"Your Excellency is truly powerful." He Ming silently gave Lin Bei thirty-two likes in his heart.

Lin Bei's prestige in Wanghai City is incredibly high, so although Lin Bei didn't know about this water war at all, his subordinates would still find an excuse to say that it was Lin Bei's might, and to go deeper, this can indeed be regarded as Lin Bei's credit, after all, the steam engine was built by Lin Bei's craftsmen.

The boat traveled through the spring valley, followed by Anhui City, after passing through Anhui City, the two banks of the river are the places where the mountains and forests are covered, this situation will continue until Hukou County, almost a thousand miles of land, because there are many monkeys on both sides, when passing by this section of the river, the sound of apes on both sides of the river is endless, so this section of the river is called the Ape Cry Gorge, this section is not infested with many people, but when He Ming came last time, he knew that there were actually many river bandits here, so he signaled everyone on the boat to be more careful.

After another hundred miles, the surroundings were already full of high mountains, it was getting late, only the sound of the great river surging and the roar of the apes around them from time to time, and the fleet began to slow down.

People in this era generally have night blindness, although the diet structure of Wanghai City is quite rich now, but many people's night blindness is still not cured, steamships can also sail at night, but the speed is much slower, probably only maintained at a speed of about fifteen miles per hour.

He Ming ordered all the ships to light up the fish fat torches, illuminate the entire hull, and ordered the flag bearers and the archers with good eyes to keep patrolling the river, so that no water ghosts would climb onto the big boats.

Because the fleet is brightly lit, it is no different from a shining light bulb at night like this, which will naturally attract the attention of the river bandits on both sides of the Yangtze River, but because the fleet is very large, the river bandits who dare to fight the idea of the fleet naturally have some strength, and ordinary river bandits will not have this kind of mind at all.

There are indeed many bandits in this section of the river. Among them, there is the largest wave of river bandits, named Jinfan, the officials and soldiers of Guancheng and Pengze regard this Jinfan as Jinfan thieves, and their leader is called Ganning Ganxingba, this person is extremely water-like, and it is said that he can sneak into the river for three days and nights. Swim faster than the swimming fish, in addition to the water, Ganning Ganxingba's martial arts are also extremely high, there is the courage of ten thousand people, it is such a commander, the Jinfan thief is the most powerful river bandit in this section of the river.

The Jinfan thieves usually do not produce, rely on the water to draft, and make a living from fishing, if there are passing merchant ships or officials and soldiers in the Yangtze River. They will rob, and they are extremely numerous, there are more than three people, and at this time, they are eyeing the fleet of Wanghai City.

Last time, the Jinfan thief had actually noticed the big ship of Wanghai City, but last time, when the fleet of Wanghai City passed through Guò Ape Gorge was daytime, and the speed was very fast, even if the Jiang bandits targeted it, they couldn't do anything. Because they really can't catch up, but this time it's different.

Gan Ning has a short temper. When he is angry, he will hit or kill people at every turn, but this person still has many advantages, that is, he is more generous, he is righteous and squandering money, and when he is not angry, he is willing to mingle with the soldiers. It is precisely because of this that the efficiency of the Jinfan thief is very high, and when Wanghai City first arrived at the Ape Gorge, Gan Ning learned the news, and learned that this was the big fleet that passed through Guò last time, and Gan Ning's mind was lively.

Afterworld. Sun Quan will reuse Gan Ning naturally because Gan Ning has the ability, Gan Ning has almost no shortcomings except for liking to be irritable and killing, he is very good at water warfare, he is also outstanding in land warfare, and his own martial arts are also amazing, in addition, his brain is not like Dian Wei, this is a brave and resourceful person, Sun Quan once said, said that Cao Cao has Zhang Liao, he has Gan Ning, Zhang Liao is the head of the five good generals, Gan Ning can be compared with Zhang Liao, it can be seen that Gan Ning is powerful.

At this time, Gan Ning and more than a dozen Jinfan thieves who were proficient in water nature lurked under the river, quietly waiting for the arrival of the fleet of Wanghai City, and Gan Ning was ready to use his own martial arts to take down the big ship of Wanghai City.

