Nigu Haikou belongs to the area under the jurisdiction of Zhigu Village, that is, Tianjin in later generations.

At that time during the reign of Renzong, the Nigu Haikou was the estuary of the Yellow River.

Its Haikou channel is more than 500 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep.

With the diversion of the Yellow River, Nigu Haikou is no longer what it used to be, but relying on its former glory, a large number of fishermen have settled near Haikou, forming several villages with thousands of people.

Haikou is rich in fish, you don't need to risk your life to run too far to fish, just cast a net in the sea near the estuary, you can make an old snack for a family.

After the Jin people went south, many people in various villages in Haikou fled.

But there are still a handful of people left.

It's not that they don't want to escape, it's that they don't have any food at home, and they don't catch a day, and the whole family has to go hungry.

Rather than starve to death on the way to escape, it is better to stay.

Even if the Jin people call, they won't necessarily kill them all.

Thundered!

Hundreds of cavalry galloped in, and in the rear were the newly surrendered 12,000 Song troops and people.

This sudden scene frightened the villagers near Haikou.

An old man was elected by the villagers, walked over tremblingly, and asked cautiously, "I don't know which soldier the military master is?" ”

Liu Qi replied: "A certain family is the Qingzhou Army, you don't need to worry." ”

"Since it is the Qingzhou Army, Xiao Lao'er is naturally not worried."

The old man had a smile on his face, full of flattery.

In fact, he not only knew what the Qingzhou Army was, but he didn't believe a word of Liu Qi's words.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and he still understands this truth.

Looking around, Liu Qi asked, "Where is the dock?" ”

The old man replied truthfully: "To the southeast, about a mile away. ”

Liu Qi instructed: "Take me to have a look." ”

Hearing this, the old man complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to lead Liu Qi and others to the dock.

Looking at the dock, Liu Qi immediately frowned.

The pier was rudimentary, less than three meters long, with a thin layer of planks that creaked when stepped on, and seemed to break at any moment.

At that time, the grain and grass will be transported to the baggage, and it will not be convenient to unload the goods.

It has to be rebuilt.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi took out a handful of copper coins from his purse around his waist and threw it over: "If you are rewarded, go back and inform the villagers that if you know how to work as a carpenter, you can come to work, and you can pay twenty yuan a day." ”

"Thank you for the reward!"

The old man took the copper coin with surprise on his face, and there was no fear in his heart.

After returning, Liu Qi immediately ordered the soldiers to camp and instructed the people to expand the wharf.

In just two days, the wharf was completely new thanks to the efforts of more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians.

Even the small dirt path leading to the wharf in the village has been renovated, widened several times and smoother.

April 25.

Haikou in the early morning is particularly noisy, and many people rush to the wharf, and their mouths are amazed.

"The ship is big."

"Shhh I'm afraid it's not thirty or forty zhang long. ”

"If you go out to sea on this boat, even a giant whale can catch it."

"It's the first time I've seen it when I've lived this big."

I saw a fleet galloping towards the sea in the distance.

One of them is particularly eye-catching, almost several times larger than the three frigates.

In this era when cargo ships are generally only thirty or forty meters, the Shenzhou battleship is undoubtedly shocking.

When it first drove to Goryeo, it attracted the people of Goryeo to watch and marvel.

After the transformation of this Shenzhou of the Shandong Navy Division, it has abandoned many flashy decorations, added more military equipment, is less graceful and luxurious, and is a little more domineering.

"Spread out!"

At this moment, Liu Qi led his troops over.

Seeing this scene, the villagers immediately dispersed, changed places, and continued to watch the excitement.

Although these Qiuba did not harass them in the past two days, the villagers still felt that Qiuba was not a good thing in their hearts.

There was no way, they were scared by the Song military disaster of Sannu, Shuanggang and other villages.

"Anchor!"

When he was close to the pier, Kuang Zixin ordered the warship to drop the iron anchor.

This is to prevent the pirates from giving up and killing a horse gun, or the sudden attack of the Jin Army's sailors.

Although the probability is very small, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

After giving the order to let the Shenzhou battleship group be on guard, a small boat was put down on the battleship, and Kuang Zixin took a few sailor soldiers to go down to the small boat along the cable, and led more than a dozen cargo ships full of grain and baggage in the rear to go straight to the dock.

On the dock, Kuang Zixin hugged his fists and said: "Kuang Zixin has seen Liu Dutong, 120,000 stone grain and grass, 100 field artillery, 30 siege artillery, plus 30,000 firearms, none of them are bad, all of them have arrived." ”

"Good!"

Liu Qi nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

Beckoning the cargo ship to start unloading, Kuang Zixin asked, "I don't know if the county magistrate has instructions?" ”

Liu Qi replied: "The county magistrate ordered you to return to the sea immediately and exterminate the pirates of the Yellow Sea." ”

"The last general commands!"

Kuang Zixin responded.

With the joint efforts of the Minfu and the Song army, bags of grain and grass were loaded onto the wharf, and then stacked on ox carts, escorted by cavalry, and transported to Tianjiazhai.

……

Tianjiazhai.

Han Zhen said with a happy face: "Liu Qi just sent someone to send news that the sailor arrived at Nigu Haikou one day ahead of schedule, and the grain and grass have arrived. ”

Hearing this, Lao Jiu's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "Finally, it's our turn to counterattack!" ”

"Reinforcements coming from the sea?"

Yue Fei on the side was puzzled.

His physique was strong, he was stabbed in three or four holes in his body, and after two days of cultivation, he was stunned like a nobody.

Han Zhen shook his head: "There are no reinforcements." ”

"Then how to counterattack?"

