Chapter 222: Turning the tide of the battle

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, the Great Song Xiang Army once again showed their weak side, even if Lin Henian on the handsome ship behind him was so anxious that he jumped to his feet again and again and shouted and scolded, the first reaction of these officers and soldiers was to turn their heads and flee, and they did not have the courage to fight a head-on battle with the enemy at all.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were in chaos, many people jumped directly from the boat into the water, and they took the opportunity to counterattack. After a few muffled sounds, several small boats were pushed into the water by them, but this time it was no longer a tool for arson, but dozens of armed bandits rushed towards the officers and soldiers, and the target they chose was the officers and soldiers on the west side of the island who had not yet been affected by the fireboats.

There were still dozens of paces away from the official warships, and the bandits had already shown their bows and arrows, shooting a shower of arrows at the already chaotic officers and soldiers, killing them with a burst of screams, and jumping directly into the water like headless flies, no longer caring about blocking these water bandits from killing them.

Only the villagers on the several warships led by Sun Tu, although they were also panicked in their hearts, they did not scatter in the voices and orders of several main generals, but raised the wooden shield that was too cumbersome before and put it in front of the ship, blocking the waves of random arrows, and then Tang Feng shouted loudly: "Let go of the arrows, don't let them approach easily!" ”

At this time, Sun Tu had already given up on continuing to cut those fishing nets that could not be cleaned up in a short period of time, and brought his men back into the boat, looking at the water bandits who were only thirty or forty people, in addition to doubts, their eyes were full of anger: "Just a few dozen people dare to launch a counterattack against our officers and soldiers, they really don't take my Jiangzhou officers and soldiers in their eyes at all!" Let them come, and I'll take their ships!" ”

Hearing his order, the village soldiers, who had long been accustomed to obeying orders, immediately stopped firing their arrows, but made the surrounding soldiers of the Xiang Army, who were a little relieved by this, startled, and asked why they did so. But Sun Tu didn't bother to explain to them at this time, stared at the small boat that was constantly approaching in front of him by the light of the fire burning around, and after calculating the distance, he suddenly shouted: "Rush with me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he sank a little at the bow of the boat, and the man had bounced high, and after passing a distance of a few feet, he had already swooped down towards a thief's boat below. Although the villagers who were in the same boat with him were far inferior in martial arts, they were also infected by the heroic performance of their own regimental training at this time, and they all shouted to kill, so they all jumped forward, but they couldn't jump so high and so far from Sun Tu, and they were still a long distance away from the enemy ship, so they had already entered the water. But these people are also very skilled in the water, and when they enter the water, they swim towards the enemy ships.

This time I really killed those water bandits by surprise, obviously these officers and soldiers in front of them have been in chaos and don't even have the courage to resist, why are there people counterattacking now. Especially Sun Tu, who was in the air, made them panic even more, and immediately two archers raised their bows and arrows and released arrows towards the falling figure.

Sun Tu was in mid-air but had already made corresponding preparations, seeing the arrows flying, he immediately swung his knife one by one, and while the two arrows were sent away, his body fell towards the bow of the boat at a faster speed, and when the others brandished knives and spears and stabbed at him, his toes had already pointed at the bow of the boat, and the person followed and curled up with a heel and turned in, and at the same time as unloading the momentum of the fall, he flashed the attacks of these people.

Then, before he could turn over and get up, the knife in Sun Tu's hand had already bloomed with a cold light, cutting down the two water bandits who happened to come to him, and fell into the water screaming. At the same time, the villagers who followed Sun Tu and jumped out of the boat had also swam to the boat, and without saying a word, they had already turned over and jumped in with the side of the boat, and the weapons in their hands were stabbed and slashed forward again and again, and they had already killed more than a dozen sailors in this boat so that they had no power to fight back, and in the screams, they fell into the river water that had been stained red with blood.

Several other thief ships that wanted to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle were also frightened when they saw this, and quickly turned around and retreated, wanting to stay away from these villagers. But at this time, dozens of other villagers were also inspired by Sun Tu and all made the same move, and they all gave up their warships, shouting and jumping into the water to kill the enemy, before these guys could row a few steps, both sides of the boat had been blocked by the villagers, and then the same number of villagers had launched a fierce attack on them, so that they could no longer free their hands to retreat.

In just a few moments, this group of bandits who wanted to fish in troubled waters were besieged and annihilated by the villagers, and their three small boats all fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers. Sun Tu felt a little better when he saw this, at least the township soldiers he brought still had the courage to confront the thieves head-on, and it was really worth his hard work in the past two months.

"What should we do next?" One of the soldiers looked at the officers and soldiers who were still in chaos around him, and asked with confusion in his heart.

