On the misty Xiao River, there was silence all around. The river flows quietly, flashing with the sparkling morning light, gazing at the beauty of the mountains.

Only a few reluctant waterfowl were awakened by the chirping of the birds, and like every parent in the world, reluctantly stood on the reeds ready to feed.

In the light rain, there was no human activity on the shore or on the boats moored in the water. People are still immersed in their own dreams, and occasionally a few dream words can be heard.

It was the best time before waking up, and no one was willing to leave their bed, and even the patrolling soldiers found a shelter to take a nap.

A group of waterfowl flew from the aquatic plants upstream, and fled in panic, even the young birds in the nest were abandoned.

A group of people with sheep urine bubbles tied to their bodies, knives in their mouths, and wooden planks on their backs appeared on the surface of the river, and they threw the planks towards the river in front of them, and stepped on these planks to advance quickly towards the large and small boats on the river. 33

At the same time, on the field directly south of the ferry, there was billowing smoke and dust, mixed with the strange barking of dogs.

A team of wagons pulled by giant mastiffs was rapidly approaching the ferry. The carriages on both sides of these wagons were equipped with two rows of sharp steel knives, and even the wheels were equipped with sharp spears. The soldiers above were holding halberds or bows, staring at the direction of the ferry.

On both sides of the chariot were rows of cavalry, keeping a certain distance from the chariot to guard against enemy soldiers that might appear from behind the flanks.

A few hundred feet downstream of the ferry, there were more than a dozen wagons along the shore, and eight archers stood on each cart, staring at the river.

When the convoy was approaching the ferry, someone in Xiaoyujin finally woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked blankly at these military horses that came from nowhere.

On the shore, the cavalry, following on either side of the chariot, a dozen horses sped forward. When they reached the ferry, the rider on the horse threw out his flying claws and grabbed the fence around the ferry.

More than a dozen people worked together, and these fences were suddenly torn apart, and a large opening appeared, opening up a passage for the vehicles behind.

Trucks roared into the ferry, and soon the sound of killing was everywhere, and people were fleeing in panic. The incident happened suddenly, let alone fought back, and some people didn't even have time to put on their pants.

A man who clearly looked like an officer, carrying his own knife, tried to stop the chaos around him and organize a counterattack. But as soon as a dozen people were gathered, they were killed by Baoxiang, Zhang Wuyang, Tudan and others, and they did not even leave a complete corpse.

These chariots raged in the ferry like fierce beasts, and the halberds and arrows of the soldiers on the carts kept harvesting people's lives. Even the steel knives on the car ruthlessly cut the bodies of people along the way, leaving stumps in the ground.

The chaos became a pot of porridge, and seeing that it was impossible to resist, some people tried to run towards the boat on the water. When I arrived at the river, I sadly found that there was also a fight on the boat, and from time to time someone was knocked into the water

Someone relied on the good nature of the water to dive into the water, but as soon as he showed his head to breathe, a row of arrows appeared in the air, and the corpse floated on the surface of the water in a short time.

Downstream of the ferry, rows of rockets flew up and landed on the wooden boats that had escaped and flowed downstream. Soon, a fire broke out on these ships.

Suddenly, a small boat rushed down the river, escaping the siege of Le Xi and others, and was about to escape from this battlefield.

Wu Gengteng, who was sitting in the car, jumped up and stepped on the water to pounce on the small boat like a frightened rabbit. After the flash of the knife, a huge gap appeared in the hull of the boat, and the river quickly poured into it, and soon the boat sank to the bottom.

In less than half an hour, the attack came to an end. In the open space of the ferry, there were rows of disheveled people, all with their hands tied.

At the ferry, the dreadnoughts were checking houses one by one to prevent anyone else from hiding.

Wu Gan sat on the stone platform of the ferry, gently stroking Niu Chao's head. Niu Chao lay on the ground like a dog, playing with a silver ingot in his hand with great interest.

This guy has been scurrying around to loot his belongings since he got off the ferry, and in desperation, Wu Gan had to give him another ingot of silver and put it beside him to watch.

On the Xiao River, Zhuo Ke is directing people to reorganize the ships in order from largest to smallest. Today, these ships are still going to be used to capture Qinghuai City, and the first wave must send as many people as possible into it.

This kind of ferryboat attack is by no means a random way to stuff people onto the boat, and it is basically necessary to ensure that each ship has a complete structure, so as not to rush and kill the soldiers without knowing the officers, and the officers not leading the troops.

"Owner, the ferry has been cleared. All the people had been taken prisoner, and the dead bodies had been fished out of the water. Zhang Wuyang was murderous, and there were still blood stains on his armor, and he strode forward to report.

"Eat, arrive at Qinghuai City at dusk, stay here to watch the ferry, intercept passing ships." Wu Gan commanded calmly.

After interrogating these merchants, due to the large number of boats coming and going, Qinghuai City only allowed Xiaoyujin's boats to enter the city or enter the Yujin ferry port at dusk, so as not to overcrowd the city.

