The calm lake surface was like a broken mirror, and suddenly it became commotion. A civilian boat leaked, and the Taiping soldiers in the boat became restless. The bottom of the boat was still leaking, and it was impossible to maintain balance.
"Wow!"
The boat was upside down on the lake, and the Taiping soldiers on the boat fell into the water and kept flopping around.
This ship seemed to have lit a fuse.
Immediately afterwards, civilian boats capsized one after another, and they were all like bowls upside down in the water. The Taiping soldiers who were waiting in full formation were splashing in the water, and the guns in their hands had long been thrown away. The soldiers who knew how to swim hurriedly
Avoid crowded places to avoid being squeezed into the water. Soldiers who don't know how to swim roar and writhe.
It's a pity that if these soldiers are allowed to flop around, they are doomed to an inescapable outcome.
Li Xiucheng was extremely nervous, but still looked calm.
He can't mess up, he doesn't dare to mess up. Once he messes up his position, the rowing soldiers will lose their composure.
"General, there are too many people in the boat and it is starting to sink."
The soldier manning the boat suddenly shouted loudly, with a slight tremor in his voice. Li Xiucheng rolled his eyes, looked at the generals and soldiers sitting on the boat, and shouted: "Jump down, jump down!" Li Xiucheng even drew his sword.
Point to the soldiers beside you and order them to dive, thereby reducing the load on the boat.
At the most critical moment, Li Xiucheng only thought about his own life.
"thump!!"
One by one, the soldiers were forced to jump into the water and quickly swam away.
The weight in the boat was reduced and it immediately floated a lot higher.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Hurry up, accelerate quickly." Li Xiucheng could not control the other soldiers who fell into the water. Even though he was full of strategies, he could not think of a way to rescue him and could only flee blindly.
Yang Banhou looked at the Taiping soldiers who fell into the water and ordered: "Commander, give the order to shoot."
Lu Shaochuan said: "Commander, please capture these people."
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "The soldiers under Li Xiucheng's command are elite. It would be a pity to kill them. He ordered all the ships to retreat to the surrounding areas and disperse to the edge of the shore of Half Moon Bay, waiting for the Taiping soldiers who fell into the water to come ashore and then capture them.
."
Yang Banhou frowned and said, "If that's the case, it would be easy for Li Xiucheng to escape like a fool."
Li Zhen shook his head.
Catch it." At this point, Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan and ordered: "Send a message to the people underwater and ask them to get close to Li Xiucheng's boat."
"Yes!" Lu Shaochuan said loudly.
Li Zhen ordered again: "Bring me my gun!"
Immediately, the soldier brought Li Zhen's sniper rifle over.
Li Zhen took the gun, loaded it, and said: "Marquis Ban, there are four soldiers manning the boat on which Li Xiucheng is. We shot the soldiers manning the boat, and the bottom of the boat is leaking, so Li Xiucheng must have fallen into the water."
Yang Banhou said: "Commander, I will shoot the two on the left, and the one on the right belongs to you."
Li Zhen nodded in agreement, stood on the boat, and aimed his gun at the soldiers who were still paddling forward.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two gunshots were heard one after another, and the soldiers manning the boat tilted their heads and fell onto the boat.
Li Xiucheng was suddenly startled, and turned around to find Li Zhen and Yang Banhou shooting. However, Yang Banhou did not shoot him. He must have wanted to capture him. Li Xiucheng was horrified and hurriedly shouted: "Yang Banhou
If you want to kill the soldier manning the boat, you can't let him succeed. Fight back, fight back quickly." After a pause, Li Xiucheng asked people to throw the dead soldiers on the boat into the lake, and another soldier paddled forward.
There were forty people on Li Xiucheng's boat. After diving, only thirteen people remained.
In addition to the four boat operators, there were nine other people.
Li Xiucheng asked the others to shoot back, but the boat was swaying and unable to stand still. The bullets fired were flying randomly without any accuracy. Such a counterattack has no other purpose except to waste bullets.
At this time, two more gunshots were heard. Two soldiers who specialized in manning the boat fell to the ground and lost their breath. This situation put Li Xiucheng on the verge of collapse.
Throwing the two soldiers manning the boat into the lake, Li Xiucheng asked the two soldiers to row forward.
The people who operate the boats are all soldiers who don't know how to row.
"Crack!"
One of the soldiers' oar broke and was broken, leaving only three soldiers to steer the boat forward.
The civilian ship lost its balance and was unable to move forward at full speed. It swayed and could capsize at any time. Continuous gunshots rang out, and more and more soldiers died. In less than three minutes, only Li Xiucheng was left on the ship.
.Without the rowers and the people covering the holes in the bottom of the boat, Li Xiucheng's boat slowly sank.
Li Xiucheng felt desolate when he saw that the other party only refused to kill him. There were more and more holes in the boat, getting bigger and bigger. Li Xiucheng gritted his teeth, threw away the gun in his hand, and jumped forward with all his strength, and actually jumped in
into the water.
"Wow!"
Li Xiucheng fell into the water, slid his arms and swam toward the shore.
Seeing this, Yang Banhou smiled and said: "Commander, Li Xiucheng has not given up yet!"
Li Zhen laughed and said: "No matter how he flops, it's all a pointless struggle."
Lu Shaochuan chuckled and said even more shamelessly: "With the navy under my command dispatched, not to mention one Li Xiucheng, even ten Li Xiucheng will not be able to escape."
The three of us talked and laughed happily.
Li Xiucheng was swimming forward desperately. When he stretched his legs, he suddenly felt that his left and right feet were being grabbed. A strong force came and pulled him back. Li Xiucheng could no longer swim, his head could not come out of the water, and his mouth and nose were intruding.
In the water, Li Xiucheng drank several sips of lake water in a row, which made Li Xiucheng's face turn red, his ears swollen, and his eyes bulging out.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and Li Xiucheng's head hurt and he fainted.
…
When Li Xiucheng woke up again, he was no longer in Half Moon Bay. When he opened his eyes, his vision was still a little blurry, and he found that the surroundings were pitch black and the air was filthy.
"Cough! Cough!"
Li Xiucheng coughed a few times and his vision gradually recovered.
Only then did Li Xiucheng see the situation clearly.
The place he was in was not a fragrant and warm room, but a cold cell. An eerie and cold atmosphere lingered in the cell, making Li Xiucheng feel cold in his heart. Li Xiucheng looked down and found that he had changed into a prisoner's clothes.
. He stood up and strode to the cell. He looked around for a while but found no generals or soldiers under his command.
"Someone, someone, come!"
Li Xiucheng grabbed the cell door, kept shaking the cell door, and shouted at the top of his lungs. At this moment, Li Xiucheng was no longer the high-spirited general, but a panicked prisoner.
After a while, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the officer guarding the cell came over.
