Chapter 9 Linjiang Subsidence

‘Whip, whip, whip.’ Thousands of powerful crossbow arrows shot out from the city wall. With the sound of these sharp arrows breaking through the air, a huge roar suddenly came out from the city gate under the wall.

‘Boom!’ More than a dozen people were scattered on two centipede boats and happened to row the Tang soldiers behind the city gate to avoid being hit by the rumbling fallen city gate and the boat. Mixed with the creaking sound of the boat boards tearing, dark red blood that was turbid with the river waves continued to emerge from the surface of the water.

The continuous waves of waves kept rushing against the half-flooded city walls outside the city. At this time, Linjiang City seemed like a bathtub in the water that was swollen and suddenly soaked. In the turbid city, except for some tall buildings, most places were flooded into the rolling rivers and sucked in the water.

The spring night is long and the stars are lingering. Looking at the red light poles of the fire cabinets that are reflected in the moors, countless Qi army naval warships are like fireflies on summer nights, and the stars can be seen within a few miles of the main gate of Linjiang City.

Welcoming the waves and looking at the moon, the Qi Navy, which had fought fiercely for several days, had successively wiped out the local command system of the Tang army and rushed to mobilize several teams guarding near the city to help the navy. At this time, Linjiang was only left with some of the defenders in the bathtub, and they were still resisting stubbornly.

Three or four ships were about a hundred feet away from the city wall in front, and they were always watching the battle. More than ten senior generals of the Qi army navy stood in groups, staring at the deck table with expressionless faces, marking the marching map of the water lines near Linjiang City, and whispered and pointed at the dangerous barriers that needed to be paid attention to on certain lines, constantly discussing the march plan.

The city wall was filled with sounds of flying arrows. Dozens of Qi warships were floating in the water and waves, scattered on the original moat of Linjiang City, and kept shooting back at the Tang army crossbowmen inside the city wall. What's more, they saw huge rocks of about meter in diameter constantly shot from the stone cranes on the warships, and continuously hitting the whistle towers and arrow towers between the city walls.

Seeing the city gate breaking down, dozens of small warships that were carrying huge siege cones horizontally, braved the continuous rain of arrows on the city wall, and immediately rushed towards Linjiang City. Almost at the same time, the Qi army warships roaming by the moat also kept hanging countless water army scorpion tail boats from both sides of the ship's side and rushed towards the city gate.

"Mr. He, where is Commander He?" Several Tang army centipede boats responsible for the transmission of orders drove against the current behind the flooded Linjiang City, and walked to the vicinity of the city wall. They had been soaked in the river water to the next high-rise building, and found this Lord He.

In the high building that was temporarily conscripted as the command room, He Jin's body was covered with water marks, and a trace of dark red blood mixed with turbid waves dripped from his shoulders. He Jin took a dirty towel handed over his personal soldiers, and then wiped his face a few casually, and shouted down through the window pavilion: "This commander is here, please say something, and let go of it if you have farts. I can't hold it here anymore, fuck it..."

"The governor has an order. The city has been broken, the entire army has abandoned the guards, and the army gathered outside Lin'an Gate to retreat..." Before the messenger finished speaking, He Jin couldn't help but curse: "Changing outside Lin'an Gate? How to gather? I don't even have a few boats here. Can't we, the Lu Camp, take the fuck toes and take a fucking toe?"

Ignoring the young messenger with a flushed face, He Jin ordered himself: "Xiong Lao Er, I will pass on the order of my order, one word - retreat. Stay with the green mountains, and don't be afraid of burning firewood. There are not many boats, brothers who don't know how to water will get on the boat first, and then go to a few brothers who know how to water to help escape. Brothers with good water have aggrieved and help continue to resist. When the brothers on the boat go far, we will rob several of their mothers of enemy ships and run away!"

He Jin suddenly jumped onto the centipede boat, grabbed the messenger and smiled bitterly: "Boy, look at your clothing. Is it Huainan here to support our navy?"

Seeing the messenger being confused and nodded nervously, He Jin even smiled grimly and cursed at the top of his throat: "You lost more than 200 miles in a row within three days. Are you all the stepmothers raised by your Huainan army? You were defeated in a fight and retreated to Linjiang City, pointing at our local Lu Camp to fight against the Qi Navy in front?"

Cooperating with the thick head full of turbid blood, He Jin's twitched and angry face became redder and redder. He saw him grabbing his hands, and the six or seven water armed soldiers on the centipede boat and the messenger were thrown down by him and thrown away several feet away: "You are the navy, just fucking swimming back on your own. Save a few ships for my Lu camp to sit, which is also considered that our brothers have not defended them in vain."

