On the leading ship, Luo Ziyu stared at the head of the southern city a mile away. He had made all preparations. A thousand soldiers were already lurking on the other side, dragging long ropes. Two hundred soldiers were also ambushing not far ahead.
Next to the wooden bridge, as long as an order is given, the soldiers will pull the rope, drag the fleet to the other side, and demolish the bridge at the same time.
The second watch had passed, but there was still no movement on the city. At this time, Liu Yan came out and asked, "Is there no news yet?"
Luo Ziyu was startled and said, "Your illness is not good yet and you can't blow the wind. Please go back to the cabin to rest!"
Liu Yan shook his head, "I'm fine. With hope in my heart, my body feels much better. We can't rush. The time for this kind of thing can't be so accurate."
"I think so too, just wait patiently!"
As soon as Luo Ziyu finished speaking, a soldier suddenly pointed at the tower and shouted: "General, look!"
When Luo Ziyu raised his head, he saw fire appearing on Nancheng's head. He was pleasantly surprised, "Shijun, has he succeeded?"
Liu Yan nodded happily, "He has never let me down, General Luo, send the signal!"
"As you command!"
Luo Ziyu cut off the cables tied to the river bank with one stroke of his sword. He quickly walked to the other side of the cabin, lit two torches and waved them.
The soldiers ambushing on the other side immediately began to pull the rope, and the ship slowly moved to the other side. The two hundred soldiers by the bridge also saw the signal and immediately began to demolish the bridge.
As soon as the ship moved to the other side, the soldiers monitoring the fleet on the riverside immediately noticed it. The captain observed it for a moment and then rushed towards the camp.
At this time, Fan Zhixin, the commander of the Bian Song Army on the river bank, had been pushed out of his sleep by his own soldiers, and his son came to give him an urgent message.
Fan Zhixin paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. His heart was filled with shock and confusion. Tian Shenyu was suddenly killed. Things were by no means that simple. What does this mean?
"Father, Yang Huiyuan and Xing Yanen have gone to mobilize their troops. If Yang Huiyuan defeats Xing Yanen, will it be detrimental to us?"
Fan Zhixin and Yang Huiyuan had a sworn feud. Twenty years ago, Fan Zhixin's army looted Pengcheng County. Yang Huiyuan's ex-wife and son both lived in the county and were brutally killed by the army. Although Tian Shengong tried his best to mediate the relationship between the two.
Contradictory, he killed fifty offending soldiers at the same time, including a nephew of Fan Zhixin, but the hatred between the two was forged.
Twenty years later, Yang Huiyuan had already remarried and had children, but the hatred between them could never be resolved.
"You're right, either he dies or I live. I can't let go of this opportunity to kill him!"
Fan Zhixin immediately shouted: "Send the order for the army to assemble!"
At this moment, the captain who was monitoring the river rushed over, knelt down on one knee and said: "General, is there any sign of movement of the fleet in the river?"
Fan Zhixin frowned. He was actually moving at this juncture. He asked again: "Is it moving or starting?"
"It seems to have moved, moved to the other side of the river."
Fan Zhixin nodded. He understood that Liu Yan must have also known about the abnormality in the city and moved to the other side of the river to avoid the disaster.
However, now that Tian Shenyu is dead, Fan Zhixin no longer needs to keep an eye on the tax fleet.
"Ignore the fleet and gather into the city immediately!"
.........
There were loud shouts of killing in the city, and it had turned into a bloody battlefield. Yang Huiyuan led eight thousand troops and Xing Yanen's more than ten thousand troops fought together. Yang Huiyuan's troops wore white cloths on their arms to distinguish them, but gradually it became difficult to distinguish the two armies.
They were all jealous of each other. As Fan Zhixin's 10,000 troops entered the city, Yang Huiyuan's army was outnumbered and began to appear defeated.
Dead bodies piled up in the city, blood flowed into rivers, and many people were also affected by brutal street fighting and died.
Most of the people were hiding in cellars, praying in fear for the military disaster to end as soon as possible.
At the same moment when the three armies were fighting bloody battles in the city, an army of 30,000 people arrived outside the southern city of Kaifeng. At this time, the fire in the city tower was still burning, but the city gates were closed and the suspension bridge was raised high.
.
Li Lingyao faintly heard the shouts of killing in the city. He turned around and ordered: "Send the signal!"
Three rockets soared into the sky, drawing three bright red flames in the sky. Guo Song, who was waiting at the top of the south city, immediately turned around and went down to the city. There were less than twenty soldiers guarding the city, all standing in the cave.
Colonel Wu, who was guarding the city, was standing on the city wall looking intently into the city. He didn't know when this fierce battle would end.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. When he turned around, there was a tall soldier standing behind him.
"What's up?"
As soon as he asked, a sharp sword was already placed on his neck, "Open the city gate!"
"What did you say?" Colonel Wu was stunned for a while.
The sword touched his neck slightly, and a stream of blood flowed down. Guo Song said coldly: "I'll say it one last time, open the city gate!"
