Chapter 392 Dive

Chapter 392

On the dark Surat River, a row of boats floated rapidly from north to south along the west bank. There is no need to paddle at all. The rapid current will rush the boat outside the east wall of the city of Gozhou. On the contrary, outside the city wall, you need to hold the hull with a bamboo pole to prevent the boat from drifting too far down the stream.

Song Nan and Wang Yong sat on the first ship and stared at the dark river bank, looking for the marks left last night. Soon they found two dead branches inserted in the cracks in the rocks on the shore last night. Song Nan waved his hand, and the eight people on the boat overturned to the right at the same time, and the boat with them instantly turned to the sky.

However, seeing the bubbles gurgling, the bottom-facing boat slowly sank. The eight people under the boat held the wooden strips on both sides of the boat in their hands. As the boat sank, the soles of their feet also touched the bottom of the river.

The underwater water flow was slightly slow, but even so, it still hit everyone's body, but as they were down-to-earth, everyone's bodies gradually stabilized. Song Nan came out of the bottom of the water, and there was already a rapid gasp in the dark cabin. Song Nan asked in a low voice, "Are all people coming in?"

"Your Excellency, we are all here." Everyone replied with a lot of words.

Song Nan was relieved and felt that there was a gap in the cabin, and the air inside was enough for nine people to breathe for a while.

"Stabilize first and wait for me to cut the iron fence." Song Nan shouted in a low voice, and the sound was particularly loud in the narrow space.

Everyone answered in a low voice. Song Nan took a breath and dived into the water, reached forward to touch the iron fence, pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut it randomly on the railing, cut more than a dozen rusty iron fences, and then turned the railing hard into it to make a big hole enough for the boat to pass; oxygen in the chest Exhausted of breath, he quickly turned around and came out of the cabin and took a big breath.

Wang Yong in the rear asked, "Your Excellency, have you cut it?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's broken. The dagger carried by Eunuch Zhang is really powerful. It cuts iron like mud. Follow me and we have to go inside."

Everyone was nervous, followed Song Nan's footsteps, stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river, and walked into the dark canal like a tortoise shell-like boat walking in space. The surroundings were as dark as thick ink. The bow of the boat vibrated, obviously hit something, and the people staggered.

Song Nan quickly turned the direction of the bow. This time, the bow smoothly entered the fence hole. As soon as he entered it, he suddenly felt that the surrounding water had no impact and he could stand steadily. Song Nan was overjoyed and took everyone to the depths.

The dark canal has been too long. Although there are iron fences to prevent large objects from entering, rotten grass, rotten branches and leaves and other things will still accumulate in. Although the bottom of the dark canal is paved with slate, there is a foot-high rotten mud and debris on it. After stepping on it, gas gurgled along the necks of the people to the bottom of the boat. In the gap.

Song Nan was horrified. These gases are rotten and contain a lot of toxins. She didn't expect that something would happen in this section beforehand. She was nervous, sweating on her head, and her mind was a little confused.

The breathing of the people behind him was also obviously short. Song Nan shouted, "Brothers, speed up, the air is not enough."

said to speed up, but it was not easy to walk in the water. I bumped all the way. I only felt that the time was extremely long, and there was still no exit of the dark canal. Song Nan felt that the boat was getting heavier and heavier, and the move forward was getting slower and slower. She hurriedly asked, "What happened later?"

Wang Yong's weak voice came and said intermittently, "Your excellency... is weak."

Soong Nan said, "Where are the others?"

After a long silence, Wang Yong shouted, "Li Laojiu, Chen Gouwa, the governor asked, how are you?"

Still silent, Song Nanteng touched his hand back, and the head of the soldier behind him had drooped. Between his mouth and nose, there was still some breath, and his hands were also tightly holding the wooden strips beside the boat.

Wang Yong was still shouting and asking. Song Nanqiang endured the dizziness and nausea and shouted, "Brother Wang, they are all fainted by poison gas. We must take them out. Remember, take a small breath and hold your breath. It's up to you and me."

Wang Yong gasped and said, "Yes."

Song Nan stretched out his feet and exerted his strength on the ground. Wang Yong Mao exerted his strength in the rear. The two of them worked hard in the dark and smelly dark canal like carrying a bamboo pole drying a string of dried fish.

After more than ten breaths, Song Nan's mind was confused for a while. He knew that he had no longer had the strength to move forward. He couldn't help but regret it. He subconsciously stepped forward and suddenly hit an obstacle in the bow of the boat. Song Nan was happy, pulled out a dagger from his waist, groped forward with his hand, and suddenly touched the iron fence.

is the exit, mother-of-law.

