, and the subordinates are afraid of an ambush, so they dare not move forward rashly, so I have come to ask the capital to show me."

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Xia Jing touched the stubble under his chin and was stunned, he was not afraid of the cavalry, what he was afraid of was the cavalry who could not be found, the other party did this, it was certain that there would be an ambush, but like this kind of terrain, where would they be ambushed? How are you going to face it?

In a commercial city like Quanzhou, there are fang markets under the city, and all kinds of self-built houses are scattered in a disorderly manner, well, this is a poetic saying, if he is born in the next generation, Xia Jing will definitely yell "lend me 3,000 city management, sweep away all illegal buildings".

And now, Xia Jing has the power of life and death, but there is no way to take these things, the other party is luring the enemy and delaying time, which are all things on the surface, whether to enter or not, it is a difficult problem.

Narrow streets, no more than three people in parallel, in this case, no formation can be used, just like a street battle in the city, scattered advancement, house by house is the norm, do you want to do this? Xia Jing was also a little hesitant.

More than 1,000 people are scattered everywhere, although it is not a needle in a haystack, it will not be too far to find it, and more importantly, their own soldiers and horses are just like this, if they are scattered again? He is also an old soldier, isn't this the other party's plan.

It's just that Xia Jing overestimated Jiang Cai a little, the latter was really helpless to do this, the infantry army did not arrive, how could he use more than a thousand physically and mentally exhausted cavalry under his command to fight the enemy, and to delay time, there is nothing more effective than this method, if it is really flat, he has nothing to do.

Naturally, his own swagger is also part of the temptation of the enemy, when he saw the enemy showing his bow and crossbow and preparing to rush up, he quickly turned his horse and retreated, running wildly along the long street Pegasus, from time to time there was a shouting of the enemy behind him, Jiang Cai did not look back, and estimated that there should be a large number of enemies following.

"Ready, assault."

The speed of the horse is very fast, but in a few breaths, he saw that he was at the end of the long street, Jiang Cai listened to the sound behind him and turned on the walkie-talkie while slowing down the horse's speed, but with four simple words, the situation on the street changed suddenly.

Countless cavalry suddenly killed in the originally silent alley, from one end to the other, crossed and rushed, hundreds of foot soldiers who rushed to the street did not react, they were scattered and knocked down, no need to use weapons, most of the enemies were solved with horsepower alone, and those who did not die could not escape the trampling of the horses' hooves behind, Jiang Cai watched this scene motionlessly, did not step forward to provoke, but disappeared into the alley with everyone.

"Fu, the enemy army has begun to divide its troops, and there are guards at all the alleys."

"In the middle of the approaching enemy army, there is also a junction with about a hundred people."

"Be careful, they're going to turn a corner, right in front of you."

Zhang Qingyun's subordinates acted as Jiang Cai's eyes and ears, so that they could anticipate the enemy's opportunities and deal with them calmly, just like a cheating game, the opponent's hole cards were already known, and the rest was just how to see the moves, which was why Jiang Cai dared to deal with them.

"X!"

Xia Jing listened to the screams from time to time, and spat on the ground fiercely, such a battle was something he had never fought in his life, even if it was when he encountered a fierce Tartar. It's too much, it feels like he's punched the cotton, and the cotton has thorns in it!

By now, he had lost the confidence he had when he went out of the city, the other party was not only tenacious but also cunning, for what purpose it was self-evident, what he was most afraid of was that he would spare these 5,000 men and horses, and in the end he would not be able to please him, and he might not even be able to go back to the city.

Xia Jing overestimated himself and underestimated Jiang Cai, but after learning that the enemy's main force had all left the city, he had an even bolder plan, so bold that he couldn't believe his decision when he later summed up the battle.

"The infantry army does not have to come to the dock, immediately turn to attack Quanzhou City, and those who enter the city first should be credited."

At this moment, the infantry army was still on the way to come, and compared with the cavalry, they were about an hour and a half slower, and the sun was already hanging high, shining on the earth without obstruction.

However, a military order is a military order, Jiang Cai is extremely strict in governing the army, everyone knows that he is really good at killing, in desperation, the leader of the army can only order everyone to discard all unnecessary equipment and move forward lightly, so these heavy objects, including iron armor, are all thrown to the people who accompany the army, and they have no speed requirements.

In addition to the 3,000 people requisitioned in Zhangzhou, there were more than 1,000 prisoners brought from Qiongzhou, including mountain bandits and pirates, and the most special was a group of government servants, who naturally became the managers of this group of auxiliaries because of their special status.

