Kyoguchi.

This is a famous ferry port, and the northern end of the Jiangnan Canal, which also connects Yuhang, is also here.

Cheng Yanjin and Pei Xingyan partnered for the first time, and they were still a little unfamiliar. Cheng Yanjin prefers to partner with Qin Qiong or Shan Xiongxin or Su Dingfang, and he doesn't understand why Luo Cheng will designate Pei Xingyan to partner with him, in fact, in his heart, he is still a little estranged from Pei Xingyan, the children of Guan Long's generals.

Along the way, the two didn't communicate much.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng has been treated, and the two have partnered, with Cheng Biting Jin as the main general and Pei as the deputy general, which made Cheng Xinshi a little more comforted. Otherwise, he is a thirty-year-old man, and he has to listen to the command of a young man in his teens, which is too shameless.

The river is choppy and the night breeze is blowing.

They crossed the river at night, and everything went very smoothly, and the Jianghuai sailors operated the boats, allowing them to cross the Yangtze River smoothly. At such an important ferry as Jingkou, the rebels only sent a thousand men to guard it.

And it is still shrunk in Yanling County.

Jumping ashore and stepping on the solid ground, Cheng bit Jin Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that they have crossed the river, no one can stop them.

The sailors of the Jianghuai River occupied the ferry, and Cheng Yanjin and Pei Xingyan continued to march with a tacit understanding and went straight to Yanling County.

When he arrived at the city, the city was still sleeping in the dark, and he didn't know that the royal division of the court had already killed the river.

The gates were shut.

Pei Xingyan snorted, "Set up a knife ladder!" ”

Erecting a knife ladder is also a technical job, touching the city, and then inserting the horizontal knife into the city wall, and inserting a knife ladder into the city wall.

Most of the walls are made of rammed earth, so as long as the defenders are not careful, there is no problem with a knife ladder.

This is generally the specialty of scouts or meticulous workers, but Pei Xingyan is actually proficient, he led a team of people directly to the city, all the way quietly.

"General, can you do it?" One of his subordinates asked Cheng to bite the gold.

"It should work, no one is allowed to drop my pants for a while, just wait for the signal over there, and we'll kill it, understand?"

"Don't worry, we will never compare General Pei."

Some for a long time.

When the city gate finally opened slowly, in fact, less than half an hour had passed, and the city gate was opened, and the torches were shaking.

Cheng Yanjin sighed, "I didn't expect this Pei Yuanqing to really have some ability, on!" ”

The rebels in Yanling City were still asleep, but as a result, the officers and troops had poured into the city, and several other city gates were also blocked, and they came to catch turtles in an urn.

Many of the rebels were stuck to their throats in a daze as they couldn't figure out what was going on. If it weren't for Luo Cheng's order, not to kill the people indiscriminately, and not to kill and surrender, these people would probably have become the first rank of the officials and soldiers to ask for merit on their waists.

"Brother Yuanqing, not a single rebel escaped, we suffered only dozens of casualties, so we took Yanling City and Jingkoudu, and captured a thousand rebels, thanks to my brother, you personally led your subordinates into the city and opened the city gate."

Pei Yuanqing didn't think about it and said, "A thousand rebels were just a group of peasant pawns before, what kind of soldiers are they, such a small county town, if it is broken, there is nothing to show off." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded, "Yes, such a small city, there is really nothing to praise the thousand rebels, you say, if our brothers go to Danyang, there are tens of thousands of rebels there, and there is an important figure of the rebels, Zhu Xie, if you can defeat the rebels and capture the Zhu thief alive, it will be a great achievement." ”

Pei Yuanqing was stunned, he didn't expect Cheng to be so bold.

"But the military order given to us by the marshal is to capture Jingkou."

"The military order is like that, yes, but it's not that the plan can't catch up with the changes, our previous task was to occupy Jingkou, but don't we also take Yanling, now Jingkou and Yanling are in hand, let's go and take Danyang by the way, anyway, the thieves don't know that we crossed the river, so we can catch him off guard."

"Isn't that good?" Although Pei Yuanqing said this, he was also moved.

"Let's hand over Jingkou and Yanling City to the Jianghuai soldiers to defend, and we will ride 6,000 steps to Danyang and make a great contribution to him."

"Okay, let's go!"

Cheng Yanjin patted Pei Yuanqing's shoulder, "This is a good brother and a good partner, if you don't go today, then I will definitely not be able to partner you again in the future." ”

Danyang County, Jiangning.

