Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

However, to Wei Yan's troops, the chaos on the pier was just an order to start the battle.

"Fire arrows!"

With a low shout, several soldiers behind Xu Kun raised their crossbows and aimed at the unidentified sentries on the watchtower. They fired a volley and killed several people, leaving three people to board the watchtower. Kun himself continued to rush towards another watchtower with the rest of the people.

Seeing this, the fleeing commoners avoided one after another, fearing that they would also be killed.

"Get off the boat!"

"Everyone, hurry up!"

"Hurry up and gather at the general!"

Now that there was chaos, the people on the big ship naturally didn't need to continue to cover up. Seven or eight springboards were lowered from the side of the ship, and more than a hundred people rushed to the pier immediately. counterattack.

However, due to the death of the military marquis and the huge chaos, the garrison at the pier failed to form an effective resistance at all. Coupled with the continuous sniping and killing by Liannu, almost immediately after the chaos, the garrison entered a rout. , together with the people, scrambled to flee, and the battle at the dock was naturally one-sided.

It was only about a quarter of an hour, except for Wei Yan's men and horses left on the pier, they were all civilians injured in the chaos, as well as disabled or Jizhou soldiers who surrendered in panic.

Although Wei Yan would not intentionally hurt the people, he did not care about taking care of them. As for those Jizhou soldiers, Wei Yan asked someone to drive them into a courtyard, and after a while, there were continuous screams from inside.

Normally, Wei Yan would not kill prisoners, but this time they had few soldiers, so to avoid accidents, it was better not to keep any prisoners.

Anyway, compared to the whole of Hebei, what is the death and injury of dozens of people?

"Quick, remove the door panel and use it as a shield, quick!"

"20 people occupy the eastern highlands, Jiang Qi does not show up, and no arrows are allowed!"

"Over there, push down the thatched house, block the road, pile up firewood every five feet, and be ready to set fire at any time to stop Jiang Qi's cavalry!"

"Boys, as long as you block Jiang Qi today and let the soldiers and horses behind land land smoothly, it will be the first victory in the Hebei War. If you are a man, don't begrudge your life!"

After controlling the pier, Wei Yan began to arrange the deployment nervously, and at the same time, he did not forget to continue to encourage the soldiers.

Suddenly, a personal guard rushed over, and said with a pleasant face: "General, the follow-up fleet is close to the ferry and will be able to land soon. Also, there are a few more fast ships, and the subordinates can't see clearly, but they should It's Gao Tang's support that has arrived!"

"So fast!"

Wei Yan's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Did you hear that, the support has arrived, today we will win!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

The four hundred healthy soldiers on the pier roared excitedly, yelling out the aura of thousands of troops, but the Jizhou army camp behind seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. The chief general Jiang Qi's expression was horrified, and his whole face turned pale.

"General, also ask the general to send troops to rescue."

"Qingzhou soldiers landed suddenly, Liu Junhou died in battle."

"The crossbow is ferocious, and all the arrows are fired. We are invincible."

Let the defeated soldiers who fled back in front of him cry and talk, but Jiang Qi's mind seemed to be thundering, and the whole person was stunned.

Isn't Li Yi's main force in Yanzhou? Why did he land from Qingzhou?

"General, please make a quick decision, General!"

Jiang Qi's lieutenant general also turned pale, but he is not the chief general, and he does not have so many responsibilities on his shoulders, but he can still remember it. The most important thing now is to quickly arrange to meet the enemy.

Jiang Qi's body couldn't help shaking, he didn't know what to do now, but he was thinking more, the Pingyuanjin Ferry was captured, it must be Qingzhou soldiers, and Gaotang probably sent troops.

But Gaotang itself has only 3000 people, and Wei Yan is still the guard. If it is really him, then what is his confidence?

Although he didn't have the time to investigate carefully, Jiang Qi seemed to have seen that Li Yi's main force was rushing towards him across the Yellow River.

With a wry smile in his heart, Jiang Qi lowered his head and asked a few escaped people: "Who is coming? How many soldiers?"

