Chapter 48: The Raid (Part II)
Yang Zhen was already in the water at this time, just under the side of the passenger ship on the other side. Beside him www.biquge.info there were two rather embarrassed figures, who were the two Taoist priests, one old and one young.
Just as the ship suddenly turned around and an archer appeared, Yang Zhen was already shocked that the situation was not good. Being attacked with a bow and crossbow on the water is the most passive, and the only option left is to abandon the ship and enter the water except to hide in the cabin.
Yang Zhen didn't think much about it, and a flying pounce had already jumped into the water from the side away from the opponent's boat. But as soon as he entered the water, he sensed danger, and a dark shadow quickly approached him from the bottom of the water.
It turned out that the other party had taken precautions, and even arranged manpower underwater to prevent someone from jumping out of ship to escape. But Yang Zhen is not the person who jumped into the water in a panic as they thought, his water nature is very good in both his past life and this life, and when he saw someone killing, he also plunged into the water and rushed up.
That person obviously didn't expect Yang Zhen to dare to attack, and after a little hesitation, Yang Zhen had already been killed. He only had time to stab a blow before he was stabbed into the heart by Yang Zhen, who flashed to the side, and at the same time, the water-splitting thorn in his hand for underwater combat was also snatched into Yang Zhen's hand.
At this moment, the surface of the water shook, and two black shadows killed from both sides like fish. Yang Zhen didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and when he saw the momentum of one of them, he handed it out. But this time the other party also learned a lesson, and when he swam over, he didn't dare to use up his movements, and when he saw a knife coming, he quickly flashed to the side and avoided it dangerously. But he didn't see that Yang Zhen still had a water thorn in his other hand, and in a flash, the water thorn had pierced his heart. He wanted to scream in pain, but the river poured into his mouth, and he struggled twice before he died.
At this time, the third water bandit could be killed. Yang Zhen didn't mean to fight with him again this time, turned around and swam towards the water, looking like he didn't have enough gas, and he needed to get out of the water to change his breath. Seeing that he had killed two of his companions, how could he let people out of the water like this, and immediately held back his strength and chased after him.
This water bandit was quite fast underwater, and he had rushed behind Yang Zhen before he could get out of the water. But just when he was about to make a move, Yang Zhen suddenly turned around, and stabbed out at the same time with a knife in his hand, and the water bandit was unable to change direction because he swam too fast, and he was assassinated on the spot before he could lift the water thorn in his hand.
Of course, this is a strategy of Yang Zhen, he is indeed about to run out, but he still has the ability to lay out this game. If the other party fights with him, I'm afraid his situation will not be so good. Now that the three people were eliminated, Yang Zhen was finally able to surface and take a big breath of fresh air.
As soon as he resumed breathing, Yang Zhen noticed another movement behind him. He was stunned, and when he turned his head to look at the water, he saw three entangled black shadows floating and sinking in the water. A closer look at the clothing of these men revealed that two of them were the Taoist priests on the ship. Apparently after realizing that the situation was not good, they also jumped into the water, not wanting to be waited for by the water ghosts waiting below, so they struggled.
At this time, Yang Zhen didn't have time to think about how the two Taoist priests could be entangled with this water bandit for so long, so he immediately quickly swam forward and stabbed the ground into the back of the water ghost's heart. As soon as the water ghost's body stiffened, he stopped moving, and slowly sank into the water. Only then did the two Taoist priests swim hard and came to the surface of the water to breathe greatly. If Yang Zhen hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that they would have been able to entangle with the water ghost and prevent him from stabbing the water thorn, and they would have to be suffocated underwater.
Yang Zhen pulled the two of them to the shadow under the side of the boat, motioned for them to climb the cable to stabilize their bodies, and then another one plunged into the water. The little Taoist priest was shocked, and when he saw him leaving again, he couldn't help but shout: "Hey, what are you going to do...... only then did he realize that he was a little out of shape, and his face turned a little red.
The old Taoist priest looked at Yang Zhen's whereabouts thoughtfully, and then showed a look of unbearability, and proclaimed: "Supreme Taiyi Tianzun!" ”
The archers on the other side of the ship continued to fire arrows at the passenger ship, nailing everyone who remained on deck to the spot. There were also people who kept firing arrows towards the cabin, but their bamboo bows were not strong enough, and they couldn't penetrate the wooden planks that were several inches thick, and only a few arrows shot into the holes that were knocked open by Tang Feng and the others, but obviously they couldn't hurt a few people.
Seeing this situation, a big man who was watching everything from the bow of the boat frowned: "Master Chu, this is not a way, it is better to ask me to bring the brothers up." But in case they dive out of the water, ask your people to watch it. ”
A man who was still shirtless and exposed his bronzed tendons and flesh even in such a cold winter snorted coldly: "Of course, that's the best, let us see Brother Huang's ability." Rest assured, we have archers to cover us, and there are my brothers underwater, and none of them can go. Lean on and get on the springboard! The last few words are addressed to the people below.
