Chapter 205: Ambush

After walking for two days, Bai Zhong and the others came to the edge of the Yangtze River.

The state of Chu prepared the boat by the river, and then there was no need to continue walking, and after boarding the boat, he sailed directly to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

A few days later, they came to the north of Qianzhong.

The ship sailed into the Xiangjiang River and quickly arrived at its destination.

Bai Zhong stood on the side of the boat and looked out, the land of Chu is really vast, from north to south, a large area, there are enough people to replenish the source of soldiers, and there is enough land to cultivate grain, the water system is dense, the water source is sufficient, unless there is a major drought and flood, food can basically be guaranteed.

"You're still adapting, aren't you?" Bai Zhong asked.

Ying Shu nodded, she could adapt to the climate in the south.

The two of them are okay, the five hundred elites, the deeper they go south, the more difficult it is to adapt to the climate, especially the boat is rocking, it is a little uncomfortable for a long time, and more than a dozen people are sick.

Fearing that it would cause an epidemic, Tsuizawa had to prepare some herbs and boil them on the ship for them to consume.

"It's almost now."

Bai Zhong said again, which can be regarded as a reminder to Ying Shu.

When the ship entered the territory of Qianzhong, the local Qu clan would not be indifferent, and this was the result for him and the Ying dignitaries.

Ying Shu nodded slightly, and has been holding the knife in her hand recently.

The current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's fine."

Bai Zhong understood her nervousness, and whispered in her ear, "Even if it's desperate, I'll take you out." ”

Yingshu responded: "If it's too dangerous, leave me alone!" ”

"For me, it's not much of a danger."

Bai Zhong smiled confidently.

At this moment, a Chu general came over and said: "General Bai, the front is Qianzhong County, but there are sailors in front to intercept it, and you need to show the king's documents before you can be released." ”

"Okay!"

Bai Zhong handed over the documents and official seals to this person.

After General Chu took it, he passed through the bridge wood, went to the other boats, and walked all the way to the front boat.

At this time, all the boats stopped, and it was convenient to put a plank on the other boat as long as they were close to each other.

Half an hour passed.

That Chu general came back, returned the paperwork and other things with both hands, and said, "It's okay!" ”

The ship continued its voyage to the south.

"What do you call this general?"

Bai Zhong asked casually.

This person was the general in charge of his ship, and he had known each other for several days, but he did not know the name of the other party.

"Zhong Lixi."

The other party said.

He's Zhong Lixian!

"It turned out to be General Zhongli!"

Bai Zhong met a historical celebrity again, I don't know if Zhong Liwei will follow Xiang Yu to oppose Qin in the future, these are also things in the future.

Zhong Liwei didn't say anything more, he didn't have much affection for Qin Guo in his heart, but there were some orders that he had to obey before he appeared on this ship, in his opinion, a desperate battle with Qin State was much better than the so-called peace.

In the evening.

Soon someone brought dinner.

"There are two days left, and you can get to Qiancheng."

Bai Zhong guessed the time.

Yingshu said: "So they will do it in these two days, um......"

She seemed to have found something, using chopsticks to open two pieces of meat, and a strip of cloth was hidden in it, and she didn't know how the people of the Black Ice Platform did it, the means were very hidden, which was unexpected.

When I opened the strip of cloth, there were only four words on it - ready to go.

"Ready to go."

Yingshu said.

Bai Zhong was not surprised, and said, "So within these two days, we will let them send the news back to the king, and they can prepare to send troops to the Chu State." ”

He didn't know how to send this news back to Xianyang, but he wrote the general content on the cloth strips and put it in these dishes, and the people from the Black Ice Platform would come to collect it and send it out through special channels.

Who are the two people who came with the Black Ice Terrace, he hasn't met yet, and these people who are agents are just amazing.

Tonight, nothing happened, and it was spent peacefully.

The ship continued to sail.

The next morning.

Bai Zhong walked outside and stretched, and then saw Zhong Liyuan coming over and said, "General Bai, you can get to Qiancheng tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Okay!"

Bai Zhong pretended to be completely unaware of the danger.

During this period, Jiang Ze also came over, saying that after arriving in Qiancheng, they would all leave, and everything in the city needed to be handled by Bai Zhong himself, including management.

"It's okay, just leave it to me."

From the very beginning, Bai Zhong never thought of taking over Qiancheng, and the Qu clan's people would not allow themselves to succeed in taking over.

After sending Qian Ze and the others away, Bai Zhong went to see the elites of the Qin army on the other ships, let them rest as much as possible, recuperate, and there would be action tonight, and also made a promise to them to bring as many people back as possible to boost morale.

They understand that this is a mortal situation, and they are ready to die, and it is of course best if they can escape.

Then, Bai Zhong returned to his boat and waited quietly.

Zhong Liwei and Qi Ze seemed to know something in advance, and they had already run away from anyone after nightfall, they thought they were doing something normal, but they couldn't escape Bai Zhong's observation.

Bai Zhong returned to the room, took the horizontal knife in his hand, wiped it briefly with a strip of cloth, and said, "Let's change the knife." ”

"Your knife is heavier."

Ying Shu took it in her hand and weighed it for a moment.

Bai Zhong said: "It's also sharper." ”

Ying Shu returned and said, "I don't need it, you need it even more." ”

Bai Zhong shook his head and said, "I have other weapons, you take them first." ”

After that, he threw Yingshu's knife into the Xiangjiang River.

"Why did you lose it!"

Ying Shu was in a hurry, and said, "I'll ask the soldier for another knife." ”

"It's too late."

Bai Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Do you hear if there is movement underwater?" I said, there are other weapons that do not require knives. ”

Ying Shu finally heard that in addition to the sound of the river slapping on the shore under the boat, there seemed to be the sound of people swimming in the water.

The enemy is really coming.

When they walked outside, they saw that the ships leading the way in front of them had long since lost their sight, and the ships in the rear, except for those taken by the Qin army, all the other Chu army ships could not see their shadows, and the few Chu soldiers and helmsmen who were still on the boat just now were also gone.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang under the ship.

Whoa......

The sound of the river rushing into the cabin rang out, and the boat they were in began to roll on its side, slowly sinking into the water.

"Do it!"

Bai Zhong let out a loud shout, turned around and walked towards the ships of the Qin army in the rear.

The two of them jumped to their feet and landed comfortably on a boat behind them.

At the same time, on the river bank closest to the ship, more than a thousand crossbowmen appeared from the darkness with torches, and crossbow arrows shot towards Bai Zhong's ship, and even bed crossbows, which violently broke into the cabin, killing more than a dozen Qin soldiers in an instant.

The enemy, who was digging the boat underwater, quickly retreated at this time.

A large number of Chu troops, as well as masters who specialized in dealing with Bai Zhong, appeared on both sides of the Xiang River.
