Chapter 1586 The curtain of war was torn open

The incident happened at this moment.

A horse appeared in the distance, heading towards Jiang Quanyi like lightning.

Jiang Quanyi's support immediately rushed forward and stopped Jiang Quanyi.

And the cavalry "leaped" off the horse from a distance of one mile away, saying it was a leap, but it was actually a rolling down.

He sprained his ankle before he had time to slap the dust on his body, or even when he was rubbing it down, and rushed towards Jiang Quanyi with one turn.

"General... Emergency Military Report... Hundreds of thousands of times!"

The entourage slowly dispersed to both sides, and Jiang Quanyi shouted in a deep voice: "The sky cannot fall, why are you anxious? Tell me, why are you so panicked?"

"At the early morning of yesterday, a large number of Qing cavalry advanced south from Tancheng and then launched an attack on Shuyang City. By the evening, the city was captured and all 800 defenders in the city were wiped out. Until today, the messengers from Shuyang City had just arrived in Haizhou to report the news... In addition, before the small Haizhou City came to report the news to the general, there were also enemy troops in the north of Haizhou City. Scouts came to report, and there were no less than five or six thousand enemy troops coming from the north..."

Jiang Quanyi's face changed several times, with a hint of panic in shock, and then slowly calmed down. A sense of hostility gradually took shape in his eyes, and then a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally he laughed.

"Jiang is worried about being idle... It's a good thing!"

Jiang Quanyi shouted: "Change and follow the general back to Haizhou City."

After leaping on his horse, Jiang Quanyi seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and said to the Qi brothers: "You... don't have to follow this general back to Haizhou, and immediately return to Hangzhou Prefecture to report this military information to His Highness the King of Wu in person... In addition, he said that he was following my order to ask the prince for some good guns to the Taizhou Guard envoy."

After saying that, he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly, and the war horse made a neighing sound like an arrow, and rushed away earlier.

The Qi brothers' expressions changed drastically, but they were unable to deal with it for a while.

Qi Jiajie looked at his brother in confusion, "Brother, what is the general's intention? Is this just a command to us? But the war is imminent, let's leave Haizhou... Is this appropriate?"

Qi Jiahao's face became melancholy. He looked at Jiang Quanyi's gradually disappearing back and said, "This battle... is probably unpredictable."

Qi Jiajie still cared about it and said: "Brother, don't be ambitious to others to destroy your own might... Our Northern Expedition Army is everywhere, and who have you been afraid of in the past few years? Isn't it just that thousands of Tartars are attacking, just repel it."

Qi Jiahao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple... Our court has made a peace agreement with the Qing court. According to the law, the enemy should not attack Haizhou openly. Since the attack has been launched and Shuyang has been captured, the enemy must have a complete plan, and there are only five or six thousand people in Haizhou City... Therefore, this battle must be extremely dangerous."

"What else do you say?" Qi Jiajie said anxiously, "We should hurry up and catch up with the general and return to the city to fight the enemy together."

"Nonsense!" Qi Jiahao grabbed his younger brother who was about to jump onto the horse, "The general has an order, and I will return to Hangzhou Prefecture to report the news quickly... Do you still dare to disobey the military order?"

"Brother, when is it now? Report a message, can we ask our chief and deputy battalion commander to go together?" Qi Jiajie shook his brother's hand hard and said anxiously, "Brother is about to get on the horse. If the city gate is late, we will not be able to catch up with the general. If the city gate is closed, we will not be able to enter the city..."

A crisp slap sounded.

Qi Jiahao slapped Qi Jiajie hard, making him confused. He looked at his brother in surprise, "You hit me?"

Qi Jiahao held his younger brother's sleeve tightly with his hands, "Brother, listen to my brother, go back to Hangzhou Prefecture to report the letter to the prince... This is a military order, and it may be the last thing that brother can do for you."

"What are you talking about brother?"

"Listen... This battle is extraordinary. Our court and the Qing court have ceased to fight and signed a peace agreement. The main force of the Northern Expedition Army has been transferred back to the south of the Yangtze River. Now there is only one Wei Pass in Jiangbei, with less than 30,000 people, and it is scattered in Huai'an and Yangzhou. Even if the messenger is sent quickly to ask for help, it will take at least three days. At this time, Haizhou City encountered a joint attack between the two north enemy troops, and the enemy's strength is far more than twice that of me... I think the general must be locked down and defended... Listen to my brother, you go back to Hangzhou Prefecture to report the message. Brother, I will chase the general and live and die with the general. In this way, no matter what the result is, we will not let the general down and want to protect you and my brothers, nor will we accuse our Qi family of men of being greedy and afraid of death!"

Qi Jiahao slowly let go of his hands that he kept trying to shake off, and he understood.

It turns out that both Jiang Quanyi and brother have the same meaning, that is, they want to keep the Qi family alive.

"Since it is a sure defeat, why don't my brother persuade the general to retreat south? In this way, we will catch up with the general and strongly advise him to retreat... The prince said that it is not bravery or stupidity to fight even though he knows he can't beat him."

"Fuck!" Qi Jiahao said furiously, "You half-year-old kid knows what courage means and stupidity means? How can he guess what a general has experienced many battles? Now that Shuyang City has been captured by the enemy and all the defenders are gone, Huai'an Prefecture has three thousand defenders in Pizhou and Huai'an City. Once our army retreats, the enemy's gate to the south will be opened. The enemy is coming in full force, and there must be subsequent troops. In this way, Huai'an Prefecture will have changed hands without waiting for the General's Mansion to react!"

Qi Jiajie began to panic. He stared at his brother blankly and was stunned.

Qi Jiahao stopped talking. He quickly turned around, jumped onto the war horse, pointed at his younger brother with a horse whip and said, "Go back and tell my uncle that even if I die in Haizhou City, I will never lose my ancestor's face..."

Before he could finish his words, Qi Jiajie suddenly pounced on him and pulled Qi Jiahao off the horse's back.

Qi Jiahao was immediately angry, "What do you want to do?!"

Qi Jiajie pushed Qi Jiahao away, and turned his horse back on him. Then he tightened the reins of his war horse in his hand and rushed out with the horse's belly.

After rushing out several feet, Qi Jiajie turned around and shouted: "The General has an order first. Whenever he encounters a fierce battle, the father and son are with him, the father and son will stay, and the brothers will stay, and the brothers will stay... Brother, go back and tell my uncle that even if I die in Haizhou City, I will never lose my ancestors' face..."

The sound is still echoing, and the figure has disappeared.

Qi Jiahao's eyes heated up and he squatted on the ground.

But then he quickly got up, wiped his cuffs, returned to the dock decisively, and rushed to the boatman: "According to the general's order, emergency military information, the ferry boat will go south and go to Hangzhou Prefecture to report the news!"

The boatman was a little stunned and said, "Master, we are a ferry. Hangzhou Prefecture is two thousand miles away. Not to mention the wind and waves on the way, even if the waves are calm, this boat will not reach Hangzhou Prefecture."

"Don't be too verbally speaking. You just need to go to Wusongkou. When you arrive there, there will be a navy cruise... Don't worry, the ship is destroyed, I will compensate you!"

The boatman smiled bitterly. The boat was ruined and his life was gone. It would be useless to pay me ten points.

But even though I thought so, I also knew that the military situation was urgent.

So, untied the cable and sailed down, and a flat-bottomed boat was sailing south as a sea boat.
Chapter completed!
