Chapter 126 Determining the overall situation
Five times of tiger squatting cannon fire, dozens of bird guns, and more than two hundred short spears, the bodies in front of the formation were filled with blood.
If you are on a plain where you can move forward and retreat freely or even choose your direction, even if you don’t know the existence of the tiger squat cannon, the cavalry will not have such a miserable end.
But this is in the southeast, with Yongjiang River on the right and several hills on the left, with only one direction and not a large area. The way the tiger squat cannons fired was shot was shot... Nearly half of the two hundred cavalry died in front of the formation. Many of the cavalry who escaped by chance had lost their war horses and could only roll and crawl back and escape.
In the cabin, Hu Yingjia coughed twice, "Dong Yikui was also a Northwest general back then, so vulnerable?"
"The hand holding the knife is now counting silver..." Hou Ruliang's expressionless face, "Now, the official army is in conflict, Wang Zhixiaoyao, this lawsuit... some have been fought."
Hu Yingjia smiled bitterly and stopped talking. The facts are here. Although I don’t know why Zhang San and Yang Wen had tolerated it suddenly broke out after a few days, in terms of the current situation, it would be fine if Dong Yikui could hold on to the formation, but he was beaten so badly... It would be impossible to attack Zhoushan before the court sent important officials to the southeastern affairs.
At this time, a burst of laughter came faintly. Hu Yingjia turned around and looked. Yang Wen pushed out several tiger squatting cannons, which scared Dong Yiyuan's troops to run away with their heads in their arms.
Dong Yikui's expression was extremely difficult to see. Although he was from the Northwest General Sect, he was from the garrison after all. Over the years, he has raised hundreds of personal soldiers around him and brought them to the southeast one after another. In name, his brothers have soldiers from the Thousand Five-Border Army under his command, but in fact more than half of them are difficult to join the formation, and many are even good at business affairs.
In other words, today's battle loss has reduced the direct combat power of Dong Yikui's brothers by at least 30% to 40%, so how can they not be heartbroken?
Dong Yikui didn't expect the other party to be so hard. If he continued to fight, he would have suffered too much loss. Otherwise, he would persuade Wang Bengu to let Lu Bin take over and look around. Behind Yang Wen, he could already see Lu Bin's troops.
Dong Yikui, who wanted to throw the pot, made up his mind and turned around and wanted to go back to the boat. He looked up and saw Wang Bengu at the bow of the boat fall down.
Not only Wang Bengu, the ships on the river and soldiers on the shore suddenly exploded, and countless people saw it. On the Yongjiang River, from west to east, in the opposite direction of the Wusong Navy, there were countless ships of all sizes, all of whom were competing for the competition, downstream, and reaching not far from the estuary.
On the hill on the south bank of the Yongjiang River, Yuepuhe looked at the cloud-like sail in amazement, and suddenly asked, "What's wrong?!"
Zhang Yuanxun forced himself to resist the restless excitement, "It must be Qi Jimei's subordinate!"
"Qi Jimei?"
The fleet that rushed towards him did not stop for a moment. The bows of the four warships at the forefront were sharply wrapped around the iron, and overturned several small boats on the river. A large number of warriors holding sharp blades stood on the deck, staring coldly at Wang Bengu, who was cold all over.
A sand boat leaned forward, and more than a dozen martial masters jumped up with long swords on their mouths, and they were almost controlled by any resistance.
Hou Ruliang in the cabin smiled wryly and said, "At least, it's not aimed at you and me."
Hu Yingjia barely supported the expression on his face, watched Wu Zuo drive the ship to the shore, and whispered: "Zhang San's attack on the government office may be an accident, but..."
"But it is definitely not an accident that the army advances eastward." Hou Ruliang shrugged indifferently. He guessed that the court should have sent important officials to go south to preside over all matters, but it should be the Nanjing Ministry of War when it comes so quickly.
The Minister of War in Nanjing is now vacant. The Minister of War is Fan Qin of Ningbo. This person is not considered a military matter. Another minister is Wang Daokun, a former Fujian Censor, who is a good friend of Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng, but he can indirectly command Qian Yuan's old subordinates.
Several large ships forced their way in the middle of the river. The soldiers holding long spears, long swords, wolf teeth and shields changed to the small boat, and in a moment they arrived on the north shore, calmly lined up behind Zhang San and Hou Jigao's troops.
At this time, there was another sound of horse hooves, and more than a hundred cavalrymen galloped from the direction of Hou Tao Mountain. The leader was a young general who waved his horse whip and shouted loudly.
Several large ships on the river raised their flags at this time, and the flags danced in the wind, barely telling that they were the word "Qi".
"It's really Qi Jimei!" Yue Puhe said, "It's lively now, Lu Bin on one side and Qi Jimei on the other."
"All of them were from garrisons, and they all rose up because of the southeast attack on the Japanese. They were all supported by the Longquan Gong." Zhang Yuanxun sneered: "If it was a war, I don't know if that guy Lu Bin would blush!"
Qi Jimei, the general of Zhejiang East, selected more than a thousand soldiers, sneaked all the way, searched for ships, and at the most critical moment, he went downstream like thunder and rushed straight to Zhenhai.
After turning over and dismounting, Qi Jimei nodded slightly to Zhang San and Hou Jigao and said hello, "There is no war, and the rest have room for maneuver."
"It's coming so fast." Hou Jigao bowed and smiled, "Both sides arrive together, major events can be decided."
"It should be just right... it's not right, it's too late!" Zhang San spat, "Just Dong Yikuen rushed to the battlefield with cavalry, and the personal soldiers and guards killed nine people in total. This account must be settled!"
Hou Jigao nodded in front of the formation, and one of your Qian family guards died and defeated them with ten heads, but just now, more than ninety cavalry of the border army had died.
Qi Jimei smiled and hammered Zhang San, "You don't know what your young master is?"
"That's true!"
"Donald Longquan will revenge his grudges, and everyone knows it."
Qian Rui, who was standing aside, looked at Qi Jimei carefully. This was a tall and handsome young man. He was a famous general brought by his son. Not only did he make frequent military achievements in attacking Japanese in Zhejiang, but he went south to Fujian and Jiangxi and was praised by the Central Military Commission of the DPRK.
Qian Rui looked at it so carefully...it was mainly because he heard from his eldest son Qian Hong that this guy once had a good heart.
Qi Jimei took a few steps forward, frowned and looked at the bloody and corpse in front of the formation, "Dong Yikui is crazy."
"He is not crazy." Qian Rui smiled and explained: "If Qian Zhancai has not gone south, as long as he can suppress Zhang Yishan, Yang Wen, Dong Yikui, and Wang Bengu still have the opportunity to start a war. Even if he cannot conquer Zhoushan, he can make the rebellion of Jing Haibo again conclusive."
"This one is..."
"This is Mr. Fang." Zhang San introduced, and saw Sun Ying behind him, Zheng Ruozeng rushed over.
"You stupid guy!" Sun Ying came up and scolded Zhang San. He knew in the morning that Qian Yuan had arrived in Songjiang Mansion, "I could do it without using any swords and weapons..."
"Not necessarily." Zheng Ruozeng smoothed out: "From this morning, Dong Yiyuan, Lu Peng, and the tribes of Yuepu River face eastward, Wang Bengu wanted to attack Zhoushan immediately... Tang Kekuan is still by the sea."
Zhang San was ecstatic, "As for this reason, I have made contributions?"