Sun Tu looked at the small sandbar island in front of him, although there were still many torches, but from a distance, it was still a black and dark area, and it was impossible for people to see how many water bandits were on it. But at this time, he had a bold conjecture in his heart, and immediately put the knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Removing this great evil for Jiangzhou is today, brothers, follow me!" If you know how to swim on the island, you can jump into the water and swim to the island, and if you don't have water, you can hold the boat! With that, he jumped into the water again, and as soon as he stretched out, he headed for the island like a fish.

After a moment's hesitation, the other villagers all shouted: "Kill the thief and eliminate the harm!" He jumped into the water with a constant thud and swam towards the island in front of Sun Tu. Then some others, who were not very good at water, picked up Luda and a few others who had been watching for a long time, and followed by boat.

The choice of these township soldiers immediately stunned the already frightened van soldiers, when did these township soldiers who had always looked down on them become so heroic and brave? But marvel at the amazement, these Xiang troops did not dare to jump ship to attack the island, they were already afraid of the fierce Jiao gang because of several defeats since last year, and they had just encountered such an attack, so naturally they no longer had the slightest courage to fight back.

At this time, the reversal of the tide of the battle in the west finally affected the overall situation of the battlefield. Those Xiang troops finally burst out with a certain combat effectiveness in a desperate situation, and their own strength far exceeded that of the water bandits, so after paying the price of dozens of people being killed, they still resisted the counterattack of a small group of thieves, forming a stalemate with them.

And when the battle situation in the west suddenly changed, those water bandits were a little panicked, and they no longer cared about fighting with the officers and troops, turned around and ran back, wanting to rush back to the island to support and block.

It's a pity that at this time, the ships of the official army were either destroyed by fire, or they were still entangled in fishing nets, and they could not take the opportunity to fight back.

On the small island, those remaining bandits had also seen that there were officers and soldiers in the west who pushed back, which made them also surprised: "When did the Jiangzhou officials and soldiers dare to fight so much?" Quick, all the brothers will go to the west to defend the beachhead, and the officers and troops must not be allowed to go to the island! ”

Those bandits are too aware of the inferiority of their side in terms of troops, and if they can't rely on the convenience of the geographical and water areas to gain an advantage, I am afraid that everyone here will be wiped out by the officers and troops in this battle. Therefore, with this order, the remaining forty or fifty people on the island had already rushed towards the west of the island to kill, and greeted Sun Tu and the others who had already come to the vicinity of the island.

The rapid swimming of more than 100 steps did consume a lot of Sun Tu's strength, but after he stood on the ground with his feet, he quickly opened his legs and shouted at the bandits who came quickly: "The Great Song Jiangzhou regiment is training Sun Tu here, don't you give up your weapons and surrender quickly!" "And he has already rushed to meet it.

When the villagers who followed him heard these encouraging words, they no longer cared about the fatigue of their bodies, and shouted the same loudly, desperately rushing towards them with all their might.

The two sides collided fiercely together after a few breaths, Sun Tu took the lead in killing the enemy, and with a single swing of the knife, he slashed the head of the thief who rushed the fastest and fastest into the air, and at the same time he supported the ground with his right foot, and kicked out with all his left foot, and kicked the body of the thief who had lost his head and threw it backwards, just smashing on the two people behind him, blocking their offensive.

Before the two of them could stand firm, Sun Tu had already pounced again, and the knife in his hand had passed through their throats in a flash, and then his body flashed to the side, and at the same time as flashing the oncoming shot, the knife had already stabbed into the chest of the gun-wielding thief who was exposed because of the full force of the stab.

In just one shot, Sun Tu had killed four people in a row, their blood splashed all over his head, and with his hair and wet body that were scattered because of swimming, he was as terrifying as the evil ghost Shura in the eyes of everyone, so frightened that the others didn't dare to lean over for a while, and subconsciously retreated.

And this choice of theirs gave Sun Tu a chance to breathe, in fact, he seemed to be fierce and had no strength after killing four people in a row, and he couldn't continue to break out in a short time.

But this was enough, because at the moment when these thieves were stunned, the villagers who followed Sun Tu's footsteps to kill the island had already arrived, and the one who ran at the front was Luda, who couldn't water. He had already held his breath after seeing these obviously timid thieves in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of sparing his hand, and with a shout, he had already picked up the iron Zen staff in his hand, and he had already killed directly.

Later, hundreds of villagers under the leadership of Tang Feng fiercely slaughtered them, and in the blink of an eye, these officers and soldiers had completely swallowed up the fierce Jiaoshui bandits, who were only half of the number.

This battle was finally completely reversed with the sudden outbreak of Sun Tu and his subordinate villagers!