Song Nan's brain was dizzy. He cut the iron fence to pieces with all his strength and rushed forward with his boat. He only felt that the soles of his feet were empty, and the place where he stepped on his feet was empty. He was overjoyed.

The boat glided out, and Song Nan only had time to say, "Upfloating." The suffocation and lack of oxygen in his brain was serious, so he immediately let go of his hand and poked his head out of the side of the boat. He saw the glimmer on the water and could not see it clearly, but in Song Nan's eyes, it was as gorgeous and beautiful as a brilliant fireworks in the dark, so his feet continued, and his body floated out of the water.

A cool air filled my heart, and my lungs seemed to have a sweet taste. The stars flashed in the sky, and the breeze brushed the water and blew on my face. Although it was very cold, Song Nan was extremely happy.

Song Nan took a few breaths, and Wang Yong also showed his head and took a big breath. The two hurriedly worked together to turn the boat aside and drag several faint soldiers ashore. Soon after, after breathing fresh air, the soldiers gradually recovered.

At this time, Song Nan had time to take a good looked at the surrounding environment. This is an artificial pond in the city wall, about 20 feet away from the city wall. The pond is covered with long water and grass, and there are many remnants and rain coverings. There are faint lights in several houses not far away, and the surroundings are silent.

Everyone half squatted on the shore and gasped and recovered, waiting for the second boat to enter. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see them come in. Wang Yong asked worriedly, "Will they also be stunned by rotten poison gas?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The toxic gas produced by rotten things will automatically emerge from the surface and be released at a certain time. We were the first person just now. Only when we step on the rotten things will emit a large amount of poison gas. On the contrary, it is much safer. Even if the amount of toxic gas is not large, it should not endanger our lives."

While speaking, I saw bubbles surging in the dark canal, like a big fish entering the sea. It can be seen that the undercurrent brought by the boat in the dark canal surged after entering the pond, followed by the sound of water, and seven or eight heads emerged from the water, opening their mouths like dying fish. Suck.

Wang Yong was overjoyed and said, "Sure enough, it was successful."

In an hour, more than 30 boats have entered, and there are more than 300 people on the shore. The first 15 boats are all Jinyiwei's personal guard camps. These dry ducks have passed through the claustrophobic dark canal unharmed, which is particularly happy.

After three small boats came in, the city 20 feet away suddenly became full of fire, and there was a sound of early warning gongs. There was also a scolding and scolding from the city. Everyone looked at each other in consterrenly. I don't know why, Song Nan whispered Wang Yong, "Go and have a look."

Wang Yong jumped up and touched the edge of the city wall. After a moment, he turned around and reported: "The defenders in the city are shooting arrows in the face of the city. I'm afraid they have found the brothers on the river."

Song Nan frowned for a moment and gave a decisive order, "Don't wait. If the brothers outside are found out, they will soon suspect that we have an intention. We need to act quickly."

Wang Yong nodded and said, "What you said is very much, everyone is ready."

Everyone had already untied the oil cloth package on their bodies, and the blade firearm had already been taken out and waiting for the order. Hearing the words, they quickly formed a team. Wang Yong said, "Your Excellency, please order how to act."

Song Nan said, "The soldiers are divided into three roads. Ten brothers rushed to the West City to light the name, ten brothers rushed to Beicheng to light the name, and the rest of the brothers followed me to the South City."

Wang Yong quickly assigned the task. Two hundred households each took ten brothers to the north of the west of the city to ignite the name, allowing the soldiers and horses outside the city to officially attack, while Song Nan took more than 200 brothers to occupy the wall of the south city and welcome the 5,000 horses ambushed by Hou Dabiao outside the south city.

In the night, the city of Nonzhou was dead, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Most of the people were driven to the west and north of the city to help defend the city. Song Nan did not hide his body and rushed to the main street all the way south. On the way, he met several thieves patrol teams. Song Nan also directly ordered the fire brigade to bombard them without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Song Nan had reached the horizontal street not far from Nancheng and hid in the shadows. The south wall was also full of torches. It seemed that the thief soldiers did not relax their vigilance against the south gate. In the open space under the city wall, thousands of people lay together, and more than a dozen bonfires were burning in the air. Everywhere, wood and stone materials are piled up under the city. It seems that once they encounter the siege, these people will be driven to carry wood and stone to the city.

"My lord, what should I do?" Wang Yong asked.

Song Nan pointed to several exquisite tall buildings at the fork of Heng Street and whispered, "Take a few brothers to light the fire."

Wang Yong waved his hand, took several cavalry guards and rose up and disappeared into the shadow of the street corner.
