Yingyin and Changshe are just like a river, and its flow direction is mostly tortuous, but generally from north to south.
To go down the river, you need to take a boat to cross the river. The Chen family has many boats, so they undertake this task. The army goes overland, while Zhang Han gains the friendship of the landlord and enjoys the pleasure of a boat trip along the river.
Chen Qun was reading the letter sent by Xun Yu. He was not sure whether Zhang Han had read the content, but Xun Yu spoke highly of him. His talent and vision clearly stated that "the future is promising" and could be consolidated in the future.
And now, he also had the ability to promote counties and prefectures. Just from this detailed praise, Chen Qun knew that Xun Yu actually liked this young man very much.
Recalling that this plan he devised was also in line with his talent, Chen Qun sighed: "Wen Ruo thinks very highly of you."
"However, your methods are quite unflattering," Chen Qun was still unhappy. He might have to remember the incident of attacking Changshe for a long time.
"Huh," Zhang Han said noncommittally. He wanted to say that this strategy had nothing to do with him, it was just a slight change.
It was Guo Fengxiao who really came up with the plan.
But saying this was too unloyal. Chen Qun was obviously angry at being plotted against others. It would be somewhat unkind to blame Fengxiao again, so he smiled and said nothing.
Chen Qun continued: "I was really angry before, but later I understood this strategy. You have left room for change. It is a strategy where everyone wins if you seek cooperation. If Chen Yingde is built as an allusion, Chen will not be criticized by others in the future." .”
He neither betrayed his class nor had to face Cao Jun's sword, so his father's enlightenment that day was a response to him.
When he said this, the atmosphere between the two became much better.
You can take a look at the nearby scenery along the river.
The wind is strong in spring, and you can have an unobstructed view of the common people's villages along the way. After gradually getting away from the city, there are mostly green mountains on both sides. The mountain walls are steep and difficult to climb, with moss and hanging vines. Occasionally, you can see caves looming on the side.
And looking at the mountains in the distance, it's like an old turtle crouching and looking at the horizon.
The water flow is brisk and crystal clear, with schools of fish swimming and occasionally jumping in the ripples. The boat is not dizzy at all, but feels quite peaceful. Zhang Han and Chen Qun occasionally come to the deck to watch.
Even the air is much more comfortable than in a land-based city.
Of course, how can ordinary people have such a life? Zhang Han already has a fortune and three properties, but still does not have a boat of his own.
Boats are easy to make, but boats are actually very expensive. To build a comfortable building boat requires a lot of manpower and even very skilled craftsmen.
Dian Wei was on another ship, commanding the left and right sides. The main ship was surrounded by six shorter boats. He brought more than 200 Su guards on this trip, all commanded by Dian Wei. For them, it was not So comfortable.
As a Su Wei's intuition, Dian Wei would always look around on the speedboat. There were many dark places between the mountains, blocking his vision from seeing the scenery.
He always felt that if a warship was ambushed in these places and once it was sailed out to block it, or if an iron rope or the like was set up in the shallower water to block the ship, they would be trapped in a tight siege.
Sure enough, human intuition is not unreasonable.
When Zhang Han and Chen Qun were drinking and chatting, repairing their relationship, and gradually becoming familiar with each other, on the night of the third day.
The ship was parked sideways between the mountains. Many large ships emerged from the darkness, all similar to the Chen family's large ships. They moved towards Zhang Han and surrounded him heavily. The ships raised their fires and lit up. As soon as they approached, they immediately raised their bows. Set up arrows and shoot at the main ship and the surrounding escort ships.
For a time, arrows rained down like rain, and there were constant shouts and shouts.
Su Wei rushed into the houseboat and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush. Su Wei has held up a shield to resist it, but sir, please be careful and take shelter in the cabin of the boat!"
Zhang Han heard the noise outside and knew something had happened. It happened very suddenly. During the past two days of sailing, he only focused on admiring the mountains and rivers along the way and feeling the tranquility. However, he forgot that there were many things he passed by. I don't know how many people knew that he and Su Wei were separated.
