Chapter 101
"Do you know where this gang of gangsters came from?"

"There are no clues yet. These river bandits are all very good at water and have superb boating skills. When our escort fleet is small, they are no match for us. When there are many escort fleets, the river bandits hide out again, which is really a headache." Cheng Hu replied. road,
"So these gangsters are here specifically for us?"

"According to current statistics, it is true that although ordinary merchants' cargo ships are occasionally intercepted, Guangling's official ships encounter this group of river bandits almost every time they go into the water."

Liu Xuan asked about the situation of the Jiang bandits and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.The behavior of this gang of Jiang bandits is really suspicious.

If you are just robbing property, there is no need to just focus on the government ships. This is risky and often requires fighting.

Since it started last winter, it means that the Jiang bandits are here for me.

And to be able to know so accurately the time when the official cargo ship was launched, it is obvious that there are quite a few forces behind it cooperating with the Jiang bandits.

It seems that he must take action to clean up the banditry, otherwise the goods from Guangling and Huaiyin will not reach Jiangnan, and the losses will be huge.

[Notepad opens.]

[In 199 AD, in Guangling County, a group of river bandits appeared on the river, specifically targeting your cargo ship, and your trade with Jiangdong was interrupted.You decide to eliminate this gang of river bandits and uncover the forces behind them. 】

[Trigger challenge mission: Exterminate river bandits]

[Mission details: eliminate Jiang bandits and uncover the forces behind them]

[Task reward: entry*2]

. . .

At the Guangling Port pier, an official cargo ship was launched again.
This batch of silk was ordered by the Jiangdong nobles long ago. Due to the Jiang bandits, the goods have not been delivered.

The cargo ship left the port, and the three frigates at the port also left the port.
Two frigates accompanied the two sides, and a stern followed behind.

This kind of scale of security is really weak for today's water transportation channels where river bandits are rampant.

The fleet left the port and soon disappeared on the river.

It takes three days to sail against the current from Guangling Port to Qu'a Port.
In the evening, Liu Xuan and Lu Bu walked out of the cabin of the stern and looked at the vast water. They were the only fleet there.

"My lord, are you sure the Jiang bandits will come today?" Lu Bu asked.

"It's okay if you don't come, we will escort the cargo ship to Qu'a smoothly." Liu Xuandao,

"But I think the Jiang bandits will definitely not miss such a good opportunity."

Just as he was talking, Liu Xuan glanced at the river in front of him, and activated his keen eagle eyes.

On the distant river, several sails slowly emerged from the water.

"coming!"

The Jiang bandit's boat was sailing down the river at an extremely fast speed. Liu Xuan could see clearly that this group of Jiang bandit had four fighting ships.

Two people on the left and two on the right rushed towards the official ship diagonally.

"Meet the enemy!" The two escort battleships immediately flagged, accelerated past the cargo ship, and faced the four battleships.

The Jiang bandits also separated two fighting ships and rushed over.

"Fire arrows!" The archers on the two fighting ships fired a hail of arrows at the bandit ship.

The water thieves on the bandit ship also fired a wave of arrows at the same time.

But it is spring now, and the river wind blows from east to west. The arrows fired by the frigates went with the wind and hit the bandits' ships directly, while the arrows shot by the water pirates went against the wind and most of them fell into the river.

This wave of shooting caused some casualties to the Jiang bandits, and the fighting ships took the opportunity to get stuck.

If you want to subdue the river bandits, the best way is to fight from the side.

On a bandit ship in the middle, a semaphore was raised.

When the two bandit ships rushing ahead saw the flag, they immediately turned and went around.
He actually chose to evade and not engage with the escorting battleship.

Naturally, the frigates followed closely and turned their bows to chase the two frigates.

From sailing against the current to following the current, the frigate quickly distanced itself from the cargo ship.

"Still so stupid!" A bronze-skinned young man on the bandit ship in the middle smiled disdainfully.
"Come on, rob the cargo ship."

The two bandit battleships immediately accelerated and approached the lone cargo ship.

How can the speed and steering power of a cargo ship compare to that of a fighting ship?
Before he could turn around, he was flanked by two fighting ships, one from the left and one from the right.
The water pirate on the fighting ship threw out his hook and pulled the fighting ship and the cargo ship closer.
Then one by one, the water thieves shouted and crossed the side of the ship, boarding the cargo ship.

But the young man in charge cautiously stayed on the fighting ship and looked around at the situation.

"Something's wrong!" The young man suddenly frowned. Today's cargo ship seemed different from before.

Although he couldn't tell what was different, his instinct from many years of fighting told him that there must be something wrong.

"Brothers, be careful and don't be careless."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing out of the dark cabin of the cargo ship.
Everyone had silver armor and ghostly faces, holding scimitars in their hands, and they were charging towards the water thieves with murderous intent.

It was the Tiger Camp led by Cheng Hu.

