Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, regarded the northern Zhao army as the number one enemy and posed the greatest threat to him. Therefore, after determining that the rebel army on his flank might have the participation of the Zhao army, he immediately ordered to start encircling and suppressing the rebel army in the southeast of Yangzhou and react accordingly in the north of Yangzhou.

However, before it could be arranged, Murong Chengcheng got the latest news from Zhao Jun in Xuzhou in the north. Zhao Jun transferred a town army from Yongzhou into Xuzhou, deterring the local area inside and Qi army from the outside town.

"Yangzhou rebellious army, there must be Zhao Jun involved! Let the rebellious general He Lin and the garrisons of the eastern provinces act quickly, and these rebellious armies must not be allowed to develop and grow! Knowing the movements of the Zhao army in Xuzhou, Murong Cheng's first reaction was that the rebellious army in eastern Yangzhou had the support of the Zhao army.

Zhao Jun sent troops in Xuzhou, is it really a place of shock? Of course not, Xuzhou has been controlled by the Zhao army, that is, in Xuzhou, there were originally two towns and towns garrisoned, plus the local government soldiers, even Murong Cheng did not dare to let the Qi army under his command go north, not to mention those local squires who were suppressed by the Zhao army. Although Xuzhou also suffered natural disasters, Murong Cheng and others knew better than anyone that the rapid response of the government in Xuzhou did not cause refugees to rise at all, and there was no chaos in the local area.

Therefore, Murong Cheng and others knew that the mobilization of people in Xuzhou, the king of Zhao Jun, was nothing more than to defend himself, or that Zhao Jun wanted to suppress himself. When encountering natural disasters, he still thinks about mobilizing troops, if there is no benefit, how can Zhao Jun do this?

Therefore, Murong Cheng and his important ministers all believed that the increase of Zhao's troops in Xuzhou was naturally to contain their own suppression of the rebellious army in eastern Yangzhou. Therefore, Murong Cheng also ordered to speed up the campaign against the rebellious army.

The Jieyi Army, with Jiang Ming's assistance from Gu Shan, ambushed the combined forces of the Luo family army and the Qi army that occupied the northwest of Songjiang Prefecture, and formed after the Qi army's surprise plan failed. Subsequently, the Jieyi army quickly counterattacked, took Jurong and Nanhui counties, and completely annihilated the Qi army that had been conscripted against Jiang Ming's subordinates, making the Jieyi army huge and famous. And the actions of the Jieyi Army also made the Qi army's campaign against the two rebel armies in the south of Songjiang Prefecture unsuccessful.

The Lianglu Righteous Army in the south of Songjiang Prefecture and the Righteous Army of several counties in the eastern part of Yuhang Prefecture, since the envoys of the Zhao Army under their command learned of the actual situation of the Jieyi Army, united with the Jieyi Army and merged into one, making the Jieyi Army the largest righteous army in the east of Yangzhou in one fell swoop, and making the entire Yangzhou and even the Qi army in turmoil.

Although the merger of the Jieyi Army would provoke an all-out counterattack by the Qi army, Gu Shan and some military generals and civil officials agreed with this. For the generals, the stronger the Jieyi army, the stronger the strength in their hands, and the better they can confront the Qi army. For civilian officials, if the Jieyi Army is stronger, the people in the surrounding prefectures and counties can know the policies of the Jieyi Army, and the benefits of allowing more people to rely on the Jieyi Army are better than under the rule of the Qi Army. And the stronger the Jieyi Army, the more these people can trust that the Jieyi Army can guarantee the interests of the people under the rule of the Jieyi Army.

It is also because of this that Jiang Ming, Gu Shan and others are determined to formally merge and erect the banner of the Jieyi Army, so that more suitable people know that the Jieyi Army is good, and let them know that under the rule of the Jieyi Army, the benefits they get are better than those under the rule of the Qi Army. At the very least, there will be no natural disasters and the government will ignore them. At the same time, it is also to attract other rebels to see the facts, move closer to the Jieyi army, and resist the Qi army.

I have to say that after the banners of the Jieyi Army are counted, there are still many benefits, and the people in the surrounding counties of the Jieyi Army already know the situation of the Jieyi Army. In particular, the refugees and some poor people, after learning that the Jieyi army was exempted from some taxes and began to redistribute the fields in various places, began to flock to the Jieyi army. And those people who did not go to the rule of the Jieyi Army also began to hope that the Jieyi Army could fight them and let them profit.

As a result, in some small cities close to the Jieyi Army, many people began to contact the Jieyi Army, hoping that the Jieyi Army would enter. Even some cities directly started an incident, killed government officials, and directly summoned the Jieyi army, hoping that the Jieyi army would take over the city.

Therefore, in mid-July, Yuhang County, the seat of Yuhang Prefecture, also fell into the hands of the Jie Yi Army. Many of the surrounding cities were taken by the Jieyi army without blood, so it can be said that some of the cities and Jieyi army only need to send people to take over. However, with the comprehensive supervision of Gu Shan, Ji Tong, Xiao Zhongqing, Li Qingping, and Zhao Jun's light cavalry captains, the Jieyi Army launched a new system for various places in accordance with the predetermined way, appeased the people, and began to distribute fields to the people. Unlike Zhao Jun, there are not many big clans here. The Jieyi army only attacked those fleeing big clans and some squires who did a lot of evil on weekdays, confiscated their family property, confiscated the fields, distributed them to the landless people, and arranged for the people to resume production and build houses. You must know that in this disaster, the houses of many people in towns and villages were destroyed by the storm.

By doing so, the Jieyi Army can not only win over a large number of large clans who perform well on weekdays and are willing to cooperate with the Jieyi Army, so that the Jieyi Army will not be completely defeated. It can also realize the slogans passed out by the righteous army, and truly seek benefits for the people.

However, the Jieyi army is moving, and the Qi army is also moving. Because there were other rebel armies in the west and south of the Jieyi Army, the western and southern parts of the Jieyi Army were hardly counterattacked by the Qi army, but in the northern and southeastern coastal areas, they were counterattacked by the army and navy of the Qi army.

Jiaxing County, located in the south of Huating County, is under the jurisdiction of Yuhang Prefecture. In the merger of the Jieyi Army with several righteous armies, this has become the jurisdiction of the Jieyi Army. However, it faces the sea to the east, and the north and south are occupied by the Jieyi army, so at the beginning, the Jieyi army did not leave too many men and horses again. However, in order to prevent the Qi army and navy from attacking the eastern coast, 5,000 soldiers were stationed here to be responsible for the security of the eastern cities. Of course, in the view of the Jieyi Army, the Qi Navy is at most attacking the coastal areas, and will not go ashore to fight.

However, after Murong Cheng learned that the Jieyi Army had the participation of the Zhao Army, the Qi Navy received Murong Cheng's military order not only to blockade the eastern waters of Yangzhou, but also to find opportunities to further delay the development of the Jieyi Army.

Quantang Town, Jiaxing County is a town in the east, because it is near the sea, so, this was originally a small town, it is still developing well, many sea ships dock here, transport goods ashore, until the inland, Quantang Town has also become Quantang City. In the past, there was even an inspection department here, which was responsible for the taxation of merchant ships.

However, it is now under the jurisdiction of the Jieyi Army. And today, Quantang City was attacked by the Qi army. And what attacked them was the Qi navy, which they thought was impossible. In addition, not only here, but also in the small harbor of Noto Road in the eastern sea of the rebel army in the south.

When the sky was bright, dozens of warships appeared in the eastern sea area of Quantang City, if it weren't for the small harbor here, I was afraid that more people would come here. But Rao was like this, and the Qi naval warships also tested the shore without hindrance, and the Qi soldiers and soldiers also began to land. If it weren't for the fact that it was the officers sent by the Zhao army who were stationed here, I was afraid that this place would not be broken through by the Qi army.

Looking at the non-commissioned officers of the Qi army who kept coming ashore, Lin Hei, the sentry commander stationed here, couldn't help but show a bitter face. Lin Hei is a thirty-year-old Zhao Jun sentry chief, whose original name was Lin Heizi, and was later changed to Lin Hei when he was promoted. Because although this Quantang City is a town, it is located in the eastern sea, and the location is relatively special, in addition, it is also the place where the rebel army supported by Xiao Zhongqing in the past contacted the merchant ships of the Zhao army, so there are only more than 500 people stationed here.