Gan Ning is quite wise, the last time Wanghai City's fleet passed by, he already felt the extraordinary things about the ship, after all, the big ship that can be surprisingly fast against the current is still the only one in this era, but unfortunately because the ship is too fast, so Gan Ning can only look at the ocean and sigh, but this time the fleet slows down, if Gan Ning does not take advantage of the situation to loot, it will be worthy of being a thief.

He Ming didn't know that he was going to face a historical celebrity, but because of his duty, the area around the Ape Gorge was also a frequent haunt of Jiang bandits, so he ordered the sergeant to be on strict guard, and it can be said that he had already done what he had to do, and he himself did not remove his armor.

When the fleet passed by Gan Ning and their diving place, they heard a few slight 'grabbing' sounds, and Gan Ning and his men grabbed the side of the boat with their claws under the water, and the river rushed by, and the noise brought by them completely drowned out the sound of these claws grabbing the boat.

This is also one of the most commonly used methods of Jinfan thieves, lying down the river, waiting for the boat to pass, and then grabbing the side of the boat with flying claws, and then landing on the shore, killing people and robbing the ship, if a blow is missed, these river bandits can quickly jump into the river, and once they enter the river, they are like swimming fish into the water, at least safe and worry-free.

Gan Ning did not choose the two largest Dawei Dragon King ships, but used a fifteen-zhang big ship as the breakthrough point, which is also Gan Ning's caution.

When the flying claws gripped the hull, all the dragon gods knew nothing, and they didn't know that danger was coming.

Gan Ning gestured to his subordinates in the water, and then surfaced at the same time, Gan Ning looked up, just in time to see a dragon god sergeant put his head out of the boat to look around, when he saw Gan Ning, this dragon god sergeant was shocked, and was about to drink, Gan Ning jumped up with the power of the flying claw, and the trident in his hand stabbed hard, directly stabbing the throat of the dragon god sergeant.

The "enemy" dragon god sergeant still shouted hard, and at the same time jumped out of the boat, about to hug Gan Ning and go into the water together.

"Enemy Attack !!" In just an instant, the rest of the Dragon God Army on this ship had already reflected, and this reaction speed surprised Gan Ning, especially the sergeant he had just stabbed to death with a trident, although his throat was pierced and his head was about to be poked half-pulled, he still pounced on it with instinct, wanting to stop Gan Ning for a moment, this sense of battle made Gan Ning feel quite surprised: What kind of elite is this?

To Gan Ning's surprise, it was still behind, as soon as the sergeant on the boat shouted after the enemy's attack, Gan Ning heard the sound of a whizzing bowstring pulling, and dozens of long arrows shot towards the boat, and then, Gan Ning heard a scream, but it was his men who were shot by bows and arrows. They fell into the river one after another.

"Who are these people? How did the response come so quickly? Gan Ning was shocked.

Gan Ning has been plundering merchant ships and military ships in this Ape Gorge for more than a year, and merchant ships are no more, but even if they are military ships, they have never seen such an elite division.

Gan Ning didn't know that he kicked the iron plate, everyone in the Dragon God Army believed in Lin Bei, the dragon god, and everyone was willing to die for Lin Bei. The steamship is the most important thing in Wanghai City, and the soldiers on board are all the elite of the elite, they can die in battle, but they swear to protect the safety of the steamship, this kind of faith is amazing.

At this time, the dragon god sergeants on the attacked ship all drew their spears, came to the side of the ship, and stabbed the brocade thief under the ship, if you look closely. You can know that every time the gun is stabbed, almost in a group of two, one shot blocks the way for the Jinfan thief to climb up, and the other stabs the Jinfan thief's body, the efficiency is extremely high, just a few shots, under the cover of the bow and arrow, the Jinfan thief is in addition to Gan Ning. All were stabbed to death.

Gan Ning's martial arts are strong, and even if he holds a claw in one hand, he can climb to the bow of the ship with his arm strength. The trident in his hand waved, not only shooting down the bow and arrows that were fired, but also the spears that pierced him, and then Gan Ning jumped onto the bow of the boat.

