In the morning light, an army of more than 1,000 people left the dragon weaving, boarded the ship at Nanjin outside the city, and went down the river, advancing downstream to Quyi, where they wanted to drive away the thieves who attacked the county seat and demonstrate the military might of Wanchun Kingdom.

Both sides of the river were lush with reeds, swaying in the breeze, and from a distance it seemed that there were countless people hiding in them, but the soldiers did not feel the slightest nervousness, and many of them were napping in the boats.

Today, for some reason, the general did not wait for dawn to let people blow the horn to wake everyone up, and before he came to his senses, he was pulled to the school yard to assemble, saying that he was going to Quyi to suppress the bandits, and everyone went out of the city and got on the boat with sleepy eyes, and it was just dawn at this time.

In this era, it was common to eat two meals a day, and ordinary people never ate breakfast, and they had no spare time to maintain the standard of living of three meals a day, so the soldiers could only sleep back when they got on the ship, so as to nourish their spirits to kill the enemy.

"These thieves are so bold, why did they come up with Qu Yi's idea?" Someone complained, cursing the thieves who attacked Qu Yi, "It made us not even sleep." ”

"They want to go to Longbian Port to make a fortune, but they can't beat it, so they can only rob Quyi.... Bah! Qu Yi broke the city, what is there to grab! ”

"What's there to grab? O woman! ”

Someone spat and talked about it, and when they heard "woman", everyone was in good spirits, but then they sighed and continued to nap.

If back then, when everyone was not an official soldier, they attacked villages and even county seats, and they would have to rob a few women to be happy, but since they became officials and soldiers, they wanted to save face, so they were more strict, and they had no thoughts about these little soldiers.

Entered the city and stationed, the big and small leaders all made a fortune to reap the benefits, the soldiers occasionally ate some residues, and they were not qualified to rob women in a grand manner, compared to the thieves who attacked Qu Yi and robbed them now, the treatment of the other party is really enviable.

They are officials and soldiers, so they have to abide by the "law", the other party is a thief, they can do whatever they want, and if the city is broken, there will be women, and they will not benefit from recovering the county seat.

The benefits are all taken by the officials, and they have to risk their lives to kill the enemy, what a bother...

"Don't sleep, don't sleep! A bunch of slackers!! The little leader shouted, striking the boat gang with a stick, making a "bang-bang-bang" sound, "Cheer up, lest anyone lay in ambush!" ”

"Boss, who will ambush this early in the morning... It's still far from Quyi..."

Everyone complained, one by one reluctantly, and when the little leader saw this, he wanted to find an unlucky ghost to stand up, and raised his stick to make a gesture to fight, but was shot in the face by a feathered arrow.

He covered his face and took a few steps back, and fell on his back on the deck, blood splattered everywhere and he died on the spot, and the soldiers did not react from the change for a while, only to hear the sudden commotion on both sides of the strait, and then his own ships were shrouded in a rain of arrows.

Many people were caught off guard by arrows and fell into the water, and there were people shouting "enemy attack" on all ships, and the generals braved the arrows to direct a counterattack, but the ships were caught by ambushes on both sides of the strait and suffered heavy casualties.

Soon after, the ambush soldiers even fired rockets to set the ships on fire, and many of them jumped into the water to escape, trying to flee downstream with the current, but were caught by many enemy ships swimming upstream.

Armed with spears, bows and arrows, the crew hunted the survivors as if they were hunting, and the corpses on the river were increasing, and the original magnificent fleet turned into torches to illuminate the two banks.

。。。。。。

In the afternoon, Long Bian and Li Fozi led the civil and military officials of Wanchun State to stand at the head of the city, and they all raised their eyes to look at Nanjin not far away, their expressions were both nervous and expectant, hoping that their own army could defeat the invading Zhou army.

Early this morning, the army rushing to Quyi by boat was ambushed halfway, suffered heavy casualties and was almost completely annihilated, and the boats that were walking behind ran back when they saw that the situation was not good, and the big ships did not run away, but finally a few small boats ran back to report the news.

The ambush site was only more than 20 miles away from the dragon weaving, and according to the survivors' descriptions, the people who ambushed them were obviously not thieves.

There is only one possibility, that is, the Zhou army has arrived, and the other party has moved unexpectedly fast, which is less than ten days before the envoy of the king of Xiyang of the Zhou State left the dragon weaving.

