The bandit army that besieged Gudu Wharf was none other than Gaojiacun's old friend Bu Tian Mu.
However, it’s not Bu Zhan Ni’s Ben Ni, but the captain of Bu Zhan Ni’s fifth team, Lao Zhang Fei. After Bu Zhanni led his troops into Shanxi with Wang Jiayin, the eight brigades under his command still acted separately as before and did not often come together.
The fifth team went south along the east bank of the Yellow River and came to Puzhou. They saw that the city of Puzhou was quite large and the city walls were high.
They didn't dare to attack, so they walked around the city, and then they saw a dock that seemed easy to attack.
Lao Zhang Fei gave the order and began to besiege the Yellow River Ancient Ferry Terminal.
As his name suggests, Lao Zhang Fei is a bit old. He is almost fifty years old this year. He has very dark skin and a big beard. He looks a bit rough. This is why he named himself Lao Zhang Fei.
The number of thieves under his command can be said to be too many or too few, numbering three thousand.
This number of people is really too many for a small dock.
The industrialists, merchants, fishermen, and farmers in the dock quickly took up arms and resisted desperately.
It’s interesting to say that there are the largest number of industrial and commercial people on this dock, and businessmen need to travel around, so they are often lightly armed. Each businessman can draw a group of followers, servants, etc., just like Xing Honglang There are forty-two private salt dealers under his command.
These people have very strong fighting power. They have been fighting various bandits for a long time and are far more powerful than ordinary farmers.
So even though the number was much smaller, they actually resisted Lao Zhang Fei for a long time.
This made Lao Zhang Fei a little angry and crazy! Ordered his subordinates to attack more urgently.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing merchant clothes was standing inside the pier. He was slightly fat and had a worried look on his face. His name was "Tie Niao Fei", which was a nickname, not his real name.
Because he is not a serious businessman, but a salt owl.
Puzhou, Shanxi, has been rich in salt owls since ancient times, because it is a very important salt-producing area inland. There is also an ancient text called "Zi Buyu·Puzhou Salt Owl", which specifically tells the story of Puzhou salt owls.
Of course, Yongji Xing Honglang’s name was not mentioned in it, because her father-in-law made her up.
Tie Niao Fei had twenty thugs under his command. Two were dead and six were injured. There were still twelve who were all beards and tails and were desperately shooting arrows at the rebels by the fence.
But Tie Niaofei knew that they couldn't stop him.
There were too many thieves, three thousand in number. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, there were more than a thousand capable soldiers, but there were only a few hundred of them, so it was only a matter of time before they were killed.
Behind him was the rolling Yellow River. There were some fishing boats by the dock, but as soon as the bandits came, those boats were snatched and driven away, leaving those who stayed behind unable to even escape.
It was a last-ditch fight and I had no choice but to risk my life.
Tie Niofei roared at his subordinates: "Kill, kill, kill with all your might, we must kill a few more to get back to our original position."
The twelve subordinates fired arrows and arrows at the bandits with all their might, but the bandits kept getting closer and closer.
At this moment, an injured subordinate lying at Tie Niao Fei's feet said weakly: "Boss... Boss... Look at the river..."
Tie Niao Fei: "The thieves here are about to rush onto the dock. I don't have time to look at the river."
The subordinate shouted with all his strength: "Look...on the river...
Only then did Tie Niaofei sense that something was wrong, and quickly turned back and glanced towards the river.
Far to the north of the river, a ship came. It was still far away, but the shadow of the ship could be seen from such a distance, which meant that it was very big.
If you look closely, you will see that there is a tall ship on the ship, which looks very much like a ship built by officers and soldiers.
"The imperial navy?" Tie Niaofei was overjoyed: "The navy is here to suppress the bandits."
As soon as he said these words, he felt something was wrong.
Even if the imperial navy were to come, they should come from the southeast. How could they come from the north?
No, no, no, it doesn't matter which side you come from. I'm a salt lord and a bad guy that the court wants to arrest and behead. I'm so happy.
Rogue bandits are coming in front, and officers and soldiers are coming behind me. I am going to die no matter what.
At the same time, Xing Honglang on the bow was also looking at the Gudu Pier. Unlike Tie Niao Fei, she could see not only with her eyes, but also with a telescope.
He took out a monocular telescope from his pocket, glanced at Gudu Wharf, and his face darkened: "No, the bandits are attacking Gudu Wharf."
Lao Zhu, the subordinate next to him, came over and said: "Damn it, the bandits actually made trouble in our hometown. That Gudu Wharf is where we made our fortune and made our first pot of gold."
Xing Honglang nodded: "Yes! I even saw an old acquaintance on the pier who often competes with us for business."
Lao Zhu: "Stealing business? Oh! Iron Bird Flying!"
Xing Honglang chuckled twice: "It's that bastard Tie Niao Fei who often plays with me at lower prices, causing my mother to make a lot of money.
Lao Zhu laughed loudly: "What should we do? Watch him being killed by the bandits?"
Xing Honglang gave Lao Zhu a violent shudder: "Shut up! Who am I, Yongji Xing Honglang? Although this group of people often cheats on us, they are still fellow villagers and eat the same food. They are fellows in the world." How can we stand still when we are in trouble? Besides, there are many old friends of ours on the dock.
Lao Zhu: “Then let’s do it!”
Xing Honglang turned to look at the sailors in Baijiabao: "Brothers from Baijiabao, prepare for war. Nagudu Wharf is saved."
The crew members burst out laughing: "That's good!"
"Artillerymen, move quickly."
"I thought I wouldn't have a chance to play with cannons during this trial voyage, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly."
"Practice at a target is not as good as shooting at a real person."
"Wow, brother, your idea is a bit scary.
The sailors in Baijiabao rushed into the cabin quickly while talking to each other, preparing to fire.
After a long period of training, these sailors have already become proficient in loading artillery shells, aiming and shooting. However, practice and actual combat are still two different things after all. As soon as they heard that they were going to fight the bandits, this group of people immediately made a lot of mistakes and became a mess.
"Damn it, don't mess up, don't mess up." The captain, a close servant of Bai Yuan who has experienced the most actual combat, shouted angrily: "Don't load both sides of the ship at the same time, are you stupid? Load one side first, only the east side The cannon on the side of the ship can fire, so install it on the east side first.
The artillerymen suddenly realized and hurriedly rushed to the side of the east ship. The boat was shaken by them, and a group of people were so frightened that they ran over to the other side of the boat to stabilize its balance.
The twenty fishermen "trainee sailors" from Heyang County are now trembling with fear and don't know where to hide.
The captain said angrily to them again: "Are you shaking your ass? Where are the hand crossbows issued to you? Take them out quickly, fasten the arrows, and be ready to shoot at any time."
The forty-two private salt dealers under Xing Honglang all had their swords in their hands and looked at the shore with serious faces, ready to jump ashore and kill people at any time.
