After Yu Dayou spread the news, he still didn't leave.
This is not suspicious, because as the commander-in-chief of Beiwa, if he wants to temporarily leave the coastal front line, he must make a lot of arrangements.
Xiao Qin also expected this, so after he got the news, he began to race against time, quickly deploying his manpower and preparing to intercept.
After receiving the letter from the emissary, Xiao Qin only read two lines and smiled with satisfaction. Gu Yue'er hadn't seen Xiao Qin so happy for a long time, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Qin, is there any good news?"
Xiao Qin nodded: "As expected, Yan Shifan still has cards in his hand. I don't need to force him on this matter, I'm afraid he won't tell me for a while."
Gu Yue'er glanced at the letter, frowned and said, "Then are we going to find this Luo Wenlong? Brother Qin, our manpower has almost been mobilized.
Yu Dayou should have made almost all arrangements and may set off at any time. It might be too late to ask them to make new plans. "
Xiao Qin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Although we can't join forces together, we still have to send someone to find him and ask him to do peripheral harassment.
I have heard that this Luo Wenlong has a close relationship with the Japanese pirates and has many contacts with Wang Zhi. It's just that the dragon has seen its beginning but not its end.
If we can find him this time, we will have no problem cooperating with the Japanese pirates. Even Wang Zhi will be tied to our ship sooner or later! "
Xiao Qin smiled and read the letter. Suddenly, his whole body froze and his brows furrowed deeply. He was rarely so surprised. Gu Yue'er was startled and quickly read the letter below.
"According to Yan Shifan, there is a rumor in the capital that Xiao Feng used fluids from his mouth, tongue, and body fluids to treat Princess Chang'an, which may have the intention of treating the princess. Because the holy envoy ordered Xiao Feng to report everything in detail, he recorded it."
Gu Yue'er spat: "What's the point of treating a disease? He is obviously a filthy and shameless person. Brother Qin, you still say he is so good and so good!"
Xiao Qin's expression changed again and again, and his mind was spinning rapidly. He picked up the pen to write a reply, and his hands were shaking a little.
"No matter the cost, investigate Princess Chang'an's medical records!"
After he finished writing, he tied it directly to the pigeon's leg without letting Gu Yue'er see it, stretched out his hand to let it fly, and looked back at Gu Yue'er with a smile.
"It's nothing. As a young man, it's normal to be ridiculous. Aren't all men like this?"
Gu Yue'er looked at him coquettishly. Doesn't that mean you are a man too? Why don't you act like this? Are you too old?
Yu Dayou finally set off. He led a team of 200 people and ten carts, all locked with iron chains, and walked toward the capital in a mighty manner.
Of course, because the roads along the coast are winding, they are not always in one direction. For example, when they first set out, they needed to go east first.
Yu Dayou did not dare to set up an ambush in advance because he knew that the White Lotus Sect had many eyes and ears. Even in his own camp, he could not absolutely guarantee that none of the soldiers had anything to do with the White Lotus Sect.
It was also impossible for him to take more people on the road, because that would alert the snake, and the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole would be in vain.
Secondly, he was not allowed to do that on this mission, otherwise the court would suspect that he was a border general causing trouble and wanted to lead troops to attack the capital, so 200 people was the limit he could lead.
However, he also calculated in his mind that although the White Lotus cultists are widely distributed, their population density is not large, and most of them have mediocre skills. The combat effectiveness they can gather in a hurry cannot be higher than these two million carefully selected soldiers. .
In addition, because the Japanese pirates hated Yu Dayou deeply, in order to prevent the Japanese pirates from taking advantage of the situation, Yu Dayou launched two extremely brutal raids in advance, driving away at least all the Japanese pirates within a radius of thirty miles.
Many of these two hundred elite soldiers have followed Yu Dayou for many years and were trained by Yu Dayou himself. Although they are not experts, they are also very powerful in combat.
What's more, since the master clearly pointed out the ambush location and it was not far from the mobile camp, there was a lot to write about.
