Liu Qi was taken aback. He didn't expect that Samoko would actually attack him, and his movements were extremely fast, like a man-ape rushing towards him, unstoppable.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
At the same time, a figure flashed out from behind Liu Qi, flashing with cold light, and slashed towards Samoko.
when--
There was a loud noise, and Shamoko and his weapons were knocked backwards. He took four or five steps back before he could stabilize his body. He looked at the white-haired old man standing in front of Liu Qi with a sword in surprise.
Huang Zhong's beard and hair were all swollen, he glared angrily at the barbarian in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Who is so bold as to assassinate the general of the chariot and cavalry?"
Unexpectedly, Shamoke attracted Gan Ning away. The old man next to Liu Qi was so powerful. He didn't answer and rushed over again with a low roar.
"Kill, take Liu Qi's head!"
Behind Shamoko, the four barbarians also rushed over. Only by killing Liu Qi could they have a chance of survival, otherwise they would die at the hands of officers and soldiers.
"My lord, go back to the cabin first!" Huang Zhong shouted loudly, stepped forward with his sword, blocked the ship's side passage alone, and started fighting with Shamoko.
"Samoko, who ordered you to come here to assassinate me?" Liu Qi did not retreat, pointed at Samoko and shouted.
"You, how do you know..."
Shamoko's face changed greatly and he shouted out, but at this time Huang Zhong's sword had arrived and he was forced to speak. The two fought on the boat.
By this time, Gan Ning had killed all the men in black who had boarded the ship. He led his troops to support him and stepped forward to attack the four barbarians.
The last barbarian heard the noise behind him and rushed over with a knife in hand, hoping to intercept the officers and soldiers and buy time to assassinate Liu Qi.
"Son of a turtle!" Gan Ning roared angrily, strode towards him with his sword raised, a cold light flashed, and the man's head flew into the air, and blood emerged from his neck like a fountain.
"Try to capture him alive!" Liu Qi saw that Wuxi Man was acting strangely, and there must be something fishy behind it.
Especially when Shamoko appears here, the person behind the scenes must be found out. This matter is related to the stability of the entire Wuling. If the Wuxi barbarians rebel, it will definitely affect the development of Wuling and even Jingnan.
Huang Zhong was fighting with Shamoko for twenty rounds at this time, and he had already killed the opponent so much that he was sweating profusely and roaring angrily.
As the first warrior of the Wuxi Barbarians, Shamoko was beaten by a veteran and was unable to fight back. He was shocked and angry.
Although Gan Ning heard Liu Qi's cry, he did not dare to hold back at this time of life and death. He killed one man and continued to rush forward to block the other barbarian.
The man held a short knife in each hand, with his waist slightly bent, like a wolf ready to attack, with a fierce light in his eyes, preparing to attack Huang Zhong from behind.
At this time, the barbarian who spoke Mandarin was about to fire an arrow. Gan Ning gave a loud shout, took off the short halberd from his back, stretched out his hand and threw it out, hitting him in the back of the heart.
The man struggled to turn around, aimed the arrow at Gan Ning, and was ready to take revenge, but before he could exert any force, he vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the arrow flew out lightly.
In the blink of an eye, only one of the four was left. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the barbarian yelled at Shamoko, swung his hand and hit Gan Ning's face with his dagger, rolled on the spot, and jumped out towards the stern of the ship.
Gan Ning dodged the dagger, but it was too late to catch up. The man jumped into the river and disappeared.
"Keep Samoke!" Seeing that Huang Zhong had completely suppressed Samoke, Liu Qi greeted Gan Ning.
Gan Ning approached from behind with a knife raised. Shamoko had already been beaten by Huang Zhong and was frightened. Seeing that four of his companions were killed by Gan Ning again, there was panic in his eyes. He held the side of the ship with one hand, turned over the railing and jumped into the river.
Gan Ning was ready. He untied the iron rope from his waist, threw his hand out, hit Samoko's ankle, entangled it, and pulled it back violently.
There was a muffled bang, and Samoko was like a big fish being pulled up. He hit the boat board hard, made a muffled groan, and fell into the river with a splash.
"Son of a turtle, don't even think about escaping!" Gan Ning threw away the chain, jumped onto the side of the ship, quickly took off his coat, and jumped into the river after him.
The boat suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of waves could be heard. If it weren't for the corpses and blood everywhere, it would have been a nightmare.
Huang Zhonghengdao was on guard, observing the surroundings. Suddenly he heard muffled sounds coming from the bottom of the boat, and said hurriedly: "No, the thieves are drilling the boat!"
"This is a common trick used by water thieves to send navy troops for support." Liu Qi smiled faintly and sent an order to the navy troops: "General Gan has entered the water, go and support him quickly!"
The guards on the ship were usually Jinfan soldiers. After hearing this, without saying a word, they took off their armor and jumped into the river.
When Liu Qi saw this scene, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. They didn't act without authorization just now, but waited for his order before following Gan Ning into the water. This shows that Gan Ning trained his troops and instilled the idea of loyalty to the emperor.
Huang Zhong stroked his long beard gently and frowned: "The Wuxi barbarians have always been at peace with us. Liu Mu also ordered to treat their people well. Why did they suddenly attack?"
Liu Qi said: "Barbarians are profit-seeking. They will not take risks to assassinate without any reason. There must be someone behind the scenes to instigate him. As long as Samoko is caught, everything will come to light."
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "This barbarian is quite brave and has weird moves, but he is not yet proficient in them. If given time, he will definitely be a difficult opponent."
Liu Qi secretly laughed in his heart. After Shamoko became the Barbarian King, the first one he killed was General Gan Ning!
It was already evening, and the sea was calm. Broken shipboards and several corpses were floating on the river. Several black figures could be seen chasing each other underwater.
From time to time, blood bubbles appeared on the water. It was unknown who was killed, but Gan Ning had not appeared yet, so he could only wait patiently for the result.
At this time, Gan Ning had found Shamoke underwater and was chasing him, making him scramble and swim away.
Shamoko thought that the water quality was not bad, but when he dived into the river and saw Gan Ning moving as nimble and light as a big fish in the water, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Fighting underwater is completely different from fighting on land. Not only do you need to be flexible with your hands and eyes, but you also need to learn to breathe. Otherwise, if a wave rolls over, you may become dizzy and choke to death.
Shamoke was exhausted just now by Huang Zhong, and he was hit hard on the board of the boat. His blood was surging, he was dizzy, and he still couldn't breathe smoothly. How could he dare to fight Gan Ning? He was like a fish that slipped through the net, left and right. Swinging to escape.
Gan Ning held the stolen water-splitting thorn in his left hand and the short halberd in his right hand. He walked between the bottom of the ship and the rocks. When he encountered the shipbuilding thieves, he stabbed them and saw a red light emerging.
These thieves were obviously well prepared. They were all dressed in water and holding chisels in their hands, specifically to destroy the bottom of the ship. However, they were no match for the Jinfan Army.
Not only did these soldiers travel across the Yangtze River all year round, they were already highly skilled in martial arts, and after training in the army, they were even more powerful. With just a gesture, they could understand the intentions of their companions, and in groups of two or a few, they could defeat the water thieves one by one.
The underwater battle was even more brutal. It was a silent fight, with streams of red blood rising up, which was shocking.
Gan Ning was about to catch up with Samoko and reached out to grab his ankle. Suddenly, a thief came forward with a diagonal stab, even faster than himself. With a string of blisters, the water-splitting thorn stabbed straight towards his ribs. .
