When Li Tunchang and Dogyu Cheng were still observing the enemy's situation, there were already several fishing boats that were hit by the menacing boats.

Although the size of the hulls of the two sides is similarly different, there is still a huge difference in combat effectiveness between ships that are only used to transport goods and military combat ships!

In the first wave of attack, four boats faced four small boats, but the boats were unscathed, but the boats were sunk and overturned on the spot. The two boats that survived were also shot by a burst of crossbow arrows from the enemy on the boat, and the boat operators were either killed or wounded, causing the boats to lose power and float on the water.

However, the attackers apparently did not focus on the boat. The number of enemy ships rushing out of the reeds was still increasing, and they were divided into two groups, one in front of the other, and the other in the back outflanked the naval fleet end to tail. It seems that the other party's appetite is quite large, as if they want to annihilate the fleet in one fell swoop!

"Damn it!"

After a long time, Li Tunchang, who had only reacted from the enemy's surprise attack, cursed secretly in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Hold the soldiers! Get ready for battle! Don't mess around! ……”

It's a pity that the side that was attacked at this time was just a crying ghost. In order to transport soldiers and supplies, there were not many sailors on each ship, and even Commander Li Tun's subordinates were temporarily transferred to sailors.

Under the sudden blow, not to mention those small boats, even the larger flat-bottomed boats, there are not many people who can react in time at this time.

After all, they are only amateur sailors, and they have no training and experience in fighting on the water!

The fishermen, who had just been requisitioned, were not even fully armed. As soon as they encounter an enemy attack, they do not need the enemy to rush to them, they have already become a mess on their own. When the enemy was in front of them, the fishermen either squatted on the boat with their heads in their hands or jumped into the water in a hurry to flee for their lives.

To say sedation. The original water thieves were the calmest. It's just that the composure of the previous water thieves is the composure of how to escape by boat. Such an act not only did not help the current war situation, but also blocked the maneuvering route of the ships.

As for the soldiers belonging to Li Tun who came from the county soldiers, due to the lack of water. One by one, in the violently shaking boats, they couldn't even stand on their feet. Even if someone picks up a knife and gun and tries to resist, it is only to deliver food to the attacker. Most of the time, the enemy on the boat doesn't even need to board the ship, just shoot the crossbow at the ship, and the trouble is gone. The enemy swept down this time, and it seemed that it was not easy!

"Steady! Don't mess around! ”

After all, Li Tunchang was a little brave, and hacked to death a former water thief who intended to jump into the water to escape with a knife, and his eyes glared at Dogfish Cheng. Scolded:

"What? You want to run away too? ”

Dogyu Cheng was thinking about how to escape for his life, and was suddenly glared at viciously by Li Tunchang, and he was immediately a spirit. On the boat, although he was not afraid of Li Tunchang's force, he suddenly thought of his family, but he fell under the supervision of the Pingtao County Order. With such a hesitation, Dogfish Cheng's determination to escape was immediately changed. He glared at Li Tunchang and shouted viciously:

"Of course not! Damn. No matter how you say it, you have to fight it first! ”

Then, Dogyu Cheng turned around and shouted to several henchmen:

"Dog calf. Don't think about diving! As soon as you get into the water, the mother will kill you without discussion! Grab a boat and rush out, and when you get to the reeds, the damn will be fine! ”

Li Tunchang's ferocity just now was purely because he couldn't swim, and he knew that he would not be spared at this moment. That's why I want to pull a few more people together. Now that he heard Dogyu Cheng come up with a set of rules, he knew that there was still a possibility of breaking through, so he immediately put away the arrogant posture just now, beckoned a few guards, and hugged Dogyu Cheng together.

A small ship of the enemy. Including the oarsmen, it can accommodate about 10 people. Now Dogyu Cheng and his group of more than a dozen people are in a pile, and if they pair a walker, they may not be able to take it.

As long as they grab a boat, combined with Dogfish Cheng's familiarity with the water surface of "Zhaoyu Qi", Dogfish Cheng doesn't believe that he will not be able to escape!

At this moment, the eyes of more than a dozen outlaws were fixed on a punt rushing towards them!

"Kill! Kill it! Grabbed the ship! 's it! ”

Dogfish Cheng agitated loudly.

On the oncoming walk, in addition to six oarsmen and one helmsman, there were four full-time combat sailors. Unlike oarsmen and helmsmen, who only have short knives and small shields, full-time sailors wear thin leather armor, each holding a bow and crossbow, and other equipment such as knives, axes, and shields at their feet. Just looking at these equipment, one can feel that these sailors must be difficult to deal with.

It's just that no matter how difficult the enemy's sailors are, Li Tunchang and Dogyu Cheng have to go up hard. They have no choice!

