Whether it could withstand swords and spears, the brothers didn't know; they only knew it was quite warm.
As the eyes adjust to the darkness, vision gradually becomes clearer. If Li Ruo has binoculars, or if Xiao Li Zi and others familiar with the terrain guide the way, they will not get lost.
According to the book, Song Zhijing borrowed boats from the canal transport system as soon as the flood started, but his subordinates were incompetent and delayed the process. The granaries were flooded, and it took a lot of time to salvage most of the waterlogged grain.
So, it was just loaded onto the ship at this time.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early...
At this time, the granary was located by the Ru River.
Song Zhijing was still worried, so he came over personally to supervise the transport of grain.
There were two granaries on the banks of the Ru River. The granaries were built relatively high and were not completely submerged by the water, with only one roof exposed. They used the roof to hoist the grain up.
However, the canal boats had been almost completely divided up, and he only had one large boat left. For now, he could only move one boat, and he would probably have to figure out how to move the other one later.
Due to the limited carrying capacity of the ship, he only brought more than two hundred people, of whom more than fifty were archers.
"Sir, the grain has been loaded onto the ship, we can set sail now," said Captain Liu of the Beishan Army.
Song Zhijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With this batch of grain, he could at least hold out for a while, rally the people's hearts, and then attack Black Wind Stronghold to retrieve the grain and weapons that Xie Xiao had stolen.
And that woman... he won't let any of them go.
"Let's head back to Beishan!" he shouted.
Suddenly, the sound of drums came from ahead.
Commander Liu, standing at the bow of the ship, was startled. Through the misty rain, he saw a large ship ahead, with several people wearing straw hats at its bow.
"Oh no, sir, there are enemies ahead!"
Such a high-profile move, could it be Black Wind Stronghold again?
"Haha, Lord Song, this area of water is under the control of Black Wind Stronghold. If you want to cross it alive, leave your boat behind!" Little Li shouted loudly.
It really is!
Song Zhijing stormed out, "Fine! I won't come looking for you; you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep."
Commandant Liu asked, "Sir, should I go up and kill them all in a panic?"
"No need. Xie Xiao is cunning and treacherous. Since he dares to provoke us so openly, there's probably a trap." Fortunately, he was prepared. "Have the archers fire their arrows and kill them!"
He wants both the heads and the boats of Black Wind Stronghold!
