Early the next morning, Huo Bao, who was still on standby in Jiangpu, received a message from his father, saying that the Chaohu Water Division was going to war, and asked him to reorganize the army and prepare to go to Jinling by boat.

Huo Bao couldn't sit still, stood up, and was very excited.

Jinling, to Jinling!

He immediately sent the order down, and all the troops were on standby.

One time later, Huo Bao and Qiu Wei came in a hurry, bringing the latest news of the scouts.

The boat of Chaohu Sailor House drove from the opposite bank and went down the river to the direction of Jinling.

"Uncle Bao, why did the water master move?" Huo Bao was a little worried.

Huo Bao smiled: "Go to Jinling Shuiguan...... Wait for the news to come, let's go to Jinling on the waterway! ”

Huo Bao's eyes lit up: "Waterway? Then we can't say that we are the first to arrive in Jinling, can we be described as pioneers? ”

Huo Bao nodded and said, "If the Chaohu Water Master fights well, it should be like this!" ”

Qiu Wei also had excitement on his face.

The Scouts were formed for half a year, and the real war only went through the Battle of Dingyuan.

It is none of their business to fight Hezhou, and when they fight Shen County, they all rely on Huo Bao and Shui Jin to exert their power.

hit the Taiping Mansion, and it was not my turn.

Originally, I thought that the Tong soldiers would be used as a partial army to cooperate with the main force of the Chuzhou Army to win the pass, but I didn't expect to fight at all.

The Scouts are up and down, gearing up, waiting for a fight.

"The Great Sage and Li Yuan can't catch up with ......"

Huo Bao's expression was very regretful, but the corners of his mouth could not hide his joy.

After Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan completed the task of Dasheng Pass, Huo Bao did not call them back and asked them to go to Moling Pass to investigate.

Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan, the two partners, first had the credit for purchasing armaments for the Chuzhou Army, but now they can't run away from the investigation.

Hou Xiaoming is also belligerent, if he is here, he will take the lead even if he can't fight.

Now that Hou Xiaoming is not here, Huo Bao and Qiu Wei can take the lead.

Huo Bao looked at it in his eyes, secretly amused, but didn't say anything.

There was no Hou Xiaoming on the left flank of the soldiers, and there was Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan is a real disciple of the general, whether it is his own combat strength or the formation of troops, he will not be worse than Huo Bao and Qiu Wei.

The left flank of the soldiers was originally Huo Bao's main force.

Manpower was arranged on the wharf, and many boats from Chaohu Lake sailors were also dispatched.

There are now 13,000 child soldiers, 3,000 recruits directly stay in Hezhou for training, and there are 10,000 on the Jiangpu side.

By noon, a building ship and more than 100 warships had gathered at Jiangpu Wharf.

The Scouts were also on standby at the docks.

The county lieutenant of Jiangpu is here to accompany him personally.

Huo Bao looked at the sky and was a little anxious.

Dashengguan is seventy miles away from Jinling City, and Daddy and they went to Jinling by land this morning.

In order to guard against the tired army, most of them will not go directly to Jinling City, but will be stationed ten or twenty miles away.

In this way, at noon tomorrow at the latest, Daddy's Chuzhou army will be able to reach Jinling City.

If the Chaohu Water Division can't beat the Jinling Water Pass today, then they will not be able to catch up with Jinling, let alone be pioneers.

The Chaohu Water Division is strong and did not let Huo Bao wait.

At the beginning of Shen, a clipper came back to report the news.

The Chaohu Water Division has taken the Jinling Water Pass.

Huo Bao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, said goodbye to Binjiang County Lieutenant, and took everyone to wait for the boat upstairs.

The soldiers below also boarded the warship one after another.

……

Jinling Shuiguan is outside Jinling City, and there is a waterway of 50 miles from Jiangpu.

From Jiangpu past, it is a boat along the river, and it will arrive in an hour.

Jinling Water is closed, Yu Dutong, Yu Dahai, An Yong and others are all there.

When the shadow of the building boat appeared on the river, it was already the beginning of the unitary period.

"Huo Wuye has courage, but it's too dangerous!"

