Ruan Xiaowu killed Liu Jiaotou, picked up a waist knife from the ground, and became more and more brave the more he killed, but the fatigue all over his body became more and more obvious, and Ruan Xiaowu didn't know how long he could hold on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Hu and Xu Liang were surrounded by his men to the stern of the boat, shouting for other ships to come to support.

With a "hula", Ruan Xiaoqi drilled out of the water from the bottom of the "Viper", the dragon king in his hand pierced the hull of the ship, and several times in a row, he turned over to the boat, and saw Ruan Xiaowu being besieged, and shouted: "Fifth brother, I'm here to help you!" "Fight into the crowd too.

There is a saying: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way. Originally, one Ruan Xiaowu was fierce enough, and another one killed like water. Ruan Xiaoqi was full of physical strength, and when he came closer, he protected Ruan Xiaowu and said, "Fifth brother, how are you?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu gasped and said, "I'm a little tired, but it's okay to kill these minions!" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi knew that Ruan Xiaowu was being reckless, so he tried his best to protect him, just hoping to hold on a little longer, just wait for Chao Chong to rush out of them. said: "Fifth brother, our brothers are united, who are afraid of coming!" They come ten to kill ten, come a hundred to kill a hundred! ”

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said, "Okay, let our brothers work together and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Although Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were surrounded by the enemy, they took the initiative in terms of momentum, and the sailors they killed did not dare to step forward.

Soon, several other boats also approached, and Li Hu hurriedly asked the sailors on those ships to board the "Pit Viper" and besiege the Nguyen brothers together.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw that there were more and more enemies, and if he continued to kill them like this, he couldn't finish killing the two of them to death, so he whispered to Ruan Xiaowu: "Fifth brother, this can't be good, it's better to rush to the side of the boat and jump into the water and swim back!" ”

After Ruan Xiaowu killed one of the people who attacked him, he snorted coldly: "No! If I wanted to escape, I would have jumped into the water and escaped, and with my water nature, I could swim back in one breath by diving into the water! But I can't just miss it! I lost my ship, and my men were killed and wounded, what shame do I have to meet the general! ”

"But we brothers alone can't take this ship!" Ruan Xiaoqi said worriedly.

"If you can't take it, you will destroy him!" Ruan Xiaowu saw that there were more and more enemy soldiers, and made up his mind.

"Guard me!" Ruan Xiaowu commanded Xiao Qi, raised his waist knife, and slashed at the deck on the ground, the wood chips flew one after another, and a hole was cut out in a while! Ruan Xiaowu jumped up, stomped violently, and the whole person fell into the cabin below deck.

Ruan Xiaoqi guarded this big hole tightly and did not let people approach.

Ruan Xiaowu fell into the cabin, killed several shipwrights inside, found the bulkhead compartment of the stock, and sure enough, found a lot of fire oil inside.

The "Viper" threw a fire oil tank on his "Flying Bird", Ruan Xiaowu guessed that there might still be stock on the ship, and he originally wanted to rely on luck to find it, but he didn't expect to find it for him.

Ruan Xiaowu was overjoyed, sprinkled these fire oils on the other cargo in the cabin, blew the fire fold, walked a few steps away, threw it over, and suddenly ignited a fire.

Ruan Xiaowu turned around and ran, met a few sailors who came down from the entrance of the deck, were delayed for a while, and finally all of them were hacked to death by him.

Ruan Xiaoqi saw billowing black smoke coming out of the entrance of the cave he was guarding, but he didn't see Ruan Xiaowu come up yet, so he shouted anxiously: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, come up!" ”

Li Hu also saw the black smoke coming out of the deck, and he was distressed to death, this was the best big boat in his hand, and there were still many good things in the boat that he hadn't had time to carry out. shouted, "You lazy people, go down and put out the fire!" ”

Some of the sailors picked up the buckets next to the ship and threw them into the sea to draw water, and some resisted the sandbags on the bow of the ship, but these things were effective in extinguishing the fire on the deck, and the fire in the cabin was extinguished, how do you extinguish it?

When a big ship catches fire, it is not so easy to spread, but once it spreads, it is difficult to extinguish it.

Ruan Xiaowu endured the smoke and stood guard at the place where the deck led to the cabin, as long as someone came down to put out the fire, it would be a knife in the head.

Seeing that the fire was indeed ignited, he got out and said to Ruan Xiaoqi: "Hurry up, this ship is finished!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi joined forces to kill the side of the boat, jumped into the sea, dived to the bottom of the water, swam dozens of meters away before showing their heads, and saw the smoke in the cabin coming out through the deck, and the entire "Pit Viper" was like a cauldron with a pot lid, and the smoke was steaming and yearning. The two looked at each other and laughed, and swam towards the Black Mountain Water Village.

