Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at Liu Er for a while before saying, "The one who knows me is also a good wife!" Maybe I was born to work hard! I always feel that there are endless things to do, what you said makes sense, I'm afraid that when that time comes, I will still think about doing more things! ”

When the two of them were chatting about me and me at the bow of the ship, suddenly there was a message from the ship in front of them, which put the ships behind Gao Huaiyuan on alert, and the guards immediately ran to the deck of the ship, lined up on the side of the ship, and began to look ahead vigilantly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel a little defeated, and said in his heart I was on an official boat, and now that the rebels have been destroyed, who would dare to make trouble in Taihu Lake? Then he was very unhappy in his heart, and raised his eyes to the reeds in the distance.

When he took a look, he was suddenly a little frightened, only to see the reeds in the distance, suddenly out of dozens of small boats, under the operation of the sailors on the ship, like a wasp towards Gao Huaiyuan's three official ships, just look at it to know that these people will definitely not have good intentions, this time, there must be a purpose.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately asked for his telescope from Li Ruohu, raised it to look carefully, and immediately saw in the eyepiece that the people on these boats were all armed with weapons, and some people were holding bows and crossbows, so he immediately put down the telescope and shouted: "It's Taihu Lake water thieves!" Speed up and don't let them get close to the ship! Serve them with a bow and a crossbow! ”

Liu Er was also nervous at this time, and Gao Huaiyuan instructed her: "Liu Er will go into the cabin below first, it will be safer there, and if you have a husband here, you must not let these pirates board the boat!" ”

Liu Er shook her head and said: "No need for officials, Liu Er has always wanted you to take care of it, and when this kind of thing happens today, the concubine should advance and retreat together with the officials, and the concubine will not return to the cabin!" ”

Looking at Liu Er's resolute demeanor, Gao Huaiyuan knew that Liu Er would not retreat at this time, so he nodded and said, "Then you be careful, come here, get me my bow and knife!" ”

Someone immediately returned to the cabin and took out Gao Huaiyuan's hard bow and knife, and took out a protective soft armor for Gao Huaiyuan, Liu Er wanted to put it on for Gao Huaiyuan, but was pushed off by Gao Huaiyuan and said: "You put it on!" I don't need this, it's just a few water thieves, what can I do? ”

At this time, the three official ships, under the control of the sailors, began to accelerate, but they did not avoid the incoming water pirates, but the three boats gathered together and rushed towards the pirates' boats.

In this way, the water thieves were taken aback, and quickly dispersed to outflank the three official ships from both sides, and there was a great fighting posture, which made Gao Huaiyuan very strange, and most of them would choose some merchant ships to rob the ships of the general water thieves, and they were now riding on red official ships, which could be recognized at a glance from a distance, but these water thieves did not retreat at all, and they had a posture of surrounding, what does this mean?

Suddenly, Gao Huaiyuan's heart moved, it seems that these water thieves are not ordinary water thieves, they are likely to come to themselves, this is Taihu Lake, and it is also the place where King Ji disappeared, could it be that King Ji found out the news of his passing by and sent someone to ambush him? Impossible! When did King Ji have such courage? But who can it be if it's not King Ji?

He did not dare to determine the identity and intentions of the comers, but looking at their posture, he knew that these people would not have good intentions, so he immediately took command in the center, and asked the ships to prepare their bows and crossbows to resist the siege of these lake pirates at any time.

"Who is coming, don't you know that we are official ships? Actually intercepted the official ship, but couldn't find death? One of the soldiers immediately tore his throat and shouted at the approaching men.

"Lao Tzu is stopping you, tell you, today obediently leave the surname Gao Killing God, otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill all your officers and soldiers!" With the roar of the official ship, a burst of answers rang out from the other boat.

Gao Huaiyuan's prediction was immediately confirmed, it seems that this group of people really came to him, although he had reduced the casualties as much as possible when he was fighting to destroy the rebels in Huzhou, but the war was cruel, he could not control every general, only kill the people who resisted, so after a battle, there were not a few people who died in this war, and many of the so-called rebels who were killed were also fishermen from Taihu Lake, although later after he quelled the rebellion, he also vigorously appeased the local people, but in the area of Taihu Lake, There was still a rumor that the local people called him a fierce god, and some people released words to ask for his head.

Gao Huaiyuan looked from the boat, these people were all dressed as fishermen, and the weapons they used were also varied, not like well-trained people, so they were not too worried, and shouted loudly: "This official is Gao Huaiyuan, you have to be presumptuous, this official is bewitched by others when you wait for you, if you retreat now, this official will not pursue you and others, why don't you retreat quickly?" ”

But he didn't think that the other party not only did not retreat, but accelerated towards the three official ships, and each small boat actually lit a fire, someone lit a rocket, to release it on the official boat, and a few small boats piled up straw, nailed a big iron nail to the bow, although Gao Huaiyuan is not good at water warfare, but also immediately figured out their plan.