To fight against Japanese pirates, it is difficult to establish a particularly fixed camp because the Japanese pirates themselves are highly mobile. Therefore, the camps of the troops specialized in fighting against Japanese pirates are also mobile and dispersed.
The terrible thing is that when fighting in coastal areas, the cavalry is very restricted, the road conditions are not good, and the Ming Dynasty's cavalry is not rich, so they have to stay in the north to fight the nomads.
Therefore, Yu Dayou had very few cavalry and could only be used as communication troops. The main force was infantry.
In the eyes of the cavalry, the journey of ten miles and eight miles is a matter of the blink of an eye, but for the infantry, it requires a rapid march. Not only is it time-consuming, but when you actually run, you will be out of breath, and it is easy to be beaten by others. Waiting for work with ease.
This is also the reason why the total number of Ming troops along the coast clearly far exceeds that of the Japanese pirates, but when a war actually starts, the numbers are often close and cannot form a large numerical advantage.
Not long after Yu Dayou left the camp, urgent military intelligence came to report that a group of Japanese pirates had invaded from the sea and were burning, killing and looting ten miles away to the west. It was said that there were many people.
The lieutenant general who stayed behind hesitated for a while, but still ordered the troops to attack the Japanese pirates. At the same time, he sent messengers to notify other nearby camps to provide support.
Yu Dayou's team marched eight miles and arrived at a land with lush vegetation and sparsely populated areas. After passing here, not far further is the official road.
Yu Dayou was riding on his horse, scanning the surrounding shrubs and tall grass, and smiled faintly: "Ready the bow and arrow!"
These two hundred soldiers all had long knives in their belts and bows and arrows on their backs. When they heard the order, they immediately picked up their bows and nocked arrows. Yu Dayou didn't care whether there was an ambush in the bushes or not, he pointed at the possible hiding place and gave the order.
"Shrubs, grass, anywhere you can't see through, cum for me!"
The soldiers were stunned, what are they doing? But the military order was like a mountain. They immediately bent their bows and arrows, aimed at those places that could not be seen clearly, and fired a volley.
Several screams rang out, and many people rushed out of the bushes. At this time, Yu Dayou's team was still a hundred steps away from the ambush. The people in the ambush never dreamed that they would suddenly release arrows. Could it be that we didn't hide enough?
The soldiers were also shocked when they saw someone rushing out, but they were all experienced in many battles. Without waiting for Yu Dayou's order, they naturally drew their bows again quickly and fired out another shower of arrows!
The charging crowd waved their swords to block the arrows, but those with slightly inferior martial arts were unable to block them, and several fell down again. Xiao Qin's face was ashen, she stretched out her hand to grab an arrow and flew it back. It was even faster than a strong bow!
The arrows shot straight towards Yu Dayou's horse with a whistling sound. Xiao Qin had no intention of shooting at Yu Dayou because he knew that with such a long distance, the arrow he threw could not threaten Yu Dayou, but the horse was different.
The horse's target was large and its movement was slow. Yu Dayou did not have a long weapon in his hand to protect the man and the horse. Xiao Qin wanted to see Yu Dayou's coping ability so that he could know more about Yu Dayou before the real fight.
Yu Dayou reached out and pulled out an arrow from the quiver on the back of the soldier closest to him. He didn't have time to pick up the bow, and it flew out too!
Xiao Qin shot first, but at a distance, and Yu Dayou shot later, but at a close distance. Their arrows collided three steps in front of the horse, and they both broke with a click!
Xiao Qin nodded secretly. His arrow flew far away, while Yu Dayou's arrow flew closer and broke at the same time, indicating that Yu Dayou's internal strength was half as good as his own. But he was shooting horses, while Yu Dayou was shooting his own arrows, and his accuracy was half as good as his!
A hundred steps away, there were three arrows. In the blink of an eye, the three arrows were shot, and the White Lotus cultists had already rushed in front of them. The two hundred soldiers threw their long bows on the ground, drew their swords with their backhands, and pounced on the opponents who rushed forward crazily.
