Chapter 117: Don't Think Black Eats Black
After the Wagang Army appeared, in another dense forest next to it, a peasant rebel army in the same ragged clothes also rushed out almost at the same time, shouting and cheering and rushing to the river, the number was obviously more than the Wagang Army, but the banners were messy, the queue was quite loose in the east and west, and the weapons in their hands were even more messy and shoddy, and the Wagang Army with relatively unified weapons and equipment was very different, and it was also very similar to the second and third line teams of the rebels that Chen Yingliang had encountered on the counterinsurgency battlefield before.
At the same time, another official ship had been towed to the shore, and the Wagang army on the shore flew out dozens of ropes with iron hooks, which accurately hooked the side of the ship, and pulled and dragged it to the shore.
The official boat under Chen Yingliang's feet was in slightly better condition, because Chen Yingliang reacted quickly and gave orders in time, the official on the boat cut some hook ropes in time, and was dragged to the shore a little slower. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang hurriedly yelled again, ordered the official to continue cutting the rope, and personally pulled out the horizontal knife to participate in the rope cutting, but the sailor's exclamation sounded at the bow of the ship, "It's an iron chain, keep chopping!" ”
Chen Yingliang turned his head in shock, and saw that there was indeed an iron chain with a hook at the bow of the ship firmly hooking the side of the ship, and at the other end of the chain, a small boat was already about to land on the river bank. ”
The race against time began, the sailors of the official ship hurriedly found the axe, rushed to the bow of the ship and slammed the side of the ship, and the tail end of the iron chain was sent to the shore at the same time, the Wagang army on the shore dragged the iron chain back, and struggled to pull the official ship to the shore, the uncontrollable official ship was forced to approach the river bank, and the sawdust flew sideways at the side of the ship, both sides were competing for speed, and the scene was so tense that it was almost breathless.
There was a loud bang, and finally, the side of the ship that was split by the axe could not stand the huge pull, and finally broke off with the sawdust in the sky, the official ship stopped leaning towards the river bank, and the Wagang soldiers who were dragging the iron chains on the shore fell to the ground, and the officers and sailors on Chen Yingliang's boat also immediately cheered.
Chen Yingliang's boat was temporarily out of danger, but another official ship that was dragged to the shore was miserable, and before the official ship even had time to completely dock, the soldiers of the Wagang Army had already climbed and jumped on the boat in groups, and as soon as they got on the boat, they immediately waved their knives to kill people, and without saying a word, they killed people when they saw them, and immediately threw them into the river after being hacked to death and slashed and wounded, and the cries and screams on the deck and in the cabin shook the sky, and many officers and sailors were thrown into the river alive, struggling and shouting for help in the canal, ups and downs, and the Wagang Army team laughed wildly on the deck, and could still be heard faintly. Kill all the dog officers and soldiers' shouts.
Seeing this scene, the officials and servants of the Eastern Capital led by Qian Xiangmin were of course glad that they had not suffered this fate, but Qian Xiangmin and others soon found that they were glad too early, and the iron chain that fell into the water was quickly picked up by the sailors of the Wagang Army and thrown back the hook to the side of the boat, and more than ten small boats that had hooked another official ship to the shore also changed their goals, and they rushed towards Chen Yingliang's boat with their oars, and the ropes with iron hooks also flew into the air one by one, with a whistling hook to Chen Yingliang's boat, A particularly unlucky official was hit in the head by a big iron hook, and his brain burst to the ground and died.
Fortunately, with the previous experience, this time there is no need for Chen Yingliang to order the response, in order to survive, the officers and sailors on the ship have already rushed to cut ropes to fight against the common hook rejection tactics in ancient water warfare, and they are very angry to throw the heavy iron chain hook on the deck that the Wagang army finally threw into the river first, without giving the Wagang army a chance to repeat the old tricks. It was also taking this opportunity that Chen Yingliang hurriedly observed the entire battlefield carefully and calculated how to deal with it.
The Wagang army on the shore has about 12,300 people, judging from the banner, it should be about six colonels, and the other rebel army does not have a unified banner, it can only be roughly estimated to be more than 2,000 people, in terms of numbers, these enemies are not terrible, as long as the two regiments of Guo Feng and Chen Ci can reach the battlefield, Chen Yingliang believes that it will not be difficult to defeat these enemies. At the same time, Chen Yingliang also found two small details, the first detail is that the handsome flag of the Wagang Army has a big 'Xu' written on it, and the second detail is that the Wagang Army and the other rebel army did not completely merge into one, but carefully kept a certain distance.
After probably confirming the enemy's situation, Chen Yingliang quickly turned his head to look at the upper reaches of the canal, and then was extremely disappointed to find that the upper reaches of the canal were empty and there was not a boat or boat.
