Chapter 31 Whoever kills the deer, who is stronger and which is weaker
The origin of this Wang Zhou is something that is known to Jianchuan City from far and near.
This matter needs to be talked about from the sword and river capital to protect Wang Yuan. This Wang Yuan was originally a soldier, and when he first entered the army, he practiced excellent archery, especially good at bows. The two palms open and close the 300 catties of strong bows, the wind shoots strongly, the wood and stones are worn within 100 meters, and the tigers and jackals are hunted countless when hunting, and the arrows are accurate and fierce.
Wang Yuanqi did many righteous deeds on weekdays, helping the needy, sending charcoal in the snow, and his reputation among the soldiers was quite high. The world praised him as "the unparalleled arrow of righteousness".
Fifteen years ago, Jianchuan City was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jing Dynasty, so as to resist the throat of Southern Qin.
Southern Qin was originally the Gou'an court, and it was impossible to live in fear.
Fifteen years ago, Tu Wanqiu, a powerful minister of the Southern Qin, saw the civil strife in the Northern Dynasty. There were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses on land and water, and light boats and light horses raided Jianchuan.
The Jianchuan guards have always relied on striking down from above, and the soldiers and horses on the water are rampant, quite careless, leading the Jianchuan naval army to personally conquer, and wants to destroy the Southern Qin State and call the king the hegemon. Anyway, the current imperial court is not like the imperial court, and it is difficult to take care of Jianchuan.
This Wang Yuanqi was just a partial general at that time, and he led the infantry archers to swim up to attack Jianchuan City.
Early that morning, the soldiers marched along the riverside path. At this time, it is not yet dawn, and the thick fog on the river is shrouded, like a fairyland, and you can't see the distance or near.
Suddenly, a battleship broke through the thick fog, about ten zhang long and five zhang wide, and the red flag on it was full of "hatred". Dozens of ships slowly drove behind him, and it was the Jianchuan guard general Qiu Yuqiong who led it.
When the people on the ship saw this infantry army, they knew that it was the enemy's foot soldiers who did not need to go ashore to destroy the enemy, so they only ordered to be shot with arrows.
Wang Yuanqi suddenly encountered this enemy army, seeing that the arrow rain was fine, he did not rest for a moment, and led his troops to run up the hill behind him, retreating hundreds of meters away, but fortunately survived.
But the slow runner lay on the shore, and the blood stained the bank of the river, and the river also became dark red.
Wang Yuanqi led a thousand people with bows, and was injured six or seven by this rain of arrows. He stood on the hillside, looking at the soldiers below, there was a moan before, but now there was silence, and the tears could not stop flowing.
The remaining hundreds of people, gasping for breath, watched their friends die, but they were helpless, and there was no joy on their faces that they had escaped from death.
Their eyes were full of anger, and the unbearable ones hid their faces and wept bitterly, threw themselves on the ground and scratched the soil. I don't know if it's a father and son who died.
General Wang Bi looked at the remaining soldiers, who had never fought and were wounded more than half of them when they resisted the enemy. At this time, the dense fog on the river was dispelled by the sunlight, and only then did it discover that there were 100 enemy warships.
The fleet went straight downstream along the Jianchuan River. The battleships stretched for miles, several in unison, like giant serpents.
Tu Wanqiu expected that there would be a rebellion in the palace of the Northern Dynasty, and Qiu Yuqiong should stick to it, but at this moment, he came out of the nest.
He was originally swimming upstream, not taking advantage, but the enemy's army was steep, and he was frightened to rush out of the cabin to look.
There are only a hundred small boats on his side, and he is like a mantis arm as a car against these behemoths, and he regrets that he should not be so reckless.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses are half of their own wealth, and the Southern Qin army is weak and cannot afford to raise many military horses. The navy army is a pro-army out of their own pockets, most of the same sect are generals, and the soldiers and horses on land are the capital of the weak-crowned emperor.
Face the enemy on the water, just a few miles away.
The enemy army arrived in an instant.
Tu Wanqiu's eyes were as big as the copper bell, and when he saw that the arrow rain was shooting hard, he injured many soldiers on the shore, and he didn't dare to go forward.
He hurriedly ordered the bow of the ship to be turned, thinking that he would flee first, leaving behind the sailors.
