Under the leadership of Yang Zhi, the township soldiers showed everything they had trained in the past two months, and they cooperated with each other to fight to the death with spears and steel knives against the water bandits.

But after a period of scuffle, the problems of the villagers themselves were quickly exposed - they only practiced on land on weekdays, and few were familiar with water warfare. So now they are fighting against the fierce Jiao gang, and they are doing the same, and they are not as comfortable in advancing and retreating as they are on the shore.

If it is put in the eyes of ordinary opponents, this is not a problem, but there is Jiang Shihu in the rear who is watching coldly, and after seeing the flaw, he immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Hit their ships, they are not as good as us in water, as long as they go into the water, they are not our opponents!" ”

The fierce Jiao people have long been accustomed to obeying the orders of the second leader to fight, and when they heard this greeting in the chaotic army, some of the people who had not been able to attack for a long time changed their tactics, and after retreating a little, they rowed forward violently, and the bow of the ship hit a warship with a heavy stop, so that the two small boats almost fell apart, and both sides of the ship staggered for a while.

However, the situation on the bandits' side was obviously better than that of the villagers, and after some struggle, they quickly stabilized their bodies and jumped onto the opposite boat. However, those village soldiers were weak under their feet, and two of them were directly planted in the river in exclamations, and suddenly they were in a hurry, and it would take a lot of work to turn over and get on the boat again.

But the bandits would not give them such an opportunity, after jumping on the enemy ship, they had already quickly slashed at the villagers in front of them, and cut down the opponents who had not yet stabilized the lower plate, and then turned back and assassinated the villagers who had just worked hard to climb the side of the boat and wanted to come back in the water.

As soon as this end was opened, the arrogance of the water bandits was great, and many ships all rushed towards the village soldiers in the same way, and as long as the soldiers above were slightly flawed, they would board the ships and attack as fast as possible. Although the villagers used bows and crossbows to defend themselves during this period, and also shot down some thieves, the original stalemate and trembling situation has been completely broken, so that the officers and soldiers can only retreat slightly in order to protect themselves, so that the original airtight defense line has a crack.

Jiang Shihu wanted this result, he knew that it was impossible to win in defeat in today's situation, maybe when more officers and soldiers would hear the news, all he had to do now was to flee here with his brothers, so he gave the order to those henchmen on the ship to open the boat, and at the same time shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me!" As soon as he said this, the ship under him rushed forward with great speed, as if it was about to crash into a ship in front of him again, and frightened the villagers on the ship to turn the rudder and dodge, but did not dare to collide with them.

The other thieves did something similar, and with their superior ability to handle the boat, they were able to increase the speed of the boat in a short distance, and then rush forward at full speed. Seeing that the ship at the front was about to break through the defense, suddenly the people on board let out an exclamation: "Our ship is leaking!" ”

Originally, the strangulation and collision of these many small boats would inevitably bring the river water into the boat, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it. But now, as the distance between the two sides widened, and the battle was no longer as fierce as before, the thieves on the ship sensed that something was wrong, and the water had reached the knees of the people, and it was still rising a little higher, but the ship was slowly sinking!

"The bottom of our ship is broken!" After being surprised, someone finally found out the root of the problem and shouted in surprise. And then many of the other people on the ship let out the same exclamation: "Our ship is leaking too...... There's weirdness under the water! Someone finally thought of something, and immediately turned their attention to the river below the boat, and then they saw a black shadow quickly leaping away from below, and by the time they reacted, the figure had already disappeared when the knife and spear stabbed past.

"Whoa-" Li Jun's upper body suddenly leaked out of the river water far away from the other party, and after smiling at the guys with distorted faces, he quickly got into the water again and leaned towards the target ship again.

He and the Zhang brothers and others have all played in this Xunyang River from childhood to adulthood, in terms of familiarity with the Xunyang River, on the subtlety of underwater skills, no one in the Jiangzhou area can compare with them. The fierce Jiao was able to run rampant here before, and it only relied on the strength of the people, but now that they have the support of the officials and the army, they have been able to fully display their advantages.

Not only Li Jun, but also the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun had already sneaked under their ship when the bandits were going to fight with the officials and soldiers with all their might, and gave their boat a few eyes with the chisel in their hands. Although the eyes were not very big before they were discovered by the enemy in time, after a while, all the thief ships were flooded, let alone let them sail out of this place, and after a while, these ships would completely sink to the bottom of the river.

At this time, the cronies on Jiang Shihu's boat also noticed that there was a black shadow approaching under the water, and immediately raised his spear and stabbed it fiercely, but the other party was as agile as a swimming fish, and as soon as he turned around, he easily dodged the blow. It's just that in this way, he can't get close to the ship anymore and do anything below, so he can only retreat stupidly, and after a while, Zhang Shun's head emerges from the water, staring at the last undestroyed ship.

