He had already guessed this scene, but he still didn't want to see it.Because all of this indicates that things are moving towards his worst-case scenario.Things could be worse than he thought.There were more than 1,000 people deployed on the left flank on the north bank, and more than 500 people were facing Yu Shan's Liu Juzao ship.In order to prevent accidents, he also deployed several archers from the Houyi battalion, hoping to use their excellent archery skills to hold on for a while longer, so that the soldiers on the ship could dock in time to support.However, in just two drums, the Minyue army collapsed and was driven to the bank of the river, while the soldiers on the water were stopped by Liu Ju's warship and had not yet found a suitable place to go ashore.What kind of person is it the Huiji County soldiers led by Dou Qufei, Huan Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted Liu Ju, who had just climbed onto his warship."
Your Highness, don't stay here for long, leave immediately."
Liu Ju was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling holding on to the mast.He looked at Huan Yuan and hesitated for a long time."
How to go" "Your Highness, Wu County is only thirty or forty miles away, and it is just around the corner."
Once they arrived, we were trapped in the middle of the river, unable to go up and down, and we collapsed without a fight, and it was too late to regret it.Taking advantage of their pre-arrival, His Highness changed to a small boat, and there was still a chance to break through. ”Jing Zhao climbed up with the support of the two guards, and just heard Huan Yuan's words, and coughed majestically: "Your Highness's ship is damaged, and there are more than 100 soldiers trapped in the ship, don't wait for them to come out and leave, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will be cold."
There are still a lot of treasures on the ship, if not salvaged.His Royal Highness returned to Dongzhi, drink the wind to satisfy his hunger" Huan Yuan couldn't hold back anymore and was furious."
General Jing, you were also a general of the Wu State back then, don't you know anything about the water situation in Songjiang, and now the ship is damaged and will sink soon.How can you rescue the treasures on the ship, only afraid that the treasures will be snatched out.You don't have a chance to take it away, are you going to give it to Dou Qufei as a meeting gift, or else bring His Royal Highness's rank with you" Huan Yuan, you are spewing blood. ”Jing Zhao's face also flushed, and he was furious."
My devotion to Your Highness is evident in the sun and the moon.When I escorted His Royal Highness to Dongye, where are you in today's predicament, and what is the reason for it, is it not because of the collusion between your master and apprentice inside and outside" Huan Yuan sank his face, and the cold air was cold."
If my master colludes inside and outside, you can still stand here and speak."
Zhongli waved his hand.The archers of the Houyi camp immediately surrounded them, stretched their bows and arrows, and aimed them at Jing Zhao's subordinates who were desperately climbing up.Jing Zhao looked around and gasped.Immediately closed his mouth, and his face was afraid.It was only then that he realized that the situation was not right.Liu Ju's ship was damaged, and they could only move to Huanyuan's warship and send people under the fence.If Huan Yuan wants his life, it's just a gesture.Jing Zhao regretted Mo Die, and gave Liu Ju a look again and again.Liu Ju also realized the danger and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty.forced out a smile on his face and even said good things."
General Huan, the situation is urgent, General Jing lost his words for a while, and the general should not take it to heart.According to the general's words, it is better to leave as soon as possible.General, look" Huan Yuan snorted angrily, walked to the side of the gunwale, and raised his hand to order."
Beat the drums, assault forward, shout to give way to everyone, and those who dare to stand in the way will be killed" The archers responded with a bang, lined up on the side of the ship, shouted in unison, and ordered the other ships to give way.The drums of war exploded, and the oarsmen paddled hard, driving the ships through the waves and pushing the ships in their way aside.Some of the warships were overturned, and the soldiers on board fell into the water and cursed.Some of the warships simply turned their heads and prepared to rush the way.Huan Yuan didn't say a word, raised his bow, and the strings sounded continuously, shooting several people one after another.Screams rang out, and seeing Huan Yuan standing at the bow of the boat with a sinister face, the archers of the Houyi camp opened their arrows, and no one dared to fight, so they avoided one after another.Huan Yuan's warship quickly increased and broke away from the warship that was about to sink.He commanded the warship to go straight to Yu Shan's ship.Yu Shan's boat was also pierced by an underwater iron spear, and he was busy withdrawing to other warships, when he saw Huan Yuan and others coming, he called for help.Huan Yuan told Yu Shan about the current danger, and Yu Shan was also taken aback.However, he was different from Liu Ju, he was as good as a stream, and immediately gave up those treasures, took the personal guard battalion, squeezed away the other warships, and took the lead to sail downstream.Liu Ju didn't have many men and horses, and more than a dozen ships were loaded, and when they saw Liu Ju retreating, they followed one after another.Yu Shan's army didn't have time to greet him, only a small half found the boat and retreated with Yu Shan, and the rest were trapped in the big boat, or simply fell into the water.Huan Yuan took Yu Shan and Liu Ju to rush out of the encirclement, and then stopped."
General, Your Highness, you withdraw first, and I'll go collect the remnants."
Yu Shan was shocked and nodded again and again.Ordered someone to take his own order flag and hand it to Huan Yuan."
Everything is entrusted to the general.""
General rest assured."
Huan Yuan nodded heavily, bowed deeply to Liu Ju, took Zhong Liqi, jumped on a small boat, and returned to the chaotic battlefield.Yu Shan sighed."
Loyal and righteous generals."
