Under the setting sun, Lin Fu sat on the stone. He didn't care about cherishing the knife, and directly put the tip of the knife into the ground. He didn't look at the pirates forming a formation closer, and looked at the lake in the distance.
Under the setting sun, Jiyang Lake changes into charming colors, with green weeping willows interspersed with elm poplars and other miscellaneous trees, log-colored ships swaying in the golden waves, and the crimson sunset reflected on the water farther away, lightly enveloping the sea.
There was a layer of mist, and the heading rice fields also glowed with a light golden color. If it weren't for the dazzling black flow of solidified blood nearby, this mountain and river would be really beautiful.
The green armor worn by Lin Fu could no longer see its original green color, and was covered with dull blood. The knife was a good knife, and the spine of the knife was not deformed at all, but the blade was stretched many times. Taking advantage of the break in the fierce battle, Lin
Fu took out the boning knife from his waist and cut off the dark red fine linen rope that was soaked in blood from the long handle of the knife. There was no extra fine linen rope at hand, so he cut it off.
The hem of the cut cloth shirt under the placket was carefully torn into long strips of cloth and entangled.
"It must be wrapped tightly, otherwise the handle of the knife will be soaked in blood and slip on your hands," Lin Fu interrupted while wrapping the cloth strips with the soldiers sitting around him, "Remember you said that you have a partner but not yet married, right? Kill a few pirates.
Now, can you save enough reward money to go back to your hometown and marry a wife?"
"I killed three, and I have to kill two more..." The young man with a childish face next to him shyly answered Lin Fu's question. He was nervous to speak in front of Lin Fu. It took a lot of effort to say these two words, and he felt strange.
He was so excited that many others came closer eager to listen to what they had to say.
"It's not bad to kill three," Lin Fu said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come over for a drink when you get married, so I'll give you two heads as a gift. I also killed a lot," he told the person next to him who recorded military achievements.
The scribe said, "Cross out two heads from my name and add..."
The young man was nervous and excited at the same time, and he had an honest and dull temperament. He didn't know what to say. The man sitting in the mud next to him holding his weapon enviously beat his shoulder and said: "Bitch/mother, I asked you to pick it up, sir."
It’s so cheap, why don’t you kowtow to the Lord?”
"What are you kowtowing for? When the pirates are driven back, I will give you a big salute. All the elders in Jiyang should give you a big salute..." Lin Fu stopped the kneeling young man from kowtowing.
At first, the Donghai bandits wanted to eliminate the garrison led by Lin Fu who had moved outside the city. After their attempt was thwarted, the two sides robbed the key points of the West Stone Bridge. The Donghai bandits wanted to confine the garrison outside the city to the North Gate area, or from the
The North Gate area was expelled. In order to gain the strategic initiative, Lin Fu must not let the key points of entering the North Gate area be controlled by the Donghai pirates. In the past four days, there were countless battles for the West Stone Bridge. What was gained was lost, and what was lost was regained. In four days, there were countless battles for the West Stone Bridge.
After a bloody battle, less than one-third of the guards around Lin Fu were left, and the cavalry suffered even more heavy casualties. The corpses of the dead and the seriously injured were dragged back to the city in hanging baskets, and they continued to fight despite being hit by several arrows.
Yang Pu, who was exhausted, also asked Lin Fu to tie himself to a hanging basket and pull him back to the city to recover from his injuries. Ao Canghai led more than ten elite soldiers to still stick to Lin Fu's side. No one was left without wounds or injuries.
There were less than a hundred Jiqi fighting outside the city, and most of the horses were lost. However, Lin Fu was surrounded by more Jiyang defenders who volunteered to fight outside the city and civilian warriors recruited in the city.
In three days, Lin Fu not only prevented the Donghai bandits, who were several times his own, from organizing a direct offensive against Jiyang County, but also prevented the Donghai bandits from establishing a solid defense at the strategic point of Xishiqiao.
thing.
***************
She Feixiong's face was ashen, and his expression was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water if he squeezed it. The scabbard was about to burst due to his tight grip. His pair of eagle-like sharp but bloodshot eyes stared at Xishiqiao and Xishiqiao fiercely.
The area in the middle of the moat bridge at the north gate of Jiyang City.
Jiyang was defeated in the first battle and lost more than 300 elite troops. She Feixiong could explain that the bold deployment of the Jiyang defenders was far beyond anyone's expectations. However, the subsequent bitter battle made him understand what rock will is, which is to fight with others.
Li Zhuo's Chen Zhihu tribe fought with elite troops, and She Fei Xiong did not find the bones so difficult to chew.
The defenders standing guard in the area outside Jiyang City were sitting or lying down at this time. Except for the sentry guards, there were not many people behind the wooden fence who had the strength to behave in a straight and simple way.
They stood there with their weapons, the blood flowing on the ground was like solidified pain. However, he and his side launched an attack, and these exhausted defenders who almost looked like they would fall at any time were all as energetic as when gods and ghosts came to their bodies.
From a distance of more than 300 steps, She Feixiong could see a young man sitting on a knee-high lake stone among the defenders. He was Lin Fu, the same Lin Fu Qin Zitan had told him countless times.
, perhaps as Qin Zitan said, Xisha Island should be the priority target. Next to the lake rocks, there is a flagpole more than three feet high. The flagpole is cut in two and tied together with a rope. "
The banner of "According to the Inspection Commission, Sibing, preparing roads, raising food, and sending forests" was fluttering in the wind, and only the five words "Sibing, preparing soldiers, preparing roads, raising grains, and sending forests" could be seen in full.
She Feixiong looked around. From a distance of three hundred steps, he could clearly see that the armor on Lin Fu's body had changed from the original cyan to black. Under the sunlight, it reflected a purple-red halo. It was time to be dyed.
