Chapter 165: Who Robs Whom
The boat sailed all night, and it was dawning. But Zhao Yunze, Qin Mo'er, and Wang Hui in the cabin were still in the dark.
This cabin was originally a utility room, there were no windows at all, and the lantern in the cabin, the candle had long since burned out. The tossing in the middle of the night made Zhao Yunze, Qin Mo'er, and Wang Hui physically and mentally exhausted, and at this time, they were still asleep.
In another cabin, Abuhua, the leader of the Turks, had woken up, and he was sitting on a couch, thinking about what was going to happen. In addition to Abuhua, there were several Turkic soldiers in the cabin, some of whom were already awake and some were still sleeping.
"Boss, that Wang Hui, what should we do with it?" a woke Turkic soldier asked Abuhua.
Abuhua was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I'm thinking about this too." Since we can't kill Wang Hui, the best way now is to let Wang Hui continue to take us to work, but those two Tang Dynasty people will not let Wang Hui out. Conversely, we couldn't get into that cabin. In the words of the Han Chinese, it has become a trend of riding a tiger, and I don't know what to do next. ”
The Turkic soldier also sighed and said, "If only we had a little more of them." ”
Abu Hua said: "It's not a matter of many people now, but that we can't take those two Tang Dynasty people, and the two of them can't do anything about us." ”
"I'm worried that we will be hunted down by the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." The Turkic soldier said.
Abuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "This is really possible, although Wang Hui's plan is good, but there are many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, and people may not be able to see through Wang Hui's idea." After all, the waterway is much slower than the land route, and if the Tang Dynasty people patrol along the Weishui River, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not find us;;;;;;;; ”
"Otherwise, let's go ashore early," the Turkic soldier suggested, "there are many more routes of action on land than on water." If the people of the Tang Dynasty want to find us, it will not be so easy. ”
Abuhua thought for a while and said: "Those two Tang Dynasty people have already kidnapped Wang Hui at this time, even if we ignore Wang Hui's life, why can't these people control those two Tang Dynasty people anymore." ”
"So I said, if only we had more people." The Turkic soldier said.
"Well, where are you going to find someone now?" said Abuhua with a sigh.
Just then, a Turkic soldier who was on duty on deck at night walked into the cabin. "Chief, there's a ship coming upstream." The soldier said to Abu Hua.
Abuhua hurriedly got up from the couch and asked, "What kind of ship is it?"
"There are no flags on board, it should be a civilian ship." The Turkic soldier said.
"Let's go, go out and have a look," Abuhua said, and left the cabin. The Turkic soldier who had spoken to him earlier followed out with the Turkic soldier who had come in to report the news.
Abuhua stood on the deck and looked upstream, and saw the shadow of a ship appear on the river upstream. The ship was slightly larger than theirs. There was no flag on board, it was indeed a civilian ship.
"It's good if it's not a ship of Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers, don't pay attention to it." Abuhua dropped a sentence and was about to go back to the cabin.
"Chief, there are people on the deck of that ship, and they seem to have weapons in their hands," said one of the Turkic soldiers.
Abuhua hurriedly took a closer look at the ship opposite. On the deck of the ship, there were five or seven figures, and in the hands of those people, there were long or short things, which should be weapons.
"Could it be a merchant ship, these men with swords are guards," Abuhua guessed.
The military system of the Tang Dynasty was the government soldier system, and the government soldiers were the army in war and the people in leisure time. When called to participate in the war, the government soldiers also need to bring their own weapons and armor, so the people of the Tang Dynasty did not prohibit weapons. Except for some powerful crossbows and other ordnance, which are not allowed to be manufactured and stored privately, ordinary swords, guns, bows and arrows are allowed to be used by ordinary people. Therefore, Abuhua guessed that those on the opposite ship were the escorts of the merchant ships.
"If it's really a merchant ship, how about we just rob them," one Turkic soldier suggested.
Abuhua hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and call those Tang Dynasty shipwrights to come and have a look, if it is really a merchant ship, we will make a small fortune." ”
The boat that Wang Hui got was actually a hijacked passenger boat docked at the Weishui River. The people in charge of sailing were all people of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the ship upstream was very close to the ship of Abuhua. A Turkic soldier was about to carry out Abuhua's order, but at this moment, several feathered arrows suddenly shot from the upstream ship.
The three of them were shocked, and hurriedly lay on the deck to avoid the feathered arrows.
"Bastard, this is someone trying to rob us," Abu Hua scolded as he crawled on the deck looking for a place to hide. "Quick, Gather the Brethren and Prepare for War"
A Turkic soldier hurriedly climbed into the cabin.
The ship on the opposite side was still firing arrows in this direction. Abuhua hid under a stake tied to a cable, and her heart was full of distress. Why did he make meritorious contributions at the beginning, and took the initiative to ask to join Wang Hui's team. This operation has never been smooth. It's better at this time, I was thinking of making a small fortune, but who knew that the "fat sheep" turned into a jackal and treated his ship as fat.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are really not things, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are all waste, why is the law and order of the people so chaotic, you can meet the wicked Abu Hua casually and scolded the Tang Dynasty in her heart.
Soon, all the Turks in the cabin came out with weapons.
The Turks were good at shooting, and each Turkic soldier carried a bow and arrow, and as soon as they left the cabin, they looked for a place to hide their bodies and shoot back at the opposite ship.
Originally, the arrows shot from the opposite side were only a few in twos and threes, and they were not very dense. However, the Turks returned the shot, and the density of arrows fired from the opposite side also increased suddenly. The feathered arrows that flew like locusts threatened to cover the entire ship of Abu and their flowers.
At the moment, there were only twelve of all the Turkic soldiers combined. There are two people who are still watching the boatmen who can't leave, and there are two people guarding the cabin where Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er are being held. There are only eight people who can fight, plus Abu Hua.
However, looking at the density of feather arrows from the ship opposite, there were more archers than everyone on his side combined, and Abuhua's heart suddenly cooled by half.
It's over, could it be that my Abu Hua is going to die here today
"Go and tell Wang Hui and the two Tang Dynasty people that we have been attacked, and see if they have a way to deal with it."
At the critical moment, Abuhua remembered that Zhao Yunze and they were coming. Abuhua also admitted that in terms of wisdom and strategy, he was not as good as Wang Hui and Zhao Yunze.