As the elites of the Tiger Battalion as mission rewards, they are proficient in various battle formations.

The bumpy deck did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Battalion at all.

At this time, the sword was replaced with a scimitar, which was more advantageous for fighting in a narrow place like the deck.

In one encounter, dozens of water thieves were chopped to the ground.

"Retreat!" The young man on the fighting ship saw that the situation was wrong and decisively issued a retreat order.

But Cheng Hu finally managed to lure the water thieves onto the boat, how could he let them escape so easily?

A group of Tiger Battalion soldiers went directly to the side of the ship, intending to surround the water thieves who boarded the ship first.

Although the water thieves on the ship were brave, they still had no chance of winning against the Tiger Camp soldiers.
After a while, dozens more people fell to the ground.

Seeing that it was impossible for the water thieves on the official ship to return to the fighting ship, the young man shouted anxiously,

"Go into the water."

After hearing this, all the water thieves had no choice but to run towards the other end, to the stern of the boat, and jumped off the boat one by one without hesitation, and plunged into the river.

When Cheng Hu saw this, he decisively stopped his pursuit and struck out with his scimitar.
"Seize the ship!"

Two Jiang bandit fighting ships have already docked with the official ship, so the Tiger Camp will naturally take advantage of the situation and attack the fighting ships.

The young man on the fighting ship raised a flag and made the two fighting ships sail away from the official ship.
At the same time, he quickly swung his knife to cut off all the ropes connected to the hook, and led the remaining water thieves on the battleship to line up on the side of the ship and wait.

Finally, the Tiger Battalion's offensive was blocked, allowing the fighting ship to distance itself from the official ship.

The other fighting ship was not so lucky. Under Cheng Hu's sharp attack, the water pirates were defeated and successfully boarded by the Tiger Battalion.

The water thieves on the fighting ship were quite experienced. Seeing that they were unable to defeat them and had nowhere to escape, they all plunged into the water and escaped using their good water properties.

"Damn it, I've been tricked." The young man on the battleship frowned and cursed.
"Fortunately, the loss is not big, just a fighting ship."

"Brother, they are coming." Just after the young man finished cursing, a water thief next to him pointed at the bottom of the fighting ship and said.

"Chasing? What are they chasing after?" the young man said disdainfully, but still looked where the water thief pointed.

Then he looked a little angry and laughed,
"Damn it, how dare a little cockroach chase you? Come hit me."

It turns out that what the water thief under his command was pointing at was just a stern boat.

Compared with the 40-meter-long fighting ship, the stern, which is only about ten meters long, looks like a small fishing boat.

The two fighting ships of the official family went down the river to chase the two fighting ships of the Jiang bandits.
It would definitely take some effort to turn around and come back.

Therefore, the young people on the fighting ship thought that the distance between them and the Tiger Camp on the official ship was increased.
You will be safe.

As for the cockroach that had been following the official ship, it was completely ignored by the young man.Apart from being fast, it has no advantages over fighting ships.

Even if it is allowed to catch up, its manned capacity is not enough to pose a threat to the fighting ship.

What's more, the height of the stern is several meters lower than that of the fighting ship. How can it be so easy to board the ship?
The fighting ship turned its bow and went down the water, heading straight towards the stern.

On the deck of the ship, Liu Xuan said to Lu Bu,

"Fengxian, it's up to you."

Lu Bu clenched his fist and said, "Don't worry, my lord, it's just a wooden boat. Watch me strike hard."

Seeing that the fighting ship and the stern were about to collide, the helmsman turned the rudder and the stern changed direction.
Passing by the fighting ship, the distance between the two sides was less than one meter.

Lu Bu bent down like a tiger, holding the side of the boat with his left hand.

The right arm recycles and accumulates power.

The mantis shrimp's iron fist is activated.

Lu Bu's fist was instantly covered with a layer of cyan carapace, and his elbow shot out like a slingshot.

The iron fist struck near the battleship's waterline like lightning.

"boom!"

The Jiang bandits on the fighting ship only felt the ship's hull shake violently. Many people became unsteady and fell on the deck.

The young man on the fighting ship grabbed the side of the ship with one hand to steady himself, and jumped to the side where the two ships collided to take a look.
All I saw was a huge crack in the hull of the fighting ship that stretched from the hull to below the waterline.

Lu Bu's punch hit not the wooden board, but the ribs of the boat. The entire side ribs were broken, and the crack extended to the bottom of the boat.

The river water poured in from the crack like a tidal wave,
Not far away, the stern boat was still spinning in circles and retreating into the distance.

It turns out that Lu Bu's punch was too powerful.
The huge reaction force pushed the cockroach around and retreated a long way.

"What kind of monster is this?" the young man murmured.

"It's leaking. Go to the cabin quickly and seal the opening." The bandits above got into a mess and swarmed to the bottom of the cabin to seal the opening.

