The Jiangnan army was wiped out, and the news that Meng Haigong was about to be killed soon spread all over Jiangning City, because the slaughter of the city in Biling County had made the people of Jiangning County panic, so the news quickly caused great panic in the city, and the people in the city simply packed up and began to help the old and the young flee.

Several city gates were crowded with people fleeing the city, and dozens of horse-drawn carts and ox carts were blocked in the gates, making the crowd extremely slow.

The city was densely packed with people, stretching for miles, with cries, shouts, and curses weaving together at the city gates, and three hundred soldiers maintaining order and guiding people out of the city.

In front of the White Tiger Building, the headquarters of the Jiangnan Society, dozens of ordinary members of the Jiangnan Society surrounded Xie Yong, and they were so excited that they shouted angrily.

Lu Yan from Wu County trembled with resentment, he had already received the news that his youngest daughter who married into the Qu family was trampled to death by soldiers, he was extremely distressed, grabbed Xie Yong's clothes and yelled: "Why don't you accept the Sui army into Jiangnan?" If you have to let Jiangnan suffer a military disaster, Wu County was killed so many people, who will be responsible! ”

This is the most resentful thing for the scholars, Zhang Xuan is willing to send troops to exterminate Meng Haigong, these great families not only concealed this important information, but also refused the support of the Sui army, so that their families were killed, and each family will pay an extremely heavy pension, not only that, their estates, houses and domestic servants will also fall into the hands of thieves, this loss is really too much for them to afford.

Xie Yong was scolded by the family, and he desperately explained: "Things are not so simple, Zhang Xuan asked to dissolve the Jiangnan Association, we can't accept it!" ”

His explanation made the crowd even more angry, and Lu Yan punched him in the face hard, "Jiang Nan will be a fart, my daughter is dead, you pay back my daughter!" ”

Lu Yan cried bitterly, and everyone condemned several families for being too selfish, only thinking about their own interests, regardless of whether other clans lived or died.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came and reported to Xie Yongyu: "I didn't find Yuan Gong, and asked the people on the dock, and they said that Yuan Gong had already gotten on the boat and left, and he should be going to Jiangdu." ”

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the crowd was completely furious, and countless fists slammed into Xie Yong........

The time has gradually reached dusk, the wharf outside Jiangning City gathered a sea of people, hundreds of thousands of people anxiously waiting for the boat to pick them up to cross the river, I don't know who spread the news, Jiangnan will send them to the other side of the Yangtze River.

The autumn wind was bitter, rolling up puffs of dust, the wind and waves were high on the river, the waves crashed along the shore, and the crowd kept coming the crying of children, the sobbing of women and the sighs of old people.

At this time, a group of more than 100 soldiers rushed over, and the soldiers at the head shouted: "There are no ships in the Jiangnan Society, everyone should flee westward quickly!" The army of the Meng thieves was less than thirty miles. ”

The crowd was in chaos, the cries shook the sky, and the terrified civilians got up one after another, preparing to flee for their lives to the east.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the river and shouted: "Look, the fleet is coming!" ”

Countless people looked at the river one after another, only to see a huge fleet of ships appeared on the river, led by ten huge ocean-going boats, with a huge flag on the bow, fluttering in the wind in the setting sun, it was a Phnom Penh green dragon red flag.

"It's King Qi's fleet!"

There was cheering on the dock, and people shouted excitedly: "King Qi has come to save us!" ”

Many old people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, shouting on their backs: "The sky has eyes! ”

Jiangning Wharf can dock 10 3,000 stone boats at the same time, 10 transoceanic boats have docked one after another, put on a wide plank, a group of Sui soldiers got down from the big boat, began to support the people to get on the boat, a transoceanic boat can carry 3,000 people, 10 large ships transported 30,000 people, 10 transoceanic boats turned around and sailed to the opposite shore one after another.

Immediately after that, a large ship of 3,000 stone docked, carrying the elderly, weak, women and children on board, and hundreds of large ships were enough to transport more than 100,000 people.

At the same time, the 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry who disembarked first had already deployed in front of the dock under the leadership of Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin, and set up suspicious troops, as if the momentum of an army of fifty or sixty thousand, ready to meet Meng Haigong's vanguard army.

Zhang Xuan was on a 3,000-stone ship, and there were soldiers leading hundreds of scholars on the big ship, and when everyone heard that the young general wearing a golden helmet in front of them was the world-famous Qi King Zhang Xuan, hundreds of people knelt down and kowtowed together to thank them for saving their lives.

