Yan Yingyuan felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

It was already late at night, and in order to prevent the tiger guards from sneaking out of the city to attack, Liu Liangzuo stationed the camp about ten miles away from the city, and it was heavily guarded. In the tent, the footsteps of the patrols outside could be heard passing by from time to time, and the whispers of exchanging passwords.

But Yan Yingyuan still felt uneasy in his heart.

Did the city send that hot steamboat just to deliver a letter? What's in that letter?

Yan Yingyuan also considered whether it would be the city guards who saw his plan to irrigate Yanzhou with water, but after thinking about it, Yan Yingyuan decided that there was no solution to irrigate Yanzhou.

"If there are enough defenders in the city and two or three thousand guerrilla troops on the periphery, I can defend this city for a little longer until Yu Guozhen's reinforcements arrive...... It's funny, I'm a besieger now, why do I think about how to defend the city? Yan Yingyuan heard the drum of the third watch beating outside, and finally decided not to think nonsense.

Around the ugly hour, there was a muffled sound in the distance, Yan Yingyuan had not fallen asleep, and after this muffled sound, he sat up: "Is it a night attack from the city?" ”

But the sound was not coming from the direction of Yanzhou City, but should be farther northeast. Yan Yingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then heard two sounds in succession.

This time there were two muffled sounds, one from the northeast and the other from the north.

Yan Yingyuan stood up suddenly, his eyes almost flashing in the darkness: "Oops! ”

He was clever enough to understand what was happening and immediately rushed out of the tent. Seeing that many people came out to inspect the movement like him, he said sharply: "Where is Guangchang Bo." Take me to see Guangchangbo quickly! ”

He was very valued by Liu Liangzuo, so Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers immediately led him to Liu Liangzuo's tent. Liu Liangzuo had also put on his clothes, and Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but be furious when he saw that there were still women in the camp.

"Guangchangbo, the disaster is terrible, those three loud noises must have been blown up by the Xinxiang army in advance. We originally wanted to flood Yanzhou City, but now they have flooded our army! ”

The terrain around Yanzhou is flat, which makes them plan to flood Yanzhou. But also because of the flat terrain around Yanzhou, although their camping place is higher, it is impossible for the coalition army of nearly 100,000 people to be stationed on a high place. It is impossible to put all kinds of ordnance in a high place. If the water flow is according to their pre-planned breach, then it will go straight to Yanzhou, and it will not affect their side, but on the contrary, if the break is somewhere else, the water of the three rivers will converge in one place......

And even if they didn't rush straight to the camp, their plan to flood Yanzhou was in vain.

"What!" Liu Liangzuo was shocked, he is also an old veteran, of course he knows what his situation will become in such a situation. He shouted and immediately began to command the transfer.

But it was too late.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly said that he wanted to transfer. Even in the later life, it is not an easy thing, let alone Liu Liangzuo's subordinates!

The first time this command was legendary, it caused the camp to roar. The news was obtained from the camp in the distance, and it was only thought that the tiger guard had attacked Liu Liangzuo's village at night. Liu Liangzuo had already been defeated and immediately collapsed. As far away as the Gaojie Department in the west and east of the city, the people sent by Liu Liangzuo to warn were still halfway through the city, and they were already facing the surging flood.

Surabaya, Yishui, and Baima are not big rivers, but now is the season of heavy rainfall. During the day, there had just been a thundershower, and Liu Liangzuo built half of the dam in order to flood Yanzhou. Now that all this water has been washed in, the outside of Yanzhou City has almost become a Ze country.

Yan Yingyuan was lucky, he reacted quickly, although he was separated from Liu Liangzuo and others, he still climbed a big tree, he was sleepy and worried on the tree, and a few hours passed, only to hear the sound of rushing water under him, as if the flood had not receded. When it was dawn, I looked at the company camp that was supposed to be more than ten miles away, but now it was a mud slurry pond!

"Oops...... I have to leave, and if I were a defender, I wouldn't give up this opportunity! ”

The city was soaked in water, and although the walls of Yanzhou had collapsed in many places, the remnants of the coalition could not attack at all with the water all around. Yan Yingyuan didn't need to see it, he could guess the current situation, and now he could only count on Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie's luck, the loss of troops would not be too great, and he could return to Xuzhou to make plans again.

He stayed in Jiangyin for a few years, and he was early in the water, so he brushed off his long clothes and went into the water to try it bare-chested. The water is not too deep, it is probably up to his waist, which makes Yan Yingyuan feel a little relieved: such a little water should cause limited damage.

Just then, he heard the sound of muskets in the distance.

Yan Yingyuan's heart suddenly froze, and sure enough, as he expected, the sky had just dawned, and the tiger guards in Yanzhou City came out to reap the results. According to the order of the lord Wang Haoran, they will not leave prisoners, so all Liu Liangzuo's subordinates who are struggling in the water, hanging on the trees, and surviving on the slopes where the water has not flooded will die.

The reason why Yan Yingyuan promised Liu Liangzuo to come out to help him was that he wanted to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, he wanted to return to his hometown, and he didn't want to die before these two wishes were realized.

