Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 Blood on the Wind ([-])
Brothers Feng Changqing and Feng Changyuan were originally bandits from the Dabie Mountains, and they set up a small village with more than a hundred people.After the Sizhou army came to Qihuang, they sent troops to conquer bandits everywhere. The two couldn't stay in the mountains, so they wanted to escape the Han River and go to Anlu to make a living.

On their way to Anlu, a group of bandits happened to meet a group of people, including men and women, old and young, about twenty people.He also brought chariots, horses and maidservants, and he looked like a family member of a rich family.

The two were trapped on the mountain for several months. They had long been desperate for poverty and decided to make another vote before leaving Huangzhou.

So, he rushed over with a whistling sound.Shouting: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. I want to pass through this place, and leave money to buy roads. Grandpas only want money, not life. If you are wise, keep your money, and you can save your life!" "

As good as death is, it is also because the two brothers were unlucky to meet An Niang, and Yue Yun was escorting the chariot and horses.

As a result, more than 100 bandits under his command were eaten raw by Yue Xiaoye with ten horsemen, and even they were captured immediately and wanted to be beheaded on the spot.

It was also Anniang who was kind-hearted. Seeing that the two of them were outstanding in martial arts and handsome, she ordered Yue Yun to keep them alive, and said: In this troubled world, all are poor people who are displaced. If they can't survive, they will take risks.

After knowing An Niang's identity, the two immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that they were willing to guard the house and run dogs for his wife.

In this way, they became Wang Shen's family.

These two are also warriors, with rich combat experience, loyal to the mistress, and hardworking legs, which are very popular with the Wang family.

I saw their brothers standing on the boat today, their waists straightened like javelins, each with a long knife pinned to their waists, they looked really majestic.

These two knives were made by the king's defense envoy looking for high-quality iron, recruiting outstanding craftsmen and spending many days and nights to forge them. They are treasures that can cut iron like mud.One is Tie Zhan and the other is Crimson Blood.Even the Tang knife in his old man's hand was returned to the furnace, with the inscription "Dacheng" printed on it.

To put it bluntly, these two are Wang Shen's sword guards.

Walking with Wu Tuo in a whistling way, it is different to have a cow passing by.As soon as the two of them stood on the boat, they had a different kind of aura, which made people feel chills.

Immediately, everyone couldn't help but lose face.

Yan Yuemeng is a literati, but he doesn't have this kind of feeling. He said with a smile: "You two generals, don't worry, you won't miss your wife's business. The nets are all down. As long as the fish goes in, it won't come out. Our sailors After accepting your benefits, I will naturally do my best."

He couldn't help laughing in his heart: the military envoy is good at everything, gentle with people, very popular with soldiers, but he likes to eat meat too much.He and Yue Xiaojun always eat meat, but if they don't see any meat, their temper will deteriorate.Defense Envoy You Xi Aquatic Products, during the month surrounding Qichun, Madam would ask someone to send a cage of fresh fish to him every three days to nourish his body.Aren't you afraid of getting angry after eating so much meat?

Feng Changyuan cupped his hands: "I don't dare to call you generals, we two brothers are just two lackeys in front of the master and wife. This batch of god arm bows was asked by General Wu Tuo for your navy, if you want to thank him, thank him Bar!"

Wu Tuo was very shy, and took Yan Yuemeng's arms that were about to bow down, and said: "I am also a person who can't rest, and I have caused a lot of trouble to your navy these days. I think your weapons here are simple and simple. I asked Madam for some, and let the two elder brothers bring them over."

Feng Changqing and Feng Changyuan came to fish and brought forty divine arm bows and a dozen sets of armor.

The divine arm bow is a military weapon, and there are many crossbowmen in Wu Tuo's army, so they naturally know how to use it. After teaching it for a day, Shui Yong finally learned how to use it.

With the magic arm bow and armor, the navy finally looks a little bit better.

Yan said that Meng was about to thank him again, when Feng Changyuan arrived at the other end: "It's late at night, let's set up a net to have a look... No, no, there seems to be something wrong."

