Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 275
"All ready!"

"Everyone puts on armor, and gathers immediately after disembarking."

"Ministries inspect weapons and equipment."

"The first battalion of the Pioneer Battalion stays on the building boat, anyone who comes close to Kill Wushe!"

Standing on the podium of the building boat, Zhang Jinyu watched the generals and schools ordering their preparations. It was also turbulent. He had been floating on the river for many days, and his heart was not at ease. Now that Jinling is in front of him, great things can be expected.

"Report, Lord Hou, General Lu has sent a message that we will arrive at Jinling Wharf in less than half an hour. Please make preparations early, Lord Hou."

"Tell Commander Lu to gather all the guards, except for those who must stay on the ship, everyone disembarks and seals off the dock market town, and no one is allowed to escape. Also, tell the leading ship that the sentinel blows the assembly immediately when he sees the dock The horn, use this as an order, quickly land on the shore, and kill those who block it!"

Zhang Jinyu stood there, holding the treasured sword, and commanded murderously.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, I will pass on the humble post now."

The captain got up and ran to the bow.

Ning Bian was wearing medium armour, standing behind him with a long knife,

"Master Hou, brothers are ready, you can kill them as soon as you reach the shore, there will be no delay."

"Okay, when Ningbian is there, first take down the pier and the guard camp, and then immediately gather people. I will take people to invite Eunuch Zhao. When Eunuch Zhao and I arrive, we will go straight to Jinling City."

Zhang Jinyu explained again worriedly that although the man in black was defeated on the way, he was not wiped out, and he didn't know how many people there were in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan was rich and rich, and there was enough money and food.

"Yes, my lord,"

Ning Bian agreed behind him, and when he saw that Master Hou was a little restless, he tried to comfort him;

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if you encounter a large group of people, it's a surprise attack after all, so you must have the upper hand. And if the enemy is so blatant, it's treason."

"maybe."

At the end of the navy fleet,

Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao also wore a gold silk soft armor, hid a short blade on his body, and under Xiao Dongzi's service, he put on a red inner robe, washed his face with water,

"Godfather, is there going to be a war tonight, why do you have to wear this baby?"

Xiaodongzi took the brocade cloth that Eunuch Zhao had wiped, and asked carefully.

Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao, helped the bun on his head, lowered his clothes, and snorted coldly,
"Fool, the Jinling Wharf is in front of you, and Marquis Luo Yun can't go down to vent his anger. If you encounter someone who doesn't have long eyes and ambushes there, it won't be a bloody battle. The people on the Jiangnan side don't know what to think, what's going on Don’t dare to do it. You also go to change into a suit of armor and hold a long knife in case of accidents.”

"What godfather said is that Xiao Dongzi will go right away."

When the little eunuch heard that he wanted to go down, his face turned bitter, so he had no choice but to agree, took out a pair of armor from the cabinet, and began to put it on. The cold armor was like Xiao Guizi's heart, with a cold feeling.

outside the hatch,

Li Yun and Li Qianhu have already assembled a good team to wait,

"Report to the Grand Duke, the Imperial City Division has a thousand armored infantry troops and a thousand cavalry troops ready, please announce it to the Grand Duke!"

Hearing Li Qianhu's shout outside, Zhao Si patted the inner lining of the soft armor, and then replied with peace of mind;
"Li Qianhu, you leave 500 infantry troops to guard the building boat, and show the boat to the miscellaneous family. The rest let Niuhu lead 500 people to disembark and follow Luo Yunhou's subordinates to control the pier. You personally lead a thousand cavalry to cooperate with the miscellaneous family. Luo Yunhou takes action, if you encounter anything on the road, protect the miscellaneous family in advance, and let Luo Yunhou take care of the rest."

"Yes, Dagong, the humble position will never be half a step away from the eunuch."

Li Yun and Li Qianhu were outside the cabin door, showing their loyalty.

"Very well, let's get ready."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

And on the building boat led by the navy,
Commander Lu had already arranged sentries to guard and observe after receiving the order from Lord Hou, and he also gathered 500 guards officers and soldiers on the upper ship, all wearing light armor and waiting on the deck.

After a quarter of an hour,

Suddenly the sentinel on the sail boom shouted;

"Report, Lord Commander, you have seen the Jinling Wharf,"

Commander Lu Yi opened his eyes and shouted;

"Okay, blow the horn."

"Yes, my lord."

The sentry on the mast took out the horn and began to blow.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

The desolate sound of the horn began to spread around the river, like ripples on the water, floating out round after round. In an instant, the people on the entire fleet began to light torches and wait on the deck.

And on Zhang Jinyu's building boat, the buglers on the high platform also blew a special long horn unique to outside the pass in response.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

The wharf in Jinling and the camp of the guards also started to panic.
"Where is the horn sounding, look around quickly, it's coming from there."

Lieutenant Feng of the Guards Camp stood in the camp and shouted loudly.

Many generals began to take people around to stand on the observation tower of Daying and began to look around. On the pier not far from Daying, they stayed up all night. Many merchant ships were still carrying goods, and many ship bosses, merchants and The merchants all heard the sound of the horn, and it was very strange that it was in the middle of the night.

"Boss, are you still blowing the horn at night?"

