Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 341

Not long after Su Yi's army marched, the first batch of scouts had returned, and were soon led to report the news in front of the general.

When he heard that it was Xiadu Pond near Longdu Ferry that was on fire, Su Yixuan relaxed his heart a little, and then asked quickly: "Then how is Longdu Ferry going? Has it ever been attacked?"

The scout shook his head and said, "Humblely, I just arrived near Xiadutang and saw that the civilian boats in the camp were all burned, and the rioters fled in all directions. It is not easy to move forward, so we can only withdraw the report first."

Although the scouts didn't get any news from Longdu, Su Yi had gradually guessed in his heart that no matter which side the arsonists were from, the number of people must not be many.

On the one hand, Stone City has its own guards here, and there are Zhang Jian's Ministry and many ranger watchposts in the east of Jiankang, and Xuancheng in the south has been completely swept away. No matter which direction, it is impossible for a large army to sneak in quietly. here.On the other hand, the most important thing in the vicinity of Longdu is naturally the rice grain at the ferry. The opponent chose Xiadu instead of rushing to Longdu, and it must be because of insufficient military strength.

With such a realization, Su Yi gradually felt relieved, while sending someone to tell Stone City that there is no need to be overly nervous, and dividing troops to guard the exits around Jiankang City according to the original plan, another melancholy came to mind.

The thousands of civilians in Xiadutang are extremely important manpower, and they have to be relied on to transport rice and grain supplies, especially when the battle between Gushu and Gushu is in full swing, a slight delay in the supply of the rear will destabilize the frontline troops.Moreover, these peasants are all villagers in the vicinity of Danyang. Once they are allowed to wander in various directions, it will not only be difficult to regroup, but also may cause other troubles, or shake the already vacillating old guard.

After pondering for a while, Su Yi ordered his troops to speed up their march, and they must be gathered and guarded before the civilians completely collapsed.After all, it was his own guess about the situation of the enemy. After all, he would not be completely relieved until he saw that Longdu Ferry was safe and sound.

At this time, it was past midnight, and more than an hour had passed since Xiadutang was burned. Not only a large number of civilians fled to the four fields, but even the thousands of soldiers in the barracks had already been dispersed.The civilian boats moored in the pond are still burning, billowing thick smoke.

On a small hill not far from Xiadutang, Xu Mao and others were standing or standing, almost all of them were injured.In order to maintain the agility of their actions, they did not wear armor that was more defensive but too bulky, and went into battle with light armor.

Dozens of people go to attack the camp of thousands of people. Although they have a surprise advantage, their strength is really weak. To cause the greatest disturbance in the shortest time, everyone must do their best. Time is tight and they cannot Convergence and hiding, so almost everyone encountered varying degrees of siege.Being able to survive and rush out while taking advantage of the chaos is already extremely lucky.

Xu Mao's left shoulder blade was shot by a stray arrow, and he was also stabbed in the abdomen, but there was no time for careful diagnosis and treatment, so he just broke the shaft of the arrow and bandaged it a little.At this moment, he was supported by a Longxi soldier, looking anxiously at the civilian husbands who had fled nearby, hoping to find his companion.

The location where they are now is the gathering place selected earlier, and the agreed time has already passed, but the number of people gathered around Xu Mao is only a mere twenty or so people, and there are two people like Xie Yi and Yu Manzhi. All the children of the aristocratic families who accompanied the team were still missing.

"General, the time has passed!"

A Longxi soldier couldn't help reminding that the task of rushing to the camp this time was not considered the most difficult among the tasks they performed in the past. In the early years of rebellion or suppression of rebellion, there were even cases where a small team was wiped out.Although they were also sad that their companions were not among the chaos, this was their mission.The cultivation of Longxi soldiers is far more difficult than that of ordinary family soldiers. They are not used in ordinary battle formations, but such surprise attacks or fortifications are their unshirkable responsibilities.

"Wait another quarter of an hour!"

Xu Mao said in a depressed tone, still feeling lucky in his heart.He is used to seeing life and death, and he knows the arduous task of this trip, and losing half of it is considered the best result.But in this operation, whether it is Yu Manzhi, who does not regard his family background as beauty and takes the lead, or these Longxi soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, and fearless of death, he feels admiration from the bottom of his heart.He would rather stay a little bit more dangerous, and it would be worthwhile to rescue another strong man in the same robe.

"I'm coming!"

A Longxi soldier who was squatting on the rock and watching suddenly pointed down and said in surprise, Xu Mao and the others hurriedly looked, and saw that there were more than 20 people supporting each other and walking towards here, it was Yu Manzhi and his party.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they pushed away the fleeing folks and villagers to meet them.Before approaching, Yu Manzhi, whose arms were drooping, pointed at Xie Yi and yelled, "Xie Wuyi, you idiot! I said earlier that this is the hill, and you insist on taking us to the west! "

Xie Yi, who had a big oolong and led everyone to the wrong gathering place, didn't dare to refute after hearing the words, but just smiled awkwardly: "I was too obsessed and drank too much wine earlier, don't blame it, don't blame it! To drink in the future, meritorious service I will not keep any rewards, and I will have fun with you all!"

