The first thousand three hundred and ninety-five chapters are real people
Late at night, the on-duty troops on the ship routinely released a row of rockets towards the direction of Dakaishan. The rockets' light seemed to fall one by one by one, falling into the distance.
"Enemy attack!"
The sharp-eyed man saw a flash of black shadows in the fire. With a shout, the horn sounded whimpering. The navy soldiers on duty quickly gathered on the side of the big ship near the water shore. The archers were in place in a very short time and the queues were neatly arranged.
"Rockets! Three platoons shot in a row!"
Xie Jiuzhuan shouted loudly.
Huh, a row of rockets shot out, the second row followed closely behind, and the third row also released. The three rows of rockets looked particularly beautiful in the air, but no one was staring at the arrow, but staring at the place illuminated by the arrow.
This place is not far from the shore at the foot of Dakai Mountain. Three rows of rockets shot over and the near shore was illuminated. In the distance, you can vaguely see small boats parked there, and people in the water also showed their heads from time to time. Those who wanted to attack did not dare to row the boat too close. They were also worried that the sound of paddling alarmed the official boat.
"They want to slaughter our big ship."
Xie Jiuzhuan shouted loudly: "Jump down and guard the big ship around the big ship, archers shoot at the person who showed their heads!"
After he shouted, he asked someone to help remove the armor on his body, and jumped from the ship with a dagger in his mouth. As Xie Jiu turned the soldiers, they fell down vertically, plopping into the water.
After countless drills, the ship guards will not leave the big ship, and will not accidentally hurt their own people under such dark water. Everyone will land at the site to protect the big ship and perform their own duties.
In the water, Xie Jiuhuan saw a black shadow swimming over. He took a deep breath and sank violently. The speed was extremely fast. The black shadow swam over the top of his head and touched the big ship to stop. He held an axe in one hand and held a chisel in the other. Xie Jiuhuan rushed up from below, and the dagger pierced into the black shadow's body. The black shadow churned violently in the water like a big fish biting a hook. Xie Jiuhuan flipped up with one hand and put his arms around the man's neck, crossed his legs to the man's waist, and held it tightly. The dagger in his right hand poked at the man's ribs one by one.
After a while, the struggling man disappeared. Xie Jiuzhuan held the big ship and exposed his head to breathe. After he emerged, bubbles of air appeared on the water surface around him, as if water was boiling. With the shimmer light from the lights on the big ship, the churning bubbles were dark colors.
People kept swimming towards the big ship, but each big ship was surrounded by naval warriors. They were all recruited from Jiangnan Road. They grew up in the water since childhood, and there was no need to say that they were water-like.
The battle spreads around each big ship, standing on the big ship and looking down, like a group of sharks biting.
There are no sharks here, but everyone is more fierce than sharks.
Such a fight cannot be seen clearly, but it is even more tragic than a clearly visible battle. They are entangled in the water, stabbing at each other with a dagger or a chisel in their hands. The people under the water don't even shout, but the blood can stimulate people more.
I don’t know how long it lasted, but the small boat in the distance began to retreat, and the sound of churning waves around gradually disappeared. The soft ladder was placed on the large ship, and the soldiers around the underwater escort warship began to board the ship and return.
"Go and see how many casualties were killed!"
After boarding the boat, Xie Jiuzhuan held the side of the boat and shouted: "Another group of people go down and see if there are any of our people who are injured and cannot get up. Take all the bodies up and distinguish them!"
As the shouts fell, another group of people jumped into the water with ropes on them.
The bodies were pulled up by soldiers on the ship, and the people on each ship were counting the casualties one by one. About half an hour later, the people from each ship began to report to the ship where Xie Jiuzhuan was located.
After statistics, the total number of soldiers injured and killed by each ship was more than 30, and more than 50 enemies were killed.
"They won't come again until dawn."
Xie Jiuzhuan looked at the centipede clutch that was supporting him behind. Half of the soldiers on the boat held torches and half held crossbows, patrolling around the big boat.
Not long after, Chen Leng came from behind ◇百雷 to ask about the situation, and Xie Jiuzhuan truthfully reported it.
"They didn't actually escape."
Chen Leng frowned slightly.
Before the attack, he was thinking about a question. After these bandits entrenched in Dakai Mountain committed such a big case, the most reasonable way was to evacuate all over the place before the court could find out.
They had time to evacuate, and the people from the county yamen were bribed by them, and no one monitored the place. The people sent by the Chongqing County Government were taken in circles by the local yamen, unfamiliar with the terrain, and they were in a mess. The focus was on the Tianji ticket number, and no one came to Dakaishan, so people in the mountains didn't even have to panic, so they could retreat calmly.
So Chen Leng was actually ready to pounce on the empty space this time, but now it seems that the people on Dakai Mountain did not retreat, but were still preparing to break the verge of death.
At the same time, in a brothel in the county seat of Chongqing County, Yuwen Xiaoce, who rarely comes to such a place, drinks here, and looks panic, sad, lost, and a deep sense of guilt in his eyes.
