He waved his hands desperately and luckily grabbed a cable, but then the ship tilted more and more sharply. Jiang Zhengyang screamed in horror. He saw that the deck and the lake were almost vertical. If he held on to the cable tightly, he would probably be killed by this.
The ship was buckled underwater. He suddenly let go of the cable and screamed as he fell into the cold lake water. The heavy armor took him down to the water. Jiang Zhengyang tried his best to pull off the armor, but
His body was still sinking, and he waved his hands helplessly. Fortunately, he grabbed a log and climbed up panting. He saw that the ship he had just been on was slowly sinking into the lake. He
There were soldiers screaming for help everywhere around him.
Not far away, a small boat passed in front of him. A man on the small boat stood holding a knife, but it was Ruan Jingwu, the second master of Heishui Village.
Jiang Zhengyang seemed to have seen a savior, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Master Ruan, save me..."
Ruan Jingwu heard Jiang Zhengyang's voice, but he did not turn around. His subordinates said: "The second boss is Mr. Jiang!"
Ruan Jingwu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry about him, just let that stupid pig fend for itself!" If Jiang Zhengyang hadn't insisted on all the ships leaving together, he wouldn't be in this situation now. Jiang Zhengyang seems smart, but in fact he is a fool, Ruan Jingwu
I believe that this well-trained fleet must have followed Jiang Zhengyang's team and has been lying in wait here, just waiting for this opportunity to catch them all.
Ruan Jingwu looked at the burning lake. He didn't feel sorry for the one hundred thousand stones of food brought by Jiang Zhengyang. What made him feel sad was the five hundred ships. In order to transport the food, their Blackwater Village dispatched almost all the ships.
In order to reassure Jiang Zhengyang, Xingkong did not send too many naval troops to accompany him. However, this decision led to the annihilation of their fleet.
Jiang Zhengyang hugged the piece of driftwood and looked at the boat going away with almost despair. Just now he was excited about his future ambitions, but in an instant he had fallen into the abyss of eternal destruction. The one hundred thousand he had earned through hard work
Shi Liang was just gone. The most ridiculous thing was that until now, he didn't even know who launched this attack on him.
A hint of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky. An increasingly clear distinction appeared between the water and the sky. Dawn arrived in blood. Under the command of Li Yongfu, the fleet began to patrol the scene, shooting the surviving soldiers.
Hu Xiaotian was sitting leisurely on the deck drinking fragrant tea. He turned his back to the side where the war was still going on, and looked intently at the east where dawn arrived first. The sky was about to break, and Long Xuanen would be blamed for his bad judgment.
But it is a bitter pill to swallow. As for Jiang Zhengyang, he is just a clown. His vision and structure are really poor.
Li Yongfu excitedly came to Hu Xiaotian to report to him the latest battle situation. The five hundred grain transport ships in Heishui Village were wiped out by them, and no one was spared. Except for a few water thieves who escaped in lifeboats, most of the enemy troops were killed.
They were already buried in the cold lake water. The other party's general, Jiang Zhengyang, was very lucky and had just been captured by them.
Li Yongfu said: "Lord, what should Jiang Zhengyang do?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at the eastern sky. A rising sun was slowly rising between the sky and the water, making the sky and the lake appear as red as blood. Hu Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said softly: "Bring him back to Wuxing County, I want to ask him clearly.
and Xingzhou’s plan.”
"yes!"
Jiang Zhengyang still had 20,000 troops left in Qinglong Bay. Zu Da was responsible for staying behind. They had already noticed the fire on the lake, but because the distance was too far, they didn't know what happened. They vaguely guessed that it might have happened.
They were fighting, but they didn’t know who the two sides were, how the battle was going, and whether they had any boats available. They could only stay in Qinglong Bay in a daze. It was not until dawn that the escaped soldiers returned to Qinglong Bay in a lifeboat and cried.
Being attacked.
Zu Da just realized that it was over. The coach Jiang Zhengyang did not know whether he was alive or dead. Zu Da had become the backbone of more than 20,000 people, but the food they had left was really limited. At most, they could only sustain one day's food. Without food, they went to Kangxi.
It's a dead end. If you go to join the Blackwater Gang, I'm afraid they won't accept it. It won't be long before the news about Jiang Zhengyang's self-stealing will be spread all over the world, and they and others will be implicated.
Zuda thought about it and led his troops to Baiquan City first. At least they would have a place to stay. He led 20,000 soldiers to Baiquan City, only to find that the city gate was closed and the suspension bridge hung high. Zuda walked towards the city wall.
He shouted to open the door, but he didn't expect Zuo Xingjian to have returned to Baiquan City in advance. When he saw Zu Da and his people coming, they not only refused to open the door, but ordered to fire arrows to drive them away.
Zuda had no choice but to give up his plan to enter Baiquan City. The only possibility left now was to return to Yunyang. However, even if he traveled from Baiquan City to Yunyang, it would take three days and three nights, even if he traveled day and night. They had no choice but to return to Yunyang.
They didn't have much food and grass, so they couldn't support them there. Besides, the soldiers under their command suddenly lost a hundred thousand shi of food. They fell from the peak of excitement to the bottom in an instant, and each of them became extremely depressed. They all knew that the future was slim, even if they arrived in Yun
Yang, will inevitably be pursued by the imperial court, but in the current situation, they have no way to retreat.