The battle generals on the ships of the Southern Qin Dynasty saw the main ship turn around, and Gu Du did so. Tu Wanqiu hurriedly ordered the generals to meet the enemy, and those who violated the order were dealt with by military law, but he retreated.
For a while, there are many people who are uncertain, and they don't know what to do, and they are also dead before and dead after. Without an order, the naval army could not act in this Jianchuan River.
Qiu Yuqiong watched on this boat, and intuitively felt that Nan Qin Xiao'er was stupid, and he fled at this moment, but he was just killed by himself.
Taking advantage of the panic of the southern army, Qiu Yuqiong ordered to sail quickly, directly attacking the enemy, and was about to hit Nanqin Xiao'er. His own warship jumped out of the battleship, wanting to take the first credit.
Wang Yuan saw that the main general was in danger, and hurriedly led his troops to retreat, not daring to move forward. It's just that he has no water and no boats.
Wang Yuan gave up the dry food and baggage, only carried the quiver and the longbow, and retreated and rushed for several miles. Seeing that his own naval army was in a mess, blocking the Jianchuan River.
Qiu Yuqiong led his troops to shoot arrows to cover up and kill, and his own soldiers died countless times, but they had no power to resist.
Tu Wanqiu hid in the ship and trembled, occasionally leaned out of the window, and saw the soldiers in the rear being slaughtered, his heart ached, all the pawns of this ship were his own money, and there were a lot of losses, how should it be good?
Qiu Yuqiong saw that the enemy ships were congested on the river, blocking his way south. smiled and said to everyone: "Is it good to burn such a broken ship?"
At this time, the north wind was blowing strongly, and Qiu Yuqiong ordered the sails to be closed and anchored to stop the warship, which was still a hundred meters away from the enemy ship.
For a while, the rockets were released, straight like stars falling in the sky, and the Nanqin boat was set on fire a lot, and there was a sea of fire on the river, and the people in the burning boat jumped into the river and swam away. The hull of the Southern Qin ship burned to ashes.
Tu Wanqiu saw that the fire was fast, hurriedly dropped the money, food and weapons, and fled quickly.
Wang Yuan saw that this enmity was standing on the bow of the ship, waving the flag as an order, burning and killing countless people, hating the silver teeth angrily, and sneaking to the shore.
This middle-aged man's breath was uncertain, obviously caused by the rush of the party, his pupils were gathered, and he carefully measured the distance and proximity. The breath calmed down, settled down, and took out the longbow.
I saw him bend his bow like a full moon, and when he fixed his eyes with one eye, his feathers and arrows were silver and white, and the cold was awe-inspiring. See the opportunity, aim and shoot. As soon as he let go, the sharp arrow broke away and flew across the river, and the people on the boat only heard the sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air.
The people on the warship were boasting about General Qiu's tactics and breaking through the enemy, but they saw Qiu Yuqiong's throat being shot by an arrow. He clutched his neck and fell, blood trickling down, and everyone hurriedly helped him up. Everyone saw that General Qiu's eyes were gloomy, his breath was weak, and his eyes seemed to be unwilling, and he died with his eyes open, which frightened everyone and didn't know what to do.
Then he heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, but it was a sharp arrow that pierced through it, and broke the rope of the mainsail that had been put away, and the mainsail rolled down and was blown away by the north wind. Although the ship was at anchor, the treasure ship was still blown by the north wind and slowly moved forward, straight to the sea of fire.
When the sailors of the ship saw this, they climbed up the mast with a sword monkey to cut off the rope from the top, but they were shot by a sharp arrow into the center socket and fell to the deck.
Everyone on the warship panicked, and it was only fifty meters away from the sea of fire. The crowd abandoned the warship and jumped into the water, leaving the body of the enemy Yu Qiong and buried it in the fire.
When the generals saw that the Lord was about to be damaged and that it was difficult to move in the sea of fire, they returned to their troops.
The dragons of Jianchuan City were leaderless, and they did not dare to rush forward, and the generals did not accept each other, but they did not dare to report the matter to the court.
Tu Wanqiu returned to the capital of Southern Qin, and when the young emperor saw him return in embarrassment, he couldn't bear to be punished, and only praised the merit of the booby trap general, and Jiaen was promoted to the rank of captain, but he no longer took charge of the soldiers, horses, money and food.
Wang Yuan was promoted to the governor of the capital, and he was in charge of capturing Jianchuan.
