Chapter 432 Jiangnan Water Thieves
As soon as the head died, the remaining Song army was in chaos, and was frantically counterattacked by the black-clothed people, and the black-clothed leader was even more fierce, and every time the long knife in his hand was waved, a Song soldier fell to the ground.

The Song army's warship caught fire and the leader died, and it was already in chaos, and the opponent had more than 100 people, so it had an advantage in numbers. Seeing that he was unlucky, a small leader of the Song army hissed, "Who are you?"
At this time, the Song army had already been defeated, and the remaining ten or so people were huddled together, looking desperate, surrounded by men in black. The black-clothed leader looked at them coldly and said, "I am Hang Yingjie, the leader of the Jiangnan Jiaolong Gang, you can die blindly." ”
Without waiting for the little leader to ask, the man in black pressed up at the same time, hacked more than ten people to death, and sank the dead bodies into the river.
Along the Yangtze River, all the way to the west, you have to pass through the water surface of Qizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, where there is a Great Song Dynasty Navy and Jiangnan Jiangzhou Navy to patrol together. The two sides have always lived in peace, because Li Yu was weak, and the few warships of the Great Song Dynasty often crossed the center of the river to show off their might, and the Jiangnan Navy could only scold angrily, but they did not dare to challenge lightly.
The commander of the Qizhou Navy is named Jin Guobao, who was originally born as a water thief, and his subordinates are responsible for the security of the river with 3,000 sailors, and he is responsible for the entire Qizhou military together with the Qizhou guard Zhuo Yanfu.
On this day, the two had dinner together, Zhuo Yanfu said goodbye and went home first, Jin Guobao was idle, and took his own soldiers to the riverside to inspect. Because it is far away from Jinling, and the two sides have been peaceful, the Song army is very bored, so there are many soldiers fishing and recreation in the heart of the river, and the Jiangnan army has always dared not say much, just watched from afar.
At this time, the moon rises in the east, the sky is full of stars, the autumn breeze on the river is gradually rising, and the melodious flute sound is faintly heard in the distance.
Jiang Xin already had three patrol boats, each with ten soldiers on each boat, some were rolling dice, some were fishing, some were closing their eyes to recuperate, and some were grilling fish on the brazier, and weapons and hats were scattered on the board.
When the Jin Guobao ship approached, the three teams saw it and immediately gathered the soldiers to greet them. Jin Guobao drunkenly waved his hand and said, "How many fish did you catch today, do you have mine?"
One of the team members smiled and said, "Of course there is your old man." Immediately a soldier brought a fishing basket from the cabin with four or five fish, and sent it to the ship of the Golden National Treasure.
Jin Guobao scolded with a smile, and then asked, "Is there any movement in the south?" The other team was looking at the south with disdain, and said with a smile: "They are all turtles, and they don't dare to move in the south." ”
Song Jun laughed, and Jin Guobao said proudly: "With me here, Feng Yanqing, a turtle with a shrunken head, doesn't even dare to fight in front of him." ”
The three squads were complimenting one after another, praising the golden national treasure like a flower, seeing the moon in the middle of the sky, and ordered the rudder to turn back. As soon as they left, they saw another group of patrol boats coming to take over their shifts, and six small boats met in the middle of the river.
The patrol warships of the Jiangnan Navy have retreated at some point, and the south is silent, and under the moonlight, you can only see a vast reed bush on the river that appears and disappears from time to time, but the water vapor gradually grows, slowly spreading to the entire face.
Dozens of large ships suddenly rushed out from east to west on the vast river, and they rushed straight into the center of the river like arrows from the string under the cover of water and air.
The Song army was handing over, and a team member suddenly saw the shadow of the ship, and immediately pointed to the east and shouted: "No, there is an enemy." "The Song army was in chaos, and the soldiers turned back to get their weapons, and they were on full alert under the leadership of six teams.
A team member was standing at the bow of the boat and shouted, "Who's coming? Stop the boat immediately and check it." Hearing this, the boat slowed down, and a young man in white came out of the cabin and raised his hand in salute and said loudly: "Xue Ping, a merchant from Jiangzhou Silk Village, see the military master, we want to go to Shuzhou to buy goods, please raise your noble hand and let us go." ”
Hearing that it was a merchant ship, the team sneered: "Smuggling in the middle of the night, either rape or theft, stop the ship and let me check." The Song army's six-ship boat turned and pounced to the east when it boarded, and immediately crossed in front of the caravan.
The white-clothed young man smiled, bowed down and said, "Master Jun has worked hard, please raise your noble hands and let us go, naturally I am grateful." Then he waved his hand backwards, and immediately a man dressed in green clothes came over and handed a silver bag with a brocade thread to the team.
The team took it, shook it, and said with a smile: "You don't sail during the day, but you are traveling in the middle of the night, is there a spy hidden in the boat?"
The young man's face changed slightly, and he shook his head again and again: "In the next one, he has always followed the rules, he is just an ordinary businessman, how dare he hide spies privately?" The team shook their heads and said, "You don't count, I want to check it myself." With a wave of his hand, a boatload of soldiers came and jumped onto the young merchant ship with their spears in hand.
The young man couldn't stop it, and when he made a mistake at his feet, he immediately stopped at the hatch of the ship, and said loudly: "There are family members inside, don't be alarmed." ”
The Song army was suspicious, and sneered: "You dare to stop the military master, do you know what a big crime? As soon as he pushed the boy away, he opened the cabin.