Since the Taiyuan soldiers were unprepared for battle, and were basically not equipped with bows and crossbows, the attackers could approach the enemy ship to a distance of ten paces very calmly, and only then did they release the first wave of arrows. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dogfish Cheng and his gang cleverly took out spare ship boards and the like to block the arrows. However, due to the close proximity between the two sides, two people were still injured by arrows that pierced the ship's plank.

After firing the arrows, the four full-time sailors threw their bows and crossbows into the cabin, quickly picked up the small shields of swords and axes under their feet, and prepared to come forward for melee combat.

The attack was so sharp that as soon as the battle began, all the small boats on the county side were fled, and three or four of the fifteen medium-sized flat-bottomed boats were occupied.

Like the ships in front of them, there are only three that can still be entangled in resistance. These warlike sailors are reluctant to share the dozen or so first-class exploits in front of them with others!

At the head of the four full-time sailors was a thin black young man in his twenties. Compared to other sailors, this man's armor was noticeably more elaborate, with small pieces of iron inlaid on the leather armor, and a rare brilliant bird feather inserted into the hard leather hood [helmet].

Obviously, this person's identity must be quite high in the attacking party. If you can capture this person, it will most likely be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.

Just before the boat was about to hit the punt headlong, the young warrior leapt to his feet, jumped over a gap of more than a foot, and landed lightly on the punt. A Han sailor who was next to him slashed at him, wanting to take advantage of his unstable foothold and strike first.

Unexpectedly, this warrior, the steel knife in his hand suddenly pulled out a blue brilliance, and with a knife in the head, he first cut off the opponent's war knife, and then slashed the enemy's chest obliquely, and in one fell swoop, the ribs on the enemy's chest were cut into seven or eight sections!

The demeanor of this knife shocked Dogyu Cheng and others!

With just one knife, the morale of Dogyu Cheng and his group quickly fell to the bottom.

After killing an enemy with a single sword, the strong man shouted:

"I'm Xu Sheng first! Who would dare to fight again?! ”

Xu Sheng shouted violently, which immediately frightened all the county soldiers.

"A thousand people are broken! He's a thousand people broken! ”

"Mom! Don't fight! Surrender! ”

"A good man spares his life! I surrender! I surrender! ”

The soldiers of the Han Army, who were not high in morale, saw that the "Thousand People Broken" strong man who had only appeared in rumors actually appeared alive in front of them, how could they still have the will to fight?

A few former water thieves directly knelt on the deck and begged to surrender. The situation of the sailors from the county soldiers was better, but they just stared at Li Tunchang with their eyes to see how Li Tunchang reacted.

As for Dogyu Cheng, when he saw the panic look of his subordinates, and thought of his wife and children who stayed in Pingtao County as hostages, he sighed, threw away the short knife in his hand, and said:

"I surrender ......"

Before the words fell, Dogyu Cheng took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and suddenly ran wildly, and jumped into the water with a very graceful body.

That's the sad thing about being a water thief. Li Tun was born in a wealthy family, and even if the enemy surrendered for a while, his family would still try his best to redeem him. But as long as Dogfish Cheng is slightly shaken on the battlefield, the Pingtao County Order will inevitably take out anger on his wife and children!

Therefore, Li Tun can be lowered, but Dogfish Cheng cannot be lowered.

"Want to escape?"

Just when the others on the boat didn't understand, Xu Sheng sneered, and the steel knife came out of his hand, instantly catching up with Dogyu Cheng, who had just entered the water, and breaking Dogyu Cheng's back in one fell swoop!

With a miserable scream, the leader of the water thieves who had been roaming in "Zhao Yuqi" for more than ten years never surfaced again, but left a trace of red marks on the water next to the flat-bottomed boat.

"Who else?!"

Xu Sheng toed a little, picked up an iron knife on the ground, and shouted at the rest of the enemies who still had blades in their hands. In the face of this desperate situation, and with the experience of Dogfish Cheng, Li Tunchang's face has become pale. Shaken by a knife flower in Xu Sheng's hand, he was unsteady under his feet, shaken by the shaking of the ship, fell to the deck with a thud, and never got up again.

In this way, the remnant of the people fell.

This ambush battle on the water lasted no more than two quarters of an hour. Xu Sheng ambushed a team of 15 Han flat-bottomed boats, 70 small boats, and more than 300 sailors with 20 "walkers" and 10 "red horse" boats, as well as more than 300 sailors.

The results of the battle between the two sides with a comparable number of people were: Xu Sheng captured 14 flat-bottomed boats and more than 30 small boats at the cost of losing 11 boats and 11 soldiers killed and wounded, captured more than 120 people below the commander of the Han army, and beheaded more than 50 ranks.

In the Han army of Bingzhou, there was no naval army. After this battle, there were no more available ships in Taiyuan County to organize a decent water force again. The entire water surface of "Zhao Yuqi" will become a territory for the Taixing army to run rampant!

So, how did Xu Sheng cleverly design this battle?

To understand this, you need to start at the beginning. (To be continued......)
