"Keep your life and make amends." Guan Ning said.
The young man cried bitterly: "Yes, thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"
Guan Ning said nothing more, his eyes were full of sharpness, and he immediately took on the role of commander.
"This battle is unavoidable. The other party will not give up."
"Get ready for battle."
"Yes!!" Everyone shouted loudly, full of heroic spirit and not afraid at all. For such a long time, everyone had already regarded Shu as their home.
"Brother Nie, go and mobilize the boats quickly. The enemy is cavalry. We can't let them go ashore. Once they go ashore, there will be heavy casualties. Let's stop them on the river!" Guan Ning said again.
"Yes!" Nie Nan acted quickly.
At the same time, Guan Ning looked at the leaders of the nine families in Bashan. After being together for so long, they were already very familiar with each other.
"Bai Ling, Hu Yi, Jin Ya Su, you and your tribesmen will set up a second line of defense at the dock and take out all your bows and arrows."
"Mu Fei, Qingkou, Xie Tang, the three of you will follow me into battle, each bringing two hundred militiamen."
"Shengqi, Yu Dilong, you two take your men out to spy on the enemy and see how many reinforcements are coming."
"Huangfu Protector, take your men to the mountain to ambush. I'm afraid the enemy will send spies to infiltrate Shu. If they are discovered, capture them alive!"
"..."
His orders, one after another, were well-organized, and his leadership qualities were fully displayed.
"Yes!!"
With a loud roar, the crowd of people at the dock dispersed and became busy.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"The Lord has given the order to go out to the river to fight!"
"The Lord has ordered the evacuation of refugees!"
The continuous shouting brought the tense atmosphere in Liuzhuang to the extreme. After all, Shu had been peaceful for so many years and no army had ever set foot there. For these two generations, all this was the first time.
In about half an hour, Nie Nan quickly mobilized enough ships.
A total of 600 militiamen from the three surnames boarded the ship quickly. Everyone said that Shu was poor, but if you look closely, even the militiamen were armed to the teeth and well-equipped. They were not even inferior to the imperial court's direct troops, and their weapons were all excellent killing tools.
All this was possible thanks to the generous farewell of the deceased Zhao Tai.
"My lord, aren't you going to mobilize the dragon cavalry?" Nie Nan couldn't help but ask.
"The enemy is just a bunch of minions. Although they are regular rebels, they are definitely not frontline troops, and there are not many of them."
"If we just throw out our trump card, it will be detrimental to the overall situation."
"You sit in the back and coordinate everything."
"I will stop the rebels outside the river, don't worry." Guan Ning has always treated Nie Nan as a brother, and his eyes are eager at this moment.
Nie Nan took a deep breath. Although he really wanted to go, Guan Ning had already instructed him to do so, so he couldn't force it.
"it is good!"
"I will take charge of the rear for my lord!"
"..."
Soon, six hundred militiamen boarded three large ships and several small boats and headed out along the rivers of Shu with great caution.
Shu is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is a truly dangerous place. In order to enter Shu smoothly, one must cross the river called "Sanjiang".
Long ago, Guan Ning suggested to Nie Nan that he should use this river as the first barrier of Shu, and not just focus on the dock. Once on the dock, it would be a local battle and the casualties would be uncontrollable.
Therefore, there are many outposts, watchtowers and ambush points along the Sanjiang River. No one can easily enter without Bashan's permission.
Six hundred people against two thousand people, and the other side has reinforcements. This is like an egg hitting a rock no matter how you look at it, but Guan Ning has enough confidence.
When they were about to reach the shore, he gave an order, first asking Mu Fei and Qingkou to split up with their tribesmen, and then the small boats were hidden in the tributaries in all directions.
Then he personally led two hundred people on a warship converted from a merchant ship and sailed out of Shu!
Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and a boat came against the wind, breaking through all obstacles.
"Look!"
"Look!"
"A boat is coming out!"
"That's a warship!"
"alert!!"
The Xiliang rebels who were preparing for an attack on the shore shouted one after another, and then ran. The archers in the front row lined up in a row, drew their bows and arrows, and there was a loud noise.