How many Donghai pirates and his own blood?
The lake stone seemed to be the Dinghai Divine Stone for the defenders outside Jiyang City. When his offensive pushed the defenders closer to the lake stone, Lin Fu would personally pick up the sword and fight. Any offensive force would immediately collapse.
, as if the rock smashed the overcoming waves to pieces.
At first, She Feixiong offered a reward of one hundred taels of official silver for the head of Lin Fu and other generals who were defending outside Jiyang City. There were countless bandits from the East China Sea vying for the first place. At this time, the reward for killing Lin Fu in a single battlefield was already
With the price reaching a thousand taels of official silver, not many people in Donghai Kou Shisan’s family were still eager to give it a try.
After defeating the main force of the Ninghai Navy in the Battle of Taihu Beibin, the thirteen East China Sea bandits led by She Feixiong to attack Jiyang still had a full combat strength of more than 3,000 people. Even if the Jiyang City defenders added Gu Wuchen's escort
The team is far from more than a thousand people.
Whether it is capturing Jiyang City, capturing or killing big bosses such as Gu Wuchen, Chen Xiyan, or surrounding Jiyang City and defeating the hastily arriving reinforcements from Pingjiang Prefecture, the situation in Jiangdong County can be completely destroyed.
Under such a situation, She Fei Xiong could be said to have every advantage in launching the Jiyang War. Who would have thought that the Ji Yang garrison led by Lin Fuqin and stationed outside the city would be so difficult to attack? She Fei Xiong even blocked the garrison's cavalry.
He couldn't even go in and out of the West Stone Bridge, and he couldn't divide his troops to loot the countryside of Jiyang, let alone divide his troops to attack the reinforcements coming from elsewhere.
Thirteen Donghai bandits from the alliance took turns to fight. Perhaps the other Donghai bandits still wanted to preserve their strength and were unwilling to fight to the death. However, half of the troops of the three Donghai bandits directly controlled by the She family were brought directly from Jin'an by She Feixiong.
All the old pawns, the fierce offensive they launched collapsed, and the casualties were extremely heavy. Even the red-eyed She Feixiong was heartbroken.
She Feixiong saw with his own eyes that the many waves of offensives he organized had dealt heavy blows and casualties to the Jiyang garrison led by Lin Fuqin and stationed outside the city. But what surprised him most was that in the past two months, they had become so weak that
Sheep, the soldiers and civilians of Pingjiang Prefecture, who were allowed to be wantonly destroyed and looted by the Donghai bandits, were inspired by the deadly battle of the defenders outside the city to fight to the death.
In the past four days, no matter how fierce and difficult the battle was, there were constant defenders or civilian warriors coming out of the city to replenish Lin Fu's banner and join the ranks of the defenders outside the city, so that Lin Fu's men could rise up.
During the battle, the number of soldiers who forgot their lives and died was never less than 300.
"Master Harrier, it's time to retreat," She Feixiong's confidants call him "Master Harrier" in front of outsiders. He is the majestic East China Sea Harrier Yuan Tingdong in the East China Sea.
The city will enter the Donglai River; Jiangning Water Camp also has forty-five ships approaching Baisha County. It only takes half a day to reach the mouth of the Donglai River. The Pingjiang Prefecture garrison and the nearby Xiangyong have gathered on a large scale. If they don't retreat, it will be too late.
Things have changed..."
Although She Feixiong has become popular, his rationality is still there, but he is unwilling to do so!
*************
"Lord Gu, Chen Shangshu, Magistrate Meng, the pirates are about to retreat..." Jiyang County Lieutenant Yao Gu rushed into the city gate building, tripped on the threshold and almost fell. The knife in his hand fell out and almost hit Chen Xiyan.
He didn't care to startle Chen Xiyan. He was surprised and hesitant, and said uncertainly, "The pirates look like they are about to retreat."
Gu Wuchen, Chen Xiyan, and Meng Xinshi all hurriedly walked out, holding on to the female wall at the top of the city and looking over. Although there were still large groups of pirates gathering on the positions outside the river beach, the pirate ships no longer anchored along the river, and there were ships one after another.
Heading to the mouth of the lake where Jiyang Lake connects with the Donglai River, even the Donghai bandits who were still gathering at the position outside the river began to set up more obstacles to prevent them from being attacked by the defenders when they retreated from the river beach and boarded the boats.
At this time, the guards at the other three gates also sent people to report that the Donghai bandits who had blocked the other three gates began to retreat. The Donghai bandits were about to retreat.
The county lieutenant asked: "Do you want to go out of the city to pursue us?"
"You can't take advantage of them, Mr. Gu. You can order Mr. Lin to lead the garrison outside the city to entangle the Donghai pirates so that they can't board the ship smoothly," Meng Xinshi, the magistrate of Jiyang County, said, "Reinforcements from other counties in Pingjiang Prefecture have already been assembled. If we need more
You can rush over to help in half a day..."
"Meng Zhixian, look at how many of the defenders below the city have the strength to stand up and pursue the enemy?" Yang Pu has never taken the initiative to interfere with Gu Wuchen's decision-making, but now he questioned Meng Xin politely before Gu Wuchen expressed his stance.
Shi, regardless of whether the enemy was prepared for a counterattack when retreating, Lin Fu and the defenders who had moved outside the city had suffered huge casualties. Lin Fu's injuries were also extremely serious. Whether he could stand up was still a question.
The problem is, asking them to forcibly hold back the East China Sea bandits and wait for reinforcements to arrive to destroy these East China Sea bandits is not necessarily too cruel, nor is it too greedy for success.
