Chapter 50: The Trail Revealed and Blocked

After Chen Zichen listened to the report from the spies, he was not so sure, but now he can be completely sure, and he patted the book case and said: "What a bold bandit, he actually played a suspicious trick with me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Han Li, Lu Huan, and Yao Sanjiang all looked up at Chen Zichen.

I only heard Chen Zichen say: "Originally, I wasn't sure that the water bandits would gather troops, and I thought that they would come at most to make small moves, but now their trick is simply not a self-recruitment." I want to use someone to lead us into their encirclement, hum, what a Xu Mao, when I catch you, I want to see where you are sacred. ”

"General, what are we going to do?" Han Li asked.

"This time we must catch them all, but the cost of the loss may be large, but it will be good to wait until the bandits are eliminated." Chen Zichen said.

Chen Zichen paused, thought about it, and said: "Immediately prepare ten old ships, send soldiers to stand guard outside each ship, one of the boats, let people bed my clothes and your clothes." Chen Zichen said to Han Li.

"General, this is another ecstasy array, waiting for them to jump out." Han Li knew what Chen Zichen meant after thinking about it slightly, and said with a smile.

"Haha, I want them to know what it means to be rude and not rude." Chen Zichen laughed.

"Luhuan, Sanjiang. The two of you lead the troops to slowly surround from the flanks, and you must not alarm the bandits, and as soon as the bandits move, you will surround them. Chen Zichen ordered at the two people.

Yao Sanjiang's mood at this time is complicated, not long ago, he was still a water bandit in charge, but now he has become the person who wants to exterminate the water bandits, it is the world that makes people.

"Are you ready?" Du Bantian looked at Xu Mao and asked.

Xu Mao nodded, and said to Scarface, When we succeed in the ambush, you will take two thousand brothers to kill directly, how many can you kill, and you must not fall in love with the war. The military advisor Xu Mao kept instructing Scarface.

"Okay, this time I must let these sailors see how powerful I am." Du didn't know when his confidence returned, and he returned to the first time he fought Chen Zichen head-on.

Although the military advisor Xu Mao was also confident, he obviously still had a little worry in his heart, after all, he was not dealing with Han Li, but Chen Zichen, who was becoming more and more mature and almost demonic.

Xu Mao prayed for success, hoping that this time he could fight a turnaround battle for the water bandits.

"What's wrong? Strategist, are you not feeling well? Look at your bad face. Du asked with concern.

"Oh, no, it's just a little worried." Xu Mao said.

"Hey, there's nothing to worry about, I don't believe it, that surnamed Chen has great powers, he can pinch and calculate, and he knows that I am right under his nose." Du Bantian said proudly.

Clearly, he was confident in this fight.

"Look... Suddenly Scarface said.

Following the direction Scarface pointed to, sure enough, Du Bantian and Xu Mao saw several ships of the navy slowly sailing out, and one of them seemed to be standing Chen Zichen and Han Li.

However, Xu Mao always felt that something was wrong, and looking at the boats sailing over, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Before Xu Mao could think about it more, he saw ten warships slowly approaching their ambush place.

It seemed that it was coming for them, and the sailors on the ship were ready with bows and arrows, and suddenly shot out, directly killing the water bandits who were used as bait.

Seeing that all the sailors entered the ambush site. Xu Mao still didn't give the order. Du couldn't wait for a long time, and directly ordered: "Shoot." ”

I saw that the strong crossbows on both sides were fired directly, and the arrow feathers directly shot many people of the navy, and the sailors on the boat branch shot arrows desperately to both sides.

Xu Mao, who had been observing the navy, felt that something was wrong, and it stands to reason that in the event of an ambush, no matter what, the soldiers should also protect Chen Zichen and Lang General Han Li, who were generals, and now these soldiers did not protect them, Xu Mao immediately ordered a retreat.

Du Bantian was stunned by such an order, and even Scarface didn't know what was wrong when he wanted to go out.

"Hurry up, otherwise it's too late, this is the bait of the water army." Xu Mao tried his best to shout this sentence desperately.

Du Bantian really wanted to fight, but he knew that Xu Mao would not talk nonsense, and his analysis may be reasonable, Du Bantian chose to retreat not out of his own reason, but out of trust in Xu Mao.

Scarface had no choice but to follow them.

"Where to go?" I only heard Lu Huan shouting.