"You bastard!"
Colonel Wu was furious and was about to draw his sword when Guo Song struck his sword and his body fell to the ground. At the last moment of his death, he was still a little confused.
"I'm looking for death!"
Guo Song pointed his sword at the twenty soldiers and said coldly: "Open the city gate and spare your death!"
"He's only one person!"
Someone shouted, and more than 20 soldiers swung their swords to kill Guo Song. Guo Song was furious and swung his sword into the crowd, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In just a few moments, more than 20 people were killed by him.
Kill half.
The others were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Guo Song pointed his sword at more than a dozen people, "I say it one last time, open the city gate immediately, or I will kill you all!"
The soldiers did not dare to disobey, so they divided into two groups. Seven or eight soldiers ran up to the city tower and lowered the suspension bridge. The remaining people opened the city gate at the bottom of the city. Two people saw Guo Song coming up to the city and thought they had an opportunity. They used
He winked, turned around and ran away, but after running more than twenty steps, two arrows shot out like lightning, piercing the backs of the two men's necks and nailing them to the ground.
Guo Song stood at the top of the city with a bow and arrow in hand, looking at everyone coldly. The other soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to have any luck and opened the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate had been opened, Li Lingyao waved his sword and shouted: "Come into the city!"
Five thousand cavalry took the lead in rushing into the city gate, and then 25,000 troops entered the city in a mighty manner.
Guo Song stood on the top of the city and silently watched the large group of cavalry charging into the city. He turned around and left in a hurry, disappearing into the night soon.
........
Although Tian Shenyu's trouble was finally solved, Guo Song knew in his heart that there was still a huge hidden danger that had not yet been resolved, and that was Yu Chaoen's people.
Of course Yu Chaoen will come to fish in troubled waters, there is no doubt about this, but where are Yu Chaoen's people hiding, and how will they show up? An intuition told him that tonight might be the last chance for Yu Chaoen's men.
When Guo Song came to the dock, the fleet had already moved to the other side, but this transfer was meaningless to him. When a cargo ship came in the dark, Guo Song jumped onto the cargo ship, and then jumped again.
Landed steadily on a tanker.
"Master Guo is here!"
A Cangjiange warrior guarding the ship spotted him first and shouted. Guo Song stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone attacking at night?"
The samurai shook his head, "Not yet!"
Another samurai said: "But it seems that a letter from the young master was shot just now and is in the hands of Governor Liu."
"Arrow letter?"
Guo Song was startled. Arrow letter means to use an arrow to pass through the letter and hit it with one arrow. Usually the person who comes to do this will do this if he is unkind.
"Is he from Yu Chaoen?"
He quickly ran to the first boat and jumped on it. Liu Yan said: "I am also going to send someone to find you."
"But there is a letter from me?"
Liu Yan handed him a letter and saw written on the cover, 'Guo Zongzong personally expresses his gratitude!"
Guo Song was shocked. He immediately thought of Sun Xiaozhen. He quickly tore the letter open. There was only one sentence in the letter: "If you want Sun Xiaozhen's life, we will meet at Baigou Pavilion in Lingshan at noon tomorrow. You can only come alone, otherwise you will stay."
The head of Sun Xiaozhen. It is signed by Chang'an Yang Wanhua.
Guo Song frowned, Sun Xiaozhen actually fell into the hands of eunuch Yang Wanhua, this should have happened on his way back.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Guo Song's mouth, and he actually used such an old-fashioned threat to himself. Who did he think he was? At worst, if Sun Xiaozhen died, he would kill everyone and bury Sun Xiaozhen with him.
"But something happened to Mr. Sun?" Liu Yan asked.
Guo Song nodded, "Sun Xiaozhen was captured by Yu Chaoen's men and asked me to meet them. May I ask where Lingshan is?"
Liu Yan suddenly became worried. He thought for a while and said: "There are two places in Lingshan nearby. One is in Mianchi County, Henan Prefecture, which is very famous. The other is just north of Kaifeng County, about twenty miles north of us.
, if time is tight, it should refer to Lingshan in Kaifeng County, which is close to Baigou. Master, let the warriors from the Cangjian Pavilion follow you!"
"Need not!"
Guo Song refused flatly, "The other party asked me to go alone. I won't take risks and there is no problem in self-protection. The key is to save Sun Xiaozhen. I just need you to prepare a horse for me."
"Okay! Do you want me to wait for you to come back and go together?"
Guo Song shook his head, "Let Li Lingyao's army escort the fleet go on the road tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me. Maybe I will have to deal with them. We will see you in the capital."
"Then take care of yourself and don't take any chances."
Guo Song tidied up a little and then went ashore. He cupped his fists and cupped his hands with Luo Ziyu, got on his horse, and urged his horse to gallop north.
Looking at Guo Song's back walking away, Luo Ziyu said worriedly: "I'm really worried! Will Sun Xiaozhen's capture cause anything bad to happen to Mr. Guo?"
Liu Yan shook his head, "That's because you don't know him well. He will save others, but he will never involve himself."
