Song Mingyue

Chapter 53

The three fast boats, riding on the waves, came like flying, and surrounded the boat of Zhao Hao and others in the shape of a character.

The three boats were getting closer and closer. With the help of the bright lights on the boat, one could clearly see that the bow was low and the tail was high, the front was big and the back was small, and the floating boards on the left and right were shaped like crane wings, completely different from ordinary passenger boats or fishing boats.

Holy crap...it actually looks like the sea swan boats that have been popular since Tang Dynasty, what the hell are three warships here!
"Enemy attack, blow the horn to warn!" Zhao Hao suddenly shouted.

The boatmen on board also spotted the menacing enemy ship heading straight for this side, and there was a sudden chaos.

woohoo~
The desolate and distant sound of the horn suddenly sounded, stirring in the night sky, spreading to all directions, startling the fishing boats moored on the river that night to sail away.

With the merchant ships under the flags of Zhao, Wang, and Xie, the ordinary Yangtze River pirates would not dare to provoke them at all, and even if the warship was not a real sea-hull warship, where did the ordinary water pirates come from? ?
There is no other family except the Zheng Family Salt Gang that runs across the Yangtze River!

Just as the people on the merchant ship were in chaos, the three ships had gradually moved within four hundred steps. There were at least forty or fifty bandits with sharp knives on each of the sea-swan ships, and there were almost one hundred and fifty or sixty pirates on the three ships. , and there are no more than a hundred sailors and boatmen on the merchant ship, and only six to seventy people who can really fight.

There are powerful generals like Zhao Dian on the merchant ship, and the military strength of several generals accompanying the Wang family and Xie family is also around 70, not to mention that there is Wang Jue with a force of 71. If he is on land, even if he cannot win, he wants to retreat calmly. There is no problem at all, but now on the Yangtze River, it is extremely dangerous.

On the merchant ship, headed by Zhao Dian and Wang Jue, they are organizing men to draw bows and crossbows, preparing to meet the enemy's attack, and the enemy ship is also one step closer, and the foremost warship is within 350 steps.

"Brother Zhao, quickly take the third sister back into the cabin!" Wang Jue shouted anxiously when he saw Zhao Hao and Wang Xin were still leaning on the side of the boat and watching.

"Buy a small summoning talisman (will), consume 500 merit points..."

"The host obtains the summoned general Jiang Qin, with strength of 85, speed of 60, and agility of 75, which can be released to any position within a radius of 500 meters..."

"Buy a small summoning talisman (beast), consume 500 merit points, and the host will get 5 summoned beasts."

"The host obtains 5 summoned beast crocodiles, with attack power of 75, speed of 45, and agility of 45, which can release the beast at any position within a radius of 500 meters."

Although he didn't use the lucky charm, he was very lucky. The general he summoned not only had the upper limit of force, but also a well-known Jiangdong navy general in the Three Kingdoms.

The beasts summoned are also ferocious animals in the water, probably related to the terrain, and the beasts summoned by different terrains are different.Otherwise, if you summon a great white shark on land, you can only join the luxury package, and if you summon a Siberian tiger in the river, you can only swim to save your life.

The first sea swan boat has entered within [-] paces. The bandits on board are all covered with black cloth, and they are all dressed in black tight-fitting water tanks. They look like gangsters who have been criss-crossing the Yangtze River for a long time. Among them, there are more than ten people in the bow. Already raised the crossbow arrow high and aimed at the merchant ship of Zhao Hao and others.

giggle~
There was a sound of splintering wood, and the thieves on the ship, who had been waiting in full battle, suddenly turned their heads, and saw the mast of the warship suddenly toppled down.

Boom~
The huge mast smashed heavily on the deck, and two or three thieves were instantly smashed to pieces, and the ship was tilted up and down.

"Stop that white-robed thief, he cut off the mast!"

"How dare a thief, kill him!"

Among the chaotic thieves, there was a sharp-eyed man beside the mast of the warship, wearing a white robe and holding a long knife, struggling to hack at another mast.

More than a dozen thieves rushed forward with their knives, the man did not panic at all, but continued to chop the mast calmly.

Those thieves seemed to be crazy, they ran towards the white-robed man at a very high speed, and a dozen long knives slashed at him in unison.

when~
The man turned his head, the saber light cut half a circle in the air, protecting the front of his body, only heard the sound of metal and iron clanging loudly, and the group of thieves retreated repeatedly after being swept by the saber.

The white-robed general laughed, turned back and continued to raise his knife to meet the crumbling mast, and cut three times with all his strength, the slightly tilted mast collapsed again.

The swan boat, which had been tilted, finally couldn't hold on. With the mast falling down, it suddenly turned over and tilted into the water.But the white-robed general took advantage of this moment, raised his knife and jumped into the water.

