Lord of the House

Shuizhai boats swarmed up, trying to separate the Dongyang from the building boat that Qin Chengbo was on, so as to prevent the two large ships from joining together and supporting each other. Seeing that the ships in the water village were stacked, Lin Fu did not force the Dongyang to grab the road, and let the building ship that Qin Chengbo took to attract more firepower.

After the building boat was withdrawn to the mouth of Luoyang Hunan, it attracted many water village boats to the narrow waters of Nankouzi, and the pressure on the Dongyang also increased sharply. Fortunately, the two Xiangyong fast oars led by Lin Zonghai and the two Dongyangfu horse infantry fast oars did not dare to leave the Dongyang alone to pick up the building ship, and fought and retreated together with the Dongyang, and actually took the responsibility for the Dongyang. With the pressure on the outside, Lin Fu and the others only needed to be careful of the arrows shot from a distance on the deck.

Lin Bie stood on the deck to watch the battle, Zhou Pu and two military guards stood by his side, guarding against arrows. Lin Fu watched that the building boat that Qin Chengbo, Shen Rong and others were on finally sailed into Hechazikou with difficulty. Holding the building boat firmly, the four Mengchong warships were tightly connected to the building boat. Hundreds of lake thieves in Hongzepu Water Village used the four Mengchong warships as a bridge to continuously attack the building boats. go. The robbers in the lake were poorly equipped, almost no one wore armor, bare feet and shirtless, holding a knife and recklessly killing the building boats, very brave, and many loach boats interspersed through the gaps, throwing nails, lime, arrows Stones, torches, oil cans and other objects helped in the battle; smelling the stench of feces in the air, the lake thieves did everything they could to capture the upstairs boat, and it seemed that they also poured feces and other filthy things onto the upstairs boat. If you want to replace it with the general government army or town army, it would have collapsed and disintegrated under such a fierce offensive of the water village. It is a pity that the hundreds of elites on the building ship are either the **** forces of Qin Chengbo’s private support, or the military guards of the Wufeng escort. The will to fight is very strong, and the equipment and training are not comparable to ordinary lake thieves. Besides, in the water battle at night, everyone can only use the building boat as the last resort, and there is nowhere to escape in the middle of the river, only desperate resistance. On the other hand, Qin Chengbo also offered a large reward. As long as the siege is broken, everyone will be rewarded with an additional 100 taels of silver, which also stimulates the military guards and retinues to fight more bravely; the casualties of the lake thieves are far away. It is far higher than the building and ship defense, but there are many pirates in the lake, and there is still no sign of their exhaustion at this time.

"It's good to enter the Shiliang River. You can't kill all these thieves!" Shiliang County taught Lu Dongyang a little bit about military affairs. He saw that the slow-moving building ships finally entered the Shiliang River, and the narrow river can restrict the ships of the water village. Large-scale maneuvering can actually make the building ship regain some of its disadvantages, "Lin, there is a good opportunity, we should rush over and follow the Fuguo General, then rush out of the tight encirclement, wait for a little repair in Shanglin, and then kill the carbine. We must teach this chaotic thief a hard lesson..."

"What Master Lu said is very true!" If Lin Fu had not known that there were a large number of water village boats hidden in the dark night, Lu Dongyang's suggestion made some sense. Lin Fu asked Lin Zonghai to talk to them and asked them Get ready to break through the encirclement in the direction of Hebrazi first, and send a light signal to the building boat, asking them to pay attention to the enemy in front of them.

The fighting was so fierce here, but the water village boats lurking in the Shiliang River always waited patiently and patiently for Qin Chengbolou boat to take the initiative to get into the trap. Lin Bie also secretly felt that the leader of the water village forces in Hongzepu was not simple. , However, the Dongyang has never encountered the main force of the lake pirates, so there is no chance to face the leader of the water village.

*********

Qin Chengbo, Shen Rong, Lin Tingli, Liang Zuoren, and many other staff in the Qin mansion were all in the "Flying House" on the second floor of the building.

"What, there may be an ambush in the river ahead?" Liang Zuoren's face suddenly turned ugly. He just thought that the situation of rushing into the Shiliang River had turned around, but he didn't expect that there might be an ambush ahead. He looked at Qin Chengbo in surprise, waiting for the Fuguo general Qin Chengbo to make up his mind.