Waist-deep water, not drowning people, but enough to make it difficult for people to move, Yan Yingyuan identified the direction and headed towards the northeast.

After struggling in the water for half an hour, the muskets behind him were getting closer and closer at first, and occasionally faint screams could be heard - this proved that Wang Haoran was not bragging, he really wanted to kill all Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuobu who fell into the water. Later, the gunfire faded away, and Yan Yingyuan understood that his judgment was right, and the Xinxiang army really went to the southeast.

He originally fled for his life alone, but gradually someone followed him on the way, and some of these people knew him, knew that he was a big man who also respected Liu Liangzuo, and he became the backbone of these people. When they finally arrived at the dry place, everyone was paralyzed on the ground, tired and hungry, and many of them began to cry.

The 100,000 people besieged the city in order to flood the enemy's army, but they were flooded by the enemy.

Yan Yingyuan knew that this place was far from peaceful. It is impossible for the Xinxiang army in the city to break through the encirclement and blow up the river embankment, and it must be the troops left by Wang Haoran to fight outside the city. They can be haunted by the boundaries of Yanzhou, and they must be very familiar with the geographical conditions, so they may judge that the terrain here is higher, and they come here to wait for the rabbit. Therefore, he kicked several people in a row: "Get up, get up, it's not time to rest, if you don't want to die here, leave quickly!" ”

Chased by the fear of death, these people got up one after another and fled with Yan Yingyuan. After escaping for about six or seven miles, there was no sound behind him, and Yan Yingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the direction, I am close to Qufu, the hometown of the Holy Master......

Thinking that he was invited to go out of the mountain, but fought such a bad battle, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, quite like the feeling that Confucius was in trouble with Chen Cai at the beginning.

At this moment, his body suddenly froze.

Because, in front of him, a beautiful white horse appeared. Immediately, a knight, clearly in the uniform of the Xinxiang Army, was staring at him with blinking eyes.

"Uh......" Yan Yingyuan's heart was excited, and he was about to think of a way to fool him, but the knight threw it casually, and a rope noose flew out of his hand, directly trapping him.

Then the knight pulled it, and Yan Yingyuan fell to the ground. He shouted "help me", but Liu Liangzuo's subordinates fled faster than one another, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away.

"Catch a mouth." The knight pulled the rope and dragged Yan Yingyuan a few steps, Yan Yingyuan was shirtless and dragged on the ground, and the pain was unbearable. He shouted: "Kill me quickly, I'm Yan Yingyuan!" ”

"Official, official, what is this guy called Yan Yingyuan!" Immediately the knight shouted.

Yan Yingyuan's heart sank, on the way north, he had a long talk with Zhou Zhongzeng, and he knew some characteristics of the new Xiangbing, and he knew that there was only one person who was called an "official" by the Xinxiang soldiers, and that was Yu Guozhen!

Yu Guozhen really came here!

Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but raise his face, wanting to see what this world-famous Yu Guozhen looked like.

When Yu Guozhen heard Wang Qinian say that he had caught a person named Yan Yingyuan, his heart moved. Although he is not very familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he still knows some famous figures, such as Yan Yingyuan, the classic history of Jiangyin. He jumped off his horse: "Don't drag him, Hugh is going to hurt someone!" ”

Wang Qinian's hand loosened slightly, Yan Yingyuan turned over and sat up, staring at Yu Guozhen who was walking over, with both hostility and unwillingness in his eyes, as well as a little contempt.

"Your Excellency's surname is Yan Yingyuan, is it the one with the word Liheng?" Yu Guozhen said.

Yan Yingyuan was stunned, he was just a nobody at this time, Liu Liangzuo was familiar with him, and he knew his skills, so he respected him for three points, but he didn't expect that this Yu Guozhen also knew his name.

"It is Yan Yingyuan, and Your Excellency must be Hou Yu Guozhen of the South China Sea?"

"It's Yu." Yu Guozhen saw him sitting cross-legged, calm, and admired him a little in his heart. He also sat down cross-legged: "Why is Mr. Yan here?" ”

Although Yu Guozhen does not have a talent collecting habit, and he never wants to recruit a famous figure like Yan Yingyuan in history, Yu Guozhen still has respect for this famous national hero in history.

"Come with Liu Liangzuo." Yan Yingyuan was not afraid, he did not hide his purpose, looking at Yu Guozhen, he sighed again: "Yu Gong has the power to save the world, pity, pity!" ”

"To this day, I don't dare to say that I can save the world. Only the people of the world can save the world, not any one person. Yu Guozhen said: "I have heard people talk about Mr. Yan, and I know that Mr. Yan has always been loyal and self-proclaimed, so I won't say much, but only ask Mr. Yan to go to a place to see." ”

Yan Yingyuan said with a smile: "Although Xinxiang is good, it is not my hometown. ”

"Mr. Yan's family, I will send someone to report safety." Yu Guozhen knew that he had misunderstood: "As for the rest, let's talk about it later." ”

He rushed to the rescue of Yanzhou this time, although he believed that Wang Haoran could hold Yanzhou, but if he said that he was not worried at all, it would be a lie, so he was very interested in the battle situation, but seeing Yan Yingyuan's embarrassed appearance now, he felt that there was no need to ask.
