Section XVIII

With a "bang", Hei Er and the water ghost fell into the water at the same time, splashing a large splash. In the splash, the water ghost was still holding the big knife, as if he wanted to be ruthless again. Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Wu Ming pulled out the red night, and even rushed towards the water ghost with a sword. The lower half of the water ghost was hugged by Hei Er, where he could dodge, and the knife in his right hand was cut off from his body by Wu Ming, and he screamed, and was directly taken into the water by Hei Er, only to hear another sound of the river, as if he was boiling a pot, I don't know if the water ghost was struggling in pain, or other water ghosts came to reinforce. Wu Ming was greatly worried and shouted, "Hei Er, are you okay?" ”

As soon as the words came out, two more figures jumped up from the river and rushed straight to Wu Ming. Wu Ming was startled and let one person pass, but he was held by another person, unsettling his foot, and fell on the board of the boat.

He was horrified in his heart, and his backhand was slapped with a palm, which happened to be slapped on one of the Tianling covers, and the man screamed miserably, and his brain burst when he landed, but he was hard-hearted, and he didn't let go when he was dying. It was also blocked, and two more water ghosts jumped out of the water, grabbed Wu Ming's feet and dragged them into the water. It seems that the other party also knows the success or failure in this move, and he is already a little desperate, how can he drag Wu Ming into the water. No matter how tall he was, he couldn't dodge it at this time, and there was another "bang", and he had been dragged into the water by the two of them.

If you do get pulled into the water, God knows what else awaits you. In a hurry, Wu Ming reached out and grabbed it, but at the last moment, he grabbed the edge of the boat. But the strength of the two water ghosts is also surprisingly large, Wu Ming only felt that the lower half of his body was tightly hugged by the two of them, and he dragged him into the water desperately, and the flowers splashed in the water, and he didn't know how many enemies there were, his heart was numb, and he was about to use his true qi to fight with the other party, but he felt that his right hand was tight, but it was Lu Hui who saw that Wu Ming was in a critical situation, and grabbed his right arm.

Wu Ming's heart was certain, his courage increased greatly, he snorted lightly, and immediately turned around. The surrounding noise is getting louder and louder, the river breeze is slow, and the smell of blood goes straight to the end of the nose, it seems that there are dead people under the water, I don't know if Hei Er is safe or not. But now Wu Ming is too busy to take care of himself, and he can't take care of it so much, and his backhand is slapped underwater with one of them, hitting one of them in the shoulder. The water ghost hugged Wu Ming's right foot with one hand, freed his right hand, and was about to make up for Wu Ming's knife, when his shoulder suddenly suffered a sharp pain, and his right hand couldn't help but loosen, knowing that most of his hands could not be spared, he simply pulled with all his strength, this pull force was amazing, Wu Ming was caught off guard, and was almost pulled into the water, fortunately, Zhu Xiaolong also ran over to help, and pulled Lu Hui with all his strength, so as to stabilize his body.

Wu Ming also knew that the situation was critical, and his right foot shook violently, and the man's chest was like a giant mallet, and he sank directly into the water. After a sigh of relief, he turned around and slapped at another person with a palm, the man saw the tragic death of his companion, his heart was cold, and after a little hesitation, he was hit by Wu Ming's shoulder with all his palm, his chest hurt, and he only felt that his internal organs were shaken out of place, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out. Wu Ming was afraid that he would be like the man just now, and he would also struggle to the death, so he made up two more palms, and slapped half of the person's body to pieces, the man let go of his hand and gradually sank into the water, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pull, pull."

Lu Huigao shouted, and together with a few guards, everyone pulled Wu Ming up from the water. The river was bitterly cold, only for a short while, Wu Ming only felt that half of his body was a little numb from the cold, he ignored everyone's support, climbed to the side of the boat and shouted: "Hei Er, Hei Er." "If it weren't for Hei Er's desperate rescue just now, he would have become a lonely soul in the river, but in this way, Hei Er would also be under siege, if he had three longs and two shorts, Wu Ming wouldn't know how to explain to Zhu Yuqing. shouted a few words and no one responded, he panicked, and was about to take action, when suddenly the water on the side of the boat "boomed", and a head came out of the water, Wu Ming was startled, almost slapped it with a palm, and looked at it, who else could it be if it was not Hei Er.

The black was shivering from the cold, and the clothes on his chest were also torn. Wu Ming was inexplicably surprised, holding the edge of the boat with his left hand, and with a little force with his right hand, he had pulled Hei Er up from the water, and said, "Hei Er, are you okay?" ”

Hei Er was seriously injured, and as soon as he was pulled up, he suddenly sat on the boat with his butt, panting in his mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, I picked up a life tonight, and I almost capsized in the gutter and was planted in the river." After breathing a sigh of relief, he smiled at Wu Ming and said, "Master, the old slave is fortunate not to be dishonored, and those guys have been driven away." ”

In just a few rounds, most of those water ghosts were killed and injured, seeing that Wu Ming and the others were more brave than the other, they still had the fighting spirit there, and the remaining few people didn't care about Hei Er's life or death, and they scattered and fled, Hei Er said that the life he picked up was appropriate. However, he was able to return to the boat safely, Wu Mingshi was happier than rescuing Yang Xiong, and said to Lu Hui: "Lu Hui, you check the second master's injuries and give him some medicine on his wounds." ”

Hearing that Wu Ming even changed his name, Hei Er's heart warmed, he was born and died tonight, and he was finally not busy in vain. He knew that from now on, he would really be recognized by Wu Ming, and this young master, the powerful Zhenxi Hou, could be regarded as truly accepting him.