The blessing of the officials on the boat desperately saved themselves, the hook and rejection tactics of the Wagang army have never succeeded, the boat has always maintained a distance of more than ten zhang from the riverbank, and the Wagang army, which lacks large ships, cannot quickly rush to the official ship to kill people and seize the ship, Chen Yingliang was also secretly happy for a while, and said that he was saved this time. But Chen Yingliang, who didn't know much about water warfare and the Wagang Army, still underestimated some of the Wagang Army's adaptability, first the archers of the Wagang Army began to throw a rain of arrows at the official ship, and then a strange knocking sound suddenly sounded on the flanks of the official ship, and the sailors with experience in the water also shouted, "Lord Fucheng, it's not good, the Wagang thieves are scuttling our ship!" ”
"Scuttling a ship?!" Chen Yingliang's face changed greatly, knowing that if the **** could not arrive in time, he would only have two ends left, one was that the official ship was dragged to the shore, and the Wagang army hacked himself to death, and the other was that the Wagang army scuttled the bottom of the boat, and the cabin was flooded and drowned alive.
"Chen Ji room, what should I do? What should I do? Qian Xiangmin grabbed Chen Yingliang's sleeve again, and asked with a handful of snot and tears, "The Wagang thief is pulling the boat and scuttling the boat, what should we do?" What should I do? ”
"Deal with the enemy who pulls the boat and smashes it underwater with something!"
Chen Yingliang categorically chose to die and struggle, and personally picked up the debris on the ship and smashed it under the ship, and the officials on the ship also did the same, but those experienced sailors immediately pointed out that it was useless to do so, because experienced ship-digging ghosts generally hide at the bottom of the ship and chisel upwards, but Chen Yingliang didn't care so much at all, but just ordered the officials to continue to fight against the hook and rejection tactics of the Wagang Army, and once again smashed the heavy iron chains that the Wagang Army had finally thrown onto the side of the ship back into the water, and at the same time kept smashing the ship with heavy objects, desperately trying to gain time.
Chen Yingliang's dying struggle completely angered the Wagang army on the shore, and more Wagang army sailors jumped into the water to swim to scuttle the boat, and at the same time, those Wagang army sailors who drove small boats also began to climb the side of the ship, wanting to rush up and directly kill people and set fires, but fortunately, the ship's officers had been prepared this time, and held the side of the ship to condescendingly slash and stab the ship-climbing sailors, and did not give the Wagang sailors a chance to rush to the deck for the time being.
At this time, another official ship that had been captured by the Wagang Army rang out with an angry roar, "Damn it, it's porcelain!" It's all a pile of broken porcelain! Worthless stuff! ”
Of course, the Jun kiln porcelain, one of the five famous kilns in China, is definitely not a worthless broken porcelain, but for the Wagang army, which relies on robbing grain to eat and has no culture, the Jun kiln porcelain that cannot be eaten or worn is indeed just a pile of good-looking garbage, and it took so much effort to work hard for so long, but only such garbage was grabbed, and the Wagang army team on the shore suddenly became furious, and the roars of the officers and soldiers who killed the dogs came one after another. The general of the Wagang Army who led the team was also disappointed, and said angrily: "Fuck it, so many officers and soldiers escorted, I thought it was some kind of treasure, and I caused Lao Tzu to pay for a dhow!" Pass the order down, kill all these dog officials, and leave no one behind! ”
Under the anger of the enemy, the bows and arrows were shot more violently, fortunately, the bows and arrows of the Wagang army were not too much, and the density of arrow rain was not strong, Chen Yingliang did not have much danger as long as he was a little careful, but the threat from under the ship was becoming more and more violent, several Wagang army sailors had already rushed to the deck, and were fighting with the escort officer who had no way out, and at the same time, the sound of the chiseling under the ship was getting more and more intensive, and the officer who monitored the situation in the cabin also reported that water seepage had been discovered.
Finally, all the officers and sailors in the cabin rushed out, shouting loudly to report that the cabin had been sprayed in several places, and then the official ship gradually began to sink, and the soldiers of the Wagang Army in the water on the shore shook the sky, but Chen Yingliang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't decide whether to jump into the water to escape - Chen Yingliang did know some dog planing, but this water was so watery that in front of the Wagang Army team that made a living by robbing the canal, there was some hope for survival, but Chen Yingliang was not sure at all.
After a few plops, the sailors on the official ship could not stand the torture of fear, and several people jumped into the river to flee for their lives, but their immediate screams, as well as the corpses that quickly surfaced to the surface, and the water stained red with blood, warned the remaining officers and sailors on the ship that this road was impassable. Seeing this scene, Qian Xiangmin knelt directly on the deck and hugged Chen Yingliang's legs and howled and cried, needless to say, Chen Yingliang, who never found the arrival of the National Army, was also desperate, closed his eyes and said: "The wind and waves are coming, is Lao Tzu really going to capsize in this small ditch today?" ”
"There's a ship coming!" The sudden cheers made Chen Yingliang open his eyes immediately, and when he quickly turned his head to look upstream, Chen Yingliang immediately despaired, because the incoming ship was not a large official ship carrying **** soldiers, but a very small ordinary civilian boat.
