Chapter 150 Joint reinforcements arriving late

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

The rapid sound of the jing bell rang again in Shamen Town Fort. The soldiers and families inside and outside the city all listened to the ringing of the jing bell with horror. Could it be that there were bandits attacking again?

"Go back to the city, everyone will go back to the city immediately!" Li Xigou led the military police team to slept around outside the city, shouting loudly at the soldiers and families who were still confused. Many people woke up in a hurry and dragged their children to run to the city in a hurry. The sound of the bell has not stopped, and the people around gathered from outside the city to the city.

The sound of cowhide drums and cow horns in the city also rang one after another. This was the order to summon soldiers. The drums and horns sounded together, and all the soldiers in the organization must return to the barracks immediately. The soldiers hurriedly dropped their things and rushed back to the barracks from all directions. Even the slightly injured wounded in the medical battalion immediately returned to the barracks. The soldiers quickly put on armor and held sharp edges and lined up.

Li Jing and Lin Wei and other generals appeared seriously at the school ground. After scanning the soldiers, he said loudly: "Sirs, I just got the news that a fleet of dozens of warships appeared on the sea outside the Phoenix Mountain Wharf to the east. It was estimated that there were at least five hundred to one thousand entry. In addition, a fleet of more than ten warships appeared on the sea outside the Taishan Wharf to the south, and the number of entry was estimated to be 500 to one thousand entry."

When the soldiers lined up on the school ground heard the news, they couldn't help but become sè. They fought desperately last night and defeated more than a thousand pirates with a tragic victory. Now that they have just passed, two more fleets have come. What's going on with this competition?

Li Jing looked at the expressions on the soldiers' faces and asked loudly: "Just last night, we killed 1,100 pirates and captured 700. Although we paid a heavy price, we won in the end. You guys say, if you still want to deal with us now, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Well said, we will never be afraid even if we come. We want to capture Shaman Town unless he steps over our bodies."

"Bloody battle to the end! Bloody battle to the end! Bloody battle to the end!" The soldiers shouted in unison under the leadership of the officers.

Li Jing nodded. Although the soldiers had a worried and fearful expression on their faces, fortunately, the morale of the military was still there.

"Yes, anyone who wants to take away Shaman Island will fight to the end. But now we have initially learned that outside the Phoenix Wharf is the warship of Da Xie Fort, and outside the Taishan Wharf is the warship of Dengzhou Navy. These are all officers and soldiers of the court. They must have received news that pirates attacked my Shaman Town last night and later helped."

When everyone heard that the officers and soldiers came, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. At this time, if an enemy attacked from both sides of the sea, the current situation in Shamen Town would be really unknown. However, since the officers and soldiers came, there would be nothing to worry about.

Seeing the crowd like this, Li Jing shook his head secretly. The officers and soldiers were not really reliable. The pirates last night were colluded by Wang Jin of the Dengzhou Navy. If they were not prepared, who could guarantee that the officers and soldiers would not take the opportunity to slaughter Shamen Town by then?

"However, although the officers and soldiers are coming, don't forget why the one-eyed dragon came to attack us. He was instructed by Wang Jin, the envoy of Dengzhou naval commander. Therefore, before understanding the purpose of the other party, all the people must fight to the twelve points of Jing Shen, prepare for the war with all their strength, and do not relax at all. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Okay, each team is coming up to collect their respective tasks, and then they will take their place and be cautious."

The remaining 1,400 horses were all arranged within the four walls of the castle city. All the families were recalled to the city as soon as possible, and even the pirate prisoners and the original labor camp were imprisoned in the military camp in the city.

The walls of the south city of Dongcheng were only half a chest-high wall. Li Jing each sent 300 horses and sent all the seized weapons. Each entry was equipped with armor, helmets, long bows of horizontal swords, and even a lot of crossbows. On the south wall facing Taishan warehouse and the east wall facing Fenghuangshan warehouse, each was equipped with ten Fuyuan heavy crossbows.

The west city wall was basically destroyed by the battle last night. For a time, Li Jing had no time to build it, so he temporarily asked the soldiers to carry many sandbags and piled up a sandbag wall about one-high height on the original city wall site. In addition, a row of sharpened wooden stakes were temporarily added outside the sandbag wall.

Everything has just been arranged, and the newly established reconnaissance team has been sent back to report that the two fleets are almost one east and one south, and at the same time, they docked and landed on Shaman Island.

Li Jing and several generals made a preliminary judgment, thinking that the troops of Daxie Village and the soldiers of Dengzhou Navy appeared here at this time, and should not be here to attack Shamen Town. The biggest possibility is that these people had already received news of pirates attacking Shamen Town last night, but they kept dragging left and right but refused to come to rescue immediately. As a result, they waited left and right, but they did not see the one-eyed dragon evacuating the island, so they had to lead their troops to come.

Although there is such speculation, for safety reasons, Li Jing only sent two reconnaissance team leaders and deputy teams of Li Wei and Monk Xuancheng to lead half a team into the horse, divided into two sides, and went out of the city to pay close attention to the movements of the two fleets. He and everyone else entered the horse, stood in the city and never left the city for a step.