Li Hu saw that the big ship really couldn't be saved, so he had to abandon the ship and transfer to another ship with the sailors, watching his car "Viper" burn more and more.

"These bastards! I can't spare them! Li Hu gritted his teeth and swore with a curse.

The safe return of Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi made Chao Chong overjoyed, and he hurriedly checked the injuries of the two and used the golden finger to restore their bodies.

Ruan Xiaowu kept his head down and said ashamedly: "General, I have failed your trust!" The ship was lost, his men died, and the official of the government ran away! ”

Chao Chong patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The boat was not ours in the first place, and it is not a pity to lose it." It's also glorious for your men to die in battle, not to mention that you saved nine people. As for the command of the patrol battalion in that district, what a way! On the contrary, it was that Li Hu, who almost caused me to lose a general, and this revenge will be avenged! ”

Chao Chong comforted Ruan Xiaowu and asked Xiaoqi to take him down to rest. Looking at the big ships still burning on the sea outside the water village and the four sea boats cruising back and forth, Chao Chong frowned.

The sea is controlled, which is equivalent to cutting off their route from Montenegro Island, if the official army is transferred to come again, can it be defended?

Li Hu also saw the power of the thieves in the Black Mountain Water Village, and listened to Xu Liang's narration, and he no longer dared to easily attack the Water Village. Just cruising on the periphery, blocking the sea.

Xu Liang thought that the thieves were fierce and had to be suppressed by a large army, and urged Li Hu to send someone to row a fast boat back to Dengzhou to ask for help from the prefect.

Li Hu refused to send ships back to Dengzhou to ask for help on the pretext that he had suffered serious losses, had insufficient ships, and was afraid that the thieves would break through from the sea.

In fact, Li Hu is making his own little calculations. Two days ago, his subordinates rescued several people from the mountains, and according to some torture, they learned that there were a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, and ordnance and equipment in the water village of Liu Wu and Liu Qi. This wealth is Li Hu's goal. If the warships of the official army brigade came over, how could those captures have his share?

Li Hu arranged for someone to take care of Lord Xu Liang and Xu, and entertained him with good wine and meat, which was actually equivalent to isolation. He said to one of his confidants: "If this Black Mountain Water Village is really as Xu Liang said, then we are afraid that it will be difficult to conquer." But we can exchange! After nightfall, I need you to row a boat to the water village, find out what they are doing, and make a condition to them, as long as you give me ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand steel knives, I can let go of the waterway, and let them go away in peace. ”

The henchman said worriedly: "So many steel knives a thousand? Will they accept it? ”

Li Hu didn't care and said: "Their ordnance has two thousand steel knives and two thousand spears, I only need that little, why doesn't he agree?" Don't worry, the two countries are still at war, you are only responsible for passing the word, and there will be no danger. ”

The confidant said: "The country still talks about some rules, but this reckless river and lake doesn't talk about rules!" ”

After nightfall, all casualties and exploits were cleared. More than one hundred and fifty of those captured swordfish sailors were healthy and more than a hundred were wounded. Sixty people who were willing to submit were singled out and scattered the subordinates who were arranged into Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Huang Xin.

Each of the three of them was in a team, and all the troops in the village were restored to one hundred and fifty men.

Nguyen Xiaowu's troops suffered the heaviest losses, with nine surviving soldiers as commanders, and controlled fifty soldiers.

Chao Chong asked Ruan Xiaoqi to lead his men and horses to patrol the waterproof village to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp. Let Huang Xin be in charge of shore patrol.

Soon Zhu Gui, Pei Xuan, and Qian Yi came back from the mountains, carrying two soldiers who were bitten by snakes, and when they saw Chao Chong, they shook their heads gloomily and said, "Still nothing!" ”

Chao Chong's heart was heavy, and he said, "Everyone has worked hard!" And he arranged for them to rest.

What to do?

The current situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable, and if you are not careful, you may end up with the annihilation of the entire army. Chao Chong's decision-making is related to the lives of more than 100 people in the village, and he can't help but be cautious!

In the midst of distress, I heard a report from the soldiers that someone on the sea was rowing a small boat to discuss important matters with the leader, and was now being detained by Ruan Xiaoqi in the water village.

Chao Chong waved his hand and said, "Bring it up!" ”

After a while, Ruan Xiaoqi carried a dark and thin middle-aged man to the stone house of the wooden village like a chicken.

