The 130,000-strong army came across the river, and although the road was a little bumpy, there were no accidents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There is no one in the river to place iron cables and other interception objects, after all, this is not a romance novel, and the cost of arranging iron cables on the entire river is too great and impractical.

Jiangpu and Jiangning are opposite each other across the river, as long as they cross the Yangtze River, they are Jiangning. And a short distance to the east, is Jinling City. Naturally, the rebels and others would not attack Jinling directly, they had just come off the ship, and their morale was low, so it was unwise to have a hard encounter with Jinling. It's better to take Jiangning first, rest and recuperate, and then make plans.

Jiangning is also a prosperous place, although the scale is far less than Jinling City, but the daily merchants come and go, and the degree of liveliness is still victorious.

This is also a huge piece of fat for Zhao Liu and others, and it is better to eat it in the stomach first.

After getting off the boat, many soldiers were already lying on the shore and vomiting, and the soles of their feet were fluttering....... Even Liu Liu and the others were also pale, and they could only barely stand.

"Pass the order down, bury the pot to make rice, and attack Jiangning after you are full. Liu Liu stretched out his hand to hold a big tree and gave the order to the soldiers around him.

Jiangning City is less than ten miles away from here, and there are less than 5,000 soldiers guarding it, so it can be taken quickly. After taking Jiangning, they will not have to worry about food and drink, and they will not have to cross the river to supply logistics.

The order was quickly passed down, and in a short time, the aroma of rice came from the whole camp. Many people were shocked after hearing it, they had just vomited for so long, and their stomachs were already empty, where could they stand this?

"When we take Jinling, we will transfer all our troops to the south, and from then on, we will have a place to live. Although Liu Liu's face is not good-looking, he is in good spirits and has begun to plan for the future.

And although Qi Yanming was also watching with a smile on the side, he secretly ordered someone to go down to guard. Liu Liu and the others were only born as horse bandits and could barely read and write, but they had never read the military books. Now they are weak, and if the enemy comes to attack, they will surely suffer heavy losses. Originally, the morale of the soldiers was low, and if they tossed like this, I am afraid that they would be even more unbearable.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly from the side of the path, the sound of horses' hooves trampling sounded. The sound of horses' hooves was so dense that it was impossible to tell the number of them.

"It's not good, the enemy is attacking, hurry up and prepare!" Qi Yanming expected that it was not bad, and the army of the imperial court would not let go of such a good opportunity. Soon, the sound of trumpets sounded throughout the camp, and all the rebels immediately took up their weapons, dragging their tired bodies and preparing for battle.

Many people only feel a burst of blackness in front of them, and a feeling of nausea and tightness in the chest. They haven't recovered from seasickness, and they don't have anything in their stomachs, so where is the strength to fight?

Everyone raised their heads, but found that it was a group of black-armored cavalry, exposed to their field of vision, about three hundred people, behind the cavalry, there was a faint sound of shouting, the specific number is unknown.

"Crossbowmen prepare, don't give the enemy close. Qi Yanming shouted, now the soldiers are weak in their hands and feet, and the long-range archers are afraid that they can't even pull the bow, so they can only use crossbow arrows. It's just that the crossbow machine is a forbidden thing in the imperial court, they don't have the technology to cast it, only thousands of them are captured from the hands of officers and soldiers, and if they are used badly, there is no way to repair them.

But at this time, they don't care about cherishing the crossbow machine, so they should fight back the enemy first. When they have a fixed territory, they can recruit their own craftsmen, so as not to fall into such an embarrassing situation in the future.

"Whoosh. A series of crossbow arrows were shot out, carrying the sound of the howling wind, towards the knights. They didn't dare to let the cavalry get close, under the long-distance charge, the strength of the cavalry was almost terrifying, even if you were wearing heavy armor, you could be pierced, let alone these rebels who were not even fully armoured?

But it was evident that these men were very unskilled in shooting crossbows, and the cavalry was still about three hundred paces away from them, and began to shoot out. At such a distance, the crossbow arrows can't even touch people, let alone kill people.

Although it is easier to train crossbowmen than archers, it is not something that these miscellaneous soldiers who have not even trained can master. They didn't even know the most basic segmented shots, and everyone shot their crossbow arrows at once, and it took time to reload them, leaving them in a blank period.

At this time, the speed of the three hundred cavalry did not decrease, and soon they galloped more than a hundred steps, all of them had their legs between the belly of the horses, their bodies fell slightly, and a long fire gun appeared in their hands. The knights lit the fuse, and the smoke from the fire bolt flickered, and a series of projectiles shot out.

"Bang bang bang. "On the bodies of dozens of rebels, blood holes appeared, and they were immediately dead by such a dense firecracker.

"Shield, shield erected. Qi Yanming hurriedly shouted, there is no way, the enemy is a well-trained regular army, and these subordinates are just bandits and outcasts who have been pulled up, and there is no comparison between the two.

Soon, pieces of wooden shields were erected. The outside of these shields is covered with a layer of leather, which is very strong. There were more than a hundred paces between these knights and them, and according to the power of the firearms, they could not penetrate this shield.

But, to their surprise, the three hundred knights just passed by in a flash, and after firing a wave of projectiles, they turned around and left, without the slightest love of fighting. In a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves faded away, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Finally gone. Many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, although there were only three hundred knights just now, it gave them great pressure. In addition, they are all physically tired, and they have no fighting spirit at all. I just thought about eating my full meal quickly, and then capturing Jiangning City.

"The third battalion, the fifth battalion, and the sixth battalion, you eat some dry food first, and then hurry up and stay outside, don't let them come any closer!" While these soldiers were rejoicing, Qi Yanming did not relax in the slightest. He felt that it was impossible for these knights to come here just to kill dozens of people.

"Yes. "Although the people in these three battalions are also hungry, since Qi Shuai has an order, they have to obey, while the others take the opportunity to cook and replenish some strength first.

"Drive. "Before the men of the three battalions had set out, the three hundred knights returned, and once again released a wave of firearms, and then departed.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yanming's heart sank, and the situation he was most afraid of still appeared.
