Chapter 133: Brother Cong burns down the company camp
Tongju is an important town in Gyeonggi, and it is the eastern gate of the capital of the imperial court and the north and south, and the place where the Baihe River, the Yuhe River and the canal meet.
Jia Cong stood on the highest teahouse on the wharf, overlooking the busy people at Tongzhou Wharf, and felt a lot of emotion.
"Old general, do you say that this Huo An is stupid, it is not appropriate to let a good prince go, and he wants to go to the South China Sea to raise fish and play...... No, he's not going to be a prince anymore."
Jia Cong thought of Huo An, who had lost the prince because of his own family, and said with a smile: "This Huo An also made a noise, do you really think you can run out?"
"He's not stupid, if he doesn't leave, his Huo family really won't be able to leave!"
Shen Lang will nervously keep rubbing the handle of the knife, but he is risking the crime of cutting off his head and messing around with the little demon star of the Jia family, if he lets go of the Huo family, it will be a big trouble.
However, if the Huo family is really blocked, it will be a great credit, and the risk is worth it.
Hearing Jia Cong's emotion, he sneered and responded, "You kid doesn't understand the Huo family's energy along the South China Sea, and the Lingnan Soil Emperor is not joking. When the old prince was there, the Lingnan land division and sailors were all surnamed Huo. Don't look at the fact that after so many years, the Huo family's forces in Lingnan still firmly control more than half of the troops and officials. Every official who serves in Lingnan must go to the palace of Nan'an County to send a post...... So, Hoan took the risk, because he already felt the rope around his neck tightening."
Jia Cong asked again, "Does the saint care about His Majesty?"
"it!"
Shen Lang stood by the window, looked at the white land in the west, and sneered, "Do you think that the Four Kings really like this flowery capital in Beijing? Before the saints were 500,000 years old, they were recalled to the capital for "grounding", and the vassal king was not allowed to leave the capital without a holy decree, which was the first step in cutting the domain. If it weren't for the incident with the old prince Yizhong, there would have been no four kings."
It is also a matter of the first prince's military advice, and it seems that there are many inside facts about this royal blood case back then, far beyond what he knows.
Knock knock!
"Little Third Master ......"
"Uncle Thirteen, fast forward!"
Jia Shisan's cloak was covered with snow, and after coming in, he didn't bother to wipe the snowflakes off his eyebrows, and said with a fist: "The warship has quietly blocked the way south of the canal, and the artillery is already in place. The Dragon Guards sent news that Huo An and his party had bypassed the Dingbian Guard's station and quietly sneaked along the Yu River to the dock."
It's finally coming!
Shen Lang asked happily, "How many centaurs are there?"
"Back to the old general, Xia Laoshangshu guessed correctly, after Qiu Tong led people to attack Zhengcunba, he sent most of his men and horses to storm Qinghedian to attract the attention of the imperial army, and he himself brought two thousand elites and hid them in a Zhuangzi by the Yu River. This morning, he joined the Huo family who had absconded from Beijing, and escorted the Huo family and his party to take advantage of the chaos to go south."
As soon as Jia Shisan's words were finished, a lieutenant of the Shenwu Zhongwei sent an urgent report: There was a huge fleet of ships in the canal, with more than ten large and small ships, under the banner of the South China Sea Navy Division entering Beijing to escort tribute......
Shen Lang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oops, I forgot about the fact that tributes are sent to the capital from all over the country at this time of year!"
Jia Cong pouted: "It seems that people didn't have a temporary idea, this is right. I'll just say, just with Qiu Tong's crude plan to attack the west, where did Huo An have the courage to take such a big risk."
"Virtuous nephew, don't analyze it, people have sailors, and our little boat is not enough for people to hit it in one round. What can I do now?"
Shen Lang couldn't help but be in a hurry, he was already a soldier and horse who was transferred privately, if he let the Huo family go again......
"Don't worry, sailor, if I'm on the sea, I really can't do anything about him...... Huh!"
Jia Cong looked at the canal wharf crowded with boats, and the canal waterway far to the south, and grinned: "I remember that we brought a lot of fire oil when we went out......
There are a lot of people in the Huo family, although the carriage is bumpy and the cold wind is howling outside, Huo An's face is full of happiness.
"Lao Tzu has finally left the capital, this Liu family is really not a fucking thing, these more than ten years, I have really had enough of humiliation!"
Huo An took a sip of the wine in his hand, and after scolding for a while, he heard a middle-aged male voice outside: "Lord Wang, Tongzhou has arrived!" Our water
The division has docked, and the scouts are scouting, and there is nothing but the merchants and the common people!"
"Well done, Brother Qiu!"
Huo An lifted the curtain of his car, and the oncoming wind and snow made half of his alcohol dissipate. He said to Qiu Tong with a kind face: "He is worthy of being a general valued by his father, and this hand directly stunned the fools in the capital. I guess they'll think we're in Qinghe!"
Qiu Tong glanced at the shadow of the faint pavilion heading to it, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Finally arrived safely, Lord Wang, let's hurry up and get on the boat and head south." Qinghedian won't be able to defend for long, and those local chickens and dogs of the Wakou and White Lotus Sect can't withstand a few rounds of attacks at all."
"Report!"
As he was talking, a cavalryman galloped from the west, and the cavalry reported before he had time to dismount: "Lord Qiqi, general, there is a roar of artillery on the east side of the capital, and the scouts are coming to report that the forbidden army and the Japanese are fighting together in the area of Fahua Temple, and at present, except for one of the Shenwu Zhongwei rushing to Zhengjiaba, there is no shadow of the forbidden army in the direction of Tongzhou!"
