When Huang Yi was just one step away from falling off the springboard, Xu Sheng stopped and asked with a playful smile: "Huang Prince Consort, have you thought about it? Why don't you say yes?"
Huang Yi's face was now covered with a mixture of sweat and oil, but he was breathing heavily and gritting his teeth.
Xu Sheng lightly shrugged, with an indifferent expression, and asked a group of enthusiastic soldiers behind him: "The Yellow Prince Consort refuses to cooperate, what do you think we should do?"
"Push, push, push him down..."
Amidst the roar of enthusiastic support for pushing Huang Yi off the boat, Xu Sheng slowly turned his face and gave Huang Yi an apologetic smile. He suddenly stopped smiling, raised his right leg, and kicked the
Huang Yi reacted and kicked off the springboard.
"Ah...Mom..."
"Bang!"
Amid a burst of laughter, the sound of falling into the water that Jiang Qin and others expected did not sound as expected. Instead, there was a buzzing sound of the rope being stretched.
Jiang Qin and others stretched their heads, and with the faint light of the torch on the left, they finally saw a rope. The rope was now stretched straight, and there were two soldiers pulling it there with difficulty, and under the boat at this time
There was another "bang" sound of an object hitting the hull, followed by muffled groans and curses.
"Xu Sheng, you have to die... Wuwu..."
Naturally, Huang Yi was the only one who hit the hull and cursed, but the cry that followed made all the soldiers on the bow burst into laughter. At the same time, Jiang Qin and his soldiers were also snickering.
"This Xu Sheng has his own tricks!"
Just as Jiang Qin finished muttering in the dark, he saw the soldiers on the ship pulling Huang Yi up again under Xu Sheng's order.
Huang Yi was really miserable at the moment. Not only was he bruised and swollen, his nose and tears were all over his cheeks and lips. After Xu Sheng and others helped him on the deck, they found that he was so scared that he wet his pants.
The group of ice pimples on the deck had another topic to make fun of Huang Yi.
After everyone made fun of him for a while, Xu Sheng did not ask Huang Yi whether he would talk or say anything. He and his two subordinates directly picked up Huang Yi and placed him on the springboard.
Huang Yi kicked his legs wildly, crying and making a fuss, unwilling to get on the board, and shouted desperately: "I said, I said, there are 20,000 defenders inside the city and 10,000 outside the city, led by Yuan Yin, Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui respectively.
Among the three generals, the weakest is at the south gate..."
Huang Yi was surprisingly cooperative. Amid a burst of laughter and curses from Xu Sheng and others, before he could put poor Huang Yi down on the gangplank, Jiang Qin's question came from the break in the hull: "What's going on with the previous North Gate defense now?"
Renovated?”
As soon as everyone heard Jiang Qin's voice, they stopped playing and turned around to pay attention to Jiang Qin. Xu Sheng and others knew that many years ago, Jiang Qin followed Cao Zhi and almost broke through Shouchun City where Chen Yu and Qiao Xuan were stationed.
It is said that Cao Zhi not only took one of his subordinates to visit Shouchun City in person. Now Jiang Qin also led his troops to almost attack Beicheng, which is facing the waterway. It was also the main target of their original attack. This is why they chose to start from
This place serves as a landing point, and the reason why most of this naval force is now concentrated in the area and waterways directly outside the north gate of Shouchun.
Because of Jiang Qin's understanding of Shouchun, Xu Sheng and others stopped asking questions and waited for Jiang Qin and his party to approach Huang Yi.
"General Chiang!"
Xu Sheng first greeted Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin was anxious about Huang Yi's information, so he casually hummed and stared straight at Huang Yi on the springboard.
Huang Yi had lost all face tonight, and his courage and arrogance had been completely flattened. Now that he saw Jiang Qin, whom he had offended before, his heart became even more hairy, thinking that Jiang Qin must be here to take revenge on him.
Just now, he had seen the methods of Xu Sheng under Jiang Qin, and he was really afraid that Jiang Qin was even more perverted than this Xu Sheng. So when he heard Jiang Qin's questions, he poured beans into the renovated buildings of Yuan Shu's residence in Shouchun over the years.
The city fortifications are all covered in detail.
What shocked Jiang Qin was that Huang Yi's confession was still very valuable. It not only gave him a better understanding of Yuan Shu's great efforts to defend Shouchun City at all costs after comprehensively considering the terrain of Shouchun, but also what Jiang Qin had learned many years ago.
The shortcomings and errors in the preliminary siege plan formulated based on the experience.
At first, they also had information about Shouchun, but it was definitely not as detailed and meticulous as what Huang Yi said. After all, it was impossible for their intelligence personnel to penetrate into Yuan Shu. Moreover, Yuan Shu had never trusted his subordinates so much. Some core secrets were only revealed by Huang Yi and Yuan Shu.
Yin and other clan members understand.
Jiang Qin gained a lot at once. After Huang Yi finished speaking, he fell into deep thought and ignored Huang Yi who was blowing the cool breeze on the springboard.
This made Huang Yi feel anxious again, wondering if Jiang Qin was trying to trick him again. Jiang Qin, who happened to have his hands behind his back, thought of something important again, and habitually rolled his eyes.
Turn towards Huang Yi on the springboard.
This moment of death made Huang Yi tremble again with fright, and he quickly collected the information in his head that could interest Jiang Qin.
