Chapter 39: The Vultures are trapped
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing coordinated the defense of Pingjiang Mansion with General Li, they rushed to Zhenjiang to help Han Shizhong. At that time, the Jin military division Hami Chi received a secret report, and only waited for the fire in the Song military camp to start, so he led the loach ship to attack the water village along the river.
Shangguan Jiannan and Niu Gao followed the plan and set fire to a side camp to confuse Hamichi. That night, a column of smoke spiraled upward, illuminating the entire river in an instant. The fishermen who were lurking in Zhenjiang City before saw that there was an infighting in Han Shizhong's water village, so they immediately sent a message to Hamichi.
Hamichi received the signal of the arrow and laughed. He said to the accompanying generals: "Now that the Song battalion is killing each other, when will it be better not to capture Han Shizhong's water village along the river at this time?" Soldiers, charge me. ”
Under Hamichi's order, more than a dozen loach ships sped up their speed and rushed towards Han Shizhong's sailor Dazhai. At this time, Dazhai was already in chaos, and there were shouts, fights and neighing of war horses everywhere.
In the chaos, a general with a flowing beard and a brocade robe could be faintly seen directing the situation. Ha Mi knew that this person must be Han Shizhong, so he said to his generals: "Listen to the soldiers, the person in the red robe is Han Shizhong. Whoever catches him will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold. ”
After Hami opened the reward, the golden battalion soldiers rushed forward one by one. At this time, Han Shizhong's soldiers hurriedly rowed a sharp-bottomed sailboat and let Han Shizhong and his wife get on the boat first. Han Yan saw that the situation was not good, and while quickly getting on the boat, he also let the other soldiers escape by boat.
Suddenly, the boats of Han Shizhong's water village abandoned the village one after another and sailed along the river in the direction of Huang Tiandang. Hami Chi chased after him, and he laughed again: "Han Shizhong's army was defeated like a mountain, so I chased him and captured him alive." ”
Seeing that the Jin soldiers were chasing after him, Han Shizhong waved the handsome flag at the bow of the boat, signaled the soldiers to speed up the rowing, and got rid of Hamichi's pursuit. How could Hami Chi, who was following behind, easily let Han Shizhong go, and he also let the helmsman slam on the paddle wheel, urging the loach boat to chase after him closely.
In this way, Han Shizhong introduced the big loach ship of Hami Chi to Huang Tiandang. Huang Tiandang is shaped like a gourd mouth, and when Hami's ship comes in, it is still wide and easy to travel, but the more you go inside, the more difficult it is to navigate. Because it was full of clumps of reeds, and the underwater silt was very heavy. A ship with a deep draft like the loach ship can only face grounding when it arrives here.
The night is like a thick ink, swallowing everything around it. Hamichi stretched his neck, looked east and west, and tried his best to search for Han Shizhong's fleet. However, except for the resounding wind, Hamichi can no longer feel that anything exists.
At this moment, Hami Chi, who seemed to be in a trance, suddenly panicked, and he felt that his sailor had fallen for Han Shizhong's strategy to lure the enemy deeper. Thinking of this, Hamichi immediately ordered the soldiers to turn around, but the exit was blocked by many broken ships.
Just when Hamichi was anxious, Jin Wuxuan also rushed here to reinforce him. Seeing that their ships were in the same place, Han Shizhong immediately ordered the archers to drop rockets at them. For a while, the surrounding area turned into a sea of red flames, and Jin Wuxuan and Hami Chi saw that the way back was blocked by Han Shizhong, so they had to order the big loach ship to sail towards the depths of the narrow harbor.
Han Shizhong saw that Jin Wuxuan and Hami Chi had entered the pocket array, so he shouted from a distance: "Jin Wuxuan, the end of this yellow sky is covered with silt, and I will surround the exit with heavy troops, even if you have wings, it will be difficult for you to fly." ”
In order to prevent Jin Wushu from escaping, Han Shizhong ordered the sailors to lay a sharp iron net at the exit, and the soldiers patrolling the river on both sides were equipped with strong bows and crossbows. Jin Wushu saw that Han Shizhong set up organs and deployed heavy troops,
Wanting to trap all the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom in Huang Tiandang, he couldn't help but sigh continuously, and then drew his sword out of its sheath and prepared to die.
At this time, Hami Chi desperately held the handle of the sword, and he persuaded Jin Wushu bitterly: "Four wolf lords, you are invincible with the Golden Bird Axe, and you have made great contributions to the hegemony of the Great Jin Kingdom. Now this small setback, how can it stop your ambition. ”
After listening to Hamichi's persuasion, Jin Wuxuan gradually regained his composure. However, how to solve the real dilemma, he is really helpless. Hami Chi told Jin Wuxuan that there is a way that money can make ghosts grind. As long as you are tempted by heavy profits, you are not afraid that you will not be able to find capable people.
Hami's words made Jin Wuxuan suddenly have a sense of seeing the sun, and he immediately passed down the general order, telling all parts of the camp to reward those who escaped from danger with heavy money.
After the news spread, Yu Yunwen, who had already left Han Shizhong's camp, expressed concern about the matter. On his way back to the camp, he happened to meet Fu Tianpeng. Yu Yunwen took out a letter and a bag from her arms. He told Fu Tianpeng that if Marshal Han did not follow the advice in his letter, then he would ask Fu Tianpeng to open the bag without anyone noticing.
Fu Tianpeng nodded, and after he and Zhao Xueqing said goodbye to Yu Yunwen, they went straight to Han Shizhong's camp. At this time, Han Shizhong's handsome tent was staggered, and the joyful voices were continuous. After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing came in, Han Shizhong waved his hand at the two of them, motioning for them to sit down and share the joy of victory.
