The river is only 100 paces wide, and the thaw in the center is probably less than 60 paces, and at this time, 40 small boats have come to the middle of the river, and it will not take more than a few minutes to row to the ferry on the opposite bank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yuanqing's nails were already a little white, and he trembled slightly unconsciously.

What to do?

If Hu Erhan and his more than 100 relatives were to be let go, there would be no five or six hundred people on the ferry side, and I am afraid that they would not be able to eat at all.

Even, even if there are five hundred or six people, they may not be able to eat it.

Li Yuanqing has already experienced the bravery of the Eight Banners, not to mention a big master with a yellow flag like Hu Erhan.

But if you don't let them go, the loot of the rear team, don't think about it.

Li Yuanqing's mind was spinning rapidly, but he didn't dare to make the slightest movement on the surface.

No man is content.

If you want to achieve both fame and fortune, how can it be so easy?

What you eat and swallow in your mouth is meat.

In an instant, Li Yuanqing's face turned pale, and he had already made a decision.

He cautiously accompanied Xiao to the Tartar leader, "Master, the wind is strong on the river, you be careful not to freeze yourself." ”

The leader of the Tartars glanced at Li Yuanqing lightly, smiled slightly, and did not speak, but looked at the other side.

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Li Yuanqing's attitude.

Li Yuanqing didn't say much, bent down humbly, and carefully served by the side of the Tartar leader.

This Tartar leader has always been by Huerhan's side, and Li Yuanqing wants to make a move against Huerhan, but he has no chance at all.

By this time, the fleet had already sailed past the center of the river and was deflecting in the direction of the ferry.

On the side of the Tartars on the opposite bank, the ice on the shore has not been excavated, and the Tartars of the rear team have begun to lead their horses to the ice, waiting for the Huerhan side to cross the river first, and Li Yuanqing to meet them later.

Although the war horse has spirituality, it still can't be compared with people, the war horse is afraid of water, even if there are Houjin soldiers pulling, they are still a little reluctant, people are whistling and horses, and the scene on the other side seems a little chaotic.

Although the weather is good today and the sun is shining, the river is low-lying, and the wind is not small, blowing the boat back and forth.

This also made these real slave soldiers very uncomfortable.

In a short time, the fleet was already close to the direction of the ferry, and it was less than twenty-five steps from the edge of the ferry.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and Li Yuanqing's brain was clever, so he didn't wait any longer.

"Master, watch out for the bottom of your feet." Suddenly, Li Yuanqing let out a low sigh.

The leader of the Tartars was stunned for a moment, instinctively looked at his feet, and at this moment, Li Yuanqing jumped up violently, using the weight of his entire body, and pounced on the leader of the Tartars, with the help of huge inertia, the two of them fell violently into the water together.

There was a "plop" and the water splashed.

The water was cold and biting, but Li Yuanqing had already been mentally prepared, pulled out the dagger in his boot with his backhand, and slashed twice at the neck of the blurred figure in the water beside him, and in an instant, the dark red liquid surged outward along the water.

Li Yuanqing didn't care whether he was dead or alive, so he slammed out of the water and shouted, "Do it." ”

It was all too sudden.

Even Hu Erhan, who was at the bow of the boat, didn't see what was going on, and when Li Yuanqing got out of the water and shouted, he realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly shouted loudly, commanding the real slave soldiers around him to control the boat.

But Guan Canghai and these sailors have been secretly watching Li Yuanqing's movements, Li Yuanqing jumped into the water first, they were already prepared, and Li Yuanqing drilled out of the water, shouted, they also got the signal, without a moment of hesitation, they jumped into the icy river water.

The bottom of these boats, as early as last night, had already moved.

The sailors got to the bottom of the ship and opened the gap in the bottom.

Soon, the bottom of all the boats began to leak.

The gap was the size of a bowl, and although the boat was buoyant, there were real slaves on it, and their bodies pressed against the boat, and the river began to pour frantically into the boat.

Coupled with the raging river wind, the entire river surface was suddenly in a mess, and the shouting and shouting were endless.

Li Yuanqing was already a fierce man at this time, plunged into the bottom of the water, and swam frantically towards the ferry.

Wearing clothes in winter and swimming in this icy river is not a good thing, even for those who are well-versed in water, they can't last a few minutes.

In a moment, Li Yuanqing had already come to the shore, and Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan couldn't wait any longer, so they hurriedly rushed over and pulled Li Yuanqing out of the water.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing couldn't care about anything else, and shouted loudly, "Archers and bird gunners go up together and kill them." ”

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan reacted at this time, and hurriedly ordered their long-range troops to strike at the river.

The gap was very large, and the boat was sinking very quickly, and at this time, with the fire of the long-range fire on the side of the ferry, the river was already in chaos.

The sailors on Li Yuanqing's side were all skilled in water, and after they jumped under the water, they took off their clothes one after another, like dexterous fish, and continued to cause trouble for the boat.