Therefore, all the thoughts came to his mind at this moment, and he looked at Chen Qun coldly: "How could there be an ambush?"
"Which party does Changwen think sent the person?"
This is the importance of the advance army. On the march, it may be ambushed by a large army, or a small group of cavalry may cut off the advance food route, thus fending off many hidden dangers for the three armies that are actually moving forward.
As for Zhang Han, he separated from Zhang Liao and hundreds of guards and took the water route, firstly for the ease of travel, and secondly to reach Yingyin as soon as possible. But who would have thought that he would be ambushed first? This is not a bandit or a secret enemy, this is a careful plan.
And, the news leaked.
Otherwise, what would these enemy troops hiding in the dark do to come to him? It is more important to cut off the grain road or defeat Zhang Liao, and the harvest will naturally be greater.
Chen Qun's expression was still quite calm, not panicked or guilty. He even picked up the wine bowl and took a sip and said with a smile: "Bo Chang, if I arranged the assassination, then why should I go with you?"
"Just to clear the suspicion, aren't you afraid of being hacked to death by your guards on the spot?"
At this time, Su Wei took out the spear and saber from the side, and put on Zhang Han's bright silver light armor. He was already wearing a strong suit, and the armor could be fastened. At this time, he tied up his long hair with a high ponytail. On the back of the head, a dark red band is used on the forehead to prevent hair from falling on the forehead, giving a rather heroic look.
There was a hint of brilliance in Chen Qun's eyes. He looked carefully and saw that Zhang Han had thick shoulders, sharp muscles and angular muscles. He was tall and strong. At first glance, he felt that this man had the meaning of "fast" and extraordinary temperament.
"Bo Chang, you can actually wear armor and go into battle?"
Zhang Han sighed: "I don't know martial arts, I just have natural supernatural power."
Chen Qun suddenly realized that no wonder the document that day could not be lifted no matter how hard it was lifted. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, picked up the sword that was placed aside, put it in front of his legs, stretched out his hand to touch it and said: "In that case, we will break out of the siege today." That’s it.”
"Bo Chang, although there were rifts before, it was all due to different positions and was a ploy. A gentleman does not seek evil for personal gain. Today, after going through life and death, I have put an end to the past grudges. I will protect you from the siege."
He stood up, held the long sword in his hand, and then unsheathed the sword. The sword trembled slightly, and he looked at Zhang Han with a burning gaze, quite chivalrous.
Zhang Han looked stunned, but he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go out together."
I believe it's not you now, otherwise there would be no need to force the Qi to be so strong, Zhang Han thought to himself.
The two led the guards out of the houseboat and climbed the stairs to the deck. At this time, the rain of arrows had stopped, and most of the bows and arrows had been used up. The guards on the ship also fired at each other. There were casualties on both sides, but the guards on the ship were well-equipped. .
There were a large number of people on the opposite side, so they threw down the wide planks of the ship and prepared to board the ship to fight.
When I saw Zhang Han coming out, he was dressed slightly differently from the surrounding guards. Although his armor was light but well-protected, he wore a helmet and a helmet. He had a handsome face and an extraordinary aura. He was as easy to spot as he stood out from the crowd.
"The one wearing silver armor is Zhang Han! Kill him!"
"Everyone, let me kill him!"
"Kill! Go!"
Everyone's eyes instantly glanced at Zhang Han's location, and then quickly stepped across the ship's plank.
The sound of footsteps kept ringing, and noisy shouts could be heard from all directions around Zhang Han. In an instant, there were more than a hundred people boarding the ship. Not long after, the first group had already turned around from the right, and Zhang Han still had his back turned. He and the guards were all on guard in front of him. Seeing the opportunity, they immediately ran over with a knife and raised their hands to chop.
Got it!
The strong man was overjoyed, the order was easily fulfilled, and he got a hundred gold!
boom!
At this moment, he suddenly saw Zhang Han's back shaking with domineering power, and the tip of the spear hanging down in his right hand turned into an afterimage of a silver dragon, piercing the deck.