"Good! Good! Okay!"
Huo An applauded continuously, and laughed loudly: "Let's go, enter Tongzhou, let's board the ship and go back to the south!" When we get on the boat, who can stop this king!"
In a peaceful and prosperous world, there were officers and soldiers looting!
As soon as Tongzhou City saw a large group of unknown soldiers and horses rushing towards the city, he immediately closed the city gate. Huo An didn't plan to disturb the place for too long, and while arranging to get on the boat, he beckoned Qiu Tong to let the accompanying soldiers plunder the merchants and people on the dock.
Jia Cong, who was hiding in the distance, held back until the Huo family and his party all boarded the ship of the South China Sea Naval Division, and more than half of the rebels also boarded the ship one after another, and then made a gesture to Shen Lang.
Boom Boom Boom ......
In a moment, the artillery fired a salvo.
The loud roar was followed by explosions on the docks and on the surface of the canal.
After a salvo, the limited artillery sank a merchant ship docked near the ships of the South China Sea Naval Division.
The accuracy is insufficient, but Huo An'an can't stand it.
He immediately realized that he had been ambushed, and hurriedly beckoned the fleet to leave, even ignoring the more than 1,000 rebels on the shore who had not yet boarded the ship.
The looting rebels were also stupid, watching the life-saving ship leave the dock, and after a short period of confusion, someone beckoned the people around them to scatter and flee.
It's a pity that the soldiers of the Shenwu Central Guard couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately forced it back to the dock with crossbow arrows, and then pounced on it with a roar......
There is no need to pay too much attention to the fighting on the shore, the two thousand recuperated forbidden army, against the exhausted Tuntianwei rebels, if they lose again, simply wipe their necks.
"Nephew, are you sure of your plan?"
Shen Lang was still full of doubts about Jia Cong's plan to let the fleet of the South China Sea Navy Division go out of Tongzhou, worried that it would be self-defeating.
Jia Cong patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the juniors are the learned Zhuge Wuhou, when they go to the Linhe Pass, the river channel in that area is narrow, and as soon as the fireboats are released in front and behind, he is our live target!"
Although a thousand elites were thrown away, Huo An still breathed a long sigh of relief as he sat in the cabin of the warship.
He didn't expect that there would be people from the imperial court in Tongzhou, but fortunately, now he is on his own warship, and since then he has been in the sea without worry~
"Father, the son is not sure......
Huo Lan glared at his younger brother Huo Huan, who was shrinking in the corner, looked at the map in his hand worriedly, and said to Huo An: "Ahead is the Linhe Pass, the river is narrow, and my son is worried that there will be an ambush by the imperial court."
Huo An laughed: "There are only two petty officials the size of sesame mung beans in Linhe Banknote, plus the officials of Banknote Pass and a team of no more than 100 soldiers, our family has more than 1,000 land divisions and nearly 2,000 sailor soldiers, the advantage is mine!"
"Yes...... The people who ambushed us in Tongzhou can't just let us go with just one round of artillery!"
Hearing his son's question, Huo An explained confidently: "You don't understand, in order to control the forbidden army, the Liu family set the rules when they founded the country. Regardless of whether it is the Dingbian guard or the Shenwu Zhongwei who ambush us in Tongzhou, they can only be transferred at most
Move 499 people, fire a round of artillery and let people rush to kill for a while. This can be regarded as a transfer to the imperial court...... Isn't that what it takes to do things in officialdom? Hehe, I know that!"
Huo An really understands the unspoken rules of officialdom very well, but unfortunately he didn't calculate that he let the South China Sea sailors collude with the Japanese to attack Gyeonggi and block Jia Cong, an outlier, outside the city.
At this time, Jia Cong and others took a horse-drawn sleigh and had long been hidden in the Linhe banknote. After seeing the only fleet on the canal from afar, he immediately let the two fireboats that had been prepared set off......
The banknote pass was in front of him, and the South China Sea Navy Division lowered the speed of the passenger ship converted from a warship, intending to control the banknote pass one by one.
Suddenly, several low, dilapidated boats turned out at the fork in the river ahead, blocking the front of their fleet.
The leading lieutenant was displeased and commanded his men: "Go quickly and drive these ships away......
Rumble!
With a burst of fire, the small boats burst into flames, and a few people jumped into the water from the boats and swam to the shore, while the deflagrated boats continued to rush towards their own fleet!
"Groove cake, there is an ambush! Back off! Stand back!"
Rumble!
Dangdangdang......
The alarm bell sounded, and the situation was similar in the rear of the fleet, in the narrowest channel of the canal, more than a dozen ships, large and small, were blocked by two groups of fireboats, leaving no room for movement.
"Quickly smash this fireship away and rush over!"
Boom!
The first ship that tried to ram the fire ship not only failed to do so, but instead trapped itself.
Because these fireships were not only filled with oil, but also connected by iron chains.
The oil scattered in all directions, gradually spreading on the surface of the water. The wind fueled the fire, and the area on fire was expanded several times at once......
Jia Cong jumped to his feet and shouted, "Pillar, where the fuck are your Franc cannons!". z.br>
"Fire!"
Boom Boom Boom ......
The roads of the ships of the South China Sea Naval Division were blocked by the fire boats, and the fire oil on the river was also ignited, and the entire river was on fire all of a sudden.
At this moment, the roar of artillery came from both sides of the river, followed by an overwhelming barrage of shells......
