Zhu Yan had never experienced a battle formation, and the first time she fought a battle, she chose a battle to attack the fortifications, no matter how hard the two thousand bandits worked, they couldn't climb up.

In fact, the main combat goal of the fort was not to resist the infantry army, but to block the river, but unfortunately it was like this Zhu Yan's people were at a loss, how could the rabble be the opponent of a well-trained army, a few charges down, and more than two hundred corpses were left under the wall.

The people were disrupted, Zhu Yan and Zhang Liuzi's people were all mixed together, crowded under the wall, Zhu Yan was so anxious that she chopped her feet, she couldn't take down such a small fort, and she was talking about going back to Beijing.

Zhang Liuzi pulled Zhu Yan back at this time, "Boss, is this how this battle was fought?" I can't attack it, the thieves are too powerful."

Rumble!

A ball of fire exploded under the wall, and the flames instantly engulfed more than a dozen bandits around them.

Zhu Yan's eyes were full of anger, "If you can't fight, you have to fight, you, go and see what's going on with that Hu Damao, why don't you do it yet, burn the warship"

Zhang Liuzi sighed and ran towards Hu Damao and the others, and came back immediately after running a few steps, "Master, look, that bastard is going to run"

Zhu Yan turned to look back, and sure enough, the long snake in the darkness was wriggling towards the landing site that had just landed.

Zhu Yan's silver teeth bited, "Thief, greedy for life and afraid of death"

Zhang Liuzi said, "Then we can't fight or not, if they get the boat away, what will we do?" ”

Zhu Yan pointed to the fort, "Leave him alone, let's talk about the fort, I don't believe it, more than a thousand people can't beat three hundred, rush, rush again"

The firelight reflected the night sky. The entire fort burned on all sides, and fist-sized grenades blossomed in the bandits. Zhu Yan could see that there were already small boats on the Shun army warships on the riverside, and they were moving towards the riverside, and the battle between the two ends was inevitable.

Zhu Yan hurriedly ordered people to go to stop the attack.

The roads are muddy. And there were stabs on the ground, and more than 300 bandits ran all the way, and there were blood stains on the ground.

No more than 100 soldiers disembarked from the ship, and as soon as they landed on the shore, they immediately lined up in formation, with the shieldmen in the front row, the pikemen in the back, and the archers following step by step, drawing their bows and arrows. Break through the air.

The bandits swarmed up, and before they could get closer, many people were shot to the ground, and the bandits squeezed me, I squeezed you, squeaked and screamed, and rushed with big knives.

Just as the two sides were about to approach, the 100 soldiers suddenly dispersed, in groups of six, and the shield soldiers were in front with short swords. Behind him were four pikemen, and the archers also retreated, calmly releasing their arrows as they retreated.

Soon, the various combat groups of the Shun army divided the bandits. The shieldmen only defended and protected the spearmen behind them, while the spearmen only had to stab and kill. There are teammates on the left and right who are protecting each other and relying on each other.

Zhu Yan couldn't see the battle by the river clearly. All she could see was that her people were being shot under the wall one by one, and how could that little low wall be so difficult to climb. This was the first time she had seen such a tragic scene, and it was the first time she had experienced the baptism of war today, and it was so terrible that the female soldiers did not have the courage to rush forward at all, and they were scurrying around the river like headless flies, and they rolled in the snow with their feet in their hands before they ran a few steps.

And looking at the Shun army guards on the fort, it seems that there is no chaos at all, bows and arrows are fired, and the tips of the spears are pierced out in rows, and she only now realizes what a real war is, which is not fun at all, and it is not something that a group of bandits can do.

It's hard to even want to withdraw.

Just when Zhu Yan was stunned, the three hundred bandits sent to the riverside to block them were also broken by the Shun army after dropping more than 100 corpses, and fled in all directions, and there was no one left in a blink of an eye.

Through the reflection of the snow, Zhu Yan could see the one hundred and ten Shun soldiers marching towards the fort in a neat line.

Governor Zhang Liuzi couldn't do it, so he suggested, "If you are in charge, you can't beat it, let's run, if you don't run, you won't be able to run away."

Zhu Yan was really furious, more than a thousand people had no way to take these hundreds of Shun troops, and there were so many casualties, it had only been less than an hour since the war started, what else could they do.

"Withdraw!" Zhu Yan didn't want to use the word 'run', although this ordered, everyone might as well run at all, that is, to run for their lives, hula la when the river surged back and forth, and the army collapsed.

When they ran to the riverside, Hu Damao and others were still fighting with the bandits guarding the boat, thanks to the loyalty of these people, if they hadn't guarded the boat to prevent Hu Damao and others from running, I was afraid that Zhu Yan and others would have to die in Jiangbei.

Zhu Yan shouted angrily at Hu Damao, "The second master, why don't you fight, didn't you tell you to burn the warship?"

Hu Damao also said angrily, "Beat him, I've never seen such a fatal one, didn't you fight it down, Lao Tzu is afraid that they will come to rob the boat and cut off our master's back road."

