Chapter 217: Ambush the grain ship

From the morning to the third pole of the sun, the grain ship still did not arrive, but at this time there was no way to verify the accuracy of the news, the squire who betrayed the information to Dong Wenbing did not get the imaginary bounty, and had already made Dong Wenbing cut off his head under the pretext.

However, Dong Wenbing didn't care too much about this, he would take it with him when he came, and if he didn't come, he would withdraw to the Wudieling camp tomorrow, and he was already very satisfied with the harvest in the past few days. The heavy grain and grass transported from Quanzhou should also be transported, and the prime minister's army is not far away, and it is likely to arrive at Wudieling at the same time, so it is better to greet it.

"Tell me to go down, make some good lunch for everyone, have enough wine and meat, and if there is no trace of the grain ship in the afternoon, withdraw all the men from the dock, and withdraw the troops tonight after resting!"

"Yes, General!"

Dong Wenbing was lying on a wide chair, the charcoal stove that had just been lit was just burning, and a large pot of tender lamb was stewed on it, the heat was already full, and the aroma of meat permeated the spacious ancestral hall. The three lieutenants who were qualified to eat with him were setting up the wine glasses and tableware, opening a jar of old wine from Humen Town, and the rich aroma of wine mixed with the smell of mutton attracted the guards outside to swallow their saliva.

"General, if we can destroy the grain ships of the Song army, we will make a great contribution! When the prime minister comes, will he still reward the general heavily! ”

Dong Wenbing got up from the big chair and sat on the main seat, picked up the wine and put it in front of his nose to smell it deeply.

"Shhh...... Oh, what wine, at least more than ten years buried under the tree, come brothers, do one! ”

"Come, brothers, a cup of respect to the general, I wish you a high-ranking official Houlu is just around the corner, and the brothers will follow you to get clean!"

"Haha, this time we come to Guangzhou, if we don't take the credit of honoring our ancestors, how can we go back to meet our fathers, brothers and elders in the family? If Guangzhou City is successfully taken down, I, Dong Wenbing, dare not say how big an official I will be, and it is very sure to get a big fief, and you will naturally follow me at that time to share the glory and wealth! ”

The more than 10,000 people in ambush on the pier are still hungry, and the Yuan soldiers in the village will come to change them after lunch, and the troops from top to bottom are a little lax, thinking that the Song army ships carrying grain should not come again.

The Yuan soldiers on the wharf wearing the clothes of the Song army and the common people also relaxed, and there were occasional fishing boats passing by on the wide river, and they were now lazy when they were pretending to be, sitting and chatting on the wharf in groups of three or five, and the weapons on their bodies were no longer concealed and directly held in their hands.

The Yuan soldiers, who had eaten and drunk enough in the town, did not ride horses with weapons and bows and arrows in their hands, and walked to the Humen Wharf to replace the Yuan soldiers who had ambushed at the wharf and had not yet eaten. This is the exchange of tens of thousands of teams, dense crowds of people poured out from the hidden places of the docks, trotting towards the main road into Humen Town, the feeling of hunger is not pleasant for anyone.

"Boat! It's a big ship! ”

The person in charge of reconnoitering the river suddenly found that there was a sail shadow on the distant skyline, and the tall mast had the symbol of the Song army, but it was not sure whether it was the Song army's grain ship. However, such a large-scale fleet, as long as it can dock at Humen Wharf, whether it is a grain ship or not, it is worth a sneak attack, Dong Wenbing heard the news, threw down his wine glass and rushed to the wharf in person.

"The soldiers who ordered them to go back to eat should hurry up and come back to prepare for war as soon as they finished eating! Look at the speed, this fleet will be able to get here in a while, if he doesn't enter the dock, we can only watch, it's really greedy! ”

Dong Wenbing rubbed his nose, the cannon baggage left by Zhang Hongfan has not yet arrived, if the equipment is here, even if they don't enter the dock to berth, they can also bombard them with two cannons. Humen Wharf is naturally formed here over time, after the rest of the descendants, there is such a 100 zhang long and gentle deep-water berth, suitable for docking heavy load large cargo ships, especially the ships that transport grain draft is very deep.

The people dressed in disguise on the dock became nervous, got some empty boxes and grain bags, and carried them back and forth between the warehouse and the dock, and dozens of manpower two-wheeled carts also began to get busy, casually loading something to push back and forth.

More than 10,000 soldiers were hidden behind the warehouses on both sides of the wharf, as long as a large number of grain ships came in and anchored, these people immediately swarmed onto the grain ships, can they still run, not to mention that those people who pretend to be stevedores will wait for the opportunity to kill people and seize the ship.

"Come on, do you see what's on board?"

The scout, who had reconnoitred the enemy from the front, came back and gasped for breath to report that the large ships of the Song army were all fully loaded, and there were many things piled high on the deck, all covered with thick gray linen, and it was likely that they were all stacks of grain.

"Tell the people below to hide their hands, pinch their mouths and pant, if anyone is exposed and disturbs Song Jun, I will cut off someone's head!"

Meng Wenbing and his people also retreated, and in a simple three-story building on the wharf, a temporary command center was established, and dozens of heralds ran back and forth, passing the news of the Song army on the river and Dong Wenbing's generals.

Although the flag of the Song Army was hung on the mast, the people walking back and forth on both sides of the ship were wearing the clothes of ordinary people, which was very in line with the characteristics of the grain ship.

However, there are also suspicious places, that is, the appearance of these ships does not look like cargo ships, but the appearance of regular warships served by the Song Dynasty sailors, but these are no longer the point, and the people on the shore are anxiously waiting in their hearts, for fear that this wave of dozens of large ships will not enter the dock.

"It's turned, and the leading ship has turned! Quickly report to General Dong that it is the grain ship of the Song army that has come, and it has begun to turn to prepare to enter the dock. ”

The person in charge of monitoring on the surface was excited, this piece of fat can be enough today, these dozens of big ships just lined up the embankment of the entire wharf, and when they all anchored and landed, it was also the moment when they died in Huangquan.

"The general has an order, everyone must be steady, steady, not to show any horses, violators will not be spared!"

Hundreds of stevedore-looking soldiers on the wharf continued to work on their hands, and a leader with a dozen subordinates stood at the entrance of the wharf, stretching out his hand to direct the big ship that was about to enter the port.

Dong Wenbing, who had been observing on the third floor behind, was very satisfied with the disguise of his subordinates. It's just that Song Jun's ship speed is too slow, which makes him a little anxious, and when these dozens of ships are docked, it really takes more than half an hour to be enough.

The Song army didn't see anything when they were transporting grain, and the first leading boat slowly sailed past the dock, and under the command of the leader, the ship sailed to the farthest end of the dock to dock. In this way, these ships can be lined up, and it will be more convenient to load and unload the goods on board.

There were not many people on the grain ships of the One, Two, Ten, and Song Army, and the people in charge of the bow were also very cooperative with the wharf, and sailed to the shore one by one according to the orders of the leader.

But not a single ship broke down!
