Feng Jiye's department used sand ships to carry artillery and a large amount of baggage, and marched very slowly. After chasing for three days, he didn't chase anything, but burned and killed all the way and robbed.

Three days later, Feng Jiye felt as if he had walked into an uninhabited wilderness, and the people along the river had already escaped completely when they heard the news.

He stood on the deck, full of plants and trees, green fields and lush forests, and the pale reeds on the shallows by the river. If he just stood on the boat and enjoyed the scenery, it would have a unique artistic conception.

The "ding dong" sound of the oars stirring in the water seemed a little lonely, and the birds that were clamoring made the sky very empty. More than 2,000 Xu troops on the shore gathered together, but there seemed to be not many people.

At this time, except for cities and markets with concentrated populations, the people in the countryside really seemed sparse.

But Feng Jiye had no intention of enjoying the scenery, and such a bland and boring march made him feel anxious.

He stood bored for a long time, and rowed a small boat towards him. A warrior climbed onto the deck of the flagship, bowed with his fists, straightened his waist and pointed to the northwest, "Please look at General Feng, the river in front is unusual."

Feng Jiye looked at it for a while and said, "Is that white thing the reed water?"

Wu Fu said: "That is, there are three tributaries in the three-mile-long river in front and behind, with complex waterways; and the river surface is large and continuous reeds. The two banks are deep forests and dense trees. This terrain is very easy to hide water, land and land troops, so you must guard against it."

Feng Jiye had a serious expression and pondered: "There are too many woods and reeds, and the scouts could not search for it for a while. There were no hundreds of people spending days or nights, and they could not find anything."

Wu Fu said: "General Feng is wise!"

The fleet and troops continued to move forward slowly, and the boundless reeds and jungle appeared in sight more and more clearly. Another general approached the flagship on a small boat and asked Feng Jiye whether he would stop marching.

Feng Jiye thought for a moment and said, "Continue to go!"

"General..." said the general.

Feng Jiye said irritably: "What are the people and horses doing here?"

The general hurriedly advised: "Beware of the ambush!"

Feng Jiye waved his hand: "Water comes and earth covers it, and soldiers come and stop them! Order the entire army to be on guard!"

"Get orders!"

The sound of bells and drums and shouts on the river surface were lively for a while, and then gradually became much quieter. The oars on large and small ships still stirred the river water without any speed or slowness, and the boats floating on the cool green water continued to flow upwards.

Feng Jiye could no longer dislike the stuffy weather, so he took off his helmet and put his hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist. His eyes were very slowly staring at him and observing everywhere.

Everyone around seemed to hold their breath, waiting to smoothly pass through this unseen water. A guard on the deck freed up a hand and silently wiped the sweat from the brim of the iron helmet hat. Time was passing very slowly.

A long time later, suddenly there were many people shouting from a ship ahead.

Feng Jiye immediately turned his head and asked loudly, "What happened?"

Someone replied: "General, the ship seems to have hit something, so I can only wait for the people ahead to report it!"

Feng Jiye made a quick decision and said, "Ring the bell and order the ships to stop moving forward!"

The river surface became noisy again.

After a while, two bamboo rafts emerged from the reeds and water grass. Then more slab boats and bamboo rafts appeared on the river at once. First, they headed straight for a wounded ship with a crooked mast, and shouted loudly from all over the place.

Feng Jiye shouted: "Prepare for war!"

He looked up and saw that a row of triangle flags on the flagship tower had just been replaced with black flags indicating that they would stop moving forward, and the continuous pounding of the bronze bell had not stopped. At this time, the drum musician in the cabin beat the war drum again "dong dong dong...".

There were shouts of killing everywhere on the river, and there was a lot of noise. Soon, suddenly, the sound of cannons of "bang bang bang..." were mixed in. The mother-child cannons and guns on the sand ships were ringing, and the smoke of guns spread rapidly on the water like white fog.

"Baopao..." Feng Jiye heard the sound of firearms volleys in the woods on the shore. Xu Jun's infantry set fires and guns were all volleys, so the explosions in the forest were volleys, and the sound waves came one after another.

Feng Jiye stood on the deck with a steady attitude, observing the scene in front of him with cold eyes. He believed that the water surface was wide, which would facilitate the firepower of the arms, and the situation should be slightly better; the most worrying thing was that the soldiers and horses in the woods on the shore had very close vegetation and too many obstacles, and it was impossible to avoid short-term fighting! The close-range connection was obviously a great effect of a large number of people.

At this time, someone rowed over and shouted: "Report to General Feng, there are sharp wooden stakes in the river, and two boats hit and seeped water!"

Feng Jiye responded with a wave of his hand.

A deafening explosion sound on the deck of the flagship made his ears buzz. After the firecrackers, other loaded mother-and-child cannon mounts pushed to the side of the ship. The soldiers shouted and pulled out the bright copper cannons from the cast iron cannon and replaced them with new ones. Feng Jiye learned about these imperial guard weapons after leading the troops. The power and range of mother-and-child cannons were far less powerful and were less light than that of the cast copper cannons, but they could be placed on a small boat, and it was enough to deal with the sampans of the Jiaozhou navy.

