The narrow canal between Linhe and Chaoguan was a perfect place for an ambush. The Nanhai Navy fleet, caught between two tongues of flames, had no place to hide.
The flames at both ends gradually spread to the middle. The artillery on both sides of the strait poured out shells as if they were free, and a large number of bows and crossbows supplemented the firepower network...
"Tsk, tsk, as expected, all the fear comes from the lack of firepower. The Nanhai Navy is nothing more than that!"
Jia Cong wanted to go and fire the gun himself, but unfortunately Jia Shisan didn't give him this chance at all. He grabbed the little fat man by the back of his neck and let him kick his short legs without letting go.
Are you kidding me? If the cannon fires red and explodes, he, a retainer of the Jia family, should commit suicide and apologize.
Round after round of artillery roared, and round after round of crossbow bolts were covered. For two quarters of an hour, everyone within a three-mile radius of Linhe Chaoguan could smell the smell of burning kerosene and the stench of burnt meat. .
The roaring artillery exploded, making the people hiding in the house tremble. How could the artillery fire last for so long in peacetime?
Shen Lang looked at the scene in the river, and then at the howling Jia Cong, and couldn't help but want to stay away from this little devil star.
However, he was still thinking about important things and moved to Jia Cong's side: "I think it's almost done. Should we stop the bombardment, cover up and capture the Huo family and his party?"
"Ah? The old general still wants to capture him alive?"
No wonder Shen Lang is only a third-grade military general at such an old age. Who among those who share the pot with him is not a second-grade officer? No expression!
Jia Cong shook his head: "No, if you take the Huo family to the capital, wouldn't that cause trouble to the saint and your majesty?"
Shen Lang asked in confusion: "How do you say that?"
Jia Cong asked in return: "What does the old general think the saint and your majesty should do with the Huo family being escorted back to the capital?"
"You still have to ask? Kill!"
Shen Lang's answer was not what Jia Cong expected. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We can't kill him! The four kings with different surnames in the east, west, south, and north can be said to be prosperous and destructive. They will try their best to save the lives of the Huo family. Cutting down the vassal is the most important thing. The good time has passed, and now there is a vague trend of instability in all directions. The most important thing in the palace is to seek stability."
Boom boom boom...
The artillery was still roaring, Jia Cong looked at the dense fire in the river with mocking eyes, and said quietly: "Let us make the most appropriate decision for the Second Saint, and let the entire Huo family stay here!"
After figuring out the true nature of the bandits in the capital, the four gates of the capital were opened wide, and teams of elite Forbidden Army troops quickly rushed in all directions and began a large-scale campaign to suppress the bandits.
This sudden bandit riot swollen the faces of the palace, the cabinet center and the military commanders in the capital. Every civil and military official related to it was holding back their strength, including the princes and counts who personally led the troops to attack. No fewer than five.
Among them, Jia Jing, who had no official title, was appointed by Emperor Liu Heng as a temporary Dragon Guard commander with the title of Tongzhi, and led three thousand Dragon Guards to attack Fahua Temple in the east of the city.
When Jia Jing led the army to the vicinity of Fahua Temple, more than a thousand bandits, including Japanese pirates, water bandits, and homeless thieves, were storming the high-walled compound of Fahua Temple.
The gate of the temple has been blown to pieces by the two cannons of the water bandits. If Jia Shiyi hadn't been prepared and moved a large amount of stone and wood to block the door, the bandits would have rushed into the temple long ago. .
"Wow wow wow!"
"Japanese pirates?"
Jia Jiu immediately raised his sword, raised it high and shouted, "Brothers, follow me into the battle!"
Under the leadership of Jia Jiu, an iron cavalry composed of fifty Jia family soldiers rushed straight into the central army of the rebels. On the pole embroidered with the black flag of Hydra, there were dozens of dwarfs shouting commands. fighting.
"kill!"
The advantages of the cavalry are clearly demonstrated in this vast and flat land of Gyeonggi Province. The tall horses wear light armor on the front. With a single collision, they can knock away the chaotic bandits who want to resist, and are instantly penetrated by the cavalry squad.
At the end of the path paved with blood, Jia Jiu shouted: "Death!"
With a wave of the long knife in his hand, under the black flag of Hydra, the head of the short man wearing an ugly mask was separated, and a stream of blood flew into the sky.
Behind him, Jia Eryi is in Vietnam
When they passed by, a Pegasus came to catch the fish and picked up the man's head: "The thief's head is dead, the thief's head is dead, the thief's head is dead!"
Jia Jiu turned around and swung his sword again, and Hydra Black Flag fell to the ground instantly!
As a result, the already disorganized bandits became even more panicked, and there were many people who wanted to scatter and escape. Unfortunately, the Dragon Guards did not give them a chance to escape.
"Jing Gong, your family's personal soldiers are interesting. Shouldn't they say that the leader of the thief is already dead, so why not kill him? The second part of the sentence was not mentioned at all!" Chinese website
Cao Jiugong, who came with the army, clicked his tongue a few times and smiled.
Jia Jing leisurely replied: "They have already rebelled, so what are they doing with these scum? Are they celebrating the New Year?"
Surrender? He never said these two words again when he went to the grassland to charge into battle!
The soldiers of the Jia family raised the head of the bandit leader high, and charged back and forth in the bandits' camp with the bloody head, smashing the bandits' formation to pieces with zero casualties.
The well-equipped Dragon Guards completely killed the bandits around Fahua Temple in less than half an hour, leaving not even a single prisoner behind.
In response to Jia Jing's words, they all rebelled. What are you doing to recruit these scum? Kill them all!
