Zhang Meng took off his bamboo hat with a smile and said to Xie Yan: "We were almost fooled this time. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have imagined it. Their purpose was not to attack Shanyin, but to destroy the people in Qiantang and Jiangnan.
They are storing food, taking out ordnance, and transporting it to sea. These days, they have suspected soldiers in the Jiangnan camp, but the real main force has long since evacuated. The final general followed several of their troops, and they all found a large number of troops in the mountains and forests of Jiangnan.
Where are the grain, fodder, ordnance, and the fleet of monster thieves transported to Suikou?"
"Commander, there are currently only about 5,000 bandits on the south bank. They are all old and weak. The main force is retreating towards Suikou. If we don't pursue it now, we will have to do the same as last time and watch them enter the sea. We can only catch them.
These small fish and shrimps in the rear of the palace, this time the demon thief said that with these stored grains and treasures, he will sail eastward to Yingzhou Fusang and never return to China again!"
Xie Yan suddenly threw the chopsticks in his hand and stood up: "We must not let the demon thief escape! Send an order to the whole army to cross the river immediately to attack, destroy the demon thief, and come back for a feast!"
After he stood up, he walked directly outside the tent, followed by his three sons. Suddenly, Xie Yan thought of something and turned back to Xie Hun and said: "Ah Hun, go back to Shanyin City and supervise the people in the city.
Xi Sengshi, who is carrying a large amount of supplies to join the army, asked him to make lunch now. For today’s lunch, add a small fish to each soldier to celebrate the victory!"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Xie Hun's face: "Father, my son wants to participate in this battle."
Xie Yan laughed and said: "Don't worry, there is still time. You are careful and arrange the celebration banquet first. Later, I will be able to kill thieves side by side with my father. Military achievements are indispensable to you."
Xie Hun turned around and laughed: "Yes!"
Two hours later, in a dense forest on the south bank of the Qiantang River, Xu Daofu was wearing a green leather armor, the same color as the grass, just like more than a thousand people behind him crouching in the grass, even the sword body was painted
The cyan-colored disciples of Tianshi Dao, with green camouflage on their faces, had only one pair of eyes, staring intently at the array of Jin troops passing by more than a hundred steps outside the forest. Under a canopy, Xie
Yan was fully clothed in general robes and armor, and surrounded by Zhang Meng and more than ten personal guard generals, he moved forward with great satisfaction.
Lu Xun also dressed up in the same way and squatted next to Xu Daofu. His hands quickly made code words, communicating silently with Xu Daofu in this way: "Junior brother, it's just as you expected. Thank you."
Yan Zhen has all crossed the river, and now his Chinese army is passing through here, should we rush out directly and catch him off guard?"
Xu Daofu shook his head and replied with gestures: "Don't worry, after all the Jin troops have crossed the river, we will rush out from here and cut off their return. There is a large paddy field in front of Nantang.
The cavalry cannot spread out and pass through, so they can only advance along the field ridges. The senior brother has arranged the boats. Once launched, they will attack from both sides. The Jin army is huddled in a group, completely exposed to our army's crossbows.
When the time comes, all we need to do is get a big victory."
Lu Xun curled his lips: "Then we are just intercepting the enemy's return path here, and we won't get any credit at all."
Xu Daofu smiled and waved his hand and said: "Although Xie Yan is arrogant, he will not take the lead in every battle, but will drag behind. If the front army is ambushed, he will be the first to flee. If Xie Yan flees back,
, there is still a possibility for the noble family to form an army and fight again. This time, if we want to fulfill the agreement with our friends, we must not allow the noble family of the Jin Dynasty to have a chance to rise again."
Lu Xun's eyes flashed coldly: "Do we really want to cooperate with Huan Xuan like this? After wiping out the Xie family, Huan Xuan can easily enter the capital. We may not be able to enjoy the results of our hard work."
Xu Daofu curled his lips and said, "That's something for senior brother to consider. Second brother, you'd better not contradict senior brother on this matter. What we three brothers need now is unity."
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid that if I destroy Xie Yan, we will usher in a more terrifying enemy. That's all. The matter has come to this. It's useless to talk about it. Senior Brother, we should also..."
Before he could finish his gesture, he heard a sudden killing sound six or seven miles ahead. The sound of countless war drums and gongs shook the heaven and earth, and the uniform war roar of the Tianshi disciples
The voice made everyone here hear clearly: "The Supreme Master of Heaven, the Dharma Controller of the Three Wus, has incomparable power and boundless magical power."
Xie Yan's horse outside the forest was in a panic, and the soldiers around him were also furious. They stopped and started talking. Xie Yan shouted loudly: "No chaos, keep the alert formation, where are the scouts, ahead?"
What happened?"
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats coming from far away, and two soldiers with their armor crooked and covered in blood rushed to Xie Yan. Before he could roll his saddle and dismount, he started crying on the horse: "Commander Yan, something bad has happened. Our army is in front of us."
General Liu's army encountered an ambush in the water town ahead. Countless pirate boats came out from the rivers on both sides and fired fiercely at our army's queue. Our infantry and cavalry were unable to deploy, and there was chaos. General Liu
He was hit by more than ten arrows and died on the spot. The troops were in chaos and surrounded by the enemy. We fought our way out of the siege and reported to Commander Yan!"
Xie Yan's face turned pale, and he turned to Zhang Meng and roared: "What's going on? Didn't you say that the enemy retreated in a hurry?"
Zhang Meng's lips turned purple, and he couldn't speak clearly. He gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Yan, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we have fallen into the enemy's trick. They deliberately lured us across the river. Please order the withdrawal as soon as possible.
Bar."
Xie Yan bitterly hit Zhang Meng's face with a horsewhip, and a trace of blood suddenly appeared. He shouted: "Asshole, after you go back, see how I deal with you. Send the order, the rear team will become the front team, and the Chinese Guards will come to the rear. Quickly
Quickly retreat to the north of the Yangtze River, Zhang Meng, you personally lead the team to the rear, if a monster thief rushes over, I will skin you!"
As he spoke, he turned around to hit his horse and was about to leave. Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows shot from the woods on one side. More than a hundred soldiers of the Chinese army fell to the ground without even humming.
Swordsmen in green clothes kept pouring out from the forest, grass, and trees. A nine-foot-tall giant man brandished two hammers in his hands and rushed towards Xie Yan: "Xie Yanxiu"
Go away, Master Tian ordered me, Xu Daofu, to take your life!"
Xie Yan's face turned pale. He didn't care about organizing any more resistance now. He turned around to turn his horse and was about to leave. A flash of sword flashed from the corner of his eye. Xie Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right rib, followed by a sudden spin, and then
He couldn't ride the horse anymore and fell down directly.
