Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 163: rout

When the guards were dispatched to leave the island in four armed vehicles and ships, the Qu family lurked in the estuary to watch the situation and only when the plan to lure snakes out of the hole had been completed, they hurried to Jiuweng Bridge on horseback to inform Qu Wuming.

Qu Wuming hid in the branch of the river where the Quyang River and the Jinchuan River meet south of the Jiuweng Bridge. He received a report that there was a fierce fight in the direction of the river mouth. Dozens of pirate boats outside the pier on the river bank threw kerosene at Lin Bing and set it on fire. The raging fire that rose up burned the sky toward the estuary red, making the turret and the glazed lamp of the Prison Island Lighthouse dim compared to the lighthouse.

The group of bandits killed Lin Bie and led the crowd by surprise, and no one thought to report to Qu Wuming; Qu Wuming looked at the situation on the Hekou side, and he would succeed only if he was a group of bandits.

In Qu Wuming's view, as long as the prison guards are successfully led out of their holes, and they are defeated and annihilated in the narrow waters between the prison island and the estuary, the estuary will have no force that threatens the actions of the bandits and the Qu family before dawn. It will be the fish meat butchered by the Ren Qu family.

There are still two hours before dawn, and Qu Wuyang immediately dispatched. Three fast oars carried more than 200 people, including the Quyang Town Inspection Division's knife archers and Qu Jia's private soldiers, to "rescue" the estuary.

It is necessary to "rescue" the estuary before the Dongcheng Yuma infantry is dispatched, in order to collect more evidence against Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu.

************

On the west side of the river's pier, the sky is shrouded in darkness. She Feihu sees that the battle of the estuary has spread from the water to the shore. The soldiers led by Lin Fusuo are unstoppable. If he can organize a decent counterattack, he will know that the general situation is set. Even if he leads nearly two hundred extravagant elites into the battle, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.

She Feihu was a little excited, and he had no intention of hiding here to watch the battle. He also wanted to prevent Lin Fu from defeating Kou Chuan before concentrating on dealing with them.

"Lin Bie is greedy to cover all the bandits who landed on the shore..." Du Rong said.

Following the direction of Du Rong's finger, She Feihu, Song Jia and the others saw that Zhao Hu was leading four armed vehicles and ships to chase and defeat the fleeing pirates. However, looking at the combat range of the four armed vehicles and ships, they were actually closing the opening into the Jinchuan River. The four or five hundred thieves who had already landed on the estuary would not be able to escape from the waterway.

"Lin Fu is trying to capture the evidence of the Qu family's involvement," Qin Zitan said.

All the bandits were invited by the Qu family. This is something everyone knows well. Although the Qu family has not yet sent large-scale private soldiers to directly attack the river mouth, there must be some people among the bandits who are dispatched by the Qu family. Bandits belonging to different water village forces twisted into a temporary force to attack the estuary.

In order to make the timing of attacking the estuary completely under the control of the Qu family, the Qu family secretly dispatched a few people. Only by capturing these people can they obtain criminal evidence against the Qu family's involvement.

It won't be so easy for the Qu family to clear their guilt at that time.

Since Lin Fu has the intention to surround the group of bandits on the shore, he can't spare his hands to take care of this place. She Feihu doesn't have to leave in a hurry. Of course, he doesn't dare to tease them when Lin Fu is in full swing; Grab some of their handles and send them to Li Zhuo, and it's too late for them to take the regret medicine.

At this time, She Feihu and the others saw that the gates of the two surrounding houses close to the river bank opened, and they saw hundreds of minions, armed with bamboo spears, single swords and even iron-grass forks, rushing out.

The fighting power of these brave people to attack and kill the enemy independently is very weak, but after the current group of bandits defeated Lin Fuqin with their soldiers, they helped to block the intersection, capture and defeat the fleeing bandits, and quickly control the situation at the river mouth. The deficiency allowed the 400 soldiers who came ashore with Lin Fuqin to concentrate their efforts on fighting the robbers who were stubbornly resisting or fleeing in groups. There were also many brave people who climbed up the earthen walls surrounding their houses, took hunting bows and spears and shot the robbers in the alleys under the earthen walls.

