Nie Qi was not arrogant from beginning to end, because the horse infantry that followed him were led by two commanders, Wang Kanghe, and they were also newly recruited soldiers by himself as the training envoy of the Daozhou regiment.
These people are a manifestation of the support of Nie Jiabao from several major families in Daozhou. Although their circumstances are different now, they are all subordinates under the jurisdiction of Daozhou.
Logically speaking, the Nie family can naturally dominate Daozhou. Although everyone is on an equal footing under the management of the Han State, because the Daozhou Ma Bujun is managed by a branch of the Nie family, everyone naturally understands.
If someone from the Nie family thought that it would be good for King Gui to send someone to help now, how could he dare to arrange what others should do. However, Nie Huzi insisted on his own opinion. After all, it was not King Gui who submitted to Daozhou, but the court of Prince Xing's Mansion.
Besides, although the bandits in Chu are fierce, there are not many chances for Daozhou to actually fight against the bandits. Everyone also understood that this was obviously inseparable from Niejiabao, one of the three major fortresses in Chudi.
Now Nie Qi, Nie Beard's son-in-law who rides the dragon fast, has become the regimental training envoy of Daozhou City. Whether it is a horse army or an infantry army, they are all Nie Qi's men. The bosses of these families have never dealt with the bandits head-on. Even if they know that the bandits are ferocious, they have only heard about it from the gentlemen in the city.
What's more, this time from Yongzhou to Daozhou, almost everyone was conquered by He Guo, so these families knew that the horse infantry led by each family, as well as the regiment training of all the close families, were not enough in front of others.
Therefore, this recruitment of Nie Qi's troops was promoted. If you add the hundreds of servants of the Nie family and the strong men contributed by the surrounding families, there will be a team of nearly half a thousand soldiers. Although they don't have any substantial fighting power, if they encounter bandits on the plains, they probably won't dare to attack openly. However, because he returned to Yongzhou for training this time, He Xiaoyao assigned ten veteran soldiers to each captain. I believe these people will become a good team in the near future!
Originally he was just going around Daozhou to reverse the zipper, but He Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the secret mission he had received this time. Although he didn't understand Liu Jixing's intention, since it was an urgent task from above, it was better to be prepared.
So he immediately gave an order to Nie Qi and asked Nie Qi's master Gui Yuan, Shen Yuan Gui, to come over and deliver the message. After receiving the order, Nie Qi didn't know that his master was following him all the way. He just rushed here and didn't find anything strange along the way.
Until he came to the nearby river, he didn't find any trouble. Not only did Nie Qi think that he was lucky, but he also thought that no one was so brave along the way. After all, from Wuling to Chuland to Daozhou, there are basically barren mountains and wild ridges. Niejiabao has lived alone in Daozhou for many years. Now the entire Yongzhou has been taken over by He Xiaoyao. The military is far better than before, and all the bandits and bandits have disappeared!
So when he saw the man in black suddenly appearing, he was obviously prepared. However, Nie Qi was not nervous. Instead, he thought it was the best opportunity to train his troops.
The smooth and uneventful journey made Fu Diqing really careless and careless. In order to reach Prince Xing's Mansion as soon as possible, she couldn't care about anything else.
boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly three loud noises were heard, and everyone was almost unsteady on their feet. Then they saw flames shooting into the sky, but something strange happened to a fighting ship behind them.
For a moment, it seemed that everyone stopped at this moment. The explosion was so earth-shattering that the boat standing in front was a little unstable due to the shaking, let alone those sitting in the boat behind.
Many people actually came down because of the loud noise, and those on the shore seemed to have expected it. They sat firmly on their horses, waving the weapons in their hands and screaming strangely.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a fighting ship in the river with flames rising into the sky. Not only were the trees flying and the flames bursting into flames, but what was particularly shocking was that there was actually a distance away from the front, but there was a faint scream after the explosion. The sound kept coming.
Although he still didn't know the reason, Fu Diqing also knew that basic actions must have been restricted. Although I don't know what the current situation of the entire team is, it is obviously that it was carried out at the same time as the previous attack here. Not to mention the damage, the most terrifying thing was the fire. If the fire could not be effectively extinguished, the wooden fighting ship would be destroyed, and the followers on the ship would obviously be in danger.
As for why the people on the shore didn't take action, Fu Diqing didn't care anymore. Facing these fierce black-clothed men, although there were not many in number, their aura was overwhelming and their methods were so powerful that no one like me could compare. Thinking of these people following him, Fu Diqing trembled involuntarily.
"Don't panic, everyone, this is a firearm to kill the enemy!" Seeing that many people on the fighting ship were nervous and wanted to jump off the ship, the one who spoke out was He Liming sent by He Xiaoyao.
Although there were shouts from behind, and even though someone stepped forward to stop them, they could not stop many people from jumping into the river.
Some people were trying to stop them, but seeing everyone trying to escape for their lives, some people started to feel shaken. Especially when they saw Nie Qi, who was in high spirits just now, with a solemn look on his face, these people naturally began to speculate in their hearts.
There was a mess on the boat behind, but the people on both sides of the river remained silent because almost everyone could see it clearly.
Seeing that some men in black were about to escape the siege, before they had time to rejoice, a captain opened his bow and set an arrow, and led some soldiers to shoot down several arrows.
The world became quiet now, and no one dared to run or jump from the fighting ship into the water.
This group of iron cavalry, led by several captains, all pointed their bows and arrows at this direction, staring eagerly at the men in black who did not surrender.
Everyone can see clearly that the arrows used by these iron cavalry are all sharp triangular diamonds, which are so bright and sharp that it is chilling. Presumably, as long as the body is hit by such an arrow, no one can stop the bleeding from the wound.
Unsurprisingly, shouts of death also erupted from every bow of the ship. People here couldn't see the situation clearly, but a man standing on a tree not far from the shore could see clearly.
More than a dozen people held weapons in their hands and rushed directly into the pile of guards. Before the guards could react, the weapons in their hands harvested several corpses. When the guards reacted, they shouted loudly and besieged, and the dozen or so men in black were immediately surrounded separately. Because they are in different battleships. In addition, some people jumped off the ship, and they were immediately pinned firmly to the bow.
The guards on the ship were already suffocated, so naturally they wanted to stab these men in black, and they also saw the cavalry guarding the fighting ship on the shore. Before the man in black could react, he had already been attacked at close range.
With the help of the soldiers led by He Liming, a group of people had already surrounded the men in black. Although there were casualties, the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and these people were completely surrounded.
There are some people who want to escape, but the mission they accept is to attack, and few of them understand the encirclement of the battlefield. When they discovered that the outer circle was blocked by spears and the inner circle was in close combat, everything was in chaos for a while.
When some of them wanted to escape completely, they found that they could no longer escape.
The man standing on the tree watching knew that all this was basically a foregone conclusion, and his eyes actually lit up when he looked at the young man wielding the sword!
