The Jin soldiers' ships no longer stood still. They changed their tactics and used entanglement tactics to avoid collisions with the inner guard ships. Instead, they entangled together and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Moreover, the patrol ships also have advantages. Their ships are small, only about a hundred stones, more flexible, and faster than the inner guard ships.
The two cargo ships took the initiative to meet the enemy and fought fiercely, covering the main ship and leaving first.
But at this time, the opponent's sentry ship seemed to know that the target was the main ship in the middle. The two sentry ships rushed towards the main ship, one on the left and one on the right, in an attempt to get close to the main ship. Zhong Huan shouted: "Deal with the enemy ship on the left first.
Use a throwing spear!"
The ten inner guard soldiers shouted, and ten spears were thrown at the same time. They cooperated very well, and each picked an enemy soldier. There was no repetition. The ten spears drew ten lines of silver light, penetrating the bodies of the ten soldiers.
, the soldiers screamed and fell into the water. In an instant, there were only five people left in the boat on the left.
Zhong Huan took out a throwing clay pot of kerosene. This kerosene looks very much like an old-fashioned grenade. In fact, it was designed by Chen Qing based on the shape of a grenade. It is a thin-skinned clay pot with two kilograms of kerosene inside.
The upper part of the shell of the pottery bottle can be ignited, so there is no need to light a fire. The burning pottery pieces are enough to ignite the kerosene. They are usually placed in a wooden box with a lid, and there are six pieces in a box.
Zhong Huan lit the pottery bottle on the torch and threw it towards the opponent's ship. The burning pottery bottle fell on the deck and broke into pieces. The fire oil inside spilled out and was immediately ignited.
At this time, the sentry ship on the right docked with the big ship, and a dozen Jurchen sentries jumped onto the cargo ship and fought fiercely with the internal guards.
Zhong Huan threw six throwing fire oil cans at one go, and the two sentinel boats burst into flames. At this time, a captain saw Zhong Huan and thrust his spear at Zhong Huan. Zhong Huan dodged and hid.
Passed the fatal spear.
Shifu straightened the spear and stabbed again. He suddenly screamed, and the tip of a spear came out from his chest. One end fell at Zhonghuan's feet. It turned out to be the boatman, but his long bamboo pole was actually a spear. He was wearing a spear on his head.
The iron mask made it difficult to see his expression, but he stabbed another person with a backhand spear.
The fierce battle on the ship had ended, and all the fifteen Jurchen soldiers who jumped on the ship were killed. How could they be the opponents of the internal guards? The corpses on the ship were thrown away, and the ship continued to sail forward.
At this time, more than a dozen sentries on the river were on fire. The two inner guard ships took the advantage of kerosene to the extreme. Throwing kerosene tanks, large kerosene tanks, fire-breathing leather bags, and throwing spears, all started
Launch an attack on the opponent's ship, turning all sentry ships into a sea of flames wherever they pass.
At least half of the more than thirty picket ships were on fire. There were patches of fire everywhere on the water, and the scene was very chaotic.
In the chaos, the three guard ships broke out of the encirclement and sailed quickly to the south, getting further and further away and gradually disappearing. The guard ship was burned and scared. The remaining ten guard ships did not pursue them anymore, but
While the corpses were being fished out from the river, the captain of the Jin soldiers on the bank was so angry that he could do nothing but watch the three Western ships go away.
The bottom hatch cover was opened, and Yang Qin and his family were helped onto the deck. There was some lack of oxygen in the bottom cabin. They didn't look good. They were pale and weak. They sat on the deck. It took a while for their complexions to return to normal.
Yang Qin was a better person. He first asked about the casualties of the Western Army. Zhong Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, don't worry. No soldiers were killed. Only seven people were injured. They were all flesh wounds. They will be fine in ten days and a month."
."
Yang Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If any soldier died for me, I would be extremely sorry."
