"Quick, beloved, give us a command to beat the drums! Listening to the sound of killing on the island in the middle of the lake, I hope everything is still in time. ”

In a short time, the earth-shattering drums broke through the thick fog and rippled along with the waves on the surface of the lake, and soon the drums reached the island. It was like a thunderbolt in the night, breaking the silent night sky in an instant. The lights on the island in the middle of the lake were lit up, and countless boats around them shouted loudly.

The most surprising thing was the Jingxiang Sailor and his party who had just touched the island.

Xu Datong said angrily: "What's going on? Obviously everything is going well, why did we just get exposed on the island? ”

"Commander, could it be that Neiying has rebelled, and they have opened their pockets on the island, waiting for us to drill into it?"

"Impossible! It should be impossible to rebel. ”

"Commander, listen to the sound of drums coming from the lake, is there something wrong with the warship? Could it be that someone found out about our transfer? ”

"Hmph, such a thick fog, visibility is less than ten feet, we are all small boats, how can they find out? No matter what, since you have landed on the island, there is no turning back, follow me to kill it, sweep the enemy's lair, and capture the bandit leader, and everything will be fine! ”

This is a person who is not chaotic in the face of danger and has a unique vision, and he is worthy of being able to lead the Jingxiang Water Division.

Kill!

The shouts of killing started, adding three points of electric tension to the already chaotic scene.

On the warships around the island in the middle of the lake, the big boss Laiji is sending someone to find out the source of the drum, this sudden drum? Could it be that the sailors who surrounded us outside were plotting something?

But before the sound of the drums could be understood, he heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of his old nest island in the middle of the lake.

"Not good! Jingxiang Sailor used the drum as bait and sneaked into the island, hurry, hurry back to help! ”

"Big brother, this is impossible, our warships are not less than theirs, and every one of their big ships is being watched by us, how did they break through the defense line and kill the island?" The lieutenant next to him was puzzled.

Lai Ji said in a deep voice: "This fog has helped them...... No, even if it's foggy, they can't sneak into the island silently, and we've always set up a guard post. ”

Hiss......

"Who's on duty tonight?" Laiji suddenly had a terrible guess.

"Report, tonight is the second master on duty."

"Two masters? How is this possible? He's the patriarch who followed us to build the water village......"

Although it was hard to believe, he couldn't take care of it at this moment, most of the troops were on the ship, and the island was empty of guards. Although there is a camp portal, if there is really an internal response, then someone will definitely open the camp inside, and the home on the island will be in danger at that time......

"Hurry up!" At the sound of an order, the big boats of the water village around the island in the middle of the lake turned around and docked, and countless bandits gathered together and twisted into a rope and rushed towards the gate of the water village.

Xiao Rui, who was beating the drum, heard the shouting of killing, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, it seems that the commander of the Jingxiang Water Division is going to make a desperate bet?

Alas, it's only to blame that we came one step late, and the other party has already landed on the island.

"Beloved, lean on!"

Fang Er said excitedly: "Brother Xiao, are we also going to go to the island to fight?" Haha, that's great, the water war can't be opened, and now that they're all on the island, I can subdue both of them alone. ”

Xiao Rui patted the back of Fang Er's head, "What do you think?" Do you know how many masters are on the island in the middle of the lake, and you can withstand it when you rush up? Although the Jingxiang Water Division has a limited level of land warfare, it is also full of 20,000 horses, can you stop it? ”

"When it got closer, it was enough to spread the internal force all over the island in the middle of the lake, so I said: Xiao Rui came to help, and ordered the Jingxiang Water Division to withdraw its troops quickly, otherwise it will be punished as rebellion!"

Fang Er was puzzled: "Brother Xiao, aren't they already rebellious?" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "The court documents have not been issued yet, we need to persuade both sides, and I don't know if we can bluff the commander of the Jingxiang Water Division, if I don't work in the Water Division tomorrow, hehe, it will be difficult for us to interfere in the battle tonight." ”

At this moment, Xiao Rui can't help but sigh that manpower is sometimes poor.

Although he is famous all over the world, he is the top magnate in the Tang Dynasty, he wants money and money, and he wants soldiers, but in this foreign land and above the water, it seems that he can't affect anything, and it is all in the field that he is not good at.

Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, led his troops here, and the Jingxiang Naval Division quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the ship, otherwise he would be punished as a rebel!

Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, led his troops here, and the Jingxiang Naval Division quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the ship, otherwise he would be punished as a rebel!

