I'm a detective for Dongchang

Zhongli Gate

This is one of the five gates to the south of Da Jin, and it is also the small county where the gold mine was dug out just a year ago-Li County.

Because it borders Bagan and has gold mines, Qi Tianyin sent heavy troops to guard it. It took only one year to build a solid city wall, and Fang Sicheng designed and invented many heavy weapons.During the period, he was constantly subjected to tentative sexual harassment from Bagan, and was beaten back by Dajin soldiers and these avant-garde weapons.

But the temptation of the gold mine is huge. Bagan is not dead-hearted, and every time he sneaks up in different ways, he has more or less grasped the habits of the young general Xiao Hongcai stationed in Lixian County and the power of his weapons.Once, they even almost broke through the city gate, but fortunately Xiao Hong was calm and composed, and he managed to return to the defense very quickly to avoid being captured.

That time boosted Bagan's morale, and today, two months later, he dispatched troops again to gather at a place ten miles away from the Zhongli Gate, and this time, he was confident because...

They had Da Jin's ever-victorious general Chang Chonghu leading his [-] regular troops to join the Bagan team. Zhu Duolang glanced at the late man who was talking with his subordinates over there, and sneered.

He has self-knowledge, and with Bagan's current human and financial resources, it is impossible to compete with Da Jin.Therefore, Bagan has only one goal at the moment, to occupy Li County and take away the gold mine!Only in this way can we keep a low profile and develop our country's economy and military well. In the future, we may have the opportunity to attack Dajin.

He and Chang Chonghu each take what they need, and Chang Chonghu promised to divide it into Bagan as long as he helps him take down Li County; and he also needs to obtain information from Chang Chonghu for a long time.Thinking of Chang Chonghu's escape from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos this time, Zhu Duorang couldn't help feeling disgusted and chilled.This person is too insidious and cunning, so cruel that he could sacrifice the lives of his whole family, and lead his troops to escape to live alone.

"General, don't worry!"

Chang Chonghu's capable general saw his master bowing his head in deep thought, thinking that he was worried about the siege.

His family was all saved by Chang Chonghu, so he was willing to follow Chang Chonghu to collude with the enemy and treason. Sometimes a traitor who has no way out is loyal because he has no way out.Sensing that Chang Chonghu seemed to have concerns, he immediately spoke up.

"The Zhongli Gate seems to be very dangerous, but in fact, there are only a thousand soldiers on the gate, and they are all vulnerable!" He explained again, afraid that the other party would suspect it.

"Xiao Hongcai's defenders in the city were no more than [-]. In terms of defending the city, it can only be false. In addition, the general only surrounded the north and west of the county with troops, while there were almost no soldiers in the east and south of Li County. Da Jin has one soldier and one soldier, so naturally there are not many soldiers in the Zhongli Gate."

"Since that's the case, the task of attacking the front is entrusted to you!"

When the other party said something, Chang Chonghu went along with the flow: "Wait until you attract Xiao Hong's attention, then the army will pour into the back of Li County from the waterway, we will attack back and forth, and catch the turtle in a urn, and then you will make a great contribution pieces!"

what!
His subordinates looked at the general next to him in astonishment, with disbelief in their eyes. Are you asking him to lead his men to fight from the front?He He…

In an instant, this subordinate seemed to have lost his soul, and there was only one thought left in his heart - regretting that he was so talkative, he brought himself to a dead end.Although Xiao Hongcai is young, he has won several battles and is a young general who cannot be underestimated.

three days later

"Soldiers behind the tower, my official is Luo Tao, the former governor of Anshi, ordered by General Chang to invite General Xiao Hongcai to enter the city to discuss matters. Please open the city gate for convenience!"

Luo Tao, who thought he couldn't get any response and could only take it by force, just wanted to retreat behind the archer, but suddenly a sentence floated from the opposite side:

"Hold on!"