Several people looked at each other, and the last village chief stumbled and said with a frightened expression: "No, I don't know, the people who came here didn't have a registration number, they were all wearing common clothes, and they suddenly killed people. As for the number of people, it was too chaotic at the time to see clear."

Jiang Qi took a deep breath, held down the sword, and asked with a serious face: "What boat did you come on, how many boats!"

The head of the village felt that Jiang Qi's tone was not good, and his body trembled. He hurriedly said: "It's the merchant ship of the Wei family. The two big ships that have been here many times are usually loaded with cargo. I don't know how many people they can hold."

"Wei"

Jiang Qi's lips couldn't help trembling. At this time, he would rather hear Zhang Liao's name than Wei Yan.

"hehe"

Jiang Qi couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was very permeating. When the laughter stopped, Jiang Qi's eyes were full of murderous intent!

"If you lose the pier and break the big event, what face do you have to live!"

Before the words fell, Jiang Qi stabbed the head of the village with a sword. The rest of the people were frightened and begged for mercy, but Jiang Qi didn't have any intention of keeping his hand. finish them off.

Seeing that Jiang Qi had killed one of his own people, the other generals in the room were horrified and dared not show their anger, for fear that Jiang Qi would attack them.

Jiang Qi wiped the blood from the sword on his clothes, put the sword back into its sheath, turned around and said coldly to everyone: "Wei Yan, a short-sighted merchant who dares to invade Hebei, I will take his head and immediately send an order to the whole army , all out of the camp, follow me to recapture Pingyuanjin, Deputy General Wang, you go first with the cavalry, if you can't rush to Pingyuanjin in half an hour, come and see me!"

"Here!"

Jiang Qi's ruthlessness shocked everyone, and for a while, the fear of Li Yi and all kinds of bad guesses faded a bit. Only the deputy general Wang was full of helplessness, hesitating to speak, but as a man in the army He knew that once such a death order was issued, there was no room for negotiation at all. In the end, he could only bow his head and accept the order, and then quickly went out to order troops.

After all the generals left, Jiang Qi took out a piece of paper and wrote an emergency letter to Yuan Tan, only then did he realize that his hands were shaking.

In the end, he reluctantly wrote the book and handed it to the guards. Jiang Qi put on his armor and walked towards the barracks with a determined face.

The time he gave to Vice General Wang was half an hour, which seemed unreasonable, but he also didn't leave much time for himself.

If Wei Yan dared to attack Pingyuan County, there must be tens of thousands of troops hidden behind him. If he could not take back Pingyuanjin immediately, when the main force behind Wei Yan came ashore, everything would be over.

Chapter 764 Ten Thousand Arrows Are Fired

The military situation is urgent, and Jiang Qi is not mediocre. From receiving the news to ordering troops to go out, it took less than half an hour to approach the pier. However, before he got close to fighting Wei Yan, he saw the defeat. Vice-General Wang came back, and nearly half of the cavalry was lost.

"How is this going!"

Jiang Qi's eyes were burning with anger. He said before that if he couldn't get in for half an hour, he would take the head of Deputy General Wang. The main purpose was to express his position and create pressure for them, but now he really wants to kill.

"It's not that the last general didn't go all out, it's really Wei Yan's cunning, he blocked the road with fire starters in advance, and the cavalry couldn't charge up, so they could only charge forward little by little in the fire field, but"

As if thinking of something terrifying, Deputy General Wang gave a miserable laugh, pointed behind him and said, "There are too many continuous crossbows on the opposite side. Brothers finally passed through the fire field, and there are countless arrows that can't stop. General, the last general really can't let all the cavalry collapse there!"

Jiang Qi looked up, and sure enough, there was smoke and dust billowing in the direction of the pier. At first he thought it was an accidental fire during the fight, but it turned out that Wei Yan deliberately started the fire, blocking the road, and even prepared it for his cavalry.

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Vice General Wang again. He really wanted to strike down with his sword, but Vice General Wang's appearance was really miserable, his hair and beard were burnt, his face was gray and black, and there were arrows sticking out of his shoulders. Ya, if you don't take the lead, it definitely won't be so bad.
