Chapter 242: Departure (Part II)

Jian Yu listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and was stunned for a while, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, but his reason finally prevailed, and he still shook his head firmly and said: "No, you can't go, and I don't need your help, I'm a man, where do I need ......" Jian Yu's words stopped abruptly, obviously thinking of Lu Wanwan's identity, and did not say anything.

"Brother Jane, you should know that I can help you, if you don't agree with me to accompany you, then I will secretly follow you for a while, in short, you can't stop me." Lu Wanwan smiled slightly, and said a little shamelessly.

Jian Yu was really helpless by Lu Wanwan's words, he knew that Lu Wanwan was bold, if he drove her back now, she would definitely follow after a while, rather than this, it was better to take her with her now and protect her by his side, so that no one would hurt her.

"Okay then...... But you have to promise me that you won't do it on your own. Jian Yu finally compromised, but he still told Lu Wanwan with a stern expression.

Lu Wanwan smiled, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I'm not such a disproportionate person." ”

Jian Yu smiled helplessly, and asked someone to bring a horse over.

Lu Wanwan turned over and got on the horse, her movements were very neat, and Jian Yu realized that she was actually carrying a bow behind her, and there was a quiver for arrows next to her.

Lu Wanwan noticed Jian Yu's gaze, so he raised the bow and arrow behind him slightly, and said with a smug smile on his face: "Don't worry, I am not without the power of self-preservation, and I promise not to hold you back at that time." ”

Jian Yu smiled again, and didn't take the bow and arrow seriously, just thought that it was used by Lu Wanwan to strengthen his courage.

In order to get to the Jiehe River as soon as possible, there was almost no news in the middle, and they hurried day and night, and finally arrived at the Jiehe River in the early morning two days later.

On the edge of the boundary river, there were already six large boats waiting there. Those six big ships are said to have been used in the Battle of Chibi that year. In the two hundred years since, it has been improved a lot by craftsmen, and it can be said that each boat is strong and reliable, not only resistant to long-distance sailing, but also has a strong resistance to waves. What followed was a period of busyness, 10,000 soldiers went on the ship one after another, and all the grain and grass had to be loaded on the ship, and everyone was busy until noon, before everything was moved onto the ship, Jian Yu has been supervising on the side, and finally got on the ship with Lu Wanwan.

The boat set sail slowly, and Lu Wanwan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the wide river, feeling a rare comfort.

"Why are you standing here, it's windy outside, let's get into the cabin." Jian Yu walked behind Lu Wanwan at some point and said to her softly.

Lu Wanwan turned around and smiled at Jian Yuwei, "It's rare to see such a scene, so I want to see more." ”

"You don't take a boat very much, be careful of seasickness for a while, that's enough for you." Jian Yu said with concern again.

Lu Wanwan shook her head indifferently, she was no longer the weak woman she used to be, she was in good health now, and she had been on a boat before, so she would not get seasick.

"Where are those rebels? Have they already gone up to the Boundary River? Lu Wanwan suddenly asked.

"The news from the side of Lance City says that they should have started crossing the river a few days ago, and the boundary river is not big, as long as we keep sailing in the direction of Lance City, we can always meet them." Jian Yu replied slowly.

Lu Wanwan nodded silently, suddenly feeling a little uneasy in her heart, she didn't know what she was afraid of, she had a faint premonition in her heart, maybe she would meet that person......

The boat sailed on the boundary river for three days, and did not find anything abnormal, and did not encounter other boats, without waves, calm and strange. But Jian Yu did not relax his vigilance because of this, and asked the soldiers to patrol in batches every day, as long as there was a hint of trouble, it was necessary to report it immediately.

Late that night, many soldiers had already fallen asleep, only a group of soldiers patrolled on the deck, and most of them were drowsy, and at this moment, the dark river in front of them suddenly became brightly lit!

Such a night, which had been dark and silent, suddenly brightened up, and in a moment all the soldiers awoke and looked together at the place where the light was. But at some point, hundreds of thousands of boats sprang up from behind the peaks and from the tributaries beside them!

