Many defeated bandits broke through the fence at the mouth of the river and fled south. The leading soldiers led by Zhou Pu chased them along the river embankment, leaving the bandits with no time to abandon their helmets and armor and flee for their lives, making it impossible to assemble effectively.
The Poyang Lake water bandits who attacked the Jiyunshe fleet at the mouth of the Yuxi River were bribed by people sent by the Qu family. It was only after confirming that the two hundred armed guards accompanying the ship did not cheat Lin Fu that the Qu family brazenly sent the bandits to attack the river mouth.
.People have blind spots in their thinking. Qu Wuming and others never thought that Gu Wuchen, who was supervising the war in Dongyang, would hand over his escort team to Lin Fu for mobilization. How could they have imagined that even if the Jiyunshe fleet heading to Dongyang always had two
With hundreds of elite escorts, Lin Fu still sneaked back to the mouth of the river with more than 400 elite soldiers?
No one reported the news, so Qu Wuming saw countless figures fleeing hastily in the dark night. Even if there were a few torches occasionally, they could not illuminate a large area. Qu Wuming thought that the group of bandits finally succeeded in attacking the river mouth, and the fields were covered with forest.
The refugees who arrived at the mouth of the river were fleeing in a hurry.
Although the news spread by the Qu family that the Lin family withdrew from Shanglin and brought 400,000 taels of silver to the mouth of the river was an exaggeration, Qu Wu knew that the Lin family must have a lot of silver hidden in the mouth of the river, and he was worried that the soup would be shared by the bandits.
He was clean and had nothing to do with the Qu family. He energetically urged the oarsmen to maneuver the boat as hard as they could and rush straight to the mouth of the river.
The reconnaissance ability at night is limited. In order to keep the secret strictly confidential, Qu Wuming hid his troops along the way. Only a few people knew about the Qu family's cronies who had infiltrated the bandits.
After Lin Fu attacked the bandits and fought back to the mouth of the river, many of the Qu family's cronies who were hiding among the bandits immediately left the battlefield and fled south when they saw something was wrong. There were also a few people who came along the river embankment to give Qu Wuming a message. It was just a crow.
Wu Qi led the secret sentry to secretly monitor the Qu family and their horses. When he saw Qu Wuming leading his people on a boat to the mouth of the river, he led his people along the river bank to intercept and kill the people who had tipped off Qu Wuming.
When Qu Wuming truly realized that it was not the refugees at the mouth of the river who were defeated but the bandits who attacked the mouth of the river but were defeated, he led his troops to take a boat from the Jinchuan River to the mouth of the river. It was only three miles away from the river embankment pier, and Zhou
The leading soldiers led by Pu who were chasing the remnants of the bandits along the river embankment ran into them head on.
At this time, Qu Wuming could no longer turn the boat back to Quyang Town, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to sail the boat to the river mouth in the name of "when the river mouth is attacked, lead the crowd to rescue". Besides, there were members of the Qu family among the group of bandits who attacked the river mouth.
Confidant, Qu Wuming cannot let too many lives fall into Lin Fu's hands.
If Lin Fu only captured one or two people, which would be detrimental to the Qu family, the Qu family could completely deny it; if Lin Fu captured eight of ten people, it would be troublesome for the Qu family to deny it.
Zhou Pu saw Qu Wuming commanding the three fast paddle boats to continue heading north. He ignored them. There was no force that could threaten them at the mouth of the river. With Lin Fu sitting at the mouth of the river, he didn't have to worry about Qu Wuming continuing to get into the trap. He didn't
Stopping at the river embankment, he led his troops to continue southward to pursue the fleeing bandits.
While Qu Wuming bravely headed north, he sent people to sneak back to Quyang Town from the West Bank to report the news, but he did not know that Wu Qi had also arranged four or five secret sentries on the West Bank to intercept and kill the people who reported the information.
Qu Wuming knew that a shocking change occurred at the mouth of the river that the Qu family had not expected. He still had no idea that Lin Fu personally led 400 elite soldiers to sneak back to the mouth of the river. It was not until he docked at the river embankment that he came to rescue, but was suppressed by the crowd led by Ao Canghai.
After being unable to get to the pier, when Lin Fu appeared on the river embankment wearing military armor, Qu Wuming realized that the Qu family had been plotting to attack the river mouth for many days and that they had fallen into his trap.