Zhong Huan said calmly: "Even if a soldier dies in battle, Mr. Yang doesn't have to worry about it. We are executing King Yong's order. Even if we die in battle, we die for King Yong and have nothing to do with Mr. Yang!"
Yang Qin's old face turned red. He knew that he had said the wrong thing. How could the other party die for him? He thought too highly of himself.
He said humbly: "That's good!"
At this time, a soldier shouted: "There is a ship ahead, it seems to be our ship!"
They were almost at the mouth of the sea. The mouth of the Liaohe River became very wide, like a big lake. Three warships of five thousand stone appeared in front, flying the red-bottomed black dragon flag. It was their warships that came to meet them. The inner guards
They all cheered.
Hu Yun came to pick them up personally. Yang Qin and his family got on the big ship, met with Hu Yun, and were arranged to rest in the cabin. The injured internal guard soldiers were also sent for treatment.
Hu Yun smiled and asked Zhonghuan, "Will it go well this time?"
Zhong Huan smiled bitterly and said: "There were some twists and turns, but fortunately we were well prepared, so it was generally smooth! After all, we all returned successfully, and no brothers were killed in battle. There were no near misses."
"Only you inner guards can do this!"
Zhong Huan didn't explain too much. The matter was over. If it happened again, who could tell clearly?
In fact, he believed that Pang Guangji and the others could do it. After all, some things don't require force. Pang Guangji's men had given wine to the guarding soldiers. There were many opportunities here. They could take Yang Qin's family away without anyone noticing, and they wouldn't
One less Jurchen soldier.
Zhong Huan was almost certain that they were discovered and chased by the city's defenders. The reason was that the Jurchen guard was missing. When he came back, he discovered something had happened and immediately reported the news. Only then did three thousand cavalry chase them out, almost overtaking them.
Zhong Huan sighed and said, "I hope Pang Guangji is safe and sound!"
Hu Yun asked quickly: "You didn't see him being arrested or something happened, right?"
Zhong Huan shook his head, "He finally rode north and the Jurchen cavalry chased south. Their directions were completely opposite!"
"Then everything will be fine. Pang Guangji is very smart and can survive in the wolf's den. He has extraordinary wisdom and can protect himself!"
Zhong Huan was right when he thought about it. When Pang Guangji came to inform them, he was wearing white clothes, but soon after he rode away, he turned into black clothes. This kind of quick wit is not something ordinary people can imagine.
The three large ships slowly turned around and headed towards the mouth of the Juma River.
In the main cabin, Hu Yun asked Yang Qin to sit down. Yang Qin already knew Hu Yun's identity. He was the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Yong State and the pacifier of Yanshan Road. This position is equivalent to a high position. It can be said that he is second only to the high-ranking official who participates in political affairs.
, but it can be seen that Hu Yun is not yet forty years old. If nothing happens, he will definitely be the prime minister of King Yong in the future.
After thinking about this, Yang Qin's tone became more respectful. The soldiers came in and served them tea. Hu Yun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Actually, His Highness King Yong does not want to interfere in the internal affairs of Jin, and he is not a knight.
With a righteous heart, I hope Yang Shangshu can understand this."
Of course Yang Qin understood what the other party meant. If he didn't get any benefits, King Yong might send his family back to the Kingdom of Jin in exchange for benefits. Thinking of this, he felt frightened in his heart and said quickly: "I completely understand, and I also hope that I can
Provide some useful information to King Yong in return for his life-saving grace!"
When Hu Yun saw him on his way, he said calmly: "I will provide Yang Shangshu with a three-acre house in Daxing City, and also provide some paper and pen. I hope that Yang Shangshu will write down everything he knows, and I will submit it to Yong Shangshu.
Your Highness, if His Highness King Yong is satisfied, your family will be able to live in Daxing City forever, and even become commoners of the Yong Kingdom. However, if His Highness King Yong is not satisfied, the consequences will be serious, but I don’t want this to happen.
Yang Shangshu, you should write in dim sum! I will give you fifteen days, enough for you to think about it."