Liu Ju's face is like a pig's liver, and he has no place to be ashamed.Jing Zhao's face was gloomy, and his eyes flickered.Huan Yuan returned to the center of the battlefield, got on a medium-sized warship, ordered someone to raise Yu Shan's battle flag, beat the war drums, and while directing the army to reorganize the formation and evacuate in an orderly manner, he ordered Zhong Liqi to take the Houyi battalion ashore and organize a counterattack to avoid being rushed to the ship by the enemy on the shore.The war drums sounded, the battle flag was raised, and the panicked Minyue soldiers found the backbone and gathered together towards Huanyuan.On the shore, Li Jiao had already commanded all the troops, squeezed the remnants of Minyue off the riverbank, and then ordered everyone to step forward and shoot.The Minyue soldiers huddled on the narrow shore, trampled in the wet mud, walked with difficulty, were shot in embarrassment, and fell one after another in a pool of blood.The blood stained the wet mud red, gathered into a stream, seeped into the river, and drifted with the waves, fainting into a dark red.Zhong Liqi led the archers of the Houyi battalion to arrive and shoot together, finally stabilizing the situation.As soon as he saw the battle flag of the Houyi battalion, Liang Xiao immediately signaled Li Jiao to retreat.Although Li Jiao was still unsatisfied, he still adopted Liang Xiao's suggestion.He could also see that although these archers of the Houyi battalion were still quite far from Liang Xiaobi, and even inferior to them Lang officials, they still had an advantage compared with these domestic slave soldiers formed by the powerful men of Wu County.In the event of a stalemate, the casualties of the domestic slave soldiers are likely to surge."
It's a pity, if the Huiji soldiers are here, none of these thieves will be able to escape.""
The soldiers of Huiji County should not be far away."
Liang Xiao looked at the western horizon and then at the excited house slave soldiers."
It's time to hide them.""
Why" "It's impossible for Dou Taishou not to know the strength of these big surnames, it's just that he doesn't want to do much, so he pretends not to know."
If you don't hide it, can Dou Taishou continue to pretend that you don't know?"
Li Jiao frowned."
Dou Qufei is so timid and afraid, not like the descendants of the Dou family at all.The Empress Dowager is still here, and they are so weak.In the future, when the Empress Dowager dies, will they still have a place to stand?
”"The Dou family has the difficulties of the Dou family.The Empress Dowager is over the age of sixteen and has been suffering from eye diseases for many years, so I am afraid that she will not be able to support it for too long.The children of the Dou family, Taoguang, are also prescient and prescient.Otherwise, as soon as the Empress Dowager dies, it will be too late to change her ways. ”Li Jiao glanced at Liang Xiao in surprise, smacked his lips, thought for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense, but I still feel aggrieved."
Wei Qihou was so chivalrous back then, but now he is in such a situation, which is really chilling. ”Liang Xiao didn't say anything.It's chilling to wait for two years, and there's something to make you even more chilling.Of course, your Li family is no better.You better think more about yourself, don't just worry about the Dou family.Yan Zhu and Dou Qufei shared a chariot and rushed to the battlefield.Calm had returned to the river, and there were not many people to be seen, except for some capsized boats and the bodies of drowned Minyue soldiers.Huan Yuan gathered the remaining soldiers and went down the river, and had been walking for half a day.The only obvious results were the three or four hundred people who were killed by the slave soldiers led by Liang Xiao and Li Jiao on the riverside.Because of Zhongli's reinforcements, nearly 200 people who had no way to escape returned to the warship.Seeing Wang Xing who came to greet him, Dou Qufei was very embarrassed.If he had listened to Wang Xing's suggestion and sent the county soldiers to the riverside to set up an ambush earlier, the result of the battle would never be only these few hundred people, and it was even possible to wipe out the main force of Minyue.It is possible to catch Liu Ju or Yu Shan.What a great opportunity, now it's all flowing down the river.Dou Qufei said to Liang Xiao and the others apologetically: "You have worked hard. ”Li Jiao snorted, his eyes glancing at Yan Zhu.Liang Xiao pulled his sleeve, pushed him, and came to Yan Zhu.Li Jiao held his head high, pretending not to see Yan Zhu.Liang Xiao was helpless, so he had to kick Li Jiao secretly and give him a look.Li Jiao glared unconvinced, and reluctantly saluted Yan Zhu, but said nothing.Yan Zhu was also embarrassed, and said lightly: "You have worked hard, this time when you return to Beijing, you must ask for credit for the monarchs." ”When the officials heard this, their faces softened.Liang Xiao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that these guys are really straight, and they don't even turn a little.He said to give you credit, and you believe that you are all three-year-olds."
It's all the adults who are in good command, I can't wait to do my part, it's not worth mentioning."
Liang Xiao said modestly, and reminded: "Although Minyue has retreated, the mission of the adults has not yet ended.When are you going to leave, arrange it as soon as possible, and we can make some preparations.These days, the war horses are very hard, and they have to be carefully adjusted.There are still a few horses killed in battle, and I also have to ask Dou Fujun to issue documents, and I will write them off when I return to Beijing. ”Dou Qufei's eyes showed a little surprise, and he looked at Liang Xiao intently.Yan Suke's color softened a little."
You don't have to worry about this, you report the horses that died in battle, and I will prepare the paperwork for you.As for the mission, Liang Xiao, do you have any good suggestions" Liang Xiao shook his head again and again."
We only know how to gallop and kill the enemy, how can we know any national affairs.Whatever your lordship has arranged, we will do what we are told. ”Yan Zhu was silent, but Dou Qufei laughed silently:
