The three flagships of the Ping'an returned to Guangfu with Dengzhou specialties, and the spice island was still waiting for them to be lucky, and every trip was a lot of money.

Moreover, a freshwater river like the Yellow River is not suitable for the Ping'an to exercise, and the volume and draft are not suitable in all aspects.

Therefore, Lin Sen is a local large ship in the style of a sand boat, which is more suitable for inland driving, and the flatter and wider hull will be more stable, and of course there will be a lot more cargo.

The one Lin Sen rented is the largest model that can be seen here, and such a boat will be more comfortable.

On the entire ship, Lin Sen and his guards accounted for the majority of the personnel, except for the necessary crew, which ensured that the ship could be driven normally to the closest place to Chang'an City, and did not bring too many additional people up.

The Ping An has a lot of crew members who are ready to fight at any time, but it is not so calm in the open sea, and they are all existences that can be turned into warships at any time, so naturally they need to bring more manpower.

And the sand boat that Lin Sen is on now is not necessary, there is nothing expensive on the whole ship except for himself.

Lin Sen didn't think that those bandits would come to fight for a boatload of dried fish, but they also had to do some homework, so they wouldn't be so hungry and hungry.

And the news that he is about to return to Chang'an, the number of people who know is relatively limited, at least along the line from Dengzhou to Lingnan, he basically knows that this matter is his partner, and there is no reason to sell him.

What's more, the sand boat under his seat was hired casually after he arrived in Dengzhou, affected by the flood, and the commerce and trade in Dengzhou were not as busy as those in Panyu, and there were many ships that could be used, both large and small, so Lin Sen felt that his whereabouts should not be so easy to leak.

After all, it's not just a phone call in the future that can let people thousands of miles away know your location, and it takes a lot of time to receive the letter.

And in addition to being more comfortable to run back by boat, it is also less easy to be ambushed, its position is too erratic, and it cannot be intercepted casually, and the size of this big sand boat is not so easy to handle.

And if you go by land, if you really encounter an ambush, it is often a pocket array, and it takes a lot of hands and feet.

has been so disagreeable with the big family members, it has reached the point of not dying, and there was a previous incident when Ping An almost encountered an accident before, so Lin Sen was so concerned about his safety.

also consciously made his own arrangements quite comprehensive, and the possibility of encountering an accident should not be great, so in addition to arranging for the guards to stay vigilant, he lived in a simple house.

There are fewer times to get off the boat and rest along the way, just to reduce the possibility of being known by the enemy.

Of course, on the other hand, I really miss my wife and children, and I am anxious to rush back, so I don't want to delay too much time on the road.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

That night, Lin Sen was sleeping beautifully in the cabin, and he had a good dream, dreaming that after Xiao Ping'an saw him go home, he ran into his arms and called for his father.

As a result, the style of painting suddenly changed later, he was holding Xiao Ping'an in a circle and laughing, throwing the little guy up like a small plane, but a guy got out, Xiao Ping'an flew out directly, and a guy fell into the water!

Lin Sen woke up in fright at that time, and then listened in a daze to the continuous sound of falling water "poof~poof~", and his head, which was still a little dazed, suddenly sobered up, and he realized that the situation was wrong.

Cautiously got up and picked up his weapon, and at the same time knocked on the bulkheads on both sides, reminding the guards that Lin Sen was arming himself while staring at the movement of the hatch.

When he was quietly but quickly dressed, and even put on his armor, there was a knock at the door, the kind with a code.

"What's going on?" Lin Sen cautiously opened the hatch and asked, the transformation energy in his hand was ready to be released, ready to transform the entire cabin at any time, so as to be his last fortress.

"This ship has just dropped anchor, and the crew and the owner have all jumped into the water, because we didn't get the order of the head of the house, our people didn't attack these crews, and now there are only us people left on the whole ship.

In addition, there were two large ships approaching quickly, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them, probably trying to engage in broadside combat, but they were not equipped with ramming angles, and they did not see large weapons. ”

Outside, it was indeed Lin Sen's guard, who was whispering a quick report on the current situation.

After all, it is in the territory of Datang, and those crew members cannot be directly treated as the enemy to strike first.

"How's the beach on both sides?" Lin Sen asked calmly. If he is not calm, he is afraid that his subordinates will be more likely to panic.

The current situation is obviously very unfavorable to his side, and he was clearly ambushed, so his first thought was to abandon ship and escape.

If it's a broadside, they'll be very passive.

The number of enemies in the two ships is definitely considerable, at least ten times more than theirs, and the threat is not small.

The sand boat has a square head and square tail, commonly known as a "square stern", with a spacious deck, a small depth, and a low freeboard.

This is the advantage of being less resistant, faster and less prone to grounding, especially when navigating inland rivers with relatively shallow water and many sandy beaches.

But at present, this situation has become the biggest shortcoming, the deck is too spacious, and the ship's side is low, which makes Lin Sen and them become unsafe to defend in the broadside battle.

The side with a large number of people naturally has the advantage and can be used to their heart's content.

With less than thirty of them, it was impossible for them to hold the deck, and they would be overwhelmed by the influx of enemies in an instant.

"The river is turbulent here, and it's night, so we are not familiar with the water conditions, and the danger of diving is greater.

There are more trees on both sides, and it is impossible to confirm whether there is an ambush on both sides of the shore on the boat. The leader of the guards shook his head and said helplessly.

In the current situation, it is really difficult to say what the situation is on the shore, since the enemy has chosen such a place where there is no place in front of the village and no shops in the back, and there are not even individual boats to be seen, it is not strange that there are other ambushes around.

The point is that they don't run this line often after all, and jumping down in this water condition is indeed more likely to be more auspicious.

In case there is a sand nest or aquatic plants underneath, this jump is not good to smash the inside, and it will not even bubble up and say goodbye.

Nima, no matter how you look at the enemy, this is all your own side, the place you chose is too fucked, and it directly turns them into turtles in the urn.

"Is the hull alright? Is there any water? Although Lin Sen was already scolding his mother in his heart, he was still very calm on his face.

The guards who gathered over showed no signs of panic at all, and their morale was available.

"Those crew members have been watching us, and they don't have a chance to do anything, so there is no leakage.

In addition, there is no need to worry that the enemy will send water ghosts over, with this water current, there should be no water ghosts to rely on. The leader of the guards calmly answered Lin Sen's question.

They have all seen a lot of winds and waves with Lin Sen, and the current situation is not so bad that they will mess up, and there is also the backbone of the family head who can always create miracles.

The big deal is to die in battle, and you must always work hard to protect the integrity of the head of the family.

"But I'm afraid the enemy will set fire to the ship." The leader of the guards thought about it, but still said his biggest fear.

Knowing that this would be a big morale blow, it was better than being unprepared for the worst-case scenario.