After a while, the gate of the city opened!
Luo Tao thought he was dazzled, but as the city gate slowly opened, his eyes were gradually narrowed by the sunlight that had lost the cover of the city gate. In an instant, I heard the sound of someone whipping the horse fiercely with a whip, and the horse rushed forward. I only heard that voice roaring:

"kill……"

The change was so fast that it completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Even at the gate of the city, the young bannerman of the Chang family army hadn't reacted when a few galloping horses passed by his side. At the same time as the horse passed by, a silver light flashed past his eyes, and with the sprint of the horsepower, the blade easily cut his neck as it passed over his shoulder.

"..." Before the scream could be heard, his head rolled to the ground.

"kill…"

Leading the horse, it was Xiao Hongcai who charged forward and roared. He was wearing heavy armor, and his eyes were cold and fixed on Luo Tao.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he killed more than twenty of Luo Tao's vanguards in an instant, and then quickly returned to the city, but did not close the city gate, as if waiting for the enemy.

Luo Tao was extremely angry, staring at the wide open city gate, but did not dare to attack rashly.The soldiers behind all roared, motioning for Luo Tao to fight in.

After a while, Xiao Hong boarded the city gate, with a mocking smile on his lips: "Luo Tao, this general just negotiated with you, why didn't you answer? Could it be that he was afraid? Hahahahaha..."

In the midst of Xiao Hongcai's sneer, all the officers and soldiers of Da Jin also let out deafening laughter.

This laughter hit the ears of all the rebels present, and hit their hearts hard.

Before the war started, nearly 30 people were lost, and the opponent returned to the city unscathed. This is a great shame for any general. If he does nothing, how will he gain a foothold in the army in the future!
Luo Tao's face turned red, but to be honest, Chang Chonghu and his subordinates discussed in the tent last night, they did not expect Xiao Hong to be stationed at the most strictly guarded city gate, even the general himself guessed that Xiao Hong would put I put myself in the Linjiang area where the defense is weakest in Li County...

Now Xiao Hongcai just brought a dozen or so cavalry to challenge him, and even opened the city gates to let him in. Is this an empty plan, or Xiao Hongcai's gamble?
Luo Tao led nearly 5000 elite soldiers to attack head-on, and [-] people were waiting ten miles away for an attack order. At this moment, he repeatedly thought about what Xuanji was in the city, but he never took any action.

The more than 500 archers in the middle of the team couldn't wait for Luo Tao's order, so they couldn't help but feel a little strange. Looking from a distance, only a few people had probes at the gate of the opponent's city. Why did the lieutenant stand still?

Just when Luo Tao was hesitating, a long line of archers suddenly appeared on the city gate, and a thousand arrows shot at them!
When Luo Tao saw it, something was wrong, and he was about to retreat, but an urgent voice came from behind: "Lieutenant Luo, the enemy is surrounding us from both sides!!"

"Follow me! Let's all go up, if we can't take the city gate, we will all die!" Luo Tao ordered with red eyes.

When people are on the verge of desperation, they don't know what kind of courage and boldness they will show. Luo Tao led the soldiers, with a determined look on their faces, waving knives like mantis arms and carts, rushing towards the city.

"Siege the city, attack the city forward..."

**************
"Respect General Xiao Nansheng!"

The roars of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the river were heard ten miles away. During these three shouts, the soldiers who were bowing to a high mountain in the southwest were even more tearful. At this time, more than a hundred soldiers on the river There are ships of all sizes, and the officers and soldiers on the ships are all white helmets and white armors. Looking from a distance, the river is like snow.

After the sacrifice, with the help of the southeast wind, this huge fleet sailed all the way up the river. A large flag was flying on the mainmast of the flagship in the middle of the river, with the words: "Xiao, the great general of the world's soldiers and horses" written on it.

These ships continued to bombard the river defense positions in front of them along the way, and the rumbling sound was like a thunderbolt. Faced with this terrifying posture, the Bagan water boats that usually swaggered on the river retreated steadily, and all the ships that had not been sunk at the bottom of the river fled to the bottom of the river. Behind the so-called "Jiangjianglong" line of defense they deployed, they only wanted to rely on the "Jiangjianglong" defense to try to block this huge Dajin navy army that suddenly attacked down the river.

Hu Ge, the general of the Bagan Royal Navy, was furious. He took his binoculars and looked at the leading ship in a rage. This look almost frightened his soul, and he didn't even notice that the binoculars fell on the board.

