Seeing that this group of thieves was about to be wiped out, a shout of killing sounded again from the east side of the island, and the dozens of bandits who were shocked that the situation was not good and gave up the attack on the official ships finally followed Sun Tu's footsteps and rushed back to the island, and without hesitation, they launched an attack on the township soldiers who were superior to their own troops.

This time it was really a bit unexpected by Sun Tu, some of the villagers who were facing the enemy had just wanted to turn around to meet the enemy, and they had already fallen from arrows. At the same time, those water bandits who had been trapped to death and were about to lose their fighting spirit also perked up after discovering that reinforcements had arrived, and some people shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Jiangzhou soldiers will not be able to resist, kill them with me!" ”

But as soon as he said this, a steel knife had been slashed from the side, its speed was so fast that he didn't have time to parry, the weapon in his hand had just been raised more than halfway, the knife had already slashed into his neck, with a scream before he died, Sun Tu had kicked him away, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Brother Lu, you take people back to intercept, let them know that my Jiangzhou township soldiers are different from ordinary officers and soldiers!" ”

Luda immediately agreed, and the Zen staff in his hand danced to force the two enemies back, and then waved his hand: "Come with the Sprinkle family!" Regardless of how many people followed him, he turned around and swooped towards the enemy behind him.

When the bowstring sounded, several sharp arrows were already shooting head-on with the sound of the wind, but Luda only waved the Zen staff in his hand in front of him, and the more than sixty pounds of iron and water mill Zen staff had already knocked all the nearby arrows to the ground, but he couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

Stained with his light, the thirty or so villagers who followed up did not have to worry about the cold arrows shot at all, as long as they followed Ruda, they could launch an attack on the enemy. The two sides soon collided head-on and slaughtered. And at this time, Luda's courage in foot combat was also completely displayed, when he opened the Zen staff and completely displayed the tricks such as sweeping and smashing and stabbing, those thieves had no ability to parry at all, as long as they were hit by a cane, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they fell to the ground screaming. As for the village soldiers who followed them, what they had to do was to take the opportunity to harvest the lives of these thieves.

After the first dozen or so people were all easily dealt with by Ruda, the remaining dozen or so people finally felt fear. At this time, the remaining water bandits were finally annihilated by Sun Tu's team, and even if they were alive, they had already been knocked out of their weapons and pressed to the ground, unable to fight back.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, these thieves immediately turned around and ran towards the river behind, they were still bold, and only the thought of escaping was left at this time. Seeing this, Ruda took a big stride to chase after him, he was tall enough, and his steps were big, and in a blink of an eye, he knocked over three more people, and the last two people could only grit their teeth and turn around after hearing this movement, and stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

But Ruda was prepared, and he only swept out the Zen staff in his hand without dodging or dodging, and the two knives were broken and flew out by him, and he took the opportunity to raise his foot and kick forward, and kicked the two thieves who had no intention of fighting again because of the crack of the tiger's mouth into a rolling gourd.

It's just that after such a delay, the last three thieves were able to jump into the river, and when Ruda and the people arrived there, they couldn't even see their shadows. Seeing this, Ruda, who was not water-impregnable, could only snort hatefully: "These thieves are running fast!" ”

At this time, the battle behind him has completely stopped, and all the bandits who stayed on the island have been eliminated, and Sun Tu has also walked over with the blood-stained steel knife, and after hearing Lu Da's angry words, he comforted him: "Brother Lu, please calm your anger, it's just a few fish that have slipped through the net, and you can't make any waves." ”

Luda smiled, then turned around to look at the situation on the island, and said with some confusion: "This is to annihilate all the fierce Jiao and a group of thieves who were blown into the sky?" That's all they can do? "The last question was not spoken, if this is the case, then what is the incompetence of the Jiangzhou officials and soldiers who have made them suffer on the Xunyang River for nearly a year?

Sun Tu didn't see joy on his face, but frowned slightly: "Brother Lu, you can also see that there is something wrong here, right?" There are only seventy or eighty thieves on this island, and there are no powerful people, how can this be a fierce Jiao who has been in trouble for many years? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Tang Feng had already hurried over with doubts on his face: "Tuan Lian, the brothers have searched the island, except for these thieves who were annihilated and taken by us, there is no one else here. And...... The houses on the island are also empty, not only are there no weapons, but even food is only enough for a hundred people for three or five days, which is not like a thief's den at all. ”

Ruda was stunned again when he heard this: "How can this be? ”

Sun Tu seemed quite calm: "As early as when we were caught in fishing nets outside the island, I noticed that something was wrong here. Come to think of it, this kind of arrangement will not only trap our government ships here, but it will also hinder the movement of the bandits themselves, how can they cut themselves off? The only explanation is that they have been prepared for a long time and specially arranged this bureau to deal with our Jiangzhou officers and soldiers. ”

"Are you saying that they expected the officers and soldiers to come and destroy them, so they laid a trap here? How is this possible? How could they possibly know the movements of the officers and troops? Ruda suddenly changed color and asked.

