On the battlefield where the Jingnan army had already retreated, the people and auxiliary soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. However, in the newly occupied temporary camp, in a somewhat solemn atmosphere, a self-criticism meeting of reflection and summary was held.

As the deputy of Wang Chongba, the right general of the navy, and the actual person in charge of the land battle, Wang Ziming (Wang Yanzhang) also reprimanded loudly:

"It's really embarrassing, do you think that you can underestimate the world's characters after following the governor of the capital, fighting a few years of downwind battles, sweeping away some Tutuan Township Warriors, and training town soldiers?"

"The loyal and martial arts of the Jingnan Army are also the old opponents who have crossed and slaughtered the righteous army many times in the north, why don't you pay more attention to it. Anyway, they're all old brothers who came over from the rebels. ”

"Not being familiar with geography and being ambushed is not enough to be an excuse, what matters is perseverance and active response; How do you do it in the military in peacetime, and how can you encounter sudden disadvantages and disadvantages, you can't play three or four points even if you don't have ten points?"

"Why didn't the three battalions that rushed into the enemy position and were besieged not panic so much, but the battalions that were responsible for receiving them were rushed out and shaken one after another? Why has the change of formation in the face of impact not been completed for a long time? ”

"When it comes to the critical moment when things are approaching, we have to rely on the firearms of the car formation and the appearance team to save the situation. Isn't it possible to play with all your might and fight with your heart without the cooperation of firearms? ”

"Instead, a battalion of people who came forward came back to attack the ambush. And why did he run away from most of the enemy, and in the end, he had to rely on the support of the sailor to stop the enemy's retreat. ”

"If it weren't for the navy sending ships to trace the Baiheliang at the same time, and forcibly landing on the shore as a bluff feint, I am afraid that the defeated enemy will retreat back into Fuling City to defend it. And why only caught one Jingnan Du Yu Hou Song Tianlian. ”

"Along the way, the expected annihilation battle, you have been beaten into a defeat battle several times, you will not blush and be ashamed, and I still feel shameless to support the follow-up support of the Governor's Mansion. Now the old thief of the Song Dynasty escaped with the tooth soldiers, but he didn't know how many troubles and hands he left behind. ”

"Everyone needs to reflect and introspect. Officers above the rank of lieutenant of the corresponding battalion must then come up with a report on the specific situation and supplementary information to ensure that everyone can pass the test. ”

At this time, an urgent report came from outside again:

"Report, the remnants of the defenders in Fuzhou City have begun to set fires. The sailors who have landed need support. ”

- I'm the dividing line -

On the bank of the blocked water in Fangzhou, a successive chase has also come to an end.

"I finally escaped."

Yu Donglou looked at the city that was faintly visible in the distance, and then looked at his sister who had lost a circle of cheeks, and his brother Yu Eshui, who had become unkempt, and couldn't help but feel sad and indignant in his heart. Why should my homecoming, which is bent on saving and redeeming something, turn into a nightmare of pursuit and escape?

However, he also learned from this that the family that he regarded as relying on in the past, under the surface of the scenery and warmth on weekdays, how much energy and influence are contained in the land of ten miles and eight towns.

Whether it is the most despicable idler, scoundrel, evil boy, or the local regiment in the township, the officials, or those families with rich surnames. was actually mobilized by a word from his own family and joined in the search for him, the "unscrupulous son who escaped with family heirlooms".

So later, even Yu Eshui, who was on the road to purchase food and materials, had to change his appearance. Despite this, he was almost recognized when he passed by the county gate of Zhushan County, and he could only leave in the dust before the other party could react.

Among them is also one of the same years with which he had a very good relationship. On the one hand, he said that he wanted to repay and entertain him well and kill chickens and buy fish, and asked his wife and old mother to accompany his sister, but on the other hand, he ran to Lizheng to report the news under the pretext of buying fish.

If it weren't for Yu Eshui, who was acting separately, he found him first, and jumped off the wall before the crowd of people with sticks and ropes rushed in; I'm afraid I'm really going to fall here. This pitiful and hateful accident also hit him very hard.

But in any case, they had arrived near the state city of Fangling, which was already the official place of the Taiping military and horses; I believe that no matter how much the power of the family covers the sky in the township, it may not be able to reach this side.

Looking at the cyan Kunpeng flag fluttering on the head of Zaicheng in the distance, Yu Donglou felt as if he was in a different world, and he couldn't wait to step into it. But before he could take a few steps, his sister's face turned pale and slumped, apparently because of the fatigue of the escape on the road, which made her unable to bear it any longer

So, Yu Donglou cured and touched the only remaining copper in the bag, and found a tea shed near the city gate in Chengxiafang City, sat down to take a breath, and paid for a bowl of sour white syrup.

