Chapter 193 Water Battle
Less than ten people dare to fight against hundreds of tartars? If this is on the plain, it will definitely seek its own death. However, in this dense reeds, no matter how many people there are, they can't charge together. On the contrary, Li Bosheng, who is familiar with the reeds, can fully give full play to his advantages.
If you meet a large group of enemies, you will run away along the familiar waterway. If you meet a single ship, you will fight quickly and destroy all the Tartars. In this way, the Tartars are cut off layer by layer like potatoes.
This is Li Bosheng's tactics.
Now, the first boat was found in front of me, which was the same boat as this one. Just after a section of reeds and turning another corner, we can meet.
"Leave one person to row, and the rest are all hidden in the cabin." Li Bosheng said.
After saying that, everyone got into the cabin, leaving only one person rowing.
"Wo, wao." The oars rowed and stirred up ripples. On this quiet morning, everything seemed so natural.
"Ga, Ga." As the ship sailed, the wild ducks in the reeds flew to the sky and turned their heads. The two boats in the reeds were about to meet.
"Hey, in front, come here!" The tartars on the ship here have begun to greet.
They were trapped in the reeds last night. They walked around in the reeds overnight. In anger, the two boatmen were killed by them. However, they could not row or catch fish. They had been hungry all night. Now, they saw a fishing boat coming in front of them, very high. Xing.
Since the boat in front of it can drive in the reeds, it means that the boatman on this ship must be familiar with the waterway here. With him leading the way, it will be very simple for these people to go out again.
Looking at the man who paddles, looking at his bronze face, his thick arms, and the hat hanging on his back, there is no flaw at all. He is just an ordinary fisherman.
"Hurry up, come here!" The tartar on the boat couldn't wait. He pointed a bow and arrow at him and forced him to lean over quickly.
I was worried that there was no reason to approach him. The other party was so generous that Li Bosheng gave a look at the oarsman in the cabin. He would like it and slowly rowed the boat and leaned over.
"Are you the boatman here? Why is this waterway so difficult to walk? Come on, take us out!" The tar shouted to the boatman.
"Yes, sjun." He answered, rowing hard, and the small fishing boat slowly approached.
The tars over there did not know that a disaster was coming. When they saw the boat in front of them approaching obediently, they put down their bows and arrows, waited for the other party to come over, jumped on the other party's boat, and left this damn place.
The two boats were getting closer and closer, but the oarsman suddenly accelerated the speed of rowing. When the wood pulp fell into the water, he pulled it hard, and the boat swayed out.
"Deng!" The bow of the ship hit the other party's ship fiercely.
"Ah!" A tartar didn't stand firm, and he didn't expect that the other party would be so sloppy that he would bump into him, "Puff!" It fell into the water.
"Give it to Xigu!" Another tar began to curse and bent down to look at his companion who fell into the water.
"Wh, thuff." Suddenly, a few arrows were shot from the other party's cabin. The distance was so close that they could hardly react and were shot. Two climbed in the bow of the boat, and the other two fell into the water, staining the river red.
Silence, death-like silence, only the tartar who fell into the water was still struggling, fluttering in the water, trying to climb to the boat.
"Let's get on the boat!" A young man said.
"No, wait a minute!" Li Bosheng held a crossbow and did not dare to be careless at all. Just now, he shot a total of four tartars, and one fell into the water. However, according to Pan's analysis just now, there are at least a dozen tartars on this ship, so the rest may still be hidden in the cabin.
Cat and mouse? I don't have time to play with you! Li Bosheng waved to the oarsman behind him and asked him to retreat.
The oars were backhanded, and the ship began to retreat. The two boats pulled away.
Suddenly, several people ran out of the cabin opposite. They took a bow and raised arrows, ready to fight back.
When he collided just now, he hit the other party's hull with his own bow, forming a T-shaped shape. Li Bosheng took people and shot arrows at them from the cabin, and the people hiding in the cabin had to come out of the cabin to fight back.
Just now, a round of arrow rain reimbursed several tars in the bow of the boat. They were not fools. They rushed out and could only become live targets. Therefore, they waited in the cabin. When the other party jumped on the boat, they immediately fought back and caught the other party unprepared. However, they were not equal. Instead of boarding the ship, the other party was about to run away, so they hurried out of the cabin and shot arrows with bows.
Waiting at this time, without Li Bosheng's words, everyone's continuous crossbows shot at the other party quickly, and the few tars that rushed out had turned into hedgehogs before they filled the bow.
I'm not reconciled. I'm a Mongolian warrior, but I was easily eliminated by several southerners.
"Good, clean up the battlefield!" Li Bosheng said.
Then everyone slowly stood up. Just now, they were in the narrow cabin and had to shoot at a staggered angle. The posture was very stiff. They moved their bodies and walked to the other party's boat.
There are a total of nine tars. At this time, they are all lying on the boat and in the water.
Everyone happily threw the body of the tar into the water, and the ship was captured.
