Chapter 319: The Situation

There is nothing more convincing than the slaughter of two people, and on the docks, both the soldiers of the rebels and the merchants of the Jingshi are honest like sheep, and immediately under the watchful eye of four hundred soldiers, they began to load the ship and leave.

The soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion did not pick and choose the old and weak like the Jingshi merchant group, but went on the ship according to the unit of the family, because in the experience of the Korean civil guard, if the family is together, the mood is often relatively stable, if a big family is together, and even have the intention of taking root, but the traditional Chinese big family is often very cohesive and does not obey the discipline of the government.

But in the current North Korea, according to Jiang Feng's words, 'the more people, the better, the more stable the better', and some things behind it are also ignored, and everyone is racing against time.

The population on the wharf was loaded on more than 20 ships, and the ships were already about the maximum limit, and under the escort of two small boats and one large ship in Dengzhou, or more precisely, under the escort, they slowly left their posts, and the four hundred soldiers in Dengzhou stayed directly at the wharf.

The ships of the Jingshi merchant group were not afraid of any wind and waves at sea, and those broken ships and gunboats were sunk after a few firing. In the same way, the force of 400 Dengzhou veterans and two large ships and a small boat was enough to deter the soldiers and guards in the harbor.

Now the ships of the Jingshi merchant group are constantly going back and forth at this wharf, and all these veterans have to do is to wait for the ship.

The refugees saw that these fierce and vicious soldiers were actually this "benevolent", of course, they were piled up on the harbor and did not leave, waiting to board the ship, although the merchant groups and rebel soldiers on the harbor gritted their teeth with hatred, but no one dared to say anything against or make any gestures of opposition.

Lunan is in turmoil, Wang Fa has long been unaware that he was thrown there, whose fist is big, whoever says it is Wang Fa! However, the soldiers of the rebel army naturally sent fast horses to deliver messages to Linyi, knowing that the silver taels earned by the ships of the merchant group to transport the population accounted for a large share in the purchase of supplies and military supplies.

It didn't take much time for Shijiu to go to Linyi quickly, but Linyi didn't send reinforcements or give a clear disposal plan, so the rebel soldiers in the port just retreated five miles back, and they didn't know what to do, but they just sent messengers to Linyi continuously.

At this time, Linyi was no longer able to take care of the income of Shijiu Port, and now Liu Shisan almost mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in his hands, ready to reinforce Zoucheng, under the control of the rebels, the fifteen prefectures and counties around Linyi that were originally stabilized, once there was a large number of refugees fleeing, because now Liu Shisan can not take care of any long-term peace and stability base areas, a large number of conscripts and people.

The original plan was that the siege battle of Jining should have started four days ago, but now the 6,000 people who heard the knife were dragged there by the 4,000 people led by the Zou Chengkong garrison, and the two sides were inseparable.

Wen Dao's lips were a little chapped, and he didn't care about the demeanor of 'Shangshu', his face was full of black ash and blood stains, and his eyes were bloodshot, listening to the reports of his officers:

"My lord, now there are no people in the villages and towns around ten miles or so, and the people who are attacking the city can't find it!"

In the four days of fighting, on the first day of the battle, the personal soldiers brought out from Linyi by Wendao actually lost more than 100 people, and the young and strong soldiers who were already a little combat effectiveness also lost nearly 1,000 people.

Because Wendao and Liu Shisan actually have some background in the regular army, they are not as ignorant of siege tactics and the use of large weapons as ordinary rebel armies, but after smashing the city gate with a crash, they found that it had already been blocked with stones by the people collected in the city.

Digging tunnels, Zou Cheng is close to Weishan Lake, after digging a few meters is the groundwater gushing, fortunately, Wen Dao also heard the method of Liu Liu and Liu Qi brothers when they attacked the city, that is, to arrest the surrounding villagers, let them use them as meat shields in front, this method was quite useful at the beginning, you must know that the Mongolian Tatars of the year were so attacking the city, when they set off before, Liu 13 also said in particular, don't harass the surrounding people, this is the territory we will control in the future, and we will levy troops and collect taxes here, But now Wen Dao is already red-eyed, and he can't care about it at all.

It is not impossible to bypass Zoucheng, but the location of Zoucheng is the intersection of traffic arteries, in order to quickly reach Jining, it has bypassed Rongyang, if you say that you don't care about Zoucheng, I am afraid that before you arrive in Jining, the back road has been intercepted.

