Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 839

The river was originally not wide, and it was very convenient to get a boat on the east bank to get to the west bank. There were lights on the boat, but the people on the boat were all dressed as officers and soldiers.When the boat over there was still a few steps away from the river bank, the general on board drove the soldiers to jump into the river to get ashore quickly.

It was only waist-deep water to jump into, tossing and going ashore, the killing noise on the west bank was loud, and by the time the officers and soldiers on the east bank came ashore, it was already quiet here.

Most of the soldiers were woken up in their sleep, and the uniforms they were wearing were soaked in the water. There were quite a lot of mosquitoes on the shore. .

Several fires were being lit on the shore, and the lanterns on the sheds were still hanging on the poles on the trees.

The soldiers were in a mess on the shore, just looking for a dry place to stay, but no one cared about what to do here, or a few heads of hundreds of households saw the corpses over there, and they were stunned. Seeing the bloodstains and corpses on the ground, I couldn't help shivering, and shouted loudly there:
"Master Yi, the people here might all be killed!"

Floating corpses could be seen on the river just now. I thought there were some people alive on the bank, but there were still corpses all over the place. I didn't care about counting the number for a moment, but just shouted at the top of my voice.

The last few boats landed directly on the shore, and some well-dressed and well-built soldiers got off the boats, and a fat man with a big belly was helped off the boat.

The fat man was wearing the robe of Mr. Qian, his face was full of anger, and he said there:
"A thief!?"

When the thousands of soldiers on the shore heard Yi Qianzong's shout, they began to look left and right, trying to find the "thief". After looking around, they could all see the place where they landed directly in front of them. A low wall.

It's not easy to see things clearly at night, and if you look carefully, it seems that they were made out of sheds and tables and chairs inside. Could it be that the "thief" is over there? Everyone thinks so, but no one wants to go and have a look.

"What are you stupid doing there, send someone over to have a look!"

The fat man Qian yelled loudly, at this moment, he heard someone crying for help from behind the low wall:

"General Yi, Help"

Before the words were finished, there was a shrill scream. The officers and soldiers who went ashore were all excited and clenched their weapons tightly. However, none of them was willing to step forward, and they all retreated involuntarily. They could still hear The sound of "thumping" is that someone retreated and failed to control, and fell into the river.

As soon as he heard the life-saving voice, Mr. Yi Qian became anxious immediately, and shouted:

"The thief is over there, hurry up, hurry up!!"

He shouted about the case, but the soldiers around him opened their mouths to dispatch, and the hundreds of households who were called out reluctantly led the team forward. After walking forward for more than ten steps, the progress became extremely slow. Just let the soldiers throw the torches in their hands, and the archers drew their bows and put arrows on the torches, and shot them.

With the lights on, it was clearer on the other side, but there were more than a hundred people behind the low wall, and on the side of the low wall, there were dozens of Yan Ding tied there trembling.

Seeing that there were few people there, the courage of the officers and soldiers immediately strengthened, and some people started to rush forward before the general urged them.

After rushing to dozens of steps, there was a burst of dense firecrackers, and the people who rushed to the front were immediately thrown to the ground. Still walking forward, the chaos was finally stopped, and the firecrackers were fired again.

Another twenty or so people were let go, and the others no longer had the courage to charge forward, and retreated noisily again.

************
"It seems that Yan Ding colluded with the officers and soldiers and murdered him for money!"

Wang Tong said, and stood up from behind the low wall with a big knife in his hand. Thirty personal guards holding firecrackers were nervously loading there. Wang Tong looked at the officers and soldiers who were already in a mess on the opposite side, and ordered:
"Everyone rush over and drive these bastard soldiers into the river!"

Everyone agreed abruptly, Wang Tong didn't say much, first he walked out of the wooden wall, although his personal guards were only a hundred or so, and they were fighting on the shore, but their demeanor was very strict and abnormal.

Wu Er, Han Gang and others walked in the front with their spears, the firecrackers lined up on two wings, and the rest of the soldiers surrounded Wang Tong in the middle, forming a cone-shaped formation.

Mr. Yi Qian's personal soldiers were maintaining the team that had become disorganized, and they never thought that the other side only had more than a hundred people, and they were about to charge towards the group of more than a thousand people.

"rush!!"

Wang Tong gave an order, and a group of personal guards raised their weapons horizontally, and rushed forward in great strides. Under the light of the fire, the soldiers who went ashore saw that the opponents were all soldiers in heavy armor. It is also heavy and abnormal, and this momentum is already terrifying.

The firecrackers fired at the same time, and a group of them had already fallen amidst the screams. The guards dropped the firecrackers, picked up their waist knives, and rushed forward with the brigade.

The more than a thousand officers and soldiers were already in a mess, and Yi Qianzong's personal soldiers did not supervise the battle at this time, they just surrounded him on board and yelled for the boatman to sail.

