Chapter 082 Reinforcements Arrived
Lu Meng shouted in his heart, but saw Yuan Ying being pulled to the boat by the soldiers, and saw her standing on the deck to direct the soldiers to drive the boat, and the Jingzhou soldiers also listened to her command, rowing the oars together, and these five warships actually carried the Jingzhou soldiers to the center of the river,
At this time, Lu Meng came to his senses, was so anxious that he turned around, stomped his feet and scolded, and ordered the soldiers to hurry up and chase after him, waiting for death. β
As soon as Wu Bing heard Lu Meng's shouting, he also came to his senses, and they jumped into the water and swam to the warship.
Although all of them are wearing winter clothes, it is not very convenient to swim, but Wu soldiers are all water ducks are good water nature, although the warship is far away from the river bank, but there is good water Wu Bing actually rushed over and got on the warship, and when he came to him, he stretched out his hand and climbed the side of the boat to climb the boat.
Yuan Ying didn't give them a chance, and ordered the Jingzhou soldiers: "Cut down with a knife, and none of them are allowed to board." β
In fact, at this time, there is no need for Yuan Ying's orders, Jingzhou soldiers know what to do,
I saw them standing next to the side of the ship, they didn't even have to bend their waists, and when they picked up their waist knives, they chopped and chopped indiscriminately, and they actually chopped off Wu Bing's fingers on the side of the ship.
I could only hear a ghost crying wolf howl under the side of the boat, and Wu Bing, who had his fingers chopped off, instantly sank to the bottom of the water, leaving only clumps of blood scattered on the surface of the river.
On the shore, Lu Meng commanded the arrows to be released, and when the Wu soldiers and arrows came over, they all fell into the river, which was too far to shoot on the boat.
At this time, Lu Meng had no idea on the shore, but he was so anxious that he turned around and cursed, but there was no way.
Yuan Ying on the boat was also thinking: "What to do, where to go, it is impossible to turn back and fight with Wu Bing, turn the bow of the ship and return to Xiangyang along the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, rectify the men and horses and come back to fight again, yes, that's it." β
However, at this time, Yuan Ying still couldn't rest assured that this group of Wu soldiers was left behind, and he always felt that leaving them here was a scourge.
At this time, Yuan Ying was looking forward to the reinforcements on the shore, and also hoped that the reinforcements from Xiangyang would come over quickly, so Yuan Ying ordered the ships to stop on the river, while monitoring the movements of the Wu soldiers, while waiting for the reinforcements to come.
This side also made it difficult for Lu Meng, he stood on the dock and looked at his five warships, carrying hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers wandering on the river, and lost his mind for a while.
It is impossible for Lu Meng to kill the past; I want to carry out the plan I originally made.,My whereabouts were discovered by this beautiful girl.,So I lost my mind.,I had to stand here thinking about what to do next.,
At this moment, Yuan Ying on the boat suddenly saw more than a dozen warships lined up from the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, full of sails and sailing towards him.
Yuan Ying was taken aback at first, thinking that it was Wu Bing who came to reinforce Lu Meng.
Although he saw that the soldiers on the ship were all wearing Jingzhou soldier clothes, Yuan Ying was deceived by the Wu soldiers on the shore, and now there were more than a dozen military ships, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle and prepare to fight.
Slowly waiting until the warship approached, she found Liu Cong standing at the bow of the boat, beckoning to herself with a waist knife in his hand, Yuan Ying's heart was hot, and she thought: "Didn't the husband go to the shore to inspect it, why did you come here." β
While thinking like this, Yuan Ying instructed the soldiers to turn the bow of the boat, get out of the water, and ask Liu Cong's men and horses to let the boat come over.
It turned out that Liu Cong took people to the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River to check the situation of the refugees, and when he came to the post station, he saw that the post station had already become a pile of dust buried in the ruins.
There are some refugees moving near and far, and from time to time there are refugee women and children crying.
The north wind blows, and it is very desolate,
Liu Cong gritted his teeth and cursed, just lowered his head and paced, anxiously waiting to figure out the situation,
At this moment, Ma Zhu'er came over to report that more than a dozen Xiangjiang military ships came from upstream, and some sailors disembarked and landed to search for thieves.
When Liu Cong heard this, he ordered all the soldiers to board the ship with him to learn about the losses in Xiangyang City.
So, a group of people came to the docks,
It turned out that the general of this sailor was Cai Qian, Cai Mao's distant brother,
After Cai Qian received Liu Cong on boarding, he hurriedly greeted him.
Liu Cong asked Cai Qian where he led thousands of sailors, and Cai Qian replied that a few days ago, the sericulture refugees on both sides of the Xiangjiang River were suddenly killed by robbers, and he didn't know where these robbers were.
The news reached the Xiangyang Yamen, and Liu Bei, the acting head of the Yamen, instructed the land and water armies to send men and horses to chase and suppress the thieves, so he was ordered to chase and kill the thieves along the Xiangjiang River.
He led the ship to chase all the way to the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, but he didn't even encounter a robber.
It turned out that these robbers fled downstream while committing murder, killed many refugees, burned many of their property, and when they came to the left bank of the river, they took the opportunity to conquer a guard barracks by the river, killed hundreds of soldiers, boarded a warship and fled to the river.
Cai Qian said that our warship had just returned from the downstream and did not want to meet the lord: "Dare to ask the lord where he is going." β
At this time, a scout came to report, saying that Mrs. Yuan was fighting with thieves at the Jiangkou simple wharf, and sent someone to ask for help.
When Liu Cong heard this, considering that the boat was going down the river and the speed was fast, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the fleet to rush forward, move closer to the simple dock on the right bank, and hurry to help Yuan Ying.