Seeing Zhao Hu leading his new soldiers in four armed vehicles and boats to slowly surround him from the mouth of the river, Qu Wuming suppressed his panic, looked at Lin Fu's red-helmeted face with a stern expression, and forced a smile:
"It is said that Mr. Lin is escorting supplies to Dongyang to help Mr. Gu in the war. If I had known that Mr. Lin was confident and stationed at the mouth of the river, I wouldn't have to rush so many people to rescue him."
"Are you..." Lin Fu narrowed his eyes at Qu Wuyang and asked uncertainly.
Seeing Lin Fu's hesitation, Qu Wuyang felt a little calmer. He also knew that the Qu family was still a distinguished family and a local leader in Jiangning. It was normal for Lin Fu to be wary of the Qu family. Could it be that Lin Fu still dared to kill him at the mouth of the river?
Were all the officers and soldiers behind him unable to be massacred? Qu Wuming took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "I am still inspecting Qu Yang in Qu Yang. When I saw an attack at the mouth of the river, I led the inspection archers to come to the rescue..."
"You are talking nonsense. You are trying to trick me like a three-year-old child!" Lin Fu grabbed a spear from behind and thrust it toward Qu Wuming's chest. "Quyang's inspection chief has a fixed number of ninety sword archers. Look behind you.
how many people?"
Qu Wuming looked at the spear that had already pierced half of his chest. He did not expect that Lin Fu would suddenly strike and pointed at Lin Fu: "You, you..." He was wearing fine armor, but he couldn't stop Lin Fu from being condescending.
Throwing a spear from close range, he still didn't believe that Lin Fu dared to kill him. He stared at Lin Fu and only uttered two words before he fell to the ground and expired.
Ao Canghai and all the soldiers did not need Lin Fu's orders, they were like tigers killing each other off the dock.
The sword archers who were in charge of Quyang's inspection were actually private soldiers of the Qu family. Half of the two hundred people got off the boat and the other half were on the boat. At this time, they could not form a formation. They saw a group of bandits being killed and defeated along the way, and they were already shocked.
Cold, but insisted on following Qu Wuming deep into the tiger's den. When he saw Qu Wuming saying a few words, Lin Fu threw a spear into his chest and killed him. Of course, he knew that his identity as an officer and soldier could no longer provide them with life support. As Qu Wuming's
After the close followers were defeated by Ao Canghai and others, the others lost the will to fight and turned around to escape.
The private soldiers who disembarked from the Qu family either fled southward from the river beach, or turned around and fled into the river and swam desperately to the other side to escape. The people on the boat were also in a panic. They saw four armed vehicles and boats led by Zhao Hu blocking the mouth of the river.
The boat was less than a hundred steps away, and they had no intention of resisting. They turned the bow of the boat and fled south together. In the panic, the two boats collided with each other, and at that moment more than ten people were thrown into the river...
**********
Sun Jingxuan sat on the roof and saw clearly the scene of Qu Wuming's murder on the river pier.
Although it was already the coolest dawn of the day and the summer night was hot, it was still very sultry at this time, but Sun Jing felt a chill running down his spine.
Although all the blame can be shifted to the chaos and darkness that cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy afterwards, and Qu Wuming definitely had bad intentions when he led the crowd, killing Qu Wuming on the spot and chasing down the Quyang inspection officers and soldiers as thieves and bandits still requires extraordinary efforts.
His courage and determination.
The Qu family is also a family of distinguished people. Although Qu Wuming's official position is small, Qu Yang's inspection is a minor official from the eighth rank, but his Wu San rank is from the sixth rank Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant. Even though his behavior is suspicious, it is so unclear.
The unknown person was killed by Lin Fu indiscriminately at the mouth of the river. It was not a trivial matter that could be easily fooled.
Sun Jingxuan sighed loudly: Lin Fu didn't know how to retreat when things were good, and he didn't know the way to advance or retreat. Hekou counterattacked the bandits and captured a large number of prisoners. It was already a great victory. The Qu family couldn't clean their butts no matter how hard they washed, so why bother to kill Qu Wuming?
Killed on the spot? At this time, the officers and soldiers of Quyang's patrol were pursued and killed, which gave the Qu family an excuse to bite back.
Gu Wuchen was not in Jiangning, so Lin Fu wasn't afraid that some official who didn't like him would first put him in jail and torture him to death for "indiscriminate murder"?
