Chapter 176: Gaining the upper hand
Zu Lang's rhetorical question, before Liu Zheng and Gan Ning's answers, he had already recognized it.
Because at this time, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai had already rushed out of the cabin.
"Zulang dog thief, take your life!"
Jiang Qin came out of the cabin and immediately drew his knife and rushed to kill Zu Lang, his goal was very clear, it was Zu Lang.
And Zu Lang didn't know Gan Ning, but he recognized Jiang Qin at a glance, after all, they were all mixed in the waters of Poyang Lake, and there was a fierce battle not long ago.
How could Zu Lang forget about Jiang Qin and the others so quickly.
"It's you! Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai! ”
At this time, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a plan, and Zu Lang's heart was annoyed, but he had no choice but to continue to fight with Jiang Qin at this time.
"Okay, I let you escape last time, I haven't gone to look for you, but you sent it to the door yourself, this time I'll solve you all at once!"
Although Zu Lang saw Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others at this time, he was very surprised, and decided that this time it was the conspiracy of Jiang Qin and others, but Zu Lang was not afraid.
After all, he still knows exactly what kind of strength Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others have, even if this is a conspiracy trap set by them, Zu Lang doesn't think that he will lose to the other party.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Zu Lang shouted, provoking his subordinates around him, and immediately joined the battle, and himself, at this time, slashed out a knife and slashed at Jiang Qin's body.
Jiang Qin was already coming at Zu Lang, and Gan Ning planned to go up to help Jiang Qin deal with Zu Lang together, but Jiang Qin directly scolded Gan Ning with a word.
"Brother Gan Ning, leave this person to me, I want to avenge my brother with my own hands!"
Jiang Qin saw that Gan Ning was going to continue the confrontation with Zu Lang, so he immediately stopped Gan Ning, and took the first step, and when Gan Ning made a move, he raised his knife and carried it in front of Zu Lang.
Jiang Qin also used knives, or rather, most of these water thieves also used big knives, because they were light and easy to carry, and weapons such as spears were too bulky and long, and once they fell into the water, they were not conducive to carrying.
Jiang Qin slashed at Zu Lang with a knife, and the weapons of the two collided together, and the fight was also inseparable.
Gan Ning looked at the two of them, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, and turned his head to look at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng led the other Jinfan thieves, and at this time he had already encircled those water thieves under Zu Lang's command.
There weren't too many water thieves under Zu Lang on the ship, and there were more and more soldiers and horses from Liu Zheng's troops who rushed out of the cabin, which naturally made the people on Zu Lang's side gradually a little overwhelmed.
And what Liu Zheng plans is to destroy Zu Lang and these men first, and then hit the power to deal with Zu Lang.
As long as Zu Lang can be eliminated, even if he lets some of Zu Lang's men escape, it doesn't matter.
At this time, the battle broke out immediately, although Zu Lang had 2,000 soldiers and horses, but most of his 2,000 soldiers and horses were scattered on various ships, and each ship was separated from each other by some distance in order to surround the men and horses on Liu Zheng's side.
Many soldiers and horses were on different ships on Liu Zheng's side, and the troops were too scattered.
On the contrary, it was Liu Zheng, although there were only more than 2,000 people and horses, but Liu Zheng and the others hid hundreds of men and horses on the main ships at the beginning.
In order to launch an ambush on the main ship, Zulang was launched.
Now Zu Lang is in the middle of the plan, and there are only 100 people who follow Zu Lang to the main ship, even if there is a follow-up battle, there are still some people and horses who will rush over from the ship, but in terms of numbers, Liu Zheng's side has an absolute advantage.
In addition, there are also Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and the two led a group of water thieves to continue to rush and kill, and soon, Liu Zheng's side showed the upper hand.
After a fight, the personnel on Zu Lang's side saw huge casualties, and after Zu Lang and Jiang Qin slashed back and forth a few times, they discovered this serious problem.
Zu Lang thought that even if he was in the middle of the plan, but after all, the background was still there, and the difference in numbers would not be too big, and after a battle, he would not be defeated too quickly, and when the brothers from other ships came to support, he would definitely be able to stabilize the situation.
But Zu Lang still thought too simply, and he didn't know at all, this time, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin united Liu Zheng's people, not only in terms of numbers, slightly better than Zu Lang, but even in terms of generals, they were stronger than Zu Lang.
And Zu Lang gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with Jiang Qin.
After Liu Zheng slashed and killed a Zulang army water thief with a knife, there were not many enemies left around him, so he no longer took the initiative to fight those enemies, but looked at the battle between Zulang and Jiang Qin.
Zu Lang is slightly older than Jiang Qin, it looks like he is about thirty years old, and the serrated steel knife he uses is extremely heavy, it looks like it weighs thirty or forty pounds, and every time he slashes, he can see the green tendons on Zu Lang's arms bulging and muscular.
The knife used by Jiang Qin was more detailed and sharp.
Both of them are very agile, Jiang Qin held the knife in both hands, and tried to slash at Zu Lang's chest a few times, the speed of the slash was faster and faster, but it did not occupy any advantage on Zu Lang's body.
On the contrary, the more he attacked, the more he was blocked by Zu Lang, and Zu Lang's serrated steel knife, because of its heaviness, occupied a great upper hand in the confrontation with Jiang Qin.
The force generated by a collision fell into Zu Lang's hands, and the shock force was less, while Jiang Qin suffered more impact force.
At the beginning of the fight, Jiang Qin was able to hold on, but after a few fights, the weapons collided together, not only the shock of Jiang Qin's mouth was numb, but even the hand holding the knife began to hurt, the muscles were sore, and there was a vague feeling that he couldn't lift the knife.
At this time, Jiang Qin realized that there was still a gap between himself and Zu Lang.
But Jiang Qin couldn't retreat, he wanted to kill Zu Lang, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, and continue to fight with Zu Lang here.
Hopefully, Zhou Tai and the others can quickly deal with Zu Lang's subordinates, so that they can come over to help.
At this time, Zu Lang, after the battle, saw that the brothers around him began to be killed one by one, and he also realized the power of Jiang Qin's people.
The look on Zu Lang's face became more and more heavy.
After waiting for a while again, Zulang saw that the brothers from the surrounding ships had never come to support, and Zulang knew that the other brothers were also pinned, and in this way, his last hope was also dashed.
After knowing that there was no hope, Zu Lang could only give up at this time.
"Brothers, the situation is not right, let's withdraw first!"
Zu Lang swung out a knife, used his strength to temporarily force Jiang Qin back, gritted his teeth, and began to retreat.
