Chapter 895: Night Attack
Half an hour later, in a narrow bay six or seven miles away from the camp where Huang Shigong and others usually gathered, ten fishing boats finally landed after nearly three hours of long-distance turbulence.
When you step on land, the whole person is still spinning, as if the whole island is still undulating and shaking.
After resting for half an hour, after simply eating some dry food and drinking water, Chen Xu and the others felt that their souls had found their bodies, at this time the sky was completely dark, and they could only see the vague situation of only more than ten zhang around, checking the knives, guns, bows and crossbows and fire grenades, leaving two guards and a group of fishermen to guard the fishing boats, and the rest of the people all followed a few boatmen to explore Huangshi Gong's camp.
Huangshi Gong's camp is in the northwest of the island, and Chen Xu and others are in the southwest, although the two sides are not far apart, but there is a low ridge in the middle, and the island is densely packed with trees and thorns, the wild grass is half a person high, there is no road at all, but the boatman who led the way has lived on this deserted island with Huang Shigong and others for two or three years, so he is very familiar with this island.
"Lords follow carefully, although the island is difficult to navigate, there are no beasts except for some insects and snakes......"
A few boatmen led the way in front, and a group of guards scattered around to protect Chen Xu and others in the center, one foot taller and the first foot slowly walked through the woods in the dark, the straight-line distance was only three miles, but it took half an hour.
After crossing the mountain beam, you can already hear men, women, and children talking, and even the sound of crying, scolding, and scolding.
"Be careful, there is a water spring not far ahead, and all the water on the island depends on this water spring, and someone may guard it!" A boatman whispered a reminder.
"Go and observe a few people, and if there is a sentry, kill it first!" Chen Xu commanded, several guards took the order, and more than ten minutes later, a guard returned to report: "Childe, there are really three ink disciples guarding the water spring, all of them have been killed, and the companions have gone to explore the way!" ”
"Let's go!" Chen Xu waved his hand, and a group of people moved forward again, and the woods in front of them slowly began to become open, and a large number of trees and thorns should have been cut down to repair the dock and houses.
A group of people cautiously walked forward more than ten zhang again, and sure enough, they saw a water spring, surrounded by rocks and thorns, and the three ink disciples all fell next to the spring, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Childe, if you want to do it, you have to hurry, if there is only this water spring on this island, maybe someone will come to fetch water soon!" Xiao He reminded in a low voice again.
Chen Xu looked at the bonfire on the beach not far away and the figures coming and going, hesitated for a moment and said: "Right now, there are not only Motu Fangshi and boatmen on the island, but also many innocent women, boys, girls and children, all mixed together, if you use Taiyi Divine Thunder to attack, you will inevitably hurt innocent!" ”
"Childe, Concubine Hou's safety is paramount, you must not be a woman's kindness, first attack with Taiyi Divine Thunder, the ink disciples and Fang Shi will inevitably be chaotic, and then we will rush over to rescue Concubine Hou!" Liu Bang couldn't help but say.
"No, I can't hurt the innocent, a few of you put on the boatman's clothes and go into the camp to investigate, it's best to find Qingrou's whereabouts, so that we won't be untargeted, as long as we rescue Qingrou, it's best to take the opportunity to capture a big boat, so that we can return to Langya safely!" Chen Xu shook his head.
"Shhh
Just as a few guards were about to change clothes with the boatmen, a whispered reminder came from not far ahead, and sure enough, three boatmen were soon seen holding torches and clay pots along the path to get water.
"Don't get killed, stay alive!" Chen Xu commanded in a low voice, and several guards rushed out of the darkness before the torches could get close to the water spring, and before the three boatmen could come to their senses, they saw several fierce warriors surrounding them.
"Ah......" The boatman with the torch just opened his mouth to exclaim, poof, the sword light swept through his throat, and the sound stopped abruptly when a stream of blood spurted out, and before he could fall down, he was supported by a guard and dragged to the thorn bush, and the torch that fell on the ground was also picked up, and almost at the same time, the remaining two boatmen had been hugged by several guards and pressed to the ground.
"Say, where is Huang Shigong? Where are the women who were captured at sea today? Chen Xu squatted in front of a boatman and asked in a cold low voice.
"Hmm...... I don't know, I don't know The boatman shook his head desperately.
"If you don't know, you'll die!" The leader of the guard rested his broadsword on the boatman's neck.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the big ship returned here today, Huang Shigong has not appeared, and I don't know the whereabouts of the few little ladies who were captured, they should all be still on the boat......" Another boatman lay on the ground in horror and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Childe, they didn't lie, we used to spend most of our time rowing in the bilge of the ship, or carrying goods, those ink disciples and Fang Shi usually looked at us to death, and we couldn't walk around on the ship......," a middle-aged boatman who led the way also whispered.
This is a little troublesome, Chen Xu feels that he has lost his square inch.
Huang Shi Gong did not get off the boat, Shui Qingrou and others were nowhere to be seen, so the biggest possibility was also locked in the boat, if there was no target to attack in the night, as long as there was a slight wind and grass Huang Shi Gong would inevitably leave by boat, so that if you want to find it again in the vast sea, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Huang Shi Gong died or not Chen Xu didn't care, what he cared about was the safety of the water gentle, not to mention that even if he found the right big ship to attack Huang Shi Gong, Huang Shi Gong would inevitably use the water gently as a hostage, and the water would be more dangerous at that time.
