When the wardens set out to leave the island in four armed vehicles and boats, the Qu family lurked at the mouth of the river to watch the situation. When the plan to lure the snake out of the cave was completed, they rode horses and quickly rushed to Jiuweng Bridge to inform Qu Wuming.
Qu Wuming hid in the mouth of the branch where Quyang River and Jinchuan River meet south of Jiuweng Bridge. Someone reported that there was a fierce fighting in the direction of the river mouth. Dozens of pirate boats outside the river bank dock were ignited by Lin Fu's kerosene and burned.
The raging fire burned the sky in the direction of the river mouth red, making the glazed lamps of the turret and Prison Island lighthouse dim in comparison.
The bandits were caught off guard by Lin Fu and his men, and no one thought of reporting the news to Qu Wuming. Looking at the situation at the mouth of the river, Qu Wuming thought that the bandits were about to succeed.
In Qu Wuming's view, as long as he successfully lures the prison guards out of the cave, defeats and annihilates them in the narrow waters between the prison island and the river mouth, there will be no force in the river mouth that threatens the actions of the bandits and the Qu family before dawn.
It will be the fish and meat slaughtered by the Qu family.
There were still two hours before dawn, so Qu Wuyang immediately dispatched, and three fast oars carried more than 200 people, including Quyang Town's inspection chief's sword archers and Qu's private soldiers, to "rescue" the mouth of the river.
It is necessary to "rescue" Hekou before the Dongcheng Weima infantry is dispatched in order to collect more evidence against Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu.
*************
On the Chaotian Dangshui, which was shrouded in darkness on the west side of the Jiang'an Pier, She Feihu saw that the battle at the mouth of the river had spread from the water to the shore. The soldiers led by Lin Fu were unstoppable. No matter under the water or on the shore, no bandits could be seen.
If he can organize a decent counterattack, he knows that the situation has been decided. Even if he leads nearly two hundred elite combat forces of the She family to join the battle, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
She Feihu was a little interested and had no intention of hiding here anymore to watch the battle. He also wanted to prevent Lin Fu from defeating the pirate ships and then concentrate on dealing with them.
"Lin Fu was greedy and wanted to round up all the bandits who came ashore..." Du Rong said.
Following the direction of Du Rong's finger, She Feihu, Song Jia and the others saw that Zhao Hu was leading four armed vehicles and ships to chase and defeat the fleeing pirate ship. However, looking at the combat range of the four armed vehicles and ships, they actually blocked the opening into the Jinchuan River. In this way,
The four to five hundred bandits who had already landed at the mouth of the river were unable to escape through the waterway.
"Lin Fu wants to capture evidence of the Qu family's involvement in this matter," Qin Zitan said.
The bandits were invited by the Qu family. This is something that everyone knows very well. Although the Qu family has not yet sent large-scale private soldiers to directly participate in the battle to attack the mouth of the river, there must be some among the group of bandits who are sent by the Qu family.
The bandits belonging to different water village forces formed a temporary force to attack the mouth of the river.
In order to completely control the timing of the attack on Hekou, the Qu family secretly sent many people. Only by capturing these people can we obtain evidence against the Qu family's involvement in the incident.
It will not be so easy for the Qu family to clear their names.
Since Lin Fu is determined to round up the bandits on the shore, he can't spare any time to take care of this place. She Feihu doesn't have to leave in a hurry. Of course, he doesn't dare to provoke them when Lin Fu is at his peak; let Lin Fu
If you seize some clues about them and send them to Li Zhuo, it will be too late for them to take the medicine of regret.
At this time, She Feihu and the others saw the doors of the two enclosed houses close to the river bank opened, and saw hundreds of civilian warriors armed with bamboo spears, single swords and even iron pitchforks filing out.
The combat effectiveness of these civilian warriors to attack the enemy independently was very weak. However, after the current group of bandits were defeated by Lin Fuqin's soldiers, they helped block the intersection from behind, captured the fleeing bandits, and quickly controlled the situation at the river mouth, but they could make up for Lin Fu's manpower.
The lack of this allowed the 400 soldiers Lin Fuqin led ashore to concentrate on attacking the bandits who were stubbornly resisting or fleeing in groups. There were also many brave people who climbed up the earthen walls surrounding the houses, holding hunting bows, and shot guns at the nearby earthen walls.
Bandits in the alley.