More than a hundred strong soldiers charged more than a thousand weak soldiers. In fact, more than a hundred people were facing more than a hundred people. They dispersed the ones in front of them, followed by more than a hundred people, and kept breaking up the brigade.

However, these officers and soldiers were not even as good as this. Han Gang and Wu Er had just stabbed two people with their spears, and the whole team broke up suddenly. The soldiers threw down their weapons regardless and ran in all directions. Jumping into the river, some people even used swords to kill each other.

Wang Tong and the others, who were planning to do a big kill, were stunned. They thought that the bandits were targeting Wang Tong. When they saw these officers and soldiers, they felt that the bandits were bait. But these officers and soldiers are such useless people. Is the whole thing really the collusion of soldiers and bandits to kill for money?
"Horse hooves!"

The two Mongolians who got off the boat just now shouted, and Mo Zhigen lay on the ground and listened for a while, then got up and said:

"The land here is wet, and the small estimate may not be accurate, but it is no less than four hundred horses!"

Hearing this number, the expressions of all the people changed, and they didn't care about the officers and soldiers on the other side who were crying for their father and mother. Wang Tong frowned and thought, could this be the real killing move, but it was also wrong, but he said in his mouth:
"Get on the boat, we'll deal with four hundred riders on land, but on the boat, they can't do anything about it!"

The people below agreed, but just captured some leaders of the bandits and headed downstream to the boats waiting for them. Those officers and soldiers were beside them, and no one came to stop them.

Fortunately, there was one soldier on each ship, otherwise the fighting on the shore would have scared the ship away. By the time Wang Tong and his men boarded the ship, they could already see the traces of the cavalry, and hundreds of light spots could be seen Moving towards the shore, the cavalry came from the west.

If it was an ambush, it would not be a temporary requisition of civilian boats from the east bank to cross the river with great fanfare, so Wang Tong also wondered what the officers, soldiers and infantry were doing.

Everyone got on the boat, and the boat lined up in a long line until they reached the middle of the river, and then they started sailing. After walking a short distance, the cavalry had already reached the bank, but someone waved a torch towards the river and shouted loudly:
"The Marquis of Dingbei is on board, Xuzhou General Bao Rushan is ordered to come!!"

On Wang Tong's fleet, a group of soldiers were standing behind the side of the ship with firecrackers and bows and arrows. They didn't respond to the shouts from the river.

"Master Hou, your subordinate is Sun Yi. It is indeed Lord Bao and his personal guards who have been ordered to come here!"

*****************
After getting the news from Pei County, Wang Tong also had two preparations. On the one hand, he went to Pizhou carefully to see who was so bold, and on the other hand, he sent people to Xuzhou to dispatch troops to rescue.

After all, he is an imperial envoy. If someone wants to rob and kill an imperial envoy on the way southward, whether it is murder for money, or conspiracy to ambush him, the local government will be responsible for it. If anything happens, it is a great sin.

Xuzhou is an important place where soldiers have always been stationed. When Wang Tong's letter arrived, the governor of Xuzhou didn't care too much. He hurriedly went to look for the general guarding the city. Bao Rushan got the news and scolded someone who didn't have eyes and wanted to rob Beihou. Regardless of the procedures and rules, he summoned his personal guards and rushed all the way to Pizhou.

If it wasn't for Sun Yi, the soldier who sent the message, who was also shouting on the shore, Wang Tong would not order to stop the ship, but even so, the ship did not dock, and the two sides were just shouting and communicating.

Capture Pizhou Yiqian Zong and his men, and then those Yan Dings. These orders are passed on by shouting on the boat.

Of course Bao Rushan, the general on the shore, knew that Wang Tong didn't believe him, but the ground was full of blood and flesh, who would be careless, Bao Rushan just followed everything now, so as not to cause any trouble in the future.

When Mr. Yi Qian was also arrested and interrogated, all the truth came out, and the matter was really not that complicated, that is, the Pizhou garrison colluded with Yan Ding, the inspector, and Yan Ding robbed. Yi Qian always stands out, and sometimes the officers and soldiers will do it when they can't eat the fleet.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet Wang Tong this time, and it was still a team of imperial envoys. It was unfortunate that Wang Tong's official ship was replaced by a civilian ship. This imperial envoy team is fully equipped with firearms and armor, and its combat effectiveness is so strong.

******************
The early August in Puzhou, Shanxi was not as sweltering as in Nanzhili, and Zhang's Mansion, the largest residence in Puzhou, was also unusually quiet.

After Mrs. Zhang died of illness, Mrs. Zhang's wife, who was also Zhang Siwei's stepmother, also died of illness because of excessive grief. There were successive funerals in the house, and it was really not lively.

Zhang Siwei's beard and hair were already much whiter, and his expression was haggard. That night Wang Tong was fighting with the bandits on the Nanzhili Canal, but Zhang Siwei was reading the letter in the study, shaking his head while reading, and said with a smile:

"This kid thinks boldly"