The knife wound on Hei Er's chest looked terrifying, but in fact it was just a flesh wound, he was shivering from the cold, and after a long battle, he didn't have the true qi to protect the body, in fact, it was no big deal, Lu Hui gave medicine to his wound, he meditated on the spot for a while, and his pale face was already bloody. Seeing that Hei Er was fine, Wu Ming was at peace in his heart, slapped his palm on the water, only heard a "bang", the river boat was stimulated by the force of the palm, and rushed out of the elder, he shouted: "Come on, everyone, it's coming soon." ”

In recent years, many Southern Han patrols have been planted in the hands of these water ghosts, and they will be sent out to deal with Wu Ming, even if they can't do it, at least they can be delayed for a while, but Wu Ming and others are ridiculously strong, just a short while, most of the water ghosts were killed, Xiahou Tian was anxious and regretful, seeing that the other party was going to take advantage of the victory to kill, he immediately made a decision and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

If you don't withdraw now, when Wu Ming and the others rush to the front, they won't be able to withdraw even if they want to.

With his order, the two warships collectively turned around and began to turn to evacuate quickly. In the past two years, the confrontation between the north and the south, the Northern Han Dynasty felled wood on Fenglin Mountain, and supervised the construction of warships on the spot. Considering the problem of mobility, in addition to the sails, the warships also have special oar holes, and the two warships are large ships with eight oar holes, even if they drive against the wind, the speed is also very fast, and they rush out more than ten zhang away in just a short time. By the time Wu Ming joined Yang Xiong, the two enemy ships had rushed more than a dozen zhang away and were about to disappear into the darkness.

Looking at the enemy ships in the distance, Yang Xiong sighed with emotion: "The northerners are becoming more and more sophisticated, if they were so elite back then, Nanning would be in danger." ”

Lei Fei'er pulled him, glanced at Wu Ming, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't drop the text, don't thank Wu Hou for saving his life." ”

Wu Ming is still on the Xuanwu team, and Lei Feier is on the Vermilion Bird team. At that time, the relationship between the two was acceptable, and Lei Feier was quite casual with him, but now Wu Ming's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he is above 10,000 people, and under one person, but she is still free and easy in the face of Wu Ming, as always.

Yang Xiong has always been upright, and he will not be as casual as his wife, so Lei Fei'er reminded him and hurriedly saluted: "The lower official thanked Wu Hou for saving his life." ”

Wu Ming glanced at the other side. The two enemy ships moved extremely fast, and in just a short time, they were completely hidden in the darkness, only the wind gusted in the river, and the sound of Lang waves was loud, and it was quiet and peaceful, and no one thought that there had been a thrilling battle here just now. He returned the salute and said, "Brother Yang is polite, let's go ashore first, if Xiahou Tian calls his Lao Tzu too, things will be in trouble." ”

Xiahou Tian was stunned, it is very likely that he will call for reinforcements again and make a comeback, Wu Ming does not dare to stay here for a long time, Yang Xiong nodded and said: "What Wu Hou said is very true, it is better for us to go back to the south bank first." ”

The two were like-minded, and the relationship was not bad before, but then Yang Xiong followed the Queen Mother, and Wu Ming fought outside all the year round, so they were estranged, and after tonight's battle, the two were invisibly much closer. The two boatmen followed the tidal flats and dropped anchor at the entrance of the Wenyuan River and the Great River.

I didn't feel it in the distance, but as soon as I got ashore, I realized that the current of the Wenyuan River was very fast. By this time the moon had risen, clear and cold, pouring an icy silver glow on the water. The sound of the "rumbling" water of the Wenyuan River is everywhere in my ears, straight like ten thousand horses galloping. Wu Ming turned his head to Yang Xiong and said, "Brother Yang, are you going to explore the water potential tonight?" ”

Yang Xiong was half a body behind Wu Ming, looked at the turbulent Wenyuanyuan River, and smiled when he heard this: "Yes, when Wu Hou dismissed the meeting yesterday, he said that he must give a plan to break the enemy within three days. Xia Guan didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he brought a group of subordinates overnight to survey the water potential, but I also underestimated the north, and it was too close to Hanshui City tonight, if it wasn't for Wu Hou's rescue, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back. Alas, it's not enough. ”

Wu Ming also smiled: "Brother Yang has always done things, he must have any novel ideas?" ”

Yang Xiong sighed and said: "I have an idea, but it is not very mature, and when I explored the water potential today, I realized that I was talking on paper, thinking about one thing, and it was almost impossible to implement it." ”

When he said this, Wu Ming was a little itchy, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yang has thought of something, can you tell me about it?" ”

Yang Xiong glanced at Wu Ming, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's okay to say it, but this is the idea I thought?" Two days later, the official skills are poor, and he can't say why, Wu Hou can wait for military law. ”

Wu Ming laughed and said, "Brother Yang, it's okay to talk about it, even if you have already made suggestions." ”

Yang Xiong pointed to the tidal flats in the distance and said: "Actually, my method is also simple, which is to make use of this small island in the middle of the river. ”

Wu Ming's heart moved: "How to use it?" ”

"It is to build a pontoon bridge," Yang Xiong said: "To build a pontoon bridge in the river, the biggest problem is the length problem, if the pontoon bridge is too long, it is easy to be washed away by the water, but there is such a small island in the middle of the river, the length of the pontoon bridge can be greatly shortened, if it can really be done, we can go directly to the other city." However, when I explored today, I found that the water was too fast, and even if there was a small island as a foreshadowing, I was afraid that I would still not be able to make the trip. In fact, the biggest problem is that in the last paragraph, the other party will definitely destroy, and then the losses will be heavy, even if it can really be erected, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to directly attack the city with a naval army. ”

This is indeed a solution, Wu Ming thought for a while and said: "Then Brother Yang, if you really want to build a pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge needs a lot of wood, how to solve it?" ”
