Since crossing the river, the Qingfeng army first attacked Hu Boyan, occupied the Wuhu crossing, and then occupied Xuanzhou, cutting off the route of Zhu Chongba's eastward advance in Huizhou, breaking the barbarian Hague under Wuhu City, Chen Zhaoxian in Fangshan, and Kang Maocai in Baguazhou.

Jiangdong Mengyuan Provincial Prime Minister 'Dazhi Timur' (personal name), sitting in Hangzhou, Jiqing was lost, so that he could not explain to the imperial court, hurriedly told the towns to guard the Great Yuan, recruit soldiers and horses on the spot, guard the city, and he also raised soldiers and horses in Hangzhou, preparing to counterattack Jiqing.

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and don't sell the famous academic overlord!

Hao Ren has conquered Jiankang, there is no great enemy in the periphery of Jiankang, Hao Ren did not lose his enterprising pace because of the victory, the soldiers are fast, he doesn't want to give Dazhi Timur a chance to counterattack, so that the nearby cities have time to defend and garrison, and the Qingfeng army coerced the aftermath of the great victory, and divided the troops to pacify the Quartet!

Chang Yuchun and Li Zongke both restrained Jurong and appointed Chang Yuchun as the head of the march along the river, and the commanders Li Zongke and Yu Tonghai were the military departments of the Yangtze River, and they went down the river to capture Zhenjiang (Luzhi) and Jiangyin (provincial government).

Shao Rong was appointed as the head of the Changzhou Road March, and the commander Zhao Jizu (both of which were reinforcements sent by Guo Tianxu) to attack Changzhou (Luzhi).

Deng Yu was appointed as the head of the march on Guangde Road, and he commanded the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Guangde.

Yang was appointed as the head of the march on Ningguo Road, with Xuanzhou as the center, and pacified the surrounding cities.

Liao Yongan was left to sit in Jingluo Jiankang, dispatched the Shan Jun Department and Chen Zhaoxian's Department, and pacified the city of the territory of Jiqing Road in Mengyuan Province, and did not transfer grain and grass to the troops and horses.

Although all units were equipped with a number of artillery, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of each department, Hao Ren temporarily assigned Jiaolu's firearms battalion to individual soldiers and horses in units of 1,000 households, so as to ensure that all parts of the troops did not divide their combat strength.

General Hao Ren was personally in command, and Wu Liuqi's Jiang Defense Army, Hu Boyan's Naval Army, Marshal's Mansion Army, and Guards took the Yangtze River to the south through the Grand Canal into Taihu Lake, along the east bank of Taihu Lake, preparing to attack Pingjiang!

Since ancient times: there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou. The so-called Pingjiang is the Suzhou of later generations, also known as Gusu. Located on the east bank of Taihu Lake, known as the "land of fish and rice in Taihu Lake", it is also the necessary place for the Grand Canal, and in the Jiangdong area at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the degree of wealth is second only to Hangzhou. There is the famous Hanshan Temple of 'midnight bell to passenger boat' in the territory, and there are many inner lakes in this city, and another famous inner lake is famous for its abundance of hairy crabs - Yangcheng Lake.

Hao Ren led his troops to raid Pingjiang, naturally not to listen to the bells of Hanshan Temple, nor to eat hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, but also to consider the wealth and strategic significance of Pingjiang!

There are many historical cities along the coast of Taihu Lake, there are Wuxi and Changzhou in the north, Pingjiang in the east, Huzhou in the south, and Huzhou is the key to lock and control the Hangzhou Road, occupy Pingjiang, you can occupy the rich and rich land in the east of Taihu Lake.

Retreat, can occupy Taihu Lake and lock Hubei, advance, can attack Jiaxing, Huzhou, oppress Hangzhou, and threaten all the famous cultural cities along the coast!

……

Wu Liuqi's sailors sang the "Military Song of the Jiangfang Army" in unison, and the singing was magnificent, echoing for a long time in the reeds on the surface of Taitai Lake.

"Jianglong out of the pool into the deep sea, hey!