In the cabin on the second floor, the thieves threw oil-filled clay pots and torches up and burned them several times. Qin Chengbo's eyebrows and robes were mostly burned, and he also had several wounds on his body, and the corners of his eyebrows were also broken by gravel. The blood was oozing, and his face was very ugly. At the beginning of the water battle, there were nearly 500 armed guards on the building boat. At this time, only half of them could use weapons to defend against the enemy. The Qin family had a total of 22 ships. At this time, only one ship was left to break through. In Shiliang River, there were less than forty servants and military guards that could stand on board. When the Qin family's fleet departed from Jiangning, there were more than 1,300 family members, servants, retinues, and hired military guards. , or captured by the lake thieves, there are less than 600 people left on these two ships, how can Qin Chengbo have a good face?

Qin Chengbo stared at the Dongyang ship in the distance. There were not many lanterns lit on the Dongyang ship. From a distance, he could only see the outline of the ship, and he couldn't see who Lin Fu was in the faint shadow. He spat, spit the **** phlegm on the boat, and cursed bitterly: "This son is by no means a good man, if I escape this catastrophe, I will never forgive him—his words can only be trusted threefold, We can only break through to the south now..."

Although Qin Chengbo was greedy for money and lust, he was not considered an incompetent person. Before, he had sent a signal to Lin Bie several times to lead the Dongyang ship to join, but the Dongyang ship never broke into the 200-step range of the building ship to give water. Zhai boat forced back.

Qin Chengbo knew that if Lin Fu could make the Dongyang rush to join the building ship, he would be able to share a lot of pressure for him. There are two large ships that dominate Luoyang Lake to support each other, and there are several fast oars. The ship shuttled back and forth, and the key point was that the Dongyang and the four fast oars still had more than 400 new troops to fight. Together, Qin Chengbo was even confident that he would defeat the Shuizhai battleship array in turn and stand out from the encirclement.

Qin Chengbo had a sullen face. He held a knife in his right hand and a card in his left, and sat in the middle of the cabin. The wooden doors and windows on the four walls of the cabin, which were easy to catch fire, had been removed, and more than a dozen armored soldiers stood around him. His eyes were staring at the direction of the Dongyang, and he was also worried that there were still enemies in front of him. If the Dongyang came to join him at this time, he would be willing to give half of the gold and silver in the ship to Lin Bie, but the chaos From the outbreak up to now, in addition to supporting the four fast oars, the Dongyang has always been far away from the center of the entire battlefield, and there is no meaning to come to meet and support in the death battle.

In Qin Chengbo's opinion, Lin Fu was completely opportunistic. At this time, he completely forgot the humiliation of Lin Fu, a small character, when he went to Lindu, and only hoped that Lin Fu would come to meet and help each other to break through. In addition to signaling the lights, Qin Chengbo even let people sneak to the Dongyang ship to negotiate with Lin Fu and promise a big reward. As long as they can cooperate with each other to break through the encirclement, they will not only recommend Lin Fu to be promoted to the third level, but also promise the beauty of gold and silver treasures. countless. It's just that Lin Fu didn't respond. The Dongyang was always on the periphery, and there was no Dongyang to rely on. The other four fast oars couldn't rush over. However, the water village forces took the capture of the building ship as their core goal, and tactically they only took the Dongyang. Blocked outside the center of the battlefield. Qin Chengbo was so anxious that he could not wait to chop Lin Fu into meat sauce with one knife? If it wasn't for the fierce battle between the Dongyang and the Shuizhai Ship, Qin Chengbo even suspected that Lin Fu and the Hongzepu Shuizhai forces had already colluded.

For Lin Fu's prudent way of protecting himself and preserving his strength on the battlefield, Qin Chengbo could do nothing even if he hated it, not to mention that Lin Fu had no duty or obligation to **** him at all, and Qin Chengbo had no way to directly pursue his guilt afterwards.

Qin Chengbo didn't dare to stop the ship rashly. There was still more than an hour before dawn, and it was the darkest time. At this time, he abandoned the ship and went ashore. Maybe he would have no problem escaping alone, but his wives and concubines were still on the boat. How many children and grandchildren can survive, but it is difficult to say.

Lin Tingli knew a little about Lin Xuzong's temperament last year when he drew his sword against Lin Xuzong. Of course, he knew that Lin Fu was not a kind person, let alone a kind person. Seeing Qin Chengbo's anxious appearance, he sighed in his heart: I knew it earlier. Today, why in the first place? If Qin Chengbo paid a little attention to Lin Fu, and asked him to accompany him on this ship when escorting him, at this time Lin Fu was here, would he still worry that the Dongyang ship would not come to the rescue with all its strength? It happened that he was very contemptuous at the time, and at this time, he was eager for others to save his life.