What's more, there are hundreds of ink disciples, alchemists and shipwrights on the island, plus the women and children who have been captured, once a large-scale conflict breaks out, there will inevitably be heavy casualties, and this island is more than 100 miles away from the mainland, and the guns and bullets cannot be supplied at all, each child carries two grenades and ten rounds of ammunition, once consumed, it will definitely be trapped on the island by Huangshi Gong and slowly killed, even if they don't kill, as long as they transport all the food away or simply burn it, they will starve to death in ten days and half a month, and the hope of waiting for Langya's officers and soldiers to save them is too slim, the main thing is that there are no large boats, and smaller fishing boats simply cannot reach such a long distance.
"Childe, it seems that Huang Shigong is also preparing us to attack the camp, we can't attack indiscriminately without a target, and it will be even more dangerous once we are besieged on the island!" Xiao He reminded in a low voice.
Everyone else also looked at Chen Xu.
"How many boats are there on the island today, but which one is the one you are on Yellowstone Fair Day?" Chen Xu took a few deep breaths to calm down his mood and continued to ask.
At present, he is the backbone of this group of people, a group of guards and teenagers are all obedient, although Xiao He, Cao Shen and Liu Bang also decided to follow him, but they still will not blindly follow him, after all, they are just ordinary low-level officials and gangsters, and they have not yet begun to dominate the ambition and ability to dominate the world.
What's more, there are too few people brought by Chen Xu, dozens of people deal with thousands of people in a mess, even if Chen Xu really has immortal skills, he doesn't dare to guarantee that they can go back alive, the variables are too big.
"Back to the old man, there are currently six big ships on the island, two of which are seriously damaged, but the remaining four don't know which ship Huangshi Gong is on!"
"Childe, why don't you wait until dawn to figure out the specific whereabouts of Huangshi Gong and Concubine Hou before making arrangements?" Cao Shen whispered.
"You can't wait until dawn, once dawn maybe Huangshi Gong will leave for you, and then the chances will be even slimmer!" Liu Bang shook his head.
"Change your clothes first, go into the camp and investigate first, it's best to catch one or two ink disciples and ask!" Seeing that he couldn't ask for any useful information, Chen Xu had to stand up and order a group of guards and boatmen to change their clothes first.
Ten minutes later, the clothes of the two captured boatmen and the four killed boatmen were stripped off by the guards and put on, and the clothes of the remaining boatmen who accompanied the way, also took off and put on several guards, and the leader of the guards gave an order, and more than a dozen people quickly disappeared into the woods.
What followed was an anxious and long wait.
Half an hour passed, and with the chirping of a few night birds, a group of guards finally returned one after another, bringing back two ink disciples and two alchemists respectively.
In the cabin of a large ship docked in the bay, Huang Shigong leaned against the bulkhead with his eyes closed and meditated with a pale face and messy beard, his upper body was wrapped in thick linen, but there was still blood and water constantly seeping out, Gai Nie's sword with all his strength almost cut through his chest, and then attacked Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin three times in a row and grabbed back the water gently, the injury was more serious than the last time he was injured by Yu Wuya with a firecracker.
Suddenly, there were a few birdsong sounds in the night sky, and Huang Shigong suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"Father, why are you so nervous?" Huang Tianqiong, who had been guarding the door of the cabin, hurriedly asked.
"Qiong'er, have you ever heard a birdsong just now?" Huang Shigong listened attentively again and asked with a solemn face.
"When the child hears it, it's just the night song of the seabird, and the father needs not worry!"
"No, this is the sound of a yellow bird, it's different from a seabird!" Huang Shigong shook his head.
"You're saying a stranger has come to the island?" Huang Tianqiong's face was a little flustered in an instant.
"The old man is just guessing, you go down to investigate, arrange for the disciples to guard the grain and the ship, as long as we wait until dawn and we will leave!"
"Yes, Father!" Huang Tianqiong turned to leave, and soon countless torches were lit up near several large ships and camps, and hundreds of ink disciples with bows and crossbow weapons began to patrol around the camp, and the originally quiet beach suddenly became noisy.
"It's not good, it looks like Huang Shigong has discovered us!" In the woods, Xiao He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"What about discovery? This is a matter of time, now that I know the location of Huangshi Gong, I am afraid that Qingrou is also on that ship! ”
Although Chen Xu's face is very ugly, but now the beach is full of torches, a large number of ink disciples appeared, and the situation on the entire beach and the big boat can also be clearly seen, the shadows of the six big ships are very eye-catching among the bear's shaking torches, and according to the confession of the two Fang Shi and the two ink disciples, Huang Shigong is on the middle of the big ship, and as expected, the captured Shui Qingrou and the other two women are also on the big boat.
In addition to the boiling water, there were two other women, Chen Xu could probably guess that one of them was Gongsun Beiyan, who was almost inseparable from Gai Nie, but the other one didn't know who it was.
"Master Hou, someone is coming, what should I do?" The head of the guard asked.
"No matter, I'm going to kill ......" Chen Xu reached out and took out the handcuff that had already been filled with gunpowder on his waist, "The guards rushed forward to kill and cause chaos, and the muskets then attacked those who were holding torches, remember the three-stage alternate shooting, Xiao He Cao Shen Liu Liu Bang followed me, remember the use of the Taiyi Divine Thunder in Fangcai, don't make a mistake, out"
Chen Xu waved his hand at the seven or eight shaking torches, except for the two guards who were close to protect Chen Xu, the remaining ten or so guards pounced out like wild wolves, and the twenty teenagers who followed also nervously and excitedly raised the fire guns and rushed out.
"Go" Chen Xu didn't care about the remaining few boatmen who led the way and the ink disciples and Fang Shi who were knocked unconscious and thrown on the ground, and took Xiao He and the three of them to follow in stride.