The young man said coldly: "You are the Song Army, not the Jiangnan Army, why are you blocking our way?" Another team member laughed cruelly: "I want to stop it, why do you have so much nonsense, and then detain all of you." ”
The murderous intent appeared in the young man's eyes, and his eyes shrank slightly: "It's a lot of words, please let the military master let us go, and present it with his own thank-you gift." ”
A team member in the back laughed wildly: "It's about the same, seeing that you are not very old, but you are quite good at talking, as long as there are no spies on it, I will let you go." ”
Originally, the team was rushing to the cabin with ten soldiers, and just as he was about to open the hatch, he heard a soft sound inside, and more than a dozen spears suddenly appeared from behind the hatch, and the spears pierced through the wooden planks and pierced the team.
The Song army was caught off guard, and the team was pierced into hedgehogs without saying a word, and the hatch was opened, and a team of masked men in green clothes jumped out with bows and arrows in hand, and a round of fire immediately shot the ten Song soldiers on the ship like a sieve.
The rest of the Song army was shocked and shouted, "It's the opposite." The other five teams were immediately shouting, "Shoot them." ”
The Song army's small boats immediately retreated, and the Song army on the ship bent their bows and arrows, and just as they were about to release their arrows, they saw the dozens of merchant ships start again, quickly rushed forward, followed the reverse direction, and surrounded their five small boats.
Song Jun was shocked, and a team member said loudly: "Who are you?" The young man said with a cold gaze: "Put down your weapons and give you a whole corpse." "Hundreds of Tsing Yi people suddenly appeared on the merchant ship, each holding a bow and arrow at the five small boats.
Song Junjun's heart was in turmoil, and the other team member said with a pale face: "Are you the Southern Tang Water Army?" The young man said coldly: "Master repeatedly, put down your weapons and give you all the corpses." ”
Another Song soldier was angry and said: "How can I be afraid of you water thieves? There are 3,000 of us in Jiangbei, and if you kill our people, let you escape to the edge of the sky, the Great Song Dynasty will not let you go." ”
The young man looked at him in disgust, and with a slight wave of his right hand, arrows rained down when the merchant ship boarded, and the Song army was shot into a hedgehog before he could resist. The boy then ordered the ship to be burned, and the six small boats were blazing, attracting the attention of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei naval forces when they landed.
Jin Guobao was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by his own soldiers, saying that their patrol soldiers had been killed by water thieves. Jin Guobao was furious, and immediately ordered the naval army and dispatched more than a dozen warships to attack the center of the river.
When they pounced on the center of the river, they saw that the water thieves were fighting fiercely with the Jiangnan Navy Army, and the two sides were fighting hotly, the Navy was actually defeated by the Water Thieves, and was defeated and retreated, and a warship was beaten up and dragged back for rescue by the Jiangnan Navy Army.
Jin Guobao said angrily: "Where did these people come from?" A member of the side commanded: "Most of the water thieves in Jiangnan have been eliminated, and these people suddenly appeared, I don't know where they came from." ”
Seeing that the Southern Tang Navy was retreating, Jin Guobao immediately led the Navy to block the merchant ships, and the forward warships followed, and a battalion commander shouted and scolded: "Who are you?
The young man stood in front of him under the escort of dozens of masked men in Tsing Yi and said, "Master Xue Ping, the young gang leader of the Jiangnan Yanluo Gang, you blocked my way and extorted money, and his crime should be punished, so what if you kill him?"
Hearing that it was indeed a water thief, Jin Guobao calmed down for a moment, and scolded: "You are just running rampant in Jiangnan, you don't know how to provoke me, I want your life today." ”
Xue Ping said coldly: "It's not certain who wants who's life. Following the cold finger of the Jiangnan Navy who fled in defeat, he said: "What about the Jiangnan Navy fighting against the master? You are not the same? Give way immediately, the master will let you live, otherwise don't blame the master for being polite." ”
Jin Guobao was so angry that he smoked and shouted, "Kill them." The Song army agreed in unison, and immediately urged the warships to pounce.
The young man's right hand moved slightly, and the merchant ship immediately greeted him, followed by more people in Tsing Yi out of the ship, and the number was not inferior to that of the Jiangbei naval army.
A battalion commander said uneasily: "How can there be so many water thieves?" Another naval army general said: "I heard that Jiangnan cleaned up the water bandits, it will not be the remnants of the people who gather together to flee west, it is better to let them go." ”
Jin Guobao said angrily: "No, they killed my people, I want their lives." The generals were ordered not to talk nonsense, and immediately urged the warships to attack, and the warships on both sides quickly became a mess.
Although the Song army is a regular water army, its usual training is a bit of a formality, and at this time, against the Tsing Yi water thieves, he was immediately caught off guard.
Because the warship was approaching, it was inconvenient for the two sides to use bows and arrows, so the young man stood aside and said coldly: "Kill them all." The people in Tsing Yi shouted loudly, followed by hundreds of people who took out hooks and tied up the Song army warship, followed by countless Tsing Yi people with long knives and jumped on the Song army warship to catch and kill.
The Southern Tang Navy only dared to cheer for the Great Song Dynasty Navy by the riverside, where did they dare to approach. As soon as the Tsing Yi people and the Song soldiers first engaged, they had the upper hand when they landed, these people were all fearless of death, skilled in swordsmanship, and had a degree of advance and retreat, and they were by no means like ordinary water bandits and Jiang Ba.
How could the Song army have seen such a formation, more than 200 people on a ship of war were all killed, and even the battalion commander was captured alive, the young man immediately ordered to cut off his head and hang it on the bow of the ship, followed by his gaze, and said to a man in Tsing Yi beside him: "Take the gold national treasure." ”