Shen Rong didn't doubt that Lin Fu had anything to do with the Hongzepu water village forces, but his hatred for Lin Fu was not much less than that of Qin Chengbo. In Shiliang County, dispatch troops to save Qin Chengbo in the future, instead of being trapped in the enemy line with Qin Chengbo.

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

A Mengchong warship was parked near the shore on the left side of Hukouzi. Wu Shiyi, the master of the water village in Fuling Lake, was standing at the bow of the boat. The bearded man’s descendants who had appeared at Yerendu a few days ago were also standing there. The thirty-three or four-year-old youth looked nervously in the direction of the building boat and the Dongyang. This youth was Liu An'er, the head of the Twenty-One Alliance of Hongzepu Water Village.

Liu An'er, formerly known as Liu Jingguo, was born in Liuzhen, Sizhou. In his early years, he sold saddles and bridles for a living. Many years ago, he gathered a crowd in Hongzepu several times to act. Although he was later confiscated from Jibei for the suppression, he also made many military exploits and became an officer. In the battle of Chentangyi, the officers and soldiers killed the Donghu people terribly. Liu An'er led the crowd and fled back to Hongzepu. With the help of his uncle Yang Quan, he secretly established a stronghold in Liujiabao, Sizhou. At the end of last year, Huaian Prefecture raised funds for the anti-theft camp The pay and silver greatly increased the fishing tax and donation of Hongzepu, which triggered a large-scale anti-donation movement. Liu An'er took the opportunity to join forces with the water villages of Hongzepu to plan another uprising.

"This Lin Xiucai doesn't look very simple, but he sees that we have soldiers in ambush in the Shiliang River..." When Wu Shiyi was young, he was arrested for a few years as a boatman for the Huai'an Mansion Hebo Station. Xin has some understanding of this set, and knows what the signal transmission between Dongyang and the building ship means.

"Even if they know that we have an ambush ahead, will they still retreat to Luoyang Lake?" Liu An'er said, his expression was not relaxed, he did not expect that Qin Chengbo's boat would be so difficult to bite, making them The casualties were so heavy that I really had to prepare a few large ships in the future, and then said, "It's time for us to play..."

"Big boss, we'll just go to the top in the last battle, and you need to preside over many things." Wu Shiyi persuaded.

"Tonight's blood is already enough. Many brothers rushed to fight without even a good knife. How can I hide behind and enjoy the success?" Liu An'er asked the left and right to help him put on his armor, picked up the Mo Dao, and waved the order to step down. The last reserved Mengchong warship rushed towards Qincheng Bolou.

The purpose of robbing and killing the Qin family's fleet was to seize the wealth of the Qin family to recruit soldiers and strengthen their strength. It can be guessed that Qin Chengbo would hide most of the gold and silver treasures in the building ship he was riding on, and besides, the sinking Rong, Lin Tingli, Liang Zuoren and other officials were all intercepted or captured, which would prevent Dongyang Mansion from organizing an effective counterattack and encirclement and suppression within a month at least.

*********

Regardless of the warning issued by Lin Fu, the building boat has already entered the Shiliang River, so there is no reason to return to Luoyang Lake to besiege the Shuizhai boat. The Shiliang River was covered in the dark night, with only the reflections of the weak water waves, and the distant shore and the river surface could not be clearly distinguished. Qin Chengbo didn't have any extra ships to watch first, so he couldn't detect the reality in the depths of the night ahead. , only a step is a step.

After fighting and retreating to the south for a few miles, there were no ambushes. It was inevitable to take a sigh of relief. After all, the fighting here did not slow down at all. Even if there were ambushes, it was very useful. Qin Chengbo and others were there. On the boat, it is inevitable to think that Lin Fu is worrying about nothing.

This side finally cut off the hook rods of the two Mengchong warships grabbing the annex ship, and threw the two Mengchong ships away. Feeling the wind, Qin Chengbo stretched out his hand and raised it. It turned out to be the wind from the northeast. He was excited. He laughed loudly: "The sky will not kill me! The sky will not kill me!" The building boat was trapped in Luoyang Lake for so long because the wind direction was wrong, so it was impossible to take advantage of the wind to set sail and retreat. The two Mengchong warships were seized, and Qin Chengbo was confident that with the help of the huge sails, the two Mengchong warships would be dragged out of the Shuizhai ship's front line and killed individually.

