Chapter 39: The capture of Taohuawu
Who is Lu Wenzong?
Everyone was surprised and suspicious because when Lu Wenzong arrived, the thieves of the river craftsmen suddenly burst into cheers, sweeping away the previous decline and becoming even more desperate.
"Lu Wenzong is here, everyone is rushing!"
Xia Dajun felt like he was in a desperate situation and excitedly led the river workers around him to fight back against the officers and soldiers in front of him again.
Although the sun rose, the river workers' clothes had already been frozen hard. They looked like ice men and were very slow to move forward, but they still rushed forward desperately just because they believed that Lu Wenzong would be able to defeat the officers and soldiers and survive!
Guangyuan on the stone bridge was so excited that he was about to cry. Cheng Lin, the oil-selling man who was so sore that he could not lift it up, seemed to have been slaughtered with chicken blood. Gan Ermao, who had lost one hand, held the railing of the stone bridge and shouted "whimper"...
The river workers cheered, shouted, and rushed.
Lu Wenliang, who was slumped under the bridge, did not look back to look for his younger brother. He just looked at the figure of his son who was faintly flashing on the bridge, his eyes full of concern.
But unlike the worry just now, Lu Wenliang was very at ease.
"The people in front are getting out of here!"
With Jiang Kui's shout, the crowd that was rushing towards the stone bridge like a tide was like a giant boat, and the waves were spread to both sides.
"Jump the river!"
Cheng Lin glanced back, then he pulled Lu Guangyuan, who had slashed the spears of the officers and soldiers, jumped into the frozen river.
"Jump!"
The river workers on the bridge also jumped into the river without hesitation, which made the officers and soldiers instantly leave a gap of about several feet long in front of them except for the corpse.
However, the officers and soldiers did not take the opportunity to rush forward and tried to disperse the river workers on the opposite side, but instead turned around instinctively and ran backward.
Because hundreds of bamboo poles, two or three times longer than spears, rushed towards them under the clutch of desperate river workers.
Behind, there are more bamboo poles, and there are more than a thousand of them standing upwards.
The sunlight made this scene extremely clear, and also made the officers and soldiers know the role of bamboo poles.
But like Wu Gao's troops who were ambushed, even if the officers and soldiers who failed to retreat behind made ten thousand preparations, they still had no way to stop them before the bamboo pole was stabbed at them, because the spear in their hands could not reach the other party at all.
Some officers and soldiers who were about to be stabbed by bamboo poles instinctively threw the spear in their hands towards the opposite side, but the fall of more than a dozen river workers did not stop the rushing team.
The bamboo pole still poked it ruthlessly.
With the "puff" sound, it is the sound of the body being held back and retreating, and then knocking down the companion.
Amid the "puff" sound, there are those sounds that were so pushed that they could not speak or move, and subconsciously waved their knife to cut off the bamboo pole, and then the tip of the bamboo was penetrated into the flesh.
The narrow stone bridge limits the number of people on both sides, but cannot limit the thick and long bamboo poles.
Many officers and soldiers also jumped over the river.
If they don't jump into the river, they will either be knocked to the ground by the person in front of them, or they will be "nailed" by the bamboo tips that came out of the body of some of their companions.
After the initial panic, chaos followed.
"No retreat, no retreat!"
Ren Laojiu could not let his subordinates be "topped" from the stone bridge by the Hegong thieves, but he could not think of any way to stop the damn bamboo poles. He could only watch his subordinates running down from above in a swarm. Even if he led his personal soldiers to supervise the formation and kill two deserters, he could not stop the chaos.
The first one to run was not the soldiers on the bridge, but the general Li Yongsheng.
The subordinate whom Mr. Qian trusted the most chose to escape alone at a critical moment. There were too many thieves in the river workers. Li Yongsheng didn't want to be beaten to death by this group of mobs. The couple flew away when they were in a disaster.
Li Yongsheng's escape naturally led the officers and soldiers who were still struggling to resist the traitors from the river. They turned around and followed the general to escape to the town.
There are boats at the canal pier to the west!
The captain of the personal soldiers was loyal, but Li Yongsheng's escape exposed the right side of the stone bridge, and the stone bridge began to retreat. No matter how hard he held on, he could not change the situation where the situation was already hopeless.
Helplessly, he could only fight and retreat and wanted to meet with Lord Qian.
"The officers and soldiers were defeated, the officers and soldiers were defeated!"
The escape of the officers and soldiers made the river workers even more fierce, and the cheers burst out made the river workers in Taohuawu Town and Shanyang County farther away heard it clearly.
Ren Laojiu was afraid, he knew he could not stop it, and like Li Yongsheng, he also thought of the canal pier.
So he ran away.
At the moment of escaping, Ren Laojiu took a last look at the stone bridge.
But he was stunned.
Because he actually saw many officers and soldiers on the stone bridge, and also saw a man wearing the military uniform of the general Wu Gao.
General Wu Shen rebelled?!
Ren Laojiu was both shocked and angry. What was shocked was how could Wu Gao rebel? What was angry was why Wu Gao wanted to rebel and why didn't he bend Ren Laojiu to rebel together!
Thief, they have never done it!
But soon, Ren Laojiu confirmed that the person was not Wu Gao, but a young man he had never seen before - a young man walking towards the stone bridge surrounded by countless "commissioned soldiers" with swords, with a red cloth tied on his arms.
who is he?!
Ren Laojiu's confusion was quickly resolved. Wherever the young man went, the Hegong thieves cheered Lu Wenzong's name.
Lu Wenzong?
Ren Laojiu was unwilling to accept that he was unwilling to lose in the hands of a child who had not even grown hair, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only stomp his feet and escape.
If you don’t run away, hundreds of bamboo poles will be poked over.
At this point, Ren Wannian's troops, who had been dead for nearly an hour at the stone bridge, finally collapsed. After nearly a thousand casualties, the river workers in Yancheng County finally rushed into Taohuawu.
The town was in chaos, with officers and soldiers eager to escape everywhere, and river workers who were bravely chasing them everywhere.
Everything was reversed.
The river workers in Shanyang County also broke through the blockade of Ren's army, and the river workers in Yangzhou Prefecture who heard the noise more than ten miles away were also in agitation.
The riots began to spread like a virus in the canal section that lasted hundreds of miles, and no one could stop them.
Another official army halfway through the way, after discovering that Taohuawu had been captured by thieves, an incredible scene happened. After a brief discussion, the leaders decided to go back and rebel with the Hegongs under their surveillance. Their target was Huai'an City - countless wealth in the city!
Lu Si was unaware of this. He was at the entrance of Suji Winery, which was burning with a fire.
There were dozens of officers and soldiers surrounded and had no way to escape.
"Kill them and avenge the dead!"
The angry river workers made the dozens of officers and soldiers so much that their legs and feet were weak. However, just as the crowd was about to swallow them, a voice sounded: "Those who put down their weapons will not be killed!"
The river workers who heard this were stunned, but no one questioned it because the person who said this was Lu Wenzong of Ueoka!
The officers and soldiers were in horror, looking at me, I looked at you, and finally a soldier threw the knife in his hand to the ground and then fell to his knees.
Chapter completed!
