Seeing that the 'water thieves' could not get close, Dodd ordered the anchor to break through, and before his subordinates could carry out the anchor, he saw more than a dozen 'water thieves' suddenly appear at the stern of the ship, holding a repeater crossbow in their hands and shooting the crew guards;

'Zhuge Repeater' is suitable for medium and long-distance combat, and the attack speed of the bow and arrow is several times higher under the burst; at this moment, the Dodd side occupies the bow of the ship, without any cover to cover it, how can it withstand the attack of the repeater, and the casualties are heavy for a while.

Seeing this, Yu Deshui quickly organized a counterattack, under the front and rear attacks, Dodd suffered from the enemy on his back, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ordered the big ship to dock, preparing to destroy this gang of 'water thieves' on land.

When the three big ships slowly approached the shore, Dodd quickly ordered some people to stay behind to guard the big ships, and led the remaining seventy or eighty subordinates to abandon the ship and land ashore, forming a defensive formation, wanting to fight to the death with Yu Deshui and others.

Seeing this, Yu Deshui was overjoyed in his heart, and led his men to immediately control the big ship, and at the same time, the hidden naval army under the other two big ships immediately launched an attack and seized the big ship.

Seeing this, Dodd was immediately shocked, but he did not expect that there were still people in ambush by the 'water thieves', and then he approached the big ship again, wanting to regain control of the big ship.

At this moment, Xu Biao led the musket team to suddenly attack, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, and Dodd was in a dilemma, and he was so angry that he screamed.

Seeing that the three large ships changed hands, and his subordinates died one after another under the fire of firearms, Dodd gritted his teeth in desperation, and led the remaining fifty or sixty people to frantically rush towards the musket team, trying to break through and escape.

Seeing this, Xu Biao hurriedly ordered the musket team to stop firing, because the musket team did not have an advantage in close combat; Drew his sword to face Dodd, and in an instant, the two sides fought in one place, and the shouts of killing shook both sides of the Yellow River.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army is indeed strong, and under one look, the Daming musket team will be damaged, and these new army musket teams that have just been incorporated are obviously not the opponents of the generals led by Dodd.

Seeing this, Yu Deshui was in a hurry, and was just about to lead the sailors on the big ship to participate in the battle; Suddenly saw a black shadow instantly slaughtered into the battle circle, and where it passed, the dead soldiers of the Jin army fell to the ground one after another, bleeding from their necks, and their deaths were tragic.

The attacker is naturally the dragon soul dragon six, if it is to block the enemy head-on, Long Liu may not be able to withstand many Jin army dead soldiers, but now the two sides are fighting together, and Long Liu is the best at raiding and assassinating;

With the help of the 'mechanical arm' to increase the speed, it is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, flickering left and right, flickering forward and backward, and every shot is a fatal blow to the dead soldier of the Jin Army, like a ghost in the night, the life of the reaper Jin Jun.

Yu Deshui stood on the side of the boat and watched dumbfounded, along the way he thought that Long Liu was just a minor child, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, killing like a mustard, fast as lightning, killing with a move, ruthless and ruthless.

Xu Biao was fighting with Dodd, and when he swept away, he was also taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect Long Liu to be so good, worthy of being His Royal Highness's personal guard, and suddenly his morale increased greatly, and he waved the sword in his hand to kill Dodd.

Dodd began to be full of confidence and prepared to fight his way out of the encirclement, but at this moment he saw that he was being harvested by a young man like a god of death, and he was immediately terrified, how could he have the heart to fight again, and wanted to flee from this place like a frightened bird.

Jumping out of the circle with a false move, he ran with his legs, Xu Biao chased after him with his sword, and shouted in his mouth: "Where to run!" ”

At this moment, the Jin army tried to be killed by Long Liu, and the rest of the people saw that the Lord was about to flee, where did they still have the will to insist on fighting, and they scattered in all directions.

The musketeers had suffered heavy casualties before, and at this moment there was no room for them to escape, and the musketeers then covered up and shot one after another, and the backs of the dead soldiers of the Jin army were completely exposed under the muzzle of the guns and became a live target; After a gunshot, the dead soldiers of the Jin army fell to the ground one after another.

Dodd was so frightened that his soul was scared, and he ran away, panicking like a lost dog, and Xu Biao then chased after him; Seeing this, Long Liu showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, and his body suddenly jumped forward, piercing ten meters away, and under several consecutive beats, he surpassed Xu Biao and pressed on Dodd in front.

Xu Biao gasped when he saw this, and his heart was inexplicably surprised! Is this still human? How is it so fast?

Long Liu was as fast as lightning, and quickly caught up with Dodd, raised the dagger in his hand, and slashed at the back of Dodd's neck; Seeing this, Xu Biao hurriedly shouted: "Brother Long, you want to live!" ”

When Long Liu heard this, there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, it was much more difficult to ask a killer to capture the enemy than to kill a person; In desperation, the dagger in Long Liu's hand deviated slightly, avoiding the vital point, and with a 'poof', it was slashing at Dodd's left shoulder, cutting off his shoulder.

Dodd screamed, his body was unstable and unbalanced, and he fell to the ground, covering his injured shoulder with one hand, howling in pain, and bleeding from his shoulder.

Xu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to look at Dodd, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the living Dodd is far more useful than the dead Dodd; So, he ordered his subordinates to take Dode away and bandage his wounds, and then interrogate him strictly when he returned to Qingzhou.

Subsequently, they boarded the big ship to inspect the loading of materials, and the three large ships seized, one of which was loaded with sulfur smoke and nitrate, the second was a whole barrel of oil, and the third was loaded with a full ship of grain, which was tens of thousands of catties.

