Chapter 50: The Night Battle

The boat is boring and boring, and it's really hard to pass the time.

Li Chuan lay on the bow of the boat and carefully read the instructions for the use of the mortar.

The cannon was not taken out, and it was not easy to take it out.

I can only wait until I return to Jiangyin, and then find another opportunity to take it out and find a place where no one is to test the gun.

In the evening, the wind grew stronger, the sailors pulled their sails, and the ship sailed fast.

Huang Tianxiang divided the sailors into three groups and took turns to take charge of the ship.

The boat was very quiet, and there was nothing to do, and Li Chuan fell asleep after a while.

The picture in the dream flashed quickly, and after a while, Su Xiaomei actually came, still holding a knife in her hand.

"Girl, what are you doing here?"

Li Chuan was shocked, is this to murder his lover?

Su Xiaomei said angrily: "You bastard who doesn't believe in your words, you said you wanted to marry me, why did you lie to me?" ”

Li Chuan was confused: "When did I say I was going to marry you?" ”

Su Xiaomei was even more angry: "Dare to say it, I really misjudged you." ”

Li Chuan was also even more depressed: "My eldest lady, I really didn't say this?" ”

"I'll fight with you."

Su Xiaomei's eyes were red, and as soon as she bit her silver teeth, she pounced on her with a knife, Li Chuan wanted to hide, but suddenly found that she seemed to have been hit by the immobilization technique, and she couldn't move at all, and she was suddenly frightened.

I wanted to speak, but I couldn't make a sound.

"It's over."

Li Chuan watched Su Xiaomei pounce on him with a glare, and inserted the knife into his heart, only to feel that his heart was like ashes, although he didn't feel pain, he still felt that the meaning was gradually blurring, and he didn't remember when he said to marry Su Xiaomei until he died.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

Anxious shouts rang in my ears, followed by violent shaking.

Li Chuan opened his eyes, his eyes were still a little confused, and after a while, he was shaken down by a family member before he came back to his senses, grandma's, feelings are dreaming, but the young master was scared to death.

"What's the matter?"

Li Chuan glared at the family, and his anger was still a little uncomfortable.

This dream really made him depressed.

Su Xiaomei actually stabbed him with a knife, although he was dreaming, it still affected his mood.

"Young master, we are being targeted by water thieves."

The family was startled, and hurriedly said, "Brother Huang asked the little one to protect the young master." ”

"Water thieves?"

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, and he was a little puzzled.

Isn't Huang Tianxiang very good, how can there be water thieves?

Jia Ding nodded hurriedly: "There are water thieves scuttling our boat, and Brother Huang has already gone down." ”

"Scuttling a ship?"

Li Chuan is a spirit, this is not a robbery, but his own life. If it was just a robbery, why did he need to scuttle the boat, he understood in an instant that most of this special thing was coming at him, but what he was most worried about was Huang Tianxiang's safety.

"Is Lao Huang back?"

The sailor's heart warmed, and he said: "Brother Huang hasn't come up yet, but don't worry, young master, Brother Huang's combat power under the water is stronger than his combat power on the ground, as long as he gets into the water, ten or eight people are not his opponents." ”

How can Li Chuan rest assured, he wants to go out to have a look, but he is afraid of causing chaos to the family.

The lights outside are blind, and the thieves don't know what their origins are, so it's useless to be anxious.

The sailor standing next to him held a hand lamp, and the light moved with Li Chuan.

This is the standard equipment of the family, the kind of hand lamp with batteries.

"Turn the lights off."

Li Chuan suddenly stopped and commanded.

The sailor was stunned and hurriedly turned off the lights.

The cabin immediately fell into darkness, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when you stretched out your hand.

Li Chuan opened a side window and poked his head out to look out.

The sailor stood nervously to the side, afraid that a cold arrow would fly in the darkness and hurt the young master.

The big ship was still moving, and no other sound could be heard except the sound of the water splashing against the hull, and from this position, one side could only be seen, and the front and rear sides of the ship and the other side could not be seen, and the enemy was not known.

Suddenly, the ship shook violently, as if it had been hit by something.

Then, the stern of the ship resounded one after another shouts of killing.

"Kill it."

There were thieves shouting loudly, and it was a mess for a while, and I don't know how many thieves came.

"Kill me!"

Zhao Tiezhu's roar sounded, and the big ship shook again.

Li Chuan couldn't sit still, gritted his teeth violently, and immediately rushed out.

"Young master, you can't go out!"

The sailor was startled and hurriedly ran over, but did not dare to stop Li Chuan.

Li Chuan didn't care about him, he rushed out of the cabin quickly, and saw the fire outside, the stern of the ship was fighting, and I don't know how many thieves came in the dark, Zhao Tiezhu was holding a long knife, majestic, and the thieves he killed couldn't board the ship for a while.

However, thieves are all small boats, and Zhao Tiezhu has only one after all, and it is impossible to block all directions.

The three small boats quickly circled to the other side, and more than a dozen thieves armed with torches were ready to jump onto the big boat.

"Chen Tieniu, you take someone to block it."

Zhao Tiezhu roared, and one of Huang Tianxiang's sailors immediately agreed, and rushed over with half of the family.

Several agile thieves jumped up first, and immediately killed the family members.

The sound of killing was boiling all around, and there were constantly torches lit up, coming from the front and back, and I don't know how many thieves came, just looking at the number of torches, at least no less than two hundred, and the number of people occupied an absolute advantage.

This group of thieves is not a straw bag at first glance, and Huang Tianxiang, a water thief with more than 100 people on the canal, knows all of them, and has no grudges, how could he attack them in the middle of the night, thinking with his toes, he also knows that these thieves are coming at him.

"Is it the Chengguo Mansion?"

Li Chuan's mind flashed, and he was not sure, and the situation did not allow him to think too much, no matter how much Zhao Tiezhu could fight, he would not be able to stop so many thieves, and most of the family members were still crop men, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.

Before the thieves were killed on the ship, some people were already scared and weak.

Once the thieves came on board, only Huang Tianxiang's sailors and seven family members had combat effectiveness.

"Young master, it's too dangerous here, let's go back to the ship's pan cabin!"

The sailor who was sent to protect Li Chuan sweated on his forehead, and he persuaded him vigorously.

Li Chuan ignored him, took out a pistol, and raised his gun to shoot.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire pierced the night sky, making it particularly piercing in the darkness.

Everyone was slow, some were surprised, some were surprised, and some were a little confused.

Where did the gunshots come from?

The thieves were in a daze, but they only came back to their senses in an instant and continued to kill.

Zhao Tiezhu frowned anxiously, he didn't have to think about it, he knew where this gunshot came from, because the gunfire was too familiar, except for the young master's fire gun that he got out of nowhere, there was no other fire gun that could make this kind of sound at all.

The young master ran out, how did the damn Huang Sangou protect the young master.

"Protect the young master!"

Zhao Tiezhu roared, but he really couldn't pull out.

On the side of the big boat, with the sound of gunfire, a thief who had just jumped up and was about to jump on the big boat was stunned, and the next moment, he fell directly into the canal, and after making a splash, there was no movement.