The doubts on Yue Fei's face were even worse.

In his opinion, 30,000 people can withstand more than 100,000 Jin troops and block the Jin army's footsteps to the south.

After all, the strength is limited, even if the Jin army on the Yongqing side suffers a defeat, the main force of the Jin army is still there, with more than 70,000 people.

Even though they were fearless in the field, once the Jin people retreated to Yanjing, they had no way to take the Jin army.

Could it be that he still wants to use 30,000 people to attack the city garrisoned by 70,000 gold troops?

Han Zhen said a little mysteriously: "I'll know in a few days." ”

Firearms and artillery can't be explained clearly by someone who hasn't seen it.

Yue Fei nodded, no more, but his heart became more and more curious.

What is it about the weight of ordnance that makes the county magistrate so confident?

Han Zhen ordered: "Lao Jiu, send scouts to Suicheng, inform Nie Dong, let him lead 10,000 foot soldiers, go north immediately, and be sure to rush to Fangshan within five days to block the retreat of the Jin army." ”

"Order!"

Lao Jiu hugged his fists in response, and then turned to leave.

After explaining, Han Zhen's eyes fell on Yue Fei, and he advised: "Your injury has not healed, and then you will recuperate in Tianjiazhai with peace of mind." ”

Hearing that he was going to be allowed to recuperate in the rear, Yue Fei suddenly stopped doing it, and said loudly: "County magistrate, it's just a little bit of a small injury, and the general is already fine." ”

As he spoke, he also slammed twice on his chest, making a dull sound.

He was not reckless, but the wounds on his body were open and fleshy and looked bluffing, but in fact, he didn't hurt his lungs, just skin injuries.

Seeing that his face was ruddy and his voice was loud, Han Zhen said helplessly: "In this case, then you can go with you." ”

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed.

……

……

Rongcheng.

Five miles away in the camp of the Jin Army.

"Vulture is dead?"

Listening to the report of Moke who had fled, Wanyan Zongwang's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes."

Namouk swallowed, his heart fluttering.

Wanyan Zongwang has a plump face like a Buddha, his temperament has always been compassionate and kind, and he treats his subordinates generously, so he has the reputation of the Bodhisattva prince in the Jin army.

This is also the reason why he was able to encircle a large group of Liao and Song generals.

But as a Moke of the Wanyan tribe, he knew very well in his heart that this was just an appearance.

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang was even more ferocious than Zhi Lou Room and others.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger and violence in his heart, Wanyan Zongwang asked with a gloomy face, "Why was the 30,000 army defeated, and who killed the vultures?" ”

Na Mouke replied truthfully: "This person's name is Han Zhen, who is good at using an iron lance, and has the courage of ten thousand people. First defeated Meng'an Alu Bu in Sannuzhai, and then broke Han Chang's Han'er army, Wushu led the army to attack Tianjiazhai, led 3,000 cavalry to raid, and then single-handedly, chiseled through the army formation......"

"Nonsense!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud shout in the tent.

I saw that Yan Lou reprimanded angrily: "You dare to lie about the military situation, drag it out and behead it!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang was silent, although he was dissatisfied with Wanyan Lou's room, he also felt that this person was talking nonsense.

Hearing this, Namouk immediately panicked, and hurriedly swore to the sky: "I swear to Abaha, and there is no word of falsehood." ”

The Jurchens practiced shamanism and had a deep faith, while Abahar was the supreme god of shamanism.

These words made Wanyan Zongwang and the others stunned.

The other party dared to swear to Abaha, and they could not believe it.

Liu Yanzong, who had been silent, spoke: "Han Zhen's name of bravery, this official has heard of it. At the beginning of last year, he led 20,000 Shandong thieves and broke 100,000 Western troops. There are also many rumors about the surrender of the Song army under the command of this official. ”

Wanyan Zongwang and the others were shocked in their hearts, the other party led 3,000 cavalry and defeated the 20,000 army of Wushu, they didn't think it was strange, because they had also done it.

The Jin people have been fighting against Liao since they started, which time is not to fight more with less.

But single-handedly chiseling through the military formation, this is outrageous.

For a moment, there was silence in the military tent.

The originally invincible Jin Army suffered setbacks one after another during this period of time, which made Wanyan Zongwang feel irritable.

First, he couldn't capture Rongcheng for a long time, and then he heard that Yongqing's 30,000 army was defeated.

Especially the death of the fourth brother Wushu added fuel to the fire.

Trying to restrain the desire to kill in his heart, Wanyan Zongwang took the lead in breaking the silence and asked in a deep voice, "Then how many people are under Han Zhen's command?" ”

Mook replied, "Five or six thousand at most." ”

"Give me 10,000 people, and I'll kill the Han thief!"

Wan Yan Lou's voice was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes boiled.

His son Mou Yan was abolished by the Han thief himself, and took the initiative to transfer the East Road army to take revenge.

Now that the Han thief is in front of him, how can he bear it.

Wanyan Zongwang vetoed: "Don't be impulsive, Rongcheng is the key right now." Take Rongcheng, and the land of Hebei will be at our mercy. If you want to take revenge at that time, there is a chance! ”

Wan Yan Lou snorted and kept silent, acquiescing to the other party's arrangement.

"We can't drag it out any longer, taking advantage of the fact that the Shandong thief reinforcements have not arrived, we need to take Rongcheng as soon as possible." Wan Yan Yan's mother proposed.

"That's right."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and ordered: "Prepare for battle, attack the city the day after tomorrow, and be sure to take Rongcheng within three days!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Yanzong, Wanyan Lou Room and others responded with their fists in unison.
