After the merchant ship got off the sail and stopped the ship, he jumped onto a team of Qing soldiers from the side of the clutch.

"Where comes from and where?" A leading Qing soldier asked casually with his sword, carrying the bags of goods on the merchant ship.

The boss of the ship came with a group of ship workers and smiled and said, "Mr. Jun., the young man is a good citizen. He came from Northern Zhili and was entrusted by the Guzhu to transport this batch of goods to Wusong..."

"Don't you know the war is on the verge of the Yangtze River?" The leader of the Qing army threatened with squinted eyes, "Didn't you see there are no ships on this river? It's really something that costs money and lives!"

"Yes, yes..." The boss of the boat smiled, "Is there a few people in the family to support me? Wait until the rice is put into the pot... Jun Ye raised his hand and let the younger ones go."

As he said that, the boss of the ship quietly reached out and stuffed a wallet of silver to the leading Qing soldiers. The heavy feeling was so good!

The leading Qing soldiers immediately smiled, weighed it in their hands, and cursed, "Is it really tactful?"

"That's it, that's it." The ship boss Qiang smiled.

"You must...you are lucky to meet someone who is so easy to talk to me, otherwise...look at the shore, there are all idiots who don't know what they are."

The boss of the boat quickly bowed and thanked, "No wonder he met a magpies when he went out. He said he could meet a noble man. It turned out that this was the military master."

These flattering words made the leader Qing soldiers laugh, and they kicked them on the goods casually, "Go, go... get out quickly."

After saying that, he took his subordinates back and stepped over the ship's side.

The ship boss couldn't help but feel sweaty, and shook his eyes at the crew members around him, and was about to start the anchor and start the ship.

But at this time, a clutch full of Qing soldiers came from the shore, and the one standing on the bow was obviously a leader.

"No ship allowed!"

When the leader Qing soldiers heard this, they immediately retreated.

The boss of the ship was shocked and hurriedly came up and asked, "Mr. Jun, what's the matter?"

The leader Qing Bing looked cold and threw the silver he had just received back into the arms of the boat boss, and said coldly: "You... are in trouble."

After saying that, he shouted at the Qing soldiers beside him, "Everyone is in custody."

The Qing soldiers rushed up and pressed the ship boss and crew on the deck.

At this time, the later fast ship approached, and the leader at the bow of the ship brought more than a dozen Qing soldiers onto the merchant ship.

"Have you found out?"

The leading Qing soldiers rushed to meet him and said, "Mr. Chen, I have checked it, but I have seen no abnormalities..."

With a "bang", the leader slapped the Qing soldier hard, slapped the leading Qing soldier to the ground. "I have been thinking about fighting Qiufeng all day long. If I let a little trick go, your whole family will die!"

After saying that, the leader ordered, "Search carefully!"

In front and back, fifty or sixty Qing soldiers immediately churned like wolves and tigers, searching.

The boss of the boat asked in horror, "This general, the youngest people are all ordinary people..."

"Ordinary people?" the leader sneered, "Also ordinary people dare to go south at this time? Look at the river, are there any ships going south?"

"The little one is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot..."

"Bah, are you lying to the gods? Are there ordinary people who are seeking death like this?" The leader ignored the boss of the ship and shouted loudly, "Look at him... he opened his eyes wide and searched carefully. If you missed one, go back and wait for death!"

The boss of the ship was sweating profusely. At this moment, a Qing soldier suddenly shouted behind the cabin, "Mr. Chen, this is...uh."

The voice suddenly stopped, and then the sound of fighting sounded.

The leader of the Qing army responded quickly and shouted: "Take the spy!"

At this time, the boss of the ship who was pressed on the deck suddenly shouted: "Hongshu is a death, fight!"

Then he rose up and threw a Qing soldier to the ground and started fighting.

The ship boss brought by the ship boss immediately started fighting with the Qing soldiers.

The leader of the Qing army smiled strangely, "It's indeed a spy... kill!"

After a moment, all the people on the three merchant ships were killed, and more than twenty corpses floated on the river surface, making them even more miserable and sad.

At this time, in the woods on the east bank of the river, a man in his twenties was already in tears, "Dad...Brother... You are here to protect me, and you will definitely pass the news back!"

....

When Song An heard that Wu had been fighting for relatives to Huai'an, he was so anxious that he rushed from Hangzhou Prefecture to Wusong.

He also crossed the river overnight and rushed to Taixing.

At this time, Taixing and Taizhou had been captured by the enemy. More than 800 Taizhou guards defending the city fought until the last one, and the entire army was completely destroyed.

Fortunately, this time, this flag soldier did not massacre the city. It was not because they were conscientious and had kind hearts, but because their goal was to cut off the Taizhou Guard's retreat.

In other words, only two thousand people were left in the city, and the main force of the enemy cavalry immediately rushed to Rugao and Tongzhou.

With the assistance of the local Changlin Wei secretly, Song An finally entered the city and fell into the foot.

"Big head..." A eldest son Lin Wei choked without saying a word, "The eighty brothers in Taixing City... are only seven of us left."

Song An said coldly: "How did they die? How did you survive?"

"Eight hundred Taixing Guards guarded the city hard, and the troops were insufficient. The station led us to the city for support. The bloody battle lasted for one day... the entire army was gone!"

"How did you survive?"

"I can't hold on to it anymore. I happened to be injured by seven people, so I ordered us to retreat from the city and hide in the houses... I didn't want the entire Taixing Changlinwei to be killed."

Seeing the more or less injuries on the seven people, Song An couldn't help but sigh. Changlin Guard had insufficient personnel in Jiangbei. Taixing City had Taizhou Guards blocking the north, and there were more people, but eighty people, and after the battle, there were only seven people.

"Is there any news coming from the north?"

"Since three days ago, no news has been heard... According to the people, the enemy has blocked the land waterway from Yanzhou Prefecture."

Song An frowned and said, "Where are Lin Wei, the directors of each branch of Taizhou, Xinghua, and Baoying... there is no news coming?"

"No. The enemy cavalry blocked all passages, and the messenger probably couldn't get through."

Song Ci'an thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys clean up and follow me to the north."

Changlin Wei, who was still bleeding from his injured leg, said anxiously: "At this time, the big stall headed north, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the blockade of the Qing soldiers."

Song An raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to pass if you can't pass. The prince is trapped in Huai'an. As the Changlin Wei, how can we sit and watch? The first army is already preparing to cross the river. If the coast is blocked by enemy cavalry, our army will suffer a lot of casualties, which will affect the rescue of the prince... Besides, Lin Wei, the chiefs of each branch of Taizhou, Xinghua, and Baoying, do not know what the situation is, so I have to go to investigate the situation in person..."

Speaking of this, Song An said with a tight eyebrow: "You...can stay."

Unexpectedly, the man thrust his body and said loudly: "Even the prince, the head is heading north, how dare I hide behind me... Please take me with me. If I am in danger, the head of my life will never drag you down!"

When Song An heard this, he was a little moved. He let out a long sigh and said, "Well... you are the one."