Lu Yan fell to the ground crying and cried: "Your Highness, Meng thief slaughtered Wu County, my poor daughter!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly helped him up, comforting him with kind words, and he asked the soldiers to help everyone up, and said to everyone in a loud voice: "I heard that the Meng thief was in the south of the Yangtze River, and I wanted to lead the army south to save thousands of Li people, but Jiangnan will sternly refuse the Sui army to go south, I have no choice, I have been leading the fleet to cruise on the river, I didn't expect to really save everyone, I am also very excited, please rest assured, I Zhang Xuan will not destroy the Meng thief, and I will never return north." ”

Hundreds of people cheered, at this time, Xie Yong stepped forward and knelt down, he was moved in his heart, and ashamed, he tearfully said to Zhang Xuan: "Your Highness has benevolence and righteousness, and personally saved the innocent people of Jiangning from fire and water, from now on, Jiangnan is willing to surrender to His Highness, and there will never be chaos again." ”

Everyone expressed their attitudes, "We are willing to surrender to Your Highness, and implore Your Highness to send troops to recover our homeland for us and exterminate the Meng thief!" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and sincerely said to everyone: "The interests of the Jiangnan Shi clan are also the interests of my Zhang Xuan, I will resolutely defend your interests, sweep away the Meng thieves, recover the homeland, and restore the peace and tranquility of Jiangnan." ”

........

Meng Haigong's 3,000 forwards have been killed in Jiangning County, but Jiangning County has become an empty city, leaving only more than 1,000 old people who refuse to leave home, the pioneer general is called Wang Shun, and he is also an extremely cruel person, he took the initiative to ask Ying to get this pioneer opportunity, but he didn't expect it to be an empty city, which made him very angry.

At this moment, a soldier rushed to him and shouted: "General, I have heard, the people of the city are all in the docks!" ”

"Where's the dock?"

"It's five miles west of the city!"

Wang Shun waved his hand, "Go to the dock!" ”

At this time, it was getting late, the dock was brightly lit, and the Sui warships were still busy carrying civilians to the other side, and more than 100,000 people would have to be carried at least overnight.

On the official road in front of the dock, 20,000 Sui troops are hiding in the woods, they have received information that Meng Haigong's 3,000 forwards are killing this side of the dock, because the commander Zhang Xuan is not on the shore, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan reached a consensus to annihilate this thief army.

"General, they're coming!"

Luo Shixin perked up, clenched the big iron gun, and saw an army rushing towards the official road, although they were out of breath and looked very tired, but one by one they were still very excited, rushing to the dock.

Luo Shixin scolded secretly and shouted: "Prepare the bow and crossbow!" ”

Five thousand crossbowmen brushed the ground and raised their crossbows, aiming at the official road eighty paces away, and after a while, three thousand soldiers entered the ambush circle, and Luo Shixin shouted, "Shoot!" ”

There is no need for the sound of bangzi, the soldiers fired arrows in unison, and the dense crossbow arrows shot at the thief soldiers on the official road, the thief army was caught off guard, and suddenly screamed, a group of soldiers fell down with arrows, and six or seven hundred people were killed and injured in a round of arrows, and the thief army was in a big mess, turned around and fled.

Luo Shixin waved his spear, "Kill me!" ”

The drums beat loudly, and the Sui army in ambush in the woods came out to cover up, Luo Shixin took the lead, and the big iron spear stabbed left and right, instantly stabbing seven or eight thief soldiers, but he wanted to find the thief general who was the leader, and looked around, but he disappeared, so angry that he roared and waved his gun to kill the group of thieves.

Wang Shun, like all the thieves, was both brutal and greedy, and at the same time extremely cunning, when the first round of arrows fired by the Sui army, he realized that something was wrong, turned his horse's head and ran back, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the rear army urgently followed him.

But running out of less than two miles, only to hear a drum, oblique stabbing out of a cavalry, facing a general, it is the cavalry general Pei Xingyan, Pei Xingyan rushed to Wang Shun's eyes, without waiting for him to react, the horse lance was as fast as lightning, a lance pierced Wang Shun's chest, picked him under the horse, Pei Xingyan shouted: "Kill!" Not a single one is left. ”

The Sui army surrounded the thief army from all sides, no matter how they surrendered and begged for mercy, the Sui army did not leave prisoners of war, and all of them were killed, this was the order of the commander Zhang Xuan, Meng Haigong's army was killed, and their heads were used to recover the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

Although the Sui army laid a net, there were still a few fish that slipped through the net, and a few thieves and soldiers escaped the ambush and killing of the two Sui troops, and fled eastward in panic. (To be continued.) )
