Lord of the House

(There are still two chapters tonight, this is the second chapter, ask for a red ticket!)

The fire in Ji'an County continued for a whole night without stopping. Not only Ji'an County, but also many local gentry and clans near the county town were raided by Kou soldiers.

The swordsmen and archers in Ji'an County and their hometowns were weak in fighting strength, and there was no unified command and dispatch. They were in a hurry to divide up the elites of the East China Sea bandits who should lead the way, and they were defeated and fled. The lake stretches along the shore. Just looking at this situation, I don't know how many Kou soldiers invaded Anji County.

Qin Zitan and Du Rong took advantage of the night to lead more than 100 elites and more than 100 soldiers from Shujiazhai to set off from Anji Shujiazhai to Taihu Lake in three boats, chasing after Lin Bing and his party who might retreat into Taihu Lake before them.

After dawn, the sky turned blue.

Qin Zitan rested in the cabin and dressed for a while. When he woke up, he saw the faint morning light coming in through the gaps in the boat. He thought it was almost dawn. He heard Du Rong and Shu Qingqiu talking outside the cabin and sat up Rubbing his face, he walked out of the cabin. Just as he was about to ask where the boat was, he heard a surprised cry from the man standing on the roof of the boat watching the night: "What is that over there?"

Qin Zitan looked over, and in front of him was a bend at the mouth of Meixi Lake. A long embankment branch stretched out in front of him, and in the past was Zhuxi. There were dense forests on the embankment. At this time, the sky was dim, and the forest looked blurry and thin like a paper-cut, green and gritty, but there were a few tree canopies sticking out abruptly from the back of the forest.

The sky was not bright enough, and at first glance those tall trees looked like faint shadows floating on the tops of the forest, and it was easy to ignore them.

Qin Zitan was shocked: where is the tall tree? It was obviously a mast disguised as a tree canopy. It was just across a dense forest, and they were looking up from an angle. If the canopy boatman hadn't discovered it in time, they might have been confused.

At this time, in Meixi Lake, only the two boats that Lin Fu rode on had such high masts, and Qin Zitan could use his toes to figure out who was ambushing in the bay behind the forest.

"The thief!" Du Rong also saw that it was the mast of a boat, and broke out in a cold sweat. They were going to go out of Taihu Lake to join Taihu Lake to rob and kill Lin Bie, but where did he want Lin Bie to set up an ambush at the mouth of Meixi Lake to intercept them. ?

Seeing that the mast behind the woods was withdrawn to disguise and raise the sails, Du Rong tried to test the wind direction.

Du Rong knew that the duplex schooner, the Dongyang, borrowed the speed of the wind. impossible. What's more, there was only one boat in front of Shuiwanzi, and they still didn't know if the other boat had gone wrong and blocked their way to Anji County.

There were 400 people accompanying Lin Fu on this trip to raise food. Du Rong tried to find out what the details were through the previous several raids: Lin Fu personally led the elite Jiyun Wuwei with more than 100 people, except that they were all from the disaster victims. The selected people, along with boatmen, sailors, and handymen, were divided into two ships, each with fifty elite soldiers and more than a hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

There are three paths in front of Du Rong, Qin Zitan, and Shu Qingqiu.

There are more than 250 people in their three elite ships, village soldiers and boatmen and oarsmen. Relying on the large number of people, they can forcibly rush through the mouth of Meixi Lake. As long as they can gain the upper wind, they can use the oar to ride against the wind, and they can move much faster than large sailboats, so they can take the initiative. But in a water battle, when the strength of the troops is similar, the advantages of warships will be very obvious. The boats on their side are crowded with small people, and a boat has 80 to 90 people. Only if they can successfully pick up the ship can they take advantage of the large number of people. If they are violently hit before they pick up the ship, there is a danger of overturning. Lin Fu has people who are proficient in water warfare, and Du Rong and Qin Zitan are not sure to rush through the narrow lake opening less than two hundred feet wide.

If you can't move forward, then retreat.

It's not enough to retreat, they retreat, the pursuit of the boat is a tailwind, the wind is not small, and they will catch up if they can't wait for them to retreat to Shujiazhai. Besides, there is another boat that is blocked. on their way home.

If you can't rush forward or retreat, you can only go ashore. The hull was large and the draft was deep, so it was impossible to get close to the shore. If you wanted to pursue it, you could only go ashore with an assault boat. As long as they go ashore, Du Rong and Qin Zitan are not afraid of Lin Fu chasing after him. They don't have the advantage of a warship. Although Lin Fu has 400 men under his command, his advantage is actually very limited.

"Abandon the ship and land?" Du Rong asked Qin Zitan.

"Will there be an ambush on the shore?" Qin Zitan asked, "We don't know where Lin Bie's other ship is hiding, but we always think that another ship can't hide on the shore. We are afraid of the advantage of the enemy ship. , Abandoning the ship and landing may be the only correct choice, how can we know if Lin Fu wants us to make such a choice?"

"..." Du Rong never thought that he would set up an ambush against Lin Fu at all. His heart was frustrated for a while, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.

"Rather than fleeing in a hurry, just prepare to attack. I, you, and the three people in the Shu family are divided into three ships. Even if they can't successfully catch up and fight, there is a good chance that the two ships can escape..." Qin Zi Tan said.

"Okay..." Du Rong didn't want the courage to be taken away by Shuzi Lin Bie. Even though there were a lot of people on their side, they scared Lin Bie with a boat and fled, which would be the laughing stock of others in the future.

Qin Zitan asked someone to bring him a pair of armor. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that he had no power to bind chickens. He wanted to learn from Lin Bing and lead the army. Du Rong didn't want to do anything else, and jumped on the other two boats with Shu Qingqiu.

