Chapter 675: Will be a guest of the king's gate (Part 2)
On the river, there is a scene where thousands of sails compete and thousands of rushing. The fireworks ignited by the firearms projected on the north bank of the river from time to time are like the best smudge of this forced crossing scroll.
The tide echoed in his ears, the sound of wind and waves and paddling, Lin Qianjun, who was lying on the undulating river boat, also had a pale face, like a newly hatched chick, and he wished he could take root on the board.
This was the first time he had seen such a vast and flat river when he was used to the mountains in southern Zhejiang. He felt that his whole body was washed from head to toe by some vast and vast invisible thing.
Then he quickly fell into the seasickness symptoms that troubled most people. The canned meat-based cakes he had just eaten were almost spit out by swaying and shaking. Therefore, he had to try to turn his memories to his previous encounters.
At least compared with the tens of thousands of prisoners of southern Zhejiang coalition who were successively escorted to Xuan, Run, Rao, Xin, Shao and other places in batches and undergoing labor reform; as members of Zhang Zimian's direct subordinate Xiaojie Battalion, most of them have obtained the opportunity to retain and reform.
The reason is simple and helpless:
On the one hand, they were originally the strong men who were specially selected and trained and armed from the young and middle-aged refugees. They did not lack experience in the battle and could not be released back to the countryside at will.
On the other hand, it is because under the direct leadership of Zhang Zimian, they did not have many chances to do evil or to harm the people to succeed; so in the subsequent selection and mutual exposure, most people were lucky enough to pass the test.
In addition, there was another factor that eventually led to this matter. The women and children who had originally disappeared from their garrison were found in some manors and houses with rich families and big families;
This includes the family mansion of their former nominal local official and former governor Luyo, the former governor of the state. Therefore, these betrayalers really need this opportunity to show their own value.
Of course, their purpose and motivation are also different: some people simply don’t want to go back to the fields and relive the hard work and sweating of their muddy feet, but they still have a bad day.
Some people do not want to waste their skills and experience in the battle formation; or they can't wait to turn to the former rich families who plundered and harmed their relatives to take revenge.
Some people are simply attracted by these peaceful thieves who claim and advocate to recreate a new world on earth, and hope to have the opportunity to witness and participate in it with their own eyes.
Lin Qianjun is the third category. He was the only one who was the chief of the Southern Zhejiang Alliance. Now he is just a temporary battalion. He is only a thirty-three soldiers on this big flat-headed river boat.
The reason for the thirty-three people was that the one who was his team deputy and the head of the flag. Not long after the boat was rowing, the soldiers fell into the river. I don’t know where they were washed or rescued.
The rest of the people were not much better. They took the boat and rowed apart, but they were all lying on the wide boat board like plague chickens.
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to rescue me in advance, I took off my armor that might become a burden and confiscated the fixed weapons, I would have wanted to have a live farce of self-harm and self-harm on this ship.
Fortunately, the flat-panel river boat that was chasing waves finally landed in the dull sound of collision. Lin Qianjun also jumped into the knee-deep river water with moisture splashed by the mist on the river.
Then he felt that his legs and feet were suddenly sucked by the mud and fine sand under the water; and with the continuous surging tide of the river, it seemed as if it was slowly sinking into it.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little glad to listen to the advice of the navy soldiers on the same boat, took off all his shoes and boots and went into the water barefoot, wearing only a single dress and lower hips; so he quickly stabilized his body in the floating beach.
However, some other soldiers who went into the water one after another had no such luck or opportunity; from time to time, some people lost their balance and flipped over and flew into the river, stirring up a large amount of dirty things, and were dragged back by their companions.
Then they climbed to the edge of the boat board, took the backpacks tied with their armor, swordsmanship and smelly boots, and helped each other to slowly wade forward and climb ashore.
It was not until they temporarily left the range of the river tide that they stopped under a dike, put on leather armor with iron or punctuated nails, stepped on their swords and picked up their hand cards and short spears, and continued to push each other to climb towards the dike.
This is also their weakest and disadvantageous state. As long as a team of archers are arranged on the earthen embankment, it is enough for them to gather on the narrow beach and can only climb up slowly to hate them.
Fortunately, the worst case did not happen; Lin Qianjun, who was the leader who climbed to the top of the earthen embankment with his hand on his back, looked carefully and saw that the embankment had nothing else except for the messy footprints and some abandoned fences.
So he quickly dragged the rope tied around his waist, and pulled a centipede ladder made of bamboo joints to the surface of the embankment and fixed it into the gap of the stone with a drill.
So the soldiers carrying many equipment were able to climb up faster; and the flat-headed big Banjiang ships that were docking had loaded and unloaded more equipment and equipment from the same ship.
When Lin Qianjun, who had arrived on the dike first, all of them were blowing the thin bamboo flute; so they began to organize and count each other's equipment, and took out the wet dry food bags from the backpack, and swallowed them with sugar-added tea soup.