At least here he could clearly see the guards standing under the door vigilantly searching for each other, and he gained some sense of security. Then he stayed in Eshui to take care of his sister, went to the steamed cake stall on the street, bought a few gray mixed noodles steamed cakes, and asked for coarse brown steamed cakes for his sister.

When he turned around, he was suddenly struck by someone, and pushed back to the edge of the stall; Yu Donglou couldn't help but shout:

"You guys... This is.. ”

Then his voice was abruptly stopped by a sharp object, and his raised arm was held tightly and he could not move. Then a slightly familiar voice sighed:

"Xiao Jiulang-kun, I'm really sorry.."

Yu Donglou couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and his whole body stiffened; When I looked at it, I saw that I was an old servant who grew up watching the children of their clan grow up. It's just that the other party, who has always been kind and kind-eyed, has no quarrel with the world, but there is some gloomy and sympathetic skin and laughter:

"This time, Feng Weng specially explained, I want to invite you to go home, they are all their own members of the family, what is there that can't be said?"

"Please also ask Xiao Jiulangjun to stick to this hard work and fatigue, don't make it difficult for us errands."

Although he said this, the sharp weapon on the waist of the strong man behind him became more and more forceful.

"You guys... You guys are so presumptuous. ”

Yu Donglou couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and glanced at the city gate not far away with his eyes.

"Xiao Jiulang-kun, don't make a mistake about yourself, otherwise what will the little lady do if she has a good one."

However, Ah Gui interrupted with a sigh as if he had seen his thoughts.

"You... You.. How dare you?"

Hearing this, Yu Donglou couldn't help but be shocked, and then noticed that in the tea stall diagonally opposite, his sister and brother were gone.

Then Yu Donglou, who was distraught and at a loss, saw a mule cart with a coarse cloth curtain slowly driving over from the side of the street; At this time, there were three Ding Zhuang holding short guns and wearing patrol vests on the side of the street.

"Help...

Yu Donglou couldn't help but open his mouth and wanted to scream for a while, but he was blocked by a big slap, and only the murmur of babbling and struggling remained; And the sharp object on his waist pierced his flesh and oozes blood.

Despite this, this movement still caused the patrolman over there to turn his head sideways, and the first one asked in a somewhat impatient voice:

"What's the matter?"

"I'm really sorry, my family Langjun is guilty of a fishy fever."

The old servant hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, and then stuffed something into the other party's hand, so the words of interrogation became:

"Then don't go away quickly, don't get in the way of others."

Later, Yu Donglou, who was regarded as a patient, could only let people hold it and watch this hope fly away, and his vision was blocked by the mule cart.

"Xiao Jiulang-kun is really not worry-free; I won't tell you the truth.,Even if you enter this Fangling City.,This family also has a way to invite you out.。。 ”

The corner of the curtain that was suddenly blown by the wind gave a glimpse of the younger sister who was tied up and gagged, and another pair of thick arms pressed upside down on the car board, struggling with tears and helplessness, and scratching her face with many blood marks. And Yu Eshui, who was in the carriage, was even more bloody and fell to the side, not knowing his life and death.

At this moment, something broke in Yu Donglou's mind, and it was like something that had accumulated all of a sudden; And desperately grinned to cover his palm, and broke free for a moment of respite and then shouted with all his strength:

"Heaven makes up for the average, and recreates peace."

Suddenly, the crowd scattered on the left and right was suddenly startled and retreated, and suddenly revealed such a group of people who pressed their hands on their backs and surrounded them, and desperately stuffed people into the car. And Yu Donglou, who shouted out, only felt that he was stabbed in the waist with a sharp weapon, and in an instant, the strength of his whole body was scattered in the severe pain.

Then he fell to the ground with no strength, and then a large area of the ground was soaked under him with flowing blood. And in his last blurred vision, many pairs of uniform suede boots rushed closer, and turned into roars and whistles that grew away from him.

"Don't be that thief"

"How dare you hurt someone in the street."

"him a pig and a dog."

"Quickly surround it, don't run one."

- I'm the dividing line -

Outside Yangzhou, ships loaded with tea, cloth and ironware from Dongting and other places upstream are also slowly approaching the wharf; The sailor who was far away on the river with the banner of Taiping began to raise his sails and turn his head as if he was familiar with it, and went to the water village outside the city of Dantu on the opposite bank.

Gao Yue, the defense envoy of Chuzhou, who was watching from the head of Yangzhou City, was also watching with concern these tea bags and cloth bundles that were loaded and unloaded from the river boats and carried by heavy carriages. Seeing this scene, the soldiers and servants on the Yangzhou horse wharf let out some kind of accustomed cheers and shouts.

Today's two watches are completed, and I want them all again, and children are picky eaters
