Shaobo is just a small town in the south of the Yangtze River that grew up due to the canal. Except for a few necessary Chaoguan soldiers and government officials, there is not a single soldier in the town.
A large number of unknown boats suddenly appeared on the canal. As soon as they came up, they surrounded the dock in a fan shape. They were dressed in black and had soldiers hidden inside. They killed everyone on sight.
The guards Liu Ke left here did not expect that during the Taiping years, there would be thousands of thieves brazenly attacking the officers and soldiers' garrison.
In a moment of panic, the thieves rushed into the inner perimeter without even setting up a basic defensive formation. When the fire broke out, the entire dock immediately became chaotic.
Jia Shiyi looked at the breached defense line and immediately summoned more than fifty soldiers on the entire ship. The crossbows, shield bearers, long soldiers, and short blades were arranged in categories. He tried his best to make use of them and arranged for two people to do so. Hurry up and head north.
"Brother Eleven, Uncle Shao is too far away, so we should send a letter to Yangzhou. If that doesn't work, Brother Eleven will take Miss Lin and the others to take the overland route to avoid the situation. I will lead someone to cut off the rear!"
Jia Wuyi glanced around and saw that the thief was already close. The crossbow arrow in his hand was instantly activated and he was shot off the boat with one arrow.
If they couldn't defend it, the opponent was obviously well prepared, but the cavalry guards Liu Ke left behind were careless and were caught off guard.
Not only did they not have a numerical advantage, but they were not prepared at all. As soon as the fight started, someone took the opportunity to jump into the water and escape...
Sure enough, the peace has lasted for too long, and these military masters have really become masters!
Jia Shiyi took a look at the situation on the shore and saw that the town was already full of beacon fire. This group of thieves may have been eyeing this place for a long time and planned to kill them all without leaving a single person alive.
"Wuyi, tell your brothers, put on your armor and wait for help!"
"Gather the cavalry troops around and tell them that Daxia Xuanwu General Jia Shiyi is here. The fighting here will be taken over by this general. Anyone who disobeys the general's orders, retreats and escapes will be killed without mercy!"
Water fights in armor, facing death but no life.
Jia Shiyi didn't know how this group of water thieves managed to appear quietly in Shaobo Town, but the target of their attack was obviously towards their ship. The purpose was self-evident, as it was exactly what was originally carried on the ship. The Jia brothers and Daiyu.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Three cannon shots were heard from the shore, and two warships belonging to the governor's office caught fire and exploded. Jia Shiyi narrowed his eyes and his expression became more solemn.
Damn it! This is an artillery piece only owned by the army. These people are pretending to be the army!
"Come here, collect the surrounding ships and block them between the artillery and our ship. Who will destroy those artillery pieces for me!"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
"I am coming too!"
"Take me one!"
…
Crunch!
When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw Daiyu walking out of the cabin wearing a bright red cloak and holding a wild goose feather sword in her arms.
Although the nine-year-old girl tried to remain calm, her pale face and the bloody marks on her lips still revealed her nervousness.
"Miss Lin, it's dangerous here, please go back to the cabin to take shelter..."
Daiyu shook her head and bowed to everyone: "I am the daughter of the Lin family and the future daughter-in-law of the Jia family. How can I hide in the cabin and watch the soldiers fighting bloody battles outside and be indifferent? It's a pity that I don't have the power to tie a chicken. I can’t move my bows and arrows, I can’t lift my swords and guns, I can only beat the drums to cheer you on.”
“If you live, I will live; if you die, I will die!”….
The seemingly thin little girl was determined. The murderous wind on the canal raised the cloak Daiyu wore, and the blood-red color aroused everyone's fighting spirit.
Jia Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked into Daiyu's eyes with admiration.
The mistress is so lucky! The general has good eyesight!
The girl from the Lin family has lived in the mansion for three years, and today she is really impressed by Eleven.
The weak-mannered girl Lin actually has such fierce moments!
"Come here, bring a war drum to our future third mistress. Today we will fight to the death and vow to kill the enemy!"
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
Boom! Dong dong dong dong...
The drumstick was very heavy, but Daiyu seemed to have endless power and beat the drum with all her strength.
The sound of drums attracted the panicked cavalrymen around them, and the battle group gradually gathered towards Daiyu's ship. Jia Shiyi had gathered the 300 cavalrymen who still had the will to fight, plus the 50 cavalrymen he led. Several Rongguo Mansion soldiers and generals formed a defensive formation and temporarily blocked the first wave of attacks.
boom!
There was a sudden loud noise on the shore, and a huge fireball illuminated the entire dock. The drumstick in Daiyu's hand paused for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and beat the war drum again.
The sound of enemy artillery finally stopped, but no one on the ship was happy at all.
This is what a dozen brothers paid for with their lives!
…
"Report!"
"There is an urgent report from Yangzhou. Duke Pardon and Duke Lin blockaded the city of Yangzhou at night and arrested many officials and unscrupulous salt merchants from the Yangzhou magistrate's office..."
"The Duke of Pardon inspected the city defense of Yangzhou and found that more than a thousand city guards were missing. After investigation, it was found that these more than a thousand people left the city to the north in the name of patrol this morning... The Duke of Pardon was worried that there was fraud among them, so he ordered the general to come. Report!"
As soon as they landed on the island, which was almost flattened by bombardment, the messenger from Yangzhou arrived.
After reading the emergency report, Liu Ke immediately thought that more than 500 people were missing in Shaobo Lake.
"broken!"
He slapped his thigh and looked at Jia Cong, who was holding Jia Lian bent over and vomiting. He had a very bad guess in his mind.