After knowing that today's battle could not be spared, Gao Huaiyuan immediately ordered: "Shoot arrows, don't let them get close to the ship!" They want to burn our ships! ”

After listening to the order, the guards on the official ship immediately opened their bows and arrows to intercept the small boats approaching them, and the thieves on the small boats also began to fire arrows at the official ships, and the rockets stained with fire oil fell to the official ships in the wind, and then nailed to the side or bulkhead of the official ships and began to burn.

The official ships are all made of hardwood, and they are painted with a very thick lacquer, and the fire resistance is not strong, otherwise, there would not be a fire attack during the water war in ancient times, let alone a large-scale war like the Battle of Chibi.

The officers and soldiers on each ship are all soldiers of the palace front division, not from the navy, and they do not have much experience in water warfare, only Gao Huaiyuan has experience in water warfare in Niangzi Lake to suppress bandits, and immediately ordered the sailors of each ship to use all kinds of sand and buckets prepared on the ship to extinguish the fire, and ordered the people on the three boats not to panic and continue to fire arrows to prevent the enemy from approaching.

After all, these people are all elite generals trained by Gao Huaiyuan himself, and several of them are still from Crouching Tiger Village, although they panicked for a while, they immediately regained their composure, and commanded the soldiers on the ship to start hurriedly releasing arrows to shoot those thieves who tried to get close to the big ship.

Although the officers and men did not know how to fight in the water, this time they were on a large vehicle and boat, and they were very smooth on the water, so they did not shake violently while standing on the boat, and the officers and men on the boat were all well-trained soldiers, and as soon as the two sides fought, the thieves suffered a great loss, and the officers and men were arrows fired from top to bottom, and the accurate head was very accurate, and after a few rows of arrows were shot, the thieves suffered heavy losses, and many people were shot on the spot on the boat, and from time to time some people were shot by arrows and fell into the water.

The thieves suddenly panicked, they thought that after the crowd on their side rushed up, the officers and soldiers could not do anything about them, and they did not plan to rob the ship and rob the goods, but wanted to get on the official ship, set fire to the official ship, and burn all the people on the ship alive, but they did not expect the officers and soldiers on the official ship to be so powerful, and the archery was so accurate, so some ships did not dare to get closer, and the small boats in a mess fought separately, some wanted to continue to rush, and some wanted to drive the ship away, and there was no way to take the official ship for a while.

At this time, someone shouted: "Don't be afraid! Take the planks to block the arrows, continue to rush up, as long as you nail the official ship and burn them! Now is the opportunity to avenge your loved ones, the High Killing God is right in front of your eyes now, and there will be no chance to take revenge after letting him go! Kill! ”

At the instigation of this person, the rebels who came to surround the official ship were stabilized again, picked up all kinds of wooden planks and other objects from the boat, and set them up as shields to cover the front of the ship, and at the same time continued to hide behind the planks and shoot at the officers and men on the official ship, but their accuracy was not good, and they did not pose much threat to people, but the rockets launched caused a lot of trouble to the official ship, so that the people on the official ship had to be distracted and constantly extinguish the rockets that fell on the ship, so as to prevent the spread of fire.

Gao Huaiyuan stood on the side of the side of the boat with a bow, trying to search for the bandit leader in these small boats, and in today's situation, the best way is to find the bandit leader and shoot him to death, and the rest of the people will naturally disperse, but the bandit leader is obviously very cunning, he is not wearing special clothes, and he is wearing fisherman's clothes at a glance, so that Gao Huaiyuan cannot find the guy who commands.

So he had to choose those rowers to start, Liu Er stood beside Gao Huaiyuan with a pot of carved arrows, providing arrows for Gao Huaiyuan, and Gao Huaiyuan was mighty, one arrow at a time, constantly shooting the boat operators on the boat on the boat, there is nothing to say at this time, either you die or I live, so Gao Huaiyuan will not tolerate mercy, dare to offend him here, he is simply looking for death, and he can't complain about anything.

Although the officers and men of the official ship tried their best to intercept these small boats with arrows, after the wooden planks were erected on the small boats, their chances of hitting were greatly reduced, and a group of small boats still surrounded them like wasps.

If it is a water war, the best solution for the navy at this time is to put down the boat to fight with it, and then the big ship is dispatched in the center, and take advantage of the situation to squeeze the enemy's small boat, and then you can win, but the current officers and soldiers on the official ship are not sailors, even if most of them know water, the water is not as good as these fishermen who live on the lake all day, and the technology of operating the boat is impossible to compare, so Gao Huaiyuan had to order the three big boats to get as close as possible, so as not to be divided and surrounded by the small boats of the chaotic people, but in this way, the flexibility of the official ship is reduced.
