Chapter 191: A Leaf Flat Boat Arrives
Yangtze River Insurance.
The waves crash against the embankment, and the wide river in the moonlight seems to connect the netherworld and the human world, which is quite chilling.
The sentry post is on the sheltered side of the cliff. A deep round hole was carved into the cliff wall, nailed into the wood, and a small platform was propped up. The walls are simply tied with bamboo side by side, cold in winter and hot in summer, but fortunately it is early autumn and the days are better.
"Xiao Jia," a sentry carefully climbed up to the sentry post, took out a round object from his arms, and handed it to the fellow villager on duty: "Wild cucumber, found during the day." ”
"Thank you, third brother." Xiao Jia put the bow and crossbow in his hand aside and took the cucumber.
The melon is not big, and there is some dust on it. He wiped it with the hem of his coat, then opened his mouth and took a bite.
"Sweet!" The juice moistened his lips and teeth, and he felt that the tiredness of the night had suddenly dissipated somewhat.
The middle-aged man who was called the third brother smiled innocently, picked up his bow and crossbow and walked to the position he was originally guarding.
"Eat," he said with a smile, "I'll stand for you for a while, so that the inspectors don't see that you're stealing food and get punished for nothing." ”
Xiao Jia nodded gratefully, and nestled in the wind to eat.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man who was standing suddenly looked nervous, his eyes staring at the river and not moving.
"Xiao Jia?"
"Hmm."
"Come and see." He pointed to a spot on the river and said, "Is there a boat there?" ”
"Is there one?" Xiao Jia's speech was a little inarticulate, and he stood up and said, "The river is turbulent tonight, and I haven't seen any boats." ”
The middle-aged man put his hands in front of him, and by the moonlight, he tried to look at it with a solemn expression, shook his head and said, "A flat boat, there is no one on the boat." ”
Xiao Jia's eyes also fell on that dark place, and he looked at it for a long time before saying, "It's a small broken boat, could it be that it capsized somewhere and floated here?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't speak, stared at the river carefully, suddenly pointed his bow at the river, and said coldly: "There is still behind!" That's five boats! It is impossible for so many to overturn at the same time! ”
Xiao Jia was startled, his body almost leaned out of the bamboo wall, and his eyes widened with all his might.
"Third brother!" There was a cry in his voice: "Go and report!" There are enemy ships intruding on the border! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a whoosh sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow had been nailed to the sentry post, with a "snap" sound.
"You saw that too?" The middle-aged man grabbed Xiao Jia and squatted in the sentry post, "Those small boats ......"
"It's all arbalest!" Xiao Jia cried: "People must be hiding under the boat!" There were quite a few people! Third brother, I don't want to fight. ”
It can be seen that it is a crossbow, because of the slight dew of the morning light, and also because of the reflection of those iron tools on the bow and crossbow. As for the arrows, they must have been wrapped in oilcloth and hidden under the crossbows.
Five boats, which can hide a lot of people underneath.
"Don't be afraid!" The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder: "You are guarding here, and I will go back to report the news." Our people are still sleeping in tents, which is terrible. It seems that Nanyi is about to rebel. ”
Xiao Jia's whole body was weak, he barely understood the middle-aged man's words, and squatted in the sentry post and didn't dare to move.
The middle-aged man turned around and got off the sentry post.
Although the sentry post was built high, it went down quickly. If he runs faster, he can go to the camp and inform everyone, and everyone should have a chance of winning if they resist the enemy at the same time.
He looked nervous, his feet were not chaotic, and as soon as he got off the sentry post, he saw arrows like locusts coming straight towards him.
Judging by the angle of the arrows, those people should have already come ashore.
At this point, there is no time.
He quickly pulled out the warning letter in his arms, and before it was shot through his throat by the cold arrow, he pulled it open and threw it into the sky.
Nanyi, it's the other way around.
