Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 132: Raid on Shanglinli (3)

Less than half of the more than 200 horse thieves led by Zhao Neng gathered in front of the Lin family's mansion, and the others were scattered everywhere to rob their homes.

Zhao Neng promised to bring them to Shanglinli to burn, kill, and plunder, but the villagers in Shanglinli had already been defeated. Waiting for reinforcements to arrive before washing and looting? It was no longer difficult for Zhao Neng to restrain them from attacking the Dalin family mansion together. Besides the Lin family, there were many wealthy families living in Shanglin. ?

Listening to the sentry coming to report that the Dongyang is only three miles away by water, Zhao Neng hoped to cover up Lin Fu and Huiyuan Xiangyong when they landed. When they converged, he handed over a hundred horse thieves in front of the Lin family mansion to Liu Miaozhen, the girl in red jacket, and restrained them to go to the ferry to ambush first. Although these cavalry soldiers who do not obey orders and go out to rob houses are sloppy, their combat effectiveness is very strong. After all, most of them are from horse thieves and mountain bandits. Zhao Neng also knows the truth of half-crossing and attacking. Sudden attacks will be most effective when people disembark and the formation is unstable.

Zhao Neng saw that everyone asked him to go to the ferry to gather immediately. Some people were really disobedient. He also beat him with a whip, and he sailed on the three-mile waterway. I heard that a big door in the east of the village was knocked open, and thirty or forty people went there to "help out"*, so Zhao Neng rushed over with his horse and whip.

Zhao Neng thought that he could kill Lin Fu's son at the ferry, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he was a little distracted while riding. He heard two strange wind noises, "whoosh, whoosh", and subconsciously looked sideways, two sharp arrows. He shot him in the face, and before he could react, an arrow plunged into his left cheek, and an arrow pierced his neck. He had no idea about killing Lin Bie, and saw a team of armored soldiers in the alley heading towards him. The guard beside him came to cover him, and he died before he fell down immediately.

Lin Bie met refugees at the Xialinli ferry and learned that Zhao Neng led a horse thief to attack Shanglinli. He, Zhou Pu, Wu Qi, Lin Jiyuan, and Chen Shou immediately led ten armor-piercing soldiers and two hundred Xiangyong in Xialinli. The ferry came ashore, so that Lin Mengde, Zhao Qingshan and others led more than a hundred villagers to stay on the boat, slowing down the boat and continuing to move up the forest to attract the attention of Zhao Neng and the thieves of the horses.

Fortunately, Cao Zi'ang and Ge Cunxin also caught up with Lin Fu from Chahe Road at the Xialinli Ferry in time. As a result, there were more than 30 elite armor-piercing soldiers available to Linfu. Lin Fu asked Cao Zi'ang to stay on the Dongyang number, and asked Ge Cunxin to follow them to attack the forest by land. Cao Zi'ang, Ge Cunxin and the others also temporarily tied the stern of the Dongyang with the loot from their troubled waters.

The water villages of the various families in Hongzepu naturally hoped and carefully planned to bring the Qin family's fleet into the depths of Hongzepu before attacking. In the vast waters of Hongzepu and the shallow lake, it is the place where small and medium-sized boats in the water village can only play an advantage. As long as the building boat that Qin Chengbo rides on is introduced into the shallow water, the water villages of the various families can control life and death. Elites can't jump into the water and fight with the people of the water village, right? Even if the Qin family's fleet was about to escape, the vast lake was two or three hundred miles away, and Hongze Pushui Village had enough time and space to pack up Qin Chengbo's family, and he was not afraid of the government's reinforcements.

