On both sides of the river northwest of Jinling City, there were two naval camps of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the northern and southern naval camps. On the wide river, naval warships of the Southern Tang Dynasty patrolled by from time to time, checking passing ships to guard against water pirates or peeping at the naval camps of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The spies from the camp infiltrated.
After nightfall, the navy patrol vessel on duty hung a special signal wind light on the bow, rocked out of the water village, and rushed into the fast-flowing river. The person in charge of patrol today was 20 men from the 1st Battalion of the Navy.
It is a small loach boat. Each boat has a total of twenty-five oarsmen, armored men, and commanders. Each boat uses the sound of lights and gongs as a signal. After entering the river, it begins to patrol each section.
On the river surface facing each other in the north and south water villages, every ten feet away, there are special floating lanterns floating on the turbulent river surface. They float with the mighty river water, appearing as dark as ink on the river surface at night.
Extraordinarily magnificent.
Yin Jiu, the commander of the 1st Marine Battalion, stood on the bow of the biggest loach boat in the center of the row, fully armed and armed with a gun. He pressed his frozen lips, spitted, and cursed secretly.
In the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, who has nothing to eat and is full, and would cross the river in the middle of the night? The treason case of the monks of Qixia Temple, which was causing a stir in Jinling City a few days ago, has just come to an end. Those monks died and escaped.
He escaped, and a thousand-year-old temple was destroyed like this. It was Yin Jiu's turn to be on duty those days, and he was almost beaten to death by a fierce monk. Fortunately, he was smart and quickly jumped into the cold
Jiang Shui gave up the boat to the monk and saved his life.
This time when the Southern Tang Dynasty went to war with the Chu State, the 20,000 navy troops originally stationed in the north and south water villages of Jinling were also transferred to Ezhou. Now, the troops in Jinling City were empty, and wars continued in all directions. The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty issued an order,
Strict vigilance is in place in the capital, especially along the river, where more attention is needed.
In weather like this, the North and South Water Village Camps still need to dispatch a battalion of water troops to patrol and guard the river every day.
Yin Jiu stood on the bow of the boat, directing the oarsmen to swim along the center of the river at a constant speed. The special signal wind light was hung high on the wind pole on the bow of the boat. The water surface of the river within a dozen feet away was within sight.
Suddenly, a soldier under his command shook Yin Jiu, who was lost in thought, and reported in a low voice: "Commander, look quickly, there seems to be something there!"
Yin Jiu came back to his senses, suddenly trembled, and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. Sure enough, there was something floating down the river on the dark river surface.
Yin Jiu raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Sign the signal to signal the brothers behind you to stay alert and row over to take a look!"
The loach boat circled in the middle of the river, turned around and rowed quickly towards the floating object. This kind of loach boat was the most efficient and convenient for traveling on the river. All the southern countries equipped their navies with a large number of them.
.
Strange to say, the floating object was about fifteen or sixty feet away from their loach boat, but after talking for a while, it didn't float downward at all, and it still stayed there and swayed in the water.
When the loach boat was almost rowing in front of the black floating object, Yin Jiu suddenly discovered this problem. He was shocked and just about to shout out, when he suddenly felt a pain in his throat, and a needle-shaped dart had already passed through his throat!
At the same time, before the soldiers on the ship could react, more than twenty needle-shaped darts mysteriously cut through the cold air at almost the same time, penetrating the throats of everyone on the loach ship!
The person who fired this dart has such exquisite skills that it is simply unpredictable!
About twenty people were about to fall down and fall into the water, but three figures suddenly jumped onto the boat. The three people strangely shuttled back and forth on the loach boat, righted all the twenty-five corpses, and sat on the boat.
I only heard a low voice saying: "Oh no, my lord, look! There are more than a dozen loach boats on both sides. They must have sent contact signals just now. We only focused on killing people, but we forgot to leave one alive. Ask
How to communicate this signal!"
"Hey, what's wrong? Just follow the same pattern and kill all the loach boats! At this time, it's impossible to rely on the trick of fishing in troubled waters and get through. If my estimate is correct, there are at least three warning signs on the river.