When Jia Jing and Cao Jiu led their troops to the front gate of Fahua Temple, Jia Shiyi had already asked people to remove the debris blocking the door, grinning innocently: "Old patriarch, I didn't expect you to come in person. ! Ninth brother, Twenty-one Lang, the charge just now was really exciting, but it’s a pity that I am not in the team..."
"Hahaha……"
Jia Jing, who was usually serious about his words, laughed loudly, slapped Jia Shiyi on the shoulder several times, and praised: "Well done, with three hundred soldiers, he blocked the thieves from attacking several times. You are worthy of the saint's personal seal of Xuanwu." General!"
Being praised like this by Jia Jing, Jia Shiyi almost grinned behind his ears and giggled.
At this time, Xia Lingxing and other noble relatives and relatives in the capital who had been hiding in the Main Hall came out one after another. The smell of blood in the air made many people who had not been killed feel nauseated.
On the other hand, the elegant Xia Lingxing had such an expression on his face that he even took a deep breath and sighed: "That's what it smelled like in the Shuangquanhai Tatar Khan Tent..."
"Mr. Xia still remembers this. When I go to the Tatar Khan tent next time, Mr. Xia must go with me!"
Jia Jingzuo bowed and said, "Student, please pay homage to Master Xia!"
Xia Lingxing stepped forward to help Jia Jing up, and smiled: "You kid... can no longer be called a kid. Zhi Gong (my name for Jia Jing is Fei~), how is the situation in Beijing? The Huo family is blocked. ?」
"When the students arrived, there was no news yet. However, His Majesty has issued an order to put all areas of Gyeonggi and Shandong on alert, and all military guards in Gyeonggi have been dispatched. The Huo family must not be allowed to escape!"
The exchange between the two caused the relatives and nobles in the rear to talk about it. Some people couldn't help it and asked: "Mr. What's wrong?"
Cao Jiugong, who was standing silently on the side, said leisurely: "Huo An seduced Qiu Tong, the commander of the Zuotun Guards in Yingzhou, to rebel, and colluded with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates to disrupt the capital and encourage the Huo family to escape from the capital. The Huo family has rebelled!"
boom!
This is definitely shocking news. Several of these noble relatives have had good relations with the Huo family for generations, and one family even married a daughter of the Huo family...
hiss! Another headache.
Except for the main gate of Fahua Temple being destroyed and a few less important buildings burned, not even a single monk or novice was injured.
On the contrary, more than twenty young men who had been recruited to take refuge in the temple and the personal guards of each family were killed in the battle, and nearly a hundred were injured.
One of the guards of the Jia family was injured in the shoulder by an enemy's bow and arrow, but the rest was unharmed. The most serious problem was that he had used excessive force after fighting for a long time.
Daiyu and the two maids were put into the carriage, and they rushed to the capital with the nobles who were seeking refuge in the temple under the protection of the Dragon Guards, while Jia Jing rushed to Tongzhou with hundreds of elite cavalry.
The four gates of the capital finally opened after noon. When Daiyu returned to Rongguo Mansion, several little sisters hugged her and cried and laughed, especially
Xichun, like an octopus, hugged Daiyu tightly and refused to let go.
After finally coaxing Xiao Xichun, and briefly freshening up, Daiyu rushed to Rongxi Hall to meet Jia Mu.
This time, Jia Mu was indeed frightened. She put aside the Lin family's plot in her heart. After all, it was her granddaughter. Lin Ruhai had obviously caught the emperor's eye. Officials of the two dynasties, the Jia family must not let their daughter be around. Something happened in the capital.
After hugging Daiyu and crying for a long time, Jia Mu wiped the tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief and cursed: "It's all that little devil's fault for insisting on taking you to burn incense outside the city... By the way, Where are the others? Have you forgotten all the etiquette and rules? Don’t you even come home to see me, your own grandmother?”
Daiyu secretly sighed that Brother Cong was innocent of taking the blame. It was the old lady who appointed Jia Cong to protect her for the incense...
"Grandma, Brother Cong was ordered to go to Tongzhou, but no news has come back yet."
Hearing Daiyu's answer, Jia's mother was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "He is a little kid, what kind of fate does he deserve when there is so much chaos outside? Whose fate? Aren't you afraid of risking his life?"
Jia Mu's words made Daiyu feel extremely harsh, and the original smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she said seriously: "When we took refuge in Fahua Temple, Mr. Xia, the former Minister of Rites, took charge of the temple's defense. Uncle Eleven was ordered to command the battle. Cong Brother took the order and rushed to Tongzhou overnight to contact the Tongzhou garrison to stop the Huo family and his party who wanted to escape to the coast of the South China Sea!"
"Summer trip? It's him..."
Just as Jia Mu finished her sentence, she suddenly stood up and said in fear: "What did you say? The Huo family is fleeing to the coast of Nanhai? The Huo family of Nan'an Prince's Palace?"
Seeing Jia Mu's reaction was so great, it was hard for Daiyu to understand.
She nodded and asked doubtfully: "It was the Huo family of the original Prince of Nan'an. The rebellion in the capital was caused by Huo An instigating Qiu Tong from Zuotun Guard in Yingzhou to rebel, and colluding with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates to cause chaos in the capital, so as to attract the court. Attention, in order to support the Huo family's escape. Grandma, what are you..."
"Brother Cong went to Tongzhou to contact soldiers and horses and planned to block the Huo family?"
After receiving the exact answer, Mother Jia slumped down on her chair and murmured, "I hope Brother Cong won't kill me, otherwise our family will be cut off from the founding lineage!"
