Late at night, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the calm lake, and the cool breeze blew, blowing ripples.

In Poyang Lake, Jinfan's fleet is moving silently on the lake, this time, Jinfan is fully dispatched, and even the baggage soldiers under Zhuge Jin are also brought together, it is obvious that Wang Chong is not ready to return to the fishing village where he was temporarily stationed before.

At the bow of the ship, Wang Chong stood in the wind, but the dark night could not hide the heat in his eyes.

The next battle is the first battle of Jinfan's road to unification of Poyang Lake, but it is also the most important battle, once it fails, Jinfan, who is greatly injured, may be difficult to make a difference in a short period of time, on the contrary, Jinfan, who swallowed Qianshan Island, will instantly become the most powerful force in Poyang Lake.

"Ziyu, what time is it?"

"It's three o'clock!" Zhuge Jin, who was behind him, glanced up at the moon in the sky and replied softly.

"How long will it take to get to Qiangshan Island?"

"According to the information provided by the sentinels, it should be soon, no more than a quarter of an hour at the latest!"

"Very good, give orders to go down, all of them are ready for battle, no one is allowed to make noise, and violators will be dealt with by military law!" Wang Chong's eyes froze, and he turned his head to Ren Jiang beside him and said, "Brother Ren, whether our Jinfan can successfully attack Qianshan Island depends on you!" ”

Qianshan Island is surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are cliffs everywhere, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Jinfan wants to attack Qianshan Island, there is only a way to attack head-on, but in this way, Jinfan's loss is bound to be not small.

Fortunately, in the process of Jinfan Sentinel scouting the terrain of Qianshan Island, he accidentally discovered a hidden waterway, which is not far from the water village, but it can just bypass the gate of the water village and directly enter the Qianshan Island.

It's a pity that this waterway is very narrow, the water level is low, and the army can't pass at all, Wang Chong is helpless, and after discussing with Ganning Zhuge Jin, he decided to send a small force to infiltrate it first, and then secretly open the gate of the water village from the inside, and let the Jinfan army enter.

At present, there are too few talents available to Jinfan, Gan Ning still has to command the army, Wang Chong's identity is different now, and naturally he can't take risks easily, so this task naturally falls to Ren Jiang.

"Shaolin, you can put 10,000 hearts, maybe when I open the gate of the water village, those guys will still be lying on the bed and sleeping!" Ren Jiang laughed, and then strode away.

Looking at the back of Ren Jiang's departure, Wang Chong's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know why, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What? Is there anything wrong? Seeing the strange look on Wang Chong's face, Gan Ning asked puzzled.

"Brother, don't you think Zigang is a little underestimated?" Wang Chong took a deep breath, "This Li Tao has been able to occupy Qianshan Island for so many years, and he has forced other water thieves in Poyang Lake to unite together, and there should be some real talents under his hands, I am worried that Zigang will take the enemy lightly and trap himself in it." ”

For more than a year, except for the breakthrough time, Jinfan has won almost every battle on the river, and these victories have subtly changed the mentality of Jinfan.

Pride is sometimes a good thing, because it is a sign of self-confidence, but at the same time, it can also paralyze people's hearts, especially in a state of complete ignorance of the enemy's situation, which can often lead to a catastrophe.

If Wang Chong was still the previous Wang Chong, he would definitely not care about Ren Jiang's performance just now, and even take it for granted, because even if he was as cautious as Gan Ning, he still didn't notice anything wrong before?

But who is Gan Ning? was reminded by Wang Chong like this, his face immediately changed, he came to his senses, and hurriedly chased after Ren Jiang.

Wang Chong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, the reason why he didn't remind Ren Jiang in front of him just now was mainly for fear of arousing Ren Jiang's rebellious feelings, and when the time came, Ren Jiang was likely to take his words as wind in his ears, and even be dissatisfied with himself.

In the final analysis, Wang Chong's prestige is still too low now, and if he says a hundred words to Ren Jiang, I'm afraid it's better to say a word to Gan Ning, otherwise, why would he beat around the bush like this?

Soon, an island entered Wang Chong's field of vision under the moonlight, and in the hazy light, Wang Chong could vaguely see the flickering sparks on the island, as if they were the eyes of a ghost.

Late at night, it is often the time when people's consciousness is the weakest, more than half of the time, the people on the island have already fallen asleep, even the soldiers who are keeping vigil on the arrow tower are also holding weapons and dozing, plus in order to hide, Jinfan has not held the lamp all the way, so when Jinfan's fleet stopped a few hundred steps away from the gate of the water village, the other party still did not notice anything unusual.

"Inform Ren Jiang that you can act!" Wang Chong commanded the guards beside him.

A moment later, dozens of ships quickly broke away from the fleet under the cover of night, bypassed the gate of the water village, and disappeared on the side of the island.

"Brother, you should also go down and prepare, when Zigang opens the gate of the water village, we must rush into the dock as soon as possible, kill the other party by surprise, and we must not let them form a formation!" Wang Chong said to Gan Ning with a solemn expression.

"No!" Gan Ning nodded, and then went straight back to his fleet.

――――――――

The waiting time is always particularly tormenting, Ren Jiang has led the team to leave for almost half an hour, but there is still no movement on the opposite island, there is a faint sign of commotion inside Jinfan, after all, everyone's resistance to pressure is not the same, the spirit has been in a tense state for a long time, and it is inevitable that people will be tired.

Wang Chong stood motionless on the bow of the boat like a rock, without moving, at least it means that Ren Jiang did not reveal his whereabouts, which is good news, not to mention that in order to avoid startling the snake, the sentry only detected such a waterway, but did not deeply explore the structure and troop layout on the island, and it is normal for Ren Jiang to spend some more time.

In fact, let alone half an hour, as long as Ren Jiang can successfully open the gate of Shuizhai, even if Wang Chong is asked to wait until dawn, he will not have any complaints.

"Enemy attack!"

But at this time, an exclamation suddenly sounded on the island, although it soon stopped abruptly, but in this silent night, this shout was not suspected of being a thunderclap, not to mention the people on the island, even Jinfan, who had been lying in ambush outside the gate of the water village, could hear it clearly.

Torches and bonfires were lit one after another, and the originally dark Qianshan Island became brightly lit in an instant, and the gongs were struck with earth-shattering sounds, and the sound of shouting and killing came from the island one after another.

"Damn, did it fail?" Wang Chong's face was very gloomy, and he found that he still underestimated Li Tao.

Since his own sentinel can discover this hidden waterway, how can Li Tao, who has lived on the island for several years, not find it?

Although Ren Jiang's personality is as violent as fire, he is not a conceited person, Gan Ning's reminder, Ren Jiang will definitely be able to listen to it, but even so, Ren Jiang was discovered in the end, which can only show that Li Tao must have been arranged on this waterway.

"We can't wait any longer, send the order down, launch a strong attack immediately, and be sure to break through the gate of Shuizhai in the shortest possible time!"

Hesitation is a taboo for soldiers, at this time the other party has just woken up from their sleep, and they will inevitably have a riot if they don't know the situation for a while, plus there are Ren Jiang's people who should cooperate with the outside world, this is the best time to break through the water village, otherwise wait for the other party to calm down and completely wipe out Ren Jiangbu, this battle, whether Jinfan can win is a problem.
