As soon as he heard that his cheap father's tone became softened, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, sure enough, all fathers in the world would be relieved by their son's excellence, even Ye Mengding, who had experienced several ups and downs in his life.

Looking up at the map, Yinxian County, where Qingyuan Mansion is located, is Cixi in the north, where the Taiping army defeated the foreign guns six hundred years later, and Fenghua in the south, which is the hometown of Jiang Gong, the marshal of peanuts. At this time, half of the troops under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan Prefecture were stationed in Yinxian and Fenghua coastal areas, because Haikou chose this direction for several attacks, and there was only one hundred people in Cixi, relying on the county town to defend. Ye Yingwu watched quietly for a long time, and he already had a plan in his heart.

The few people in the lobby who were red-faced and red-eared all fell silent, and looked at Ye Yanei with a solemn face in a little surprise, and couldn't believe that this gentleman could come up with any good way to turn the tide of the enemy.

"Daddy, the kid thinks that Daddy might as well plan a deception with a few heads, and then pretend to give up Cixi because of insufficient troops, and shrink the troops to Yinxian and Fenghua to defend to the death, so that we can set up an ambush in Cixi County, and even follow Zhuge Kongming's plan to burn Cixi!" Ye Yingwu replied in a low voice, and for a moment there was silence in the entire council hall.

Wen Tianxiang was the first to stand up and arch his hand and said: "Qi Ye Xianggong, I think that Yuanlie's plan is feasible, but burning Cixi does hurt the peace of the heavens, and it violates the nature of Xianggong and the people, so it should be replaced by other methods." ”

"The Admiral agrees." The three heads glanced at each other and took a step forward together.

Ye Mengding narrowed his eyes, and his face was gloomy: "Except for burning Cixi, I'm afraid there is no way to stop Haikou." Yuanyeol, do you want your father to be a sinner? ”

"Shhh The three heads and Wen Tianxiang took a sharp breath at the same time.

Ye Yingwu looked up at his cheap father, who had a somewhat unkind face, and said loudly: "If Daddy can't bear to watch the people of Qingyuan being plundered and watch the lives ruined, then what's the difference between him and sinners?" What's more, when luring the Haikou to come, we had plenty of time to evacuate the people of Cixi, and afterwards went to the imperial court to distribute some of the gold and silver obtained from the Haikou to comfort the scattered people, which must be acceptable. The big husband doesn't eat five tripods and cooks five tripods, I'm afraid that it will do much! ”

Hearing this, whether it was Wen Tianxiang or the three heads, they were all enthusiastic.

"Well, I'll listen to you." Ye Mengding closed his eyes and walked away.

"Daddy's righteousness." Ye Yingwu replied loudly, and casually put the reputation on his head on his cheap father.

"Xianggong (prefect) righteousness!" Wen Tianxiang and others also hurriedly surrendered.

At this moment, anxious footsteps sounded, and a herald ran in quickly, with a feather arrow stuck in his back, and he didn't care about the injury at the moment, and he knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "Lord Prefect, Haikou is here again, the momentum is huge, Yang Tizhi can't stop it, please send troops to Fenghua quickly!" ”

"What?!" Everyone present was shocked, Ye Mengding looked up in the direction of Fenghua with difficulty, the tired soldier's plan was so powerful, this opponent underestimated him, "Everyone, the big battle is coming, there is no room for hesitation, the old man will go in person!" ”

The heads of the capital already knew the temper of this prefect, so they naturally did not dare to dissuade them at the moment.

Ye Mengding looked up at Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You two are also following, and you can't leave the protection of the old man's personal army when the time comes." ”

With Wen Tianxiang's ingenuity, he had expected it a long time ago, and Ye Yingwu originally wanted to see the ancient war, so the two of them were not surprised, but faintly excited.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Flat rocky beachhead.

Yang Shouming, the governor of Qingyuan Mansion, was holding a snow-bright Pu knife in his hand, standing on a small hill behind the beachhead of Pingshi Reef, and more than a dozen veterans of a hundred battles covered in blood hugged him tightly, holding up shields in their hands, and preventing the arrows shot from all directions.

There were four or five hundred pirates, and they had already slaughtered the bottom of the hill, and the beachhead was full of corpses as far as the eye could see. On the sea hundreds of feet away, small boats are still getting closer, and farther away, there are several sea ships that look a little broken.

