The first few star points seemed to stop as they approached the south bank.
But it can already be seen that these star points should be torches or lanterns on the bow of the ship.
Then there was another fire on the bow of each ship, changing from a point to a line, and then from the line to an image with some special meaning.
"quick!"
Mi Shiyilang saw the image on the river and quickly ordered the people around him.
The few people behind him immediately ran to the water's edge holding torches, waving them desperately.
After meeting the code, the stars on the river continued to sway and gathered in the direction led by the bonfire.
"Wow!"
"winter!"
This is the sound of ships arriving at the shore.
"Boatman, are there any fish?"
"There are no live fish, only salted fish."
"I just like to eat salted fish. How is the quality?"
"White salted fish, red salted fish, miscellaneous salted fish, water salted fish, there are all of them!"
"How many are there?"
"Hundreds!"
The servant who went to join the meeting came back soon and reported to Mi Shiyilang:
"Mr. Lang, there are a lot of goods coming tonight, including salt, brown sugar, wool, and wine! There are a hundred ships in total!"
Before Mi Shiyilang could speak, Wei Bing who was following him was already looking happy.
Some people looked at each other, then one person quietly left and ran towards the city.
"One hundred! Are they all good goods?"
General Wei, who was also anxiously waiting for the news, was first surprised and then delighted when he received the news from his subordinates.
】
"How much is this worth!"
Do the math, do the math quickly!
According to Mi Langjun's generous temperament, how much soup can he get in this trip?
General Wei was already a little confused, his hands were shaking a little, and he couldn't calculate with his fingers.
A hundred ships!
There are so many good goods, even if I can only get a commission from one ship, it will be enough to last for several years.
"Has it been unloaded?"
"Not yet, just connected."
"Come back and visit us soon!"
General Wei quickly gave orders.
"Here."
After the people below left, General Wei walked back and forth at the top of the city, craning his neck to look at the deep night from time to time.
Unfortunately, he could only see more and more dots of fire there.
There seemed to be a faint noise in my ears.
But the specific situation is unknown.
This made him feel like he was being scratched by a hundred claws.
After what seemed like a long wait, footsteps came again:
"General, Mr. Mi Lang wants to see you."
"Please!"
Mi Shiyilang was brought to General Wei and bowed:
"General!"
"how?"
Facing General Wei's anxious gaze, Mi Langjun looked excited in the firelight:
"General, there's too much cargo! There are hundreds of ships worth of cargo, and with just the men under a certain person, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it all night long."
As he spoke, he took two steps closer and lowered his voice:
"General, I have a favor to ask."
General Wei, who had received the news a long time ago, confirmed the news from Mi Shiyilang, and his heart beat wildly:
"Mi Langjun, please speak."
"There are too many goods. It will definitely be impossible to move them all at one time. I'm afraid I will have to find a place to store them first..."
General Wei knew the elegant meaning as soon as he heard it. Before Mi Shiyilang finished speaking, he said:
"This is easy to hear. In the past, in order to facilitate business travel at the ferry, a warehouse for storing goods was built next to the city gate."
"Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, as long as it is not stored for too long, it can still be used. If Mr. Mi Lang can trust me, just put it there first."
Mi Langjun looked grateful and bowed his hands:
"The general has really helped me a lot! In order to repay the favor of the general, this time, I am willing to pay this amount to support the family of the general and his brothers."
But Mi Shiyilang quietly stretched out his left and right index fingers and crossed them.
"ten……"
General Wei's eyes widened violently, he yelled half a word, and then immediately cut off his words.
He swallowed in disbelief.
I thought that I could draw two at most, but even one would be good.
Unexpectedly, Mi Langjun's generosity was beyond his expectation.
"This, it's too much, it's really too much..."
Thinking of the value of those ten ships, General Wei's heart was beating so fast that he almost burst out of his voice. He actually became a little scared:
"Not so good?"
"Huh! General, I have never done such a big deal in my life." Mi Shiyilang's voice was also trembling. "There are so many goods. If it weren't for General, I don't know what to do with these goods!"
"General, this kind of big deal is rare in a lifetime. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life."
"So these ten ships of goods are just to buy peace with the general."
After listening to Mi Langjun's words, General Wei was also excited:
Can't sleep well for the rest of your life?
If I don't have the courage to take these ten ships this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well either!
But I saw him gritting his teeth:
"Okay, then I'll do it."
"Thank you, General!"