Li Yuanqing saw the vigorous figure of Guan Canghai not far away at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "Canghai, only Hu Erhan's life will be left, and the rest of the people, not one will be left." ”

Guan Canghai was on the boat next to Li Yuanqing, he had long been paying attention to Hu Erhan's movements, and Li Yuanqing had eliminated the Tartar leader, and the defense system on Hu Erhan's side had been disrupted.

These real slaves are good hands on land, but in the water, they are not one at all.

Guan Canghai waved his hand at Li Yuanqing, and then plunged into the water.

Although the distance was only a few dozen steps, the situation was too chaotic, and Li Yuanqing didn't hear what Guan Canghai said, but in a moment, there were already more than a dozen naked figures, gathering towards Guan Canghai's side.

At this time, Xu Heizi also led people to rush out of the ferry, all of them were naked, only carrying short knives, and they were all capable sailors.

"Your Excellency. Let's go. ”

This was not Li Yuanqing's arrangement in advance, it should be Xu Heizi's temporary decision, and Li Yuanqing didn't have time to talk nonsense at this time, "Brother Xu, don't let them land." ”

"Yes." Xu Heizi arched his hand and shouted loudly to the sailors behind him, "Sons, kill the Tartars." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and jumped into the water first.

In a moment, more than a hundred red figures jumped into the water one after another.

At this time, most of the boats on the river have been submerged in the water, and these real slaves have no choice but to jump into the water to save themselves.

Unfortunately, most of them are wearing heavy armor, and if they want to take it off, they have to be helped, which is very troublesome.

The armor that is usually regarded as a treasure has become the culprit who wants their lives.

As they jumped into the water one by one, the situation on the river became even more chaotic.

But Li Yuanqing's side prepared in advance, and made a quick decision, and by surprise, these real slaves lost their greatest advantage, and with the burden of heavy armor, they have obviously fallen into the disadvantage.

On the other side, those Tartars who had not entered the river also panicked, desperately shouting peace, some people had already put their bows and arrows on the strings, but the situation on the river was too chaotic, they did not dare to launch, they could only shout like crazy.

Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming controllable, Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and took off the thick cotton jacket on his body.

Although the thick cotton jacket is warm in winter, it is even cooler than ice after being soaked in ice water.

Chen Zhong said with concern: "Yuanqing, are you okay?" ”

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Brother Chen, I'm fine." The situation is out of control. We have to prepare in advance. ”

"I understand." Chen Zhong nodded desperately.

Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, these Tartars are very tenacious, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

The main battlefield is in the water, Zhang Pan is average, even if he is in a hurry, he can only stare dryly, such a chaotic situation, the people and horses on both sides are already entangled in the water, and the long-range firepower is not easy to use.

Li Yuanqing said: "Brother Zhang, you immediately let people light a fire and set fire to the surrounding dense forest." As soon as there is news here, we will retreat immediately. ”

It has reached such a point, it must have alarmed the main force of the Tartars on the other side, and it is obviously unwise to leave a tangled entanglement.

As long as Hu Erhan can be caught, even if it is only his head, Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong will have enough merit.

With these exploits in hand, whether it is to Mao Wenlong or to the imperial court, there is enough explanation, and it is not difficult to replenish the troops in the future.

It's a cold day, the sailors' clothes are already soaked, it's hard to keep warm, so they can only use these natural fuels, anyway, in this era, there are no environmental protection organizations, don't worry about them looking for trouble.

At this time, Zhang Pan had already regarded Li Yuanqing as the backbone, nodded hurriedly, beckoned the soldiers around him, and set fire to the ferry station and the surrounding dense forests.

After a while, there was a raging fire behind him, thick smoke rose everywhere, and the chill dissipated a lot at once.

But on the surface of the river, the entanglement continued, the waves in the water were surging, the blood was splashing, and it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

Li Yuanqing was also very anxious, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he could only wait for the news from Guan Canghai's side.

After about a few minutes, a dozen figures swam quickly towards the shore with a dozen figures clustered around one person, and among them, a fur hat could be faintly seen.

Li Yuanqing recognized it at a glance, it was Hu Erhan's hat, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In a moment, Guan Canghai had swam to the shore with more than a dozen people.

Li Yuanqing rushed forward quickly and pulled him out of the water, but in Guan Canghai's right hand, he was still holding an arm, and everyone hurriedly pulled it out together, it was Hu Erhan.

Huerhan drowned a lot and had already fainted.

Guan Canghai hurriedly saluted Li Yuanqing, "My lord, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life and caught this big tartar." ”

Li Yuanqing and everyone were overjoyed, "Canghai, in this battle, you are the first to make a contribution." Someone came, undressed Huerhan, and covered him with a few quilts. Inform the brethren in the water. Let's withdraw. ”

"Yes."

Several people hurriedly dragged the unconscious Hu Erhan, took off his clothes, and some people brought quilts from the post station, like a concubine for the emperor, wrapped Hu Erhan and retreated.

At this time, Guan Canghai raised his fingers and whistled vigorously.

In such chaos, shouting and shouting is not as good as this penetrating whistle, and soon, Xu Heizi and those sailors also reacted and retreated to the shore naked.
