Chapter 1076: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net (Page 1/1)

"Captain! Let go of the chains! There are so many rafts that we can't hold it anymore! A soldier shelled Liu Qi's side and said loudly.

Liu Qi's eyes were round, and he shouted loudly: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold on, if you kid is afraid of death, you will jump into the water, no one will stop you!" ”

The soldier hesitated, grabbed an oar and joined the group that had stretched out the raft around the boat.

It's not that the soldiers on Liu Qi's boat are not desperate enough, it's that there are too many rafts on the river. As they chained themselves across the river, more and more rafts converged in the direction of their boats.

More than 40 people on Liu Qi's boat had already gone into battle, many of them had their hair scorched, and their hands were burned with countless blisters, but they still couldn't stop the raft from approaching.

As more and more rafts grew, the chains across the water also emitted a "squeak!" Voice.

This is the sound of the iron chain reaching its limit, it is good that the iron chain with the thickness of the thumb can stop so many rafts, and it has been burned by the fire on the raft for so long, it may break at any time.

Liu Qi threw the grenade onto a raft, "Boom! With a loud bang, the raft was blown apart.

But he couldn't get any easier, and more rafts were already on board. His eyes couldn't help but look in the direction behind him, the cannon sound was rumbling here, and Xipingbao should have reacted.

Suddenly, "Boom! With a crisp sound, what Liu Qi was worried about finally happened. I don't know if the chain was overwhelmed, or if it was burned by the fire, it broke directly from the left side.

Liu Qi felt that the gunboat suddenly lightened, and the boat approached the river bank on the right all day. The raft, which had been stopped on the left, instantly flowed downstream like a wild horse on the loose.

The gunboat had lost control, and Liu Qi could only watch and do nothing. He could only let the gunboat hold the raft on the right side as much as possible, and even if the gunboat was burned, he could not let the raft on this side go downstream.

At this moment, two more cannon shots came from behind them, and in the distance behind them, there seemed to be a faint light coming from them.

Liu Qi is very familiar with the sound of the cannon, which is the sound of firing chains. The reinforcements that Liu Qi was waiting for finally arrived in time, and with their joining, none of these rafts could reach Xiping Fort.

The burning raft floated towards the river bank on the right with Liu Qi's gunboat, and Liu Qi had no way to control the gunboat at all, and did not stop until they were all stranded on the shore.

It was only at this moment that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their ships were only charred and blackened, and they could continue to be used as long as they were repaired.

Stranding is not a big deal, as long as the rafts are destroyed, other ships will naturally drag them out of the riverbank.

Seeing that the burning rafts were stopped again in the distance, dozens of people on Liu Qi's boat smiled.

Their efforts have not been in vain, and they will definitely share the greatest share of the credit for tonight. The thought of the battle exploits brought a smile to everyone's face.

……

In the upper reaches of the river, near the mound, a group of blue-flaged goshkha were tying themselves up with ropes at the water's edge and jumping into the water.

When these people were pulled up, they were all choked to death by the water, and several of them never woke up and went directly to see their shaman.

But these goshkha did not dare to stop at all, their master Hauge fell into the water and his life was uncertain, even if he returned to Zhenwu Fort, he would not escape death.

It's not that no one thought that Hauge would fall into the hands of that hateful Changxing army, but no one said it. There is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts that Hauge, who has been missing for a long time, can be found in the water.

Just as they were busy fishing for people, a group of fast horses came running at high speed in the distance.

As the cavalry approached the mound, one of the horsemen on the horse shouted, "Captain! Cogley! You're going to hold on, Mubari is here to save you!" ”

The shout woke up Geshha, who was fishing for people by the river, and they all stopped what they were doing and turned to run towards the war horses not far away.

Now the dozen or so people in the water are unlucky, they can't get up at all without pulling them, and these people don't know why their companions on the shore want to abandon them until they die.

As soon as Mu Bari rushed to the earthen hill first, he saw the Jurchen armor soldiers who were about to get on the horse in a hurry, and he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

It was here that he and Kughli were pointed at with bows and arrows by this group of Jurchens, and if it weren't for Kughli sacrificing himself, he would not have had a chance to escape.

Not long after they fled here, they encountered two other teams who wanted to return.

The three teams sent a few people back to report the news, and the rest of the centaurs reflexively killed and came back. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Mubari will not give up on the captain of the team, and he firmly believes that with the reason of the captain, he will definitely hold out until their arrival.

Seeing this group of armor soldiers again at this moment, Mu Bari's eyes turned red. The bow and arrow in his hand kept shooting, and in a blink of an eye, three people were shot down and taken down by him.

The rest of the Changxing army also killed them at night, and they were very relaxed with the Jurchen armor soldiers who were listening in a hurry, except for the one hundred and ten horsemen who escaped, the rest of the people were all killed on the spot.

Knowing from a captive that Kughli had jumped into the river with Hauge, Mubari did not show the same sadness as the others.

"I knew it! I knew it! Mubari heard Kugri fall into the river and jumped on the spot.

In everyone's puzzled gaze, Mu Bari said: "The captain is good at harpooning, can he not understand water?" His water nature must be very good, and jumping into the water is his way of life!

I reckon! No! I'm sure the squad leader is still alive, maybe he's already down the river back to Xiping Fort!

Maybe he can still make a great contribution and capture Hauge, the son of the slave chieftain Taiji.

Why didn't I stay with the captain in the first place?

Such a big credit was taken by the captain alone, no! The VIP building must let the captain treat him, and he will have to eat for a month! ”

The others also had smiles on their faces when they heard Mubari say this. Kugree is good at harpooning the open secrets of the Changxing army, and it has become a myth in the Changxing army that Kugree never misses within ten steps.

……

The battle on the river was nearing its end, and Liu Qi's gunboat was pulled back from the shore.

Four or five gunboats appeared here, and even if the Jurchens had more rafts, they would be sent to the bottom of the river.

Everyone came to Liu Qi's ship and asked Liu Qi to treat him. They got the news that they were not receiving the night at Xiping Fort, so they hurriedly headed upstream.

Unexpectedly, before arriving at the place, they saw Liu Qi fighting against the raft covered with the river in their stomachs, and this group of people hurried to hurry up or let Liu Qi snatch the bulk of the credit, and they were inevitably a little indignant in their hearts.

Suddenly, a man pointed to the river and said, "Look there! And one more fish that slipped through the net! ”