Yu Dutong muttered to his son and uncle: "Send people to Jiangpu first, if it weren't for the great victory and the guards would have surrendered, then this group of people would be the vanguard...... Now it is also ...... to Jinling The main force is by land, and it wants to level the counties outside Jinling City, but it arranges for child soldiers to go over! ”

Yu Dahai grinned and said, "This is not what it should be, just this one son, isn't it just good to practice!" ”

An Yong groaned: "The left and right are not for merit, I can't say that there are other arrangements in Jinling!" ”

The Chuzhou army behaves broadly, and Huo Wuye also knows people well, and is not greedy for merit.

Huo Bao received news from Huo Wu and knew that there were Jia Yuan brothers and Shi Jin in Jinling, and the boy scouts used to give them a hand, and there would be someone over there.

But Yu Dutong and others didn't know.

Although the task assigned by Huo Wu is only for them to transport people, but with Huo Bao, the young master of the Chuzhou army, who dares to ignore it?

Yu Dutong and the others were waiting here, naturally not just waiting to meet Huo Bao, the little marshal, but not worried about the child soldiers going to Jinling alone, and planned to arrange for Yu Dahai to lead 3,000 men and horses to escort the child soldiers ashore.

The water gate is open.

Huo Bao stood on the deck and bowed his hand when he saw the generals of the sailors.

Yu Dutong and others all returned the salute.

The ship entered the gate, and Huo Bao went off the deck.

He was also very curious.

Jinling Water Pass is not one, but two east and west.

Now the sailor has won the West Water Pass, as well as the East Water Pass.

After taking the Jinling West Water Pass, shouldn't the Chaohu Water Division continue to advance eastward and take the East Water Pass?

Only by capturing the Jinling Dongshui Pass can the waterway be held and prevent the nearby Huainan Province defenders or Yangzhou Navy Division from dispatching.

Although that possibility is very small, Jinling is not an ordinary state capital, so it is better to be well prepared.

"Little Baoye, my eldest son didn't make any effort in the battle of Quarry Rock, and his forehand is itchy, knowing that you are going to enter the city, he can't sit still!" Yu Dutong said with a smile.

The old man is not easy, I am afraid that Huo Bao will be young and vigorous, and he will obviously be a guard in the past, but he will say that he is asking for war.

Huo Bao listened with a smile, but there were doubts in his heart.

Chaohu Water Division everyone came out of the big victory pass early in the morning, and if they want to ask for battle, shouldn't they tell their father?

Then he saw Yu Dahai, who looked a little surprised, and he reacted.

This is all a pretext, and it should be uneasy.

He went to Jinling to help Jia Envoy and others, and the more the better.

Yu Dutong was kind-hearted, Huo Bao also appreciated it, refused to pretend to be confused, and said with a little sincerity: "The two armies will arrive outside Jinling City at noon tomorrow at the earliest...... Now only we, 10,000 people, have passed first, if we have the command to escort you, I would be grateful! ”

Yu Dutong said with a smile: "Since Xiao Baoye has agreed, then let him bring 3,000 people with him and be a pioneer for Xiao Baoye!" ”

Huo Bao looked at the sea, and sure enough, his expression was normal, with a strong fighting spirit.

Huo Bao said vaguely: "It's not early, why don't we set off first?" ”

As for those who are not pioneers, they should be released first.

Everyone is waiting for the war to be red-eyed, how can they be willing to cut their love to others?

The three thousand Chaohu soldiers are all ready to go.

There were a thousand ships on the building, and more than thirty warships.

Jinling City is located between the two water gates of Jinling, not near the Yangtze River, but on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Qinhuai River does not flow from west to east, but from east to west.

However, the water flow is gentle, and even if you go upstream, it is not difficult.

Ten miles of waterways, half an hour smaller.

By the time I saw the Jinling City Gate, it was already dusk.

This west city gate with a sluice gate is under the rule of Shi Jin.

He had received the news before, knowing that the Chuzhou army would divide troops to help, but when he saw the two high-rise ships on the river, as well as the dense warships behind him, he also felt that his scalp was numb.

How many people are here?

Didn't the main force of the Chuzhou Army go to Dasheng Pass and Moling Pass?

As for the fall of Jinling Xishuiguan, he was not surprised.

The Jinling Navy Division led 5,000 main forces out of the nest, but they were all wiped out by the Chuzhou army, and the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates guarding the water pass were naturally even more vulnerable.

Shi Jin stood beside a veteran in armor, knowing the age of the destiny of heaven, looking at the warship below, his eyes shimmering.

……

Yu Dahai stood on the deck, looking at the sluice gate that appeared in front of him, very embarrassed.