"Tiha, it's been several hours, how can the reinforcements not come yet, it is estimated that the brothers will fight out in less than half an hour after fighting like this!" A capital head stood beside Yang Shouming, looking worriedly at the soldiers who kept retreating to the mountain, and his worried expression was already overflowing, "Could it be that the prefect will not be saved if he dies?!" ”

Yang Shouming's eyes widened: "Lord Prefect, don't you know yet, this kind of thing may be done by others, but Ye Qingtian is impossible, but I am worried about what these god-killing Haikou want to do・・・・・・ this Zhang Mazi is really a tricky ・・・・・・"

"Sons, kill the enemy with me!" At this moment, one of the leaders guarding below roared angrily, and while waving his sword, he rushed down the mountain, and there were only a dozen people left behind him, but these were the most elite veterans. These people rushed down, and soon stood at the front of the crumbling defense line, and even forced the pirates to take a few steps back.

Looking at the tragic battlefield within reach, listening to the angry shouts of his subordinate Erlang, Yang Shouming closed his eyes and took a long breath, the air was filled with the smell of blood, coupled with the smell of sea, which was mixed together to make people retch. However, Yang Shouming couldn't care about it so much, the blood-stained Pu knife in his hand was raised high, and the head of the capital who was complaining to him just now immediately understood, threw all the complaints out of the clouds, and rushed down the hill first with a roar.

Yang Shouming did not hesitate, followed closely with the last men and horses, the high "Song" character flag hunted and flew in the wind, and the whirring sound of the flag rolling, as if playing a heroic war song.

Seeing the last Song army roaring down, the Haikou were also excited, and several people who looked like leaders greeted their subordinates one after another, and the attack formation, which was already a little lax, also became more presentable, and they actually blocked the most powerful impact.

"Kill!" Yang Shouming slashed open the Haikou who was blocking in front of him with a knife, splashed blood on his face, and looked up, the sky was cloudy, and a pouring rain may have gradually moved towards this side from the distant sea, and when the time came, a strong wind threatened the Haikou ships, and the Haikou attack would definitely be more rapid.

I'm afraid that the rest of my own manpower will all be folded here.

Several pirates shouted and attacked from both sides, Yang Shouming didn't care about lamenting, and slashed a harpoon that stabbed him diagonally, but he couldn't care about the big knife that slashed at his back from the opposite direction, and in an instant, Yang Shouming shouted in his heart, my life is over!

"Tiha!" One of his subordinates was slashed on his arm with his head fighting, and flew up and knocked Yang Shouming to the ground, his face full of joy for the rest of his life, "Ti Zhi, the reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Several guards had rushed up to block the besieging pirates, Yang Shouming took the opportunity to stand up with his sword, only to the northwest direction of the smoke and dust, dozens of cavalry like arrows off the string, easily ploughed through the layers of human waves, and countless pirates between the knives and the fall of the hands were already in two places.

"It's the prefect's personal soldiers, and the prefect has arrived in person!" Yang Shouming was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly raised his arms and shouted, roaring towards more and more Haikou with the defenders who seemed to have recovered their combat effectiveness in an instant.

Zhao Dutou and his cavalry quickly cut through the chaotic attack formation of the pirates, and not only did he not suffer any losses, but instead caused chaos among the pirates while cutting off many heads. And Niu Dutou also led the soldiers of the two capitals to follow closely behind the cavalry and rushed to kill, seeing that the Haikou people were overwhelming and difficult to break through for a while, they formed a formation to defend.

Ye Mengding, accompanied by Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang, walked up another hill where Yang Shouming took care of each other, and looked at the layers of corpses stretching from the bottom of the hill to the beach, and Yang Shouming also led the remnants to retreat up the hill alternately in order to preserve the remaining strength.

Ye Yingwu, who was standing next to Ye Mengding, covered his mouth with his hand and forced himself not to spit it out, while looking at the battle situation that was not optimistic with a sad face. Although this bloody scene at close range is shocking, fortunately, Ye Yingwu went to various archaeological sites for investigation and practice when he was a student, and it is not that he has never seen a corpse, but he can bear it, and then look at Wen Tianxiang, whose face is a little pale next to him, it is estimated that it is not much better, and he is even more comforted.