Qin Chengbo immediately ordered the lake thieves to be driven out of the boat and raised the huge main mast at the stern. After fighting for so long, it was a miracle that the sail was not set on fire, but when everyone thought they were about to get out of trouble, the darkness ahead was deep. There were more than a dozen river boats quietly approaching.

"Ambush!" Qin Chengbo and the others immediately realized that the ambush that had been hiding in the water village for a long time finally showed up. The dozen or so boats were very short, and most of the wind lamps of the building boats were destroyed in the fierce battle. , the light from the building boat was very weak, and they looked down at the river boat, only to see that only five or six people on each boat came over with bamboo poles, and there was no one else on the boat. Since all the arrows of the building boat had been shot, they could not stop the river boats from approaching, so they had to wait for them to come and fight. When the Pahechuan approached, Qin Chengbo blocked his view. He couldn't see what the Pahechuan was doing under the building boat. He heard the sound of a knife and axe slashing. Okay, just knock these boats off the river. After a long time, I saw the fire rising from the bow and the left and right sides. Qin Chengbo knew that these boats were loaded with oiled hay, and four or five boats. The boat latte hook nails were attached to the belly of the building and ignited, and another ten river boats ignited in front to form a fire barrier. A loach boat was waiting in full force, blocking the river. At this time, there was another Mengchong warship behind the building ship with hook rods and grabbed the building ship. The forces of Hongzepu Water Village wanted to launch a final general attack.

Qin Chengbo looked depressed, he said to Shen Rong, Lin Tingli and others: "Everyone, please wait for Qin to kill these thieves in person." The words were indescribably tragic and solemn, he could not expect Lin Bing to drive a boat to rescue , and was reluctant to leave his wife, concubines and descendants behind, so he had to go into battle in person.

"Waiting for the return of General Fuguo to kill the thief." Shen Rong, Lin Tingli, Liang Zuoren and others could only say the same at this time. They wanted the building ship to dock and let everyone abandon the ship to escape, which was better than staying on the ship.

When Qin Chengbo went out of the cabin, Shen Rong grabbed Lin Tingli's sleeve, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "If we all fall into the water, will Lin Fu rescue us!"

"General Fuguo lost his life in Luoyang Lake, someone has to take responsibility for this..." Lin Tingli sighed slightly, his life was hanging by a thread at this time, and he didn't fight Shen Rong for anything. uukanshu.com He also felt that even if he jumped into the river to escape and rescued Lin Bie and boarded the boat, it was not because of Lin Bie's love of the same clan and clan, but because he also needed someone to take responsibility for the generals of Fuguo who were robbed and killed in Luoyang Lake and the situation in Hongzepu. Responsibility for chaos. As a result, Lin Fu, a small ninth-rank scholar, had nothing but great merit and no fault in this incident.

Shen Rong regarded himself very highly, but he did not expect that Lin Fu would be so scheming, that the whole boat of civil and military officers ate his foot-washing water. Shen Rong knew that the final fierce battle here was the best opportunity for Dongyang and the four fast oars to break out of the siege, and Lin Bieshi would not miss it. They chose this opportunity to jump into the river. If Lin Bie came to rescue them, they would still have some hope of survival; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from the siege by relying on their few civil servants who were helpless.

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

Lin Fu watched the battle situation ahead and knew that the time to break out of the siege had come. He stood on the deck and said to Lin Zonghai who was on the fast oars in front of him: "General Fuguo has been unable to rescue, and we have tried our best. Presumably General Fuguo is under Jiuquan. I won't blame us. Sadness is useless. It is what we should do to highlight the encirclement and return to the horse to avenge the generals of Fuguo. Can we break out of the encirclement in one fell swoop? The light column of the lamp, rushing forward is..."

Lin Zonghai wouldn't go to save Qin Chengbo anymore. No matter how great the credit, he had to enjoy his life, but he didn't know what Lin Fu meant by the light column? While he was hesitating, the lighthouse on the aft deck of the Dongyang was silent for a whole night. At this time, it finally lit up. It seemed like a round of bright light rose at the mouth of the river. Several people manipulated the concave bronze mirror to project the light in front of them. The distant water surface was as bright as day, showing the route of breaking through. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
