The moon is hidden and the stars are sparse, and the water surface of the Yangtze River is particularly dark and quiet.

There was only the sound of the water rushing to the east, and the faint sound of fighting on the other side.

Sun Ning and his entourage of five people were crossing the Yangtze River again by boat, except for Sun Ning and Xiao Qian, the other three were controlling the sails, rocking the oars, and rowing the oars, so that the boat could go straight to the south bank quickly and steadily.

After they seized the city in Ruzhou, they stayed for some more time, until there were rebellions in the whole of Huainan, which caused the Liangzhou army and the Huaibei army stationed in it to fall into a state of exhaustion, and then they set off again, intending to return to Jiangnan.

In order to help defend the fundamental place of Ruzhou, Sun Ning directly left behind the dozens of elites he brought, and he and Xiao Qian only took the three soldiers who were best at boating back to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

In Sun Ning's original plan, he planned to quietly cross the river under the nose of the Liangzhou army, so he even prepared for the worst and fought a few battles with the enemy.

But as a result, when they were about to cross the river officially, they found that a large number of soldiers and horses guarding the north bank of the Yangtze River were actually retreating. Obviously, this is the Liangzhou army after learning that there was a rebellion in Huainan and their own back road was in danger, so they decisively chose to retreat, exchange space for time, seize the opportunity, and put down the Huainan rebellion first.

This made Sun Ning feel very excited, this is a good opportunity to completely establish the victory, so we must cross the river as soon as possible, pass this information over, and let the Jiangnan coalition army seize the opportunity to cross the river and break the enemy.

So at this time, he stared at the dark and wide river in front of him, and urged: "Hurry up......"

Several soldiers naturally agreed, and controlled the boat even harder to speed forward, and at this moment, Xiao Qian, who was standing side by side with him, suddenly frowned, tilted his head sideways, and said, "Sun Lang, what voice are you listening to over there?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Ning, who was concentrating his mind on the front and helping to observe the safety of the waterway, also listened carefully when he heard the words, and sure enough, he heard the movement of a ship breaking the waves forward.

This made his expression suddenly sober, and he quickly turned his head to look at the black river on the left, and saw that there was also a small boat faintly moving forward on the water, and the speed was faster than Sun Ning's boat.

"What a skillful boat technique...... Sun Ning first sighed, if the other party rows for himself, it should be able to shorten the time to cross the river a lot.

But then, this thought was covered by vigilance, in the middle of the night, there were still people who were in the same hurry to cross the river as themselves, what kind of road was it?

After a brief groan, he decisively ordered: "Lean over and stop them!" "Whether it's friend or foe, you can't go wrong to ask.

The soldiers hurriedly swung the sails, so that the boat suddenly turned, and crossed an arc on the water, and then turned into a downward trend, and the speed of the boat was also increased considerably, and it cut straight into the approach of the ship.

In fact, several people on the boat had already discovered the companions not far away, but they didn't have any more thoughts of causing trouble, until they saw that the other party actually turned their heads towards them, and the four or five people suddenly got up, each took out his weapon, and looked at the incoming ship vigilantly.

Their ability to operate the boat is certainly stronger than that of Sun Ning's soldiers from the southwest, but under the other party's downstream, it is not so realistic to avoid it in time and distance themselves.

Therefore, he could only turn the hull of the ship slightly to avoid it, and at the same time prepare for defense, and at this time, the distance between the two ships was no more than five or six feet.

"Who are you, and why did you cross the river in the middle of the night?" Sun Ning's words also came, and he looked like he was interrogated as a matter of course.

"Who are you?" The other party asked angrily, and in a flickering eye, the two of them had leaned towards the bow of the boat, and the other two were attached to the side of the boat, ready to enter the water at any time.

As people who make a living on the water and have rich experience in water warfare, it is too common for this kind of water encounter to become a fight, and some are coping strategies.

However, Sun Ning has as much combat experience, and when he saw this, he was even more sure that they were not ordinary fishermen and other people, and replied with a smile: "We are ordered to inspect the safety of the Yangtze River, if you don't tell your origins, I will take people......

The latter, as his wife, has so many years of cooperation and fighting, and naturally has a tacit understanding, and at this time he has stepped into the bow of the ship, and his feet are already ready to rise.

As he spoke, the distance between the two boats narrowed again, and in a blink of an eye, there were only two or three feet left......

"We crossed the river under military orders, and whose orders did you follow!" As he spoke, the hand on the side of his drooping leg suddenly swung and gave the command to attack.

The fact that he has been to Jiangbei must not be known by anyone, so the other party will inevitably be eliminated.

Just after his action was made, the man next to him suddenly raised the short crossbow in his hand and released an arrow directly at Sun Ning. And he himself, without saying a word, took off an arrow step, and rushed straight to the opposite boat, the person was in mid-air, and when he raised his hand, two thin rays of light had already whistled out.

The other two behind him moved even faster, and even in a moment, they had already entered the water and disappeared in a blink of an eye, only the last person stood firmly under the sail, controlling the boat from being capsized by this successive force.

The sudden movement of these four people stunned the three soldiers on Sun Ning's boat, who were only good at land warfare and only good at boating on the water. None of them expected to encounter such a sharp water combat master, and they couldn't even exclaim.

Fortunately, Sun Ning's reaction was faster than all of them, and he had already made a move before the other party broke out.

At the same time as the other party waved his hand, he didn't say hello, the person had already swept away, and the blood wave had also been slashed out of the sheath diagonally, and the target was the person who was talking.

Although there is still a considerable distance between the two ships, he believes that with his own body and sword strength, he will definitely be able to hit the target in the end.

As a result, the other people swept up, and the sharp arrows had already been whirled, and behind this cold arrow, there were two other short sleeve arrows, and a fierce-looking man. There is already a short thorn in his hand, and he pounces on it properly, and his fighting style is very fierce.

Sun Ning in mid-air hurriedly changed his moves, the blood wave sank slightly, and the blade met the attacking crossbow arrows, and with a ding, it had already knocked it back and collided, just hitting the two sleeve arrows in the back, causing the three to fall down at the same time.

This ingenious knife made the guy who pounced on him suddenly feel a shock in his heart, knowing that he had met a master.

But his body had already tried his best to fly out, and there was no time to change at this time, so he could only stab with all his strength and attack Sun Ning's waist urgently, and the two also officially met each other in close quarters, facing each other.

……