Just now he had already discovered that the guy on this ship was the leader of the fierce Jiao, just because there were too many enemy ships on the side to get close. Now even if the other party finds out his whereabouts, he has no intention of giving up: "Zhang Lian, avenging you is today, I will not let them go!" ”

Looking at Zhang Shun, who was not far away and would attack again at any time, and looking at those subordinates who were already unable to protect themselves, Jiang Shihu only felt a bitterness in his mouth, but how to get out this time?

Just when he was in despair, the villagers over there had already attacked again, how could Yang Zhi let go of such an opportunity? This time, if the ships of the two sides collide again, the only ones who will suffer will be those thieves who are already damaged ships.

And what made the gang even more desperate was that at this time, a sail shadow suddenly flashed in the downstream ahead, and then the earth-shattering drum and trumpet sounded again, but it was the reinforcements from the government who also arrived at this critical juncture.

When they saw that the gang of thieves were really stopped by the villagers, those Xiang soldiers were amazed and their hearts were greatly boosted, shouting and rowing their oars faster, and quickly flying towards this side, with the banner spreading, some ships quickly went upstream, blocking the last retreat of the thieves.

"Second Leader, how is this good?" The subordinates around him were completely out of idea at this time, and could only look at Jiang Shihu in confusion, and he had already fallen into despair at this time. Even if he is full of wisdom, there is nothing he can do in the encirclement of this official army.

"Retreat...... Go back! A weak voice suddenly sounded from his side, and as soon as Jiang Shihu lowered his head, he saw that his seriously injured brother had opened his eyes, and said with difficulty: "There may be another way to survive there!" ”

"Return to the village!" Without any hesitation, Jiang Shihu had already given this order, and the boat he was in immediately fell back, and the other thief ships just wanted to follow the order, but because the ship was seriously flooded and the speed was slow, they were entangled again by the official ship that had rushed to the front, but they couldn't get out, and in the end, only two small boats that were relatively lucky followed them and fled back to the entrance of the fishing village.

But just when Jiang Shihu and their boat were about to enter the fishing village, the water surface was divided, and a figure suddenly jumped up below, the person in mid-air, the harpoon in his hand had been thrown, and the person in front of the bow of the boat was stabbed and fell into the water, and the person had taken the opportunity to get on the boat, kicked out, and the person in front of him who was just about to react was also kicked into the water, and at the same time he had snatched the knife in the other party's hand, and quickly slashed into the neck of the third person, almost chopping off his entire head.

This series of movements was extremely fast, and before the other people could raise their weapons, this person had already killed three people in a row cleanly, and then roared and pounced on the remaining bandits who were already a little timid and retreated.

Maybe Zhang Heng can't compare to Li Jun and his younger brother in terms of underwater skills, but in terms of fierceness, he is far above these two. Secretly lurking here, he went straight to the culprit as soon as he made a move, and his eyes were already red at this time: "Turn over the river Jiaojiang Dalong, return my brother's life!" Before the words fell, he overturned another person and fell into the boat, and then the knife in his hand had already hit Jiang Shihu, who was obviously stunned.

Although Jiang Shihu also knows some fist and foot kung fu, but he is only a few fists and embroidered legs, and now in the face of such a fierce Zhang Heng, he is completely unable to move, he can only watch this knife split, but he can't even dodge the action.

"Second brother dodge!" Seeing that he was about to be slashed to death, Jiang Dalong, who was still wilting on the boat and seemed to be unable to move, suddenly shouted angrily, his body suddenly swept up, and he copied an oar on the side and blocked it in front of his brother.

"Poof-" Zhang Heng's knife was blocked by the oars, but Jiang Dalong's body also lost its balance and hit the side of the boat heavily, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and at the same time, the wound that had just been bandaged also burst open, and the blood had soaked half of his body.

"Brother......" Jiang Shihu suddenly exclaimed, but before he could react further, Zhang Heng slashed at him in the chest again. An unexpected scene happened, seeing that Jiang Dalong, who had run out of oil and dried up, rose up again, and at the same time blocked his brother with his body, and at the same time suffered this knife, he exerted another force in his hand, and sent Jiang Shihu to the river on the side, and shouted in his mouth: "Ten tigers, go!" Then, ignoring the knife that passed through his body, his hands suddenly reached out, and he grabbed Zhang Heng's arm with one hand, making it difficult for him to break away from him immediately.

At this time, several small boats had quickly rushed from the rear, and in this entangled process, the fierce water bandits whose boats were leaking and sinking had been crushed by the officials and soldiers, and many officers and soldiers quickly chased after them for merit.

Jiang Shihu, who was knocked down by his brother, only glanced at the rear, and saw that those brothers were either killed or captured, and he knew that this team that had been worked hard by his two brothers was completely finished, and even his brother was ......

Without a trace of hesitation, Jiang Shihu plunged into the water and quickly swam towards the fishing village, although his martial arts were extremely weak, but the water nature was not low, and he had escaped into the fishing village before the officials and soldiers rushed over.
