Chapter Seventy-Six: The Sword Goes to Salmon Island (Part I)

Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruan Xiaowu's "Flying Bird" blocked the entrance of the water village, and the soldiers led by Ruan Xiaoqi and Chao Chong killed from behind, and Xu Liang and those swordfish sailors fell into a desperate situation.

But at this moment, another fleet of boats came out along the island, and the flag at the head fluttered with the big "Li" character.

Li Lake, Dahao Village, has been going to sea to do business for many years, but he prefers to do business without capital, and has accumulated more than 20 boats and more than 300 sailors.

His goal has always been to annex the Liu brothers of the Black Mountain Water Village and unify the Great Black Mountain Island! Seeing the good things of the snipe and the clam fighting, how could he not be willing to be the fisherman?

Li Hu, who was cautious by nature, did not want to offend the government, so when Xu Liang strongly rejected him, Li Hu did not dare to react, but after the official army set off, he quietly organized a fleet, carried some wine and meat, and embellished it in the rear of the official army.

If the officers and troops led by Xu Liang win, he can pretend that he is here to reward the officers and soldiers. If Xu Liang loses, he can help, sell Xu Liang a good one, and then take the opportunity to capture the Black Mountain Water Village.

Win or lose, Li Hu has no loss.

The sudden change in the battle situation was actually very unexpected by Li Hu, he didn't expect that the official army would really be defeated, and the back road was blocked, and the whole army was about to be wiped out.

At this time, Li Hu suddenly became excited, isn't this a God-given opportunity? As long as Xu Liang is rescued, he can not only sell the official mansion, but also attack the water village! So he hurriedly ordered the fleet to drive out and rushed towards Ruan Xiaowu.

Ruan Xiaowu stood on the "Flying Bird", overlooking Xu Liang, triumphant. Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "Chief, look at the sea!" ”

A fleet of ships rode the waves, with a great ship of two thousand stone at the head, followed by five galleons, full of sailors.

The subordinate suggested: "Leader, this boat is under the banner of Li Hu, I'm afraid it's a guy from Dahao Water Village." They came straight at us, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist! ”

Ruan Xiaowu snorted coldly: "What if it's hard to resist? Do you want to open the waterway and let the officers and soldiers in the village escape? Outrageous. Take your weapons, and the new knives that have just been issued, and before you see blood, are you cowardly? You're still not men! ”

The subordinate hurriedly said: "But chief, the big ship of Li Hu is obviously coming straight at us!" If you don't row away, the ship will be ruined! ”

Ruan Xiaowu has been begging for half his life on the water, how can he not know that his boat is at the gate of the water village, and if the opponent's big ship quickly collides with the belly, this "Flying Bird" will suffer huge damage, and if the belly of the ship is damaged and seriously enters the water, there is a danger of sinking.

But if the boat is opened, the officers and soldiers will take the opportunity to slip away from the water village, which is inconsistent with the general's military order at that time!

The military order is like a mountain, and the general ordered to hold the Shuizhai Gate, and it must be guarded!

Ruan Xiaowu gritted his teeth and ordered: "Stick here!" Death to those who dare to retreat! ”

Xu Liang is now a rabbit who is being forced to be in a hurry, behind him is Ruan Xiaoqi, who is like a wolf and a tiger, rowing a boat to chase him, and in front of him is Ruan Xiaowu, who is locked by a big boat. Xu Liang pulled out his waist knife and encouraged morale and said: "The way to life is ahead, everyone is desperate, kill the thief, and the official will be promoted to the third level!" ”

Xu Liang was rare and brave, and took the lead in climbing the big boat, but because he had been an official for a long time and had been in and out of the Qinglou for a long time, he had already hollowed out his body, and just grabbed the edge of the big boat, his hand slipped and fell into the water.

When his own soldiers saw it, they hurriedly jumped into the water to save people.

Those swordfish sailors also knew that the pursuit behind them was urgent, and only by breaking through the big boat in front could they survive, and nearly 200 swordfish sailors who fled in a hurry gathered at the gate of the water village, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and climbed up to the big boat.

Ruan Xiaowu commanded the forty soldiers on the ship to be condescending, occupying a certain advantage, but the position was high, and the target was also large, some officers and soldiers archers began to shoot arrows, in order to survive, their archery skills seemed to be accurate by three points.