At the same time, it pierced the top of his feet, and then he struggled hard, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He threw the knife and hugged his legs. He opened his mouth but couldn't scream at all. After a while, when the pain spread, he let out a cry. .
At this moment, the silver gun in Zhang Han's hand shook again, and he thrust it forward, piercing his heart.
"Dianwei!!"
Zhang Han dealt with this man, quickly swept away more than a dozen bandits who came from the right rear, fought a bloody path, and then took the opportunity to shout in the distance.
On a ship not far away, Dian Wei had already led his men to the front right deck. At this time, he heard shouting and ran to the side of the ship: "I'm here!! I'll be back soon!"
"That boat is too rocky."
"Tsk, where is Zixiu!?" Zhang Han shouted again.
But no one answered. Cao Ang was traveling with him on the ship. As his deputy commander, he should have a group of soldiers guarding him desperately. How did Dian Wei end up on someone else's ship? .
As a result, Dian Wei was far away from him and it was difficult to meet him.
But at this time, he caught a glimpse of another ship. Cao Ang had already led his men to install the ship's planks and fight on board. It seemed that the momentum was almost under control.
Zhang Han withdrew his gaze and looked at the three people in front. At this time, their flaws were clearly visible. He strode forward, shook out a flower from his spear, and used his weak force to attack one person on the left, while the two on the right took advantage of the opportunity. The general will come up.
"kill!"
So, the second time the gun was actually fired, Zhang Han twisted his waist and changed his strength, swept horizontally, slit the throat of one person, then swept him towards the second person with great force, and then bullied him forward again, When the enemy was stunned, he patted the knife on his waist with his left hand, touched the handle of the knife and took it out with his backhand, touched the neck of the person on the left, then stepped on the ground and retreated.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, like thunder. The thieves who came up to kill them only saw a nimble silver figure like a tiger rushing in, or like an eagle flying away. Within one or two of them, they didn't have time to kill and surround them. Zhang Han had killed three people and retreated to a safe position.
At this time, he was holding a knife in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. He put the spear head close to his body and raised his left hand high. After aligning the tip of the knife with the scabbard, he slowly inserted the knife into the scabbard and turned it into two hands. Holding the spear tightly, his falcon-like eyes stared at the enemy in front of him.
"So fast!"
This coming and going has cast a shadow on the hearts of all the thieves in front of them. They can only be vigilant, but they dare not move forward rashly.
At this time, Ji Boxiao held a broad knife and stuck it behind Zhang Han. He wiped the blood on his face and shouted: "Sir, what should we do now? There are more and more thieves on our ship!"
Thump thump thump! !
The chaotic footsteps that sounded one after another stopped abruptly near the cabin, and became more and more numerous. Almost a dozen of them were surrounded. There should be hundreds of them, densely packed. The whole ship kept shaking, and the situation was very critical.
Zhang Han tightened his hands, raised the tip of his spear, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me and fight out!"
"As you command!"
Ji Boxiao also tightened his grip and stood guard behind, and then escorted Chen Qun in. Chen Qun and Zhang Han moved slowly to the bow deck, back to back.
There are more and more enemies on both sides.
Finally, someone else couldn't hold back anymore, thinking that Zhang Han couldn't be so scary. His body shook for a while, and at the moment of shaking, Zhang Han moved!
He leaped forward lightly, deflected the sword with his spear, and stabbed straight to kill one person.
When people came up to kill him, Zhang Han did not retreat but moved forward. He used his back hand to sweep the bullets on both sides, and the silver gun knocked away the sword with great force, killing two more people.
At this time, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and saw the dark arrow flying past, swooping towards him.
His pupils shrank, and he noticed the trajectory with his eyesight. He stood on one foot and turned to the left and jumped. At the same time, he thrust out the spear again. The spear was like a silver snake coming out of its hole and piercing another person.
After standing still, he swung his spear and swept away the shadow of the gun, and rushed directly into the crowd.
"Zhang Han is here, shoot him with hidden arrows!"
Many people in the distance were pointing their bows and arrows at Zhang Han. Upon hearing these words, Zhang Han directly blocked a few knives and rushed into the crowd.
