Chapter 1363: Underestimated Scout

Five arrows passed through the porthole accurately, and a scream came from inside later.

At this time, another small boat also came, and it was full of strong men.

As soon as the boat got close, those strong men used special hook ladders to climb up, and they could tell by their skills that they were thugs who were begging for a living on the water.

In the cabin, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were drinking together.

The wine is brewed wine with low alcohol content and good taste.

The appetizer was a pile of peanuts, and the two of them sat at the inner side of the porthole, slowly peeling the peanuts for the wine.

"ah……"

At this time, an arrow pierced through the porthole and nailed to the partition of the cabin with a bang.

"ah……"

Shen Shitou was sitting in the corner, while the arrow was nailed to the deck, he swallowed the peanut in his mouth and let out a scream.

"Short voice, too long."

Fang Xing took a sip of wine, and trained Shen Shitou's acting skills.

"ah!"

"Well, it's almost there. I will try to think about the screams in the future. It is the product of pain and panic. If you think about it often, your acting skills will reach another level."

The hull of the ship was shaking, Shen Shitou nodded, really trying to figure out how to make the screams realistic.

"It's time to do it!"

Fang Xing felt the ship shake violently.

This is a harbinger of the enemy's attack.

Shen Shitou pulled out his knife, opened the door of the cabin, and glanced left and right.

"crossbow……"

Fang Wu's shout came, followed by a crash.

"ah……"

The crossbow bolt is equivalent to a pistol with only one bullet in close combat, and it will be close to hand to hand.

But Jubaoshanwei not only has crossbow arrows, but also...

"volley!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A brief burst of flames lit up the deck, and those strong men fell to the ground one after another after being hit by crossbow arrows and volleyball guns. The rest of them saw that there were such sharp weapons as muskets on board, so they said nothing and ran away!

"Beep beep!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The remaining three strong men ran to the side of the boat, but a stern whistle sounded, and the second round of musket salvo arrived as expected...

The enemy on the deck was cleared, and the two small ships had already begun to retreat.

The penny put a push on the big boat, and the boat slowly separated.

The five sharpshooters on the ship were all nervously staring at the deck, bows and arrows drooping, ready at any time...

The scattered fog caused by the fighting began to gradually close up, and seeing that the visibility would decrease again, someone on the boat suddenly shouted: "Grenade!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Ten musketeers rushed onto the deck, and just as the sharpshooters raised their bows and arrows, a volley came.

"puff!"

This volley was a bit hasty, but still knocked down one person.

The fear of death caused the remaining four people to dodge involuntarily.

Just this one move left time for the scouts behind to throw the grenade.

"The scouts must accurately throw the grenade into a pit from forty steps away."

Fang Xing introduced the situation to Zhu Zhanji.

"Forty paces, that's not bad."

"That's just the bare minimum..."

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The explosion sound from outside didn't affect Fang Xing's appetite at all. He rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's get a bowl of noodles. Do you want it?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Yes, put more peppers, so that you can sleep warm at night."

When Fang woke up, the battle outside had already ended.

A few scouts stretched out with bamboo poles tied to lanterns, and there were many gun muzzles beside them.

There were no longer any standing people on the two small boats on the river, several men were lying on the boats and convulsed, and on the side, there was actually one alive, desperately swimming towards the bank in the river.

"Bring the hook!"

Someone jumped into the water, hooked the undead guy with a long hook, and dragged him slowly.

When he got close, he was knocked out with a punch, and then he was tied to a rope and dragged up.

"It's so cold! Ahh!"

It was Xiao Dao who went into the water. After he got ashore, Xin Lao Qi hurriedly threw a big towel over.

"Rub your body warm, and then drink some wine."

Several scouts woke the captives, and the interrogation began.

After Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji finished eating noodles, the confession came out.

"Your Highness, they are water bandits. Ever since the canal was completed, these water bandits have been beaten into peasants by the sailors. It's just that someone found them a few days ago and paid a high price to invite them to kill people on the canal..."

"There are five skilled archers on the boat, all of whom are from different races. They don't speak all day long, but they just keep rubbing their bows and arrows. Each arrow has been checked countless times..."

"Four of the five died, and one committed suicide due to serious injuries. Most of the rest of the gangsters died, but it is estimated that someone behind the fleet should have escaped."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, patted the peanut crumbs on his hands and said: "That's it, just pay attention to vigilance, and go to rest."

When the person left, Zhu Zhanji's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Who could it be?"

"Those five people are mostly assassins from the country of Halle, but it's interesting to be able to mix with these water bandits. The person behind them has a lot of energy."

Fang Xing smiled wryly: "I definitely don't have anything to do with the royal family, but I don't know if the main target is me or you. If it's me, it's probably..."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly sneered and said: "No, the original intention of this assassination must be to worry about us going to the south to clean up the officialdom, but after mixing with the Harlei people, that person must be crazy, probably thinking of muddying the water, and then he To get out of trouble."

"If you think too much, someone from Harlei must have connected him, otherwise neither side can trust the other."

Fang Xing was a little depressed. This assassination was not dangerous. The other party underestimated the fighting power of the scouts, resulting in a crushing defeat.

But it was shocking that there was such a guy in the court who dared to collude with the water bandits, and finally had a hand with the Harlei people!

Fang Xing looked up and saw that Zhu Zhanji was also worried, so he knew that he was also worried about this matter.

"We came out three days late, which gave them time to calmly plan, but that man is obviously not proficient in battle formations, so he used water bandits. In fact, his best thing is to use those five sharp archers to snipe kill."

"Jinling?"

Zhu Zhanji said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that person has already panicked. Under the flustered state, he just wants to take action to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible. He is not a person who can make great things happen."

People who can achieve great things have one characteristic - patience and patience!

Just who is this person?

Zhu Zhanji wished he could return to Beijing immediately, and then suggested that Zhu Di look for this person among the officials.

"Okay, there will be no more problems in the next section of the road..."

...

Not far from the shore, a middle-aged man on horseback saw those flames and explosions, and then he waited until there was no more movement, and then slowly drove away.

After he was far away, a group of cavalry rushed over and searched carefully on the shore.

"My lord, there are horseshoe marks, it should be not long after I left."

"Go after it, within ten miles, if you can't catch it, come back."

"yes."

A cavalry from the small flag department immediately rode away, but it was too difficult to chase the enemy at night, so the leader limited the distance to ten miles.
