Chapter 32: The Capture of the Ship
"Crunch, squeak!" Countless wheels made a stiff grinding sound, from time to time there were people in charge urging back and forth, and from time to time there was the sound of cows mooing in front of the two lines of grain trucks, and hundreds of people were nervously moving forward.
Dense torches flickered along with the road, and there were naked clansmen clinging to ropes beside each frame for fear that the grain bags would fall.
"Bang bang bang." The sound of neat steps came from far and near, and the people of the Zhu family transporting grain couldn't help but shake the torches suspiciously, looking at the direction where the sound came from, and several people in charge of the clan were also standing on the side of the road to observe.
Suddenly, countless uniformed soldiers swarmed out of the darkness wielding spears, and quickly surrounded them without saying a word, and the frightened Zhu family people threw down the grain cart and fled in all directions, how could these mud-legged men and the private soldiers in the clan be the opponents of the soldiers who had been trained for so many days, and those who dared to make a move were immediately pierced by the spears and fell to the ground without moving.
Yang Baimu had already sent people to cut off the back road, and after forming an encirclement, he immediately pressed all the frightened people back.
Yang Baimu stepped forward and looked at these people coldly, and the bold steward raised his head and trembled: "Dare to ask the military master what he wants to do, we are all members of the Zhu family!" ”
"Hmph~ What is Ben going to do? What is your sin in fornicating with thieves and transporting grain and grass for them? ”
"Wow!" Hundreds of people were frightened, their faces turned pale with fright, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Yang Baimu lifted a steward and said sharply, "Do you know where the anti-thief ship stops?" That's right, the captain of this school spares you from dying! “
The steward trembled in a frightened cold sweat and said, "The little one knows, the little one knows!" ”
"What about you!" Yang Baimu asked the neatly dressed person next to him again.
"The little ones know, and the little ones know."
Yang Baimu grabbed one of the two of them and lifted them aside, looked at the people in the field and said coldly: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
"Puff puff!" The terrible screams sounded in an instant on this deserted road, and the blood and water gathered into a river flowing, and the two people standing beside Yang Baimu were scattered, covering their eyes with their hands, and trembling all over.
After dealing with the hundreds of men, the soldiers checked again, quickly stripped off their armor and weapons, hid them in the grain cart, and drove the carriage to the beach under the guidance of the steward.
The scouts, who had been given the exact location, spread out and went to report to the group.
Yang Baimu was bare-chested, pinching the back of the necks of the two Zhu family members for almost half an hour, and then he saw three building boats and ten flat-bottomed boats moored on the seashore from a distance, and the shore was full of thieves with torches, waiting for them.
Yang Baimu sneered and said to the two: "If you dare to say more nonsense for a while, don't blame us for being ruthless, there are tens of thousands of soldiers ambushed around this fleet, don't ask for help whimsically!" ”
The two hurriedly nodded and said, "The little one won't, the little one won't!" ”
Let go of the two of them, and follow behind with a few song commanders, in case of accidents.
The frame of the carriage gathered under the ship, and he saw a general wearing armor walking out of front of him, frowning and saying, "Why is it so grinding, half an hour late?" ”
The steward hurriedly bowed his waist, his heart beating violently, and he arched his hand: "There is a little delay on the way, and I am a little late." ”
The anti-thief general took two steps forward and asked, "Why are you shaking?" ”
When Yang Baimu heard this, he slowly took two steps forward, holding the waist knife in his hand, and cold sweat immediately oozed from the forehead of the steward, and he was about to explain, when he saw a white-clothed man stepping out of the boat and said loudly: "Doesn't the Zhu family have good wine and good food to deliver, Xu Yanzhi thanked him here!" ”
Yang Baimu had never seen Xu Yanzhi, and when he heard the other party say this, he was a little stunned, and he was about to draw his knife, but he did hear the sound of breaking the air everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the anti-thief general standing in front of him was shot in the neck by an arrow before he turned back, and he fell there, and the two Zhu family members were frightened and quickly climbed under the frame, holding their heads and not daring to look out.
Yang Baimu didn't know why Vice General Xie didn't wait for them to attack and shouted first, but at this moment he couldn't take care of it, the soldiers behind put on their battle armor, raised their weapons and rushed forward, and the white-clothed man standing on the thief ship drew his long sword and chopped off several thieves around him and shouted: "Get on the boat quickly!" ”
Xu Yanzhi's appearance undoubtedly gave Xie Ju a shot in the arm, he was ambushed in the shadows and saw this white-clothed boy appear, he was very happy, knowing that the young master was fine now, it proved that the Zhang family did not send the letter, and when Yang Baimu heard that the other party wanted to let people bring things on the boat and was stunned, he immediately drew his knife and shouted to kill.
Zhou Tao shot when he heard the killing, and he was extremely accurate enough to kill the general of the thief soldiers a hundred steps away, and in the sea, the brave and good man who had just arrived at the rear of the building heard the sound of killing, and pulled out his dagger in a little panic and began to climb.
The thieves would have thought of such a shock, and all the soldiers on the flat-bottomed boats had gathered on the beach to prepare to carry food, and were lazily waiting for their Xianqu chief to ask questions, and before they could come to their senses, they were shot by the oncoming arrows that only shot the people in the front row.
