Chapter 416: Bandits in the Lake

The fleet sailed to the north shore, naturally wanting to take the opportunity to destroy the ships on the north shore, of course, even if the bandits had escaped by boat, they could also take advantage of the situation to pursue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, Xiang Chong led people to spare no effort to row forward.

It's just that, after all, these people are two knives, and there are not many people who have rowed the boat at all, they seem to work hard, but they have little effect, and the speed of the boat is not much faster than before.

Xiang was so inflated that he stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do. Boating is a technical job, and it is not something that can be done in a desperate way.

Fortunately, after rowing for a while, everyone gradually became familiar with the nature of the boat, and the speed also improved, and Xiang Chong was finally satisfied.

However, even so, by the time the fleet had rounded the northern shore, it was still a step too late, and five boats had already left the shore and fled quickly towards Hubei, and the direction was Weishan Island, the largest island in the lake.

Sure enough, as Wu Jue expected, Xiang Chong was pleasantly surprised, but he gave another order.

He hijacked five boats, plus the original two, for a total of seven. Xiang Chong ordered five of the boats to pursue, while he led two boats to patrol the circle around Huangshan Island.

It is also an act that follows the established guidelines. Wu Jue was worried that Hu Ye might be hiding the boat secretly, and this inspection was precisely the purpose, as long as Hu Ye dared to show up alone, he could capture it.

However, it is said that on the lake, the five boats fled quickly, and the five boats pursued closely behind, and this escape and chase formed a very wonderful picture.

In fact, there were not many people on both ships, only three or four people per boat, that is to say, they were all light ships.

However, the ship is different from the ship, the ship in front is obviously much faster than the ship in the rear, and the distance between the two sides is getting wider and wider, while the ship in front is already close to Weishan Island, and the boat behind is only halfway there.

Even so, the ship behind is persevering, as if it will not give up until it catches up with the ship in front.

Seeing this, the ships in front seemed to be intentional, and they gradually slowed down, as if waiting for the ships behind, but when the ships behind were a little closer, they suddenly accelerated again.

It's a cat-and-mouse practice, as long as they are on the boat, they think they are invincible, you can't even catch up with the boat, how can you talk about pursuit?

However, things are so strange, just when you think you have a chance to win, something goes wrong, and for those fugitives, this time the problem is not small, it is simply a fatal problem.

When the fleeing boat just sailed to the side of Weishan Island, nearly twenty boats suddenly rushed out from the north side of Weishan Island, and these ships were semi-surrounded and arranged, like a giant *** with a big mouth open and swallowing them into its stomach.

The five boats finally panicked, thinking that there were only pursuers, but it turned out that this was their killer weapon.

Rush out. As if there was a tacit understanding, the five boats hurriedly turned and tried to get out of the side.

However, the flotilla seemed to understand their thoughts, and with a wave of the bunting on one of the larger ships in the middle, five boats had already maneuvered to that side and blocked head-on.

Knock them over. Without slowing down, the five bandit boats crashed straight into the five boats.

The bunting waved again, but the five boats sideways avoided it, as if to make way for them.

The boat was delighted, and eagerly wanted to pass through the cracks. But what they didn't expect was that these five boats had already prepared, and they saw that each boat "hoo, hoo, hoo" threw down several jars, all of which smashed on top of the bandit boats.

The jar shattered, and a large amount of tung oil flowed out, quickly filling the cabin, and then several torches flew in, and in the blink of an eye the ship was set on fire.

These people are really bad enough to set the boat on fire, and no matter how fast the boat runs, it will not help, the ship will soon sink, and everyone on board will have to be buried with it.

Without hesitation, the bandits on the boat jumped into the water in unison, as if to see if they could swim out.

It's just that the idea is good, but no matter how fast the individual swims, he can't swim as fast as the boat, and soon several boats catch up, and some hooks stick out from them, and drag them directly to the side of the boat, and the big knife is also on the neck.

More than 20 people were so wet that they were fished out of the water, and someone immediately stepped forward and asked, "Which one is Lord Hu?" ”

No one answered, and the back of a knife smashed into a person's body at once, and the knife man threatened: "If you don't say anything more, I will kill you on the spot." ”

The shock had an effect, and finally one person said: "Lord Hu is still on the island, not here." ”

The news soon reached the command ship, and Wu Jue said secretly: "Sure enough, the old fox still has a way back." ”

Ordering the captives to be sent back to shore, Wu Jue commanded the fleet to continue to march towards Huangshan Island, and he wanted to take the opportunity to capture Hu Ye alive.

It's just that Wu Jue came too late, as early as not long after the five boats fled from the shore, a light boat on the west side of Huangshan Island quietly sailed away from the shore of the island and quickly rushed towards the west shore of Weishan Lake.

When Xiang Chong saw this Ye Xiaozhou, the boat had already sailed away, and he could only regret chasing after him, but how could his boat catch up with Ye Zhou?

The boat was close to the shore, and three people came down from the boat, one of them was of medium stature, and on the surface he looked very ordinary, and those who did not know would not care about him, but the two people behind him were respectful in front of him.

"Master Hu, are we going to give up everything on the island?" One of them was holding a small wooden box in his arms, his face was a little pale, and he reluctantly glanced at Huangshan Island in the distance and said.

"Second child, what can I do if I don't give up?" The man who looked ordinary replied, "I don't know what kind of ruthless people are here this time, but their means are to annihilate all of us, and if we don't escape, we won't have a chance." ”

As soon as you ask and answer, you can know that these two people are the eldest and second eldest of this nest of bandits, and that ordinary person is naturally the ruthless Lake Master.

If Gao Feng saw this person here, he would be greatly amazed, people should not be seen, and the cruelty of this person could not be seen just from the physiognomy.

"Master Hu, could it be the owner of the boat we robbed before? He's an official, and he might be able to mobilize people. The second child asked.

"It's unlikely." Hu Ye analyzed, "Although we have been in the grass here for some time, the real reputation has only recently gone out, that person is not a local, it is impossible to transfer soldiers and horses so quickly." ”

"Who could that be?" The second child asked.

"If nothing else, it should be him." Hu Ye said thoughtfully.

"Who?"

"Feng' county magistrate." Hu Ye said fearfully: "I have heard that this person is powerful for a long time, so our range of activities has never entered his realm, but we still provoked him, so we sent someone to kill us." ”

"Is it because of the old man?" The second child asked.

"Exactly." Hu Ye said regretfully, "We shouldn't have detained that old man, if we only robbed some money, he might not have made such a stir, but the person who detained him, he naturally refused to give up, from this matter, we can see that what we did before was a little improper, alas, we have to change our methods in the future." ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

But before his words fell, five and a half children came out of the grass next to him, and one of them said, "Master Hu, you can't go!" ”