Zhu Yan desperately suppressed her anger, she knew that she couldn't turn her face with Hu Damao now, there were still hundreds of people under him, and none of them would be able to run away if they wanted to fight.

"Get on the boat, go back," Zhu Yan ordered.

Everyone hunted the moon in this cold winter, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion of ten thousand families, stepping on the kneeless river, hurriedly climbed onto the boat, a riot, and people continued to fall into the water in the panic.

Zhu Yan finally squeezed onto the boat surrounded by everyone, and looked back at it, there were two thousand people when they came, and there were seven or eight hundred fewer in just one hour, and then look at the still burning fort, still standing tall, as if laughing at this group of rabble, shame.

The way back was smooth sailing, and the Shun soldiers did not catch up, this was because the Shun army did not distinguish how many enemies came, and they didn't know if the Ming army had crossed the river, and there were less than 400 soldiers on the fort and the warship, so they did not catch up, otherwise the warship moved, and none of Zhu Yan's group could escape.

The river wind howled, and soon sent Zhu Yan and them to the other side, looking back, the soldiers did not catch up, and when they counted again, there were less than a thousand people, and when they crossed the river just now, they overturned a few boats, and many people fell into the water and fed the fish.

Hu Damao was thinking about whether to kill this girl now, a good time, there are not many people around her now, and more than half of them are injured, but after thinking about it, it is better not to do it, it is so big that it must have alarmed the government, and when the government comes, if you can't find this girl, you won't want to find me as the second master.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a festive celebration in Nanjing, and the whole city is celebrating the Spring Festival.

Long auspicious dragons churn through the streets. attracted bursts of applause from the onlookers and stepped on stilts. Playing lions, all kinds of juggling are everything. There are people along the way, this is the beginning of the temple fair in Nanjing, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month.

No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop this joy of universal celebration.

In the crowd, Wang Lanping was dressed as an ordinary person, holding Fang Ling along the street to watch the scenery, and the shops on both sides of the street were also hung with red lanterns, draped in red and green everywhere.

Behind Wang Lanping was followed by five guards, all of whom were good at their hands and had sharp blades on their bodies. Led by the method, although there are not many people who know Wang Lanping on the street, they are careless.

Fang Ling followed Wang Lanping with the support of two maids.

"Fang Ling, how is Nanjing?" Wang Lanping is in a good mood today, and people are in good spirits when they are happy.

Fang Ling's family went from Henan to Yangzhou, and then to Nanjing, how could they have ever lived this kind of clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths, let alone see the prosperity of the capital, and their hearts have long been happy.

Today's Fang Ling is wearing a tight-fitting embroidered robe. Wearing a moth-yellow cloak, although there was a thick cotton coat inside, it couldn't hide her extremely exaggerated figure.

Since she hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, her hairstyle is still girly. A velvet red flower is embellished in the hair, and the green silk hangs on the shaved shoulders, which is colorful. Petite and exquisite, pure as water, the face is like a flower like a cloud, and he smiles lightly. Still ashamed.

Fang Ling took two steps and pulled Wang Lanping's arm. With a colorful face, "Okay, it's good anywhere there is Xiangye"

Wang Lanping tilted his head and raised the corners of his mouth, "Ghost elf, by the way, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I should give you a gift, you still have one less ornament on your head, go, I remember there is a store in front, pick a few"

He was about to raise his feet and walk forward, but he saw a person walking on the opposite side, and when he heard the voice, he knew who it was.

"Haha, I'll see you from afar, Xiangye" The person who came was Song Dali, who was also dressed in civilian clothes, with a headscarf on his head, a big belly, and two guards and a woman beside him, about thirty years old, dressed as a village girl.

Wang Lanping smiled, "You are not on duty in the palace, why did you come here?"

Song Dali arched his hand and said, "Xiangye, this is not the first day of the new year, Brother Song Xian is staring over there, we are in shifts, my mother-in-law has to let me take her to the street, no way, poor life, once I go to the street, my soul is gone."

Fang Ling covered his mouth and smiled, squatting down and saluting, "I've seen General Song"

Song Dali glared, "Yo, Miss is so neat, look at you, Miss looks like this, this figure, it's really more popular than people, and the goods have to be thrown away."

The woman on the side should be Lord Song's woman, and when she heard this, she hurriedly twisted it on his thigh, "Who are you talking about, don't drill the old lady's bed tonight, where do you look, you throw one to the old lady."

Song Dali hurriedly piled up a smiling face, "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm joking with Xiangye, hurry, hurry up and give Xiangye a gift"

"Xiangye!" The Song woman bent over.

Wang Lanping and Fang Ling looked at each other and smiled, Wang Lanping shook his head and said, "Ouch, I didn't expect that our General Song is still a fearful master, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are better than me, look at the one who cleaned up our general."

