"Situation? What's the situation? The three of them were stunned for a moment, then startled, and hurriedly stood up and walked towards the guardrail of the ship, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sir, look", the soldier swept the river with a small strong searchlight mounted on the guardrail, Ma Han and the others gasped, wiping your uncle's, only to see a few large ships not far from dozens of small boats around the perimeter, each boat has five or six people with weapons, covering their eyes with their hands and looking at this side with a puzzled expression.

Of course, these are small scenes, which naturally will not surprise Ma Han and others, what surprises them is that there are countless ships densely packed beyond the farther away of these dozens of small boats, and there are several big ships among them, and what is even more terrifying is that so many boats, so many people, did not make a single sound, can you not be mad in the middle of the night?

"Water thieves? When did you set your sights on us? Ma Han turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Xie Xinghua and suddenly realized, the two nodded at the same time, there is only one possibility, that is, when Zhenjiang Wharf was targeted, it was only at that time that they were targeted, and they only chased after it now, otherwise with the speed of the Lu family, they would not have a chance to catch up! Thinking of this, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat, and felt that the beating just now was really not in vain!

"What to do? There are so many people, there must be hundreds, if not thousands, of them? These people are sick, so many people came to rob, what is our family? The grain ship still carries silver! Zhao Mingyang scolded.

"Hello", Xie Xinghua bit his lip, "Ring the assembly bell!" ”

Ding-ding, the sound of bells pierced the quiet canal, and the soldiers hurriedly came out of their tents, and before they could line up, they heard their commander shouting an order, "All men immediately fully equipped for battle"!

Preparing for war? Could it be that ......, the soldier didn't have time to think about it, and just ran out of the tent and hurriedly went in to copy the guys!

"Searchlights, all turned on, concentrate in four directions, all the crossbow archers are ready, and the water thieves will shoot immediately as long as they are close to a hundred steps!" Xie Xinghua issued orders in an orderly manner.

Zhao Mingyang on the side looked at Lu Wang's tent and gritted his teeth, "The pro-guard team left ten young masters to protect them, four members of the team got on the motorboat to support on the periphery, and the rest of the people went to the side of the boat to cooperate with the angry archers to guard against it!"

"Damn, I'm going to see blood, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it, I like it, I like it!" Mahan lay on the side of the ship, opened the 47 safety in his hand, and looked at the water thief in the distance with an excited expression.

"Are you sure it's Yunguan Yin?" There were several swarthy men standing on the bow of a big ship nearly 100 meters away from Luwang, one of them spoke, and one of his subordinates immediately nodded, "Big brother, you can't be wrong, we inquired, this ship is from Hangzhou, we followed all the way from Wujiang, but I didn't expect this boat to be extremely fast, we had to change the dry road and use fast horses to pass the news all the way, and it happened to meet at Zhenjiang Wharf!" ”

"How can you be sure that this ship is carrying tax silver from Hangzhou this year?" Dahan continued to ask!

"First, Hangzhou will send a ship, the second ship will be guarded, third, this should be a new type of ship, only the government has the strength to cast, and fourth, the news we got before is that the ship transporting tax silver will come over in the next few days!" Ma Zai is obviously a veteran and explained one by one, and the big man finally nodded!

"Haha, I deserve to be rich this year! Since I'm driving it, let's eat it all in one bite, looking at the formation, there are millions of taels of silver, which is enough for us to eat and drink for a few years! ”

"Big brother, but I don't seem to be very good at handling these officers and soldiers, and I always think they are very strange!" A man beside Lang Lifei frowned and said!

"What's wrong, Jilong? What's the difference? Is it because the ship is faster, or is the lantern a little brighter, or something else? Lang Lifei laughed disdainfully!

"Yes, I've never seen such a fast ship when I'm so old, and big brother, have you noticed it, don't you think it's strange that their lanterns can be so bright and shine so far?" The more Ji Long talked, the more he felt that there was fraud in it!

