"Yang Zhi, if you block the enemy, it won't be your turn! I'll do it! I'm good at water, so I'll run away in the water at worst!"
Ruan Xiaoqi also spoke immediately. Qinbei Pavilion
As soon as Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi spoke, everyone looked over. They were the first to follow Sun Lei, and what they said was very weighty.
"Brother asked me to protect everyone, this is my responsibility!"
Yang Zhi looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi and said, he failed to send the Hua Shi Gang once and failed to send the Birthday Gang once. He would never allow himself to fail a third time.
"Zhi Yang, my brother asked you to protect everyone, but he didn't ask you to die?"
Fei Bao also said that although Yang Zhi's idea was heroic and courageous, he didn't like this kind of sacrifice, and he believed Sun Lei didn't like it either.
Yang Zhi looked at everyone for a long time and was silent for a long time. Finally he sighed.
"As I said just now, brothers go first, I will hold off the enemy for a while, and then I will arrive!"
Yang Zhi said again, but this time there was a lot more confidence in his words besides determination.
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Yang Zhi without saying anything.
"If you want to stop the enemy, you can't leave just one person behind."
Ruan Xiaowu looked at Yang Zhi and said, after all, one person is weak, but it is better for me to have more people to help me.
"I'll stay, I'm good at water!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"I'll stay too, I'm pretty good at water too!"
Ni Yun and Bu Qing spoke.
"We'll stay too. Our archery skills are passable, and it would be more advantageous to stop the enemy on board."
Lei Jiong and Ji Ji also said at the same time that they learned archery from Pang Wanchun. Although they were not as good as Pang Wanchun's magic arrows, they were still enough to stop the enemy.
"Okay, five brothers, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji, will stay with me to stop the enemy. Ruan Xiaowu, Fei Bao, and Ni Yun will lead the fleet first!"
Seeing the loyalty of everyone, Yang Zhi was moved and said, in the first two times he carried the Flower Shi Gang and the Birthday Gang, he had always done it alone, and there were few of his men who sincerely helped each other, but now there are so many good brothers who risk their lives to help, It's hard to imagine.
The fleet left along the winding river. Yang Zhi and others stood on a sampan boat and watched the officers and soldiers coming.
"The thief is right ahead, kill him!"
When the officers and soldiers saw that there were only a few people in one boat, they laughed and rowed over to kill them.
"Get into the water!"
Ruan Xiaoqi shouted, then jumped into the water with a dagger in his mouth and a crocodile claw hanging on his waist. Ni Yun and Bu Qing also jumped into the water shortly after. After entering the water, the three of them disappeared.
"Two brothers, I have heard that my brother praised Pang Wanchun for his great archery skills. I have never seen it before. The two brothers must also have great archery skills. Why don't we compare today?"
Yang Zhi looked at Lei Jiong and Ji Ji and said.
"We are here to accompany you!"
Lei Jiong and Ji Ji answered with a smile while holding their bows and arrows.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, Yang Zhi, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji missed all their arrows. The three officers and soldiers at the front were instantly hit by arrows and fell into the water.
"Shield!"
The navy also reacted quickly. The shield on the front ship had been set up to prevent the arrow from missing.
"boating!"
Yang Zhi ordered the rowing men that it was impossible for the three of them to block a thousand sailors like this. They had to rely on the narrow river channel to fight and retreat to delay time.
"Fire the arrow!"
Because the river is narrow, the navy boats cannot line up in a row and can only move forward in a queue. If the speed of the front slows down, the boats behind will not be able to move forward. Upon seeing this, the commander of the navy directly ordered to shoot. Shoot the thief in front of you with an arrow.
"That's it?"
Yang Zhi looked at the incoming arrows and grabbed them with his hands. He caught more than a dozen incoming arrows with a wave of his hands.
"Yang Zhi uses good tactics!"
Lei Jiong and Ji Ji looked at Yang Zhi's hand and cheered in unison. Although they were far away from the enemy and the speed of the arrow was greatly reduced, it was not easy to catch it with bare hands.
"fight back!"
Yang Zhi took the arrow and started to fight back. Lei Jiong and Ji Ji also fired together. The three of them suppressed fifty or sixty people on the opposite side.
"They're all trash, hurry up and kill them!"
The commander of the army was furious when he saw that the soldiers were so useless, and urged the soldiers in the rowing boats. Their archery skills were not as good as those of the opposite party, so they could only rely on numbers to win close behind.
Suddenly there was a sound of water breaking, and three crocodile claws flew out from the water, dragging the soldiers rowing at the stern of the boat into the water. The water was churning. The officers and soldiers on the boat wanted to save them, but all they could see were bright red masses. The blood surged up.
"There are enemies underwater!"
The officers and soldiers only reacted at this time and plunged into the water with their spears, but Ruan Xiaoqi, Ni Yun, and Bu Qing had already swam to the back of the fleet.
There was another commotion, and soldiers on the boats behind were also dragged into the water and killed. For a moment, the officers and soldiers were in chaos. The soldiers looked at the surrounding water with horrified faces. The calm water seemed to be filled with evil spirits.
The fleet of the official army was very long, and several soldiers were hooked off at the end.
"gather!"
The commander roared when he saw this. He had no choice but to gather the boats. They had already discovered that there were not many enemies underwater. As long as they gathered together, there was nothing they could do.
"Swish swish!"
Yang Zhi, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji seized this gap and sailed over. Another burst of arrows shot out, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers were hit by arrows and fell into the water.
"Shoot, advance, kill!"
After gathering the fleet, the navy commander once again ordered to kill Yang Zhi. This time, there were hundreds of crossbows assembled in front, which could be suppressed by sheer numbers.
"Into the reed marsh!"
When Yang Zhi saw this, he stopped fighting and let the boat sail directly into the reed marsh next to it.
Taking advantage of the large number of people, the officers and soldiers also rushed into the reed swamp. They were hundreds of times larger than the enemy and were not afraid of the enemy setting up an ambush in the reed swamp.
Yang Zhi was not prepared to fight with a large number of enemies in the reed swamp. He just wanted to delay time. After playing hide and seek in the reed swamp for a long time, the officers and soldiers also reacted and shouted to withdraw. Finding a small boat in a large reed swamp is like finding a needle in a haystack; it would be better to chase a distant fleet.
"Want to leave!"
Yang Zhi, Lei Jiong, and Ji Ji appeared on the river again, still shooting continuously.
But this time the officers and soldiers were on guard, and no one was shot with their shields raised.
"hateful!"
When Lei Jiong and Ji Ji saw this, they knew something was wrong. After all, there were many officers and soldiers. They found a way to deal with it and they were unable to stop it.
"Zhi Yang, let's fight them."
Lei Jiong looked at Yang Zhi with a spear and said, the officers and soldiers formed a shield formation with shields. Their bows and arrows were useless and they could only fight hand-to-hand.
"Fire, look, it's on fire!"
Ji Ji pointed to several large boats on the river in the distance and said, after the officers and soldiers changed boats, those large boats stopped on the river bank, and a raging fire was already burning.
"It's Xiao Qi and the others!"
Yang Zhi's eyes flashed with joy. This was definitely done by Ruan Xiaoqi, Ni Yun, and Bu Qing.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers also discovered that the ship was on fire, and their forward momentum stopped immediately. They all looked behind in horror.
"Go back and put out the fire!"
The commander of the army could no longer care about the thieves at this time. Those large ships must not be destroyed. If the thieves could not be caught, the most they could do was scold them. If these ships were destroyed, they would be dismissed from their posts.
