Chapter 501: Independent Life in Distress
Players and NPCs on board fight hard to stop river pirates from boarding the ship. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the other side, and in the end, some river pirates were missed.
When the pirates got on board, they harassed the people on board so that they could not take care of the other pirates. More and more river pirates came on board and fought with the ship's guards.
For a time, swords and swords rose one after another on the five clippers. The battle was fierce.
Due to the small number of escorts, there were no more than twenty people on each ship, and the rest were some sailors and coolies who had no combat effectiveness. River pirates have developed an absolute superiority.
Constantly people fall from boats into the river. River pirates are still boarding the clippers. Independent lives also joined the fray. His rank is still based building, so he can only deal with one river thief.
Fighting against an independent life is a blue-clad river bandit leader. He is armed with a quick knife and slashes the long sword of independent life.
Independent life does his best to fight against the leader in blue. Anyway, there is still a certain gap between his strength and the other party.
After more than a dozen rounds, the strength of independent life is exhausted. The blue-clothed leader took the opportunity to make a sword, and the long sword of independent life was taken off. The blue-clothed leader casually put the quick knife on the neck of his independent life.
Fortunately, the river thieves did not intend to hurt anyone. Otherwise, the life of an independent life will not be guaranteed. The leader in blue sees that an independent life is the key to the person. As soon as he seized on his independent life, he shouted "Stop." Everyone was silenced by his loud voice.
Seeing that the independent life was cured, the people of the Tianyuan Society immediately gave up resistance. Anyone who put away his weapons was surrounded by river pirates in the bow of the boat.
All five clippers were captured by river pirates. Several river pirates entered the cabin. They couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that the whole ship was full of weapons and equipment.
On the largest river pirate ship, stood a tall middle-aged man. His swarthy face shone brightly. This man is the leader of the Loach Gang, Loach.
The men reported to the loaches that the ships were full of weapons. These things are not easy to shoot, and the loaches also find it difficult. You must know that the Loach Gang came out of the nest this time because someone promised a lot of money. The loaches promised each other. But he told the other party that he would only make one trip.
The loaches had no idea whose merchant ship it was hijacking. He didn't expect that what he had robbed was weapons and equipment. Seeing these weapons and equipment, the loach secretly regretted it. With so many weapons and equipment, the other party's origin must be not small.
The loach was figuring out what to do with the things, and his men were already moving the goods. At this time, the loach saw that at the end of the river, several large boats appeared.
This kind of big ship is the warship of the government. It can only be used by officers and soldiers. The army of Xiangyang Province is dominated by naval troops. The arrival of these official ships indicates that their actions have been discovered by the government.
The loaches immediately stopped his men from continuing to carry the goods. He ordered the ship to sail in a hurry. But these of his subordinates are a group of poor people, who are willing to throw away what they have in their hands.
In this way, when the official ship docked the Loach Gang's ship, their ship had not yet separated from the cargo ship.
The interceptor rope, which was originally set up for fear of the cargo ship escaping, became an obstacle for the river pirate ship to escape.
The loach was so anxious that it stamped its feet. He scolded his subordinates for returning his big things. As soon as the official ship approached the river pirate ship, two figures jumped over.
These two are Wang Chonghe and singing while walking. They jumped onto the cargo ship and began to rescue the personnel of the Heavenly Destiny Society.
Wang Chong's golden silk cold popsicle was powerful and heavy. The snake teeth that sing while walking are short and brisk. The two cooperated with each other to beat the Loach Gang's gang to run away.
Soon, most of the members of the Heavenly Fate Society were rescued, and then turned to attack. The men on the official ship also came to the cargo ship, joined up with their own people, and launched a counterattack together.
Wang Chong led everyone to fight for a boat and a boat. The five clippers were originally close together, which facilitated Wang Chong and others to attack continuously.
Soon, all the ships changed hands. The river pirates were driven back to their boats. Subsequently, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out of the official boat, and they launched an attack on the river pirates.
The big ship on which the loaches were traveling was not connected to the cargo ship. Seeing that the tide was turning, he left his men behind and fled alone.
Although the number of officers and soldiers is lower than that of the river pirates, the strength of these river pirates cannot be compared with the officers and soldiers.
The battle went very well. The loaches fled alone, and the other river thieves lost their fighting spirit. They all surrendered.
Wang Chong asked the generals of the officers and soldiers to take these river thieves to the government prison to await trial. He was going to interrogate the river pirates himself.
With Wang Chong's official position, he had the authority to interrogate the river pirates. He wanted to know the details of the river pirates.
After packing up the boat, Wang Chong led the team back. The boats of the river pirates were set on fire by officers and soldiers.
Wang Chong and his independent life took the clipper boat of the Tianyuan Society. Wang Chong asked about the time before and after the cargo ship was hijacked. Independent Life told him: "It was my carelessness that I was surrounded by river pirates." I thought Xiangyang Mansion was safe, so I didn't bring more guards. All responsibility rests with me. ”
Wang Chong comforted the independent life: "It's not all your fault. I didn't remind you in time. The military advisor once told me that we have made too many enemies now, and there are some people with ill intentions who are attacking our ideas. And I didn't care. It seems that this river robbery was premeditated. There must be someone behind it. ”
Independent life does not understand the situation of Xiangyang Mansion. He asked, "Who is we at enmity with us?"
Wang Chong smiled: "There is no hatred. It's just that someone wants to make a big fuss about the canal. So, Wang Chong gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Xiangyang Mansion to the independent life.
After hearing this, the independent person analyzed: "This Kong Yisheng must want to use the river thieves to force us to comply." He wanted us to hand over the management of the canal to him. ”
Wang Chong nodded and said, "You are very right. Kong Yisheng has a connection with river pirates. He must have done all of this. However, his wishful thinking fell through. We've cleaned up the river pirates, and we'll see what else he's up to. ”
Independent Life also smiled: "He is stealing chickens and rice." We can use these river pirates to defeat him. ”
The two laughed together. all think that Kong Yisheng is self-inflictedly smart. The flotilla sailed into Yuqi Lake. The marina is already in sight.
After the accident in the fleet, the people of the Tianyuan Society were very worried. Jing Xin took the rest of the people to meet them at the docks.
The fleet docked. Wang Chong saw that in addition to the people of the Tianyuan Society on the dock, there were many NPCs here. I saw that many of them were merchants he had seen in the Confucian family.
As soon as these businessmen with a sensitive sense of smell heard that Tianyuan would bring new goods, they immediately rushed to the dock to see if there was any profit to be made.
After Wang Chong got off the boat, he went to see Jingxin with his independent life. He told Jingxin about the process of defeating the river pirates.
Jing Xin said: "Kong Yisheng's courage is getting bigger and bigger. He knew that we had a background in the government, and he dared to do something to us. It can be seen that he is in a hurry. During this time, Meng Deyou pressed him too hard, making him a little overwhelmed. ”
