Chapter 565 Iron Chain Across the River
Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County
The guards stationed there were all soldiers with excellent eyesight and hearing. From a distance, they saw several small dots on the river approaching them quickly.
The young general called to a clever soldier, "Go and report to General Yue that a ship is coming."
At the same time, these guards have begun to prepare themselves.
Yue Shu soon appeared at the dock.
"Look at that bright red flag, it's one of our own!"
They saw that the big ship at the head was indeed carrying the flag representing their Pingzhou.
At this time, a scout with good hearing heard a few short piccolo sounds.
The scouts reported all these situations to Yue Shu one by one.
As a general with handsome qualifications, Yue Shu has extraordinary acumen in combat aircraft. "The Jintai Army obeys the order!"
When Yue Shu's order was passed on, the bearded Lu Dayou also heard about the situation at the dock and was running over with Meng Jingfeng and Feng Shuo on his left and right.
"Big Beard Lu, let me go!"
"How can three grown men behave in such a manner?!"
Meng Jingfeng and Feng Shuo were both good at it, and they quickly broke free from Lu Dayou's control.
Lu Dayou: "You two are really cool. Don't I just want you to go faster? You are so slow that you can't even keep up with the heat when you eat shit!"
Meng Jingfeng and Feng Shuo looked at each other and said in unison, "We don't eat that stuff. If you want to eat it, hurry up." They didn't like that.
Lu Dayou choked. Isn't he anxious? After arriving in Guangling, Xuzhou, they only fought two small battles, and then basically didn't move their bodies.
You must know that before they set off for the expedition, Liu Ye selected the top group to follow him. This group was also the first to set off, including Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei and others.
The remaining Jintai army could only feel aggrieved and set off with the brothers in other camps, including him.
Lu Dayou was aggrieved for not being able to keep up with the first group. He was obviously one of the top few in the Jintai Army, so why didn't Mr. Liu take him?
Lu Dayou firmly believed that he must have been implicated!
"You two were the smartest people in our Gada back then. You guys wanted to think of a way to teach your brother to show his face in front of Mr. Liu! Don't let Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei and others focus on beauty!" Lu Dayou I dislike being authentic.
Meng Jingfeng and Feng Shuo stopped talking when they mentioned this. They were indeed unconvinced. Didn't Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei and others surrender earlier than they did? Moreover, these despicable and shameless guys even made a contribution to them!
Just such a short period of time distanced us from them!
Although the three of them were bickering, their steps did not delay at all.
After a while, they arrived at the dock. When they saw Yue Shu, Lu Dayou was the first to rush out, "We are here, General Yue, is there a war?"
Yue Shu: "As expected, it is your Sixth Master who needs your support."
When Lu Dayou heard this, he was extremely surprised. He immediately turned around and shouted, "Feng Shuo, you old cunt, hurry up!"
The others struggled not to laugh at the nickname.
Feng Shuo came over with a pulled face, "Lu Dabeard, shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I won't stop your chin from growing?!"
Lu Dayou's eyes widened when he heard this. He was going too far. He even threatened him with his beard!
Meng Jingfeng ignored these two guys, but called the soldiers below, "Gather, gather!" No matter what kind of support Mr. Liu needed, they had to prepare it first.
In just a moment, the ships far away on the river changed from a few small dots to large ships.
"It's Mr. Liu!"
"Quick, Master Liu, let us support you!"
Qin Sheng faced the river wind and stood in the most conspicuous place on the front boat, waving a big flag with both hands.
At this time, there was rare fog on the river. Yue Shu, Meng Jingfeng, Lu Dayou, Feng Shuo and others who were standing at the front still saw the flag signal raised by Qin Sheng, and also saw the pursuers behind.
Looking at the soldiers who had lined up, Lu Dayou Chunfeng proudly said, "Young men, please show me some strength later. We must show our faces in front of Mr. Liu this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the leading ship speeding toward the dock, gradually slowing down.
"Come up two hundred people!"
The big ship came to an emergency stop quickly. Before it came to a complete stop, the gangplank on the ship had been extended. As soon as the other end landed, Lu Dayou stepped on the gangplank and was the first to rush onto the ship. The soldiers behind him followed closely.
As soon as the number of people was enough, the people on the boat pulled out the gangplank and the big boat sailed away immediately.
Then the next one came!
"Come up eighty people!"
Feng Shuo immediately brought people on board.
"Ninety people!"
Meng Jingfeng quickly boarded the ship, and the soldiers behind him followed.
In this cycle, each ship needs to replenish a different number of people. Once enough is replenished, it will leave immediately.
After Qin Sheng and his crew were replenished, they chose a position and headed towards the Wave Gang's fleet.
After the ships in the back replenished their forces, under the leadership of the lead ship, they drove back to fight back!
When the two sides fought, Wang Juntao was older and was protected.
"Is this okay?" Wang Juntao looked worried as he looked at the additional soldiers.
Although these soldiers are strong and energetic, fighting on land is different from fighting on water.
The Sixth Master was already fighting with the opponent. Chen Jinlong took the time to answer him, "These are all navy troops. Do you think it's okay?"
"Navy army?"
When he reminded him, Wang Juntao remembered that Pingzhou conducted navy drills last year and indeed asked the Cao Gang to lead them, but did they bring out so many sailors?
"Father, we have to believe in Pingzhou's arrangements." Lin Shan comforted him.
Suddenly, Wang Juntao couldn't help but blinked after seeing two people on the boat, "Chen Wei, Leng Feng, why are you here?"