Mi Shiyilang was overjoyed, "Then go back first and let them move the goods to the city gate."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, General Wei grabbed him again and took the initiative to say:
"Mi Langjun just said something, saying that the manpower brought here is insufficient. I'm afraid I won't be able to work all night. Do you want me to send some people to help?"
When Mi Shiyilang heard this, he couldn't hide the look of ecstasy on his face:
"Lest I implicate the general in violating military rules!"
General Wei smiled boldly:
"Rules are made by people. Here, what I say are the rules!"
Taking out only three of the ten ships' cargo would be enough to block the mouths of his entire camp from top to bottom.
If another ship's cargo is offered as a reward for helping, everyone will rush to do it.
Of course, it is impossible for him to send everyone to help.
After all, out of the thousands of people I have, it would be good to be able to select two to three hundred people to work at night.
Most of the remaining people are more or less blinded. Even if they light up the lights, they cannot see clearly at night. Some are even completely blind.
The bonus of ten ships, and it was still in vain.
General Wei's eyes have been completely blinded.
At this time, all he could think about was how to unload the goods as quickly as possible so that he could get the goods.
"Mi Langjun, please go back and make arrangements first. I will ask someone to open the city gate and send someone to assist."
"General, I will never forget your great kindness in this life!"
The city gate, which was originally closed at night, was opened again.
More than two hundred sergeants were sent out of the city.
At this time, the first batch of goods had been moved into the dilapidated warehouse next to the city gate.
A certain guy seemed to trip over something and staggered.
Then the box he was carrying became unstable and fell to the ground on the spot.
"boom!"
The box was broken, and the tightly tied woolen materials rolled out.
"What a harm! Why are you so careless!"
The impatient General Wei was circling a row of boxes, eyes wide open, as if he wanted to see clearly the goods inside.
When I heard the sound and saw the wool rolling on the ground, I immediately cried out in distress:
"If it's stained with dirt, doesn't it make it dirty?"
The young man carrying the box was only wearing a short linen jacket, his arms were bare, and a white linen towel was tied around his neck, probably for wiping sweat.
He looked very capable, but he didn't expect to be so careless.
A look of panic appeared on the young man's face, and he hurriedly packed up the wool.
"Clap it! Clap it clean!"
Seeing that he wanted to put the wool back directly, General Wei cursed again:
"Do you know how precious this wool is? You won't be able to afford it in a lifetime of work!"
As he spoke, he walked over and bent down to brush off the dust on the wool.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Huh?"
The sound doesn't seem right, and why is the wool so hard?
What other hard objects are wrapped inside?
General Wei turned sideways and looked at the woolen material, and saw that there seemed to be something else inside.
"What's this……"
not good!
When Mi Shiyilang saw General Wei's appearance, his expression immediately changed.
"General!"
A loud shout made General Wei turn around subconsciously in shock.
"Let's see what this is!"
Mi Shiyilang took off his outer robe and threw it over with a bang.
The last thing General Wei saw before his sight was blocked was Mi Langjun's attire after taking off his outer robe.
“Send the signal, fuck guys, do the work!”
Mi Shiyilang was heard shouting fiercely. He had already pulled out the dagger from his waist, stepped forward with a big lunge, and pulled hard with one hand, making General Wei unable to pull off the robe on his head for a while.
Mi Shiyilang knew that although the opponent was only wearing light leather armor, if he really wanted to stab him with his dagger, he might not be able to cause much damage.
But when he saw the place under the shape of his head and the position of his throat, he showed a fierce look in his eyes and thrust the dagger in like lightning.
"puff!"
There was a dull sound, and the line of blood spurting from the throat was blocked by the robe covering his head.
These few movements may sound long, but in fact they are just a few breaths of lightning.
When General Wei, whose head was covered, fell to the ground, a sound of "Hugh - bang!" was heard outside the warehouse.
Fireworks take off, looking extremely bright in the night sky.
"Control the city gate!"
The people in the warehouse pulled out weapons from the woolen materials, and after receiving the order, they quickly rushed towards the city gate.
The people carrying goods by the water looked up at the sky and were a little shocked:
"what is that?"
Some people even changed their minds directly:
"Star Falling? The Western Thieves are here?"
Legend has it that wherever a star falls, a Western thief will appear.
But, how come there are stars falling at the city gate...
Before I could turn my thoughts around, my heart tightened subconsciously, as if something... was wrong?
"boom!"