Seeing that the commander had taken action, the personal guards who had followed him for many years and some of the Lu battalions who had discussed retreat in the pavilion, simply jumped to the centipede boats that had been communicating orders, and grabbed the naval officers and soldiers, throwing them to the water about a meter away, and let them wander on their own.

You turtles from Huainan are best drowned. If it were the Jingxiang army of Marquis Yang, the Tianshui army of Prince Zhao, or the Jiangnan army under General Du, why would you be so embarrassed? I fuck you..." A Luying Qianhu, who had just jumped onto a small boat, looked like he hadn't slept for several nights, even roared at the Huainan soldiers who were constantly roaring in the river, cursing angrily.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind took advantage of the fire. A bucket of barrels had been prepared. Various types of combustible fuel were plundered from the city. Under the command of several Tang army guards, they poured on the water near the city gate and ignited a bellow. The more than ten Qi warships that rushed in first were separated from the scorpion tail boats outside the city, and several flames exploded from the boundary of the city gate.

Taking advantage of the fire, the Tang army crossbowmen who had hidden in countless nearby pavilions pulled their bows and fired in a burst of rapid fire, immediately caught the Qi army navy who had already rushed into the city off guard.

Cross beams, fences, broken wood, etc., all the messy items that can be disassembled on the water surface were constantly abandoned by the defenders and ignited in the nearby fire, preventing the Qi army navy outside the city wall from entering the city.

These Tang troops, who were surrounded by the city gate and under He Jin's command, sniping Qi's warships, were many good at using the rain of arrows on the pavilions to approach from all directions, and then jumped into the more than ten vanguard warships in succession, and fought with the Qi army above.

Soon, as the bodies of Qi army were thrown away from the moors, except for the two ships engulfed by the fire, the remaining dozen Qi army warships had been robbed by the Tang army. Then, they kept moving to greet the defenders who were hiding here on the towers and high grounds, and they embraced them on the ship to retreat.

He Jin turned out to be a water gangster. Later, when the kings fought in a melee, they were recruited by the Tang army together with the leader of the superior. When they were assigned to the commander, the matter was settled. The king of Tang was pardoned. After He Jin's troops were divided by the leader of the superior, they were relocated to the Linjiang line and served as the commander of the local Luying Guard.

But he started out as a gangster. Most of the military generals under his command, except for a few who died in battle or were relocated to other places, were mostly from water bandits like him. These people are now snatching the ship and snatching the helm, and they are like returning to their old careers. They are all skillful and orderly without much needing to talk.

The personal army leader in front of him who was called the second son of He Jin to be the second son of the bear, pulled down the soft scales that had been soaked in the river water and felt infinitely heavy in the water, revealing the iron tower muscles on his chest that looked like black charcoal. He kept complaining: "I have never fought such a cowardly bear battle from water to land! Linjiang, Linjiang, what the hell is this bird land name, it's so unlucky!"

"Linjiang, Linjiang, go to your mother..." Standing not far from Xiong Lao Er, the blood-stained Luying Qianhu, waving the geese-feather knife, kept chopping the thick ropes and cables that were siege on the bow of the boat, and shouting and cursing: "I don't understand, why did this beautiful mountain suddenly collapse? How come it was so fucked? In less than a few days, all of our six palaces in Runan were made into dumpling stuffing by Huai River!"

"Can those Qi army raised by those bitches do it? As soon as the Huai River arrived, their navy rushed over! How can we fight this battle? It's really the more he fights, the more mysterious it becomes..."

"Okay, don't fucking it all. If they really know how to do it, then Mr. Yang's territory would have been flooded by the Yangtze River long ago!" After wiping the sweat and blood on his face, He Jin ordered unhappily: "Hao Lao San, open your mother's eyes widen, pay attention to each ship, and let the brothers cut the cables and line them up. The giant cones were thrown down every ten feet, and the numbing chips on it were tied up. After all, we will catch up with the brothers in front and go to Luhuadang to escape!"

Just when He Jin heard a word, Qianhu responded with a gong-like voice. Until he said the last sentence, Qianhu suddenly felt stunned and asked, "Big...Brother, let's not go to Lin'anmen..."

Before he could finish asking, He Jin cursed impatiently: "The military orders raised by this bitch changed a little later. Now I say that I will go to Lin'anmen. When I go there, I'm afraid that those turtle and turtle lambs will run away long ago! There is water everywhere in the city now, so where can't we go? Let's gather all the brothers and go downstream to find Boss Du at night!"

Xiong Lao Er beat the rudder several times and laughed in response: "Brother is right. When Linjiang is lost, Runan is completely trapped. What's the use of the Qianli Waterway behind me? Let's gather brothers and go to Jiangnan to find General Du."
