Chapter 543: Qin Qiong attacked at night in the rain

"Yes." Qin Mu hurriedly responded.

When they reached Jitu Island for hundreds of steps, all the ships gathered together, Qin Mu got on another boat, and ordered someone to raise the lantern at the stern, only to see the lantern shaking, and only the boat behind could see it clearly, but soon a large group of ships broke away from the fleet and went down the river, ready to intersperse the rear wing of Jitu Island, and exterminate all the soldiers on Jitu Island on Jitu Island, and could not leak any news.

Xu Xiaoer leaned on the beacon tower, wearing a robe, looking at the river in the distance, but in his mind he was thinking of the daughter of the Zhang Butcher's family in the village, he and the Zhang family were in love, that is, the Zhang Butcher also liked Xu Xiaoer very much, and originally thought that he would be able to get married during the New Year, but it was a pity that the imperial court came with an edict to recruit Xu Xiaoer into the army, and even the Zhang Butcher was no exception, they were all among the conscriptions.

"Little two." A sturdy figure walked on the beacon tower, also holding a big knife, it was Butcher Zhang, Butcher Zhang had great strength, so he made him the captain of the army, leading five people, one of whom was Xu Xiaoer.

"Uncle Zhang." Xu Xiaoer hurriedly walked up, took out a pot of bad wine from his arms and handed it respectfully.

"Not bad." Butcher Zhang suddenly showed a meaningful smile on his face, and took it unceremoniously, with a trace of satisfaction on his face, and suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Little Er!" When this battle is over, you can go back! Take Xiaoyue to Guanzhong, don't go back to Jiangnan. ”

"Uncle Zhang, why did you say this? Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, we live by the river and eat by the river. Isn't it great? Xu Xiaoer asked with some suspicion.

"Stupid, although Jiangnan is very good, Xiao Mo is not Guanzhong's opponent. Let me tell you, I heard that ten of the troops in Guanzhong can beat one of us, and their Tang King is the reincarnation of the black dragon, and his power is infinite, even the generals around him are all reincarnated bodies such as White Tiger Star and Seven Killing Stars, and our generals are not his opponents at all. Butcher Zhang cautiously glanced around and said, "I heard that there is a black dragon in Guanzhong. The wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, and you can pick up gold when you walk. Life is much better than here, if I hadn't been drafted, I would have taken you to Guanzhong secretly next year, this time. Ay! I'm afraid not. You are young, and the days to come are long! ”

"Uncle Zhang, we are on the river, didn't we say that the emperor of Guanzhong was over there in Jiangling? How can you do it on the Yangtze River? Xu Xiaoer asked with some hesitation.

"Upstream, upstream" Butcher Zhang was about to continue, but saw countless torches appear in front of him in the distance, although they were far away, although the torrential rain was coming. But Butcher Zhang still saw that this was an enemy attack. The enemy attacked in the rain.

"Uncle Zhang." Xu Xiaoer also saw the torches in the distance, he saw that in the dark night, countless ships rushed towards him, the big ships came slowly, and killed everyone, Xu Xiaoer's face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't know what to do.

"Enemy attack!" Butcher Zhang screamed violently, and then pulled Xu Xiaoer and rushed down to the beacon tower, regardless of the important matter of lighting the beacon fire, behind him, countless sharp arrows instantly enveloped the entire beacon tower, and even one shot through Butcher Zhang's clothes, and the frightened Butcher Zhang shouted again and again.

"Quick, catch me up and stop them from landing." On Jitu Island is guarded by an Eagle Yang Lang General, as a bridgehead to monitor Kuizhou, this Eagle Yang Lang will command more than 1,000 people to sit here, hearing the terrible screams of Butcher Zhang, quickly put on his armor, led the soldiers to kill up, and let people go to the next Jiangzhong Island to report the news. He was terrified in his heart, he didn't expect that in such weather, the ship would be in danger of being destroyed at any time, and Qin Qiong actually dared to lead a large army to raid Jiangling.

"Kill it." Qin Qiong saw it clearly, and saw that there was no wolf smoke lit on the beacon tower, and he was immediately relieved in his heart, although in this kind of weather, lighting wolf smoke may not be able to be seen by people in the distance, but it is also just in case. What Qin Qiong has to do now is to lead the army to exterminate these guys in front of him. If you want to be a marquis, you have to take risks. Qin Qiong is taking risks now.

"Quick, kill it." The defending Lang General looked at the more and more enemies in the distance, his expression became more and more anxious, and he hurriedly commanded his men to release arrows, trying to block Qin Qiong and others on the boat, and use the Yangtze River to kill these people.

It's a pity that he, they met the soldiers under Li Xin's command, there were a large number of people, more than 10,000 people killed the sandbank, the other party only had more than 1,000 people, dense, not clear at all, many of these were originally recruited by Xiao Miao, not long ago they were still farmers or fishermen, without effective training, where can they resist, knowing that after Qin Qiong killed the Eagle Yang Lang, these people couldn't resist it, and knelt on the ground one after another, where did they dare to resist Qin Qiong's army.

