Chapter 35: The Jeju Soldiers with Heavy Losses

On the fourth watch of the next day, Wu Dong ordered the march, and at this time the sky was just light, and after the officers and men had eaten enough, they set off on two or three hundred boats towards the water.

In order to motivate the soldiers, Wu Dong did not hesitate to personally lead the battle as a civilian official, he also put on a soft armor, carried a long sword, and sat firmly on the big ship in the middle.

This time, there were also soldiers in the team who fled back after the defeat last time, so this time the officers and soldiers also learned a lesson, and cleared the reeds, weeds and other things along the way first, so as not to hide thieves inside.

It took them more than half a day to clear a wide road, and hundreds of ships lined up and sailed forward.

After traveling more than ten miles in one breath, I saw several small boats suddenly rowed out in the three directions ahead, and there were three people standing in the bow of the boat, each holding a weapon, and some people recognized that this was the three heroes of the Ruan Thiang.

Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at the officers and soldiers with his hand and scolded: "You stupid people who can't be killed, have you forgotten the fart and urine that you were beaten by the old men so quickly?" Dare to go one step further and teach you all to die! โ€

Wu Dong's whole body trembled, if it weren't for these culprits, how could he be so passive now? He pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and said, "Come on, take down this bold thief for me, and the official will be rewarded." โ€

The officers and soldiers bullied Ruan Xiaoqi and a few of them were small in the boat, and immediately there were thirty or fifty boats, about three or five hundred men and horses, and they only rushed over in three ways to take them, Ruan Xiaoqi and they sneered, and drove the boat to the depths.

Wu Dong's side arranged for a large force to follow closely, but the ships in front of him ran fast and soon disappeared from sight.

After driving for another three or five miles, he suddenly saw a small boat fleeing back in front of him, and a small officer on board shouted: "Don't rush! We

He killed all the ships that went into the water and took them all. โ€

Wu Dong asked in surprise: "What's the matter with that guy's hand!" โ€

The man replied, "As we were sailing, we saw two boats coming from afar, each with three or five men in each boat. We tried our best to drive him out, but we could not drive him three or four miles above the water, and seven or eight small boats came out of the small harbor in four miles. The crossbow arrows on the ship were shot like locusts, and when we hurried back, we came to the narrow harbor, and saw about twenty or thirty people on the shore, holding a large rope at each end, cut across the water. โ€

Wu Dong scolded the thief angrily after hearing this, and at this time, a cronie commander next to him advised: "Enxiang, this is the hometown of the thief, and we are definitely not as familiar with the advantages as they are, and these three Ruans are proficient in water, and deliberately want to provoke us and others, let us divide our troops so that they can eat them in one bite, according to the general's opinion, we don't need to pay attention to them, our army only cares about driving to the shore, and forcing the beach is the right way." โ€

Wu Dong nodded when he heard this; "What the general said is exactly what the subordinate officer accidentally caught the thief for a while, so he followed the general's plan."

Then the whole army immediately gathered and assembled again, regardless of how the three brothers of the Ruan family who came back from a distance provoked and scolded, they just ignored it, and kept their heads bored and went straight forward.

Then San Ruan saw that their goal had been achieved this timeโ€”delaying the journey of the officers and soldiers and killing and wounding five or seven hundred of them, and he flew away from both sides as if he had whistled, and returned to the base camp from the back mountain path.

As soon as the officers and soldiers took a breath, they heard that several stone walls had been built on Yazui Beach, and there were two heroes standing on them, it was Du Qian and Song Wan, Du Qian pointed at Wu Dong and said with a smile: "Dog officer, there is a road in heaven, you don't go, there is no way to go to hell, the old man Liangshan is touching the sky Du Qian, and persuades you to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise you will die!" โ€

Wu Dong scolded: "The thief who should be killed with a thousand knives has made you rampant for a few years before, and this official has come to suppress the bandits in person this time, your good days are over, prepare to die." โ€

After saying that, Wu Dong ordered the officers and soldiers to get off the ship and attack, and promised a heavy reward, the first officer to climb the city was promoted to three levels, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, under the encouragement of the white flowers, the officers and soldiers screamed and jumped off the boat and went straight to the walled cities to rush to the past.

Du Qian and Song Wan were not in a hurry, and with an order, the gray bottles, stones, rolling wood, and crossbow arrows that had been prepared long ago were rained down on the walled city, which condescendingly took the advantage, and more than a hundred were overturned in an instant.

Wu Dong was desperately supervising the battle in the back, and the remaining officers and soldiers had to grit their teeth and continue to rush forward, and finally rushed to the shore, when they saw Du Qian's strange smile, he lit a rocket and looked close, aiming at the officers and soldiers and shooting straight at their feet, only to hear a bang, and suddenly a line of fire spread, rushing towards the officers and soldiers like a fire dragon.

It turned out that Du Qian and they were too familiar with the location here, and they had already poured a lot of black oil and flammable materials on the ground on the shore, and then used rockets to ignite them after they went ashore.

How did the poor officers and soldiers know this, at this time they rushed up again, and crowded here close to their predecessors, and this fire burned them to death and burned four or five hundred people, and the living ones were also scorched with black faces, like black bear spirits.

Du Qian and Song Wan laughed on the city tower, and pointed and mocked before abandoning the city in a big way, Ye Ling and Wu Yong had already told them, the purpose of this second line of defense is also only to obstruct and kill the officers and soldiers, there is no need to fight to the death with the other party, now that they see that the goal has been achieved, and if they continue to consume, they will be surrounded by officers and soldiers, so they naturally take the initiative to retreat.

Wu Dongqi's face turned pale, like a refined winter melon essence, he had to vent his anger on those stone walls, and ordered the officers and soldiers to dismantle them all and throw them into the lake.

At this time, someone had already reported the list of losses to him, and along the way, the three brothers of the Ruan family were attacked and harassed by the three brothers, killing and injuring more than 500 people, and then lost more than 500 people by capturing the beachhead, and the original 3,000 men and horses had already gone to Sancheng.

Wu Dong had no choice but to appease his soldiers once, and let everyone camp here in situ, and send down the three days' worth of fine meat, chicken, duck, goose eggs and other delicious food, so that the soldiers could eat and drink enough, and at the same time treat the wounded, find out information, and prepare to completely capture this damn Liangshan tomorrow.

Wu Dong had already thought about it, this job was too hateful, and after taking the mountain tomorrow, he must humiliate them severely, and finally drown in this lake in a sack to relieve the hatred in his heart.