The sword points to the sky and declares the people's grievances, hey, hey!

The clouds and waves split the greedy, hey, hey!

The people are happy to come and the evil ghosts tremble, hey!

Life and death are melted into talk and laughter, hey, hey!

Why worry about the pain of life, why fear the cold of death

Today I will sing to the wine,

Eighteen years later, he is a good man again! ”

…… (Note 1)

Hao Ren and Wu Liuqi as the forward, since the battle of Hezhou, Hao Ren transferred him from the main force to Hezhou to do the Jiangfang Army, has not had the opportunity to talk, Hao Ren in Wu Liujiu, Chen Guanguan (transferred to the marshal's mansion as a guard of thousands of households) under the guard, and Wu Liuqi and several other soldiers to the bow of the wine boat, and there is a beautiful scenery along the lake, the atmosphere is not harmonious.

"Yes, General Wu's military song is magnificent and full of pride, which makes people's hearts tremble!" Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and smiled.

"This military song is passionate and heroic, and it can really boost morale!" Yu Tongyuan said!

Wu Liuqi said with a smile: "A few people who joined the army laughed, how can they have so much power, it's just that they learned the military song created by the lord, and their subordinates created a military song that echoes the water army!" ”

"Really heroic, really exciting!" Hao Ren praised it and said: "However, how do I feel that in this military song, 'kill corrupt officials, declare the people's grievances' reveals full gangsterism?" ”

Wu Liuqi smiled embarrassedly: "I am suppressing bandits along the river, and I have indeed incorporated a lot of river bandits and water thieves, this song is a repertoire sung by them, I listen to its heroism, which can inspire morale, so I sang it in the army!" ”

"Good, good! Aren't we just killing corrupt officials and solving people's grievances, today we are still regarded as red turban thieves by the imperial court, and in the future, we will be the heroes of the restoration of China, and we will be sung by 10,000 people! Hao Ren praised.

"Oops, there's an ambush ahead!" Suddenly, the soldier in charge of the lookout shouted anxiously!

Although Hao Ren and Wu Liuqi were at the front of the fleet, there were still ships in front of them that had been sent out to spy on them, Hao Ren's fleet was not fast, and there was an ambush, why didn't the sentry come back to report earlier?

Just because Hao Ren's navy is a river defense army, the hull is small, not suitable for walking in the center of the lake, can only travel along the lake, and the lake is mostly reeds, ambushes in the reeds, not close to the front, can not be noticed, once discovered, it is too late.

"Protect the lord!" Wu Liuqi raised his waist knife, blocked it in front of Hao Ren, and shouted loudly and ordered: "The sailor is in position, ready to fight!" ”

At this time, the cannon roared, and the reed-swinging enemy boats, in the reed-swinging reeds, fired artillery, and hundreds of small boats, clamoring to kill together!

Although the Qingfeng army has been in battle for a long time, at such a close distance, it is difficult to react for a while when it encounters a sneak attack.

For a time, the Qingfeng army was in chaos, and many soldiers, under the blows of bows and arrows like raindrops, fell into the water one after another, and even sailors, in order to avoid bows and arrows, jumped directly into the water.

Wu Liujiu and Chen Guanguan hurriedly used their shields to cover Hao Ren! To tell the truth, the shield can only cover the feathered arrows, not the cannonballs!

Hao Ren was also stunned for a moment by this sudden attack, but he immediately reacted, pushed away the two thousand households and shouted:

"Protect the army, join the army without armor!"

Hao Ren is wearing fish scale armor, although his ability to bow and arrow seems to be inferior to plate armor, as long as the feather arrow does not hurt his face, he has no worries about his life!

The two Qianhu didn't react at this time, knowing that they didn't have armor to join the army, so they had to leave Hao Ren and mechanically carry out the order!

At this moment, a cannonball roared into the bow of the ship, Hao Ren felt a buzzing explosion in his head, and the deck under his feet was shattered, and his body flew out involuntarily, and fell into the water with an 'ordinary' sound. (To be continued.) )
