Hou Bing sternly rejected the request of the prince of his own country to accompany him. Not to mention that he did not believe that the navy would act indiscriminately. Even if it was true, foreigners would not be allowed to enter the navy base to search.
Just as he pushed his entourage out of the gate of the County Sheriff's Mansion, an accident happened. A murderer came out and killed him on the spot, shouting the slogan "Give me my home." Before the guards of the County Sheriff's Mansion could react, the highly skilled martial artist The assailant quickly got into the group and escaped.
Phew, Ding Cai almost got water sprayed in his face.
"Are you a little more cliched?" Ding Kui wiped the water from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, "Can't we come up with some new ideas by framing the blame?"
Liang Chong's face was as cold as frost, and he said coldly: "Shameless people often like to put on gorgeous clothes when they do shameless things. I have been thinking about what high-sounding excuses my country will find. I didn't expect that the method would be so clumsy, but I can't Denial works well.”
"Hmph, they lied about the missing prince, then forcibly broke into the water stronghold, and then found the missing prince in the water stronghold. Even I can't be fooled. Who would believe their words?" Bai Yun was also indignant.
"The question is how do you prove they are lying? Then Jiman can make himself covered in wounds to gain sympathy, and he can also kill one of my private soldiers dressed as a murderer. They can do all the superficial skills beautifully. , we can't prove anything." Ding Kui screwed on the kettle and threw it to Ding Cai.
"It's really troublesome. In the end, it's not about who has the biggest fist." Ao Yu leaned against a tree with his arms folded, showing great disdain for such conspiracies.
"Hey, what Brother Yu said is true. He sees through the appearance and goes straight to the essence. History books are written by the victors, and only those who win are true." Ding Kui admired Ao Yu like this the most.
"Start hiding, they are coming." Liang Chong said to Ding Kui.
"Well, it's coming." Ding Kui looked to the southeast.
The first place to attack was the Chunlu River Ferry.
Le Pi lied that he wanted to retrieve the bodies of the prince's entourage, and because he was worried about being attacked again, he sent a large team to cross the river. Han Kai did not object.
As soon as the Chinese people crossed the river, they launched an attack in an attempt to defeat the second brigade guarding the ferry. However, Han Kai had already prepared. A battle formation of 500 people charged and knocked down most of the Le family's private army into the river. The rest might be captured by the river. Kill or be captured.
The Chinese army on the south bank of the ferry launched a fierce attack and used limited ships to rush to the north bank. When attacking Juyang City, our warships did not enter the Chunlu River because this inland river did not belong to Ding Kui's territory.
The second brigade was well prepared and used the fortifications at the ferry to block the enemy's attack.
At this time, Chunlu Bay Water Village was also attacked by our country.
Jiang Rong looked at the giant ship getting closer and closer, and ordered expressionlessly: "Set fire! Set fire to the water fortress! Fight to the death!"
What's rushing towards the gate of the water village is the Qianlong ship. Unlike Juyang City, the water depth here can accommodate this behemoth, which is more than 100 meters long. Moreover, there are more than one Qianlong ship attacking the water village, and another one is grazing not far away. Array.
Without looking at the endless shadow of sails, Jiang Rong knew that the water stronghold could not be defended just by the two Qianlong ships in the attacking position. The naval generals knew very well the horror of such warships, and small water strongholds could not be defended at all. If we can't resist, we might as well move the fighting place to land.
The water village was attacked, so the entrance to the Chunlu River was naturally unguarded, and our country's warships continued to sail into the Chunlu River.
Le Pi personally led 50,000 troops to guard the south bank of the Chunlu River, waiting for the warship to arrive and take them to the north bank.
Yudi was sitting at the headquarters in the Lengshuipo camp, looking at the staff laying out the simulation map, "Hasn't the ferry been captured yet? 20,000 pieces of rubbish!"
"Report to the commander, there is still fierce fighting at the ferry. We just learned that the defender is the second brigade of the 201st Division. It is said to be the strongest infantry brigade in Nanqiu County." A staff officer replied.
"No matter how strong we are, there are only a thousand people. How can we stop 20,000 people from swimming to the other side together?"
"Commander, they are not regular troops after all."
"Hmph, mark down the 20,000 people for me, and let them fill the city defense when we attack the county town." Yudi was very dissatisfied.
The ferry was still in the hands of the second brigade, but the water stronghold was already crumbling. Jiang Rong turned the water stronghold into a sea of fire. The navy of his country who invaded the water stronghold extinguished the fire while fighting for the landing point. The two navies fought desperately on land. .
If Le Pi's troops hadn't arrived from the land, the water stronghold would have been able to hold on until dark. Jiang Rong had just defeated a wave of enemy troops and was dragged off the battlefield by his guards, "Liu Tong, do you want to rebel?"
"Sir, you are exhausted. If you continue to fight, you will die!" The soldier captain was covered in blood, including the enemy's, his own, and Jiang Rong's.
"I have ordered a fight to the death. Many brothers are walking in front of me. I cannot let them wait too long. You are my personal soldiers and have no responsibility to live or die with the water village. You must do whatever I ask you to do."
"Master! I will protect you from the rear village!" Liu Tong had just finished bandaging one of Jiang Rong's wounds and immediately went to bandage the second one.
