Xie Ming

Bold and unabashed, with no arrogance.

Generals Hao and Jin led the rebel army in a mighty force and headed straight to the narrow mouth east of Anqing where Xiao had set an ambush.

After they fell into the trap, Hao Xiaozhong took on the responsibility of the commander-in-chief. Only then could he face the cliffs on both wings. He felt apprehensive and had a premonition that something might go wrong.

However, after all, we are already in a trap now, and it is too late to say anything.

Let’s talk about Jin Shenghuan, who was on the main warship. He had met this place before many years ago. After he told him about the terrain of Wushan, it became even more difficult for the two of them to return quickly.

"Hahaha, well, don't worry, Brother Hao. Just relax."

"The front and back sides of Wushan Mountain rise up from the ground and are very steep."

"It is beyond human power to climb."

"The Southern Army is here to stop us. Unless we have wings on our shoulders, we can set up an ambush here."

"Haha, Brother Hao, compared to this, there is another matter that we should probably care more about!"

Jin Shenghuan confidently patted his chest to guarantee, but at the end of his speech, he suddenly changed the subject and deliberately kept the audience in suspense, saying that he was going to another place.

Upon hearing this, Hao Xiaozhong's nervous mood was suddenly disturbed and he no longer thought about it.

Seeing that there was something else behind Jin's words, he had no choice but to ask again.

"hiss--"

"I don't know. What does Brother Jin mean?" Hao Xiaozhong responded.

"Uh, hi!"

"Well, Brother Hao, we really didn't mean to cause trouble."

"But, isn't that Wang Deren too unreliable?"

"What time is it now?"

"He has ships and troops in his army. At this juncture, if we had followed our original plan, we should have already seized two beaches by sea and captured Anqing City, right?!"

"How come at this point, there's still no fucking movement behind my head?!"

"This is weird!"

Jin Shenghuan's words clearly reflected a holistic strategy, and his intention to instigate was also obvious.

He spoke a lot of slanderous words and even talked behind Wang Deren's back.

Upon hearing this, Hao Xiaozhong was stunned and stared at him.

"Hey, that Zamao (Wang Deren, one of Zuo Liangyu's five close generals, nicknamed Zamao) is fine."

"Although his daily behavior is a bit eccentric, he is still useful in serious matters."

"There is no movement at the moment. Maybe the defenders of Anqing City surrendered. Who knows!"

How could Hao Xiaozhong not know that Jin Shenghuan was trying to sow discord?
Wang Deren, this guy's usual behavior has a lot of problems, but after all, he has no big ambitions, so he follows Hao Xiaozhong and they are compatible and can provide help.

Therefore, Hao Cai showed favoritism to them. This move was also meant to maintain stability. He was afraid that after finally gathering these people together, they would fight among themselves and harm the momentum of advancing eastward, and his dream of becoming an emperor would no longer be realized.

However, Jin Shenghuan was obviously dissatisfied with Hao Xiaozhong's evasive attitude.

"Hey, this"

"Ugh!"

"Brother Hao, Brother Hao."

"How come you are smart all your life but stupid for a moment?"

"Forget it. I'll tell you straight."

"You don't know yet."

"I also heard them talking about this last night."

"It is said that Zhang Shixun (one of Zuo Liangyu's five generals) secretly tried to win over Wang Zamao. He found two pretty girls from nowhere and quietly sent them to Wang Zamao's bed."

"Others may not know about that Zamao guy, but you must know him, brother."

"That's it. When the lust comes, eight horses can't hold it down."

"Originally, we don't bother to care about this kind of thing about a woman's belly. Men can understand it to some extent."

"But, this bastard has been having a lot of fun these days."

"I heard from people that a few days ago, a barefoot Taoist priest from the south passed through Jiujiang."

"I don't know how, but he got caught by that bastard."

"I got a kind of cinnabar pill that can help with bed affairs."

"Before sex, crush a few pills and take with strong liquor."

"It's all over the urethra, and there's also a pink paste. Once applied, the tendons and brains are exposed, and you can have sex for a long time without ejaculation!" "Don't think about it. I must have used drugs again last night."

"This bastard, knowing that the army was leaving for the east this morning, still indulged in this addiction and delayed the work."

"Humph!"

"Brother Hao, do you believe it or not?"

"At this moment, that lousy thing will definitely be drooping. It's good enough if its calves don't cramp."

"You still expect him to be diligent and lead the way for you? No way."

Jin Shenghuan added fuel to the fire and described the situation vividly.

He kept saying that he heard it from someone, but it sounded as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Hao Xiaozhong was very angry after hearing this.

Since they hated Jin Shenghuan for fighting behind people's backs and making things difficult for others, they felt disgusted with him.

What worries me even more is Wang Deren, Wang Zamao, who is always looking for trouble and doing whatever he wants.

Now, if someone gets hold of this handle, it will be difficult to say whether it is good or bad, and it is hard to know how the army will be organized in the future.

Originally he thought that, with the full support of Wang Deren and Ma Jinzhong (one of the five close generals) among the five generals of Hao Xiaozhong, he could lead a large army, gather the five generals together, and attack Huanglong directly, and great things could be accomplished.

But who could have predicted that within a day, the internal strife would become so serious after the whole thing had just started.

If they are not united in this way, it will be even more difficult to coordinate their efforts once they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River.

He was furious with Hao Xiaozhong and resentful of Wang Deren's incompetent performance, and finally he started to curse at him.

"Fuck that bastard."

"It's a filthy thing that can't be lifted."

"Those two eyes are always staring at that woman's belly."

"That damn evil drug."

"Humph!"

"You'll die from this sooner or later!"

"He is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

"Is there someone coming?"

"Pass my order, raise the flag along the back of the ship and ask Wang Zamao's troops in the rear, what's going on?"

"Why is there no movement in Anqing at this moment?"

"If Anqing cannot be taken within half an hour, I will dismiss Wang Deren from his position as general."

"Go!"

In order to suppress Jin Shenghuan's words, Hao Xiaozhong had no choice but to call the official on the side in a stern voice and go to question the man behind him.

But, it was just that the young official bowed his head in response, without waiting for the urgent task to be done!

suddenly!

At the fish mouth east of the narrow mouth, enemy ships appeared.

Three ships and five people suddenly appeared in the front line of the rebels, and they started to attack from the side across the river!

Immediately, the two main battleships of Hao and Jin had no time to react.

Bang! Bang, bang, bang.
A round of artillery fire, spitting out flaming balls, headed straight for the rebel ship in front.

In an instant, there was chaos.

"Brother Hao, it's bad, the enemy ship is attacking us, hurry up, order the front troops to fight back!"

Jin Shenghuan stood here, staring in astonishment, and immediately demanded to fight.

"Damn it, Herald, order the front ship to speed up and charge straight ahead."

"This place is narrow, and the mountain walls on both sides are in the way, making it difficult to fire at each other."

"Go forward quickly, break through the obstruction, so that the ships in the rear can attack. Quick!"

In an extremely urgent situation, Hao Xiaozhong was caught off guard and gave orders to leave and join the battle.

Now that they have arrived, he and Lao Jin probably don't have the time to deal with Wang Zamao's troops behind them.

There is no time to lose. There is no time to wait here.

The rebels were at the forefront of the battle and as soon as the order was given, they rushed to fight hastily.