Yang Baimu still cared about wearing the armor, waving the long knife and slashing it forward, Xie Ju was even more brave and extraordinary, and took the soldiers to tear the bloody road, grabbed the thick ** rope hanging down from the boat, bit the knife, and after a few efforts, he climbed onto the boat and relieved Xu Yanzhi of the danger of fighting alone.
Zhou Tao led a hundred archers to stand around the ships, harvesting the enemy's lives accurately and quickly, and the several building ships behind were also killing the sky, presumably the people of good water boarded.
Hundreds of thieves on the coast were washed away, and these soldiers brought out by Xie Yu now finally realized the essence of fighting, no matter how you slash with a knife, I can indeed accurately avoid squatting, and my shoulders are vigorously pressed against the enemy's abdomen, grabbing the opponent's thighs with my hands, getting up, and turning the thieves who are still wah-and-a to the back, it seems to be very slow, but these movements are tempered by actual combat under the incomparable proficiency.
Before he could stand up, the dizzy thief was pierced into a bloody hole by countless spears, and he couldn't even make a sound, so he died there.
Blood mist flew, broken arms flew, more than a dozen lieutenants seemed to start a competition, scrambling to set off a bloody storm in the crowd, everyone had the same goal, to kill all the thieves under the ship, and quickly board the ship.
There were eighty pulpers and more than a hundred soldiers on each ship, and these people who received food every time were Sun En's cronies and cruel men, but today, they did meet more cruel people and more fierce troops than them.
Half an hour passed, and the thieves under the ship were emptied, and the soldiers grabbed the thick ropes and climbed onto the boat.
Xie Ju and Xu Yanzhi, who were tightly guarding the rope, had already become bloody people, stepping on the sticky blood, and their footsteps began to slip, Xie Ju never had a soft hand in killing, this was his strong point, and the soldiers kept pouring up behind him, which also gave them a chance to breathe.
"Yang Baimu, Zhou Song, Yang Feng, go to the rest of the building ship quickly, be fast!" Xie Ju kicked over the thief soldier and slashed the opponent's neck with a swing of the knife.
This is completely a one-sided killing, not to mention the receiving fleet of only more than 1,000 people, whether it is the intensity of training and the sophistication of weapons, the thieves are at a disadvantage, especially when the first building ship kills the remaining few thieves, Zhou Tao's archers joined, so that the other two building ships that were not more than three zhang away from each other were reinforced by arrows.
The brave men of Shanshui desperately threw the thick hemp rope off the side of the boat, and countless soldiers began to climb, and under the strict and meticulous arrangement, the unprepared thieves collapsed in less than an hour.
Throwing the corpses on the boat into the sea, the soldiers carried the food to the flat-bottomed boat, Xie Ju stood in the corner of the building boat and smiled at a few thieves who surrendered: "Do you know what to do?" ”
"The little ones know, the little ones know!" The thieves kept kowtowing, watching the boatload of blood being washed away, and the horrified souls were rising.
"That's good, just bring the road and spare you from dying!"
"Yes! Be! ”
"Report ~ Deputy Marshal, the grain has been transported, the soldiers have also boarded the ship, and dozens of cattle and the two people of the Zhu family are left below!"
The soldier reported.
Xie Ju turned around and looked down, and was about to speak, when Xu Yanzhi came up with a bloody face and said, "Put the cow on and take it away!" ”
"Pretending to be a cow?" Xie Ju asked strangely.
"Huh! These cattle are of great use, and this flat-bottomed boat can rush to the beach, as long as it is driven ashore with a fire and tail, is it stronger than a thousand troops? Xu Yan said with a straight smile.
"That's right, pretend to be a cow, pretend to be a cow, put these beasts on the boat, and point their tails when they land, so that they can play a majestic role for our southern army first."
"Hahahaha." The soldiers below burst into laughter, knowing the benefits, and drove the cattle to the punt for a long time to be overwhelmed.
"Deputy marshal, there are two people from the Zhu family down here!"
"Chop!"
"Ah~ah~ Talking doesn't count~"
Yang Baimu laughed and said, "The captain of this school didn't kill you. ”
After packing, all the ships quickly headed north, and more than 10,000 soldiers were loaded by thirteen ships and slept on the deck, while the paddlers were also divided into several groups, constantly rotating and the speed was greatly increased.
"We have to arrive at the port at dawn, otherwise, Master Hou will be very lucky." Xu Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the black and oppressive sea, and said worriedly.
Xie Ju smiled and introduced to the lieutenants behind him: "This is the nephew of the Zhang family, Captain Yang, Ben Shuai saw that you were stunned just now, and attacked first, I really didn't expect Xu Gongzi to come." ”
How could Yang Baimu mind this, hugged his fists and said: "The deputy marshal is polite!" ”
"By the way, Xu Gongzi, the elder of the Zhang clan noticed this and sent someone to Ninghai and asked Ben Shuai to do it, thanks to not sending someone to the island!" Xie Ju said.
Xu Yanzhi would not mind if the other party killed the Zhang family, the death of these people can be exchanged for the safety of tens of thousands of people, and the death is worth it.
"How did the deputy marshal know that my uncle didn't send someone to the island?" Xu Yanzhi had an unfathomable smile on his face.
Xie Ju was stunned, "Ah! A voice said: "What, he sent it?" ”