Gan Ning Gan Xingba is only in his twenties now, but he is at the peak of his body. As soon as he got on the boat, Gan Ning gave full play to his skills, stabbing left and right with the trident in his hand, although the dragon god sergeants were all elites, they were not afraid of death. But he still couldn't stop it, and was killed by Gan Ning five or six people in a row.

At this moment, Gan Ning heard a whistle, and the dragon god sergeant besieging him suddenly dispersed, Gan Ning was in surprise, the hatch of the cabin was suddenly rushed open, and a sword-like light slashed down towards Gan Ning's head, and at the same moment, two dark black long swords stabbed towards Gan Ning left and right.

Gan Ning glanced at it, but saw that the person who made the knife had an ugly face, like a ghost, at this time, holding the knife in both hands, jumping in the air, slashing at him, ignoring his own empty door.

Gan Ning set up the long knife with a trident, and with a bang, Gan Ning and the person who made the knife were shocked, and Gan Ning was shocked to retreat several steps, and then, Gan Ning retreated, separating the two long swords one by one.

"This guy has a lot of strength." Gan Ning thought in surprise.

The person who made the knife was also shocked, she was Zheng Rou, she and the other two were ordered to garrison this ship, and now that the ship encountered a strong enemy, Zheng Rou and his companions naturally wanted to take action.

Zheng Rou is now a member of the Hidden Dragon Special Warfare Army, and can enter the Hidden Dragon Special Warfare Army as a woman, Zheng Rou's strength is undoubted, her strength is not inferior to many men, it can even be said that in terms of strength alone, Zheng Rou is the first person in the Hidden Dragon Special Warfare Army, at this time holding a knife in both hands, and jumping in the air, Zheng Rou originally planned to split the person in front of him in half, who knew that the person in front of him was born with divine power, and the force of the shock made the tiger's mouth a little numb.

However, the Hidden Dragon Special Warfare Army is the elite of the elite in the Dragon God Army, stationed in the big ship at this time, each ship is three people, with the tacit understanding of the extreme, although Zheng Rou is shocked, but he is not afraid at all, a few steps forward, and a leap, the same knife out, and at the same time, the other two are also stabbed with a sword, the same move, but because it is a sacrifice of life to fight, so it can really make the enemy frightened.

At this time, the surrounding Dragon God Army shouted at the same time, and stabbed straight with their spears, enveloping Gan Ning's whole body.

Gan Ning is indeed excellent in martial arts, but he also feels extremely difficult in the face of these soldiers who are not afraid of death, especially Zheng Rou, whose strength is only a little less than him, and the threat is great.

Gan Ning shouted, first blocked Zheng Rou's big knife with a trident, but he heard a choking sound, Gan Ning's trident was cut off by Zheng Rou's long knife, and in Gan Ning's stunned, the spear stabbed, Gan Ning barely dodged the important parts of his body, but was still stabbed into three shots.

"Hah!!" Gan Ning waved the broken trident and swung away the spears around him, and at the moment when Zheng Rou was slashing again, Gan Ning jumped into the water.

More than a dozen arrows were fired.

Gan Ning waved the broken trident and swung most of the arrows, but still a few long arrows shot at him, and then, Gan Ning finally fell into the water.

After a long while, Gan Ning floated up from the water and shouted at the boat, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Although Gan Ning was seriously injured, he had no resentment in his heart, he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Just finished shouting, a few more arrows were fired, Gan Ning scolded a few times, quickly shrank his head into the river, avoided the long arrows, and waited until he surfaced again, but heard someone laugh and said: "I am looking at the dragon god army under the command of the great dragon king of Haicheng, you are that Gan Ning Gan Xingba?" ”

"Exactly."

"It's better to be famous than to meet." The man laughed.

Gan Ning was furious, but thinking about the precautions on the ship, Gan Ning felt a little frustrated, each of these sergeants was indeed elite, and he was not afraid of death, with his ability, he couldn't take a big boat.

"What was the name of the man who made the sword just now? Do you dare to report your name? Gan Ning asked.

There was no more silence on the ship, and the Hidden Dragon Special Warfare Army would never announce its name. (To be continued......)