Just as the fierce battle was raging at the gate of the water village, the big ship "Viper" that Li Hu was riding also began to accelerate, and the bow of the ship was aimed at the side of the "Flying Bird" and hit it hard!

With a "boom", the entire hull of the "Asuka" shook, and the people who were fighting on it staggered and fell to the ground, some of them were unstable on their feet, fell into the water, and were killed as soon as they showed their heads. The sawdust that had been cracked flew away, stabbing a group of people.

Ruan Xiaowu pushed away the sawdust on his body, stabilized his body with pig iron slurry, and looked back to see that a big ship dragon horn crashed into the hull of the "Asuka", and the sailors on the big ship also jumped into the "Asuka" from the big ship, trying to seize the ship. A few soldiers who had not yet stood up were cut off in the heads by the sailors.

"Bastard!" Ruan Xiaowu saw that the soldiers on the "Flying Bird" were killed, rushed up, and with a wave of the pig iron oar, several sailors were swept into the sea.

When the swordfish sailors in the water village saw that there were reinforcements outside, their morale was shocked, and they shouted and continued to climb the "Flying Bird", as long as they captured the ship, they would have a way to live!

Ruan Xiaowu smashed the head of an enemy soldier, and when he saw that the "Flying Bird" was attacked on both sides, the situation had completely collapsed, and he shouted: "Move closer to me!" ”

In the end, there were less than 20 soldiers gathered around Ruan Xiaowu, and they gathered in the center of the ship, formed a circle, and swore to resist to the death.

Ruan Xiaoqi led thirty people to chase and kill the swordfish sailors, and also approached the gate of the water village, seeing the plight of Ruan Xiaowu on the "Flying Bird", he hurriedly killed several people in a row, but nearly two hundred swordfish sailors were crowded at the entrance of the water village, unless the people in front of him were killed, they could not get close to the "Flying Bird" big ship at all, and they could not rescue Ruan Xiaowu.

Obviously the situation is very good, as long as the rear road of the officers and troops is cut off and there is no hope of breaking through the encirclement, there is a great possibility that they will be persuaded to surrender.

But now because of Li Hu's sudden addition, it gave hope to the swordfish sailors in the water village, and no one wanted to surrender to the thieves, but it made Ruan Xiaowu fall into the predicament of attacking before and after!

Ruan Xiaowu relied on his personal courage to kill more than ten people in a row, but he couldn't stop more and more enemies from boarding the ship, and only a dozen soldiers around him died.

What to do? Is this how it was defeated? I, Ruan Xiaowu, have always wanted to appear as a hero, and as soon as I appeared, I won the game and became the hero who decided the victory, but I ended up with a failure, and was laughed at?

Bastard! After finally taking such a good big ship, do you have to be recaptured by the official army!

No! My short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu can die, but he can't be defeated!

Ruan Xiaowu roared angrily, the pig iron oar swung around, and those swordfish sailors and sailors hurriedly retreated, such a murderer, whoever goes up will die!

Li Hu watched with a smile on the big ship "Pit Viper" as the "Flying Bird" was besieged from front to back, and was proud in his heart, more than 150 swordfish sailors, wanting to escape for their lives, the scene was very chaotic, and behind them there were thieves from the Black Mountain Water Village chasing them out, and they all pushed and pushed at the entrance of the Water Village and the big boat blocking the door.

Li Hu said to the sailor behind him: "Smash the oil tank into the other party's boat!" ”

The sailor behind him hesitated, "But our men are still on board!" ”

Li Hu took a sip and said, "I can't attack it for so long, it's a group of waste!" Smash me! ”

The sailors had no choice but to smash a dozen cans of oil at the "Asuka", the oil cans were shattered, the oil flowed all over the deck, and the people stepped on it and slipped.

Ruan Xiaowu wrinkled his nose and smelled that this was fire oil, and then saw that someone on the Li Hu boat had already taken out a torch, swept the pig iron oars, swept a passage in the enemy group, and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Come with me to the ship's building!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several torches were dropped, and the fire oil on the deck was ignited, and soon a fire broke out, and everyone on the ship panicked.

Ruan Xiaowu desperately rushed forward, rescued nine soldiers, and arrived at the higher building in the middle of the ship, but looking at the fire, the shipbuilding could not stay long.

"Fifth brother!" Ruan Xiaoqi saw that the "Flying Bird" was ignited, and Ruan Xiaowu led people to stay in the center of the ship, no longer caring about fighting, and plunged into the water.