When I came to the stern of the ship, I saw two boatmans, each of whom had been stabbed and killed. They shook their heads, ready to push the body into the water.
Pan took a look, and she recognized that the two dead people, who had a very good relationship with her husband, were fishing partners together.
"Wait a minute." She shouted, "Can I take these two people back to the burial?"
Everyone looked up at the woman.
Forget it, do the good things to the end, let her take them away! Li Bosheng thought that this person was also a person of love.
"Carry these two bodies to her ship." Li Bosheng said. I just borrowed her boat just now. Now, with this boat, I don't have to bother her anymore.
"From here, at the first intersection, turn left, turn right at the second intersection, third, turn right, fourth, turn left." Li Bosheng said to her, "Turn eight times in turn, and you should be able to go out." It is almost to the periphery, and the order of the waterway is very clear. Of course, the order of going out and the order of coming in are not exactly the same. For example, turn right when going out, but when entering, if you turn left, it is likely that it is another road. Only when you are fully familiar with the distribution of reeds can you be like a fish. When she got the water, Li Bosheng pointed the waterway to her and didn't worry that she would come back.
"What? Do you want to drive me away?" Pan asked. .
"Yes, we can just use this boat. You just saw it. After the fight, it's too dangerous. You'd better leave quickly!" Li Bosheng said.
"No, I can't go." Pan's voice was not loud, but he was very firm: "You just promised me to let me fight the tars with you. The gentleman can't be wordless. Secondly, even if I go out, do you think I can get rid of those tars? Third, the ship is full of tartars, but most of the boatmen on the ship know me. I don't want to see them killed by you, and they are also forced.
"Then what should I do? Every ship with a tartar is an enemy. On the battlefield, there is only an enemy in my eyes. Li Bosheng said.
"Wh, th, thuff!" Suddenly, several arrows flew over.
It's really a mantis catching cicadas. After the yellow finch, it was attacking others just now. Now, in a blink of an eye, it has become other people's prey.
Fortunately, these people were all agile young men. They immediately threw themselves on the boat, and all the arrows were empty.
Li Bosheng also crawled at the bottom of the boat and raised his head. There was another boat in front of him, which was coming towards him. As they walked forward, they shot arrows.
What should I do? Li Bosheng's brain turned quickly, but he didn't know how to get out of trouble.
"Shi Laoer, Shi Laosan, your eldest brother was killed by the tars. How can you work for the tars? We have killed dozens of tars. Follow us and do it together!" Pan suddenly shouted loudly.
The two boatmen who were rowing on the boat suddenly stopped for a moment. They heard that the person shouting on the boat in front of them was Pan, who was fishing like himself. Yesterday, her man was killed by the Tatars because he scratched a word. Although they were angry, they did not dare to complain at all and were unarmed. Iron, how to fight with the tartars?
However, looking at the bodies floating on the water in front of them, they have an inexplicable excitement in their hearts. Who says that the tars are invincible? Aren't they also killed now?
Their eldest brother, who was selling fish on the shore the year before last, was killed by the tars. They did not dare to find the tars desperately, so they could only quietly collect the eldest brother's body and bury it in the chaotic grave.
Nowadays, there is no need to be afraid of the tars. The tars are invincible on land, but in the water, they are like idiots. Except for shooting arrows, they can't do anything else at all. As long as they fall into the water, they will die.
"Boating quickly!" The tartar turned around and shouted.
The two looked at the bright arrows of the tars and quickly rowed the boat.
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, you are really two bastards. You are not as good as a woman who knows how to avenge your husband. You have grown eggs in vain!" Pan continued. He said.
Although she is a woman, she floats on the water all year round and does the same hard work as a man. She has already faded the shyness of a girl. Her surname is more like a man's wife.
Hearing these two words, Shi Laosan couldn't help it anymore. He gave his second brother a look at the tartar in front of him and the water next to him.
Mr. Shi understands, and the two suddenly coincidentally, "Poof, pop!" Jump into the water.
Then the Tatars reacted. They all turned around and looked at the two boatmen who jumped into the water. They knew that it was the boatman who was running away.
However, the water is calm and there is nothing.
Where are the people?
The tars were stunned and looked for the trace of the boatman.
"Fike back!" Li Bosheng shouted that he couldn't raise his head after being beaten for so long. All this anger was vented.
"Wh, th, th, th, th!" The arrows kept flying to the opposite ship.
With the loss of the boatman, the ship has long been out of control. The Tartar feels that the ship is constantly swaying with the flow of water.
Their attention has already been focused on the ship.
Several arrows hit them mercilessly. The part hit was hot and painful. They looked down and saw that it was a sharp bamboo pole with an inch of meat.
For this kind of injury, they just thought it was tickling, and immediately pulled it out and fought back with a bow.
When the crossbow is at close range, it can exert the maximum firepower, the rate of fire is fast, and the attack is fierce. However, if the distance is more than 50 steps, it will not have much lethality. Therefore, this counterattack did not cause too many casualties for the tars.