Xu Biao was overjoyed, these three ships are all treasures, sulfur smoke and fire oil are military supplies; What makes Xu Biao happiest is that there is still a large boatload of grain, and now there is a famine in Qingzhou, and the food in the 'Dragon and Tiger Army' army is also in short supply, with this batch of food, it is enough for the 'Dragon and Tiger Army' to survive for a while.

In addition to these, a small wooden box was also found in the cabin, when it was opened, Xu Biao almost jumped up with joy, there were millions of silver tickets stored in the wooden box, and this interception was a big profit.

After the inventory was completed, Xu Biao instructed Yu Deshui to lead the naval army and escort the three large ships to return to Qingzhou by detouring the inland river, and they returned by the same route;

This time it can be regarded as a big victory, and it is a full load!

King Xin and his entourage entered Yansui Mansion, which is also an important town on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, and Yansui Mansion and Datong Mansion are not the same; The walls were broken, the streets were empty and depressed, and only groups of chaotic beggars were left begging along the streets.

Shaanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, with vast and sparsely populated land, thin wasteland, rapid soil erosion, and most of the undeveloped idle wasteland; Due to the lack of water, the crops that can be grown are limited, and they are basically harvested by the sky.

In addition, the drought and insect plague in Shaanxi and Gansu have caused the people to suffer unspeakably and be displaced; Merchants and vendors fled, shops closed, the economy declined, and the government had no tax revenues at all.

Seeing this scene, the people of King Xin were touched by the scene, and the disaster was serious and imminent; However, the imperial court is not able to catch it, and it is going all out to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and it is useless; The treasury of the DPRK and China can only barely maintain the needs of the border army.

Yansui military affairs are under the jurisdiction of Pingxi Wangzu Dashou, because of the continuous war on the border outside the Guan, most of the Yansui defenders were transferred to the Yongliang Longxi area of Gansu Province, stationed at the Jiayu Pass of the Great Wall, to resist foreign captivity.

After staying in Yansui for three days and learning more about the disaster, King Xin's people stopped staying and went south to Xi'an; After half a month of travel, I passed through Yan'an Mansion and finally came to the outside of Xi'an Mansion.

Xi'an Mansion, Shaanxi Province, is the imperial city of Kyoto for the emperors of previous dynasties, known as Chang'an and Hojing in ancient times, one of the four ancient capitals, is an important birthplace of Chinese national civilization, and the starting point of the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty; It has been the political, economic and cultural center of China for more than 1,000 years.

Successively Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang and other thirteen dynasties built their capitals here, after the expansion and construction of successive dynasties, has become the political and cultural center of the northwest, the geographical position is superior, the north of the Wei River, the Loess Plateau, the south of the Qinling Mountains, the east and Weinan Luonan junction, the west and Meixian, Taibai border;

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, established the Han Dynasty, set the capital in Guanzhong, and named the local Chang'an Township "Chang'an", which means "long-term peace and stability".

On the basis of Xianyang Palace in Qindu City, Changle Palace was changed to Weiyang Palace; After the opening of the Silk Road, Chang'an became the center of civilization of the Han Dynasty, known as "Rome in the west and Chang'an in the east".

Marco Polo traveled here and wrote: "The city is magnificent, and it is the capital of the kingdom of Jingzhao... This city is prosperous in industry and commerce, produces a lot of silk, and the people live in order to make all kinds of gold brocade silk silk...... Everything that is necessary for life is found in the city, and it is very cheap. ”

After the Tang Dynasty fixed the capital of Chang'an, the Sui Daxing City was changed to Chang'an City, and the additions and expansions were carried out, and the Daming Palace was built in the northeast of the original Waiguo City; After that, the city wall, the city tower, the Xingqing Palace and other buildings were continuously built, which lasted 72 years, the layout was neatly planned, the east and west were strictly symmetrical, and it was divided into three major parts: the palace city, the imperial city and the outer outline city.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Shaanxi Road was placed, and Yongxing Military Road was placed later; After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, unified China, he intended to move the capital to Chang'an, but finally gave up.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the scope of Chang'an City was still used, and Chang'an was called Jingzhao Mansion, and the third son of Yuan Shizu was busy with the king of Anxi, guarding its place and building the palace of Anxi; Then Jingzhao Mansion was changed to Anxi Road.

It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty that the existing pattern of Xi'an was formed, and the name of Xi'an originated from the Ming Dynasty; In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the general Xu Da marched into Fengyuan Road and changed Fengyuan Road to Xi'an Mansion.

After the Ming prince Zhu Biao once toured Xi'an, he proposed to move the capital to Xi'an, but unfortunately he died of illness after returning to Nanjing, otherwise the capital of the Ming Dynasty is very likely to move the capital to Xi'an.

The city of Xi'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, solid as gold, the city wall surrounds the rectangle, the wall is high and the bottom is wide, the total length is twenty-four miles; East Changle Gate, Xi'an Dingmen, South Yongning Gate, North Anyuan Gate, City Gate four, the City Gate is composed of arrow tower and city tower.

The main body revolves around the idea of defensive operations, the thickness of the city wall is greater than the height, stable as a mountain, and the top of the wall can run a carriage, which can also be used for soldier drills; There are a series of military defense facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, gate towers, arrow towers, main towers, corner towers, enemy towers, parapet walls, and battlements.

The city wall of Xi'an was built and perfected according to the foundation of the imperial city of the Sui and Tang dynasties under the guidance of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and listening to Liu Bowen's admonition of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king".