Of course, Lin Fu knew that entering the depths of Hongzepu, the forces of the water village would have an absolute advantage, and there was no chance for him to fish in troubled waters. The use of fake beacon fires to induce water battles in Luoyang Lake in advance is the key to Lin Bing’s fishing in troubled waters. First, the water village forces are not well-organized in Luoyang Lake. Second, the Qin family’s fleet is convenient to turn in at Luoyang Lake without worrying about running aground. Only in this way can the forces of the water village and the Qin family's fleet be slightly evenly matched. Only when the two sides are evenly matched will the weaker third parties be given the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Only when the main fighting force of the water village was always attracted by the building boat that Qin Chengbo was riding, Cao Ziang and Ge Cunxin led the four Hongzepu fishing boats that were disguised by manpower and mixed in with the ships prepared by the water village forces and followed them to seize those who had been evacuated. The spoils of war on the ship of the Qin family that was on fire. The surrounding area of ​​Hongzepu has always been in a tense situation. Even if the water village forces are united, it is difficult to have a strict organization. This is certain. In addition, the sky is dark as ink, and the lights on the water village ships cannot be sufficient. The spoils of war were transported onto the boat. Even if the water villages would send people to monitor the boat, Cao Ziang and the others had to kill one or two of the water village supervisors, and then use the pitch-black night to drive the boat into the channel to escape. Naturally, it was not that difficult. . The trophies that the four fishing boats found in the muddy waters were naturally Lin Fu's trophies.

Cao Zi'ang and the others rushed over to meet in time, and tied a loach boat firmly to the stern of the Dongyang. No one could imagine that the loach boat contained some of the spoils that were originally Hongzepu Water Village.

Lin Fu said that he wanted to **** Qin Chengbo for a trip. Why did Shen Rong take the risk to accompany him knowing that there were signs of alliance between the various water villages in Hongzepu? This was because Shen Rong was too smart and too confident. Shen Rong also judged that the forces of the Hongzepu water village would do everything possible to introduce the Qin family's fleet into Hongzepu before proceeding further. The mouth of Luoyang Hubei is the border of Dongyang Prefecture, and further north is the border of Huai'an Prefecture. Shen Rong escorted Qin Chengbo to the mouth of Luoyang Hubei was already very polite. Luoyang Lake is Nanjing of Hongzepu, and Luoyang Lake is Beikouzi is only two or three miles into the Hongzepu waterway, and there are two or three hundred miles of waterway from the center of Hongzepu. From Shen Rong's point of view, Luoyang Lake is quite safe. Even if there is danger, he can quickly go to Shiliang County by speedboat through the old Shiliang River.

Shen Rong is too clever for the authorities. Most of Hongzepu is in the territory of Huai'an and Haozhou, and the water village forces are mainly distributed in the west of Huai'an and Haozhou. The government has nothing to do with it, but it can give him a chance to quell the rebellion and make great achievements. The only thing he didn't expect was that Lin Fu would be so daring to induce a water war to break out in Luoyang Lake in advance.

Shanglinli Xiangyong was stationed in the camp and succeeded in a sneak attack. The real casualties of Xiangyong were not particularly high, and more people fled away. Since no one gathered these Xiangyongs, Shanglindu was occupied by horse thieves again, and the Xiangyongs who escaped naturally fled to their respective homes at night. There were dozens of people from Xiangyong who fled to the north shore, and nearly 30 people gathered by Lin Fu along the road.

Lin Fu learned more detailed information from Xiang Yong, who had fled. The combat power of more than two hundred horse thieves is really not weak. The key is that they have horses, and they come and go like wind, which is very annoying.

Although the Zhujia water villages fought fiercely all night at Luoyang Lake and suffered heavy casualties, it is very likely that they will come to the forest after a little repair.

Of course, the Hongzepu Water Village might be more eager to occupy Sizhou City on the west side of Hongzepu. The terrain of Sizhou City is dangerous. In fact, Sizhou City is staggered by the topography of the West Mountains and Lakes. It can be said that it is integrated with the terrain of Hongzepu. Some people call the Xipu, which is called Hongzepu, and occupying Sizhou City will give the Shuizhai forces a relatively stable and solid the rear of the core. However, occupying Shanglinli is also of great benefit to the forces of Hongzepu Water Village. The key is to contact and instigate the hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded in the north of Chaotiandang and along the Shiliang River, making this incident even more powerful.