The tone became serious: "Mr. Yan, did you send a sampan to patrol the front before, why haven't you come back yet?"

In the past, the navy also collected taxes on the river, and usually there were not many things to do.Since Wu Tuo came here to recuperate, he has restrained the troops with military laws and made them very formal.

The navy has about a hundred people, a big boat, and five or six small boats.

It's early summer at this moment, and there are luxuriant reeds growing along the river, spreading out, covering hundreds of acres, and there are many waterways fork in the middle.If outsiders go in, they won't be able to get out if they say it's not good.

If there is an enemy hiding in it, it will really catch people by surprise.

Therefore, every time a ship anchors in Dajiang Huishui Bay to rest, a fast boat will be sent five or six times into the reed marshes to patrol and guard.

Yan Yuemeng scolded: "These bastards must have gone somewhere to eat, drink, and spend money to hide their laziness. They have been out for an hour and they haven't returned. They will not be spared when the military law is over." He added: "Feng General, don't worry, it's not a big deal, after all, it's the township army, and it's still not as good as the Sizhou army."

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blows, the moonlight in the river is torn into strands, and white reed flowers are flying in the wind.

Feng Changqing shook his head suddenly: "No, I always think it's wrong. Mr. Yan, tell me, what will happen if the enemy suddenly comes out of it?"

"Kong Yanzhou is far away in Qichun, surrounded by defense envoys like a turtle in a urn. Could it be that he still flew over?" Yan said with a smile: "Although I don't know the art of war, I know it. If this is the case, if Kong Yanzhou's army suddenly kills him Now, we are afraid that we are really going to die here tonight."

While talking, the wind suddenly became stronger, and I saw the reeds in front of me swaying up and down like waves, turbulently moving.

A piece of reed flower floated over and covered his face wetly.

Yan Yuemeng stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was full of blood.

However, at some point, that reed flower was drenched with human blood.

The wind was blowing, and blood scum was flying under the lights in front of my eyes.

The blood is on the wind, and the smell of fishy smell is swaying on the river.

Suddenly, Wu Tuo jumped up suddenly as if he had been branded with a branding iron, and shouted: "Yan Yuemeng!"

Yan said to Meng: "What's wrong?"

"Enemy attack!" He shouted loudly: "According to our military regulations, I, Wu Tuo, is the highest rank in the army, and I have taken over the command of the navy. Assemble, all ships weigh anchor, row towards the middle of the river, and return to Huanggang!"

"Feng Changqing, Feng Changyuan, the two of you put on your clothes immediately, and prepare to fight as sharp fighters in the front row of our army."

"Zhiniang thief, the four brothers who went out to patrol were killed."

A piece of red reed flower floated in front of him, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and squeezed it tightly.

Hearing his yell, everyone was startled, all the boats anchored and rowed frantically towards the river.

It's a pity that the net should have been lowered, but the big boat and the two small boats connected to the fishing net were entangled together and could not move.

Suddenly a white light flashed, the thick rope connecting the fishing net was cut with a knife, and the boat moved.

This knife is really powerful, as fast as lightning, showing excellent kung fu.Feng Changyuan slowly withdrew his knife: "Go, go!"

A bunch of boats of different sizes were heading towards the center of the river, and Wu Tuo was still shouting loudly: "Don't run around, use the boat I'm on as an arrow to form a triangular wedge array. Battle after battle, water battle and land battle There is no difference. Everyone is standing on both sides of the boat strings, and the bow is stringed with the god arm. Don’t be afraid, it’s just fighting and killing people. The military envoys have supported you for many days, and now it’s time for you to show yourself!”

He and the brothers of the Feng family put on their iron armor long ago, holding big guns in their hands, roaring like thunder.

This former peasant boy has finally grown into a qualified leader.

The soldiers rushed onto the deck with their weapons in hand, stepped on the ring at the front of the crossbow, and opened their bows with a shout.

All the ships also gradually approached and formed a formation.