Looking in the direction where the voice came, I saw that Lu Huan led the water army to attack directly, if the water bandits were not panicked, they might be able to suppress Lu Huan with a strong crossbow, but now, people are prone to accidents when they panic.

I saw that the arrows and feathers in the sky were shooting towards the water bandits, Xu Mao ordered people to hurry up, and organized people to start a counterattack.

This ambush was very unsuccessful, and in the end it was stealing chickens and rice.

Indeed, as mentioned earlier, if the crossbow was reasonably arranged to counterattack, Lu Huan could not easily get close to the ships of the bandits.

The counterattack organized by Xu Mao just now successfully made Lu Huan dare not move forward easily, after all, ordinary arrow feathers do not have the range and power of a strong crossbow.

Du Bantian let out a long sigh, if he had the slightest hesitation just now and didn't listen to Xu Mao's words, then he would have been shot into a sieve by now.

Even Scarface had to admire Xu Mao's alertness.

"Strategist, how did you find out something was wrong just now?" Du Bantian asked.

Scarface also listened curiously.

Xu Mao sighed and said, "Alas. I just found out that when we were shooting, none of the soldiers protected the two generals in front of us, but let us shoot them, and I felt that something was wrong, and I also found out just now that they came out of old and dilapidated ships. ”

I can't praise anything else, I can only say that Xu Mao is really observant.

"Okay, look... Du Bantian originally wanted to praise Xu Mao, but the obstacles in front of him made him nervous.

Slowly controlling the speed of the boat, I saw that the person standing in front of me was their former second master, Yao Sanjiang.

Looking at this posture, Du Bantian and Xu Mao both understood that Yao Sanjiang had surrendered.

"Boss Du, Master Xu, don't come unharmed." Yao Sanjiang asked.

"Okay, you Yao Sanjiang, you ungrateful villain. I didn't treat you well at the beginning. Du Bantian pointed at Yao Sanjiang and scolded.

Xu Mao glanced at Du Bantian, and then said to Yao Sanjiang with a smile: "Second master, you have suffered, it is the fault of the brothers, for the sake of the previous relationship, can you give us a way today?" ”

Yao Sanjiang is a man of temperament in the end, with a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, hearing Xu Mao say this, he was also a little emotional, and his relationship with Xu Mao was still good at the beginning.

"My lord, can you rest assured that you let Yao Sanjiang intercept Du for a long time." Lu Huan did not pursue Du for a long time, but joined up with Chen Zichen, who was supervising the battle.

Chen Zichen shook his head, naturally expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Then why.." Lu Huan asked a little puzzled.

Chen Zichen said with a smile: "Yao Sanjiang still has some affection for the water bandits in his heart, take this opportunity to let him do a job, and he will be able to serve the water army wholeheartedly in the future." ”

Lu Huan nodded, in the end, he was a person who was appreciated by the king, and at a young age, he asked the king to promote him regardless of the opposition of the courtiers. I still don't see the long-term enough.

"Okay, Xu Junshi, for your sake today, I should repay you this love, if you meet in the future, it will be a meeting between soldiers and brothers, not thinking about the old love." Yao Sanjiang said categorically.

Xu Mao arched his hand, expressed his gratitude, and grabbed Du Bantian, who was about to have a seizure, and hurriedly sailed away quickly.

Yao Sanjiang naturally gave way to a waterway.

..

"General, the guilty minister asks the general to surrender." Yao Sanjiang knelt on the board of the boat and knelt down to confess to Chen Zichen, who had just come.

Chen Zichen knew that Yao Sanjiang would do this, and he didn't intend to blame him, but he still said: "Hmph, what a big boldness, dare to let go of the water bandits without permission." It's not an exaggeration to cut off your head. ”

Chen Zichen pretended to be angry and scolded.

Yao Sanjiang knelt silently, just waiting for Chen Zichen to give the order to dispose of him.

"Remembering that you had a relationship with the water bandits before, this time I will remember it first, and order you to immediately pursue the water bandits, take down Du Bantian's head, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, can you do it?" Chen Zichen said unhurriedly.

"The criminal minister will never live up to the high expectations of the general." Yao Sanjiang naturally knew that Chen Zichen was giving him a chance, so he immediately said.

Saying this, under Chen Zichen's gaze, he turned the bow of the boat and chased after the route that Du had left for half a day.