Just when the warship in the front turned over and entered the water, there was an uproar on the sea otter on the left. From time to time, someone screamed loudly, and many people jumped into the water.

"Ah... my legs!"

"My God, what kind of monster is this!"

"Evil Jiao, it's an evil Jiao, hide quickly!"

Hearing the yelling on the boat, Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel contemptuous: "What evil dragon? It's a crocodile, uneducated..."

chi chi chi~
At this moment, there was a sound of piercing through the air, which was still so sharp in the river wind. Zhao Hao was so shocked that he was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed Wang Xin and hid under the side of the boat.

puff puff~
The sound of the arrowhead falling into the water reached Zhao Hao's ears, and only then did he feel that his whole body was drenched in sweat.

At this time, Zhao Dian had just jumped to the side of the two of them, and said calmly: "My lord, don't panic, the enemy ship is still 150 paces away, unless you are very good at shooting, it will be difficult to hurt."

While he was talking, the longbow in his hand was drawn to the full moon, aiming at the enemy ship.

Benedict~
Arrows shot out like shooting stars.

As soon as Zhao Hao poked his head out, he heard a scream from the opposite enemy ship, and then heard the sound of someone falling from the deck into the water.

I'll go... You just said that 150 steps can't hurt anyone, and then you shot one for me to show off?
woohoo~
The desolate horn sounded again in the night sky, but it came from the enemy ship on the opposite bank. The enemy ship, which was already within 150 steps of the merchant ship, suddenly turned its bow and fled in a panic.

Immediately afterwards, the swan boat that was occupied by the crocodile also turned around slowly.Only the enemy ship with the broken two-masted ship could never go back, and sank slowly in the water.

ho ho ho ~
There were cheers like landslides and ground cracks on the merchant ship.

Zhao Hao said loudly: "Uncle Ren retreats with one arrow, a true hero!"

But Zhao Dian was holding a compound bow of ox horns with five buckets of stone in his hand, staring at the river with dumbfounded eyes, and muttered to himself: "It's strange, who is secretly helping?"

……

Jiangbei, Luzhou City, Huang Wenhu Mansion.

Huang Wenhu is about fifty years old, with a ruddy complexion, an extremely healthy body, and piercing eyes.Although he often walks with an iron crutch, the iron crutch makes the masters of the underworld on Huainan West Road feel terrified.

The "lame tiger" Huang Wenhu is not only well-known in Luzhou City, but also in the entire Huainan Road.

He was born as a grain seller in his early years, and barely made a living, but after more than [-] years of hard work, he established a grain gang that unified the rice and grain trade on Huainan Road, with branches all over the entire Huainan West Road. It can be regarded as a model of diaosi's counterattack, and his heroic deeds are also talked about by many Huainan people.

At this moment, Huang Wenhu was receiving a guest from Jiangnan in the back hall.

This guest was as fat as a ball, and when he smiled, his eyes were squinted, like a Maitreya Buddha. It was Li Gang, the housekeeper of Jiangnan Zheng's Mansion.

"Zhao, Wang, and Xie's three houses, it's too childish to send three young children to discuss business with the old man. Even if Wang Tong, Xie Yun, and Xie Wen all come together, how can Zheng Gong be kind to me? Can you forget your roots? Please rest assured, the housekeeper, although the Huainan Grain Gang has no less than a million shi of grain in their hands, they will never sell a single grain to Jiangnan."

Butler Li made it very clear why he came here, and Huang Wenhu's voting attitude was also very clear, so it can be regarded as a happy conversation.

But the old housekeeper of the Huang Mansion hurried over in an untimely manner: "Old officials, the sons of the Zhao family, Xie family, and Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River are here to visit, and I invite the old officials to make a decision."

Huang Wenhu laughed: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come, anyway, he can be regarded as the son of the three mansions in the south of the Yangtze River. If he refuses the door, it is unreasonable after all. Just say that I am not in the mansion, and let Jin'er go to receive him." .”

"Here."

Seeing that the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion took the order to leave, Huang Wenhu raised his glass to drink with Li Gang again, talking and laughing happily, not paying attention to the visit of Zhao Hao and others.

I don't know how long it took, but Huang Wenhu and Li Gang had already drank three or four altars of 20-year-old daughter red. Huang Wenhu was originally a warrior, and his body was healthy and healthy.

Finally, Li Gang hiccupped and fell headlong on the table. Huang Wenhu had no choice but to ask his servants to help him back to the house, and he continued to drink by himself.

"Old officials, big things are bad, big things are bad!"

Just at the place where he was drinking, he saw the housekeeper came in panic, his face was full of mourning, like a concubine in mourning.