In this way, Lin Fu completely gained the numerical advantage over the landed pirates. She Feihu and the others were hiding under the river bank, and they could only see the situation near the river bank. Those robbers who fled to the river bank saw that their escape route was blocked. Except for a few people who resolutely jumped off the river and jumped into the water to escape. Some people abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and Ren Minyong tied them firmly with ropes.

Due to the flow of water, most of the robber boats that had fled and scattered all fled to the downstream of the pier on the river's bank, and fled to the waters east of the estuary. Dozens of brave people jumped on the fast-paddle warships leaning on the pier on the river's bank and began to search for them. Fallen pirates.

Although he couldn't see the situation inside the Hekou, but seeing that Min Yong had come out to clean up the battle, She Feihu knew that Lin Fu had controlled the situation in the Hekou.

************

Hiding in the dark to observe the battle of the estuary is not limited to the She Feihu family. In the vast waters in the northwest of the prison island, a lonely boat is chasing the waves. The middle-aged man behind him said, "Father, how long do you think it will take before Gu Wuchen's edict to be promoted to the inspector will be sent to Jiangning?"

The middle-aged man looked at the fire burning in the direction of the estuary, frowned slightly, and said nothing.

Fan Ding, the lord of the vassal tower beside the attendant, said: "It probably depends on how long Jia Pengyu will delay after this matter before he agrees to resign."

"I'm afraid that Jia Pengyu can't help it," the middle-aged man said slowly, "I'm afraid that the Chu Party will take the opportunity to persuade the sage to let Governor Gu Wuchen go to war with Hong Zepu..."

Once Governor Gu Wuchen is given the name of the war, it actually gives Gu Wuchen the privilege of restraining the envoy and the admiral's office in the name of the inspector in some respects.

Li Du initially acted as the deputy envoy of Jiangxi inspector to govern Jiangxi County's war against Dongmin, and then as an envoy to govern the military and civil affairs of Dongmin County. Li Zhuo was also quite taboo, and Li Zhuo let the Chu party run to Jiangning to be the secretary of Jiangning's military department and the garrison of Jiangning.

In any case, Jiangning and the local forces in Jiangdong County never want Gu Wuchen to become a Li Zhuo-style figure who dominates the power.

"Gu Wuchen is afraid that his qualifications are slightly insufficient," Yuan Jinsheng said, "but in order to prevent this, it is best to encourage the sage to send other officials of the Chu Party to Jiangning to supervise the battle, and then maybe we will see the conflict within the Chu Party. "

"Master Young Master's plan is feasible." Fan Ding said.

"Let's see the situation, Lin Fucai controlled the situation at the mouth of the river, but he may not really be able to seize the handle of the Qu family to restrain Chen Xiyan." The middle-aged man said.

"We'd better go back first," Fan Ding said. "We can't see the specific situation in the estuary, so we should wait for the eyeliner to come back tomorrow to report."

Fan Ding also secretly sweated. When Lin Bing kidnapped Fan Zhimei as a threat to redeem Xiaoman, he was really angry. It's just that when the Dongshi incident happened, Gu Wuchen took this to completely suppress Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning, and Fan Ding could not bear it. At this time, it seemed that no one in Jiangning could erase Lin Bie from Jiangning without leaving a trace. Fan Ding thought that he couldn't help but attack Hekou, and the planning might not be more thorough than the Qu family.

****************

From the time when the bandits attacked the estuary from the pier on the river bank, Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenwan's father and daughter had been squatting on the ridge of the bamboo hall to watch the situation, watching Lin Fu personally lead the soldiers to take advantage of the bandits while they were half-passing to defeat the bandits crowded at the dock. , and watched Lin Bie take the lead and forcibly capture the pier. After hundreds of robbers gathered in the back stack of the pier to be defeated, the more than 400 soldiers who landed from the Jiang'an pier separated into two lines of vanguards and rushed along the north and south long streets and back streets.