After the catastrophe, the rest of his life reunited with his companions. Although these people had disputes, they were still more joyful in their hearts. They stayed here to take care of their injuries, and then they walked down the hill together, heading for Qingxi in the northeast.This boy Yu Manzhi's entire arm was dislocated, and there was a bloody knife wound behind his ear that almost split half of his head, but he didn't realize it, he happily held a few bloody decapitated heads, and muttered I want to take it home for my dad to watch.

Time passed little by little, and as the three thousand stone city defenders rushed, a large number of civilians were driven eastward.The camp at Longdu Ferry had already been alerted, with blazing torches set up, thousands of defenders were standing by, and at the same time, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the camp to inquire about news, and at the same time drove away the peasants who had fled here.

After the two armies joined forces, the guard of Longdu hurried over to exchange news with Su Yi. After hearing that the direction of Longdu was indeed not attacked, Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming his guess.He was really careless this time, he was attacked by some small group, and he caused such a big mess, almost destroying the entire Xiadutang.But fortunately, the opponent was short of manpower. Although there was a commotion, it was just a false alarm.

Su Yi quickly ordered the guards of Longdu to clean up the situation, and then he was about to return to Jiankang City to calm down the chaos. Suddenly, he heard a rumbling and dull sound, and immediately the whole ground under his feet trembled, as if thousands of horses were galloping, or Dilong turned over.When he was hesitating in his heart, he suddenly heard a mournful roar in the distance: "Mountain torrents are coming..."

The sound has not stopped yet, and the loud noise between the sky and the earth is becoming clearer and clearer. It is the loud noise of water waves that shake the mountains and make people's faces change!

Su Yi's mind suddenly went blank, and then he had a flash of inspiration: "Longdu Hangdai...Damn it!"

His thoughts came to an abrupt end at this point, and his whole body was pulled up horizontally by the guards and rushed to the nearest hill. Looking back, he saw the turbulent water waves engulfed in mud and rocks, and the original Most of the Longdu camp had already been swallowed up by the flood!Immediately, a wave of water surged up, suddenly knocking out many torches in front of the camp gate, the field of vision was already pitch black, there was a roar in Su Yi's ears, mixed with faint howls and screams!

------

Since the cattle, horses and animal power prepared here in Hangdai earlier had been used for other purposes, the group of captured guard soldiers finally opened the gate and released the water to pull the winch cable.

The water stored in the pond was rolling down, and it was too late for Shen Zhezi to check the results of the water attack.But looking at the water flowing down from the sluice, we can know that Longdu Ferry will not be spared and will become Zeguo.Water dams and the like are originally used to raise the water level, and there must be a certain drop between them and the river. In addition, the Longdu sluice gates have not been opened for more than half a year, and the water storage is abundant. The abundance is by no means inferior to flash floods!

"General, what should we do with the prisoners of the old guard?"

With such a smooth completion of the task, all the family members, including Longxi Zuo, were very excited, someone stepped forward and asked.

Glancing at the trembling old guard soldiers, Shen Zhezi waved his hands after pondering for a while and said, "Let them go."

Shen Zhezi is not a bloodthirsty person in essence, even when the two armies are facing each other, he never regards beheading as beauty.What's more, these old guard soldiers have no position to speak of, even if they do evil, they are coerced by others.They may not be good, but they are not born murderers either.

"The general is merciful, let you escape for your life, and return to your hometown to hide. If anyone dares to follow the rebellion again, he will be executed without mercy!"

The Longxi soldiers stepped forward to announce the order, and the captives scattered and fled as if they had been pardoned after hearing the words.Although now they can also see that this group of so-called master masters is only a few dozen people, but they really have no desire to resist, and more than half of them disappeared into the night without hesitation.But there were also dozens of people who stayed behind, and when they saw that the faces of the Longxi soldiers turned unfriendly, they hurriedly bowed down and said: "We are coerced by the thieves. Drive to serve, pay for merit with crime!"

Shen Zhezi pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then ordered: "Give them weapons!"

"General, this..."

Kuaiji Konghun stepped forward and whispered, he was really worried about these soldiers who defected so easily.

"We are the teacher of the king's order, how can we prevent people from returning to the king's order."

Although Shen Zhezi said it righteously, in fact, it is not very harmful to accept these people, not to mention that the number of captives left behind is only more than 50 people, even if it is doubled, it is difficult to threaten them. Xizu.

"set off!"

After the captives were equipped with their own weapons, Shen Zhezi led the doubled number of troops and hurried to the north in the direction of Qingxi.He wants to rush out of the city before dawn, and take advantage of the last bit of darkness to rush into Taicheng to control the situation!
　The change of perspective is a bit frequent, because there are too many participants, it is difficult to describe it clearly from the perspective of the protagonist. . .I also want to finish writing this entire plot quickly, but I have to move bricks during the day, and switching perspectives to write is more energy-intensive. You can wait until this plot is finished and then re-read it. It should be smoother. . .
