Chapter 603: Battle of the Sanggan River XIII

"Yes, yes, yes, this old man is still an acquaintance, you want to stop it again, you Wang Shuai may really die here if no one is treated, why don't you hurry up and let me and my men leave?" the assassin boss continued to clasp Ah Er's neck and shouted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers were really helpless under his naked threat, and because they were really worried about Wang Zhonghe's injury, they couldn't help but dodge to both sides, revealing a wide path.

The leader of the Assassins slowly moved towards the outside of the tent as he controlled Er, and he was surrounded by a dozen or so men, all of them highly skilled, looking around with weapons in hand, keeping a high level of vigilance. Under the protection of so many subordinates, those pro-soldiers could not find any opportunity to sneak attack the assassin boss, so they did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would really harm the lives of Wang Zhongsi and Ah Er at the same time, although Ah Er was just a guard, but when Wang Zhongsi was asleep and dealing with official business, he would mingle with the soldiers on duty, and the relationship with them was quite good, which was also the reason why Ah Er was able to directly call Wang Zhongsi's personal soldiers to act as dead soldiers.

So dozens of people walked out of the tent in this way, and kept moving slowly, and the target of these assassins seemed to be the nearby military dock! It stands to reason that the upper reaches of the Sanggan River are not very wide, and it is impossible to enter a large ship of more than a thousand stones, so there will be no dock. But when a full 400,000 troops gathered on both sides of the river, both sides had to build simple docks for strategic reasons, and each collected a number of ships and anchored them in their respective docks. However, these boats are not used for war, the upper reaches of the Sanggan River are not very deep, only to the chest of the height of ordinary people, although wearing armor will sink down a little, but always drowned, if the two sides want to cross the river to fight, I am afraid that they will fight directly in the water, or build wooden bridges, these boats are for other purposes.

It's just that for these assassins now, these boats are exactly what they need, although the upper reaches of the Sanggan River can pass people, and those who are strong can even tread water, but the distance of seven or eight zhang, those with better skills can indeed pass, but it is obvious that few of these assassins can do it, and Tang Jun cannot do it. Therefore, in order to escape from the pursuit of the Tang army, taking a boat is naturally the fastest way, even if there is a Tang army chasing, they can increase the distance between the two sides by boat.

Of course, the strangeness on the side of the main tent attracted the attention of the nearby Tang army, and when it was discovered that something was wrong, thousands of Tang troops suddenly poured in near the cluster, and the number of people was constantly increasing, and they were wearing whatever clothes. These guys all heard about the rumors that Wang Shuai was assassinated, and the assassins were holding Wang Shuai's close attendants hostage and planning to escape by boat, and rushed over with righteous indignation, wanting to avenge Wang Zhonghei.

At the same time, many people secretly prepared small crossbows in their sleeves, ready to wait for Ah Er to escape, and shoot these daring guys on the spot, and even more marksmen gathered on the roof of the nearby camp tent, aiming at the heads of these assassins, you must know that here is gathered the elites of the four major festivals of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no shortage of various masters, if these assassins are not Ye Chengcheng and they pretend, but really hijacked Ah Er and wanted to escape, I'm afraid it won't go so well. In fact, more people are not much interested in the assassins, because they are not Wang Zhongsi's past and current subordinates of the Tang Army in Hedong and Shuofang, but the Longyou Army, for them, what they really care about is Wang Zhongsi's life and death, if Wang Zhongsi is assassinated, it will be a great blow to the entire Tang Army, whether it is morale or internal unity issues. After the loss of Wang Zhonghei, will the Tang army here be divided into three divisions: Hedong, Shuofang, and Longyou, and the generals of these three armies will not fight separately, especially among the people who come, there are even people who are deputy envoys of the official residence, will they obey others?

These guys who were thinking far ahead had already begun to think about the future of the Tang Army, and the impulsive people were still shouting around these assassins, but they still watched helplessly as they slowly walked up to the improvised dock made of mud and swaggered onto the four wooden boats.

After receiving the prior notification from their colleagues, the Tang soldiers guarding the dock also watched helplessly as they got on the boat but could not come forward to stop them, thousands of people had gathered on the shore next to the dock, Bai Quan's eyes swept away, and he knew that they had been targeted by an unknown number of crossbows, once they let go of Ah Er, they were afraid that their lives were really in danger.

The three of them are nothing, but if the dead soldiers who are with them don't know if they can stop the bow and arrow, if they die in the hands of their own people's crossbows, then it is really a grievance, he doesn't want these dead soldiers of the Tang Army to die at the hands of his own people.

"Hey, boy, can you dive?" In such a tense atmosphere, Bai Quan shouted in the direction of Huan Chenyu on the other boat, because Bai Quan was looking at him, Ah Er knew that he was asking himself.

"Yes. He replied in the affirmative, as a guard to protect Wang Zhonghe, of course, he is extremely skilled, and knows some common skills, although swimming and diving are not necessary skills, but he just can, and can play some role in this plan.

And he also understood what Bai Quan meant, of course he knew that their group had been targeted by an unknown number of archers and crossbowmen, naturally it was very dangerous, if he was released too early, I was afraid that he would be fired by ten thousand arrows and die on the spot, but if he was released on the other side, he was afraid that he would be caught by the defenders on the other side, so Bai Quan's meaning was probably to release him when he was about to approach the other side, and let him swim back to the Tang army camp...... No, Bai Quan asked about diving, and he suddenly understood Bai Quan's true intention, he planned to let Huan Chenyu pretend to strangle himself and throw him into the river when he was about to approach the opposite bank, while he dived and returned to the Tang army camp from other places, in this way, the possibility of winning the trust of the Xi Qi coalition army was much higher.

Although it is now in the afternoon, it should be the most abundant time, but the water of the Sanggan River can be a little turbid, although it is located in the upper reaches, but because there have been two conflicts between the Tang army and the Xi Qi coalition army, so the river is quite dirty, abandoned Mingguang armor and leather armor abound, as long as you are faster, I am afraid you can leave without attracting attention, although those in the Tang army with good eyesight are likely to see themselves, but because the Xi Qi coalition army does not know the commotion in the Tang army camp, even if there are patrols on the shore to notice, they should not be able to see themselves, this method should be feasible。