Lin Fu didn't know which choice the Hongzepu Water Village forces would make. He had to plan for the worst. Shanglinli was entrenched by two or three hundred horse thieves. In case the ships from the water village went south together, Lin Fu only had three or four hundred people to use. I am afraid that this battle will only be won by God's help.

Lin Fu knew that there was not much time left for him, and he had to rush the horse thieves out of Shanglin before the boats in the water village went south, and pick up Yingxiu, Zhao Hu, Sun Jingtang and others. The upper forest has a large area. Between the upper forest and the lower forest is a large area of ​​plum forests. The houses south of the plum forest are also dense, which provides favorable terrain conditions for Lin Fu and the others to sneak into the upper forest.

Taking advantage of the Meilin to the north of Shanglinli, Zhao Neng and Liu Miaozhen had limited forces and could not send sentries farther when they were scattered in the countryside. Dive into the upper forest.

Lin Fu intends to go ashore with the Dongyang number, so he wants to use the Dongyang number to attract Zhao Neng and the horse thieves to set up an ambush at the ferry. The terrain, as much as possible to limit the mobility of horse thieves, and take advantage of their large numbers. Zhao Neng was also unlucky. Lin Fu and the others walked through the alley. He led the guardian horse to gather up the horse thieves who robbed the rich households in the east of the village and passed through Lin Fu and their eyes and noses. Lin Fu knew that it was impossible to hide his tracks at this time, so he immediately decided to shoot Zhao Neng and his cavalry. The two arrows that shot Zhao Neng were shot by Zhou Pu and the other by Ge Cunxin, but by Zhao Neng. The eight escorts escaped with the help of the horses and the twists and turns of the alley.

Lin Fu didn't hesitate at the moment, and went directly to the ferry to kill.

*********

Liu Miaozhen heard that there was a big police whistle in the alley of the village, and instantly thought of Lin Fu dividing his troops to kill from the shore. She got the information from Luoyang Lake and knew that Lin Fu had only 400 people on hand, so she was not afraid of how many troops Lin Fu could kill from the shore~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Immediately ordered the cavalry to gallop to the west clearing, avoiding the unfavorable terrain of the ferry. Seeing that an arrow was shot in the alley, Liu Miaozhen dismounted and took a shield to block the arrow, protecting herself and the war horse, calculating the distance and the remaining strength of the arrow to hit the shield, and seeing that there were several strong bows on Lin Bing's side, she immediately turned over. Mounted on his horse and continued to detour eastward with one hundred and sixty cavalry. The bows on horseback are all short-tip, and the bow strength is far less than the strong step bow. Lin Fu and the others have strong bows, and in the lanes that are not conducive to the impact of the cavalry, Liu Miaozhen leading the cavalry to outflank is the best strategy. After all, there are many brave horse thieves scattered in the streets to contain a lot of troops on Lin Fu's side.

After several encounters, Liu Miaozhen led the horses to disperse at the touch of a button. After several trials, they attacked a little seriously, and just avoided the armored soldiers led by Lin Bie, and found opportunities to bite Xiangyong's tail from other places. Fortunately, Xiangyong did not suffer any major losses due to his familiarity with the terrain.

Lin Fu was really having a headache. He didn't have much time to spend on Shanglindu. At the worst, he had to evacuate everyone to the boat first to see if any reinforcements were sent from Shiliang County before making plans.

Lin Fu and the others captured a horse thief. After interrogation, they found out that this black-faced young woman was actually Liu Miaozhen, a woman in a red jacket. Cao Zian was among the boats in the water village last night. He also knew that the forces of Hongzepu Water Village were united, and there were a total of 29 leaders. , Liu An'er, who was arrested and detained in Hongzepu in the early years, was the head of the family. Liu Miaozhen was Liu An'er's sister and ranked seventeenth.

The Dongyang ship is near the ferry port. The main mast of the Dongyang ship is ten feet high. It makes people climb up the main mast. It can be seen that the post is several miles away. In a short period of time, everyone was transferred to the ship.