In this way, on the surface of the river, Liu Cong saw the five warships commanded by Yuan Ying from a distance.
As soon as Liu Cong saw that Yuan Ying and the soldiers on the ship were all soaked, and knew that there was no damage, he relieved himself and ordered the ship to hurry up and go ashore.
At this time, Liu Cong didn't know that the soldiers on the shore were Wu soldiers, so he just commanded the soldiers to come ashore.
At this time, Lu Meng was in a desperate situation, standing on the dock and seeing more than a dozen warships lined up in a row, full of sails and pressing over, knowing that something was wrong, he anxiously thought about a strategy,
This Lu Meng is not a person who has never seen the world, he has led troops for many years, he is bold and bold, and his decision on the spot is very simple, and when he saw the situation at this time, he immediately ordered: "The groups are scattered, now act according to the original plan, and start." β
As soon as this order was issued, hundreds of Dongwu scouts instantly divided into more than a dozen groups, and disappeared into the dense forests on the north bank of the river under the leadership of their respective Dubo.
After Liu Cong led the soldiers on the ship to land, only a lonely wharf stood on the river bank, and there was not a single human hair on all sides, and Wu Bing seemed to have evaporated in an instant.
Liu Cong stood still on the dock, first greeted Yuan Ying, and then turned around and ordered: "Cai Qian immediately leads a thousand soldiers to pursue Wu Bing." β
After Cai Qian led his troops into the dense forest, Gan Ning instructed the two Dubo: "You two each bring fifty elite soldiers, drive a boat along the north bank of the river, closely monitor the river, and prevent Wu soldiers from escaping." β
Besides, this Lu Meng led a team of sneak attack Wu soldiers and fled along the north bank of the Yangtze River in the direction of Jiangling.
According to the original plan, Lu Meng instructed the remaining dozen or so groups to flee and go deep north of the river bank to find the warehouse of the Jingzhou Bingtuntian Grain Station, "As long as you see the warehouse, immediately go over and set it on fire, after the flames rise, do not be greedy, leave immediately, march to the march, and finally concentrate in Liangjiawan Village, Wuji Mountain, east of Jiangling, after arriving there, I have my own arrangements." β
After these Wu soldiers left the simple dock, they did what Lu Meng ordered.
However, from the simple wharf to the north bank of the river in the Jiangling area, it is the place where Guan Yu led his troops to Tuntian, and besides, fifty miles west of the simple wharf, there are 10,000 elite soldiers led by Wei Yan.
Just a few days ago, Wei Yan and Guan Yu both received an order from the Xiangyang Yamen, which told them that they had recently discovered that a small group of Wu soldiers disguised themselves as Jingzhou soldiers had infiltrated the Hanshui area on the north bank of the Yangtze River to kill people and set fires, with the aim of destroying Jingzhou's Tuntian undertakings.
After Guan Yu Weiyan saw the order, he immediately executed it and sent a large number of patrols to patrol along the river.
On the fourth day, the Wu soldiers led by LΓΌ Meng fled westward, and were basically killed or captured by the Jingzhou soldiers, leaving only LΓΌ Meng and four personal soldiers, and they did not dare to flee to Liangjiawan to hide, but only came to a ditch west of Wulin and hid in the homes of two fishermen.
Seeing that the wind had passed, Lu Meng killed the two fishermen to the point that no one was left, and then, packed up all the food, loaded it into two sampan fishing boats, and took advantage of the night to sneak into the river and flee downstream.
In this way, it took more than ten days for him to escape and return to Chaisang City.
Besides, after Liu Cong ordered Cai Qian to go ashore to chase and kill the thieves on the dock, he ordered Liang Zhu'er to send troops to strengthen the guard around the pier, and then came in to talk to Yuan Ying.
At this time, Yuan Ying, Pang Zihui and other female soldiers had already changed their clothes, and when they saw Liu Cong coming in, they all got up to greet him.
Liu Cong hurriedly came over to comfort Yuan Ying and said, "I didn't expect Wu Bing to be so treacherous and frighten his wife, it was all Liu Cong's crime." β
Yuan Ying said with a smile: "Husband, on the battlefield, swords and swords, dangers are everywhere, there are too many unknowable factors, it's just the same today, how can you complain about your husband, fortunately, your husband arrived in time with the troops, otherwise, Yuan Ying will be in trouble for a while, and the consequences will be really unpredictable." β
After hearing this, Liu Cong suddenly felt pity, couldn't help but block everyone's face, came over and hugged Yuan Ying in his arms, and comforted: "From now on, I will never let my wife be frightened again." β
Liu Cong said, brushing Yuan Ying's hair with his hand, only to feel wet and steamy, so he hurriedly found a cloth towel to wipe it for Yuan Ying.
When Pang Zihui and the female soldiers saw it, they couldn't help laughing,
Yuan Ying stopped Liu Cong's actions and said with a smile: "Husband, don't worry, although the weather is cold, fortunately, he is not injured, but he is just a little wet, how can he be so delicate." β
Yuan Ying said, touched a cloth towel wrapped around her head, patted the cushion next to the case with one hand and said: "Husband, please sit, it's not easy for you, where did you bring the troops over, it was so timely, as if it was agreed in advance, the slave and maid were in a predicament, and I didn't expect the husband to lead the troops to come to the rescue in time." β
Liu Cong smiled and told the process of leading the troops, and after finishing speaking, he asked: "Madame thinks how many people and horses can come over and kill this Wu soldier." β
Yuan Ying said: "This is really hard to estimate, well, there are wounded soldiers outside the house, why don't you bring in a few for interrogation." β
When Liu Cong heard this, he immediately ordered: "Bring the Wu soldiers prisoners in for questioning." β
Outside the door, a stack of promises, after a while, brought in a wounded soldier with a broken arm, 082