At this time, the police and shouts of killing from far to near began to ring out intermittently near the embankments in the distance; but there was a late counterattack along the north coast after hearing the news.
Looking down from Lin Qianjun's position, in the sparse forest behind the embankment, there were also more than a dozen gray-white flags as guided by, and faint figures and sounds rushed towards this place.
At this time, two large baskets of arrows were dragged onto the earthen embankment and sent to the hands of their only five horned bows and two soldiers with crossbows; most of them also brought helmets and put on boots.
"Squat down and set up a group sign so that he could not look at my formation. If he was close, he would fire the arrow."
Lin Qianjun also spoke calmly.
Before he could finish his words, the enemies who were catching guns rushed out of the cover of the bushes, and shot a sparse round of arrows with their heads on their backs. In an instant, most of them fell on the earthen embankment.
Only a few jinglings hit the erected ball cards, but they bounced off lightly; at this time, Lin Qianjun spit out the turbid air and shouted:
"Bow!"
Only when the buzzing strings beside him were heard, three people rushed forward suddenly fell to their faces, but were flooded in a blink of an eye; Lin Qianjun said again:
"Release the crossbow..."
Two soldiers in iron armor in the enemy group fell down; at this time, the five archers were arching arrows again, and they radiated again without any more instructions, overturning several people.
The momentum of the enemy's rushing forward suddenly stopped, and showed some hesitation and distraction. At this time, Lin Qianjun suddenly stood up and waved his sword and shouted:
"Hold the spear with my hand and follow me to rush forward."
In an instant, under the leadership of his leadership, the head of the dike, which had originally gathered a hundred people, was like a rushing down thousands of troops, and a counterattack of a rainbow of momentum entered the enemy troops who had suddenly stepped down.
I saw that the short spear that was first pushed straight into a fan shape, poking over, stabbing down the dozens of enemy soldiers who were in the front row, and then they abandoned their spears and beat the enemy in the back row, and then they separated the follow-up swordsman and rushed into it.
As the saying goes, the brave ones win when the two armies meet, those enemy troops that have not yet completely rushed out of the sparse trees have been defeated by the vanguard soldiers who have been repelled like bead curtains;
The flags that were originally held high in the air were cut down, broken, and trampled on the ground with the irresistible decay of the leader;
When the largest flag was also knocked down, the remaining seven or eight flags that had not yet emerged from the bushes seemed to have some huge blow and influence, and they all fell down, leaving only the sound of rushing and running away.
At this time, Lin Qianjun, who was leaning on a big tree with some force and strength, also found that he had gathered seven or eight teams nearby.
Therefore, without hesitation and waiting, he once again made people sound the sound of bamboo flute gathering and advancing forward, and then he took the lead in his team's remaining twenty men and followed the traces of the remaining enemies who were throwing their armor.
However, after not far away, they chased and lost the remaining enemies. Because the defeated soldiers were already rushing to take off their robes and clothes, throw their weapons and spread them all over, and drilled into the ditches, fields, and woods, they disappeared.
Therefore, the firearms projected by warships on the river in the distance, the lit whistle towers and forts, undoubtedly became their best offensive direction indicators.
Soon, Lin Qianjun met a newly abandoned fortress at a fork at the fortress at a river fork; he saw a messy and messy inside, and even the burnt wood and the food cooked in the pottery jar were still very hot.
However, some intuition and induction that he had been driving the army for many years suddenly stopped him; and prevented other soldiers from resting and eating on the spot.
"Stop, come and shoot a round of fire at the bush on the left slope..."
Although it was a little unclear on the left and right, gradually, under the reaction of instinct, they took fire and bows to shoot uneven rain of arrows on the slope next to them.
Although it is now the turn of spring and summer with a lot of water in plants and trees, when many arrows are fired, some dead branches and leaves are still ignited, and some thick smoke that is not burning is coming out.
Just like these thick smoke, it seemed to have been triggered, many bodies that were stained with dust were rushed out in an instant.
So, in front of the Taiping Army leader who was alert and just taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, the so-called ambush and raid became a joke that had to be fought into a bad battle.
After half a day of rest and replenishment, the vanguard team led by Lin Qianjun had already arrived in a daze where the floating bridge ferry was located, which was far away from the other side.
The depressions surrounded by the continuous Danjing stone walls by the river were several cast iron cattle and their broken iron chains, and were then covered by the military camp that was only left on the cliff.
And in this military camp, the Huainan Army's red bird flag is still floating; behind the anti-ditch, fence, horse-rejected horse and wooden walls, there are still faint reflections of armor and swords.
——I am the dividing line of Jiangnan—
In Dantu City, it is also reporting on the follow-up situation:
"The vanguard troops landed in Jiangbei have seized more than a dozen camps and posters along the coast..."
"I did not encounter the main counterattack of the Huainan Army. Only some local Turkish groups and garrison troops were fighting to defend the situation..."
"The temporary camp in southern Zhejiang that started is besieging Guabu Town and Jikou Shuizhai in Liuhe County, asking for firearms from the navy"