"Wow!"
His head was hit hard, and stars popped out in front of his eyes!
There are more stars than there are in the night sky right now.
I tried to turn around, but the second blow had already come!
The third time...
The Wei Army sergeant who came to help unload the goods did not understand what happened in such a short period of time until his death.
At the edge of the pier, there were already loud shouts of killing.
Those who dare to cross the river at night are all elite.
Although I don't know why the plan was advanced, when I saw the signal, I immediately killed the target without hesitation. It was really ruthless.
Seeing Han Long leading the way and rushing through the city gate, Mi Shiyilang breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to follow him up, but he just looked at the dagger in his hand, then turned around and his eyes fell on General Wei's body.
He walked over and bent down to pick up the sword on General Wei's waist.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a sudden change occurred.
General Wei, who was thought to be dead, suddenly turned over as if he was resurrected from a dead body.
"Qiang!"
There was a flash of light.
"Chi!"
The long sword had already penetrated Mi Shiyilang's body.
"Ho ho ho..."
General Wei burst into tears and laughed like a ghost. Of course, it is possible that his throat was injured and his words were unclear:
"Sister, thief, even if I die, I want you to be buried with me!"
It turned out that although Mi Shiyilang stabbed the dagger in the neck, his sight was blocked by his outer robe, so the dagger was deflected a little.
General Wei did not directly stab him to death.
Mi Shiyilang staggered back, clutching his abdomen in pain.
"Mi Langjun!"
Several people came with their knives and slashed General Wei, who had exhausted his last strength, into several pieces with their knives.
"Mi Langjun, are you okay?"
Mi Shiyilang's face turned pale, and blood was flowing from the fingers of the hand covering his abdomen.
…
There were about a thousand Wei troops guarding the ferry.
Their mission was to monitor the other side of the river. Once they found signs of the Han army crossing the water, they would immediately notify the Wei army in Shaanxian County and Luoyang.
As for these thousand defenders, if they can prevent the Han army from landing, they will try their best to prevent it.
If it cannot be stopped, then defend the city and guard the dangerous points to wait for reinforcements.
The Wei army in Shaanxi County is only twenty miles away from here and can be reached in less than half a day.
From the time the Han army prepared to cross the river to the capture of the small town of Dukou, it only took less than half a day.
Then the reinforcements from Shaanxian County plus the reinforcements from Luoyang would be enough to block the Han army by the water.
Under normal circumstances, it would take more than half a day for the Han army to cross the river with a sufficient number of troops and then organize an attack.
Who would have expected that the Han army would have the means to cross the river at night to attack?
After all, crossing the river at night is no joke.
If no one on the south bank deliberately guides the ship, no one can guarantee where the ship will drift in the end.
If you miss the ferry, the dangerous water conditions in this section of the river will basically capsize your boat and end you in the belly of the fish.
At this time, the gates of the small town of Dukou were wide open, and the Wei army sergeants who were not blindfolded were all delivered to the Han army by the guard.
As for the general himself, he was stabbed in the back at the first moment, and later he was cut into several pieces. Even Earthworm couldn't survive.
Without the general, the city gates were lost, and misfortune befell the enemy. This series of changes caused the Wei army in the city to scurry around like headless flies.
"The Han army has entered the city!"
"The Han army has invaded!"
Many of the Han troops who rushed to enter the city were already determined to die.
After all, most of the people on my side only have a long knife in their hands, and they only have single clothes on their bodies.
As long as the Wei thieves can organize a little counterattack, people like themselves will basically die.
But what people didn't expect was that it was originally just to disrupt the eyes and ears of the defenders in the city.
Unexpectedly, the shouting became louder and louder.
Because they were caught off guard, many Wei soldiers followed suit and shouted, causing chaos in the city.
…
When Feng Duhu received the victory at Hangu Pass and Maojindu, he was completely confused.
"Is this the case?"
He held the battle report in his hand, with an unbelievable look on his face, and said incredulously:
"Jiang Bo asked Liu Xiuran to take Hangu Pass lightly, and Zhang Bogong and Mi Hongliang attacked Maojin Ferry at night?"
(Zhang Bogong is Zhang Yi, Mi Hongliang is Mi Zhao)
"Why is this script... not right?"
Is he so capable?
Feng Duhu felt that after the battle was over, the situation seemed to be like a wild horse running wildly in a direction beyond his control.
However, what is going on with this feeling that the situation is so good?
