Chapter 219: Do your part
The sound of the ship's planks crashing was so loud that it was like thunder.
Zhou Qi followed the sound and saw that the sky was dark and oppressive.
The people queuing up in Qi Zhounan's Mansion also looked up over there, and immediately discussed.
"It's fighting again!"
"It's been three days since this fight, and this group of dwarves hasn't retreated, it's really strange!"
"That's right, not to mention that the water division came down from the capital, just say that our county guard was the first person to resist the invaders before, and there are 100,000 troops of Lord Han stationed outside the city, they can't get in, and they can't make any splashes!"
"Don't talk about it, let's go back first, and come back after the truce!"
Zhou Qi stood beside them, and naturally listened to their conversation.
It turns out that Dongkou is really coming......
But since Han Dutong returned to Qizhou, he expected that Dongkou would make such a move soon, and he had already reported to the imperial court to send sailors down to be prepared, and when the patrol ships of our dynasty in the East China Sea found out about the clues, they immediately strengthened their security and waited for them!
Since the ban on the sea had already been issued, there were no maritime travelers at this time.
The nearby fishermen were also taken in by the government in the city and temporarily lived in the city, including the salt warehouses and granaries in the villages and counties near the sea, and all the important materials such as salt warehouses and granaries were transferred, and the shops in the city should be closed without orders, and the people hid in their homes.
But this battle has been fought for three days, and Dongkou has not yet broken through the bay of Xuanhaiguan, and there is still a distance from the bay.
The people who stayed at home could not stay still and occasionally came out to fight, but once the war began, they quickly dispersed.
At this time, Su Ling had just finished writing a ghostwritten letterhead, and when he looked up, he saw the person who got off the carriage.
I haven't seen it for a month, and it's like a world away.
He seemed to have lost some weight, and his skin seemed to be darker.
But he looks more robust, and whoever sees him now should not have the impression of a scholar.
"Lang Jun,"
Zhou Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help her, without saying too much.
In front of everyone, he hugged her in his arms.
But thinking of her body that couldn't stand the toss, and ran out to write letters on her behalf, he was helpless and spoiled.
"Why did you get out?"
Su Ling stroked his stomach and said, "Before leaving, didn't Lang Jun ask me about my ideals? ”
"I don't have any other skills, I just want to do my best to help some people, some people."
She smiled all over her face, and said it lightly, but firmly.
Zhou Qi hooked her nose, "Kind as you." ”
"What is the interesting thing about Lang Jun's trip to Xiju Country? Did Liu Gongzi find it? ”
As the two walked inside, Su Ling asked with a smile, which was very different from the previous times when he hadn't returned after a long absence.
Zhou Qi's heart was unbalanced: "Why didn't the lady ask me if I was bullied?" ”
The two of them had already walked to the compound, when Su Ling suddenly stopped and faced him, his small hand brushed his cheeks and eyebrows, and sorted out the broken hair of the dusty servant for him, and finally leaned gently into his arms.
"I believe in Lang Jun."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xiaoyu also rushed out.
Unlike Su Ling, she was more anxious and more enthusiastic.
When he saw the comer, he immediately ran over, hugged his other arm, and rubbed it like a kitten.
"Sister Xiaoyu has been missing you very much lately, and she looks in the direction of the door every day, looking forward to your return!"
Su Ling didn't get angry when he saw this, but said with a smile, and then Zhao Xiaoyu didn't follow it, and joked: "Isn't my sister the same?" I'm more frequent than I run to the door, and if it weren't for the doctor stopping you, my sister would probably want to camp at the door! ”
The two of them have one left and one right ringing arms, and Zhou Qi is full of spring breeze.
However, as soon as he arrived at the main hall, he found that there seemed to be one person missing.
"Where's Wu Zhitao?"
As soon as these words came out, both of them frowned on their faces.
Su Ling said: "Dongkou is coming, except for the prefect Liu and the two teams of officials left in the city, all the officers and soldiers of the government and the officials of all sizes have gone to the battle, and the county guards have also gone, and even the lord of Pei Mansion has also participated. ”
Zhou Qi nodded thoughtfully, the military strength is insufficient, everything that can be on is up, and one more head is a head.
