Seeing that this group of thieves was about to be wiped out, a cry of killing sounded again from the east side of the island. The dozens of water bandits who were alarmed that the situation was not good and gave up attacking the official ships finally followed Sun Tu. They rushed back to the island, and without hesitation launched an attack on the local soldiers who were much stronger than their own. The few guys who were still holding bows and arrows opened their bows again, killing more than a dozen feathers. The arrow shot towards the back of the village soldier.
This was really beyond Sun Tu's expectation. Some of the country soldiers who had their backs turned to the enemy were struck by arrows and fell down just as they were about to turn around to face the enemy. At the same time, the water bandits who were already trapped and about to lose their fighting spirit also perked up when they discovered that reinforcements had arrived. Some people shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Jiangzhou soldiers are about to be unable to resist." Come on, let me kill you!"
But as soon as he said these words, a steel knife was slashed from the side. The speed was so fast that he had no time to parry. He had just raised the weapon halfway, and the knife had already penetrated his neck, and followed him. With a scream before he died, Sun Tu kicked him away, and at the same time shouted: "Brother Lu, lead your men back to intercept, and let them know that our Jiangzhou soldiers are different from ordinary officers and soldiers! "
Ruda immediately agreed, and with the movement of the Zen staff in his hand, he forced two more enemies back, and then waved his hand: "Follow Sajia!" No matter how many people followed him, he turned around and faced the enemies behind him. Jump forward fiercely.
As the bowstring rang, several more sharp arrows were shot toward him with the sound of wind, but Luda only waved his Zen staff in front of him, and the more than 60 kilograms of iron-milled Zen staff had already hit all those who came near. All the arrows fell to the ground, but they didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
After taking advantage of him, the thirty or so soldiers who followed him didn't have to worry about the cold arrows being fired. They could just follow Ruda closely and attack the enemy. The two sides soon collided head-on, killing each other. At this time, Luda's courage in foot combat was also fully demonstrated. After he opened his Zen staff and fully displayed his sweeping, smashing, stabbing and other moves, the thieves had no ability to parry at all. As long as they were hit by a stick, His bones were broken and his tendons were broken, and he fell to the ground screaming. As for the soldiers who followed, all they had to do was take the opportunity to harvest the lives of these thieves.
After all the ten people in front were easily eliminated by Ruda, the remaining ten people finally felt fear. At this time, the water bandits who stayed behind were finally wiped out by Sun Tu's team. Even if there were any survivors, their weapons had been knocked off and they were knocked to the ground, unable to fight back.
Seeing that the situation was over, these thieves immediately turned around and ran towards the river behind them. They were still afraid, and at this time the only thought left was to escape. Seeing this, Luda even took big steps to chase after him. He was tall enough and his steps were big. In the blink of an eye, he knocked over three more people. The two people who were at the end could only grit their teeth after hearing this. He turned around and stabbed his chest with the knife.
But Ruda was well prepared. Without dodging or dodging, he just swung his Zen staff horizontally and forcefully. The two knives were broken by him and flew out. He took the opportunity to kick out the two knives. The thief, who had no intention of fighting anymore because the tiger's mouth was open, was kicked to the ground.
Just such a delay finally allowed the last three thieves to jump into the river. When Ruda and his men arrived there, they could not even see their shadows. Lu, who is not water-resistant
Seeing this, Da could only sigh bitterly: "These thieves can't run very fast!"
At this time, the fighting behind him had completely stopped. All the gangsters who had stayed on the island had been eliminated, and Sun Tu had also walked over with the steel knife stained with blood. Hearing Ruda's dissatisfaction, After his words, he comforted him: "Brother Lu, please calm down, but they are just a few fish that slipped through the net and cannot make any waves."
Ruda smiled, then turned around to look at the situation on the island, and said with some confusion: "So we wiped out all the thieves who were blown up to the sky? Is this what they are capable of?" The last point The question was not expressed. If this was the case, how incompetent were the Jiangzhou officers and soldiers who had been causing trouble on the Xunyang River for nearly a year
There was no joy on Sun Tu's face, but instead he frowned slightly: "Brother Lu, you also see that something is wrong here, right? There are only seventy or eighty thieves on this island, and there are not many powerful people. Why? Maybe it’s the ferocious dragon that has caused trouble in Jiangzhou for many years?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Feng hurried over with doubts on his face: "Tuanlian, brothers have searched the island, and except for these thieves who were annihilated and captured by us, there is no one else here. Moreover... the houses on the island are also empty. Not only do they have no weapons, they even have only enough food for a hundred people for three to five days. It doesn't look like a den of thieves at all."
Luda was stunned again when he heard this: "How could this be so?"