Wang Yuan besieged the city for half a year with infantry and horses, but when he saw the soldiers and horses leaving the city, Gu was shot and killed.
The soldiers of the Jianchuan City Navy were in turmoil, robbing each other of money and food, so that the people were short of food and even cannibalism, and they were separated from each other.
Du Cheng Lin Shi secretly asked to surrender, opened the city gate at midnight, and Wang Yuan had to attack the city.
At this point, the Jianchuan City side was owned by Southern Qin. When the situation is stable, Wang Yuanqi was rewarded as the protector of Jianchuan, taking charge of military affairs, and in order to win the hearts of the people, he sent his minister Lin Shiyin to guard Jianchuan County.
Lin Shiyin served as the county guard, concentrated on his work, and prospered in commerce and trade for more than ten years, thus enriching this Jianchuan City.
Merchant ships are endless, this Wang Zhou is the largest treasure ship in Jianchuan City, in the past, build a good one dedicated to the young emperor, on the special decree, this scale of the treasure ship named Wang Zhou, in order to show Wang Yuan's meritorious service.
In the future, wealthy merchants often followed the example of this ship, reducing the size of the ship a little, and creating a similar looking moving cargo.
Over time, this treasure ship became a gathering place for literati and scholars, but it was elegant and vulgar. The treasure ship is also used for the wind and the moon, and gradually becomes a scene on the river, and the wanderers come to visit, squandering countless gold and silver, but they are not satisfied with this treasure ship.
Everyone in the world praises General Wang's three arrows and Jianchuan, but what he thinks about is that this Wang Boat is in the wind and snow, and he is happy in life.
Anyone who has been to this boat to play and have fun is often praised. If someone asks about the details, but they don't say anything. It makes the big guy itch in his heart.
The summer night on the river is not cool, and the warmth on the face passes through the girl's hair.
The two of them stood on the dock on the shore, watching the lights on the treasure ship. The beauty in the blue waist-length skirt and the woman in the yellow dress are slightly frowning and uncertain between their eyebrows, but they don't know why.
The warm wind blew across her face, but it was the beauty in yellow who spoke first, only to see Zhu Li say softly: "Sister, do you really want to go?" The woman in the green dress did not answer, only nodded slightly.
"This Wang Zhou is not an idle place, Sister should be careful!" The woman in yellow frowned, for fear that something would happen to her. "I hate that I can't follow my sister and live and die together. ”
The woman in the blue skirt looked at this little girl and scolded: "Don't talk about what is not alive and dead, and wait for me to come back." ”
Shaoqing was a canopy boat rowing over, breaking through the river in the darkness, and there were a little ripples. The boat was lit with dark red lights, and the boatman's face was dark, and there was no joy or grief to be seen.
It turned out that the treasure ship would sail in the evening and would not dock until noon the next day. Ordinary people usually want to board a ship or go ashore from the shore, so they take this special boat.
This boat picks up passengers at an exclusive pier. The boatman was not in a hurry, but just watched the two women standing on the pier, not knowing what it was.
The woman in the blue skirt was heartbroken, and she stepped down from the bow of the boat and stood still.
The woman in yellow looked anxious and watched her get on the boat and go away: "Sister, you have to come back quickly." ”
The woman in the green skirt stood with her back to each other, letting the river breeze blow away her sideburns and hair, but she didn't look at the people on the shore. this
A small boat traveled for a while, and the girl gradually heard the joy of silk and bamboo, but it was not the king boat approaching.
The boat was brightly lit, as if it was daytime, and the figures on it were noisy. It was pitch black all around the ship. The underwater light and shadow are also dazzling, and the two flames complement each other.
The river rippled and dizzy. The boatman leaned against the side of the boat, and there were more than three feet of ropes and ladders on the boat.
But the girl did not need to climb the ladder, but flew up, and by the ladder she got up again and flew back to the boat.
The body was like a green willow, and it landed firmly on the deck, without making the slightest sound.
When all the people on the boat saw the woman, they did not do anything different, but most of them went their own way. The dance did not take a break.
The woman looked around at the treasure ship and saw that most of the people were drunk and dreaming of death, and closed their eyes to play. The eyes froze, and the fierce light disappeared instantly. The phoenix's eyes moved slightly, and he picked up a white jade wine glass, but he didn't know what he was thinking?