Jiangning is the former Jinling, when the Sui army broke through the southern Chen capital city Jinling, then demolished the Jinling City, and later set up Danyang County here, rebuilt a city next to the old site.

The new city is Jiangning City.

From Jingkou to Jiangning, it is only more than 100 miles.

Since ancient times, Jinling has been the center of the capital when the south was divided, but because Jinling is close to the Yangtze River, if you want to divide the south, you must also rely on the Yangtze River defense line.

However, defending the river must defend Huai, and only by occupying Huainan or even Huaibei can the northern defense line of Jinling be considered safe. If the Huaihe defense line is lost, Jinling will be dangerous, and if the entire Jiangbei is lost, then Jinling will be even more dangerous.

When guarding only one Yangtze River, it is necessary to ensure the safety of Jingkou and Dangtu, the two key ferries on the left and right, otherwise if you break through one place, Jinling will be gone.

It's a pity that the rebels didn't pay much attention to this, or rather, the rebels hadn't captured Jiangning City, so they didn't pay much attention to it after occupying Jingkou.

They arranged a thousand men and horses near Jingkou, but these thousand men and horses did not even play the role of reporting and warning, and they were put to the pot.

Six thousand cavalry, cavalry are all one man and two horses, and the infantry also have a mount and a pack horse, and their mobility speed is very fast. Especially from Jingkou to Jiangning, the road is very flat, and it happens to be autumn at this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, there is no continuous rainy season, and there is no soaring river to block the way.

It only took one day.

Second General Cheng Pei marched 120 miles and rushed to Jiangning.

At this time, the rebels had been besieging Jiangning for nearly two months, but they could not capture it for a long time.

The rebels are already a little slack, under the city of Jiangning, the military camps are continuous, and the rebels come in and out, very casually.

Cheng Biting Jin Pei Xingyan arrived with 6,000 cavalry, and without the slightest stop, he immediately took advantage of his surprise and launched a strong attack on the rebel camp.

6,000 cavalry, although the soldiers are far less than 50,000 rebels.

But the officers and soldiers all had horses, and the 6,000 foot cavalry was completely used as 6,000 cavalry at this time.

When the six thousand cavalry charged, the momentum was not at all something that the rebels lacking cavalry could withstand.

Almost with lightning speed, the second general Cheng Pei had already broken Zhu Xie's main force.

When Zhu Xie was shot, the left servant of Eastern Wu hurriedly fled into another camp, hoping to recruit the defeated army for a defensive counterattack.

They fled behind the camp fence and shot indiscriminately with bows and arrows, hoping that this trick would be effective, but unfortunately they were not facing those weak county soldiers in the land of Sanwu, but the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Beidi Prefecture who had returned from Liaodong.

In one go, take advantage of the victory and storm fiercely.

Pei Xingyan even risked the arrows himself, jumped directly over the fence on his horse, and took the lead in rushing into the enemy camp.

Riding after riding in, the last hope of the rebels was dashed.

Zhu Xie was caught up by Pei Xingyan in the camp and stabbed to death.

The 50,000 rebels were defeated, and 6,000 officers and soldiers rushed to kill, and the battle lasted for a day.

In the end, only a few thousand rebels were able to escape, and the rest were killed and captured by the second general Cheng Pei and the defenders who had been killed in Jiangning City.

When the envoy sent back by Cheng Yanjin to report the victory arrived at Jingkou, Luo Cheng had just landed with a large army.

The two good news were almost delivered on the front and back feet.

Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji sent an express and urgent report, 'Wu County has been broken, Liu Yuanjin and his puppet officials have been captured, and 5,000 puppet Wu forbidden troops have been surrendered, and it has been a great victory!'

Cheng Biting Jin and Pei Xingyan's good news was only one step late, 'A hundred miles of running, Jiangning City broke the rebel army Zhu Xie's 50,000 soldiers and horses, beheaded Zhu Xie, killed more than 3,000 rebels, and captured more than 40,000 prisoners, a great victory! ’

After reading the two good news, Luo Cheng couldn't help but raise his right hand.

"The whole army stops advancing!"

"Marshal, but the striker had an accident?" Yu Jura asked

"Well, an accident, a big accident, General Shan Xu has already broken through Wu County, captured Liu Yuanjin alive, and wiped out the hundred officials of the pseudo-Wu Dynasty and the forbidden army. The second general Cheng Pei also raided Jiangning for hundreds of miles, beheaded Zhu Xie, and routed his 50,000 rebels. ”

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