Chao Chong sat in the center, and Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Bao lined up on both sides.

Chao Chong looked at the middle-aged man for a moment and said, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Lixiao, now the master of Li Huzhai is in charge of money and food, I heard that Chao Gongzi is in trouble, and I have come to rescue him!" ”

Chao Chong squinted his eyes, carefully analyzed the information in his words, and said, "You know me?" ”

Li Shou said: "The son of Chao Tianwang, a young swordsman, has heard a lot about the rivers and lakes. ”

Chao Chong shook his head and said: "No, you should have learned my information from Xu Liang's mouth, so it is not a rumor." Tell me, what are you doing here? ”

Li Shou flicked his sleeves and said, "I came to save my son's life!" ”

This method of taking the lead is often used by Chao Chong, so naturally he will not follow Li Shou's train of thought, so he winks at Li Kui beside him.

Li Kui snorted, pulled out the two big axes, shook them in front of Li Shou's eyes, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I still need you to save Boss Chao? ”

Li Shou shrank his neck, and said in his heart, these guys really don't pay attention to the rules, when they encounter this kind of thing, shouldn't they ask, "Why did Mr. teach me?" ”

Chao Chong said in a loud voice: "Tie Niu retreat, don't hurt the guests." Li Hu originally had no grievances or enmity with me, and our well water did not interfere with the river water, but today he attacked our soldiers first, and burned our warships later. And now you're coming to save me on his behalf? How to save? How can I trust? ”

Li Kui retreated as he said, but stared at him with big eyes, which was very scary.

Seeing Li Kui retreating, Li Shou coughed dryly twice, and said: "These are all misunderstandings, the son should understand, although we are doing illegal things, we don't dare to offend the government too much." That Xu Liang let us as a response, we also had to from. It's really helpless! ”

Li Slender sighed and made a helpless annoyance, but found that Chao Chong was still looking at him coldly, so he put away his coy posture and said, "My owner of the village actually doesn't want to be an enemy of his son. Childe is a hero in the world, and the owner of my family is also very admired, so he specially ordered me to come and make a mutually beneficial suggestion to Childe. ”

Chao Chong sneered: "What is the suggestion?" ”

Li Shou exaggerated and said: "The owner of my village was forced by Xu Liang to block the sea of Gongzi, and sent someone back to Dengzhou to report, and he will send a large army to exterminate Gongzi in the near future." Isn't Childe in danger? ”

Chao Chong said: "So what? ”

Li Shou continued: "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under the wall, although the prince and his brothers are brave, but in the face of the powerful Dengzhou sailor, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain, right?" The owner of my village saw that Gongzi was a talent, a hero in the world, and he couldn't bear to let Gongzi fall into such a fate, so he wanted to let Gongzi have a way to live, get out of the way, and let Gongzi enter and exit freely! ”

Chao Chong said: "What are the conditions?" ”

Li Shou smiled: "10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 steel knives!" ”

"Bastard! Just Li Hu, dare to open his mouth so wide! Ruan Xiaoqi listened to the anger next to him, and pulled out half of his waist knife.

Li Shouxiao's face froze, but he didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly explained: "Master Chao, this is a matter of mutual benefit, you can leave with peace of mind, and the owner of my village also has some gains." Do you have to fight for a jade stone and be wiped out by the officials and soldiers? ”

Chao Chong raised his hand to stop the angry Ruan Xiaoqi, and said: "Your family's main abacus is good, and the silver is not enough, how can I give him a lot of steel knives!" ”

Li Shou smiled: "Why should Gongzi hide it, you have two thousand steel knives and two thousand spears here, and we only need one thousand, which is just a decimal ......"

Hearing this, Chao Chong got up, grabbed Li Shou's front placket and said, "How did you know?" ”

Li Shou didn't expect this young man who had always been calm to suddenly become angry, and suddenly felt a pressure rushing to his face, and said in a panic: "......What did the owner of my village say?"

"How did the owner of your village know?" Chao Chong asked.

"This, this, maybe it's ...... Xu Liang said"

Chao Chong threw Li Shou out a foot away, and shouted: "Find Pei Xuan!" ”

Soon, Pei Xuan trotted over and arched his hand: "What does the big boss command?" ”

Chao Chong pointed to Li Shou, who had been thrown to the ground for a long time and didn't get up, and said: "Pry open this person's mouth, I suspect that Chao Wei and the others are in Li Hu's Dahao Village, they know too much, this is not normal!" ”

Pei Xuan was overjoyed that he could finally give full play to his professional expertise. Pei Xuan and Li Kui took the Li thin down together.

