After all, the fierce Jiao is just a group of fierce and greedy water bandits who lack a holistic view, even though they temporarily gain the upper hand due to geographical advantages and some other reasons, they still miss some key issues because of short-sightedness. For example, the hundreds of officers and soldiers in Jiangzhou who were actually not far from the official and military ships, but were entangled and trapped by fishing nets and other objects and could not get out, were selectively ignored by them.

Because they had defeated the official army several times before, Jiang Dalong and the others had a contempt for the Jiangzhou official army in their minds, believing that they could not get out of such a trap at all, and they did not dare to give up the boat and swim to support the handsome boat. Moreover, they also thought that as long as they could destroy the more than 100 officers and soldiers on the handsome ship in one go, and kill the main generals of the officers and soldiers, the officers and troops would inevitably collapse, and it would be easier to clean up those trapped ships at that time.

Their idea is actually reasonable, but they really shouldn't have any precautions, just care about killing the handsome ship but no one is guarding below to prevent accidents. And the biggest mistake Jiang Dalong made was that he didn't expect that there was now an extra township soldier led by Sun Tuqin in the official army, and their combat effectiveness had already far surpassed that of the Jiangzhou Xiang army.

When Sun Tu found out that a large number of bandits were killing Lin Henian's handsome boat from the rear, he immediately took the opportunity to take his villagers to leave the island and rush back. Originally, he was ready to swim over once the boat was entangled in the fishing net again, but the Xiang army in the west of the island finally cut the underwater fishing net at this time, so that his own boat could regain his freedom, and also allowed Sun Tu, who had seized the water bandit ship to drive back, to pass through this water area smoothly and go straight to the handsome boat.

In the final analysis, this is the result of Sun Tu's heroic battle. Compared with the other official troops surrounding the island, because Sun Tu led the army to resist the attack of the water bandits in front, and then killed the island like a bamboo, the Xiang army on this side was also encouraged and invigorated in addition to peace of mind. Although they did not dare to abandon the boat and attack the island like the village soldiers, the action of cutting the underwater fishing nets became more and more sharp, and they actually opened the passage facing out at this critical moment.

When Sun Tu rowed past these van troops with a few small boats, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, the shame of the snow is only in the present day, follow me to wipe out those thieves!" After this slogan was shouted, he first received a response from his village soldiers, and dozens of people raised their weapons and shouted: "Revenge!" Then even the shouts of revenge rang out from the vans, and then the boats turned around and rowed after them towards the handsome ships behind.

As the so-called soul of the general, Sun Tu finally won the trust of these soldiers through his fearless and heroic performance, allowing them to put aside their timidity and scruples, and follow his footsteps to launch a counterattack against the enemy without hesitation. Because in the minds of these people, Sun Tuanlian can lead everyone to a victory.

So, when a group of sailors tried their best to storm the remaining elite of the Shuai ship, Sun Tu led seven or eight small boats to kill behind them, and then did not hesitate to give the order below to release arrows to kill the enemy.

Seeing that the ferocious and arrogant bandits kept falling under their own arrows, the last bit of concern of the Xiang army had already flown out with the arrows, so when Sun Tu gave the order to attack the ship, these Xiang soldiers really mustered up their courage, just like the village soldiers

He climbed up the rope and quickly got on the boat, and started a head-on fight with the bandits who had just reacted.

In fact, even so, the strength of the officers and bandits on the ship can only be regarded as equal, and the bandits have not yet given up hope. But at this time, there was a fire on the island that suddenly broke out, and then spread rapidly, so that all the buildings on the island were swallowed up by the fire, which was caused by Luda, who was not good at fighting on the water, and the villagers who stayed there set fire to the island according to Sun Tu's order.

And when he saw this scene, the hearts of the water bandits who could have been able to summon Yu Yong to fight were completely confused: "Big boss, our island has been burned down, how can this be good?" We can't go back......"

Jiang Dalong's heart is also in chaos, this battle has actually changed one after another, even if he can really defeat the official army, his own casualties will inevitably be heavy, this is really not worth it, but he is really unwilling to leave like this......

Just when he hesitated, Sun Tu, who had been sweeping the formation, had already seen the target, and with a little force, the person had already swept high like a goshawk, and then flew condescendingly to the river dragon. Of course, he understands the truth that the thief captures the king first, and he will not let go of this opportunity to make a final decision.

Jiang Dalong and the water bandits around him saw Sun Tu suddenly pounce and kill, and hurriedly brandished their knives and guns to meet them, and the former subconsciously shrank back, wanting his brothers to block this fierce attack first and then think of fighting back.

