Chapter 1599: Unexpected complications

"Baylor, the messenger sent by Prince Lilie is here again!" While Daishan and Taizi were fighting fiercely on the west bank of the river, Shuo Tuo also received his father's messenger for help.

"Let him in!" Shuo Tuo was neither happy nor sad when he heard this, and nodded businesslikely.

His name is Shuo Tuo, and he is the younger brother of Prince He Shuocheng and the second son of Prince He Shuo Li Lie of Dai Shan. His mother is the Li Jia family of Fujin, the direct descendant of Dai Shan.

Because Daishan did not like the Li Jia family of Fujin, he was also very unkind to the two brothers Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, and often abused them.

There was even an incident where Shuo Tuo conspired to betray him, so the relationship between the two brothers and their father Daishan was also extremely bad.

"Baylor, Prince Lilie is fighting with thieves in Hexi. Now he is at a disadvantage in the battle. Please send troops to rescue him quickly!" When the envoy saw Shuo Tuo, he couldn't help but kneel down and beg.

"Prince Lilie is my biological parent, how come I refuse to save him?" Shuo Tuo raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

"It's just that the waterway has been cut off by the 'shun thieves'. What can I do despite my great ability?"

"Let's do this. I'll divide half of my troops and cross the river from the upper reaches, so as not to be accused of being unfilial!"

"Ah? Okay, okay, thank you Lord Beile, thank you Lord Beile!" The messenger was stunned when he heard this.

This relationship between Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan was well known in the Later Jin Dynasty.

He originally thought that Shuo Tuo would never send troops, but he didn't expect that he would see justice at the critical moment, and he couldn't help but thank him profusely.

After finally seeing off the messenger, Shuo Tuo ordered: "Select 2,500 people immediately and set out at noon tomorrow. They will arrive in five minutes!"

"Baylor remembered it wrong. The agreement just made was at five quarters noon." Everyone on the left and right laughed when they heard this.

"Really?" Shuo Tuo sneered, "How could Ben Beile remember that it was the last five moments!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and it felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured all over their bodies.

It turns out that Shuo Tuo did not forgive Lao Daishan at all, but played a trick on him.

The two sides originally agreed that the reinforcements would appear to the south of the rebel army at 3:00 noon, but Shuo Tuo was stunned and delayed for an hour.

Military warfare is dangerous, and the slightest mistake will lead to catastrophe.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exhorted: "At least it's a father and son situation, how could Baylor do this?"

"Oh? So you are all better at being sons than I am?" Shuo Tuo couldn't help but sneered, "In that case, why don't you show your filial piety on my behalf?"

As soon as Shuo Tuo said these words, everyone immediately looked at each other, speechless.

Sure enough, it was not until noon that a group of people left Tokyo City and headed south along the east bank of the Taizi River. However, Shuo Tuo himself had prepared parasols, benches, melon seeds, watermelons and other items early, and sat leisurely on the wall of Tokyo City. Watch the battle across the river.

This is more like watching a show than watching a battle.

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw it, but there was nothing they could do.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound of artillery, the Houjin soldiers, who had fought hard for a long time, finally broke through to the south as promised.

The two sides fought hard for a long time, and at three quarters of noon, no reinforcements arrived. As expected, Lao Daishan fell into a hard battle.

"Hey, okay, you have today too!" Shuo Tuo couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and laughed.

No, when has this been? Why are you, father and son, just playing around? Everyone couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Unexpectedly, that Shuo Tuo was not moved at all and continued to go his own way.

However, at this moment, a fleet of boats appeared on the Taizi River, quickly passed by, and then inserted into the battlefield from the side, causing Daishan's troops, who were about to successfully break through, to fall short.

"Baylor, we can't go on like this!" Some people couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but begged, "The Han people have a saying: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

"Prince Lilie had his faults in the past, but if he loses today, I'm afraid we'll all be homeless!"

"How can I say this?" Bu Youshuo Tuo sneered, "Prince Lilie is my biological father. How could I do something worse than a beast like harming my biological father?"

"Don't try to sow discord between my father and son. Why don't you blame me for my military conduct?"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, and they immediately understood that this great undertaking was going to kill Daishan, and they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"You can't lie to me with empty words. What do you want to do now by just sitting back and watching Prince Lilie's success or failure?" Someone couldn't hold it back for a long time and couldn't help but jump out and said.

"What do I want to do?" Shuo Tuo couldn't help but ask, "Do you think, with my number of five thousand, how can I not only defend the city but also rescue the army on the other side of the river?"

As soon as Shuo Tuo said these words, everyone was speechless.

Now Daishan only has seven or eight thousand in his hands, but there are at least 20,000 "shun thieves" in front of him. How can he resist it?

"Then can we just sit back and ignore it?" someone said unconvinced.

"Who said I have to sit back and ignore it? Haven't our reinforcements arrived?" Shuo Tuo originally wanted to say, "Fight if you can win, surrender if you can't." Unexpectedly, he saw a large group of troops appearing in the west. I couldn't help but point out the traces.

"Huh? That's...that's the main force carried by His Majesty?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw the flag clearly when the man and horse got closer.

"That's right, that's our reinforcements arriving!" Shuo Tuo said a little lost.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Daishan, but he never expected that Duduo rushed over at the critical moment.

It turned out that Duduo had set out several days before the rebels and was not far from Liaoyang. However, he was unable to cross the river because the pontoon bridge was burned by the rebel navy.

After three to five days of wasted effort, Duduo finally found a way to deal with the rebels' "fire ship" tactics.

The method is actually very simple, that is, cover the reed pontoon with soil.

In this way, the "fire ship" of the rebel army can be pushed away in time before it ignites the pontoon bridge.

In this way, I don't know how much effort was wasted, Duduo led his 40,000 troops across the Liaohe River, and rushed towards Liaoyang City in double routes.

"Hurry, hurry, we will arrive at Liaoyang City soon!" Duduo rode the "flower horse" with a tired look on his face, urging the soldiers to move forward.

Although he didn't know what the battle situation outside Liaoyang City was like, he already had a bad feeling after wasting so much time.

"Ship, look, there is a ship!" Just as the Hou Jin army was moving forward quickly, several warships suddenly appeared on the Taizi River.

"No, it's the 'Shun Thief''s ship!" Duduo was stunned when he saw this, and couldn't help but remind him quickly, "Quick, send someone to keep an eye on it!"

It is not that Houjin has no navy, but its equipment is basically civilian ships.

Only the rebels and the Ming army have such fully armed warships.

Now that the Ming army is far away in the horizon, I am afraid that only the "Shun Thief" family is close at hand.

"What should we do? The situation is unclear now. Should we investigate first and then make any calculations?" Seeing this, Zuo Zuo couldn't help but ask.

"This" Duduo was undecided for a while.

Now he has arrived at the gate of Liaoyang City, but he doesn't quite understand what the situation is like.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the flag, the flag on Tokyo City!"

Duduo was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked towards the south of Tokyo City, only to see a big flag waving non-stop.

"What is the city talking about?" he asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, the city is reporting that our army is fighting fiercely with the 'Shun Bandits', and we are asking for rescue as soon as possible!" The scout observed carefully for a long time, and then replied with a somewhat uncertain tone.

"What? Hurry, send scouts to investigate. The others have organized their troops and prepared to fight!" Duduo was stunned when he heard this and quickly ordered.