When they came up with Jiangnan Salt Class again, the other party also came up with theirs again.
Jia Cong and others may have been targeted when they left the city!
"Jia Lian, Jia Cong, there are changes in Yangzhou!"
Marching at night, whether by boat or horse, involves great risks.
But neither Liu Ke nor the Jia brothers dared to bet on whether the enemy would go to Shaobo Town for a sneak attack.
Jia Lian led five hundred light cavalry and went south along the official road, while Jia Cong led a thousand navy drums and sails, heading south at full speed to support.
Liu Ke looked at the retreating troops and felt regretful in his heart.
It was over. No matter what happened to the Lin girl this time, he bet that Jia Enhou would definitely stop him and beat him up.
The gains from this battle were huge, but he had trapped all the children of Jia Lin's family into it, and he even felt that the gains were not worth the losses.
…
Dong dong dong...
With Jia Shiyi's command, the originally messy defense became tighter.
The cavalry soldiers had been floating on the water for a long time, but they were still stronger than this group of thieves in black in the water battle. The battle lasted from midnight to dawn.
Both sides were very tired from the fight, and the leader of the other side seemed to be more eager than Jia Shiyi, urging his men to launch waves of continuous attacks. ….
The bows and arrows of both sides have long been used up, the artillery has been destroyed, and the two sides have fought in close combat no less than ten times. Daiyu's cabin has long been turned into a sick camp. Jinse, Li, and Wang, two nuns, led the maids and wives. Help bandage and apply medicine.
Standing next to the war drum, Daiyu's legs had already become weak, and her delicate palms were already dripping with blood. But even though she had no strength left, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
As soon as the enemy attacks, she will slam the drumstick against the drum head with all her strength.
"Miss Lin, you go and take a rest first. The general is still here and the drums won't stop!"
Jia Shiyi's young apprentice Laifu tried to persuade her several times, but Daiyu always shook her head and refused. It was the same this time. I raised my eyes and looked at the eastern sky that had just glowed with light, enduring the pain in my palms.
Daiyu gritted her teeth and said, "The Gusu Lin family, the fifth generation of nobles, the daughter of the Lin family, how can we say we should retire?"
Woo woo woo...
As soon as the words fell, the horn sounded again.
Daiyu touched the Yanling knife with a warm jade handle, and her pale and pretty face became determined again.
Brother Cong told me to wait for him to come back!
Boom, boom, boom!
The war drums were beaten again, and the soldiers who had just rested for less than a quarter of an hour climbed up from the deck, gripped their swords, and waited quietly for the fight to come.
Buzz!
Ding!
An arrow grazed Daiyu's messy bun, took away a strand of hair, and plunged into the wooden board beside her.
Laifu screamed and wanted to block Daiyu behind him. But he saw that Daiyu had already gritted her teeth and beat the war drum hard, without even looking at the feather arrow.
"Keep beating the drums. If the drums stop beating, the morale of the soldiers will be lost!"
The two armies are in an anxious stalemate, and our own side is at a disadvantage, so we can only fight for the military's moral perseverance.
Why would she stand up, risking swords and flying arrows? It was because under siege, only she, the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the future third mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, stood within sight of the soldiers, could she do her best to stabilize the morale of the army.
Standing still and waiting for help is the only and most correct way for her to survive now.
"Dancing!"
Jia Shiyi gave the order, and dozens of long-swordsmen who had been prepared jumped onto the ship that the opponent was attacking.
This group of warriors, who were ready to die in battle, unexpectedly turned from defense to attack and charged into the enemy camp.
The shouts of death and screams were loud in an instant, the oars were stretched out, and the Jia family's soldiers used all their strength to push the enemy ship away.
They cannot rescue their brothers who are trapped in the opponent's battle formation, so they try their best to delay time and strive for rescue that may be difficult to obtain.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Fire the arrow!"
It's finally dawn!
A cavalry suddenly appeared on the pier, and the cavalry team of hundreds of people fired crossbows and arrows, covering the enemy on the west side of the battlefield.
Jia Lian finally arrived!
Five hundred fresh troops suddenly joined the battle, and the thieves' offensive slowed down instantly.
Jia Shiyi looked towards the shore and saw the big word "Qi" written on the flag carried by the cavalry.
He immediately shouted: "It's reinforcements, it's General Qi!"
There was an old man standing on the bow of a large boat outside.
He angrily cursed: "A bunch of trash can't break through the defense of less than 500 people in one night. Immediately send an order to attack again and push out our artillery... Since we can't catch anyone alive, then send Jia away My little boy went to the river to feed the fish!"
The middle-aged scholar on the side quickly persuaded: "Lord Buddha! The leader said that we must capture them alive!"
"What are you trying to capture? Didn't you see the reinforcements arriving? After fighting all night, the surrounding state capitals may have received the news. Don't you want the army to take our heads to collect the reward? Fire the cannon and sink the ship. Boat!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
Boom! There was a crunching sound, and the old man and the middle-aged scholar felt their feet shaking for a while, and then there was a violent sound of wood breaking all around.
"Rush over and sink them!"
Jia Cong commanded the fleet of warships to directly enter the battlefield. The navy's large and sturdy warships were like sharp swords. After the artillery opened the way, they plunged into the local fleet camp.
He ignored where the local commanders were, and ignored the enemies who fell into the water and were struggling in the canal. He directed the boat he was riding to approach Daiyu at full speed.
Daiyu could no longer feel her arms. She waved the drumsticks resolutely and mechanically until Jia Shiyi's surprised shout suddenly sounded in her ears.
"The mistress! The mistress is back with reinforcements!"