*********

Seeing that the three enemy ships did not retreat or dock, but instead lowered their sails and oars to greet them, Lin Bie took off his saber from his waist and instructed left and right: "Get ready to fight!"

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the sky was getting brighter. Lin Fu could already see Du Rong's face clearly. He pointed at Du Rong with a knife, smiled and said to Ao Canghai who was beside him: "When I first entered Jiangning last winter, I met with Du Rong. People claim to be at odds with this son, and see if it is possible to bury his body in this lake today..."

The winding winches of the three-bow bed crossbows on both sides rattled, the giant iron arrows as thick as thorns shone with a cold light, and the bowmen also sat in an orderly manner and used their feet to stretch the crossbow and wind it up... …

When he saw the three-bow crossbow, the crouched crossbow, the longbow and the sharp arrows on the boat all pointing towards him, Du Rong suddenly understood that Qin Zitan had been tricked. Three ships, if Lin Bie could only intercept one ship, who else could it be besides him?

It was too late for Du Rong to understand at this time. Four giant iron arrows as thick as thorns shot three arrows into the air, creating waves on the left and right. I don't know how many people shot the giant arrow through...

In short, in the effective range of the three-bow crossbow, how thick the shield and armor are are decorations.

When he saw that Lin Fu had deployed the only four three-bow crossbows on the boat, Du Rong also understood, and Lin Fu also accurately expected that they would force a breakthrough. Lin Tie's combat power deployed in this ambush ship would be difficult to gnaw even if they could successfully pick up and fight, but Du Rong had no other choice than to fight to the death.

Qin Zitan and Shu Qing missed by two boats on both sides in the autumn equinox. After taking the upper wind, they did not turn the bow to raise the sails to join Du Rong to besiege Lin Bie, and continued to flee downstream.

Du Rong's spearhead had just been able to stab into the crest of the boat in front of the boat, and he had already been shot by Lin Bing's side in four rounds. The accompanying elites, soldiers from the Shu family, and ninety boatmen, except for those who were greedy for life and fear of death, were able to escape by diving into the water. There were less than forty people standing up, and they were met by a long stab that was more than ten feet long...

When more than a thousand East Sea pirates swept Anji County, Lin Fu even had the courage to set up an ambush at the mouth of Meixi Lake and wait for them to fall into the trap. Du Rong knew at that time that he had been defeated in a mess. When he reached the face behind the ship's side plank, he used two bamboo spears to force him to retreat from the left and right. One spear was used to stab him in the chest, and the elites of the She family who were planning to follow him to the death also shot down with the bamboo spears. Water, the sound of the bow opening and collapsing strings at close range is more like the sound of the harp. Du Rong's eyes are dark, and his consciousness is like slipping into the endless dark abyss and falling down.

Ao Canghai used hook spears to hook the drowning or wounded or dead enemies.

Most of the armor-piercers were elites from the luxury family. Ao Canghai had nothing to say to these people. Those who had leftovers made up a knife, stripped off the armor, and threw the corpses into the water again; only the soldiers of Shujiazhai survived. They made people take hemp ropes and tie them up and throw them in the bilge to lock them up.

Lin Fu didn't care what Ao Canghai did. He stood on the bow and looked into the distance. The other two ships had already fled far away. "Jiyunyi" was able to go fast by taking advantage of the wind. It was so huge that even if the long bamboo poles were long enough At the bottom of the lake, walking on the poles was very slow, and it was impossible to catch up with the two boats; I thought that Ge Cunxin, the master of the loach, led the "Jiyun Er" to ambush at the mouth of the river branch of Zhuxi, and it was probably difficult to keep them. Come down, after all, the powerful crossbows and crossbows are all concentrated on this ship~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Du Rong is still alive. "Ao Canghai walked over with a knife that was still dripping blood and said.

"You won't kill him?" Lin Fu looked at Ao Canghai in surprise, and said, "It's useless to keep him alive at this time, so let's imprison him first; just treat him as dead, maybe later. It's useful, but it's a hot potato at this time."

Can these small actions by the She family behind their backs really be hidden from the eyes of Li Zhuo and some big figures in the court?

Lin Fu knew in his heart that the situation in Hongzepu was uncertain, the East China Sea bandits were becoming a serious problem again, and the situation in the imperial court was already critical enough, especially after the elites from East Fujian were successively transferred to the northern front, most of the imperial court would not want the extra family to raise troops to rebel again.

At this time, it is a hot potato to catch Du Rong's living mouth. It is hot in the hand, and it is reluctant to throw it away. After thinking about it, Lin Fu thought about detaining Du Rongxian in secret, and it would be fine if he died.

In short, Lin Bie doesn't want to take out any secrets from Du Rong's mouth now.

The battlefield here has been cleaned, and Ge Cunxin, the loach master, came to meet from behind by "Jiyun Er".

The elite armored soldiers, as well as the bed crossbows, crossbows and other sharp weapons were mainly concentrated on the Lin Bing ship. The large Loach Master Ge Cunxin was mostly brave for the refugees who released weapons. Lin Bing also ordered that scorpion crossbows should not be used as much as possible. Although they intercepted the two ships that Qin Zitan and Shu Qingchun were riding on, and killed dozens of people, they did not achieve the record of wiping out a single ship.

The more than 1,000 elite Donghai bandits wandering in Anji County are their real threat and cannot be taken lightly.

"Go to Shujiazhai at this time, there will be no more ambushes!" Lin Fu said, waving his knife and pointing in the direction of Shujiazhai, "Let's go there!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
