Chapter 022: The Longquan Army was besieged late at night

After Situ Jing's boat was a little more stable, Situ Jing immediately got up and picked up the long axe and shouted, "Cut off the chains and break through." ”

Situ Jing shouted and rushed onto the pontoon bridge with a long axe, at this time Yu Huang's soldiers on the pontoon bridge all fell to the ground, so Situ Jing took the opportunity to use the long axe to cut the chains connecting the ship, and the dead soldiers who did not fall into the river also rushed to the pontoon bridge with a long axe or sword to cut the chains.

Soon the sergeant Yu Huang on the pontoon bridge stood up, so Situ Jing and the others fought with the sergeant Yu Huang while cutting the chains.

Suddenly, a spear pierced into Situ Jing's right armpit, and then another spear pierced into Situ Jing's left armpit, and the long axe in Situ Jing's hand suddenly fell off, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The two soldiers who stabbed Situ Jing with their spears pulled out their spears at the same time, and then stabbed the spears into Situ Jing's body again, and then pulled out their spears.

"Poof" Situ Jing fell into the river with a face full of despair and unwillingness, and soon sank into the water.

Subsequently, the remaining dead soldiers were also shot down into the river, and the entire army was soon wiped out.

In the early morning of the next day, in the mountainous area north of Lishui City, in the Longquan Army camp, Qin Huairen sent several soldiers to investigate the situation outside Lishui City.

Half an hour later, Qin Huairen learned about the situation outside Lishui City.

Qin Huairen thought of it: The thieves are numerous, and the defense is tight, I have to cooperate with the defenders in the city to have a chance to break the enemy.

Qin Huairen thought about it, so he ordered people to go and prepare boats, door panels, long axes, long forks and other materials.

That night, Qin Huairen said to all the soldiers of the Longquan Army: "Now that the thieves are numerous and the defense is tight, we need to cooperate with the defenders in the state city to have the possibility of breaking the thieves." Now someone needs to enter the city to deliver the news, I wonder if there are warriors who are willing to go? ”

All the soldiers knew that this trip was dangerous, and they would die or even have no life, so they didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Qin Huairen said again: "Those who wish to go will be rewarded with fifty yuan." ”

As the saying goes, "there must be brave men under heavy rewards", as soon as Qin Huairen's words came out, many soldiers expressed their willingness to go.

Qin Huairen selected thirty soldiers and ordered them to take a boat through Daxi to break through Lishui City at night, and use fireworks as the name after entering the city.

When the thirty Longquan soldiers came to the front of the pontoon bridge built by Yu Huang's army on the river by boat, they saw the fire flickering on the pontoon bridge, and there were many figures.

"How can this be passed? Let's go back. A Longquan soldier said timidly to the people on the same boat.

"This is simply going to die, let's go back quickly, it won't be good if the thieves find out later." Another man on the boat urged.

The rowers immediately turned the bow of the boat and rowed back, and the other boaters also turned their bows and went back.

When the thirty Longquan soldiers landed on the shore, one of them suddenly asked the crowd, "Do you think Lu Yo is dead or not?" ”

"Didn't the Qin County Order swear that Lu Yo was not dead?"

"Not necessarily, maybe Qin Huairen did it to calm people's hearts, and I often swear and break my oath, and it's not okay."

The questioner said: "If Lu Yo is dead, Lu Ji is still just an uncrowned boy, and he will definitely not be able to serve the public, in my opinion, the state city will not be able to defend for long, so we might as well escape." ”

"Yes, if you don't go back, let's escape."

Then the thirty Longquan soldiers all fled together, and five of them were ready to flee to Wenzhou overnight, so they rushed in the direction of Qingtian County, but they were surrounded by two teams of Yu Huang's army as soon as they walked not far.

It turned out that thirty Longquan soldiers were discovered by a Yu Huang soldier when they turned the bow of the boat in front of the pontoon bridge, so two teams chased after Huang along the coast.

In the Longquan Army camp in the mountainous area north of Lishui City, Qin Huairen tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept thinking in his heart: Can those thirty people break through into the city? What if they fail? Will the people on duty at the top of the mountain be lazy to sleep and miss the fireworks set off in the city? Can the combination of internal and external strategies succeed in defeating the enemy?

Suddenly, Qin Huairen heard a commotion outside the tent, so he hurriedly went out of the tent to check.

"The Ming Mansion is not good, the thieves are coming. The Ming Mansion is not good, and the thieves are coming. ”

Qin Huairen heard such a shout before he left the tent, and the voice was getting closer and closer to him, Qin Huairen couldn't help but think angrily: Bastard, I'm going to kill him.

As soon as Qin Huairen came out of the tent, he saw that all the soldiers came out in a panic, gathered in the open space, and some of them were not wearing their coats; There are those who wear their coats but do not tie them; Some of them didn't even have weapons.

"Weapons, take your own weapons." Qin Huairen hurriedly shouted at the soldiers.

"Report to the Ming Mansion, the thieves are coming, and there are many, many people." The shouting man ran in front of Qin Huairen and reported.

"Where did the thieves come from? How far is that? How do you know that there are many people at night and you can't see clearly? Qin Huairen asked.

"Thieves are coming from the south. According to this, it is less than ten miles. The thieves carried torches, and they grew and long, and they went on and on. ”

Qin Huairen immediately pulled out his sword, slashed the person who reported it with a sword, and said angrily: "Disturb the hearts of our army, you should be killed!" ”

The soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and they were in an uproar.

"Whew! I, no one is in an uproar, obey orders. Qin Huairen shouted.

When the soldiers heard this, they quieted down and looked at Qin Huairen.

So Qin Huairen ordered: "Don't panic, everyone, tidy up your clothes, bring your own equipment, and gather here in a queue within twenty numbers." Disband. ”

As soon as Qin Huairen's words fell, some soldiers began to sort out their clothes; Some of the soldiers went back to their tents to get clothes or weapons.

Qin Huairen personally counted the numbers: "One, two, three, four." ”

At this time, a soldier ran back to the camp from the east and ran straight towards Qin Huairen.

Seeing this, Qin Huairen instructed a neatly dressed and well-equipped soldier in front of him, "You go ahead and count." ”

"Five, six..."

"Tell the Ming Mansion that there are thieves coming from the east, the number is unknown, and it is less than ten miles away." The soldiers who returned from the east of the camp reported to Qin Huairen.

When Qin Huai heard this, he secretly said that it was not good, and thought in his heart: It seems that it is very likely that the people who broke through into the city were captured, revealing the location of our army, and the thieves wanted to surround us. ”

At this time, another soldier ran back to the camp from the west and reported to Qin Huairenyu: "Yuming Mansion, there are thieves coming from the west, it seems that there are quite a few people, and it is less than ten miles away. ”

Then, another soldier ran back to the camp from the north and reported to Qin Huairenyu: "Tell the Ming Mansion that the thieves have killed them from the north, and there are quite a few of them, and they are less than ten miles away. ”

Qin Huairen couldn't help frowning and thought: I really didn't guess wrong, the thieves want to surround our army, I have to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the thieves has not yet been fully formed, and the handsome army can break through. The main force of the thieves was set in the south, Longquan was in the west, and I led the army to break through from the northwest.
