It was already dark, and the torches planted around the square were blown by the wind. On the high platform, the brazier is burning, and the wind blows the fire brightly, and the faces of the people on the high platform are uncertain.

On the high platform stood Zhao Liangcai and Zhao Lianghan, and behind them were two old men in green shirts. Jiang Anyi stood not far from the high platform, and could clearly see the old man's white beard fluttering in the wind. Just now, the lord of Zhao Zhai introduced that the two of them were worshiped in Qingshan Water Village, and Jiang Anyi saw that the two old men were refreshed and their eyes were shining, and they should be masters of the inner family.

It's not that the masters of the inner family are rare in the rivers and lakes, how can Qingshan Water Village become a pair as soon as it is shot, and there are at least two Black Wind Village, and Qingshan Water Village itself will never be less than two, the bottom of this Qingshan Water Village is really surprising.

There were more than 500 men standing in the square, and Zhao Liangcai was denouncing the corruption of the government and mobilizing for tonight's sortie. Jiang Anyi's gaze swept over the faces of the people around him, nervous, uneasy, and dazed, Hong Chun stood beside him, Jiang Anyi could feel that he was trembling gently, a fisherman who had been training for half a month was about to go to the battlefield to fight, how could he not be afraid.

Jiang Anyi turned his head sideways and said softly: "Cousin, you stand beside me when you get on the boat, it's okay." Hearing Jiang Anyi's words, Hong Chun obviously relaxed a lot, and his body no longer trembled.

These more than 500 people are all the belongings that can be taken out of the mixed water village, two days ago Zhao Liangtie, the owner of the three villages, disappeared, and it was the women and children in the village who disappeared with him, and the cook Aunt Ma and her second girl also left, Jiang Anyi's heart relaxed a lot, and when fighting, women and children still tried to avoid it.

"Let's go", with the sound of Zhao Zhai's master, Jiang Anyi and Hong Chun followed the leader of their team down the mountain. There are twenty-four boats parked under the water village, and there are thirty people in each boat, and the training is finally somewhat useful these days, at least to find out who the leader is. Wang Mazi stood beside a rushing boat, counting the number of people on board, Jiang Anyi and Hong Chun got on the boat in turn, Jiang Anyi was the archer, and Hong Chun stood beside him with a spear and a shield. The boat broke through the waves and marched towards the darkness, leading the team in front of the building boat of Lord Zhao Zhai, and the twenty-four warships behind followed closely.

On the river in October, the night wind was howling and bitterly cold, and many people couldn't help but shiver. The sails are swollen, the speed of going up against the current is not slow, the black and swarthy river banks on both sides are moving back quickly, Jiang Anyi looks around, according to the direction should be westward, the front should be Wuyangdu.

Zhao Liangcai just said that he would fight tonight, and did not say where to go, and now it seems that it should be Wuyangdu. Jiang Anyi knew that the officers and soldiers had built a water village in the upper reaches of Wuyangdu, where they practiced water warfare, and it seemed that there were high-ranking people among the water bandits, and they were ready to strike first.

After traveling for about half an hour, Jiang Anyi felt a shock to the hull of the ship, the sails were lowered by half, and the speed of the ship was much slower. Everyone looked at each other in surprise and discussed softly, Wang Mazi shouted in a low voice: "Don't make noise, it's the brothers of Qingshan Water Village and Heifeng Village who have arrived." With the help of the faint starlight, Jiang Anyi found that there were many black boat shadows on the open river in front of him, and it seemed that the three of them were attacking together tonight.

After a short pause, the sails were full again, and the boat moved forward quickly, and Jiang Anyi was surprised to see that the ships of the other two cottages did not follow suit, but leaned towards the reeds on both sides. Ambush, Jiang Anyi's mind flashed with thoughts, but at the moment, he was on the ship, and he was powerless to do anything at all.

After a pillar of incense, Wang Mazi's voice broke the silence, "Everyone is ready, we have arrived at Wuyangdu, not far in front of the officers and soldiers of the water village, we will teach these bitches a lesson." ”

The bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed, and many people coughed nervously. Jiang Anyi saw that the water village of the officers and soldiers in front of him was connected, and he could see the lights on the lookout platform erected high in the distance. The ship did not immediately attack, but quietly docked along the opposite shore. Everyone's nervous hearts were about to jump out, and they all knew that there were nearly 10,000 people in the water village of the officers and soldiers, and 500 people were fighting with them.

The lights in Wuyang Water Village were bright, because they were still practicing, officers and soldiers camped on the shore, and dozens of warships lined up and docked on the shore. The temporarily formed water division was drawn from the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the temporarily appointed commander of the water village was Yan Songyun, the deputy capital of Zhou Zong's enemy.

Yan Songyun is in his early forties, and has followed Zhu Zipu for more than 20 years, and has won the love of Zhu Dadu. Zhu Wennan is getting older, Zhu Zipu intends to return to the capital, and the prince is staying in the East Palace, and he is named the prince Taibao, which is the signal released by the Son of Heaven, and after Zhu Wennan's death, he is likely to take over the position of Tai Lieutenant.

The Zhu family is the "first general", and even Shen Guogong, Yi Yongbo and others were all subordinates of Taiwei Zhu, and they are the number one in the Great Zheng General. But if Zhu Wennan gets old, maybe someone will have the idea of "the first gate".

The four major metropolitan protectorates, Zhu Zipu, the governor of Anxi, Miao Tieshan, the governor of Andong, Zhu Jinfeng, and Qi Xinwen, the governor of Annan, each of them represents a large number of generals' interests. Once Zhu Zipu leaves the Anxi Grand Protector, this position is occupied by others, even if Zhu Zipu can take over as the captain, his voice in the Jiangmen will be very weak, which is very unfavorable to Zhu Yifeng's position in the future, so Zhu Zipu wants Yan Songyun to take over his position.

