"Another enemy ship is coming!"
"Everyone on alert!"
Sergeant Yuan, who was in charge of the lookout, suddenly shouted a warning.
A fast ship with various shields hung on the outside and the deck full of bow-wielding men was heading towards the shore.
The leader on the ship is obviously not simple either. There were still one hundred and fifty steps away from the river bank, so people lowered the sails and stopped the boat with poles. Finally, it stopped just a stone's throw away.
"Peng Cai of the Peng family wants to meet with you and other leaders. Can I meet you?"
A big man on the boat shouted loudly.
"The style of this ship is quite similar to those stern warships we captured, but it is much smaller. It is more like a water pirate speedboat. I'm afraid it's coming from someone with bad intentions!"
"Young Master, you must not take risks! It is better to stay away from this dangerous place immediately and follow up!"
Yuan Bao, whose face turned pale due to blood loss, forced himself to persuade him.
Yuan Yao was full of gratitude to Yuan Bao, and he untied Yuan Bao's soft armor in distress, only to find that blood was still flowing under the soft armor.
The moment Yuan Bao's soft armor was uncovered, his confidence seemed to be completely lifted.
If you can no longer hold on anymore, you will fall to the ground.
Yuan Yao's hands and eyes were quick and he supported Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao laughed at himself: "Hey! I thought the arrow just scratched a little skin, so I pulled it out directly."
Yuan Yao almost shed tears when he saw it. A veteran like Yuan Bao, who was born in the army, would know that after being hit by an arrow, he could not easily pull it out.
But Yuan Bao still took the risk of heavy bleeding and pulled out the non-fatal arrow without hesitation.
Just so that his mobility would not be affected in a short period of time and he could protect Yuan Yao to the greatest extent possible.
"You guys, send him back to the camp for treatment immediately!"
"We must be quick. If he continues to lose blood like this, Zhang Zhongjing may not be able to save him!"
Yuan Bao shouted to the knight beside him.
Immediately, two horsemen took out a rope and a fishing net from the luggage on the horse, and then tied the four corners of the fishing net to the heads and saddles of the two parallel horses.
The simple and quick two-horse stretcher was ready. Yuan Yao and Huang Yi also tied up the bleeding area of Yuan Bao with a piece of cloth.
"Quick, lift it up!"
"You, and you, escort me from the front and back!"
Everyone carried Yuan Bao up, and the two guards mounted their horses and rode side by side.
They have already trained for this situation, and they have a good understanding of riding and will not make any mistakes.
Two more cavalry escorted them from front to back, and the four rode straight to the camp in the north.
One of the guards brought a water bag to wash away the blood on Yuan Yao's hands.
"No need!" Although Yuan Yao was stained with blood for the first time, he didn't have any fear in his heart.
Instead, it is more about bloodlust and desire for excitement.
At this moment, he really wanted to know what kind of tricks Shang Liao Peng was going to play with him.
…
On the boat, Peng Cai was a little confused when he saw four cavalrymen running out of the official army formation, and there seemed to be a person wrapped in a fishing net in the middle.
Peng Lang's idiot, who did he hit with his arrow this time?
But compared to the person sent out by the official army, he is more concerned about how far away the main force of the official army is from here?
These four cavalrymen will definitely report for reinforcements after returning to camp, so they will not have much time left for them.
Thinking of this, Peng Cai no longer hesitated, boarded the bow and shouted loudly:
"My dear Peng Cai, my favorite is the allusion about Ji Bu Yinuo's daughter!"
"I'm meeting you and other leaders because I want to explain everything that happened today face to face! I'm just asking for justice!"
"Are you, the dignified officers and generals, still afraid that I, a humble citizen, will not succeed in my promotion?"
As soon as Peng Cai finished speaking, everyone on the boat burst into laughter, with several mocking words like "rat", "coward" and "coward" heard from time to time.
Huang Yi quickly held down Yuan Yao who was about to get up and advised: "Brother-in-law, this is a way to provoke the general. Don't be impulsive!"
"Let's retreat first, gather all our troops and horses, and then attack Shangxiao City!"
Yuan Yao took Huang Yi's hand away, his face was as sinking as water, and he said extremely calmly:
"This is a delaying tactic. He just wants to hold us back for a while."
"Peng's real large force has probably come ashore from a place we can't see from a distance. It will probably take about a quarter of an hour to surround them."
Huang Yi looked suspiciously into the distance, but could only see the surrounding reeds that were taller than a person.
"Then you know everything, why don't you retreat quickly?"
"Withdraw? Why withdraw?"
Yuan Yao sneered: "I'm afraid they'll be hurt by the beating we just made, and they won't dare to come up again!"
"If they were hiding in Shangliao City, that would give me a headache!"
Huang Yi said in disbelief: "Brother-in-law, don't tell me that this was your careful design again?"
Yuan Yao shook his head: "I'm not a god, so why are there so many calculations?"
"It's just a plan!"
Huang Yi thought so. Before today, it was true that Yuan Yao had no intention of taking action against the Peng family. On the contrary, he sent scouts around to find out the route around Dongjin Pavilion and Shangliao City.
If it hadn't been for the continuous heavy rains in the past few days, which resulted in the entire Xiushui River being the only place where large groups of people could pass, Yuan Jun would have reached Nanchang County directly by other routes.
Huang Yi swallowed: "Are you going to use yourself as bait to fish?"
"Have you sent someone to notify Lu Dai in the camp and Zheng Bao in the Navy? How dare you take advantage of this?"
"None of them. When I brought these five hundred people out, Lu Dai led people to escort He Kui to the county seat to take office."
"If Zheng Bao hadn't had any accidents at this moment, he would have led his navy to Ganshui!"
"With any luck, Lu Dai should have returned to the camp from the county by now. If he has a sense of crisis, he might be on his way here now."
"If you're not lucky, only the four cavalrymen will be able to return to the camp to report the news!"
Huang Yi was shocked: "Damn, then you dare to risk your life?"
Huang Yi also learned a lot of later generations' words from Yuan Yao during this period, and he blurted out them when he was in a hurry.
"This is called risking your life to survive!"
Seeing Huang Yi's panicked look, Yuan Yao's previous nervousness disappeared.
"Shit, you just entered the hut with a lantern and are looking for death!"
"Hey, weren't you there when Zhang Fei and Yan Xiang were telling fortunes? What did they say? The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity!"
"Now is the opportunity to hit Peng's family in one fell swoop. I have a vague hunch now that if I can seize Shangliao City, I'm afraid there will be unexpected gains!"
"I believe you ghost!"
Huang Yi looked at Yuan Yao and felt that this man was simply crazy.
"Brother-in-law, I beg you, let's stop playing. It's definitely too late to evacuate now!"
Looking at Huang Yi begging for help, Yuan Yao shook his head:
"It's too late!"
"We, the five hundred armored men, have no choice but to run without our armor. Otherwise, how can we outrun the common people like the Peng family?"
"If by any chance Peng's men take a small road and catch up and block him, that will really mean that the sky will not respond and the earth will not work!"
"It's better to rely on this land surrounded by water on three sides and fight with good soldiers and armor to survive!"
What the heck!
Seeing that Yuan Yao was determined not to leave, Huang Yi could only curse in his heart.