"No, we can't defend the city, if they let them get a foothold outside the city, I'm afraid that there will be other Qi naval warships here. If we want to keep the city and prevent the subsequent armies of the Qi army from landing here, we can only defeat them here. Let them know that this place is not accessible. ”

"The order was given, and the defenders of the whole city immediately reorganized their armies and fought to the death. In addition, inform the mayor of the town, and ask them to immediately recruit young and strong people to defend the city, and let him be careful about the situation in the city, this Qi army can attack here, and it must already know the situation of our defenders here. In addition, immediately ask for help from Jiaxing County. ”

"By the way, bring the war horses collected from the big families in the city from the surrounding areas, and give me the ones who can ride them. These Qi soldiers are just navy soldiers, and they have no armor on their bodies, and we already have a great advantage. plus more than 50 cavalry, absolutely let these more than 1,000 people die here. Damn it! Who said that the Qi army and navy would not attack......" Lin Hei couldn't help but mutter.

At the same time as Lin Hei gave the order, more than two or three hundred Qi army and navy non-commissioned officers who went ashore quickly set up obstacles around the dock and wooden guns to quickly set up obstacles on the periphery of the seawall of the dock to make a simple defense, and everything appeared to be well-trained.

However, the soldiers of the Jieyi Army are also pressing here at this moment, and the first to arrive is naturally the cavalry of the Jieyi Army. Although there are not many good riders in Yangzhou, there is no problem in recruiting forty or fifty people in tens of thousands of people.

"Such an improvised fence wants to stop us? Cavalry, charge me! The foot soldiers followed, and the Qi soldiers were never allowed to continue to climb the road from this place. Lin Hei said coldly, and then rode his horse and rushed forward. For him, fighting is already instinctive, and there is no fear.

Seeing the cavalry attacking, the soldiers on the Qi warships approached the dock more quickly through some small warships. Seeing this, Lin Hei couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it weren't for the typhoon that destroyed the wharf, so that the big ships could not be docked outside the wharf, I was afraid that the more than ten ships of the Qi army and navy battlefield would have all come closer now, so there would be basically no suspense in this battle.

Because the Qi army is a naval non-commissioned officer, there is no other material except for a weapon in his hand. With the exception of a few of the soldiers who had the recommended shields, the rest had only a long knife, and some had a short axe. Therefore, in the face of the charge of the cavalry of the Jieyi Army, they could only hold their weapons and prepare to meet them.

"Rush!" Lin Hei shouted violently, and rushed towards the fence, slamming the spear in his hand on it. The simple obstacle can't stop the high-speed impact of five or six hundred catties with the horses and people, and the current simple defensive array has begun to break when Yu Lin's black spear is connected, coupled with the collision of the war horse, it will be torn apart in an instant, and the Qi soldiers who are preparing to counterattack behind the fence suddenly rushed to the people and horses, and then they were trampled to death by the cavalry of the Jieyi Army behind.

These Qi soldiers did not expect that in this chaotic army, there would be cavalry who would dare to take the lead in charging their own team of hundreds of people. So, as a result, it was directly knocked into the air. And the soldiers of the Qi army no longer know what to do. They were only engaged in broadside battles on ships, not on the road, nor did they experience cavalry charges. So, for a while, he seemed a little flustered.

The leading naval officer immediately shouted angrily: "Stupid! In groups of four, the one with the shield on his back stepped back, and the one with the big sword ...... from both sides."

Although the Qi soldiers on the wharf and river beach did not have a formation and were a little chaotic, Lin Heiao knew that the more than 50 cavalry behind him were hard-won elites, and they would have a very important role in this counterattack, and they could not fall into the river beach and fight to the death to consume it in vain. He led the cavalry soldiers not to fight, nor did he continue to attack the Qi army and navy soldiers in front, so as not to be surrounded by the other side. Just reopened the opponent's fence, and when he saw that the defensive formation on the periphery of the landing beach was broken, he grabbed the reins with his hand, took his spear and stabbed to death the more brave enemy soldiers who were blocking the front.

The Qi army navy non-commissioned officers are like a dough, and the cavalry led by Lin Hei is like a knife that sharpens the face, constantly sharpening the big dough of the Qi army's navy non-commissioned officers.

The non-commissioned officers of the Qi army and navy who landed first were all elite, but there was no effective way to disturb the more than 50 cavalry of the Jieyi army, so they could only make the people who landed first break out in formation, and cover the soldiers in the rear to continue to land, preparing to counterattack the opponent with superior forces. They believe that with the ability of their own elite soldiers, there is no problem in outperforming the other side with more against less.