"What's the hurry, it's not that I've been caught up, what about the brightness, I haven't heard that lanterns can kill people, I have nearly a thousand brothers and can't eat less than 300 officers and soldiers, then I won't mix in the Wangyu River in the future"! After Lang Lifei finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the subordinates just now, "Earth dog, are you sure that the other party only has more than three hundred people?" ”

"Sure! When it was just dark, they docked at Zhenjiang Wharf, and there would definitely be no more than three hundred and fifty people, big brother, I can pack tickets! ”

"You have a P for packing tickets", the waves flew and whispered, then shut up, staring at the dazzling light in the distance, and the fierce color flashed in his eyes, "Order your brothers, fight quickly, and do it immediately!" ”

"Wait!" Ji Long on the side stretched out his hand to stop the waves, "Big brother, for the sake of safety, I think it's better to test it first!"

"What's the matter, it's just four boats, and now it's surrounded by us, and it's still being used to tempt, and it's hard to eat it directly, and it's hard work", Flying in the waves didn't think so!

"Big brother!" Ji Long grabbed Lang Lifei's hand and shook it vigorously, "Okay, good, temptation, how do you say temptation?" ”

"They moved", Xie Xinghua said softly a little nervously, Zhao Mingyang next to him turned his head when he heard the words, and sure enough, after a few gongs, more than a dozen boats on the river began to approach this side slowly.

"Extinguish the other lamps on the ship except for the searchlights immediately", Zhao Mingyang immediately ordered, and then used this pair of walkie-talkies to call the two motorboats on the periphery, "Harvest, harvest, go back to the big ship immediately, go back to the big ship immediately", he was worried that it would be dangerous for so many people to outflank the motorboat, so he decided to give up the tactics just now, or use the young master's set, no matter how much he comes, the firepower suppression is!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a few light sounds, the other party actually made the first move, this is with a bow and arrow, the purpose is to extinguish the searchlight, but unfortunately the distance is a little far, and the accuracy is a little poor.

"Oh, Magbi's, you still have the first opportunity, call me!" Mahan roared, bang, bang, pulled the trigger, and immediately put it on four or five people, causing the other party to be frightened!

"Well, why don't you do it?" , Ma Han turned his head to show off while being happy, but found that Zhao Mingyang and Xie Xinghua were watching each other's actions intently, no one paid attention to him and no one moved, even a few crossbowmen next to him did not attack!

Because these people have a long memory, they only obey the orders of their own commanders, and now Mahan is a fart, a personal guard! Of course, Ma Han reacted quickly, his face turned red, fortunately it was dark, and no one paid attention to him, "Brother Ma, you forgot how the young master explained, save bullets!" Zhao Mingyang looked at Ma Han and said, Ma Han nodded, "Okay!" Listen to you! ”

"Muskets, these officers and soldiers actually have muskets!" Ji Long watched a few fires in Shandong, and several brothers plunged into the water, which surprised him, aren't the officers and soldiers with muskets all in the border cities or in Henan to suppress bandits, and I have never heard that the officers and soldiers who escort tax silver are equipped with muskets!

"What if you have a musket, after a shot, it's a piece of scrap metal", Lang Lifei was very disdainful, his eyes were fixed on the front, but his face slowly became difficult to look at, because the officers and soldiers began to attack!

Yes, under Xie Xinghua's order, the pioneer of the water thieves who were originally close to him had just entered the firing range, and the three hundred Huaxia Army only shot an arrow in the first wave, and each of them killed more than a dozen ships and nearly a hundred people, and each of them did not match one, and there were lucky water thieves who even had five or six arrows in their bodies!

"Huh, what's going on?" Ji Long and Lang Lifei, who were standing on the bow of the big ship, were surprised and puzzled, their own vanguard was still some distance away from the big ship, and ordinary bows and arrows should not be able to attack, even if it belonged to the attack range, the lethality could not be so great, and what was even more terrifying was that it was only for a moment, after a short scream, only more than ten empty boats were left on the water to swing in the water, and none of them were alive!

This is still not fatal, the worst thing is that the other party's ship is so dark that you can't see anything, and you don't even know what weapons you use, and nearly 100 of your brothers died in such a daze! What the hell, if you want to say that the other party is using a musket, there is no gunshot, let's use a bow and arrow, and I haven't seen an arrow!

"Big brother, there is fraud here, let's withdraw quickly, and wait until dawn!" Ji Long saw that something was wrong, but at this moment, he couldn't listen to the waves that were already burning with anger, "Withdraw? My nearly 100 brothers are gone without saying a word, you let me withdraw! Earth dog, order, the whole army attacked, and those officers and soldiers were torn up and fed to me! ”