When Li Fozi heard the news, he could no longer maintain the demeanor of the king, and his face turned pale with fright on the spot, and he had to be supported to stand still, the main force of his army was not in the dragon weaving, and the Zhou army had already touched the vicinity of the dragon weaving silently.

Like his throat being held against the enemy's dagger, Li Fozi was almost out of breath, his first thought was to abandon the city and run away, running somewhere else to avoid the edge of the Zhou army, and Long Bian, then let others guard him first.

But after thinking about it, the Zhou army came so quickly, I'm afraid that there are not many people, otherwise after taking Qu Yi yesterday, he should have rushed to the dragon weaving overnight to sneak attack, but he misled him with a silk book, and it must be that the troops are not enough, so he has not been able to catch it.

Sure enough, when it was close to noon, the other party released a few prisoners back to Longbian, and also brought a letter of persuasion from the commander of the Zhou army, in which the other party said that the army was about to come to the city, and advised him to know the current affairs and surrender quickly, and he could save the lives of the whole family.

Li Fozi and Wenwu pondered for a while, and felt that this was a bluff by the commander of the Zhou army, trying to trick them into surrendering, otherwise if the troops were really sufficient, they would definitely besiege the city first before shooting to persuade them to surrender into the city.

The main force of Wanchunguo's army is still there, but it is not in the dragon at this time, Li Fozi felt that the commander of the Zhou army did not know the situation of the dragon and wanted to bluff him into surrendering, but this letter of persuasion was a snake to add, exposing the nature of the other party's lust and inwardness.

Therefore, Li Fozi decided to plan and sent an envoy to Qu Yi to see the Zhou army and say that he was willing to surrender, but there were many reluctant subordinates, hoping that the commander of the Zhou army could give him a grace period of two days, let him deal with the relevant affairs, and open the city gate when the time came.

At the same time, he sent people out of the city to mobilize troops from all over the country to "enter the king of Beijing Qin".

This is a plan to delay the army, but Li Fozi also knew that the other party might not believe it, so he also did a third thing: set up an ambush on both sides of the Nanjin River, once the other party went upstream, it would be a self-defeating net.

Li Fozi was sure that he would defeat the enemy in Nanjin, because there was a precedent for this.

That was a long time ago, when the Jiankang court was still surnamed Sima, there were heavenly masters Sun En, Lu Xun successively rebelled, and then Lu Xun entrenched in Lingbiao Guangzhou for several years, suddenly raised troops to the north, and finally the soldiers came to Jiankang City, almost broke the city and became the emperor.

However, the success fell short, Lu Xun's army was defeated like a mountain and was chased by the Jin army all the way, and finally he could only lead his troops to attack Jiaozhou Longbian, trying to regroup on this basis, but as a result, he was ambushed and defeated by Jiaozhou Assassin Shi in Nanjin, and Lu Xun had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water.

Li Fozi hopes to reproduce that scene back then and defeat the Zhou army, which is very likely to attack, so will the Zhou army come? Definitely.

The envoy he sent had already returned, saying that the commander of the Zhou army had agreed to enter the city in two days, accept the surrender of the civil and military officials of Jiaozhou, and promised not to blame the past.

The other party is so "tolerant and generous", in Li Fozi's opinion, it is to stabilize him, he feels that the commander of the Zhou army is to paralyze himself from defense, and then immediately send troops to attack Long Bian, so he must be in the trap he set near Nanjin!

"King, King! Zhou Jun is here! ”

When Li Fozi heard this, he looked at Nanjin, and sure enough, a fleet appeared in the direction of its downstream, and cavalry also appeared in the wilderness on the south bank opposite.

"The king is a god, the Zhou army really came to sneak attack!"

The flattery of others made Li Fozi very useful, but he was more concerned about whether his next ambush would be successful.

Everyone watched quietly with bated breath, and when the opposing fleet entered the ambush zone, only to hear the sound of the horn, the soldiers who were lying in ambush in the reeds on the shore stood up and bent their bows to shoot arrows at the ships.

Arrows rained down, and someone lit a torch to ignite the rocket, and the ambush soldiers on both sides of the river set fire to the boats in the river, only to see the formation of the Zhou army's ships in the thick smoke billowing in chaos, and the cavalry on the south bank was also shot by the arrows and turned around and ran.

Seeing such a scene, the city cheered: "Defeated, defeated!" The Zhou army is defeated! ”