……

A shout with echoes, like a huge wave in the sea, clearly smashed into everyone's ears, and both sides on the battlefield were stunned.

What's going on?

Didn't the imperial court send a messenger to exterminate us? Isn't the champion Hou from the imperial court? Why come here now and order the Jingxiang Water Division to withdraw its troops? The water bandits on the island in the middle of the lake are very puzzled.

Only the military advisor Lai Heng, who was sticking to the island, saw through everything, "I already knew that all this was the self-made initiative of the Jingxiang Water Division, presumably the champion Hou got the news and brought people to support us." ”

"Strategist, will there be fraud? The imperial court that led the team to encircle and suppress our imperial court sent Wei Zheng, but what about the father-in-law of the champion Hou, will they sing double reeds and deceive us into lax defense, so as to break through the island in the middle of the lake? Someone next to him said cautiously.

Lai Heng sneered: "Just our gang of water bandits? Can you stop the Tang Champion Hou? Do people really want to deal with you and me, and they still need to use strategies? We'd better pray that Master Hou is here to save us, otherwise, we really have no way out. Even if we can survive in the hands of Jingxiang Shui Shi today, the world is so big, there is no place for us. ”

On the side of Jingxiang Water Division, the commander Xu Datong frowned and said, "Champion Hou Xiaorui? How did he end up here? And by coincidence, arrived at this time? ”

"Commander, it is rumored that the champion Hou Xiaorui once passed by Dongting Lake and had a great friendship with the Lai brothers, and at this time he ordered us to withdraw our troops, apparently to rescue the Lai brothers. Shall we withdraw or not? ”

"Commander, champion Hou Xiaorui is famous all over the world, and he has never been defeated, or let's withdraw first......"

Xu Datong reprimanded: "What are you panicking about? What about Xiao Rui's fame all over the world? He's a cavalry commander, it's on the water, and we can still be afraid of him? This Jingxiang's warship is in our hands, what will he bring troops to help? If a warship had appeared on the water, we would have received the news a long time ago. Obviously he is lying to us, he is trying to scare us into withdrawing our troops tomorrow. ”

"You must know that Wei Zheng who we hold is his father-in-law, Wei Zheng knows our secret, and he must die. So we must not give Xiao Rui face, without the imperial court order, with the name of your champion Hou, you can't transfer my Jingxiang Water Master! Leave him alone and keep fighting. There is no turning back now, only by extinguishing the Dongting Water Bandits, and then killing Wei Zheng and destroying the mouth, can we have a way to live! ”

This is the decision of their upper echelons, the problem is that the 20,000 soldiers and horses don't know the specific inside story, and the Dongting Water Master is not monolithic. When many people heard Xiao Rui's name, they immediately stopped excitedly, the champion Hou came and ordered to stop the attack, so who do we listen to?

"Oh no, Commander, many soldiers have spontaneously listened to the orders of the Champion Hou and have begun to retreat, and we, our attack have to be suspended. The bandits have already begun to land for help......"

Xu Datong said angrily: "Damn! This general is the commander of the water division, why did they listen to Xiao Rui? Go, tell them that Xiao Rui outside is fake......"

"No, Commander, it's too chaotic to command at all!"

Someone next to him persuaded: "Commander, why don't you go back and have a look." The champion Hou is famous all over the world, and since he dares to bring people to help, he must be prepared. Haven't you always wondered where that drum beats come from? Now it seems that it should be the champion Hou Xiaorui's people. I can't say that they really have a strong sailor. ”

"No way, the river is blocked by us." Xu Datong didn't believe it.

The man advised, "Commander, have you forgotten? Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was stationed in Jiangbei, and most of our people who stayed in the camp were guarding against Li Daozong. Champion Hou Xiaorui is a strange person, it is not unusual for him to have the means to deploy troops, in case our warship is really taken by him, then even if we capture the island in the middle of the lake, we will not escape the responsibility! ”

Hiss......

Xu Datong was afraid, he remembered that Wei Zheng was still locked up in the cabin, if Xiao Rui really found Wei Zheng, I was afraid that tonight would be his death.

"Retreat, retreat! All back to the ship! ”

In Shuizhai, seeing that the enemy had withdrawn, his subordinates immediately reported to the military division Laiheng.

Lai Heng waved his hand, "Okay, worthy of Master Hou!" Come on, follow me to fight to win the traitor second master, Jingxiang Shui Shi can go, but betray the water village, and the second master who should cooperate with the outside to lead the wolf into the house must not let go! ”