The city wall of Jinling City is much taller and more majestic than the Jinling Water Pass.

Huo Bao stood beside the sea and had already seen the figure on the city wall.

It's just too far away to see really.

He thought for a while and said, "Yu Dutong, is there a flag?" ”

Yu Dahai nodded and said, "Yes, a few days ago, it was called a new battle flag made by people!" ”

One less time, the building ship raised the flag.

A huge white flag with the word "Chu" in ink on it.

This is the battle flag of the Chuzhou Army.

The battle flag was displayed here, and there was movement in the sluice gate in front, and the sluice gate slowly rose.

Yu Dahai couldn't hide his surprise on his face and looked at Huo Bao.

Is this what my brother-in-law said?

Does the Chuzhou army have an internal response in Jinling?

An Changsheng stood behind Huo Bao, but he didn't feel strange.

There are 80,000 households inside and outside Jinling City, hundreds of thousands of people.

Attacking such a big city, without a thorough plan, how could the Chuzhou army move lightly?

If there is no internal response, the Jinling defenders will defend the city, and the Chuzhou army will not be able to conquer it as smoothly as other state capitals.

If the main force is really dragged out of Jinling City, it will be returned in three or five days, and after a long time, the newly occupied Hezhou, Luzhou, and Taiping Mansion will have to be repeated.

The building boat entered the West Gate sluice.

Huo Bao had already recognized Shi Jinlai, took a group of people to wait for the boat downstairs, brought him close, bowed down and saluted: "Uncle Shi!" ”

Shi Jin has always been cautious, where he is willing to accept it, and hurriedly avoids it.

Huo Bao saw the old general beside Shi Jin, thought for a while, and said, "This ...... Is it Commander Miao? ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "It's Lord Miao, the senior in our army!" After that, he said to Deputy Commander Miao: "Lord Miao, this is the son of Marshal Huo of the Chuzhou Army......

He had a lot of things in mind.

It seems that the Chuzhou army has other eyes and ears in Jinling, so it will know the situation of the generals in the army well.

Before wanting to make great contributions, the scenery and glory entered the Chuzhou army.

Jia Yuan is right, even if they refuse to respond internally, this Jinling City will not be able to defend against the Chuzhou army.

Their surrender at this time is just "icing on the cake".

"Old man Miao Qian has seen Huo Gongzi!"

The old general clenched his fists in salute.

Huo Bao sideways avoided and said, "Lord Miao is polite!" He also introduced Yu Dahai to Shi Jin and Miao Qian: "This is the eldest son of Chaohu Lake Sailor Yu Dutong, who commands ......"

Shi Jin didn't care, but Miao Qian said: "I haven't seen you for half a year, don't be harmed by Commander Yu!" ”

This tone is obviously very familiar.

Yu Dahai didn't have the usual coolness, and said with a bit of heaviness: "This month has changed repeatedly, it's very bad, if there is no Chuzhou army for help, it can't be said that the two families of Yu An are the same as the old capital, and they have been poison......ed."

Miao Qian's expression changed greatly.

I had heard that the Chaohu Water Division had voted for the Chuzhou Army, but Miao Qian didn't expect that Lao Dutong was dead.

It's just that the three sailors have put the old capital under house arrest.

Lao Dutong is his old superior, and he has been coming and going for more than ten years, so he is also familiar with Yu, An and others.

"What the hell is going on?"

The old general raised his eyebrows.

In order to avenge the grudge of being oppressed for several years, he listened to Shi Jin's lobbying and was willing to join the Chuzhou army.

But the premise is that the Chuzhou army is willing to protect the old capital.

Mentioning this matter, Yu Dahai was still angry, and said that Shou Tianwan's conspiracy and fusion with Luzhou.

"What a 'Daqing' country! Good to have a longevity! ”

The old general gritted his teeth.

Shi Jin was a little afraid.

Fortunately, the Daqing army fought all the way to Hangzhou, not to Jinling.

The methods of this Emperor Daqing, who was born as the right protector of the Maitreya Sect, were too ruthless.

They are all sophistry.

Chaohu Water Division's old capital, a famous general in the world, died under the conspiracy.

The dignified prefect of Luzhou, the old mother and children are hostages, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and they end up with no trace.

Compared with the Daqing Army, the Chuzhou Army has been doing all the tricks along the way.