Zheng Huchen, the lieutenant of Huiji County, is still dressed in a strong suit, and after learning that this group of people is actually an official army, a hanging heart has also been put down, and even has a little meritorious service, after all, he has violated the law of the country, if he can make a meritorious service, it is better than being arrested or dying in the world.

"Cheer up, keep up."

In front of the wolf-like officers and soldiers, these errand servants are naturally low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, but in the face of ordinary people, they have completely changed their faces, and they are used to being powerful and blessed.

Suddenly found that the accompanying officers and soldiers were gone, and the hot-headed people understood that the war was imminent, and it would be fatal. At the moment, he silently packed up the things thrown by the soldiers and put them on the cart, and the control of the servants was no longer yang and yin, and they all felt that they had accelerated their speed, and for a while, the traffic on the official road was rolling, and it looked like the army was marching from a distance.

People have a just in case thought, Pu is no exception, although he made up his mind to go out of the city, but he did not go out before the result was clear, after all, the tall city wall can give people more security, you must know that with his belongings, it is not easy to simply clean up, not to mention the woman who is full of yards?

Therefore, while making preparations, Pu kept inquiring about the news outside the city, and later he simply went to the city gate and looked from the city tower, but Xia Jing's team did not see it, but saw another scene.

Brigand? Bandit, Pu Shi didn't know which word was more accurate, the mud on his body covered his own color, only the red tassel on his head was particularly dazzling, and Pu's pupils shrank, which was what he was most afraid of seeing.

There was already a mess at the city gate, as early as when the army appeared on the official road, Pu Shi sent people out to inform Xia Jing while organizing people to intercept on the spot, so that the other party he didn't expect came too quickly, and almost rushed straight up, directly colliding with the team out of the city, and the drawbridge didn't have time to pull up.

You can't blame Pu for his slow reaction, he is not a defender, he has no experience at all, and it is natural to hesitate a little, how do you know that the enemy is so unreasonable, and even the steps of lining up and shouting are omitted, this is not scientific!

Fortunately, they don't seem to be an elite division, and they are a little tired from running all the way, and the temporarily organized township soldiers plus Pu's own courtyard soldiers can fight with them. They couldn't rush in, and they weren't repulsed, what made the Pu clan on the city tower embarrassed was that now thousands of people and horses were mixed together, and the township soldiers on the city tower couldn't use the bows and crossbows in their hands to help the below, and they shot at will only for fear that their side would collapse first, so he didn't know what to do.

"Got it."

After getting the report, Xia Jing waved his hand and drove the messenger down, the news was not as he expected, the Song people on the dock were not easy to get along, just afraid that it was for this moment, after fighting for so long, he already had some understanding, I am afraid that this dock will not be able to be taken back, if even the city behind him is lost? Thinking of this, he summoned the previous commander to his side.

"The people with you are blocked here, you don't have to go in again, Xia will go back and take a look, and come back to pick you up later, that's our back road, please here."

As Xia's confidant, how could he not know that Xia Jing saying such a thing was almost equivalent to giving up on them, but could he refuse? When he thought of the small family in the city, he turned his heart sideways and simply clasped his fists and saluted.

"All the generals will go early and return early, and the general will not be dishonored."

All these changes could not escape the eyes of the spies, there was a fierce battle at the city gate, and most of the enemy troops besieging the dock dispersed, Jiang realized that his arrangement had an effect, and at this moment his heart was very big, not only to capture the city, but also to gather and annihilate the most capable part of the rebel army under the city.

It's just that the facts that came later proved that Xia Jing dared to openly rebel, of course, he would not be a general, and the cavalry assembled according to his general order suddenly fell into the situation before the enemy. The number of enemy troops blocking the street entrance was only a few hundred, but they put on a desperate stance, the formation in front was like a hedgehog, and the crossbowmen were ambushed everywhere behind the houses on the left and right.

"Is there any other way, hurry up and take me out."

In desperation, Jiang Cai could only order through the walkie-talkie, his infantry was desperate, the enemy had a numerical advantage, and he was still waiting for work, but he was afraid that he would not last long, once this kind of raid became a tough battle, the morale of the attackers would drop faster, which he knew well.

Now it is useless to think about whether the previous plan is risky anymore jiang cai waited for the spies to respond with a sinking face, of course there is another way, and the pu family went back to the city before. But in a hurry, to find a nearest route in the dense alleys, Jiang knew that it was also a problem, no matter how anxious he was, he didn't urge too much, fortunately, these spies have been lurking here for several months, and the terrain in this area has long been familiar with him, and it didn't take long for human voices to sound on the walkie-talkie.