That was the young general Yuan Yanxi, who was just 15 years old and went with the army to wipe out the food and strengthen the soldiers!
No, he is also the fifth prince who was only 24 years old at the time——Qi Yumo!At this time, he was wearing a dazzling golden heavy armor, his red coat was raised in the wind, and he stood on the bow of the flagship with his sword.To Hu Ge, that was not a person, it was a beast that came to claim his life!
At this time, seeing the magnificent scene in front of him, Hu Ge hurriedly said: "Quickly inform General Chang! Qi Yumo led the troops to travel by water! Not dry land."

Before the words were finished, there was another roar of morale from the opposite river: "Ai Xue Linjiang swore to destroy the thieves, and the army will swallow the enemy with a hundred thousand spirits!"

Qi Yumo stared coldly at the enemy ahead, and also recognized the Dajin navy hiding behind the Bagan navy, which was a navy that was instigated by Chang Chonghu.

Heh, even if there is an army of [-] on the opposite side, in his eyes, it is nothing but a dying struggle.

The crusade ship code-named "Zhen Guo" has been going well so far, just as he predicted before he set off. Since entering Jinjiang, he has turned from the dark to the bright, or should be said to be willing to surrender to the invincible sea force led by the pirate Song Wei of Xiao's army. , the situation is the same as Mount Tai, and there has been no effective resistance along the way.When sinking several Bagan warships on the downstream river, they didn't even fire guns. They just used the wind to ram the three-masted ships at the enemy warships, crushing them to the bottom of the river in an instant like a car crushing ants.

"Dragon blocking the river!" The sentry in front reported.

Song Wei, who was at the bow of the boat, sneered, turning a blind eye to the 'river-blocking dragon'.

The so-called "river-blocking dragon" means that Song Wei used the remaining tricks, but he spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the river, and built a long dam across the river with giant trees as a defense line for locking the river. The entire dam is three feet wide. The top of the dam is covered with soil, and you can run horses at ordinary times. There is also a wooden fence on the top of the dam, and you can shoot from behind the fence towards the river. There are artillery positions not far away. , used to block sea ships, and there are several battalions floating on the river, ready to reinforce weak links at any time.

At this time, Chang Chonghu was just behind the iron chain, just waiting for Da Jin's navy to throw himself into the trap.

In his opinion, Jiang Fang is so powerful, even if it is the Xiao family army, even if it is Qi Yumo, how can he break through?
"Prince An." Song Wei called Qi Yumo's title.

"They're just poor asses!" Song Wei cupped his hands and said to Qi Yumo, with a confident tone: "This is all a trick I played when I was fighting against the garrison of the capital. Chang Chonghu is nothing new."

Qi Yumo looked at the fleet ahead, and then said in a deep voice, "Then this battle will be up to Governor Song!"

Song Wei immediately began to assign tasks to the soldiers, and everything was in order.

The two guards, Donghai and Lei Ming, stood behind Qi Yumo respectively, watching the formation of the "Dragon blocking the river" from the patrol boat. The Da Jin navy attacked the national border by water, and built such a surprisingly large water fortress in the middle of the river.

"The Eastern guards don't know that the driftwood behind the iron chain is the core of the entire 'Jiangjianglong'. If our army attacks, the enemy will throw gunpowder cans, arrows and cannons from the driftwood. , these connected driftwood are like a fortress in the middle of the river..."

Seeing that Dong Hai and Lei Ming listened with gusto, he went on to say: "Furthermore, these logs used as driftwood are several feet thick, and it is difficult to penetrate even a military cannon weighing more than ten kilograms. It is not easy to remove them. thing…"

Lei Ming heard the clues of the hall, and said: "Song Dudu, the cannons and arrows fired on the water must not be accurate. If you want to take them down, how can you use cannons? In addition, Chang Chonghu's army is not good at water warfare. , In this way, we have nothing to fear."

It's not just the ups and downs of the water, as a battle-tested veteran, Qi Yumo has already seen the weakness of the so-called dragon blocking the river at a glance.

Because of the fear of flooding, the cannons were placed in very high places. The surface of the river is not as smooth and stable as the ground. Of course, the gunners cannot aim accurately. By analogy, the archers will also experience the same embarrassment. He only knows how to fight on land, and he will definitely find it difficult to fight in rivers like Jin Jiang.