Zhang Wuyang replied loudly, Mu Shi is cautious, and it is indeed reassuring to stay here.

By the Xiao River at dusk, the river reflects the afterglow of the setting sun, calm like a golden mirror. The tall Qinghuai City is located not far from the river, and the huge shadow is stretched by the setting sun, covering this fertile field with beautiful water and abundant grass.

Yujin Ferry, the sails are lined up, and there are carriages that pull goods or people from time to time, running over the flat bluestone slabs, going back and forth between Qinghuai City and the ferry.

In the upstream of the ferry, there is an artificially dug runoff from the Xiao River, all the way to the west gate of Qinghuai City, dividing the city gate into a water gate and a land gate. The river served as both a moat and a waterway for transporting goods to relieve congestion at the ferry.

Together with the Xiao River, the moat protects the north and west of Qinghuai City like two iron cables. It can be said that the people who designed the city put a lot of thought into it. Because of this geographical advantage, Qinghuai City has become an important source of taxation for the Meng family, thus becoming the leader among the thousands of families.

On the city wall, the guards of the city had stood for a day, and had relaxed their vigilance, and had gathered together in twos and threes to talk, discussing which tavern to meet in the evening, or which house had a new girl in Goolan.

At the head of the wall next to the water gate, there was a little soldier whistling and leaning on the battlement, looking at Xiao He in the distance boredly, thinking about what good meal his widow had cooked today, and how he would not be kicked out at night.

Suddenly, Xiao Bing saw more than a dozen boats coming from the Xiao River, their white sails dyed gold, like tired birds returning to their nests.

"These guys who don't have long eyes, why have they been so late, I hope to stop at Yujindu and not go directly into the city. Otherwise, Lao Tzu would charge an extra ten taels of silver per ship. Xiao Bing cursed, and spat out the wall a little unfortunately, this would not be beautiful if he delayed his layoff and couldn't eat Widow Sun's hot steamed buns.

"Boy, keep an eye on it, the family has not been peaceful in the past two days, be careful of anyone getting in." An officer walked over and slapped the soldier on his helmet.

"My lord, what's not peaceful, I only heard that the Lu family doesn't treat us well, but they are in the east, and this west is the territory of the lord's family." The little soldier was not afraid, and smiled and played with the officer haha. Approaching the changing of the guard, everyone's mood is a little relaxed, why bother to make it tight.

"Anyway, it's not a big mistake to be careful, what's going on with those ships." The officer ignored the soldiers and leaned on the wall to look at Xiao He.

"The ghost knows, it should be a boat from Xiaoyujin, and I don't know if it left earlier, and it was almost closed before it swayed." The little soldier muttered with a look of resentment.

"No matter what, put down the water gate when the point comes, and if they don't have time to get to the city gate, drive them to Yujindu, save trouble." The officer squinted, and the sunlight reflected off the surface of the water was somewhat dazzling.

"Okay." The little soldier happily agreed, and now he could finally catch up with Widow Sun's dinner. Today, I also prepared two jars of wine, so I had to pour down the seductive girl and cook the white rice that had been digging for many days.

On the Xiao River, the dozen or so boats sped up a little, and when they got closer, they did not sail to Yujindu, but turned into the moat. There were only a few people on deck, but the hull was deep in the water, apparently loaded with a lot of cargo.

"These profiteers don't let people rest." The soldier cursed, determined to keep these people out of the water fence.

"Head, I'm going to put the grate." The soldier shouted at the officer not far away, who had already taken off his helmet and leaned against the wall, leisurely munching on melon seeds, apparently thinking of returning home earlier.

Seeing the officer's nod, the soldier called a few brothers and went to the winch. Just about to put down the water fence, looking at these people, the little soldier was a little puzzled, there were two people with very eyes, when did the newcomer come, did he worship the dock, the rules in the army are really worse than one day.

In the middle of the belly, the soldier's eyes suddenly widened.

I saw a sergeant dressed the same as himself, who came to the officer's side like a ghost, and with a cold light flashing in his hand, the officer's head flew high and fell down the wall in an arc.

There is an enemy attack.

The soldier tried to warn, but found that he did not make a sound.

Immediately after, the blood-red sky, the green brick walls, and the tall city towers suddenly flipped upside down. The hard ground is rushing towards itself.

The head fell to the ground heavily, and the little soldier had lost his lustre, and saw that the two eyed guys were taking out their short knives and stabbing at their colleagues beside them.

One by one, big feet quickly ran past in front of them, and there were thirty expressionless people in the armor of the defenders, who were quickly rushing towards the defenders on the city wall who had not yet reacted.

Screams, exclamations rang out, and people kept falling to the hard ground.

It's over, Qinghuai City is going to war, and I don't know what happened to Widow Sun. She is a woman, and she is ugly, so it shouldn't be a big deal. It's just a pity that I can't eat that hot steamed bun anymore.

Before losing consciousness, the little soldier thought so.

Some people died, but not completely......