"Huh?" In desperation, Chen Yingliang suddenly and was extremely surprised to see that at the bow of the civilian boat that was rushing with its sails open, there was a person who put a knife on the neck of a boatman, forcing the civilian boat to quickly get on his own slowly sinking official ship.
The small boat with full sails finally approached Chen Yingliang's boat, and a vaguely familiar crisp voice sounded on the boat, "The surname is Chen, jump up quickly!" ”
"Fight!" Chen Yingliang didn't care so much, so he jumped on the civilian boat with a jump, but fortunately, the distance was very close, and most of Chen Yingliang's boat had sunk, and Chen Yingliang was very safe and successfully jumped ship. Immediately afterwards, Qian Xiangmin, who had always been extremely obscene, didn't know where a sense of courage came out, and he actually jumped off the boat with Chen Yingliang, and fell heavily beside Chen Yingliang, crying for a while in pain.
After Chen Yingliang and Qian Xiangmin successfully jumped ship one after the other, the civilian boat with full sails had already passed the sinking official ship and rushed downstream, and the Wagang army on the shore roared angrily, and several Wagang army boats chased after them.
"Let's go!" The man with the knife turned his back to Chen Yingliang and shouted an order, and the boatman who was held hostage had no choice but to shout to the rocking boatman: "Son, go quickly." ”
"How are you?!" Chen Yingliang finally recognized this familiar voice, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at the knife-wielding man, and sure enough, it was really Pei Cuiyun who was dressed as a man again! Shocked, Chen Yingliang blurted out, "Why are you here?" ”
"As I said, we're not done." Pei Cuiyun's expression was as proud as a peacock with an open screen, and he snorted: "I saved you once today, how can you thank me?" ”
Bang, without waiting for Chen Yingliang to answer, a small boat of the Wagang Army had already collided with the boat hired by Pei Cuiyun, and then another boat chased after him, and the sailors of the Wagang Army on the boat jumped over one after another, Chen Yingliang was helpless, so he had to quickly pull out his horizontal knife and wave it, Pei Cuiyun also knew that the matter was urgent, so he had to push away the boatman who was held hostage by himself, and raised his knife to fight the sailors of the Wagang Army, and with his skillful knife skills, he cut down a Wagang Army sailor at once, and met the enemy side by side with Chen Yingliang, while Qian Xiangmin continued to squat behind Chen Yingliang with his head and cry without mentioning.
Chen Yingliang and Pei Cuiyun both underestimated the contingency methods of some Wagang Army soldiers, seeing that Pei Cuiyun was very skilled, the Wagang Army sailors who jumped over did not fight head-on, but first cut the sail cable, so that the sail fell and the speed of the ship slowed down, and at the same time, two Wagang Army sailors rushed into the cabin and forced the boatman to go to the north shore, while the rest of the people surrounded Pei Cuiyun and Chen Yingliang, and cooperated quite skillfully.
Under the persecution of the Wagang army, Pei Cuiyun hired this small boat and soon docked on the north bank of the Yongji Canal. Seeing this scene, not to mention that Qian was foaming at the mouth and Chen Yingliang's face was pale, even Pei Cuiyun, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was also a little timid, and asked Chen Yingliang in a low voice: "Lang Jun, are you sure to kill it?" ”
"I wish I could be sure."
Chen Yingliang replied with a wry smile, he really had no confidence in his superficial martial arts, and he didn't pay attention to what Pei Cuiyun called him. However, when the corner of his eye saw a few Wagang soldiers on horseback appear on the shore, the poison nest went undercover twice, and Chen Yingliang, who had already developed the habit of improvisation, suddenly had an idea, immediately squatted down, and whispered to Qian Xiangmin: "Lord Qian, if you want to live, don't say anything, don't speak, listen to my arrangement." ”
"Chen Ji Room, what did you say?" Qian Xiangmin, who was already full of tears and snot, was surprised and asked.
"Offended."