"Fart! Jiang vows to live and die with the water village! You still have a mission, immediately lead the soldiers to escape from the secret passage, find Ding Kui, tell him about the secret passage, and ask him to take back the water village for me in the future!" Jiang Rong He pushed Liu Tong away hard.
When Ding Kui secretly told Jiang Rong that people from his own country were very likely to invade, Jiang Rong kept it in mind. He sent people to secretly dig a secret tunnel, which connected the water village two miles away, and he could escape inside. When you leave the water stronghold, you can sneak attack on the water stronghold outside.
Not many people know this secret, and most of them have died in the war.
"Master!" Liu Tong took a step forward, but was held back by the sword on his chest.
"This is my last order. After completing this task, you can do whatever you want. If you don't listen, I will kill you now!" Jiang Rong glared at Liu Tong.
Pounce, Liu Tong knelt down on his knees, and the four or five soldiers beside him also knelt down.
"My subordinates take orders! I will follow you after completing the mission!"
"If you are really loyal to me, you should kill more people from your own country to avenge me. I hate the kind of fatherless and motherless people who hurt themselves the most. Get out!" Jiang Rong turned his head and stopped looking at those relatives. soldiers.
Liu Tong kowtowed three times respectfully, then stood up, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran to the back village.
After the soldiers left, Jiang Rong swayed and almost fell. He quickly held his sword with both hands and punched the ground. "Bah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood. "Are there any left who can fight?" He looked at the wounded soldiers staggering around him.
"Yes!" "There is also a humble position!" "Sir, wait for me."
A dozen wounded soldiers struggled to get up, picked up the weapons that belonged to someone who didn't know who they were, and limped around Jiang Rong.
"It's my fault that the water stronghold was lost. I feel sorry for you to accompany me on the road." Jiang Rong supported a wounded soldier who was weak in his legs and feet with one hand.
"It is a humble honor to have one final battle with your lord."
"What's the mistake, sir? The enemy's army is ten times, no, twenty times that of mine, and the water village is isolated and helpless. The enemy's reinforcements are coming, and no one can defend them. But please don't worry, sir. The little hammer has three swords in hand." The enemy army already has a backer."
"Fight when you fight, and I will never back down from my humble position."
The expressions of the wounded soldiers were very firm.
"Okay! It's my honor to lead you people. Come on, let's send a few more enemies to the demon purgatory!" Jiang Rong finished adjusting his breath and helped the wounded soldiers towards the battlefield.
Feng Liang quickly walked into the Zhongjun tent. Zhang Jie was sitting behind the desk. He looked up, put down the documents in his hands, and asked, "Have you started yet?"
"Sir, the second brigade sent back news that our countrymen are violently attacking the ferry, using at least more than 10,000 troops. There is no news from the water village, but the news from Dongxiong City said that they saw smoke rising from the water village."
"Well, there must be an ambush of scouts around the water village to shoot the letter eagle. We gave them too much time and space to prepare." Zhang Jie put down the document, his knuckles turned white, and he obviously used a lot of force, "ordered a blockade
The city gate will be put into wartime status from now on, and someone will be sent to ask the county governor to issue a street ban order."
"Yes!" Zhang Xulu took the order arrow and walked out of the tent.
"Sir, do we really want to defend the county with the entire army? There are no level 6 warriors in the city. If the enemy comes with an elite army, we won't be able to defend it." Feng Liang wanted to persuade him again.
"Stop talking!" Zhang Jie stood up and walked to the city defense map. "It's just a fight to the death. Are you afraid of death? How about you lead the first brigade out of the city and harass the enemy outside."
"Sir, I won't come back if I'm afraid of death. It's not against military orders for me to lead troops and stick to the Tuofeng Mountain outpost. I don't want to see my brothers sacrifice in vain."
"Stop! I know what you want to say. You have told me many times in the past few days. I have been in the army for nearly 40 years. Do I know less than you?
Responsibility, it is my responsibility to defend this place! It is my responsibility to defend the land and never retreat! When you reach my level, you will understand.
If it is a battle in a war zone and the two armies are facing each other, it is another matter to adopt tactics that can achieve the greatest benefits. You can retreat to preserve your strength.
Why don't many people want to join the border army? They just don't want to shoulder this responsibility. I don't want to be like Gongsun Jie, who can never hold his head high.
Feng Liang, to be honest, the cavalry brigade should not be defending the city. You are the ones I least want to see being dragged down by this responsibility."
"No! We are not an ordinary cavalry brigade. We are all knights. No elite infantry can compare with us. We are the military power of the 21st Legion! In the face of this glory, I cannot lead the first brigade out of the city.
"Feng Liang was anxious, fearing that Zhang Jie would send him out of the city and take away the military power and glory that did not belong to him.
"Hey, you are right and wrong. The battle flag of 'Ding Kui Squadron' is still there, so I shouldn't let you avoid the battle. If there is a way to contact Ding Kui, you can ask him to pin him behind the enemy."
Zhang Jie showed helpless eyes.
"It would be best if you give him the order yourself."
Zhang Jie's eyes lit up. He knew that Ding Kui had been promoted to master, and he hurriedly asked: "Is he in the city now?"
"No, but he may be near the county town."
"Oh." Zhang Jie was a little disappointed, "What are you doing near the county town? The troops he has on hand are not enough to shake the enemy."
"I don't know." Feng Liang was determined not to tell the truth, "Maybe he can give the enemy a surprise."