Since you can't get over it, dive to it!

Li Hu hurriedly ordered the people on the boat to row backwards so as not to be affected by the "Flying Bird". He looked at the "Asuka" that was burning more and more, and he was proud.

His henchman Liu Jiaotou was puzzled: "Village master, aren't you here to rescue the officers and soldiers?" As soon as the big ship caught fire, weren't the sailors who didn't run out trapped in the Black Mountain Water Village? ”

Li Hu chuckled and said, "How many officers and soldiers are killed or wounded, what does it have to do with me?" All I need is him! ”

After speaking, he pointed to Xu Liangdao, who was carried by two pro-soldiers and swam in the water.

Li Hu said with a smile: "The more officers and soldiers are injured, the more they can't share the things in the Black Mountain Water Village with me, the better it is for me." As long as I rescue a patrol battalion commander, I have enough credit on the official side! ”

The head of the Liu sect complimented: "The owner of the village is high! ”

Xu Liang, the commander of the patrol battalion, swam on the surface of the water under the escort of two personal soldiers, and approached the "Viper" of Li Lake. Li Hu hurriedly ordered someone to rescue Xu Liang onto the boat.

Xu Liang got on the big boat, and secretly praised himself for being smart enough, pretending to fall into the water, and then diving and swimming over! If you really lead the charge and climb the boat, I'm afraid that among the corpses floating at the gate of the village, one of them will be yourself!

The "Flying Bird" at the gate of the water village was ignited, completely blocking the escape route of those swordfish sailors, and after Chao Chong led the soldiers to kill, they surrendered decisively.

Chao Chong gritted his teeth and looked at the burning ship at the gate of the village, Ruan Xiaowu and they couldn't see the figure at all, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead! When I asked again, even Ruan Xiaoqi was gone.

The fire stopped the officers and soldiers who wanted to escape, and at the same time blocked the waterway where Chao Chong rushed out.

Looking at the hundred officers and soldiers crowded at the gate of the village, Chao Chong really wanted to kill them all! But in the end, they can only suppress their anger, evacuate them as soon as possible, escort them to the shore, and open up the passage to the outside world is the top priority!

At this time, Ruan Xiaowu and the nine soldiers were trapped on the building in the middle of the ship, surrounded by fire and smoke, Ruan Xiaowu looked around anxiously, gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers around him: "My command is not good, and I have affected all the brothers." This shipbuilding won't last long, I'll throw you out one by one, whether you can survive or not depends on the will of God! ”

After speaking, Ruan Xiaowu flattened his pig iron oar and said to a soldier: "Bend down and climb on it!" ”

As soon as the soldier bent down, Ruan Xiaowuyi threw the soldier out with all his strength, and the soldier turned a few times in the air, flew over the flames on the ship, flew four or five feet away, and fell into the sea with a pop.

As for whether he can survive, Ruan Xiaowu can't care about it. It is better to fall to death or be shot to death by someone on an enemy ship than to burn to death!

Ruan Xiaowu didn't dare to waste time, so he flattened the pig iron paddle again and said, "Next!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu tried his best and threw out seven more.

There was only the last one left, Ruan Xiaowu's arms were numb, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come again!" ”

The soldier said, "Chief, what should you do?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu scolded: "Nonsense, don't care so much!" Hurry up! ”

The soldier wept and said, "Leader......"

Ruan Xiaowu swung with all his strength and threw it out, but he was unable to pick up the pig iron paddle again, and sat on the ground, feeling the increasingly hot flames under him, could it be that his fate was to be burned to death on this broken ship?

No! I, Ruan Xiaowu, call myself a hero, and I shouldn't die like this!

Ruan Xiaowu mustered up the desire, struggled to stand up, looked around, the flames and smoke blocked his vision, and then looked up, he couldn't help but light up his eyes.

In fact, the building of the sea ship is not a building for people, but a high platform around the mainmast cover in the middle of the ship, the position of the mainsail, and in order to strengthen the main mast.

Climb up and you might be targeted by enemy archers! Moreover, the sails have been burned, and there is a lot of danger on the mainmast.

If you don't climb up, you can only wait for death.

Ruan Xiaowu had to abandon his heavy cast-iron oars and climb up the mainmast with his bare hands.