Sitting opposite him was Chang Yueyue, who was a little fat. He poured a glass of wine for Yuwen Xiaoce, handed it over and said, "If the general knows that you have made such a big deal, you will definitely have a fight with you."
"Just just have a fight."
Yuwen Xiaoce sighed: "I have no choice. The boss of the co-city meeting is King Xin. He has been inquiring about us for the past two years, forcing many people in our places to be exposed. If there is no sacrifice, more people will die."
He raised his wine glass and dried it in one breath.
"I'm sorry brothers."
Chang Yueyu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Yuwen Xiaoce was silent for a while and said, "I deliberately took people eastward. I will most likely meet Meng Chang'an. And I also deliberately abandoned my brothers and escaped by myself. They will be extremely resentful to me at that moment."
Yuwen Xiaoce poured a glass of wine this time and drank it all in one go.
"Their resentment will cause them to say what they know, and then things will be almost over."
Yuwen Xiaoce was confused: "I betrayed my brothers."
Chang Yueyu's face turned pale: "You"
Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I know that you will start to hate me when you hear these words, but I must expose a large number of people for the court to see and the emperor to see. In this way, more people can be saved and the general's subsequent plans can be carried out smoothly."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Xue Huayi is going to Gyeonggi Province. We can't let him expose it, so before that, cut off all the lines, except what you and I have in our hands, and all the other external lines are cut off."
Chang Yueyu said: "I have never said anything about the thousands of people in Dakai Mountain. I am even cooperating with you. In order to stabilize the hearts of those thousands, I have left my brother there as the leader."
He was stunned for a moment after saying this, and then suddenly cried: "What qualifications do I have to say to you? I am the same person as you, we have all changed."
Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I know what you think. The people in Dakai Mountain are all the water bandits we have recruited over the years. If they die, they will die. It is not worth worrying too much, but there are still hundreds of people who have fallen into it that we have trained over the years.
Your own people.”
He let out a long sigh: "But if we don't do this, the people in Dakaishan would not believe that after Xue Huayi arrived, our major events have just begun. At this time, we cannot find out all the things we have worked hard for for many years by the court."
Chang Yueyu then let out a breath and nodded: "I know, you feel sad too."
Yuwen Xiaoce directly grabbed the wine pot and poured it in.
After putting down the wine pot, he was silent for a while and said, "Old Chang, go back to see the general first, tell the general about the incident in detail. I still have something to do, but I can't go back."
"What else are you going to do?"
Chang Yueyu said: "You are in danger now."
"The people who have the Tianji ticket number in Chong'an County have not been dealt with yet."
Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I will go to you after I deal with these people. In front of the general, I have to apologize myself."
Chang Yueyu uttered: "Do you need me to do anything else?"
"You should comfort the general after you go back and don't go out. After waiting for the news of this period, you will talk about it. There is nothing else to explain. Take care of yourself."
"good."
Chang Yueyu got up: "I'll go back tomorrow morning, be careful."
"Um."
Yuwen Xiaoce nodded. When Chang Yueyu was about to go out, he couldn't help saying again: "If the general scolds me, you don't have to explain it to me. Just scold me. If you scold me a few more, the general will feel better and you will feel better."
"I"
Chang Yueyu sighed softly and opened the door and left.
A moment later, the door was pushed open from outside, and a middle-aged man in a long gown stepped in, looked at Yuwen Xiaoce who was lying on the table, and curled his lips: "I thought that a person like you would be pretending to be sad."
Yuwen Xiaoce looked up and looked at him. There were tears in his eyes, and there was no sadness. The guilty, panic and sadness in his eyes seemed to have never appeared before.
"Sit down and talk."
Yuwen Xiaoce pointed to the opposite side of him.
The middle-aged man turned around and closed the door. He sat down opposite Yuwen Xiaoce and said, "Before Lord Xue comes, everyone must be resolved. This case is now. If no one dies, the court will not be able to relax. People like the emperor cannot be alert at all. You know all of this. Lord Xue means that he believes you can do a good job. Although I don't believe it, Lord Xue says he believes you, and I am willing to be honest with you."
"clear."
Yuwen Xiaoce nodded: "Geng Yuan, you are Lord Xue's confidant. You put your future on Lord Xue. I am General Xue's confidant. General Xue also puts the big things on Lord Xue. So you should know how difficult the choice I made is. You have nothing to doubt me."
"OK."
Geng Yuan nodded: "Mr. Xue won't misunderstand me. After you arrange the matter, wait for Lord Xue's summons and don't cause trouble."
"Um."
Yuwen Xiaoce took a deep breath again and then smiled: "But it's true that so many people died, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Geng Yuan pressed forward and said, "Really?"
Yuwen Xiaoce shrugged: "Really, it's a good thing not to get rid of those dregs."
His fingers gently hit the table: "It's not worth my sadness for too long."