"Chang Chonghu and Zhu Duolang thought that as long as they built this sea fortress, they could stop our navy. They were just talking nonsense." Qi Yumo asked Song Wei with a smile: "Captain Song, how long do you think the army will take?" Can this formation be broken?"

"Big Jin's military power is something that these minions can't stop. From Song's point of view, this general can break through in half a day!"

"Okay! Then I just need to sit back and watch the dragon beheaded today!" Since the enemy called the so-called Suojiang a "river-blocking dragon", then he, Qi Yumo, wanted to slay the dragon!
Song Wei got the order and immediately shouted: "Send the order! Slay the dragon!"

The moment the signal flag was raised, Song Wei's confidant, who was on the flagship of the left-wing navy, waved his left hand suddenly, and saw four small boats rowing towards the 'Jiangjiang Dragon'.

These four small boats were slowly going up the river in the waves. The boats were covered with white cloth, which was exactly the same as when the memorial ceremony for General Xiao Nansheng was held before. In fact, they were all bait boats, and these four bait boats sailed out of the fleet shortly after , began to accelerate slowly, and soon rushed towards the driftwood at full speed.

Those nervous Bagan soldiers, who were frightened by Qi Yumo's aura, fired their guns almost as soon as they saw the four ships approaching them, and there was no one on board, but they were extremely fast and manoeuvrable. They were extremely flexible. The shells they fired were originally not accurate due to the undulating waves. Now that they were facing such a target, the accuracy would naturally be even worse. I saw the small boats go around in front of the iron lock, Then they went down the river, but instead of leaving, they turned around and came back after leaving the artillery range, and so on.

Continuously testing their firepower.

"29, thirty..."

When the enemy kept attacking the small boats with artillery, next to Song Wei, several generals in white helmets were counting the gun smoke on the opposite side. Menpao, the reason why those four ships were sent out was to find out the reality of the enemy.

"Almost [-] cannons, it's a waste of money for Bagan..."

"Pass down the order, the water ghost team will attack!"

For those who are not good at water warfare, they have never heard of the water ghost team, but for Song Wei who has been fighting at sea for many years, the water ghost team is the most common soldier.After the intercommunication order, the 'Water Ghost Boat' immediately rowed towards the driftwood in the river, and at the same time, the thunderous drums sounded in all the fleets.

Listening to the sound of drums resounding through the sky, Qi Yumo had a smile on his face, and looked at Song Wei from the corner of his eye, with a little complacency on his face, as if he wanted to tell everyone, look at the fierce general I am carrying in one hand!

This 'dragon' king is beheaded today!
"Water ghost!" Bagan soldiers shouted.

water ghost!

Hu Ge realized the danger almost as soon as he saw the water ghost.

"It's over!" With a terrified face, he looked at the 'water ghosts' who jumped into the river and disappeared, and there was only one thought in his mind-it's over!
Not only is it over, he really hates Chang Chonghu so much now, those driftwoods should have been fixed by sinking anchors with iron chains, but the cost of a Shenjiang iron chain is more than a thousand taels, so hundreds of driftwoods need more than a dozen A chain and an anchor.At the beginning, Chang Zhonghu claimed that he would pay for the iron chains and anchors used to make dragons, but Hu Ge knew very well what the Shenjiang iron chains they used now were just arm-thick oil-soaked hemp ropes. There are only a few huge stone anchors, but as for the silver for making the iron chain, he has not received any of it.

If those anchors are cut off, it will be over by then!

"Hey, what can we do!" The staff member stamped anxiously beside him.

As if to echo the staff's worries, a few pieces of driftwood that were originally fixed in the river floated slowly.

"what?"

Looking at those floating driftwood, Song Wei's eyes opened suddenly.

"The Pohou guys are pretty quick!"

Even Qi Yumo secretly marveled at the unique skills of Song Wei's subordinates.