These two people are both rising stars of the Cao Gang, and they have a reputation with him. Who will tell him now, aren't they on vacation in Pingzhou? Why are you here, still wearing Pingzhou's military uniform?
After the two heard the words and repelled the enemy, they looked back and grinned, "Gang leader, deputy gang leader, hehe, let's not talk about this for now. Brothers are here, let me teach you a lesson to Xiang Zhanyuan, that turtle grandson!"
Brothers? Wang Juntao had a bad feeling in his heart, "What's going on?" he asked Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was also confused, he didn't know either.
Wang Juntao called his old friend Bi Qie over. The two stared at the Pingzhou Navy in the battle and pointed at each other.
All of them looked very familiar, like Chen Wei, Leng Feng and hundreds of other good players, but they were all wearing Pingzhou military uniforms.
The two looked at each other.
Wang Juntao seemed to see a big hole dug in the corner of his house.
Finally, he sighed resignedly, that's all. They had all hung up the banner of Pingzhou just now. There was no difference between the members of the Cao Gang who voted for Pingzhou in the early morning and those who voted in the evening.
On the other side, Ran Shanlong and Xiang Zhanyuan also realized that the Cao Gang sailed the boat to the Dongtai County Pier to supplement their fighting strength. At first, they didn't take it seriously.
After Pingzhou's reinforcements boarded the boat and showed impressive combat prowess on the water, Ran Shanlong and Xiang Zhanyuan realized that Pingzhou had actually trained a group of navy troops!
They fought on the water for nearly an hour. In the end, both sides were victorious, and no one could do anything to the other.
Ran Shanlong and Xiang Zhanyuan discussed it and decided to lead the fleet to the north and voluntarily withdraw from the waters of Dongtai County.
The Wave Gang wanted to retreat, but Qin Sheng and Lin Shan did not give orders to pursue them.
When evacuating, Ran Shanlong and Xiang Zhanyuan felt extremely regretful. If only there were no reinforcements from Pingzhou, they would be 70% to 80% sure that they could capture Caobang.
In the end, the ships of the Tidal Wave Gang retreated to the Beihai and Donglai waters in Qingzhou and locked themselves across the river.
After the battle, Pingzhou's young generals assisted Bi Guanshi in cleaning up the battlefield.
Qin Sheng, Yue Shu, Lin Shan, Wang Juntao and others returned to the shore.
The people from both sides took a short rest and moved to the conference hall about half an hour later. At this time, Qin Zhao and Guo Chong had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Shan thanked him as soon as he sat down, "General Qin, thank you for your reminder, otherwise..." They would really be caught off guard.
Lin Shan and Wang Juntao never expected that Xiang Zhanyuan would betray the Caobang.
Qin Sheng: "It's a small effort, no need to thank you."
Lin Shan immediately told the two of them their decision just now, "General Qin, General Qin Zhao, my adoptive father and I decided after discussion to bring the current Cao Gang to join Pingzhou."
The Pingzhou generals present all smiled and said, "Welcome."
"When the war in the East China Sea ends, Lin Shan and I will go to Pingzhou in person to meet with Governor Lu." Wang Juntao expressed his position.
Qin Zhao: "This is not urgent." There is no need to rush.
Now the Chaoshan Gang is locked in Hengjiang River, with the purpose of stopping the Cao Gang, cutting off their connection with Pingzhou, and most importantly, cutting off their supplies.
At this time, Guo Chong asked Lin Shan, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, forgive Guo for being presumptuous, how much food did the Cao Gang rescue?"
Speaking of this, Lin Shan was also worried. In their haste, they didn't save much food.
Lin Shan reported a number and expressed his concerns. Now Caobang and Hepingzhou were like grasshoppers on a rope. He had never thought of eating alone.
He and his adoptive father had analyzed it in private just now. The Cao Gang was in danger this time, and their lair had been raided.
So what if they still have hidden gold and silver jewelry?
The entire coastal area, except for Pingzhou, is the territory of the imperial court. Who will stop the Caobang?
If the Caobang didn't defect to Pingzhou, they could only find a small island as a survival base. But the Wave Gang, who backed the imperial court, would not let the Cao Gang go.
It can be said that Caobang chose Pingzhou this time, and at the same time, Pingzhou gave Caobang a way out.
Hearing the amount reported by Lin Shan, Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and others looked at each other. This amount was not large. If they were just in charge of Cao Gang's own rations, it would be enough to last for several months. If you want to cover the rations of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army, haha.
Regarding Lin Shan's worries, Qin Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you have that intention. Don't worry too much about food and grass. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
Lin Shan and Wang Juntao were puzzled, but after hearing this, he decided not to ask any more questions.
Guo Chong stroked his beard and said, "Xie Zhan took action against the Caobang for food and grass."
"General Qin Sheng, General Qin Zhao, should we send someone to talk to the King of Jin and ask him to take care of the food and grass?"
Qin Sheng couldn't help but said, "No way? With your suggestion, Mr. Guo, does Xie Zhan think that the King of Jin will share the food and grass with us?"
Everyone present laughed.
"In Xie Zhan's opinion, the King of Jin and us in Pingzhou are probably a den of snakes and rats. He must also be afraid that the King of Jin will get mad and share the food and grass with us."
After all, King Jin has already given away two cities in Pingzhou, so it wouldn't be surprising to send some more food and grass.
Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, just send someone to remind you." What if?