"Daddy, there are too few soldiers in Niu Dutou, and we are galloping here, even the cavalry is not enough, let alone the foot soldiers, so let's retreat for the time being." Ye Yingwu looked back, the flying dust behind him had not yet been cut off, and there were still many soldiers rushing over, and he was a little relieved, "The flat stone beach is relatively wide, but the two hills where Yang Tishi and Daddy are located just lock the road to Fenghua and Yinxian, so as long as we rely on the terrain to defend, Haikou will definitely not make a feint." ”

Ye Mengding nodded slowly, waved his hand, a herald had already run down the mountain quickly, and Niu Dutou, who had already been left and right under the attack of the Haikou Kou, naturally did not hesitate, and led the soldiers to retreat to the hill where Ye Mengding was located in an orderly manner, and the bows and crossbows were all aimed at the road below the hill that was not very wide.

And Zhao Dutou also grasped the moment when Haikou exposed his back when he pursued Niu Dutou, and the cavalry that had been trapped on the hill where Yang Shouming was then swooped down from a high altitude and quickly lifted the speed, catching Haikou by surprise.

"Rush!" Yang Shouming was naturally not to be outdone, although his subordinates had been tired and fighting for a long time, but when he looked up and saw Brother Pao Ze who died tragically on the beach, they were all furious, and they actually followed Zhao Dutou's cavalry and guarded a small group of pirates under the hill in fright.

"Yang Shouming did a good job!" Ye Mengding saw Yang Shouming from a distance and then retreated back up the mountain very smartly after killing for a while, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice. The crossbowmen beside him were desperately firing their arrows, and the guards were all on top of it, the most recent of which was less than two feet away from the obvious white-haired old man.

Ye Yingwu pulled out his saber with a "swish", hesitated twice, and still didn't step forward, just carefully looked at the soldiers who were fighting desperately, only to see that one of the middle-aged men who was not tall easily cut down several pirates, and forcibly blocked the weakest point composed of young soldiers.

"What's that good man's name?" Ye Yingwu asked a crossbowman next to him in surprise, who was estimated to be middle-aged.

The crossbowman skillfully discharged the arrows and replied without looking back: "Yang Bao! ”

"He's a good man." Ye Yingwu sighed in admiration, and the meaning of love for talent had risen.

Seeing Ye Yingwu walking around the front unscathed and turning back, Wen Tianxiang asked in surprise: "Yuanlie, everyone is going into battle to fight, why did you come back like this without even a little blood?" ”

Ye Yingwu was a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that he went to the front not to fight at all, but to see if there was any talent available, it was estimated that the cheap father who was standing aside and watching coldly would teach himself a hard lesson, and hurriedly pretended to be very filial and said:

"The foolish brother should be guarding his father's side, just now the foolish brother was in front, and he actually let a sea robber rush to his father's vicinity, which is indeed negligent."

"Where is there so much nonsense, you can also come and see, there are more and more dark clouds in the sky, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger." Ye Mengding said lightly, and the two big flags of the word "Ye" and the word "Song" behind him were whirring in the wind.

The dark clouds in the sky are like ink, and there is a tendency to overwhelm the city.

"Hold on." Ye Yingwu only said two words, and he was silent in front of Ye Mengding.

On the entire flat rocky beach, under the two hills, the sound of killing is rushing into the sky, and the fierce battle is in full swing!

As long as they hold it, when the sea breeze is fierce, it will force the pirates to retreat.

A steady stream of Song troops continued to converge from afar, most of them gathered on the narrow road between the two hills, a shield that was not thick and the arrows that roared turned out to be an insurmountable moat, and the Haikou was helplessly dropped hundreds of corpses under the attack of arrows from three sides, and slowly retreated to the beach.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Haikou had already retreated, and Ye Mengding's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, but looking around, even his own personal guards had died a lot, not to mention the other Song troops, and they no longer ordered to pursue at the moment, but just let Zhao Dutou press up with only dozens of cavalry.

Zhang Mazi, the big leader of the pirates, watched the Song army only have cavalry slowly pursued, and immediately understood what Ye Mengding meant, the largest sea boat quickly raised the flag of retreat, dozens of small boats were already waiting at the beachhead, and the strong pirates scrambled to get on the boat, and the weak ones were naturally abandoned.

The rule of the jungle is perfectly interpreted in the Haikou group.

"Take in the prisoners, and collect the troops." Ye Mengding looked at the abandoned old and weak on the beach, some cried helplessly, some rowed hard in the cold sea water to catch up with the speeding away sea boats, plus those corpses covered with the beachhead, as if they were in hell.

Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang's faces were a little unnatural, they stood together silently, no one spoke, but looking at the expressions of the two people, especially when they saw several unrecognizable corpses pulling past them, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat dinner.