"Zhaofu, go through the alley from your left, go straight first, turn right at the past four intersections and you should reach the crossing, Zhaofu first, the small one will show you the way."

"Let's go!"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Cai immediately turned around and led people in, and a team of nearly a thousand people followed behind in turn, looking from a high place, like a long snake winding, in order to prevent the enemy from noticing, even the flag was put away.

Since it is a detour, the natural distance is even farther away, and the speed is not fast, and when Jiang Cai stepped out of the alley, the situation on the official road was already vivid, and there was no need for spies to report it.

"The last general missed, please appease and surrender."

"Hurry up, it's the official's carelessness, hurry up and gather the brothers and retreat there."

The infantry army was unsurprisingly defeated, and Jiang didn't have time to calculate his losses, in case the enemy rank and tail chased after him, his cavalry was not ready, and the big gun in his hand was pointed in the direction of the dock.

Then the spy came to dispel his doubts, and instead of going out of the city to pursue, the enemy chose to return to the city to hold on, so that he could focus on consolidating control of the docks, where there were still a few hundred remnants of the enemy army, which seemed to have been abandoned.

"Shi Zhong, your consulate department blocks their retreat, Hugh wants to let one person go, and the rest of the people go with so-and-so."

Jiang Cai, who was a little annoyed, took his anger out on the remnants of the enemy, and now they have gone around, almost behind the enemy, with the speed of the cavalry, it is not difficult to defeat them before the other party reacts, but it is a pity that they have lost a chance to win the full battle.

"Xia Shuai, why don't you take advantage of the situation to chase it out and annihilate this Song people."

Xia Jing hadn't gotten used to being classified as a Song person, and when he suddenly heard Pu Shi say this, he couldn't help but stare at him.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, who knows how many people are behind, don't forget, there is also that cavalry army."

Xia Jing's tone was a little gloomy, such a victory did not make him happy, although the city was back in his hands, but almost twenty percent of the manpower could not come back, it was his most relied on cronies, which made him feel pain.

"Forget it, Lao Pu, the most virtuous thing now is to hold this city and save your life, and if the ship is lost, it will be lost. I was a little tired, so I went back first, nothing important, don't bother Xia. ”

Xia Jing, who was short in stature, staggered on his horse and left, Pu Shi was a little depressed, so forget it? The fleet that has brought countless wealth and glory to his own decades of hard work was so easily given to the Song people? In the direction of the dock outside the city, the sound of fighting was still endless, and he couldn't believe that in just one night, everything would no longer belong to him, this realization made his blood surge, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"Signal them, order them to do it, immediately!"

Pu almost roared behind him, since he couldn't get it, then no one wanted to get it, his blood-red eyes were like beasts that chose people to devour, which made people shudder.

Everything on the docks, the sailors in the distant harbor did not get the news, of course, even if they knew, they would not be of much help, because everyone walked into the treasure house like robbers, one by one, they were dazzled, and they had no energy to take care of other things.

"Order, tell them all to hurry, how many brothers are waiting behind, hurry up, don't block the waterway."

Yang Fei was too busy to take care of himself at this time, there was no wind in the harbor, and the boat he grabbed couldn't get up to speed even if he raised his sails, and in the end he had to rely on manpower to paddle, which was a mess. There are only a few waterways in total, and if you slow down a little, you will be blocked by a large string, and there are no traffic rules or anything like that, who is willing to let whom, Yang Fei has no choice but to be this traffic policeman, slowly guiding the boats in and out.

As the seized ships were rowed out of the harbor one by one, the originally narrow waterway gradually widened, and the speed of the robbery became faster, and the sailors in the front had already sailed out one after another, and it was time for the brethren in the rear army to get on next.

"Oh no, Commander, there's a fire over there."

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Fei was shocked by the news that came, he didn't need to use a clairvoyant mirror, and in the direction pointed by his subordinates, a puff of black smoke rose into the sky, and the fire was not obvious, but at such a density, Yang Fei looked at the ships stacked on top of each other, and his heart was tight.

"Quick, quick, rush in! All for Lao Tzu to rush in! ”

In the summer, the sea ships are either wood or cloth, and in order to prevent corrosion, there are many places where oil is used, once it burns, it is the trend of spreading, Yang Fei of course will not want to extinguish the fire, he just wants to grab a few more boats before the fire spreads!