"It's just a rabble." Qin Qiong looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, and shook his head disdainfully, if this is to be placed in Guanzhong, even if he is defeated, he will fight to the last person, and the future affairs of the family will naturally be responsible for the imperial court, if he surrenders if he does not resist, not only will his reputation be stinky, but he will also have no good reputation in the family, and future generations will have the reputation of a fugitive.

"General, General Qin Mu is back." The soldier pointed to the distance and said, Qin Qiong really saw that in the heavy rain, Qin Mu led more than a dozen people over, followed by torches, and saw the smile on Qin Mu's face, and immediately knew that Qin Mu had done the matter well, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

"As the general expected, the enemy was really preparing to escape by small boat from the south, but even the men and boats were killed." Qin Mu said proudly.

"Okay, give the order, let the soldiers change into clean clothes, drink two sips of spirits, and we will continue to set off, and while the weather is good, we will go to the next place. Tonight, we must occupy Long Chau. Qin Qiong looked around and said. Longzhou is the penultimate sandbar in the river from Jiangling, this sandbar is relatively large, and there are even many existences on it, Xu Xuanche himself led 20,000 people to be stationed here, and there is a complete shipyard and sailor camp here, which is the main passage to choke to Jiangling. If Qin Qiong wanted to attack Jiangling, he had to capture Longzhou and exterminate Xu Xuanche, so that he could kill Jiangling City as quickly as possible.

"Yes." Qin Mu and the others said loudly, Qin Qiong took advantage of this time to go to Jiangnan, naturally he had already prepared, and a piece of clothing would not cost much, as long as it was clean, although it was a rainy day, it would be soaked after the battle, at least when he returned to the ship, he would have a clean clothes to change into, and that would be the best.

"General, what about these captives?" Qin Mu pointed around and said.

Qin Qiong looked around, only to see that there were hundreds of captives around, squatting there, looking flustered, for fear of being killed by Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and finally said to Qin Mu: "Most of these people are fishermen and ordinary people, they will not have any impact on us, take their weapons, and then throw them here, and after we destroy Xu Xuanche, let these people go home." ”

"General, dare to ask if you are a subordinate of King Tang in Guanzhong?" Qin Qiong was about to turn around and leave, but he heard a panicked voice from behind him, he turned to look, but saw a young man, looking at Qin Qiong with hopeful eyes.

"King Tang is under control, and Qin Qiong, the governor of Kuizhou." Qin Qiong said solemnly.

"General, can we go to Guanzhong in the future?" This young man was none other than Xu Xiaoer, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he had the courage to ask Qin Qiong.

"Jiangnan will soon be under the rule of the Tang King, you are all the people of the Tang King, all the policies of Guanzhong will be implemented in Jiangnan, and it will be the same whether you go to Guanzhong or not. The king of Tang loves the people like a son, as long as you abide by the law, be loyal to the king of Tang, and be loyal to the court, the king of Tang and the court will naturally let you live a good life. Qin Qiong said loudly: "In the future, you should be a loyal people!" ”

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." Xu Xiaoer's face was stunned, and he quickly knelt on the ground loudly, he looked at Qin Qiong's distant back, and a new hope ignited in his heart.

In the Longzhou Mansion, Xu Xuanche sat in the study, his face was gloomy, on the one hand, he was worried about the situation in the imperial court, not long ago, Xiao Mo ordered the army to besiege Zhang Xiu, Xu Xuanche did not go, and even other princes did not go, except for Lei Shimeng, the king of Qin, and Zheng Wenxiu, the king of Chu, the other kings were dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu, but Xu Xuanche was very honest and did not do anything, but simply hid out by defending Qin Qiong and marching east along the river, and returned to Longzhou to resist Qin Qiong's army.

Although it rained heavily in a short period of time, Xu Xuanche was not only not very stable in his heart, but also a little worried. Under the rainstorm, it is very difficult to use troops, but some of the more courageous enemies may not suddenly attack, but he knows what the soldiers and horses under his command are like, and it is very difficult to monitor the river surface on such a rainy day.

"Gao Ju, how is the situation on the river?" There was a creaking sound from the door, and when he saw his son Xu Gaoju walking in, Xu Xuanche immediately asked.

"When I went back to my father's words, the river was dark, and the rain was pouring down, and I couldn't see it at all twenty paces away." Xu Gaoju had a generous face and a very honest appearance. Xu Xuanche was originally just a brigade commander, but he only got to where he is today after following Xiao Miao. Although he is in a high position, he is a son of a poor family, Xu Gaoju is different from Zhang Jin and others, he is not a gentleman when he exercises in the army, Xu Xuanche has a son, and he is also very relieved.

"Hey, this day is not a good thing for us!" Xu Xuanche said with some sighs: "The Tang King of Guanzhong fought bravely, and the generals were extremely cunning in their use of soldiers, although Qin Qiong's reputation was not obvious, he might not take the opportunity to attack along the river!"