Fu Tianpeng thought of Yu Yunwen's prior entrustment, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately handed over the letter in his arms to Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong opened the letter and looked at it, and the content of the letter was to remind him that he must pay attention to someone who works for the Jin Kingdom and help them get out of danger.
Han Shizhong read the letter, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is precisely because Jin Bing is not familiar with the terrain of Huang Tiandang that he fell for my plan to lure the enemy into depth. At present, the exit is being held back by me, even if outsiders want to help him, it is impossible. ”
Fu Tianpeng saw that Han Shizhong did not adopt Yu Yunwen's opinion, so he sat down with Zhao Xueqing, just as if this incident had not happened. When all the people in the camp have drunk and drunk, and all of them have dispersed. Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, now let's open Yu Gongzi's bag and see what is written inside." ”
When the two of them opened the bag, they found a note inside. It reads: When the Jin Wushu escapes to Niutou Mountain, please ambush the Jin soldiers in the dense forest on the left side of the mountain.
After Fu Tianpeng destroyed the note, he said to Zhao Xueqing: "Young Master Yu is like a god, and Marshal Han really didn't adopt his opinion. Presumably, Jin Wuyu may escape soon, so let's prepare for the next move according to the strategy of the tips. ”
Zhao Xueqing nodded, and secretly instructed Fu Tianpeng not to tell others about this. After some discussion, the two went to bed.
On the side of the Jin camp, after Jin Wushu passed the order to reward him, a thin man walked in that night, and he told Jin Wuxuan that as long as he followed his advice, he could rescue the soldiers of the whole battalion from the predicament.
Seeing that the other party was a Song man, Jin Wuyu immediately had round eyes and strange eyes, and wanted to order the soldiers to push him out and behead him. When this man saw this, he immediately laughed. Jin Wuxuan asked angrily, "You are dying, can you still laugh?" ”
Where did Cheng think, this person scolded Jin Wuzhu again: "Your name is Wuxuan, I think you should change your name to Wuzhu." Blind as a bat. ”
After hearing this, the soldiers of the Golden Battalion all looked angry. However, Jin Wuxuan waved his hand at them, and he told the Song people standing in front of him that as long as what he said made sense. Instead of killing him, you can also get a huge fortune.
The Song people replied to Jin Wuxuan, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient for them to say. Jin Wuxuan retreated left and right, leaving only Hamichi alone. At this time, Jin Wushu said to the Song people: "Now there is no one else, you can tell the truth." ”
The Song people took out a letter from their bosom and handed it to Jin Wuxuan. Jin Wushu read the letter and immediately treated the Song people with courtesy. It turned out that this Song man was none other than Wang Beixin, the deputy general of the naval division who wanted to design and harm Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing in front of Han Shizhong's camp before.
This person has been obeying Qin Hui's orders, secretly obstructing the Northern Expedition, and waiting for an opportunity to hide the generals of the main battle faction. When he learned that Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing came to Han Shizhong's camp to pass on the situation that the Jin people were preparing to attack the Song Dynasty. Because Wang Beixin couldn't get in touch with Qin Hui in time, he planned to use his identity in the barracks to get rid of Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing unconsciously.
How did he know that his trick was actually seen through by Zhao Xueqing. Wang Beixin continued to stay in Han Shizhong's camp, and could only sit and wait for death. So he fled without a trace, and was secretly planning to make a comeback.
Seeing that the other party was Qin Hui's person, the vigilance in his heart suddenly disappeared. While drinking with Wang Beixin, he asked him for advice on how to escape from this place.
Wang Beixin took a sip of wine and slowly said to Jin Wuxuan: "Four wolf lords, the end of this yellow sky is full of reeds, and the river is filled with thick silt. As a result, the ship was stuck in this place, and it was difficult to move an inch. ”
After listening to Wang Beixin's analysis, Jin Wuxuan and Hamichi both nodded in unison. Then Jin Wushu said to Wang Beixin: "General Wang, what you said is the truth. That's why I'm worried. ”
Wang Beixin grinned, and he told Jin Wuxin that as long as the soldiers dug up the silt of the river day and night, and kept pushing forward, they could bring water from the nearby Lao Stork River. As long as the river fills the river, you can escape. ”
After listening to Wang Beixin's words, Jin Wuxuan immediately said to Ha Michi: "Kazakh military division, the matter of digging the river and dredging is related to the life and death of our army, please work hard and be responsible for supervising the matter." ”
Hamichi received orders from Jin Wuxuan, and then recruited strong forces from all ships to prepare for the excavation of the river. It is "to die and then to live", those trapped Jin soldiers desperately dig the river and lose the blockage. Hundreds of miles of rivers were opened overnight.
As the depth of the river continues to extend, the water of the Old Stork River continues to flow here. When Jin Wushu saw the scene in front of him, he was as happy as a long-drought seedling in a sweet rain. After rewarding Wang Beixin, he took the remnants of the soldiers and horses and ran in the direction of Niutou Mountain.
After dawn, Han Shizhong found that Jin Wuxuan's soldiers and horses had actually escaped from Huang Tiandang, and he felt remorseful in his heart. At the same time as writing to the imperial court to ask for a reduction of responsibility, Han Shizhong repaired a letter to Marshal Yue Fei, who was on the head of the cow at the time, and asked him to send troops to intercept Jin Wuxuan.
The military situation was urgent, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing took the initiative to ask for help, and rushed to Niutou Mountain to meet Yue Shuai.