The Song woman immediately raised her mouth, "Xiangye, this reckless man of my family can't be defeated if he doesn't fight"

Song Dali hurriedly pulled him, "Hehe, in front of Xiangye, what to say"

It can be seen that this couple is really not a family that does not enter the door, and their lives are as warm as water, but they are deeply emotional.

Fang Ling was very envious, Song Dali was a well-known temper under Xiangye, I heard that a death battle would not cost his life, and a big knife could cut down the feet from the head of the formation, but he didn't expect to be so deferential to his mother-in-law.

"Giggles" Fang Ling bent down with a brocade handkerchief in his hand and smiled, "Brother Song is so blessed, they all say that people who are afraid of their wives have a future"

The Song woman was full of pride, smiling, and stepped forward to pull Fang Ling to look up and down, "Tsk, this little lady looks so smart, look at this skin, this clothing, hey, I'm afraid I have no hope in this life."

Song Dali was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled her back, "Hehe, where to touch it, look at your rough hands, don't give the girl's hands to you."

Wang Lanping said with a smile, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, it's just right, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Ling is going to pick out jewelry, you also go to pick up pieces together, the right to be a meeting gift, there is a time-honored brand in front, the things in it are good, let's go together."

Song woman's face was happy, "That, how embarrassing it is, I can still pick a new dress, it's the same as the girl's"

Song Dali grinned, "Xiangye, see the smile, I haven't seen this mother-in-law before."

Fang Ling also pulled the Song woman forward at the moment, the two talked and laughed, they seemed to be a pair of sisters, and women were really easy to communicate.

Wang Lanping and Song Dali walked together, Wang Lanping said, "Have you settled down at home?" ”

"Okay, and Brother Song Xian are neighbors, the house is not big, bring a small courtyard, make do, I don't pay attention to it, I used to have two thatched houses at home, thanks to the care of Xiangye"

Wang Lanping said, "I said that you are the commander of the right guard of Yulin, the official is the general of Longhu, your military salary and monthly salary this month seem to be more than two hundred taels, you can't buy a few decent clothes for your mother-in-law, people have been with you for more than ten years, don't treat others badly"

Song Dali hurriedly explained, "What's the matter, didn't you just move here, you can't get used to her too much, how will I live this life in the future?"

Wang Lanping said, "I heard that you have been running to the Qinhuai River recently, tell you, don't sprinkle the silver to those places, your mother-in-law is good, she has been with you for more than ten years, and she will never give up. "

"Xiangye, you have wronged me, I am accompanying that Song Xian, oh yes, he won't let me say, look at my mouth, it's all over, Xiangye"

"Song Xian, yes, this kid is still single, I'll help me find one another day, he seems to be twenty-seven, it's time to start a family"

"Xiangye, don't worry about it, he has a good look, and he looks handsome."

"Oh? Which girl? I didn't see it, this stuffy gourd is going to be in trouble."

"Hehe, he's pretending to be honest, he spends miles in his heart, and he runs to the Qinhuai River as soon as he is not on duty, and he throws away all his military salary, and he has to marry that girl"

"What? Are you saying that he fell in love with a kiln|sister? ”

"It's not good, but, this kiln sister is not ordinary, red through half of Nanjing City, color and art are unique, this Song Xian is fascinated, Xiangye, don't say that I said it, he threw a bunch of silver on that girl, the most hateful thing is that he didn't even touch his hand, I was so anxious for him"

Wang Lanping was a little surprised, not that the honest man also had flowery intestines, but that the kiln sister aroused his interest, Song Xian was a dignified dragon and tiger general, and the official was a second-grade military general in the dynasty, and he couldn't even handle the kiln sister, are you still my Wang Lanping's soldier?

"Who, the shelf is not small"

"The head card of 'Xiangxiao Embroidery Pavilion' is called Li Xiangjun"

"Who? Qin Huai Bayan? Wang Lanping blurted out, it's just that no one knows this title in this era, Bayan is also a legend from later generations, and the emotional story of Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu, a great genius in the south of the Yangtze River, is very famous.

Song Dali was stunned, "What Bayan?" It's so glamorous that it's very glamorous, it's just that her heart is a little higher, who she thinks she is, she looks more like a fairy, that's a kiln|sister, by the way, that girl has a good look, a little white face, rich and powerful, and can write poems, what's it called, yes, Hou Fangyu, is fighting with Song Xianna"

Wang Lanping stopped, "Fight? It's interesting."

Song Dali became more and more energetic as he spoke, and clapped his hands, "It's not what's wrong, the 'Xiangxiao Embroidery Pavilion' has to redeem two thousand days of silver, it's only been half a month, and it has been added to three thousand taels, Song Xian is in a hurry to get around looking for his brothers to make up money these days."

Hou Fangyu! Wang Lanping silently recited it a few times in his heart, as if this person is inextricably linked with the Jiangnan Donglin Party, and not long ago, he also made a mockery of the 'Abolished Pavilion and Minister', okay, I finally met you here, you should be unlucky. (To be continued.) )