Sun Jingxuan hesitated again at this time, wondering if he should completely draw a clear line with Lin Fu.
Lin Fu was full of murderous intent, and his green armor was soaked with blood. Who would have thought that one of his civil servants would rush to kill like a general tonight, taking the lead several times?
Sun Wenwan's eyebrows condensed as she watched Ao Canghai lead the crowd to pursue the Qu family's escaping private soldiers from the riverbank. Lin Fu and dozens of escort soldiers boarded two armed vehicles and boats and pursued the three ships of the Qu family's escape south through the waterway.
Nearly two hundred soldiers gathered in front of the Lin family's new house, led by a middle-aged general, also came out of the south gate of the fence to pursue the remaining bandits. It was strange that there were several middle-aged men among the two hundred soldiers.
At the mouth of the river, except for the more than 60 Linjiayuan warriors led by Zhao Qinghe and the 20 armed guards led by Fu Qinghe, there were only two armed vehicles and ships carrying more than 60 newly recruited soldiers parked at the river embankment for defense; two hundred
Yu Minyong is cleaning up fish that have slipped through the net along the street.
Although the bandit ships that were defeated and scattered in Chaotiandang still have considerable strength when assembled, they have been defeated tonight. Even if they gather downstream of Chaotiandang, even if they know that the defense of the river mouth is very empty at this time, they will not dare to attack.
.
Sun Wenwan also felt that the middle-aged men surrounded by two hundred warriors who attacked from the south gate of the fence looked suspicious. At this time, a glass lamp was shining on the south gate. Sun Wenwan pointed over and asked his father: "Who are those people?"
?”
"It's him!" Sun Jingxuan was shocked by Lin Fu's killing of Wu Quming on the spot. He didn't look at the Lin family's new house. He turned back to look at the new house of the Lin family. He was shocked and took a breath and said, "No wonder Lin Fu dared to kill Qu Ming."
Wu Ming, tonight is completely a big trap set by Gu Wuchen for the Qu family. That is Ma Ruitai, the censor of Zuoqiandu who was sent by the imperial court to Jiangning to supervise Xia Cao. The other person should be Gu Wuchen. Haha, who would have expected that Gu Wuchen would actually do it for
What happened tonight was that I made a special trip from Dongyang to sneak back to the mouth of the river. No wonder Lin Fu was able to mobilize so many people..."
Sun Jingxuan was on behalf of the Dongyang Mansion to manage Xia Cao. He paid a visit to Ma Ruitai, the imperial censor of Zuoqiandu who came to Jiangning to supervise the management of Xia Cao. Although he had not had the opportunity to meet Gu Wuchen, he could already guess that the person working with Ma Ruitai was Gu Wuchen. There was another person he also knew.
That person was Zhao Qinmin, Wang Xueshan's former staff member, who had now switched to Gu Wuchen.
Gu Wuchen and Ma Ruitai were responsible for all the consequences. Why else would Lin Fu not dare to kill someone?
At this time, people and horses were dispatched from Donghua Gate. Although they were far away, in the dark night, the people holding torches high were walking out of the city gate. Sun Jingxuan and his daughter could still see clearly when they were standing on the roof. It should be that the Dongcheng Wei Ma infantry was dispatched. Although Dongcheng
The horse infantry of Wei's two battalions had very poor combat effectiveness, but when the bandits were completely routed by Lin Fu and fled, these horse infantry were more than capable of hunting down the remnants of the bandits.
"Dad, look, they are going to drive the remnant bandits to Quyang Town..." Sun Wenwan saw that the timing of the cavalry and infantry dispatch was just right. Maybe Zhang Yubo or Liu Xilin had been guarding the Donghua Gate Tower to watch the situation at the mouth of the river. Maybe the situation at the mouth of the river was
Someone was specially sent here to deliver the message.
A large area of land south of the river mouth is sandwiched between the east city wall of Jiangning and the Jinchuan River. To the south is Moling Lake. Only a small gap at the corner of Moling Lake and the southeast city wall can pass through to the south of the city. The Dongcheng Weima infantry was dispatched in time, just in time to seal off the remaining bandits.
On the way to the south of the city, if the bandits wanted to escape the siege before dawn, they could only escape from the Jiuqiao Urn or jump over the river to Quyang Town, where the Qu family was located.
Gu Wuchen, Lin Fu and the others are going to "do nothing and never stop"!
