Chapter 177: Fleeing in the Water

Liu Zheng happened to see Zu Lang retreating at this time and wanted to escape.

He immediately looked nervous and shouted at the brothers beside him.

"Don't let that Zulang guy run away!"

Gan Ning, who was still fighting with several of Zu Lang's men, turned his head to look at Zu Lang.

also realized that Zu Lang wanted to leave at this time, so he pulled hard at the moment, pulled his flying sickle back, and then took a step under his feet and rushed in the direction where Zu Lang was.

"It's not that easy to run!"

At this time, Liu Zheng's scolding made Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others rush towards Zulang at the same time.

At this time, Zu Lang also realized that the strength of the people on this ship should not be underestimated, and it was not something that he could shake by using this little manpower on the ship, so after evacuating the battle, he fled directly to his ship without saying a word.

But when he saw that there were enemies all around, even if he could run to his ship, he would not be able to escape from it completely. Eventually, they will be trapped and killed on their own ship, and then they will be outnumbered and killed.

In a hurry, Zu Lang did not hesitate at all, and jumped up directly from the deck decisively.

Then he jumped into the river next to him, like a carp crossing the river.

One swings his tail, falls into the water, and after a burst of spray, quickly drowns his body in the water.

Jiang Qin, Gan Ning and the others were also stunned when they saw Zu Lang, who jumped into the water so decisively.

"Damn, Zhou Tai, you show me here, if he comes up, you shoot him with a bow and arrow, and I will chase him!"

Jiang Qin didn't give up after looking at Zu Lang who jumped into the water, turned his head and gave an order to Zhou Tai behind him, then pinned his weapon to his waist and jumped into the river.

Both of them are perennial people who have been living in the waters of Poyang Lake all year round, and the water nature is naturally excellent.

After submerging in the water, there was no outcropping for a long time.

Liu Zheng stood on the deck, his eyes roaming back and forth on the river, trying to find the direction in which Zu Lang had fled.

An old water thief like Zu Lang, with good water nature, is like a new life in the water, he can dive for a long time with one breath, and he doesn't need to take his head, even if he comes out of the water and rises slightly, he just takes a breath, and he can continue to sneak for a long time, if the boat is forbidden to move here, and then when he floats up from the water, it will open up a very long distance.

"Bring a bow and arrows!"

Zhou Tai shouted softly at a few brothers behind him, and a water thief not far away immediately ran to Zhou Tai and handed Zhou Tai a pair of bows and arrows.

Zhou Tai skillfully held the bow and arrow in his hand, and put the bow on the arrow, aiming the arrow at the surface of the river, waiting for Zu Lang's appearance at any time.

As soon as Zu Lang emerges from the water, Zhou Tai will shoot him with an arrow.

But as for whether he can shoot it, and whether he will shoot Zulang to death with one arrow, that's a matter of two words.

The others continued to chase after Zu Lang's remaining men, while Liu Zheng, Ganning and the others kept a close eye on the water.

Not long after, a small black dot appeared on the calm water, and a human head broke out of the water.

Zhou Tai, who had already prepared at this time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the bow and arrow that was drawn like a full moon also shot out quickly at this time.

The sharp arrow shot out of Zhou Tai's hand, and along his predetermined trajectory, in the blink of an eye, it shot towards the small black dot on the water.

With a thud, the arrow burst through the water.

And at that time, the small black dot had already disappeared into the water, and Zu Lang was ventilating very quickly, and he dived quickly as soon as he appeared, although Zhou Tai's bow and arrow also happened to shoot at the place where Zu Lang came up just now.

But whether the arrow hit the water or not is unknown.

It didn't take long for Jiang Qin to follow, he looked left and right, and after not seeing Zu Lang's figure, he turned his head to look at Zhou Tai, who immediately shouted to Jiang Qin and pointed out the direction of Zu Lang's escape.

After Jiang Qin understood Zhou Tai's words, he swam in the direction of Zu Lang's escape again.

Zhou Tai is still waiting here, but Liu Zheng is not willing to spend time here.

He was going to pursue Zu Lang, these water thieves under Zu Lang's command were not to worry, and the only one who really made Liu Zheng feel a threat was Zu Lang.

As long as Zu Lang can be killed, this war can be calmed down, and if Zu Lang is allowed to escape from here, with Zu Lang's strength, it will not be a problem to gather a group of people again in the waters of Poyang Lake.

Therefore, instead of spending time here and letting Zulang escape from this river, it is better to pursue it immediately.

Because Liu Zheng already knew through the direction in which Zu Lang was swimming, he was swimming towards the shore.

"Gan Ning, bring some brothers with me!"

Liu Zheng immediately gave an order to Gan Lin, and then turned around and started to run from the boat to the shore on the other side.

Before, Zulang's ships forced them to dock, but now they have the possibility to reach the shore quickly.

Gan Ning did not continue to fight at this time, but followed Liu Zheng's side, looking at the water intently.

After Liu Zheng gave an order, he hurriedly called a few brothers behind him, followed Liu Zheng's pace, and ran under the boat.

There were dense woods on both sides of the riverbank, and when Liu Zheng and the others had just run to the riverbank, Zulang had already swam up from the water in the distance, and he happened to run to the shore as well.

The distance between the two sides is no more than 100 meters.

"There, chase me!"

When Liu Zheng saw Zu Lang's figure, he immediately shouted at the dozen or so brothers around him, and the voice was so loud that Zu Lang, who had just come ashore, could hear it.

Zu Lang turned his head and saw more than a dozen pursuers on Liu Zheng's side, and his face was immediately ugly.

But without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped up and ran towards the forest.

Zu Lang also knew that at this time, there was no chance to escape along the river bank, and only by running into this dense forest could he rely on the terrain to avoid the pursuit of these people.

When Zu Lang jumped into the water, the sawtooth steel knife in his hand had been lost, in order to escape faster, it was normal to lose the weapon, after all, the sawtooth steel knife weighing thirty or forty catties was carried on his body, although it could be used for some defense, but it greatly slowed down his escape.

Without the drag of weapons, Zulang was able to let go of the run, increasing his chances of escaping from these enemies.

Liu Zheng watched Zu Lang run into the dense forest like this, and immediately quickened his pace to catch up, and at the same time, Jiang Qin, who jumped into the water after Zu Lang, also swam to the shore at this time.

Unlike Zu Lang, Jiang Qin did not throw away his weapon, after all, if Jiang Qin did not have a weapon, he would not be Zu Lang's opponent.

Although Zu Lang ran into the forest first, the speed of Liu Zheng and the others was not slow, plus Zu Lang came out of the water and was covered with water, so it was inconvenient to run, and there was no way to hide his body.

Everywhere he passed, there were traces of water everywhere, and it was easy for Liu Zheng and the others to find his hiding place according to the water traces on the ground.