"Sister Tao'er's father naturally also participated in the war, but he is old and has recently felt a cold, so Sister Tao'er agreed with Han Dutong that she will replace the salt transportation envoy......"
"Acting as a father in the army!?"
Before Su Ling finished speaking, Zhou Qi's eyes widened.
I saw her nodding and said, "At first, Han Dutong was also unwilling, but Sister Tao'er said that she wanted to compete with his soldiers, and if she won, she was not allowed to oppose ......"
"And then she won?"
Zhou Qimanmen crossed three black lines.
This girl is really focused on joining the army......
The result is obvious, Wu Zhitao has not stopped for a day in the past half a year, and he has to practice according to the scientific plan every morning and evening.
When the brave and warlike Dahan came, she was not inferior, not to mention one or two soldiers of this dynasty?
But naval battles are not as good as land battles, and the style of play is different, even if you can live two moves on the sea, winning or losing is not certain.
At this time, he began to worry about this girl, and when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately ran to the small room in the backyard of the mansion, but the dozens of firearms were placed on it properly, and they did not move.
"Silly girl."
Zhou Qi shook his head.
She should have known that he was unwilling to give this thing away easily, even if she hid it tightly in the event of war now.
At night, Zhou Qi didn't sleep well.
A loud rumbling sound came from the east, obviously it was still an era of cold weapons, but the horn of the war was more panicked than the thunder.
Zhou Qi sat up and looked at the sleeping Su Ling, as well as her bulging white belly.
There was a living life in it, and in three months, he would be a father.
Listening to the loud rumbling sound outside, he fell into deep thought.
In the earlier battle of Dahan, although he returned with a great victory, when the lives were lying in front of him like this, even after a long time, the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood in the sky, and he was disgusted.
Since then, his state of mind has been much calmer, and no matter what he does, he still leaves life for his enemies.
For the war, his heart has always been rejected.
But thinking of what Su Ling said today, he thought that if he could use modern knowledge to help end this war as soon as possible, it would not be impossible.
Taking advantage of the night, Zhou Qi groped his way to Xiyuan again and called Da Liu and Zhufang to get up, and the three of them set off for Xuanhai Customs again.
Su Ling was already asleep, he didn't wake her up, but he had left a letterhead.
And as soon as he left, Su Ling, who was asleep, had already opened his eyes and muttered, "May everything be safe." ”
She knew that he would definitely go, so she didn't stop her.
Xuanhaiguan is farther than the salt field, he took a day's journey from Shanhe Village to the salt field, and when they arrived at Xuanhaiguan, it was already late at night on the second day, and along the way they also encountered the officers and soldiers who intercepted the people to go outside the city......
The officers and soldiers of this meeting all had bright eyes when they saw him: "Zhou Nan is back!?" ”
Then one by one, some officers and soldiers immediately rode their horses to Xuanhaiguan, and there was good news all the way.
"Man Zhou is here! Zhou Man is back! ”
"Zhou man is here, this group of Dongkou still dare to be arrogant when they see it? It doesn't take a single soldier to beat them to the ground! ”
"these dwarves! Hahahaha! ”
"Zhou man, this will be Han Dutong and the county guard are waiting for you in the camp tent, you go quickly!"
Zhou Qi sat in the carriage and looked at the impassioned officers and soldiers, a little inexplicable.
It turned out that in the battle of Dahantu City, what he did left a deep impression on everyone.
They all felt that he was a rare talent in warfare......
This will be the East Kou attack, although not enough to be afraid but no one dares to take it lightly, and this battle has been three days, the two sides are inseparable from each other, regardless of superiority, his arrival gave everyone a reassurance, thinking that this battle will win without suspense, and victory is close at hand!
No one knew that Zhou Qi, who grew up under the Qing Red Flag of the Haiyan River, had already used up all the tactics he could remember.
He is even more confused about this naval battle, theoretically he can say one, two, three, but war is not child's play, let alone paper.
Seeing that the big guy has high expectations for him, he doesn't know what the situation will be, and he is also a little weak in his heart.