Chen Yingliang smiled in a low voice, then suddenly hugged Qian Xiangmin's shoulders, lifted him up, and then quickly put a horizontal knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck, who was already wet in the crotch, and yelled at the Wagang army team on the shore: "Don't come here, otherwise I will kill him!" Don't even come here, or I'll kill him!" ”
It happened suddenly, not to mention Pei Cuiyun and Qian Xiangmin, even the Wagang troops who were smiling on the shore were all dumbfounded, and they didn't know what was going on at all - the people who were surrounded by the self-army suddenly had infighting, and they held each other hostage and threatened the self-army in turn? Chen Yingliang shouted loudly: "Get off the boat for me, otherwise I will kill him with one knife and let you get nothing!" ”
Of course, the Wagang army who had already boarded the ship would not be forced to disembark, but they did not come up to fight - because it was so strange. Chen Yingliang shouted again: "You Wagang want to eat black and eat black, don't dream about it!" The treasure of the Southern Dynasty is our Liu Tianzi, you want to rob it, dream! It's amazing that Lao Tzu cut him down with a knife, everyone doesn't want the Southern Dynasty to hide treasures! ”
The officers and men of the Wagang Army looked at each other even more, and a general of the Wagang Army who looked like a leader rode out of the crowd and asked Chen Yingliang, "Who are you?" Who is the person you caught? What do you mean by that? ”
"Stop pretending." Chen Yingliang sneered loudly, and said loudly to the general of the Wagang army: "King Wagang over there, how about we make a deal, you let us go, and when our Liu Yuanjin Liu Tianzi gets the treasure of the Southern Dynasty, we will divide you into thirty." If you have to eat black and eat black, then I'm sorry, I will cut him with a knife, so that you can't find the treasure of the four generations of the Southern Dynasty for one hundred and seventy years in your life! ”
"Are you Liu Yuanjin's person?!" The generals of the Nawagang Army were taken aback - here it is explained that Liu Yuanjin was the leader of the peasant rebel army in Wu County, claiming to be the Son of Heaven, and gathered more than 100,000 people in the Jiangdong area to attack the city and plunder the land.
"Not bad!" Chen Yingliang replied in a big way: "This official is Liang Chengliang, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs under Liu Tianzi, who came incognito to the Eastern Capital to greet Chen Jing, the former Chen Shaoling King, and was caught by me, it is the beloved son of the former Chen Emperor Chen Shubao, Chen Jing, the king of Shaoling!" ”
"Ahh The general of the Navagang Army was dumbfounded, never dreaming that he would encounter such a strange thing. Qian Xiangmin, who was held hostage by Chen Yingliang, also opened his mouth and almost screamed, but fortunately, Qian Xiangmin had already had the experience of being pushed out by Chen Yingliang to act as a big man before, and he had enough experience, but he didn't shout out to expose Chen Yingliang's nonsense.
Shocked, the general of the Nawagang Army hurriedly asked again: "Liang Shilang, what do you mean by the hidden treasure of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
"You don't know?" Chen Yingliang's expression was even more surprised than that of the generals of the Nawagang army, and he exclaimed and asked, "Then why did you rob our ship, didn't you Wagang people come to rob this King of Shaoling?" ”
"It's not." The general of the Wagang Army, who was only in his twenties, shook his head and replied truthfully: "We received a report that two official ships full of goods had entered the Tongji Canal under the protection of the four ships of officers and soldiers, and we thought it was some valuable treasure, so we came to stop the ships. ”
"What?!" Chen Yingliang screamed miserably, and screamed heartbreakingly: "You guys are just for the Jun kiln porcelain of those two boats? Then you said earlier, King Shaoling and I must have given it to you with the ship and porcelain! ”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding." The general of the Nawagang army was fooled miserably, and in turn apologized to Chen Yingliang, and said with a wry smile: "If we had known that you were King Liu's people, how could our Wagang brothers attack you?" Everyone is here to overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang, and our Wagang Army never shoots at friendly forces. ”
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding." Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief, put down the knife from Qian Xiangmin's neck, and said to the general of the Nawagang army: "Liang Cheng, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs under the command of Liu Tianzi of Wujun, has seen the king of Wagang, and dares to ask the king's surname. ”
"In the lower Xu Shiyun." The general of the Wagang Army, who was only in his twenties, replied.
The muscles on Chen Yingliang's face twitched involuntarily, and then he said: "It turned out to be King Xu, who has admired his name for a long time, like thunder, and I saw it today, Liang Cheng was fortunate in his third life." King Xu, since it was a misunderstanding, we can leave now, right? If King Xu can raise his noble hand, my Liu Tianzi will definitely have a good reward in the future. ”
"Wait!"
Without waiting for Xu Shiyun to speak, another rebel general on horseback stepped forward, shouted to stop Chen Yingliang and the others from leaving, and pointed at Chen Yingliang and said: "If you want to go, you can tell us first, what is the treasure of the Southern Dynasty?" ”
Chen Yingliang's face changed, and he immediately put the knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck, and asked the rebel general, "Who are you?" ”
"Jibei Lu star." The general of the rebel army replied with a sneer, and asked loudly: "What did you mean by the 170-year-old treasure of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasty just now?" What does it have to do with this former King Chen Shaoling? I'll let you go, or you won't want to leave this place today! ”