Suddenly, the tars felt that the boat was shaking more and more. They were already on the boat and could not stand. They could only hold the boat and climb on the boat.
The shaking of the hull became more and more violent, as if it were a swing, but this swing was very uninteresting.
They feel that they can't even climb anymore. The boat is about to turn over.
"Wo!" The ship suddenly buckled upside down, and several tartars on the ship screamed and were all detained under the ship.
Under the boat, two heads were exposed. They floated on the water and gasped.
"This is like the two brothers of the historian! Come on up!" Pan shouted on the boat.
The Pan brothers swam dozens of steps and climbed onto the boat.
It turned out that after the two jumped off the boat just now, they immediately held their breath and dived to the bottom of the boat.
With the power of two people, on land, the boat can not be overturned in any case. However, when it comes to the water, you can use the power of water. The power of human beings is limited, but the power of water is infinite. Both of them are on the side of the boat, pushing the bottom of the boat hard. At the same time, they were also pushed away by the boat and pedaled a few The foot water floated up and pushed the ship again. Although the force was small, every time it increased the vibration of the ship, then the vibration of the ship would become more and more violent. Coupled with the effect of the water flow, it was also impacting the ship. As a result, the two abruptly overturned the ship.
Both of them are very good hands with the surname of water. If they are ordinary people, they can't last for so long. However, the two of them have been with water since they were young. It's easy to close their breath.
They got on the boat, looked at the tars struggling in the water, and smiled heartfully.
The tars are not so strong. In the water, they are so vulnerable!
Li Bosheng was also stunned. Just now, he listed these boatmans as enemies, but now, they help themselves and destroy a boat of Tatars!
"The words just now offended me a little. I hope the two brothers won't be surprised." Mr. Pan said.
"No, if it hadn't been for my sister-in-law's words to wake up the dreamer, we would still be working for our tars." Shi Laoer said.
"Come on, let me introduce you to the two brothers. This is... By the way, what's your name?" Pan asked. . After a long battle, I still don't know what his name is!
"My name is Li Bosheng. I am under the command of Brother Zhang Shicheng. I was besieged by the tars today. Thank you two brothers anyway." Li Bosheng said.
"Where, you're welcome. What, are you under Brother Zhang Shicheng?" Shi Laosan suddenly reacted, "Is it Zhang Shicheng who killed the salt field and killed the rich to help the poor?"
I have been at the base for too long. I didn't expect that the eldest brother was so famous outside? Li Bosheng was a little proud: "Indeed, that's my eldest brother."
Shi Laoer and Shi Laosan looked at each other, and both of them bowed down: "Our brothers have wanted to follow Zhang Shicheng for a long time. There has been no way out. Today, Brother Bosheng is bothering us!"
" OK, no problem." Li Bosheng said that now that the eldest brother is using people, these two people must be the talents that the eldest brother needs.
Zhang Shicheng beat down the salt farm, beat the tars, lifted the household registration restrictions, and punished the rich. These news have spread in Gaoyou. The fishermen are looking forward to Zhang Shicheng to fight quickly and join the Rebel Army. Now, the two of them are satisfied with being able to join his men.
Pan was also stunned. She also heard about the salt farm. Unexpectedly, this group of people were Zhang Shicheng's subordinates. What a coincidence.
The tars on the lake have all sank. When they float up again, they will be soaked bodies.
"Let's go and continue to fight the tartars." Li Bosheng said.
Two ships, one after the other, sailed to the depths along the reeds in the curved area.
Using the sudden attack, several ships of tartars trapped in the reeds since last night have been eliminated again. The reeds have become clean.
Li Bosheng was more puzzled. Looking at the head, it was already Si Shishi. Didn't this tar want to come to Desheng Lake to destroy the eldest brother's base? Why don't you come in?
Nasuledin and Baotong are in a dilemma at this moment.
I wanted to make a sneak attack at night, but I didn't expect that the reeds seemed to be endless, revealing secrets everywhere. I went into dozens of boats last night, and I wanted to find a way, but I didn't expect that I just went in a few turns and found the way out. It took a lot of twists and turns until dawn. There are still lost boats coming out, but there is no news about seven or eight boats. What are they doing? I don't know.
Fighting on the water is not the same as on the land. If there are cavalry galloping on the land, they are invincible. However, on this blue lake and on this swaying boat, I really feel that there is countless strength all over my body, but I can't exert it.
"Abu, the child wants to take someone to explore the way again, but I don't believe it. I can't find the other party's base." Bao Tong said.
"Bao Tong, this reed is very simple. If you go rashly, I'm afraid you will fall into it and can't get out." Nassedin said.
Nasulakedin is also very unwilling. This is like a large plate of braised pork in front of you, but it has just been served from the pot. If you want to eat it, you have to be hot, don't eat it, and you will be greedy.
Several fishermen who have caught fish in this lake, even said that they never dare to go to the reeds in the lake to fish. The reeds inside are too complicated. As long as they go in, they can't get out.
You have to think of a way to do the best of both worlds!