In this way, Lin Fu completely gained the numerical advantage over the bandits who came ashore. She Feihu and the others hid under the river bank and could only see the situation near the river bank. Those bandits who fled to the river bank saw their retreat blocked.
Except for a few people who resolutely jumped into the water to escape, most of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Ren Minyong tied them up with ropes.
Due to the current, most of the fleeing pirate ships fled to the lower reaches of Jiang'an Pier and to the waters east of the river mouth. Dozens of civilians jumped on the fast-oared warships docked at Jiang'an Pier and began to search for them.
Bandits who fell into the water.
Although he couldn't see the situation inside Hekou, but seeing that Min Yong came out to clean up the battle, She Feihu knew that Lin Fu had controlled the situation in Hekou.
************
She Feihu and his family were not the only ones observing the battle at the mouth of the river in secret. In the vast water northwest of Prison Island, a solitary boat drifted with the waves. Yuan Jinsheng, dressed as a fisherman, sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the situation at the mouth of the river.
The middle-aged man behind him said: "Father, how long do you think it will be before Gu Wuchen's imperial edict to be promoted to Inspector will be sent to Jiangning?"
The middle-aged man looked at the fire burning in the direction of the river mouth, frowned slightly and said nothing.
Fan Ding, the leader of the feudal lord who was accompanying him, said: "It probably depends on how long Jia Pengyu will wait after this incident before he is willing to resign."
"I'm afraid it's not Jia Pengyu's fault," the middle-aged man said slowly, "I'm afraid that the Chu Party will take the opportunity to persuade the Holy One to let Gu Wuchen be the governor of the Hongzepu war..."
Once Gu Wuchen is given the title of governor of the war, it actually gives Gu Wuchen the privilege of controlling the Xuanfu Department and the Admiral's Office in certain aspects in the name of inspector.
Governor Li initially served as the deputy envoy of Jiangxi Province to oversee Jiangxi County's war against East Fujian, and then as an envoy to oversee the military and civil affairs of East Fujian County. Fortunately, the Western Qin Party was in decline in the DPRK, and Chen Xinbo's position was in danger.
Li Zhuo was also quite taboo, so Li Zhuo let the Chu party rush to Jiangning to serve as the minister of the Jiangning Ministry of War and the garrison of Jiangning.
In any case, the local forces in Jiangning and Jiangdong County never want Gu Wuchen to become a Li Zhuo-style figure with monopoly power.
"I'm afraid Gu Wuchen's qualifications are slightly insufficient," Yuan Jinsheng said, "but as a precaution, it's best to ask the Holy One to send other officials from the Chu Party to Jiangning to supervise the war. By then, we might see strife within the Chu Party.
"
"Young Master, this plan is feasible." Fan Ding said.
"It depends on the situation. Lin Fu just controlled the situation at the mouth of the river, so he may not be able to really seize the leverage of the Qu family to restrict Chen Xiyan." said the middle-aged man.
"We'd better go back first," Fan Ding said. "We can't see the specific situation in the river mouth anymore. We'd better wait until the spy comes back tomorrow to report."
Fan Ding was also secretly sweating. When Lin Fu kidnapped Fan Zhimei as a threat to redeem Xiaoman's life, he also got really angry. However, when the Dongshi incident happened, Gu Wuchen used this to completely suppress Jiangning Prefecture Yin Wang Xueshan.
, Fan Ding had no choice but to hold back. At this time, it seemed that no one in Jiangning could erase Lin Fu from Jiangning without leaving traces. Fan Ding thought that if he couldn't help but attack Hekou, his plan might not be as good as Qu.
A more thoughtful home.
*****************
After the bandits attacked the river mouth from the riverside dock, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenwan and his daughter had been squatting on the ridge of the bamboo hall to watch the situation. Lin Fu took advantage of the bandits to cross the river and led his soldiers to take the back route by boat to defeat the bandits crowded at the wharf.
, and watched Lin Fu lead his troops to forcibly capture the pier. After hundreds of bandits gathered in the warehouse behind the pier and were defeated, the more than 400 soldiers who landed from the Jiang'an Pier separated into two groups of spearheads and charged along the north-south long streets and back streets.
.
