Turbulent Times Chapter 1321: Beach landing
After Wang Junlin received Pei Shiju, he had another drink with Pei Yuanqing that night, and the next day he led the army and set off from Fanyang County with Pei Shiju, without any delay.
Cui Qingping, the prefect of Shanggu County, is very good at running for his life, and knows that Fanyang County is the safest place. The rogues would never dare to cross the border to catch him, so he fled to Fanyang County immediately. The sheriff is still very familiar with the situation in Shanggu County, so Wang Junlin deliberately asked him to be brought on board as well.
At this time, Cui Qingping was standing beside Wang Junlin, looking at the densely packed gangsters on the opposite side of the Dashi River, with indifferent expressions and bloodthirsty staring at them, he couldn't help leaning closer to Wang Junlin, but he still felt his legs and feet were weak and his face was pale. Pale, unable to care about how embarrassing he looked at this time, he said to Wang Junlin with a trembling voice: "My lord, these bandits are really heinous. I don't know how many people under the government of the lower officials were slaughtered by them. They are horrific. Such vicious bandits, The law of heaven does not allow it, please the prince must uphold justice for the subordinate officials, and avenge the blood and hatred for the people of Shanggu County!"
"Maybe Wei Daoer and Liu Jicheng on the opposite side think that killing you is to avenge the people of Shanggu County." Wang Junlin held his hands behind his back, glanced at Cui Qingping with a half-smile, and said casually.
Cui Qingping's complexion changed, and he didn't dare to say anything for a while. He is the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, who has a history of thousands of years among the seven clans and five surnames. The current emperor Yang Guang, the latter will also give him a certain amount of courtesy, which is also the reason why the imperial court's punishment has not yet arrived when Shanggu County was lost, and he himself escaped.
But Cui Qingping remained silent in front of Wang Junlin, and he didn't dare to show dissatisfaction at all, because he knew that Wang Junlin could easily make his life worse than death without any scruples.
In fact, two years ago, when Wang Junlin wiped out the Fanyang Lu clan, which also had a thousand-year heritage, and distributed its millions of fertile land to the poor, he had already torn face with all the powerful families.
In the eyes of the aristocratic family, Wang Junlin can destroy the Lu family, take the million acres of fertile land as his own, or divide it into officials and generals under his command, but they will never tolerate it for those untouchables. It has touched their bottom line and pried their
The foundation of the rule, this is also the reason why the Dugu Clan suddenly wanted to put Wang Junlin to death.
At this time, Wang Junlin and his party saw the gate of Matian County opened not far away, and two men, one Wen and one Wu, led nearly 10,000 cavalry galloping towards the Dashi River.
Beside Wang Junlin, Shen Guoer had already picked up the telescope and handed it to Wang Junlin.
After Wang Junlin looked at it, he handed it to Pei Shiju next to him, pointed to the two leading cavalrymen standing side by side, and said to Pei Shiju, "That dark-faced, burly figure with a scar on his face It must be Wei Dao'er, the number one general under Wang Xuba's command, who is said to be extremely brave. And the middle-aged man in the shirt should be Liu Jicheng, Wang Xuba's military advisor, quite capable."
"My lord, all the ports and the shores where the big ships can approach are guarded by rogues. If you want to approach the big ships, use long-range attacks to disrupt their defenses first, and then we will land on the beach." Luo Shixin looked at the densely packed rogues on the shore, Hearing Wang Junlin say that Wei Dao'er was extremely brave, he licked his lips, grinning ferociously, with a fighting spirit in his heart.
Wang Junlin this time only brought out Yuchi Jingde's Tiger Camp with 20,000 horses and Luo Shixin's Whirlwind Camp, which integrated more than 3,000 insect-human black cavalry and expanded it to 10,000 horses. Five thousand sailors with ten warships. In total, there are only more than 30,000 people. Only Wang Junlin has the confidence and confidence to use these troops to deal with Wang Xuba's more than 200,000 troops.
"Don't worry, let them run with us first. Anyway, we have a boat, and they can only rely on two or four legs." Wang Junlin shook his head, and said with deep meaning.
Beside him, Pei Shiju hesitated to speak. Of course he knew that with the strength and means of the Far Eastern Army, any river bank could be attacked as long as he was willing to pay a certain price. But he is a rare smart person in the world, of course he knows that Wang Junlin has his own purpose, and he must not simply think that he is really here to rescue Huer and wipe out Wang Xuba's gang of rebels.
Cui Qingming also wanted to say something, but because of Wang Junlin's understated sarcasm just now, he dared not say anything at all.
The southeast wind brought drizzle, the sails bulged like crossbows, and the boats moved like arrows. Fifty warships continued to sail northwest along the Dashi River.
Liu Jicheng has sent a quick ride to Bai
He County reported the letter to Wang Xuba, and stayed behind to command and control the rogues to chase after the warships of the Far East Army. Wei Daoer left 5,000 cavalry for Liu Jicheng to control 80,000 rogues, and he took 5,000 cavalry. The cavalry chased after the fleet tail of the Far Eastern Army.
On the plain on the southwest bank of the Dashi River, five thousand cavalry trotted out in a tapered shape. Because the terrain was undulating and the horses and riding skills were uneven, the team soon stretched two or three miles long.
Originally, Wang Xuba only had two thousand cavalry, but after occupying the whole county, he snatched a lot of horses from the soldiers of Shanggu County and Boling Army. They gathered enough 10,000 cavalry, and they should train quickly these days, so for Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er, 10,000 cavalry is not easy.
To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for dealing with peerless fierce men like Wang Junlin, now he is worried that the Far Eastern Army will suddenly land on the west bank at any time, and the scattered interception of the bandits on the west bank will definitely not be able to stop the Far Eastern Army. He must lead the cavalry to follow Otherwise, Wei Dao'er would really be reluctant to gallop his horse to chase the warship that was sailing in the wind on this rainy day and the slippery dirt road by the river bank.
Fortunately, the fleet of Wang Junlin and his party is traveling against the current. The depth of the Dashi River is not enough, and the speed of the fleet is not fast enough. get on.
One water and one land, the two sides chased for more than two hours. At a place where the water was wide, Wang Junlin suddenly gave an order, and the fleet turned around at the speed that Wei Daoer and the rogues on the shore were stunned. And go, go back to the way you came.
"No, I've been fooled." Wei Dao'er's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned his horse's head, trying to gather his cavalry and go back to catch up, but the horsepower consumption is not small, and the fleet of the Far East Army is now sailing smoothly. Okay, the speed is much faster than before, but they can no longer catch up with each other.
When Wei Dao'er caught up with the fleet again, Wang Junlin had already led 30,000 troops to land on the shore of a beach. The 10,000 bandits on the shore persisted for a short time before being defeated and crying. The father and mother scattered and left until Liu Jicheng arrived with his men and forcibly gathered them together again. Fortunately, Wang Junlin's party couldn't get the horses on the boat to the shore quickly. When Wei Dao'er arrived, there were only two or three thousand people on board.