Chen Qun's descendants are numb.
There are too many people!
He killed two or three people with his long sword, but how could he withstand the desperate slashes of so many desperadoes? He was retreating steadily under constant parries. When he saw Zhang Han kill into the crowd, he was so frightened that he was trembling in his heart.
He, how dare he!
At the moment when Chen Qun was stunned, Zhang Han had already killed four or five more people. His movements were obviously much faster than the others. No, it should be described as swift and violent. Every move was filled with momentum, like a wind and a lingering cloud.
Wherever he went, the group of people became difficult to resist, and then he stabbed and beheaded several people to death before escaping.
Although there were a few people with good martial arts skills who could briefly follow Zhang Han's movements and slashed with their swords, they could not hit his vital points and could only leave a knife mark on his arm and shoulder.
Seeing this, Chen Qun felt inexplicably relieved and just wanted to stay close to Zhang Han and defend him from the small wave of bandits behind him.
At this time, Zhang Han had already led Ji Boxiao and other thirteen guards into the crowd. Occasionally, he could be seen crushing more than a dozen people by himself. Screams kept ringing around him, and he entered the crowd instantly. A fierce battle.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Han had already fought his way from the bow to the stern of the ship. Most of the people who fell where he passed were the bandit enemies who had climbed aboard the ship, and he was forcing the rest to tremble.
In Chen Qun's eyes, Zhang Han was hit by three arrows in the chest and abdomen. The arrows had penetrated into the armor and soaked out blood, but his figure was not affected at all and he was still approaching step by step.
Chen Qun had only seen this kind of toughness in generals on the battlefield.
"You, don't come here!"
"do not come!"
After fighting for half an hour, the situation of the battle has become clear. The remaining people draw their bows and arrows, aiming at Zhang Han's face. However, as soon as they see his cold eyes, their hearts will tremble for no reason.
It's so cruel, this person is so cruel, why can't he be beaten down no matter what? His body is obviously scarred, but he is not affected at all!
He even struck harder and harder, as if the scars actually aroused his ferocity even more.
At this moment, two halberds were suddenly thrown from behind the thief and almost "smashed" into the vest of one of his companions. The man fell forward directly on his back.
At this moment, the thieves were even more frightened.
"Who?!"
"Is there anyone else!?"
They were in panic, and then there was a bang. Everyone was frightened and looked back. A figure as big as a beast jumped over from the boat approaching behind them, climbed up, and rolled forward.
After Dian Wei rolled around, he reached out and grabbed the person's ankle, pulled hard, and pulled him to the ground. He quickly grabbed the person's feet alternately and grabbed the person as if he was being pulled into the lair by a tiger. .
When he reacted, a ferocious face suddenly bulged, the corners of his mouth turned down, his cheeks bulged, his eyes glared, and his right hand formed a fist, hitting it like a thunderbolt.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Dian Wei punched the man's face open, then took a small step forward, stepped on the back where the two halberds had just been inserted, held the two halberds in both hands, and stepped down.
With a puff, he pulled out his two halberds and put them on his shoulders, looking at the remaining people coldly.
"run!"
At this moment, everyone had only one thought left in their minds: they must run!
Five hundred of them came.
There are only two hundred people on this ship. This is the exact news. Who would have thought that they would encounter two terrifying tigers and wolves!
"Dianwei, leave a few alive so that our brothers can vent their anger."
Speaking of Zhang Hanhan's voice, the killing made his voice tremble a little.
Dian Wei grinned sternly, "Don't worry, those who jumped off the boat just now can't escape."
These words gave up the last thought of escaping among the remaining dozen thieves.
They had just jumped off the ship and walked a lot. They thought they could escape, but they didn't expect it to be a dead end.
You can't run away, you can't fight...
One of the leaders who survived at this moment thought about the words of those who gave the order: They are just counselors. Even if they have martial arts skills, they are not experienced in the battlefield. They are not to be feared. Kill them with heavy troops to frighten Cao's army!
Damn it, you call this a mere counselor, aren't you afraid of it? !