The White Lotus Sect spent a lot of money this time and gathered all the believers they could gather from nearby branches. Together, they gathered more than 200 people. Four rounds of arrows just now (and one more round during the ambush) killed more than 50 people. At this time, the number of people on both sides was close, and it was almost a one-on-one brutal fight.
The advantage of the Two Hundred Soldiers is that they are battle-hardened and remain calm in times of crisis; while the White Lotus Cultists have the advantage of being rebellious all year round, living life with their heads in their hands, and having extremely strong psychological quality.
Xiao Qin turned a blind eye to the brutal fighting in front of her, and did not go towards Yu Dayou at all, but went straight to the ten carts. He knew that Yu Dayou would naturally come to stop him.
Xiao Qin was followed by a White Lotus cultist, who was taller than the others and as strong as a black bear, holding a huge hammer in his hand.
.
He was bulky and the arrows that were shot at him were blocked by Xiao Qin for him. This was when he came into use. He raised the hammer high and slammed it down on the first cart!
Yu Dayou jumped off his horse, rushed through the fighting crowd, and went straight to Xiao Qin and the big man with the hammer. Several soldiers waved their swords to stop them, but Xiao Qin knocked them down with his palms. Some of them vomited blood, and some of them were killed.
The hammer hit the car body, and the sturdy carport was immediately shattered into pieces and scattered in all directions. Two of the soldiers hidden in the car were killed on the spot, but the others had already filled their bows and arrows and shot them at close range!
At this time, Yu Dayou had also rushed in front of Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin knocked down two arrows with a wave of his hand, and the remaining arrow shot directly into the chest and abdomen of the big man. However, the big man was wearing leather armor, so the arrow failed to seriously injure him. , roared angrily, and hammered down again.
The soldiers jumped out of the car, abandoned their bows and brandished their swords, and joined the battle group. The big man obviously got a clear order and ran straight towards the second cart instead of pursuing him.
His huge body and heavy hammer made the ground tremble slightly when he ran. The soldiers standing in front of him kept slashing at him, but they were unable to seriously injure him. Instead, they were knocked away by his hammer.
Yu Dayou and Xiao Qin faced each other, and neither of them dared to distract themselves from other matters. The two men who may have been the ceiling of the Ming Dynasty's combat power finally stood face to face.
Just like two tigers that suddenly met in the mountains and forests, no one dared to act rashly on the edge of their own territory, but this battle was inevitable.
Suddenly, a line of white smoke shot up into the sky and made an explosion. It was the thunder from Longhu Mountain, which was ejected into the sky by the soldiers hiding on it!
Xiao Qin smiled slightly: "You were indeed prepared in advance, and you also knew that we were hiding here. I guess it was just like the boat, my brother Feng figured it out? Unfortunately, the reinforcements you wanted will not come."
Yu Dayou also smiled: "I know, you allowed the Japanese pirates to temporarily invade and lure away my nearest camp. But it is only a matter of time before the reinforcements arrive. I can delay it, but can you?"
Xiao Qin said calmly: "There are no other camps nearby. It will take half an hour for the nearest reinforcements to arrive at the fastest. By then, only your bodies will be left here."
Yu Dayou's tone was even calmer than his: "I know you're setting up an ambush here, but I still don't avoid it, just to catch you all in one fell swoop.
The master said that the White Lotus Sect usually does not catch turtles, so it is impossible to catch them without scented bait. The Japanese pirates attacking today are Yan Shifan's coastal forces, right?
You think you are using your plan to control Yan Shifan's hidden power, but you don't know that my master is playing your plan into his plan!
I haven't gone very far. If the deputy general didn't have my order in advance, would he not contact me and just lead the troops to fight? "
Xiao Qin's eyes turned cold. She didn't know whether what Yu Dayou said was true or not, but if it was true, she would have to win this action!
Not only must he win, he must win quickly, otherwise he and Luo Wenlong may suffer heavy losses!
With a bang, the sound of the second cart being smashed was like a war drum, and the two of them moved together!
Xiao Qin was still bare-handed, approaching like a ghost, but Yu Dayou immediately pulled out his sword.
What the hell are the rules of the world, go to hell! I will kill you for Master today!