Sun Tu seemed quite calm: "As early as when we were entangled in fishing nets outside the island, I noticed that something was wrong here. If you think about it, this arrangement will not only trap my government ships here, but also It also hindered the water bandits' own actions, how could they cut off their own way out? The only explanation is that they were prepared and specially arranged this game to deal with our Jiangzhou officers and soldiers."
"You mean they had already expected that the government troops would come to destroy them, so they set up the trap here? How is this possible? How could they know the movements of the government troops?" Ruda suddenly changed his color and asked.
Sun Tu's face became more and more solemn: "This is the real key. This should be the reason why the ferocious dragons were able to run rampant in Jiangzhou and defeat the government troops many times. And now, since they have laid this plan, of course they can't just In order to trap our troops near this sandbank and island."
Having said this, Sun Tu's eyes have fallen back to the government and military warships surrounding the island. At this time, because there were no more attacks from the bandits, the originally chaotic officers and soldiers finally stabilized again. The flames on the ship had also been extinguished by them. There were still many people using swords to cut the fishing nets below, trying to get rid of them as soon as possible. Be free from this snare.
Further away, although the handsome ship is still stranded there, some people are already trying to move it. Maybe it won't take too long to get out of the trap.
Sun Tu's mood suddenly became tense at this moment, and he said decisively to a subordinate: "Use a torch to signal Lin Dujian and others, warning them that there will be an enemy attack, so be careful!"
These words made everyone stunned for a while, but these country soldiers had long been accustomed to obeying Sun Tu's orders. At this time, they agreed and waved the torches in their hands to send relevant signals to the handsome ship in the distance. .
At this time, Lin Henian on the handsome ship was directing his men to find ways to get out of trouble, while looking at the calmed battle situation on the island ahead with some emotion. Although he did not clearly see the battle that took place on the island due to darkness and distance. But now that he had completely calmed down, he knew that Sun Tu and his men had completely defeated the bandits on the ship and achieved the final victory.
This made Lin Doujian, who was the leader of this campaign, feel ashamed and uncomfortable. He never thought that today's battle would be won by Sun Tu and the local soldiers. Otherwise, I am afraid that the thousands of troops he led would really be here. The island was in complete ruin.
Just when he was sighing in his heart and not knowing how to accept this result, such an unexpected warning signal came from the island ahead. After understanding the meaning, Lin Henian was stunned: "The thief is not It has been wiped out, where are the enemies coming from? Could it be that..."
Suddenly, he remembered the big defeat in March, and he immediately became vigilant: "Come here, move all the archers and crossbowmen to the outside, ready to meet the enemy at any time." That day, he The main force of thieves once attacked their own fleet from behind, which led to the defeat in March. Is the other party going to repeat the same trick today
Soon after the entire army of the ship followed the order and mobilized all the bows and crossbows to the outside, a roar suddenly came from the originally quiet night, and then there was a bang, and the calm river surface lit up. There were clumps of fire, and dozens of small boats were coming down the river, launching an attack on the government and military ships that were still unable to move in front of the island.
"Set me an arrow!" At this time, Lin Henian's face was ashen. Looking at the hundreds of thieves who were constantly killing him, fire almost burst out of his eyes, and at the same time he was frightened. If Sun Tu hadn't warned them in time, these thieves would have sneaked up and made a surprise attack that would have caused the sergeants of this ship to be thrown into disarray.
But this time, the situation is different. Even though the number of ships was terrifying, he had already prepared, otherwise he would not have dared to ask for orders to lead troops to suppress the bandits again this time.
The troops on the handsome ship were all carefully selected by Lin Henian, with the intention of avenging his past humiliation, so even though he was a little panicked at this time, he did not lose his sense of proportion like his colleagues in the small boats in front. Moreover, the bows and crossbows in their hands are also unusual. They only have seven or eight dozen soft bows, but they are all strong bows and hard crossbows that kill two or three stones with one stone.
Just after the enemy rushed into the range of the crossbows, the crossbowmen fired arrows at the enemies without anyone giving orders.
The ones who arrived in the boat at this time were the elite of the fierce dragon group. All of them had blood-stained hands, and the ones who were the most brave and easy to kill were the ones who came. Even though they saw that the officers and soldiers were on guard at this time, they did not show any fear. Instead, they controlled the boat under them and rushed forward at a faster speed. After seeing the officers and soldiers firing arrows, these people did not take it seriously because they believed that the officers and soldiers' bows and arrows had a limited range and could not hurt them at all.
But the result that followed was far beyond their expectations. Before the bandits on the two ships could react defensively, a large number of arrows shot through the air and nailed all fifteen or sixteen people on the two ships. Killed on the river.
The two-leaf boat suddenly lost human control and immediately slowed down and blocked the path of the ships behind it. Several speedboats collided with each other, causing chaos in front of the officers and soldiers.