The smoke of gunfire drifted a little after the artillery fire. Feng Jiye vaguely saw the enemy soldiers holding wood on the water and shouting. The wooden boards and bamboo poles on the river were everywhere, and it was a mess.

A large fire was lit up in the reeds not far away, but there was no wind in the air, so the fire could not spread. The surroundings were simply in chaos.

"Let me go!" A general pointed his sword at the small boat in the distance. More than a dozen sharpshooters pulled the bowstrings, and their heads raised their chests were almost the same. Feng Jiye could see that the imperial guards were really well-trained, and the "bang bang bang..." sounded like the vibration of the strings.

The screams of being caught in the distance were soon covered by the explosion of light cannons that were emitting flames.

In less than an hour, the sampans and bamboo rafts on the river no longer appeared. The enemy soldiers ambushed and besieged in this way. There were artillery fire and bows and arrows in the distance, fire guns and shields could not withstand it!

The surrounding warships shouted to repel enemy soldiers.

Feng Jiye asked: "How about the people on the shore?"

The smoke of gunpowder passed by, and a small boat was rowing. The people standing on the boat could not get on the flagship, so they clasped their fists and shouted: "The enemy soldiers have not defeated my heavy infantry formation and fled!"

After hearing this, Feng Jiye breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the imperial guards' generals on both sides and said happily: "The Hu Ben Army's troops are really amazing, I still underestimate you."

When the generals heard the exaggeration, they shouted: "We infantry troops, who are in line with the front line, are the elite heavy cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. They can beat them to the point of no firearms to the point of being beaten!"

"Hahaha……"

The sound of cannons gradually subsided, and there were only sporadic sounds of guns. Xu Jun cleaned up the battlefield, rescued the wounded and those who fell into the water, killed the enemy soldiers who had not escaped, and stayed on the river where the stakes were set for a long time before passing through this dangerous place. At that time, the sun had already set on the treetops to the west.

Feng Jiye sent a commander to camp with a wide view.

That night, the generals gathered in the central army's tent and discussed it. Three or four days after leaving the "Taipingzhai", everyone gradually became confused.

A general muttered: "At present, nothing can be caught up with. Only by waiting for the enemy troops to harass you can fight. You can get farther and farther away from the camp, go deeper into the enemy's territory, and you will be able to return if you are worse than to win a few games."

Feng Jiye stroked his palm and said loudly: "The chaotic troops along the road are all rats. He leads elite soldiers to work hard for this little military merit, and will undoubtedly drive away tigers and kill chickens!"

Everyone asked, "What are the opinions of General Feng?"

Feng Jiye opened a simple picture of the line drawing and tapped his finger three times in a row, "Luocheng!"

"Wow!" The tent immediately boiled, and everyone's expressions became exaggerated. Some were shocked, some were confused, and some were just shaking their heads.

The civil servant of the follower immediately opposed: "No! We are the vanguard army, with very few troops and troops. We are thousands of miles away from the country and the mountains are high and the sea is wide. We have not decided to fight the decisive battle with the Jiaozhou army in advance, let alone attacking the enemy's capital as soon as we come?!"

"Bang!" Feng Jiye raised his hand and threw the iron cup to the ground. The object was immediately flattened. He was furious and said in a hurry: "I am the main general! If the Chief Secretary Zheng Xianchun and Deputy General Zhang Jiankui are present, can they have the final say? Ah!"

The tent was immediately silent, and the civil servant stopped talking. Naturally, no one else spoke on the fire.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiye was just a moody person. He was furious just now, and he said seriously: "The enemy soldiers are vulnerable, but we are not familiar with the place, we can't find them, and we can't catch up. However, humanity is that monks can't run away from the temple. There is a place where we make achievements... Luocheng!"

"Three thousand elite armors are enough to destroy the country!" Feng Jiye's eyes were red, and his emotions were unstoppable. "I looked at it more than once. With the dignified formation, the enemy soldiers are many and few are not opponents. We can easily defeat the enemy soldiers. Now there are some heavy artillery in the cabin. Why can't we attack the city?"

A middle-aged general advised carefully: "General Feng is brave and resourceful and courageous. But if we attack important cities, we must first siege the city. We have less than 3,000 people. How can we siege the city? Under the city of war, there are enemy territory, food roads, and retreat paths, and the scouts cannot move at all. Even if they are a tiger and wolf army, how can we fight under the high walls?"

Feng Jiye said: "The Luocheng Fortifications are far from the cities in the Central Plains, don't worry. As for the surrounding strongholds, isn't it the place where our troops "expropriate" food? The Dingkou they have obtained can also be driven to dig soil to attack the city..."

Without waiting for his generals to speak, he immediately asked firmly: "You are not moved by the achievements of destroying the country (Jiaozhou has established a country and is called Da Qu Yue). Three thousand elite armors destroyed the country and spread throughout the world. Wouldn't the people of billions of nations in the world talk about it? The family shining the ancestors and their success is today!"

Obviously, what Feng Jiye said before was not very useful, but the last sentence really touched the generals present. Are the generals not greedy for merit? It was like the sun rising from the west!

Only the civil servants of the army said: "The military power is in the hands of General Feng. If General Feng insists on acting alone, the subordinates have to send a quick horse to respond immediately and inform Chief Zheng."
