MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1247 Capture Maojin Ferry
Chapter 1247 Attacking Maojin Ferry
The first few star points seemed to stop when they approached the south bank.
However, it can already be seen that these star points should be torches or lanterns on the bow.
Then there was another fire light on the bow of each ship, changing from dots to lines, and then from lines to images with special meanings.
"quick!"
Mi Shishilang saw the image on the river, and quickly ordered the people around him.
The people behind them immediately held the torches, ran to the water's edge, and waved them desperately.
After matching the signal, the stars on the river continued to shake and gathered in the direction led by the bonfire.
"Wow!"
"Boom!"
This is the sound of ships arriving on shore.
"Boater, is there any fish?"
"There are no live fish, only salted fish."
"I like to eat salted fish, how is the quality?"
"White salted fish, red salted fish, miscellaneous salted fish, water salted fish, all of them!"
"How many entries?"
"Hundreds!"
The servants who went to the meeting soon came back and reported to Mi Shishilang:
"Lang Jun, there are a lot of goods coming tonight, including salt, brown sugar, wool, and wine! There are a total of 100 boats!"
Mi Shishilang hadn't spoken yet, but Wei Bing, who was beside him, already had a happy expression on his face.
Some people looked at each other, and one of them quietly withdrew and ran towards the city.
"One hundred pieces! Are they all good products?"
Wei Jiang, who was also anxiously waiting for the news, was first surprised and then delighted when he got the reward from the people below.
"How much is this worth!"
Do the math, do the math!
According to Mi Langjun's bold temperament, how much soup can I get this trip?
General Wei was already a little confused, his hands were shaking a little, and he couldn't figure it out with his fingers.
A hundred ships!
There are so many good goods, even if I can only get a commission for one ship, it will be enough for a few years.
"Is it unloaded?"
"Not yet, just connected."
"Quickly go back and explore again!"
General Wei hurriedly ordered.
"Here."
After the people below left, General Wei walked back and forth at the top of the city, looking up at the deep night from time to time.
It's a pity that he can only see more and more dots of fire there.
There seemed to be a noisy voice coming from the ear.
But the specific situation is unknown.
This made him feel like being scratched by a hundred claws.
After a long wait, footsteps came again:
"General, Mr. Mi Lang asks to see you."
"Please!"
Mi Shishilang was brought in front of General Wei and saluted:
"General!"
"how?"
Facing Wei Jiang's anxious gaze, Mi Langjun under the firelight had a look of excitement on his face:
"General, there are too many goods! The goods of a hundred ships, just relying on the people under a certain man, I'm afraid they can't be busy all night."
As he spoke, he took two steps closer and lowered his voice:
"General, I want to ask you something."
Wei Jiang, who had received the news a long time ago, confirmed the news from Mi Shishilang's mouth at this time, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly:
"Mr. Mi, please tell me."
"There are too many goods, and I will definitely not be able to move them all at one time. I am afraid that I will have to find a place to store them first..."
Wei Jiang knew the elegant meaning as soon as he heard it, and before Mi Shishilang finished speaking, he said:
"This matter is easy to hear. In the past, in order to facilitate the ferry and business travel, there was a warehouse next to the city gate to store goods."
"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 barely. If Mr. Mi Lang trusts me, I will put it there first."
Mr. Mi Lang showed gratitude, and bowed his hands in salute:
"The general really helped me a lot! In order to repay the general for his help, this time, a certain person is willing to pay this amount to subsidize the family of the general and his brothers."
But Mi Shishilang quietly stretched out his left and right index fingers and crossed them.
"ten…"
General Wei's eyes widened suddenly, he shouted half a word, and then cut off his own words immediately.
He swallowed in disbelief.
I thought that at most two can be drawn, even one is not bad.
Unexpectedly, Mi Langjun's boldness was far beyond his expectations.
"This, too much, really too much..."
Thinking of the value of those ten boats, Wei Jiang's heart beat wildly, and he was about to burst out of his voice. He was actually a little scared:
"Not so good?"
"Hey! General, I have never done such a big business in my life." Mi Shishilang's voice was trembling, "There are so many goods, if not for the general, I don't know what to do with them!"
"General, this kind of big business is rarely encountered in a lifetime. If there is a mistake, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life."
"So the cargo of these ten ships is to buy peace from the general."
Hearing Mi Langjun's words, Wei Jiang was also excited:
Can't sleep well for the rest of your life?
