Chapter 388: Attack on the River (4)
There was no sign on the bow, and there was no one standing on the deck.

Their boats are black all over, so they are hard to spot if you look at them at night.The hull of the boat was also smaller than that of Muxiang and the others, and a flag was hung on the mast. It was too far away to see what was embroidered on the flag.

Both He Liancheng and Mu Xiang noticed something was wrong, He Liancheng stood at the bow of the boat, his figure was as majestic as a mountain.

"Send the order, the whole ship is on alert!" The thick and powerful voice, with super penetrating power, shows the king's arrogance.

"alert!"

"River Pirates! That's a river pirate ship," Da Fei's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted loudly.He is not afraid, but excited.

"How do you know it's a river pirate ship?" Mu Xiang asked him.

Da Fei was proud, "Aside from the fact that the hull is black, did you see that the long ladder they built beside the boat is called a telescopic ladder. After being stretched, the length can reach more than ten meters, which is enough for light-bodied people to step over."

His guess was affirmed by He Liancheng, "It is indeed a river pirate boat. Their hull is light and narrow, so they are very fast when sailing. The rumored biggest river pirate on the Nu River—the Dragon Gang, this Wang Zheng wants to meet them!"

Wu Qing was also a little surprised when his master mentioned that the swimmers were from the Dragon Gang. He knew that Mu Xiang didn't understand, so he took advantage of the general's deployment and told Mu Xiang the ins and outs of the Dragon Gang.

The rise of the Swimming Dragon Gang took place only in the last few years. In just a few years, they were able to quickly annex other big and small river bandits, and sit on the throne of the number one pirate in Nu River. This kind of strength is not easy.

There are not many rumors about the Dragon Gang.They acted strangely, robbed passing merchant ships, and only appeared at night. Everyone covered their faces.

When their ship leaves the robbed ship, it will soon merge into the black mist, truly coming and going without a trace.

Since he is a robber, there must be murder.But they only killed those who resisted, and threw them directly into the Nujiang River. For those who were timid and dare not move, they let them live. This is also considered a robber!

After listening to Mu Xiang, she was noncommittal.She is not a kind person, and she has no extra compassion.

Regardless of what the Dragon Gang was like before, the fact that they dare to stop this boat today only shows that their purpose is not pure.

He Liancheng's expression remained unruffled, "He An, Lao Qi, you two go back to the cabin and protect Mu Lang and Cai Yun, do you know what to do?"

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Lao Qi took the order, and did not follow his master's life and death like some hidden guards did.He knew that at this time, blocking his worries was the most important thing.

"Be careful, if something happens, let me know immediately, don't be brave," Mu Xiang said behind Lao Qi.

Lao Qi nodded slightly, he knew very well that the two babies in the house were very important to Mu Xiang, and Mu Xiang was the life of his master, so he would protect Mu Lang and Cai Yun even if he risked his life.

He An knew that he couldn't help outside, so he obediently followed Lao Qi into the cabin.

Soon, the boat was getting closer and closer, but there was still no one on the deck, it was empty.

The whole boat, like a ghost, moved towards them.

On He Liancheng's face facing the cold wind, there was a faint smile that was colder than ice and snow, as if it would disappear when the wind blows.

Under everyone's gaze, the black boat gradually approached.

Just a distance away, it suddenly stopped moving, standing still in the middle of the river.

Wu Qing sneered, and shouted at the other party, "Pretend to be a ghost, you will inevitably have to fight, hide your head and tail, is it interesting?"

Yan Zhong stood in front of his master tightly, holding the sword in his hand tightly, his eyes fixed on the opposite boat.

After Wu Qing shouted, the people on the boat still didn't move.

Suddenly, He Liancheng closed his eyes, "Be careful!" At the same moment, he grabbed Mu Xiang and wrapped her in a cloak.

The body rotated on the spot, and the wide cloak, like an iron wall, tightly protected Mu Xiang's body.

Mu Xiang, who was wrapped in a cloak, could only hear the sound of clanking landing and the clanging of swords, which were dense and swift.

"Go to Dunjia!" He Liancheng's voice was still as calm as a mountain.

Wu Qing took the opportunity to retreat to the side of the boat, picked up a few dunjia, and threw them to the crowd.

Mu Xiang secretly scolded the people on the pirate ship for being unscrupulous, and hiding in the cabin, not pretending to be mysterious, but to engage in arrow rain attacks.

It would be great if they had a giant crossbow on this ship, swords couldn't carry out long-range attacks at all.

With dunjia, the rain of arrows is useless.After a while, it stopped.

There were no casualties on He Liancheng's side, and none of them were ordinary people. If they couldn't even stop a rain of arrows, they wouldn't be able to stand by He Liancheng's side.

"Good! Good! Good skill, worthy of being the God of War of the Southern Jin Kingdom, I don't know if you can stop what's coming!"

A sneering and weird voice came from the pirate ship.Only voices were heard, but no one was seen.

"Whether you want to resist or not depends on the king's mood, prepare, erect the iron thorn," He Liancheng ordered coldly.

"Stand up the iron thorn!" Yan Zhong shouted towards the rear.

With the sound of iron chains and gears rubbing against each other, the black iron thorn that Mu Xiang saw in Biancheng stood up on the bow again.

He Liancheng looked coldly at the empty boat opposite, waved his hand, "Crash!"

After receiving the order, the boat under their feet turned the rudder with all their strength, and rammed towards the pirate ship at full speed.

Vaguely, there seemed to be panic, noise, and panic on the opposite ship.

The two ships are relatively close to each other, and there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to avoid it.There was a bang, and the ship shook violently, and everyone's bodies leaned forward one after another under the effect of inertia.

He Liancheng embraced Mu Xiang and waved to Wu Qing lightly.

Wu Qing, Yan Zhong and the others took advantage of the collision of the two ships and flew over, dodging into the cabin of the pirate ship.

After the shaking, the two boats approached each other in the water.

He Liancheng's dark iron thorns did not penetrate into the hull of the pirate ship, and at the moment of contact, the iron thorns were slid away.

"The hull of their ship is painted with copper oil," He Liancheng concluded after seeing it.