In fact, everything is no different from Li Jing's speculation.

Last night, the pirates landed on Shaman Island and then fought with Shaman Town. The merchants on several docks had known at the first time. Many merchants fled from Shaman Island with some soft materials overnight. Some fled back to the south island of Daxie Island, and some fled directly back to Dengzhou. The news of the pirate attack also reached Feng Zhang of Daxie Village. Dengzhou Navy and Dengzhou Governor Song Wen and others basically learned the news as soon as possible.

When Feng Zhang sent in to find out that the attacking pirate was the one-eyed dragon, he immediately understood that Wang Jin could not escape from the Qianjie behind this matter. However, he had already had the idea of ​​getting rid of Li Jing, and now he was happy to fight against Li Jing. The pirates eliminated Li Jing, and the Shamen Town General returned to his control, and he pulled out a thorn in his eyes. If Li Jing Qian lost the pirate, or if he was both injured with the pirate, he was still happy to see it. What's more, Feng Zhang was also surprised when he heard that the one-eyed dragon had actually arrived at the 18 ships. At this moment, he even thought that Li Jing would die this time. He wished that Li Jing would die at the hands of the pirates, so how could he help Li Jing? He immediately sent an order that all the ships in Daxie Village were not allowed to approach Shamen Island without his orders.

Another person with the ability to reinforce Li Jing was Wang Jin of Dengzhou Navy, but the pirates were originally colluded with him, so it was even more impossible to rely on him to reinforce Shamen Town.

The only thing he was worried about when he heard the news that the pirates attacked Shamen Town was Song Wen, the governor of Dengzhou, who was sent to Shamen Town. Now that Li Jing has just arrived at the office, Li Jing has just died in the hands of the pirates, how could he face Cui Yunqing, Yu Quan, and Li Feng? He knew that Princess Xihe, the daughter of King Zhao, was now on Shamen Island with Yu Quan's daughter. If they were also in the hands of the pirates, then this would be really a big deal.

As soon as he received the news, Song Wen sent an order to the Dengzhou Navy, asking Wang Jin to immediately lead the Dengzhou Navy officers and soldiers to reinforce Shamen Town on warships and repel the pirates. However, after his handwriting was sent to the water camp, Wang Jin just smiled and tore the handwriting into pieces. The Dengzhou Navy was nominally governed by the governor of Dengzhou, but in fact it had long been a self-organized. What's more, Wang Jin and Song Wen are the two most disagreeable factions in Ziqing Town. One is the confidant of the Jiedushi Song Wei, and the other is the clan brother of the Qingzhou Ya Bingya General Wang Jingwu. He ignored Song Wen's orders, and Song Wen could not do anything to him.

Things were dragged down. Li Jing fought bloody battles with the one-eyed dragon in the middle of the night. He was separated by Da Xie Village, which was only ten miles away and the Dengzhou Navy, which was dozens of miles away, but he refused to save him when he died, and he did not send out any soldiers or soldiers.

At the end of the day, when it was almost time for Yaoliang, Song Wen saw that he issued three orders to Wang Jin and Feng Zhang were all over the sea. After no news, he finally understood what was wrong. At the critical moment, Song Wen came to King Zhao Li Shi and finally summoned Han Zhong, the envoy of Dengzhou prison city, Liu Jian, the envoy of Longshan camp, and Xu Cheng, the envoy of Dongmu Shou. After some discussion, he mobilized a thousand horses from the three camps to head straight for Dengzhou Water Village.

Seeing Song Wen and King Zhao Li Shi coming with a thousand soldiers, Wang Jin knew that he could only do this. In the end, under pressure, he had to order the transfer of more than a dozen warships and 500 naval officers and soldiers to rescue Shaman Island. Seeing that the matter was at this point, Feng Zhang probably calculated the time and calculated that it was almost done. In front of the envoy sent by Song Wen, he also transferred more than a dozen warships and 500 officers and soldiers to reinforce Shaman Island.

In this way, warships were drawn, troops were allocated, and so on, and half of them were delayed on both sides, and finally the two fleets had five hundred horses each, plus the five hundred horses brought by Song Wen and Li Feng, a total of two thousand horses came to Shamen Town.

However, when they arrived at the pier of Shamen Town, it was almost noon.

The warships landed slowly on the two docks, which was also the request of Song Wen and Li Yan, because they were afraid that Shamen Town would be compromised by pirates and landed from both sides, just hoping to intercept the pirates.

As soon as he got ashore, Song Wen heard the drums and horns on the island ringing, but he didn't see half of the entry on the pier. He didn't know what was going on with Li Jing, and was anxious. He had to quickly command all the soldiers to get off the ship, gathered together and rushed to Shamen Town.

Song Wen and Li Xian each landed from one direction and led their troops to come. Not long after they joined Shamen Town, Li Xian saw the ashes after a fire in the camp outside Shamen Town Fort, and saw blood staining the ground in the west city. When they came into the city, they not only did not come out to greet them, but instead piled up sandbags and opened their bows and arrows from afar, thinking that Shamen Town had fallen into the hands of pirates.