The first to speak was Hu Lin's cronies, Huang Zhaoxu, the leader of the guards, and this group of people was moved by him from nowhere to find Tang Feng and them to take revenge. At his beckoning, the old Iron Guard, who had been standing there with his arms crossed, shouted in unison, slashed his knife in hand, and followed him towards the edge of the ship's string.
At this time, after the helmsman of Nachu gave an order, the boat under them actually walked a few feet sideways, and then a wide gangplank was set up between the two boats, opening a road for Huang Zhaoxu and them to the opposite boat.
Huang Zhaoxu took the lead, and he had already rushed to the springboard with low cheers. The remaining dozen or so brothers also followed, rushing over one by one with red eyes. These people are the closest iron guards around Hu Lin, in their hearts, Hu Lin is just like their father and brother, even if he is no longer here, they have to do something for Hu Lin, such as killing the Jinyi guards who framed him now.
The rest of the ship didn't follow them. They also understood the situation just now, all the people on the passenger ship were hard ideas, and their own vanguard nine people were killed as soon as they got on the ship, and they didn't want to joke with their lives. However, those archers still stretched their bows and arrows, staring at the opposite boat, if Huang Zhaoxu and they fell behind, their bows and arrows could also be taken care of.
Just as everyone's attention was on the passenger ship ahead, no one noticed that a wet figure had climbed up from the water. Yang Zhen entered the water again not to escape, but to fight back. Do you not have bows and arrows, then I will slay you before you, so that your bows and arrows will not be used at all.
This can't be blamed on Lord Chu and the others for being too careless, and they didn't even take care of their backs. It's because they think that there are several water ghosts watching under the water, and no one will be able to come from underneath. And what they are facing is Yang Zhen, a character who likes to break the enemy with surprise soldiers and is extremely watery.
In the cabin of the passenger ship, Tang Feng and the others had also found that the random arrows on the opposite side had stopped, and when they heard a bang, the boat shook a little, and they knew that the other party was going to fight to seize the ship. This played into their hands, the other party suddenly killed, and used bows and arrows, making them so passive, these Jinyi guards, who had not suffered too many losses, were naturally full of anger.
Now that the other party dares to kill the ship directly, it is time for them to let the other party taste the power. Without Tang Feng's order, Deng Ting, Ma Feng and the others had already drawn out their hidden swords—their embroidered spring knives were placed on the second floor, and they only had some short weapons for self-defense—and after a shout, they squeezed out of the entrance of the cabin and killed Huang Zhaoxu and his gang who had just stepped on the boat.
Suddenly, on the deck of the passenger ship, which was not too large, a fierce battle broke out. And because of the peculiarity of the location, this battle is even more tragic than the general battle on land. In just one shot, there were wounded and bleeding on both sides, and two guards actually fell off the boat.
In a small space, dozens of people are fighting together, and it is no longer a matter of individual martial arts skills that determine victory or defeat. What determines the victory or defeat of both sides is only the fighting spirit and fighting spirit, who is more fierce and ruthless, and who is more advanced and retreating.
Huang Zhaoxu danced with a knife, but the Jinyi guards who killed him were forced to retreat back with ferocity, and there was a person who gritted his teeth and tried desperately to block it, but after he cut off the weapon with a knife, he cut off his right arm with a knife. When he slashed out again, wanting to kill this person, Tang Feng, who had just kicked an iron guard off the boat, killed.
His knife flew out like Bai Lian, just in time to block the fatal blow for this brother. The two men crossed blades, and they already recognized each other after taking a look.
"Tang Feng!"
"Huang Zhaoxu!"
"Sure enough, it's you!" After Tang Feng shouted, the two of them quickly fought in place, and for a while, the two knives fought fast, and they actually hit more than 30 knives, and the sound of the exchange of blows was endless, but no one could help anyone, and it became a fighting situation.
But in this way, the original good situation of the Iron Guard is somewhat untenable. Although these people are good at martial arts, they are not the opponents of these Jinyi Guard masters in front of them. If Huang Zhaoxu was here, with him resisting the killing, he would still have the upper hand, but now that he was entangled by Tang Feng, they would not have an absolute advantage, and they could only rely on the strength of the crowd to have a draw with the nine brocade guards.
Looking at the fierce battle on the ship, the eyes of the Chu helm lord were straight, and he felt a burst of dizziness: "Grandma, they really have a deep hatred, this is a ...... fight" Just when he sighed, thinking about whether he had to slip away first if he saw that the situation was wrong, there was a chaotic sound below, and then a terrible scream came up.
This is also a two-story ship, and the Lord Chu Helm has a group of people on top and a group of archers below. The screams were coming from the deck below.
On the first deck, Yang Zhen was already like a tiger entering a flock at this time, wielding the steel knife in his hand and killing the more than ten archers, and in front of him, there was also a corpse full of feathered arrows and the body twisted at a strange angle.
