"Stop them quickly!"
At dawn, when the morning light showed slightly, in the Qianjiang River section, the Qiantang thieves and the Zhennan Escort Bureau who were guarding the cargo ship were already facing each other.
The escorts relied on the height of the cargo ship to defend against the rain of arrows from the water thieves. Moreover, these Qiantang thieves were not government soldiers after all, so they did not have so much ordnance that they could squander.
Some of these arrows were imitated and homemade, but many of them were captured previously. They will be gone once they are used up, unless they fight another battle with the officers and soldiers.
Therefore, under the orders of the second master of the water thieves, the thieves either climbed up the cargo ship using ladders or tying ropes.
The escorts and guards on the ship did not panic at this time, because blocking the opponent's attack previously had boosted their own morale, and their confidence had increased, which made them more confident.
Under the instructions of the instructors and stewards, they either sawed off the ladder or cut the rope. But at this moment, the opposite side suddenly launched an arrow attack. Firstly, it was to cover the boarding of the ship, and secondly, because of the important situation at this time, After cutting off the rope ladder, many escorts and guards gave up their protection and came to the edge of the ship. However, they became living targets and were exposed to arrow attacks.
In a short time, there were twenty or thirty combatants who were either dead or injured.
Of course, the Qiantang thieves also paid a heavy price, but as they were hanging out on the water, they were all good at water. As long as they didn't fall too deep alone, or happened to be hit by a ladder, they could rescue each other ashore.
This river is also in a very narrow section, and most of the middle part is occupied by cargo ships. Even if there is no boat of your own nearby, you can get ashore in time.
The key point is that the water pirates are very vicious and have serious commanders, so they can hold on temporarily even if there are casualties; but some of the escorts and guards on the ship may not have even seen blood, and the instructors and stewards on each ship The binding force is also different, there are those who are stubborn and stubborn, and there are also those who are determined to give up.
But at this moment, two black tower-like guards stood out on the Li family's cargo ship. Each of them held up a two-foot-long long rope, one on each side, and in a short while they all climbed up the ship's rope ladder. After the raid, this bravery was astonishing, and it even boosted the morale of the escorts.
The second master couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this, and cursed secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this Laoshizi Escort Agency really has some tricks up its sleeve. Not only is it offensive and defensive, but it is also led by such warriors.
At the same time, murderous intent arose in his heart. If they were given time to continue to grow, it would really pose a great threat to them in the future. At that time, they might not be as capable as they are now.
It’s not just the above methods that they used——
"Since you can't wait for the coffin without shedding tears - the water ghosts will go into the water and scuttle them!"
Naturally, this order still posed a threat, that is, until those water ghosts actually dug part of the bottom of the ship underwater, causing water to tilt under the deck of the cargo ship. However, due to the size of the cargo ship and the narrowness of the river, it would not completely sink. .
If you threaten them at this time and ask them to make a choice between their own lives and protecting the cargo on the ship, most people will definitely choose the former.
It’s just a few hundred articles a month, so why bother?
If you want to make money, it will be in vain if you have a life to make money but not to spend it.
…
After thinking about it over and over, the headmaster still felt a little uneasy. He hurriedly called people in and planned to send someone directly to the front line to explore the situation and report back in time, otherwise he would never be able to calm down.
Although he has a more cautious temperament, he is not the kind of person who is hesitant and hesitant in doing things. In the past, he would be a little worried, and it was just because they were doing risky business, and I don’t know when one of his brothers suffered an accident. Dead.
He had always wanted to change the days when the knife edge was licking blood, but unfortunately he never had the chance.
But this was the first time, and he felt very unsure. He had to watch their triumph with his own eyes before he could completely calm down.
"The boss..."
"You..." The headmaster was about to speak. When he looked at the person coming in from the opposite side, his heart suddenly moved. He stared at him, then moved his eyes downwards and saw his steps that were still moving forward. He suddenly shouted backwards. : "Who are you?"
"The person who wants your life!" As he said this, the person opposite him had already moved forward and jumped directly on him.
He was still careless after all. If he hadn't noticed the difference in the footsteps and sounds just now, he might not even know how he died.
However, he had already allowed the opponent to get close to him, and he was calculating mentally and unintentionally. As the leader, he had done less and less by himself in recent years. Instead, he began to work more hard, and his skills and reactions were much slower.
But when he wanted to muster the strength to resist, he discovered that this man was surprisingly strong. One hand grabbed both of his wrists and pinned them to the ground, making it impossible for him to break free.
His legs were just enough for him to sit down, and the only thing that could move was his head.
But the other party didn't think it was enough, and strangled his neck with the other hand, causing veins to pop out on his forehead and face, and his eyes were about to burst. He could only ask with difficulty: "You...who are you?"
"I told you, he is the one who wants your life!"
It was obviously a familiar face to him, but it was another voice that spoke, and his mind was spinning very quickly. He almost immediately thought of the only possibility, "You...came with Guangyuan..."
"Clever! But it's of no use..."
The headmaster felt the sudden force on his hand, his face flushed red, his eyes widened and stared at the other person, as if he wanted to remember his appearance firmly in the underworld.
He just felt very aggrieved in his heart. He thought about how he would die, but he never thought that he would die so aggrieved.
The other party not only made him unable to struggle, but also made him unable to cry out. The feeling of strong suppression made him feel powerless to resist.
Although it was a sneak attack, it also showed that even if the opponent did not attack sneakily, he would not be a match at all now.
The reason for the sneak attack was just to leak information and cause unnecessary trouble.
It can be seen that the other party definitely not only came here this time, but has probably already come to the water village to explore. He knows the route here clearly. He even knows where there are guards and where people can hide. Otherwise, even if he has won people's trust, it would not be so easy to sneak in here without people noticing.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that most of the brothers have been deployed to block the cargo ship, because the news I heard this time is that several families in Qiantang County have joined forces, and each family has sent out more than a dozen guards, plus Zhennan If the people in the escort agency don't mobilize the stronghold, they may be difficult to capture.
And he originally thought very well. This time may be the most violent counterattack by those companies in the past two years. Now that they have completed this deal, they will take the benefits and simply disperse elsewhere to live ordinary lives.
But now it seems that even this matter is very likely to be part of the other party's calculations.
Or maybe it was his plan...
"call……"
Unexpectedly, he had just been thinking about life for a while when he suddenly felt his hands loosen up. Then the man opposite him actually stood up and walked to the side to sit down. He poured a glass of wine by himself. After drinking a glass, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing." The taste is better than drinking water."
The headmaster's eyes were wandering, but he didn't cry out for a while. He just sat up tentatively and felt slightly relieved when he saw that he didn't move. Then he looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