Sun Tu's face became more and more solemn: "This is the real key." This should be the reason why the fierce Jiao can run rampant in the Jiangzhou area and repeatedly defeat the official army. And now, since they have set up this situation, of course, it is impossible for them to trap our officers and troops near this small sandbar island. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Tu's gaze had returned to the official warships surrounding the island. At this time, because there was no longer a bandit attack, the officers and soldiers who had been in chaos had finally stabilized again, and the flames on the ship had been extinguished by them, and many people were cutting the fishing nets below with swords, trying to free themselves from the nets as soon as possible.

Farther away, although the handsome ship was still stranded there, there were already people thinking about moving around, and it might not be long before they could get out of trouble.

Sun Tu's mood suddenly became nervous at this moment, and he immediately said to a subordinate: "Use a torch to give Lin Dujian a light to warn them that there will be an enemy attack, be careful!" ”

These words made everyone stunned for a while, but these villagers had long been accustomed to obeying Sun Tu's orders, and at this time, they agreed, and they had already waved the torch in their hands and sent a relevant signal to the handsome ship in the distance.

At this time, Lin Henian on the handsome boat was directing his subordinates to get out of trouble, while looking at the battle situation on the island in front of him that had calmed down with some emotion. Although because of the darkness and distance, he did not have a clear view of the battle that took place on the island. But from the result of being completely calm now, it has already let him know that Sun Tu and his people have completely defeated the bandits on the ship and achieved the final victory.

This made Lin Dujian, who was the main general of this crackdown on thieves, feel ashamed and unpleasant, and he couldn't imagine that today's battle would finally rely on Sun Tu and the village soldiers to win, otherwise I am afraid that the thousands of troops led by him will really be defeated on this small island.

Just when he sighed in his heart and didn't know how to accept this result, there was such an unexpected warning signal on the island ahead, and after understanding the meaning, Lin Henian was stunned: "Hasn't the thief been exterminated, where is the enemy coming?" Do you say ......"

Suddenly, he remembered the defeat in March, and suddenly became vigilant: "Come on, transfer all the crossbowmen to the outside of the officer, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time." "On that day, there was a main force of bandits who attacked their own fleet from behind, which led to the defeat in March.

Not long after the full carriage army moved and concentrated all the bows and crossbows on the outside, a roar suddenly came from the quiet night, and then there was a bang, and clusters of fires lit up on the calm river, and dozens of small boats were coming down the river, attacking the officers and soldiers who were still unable to move in front of the island.

"Shoot me the arrows!" At this time, Lin Henian's face was pale, looking at the hundreds of thieves who were constantly killing, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and at the same time, he was afraid for a while. If Sun Tu hadn't reminded him in time, I'm afraid that the surprise attack after these thieves secretly approached would have caused the sergeants of this ship to mess up.

But this time, things are different. Don't look at the terrifying number of ships, but he was prepared, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask for orders to lead troops to suppress the bandits again this time.

The vans on the handsome boat were all carefully selected by Lin Henian, and the original intention was to be ashamed, so even though he was a little flustered at this time, he did not lose his sense of proportion like his comrades on the small boat in front of him. Moreover, the bows and crossbows in their hands are unusual, only seven or eight buckets of soft bows, and all of them are strong bows and hard crossbows with one stone.

As soon as the enemy rushed into range of the crossbows, the crossbowmen did not need to be ordered to shoot the enemy.

At this time, the people who came by boat were the elite of the fierce Jiao gang, all of whom were bloodied with their hands, and they were the most brave and easy to kill. At this time, even though they saw that the officers and soldiers were on guard, they did not have the slightest fear, but controlled the small boat under them and rushed forward at a faster speed. After seeing the officers and soldiers release their arrows, these people didn't take it too seriously, because they decided that the range of the officers and arrows was limited and they couldn't hurt themselves at all.

But the subsequent result was greatly unexpected - before the bandits on the two ships could react defensively, a large number of arrows had broken through the air, and directly killed all the fifteen or sixteen people on the two boats on the river.

The two-leaf boat suddenly lost its human control, and immediately slowed down and hit horizontally, just blocking the path of the ships behind, and several clippers collided with each other, and suddenly made a mess in front of the officers and soldiers.