The capital of Yanzhou is in the county seat of Rongyang, if it does not occupy Zou Cheng as a stronghold, then Rongyang will mobilize the people of Yanzhou and the thousands of soldiers of Zoucheng, cut off the back road, and Jining's soldiers and horses before and after, then everything will be over.

In the bottom of Wen Dao's heart, there are actually other ideas, since Liu Shisan and his soldiers were united, he said that the authoritative position of one and the second quickly disappeared, first of all, Liu Shisan was the descendant of the Liu family on Weishan Island, and the soldiers of the Liu family naturally obeyed his orders, and Liu Shisan's garrison for several years sat down, and everything was done in the rules, and the lack of the kind of gangsterism of Wen Dao also reassured everyone.

Wen Dao has always wanted to transform the young men into his own strength, but it has never had much effect, except for the two thousand horse teams pulled out in the Yimeng Mountain, the rest is always running away and resisting. Liu 13 also came to Linyi with more than 2,000 iron armor, but as time went on, more and more people joined Liu 13's troops, and the local gentry, who had always hated the rebels, also began to try to contact the rebels.

Of course, Wen Dao, who has always been reckless, of course doesn't know what the rules are, and he doesn't know the benefits of stability.

Originally, this time the incident was that Wen Dao and Liu 13 attacked Jining according to the strategy that Liu 12 gave them before the break, and the pre-planned plan was that the two sides would work together to attack Jining, but after his cronies told him something, he couldn't help it.

King Jing is already in his fifties, which is considered to be the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he does not seek death after being captured by the rebels, but if he wants to come forward to do anything, it is absolutely impossible, fortunately, he already knows that there is this sign, and it is much more convenient to do things, otherwise he would have been killed with a knife.

However, King Jing is light and clear, and his mind is firm, but his sons may not have this mind, King Jing and King Heng of Qingzhou are considered uncles of Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing has jumped from a small Xingxian king in Hubei to a great son, which makes these sons uneasy in their hearts. After all, there are a lot of fools, and some people have other thoughts when they see that the rebels are now so strong.

For example, when King Jing's son kidnapped them with a knife, he was still peaceful, and he also learned from his father what the righteous name of the court was. After Liu 13 came with the army, the son of King Jing was also well-informed and had seen the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. But although Liu Shisan's troops are rebels, their military appearance, military discipline, and equipment, the momentum they exude is extremely shocking.

Moreover, Liu Shisan has been an official for a few years and has the bearing of an official of the imperial court, so this style is naturally more favored by everyone in the Jing Palace, so the prince of Jing Wang took the initiative to contact Liu Shisan, expressed some kind attitude, and talked about some conditions. After hearing about this matter, he was immediately furious, and he had a feeling of being ignored in his heart, but it was impossible for him to follow Liu Shisandou.

Liu Shisan's soldiers and horses are more than him, and even the elite soldiers under Wendao are mostly the soldiers of the Liu family, if Liu Shisan's orders are given, I am afraid that ninety percent of the soldiers and horses will obey his orders, so this time I can't wait for anything, both sides are fully prepared, and decided to attack with their own descendants first.

Wen Dao was full of contempt for the combat effectiveness of the official army, and he felt that with his 6,000 soldiers and brave horse team, he would definitely be able to fight Jining very quickly.

But no one thought that Zou Cheng was such a difficult place to gnaw, according to Wen Dao's calculations, the loss of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the city was almost 2,000 people, but it was still high morale and desperate to the death. Wen Dao knew that the 6,000 people he brought over to attack the city had already lost thousands, and it was really painful to dig into the heart.

The officer who reported the report was still a distant cousin of Wendao, and he saw Wendao sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but boldly suggest:

"Why don't you ask the second master to platoon reinforcements to come over......?"

With a "snap", the whip had already been pumped heavily, and Wen Dao, who had not said a word, stood up with red eyes, panted and said:

"You don't need the second brother to come, we can take Zou Cheng by ourselves, you take someone to repair the ladder now, let the horse team dismount, let's attack again!"

Things are not much different from Jiang Feng's judgment in Dengzhou, Jiang Feng said with a smile to his relatives in private:

"Young people have an impulsive personality, and they are often swayed by emotions when they do things, and they are full of flaws!"

When Wendao had just begun to attack Zoucheng, that is, five days ago, the Grand Canal wharf outside Tongzhou City was full of dense soldiers, and the officers shouted at the top of their voices:

"Everything on board was thrown on the docks, and now it's all requisitioned......"

"Hurry up and get on the boat, hurry up and get on the boat, let's go to Yanzhou to kill the thief!"
