Chapter 417: There are officers and soldiers in front and there are obstacles in the back

Ning Wuxian stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin Shi, is there anyone missing?" ”

After chasing out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baichuan and Qin Shibing pursued the departing Wa State in two ways.

The group of people tracked by Baichuan went to the vicinity of the mansion, and the rest of the group were the Japanese people who infiltrated from Xuanwu Lake according to Ning Wuxian's plan.

However, due to Qin Shi's solo tracking, and there were many waterways in Xuanwu Lake, he was thinking about how to report the situation to Ning Wuxian and them all the way.

Unexpectedly, Ning Wuxian arrived here earlier than himself.

Qin Shi admired Ning Wuxian's clever calculations, and replied in a low voice: "Please rest assured, Mr. Ning, I have been keeping an eye on their numbers, and none of them have fallen behind or left early, along with the silver they have defrauded, all of them are soaked in the moat." ”

With Qin Shi's words, Ning Wuxian's heart was settled.

No matter what the situation of eradicating the Japanese fine work in the city, at least, this group of backbones of the Japanese fine work can be fed to the fish tonight.

"General Yu Shou, the number of people and the number of silver escorted by the Japanese State have not been omitted since Xuanwu Lake, and when they show their heads, they can open the bow."

Yu Zhengrong nodded calmly and gestured to his deputy.

All the officers and men immediately quietly drew the bowstrings, and the officers and men in charge of feeding the fire placed the oil barrel in front of the archer, holding the fire fold in one hand and the cap in the other.

Just wait for the order to be given, and then launch a fire attack.

And on the water, with the waves surging from the city, in the faint moonlight, reflecting a little bit of oil.

It is a fire oil that is poured on the water in advance, so that when the rocket is fired, it will cause the comer to be confused by the burning of the water surface, and reduce the casualties of your own side during the dogfight.

Just as everyone was gathering momentum, the waves of water from the city gradually increased.

After Ning Wuxian listened to it, he hurriedly took two steps back, and the vertical knife was protected in front of Ning Wuxian's body.

"Fifth brother, the widows are here."

It's finally here!

Ning Wuxian was not only itching in his heart, but also being bitten by autumn mosquitoes all over his body, and when he heard the sound of water, he couldn't wait to prepare to go into battle with his own hands and kill a few widows.

At this time, the pathfinder in the moat had already swam past the city walls.

It was about to dawn, it was the darkest hour, and the two of them were in the water, and they couldn't see the situation a hundred steps away, so they could only rely on the movements they heard with their ears to judge the safety above the water.

"Nobody."

"Return."

The two were in the water, about to turn their heads and dive.

Suddenly, an oily smell rushed into the nostrils.

What does it taste like?

Although the two of them felt a little strange, they turned their heads and saw Kono following behind, they knew that this should be the moment when the soldiers defending the city were slack, and they could not miss the opportunity, and they could not let everyone retreat because of the slightest strange smell in the water.

The eldest of the two pointed to the back and let the younger one return first.

He was going to sneak forward for a while to find out what the cause of the anomaly was.

Whoa......

The moat is not like the wide Xuanwu Lake, and it can't make any waves when it sneaks into many people and pulls the boxes with silver taels.

Whenever someone moves around, it makes a sound.

In order to prevent the defenders from discovering the city, the elderly could not stay on the surface of the water any longer, so they could only dive into the water to move forward.

But when he dived less than ten meters forward, a sense of crisis arose, and before he could understand what was going on.

Sou!

He looked up at the sound and saw a flash of fire in the darkness speeding in his direction, reflecting the soldiers covered in cold light and iron armor around him, causing him to pour a mouthful of cold moat water.

Aggressive!

The arrow fell, and the elder was hit by an arrow in each shoulder, and the pain caused him to struggle to kick his legs backwards while shouting backwards.

"There's an ambush!"

The roar of the elders was heard far and wide through the sound of water.

In fact, there is no need for him to speak, the fire in the sky, and the little moat, have already made the Japanese people who came later understand that they were ambushed.

"Stand back!"

"All backwards!"

Seeing the light of the fire on the water, Kono immediately made a decision and ordered in the Japanese language.

"Put down the box and back off!"

Originally, these people who were responsible for transporting the boxes were exhausted all the way.

At this time, if they carried the box back again, it would not only be a dead end, but also expose the fact that they were carrying the silver with them.

Sink the box into the moat, and maybe you can come back and get it again.

Thinking so, Kono gave the order.

But Iwasa Saburo saw that under the light of the fire on the water, hundreds of officers and soldiers were waiting for him, and he immediately panicked.

"You can't put down the box, leave it to the Daxing people in vain!"

Damn the people of Daxing, they actually knew their escape route!

There must have been a traitor who told the people of Daxing that throwing down the box at this time is equivalent to giving away the silver to others.

"Iwasa-kun, the most important thing for us now is to save our lives, the exit of this moat can only accommodate one box to pass through, if we don't give up the box, even people with money will be explained here!"

Kono was throwing and shouting in the water, and when he saw Iwasaburo looking angry and wanted to refute, he saw a flying arrow out of the corner of his eye, and he gave Iwasa Saburo a kick from under the water.

Duh!

The arrow hit the back of Iwasaburo's head.

Iwasa Saburo couldn't believe that he would die at the hands of his own people, and he was still struggling to say something, but his body was powerless, so he could only slowly spit out blisters and float with the water waves.

"Iwasa-kun was shot by the arrows of the Daxing people, everyone obeyed my orders, retreated, and ambushed outside the city, as long as we returned to the city, we could break out, or capture the Daxing people as hostages!"

At such a critical moment, Kono's seizure of power did not arouse everyone's opposition.

After all, although Iwasa Saburo is in charge of the entire Jiangnan Province stronghold, Kono is their top official.

Coupled with the fact that Iwasa Saburo regards money as his life and wants to increase the danger for them, they want Iwasa Saburo to shut up.

At this time, Kono was in power, and everyone unloaded their burdens, and before they had time to make marks, they went into battle lightly, dodging the rockets behind them, and swam towards the river leading to the city.

"Let's make it!"

"Don't squeeze!"

The Japanese scrambled into the passage.

In order to protect himself, Kono waited until a dozen people had entered the passage before swimming into the city.

However.

As soon as he arrived in the city, he saw a brighter light under the water than outside the city.

Torch!

It's all torches!

In addition, the light on the torch also intercepted a large net of wire and fishing nets at a place ten zhang away from the river.

Seeing this large net, Kono hurriedly raised his head out of the water, and at the same time motioned to the subordinates behind him who wanted to squeeze in to stop.

He stared blankly at the dozens of people standing on the river bank holding eighteen kinds of weapons, all dressed in the chivalrous spirit of the rivers and lakes, and his face showed a miserable smile.

"There are officers and soldiers in front of the roadblock, there is no movement when I come, and when I come back, I have temporarily arranged so many, Daxing people are really a good means, this is a good way to calculate that we will pass through here, and two traps are specially arranged, waiting for us to jump in."

"Chief, what do we do now?"

The subordinates who swam back first immediately panicked when they saw the big net blocking the road.

Are they going to die tonight in the moat of Jinling?