Military generals want to ascend to the throne, relying on their military exploits. At present, the water bandits hijacked the disaster relief grain ship, colluded with the Yuan Tianjiao to try to rebel, and the credit of a splash was placed in front of him, and Zhu Zipu pushed him to Yan Songyun. Yan Songyun was naturally grateful, comprehended, and patted his chest to ensure that he would exterminate the water bandits and live up to the trust of the governor.

Although Yan Songyun has not practiced the water master, he is a battlefield general, marching, camping, and training are his strengths, taking the lead in eating and living in the water village, and the generals under him naturally dare not slack off.

Zhao Liangcai quietly docked the fleet two miles on the opposite bank of the Guanfu Water Village, the night was dark and the wind was high, and it was late at night, and it was difficult for the officers and soldiers at the lookout to find out. However, tonight's wind is coming down from the west, which is not conducive to setting fire to the village. After a short discussion, Zhao Lianghan took the five fireboats prepared in advance and went upstream, quietly rowing upstream of the water village.

Success or failure is in a quarter of an hour, everyone's hearts are in their throats, Jiang Anyi deliberately shouted to remind Shuizhai, but in the enemy camp, even if he is strong in martial arts, he may not escape death, his own task is to be lurking, not to die, his family is still waiting for him to go back.

Not to mention Jiang Anyi's ideological struggle, just say that Zhao Lianghan led people to paddle quietly upstream, and the river uproar covered the sound of paddle. There are patrol boats in the water village, but after a tiring day during the day, and they are not familiar with the nature of the water, the officers and soldiers sent out the recruited boatmen.

Two scout boats are propped out of the water village, one down and the other down, this kind of scout boat is a modified fishing boat, suitable for patrolling the water village. Bao Ah Da and another boatman held the rod one after the other, and in the middle of the boat stood a famous officer and soldier, yawning and holding torches to look around.

Not far from the boat, the officers and men carrying torches suddenly noticed that there seemed to be movement on the opposite side, and held the torches high to look forward. Bao Ada, standing at the bow of the boat, had already found a few boats heading up, seeing that the officers and soldiers had also discovered something, stepping on the boat, the hull of the boat swayed, the officer and soldier looked forward with all his strength, did not pay attention to the feet, the hull of the boat shook, could not stand on its foot, and fell into the river with a thud.

At this time, there was a cry of surprise from downstream, "It's not good, the enemy is attacking."

was discovered, Zhao Lianghan no longer hidden, ordered someone to light the torch, and at this time he had come to more than 20 zhang upstream of the water village, and the distance was almost the same.

"Lean towards the water village." Zhao Lianghan commanded, and the fireboat under his feet was stuffed with flammable firewood, which was poured with oil, and fireworks were piled up inside.

Going down the river, the distance of more than 20 zhang is just a few breaths, and seeing the tall wooden building of the water village in front of him, Zhao Lianghan shouted loudly: "Raise the fire." ”

The torch in his hand was inserted into the firewood, and a raging fire immediately ignited, and Zhao Lianghan and the others turned over and jumped into the water, struggling to swim downstream. Seeing the fire, Zhao Liangcai shouted loudly: "Brothers, set fire to the dog officers and soldiers. ”

The shouts immediately resounded in the night sky, and more than 20 ships shot towards the water village. Five fireships had already rushed into the water village along the water, and the raging fire burned the wooden pillars of the water village, all the way to the warships on the shore.

The sound of the gong suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the water village. "Enemy attack, enemy attack", the shout woke Yan Songyun up, and it was too late to put on his armor, Yan Songyun put on his combat boots and came to the tent, only to see a fire in the Dajiang Water Village outside Lixu.

This gang of water bandits is really bold, and they actually dare to attack my water village at night. Yan Songyun was furious, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up, form a formation, the archers go to a high place to hold the formation, quickly send someone on the ship, separate the boat, don't be burned by the fire." ”

Yan Songyun was extremely prestigious in the army, and the large battalion that was shouting and panicking immediately restored order, and the officers and soldiers began to counterattack in an orderly manner under the leadership of the generals. Yan Songyun put on the armor sent by his own soldiers, and said with a cruel smile: "Go with Ben Shuai to have a look, and by the way, screw off the heads of these bandits." ”

A subordinate general flew over to report the military situation, "Commanding and handsome, there are more than 20 boats that have come to attack the bandits, and five fireboats have attacked the water village, and more than a dozen ...... our warships have been set on fire."

"Whoosh, bang", explosions came and went, the fireworks in the fire boat were ignited, splashing everywhere, and many tents near the water village were ignited. However, there was water next to the tent, and the officers and soldiers were watering the fire in a nervous and orderly manner, and the panic that Zhao Liangcai expected did not happen.

Standing on the boat, Zhao Liangcai commanded the minions to shoot the rocket into the water village, the rocket was shot on the wood of the water village, and soon it was burned, and the lookout platform in front of Jiang Anyi was burned into a cupola torch, and the officers and soldiers of the lookout jumped from it, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Jiang Anyi mechanically bent his bow and shot arrows, and on the battlefield, it was not a place to emphasize benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the arrows that officers and soldiers fired back could only know no one. The energy was scattered all around, and Jiang Anyi was able to dodge and avoid the locusts flying indiscriminately on the opposite side.

Hong Chun stood nervously beside Jiang Anyi, the warships of the officers and soldiers had not yet sailed out of the water village, and had not yet started to engage in the battle, he held a shield to shield Jiang Anyi from the arrows that came from him.

The flames soared into the sky, the arrows pierced through the air, the figures in the water village swayed, the ships surrounded the water village in a semi-arc, and the rockets intertwined back and forth, and the war had just begun.