Seeing that the infantry soldiers behind him had already arrived, and seeing that the Qi army navy soldiers were a little flustered, Lin Hei summoned the soldiers, threw the spear, pulled out the horizontal knife that made more use of short combat, and turned back to the soldiers behind him and said: "Although the Qi army has a large number of people, we have already frustrated the enemy's Kou Ruiqi, and behind us is our homeland, if you want to keep this place, you must allocate a sharp blade and fight to the death." Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy......" With that, he lifted the reins of the horse, struck the horse's belly with both legs, and rode the horse straight towards the ranks of the Qi army.

Because the Qi army did not have giant shield soldiers to counter the cavalry, and there were no crossbowmen to suppress the cavalry, Lin Hei asked the cavalry to break up the formation temporarily formed by the Qi army, and the foot soldiers advanced to cover the kill. Scatter the Qi army, break off their joint defenses, and let the infantry attack and kill the opponent's unarmored soldiers.

And in the city, the officials in the city also began to recruit young men to defend the city, and at the same time encouraged the soldiers who were fighting fiercely outside the city.

"Retreat!" Seeing that his cavalry could not use the speed of impact, the Qi soldiers also began to besiege their own cavalry, and Lin Hei immediately let the cavalry retreat. Immediately, he divided the cavalry into several groups, first with a small group of rangers to constantly disturb and confuse the Qi soldiers, and after the battle line and formation of the Qi soldiers gradually opened, he personally led the main force of the cavalry to suddenly press up, and immediately tore the opponent's array defense to pieces, and then, the infantry took advantage of the situation to break the enemy.

Fifty cavalry also lost in the battle, and more than fifty cavalry gradually decreased, even if the cavalry had a great advantage, even if the cavalry had armor, but the advantage of the opponent's strength was the biggest shortcoming of their own side. In addition, cavalry has a great role at this moment, so cavalry cannot but attack quickly.

"Damn! This section of the righteous army really has the support of the Zhao army, not only the existence of cavalry, but also such brave soldiers. Looking at the battle situation in the distance, the general of the Qi Army on the warship said with an iron face. The soldiers under his command were killed by the other party's chaotic army, and they were at a disadvantage, which made it difficult for him to accept. In particular, these soldiers are all good at water warfare, but now they are dying on land, which makes him both distressed and helpless.

Watching the formation of the soldiers who landed on their own shore gradually being pinned down by the other party and being scattered, the cavalry of the Jieyi Army took advantage of this impact to break up their own defenses, and then the enemy infantry rushed to kill, so that their own soldiers fell to the upper hand, and the teeth of the Qi army's generals were creaking. Although he wanted to withdraw his troops at the moment, he knew that he couldn't. If he can't withdraw his troops after a big battle, he will not be able to explain to the King of Qi. Of course, at this moment, he couldn't explain to the envoy of King Qi beside him.

In just a few moments, the wave of more than 200 people who landed first has now all died at the hands of the Jieyi army. Follow-up landing soldiers. There are also half of them who died at the hands of the Jieyi army under the cover of the cavalry charge and the infantry soldiers who were so sharp and undelayed. Once they are disrupted, they are simply unable to organize a powerful counterattack, and they fall into the predicament of fighting on their own, and even the most elite combat strength can hardly make great achievements.

Although the Qi soldiers are all elite and soldiers, the Jieyi Army is just a refugee uprising. However, these soldiers are just sailors, and they are good at water warfare, not land warfare. In particular, they have no armor and no variety of weapons, which makes them suffer heavy losses.

Seeing that the familiar faces were gradually being surrounded and killed by the Jieyi army, the Qi army's general's eyelids trembled, but he had no good plan, because it was not him who commanded the battle at this moment, but the envoy of the King of Qi beside him.

"General Liu, the men and horses under your command are too useless. In the face of the rush of the chaotic army, there is no way to deal with it. The envoy of King Qi also had an ugly face at the moment, and said in a muffled voice to the chief general of the Qi army beside him.

"My lord, it's not that my sergeants are inferior to the enemy, but that most of our sergeants are sailors, and they are good at water warfare, not land warfare. Especially since they live on water, they don't have any armor. Therefore, in the face of the enemy's charge, they were helpless. The general of the navy said coldly with anger in his eyes.
