After passing Yangwu, Li Xu ordered the fleet to speed up. From here to the mouth of the Yellow River, there is a waterway of about 100 miles, and because it is a downstream river, if the fleet rushes at full speed, it only takes a whole day to cover the whole distance. Further west along the mouth of the Yellow River, it is already part of the Gyeonggi region, and the waterways and dry roads in the area are relatively peaceful, so merchants no longer have to worry about their safety.

Luo Shixin did not follow Xuzi's order to stay in Yangwu to guard the baggage, but stubbornly followed him. "Waiting in the city all day, boring also suffocated me to death. It's better to accompany you to see the scenery on both sides of the river. Luo Shixin said with a smile while beating the stirrup with the end of the whip.

"On a hot day, you are not afraid of following the heat stroke in the sun!" Li Xu knew that the other party was not worried about his safety, so he replied with a smile.

"You still say, this day is really a bit boring!" Luo Shixin took off his iron helmet and fanned the cool breeze on his neck. But it was evidently in vain that he did so, for the June wind was so hot and humid that a handful of air could almost wring out the water.

"Hell, it's so hot by the river!" He straightened his helmet helplessly, muttering and complaining.

"You don't enjoy the blessing of sitting in the yamen to enjoy the coolness, and now you regret it, right?" Li Xu replied to him with a smile. When he looked around, he saw a few black clouds rolling in the distance.

A rainstorm was brewing, and it was not a good day for the march. At this moment, Wagang Qunhao, who had hurriedly killed, also felt miserable. Because of the time it took to pass the information on the road, they rushed to the vicinity of Yangwu almost day and night after making the decision to intercept and kill the escort cavalry. For the Wagang Inner Army trained by Xu Maogong, this kind of intensity of detour will not tire them down. But for the untrained battalions of the foreign army, the hot weather and rough roads were simply life-threatening. However, in order to hide their own movements, they must not get too close to the city. And the rapid march on the undulating country road is not known how many times harder than on the straight and wide official road.

"Grandma's, this son of a bitch's weather. If we continue like this, we don't have to fight with the officers and soldiers, we will heat ourselves to death! Wang Dangren swayed on the horse's back as he pulled the last piece of short brown down. At this moment, the armor on his body and the iron helmet on his head were thrown to the soldiers who were marching on foot behind the horse, but they were still so hot that they were sweating along his head.

"Brother, don't be too ashamed!" Li Gongyi, who was walking beside Wang Dangren, couldn't stand it, so he leaned into his ear and lowered his voice to remind.

"What a shame, anyway, more than 20,000 brothers are all gentlemen! Who hasn't seen it yet......" Wang Dangren was unconvinced, and pricked up his eyes to retort. Halfway through his words, he saw Li Gongyi, who was neatly dressed and armored, turning his head and looking diagonally forward. Wang Dangren followed Li Gongyi's gaze, and he saw that there was a 3,000-kilowatt gang elite army in front of him who was hurrying away. Regardless of the generals and soldiers, everyone wore leather armor neatly wrapped around them, as if they didn't feel the heat around them at all.

3,000 soldiers, but the momentum of the march was more powerful than the 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Wang and Li. The difference between the two sides is so obvious that if it were not for the weapons on their shoulders, it would be easy to think that the small group had just won the battle, and the large group was the prisoner they had captured.

"I'm not afraid to cover the prickly heat!" After muttering a word, Wang Dangren had to straighten the short brown again. His eyes wandered back and forth between the leather armor and iron helmets on the backs of his soldiers, and he finally couldn't muster the courage to put all the clothes neatly dressed. "The internal army is just different from our foreign army" After a while, Wang Dangren had to lament in his heart, "No wonder Xu Maogong thinks about retraining everyone, people can really achieve great things like that!" ”

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, several fast horses approached the team. From the rider's sturdy figure, everyone recognized the person as Xie Yingdeng, the leader of the sentry detective. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Xie Yingdeng passed through the gap specially set aside for the heralds between the ranks and went straight to the Chinese army. Immediately afterwards, the horn sounded in the Chinese army where Li Mi was located, ordering the whole army to stop and rest.

The military situation changed, and in an instant, every experienced general made the right judgment. They rushed to the Chinese army with the sound of the horn, and when they arrived, they happened to see Fang Yanzao once again unfurl the sheepskin map at Li Mi's feet.

"Rushing to the mouth of the Yellow River? Did he discover what we were doing? Li Mi stared at the mountains and rivers scalded out of the map, and his words carried regret that was difficult to hide.

"It shouldn't be, according to the news that we planted in the county soldiers, Zhang Xutuo is rushing to Yangwu City at this moment. The baggage of the officers and soldiers was also unloaded in Yangwu City. There are all kinds of signs that they didn't plan to go directly to Xingyang! Xie Yingdeng wiped a handful of dirt and sweat from his face, and replied with a breath.

The officers and soldiers did not plan to go to Xingyang! The news frightened everyone into a breath of cold air. The plan of the officials and soldiers is obvious, they unloaded their baggage in Yangwu, and they must have planned to go straight to Wagang through Yangwu and Yucheng. Once the heroes from all walks of life dispersed back to their villages, the Wagang Army had to fight a life-and-death duel with only more than 10,000 internal troops and the officers and soldiers who came to suppress them.

"Fortunately, we didn't disperse after the ambush failed!" Li Mi shook his head and said. This crooked attack made him feel a little more confident in his luck, and his voice gradually became higher, "What about Commander Xu, where are he and Wang Bodang's department?" ”

"After Commander Xu and General Wang got the news, they have turned their heads and pounced directly on Yang Wu, this is the letter he left for you!" Xie Yingdeng took a breath, took out an envelope that was softened by sweat from his breast-hugging pocket, and held it to Li Mi's side with both hands.

In order to prevent Xu Maogong and Li Xu from killing each other, when formulating the battle plan, everyone deliberately let him and Wang Bodang take on the task of blocking Zhang Xutuo. According to the original plan, at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the two should make a detour between Yangwu and Putian to block Zhang Xutuo on the west bank of the canal. However, the current trend of the official army has changed, and the plan of action of the Wagang heroes must also be greatly revised.

"Yangwu?" Li Mi's heart was in turmoil, and he opened Xu Maogong's letter with a little dissatisfaction. Although the intelligence showed that the baggage of the official army was transported into Yangwu City, the rebel army lacked the necessary equipment to attack the city, and it was impossible to quickly break through the city. Moreover, Zhang Xutuo will rush over at any time, Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang are in a hurry to attack the city at this moment, and they are obviously going to die.

"The officers and soldiers escorted a group of merchant ships to the mouth of the Yellow River, and the original military was the only way to pass. When the secret prince saw the letter, he could quickly rush to the original army to intercept and kill him. At present, the baggage of the officers and soldiers is all in Yangwu City, and our troops are feintting, and Zhang Xutuo will not dare to abandon it. The military situation is urgent, please forgive Mao Gong for making his own claims.......