If I don’t have the guts to take down these ten boats this time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well either!
But seeing him grit his teeth:
"Okay, then I will deal with this matter."
"Thank you General!"
Mi Shishilang was overjoyed, "Then let's go back first and let them move the goods to the city gate."
After finishing speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, General Wei grabbed him again, and took the initiative to say:
"Just now, Mr. Mi Lang said that the manpower brought here is not enough, and I am afraid that he will not be able to make it if he is busy all night. Do you want me to send some people to help?"
When Mi Shishilang heard this, he couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face:
"I'm afraid that the general will violate the rules of the army!"
Wei Jiang smiled boldly:
"Rules are made by people. Here, what I say is the rules!"
Ten ships of goods, as long as three of them are taken out, it is enough to shut the mouths of the people in the camp from top to bottom.
Take out another ship's cargo as a reward for helping, and everyone will rush to do it.
Of course, it is impossible to send everyone to help.
After all, out of my thousand people, if I could pick two or three hundred people to work at night, it would be pretty good.
Most of the rest are more or less blindfolded. Even with a light on, they can't see clearly at night, and some are even purely blind.
The bonus of ten ships, and it is still free.
Has completely blinded General Wei's eyes.
At this time, all he could think about was how to unload the goods as soon as possible so that he could get the goods.
"Mr. Mi Lang, go back and make arrangements first, I will let people open the city gate and send people to help."
"Great kindness, General, I will never forget it in this life!"
The city gate that was originally closed at night was opened again just like that.
More than two hundred sergeants were sent out of the city.
At this time, the dilapidated warehouse next to the city gate has already moved in the first batch of goods.
A certain guy seemed to trip over something and staggered.
Then the carrying box became unstable and fell to the ground on the spot.
"boom!"
The box was cracked, and the tightly bundled wool rolled out.
"Hey! Why are you so careless!"
The impatient General Wei was circling around a row of boxes, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to see the goods inside.
As soon as he heard the sound, and then saw the wool rolled on the ground, he immediately yelled in distress:
"If it gets soiled, wouldn't it be dirty?"
The young man carrying the box was only wearing a linen short singlet, his arms were bare, and a white linen towel was tied around his neck, which should be used to wipe sweat.
It looks very capable, but I didn't expect it to be so messy.
The young man showed panic on his face, and hurriedly packed up the wool.
"Take a shot! It's clean!"
Wei Jiang saw that he wanted to put the wool back directly, and immediately cursed again:
"Do you know how precious this wool is? You won't be able to use it all your life!"
While talking, he walked over, bent down and wanted to reach out to pat the dust off the wool.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Huh?"
The sound seems wrong, and why is the wool so hard?
What other hard objects are wrapped inside?
Wei Jiang looked sideways at the wool, and saw that there seemed to be something else inside.
"What's this…"
not good!
When Mi Shishilang saw Wei Jiang's appearance, his expression changed drastically.
"General!"
With a loud shout, General Wei turned his head subconsciously in shock.
"Look what this is!"
Mi Shishilang already took off his robe, and immediately threw it over.
Before his sight was blocked, the last thing Wei Jiang saw was Mi Langjun's strong attire after taking off his outer robe.
"Signal, fuck, work!"
Mi Shishilang yelled loudly, he had already pulled out the dagger from his waist, stepped forward with a big stride, and pulled hard with one hand, making Wei Jiang unable to tear off the robe on his head for a while.
Mi Shishilang knew that although the opponent was only wearing light leather armor, his own dagger might not be able to cause too much damage if he really wanted to stab it.
But seeing him aiming at the place under the shape of the head, calculating the position of the throat, with a fierce look in his eyes, the dagger stabbed in like lightning.
"Poof!"
There was a dull sound, and the blood spurting from the throat was blocked by the robe covering the head.
These actions may sound like a long time, but they are actually just a few breaths of light and flint.
General Wei, whose head was covered, fell to the ground, only to hear the sound of "Shhhhhh!" from outside the warehouse.
Fireworks lifted into the sky, appearing extremely bright in the night sky.
"Control the city gate!"
The people in the warehouse pulled out their weapons from the wool one after another, and after receiving the order, they rushed towards the city gate quickly.
The person carrying the goods by the water looked up at the sky, a little surprised:
"what is that?"
Some people are directly discolored:
"Stardrop? The thief is here?"
According to legend, where the stars fall, there must be a thief.
But, at the city gate, how could there be a star drop...