Ruan Xiaoqi was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this person?" ”

Chao Chong sighed and said, "Maybe I'm too careful." But they said the number of weapons in too much detail, even Liu Wu couldn't tell anyone about this number at will. If Liu Wu wants to tie up with the government, two thousand will also be said to be one thousand; A thousand is said to be five hundred. Isn't the rest all his? ”

Ruan Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Reasonable!" ”

Soon, Pei Xuan came out triumphantly and said: "That person recruited, two days ago, they did catch a few people from the mountain, and through some torture, they learned about the things in the Black Mountain Water Village. He hadn't seen the appearance of those specific people, and he only learned about it after listening to Li Hu's description. ”

Chao Chong was happy and worried, happy that he had finally found Chao Wei's clues, and worried that he didn't know how much torture they had suffered.

Chao Chong said to Pei Xuan: "Mr. is doing a good job. I need you to continue to interrogate, and let this Li Shou tell everything he knows in Dahao Water Village, it's everything! ”

Pei Xuan gave up his hand, and after less than half an hour, he walked over with a roll of paper and said, "Big leader, I made a detailed record!" ”

Chao Chong took the roll of paper, looked at it carefully, and said with great joy: "Okay, immediately convene the generals and discuss matters here!" Mr. attended! ”

Pei Xuan nodded happily, being able to attend such a meeting shows that he has gradually entered the decision-making level. He said again: "What about that Li Thin?" ”

Chao Chong said: "Isn't he dead yet?" ”

Pei Xuan said with a smile: "I haven't used torture yet, I was scared to pee after some intimidation, and I recruited everything." ”

Chao Chong also smiled: "Kill him!" Send the head back, and say that early tomorrow morning, Li Hu and I will fight to the death at sea! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head and said, "This is a bit difficult, our navy can't beat him at sea!" ”

Chao Chong laughed and said: "The soldier is not tired of cheating, I lied to him!" ”

Soon, the generals arrived, Chao Chong explained the current situation and made corresponding arrangements.

In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Qi led a team of 50 people to hold out in the water village.

Chao Chong led the team, Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, Yu Baosi, Huang Xin, Ruan Xiaowu and 100 of his subordinates, and set off for Dahao Water Village.

The Black Mountain Water Village of Mashizui Port is located in the northeast corner of the island, and the Dahao Water Village is located on the southwest side of the island. Then head west to Mount Onkyo, then west along the ditch and reach your destination near noon.

Li Hu transferred more than half of the forces in the Dahao Water Village, and now there are only a few armed personnel in the village left. The merchant ships on the docks were busy loading and unloading cargo, and some coolies came and went. It looks quite lively.

There are mountains full of poisonous snakes in the Dahao Water Village and the Black Mountain Water Village, and the mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, which is a natural barrier.

In fact, this natural barrier really worked, and even if they were well prepared along the way, more than a dozen of the 100 soldiers were wounded.

The two water villages have never been connected from land, so they tend to ignore the danger and may come from this. Li Hu ignored this, and he was angrily setting up the four boats outside the Black Mountain Water Village, waiting for Chao Chong to come out and fight him.

This bastard, if he didn't agree to his own conditions, he even killed his own henchmen!

It's a pity that no matter how provocative he is at sea, Ruan Xiaoqi just can't hold on.

At noon, Chao Chong led everyone down from the mountain, swarmed in, and killed the Dahao Water Village from behind, and the sailors in the village could not resist and ran around.

Chao Chong finally saw Chao Wei and Uncle Quan tied up in a house, they were covered in injuries and dying. Chao Chong rushed to the rescue and made them recover.

Chao Wei and Uncle Quan instantly stayed in tears when they saw Chao Chong, although they were only two months apart, it was like spending a few years for them. First of all, in the Liu brothers' black mountain water village, they were cautious and tried their best to restrain the sailors and armed bankers on the ship, for fear of leaking the news on the ship. For this reason, Chao Wei and Uncle Quan are on duty day and night.

At the same time, they have to be careful to deal with the greedy Liu brothers. But the news of the ordnance and materials and a large amount of gold and silver on the ship still leaked the news, and the Liu brothers' incessant temptations were blocked by Chao Wei and Uncle Quan, but the more so, the more curious the Liu brothers became.

But at that time, the Liu brothers did not dare to offend the Chao family, until a few days ago, news came from the shore that the Chao family and his son had robbed the birth gang of Taishi Cai, and the grass Liangshan Bo occupied the mountain as the king.