Some merchants couldn't help but asked, it's not the border.

"This, how is it possible, it's the first time I heard it at night. How could this happen before!"

Many ship bosses shook their heads, not knowing why.

Only the backyard of the restaurant,
When Bai Shuiyue heard the unique sound of the horn, she suddenly opened her eyes. This is the arrival of the frontier army outside the pass. She put on her clothes and opened the door, only to see the moon and stars outside. It was still midnight, and it seemed that something had happened.

"Ying Xiancai, hurry up, get ready, the frontier troops outside the pass are here."

Without looking at the reaction after speaking, he went back to the house and put on his clothes.

Just as I was returning to the house, there was a lot of sound of people dressing and rubbing their clothes in other houses, which shows their vigilance. , Hearing the reminder from the leader outside, I didn't know that it was the little master who came.

It's too fast, isn't it about returning to the outside of the customs? What's the matter, when we arrived at Jinling, did we turn the wrong turn on the canal?

"Hurry up, put on your clothes, don't make unnecessary movements, and follow the leader's eyes."

"Yes, Lord Protector."

There were responses from many people in the darkness.

Guard camp,

From the top of the tower the general shouted;
"A large number of sailors and officers and soldiers appeared on the river, approaching,"

Xiaowei Feng sighed inwardly, and he really came, shouting loudly;
"Let go of the pier, open the gate of the camp, and everyone gathers and waits."

"Brother, you."

"Listen."

"Yes. All gather."

Soon a guard of 1000 men was assembled and waited in the camp.

pier,

"Hey, come and see, there are so many fires on the river."

"Really, it seems that many ships are coming. Where did this come from?"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, show me."

Unidentified people and spectators all ran to the shore and began to look around. After a while, the flames got closer and closer.

I saw a majestic building boat approaching from a distance, and there were densely packed sergeants on the deck, and they looked even more murderous under the light of the torches.

"It's the navy, where did they come from?"

Before the words fell, the fleet approached. Many onlookers saw that something was wrong and wanted to run away, but it was too late. The building boat directly began to forcibly dock, and then lowered the long wooden boards to connect them to the pier. As for Fighting boats can disembark by deftly leaning against the shore.

"Quick, get off the [-]st Battalion. Take control of the pier."

"The second battalion disembarked to control the water army camp."

"All the guards disembarked and blocked the entrance and exit of the market town,"

"Hurry up, the people from the Imperial City Division will disembark immediately."

Seeing a large number of armored officers and soldiers running down from the boat like wolves and tigers, the onlookers were dumbfounded. Many people who felt that something was wrong still wanted to run, but the frontier soldiers who were chasing up beat them with their knives. overturned.

Not far away, many people also wanted to run home, closed the door, and resisted stubbornly, and then the guards began to land on the shore in large numbers, and then began to surround them.

The partial general shouted;

"Everyone squats on the ground, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy."

As soon as the cold words came out, the coolies and the ship's bosses and merchants were frightened, and immediately squatted on the ground obediently, with a look of horror on their faces.

More people who were far away turned around and ran, hiding in the market town.

Duan Hong also rushed into the guard camp with soldiers from the second battalion.
"Kill in."

"Kill it."

As soon as he rushed in, he saw that the guards had gathered in the camp, but they were all unarmed and unarmored.

He was also a little dazed for a while, and raised his hand and shouted,

"Stop, the manager on the other side comes out."

Duan Hong didn't look like he was going to resist, so he asked the leader of the opponent to come out.

"Report, general, Feng Yu, the left-behind school captain of the Jinling Guards, will see the general."

"what's the situation?"

Duan Hong asked if he felt something was wrong.

"Back to the general, these people are the only ones left in this big camp, and they are all here to stand by. As for the others, I don't know, and they never came back after leaving the camp."

"Lieutenant General, you take someone to watch them, and check the barracks by the way, I will report to Lord Hou."

"It's General Duan."

The lieutenant took half of the vanguard battalion to guard the guards, and the rest rushed into the barracks and started searching.

Duan Hong led his soldiers around the camp, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he returned to the pier to report.

All the soldiers in the guard camp tremblingly looked at the wolves and tigers in front of the frontier soldiers, and said in a low voice to the general manager behind them;
"Hey, this is a frontier soldier. It's too scary. How many people can fight that heavy armor, big brother is wise."

The surrounding soldiers all nodded, agreeing with Ba Zong's words, Captain Feng also heaved a sigh of relief, he really couldn't beat him.

Besides, when the deputy general was about to leave, his expression was obviously wrong, as if he was hiding something, and he brought a group of strange faces from nowhere.

on the pier,
Soldiers from the frontier army came down from the ship continuously, followed by a large number of horses, which crowded the entire pier.

Under the arrangement of Commander Lu, the guards mobilized more than 7000 people and directly blocked the market town at the dock.

Seeing that the pier was completely under control, Zhang Jinyu, Ningbian and Eunuch Zhao slowly got off the boat and came to the shore.

Zhang Jinyu saw so many people squatting on the ground, and so many people in restaurants, inns and courtyards.

"General Lu, work harder, call out those residents and everyone in the market town, and see what you find."

"Yes, Lord Hou. The last general will go here."

Just at this time,

Bells echoed in the sky.

"When, when, when!"