The water war that took place in Yunze did not cause much trouble. Of course, Hu Xiaotian's side would not take the initiative to publicize it. The gang of water thieves in Heishui Village suffered a big loss, and they could not determine where the seventy warships came from.
After this battle, Ma Xingkong's vitality was severely damaged. Instead of getting a share of the 100,000 stones of food, he lost most of the ships. Ma Xingkong had no choice but to huddle in Bixin Mountain to recuperate in order to regain his vitality.
I'm afraid it will take several years.
As for Zuo Xingjian, he immediately reported it to the court after returning to Baiquan City. In order to clear himself up, of course he would not say that he and Jiang Zhengyang were colluding with each other, and put all the responsibilities on Jiang Zhengyang. He also said that Jiang Zhengyang revolted when he saw the grain, and committed theft while guarding.
, the water thieves who colluded with the water thieves in Yunze and intended to take food to Bixin Mountain to defect to Heishui Village. How did they expect that the water thieves in Heishui Village wanted to steal the food for themselves, so they set a trap in Yunze and captured those who boarded the ship.
The people were caught in one swoop and the food was taken away.
Zuo Xingjian believed that Jiang Zhengyang must die without any doubt. Naturally, there was no evidence to prove his death. And Jiang Zhengyang's remaining more than 20,000 remnants were like bereaved dogs. They were in panic all day long. If they caused such a big disaster, they would be in a situation where everyone was shouting for beatings. Although Zuo Xingjian
He brought thousands of his men to greet Jiang Zhengyang, but no one knew that he had reached an agreement with Jiang Zhengyang. It was also his duty to help escort the transportation team. Not only was he not guilty, but he had merit. Of course, this guy didn't dare to take credit now. If
I'm lucky to be able to put aside the relationship and get through this difficult time.
Jiang Zhengyang's grain transport team disappeared overnight. Zu Dacheng led the remnant of 20,000 troops heading north along the Wangchun River. Although the snow stopped, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. These soldiers all knew what happened.
In the past, the reason why I was willing to follow Jiang Zhengyang was not because it could fill his stomach. Now that the food is gone and he is accused of stealing imperial food, no one can see the future. Zu Dacheng only said that he would take the food with him
He asked them to return to Yunyang first, but within a day's walking, more than 5,000 soldiers escaped. Zuda had no choice but to take the remaining 10,000 people to Tongyuan Bridge in the cold and hungry, trying to escape.
From here, cross the Wangchun River and head to Yunyang.
When they arrived at the Tongyuan Bridge, they saw a general in black armor riding a black horse in the center of the bridge. He was standing proudly on the Tongyuan Bridge with two hammers in his hands. It was Hu Xiaotian's fierce general Xiong Tianba.
Behind Xiong Tianba there were five thousand elite soldiers waiting in full formation.
Xiong Tianba had been waiting here for a long time on Yu Tianxing's order. Yu Tianxing was sure that Jiang Zhengyang's remnants would cross the river from here and flee to Yunyang. According to Yu Tianxing's advance estimate, there might be 15,000 people left here.
, but in fact the situation of the other side's soldiers fleeing was more serious than he imagined, and only 12,000 people were left at Tongyuan Bridge.
Xiong Tianba raised the sledgehammer in his right hand and shouted majestically: "Hey! I am Mr. Hu's vanguard, Xiong Tianba. Come and die as soon as possible!"
Xiong Tianba's reputation has already been spread through two consecutive battles against Dayong. The fact that he alone blocked Dayong's 15,000 troops at Bailakou is even more widely known. Zuda's face changed when he heard that it was him.
However, the only way in front of them is to cross the river. If they cannot cross the river, they will be trapped in this area. Before long, all forces will come to encircle and suppress them, leaving them with only a dead end.
Zu Da said: "Who wants to take the lead in plundering the formation?"
The generals behind him all looked at each other in confusion, saying that the soldiers will win, but the morale of these soldiers is so low, how can they have a chance to win? Zunda asked twice in a row, and then a man behind him said: "The last general is willing to go!"
Zuda turned around and looked around, but it was the guerrilla general Zhan Hongsheng. He had always been on good terms with him, but his true feelings were revealed in times of crisis. He nodded and said: "Be careful."
Zhan Hongsheng took off his big gun and said calmly: "It's just a young boy. How capable he can be. General, let me take off his head!" Zhan Hongsheng lifted the reins of his horse, walked out of the queue and walked slowly onto the bridge.
The black horse paused for a moment after stepping onto the bridge, and Zhan Hongsheng said loudly: "I am Zhan Hongsheng, the guerrilla general under Mr. Jiang's tent in Yunyang. If you are wise, step back and get out of the way, otherwise I will definitely kill you."
" What he said was full of momentum. The soldiers behind him seemed to have regained some confidence after hearing his words, and they all cheered him up. It should be said that Zhan Hongsheng was also one of the most powerful generals in Yunyang.
Zuda secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Zhan Hongsheng could defeat Xiong Tianba. Only in this way could these low-morale soldiers regain their confidence and cross the Wangchun River. On the other side, they might have a way to survive.
Xiong Tianba laughed loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, just come here and die!" (To be continued.)
