That's when the change happened.

A horse appeared in the distance, coming in the direction of Jiang Quanyi like a lightning speed.

Jiang Quanyi's entourage immediately rushed forward and stopped in front of Jiang Quanyi.

And the cavalry "jumped" off the horse a mile away, saying that it was a leap, but in fact it was rolling off.

He didn't have time to pat the dust on his body, and when he didn't even have time to rub and roll it off, he broke his foot and limped towards Jiang Quanyi.

"General...... Emergency Military Bulletin...... 100,000 urgent! ”

The entourage slowly dispersed to both sides, and Jiang Quanyi shouted in a deep voice: "The sky can't fall, what's the hurry?" Say, what is the alarm? ”

"In the early morning of yesterday, a large number of Qing cavalry from Tancheng to the south, and then launched an attack on Shuyang City, to the evening, the city was breached, the city of 800 defenders were annihilated, until today, Shuyang City's messengers rushed to Haizhou to report...... In addition, before the small group went out of Haizhou City to report to the general, there were also enemy troops in the north of Haizhou City, and the scouts came to report that no less than five or six thousand enemy troops were coming from the north to ....... ”

Jiang Quanyi's face changed several times, with a hint of panic in shock, and then slowly calmed down, and a sense of anger in his eyes gradually took shape, and then a trace of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and finally he simply laughed.

Jiang was in a panic...... Well done! ”

Jiang Quanyi said loudly: "Turn around and rush back to Haizhou City with General Ben." ”

After jumping on the horse, Jiang Quanyi seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and said to the Qi brothers: "You guys...... There is no need to return to Haizhou with this general, so he will return to Hangzhou Mansion immediately and report this military situation to His Royal Highness King Wu in person...... In addition, it is said that it is on my order to ask the prince for some good guns for the Taizhou guard envoy. ”

After speaking, he slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse let out a neighing of "Xi Yuyu", and galloped away like an arrow.

The Qi brothers' faces changed greatly, but they couldn't cope for a while.

Qi Jiajie looked at his brother suspiciously, "Brother, what is the general's intention?" Is this an order for us? But the big war is coming, let's leave Haizhou...... Is this appropriate? ”

Qi Jiahao's face became melancholy, he looked at Jiang Quanyi's back that had gradually disappeared, and said, "This battle ...... I'm afraid it's unpredictable. ”

Qi Jiajie still cared about it: "Brother, don't be ambitious to destroy his prestige...... Our Northern Expeditionary Army crisscrosses the north and south of the river, who have you been afraid of over the years? Isn't it just a few thousand Tartars coming to attack, just repel it. ”

Qi Jiahao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple...... We have made a peace treaty with the Qing court, and it stands to reason that the enemy army should not blatantly attack Haizhou, since the attack has been launched and Shuyang has been breached, then the enemy must have a perfect plan, and Haizhou City has only five or six thousand men...... Therefore, this battle must be dangerous and abnormal. ”

"What else is there to say?" Qi Jiajie hurriedly said, "We should hurry up and catch up with the general and go back to the city together to defend against the enemy." ”

"Nonsense!" Qi Jiahao grabbed his younger brother who was about to jump on horseback, "The general has an order, so you and I will return to Hangzhou Mansion as soon as possible to report the news...... Do you dare to disobey military orders? ”

"Brother, when is it? Report a letter, do you want our chief and deputy battalion commanders to go together? Qi Jiajie shook off his brother's hand and said hurriedly, "Brother, get on the horse quickly, no matter how late it is, we won't be able to catch up with the general, and if the city gate is closed, we won't be able to enter the city......." ”

A crisp slap sounded.

Qi Jiahao slapped him vigorously, which made Qi Jiajie a little stunned, and he looked at his brother in surprise, "You hit me?" ”

Qi Jiahao grabbed his brother's sleeves with both hands, "Brother, listen to my brother, go back to Hangzhou Mansion and report to the prince...... This is a military order, and it may also be an older brother...... One last thing I can do for you. ”

"Brother, what are these words?"

"Listen...... This battle is not trivial, our dynasty and the Qing court truce and signed a peace treaty, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been transferred back to the south of the Yangtze River, now there is only one guard pass in the north of the Yangtze River, less than 30,000 people, and scattered in Huai'an, Yangzhou garrison, even if the messenger is quickly sent for help, the arrival of reinforcements, at least three days, and at this time Haizhou City encountered a combined attack by the enemy troops in the west and north, and the enemy's strength is far more than twice that of me...... I think the general is going to lock down the city...... Listen to my brother, you go back to Hangzhou Mansion to report the news, brother, I will chase the general, live and die with the general, in this way, no matter what the result is, it will not live up to the general's desire to protect you and my brother, nor will people accuse our Qi family of being greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Qi Jiahao slowly let go of the hand that he kept trying to shake off, and he understood.

It turned out that both Jiang Quanyi and his brother had the same meaning, that is, they wanted to save the Qi family's life.

"Since it is a certain defeat, why didn't my brother dissuade the general from retreating south? In this way, let's catch up with the general and urge him to retreat...... The prince said that if you know that you can't beat it, you still fight, it's not brave, it's stupid! ”

"Fart!" Qi Jiahao said angrily, "You half-grown baby know what it means to be brave and stupid?" The general has been through a hundred battles, and I can guess it, how can he not guess? Now Shuyang City has been broken by the enemy, the defenders are gone, Huai'an Mansion in addition to our army, Pizhou, Huai'an City each has 3,000 defenders, as soon as our army withdraws, the enemy's door to the south will be opened, the enemy is menacing, there must be a follow-up army, in this way, without waiting for the general's mansion to respond, Huai'an Mansion has changed hands! ”

Qi Jiajie began to panic, he stared at his brother in a daze, stunned.

Qi Jiahao didn't say much, he quickly turned around, jumped on the war horse, pointed at his younger brother with a horsewhip and said: "Go back and tell my uncle, even if I die in Haizhou City, I will never lose the ......face of my ancestors!" ”

Before he finished his words, he saw Qi Jiajie suddenly pounce on him and drag Qi Jiahao off the horse.

Qi Jiahao suddenly became angry, "What do you want to do?!" ”

Qi Jiajie pushed Qi Jiahao away, got on the horse by himself, and then tightened the reins of his war horse in his hand, and rushed out with the horse's belly.

After rushing out for a few zhang, Qi Jiajie turned around and said loudly: "The general has an order first, but if there is a vicious battle, the father and son are together, the father and son will stay, and the brother will stay together, and the brother will leave and the brother will stay...... Brother, go back and tell my uncle that even if I die in Haizhou City, I will never lose the face of my ancestors......! ”

The voice was still echoing, and the figure was gone.

Qi Jiahao's eyes were hot, and he squatted on the ground at once.

But then he quickly got up, wiped it with his cuffs, and resolutely returned to the dock, and said to the boatman: "According to the general's order, the military situation is urgent, and the ferry boat will go south to report to Hangzhou Mansion!" ”

The boatman was a little dumbfounded, and said: "Master, this is a ferry, Hangzhou Mansion is two thousand miles away, not to mention the wind and waves on the way, even if the wind and waves are calm, this boat will not be able to reach Hangzhou Mansion." ”

"Don't be verbose, you just need to go to Wusongkou, and there will be a sailor cruising there...... Don't worry, the ship is wrecked, I will compensate you! ”

The boatman smiled bitterly, the ship was wrecked and his life was gone, and it was useless for you to compensate me for ten.

But although I think so in my heart, I also know that the military situation is urgent.

So, untying the cable and erecting the sails, a flat-bottomed boat, stunned as a big ship, sailed south.