Before the thought turned around, my heart tensed subconsciously, as if something...wrong?
"boom!"
"Wow!"
The head was hit hard by someone, and Venus shot out in front of my eyes!
There are more stars than there are in the night sky at this time.
Trying to turn back, but the second blow has come!
Third stroke...
The Wei Army sergeant who came to help unload the cargo did not understand until his death what happened in such a short period of time.
By the pier, there were already shouts of killing.
Those who dare to cross the river at night are all elites.
Although I don't know why the plan was advanced, but when I saw the signal, I immediately killed the target without hesitation, which was indeed extremely ruthless.
Seeing Han Long's figure leading the way and rushing straight through the city gate, Mi Shishilang breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to follow, but he just looked at the dagger in his hand, turned around again, and his eyes fell on General Wei's body.
He walked over, intending to bend down to pick up the sword on Wei Jiang's waist.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a sudden change occurred.
General Wei, who thought he was dead, suddenly turned over like a dead body.
"Clang!"
Bright lights flashed.
"Chi!"
The long sword has pierced into Mi Shishilang's body.
"Ho **** ho ho..."
Wei will let out a ghostly laugh like weeping. Of course, it is also possible that his throat is injured, and the words he speaks are vague:
"Zizi, thief, even if I die, I want you to be buried with me!"
It turned out that although Mi Shishilang stabbed in at the neck, but because the vision was blocked by the coat, the dagger was a little bit off.
General Wei did not kill him with a single stab.
Mi Shishilang staggered back clutching his abdomen in pain.
"Mi Langjun!"
Several people raised their knives and chopped Wei Jiang, who had exhausted his last bit of strength, into several sections.
"Mi Lang-jun, are you alright?"
Mi Shishilang's face turned pale, blood was already gurgling between the fingers of his hand covering his abdomen.
…
There are about a thousand Wei troops guarding the ferry.
Their mission was to monitor the other side. Once they found signs of the Han army crossing the water, they immediately notified the Wei army in Shan County and Luoyang.
And the thousand defenders, if they can prevent the landing of the Han army, try to stop it.
If you can't stop it, you should defend it according to the city, and guard the dangerous place, waiting for reinforcements.
The Wei army in Shan County is only twenty miles away from here, and it takes less than half a day to get there.
From the time the Han army was preparing to cross the water to the capture of the ferry town, as long as it took no more than half a day.
Then the reinforcements from Shan County and the reinforcements from Luoyang are enough to block the Han army by the water.
According to the general situation, it would take more than half a day for the Han army to get a sufficient number of troops across the river and then organize an attack.
Who would have expected that the Han army would have a way to sneak across the river at night?
After all, I was crossing the river at night, so I was not joking.
If there is no one deliberately guiding the south bank, no one can guarantee where the ship will float in the end.
Missed the ferry, and with the treacherous water of this section of the river, basically the boat capsized and was buried in the belly of the fish.
At this time, the gates of the small city of Ferry Crossing were wide open, and the Wei army sergeants who were not blindfolded were sent to the Han army by the guards.
As for the guard himself, he was stabbed in the back at the first moment, and he was cut into several sections later, even earthworms couldn't survive.
Without the main general, the city gate fell, and disasters happened. This series of changes made the Wei army in the city scurry around like headless flies.
"The Han army has entered the city!"
"The Han army has entered!"
Many people of the Han army who entered the city first had the will to die.
After all, on my side, most people only have a long knife in their hands, and only single clothes on their bodies.
As long as the Wei thief can organize a little bit of counterattack, people like himself are basically dying.
But what people didn't expect was that it was originally just to disturb the eyes and ears of the defenders in the city.
Unexpectedly, the shout became louder and louder.
Because caught off guard, many Wei soldiers followed suit, causing chaos in the city.
…
When Feng Duhu received the great victories at Hangu Pass and Maojindu, he was totally taken aback.
"Is this taken?"
He held the battle report in his hand, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said in disbelief:
"Jiang Boyue Liu Xiuran took Hangu Pass lightly, and Zhang Bogong and Mi Hongliang attacked Maojindu at night?"
(Zhang Bogong is Zhang Yi, Mi Hongliang is Mi Zhao)
"This script...why isn't it right?"
Is it so capable?
Feng Duhu felt that after the battle, the situation of the battle seemed to be like a wild horse running wildly in a direction beyond his control.
However, the situation is very good, what's going on?