.We can only use thunderous means to destroy this group of patrolling navy first, so that they can't figure out our specific situation, and then we can disrupt their navy's battle situation. Otherwise, once we fall into their navy formation, we will have no choice but to fight.
With so much slaughter, there is no chance of escape!"
"I think what the elder brother said makes sense." Another figure said affirmatively.
These three figures were Kang Long, Li Cunba and Ma Benlei. Kang Long took back all the diamond needle darts he used to penetrate the twenty-five Southern Tang navy, quickly wiped off the blood on them, and looked behind him
The second loach boat was about ten feet away. The second loach boat did not receive the order and did not dare to come forward. The wind lantern on the wind pole on the bow kept rising and falling. It seemed that it was asking the lead boat.
Inquiry.
"Cun Ba, you are on this boat and keep raising and lowering the signal light on the wind pole to attract the attention of other loach boats. Ben Lei, you and I will quickly eliminate the other boats. Time is tight and it is impossible to continue
Just like dealing with this ship, we only need to scuttle the other ships and let them sink into the river, the same thing! Let’s go!”
Kang Long had a ruthless look on his face and collected all the spears, lances, and broadswords on the ship. He gave half to Ma Benlei and took half with him. There were about ten spears, five spears, and two broadswords.
appearance.
The two looked far into the river. The two nearest loach boats were about ten feet away from them. The signal lights on the wind poles were like fireflies in the dark, and their positions were very clear.
The twenty loach boats of this naval patrol battalion were lined up in a trapezoidal shape on the river, and they were constantly patrolling upstream and downstream. The leading loach boat that Kang Long and the others had just intercepted was on the river.
Therefore, Kang Long and Ma Benlei, one of them headed north and the other south, unleashed all their Xuan Gong energy and soared towards the two nearest loach boats.
At this time, Kang Long had already put on a full set of King of War armor. With the help of the armor's unique structure, his whole body's cultivation reached the realm of a grand master, and he soared at full speed. Apparently, he had surpassed the soaring force of Xuan Gong.
The furthest distance can reach the limit of ten feet.
Kang Long jumped five or six feet into the air above the first loach boat and then landed firmly on the top of the wind pole with one foot. Looking down through the signal light on the wind pole, he saw all the armored men.
Shidu was looking at the lead ship in the center and forward with a puzzled look on his face.
Kang Long secretly thought it was a good opportunity, and stepped down hard with one foot. Amidst the exclamations of the Southern Tang navy below, he poured a burst of Xuan Gong energy into the body of a spear, and threw it down hard.
The spear was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the loach boat and poking a hole the size of a bucket!
The clang of gongs sounded at the bow of the ship, and all the soldiers shouted and sounded the alarm gongs before falling into the water!
The same thing is happening on the other side!
Unfortunately, Kang Long and Ma Benlei had already used the wind pole to exchange power and flew towards the second loach boat! Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums on the river was loud, accompanied by people's exclamations and hisses.
Shouting for help, the sound was loud!
When the last two loach boats also broke through two big holes and sank to the bottom amidst the screams of the Southern Tang Navy, the screams and calls for help on the river had already shocked the Southern Tang Navy in the two water villages in the north and south!
Kang Long and Ma Benlei returned to the first loach boat. Kang Long said to Ma Benlei and Li Cunba: "You lead the fleet to the north bank. In the middle of the river, fight with the navy from the Jiangbei camp of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Fight, I will burn down the Jiangnan Camp to make them disorganized first! So that they can't see each other from the north to the south, and then we will take the opportunity to break through the blockade and buy Yuen Long and the others time to escape!"
The two of them left in response. Kang Long picked up a big knife that he snatched from an unknown ship and glanced at the backs of the two of them as they walked away, feeling uneasy for no reason in his heart.
Although these people brought out by Yuen Long knew how to operate a boat, they had never received formal battle formation training, and they did not know whether they could withstand the attack of the Southern Tang Navy.
It is useless to think too much. There is no choice between life and death. If you rush over, you will live, if you are stuck here, you will die!
Kang Long stood on the side of the loach boat at his feet, and his body flew away like an arrow from the string, towards the Jiangnan camp on the south bank of the river.
There, the lights are brightly lit, and countless ships, large and small, are gathering amidst the tense and orderly sound of drums and horns to set off!