The pit viper, the big ship of Lake Lee, had turned its bow and began to gradually move away from the burning "Asuka". But the sailors on the ship still found Ruan Xiaowu who was climbing up the mast, and as soon as he said hello, an archer stepped forward to pull his bow and shoot there.

The burning ship had a rising hot air current, and as soon as the arrows entered, they lost their accuracy, and the archers on the "Viper" shot dozens of arrows, but none of them could hit.

When Ruan Xiaowu reached the top of the mast, the wooden hard sails were also burning, and his body was burning with pain, and some ropes were also ignited, and the mast couldn't last long.

Ruan Xiaowu reached a high place, and finally saw the surrounding situation clearly, Chao Chong in the water village had already begun to surrender, and evacuated those swordfish sailors to the shore, but they could be blocked by the burning big boat, and they couldn't get out.

The few soldiers who were thrown out by themselves were still alive and swam in the water towards the water village.

The big ship "Viper" that crashed into him was only three feet away from him, but unfortunately he couldn't jump over!

What to do? Ruan Xiaowu had never used his brain like today, he felt that his head was about to explode, but he still couldn't think of a good way, looking at the burning sails, and then looking at the ropes, he suddenly thought of a very bold method.

Da Song's sail was very hard, but also very heavy, Ruan Xiaowu took the risk of sliding from the top of the mainsail to the half-waist, grabbed a rope tied to the sail, adjusted the angle, and swayed back and forth, like swinging, when the time came, Ruan Xiaowu released the rope and flew to the sail of the "Viper" in mid-air.

"Oh my God, that's coming!" The sailors on the Lee Lake boat exclaimed.

Seeing this, Li Hu kicked the man in front of him with one kick and scolded: "Bastard, just like a fool, shoot him to death!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu played a thrilling trapeze and was very lucky to land on the sail of the "Viper", instead of smashing directly on the deck and falling into a pulp.

Facing the dozen archers on the deck who raised their fingers towards him, Ruan Xiaowu didn't dare to be careless, hugged the mast, spun and slid down.

The arrows fired by the archers were all missed. As soon as Ruan Xiaowu landed on his feet, he jumped up in the air on the ship's floor, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and a large peng spread his wings and pounced on a sailor, and the dagger pierced his neck.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Li Hu shouted in panic.

Ruan Xiaowu was not afraid of the siege of everyone, even if he didn't have the pig iron oars he had in hand, it was not something that these ordinary sailors could stop, and he would assassinate three people in a short time.

Seeing this, Xu Liang retreated again and again, and said to Li Hu: "Brother Li, let the master go up and kill him!" ”

Li Hu hurriedly said to the henchmen around him: "Liu Jiaotou, you take action personally!" ”

The henchman Liu Jiaotou nodded to the two people, and also killed Ruan Xiaowu, shouting: "The thief is rampant, I, Liu Yuan, will meet you!" ”

After the head of the sect shouted, he didn't step forward and let the two subordinates swing their knives and slash them, Ruan Xiaowu was surrounded by everyone, unable to dodge, stepped forward, grabbed the arms of the two people wielding knives, got up early under his feet, and kicked one of them in the stomach, kicking the two of them away.

Just when Ruan Xiaowu's feet did not fall, a steel knife stabbed out from between the two, and Liu Jiaotou saw that Ruan Xiaowu's old strength was exhausted, and the new strength was not born for a moment, he suddenly took out the knife and stabbed straight in the abdomen.

Ruan Xiaowu let out a cold sweat, hurriedly shrank his abdomen, bowed his waist back, let go of the dagger in his hand, put his hands together, and lowered his head to clamp the deadly steel knife.

Although this sneak attack was blocked, the flaw in his back was suddenly exposed, and the other sailors took the opportunity to slash it, turning the flesh outward and bleeding.

Ruan Xiaowu kicked the sailor who slashed his back into the air. With both hands, he grabbed the white blade with his empty hands, snatched Liu Jiaotou's steel knife, and hit Liu Jiaotou's chest with a headbutt, knocking him back three steps.

When Liu Jiaotou stepped back, he raised his right hand and a sleeve arrow, "Bang!" A shot shot out, hitting Ruan Xiaowu's chest and being stuck by his thick muscles.

Ruan Xiaowu was furious, roared, like a lion roaring, everyone around was shocked, taking advantage of this, Ruan Xiaowu pulled out the sleeve arrow on his chest, took a sharp step, caught up with the head of Liu Jiao, and slapped the sleeve arrow into his forehead.