These boats, which are uniform black clippers, are not large, with a sharp knife-shaped bow, and are the kind that can travel at high speeds in the water! At this moment, there were so many of these ghost-like ships, and they appeared so suddenly, they blocked the river and made the six big ships where Lu Wanwan was unconsciously surrounded by them! .

At the front of thousands of ships, there stood a young man in a mask in a black robe.

The young man in the black robe was just standing idly on a leaf boat, and his face was also wearing a mask to the point that his facial features were not visible, but anyone who just glanced at him was shocked by his eyes that were clear and bright to the extreme in the dark, and he was shocked by his incomparable style!

This is by no means the grandeur that ordinary people can have, and it is by no means the demeanor that ordinary magnates can have!

All of a sudden. All the soldiers on the big ship fell silent.

Jian Yu had already received a report from the soldiers and went to the deck as soon as possible, while Lu Wanwan was also woken up by the noisy sound because of his shallow sleep, put on his clothes and went on the deck.

The two of them gasped when they saw the dense ships around them, Jian Yu looked at the man in the black robe opposite, looked at the flags on those ships, and knew that these people must be the rebels they were looking for, he didn't say much, just waved his hand, and shouted with a cold face: "Soldiers, prepare to fight!" ”

The soldiers on the ship had already set up their bows and arrows and pointed at the boats.

The man in the robe and the mask. But he didn't seem to care about the soldiers on the big ship. In the light of the torches that lit up the entire river, the man raised his right hand into the air and said lightly: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

"Yes!" Echoes came from all directions. The people on the big ship were shocked to find that they were surrounded by this kind of ship. Jian Yu's face had changed a few times at this time, he couldn't have imagined that this rebel army could mobilize such a huge enough army to overthrow a court army?

Before his horror had passed, the three thousand boats shot arrows at the same time!

In the bright night sky, black arrows came towards the big ship like raindrops, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of screams came from overhead!

At this moment, the man in the black robe said the second sentence, "Press in!" ”

"Yes!"

Three thousand ships approached the six big ships, and when the ships approached at a slow speed, the archers on the black ships were shooting a rain of arrows at an unhurried speed! Because this rain of arrows was covering, it came from all directions, from the sky overhead, in a dense, black and oppressive way, so that by the time those men reached the fifth wave, more than half of the dead and wounded on the big ship had already been killed.

"All withdrawn to the cabin!" Jian Yu saw that there were too many dead and wounded soldiers, so he roared and gave an order. As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow shot straight at his face. Before he could react, he was slammed to the ground by a hand, and rolled twice on the deck before he could stabilize his body.

"Brother Jane, are you okay?" Lu Wanwan knelt beside Jian Yu, covered the figures of the two with a sandbag, and asked with concern.

Jian Yu nodded slowly, looked at Lu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, I will send a few people to see you away in a small boat, you must leave immediately, it is too dangerous here!" ”

Lu Wanwan shook her head slowly, and said with a resolute expression: "Brother Jian, I won't leave, and we won't necessarily die, there is a way." ”

Jian Yu's expression was a little desperate, he didn't expect the rebel army to be able to mobilize so many ships, he only brought 10,000 people, and the rebel army had more than 3,000 small boats, at least ten people on board, there were already more than 30,000 people, 10,000 against 30,000, where would there be a chance of winning.

Jian Yu laughed miserably, grabbed Lu Wanwan's shoulder and persuaded: "Wanwan, you listen to me and leave immediately, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Lu Wanwan was not flustered, she only held Jian Yu's hand and comforted: "Brother Jian, don't worry, you listen to me first, we are big ships, they are small ships, we actually still have an advantage, you are right to let the soldiers withdraw to the cabin first, save our people first, and then we will move forward at full speed, they can't stop us, wait for us to break out of the encirclement, and then figure out how to deal with them." ”

Jian Yu listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and also calmed down, and after a little thought, he felt that Lu Wanwan's words were feasible, he took Lu Wanwan's hand, and said very gratefully: "Wanwan, it's good to have you." ”

Lu Wanwan withdrew her hand a little uncomfortably and smiled uncomfortably: "Don't talk about it yet, let's go back to the cabin quickly." With that, she got up and ran to the cabin.