Only then did the Liu brothers gain courage and make a move against Chao Wei. After a battle, most of the people on the ship were killed and wounded, and Chao Wei and Uncle Quan fled into the mountains with only more than 20 people.

But in the summer, poisonous snakes are everywhere in Daheisheng, more than 20 people enter the mountain, and only Chao Wei, Uncle Quan and three Zhuangke finally escaped to Dahao Water Village.

They originally wanted to hire Li Hu to send them back to the shore with money, but who knew that Li Hu was even more insidious, thinking that there must be a reason for the Liu brothers to turn their faces, and tortured them repeatedly, but the three Zhuang Ke couldn't hold on and confided the truth. That's what Li Hu calculated.

These so-called maritime merchants are all robbers dressed in merchant skins! See profit and forget righteousness, unscrupulous people!

Chao Chong gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Li Hu, I will kill him!" ”

……………………..

"Ahh Li Hu rubbed his nose and looked at the people around him, who was talking bad about me just now! Could it be Xu Liang who was under house arrest?

Xu Liang has been in a drunken state since last night since he got on the ship, and he has fought such a big defeat that he is enough to be imprisoned for questioning. So drinking all the time to escape reality. From a literary point of view, it is decadent.

Li Hu is cautious by nature and does not want to take risks at will. The water army in the Black Mountain Water Village seems to be vulnerable, but who knows if they have hidden a backmove. Even if the water village is captured, the wooden village is also a difficult bone to gnaw, and Xu Liang's experience is there.

After noon, another hour passed and it was too late, Li Hu felt that Chao Chong should be playing tricks on him, and they had no intention of fighting at all. At this moment, several small boats rowed along the island from the south, and when they got closer, they boarded Li Hu's boat, and cried: "The master of the village, the big thing is not good, the thieves of the Black Mountain Water Village rushed out of the mountain an hour ago and captured our Dahao Water Village, and the brothers were all killed and scattered by them!" ”

"What?" Li Hu grabbed the man, lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a noise!" Say, how many of them are there? ”

The man exaggerated in panic: "There must be four or five hundred people, all over the mountains and fields, rushing out of the mountains and hula, the brothers can't resist at all!" ”

Li Hu casually slapped him and said in a low voice: "I said don't be loud!" There are only more than 200 people in the Black Mountain Water Village, where did the four or five hundred people come from? Bastard, I can't even count them! ”

The man also lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Yes, yes, because there are so many of them that I can't check them out for a while." ”

Li Hu thought to himself, even if there are no four or five hundred, if you discount it, there should still be two hundred. Could it be that the Black Mountain Shrine in front of him has been singing empty city plans?

The news of the occupation of his lair cannot be spread out in any case, and once everyone knows the news, who will have the heart to fight? You can't stay long on a ship, and if you don't have a place to stay on the sea, you can only be defeated or join other forces.

The Chao family thieves are very powerful on land, and even if they go back to Dahao Water Village now, they may not be able to take it back!

For today's plan, the only way to take the risk is to attack, as long as you capture the Black Mountain Shrine in front of you, you still have the possibility of turning over, otherwise everything is over!

After making up his mind, Li Hu began to order more than 200 people in his four boats to attack the Black Mountain Fortress.

As soon as Ruan Xiaoqi saw the other party attacking, he waved the flag on the boat, pretending to be a pretend, and when the enemy approached, he hurriedly retreated.

After getting the water village so easily, Li Hu still didn't dare to be careless, and continued to send a boat to test it, and he attacked the shore until he reached the shore, and he didn't see any enemy soldiers rushing out of the wooden village.

Li Hu sent troops to the shore and continued to test the wooden village, but except for the closed gate, there was not even a person inside.

Sure enough, it's an empty city plan!

Only then did Li Hu put his mind at ease and let the fleet go ashore, occupy the wooden village, and repair it temporarily. Immediately sent people to search the village, looking for gold, silver, and ordnance materials that he was so desperate for.

Xu Liang, who had been under house arrest for a day on the boat, also landed on the shore and entered the wooden village, and his mood suddenly improved. The wine also woke up for three points.

finally captured this wooden village, so that there is still hope for his career! You can spend more money to buy the copywriting, write your own achievements more tortuous, touching, and heroic, in short, finally defeated the vicious thieves and captured this big village! What is the name of the thief, it is said that the state government has not been exterminated several times of encirclement and suppression, but now it is defeated in the hands of my Dengzhou Xu Liang! Hey, hey, hey......