"Oh... Jiang... General Jiang, there is another thing you may not know yet..." Huang Yi said in a lively voice.
But his words still caught Jiang Qin's attention, and he stopped his thoughts and asked, "Oh, tell me!"
"Can you let me down first?" Huang Yi finally found the opportunity to make some conditions to Jiang Qin and others.
"Yo! Haha... Xu Sheng, look, we have left the Yellow Prince Consort hanging for too long, and we actually forgot to let him down, haha..."
As Jiang Qin said this, he waved to the nearby soldiers to help Huang Yi off the gangplank.
After experiencing the most painful night in his life, Huang Yi finally stepped onto the deck. "Ugh!" After a long boo, Huang Yi's legs, which were full of the smell of urine, went limp. He almost fell on the deck, but luckily he was
The two soldiers held on to prevent him from falling.
After Jiang Qin chuckled a few times, he asked again: "Huang Consort, I'm sorry, my subordinate's joke was too big. What do you think? Can you tell me now?"
"Oh!" Huang Yi was not at all arrogant towards Jiang Qin at this moment. He only saw a grateful smile on his face, and he said with a few giggles as if he was reborn: "Actually... probably...
…The general already knows that Yuan Shu was injured in the battle on the beach before the general and others landed!"
"What?"
"Yuan Shu was on the shore at that time?"
The first question was from Jiang Qin, and the second question was from Zu Lang who had been silent until now.
Huang Yi was very satisfied that his topic could attract the attention of the two Cao Jun generals, and immediately followed up: "Yes, yes, in fact, Your Majesty, oh, no, Yuan Shu was there during your first round of surprise attack in the lake.
On his boat!!!”
"What, that ship is a cruise ship, Yuan Shu is going on a trip today?" Zu Lang didn't believe that he missed the best opportunity to directly remove the enemy's leader.
Following Huang Yi's dull nod and the following words, Zulang immediately sent someone to check the largest enemy warship captured after today's raid. Soon, judging from the feedback information, there were dragon paintings inside the ship.
The decoration of the wind and the dragon chair that was being moved off the ship by Cao Jun's sailors to be used as firewood proved that it was indeed a cruise ship converted from a warship.
After today's surprise attack, Zu Lang and others did not survey or clean up the largest warship of the Yuan army. They had too many such warships, and they did not care about one more. And the ones who boarded the ship
The big-headed soldier didn't know that it was a dragon chair. He only knew that the interior decoration of the ship was good. He picked out the ones he picked, dismantled them, and transported them back to his warship. And because the dragon chair was made of fine materials and strong, it almost didn't work.
The soldiers of Cao's army used it as wood and burned it.
After learning such important information, under the leadership of Jiang Qin, they immediately focused on Yuan Shu's injury and conducted a new round of interrogation on Huang Yi. Zu Lang quickly found out the man he saw who was killed by many enemy soldiers.
The leader of the surrounding area was Yuan Shu, who was also accidentally injured in the subsequent stone-throwing attack.
But even Huang Yi was not very clear about the extent of his injuries. Because Huang Yi was fighting with Zu Lang's landing troops at that time, when he looked back at where Yuan Shu was standing, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Shu being lifted onto his horse by the guards and leaving in a hurry.
.Huang Yi also learned about Yuan Shu's injury based on Yuan Shu's figure unable to sit upright on the horse and the report from a guard. As for the severity of the injury and whether it was fatal, Huang Yi did not know.
After Huang Yi was taken into custody, Jiang Qin immediately held a military meeting to deal with this new situation and study new subordinates. However, as soon as the meeting began, Zu Lang asked him for military justice.
Because Zu Lang blamed himself for being competitive for a while, he missed the opportunity to pursue Yuan Shu. Not only did he mistook the vanguard troops at that time for accidentally encountering Yuan Jun's naval forces training in the lake, but he also violated normal rules because he was laughed at by his subordinates.
The pursuit strategy was to first encircle and annihilate the enemy troops on the small boat, but not to divide the troops to step up the pursuit of the big boat, which resulted in the loss of the opportunity to capture Yuan Shu in the lake.
Zu Lang believed that he had an unshirkable responsibility for losing such a good opportunity, so he asked Jiang Qin to punish him.
Jiang Qin was very generous in this matter and believed that Zu Lang should not be subject to any military law. Zu Lang missed an opportunity to capture Yuan Shu, but then they accidentally injured him! This was just a small incident.
The fault was insignificant! Jiang Qin was even prepared to ignore this matter in the battle report sent to Cao Zhi.
Jiang Qin and Zu Lang had worked together under Cao Zhi for many years, and had known each other in the army. They had worked together for many years and got along well with each other. Jiang Qin even admired Zu Lang's true nature as a man who would rather die than surrender after he was captured.
Later, when Danyang was in crisis, Zu Lang stepped forward to help them. This act of righteousness made many generals in Cao's army favor Zu Lang.
Zu Lang's status in Cao's army has always been no lower than that of any veteran who followed Cao Zhi. Jiang Qin himself was from a rough background, and he cherished heroes and cherished them. Therefore, when punishing Zu Lang for delaying the military plane, Jiang Qin
Deciding to handle it at his own discretion, Jiang Qin even believed that even if Cao Zhi were in his position, he would be lenient with Zu Lang.
