The fleet passed all the way through the Yangtze River in Jiangzhou, until it approached the boundary of Xuanzhou, and it was already six minutes before the sub-hour. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The speed of the boat at night is limited, and the speed of the seat boat is not very fast.

In the middle of the night, the disciples of the vigil tour were already a little tired, and in order to cope with this situation, they took turns every hour until dawn.

Pei Gang was not tired at all, and in the second half of the night, he made the fleet square and surrounded the flagship in the middle, so that it was enough to deal with the surprise attacks coming from all directions.

However, the disadvantage is that if there are large ships to pass ahead, the formation will be destroyed immediately, otherwise there is a risk of collision.

"The art of war is cloudy, surprise, we are already almost through the territory of Jiangzhou, if the other party wants to raid, this time is the most suitable, but how can the other party attack?"

Pei Gang's concerns are not unreasonable, especially at this time, he must be even more cautious.

As Pei Gang was worried, directly in front of their sailing direction, there was actually a fleet of ships rushing overnight, about seven or eight ships, led by a large cargo ship, looking at the draft, it should be fully loaded.

The cargo ship at the head was also lit with lights on the bow of the ship, signaling the passing ships to avoid, followed by a few smaller ships, also following behind the larger ship.

Seeing this situation, Pei Gang couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly asked the boatman to send a signal to avoid the ship in front of him, and at the same time be on guard against a possible surprise attack at any time.

Several steamers separated, and the disciples and shipwrights on the ship were also tense, and in the face of the incoming ships, they did not relax their vigilance at all, if the other party had half an attack intention, I am afraid that it would immediately provoke a frantic counterattack by the steamship fleet.

The fleets of the two sides probably met for less than a moment, during which they could even see the tired shipwrights on the other side's ship, but this tense situation did not evolve into a final battle.

The other party is just an ordinary caravan, and the goods transported are probably also grain, and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in rice, so there are often fleets that dump grain to sell in areas that are not production areas.

Speculation is also a type of business operation.

Until the opponent's fleet walked away, Pei just put his mind at ease, and he ordered someone to carefully observe the surroundings of the fleet to see if there was anything suspicious on board.

After some inspections on several boats, a safety signal was issued.

Pei Gang himself was also around the deck, and after checking the river with the help of the headlights, and after making sure that no one was following, he ordered the fleet to keep moving according to the previous formation.

However, he overlooked one thing, if the other party was really called a "water ghost", he must be extremely proficient in water, and when several ships were in a hurry to find suspicious people, they could completely sink under the water, wait for the inspection to be completed, and then follow the fleet.

It was in this way that twenty or so bare-striped Xiaoxiao, sinking below the surface of the water, using hooks and claws and the like, hooked the bottom of the ship, and moved with the ship.

These are dead men who are not afraid of life and death, and they don't care how many they are, they just need to do enough damage to this fleet.

Among the dead men was a bald-headed one-eyed man, carrying a scythe with chains, who looked like the leader of the men, and who also marched with the fleet of ships.

Pei Gang didn't find these people, if it was in ordinary times, such as a familiar environment like a bamboo forest, any wind and grass would not be able to hide from his eyes.

However, the other party was very clever to avoid the flagship, and with the cover of the fluctuation of the river, he followed the fleet almost without leaving a trace.

The fleet had been marching for more than two hours, until four o'clock, and had entered the territory of Xuanzhou for almost two hours, but there was no movement along the way, and there was no attack.

"It'll be dawn in another hour, it seems that there will be no movement tonight!" Although Pei Gang thought so, he was still a little weak in his heart, and he escaped quietly all the way, and the quiet was even a little abnormal.

The time is when people are most tired, and no matter what kind of rest a person has done during the day, he will inevitably be a little tired at this time.

And those who are asleep are also the deepest sleepers at this moment, and few people can stay awake at this time.

If you want to raid, this is the best time.

Pei Gang's nerves tensed again, and he hurriedly ordered the boatmen to send a signal to urge the ships to change shifts again at this moment.

After waiting a little, only two ships responded to the signal on Pei Gang's flagship, and the two ships behind the flagship did not reply to the message for a long time.

Pei Gang hurriedly rushed to the rear deck of the ship and looked at the two ships behind, but what worried him really happened.

The "water ghosts" who sank under the river and only went up to the river for ventilation only a few times secretly pasted the walls of the two ships behind them at this critical time.

On their hands and feet, they carry a special hook that can cling to the smooth wall of the ship without falling, and then climb up from the wall with a very light movement.

The disciples who kept vigil were already extremely tired, and they couldn't find the enemy hiding in the shadows and constantly climbing up.

Almost at the same time, from the walls of the ships on both sides, six or seven "water ghosts" jumped up and used their hooks to pull the unresponsive night vigil disciples and boatmen into the water, and then the "water ghosts" in the water quickly stepped forward and killed them without mercy.

In just a few moments, several capable disciples and shipwrights on the deck were killed, which was something these disciples did not expect, if it was normal, I am afraid that these "water ghosts" would not be given such an easy chance to sneak attack.

But there was also an accident, the vigil disciple on one of the boats, who was in good spirits, pulled the alarm bell indicating that there was an enemy attack at the moment before he was pulled into the water.

So for a while, the bell on the ship rang loudly, and all the sleeping disciples on the ship woke up almost at the same time.

A big war is inevitable.

When Pei Gang saw the situation behind, he immediately made a decision and ordered the flagship to slow down, and he wanted to personally meet the "water ghost" who came from Jiangzhou.

He was a little excited, he had been in a state of nervousness, but at the moment he had a channel to vent, and naturally wanted to vent the unhappiness in his heart.

No matter what kind of enemy comes, the time has come for the Yunmeng Tang Sect to establish its authority in the enemy realm, and it is also the time for everyone to emerge, before Dragon City, to cut down the enemy chieftain, there is nothing more exciting than this.

"Order everyone, meet the battle immediately, the enemy has already come!"

Pei Gang took out the glaive wheel and faced the upcoming battle.