There were more than 60 vanguard soldiers on each road, including more than 10 soldiers armed with Mo swords, more than 10 soldiers with knives, more than 10 soldiers with strange spears, 20 soldiers with swords and shields, and nearly 20 archers. One of the leaders was Zhou Pu, who wore a red helmet and blue armor, and held a sword, and the other was Ao Canghai, who wore a red helmet and blue armor and held a double halberd.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that there are five or six soldiers in the two vanguards, one Mo Dao, one Dao Dao Armor, one man with a strange spear, two sword and shield hands, and one archer. If the current enemy resists more resolutely, the strange spear of more than ten feet will stab in the front, and the sword and shield hands will cover the left and right. If there is an enemy who has infiltrated into the formation alone, the sword and shield hand and the archer will solve it with a single sword. The efficiency of mutual cooperation is extremely fast, and the robbers cannot organize effective resistance and counterattack. Street kill.

The robbers who came ashore to attack the estuary were divided into several pieces, fighting each other, but they did not capture any favorable defensive buildings. Apart from fleeing for their lives, they were no longer able to organize counterattacks and resistances.

The remaining 200 soldiers turned towards the Lin family's new house. Along the way, the scattered thieves surrendered without abandoning their weapons. If they resisted a little, they were mercilessly beheaded. Min Yong, who followed later, tied the abandoned weapons and thieves firmly.

Sun Jingxuan and Sun Wenwan's father and daughter have always held a heart, and felt that time passed quickly. From the time when the bandits went ashore to attack the estuary and Lin Bing took cover to attack the back road, they have completely controlled the situation in the estuary. It seems that the blink of an eye has actually passed. Less than an hour.

During this hour, especially in the second half of the hour, Lin Fu took a back path, and the pirates who landed had not had time to capture any important building at the estuary.

The Lin family's new house and Zhutang were quite close, and Sun Wenwan could clearly see Lin Bie wearing scale armor, climbing the steps to watch the situation at the estuary surrounded by military soldiers, and stretched out his left arm to have someone bandage his left arm. Wound.

At this time, Lin Fu was really heroic and mighty, with extraordinary aura. When he looked this way, Sun Wenwan's heart jumped inexplicably. Although she knew that her side was in the dark and Lin Bie might not be able to see it, she couldn't help turning her head away. The fact that his father pretended to be sick made it impossible for Xihehui and Lin Fu to resume their previous relationship.

The Lin family's new house also opened the door at this time, and led Fu Qinghe, Zhao Qingshan and others who were guarding the new house to come out to join Lin Fu. Zhao Qingshan led the hundreds of Lin Jiajiayong who had been guarding the new house for nearly an hour to assist the soldiers in attacking the estuaries in the river mouth. Remnants.

The opening for the robbers to escape into Chaotiandang in the north has been completely blocked. Even if they jumped from Gaoya, there is still Min Yong in a boat outside the river bank to catch the escape, the west side is blocked by the surrounding houses, and the east side is the Jinchuan River. Many robbers broke through the southern fence and fled south.

Sun Jingxuan knew that he was ashamed of Lin Fu for pretending to be ill, but he finally didn't escape to Longzangpu in the south of the city tonight, and he also confessed to Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe.

Sun Jingxuan ran the rivers and lakes and maintained the livelihood of more than 2,000 people. He couldn't help but be thick-skinned. He was about to climb down the ridge and go to Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe to get close, but he saw the police whistle sounding again from the corner tower, and there was a glazed lamp for the bronze mirror to light up. Projected on the pier of the river bank, Sun Jingxuan looked back and saw that three fast-paddle boats had just docked at the pier, and Qu Wuming, the inspector of the Quyang Town Inspection Department, was standing on the bow.

Sun Jingxuan was greatly surprised, didn't the Qu family know at this time that the fiasco of the attack on the Hekou group of bandits was irreversible, and at this time they were still going to jump in?

At the embankment pier, there were vanguard soldiers led by Ao Canghai, who pressed Qu Wuyang and others on the embankment pier and could not get to the shore. He saw Lin Fu put on his helmet again and led more than a hundred soldiers to the river embankment pier.

Sun Jingxuan was in suspense again. After all, Qu Wuming led the patrol officers and soldiers. He could fully claim that seeing the attack on Hekou and leading the crowd to help, what would Lin Fu do?