It's no wonder they were so surprised. At first, everyone thought that the giant tree was anchored in the river by an iron chain, but who would have thought that after the water ghost team went into the water and touched the anchor chain, what they touched was the hemp rope. The chisel that was originally used to cut off the pig iron anchor ring was of course useless, and it took only a few breaths of effort with the dagger to cut it all off, and the driftwood that looked like a fort just now floated downstream.

Song Wei sneered and said, "Get on fire and attack the boat!"

The generals led by Song Wei are all experts in water warfare, and almost immediately seized the opportunity to dispatch fire attack ships. Each ship contained a hundred catties of gunpowder. Soon it was burned to death.

"Song Dudu's use of troops is indeed..."

Before Dong Hai could say the word 'supernatural', there were several loud bangs in front of him, and with the bangs and the jet of water blasted into the air, the fortress that looked like a small town was blown up. sunk.

"Prince An, what do you think of Song's dragon slaying!?"

"Okay!" Qi Yumo cherished words like gold, but strengthened his tone.

"I, the son of the Song family, has been on the sea since I was a child. Bagan's skills are worthy of being used to embarrass people! Prince An, just watch how my subordinates will kill this group of thieves!"

As soon as Song Wei's words fell, there was a burst of gongs and drums sounding from the opposite side.

It turned out that Chang Chonghu led his subordinates to flee to the shore one after another, and began to occupy a favorable position to shoot arrows at the ship.

"My lord, just stay here and wait for Song's good news!" Song Wei yelled at the soldiers on the side, ready to fight.

But Qi Yumo stopped him: "Raise the banner of my king, I will personally go and avenge my family!"

The yellow umbrella was so eye-catching in the smoke that all the soldiers shouted excitedly when they saw it: "My lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my thousand years old!"

Hearing the cries that came from the upper reaches, Fang Chang Chonghu frowned slightly, and his eyes were mixed with some other emotions.

"Ribai, listen..."

Chang Ruibai didn't speak.

"The weeds haven't been eradicated, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates!" He has never given up on tracking Qi Yumo's trail in the past ten years, but unfortunately, the old man is actually right under his nose, regretting, regretting that he didn't discover the result of this scourge earlier.

The landing operation of Xiao's army was tragic and tragic.

Facing the rain of arrows, the Xiao family's army held red-tasseled spears in their hands, all the way forward, their eyes fixed on the front, and they waved their guns and knives to resist the rain of arrows. Soldiers kept falling down, but the people in the back row didn't seem to see it. , stepping on the corpses of one's own comrades-in-arms and continuing to move forward...

The archers on the warships in the rear were familiar with the situation of the battle and did not dare to stop in the slightest. They tried their best to cover their own people and shot towards the opponent.

In just a few tens of feet, it was like a desperate situation of death. One soldier after another fell under the rain of arrows. The road paved with stone slabs was filled with blood in just an instant, and disappeared into the river.

"Kill!" Qi Yumo's voice gradually approached from behind.

Prince An actually wants to bear the brunt of it!

Someone in the Xiao Family Army at the front shouted: "Army of Loyalty!" Although his voice was vague, these four words reached almost everyone's ears.

"Army of Loyalty..." There was another roar, a burst of shouts, the pride that could not be concealed in that roar.

"Army of Loyalty...Army of Loyalty!"

This is exactly the bugle that General Xiao Nansheng took for the most heroic phalanx in the army!Loyalty Camp!
"I blew up your grandsons to death..." An old voice suddenly came out.

While shouting, Chang Jiajun in the front row saw densely packed iron bumps thrown out of the air at some point. The iron bumps had wooden handles, like hammers. Unlike hammers, they were The other end of the iron bump continued to emit white smoke.

What is this stuff?
"not good!"

The general's intuition told Chang Chonghu that there must be something terrible in that strip of iron bumps, he almost quickly stopped his horse and fled backwards, at this moment, he saw those smoking iron lumps in front of him fell into the ranks.

Boom!There was a thunder!
In an instant, the thunder that exploded like heaven and earth rumbled one after another, and the gunpowder smoke instantly engulfed the entire river bank...

Qi Yumo looked at the gunpowder smoke not far ahead, suppressed tears, choked his throat, and shouted: "Take the head of the bandit and respect the soul of the hero!"

War is always cruel.

Pray for peace.