However, the fighting ship itself is large and heavy, with a waterline of one or two meters.

With such a deep waterline, once a hole is opened below, the river water will rush in very quickly due to the pressure outside the cabin, making it impossible to block it.

The young man who put it on saw that the cockroach in the distance had stopped retreating and accelerated towards him again.

And the cargo ship slowly began to move, approaching its leaky fighting ship.

"Brothers, abandon ship."

The young man made a decisive decision that he could no longer keep the ship.

"You retreat first, I will stop you later."

"Brother, let's go together, we will cover you." The Jiang bandit on the side refused to leave and said anxiously.

The young man glared and said, "This is an order. Don't worry, no one can catch me on this river."

As he spoke, the young man took out his bow and arrow and shot at the soldiers on the cargo ship.

The young man's archery skills were superb and his shooting speed was extremely fast. He suppressed the soldiers on the cargo ship and did not dare to show their heads and shoot arrows easily.

Under the cover of the young man and a group of his men, the bandits jumped into the water to escape.

As expected, these river bandits have been hanging out on the water all year round. They are all white stripes in the waves. They plunge into the river and disappear, and then emerge from a very far away place. Even the official ships cannot catch up.

Liu Xuan stood on the bow of the ship, but his eyes kept staring at the young man on the fighting ship.

Obviously, this young man is the leader of this group of river bandits, and he must not be allowed to escape.

Seeing that all his men had jumped into the river to escape, the young man threw away his bow and arrow.
Walking to the side of the ship and looking at Liu Xuan below, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Then he jumped lightly from the deck,

The body drew a perfect parabola in the air, as silently as water, without a single splash.

"Follow me." Liu Xuan's dragon gun pointed at a place in front of the battleship,
The helmsman behind him understood and adjusted the direction of the ship towards the place pointed by Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan's sharp eagle eyes were activated, and through the water, he could vaguely see the figure in the water.

The young man swam very fast underwater, but no matter how fast he was, he was still not as fast as he could sprint.

The cockroach quickly caught up to the young man's head.

Liu Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, and the dragon gun in his hand suddenly entered the water.

"long!"

Ruyi's dragon spear suddenly stretched out to six meters long, thrusting down from the deck of the stern and still three to four meters deep into the water.

The young man was diving about two meters below the surface of the water.

In his opinion, this depth was enough to hide him from those chasing him on the water.

However, suddenly a sharp spearhead pierced out of the air in front of him, about a foot in front of the young man.

The young man was so frightened that he trembled in the water, quickly stopped his body, twisted his waist, and swam away in another direction.

"Luck, it must be luck."

The young man comforted himself in his heart.The river water is turbid, and it is not that easy to see and stab a snorkeler below two meters high.

However, the young man had only swam less than ten meters when the spear with a dragon head in front of him stabbed down again.
Kankan stabbed one foot in front.

"Damn it."

The young man was so frightened by the shot that he spat out bubbles and felt uncomfortable holding his breath.

However, after two spears were thrust out, the young man did not take any chances. The people above must be able to see him.

With a cruel move, the young man stuck his butt out and dived more than a meter under the water.

Snorkeling more than three meters underwater, the huge pressure made it even more uncomfortable for the young man to hold his breath, and his swimming speed also slowed down.

However, the young man is confident that he can still hold on for three minutes, which is enough for him to swim five to sixty meters. When the time comes, he will surface to take a breath and be a good man again.

Unfortunately, what made the young man despair was that a minute later, the annoying gun tip was stabbed in front of his head again.

The young man's lungs were about to explode, but the gun didn't hit him. It was obvious that he was going to be captured alive.

Six minutes had passed, and the young man finally reached the limit of holding back,
I had no choice but to move up from the water with one stroke of my hands.

As soon as his head emerged from the water, what he saw was the boringly familiar gun tip, pressing against his forehead.

Lu Bu bent down, lifted the young man out of the water, threw him on the deck and tied him up.

The young man knew he couldn't escape, so he frowned and said,
"Kill if you want. If I frown, uncle, I won't be considered a hero."

Liu Xuan joked: "You do evil things, kill people, sell goods, harm one party, and you have the nerve to call yourself a hero? Tell me, who are you, and who sent you to rob official ships. Tell me honestly, and I can give you a good time."

"I am Linjiang Ganning. I specialize in killing corrupt officials, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. You, Liu Xuan, have killed countless people and have committed evil deeds. I rob your official ship. Do you still need someone to appoint you?"

Liu Xuan was startled. This young man turned out to be Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.

No wonder Guangling's escort fleet couldn't defeat him at all.

"It turned out to be the Jinfan thief Gan Xingba. I had heard about it. I thought you were really a hero who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. But what you have done is not worthy of the word hero?"

"In my opinion, you are no different from other young men on the river. You use the name of a hero to act like a villain."