But at this time, Lin Henian, who was still desperately killing behind him, also discovered this opportunity, and immediately rushed over desperately, and the short spear in his hand stabbed out like a thunderbolt, directly snatching the back of Jiang Dalong, who had just retreated not far from him. Jiang Dalong heard the movement behind him, his heart was horrified, and he hurriedly turned his body to dodge, but after all, he was half a beat slower, and the short spear had passed through his ribs, giving him a chill.

Under the serious injury, Jiang Dalong screamed, and didn't care about anything else, and forced Lin Dujian who wanted to increase his strength with a knife in his hand, and at the same time staggered straight to the side of the boat with the short spear, jumped up, and fell into the water in embarrassment with an upside-down posture.

Sun Tu was desperately stopped by several water bandits, and although he quickly knocked them to the ground, he still missed the opportunity to take down the thief's head. And when he wanted to kill the enemy again, those water bandits had already given up entanglement with the officials and soldiers, and all jumped into the water like dumplings, picked up their own leaders who had just managed to float up from underwater, and then climbed into a few small boats, and rushed to the upper reaches of the Xunyang River in a panic.

At this time, Lin Henian came back to his senses from this series of accidents, and looked at the more than ten small boats that fled in embarrassment, he subconsciously roared: "Chase me quickly, you can't let the thieves run away like this!" But this time his orders did not have much effect, and his own soldiers were all wounded, and they were all exhausted and could not be used anymore. And those township soldiers and other soldiers who boarded the ship later all looked at Sun Tu at this time, and only obeyed his orders.

And what was even more unexpected was that Sun Tu didn't have the slightest intention of chasing the thief at this time, so he only threw the knife in his hand to the deck, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Lin Dujian, poor Kou Mo chase, I am already tired of the veterans, and there may not be a good result if we catch up again." ”

"You ......" Lin

He Nian's heart was angry, and he just wanted to scold the other party, but he quickly held back again. Because he knows very well that Sun Tu is much greater than himself in terms of credit, and he has not contributed anything to today's battle at all except for the last spear, and the so-called hard war is just for self-preservation.

And he also understood that what Sun Tu said was indeed reasonable, and the Xiang army under his command naturally couldn't be counted on, and the township soldiers were exhausted at this time after repeated hard battles, and it should be the end of the strong crossbow.

So after some hesitation, Lin Henian finally sighed and accepted this fact. It's just that his heart is still full of resentment: "It's just that, otherwise you can wipe out this water bandit in one fell swoop!" This time, the tiger returns to the mountain, and there will inevitably be another catastrophe in Jiangzhou in the future. ”

The same look quickly appeared on the faces of the other soldiers, they fought so hard in today's battle, and they also paid a heavy price, but after all, they failed to exterminate the gang of fierce Jiao, so it will be even more difficult to find them in the future.

Sun Tu didn't see joy or anger on his face at this time, but he thoughtfully glanced at the small boats that had gone away and were about to disappear into the last night, and silently recited in his heart: "Is the tiger returning to the mountain?" That's what I want to see, I just hope Zhang Shun and they won't let me down......"

When the officers and soldiers regrouped in some disappointment, and planned to return to Jiangzhou City after finishing the aftermath of saving the lives and helping the wounded, the fierce water bandits who had escaped in a hurry because the leader was seriously injured had also arrived at their brand new hiding place - a small fishing village that looked completely desolate and deserted from the outside.

Because the fierce Jiao has been in trouble on the Xunyang River for a year, not only will they rob the passing merchant ships, but also sometimes attack the fishing boats by the way, so many fishermen have found another way, and many small fishing villages that make a living from this have been completely abandoned. Now, these small fishing villages have become temporary dens and nests for the gang, and their concealment is obviously on the small sandbar island.

When they saw these small boats fleeing in a hurry, the bandits who stayed in the village all showed expressions of disbelief: "Did such a well-arranged game fail to defeat the official army?" ”

But those companions who were covered in water and came back in embarrassment didn't pay attention to the meaning of this question at all, and just shouted urgently: "Quick, help us carry the big leader in, he was injured by the officers and soldiers, ......" While speaking, several people had already struggled to move Jiang Dalong, who had fallen into a coma, from the boat to the shore, and they were all exhausted, so their movements were extremely slow.

And after seeing Jiang Dalong's terrifying appearance covered in blood and his eyes closed, several left-behind people immediately panicked, hurriedly stepped forward to help set people up, and then hurriedly ran to the village, shouting: "Second leader, the big leader, he is seriously injured, he must be treated quickly!" The other bandits followed in their footsteps and drove to the village after pulling the boat into what appeared to be a dilapidated barn in front of the village.

It wasn't until their backs completely disappeared and everything had returned to calm, that there were slight waves in the river in front of them, and a head suddenly poked out from the bottom of the water, it was Zhang Shun, who was extremely water-based and had the title of white stripe in the waves!