The man in the black robe on the boat had been staring closely at the big boat, because he had a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his expression, suddenly, he let out a light "huh" in his mouth, and his feet unconsciously took a step forward.

There was a soap-clothed man standing next to the man in the black robe, he seemed to have noticed the strange appearance of the man in the black robe, and immediately asked, "Young master, is there any problem?" ”

The face of the black-robed man hidden behind the mask seemed to be unfeeling, and he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "It's okay, keep pressing in, don't give them a chance to escape." ”

The soap-clad man immediately responded respectfully, and the speed of the small boats suddenly increased, and in a few moments, they were already under the big boat, and many soldiers had begun to climb the big boat.

At this time, Lu Wanwan and Jian Yu had already returned to the cabin, and Jian Yu quickly arrived at the control room, and ordered with the soldier at the helm: "Full speed forward, let's rush out!" ”

The soldier was startled and stammered, "General, there are too many ships around, and if we force a breakthrough, it is very likely that the hull will be damaged......

"Can't we hit those small boats with such a big ship, just rush out!" Jian Yu's eyes were red and he shouted.

The soldier was silent, nodded his head in response, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he turned the wheel to the bottom and rushed towards a place where there were fewer ships.

Lu Wanwan was staggered by the strong inertia, but fortunately, Jian Yu supported her in time on the side, and then the big boat shook violently, obviously hitting something.

The soldier's face at the helm was a little pale, but under Jian Yu's order, he still did not relax at all, and still rushed forward quickly.

After another period of turbulence, the big ship finally slowly stabilized, Jian Yu and Lu Wan were overjoyed, looking at the situation outside from the cabin, it was obvious that their ship had broken through.

"Continue at full speed and stay away from the encirclement." Jian Yu ordered with the soldier at the helm again.

Because he broke out of the encirclement safely, the soldier's face also improved a lot, and he continued to move forward at full speed according to Jian Yu's order.

After this success, Jian Yu and the following boats also gave orders, except for the soldiers on one boat, who lost Yan zhòng, and could not break through without strength, the remaining five ships all successfully broke through.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the man in the black robe on the boat looked at the big boat that was moving away and did not speak.

"Young master, why don't you catch up, the speed of those big ships is far inferior to our clippers, and they are now suffering heavy casualties, we just take advantage of the victory to chase and catch them all."

"Not necessarily." The man in the robe said lightly, "Now that the sky is bright, our advantage has weakened, last night we also relied on a sneak attack to catch them off guard, and our archers are adapted to night battles, so we can shoot those soldiers on the big ship, and now ...... The soldiers on the big ship are condescending, but they are better at shooting our soldiers, but the big ship is much better defended than our fast boats, which is not good for us. ”

The soap-clothed man listened to the words of the man in the black robe, nodded his head again and again, and immediately commanded his soldiers to retreat, and the three thousand clippers retreated cleanly in an instant.

Jian Yu kept an eye on the rear, and was finally greatly relieved to see those clippers retreating, and then he immediately asked all the soldiers to go to the deck again and began to count the dead and wounded.

After the inventory was completed, Jian Yu's face was even worse, the soldiers on their ship were the least killed and wounded, because the people who followed Jian Yu on this ship before were all elites, although they were caught off guard at the beginning of yesterday, but because of the good battle, they quickly adjusted their counterattack, but even so, their ship also killed more than 300 people, wounded 100 people, and there were originally 2,000 soldiers on board, so it went to nearly one-fifth of the combat strength at once, and the losses were heavy. Even their ship is like this, not to mention the other four ships, the casualties are as high as one-third, and one ship failed to break out of the encirclement, and the whole army was wiped out, so that less than half of the soldiers were left on their side, and the shape was not unserious.
