Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 96 Lin's Daughter, How Can She Retire?

Shaobo is just a small town in the south of the Yangtze River that was prospered by the canal. Apart from the necessary few Chaoguan soldiers and yamen servants, there is not a single soldier in the town.

A large number of unnamed ships suddenly appeared on the canal. As soon as they came up, they surrounded the pier in a fan shape. They were dressed in black and masked, with armor hidden inside. They killed anyone they saw.

Liu Ke's guards and soldiers who stayed here did not expect that during the Taiping period, there would be thousands of thieves blatantly attacking the officers and soldiers' garrison.

In a moment of panic, the thieves rushed into the inner circle without even setting up the basic defensive formation. When the fire ignited, the whole pier immediately became chaotic.

Looking at the breached line of defense, Jia Shixi immediately summoned more than 50 soldiers on the entire ship, sorted them into bows, shield hands, long soldiers, and short blades, and tried their best to use them. The horse headed north.

"Brother Eleven, Uncle Shao is too far away, let's go to Yangzhou to write a letter. It's really not possible, Brother Eleven will take Miss Lin and the others to avoid it by land, and I will lead someone to break the queen!"

Jia Wuyi glanced around and saw that the thief had already approached, and the crossbow in his hand was fired instantly, and he was shot off the boat with one arrow.

If they couldn't hold it, the opponent obviously came prepared, but Liu Ke's soldiers and guards left behind were careless and caught off guard.

Not to mention the lack of superiority in numbers, there was no preparation at all, and some people took the opportunity to jump into the water and escape as soon as the fight started...

Sure enough, it has been a long time in peace, and these soldiers have really become masters!

Jia Shixi glanced at the situation on the shore, and the town was already full of beacon fires.This group of thieves probably had their eyes on this place a long time ago, intending to slaughter them all, leaving no one alive.

"May Day, tell brothers, put on armor! Stand by and wait for help!"

"Gather the cao soldiers around and tell them that Great Xia Xuanwu General Jia Shishi is here. This general will take over the battle here. Those who don't obey the general's order, retreat and run away will be killed without mercy!"

Wearing armor in water battles, facing death and no life.

Jia Shishi didn't know how the group of water thieves managed to appear in Shaobo Town without making a sound, but the target of the opponent's attack was obviously coming towards their ship. The Jia brothers and Daiyu.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Three cannon shots were heard from the shore, and two warships belonging to the Governor's Office of Water Transport caught fire and exploded. Jia Shixi narrowed his eyes and his expression became more serious.

Damn it!This is the artillery that only the official army has, and this group of people is pretending to be the official army!

"Come on, gather the ships around and block between the cannon and our ship. Who will destroy those cannons for me!"

"The end will be willing to go!"

"I am coming too!"

"Take me one!"

……

Crunch!

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see Daiyu walking out of the cabin wearing a red cloak, holding a Yanling knife in her arms.

Although the nine-year-old girl forced herself to be calm, her pale face and the bloodstains from the bite on her lips still revealed her nervousness.

"Miss Lin, it's dangerous here, hurry back to the cabin and take shelter..."

Daiyu shook her head and bowed to everyone: "I am the daughter of the Lin family, the future daughter-in-law of the Jia family. How can I hide in the cabin and watch the soldiers fighting outside? It's a pity that I have no strength to restrain the chicken. I can't move bows and arrows, I can't lift knives and guns, I can only beat drums to cheer for you."

"You live, I live, you die, I die!"

The seemingly thin little girl was decisive, and the murderous wind on the canal raised the cloak Daiyu was wearing, which was as red as blood, arousing everyone's fighting spirit.

Jia Shixi narrowed his eyes and looked into Daiyu's eyes admiringly.

The third master is so lucky!Lord good eyesight!

The girl from the Lin family has lived in the mansion for three years, but today she made Eleven look different.

Miss Lin, who is weak and weak, can be so violent!
"Come here, bring a war drum to our future third grandma. Today I will fight to the death and never retreat, and I swear to kill the enemy!"

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

Boom!Boom boom boom boom...

The drumstick was very heavy, but Daiyu seemed to generate endless strength and beat the drum with all her might.

The sound of the drums attracted the flustered soldiers around, and the battle group gradually gathered towards the boat where Daiyu was. Mingrong Guofu's personal soldiers and generals put up a defensive formation, temporarily blocking the first wave of attacks.

boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise on the shore, and the huge fireball illuminated the entire pier. The drumstick in Daiyu's hand paused for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and beat the war drum again.

The sound of the enemy's artillery finally stopped, but everyone on board was not at all happy.

This is what a dozen brothers paid for with their lives!

……

"Report!"

"Yangzhou urgent report, Mr. She and Mr. Lin blocked Yangzhou city at night, and arrested many officials and illegal salt merchants in the magistrate's office of Yangzhou..."

"Gong She inspected the Yangzhou city defense and found that more than 1000 city guards were missing. After investigation, these more than [-] people left the city this morning in the name of patrolling and heading north...Gong She was worried that there was a fraud, so he sent a special general to report !"

Just after landing on the almost flattened island, the messenger from Yangzhou arrived.

After reading the emergency report, Liu Ke immediately thought that there were more than 500 people missing in Shaobo Lake.

"broken!"

He slapped his thigh, looked at Jia Cong who was supporting Jia Lian and bent over to vomit, and had a very bad guess in his heart.

When they were thinking about Jiangnan Salt Class again, the other party was thinking about them again.

When Jia Cong and others left the city, they might have been targeted by the other party!

"Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Yangzhou has changed!"

Marching at night, whether by boat or on horseback, involved great risks.

But neither Liu Ke nor the Jia brothers dared to bet on whether the enemy went to Shaobo Town for a sneak attack.

Jia Lian took [-] light cavalry and headed south along the official road, while Jia Cong marched with [-] water army drum sails, and went south at full speed to support.

Liu Ke looked at the people and horses going away, feeling regretful in his heart.

It's over, regardless of whether the girl of the Lin family is okay this time, he dares to bet that Jia Enhou will definitely stop him and beat him up.

This battle has gained a lot, but he has pitted all the children of Jia Lin's family into it, and he even feels that the gain is not worth the loss.

……

dong dong dong...

With Jia Shixi's command, the originally messy defense became tighter.

The cao soldiers had been floating on the water for a long time, but they were still better than the group of black-clothed thieves in water battles. The battle lasted from midnight to dawn.

Both sides were exhausted from fighting, and the leader of the other side seemed to be more eager than Jia Shiyi, urging his subordinates to launch waves of continuous attacks.

The bows and arrows of the two sides have long been used up, and the artillery has been destroyed. The two sides have fought hand-to-hand for more than ten times. Originally, Daiyu's cabin has long been turned into a wounded camp. Help to bandage the medicine.

Daiyu, who was standing by the drum, had already had weak legs, and her delicate palms were already dripping with blood.But even though she had no strength, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

As long as the enemy attacks, she will use all her strength to smash the drumsticks hard on the drum.

"Miss Lin, go and rest for a while, the general is still here, and the drumming will not stop!"

Lai Fu, Jia Shiyi's young apprentice, tried to persuade him several times, but Dai Yu always shook her head and refused.It was the same this time, he raised his eyes to look at the eastern sky that had just been illuminated, and endured the pain in his palm.

Daiyu gritted her teeth and said, "The Lin family of Gusu, the fifth prince, the daughter of the Lin family, how can I say goodbye?"

woo woo woo...

The voice fell, and the horn sounded again.

Daiyu touched the Yanling Saber with a warm jade handle, her pale pretty face regenerated with determination.

Brother Cong told me to wait for him to come back!

Boom boom boom!
The war drum was sounded again, and the soldiers who had just rested for less than a quarter of an hour climbed up from the deck, gripped their swords tightly, and waited quietly for the coming of the fight.

hum!
Ding!
A feather arrow rubbed against Daiyu's already messy bun, and after taking away a strand of hair, it stabbed hard into the wooden board beside her.

Laifu screamed, trying to block Daiyu behind him.But Daiyu had already gritted her teeth and beat the war drum fiercely, without even looking at the feathered arrow.

"Keep beating the drums. If the drums stop, the morale of the soldiers will be lost!"

The two armies are at a stalemate in anxiety, and their own side is at a disadvantage, so they can only fight for the will of the army.

Why did she stand up, braving swords and swords, flying arrows and flowing stones?It was because under siege, only she, the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the future third grandma of Rongguo Mansion, stood within sight of the soldiers and could try her best to stabilize the morale of the army.

Standing firm and waiting for help is the only way she can do now, and it is also the most correct way to survive.

"Jump!"

Jia Xiyi gave an order, and dozens of swordsmen who had been prepared for a long time jumped onto the attacking ship.

This group of warriors, who were ready to die in battle, unexpectedly switched from defense to offense and rushed into the enemy camp.

The sound of shouts and screams erupted instantly, the oars stretched out, and the soldiers of Jia's family pushed the enemy's boat away with all their strength.

They can't rescue their brothers who are trapped in the opponent's battle formation, and try their best to delay the time and strive for rescue that may be difficult to obtain.

dong dong dong dong!

"Fire arrows!"

It's finally dawn!
A cavalry suddenly appeared on the pier, and the cavalry team of hundreds of people fired their crossbows and arrows, covering the enemy on the west side of the battlefield.

Jia Lian finally arrived!
Five hundred fresh troops suddenly joined the battle, and the thieves' offensive slowed down instantly.

Jia Shishi looked ashore, and saw big Qi characters written on the banners carried by the cavalry.

He immediately shouted: "It's reinforcements, it's General Qi!"

On a large boat outside, an old man stood at the bow.

He cursed angrily: "A group of trash can't break through the defense of less than 500 people in one night. Immediately send an order to attack again and push our cannon out...Since we can't catch any alive, send them to the Jia family The cubs go to the river to feed the fish!"

The middle-aged scholar on the side quickly persuaded: "Buddha! The leader said, we must catch the living!"

"What's the catch? Didn't you see that the reinforcements arrived? After fighting all night, the surrounding state capitals may have received the news. Don't you want the officers and soldiers to take our heads to collect the reward money? Fire and sink that ship Boat!"

boom!
boom!
boom!
Boom!There was a creaking sound, and the old man and the middle-aged scholar felt their feet shaking for a while, and then there was a violent sound of wood breaking all around.

"Rush over and sink them!"

Jia Cong commanded the fleet of warships to rush directly into the battlefield. The huge and sturdy warships of the navy were like sharp swords. After the artillery opened the way, they slammed into the local fleet camp.

He didn't care where the local commanders were, and he didn't care about the enemies who fell into the water and struggled in the canal, and directed his boat to approach Daiyu at full speed.

Daiyu couldn't feel her own arms anymore, she waved the drumstick resolutely and mechanically, until Jia Shiyi's surprise cry suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Little Sanye! It's Xiao Sanye who came back with reinforcements!"