There are more than 60 leading soldiers on each route, including more than ten armored men with Mo swords and swords, more than ten warriors with strange spears, nearly twenty sword and shield bearers, and nearly twenty archers, staggering and attacking each other. The leader
One is Zhou Pu wearing a red helmet and blue armor holding a sword, and the other is Ao Canghai wearing a red helmet and blue armor holding a double halberd.
Observe carefully, there seems to be a group of five or six soldiers in these two groups, including one Mo Dao, one Ji Dao warrior, one person holding a strange spear, two sword and shield hands, and one archer. If the current enemy is more determined to resist,
The weird spear that was more than ten feet long came forward to stab, the swordsmen and shieldmen guarded the left and right, the Mo Dao and the sword warriors advanced bravely behind the weird spear. The archers came from the back to kill the bandits sitting on the wall. If there were any lone enemies who infiltrated into the formation,
, the sword-shielders and the archers used single swords to deal with them, and they cooperated with each other very efficiently. The bandits were unable to organize effective resistance and counterattacks. The two leading soldiers quickly destroyed the north-south long streets and back streets.
The bandits who came ashore to attack the river mouth were divided into several groups and fought independently. They did not capture any favorable defensive buildings. Apart from fleeing for their lives, they no longer had the ability to organize a counterattack or resistance.
The remaining two hundred soldiers headed towards the Lin family's new house. Along the way, all the bandits abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the ground. If they resisted even a little, they were mercilessly killed. The civilian soldiers who followed later tied up the bandits who had discarded their weapons.
Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenwan and their daughter always kept their hearts in mind, feeling that time passed very quickly. From the time when the bandits came ashore to attack the river mouth, and Lin Fu blocked the way to the moment when the situation in the river mouth was completely controlled, it seemed like a blink of an eye, but in fact it only passed.
Less than an hour.
During this hour, especially the second half of the hour, Lin Fu was forced to take a retreat, and the bandits who came ashore had not yet had time to capture any important building at the mouth of the river.
The Lin family's new house was quite close to the Zhutang. Sun Wenwan could clearly see Lin Fu wearing scale armor. Surrounded by soldiers, he climbed up the steps to observe the situation at the river mouth. He stretched out his left arm and asked someone to bandage his left arm.
Wound.
At this time, Lin Fu was really majestic and powerful. When his eyes looked here, Sun Wenwan's heart jumped inexplicably. Although she knew that she was in a dark place and Lin Fu might not be able to see it, she still
He couldn't help but turned his head. His father's pretending to be ill made it impossible for Xihe Hui and Lin Fu to restore their previous relationship, but who would have thought that Lin Fu could set such a big trap for the Qu family to jump in with his eyes closed?
The door of the Lin family's new house was also opened at this time. Fu Qinghe, Zhao Qingshan and others who were guarding the new house came out to join Lin Fu. Zhao Qingshan led hundreds of Lin Jiayong who had been guarding the new house for nearly an hour to assist the soldiers in attacking the people in the river mouth.
Remnant bandits.
The opening for the bandits to escape into Chaotiandang has been completely blocked. Even if they jump from Gaoya, there are still people outside the Jiang'an Pier who are riding boats to catch the escaped pirates. The west side is blocked by surrounding houses, and the east side is the Jinchuan River.
Many bandits broke through the southern fence and fled south.
Sun Jingxuan knew that he was ashamed of Lin Fu for pretending to be ill, but he finally did not escape to Longzangpu in the south of the city tonight, which was considered to be an explanation to Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe.
Sun Jingxuan traveled around the world to maintain the livelihood of more than 2,000 members, so he had to be thick-skinned. He was about to climb down from the roof to find Lin Fu shamelessly.
Projected onto the river embankment pier, Sun Jingxuan looked back and saw three fast paddle boats that had just docked. Quyang Town Inspection Department Inspector Qu Wuming stood at the bow of the boat.
Sun Jingxuan was greatly surprised. Could it be that the Qu family didn't know at this time that the disastrous defeat of the bandits who attacked Hekou was irreversible, so they still wanted to plunge in?
At the river pier, there was a group of advanced soldiers led by Ao Canghai. They pinned Qu Wuyang and others on the river pier and prevented them from getting to the river. They saw Lin Fu put on his helmet again and led more than a hundred soldiers to the river pier.
Suspense arose in Sun Jingxuan's heart again. After all, Qu Wuming was leading the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Department. He could claim to have seen an attack at the mouth of the river and lead his troops to come to the rescue. What would Lin Fu do?
