Chapter 500 501. Surrounded
Just as they were wondering what the people on the other side were going to do, they suddenly felt the boat shaking. Prince Zuo shouted, "Hurry up and get someone in the water to take a look."
It was too late for him to speak, he could already feel the boat slowly tilting.
Under the boat, out of their sight, was a group of people wearing tight clothes, holding a reed in their mouths that would allow them to float to the surface.
At the same time, they pulled open the wooden board that had already been pried open with a special knife and immediately evacuated in one direction.
But no matter how good they are at swimming, they are no match for those water ghosts of the bandits.
Seeing that these people were about to catch up with them with weapons in hand, they stopped calmly and made a provocative gesture.
This made the water ghosts very angry. They swam forward with all their might, determined to keep these people in the sea today.
Without noticing at all, they leisurely took out a strange-looking object from their backs.
By the time they reacted and were ready to defend themselves, they saw them pull out the gag in front of them and make a pushing motion towards them.
In front of these water ghosts, the entire seabed suddenly turned dark, and they soon felt a stinging pain in their eyes.
There was no way they could stay in the water, so they held their breath and floated to the surface, gasping for breath. Some of them covered their eyes and wailed, shouting non-stop.
Prince Zuo witnessed it all on the boat and knew that at this point, even if he sent more people into the water to chase, he would not be able to catch up.
Because he had already seen some people appearing on the water in the distance. They had climbed onto the small boat waiting there and were waving at them provocatively from a distance.
"*#&#..." A burst of curses came from the boat, but the ships they had docked on were all slowly taking on water and could no longer move.
Li Ji stared at this unexpected turn of events with his mouth wide open, "Are you all considered safe?"
Deputy General Wang clapped his hands and said to the soldiers beside him, "Everyone hurry up and get your dry food. I guess we can pick up dead fish soon. No one is allowed to fight or grab. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it," a neat and excited voice responded to him.
Deputy General Wang walked over cheerfully and stood behind Zhou Shixiong, "General, Lord Gu is right, these people are too arrogant and think that there are no good people in our Darong Dynasty.
It’s just a pity that these ships were destroyed.”
General Zhou had just met Gu Wenheng not long ago when the two had already made this plan.
In order to help these people become better at swimming, General Zhou and he found a hot spring resort nearby and asked some officers and soldiers who were good at swimming to practice there for a long time.
People were thrown into the sea after the beginning of spring, and under the pretext of making up for the loss, they practiced breath holding and diving in the nearby waters.
"Even if it's sunken, we'll try to salvage it and then let Sister Gu take a look. Maybe we can salvage it.
This general had previously thought that their ships were very sturdy, but now they seem to be just so-so.
Brother Gu's reading of some miscellaneous books has not been in vain. He has found out the weaknesses of these ships."
At this time, Zhou Shixiong saw many people on the deck of the ship waving and calling for help. Obviously, not all of the other people were familiar with water.
"My Lord, that should be the so-called Prince Zuo. Is he going to escape?"
Lieutenant General Wang pointed to a small boat which was already crowded with people. They were rowing hard towards the open sea.
Zhou Shixiong, "Notify them to follow the second plan."
At this time, some bandits had already rowed to the shore. Before they could climb out of the water, the soldiers above had already put a knife to their necks.
"This is the one I like," there were still sounds of arguments. If you look over at this time, you will find that some bandits have two knives or more on their necks at the same time.
There is no way, there are too many people and too little porridge. Some people even complain that there are not more people coming.
Li Ji stayed where he was. This change happened too fast. He couldn't understand why it suddenly...
"Commander Li, don't just stand there. They have robbed all the people." The general who passed by him reminded him and then rushed forward with his sword in hand.
Li Ji, "..."
Everyone else was busy competing for military merit, so he stood out here. He hardened his heart, grasped the sword in his hand, and joined in.
"These people are too cunning," Prince Zuo, standing on the small boat, gritted his teeth and watched his men being captured one by one.
"Sir, what should we do now? It is impossible for this small boat to return."
At that time, for the sake of grandeur, the Prince had several ships docked near the coast. Now, they have been caught in one net. They are now riding on this lifeboat, and no one knows how far they can go.
"What did you tell them before you went up there? Didn't you ask their general to come see me? How did they end up in this misfortune?
Didn’t I say they are the most polite? "
"I don't know either. When we got ashore, everything was clear.
Did he think that we had left them alone for so long? It was impolite, so he wanted to give us a warning. "
Tu Zhong was also complaining in his heart. If Lord Prince Zuo didn't want to cause trouble for the other party and insisted on waiting for a while before getting off the boat, maybe they would have been on shore now.
They brought so many people with them well prepared. Even if there is a real battle, they may not be able to escape.
Now, the future is really uncertain.
Prince Zuo felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, and turned around and ordered several boatmen, "Push the boat back for me. I want to see how they want to treat me, the prince."
"Sir, I don't think we can leave." One of the men said weakly.
No one knew when their small boat was surrounded.
"Let the water ghosts sink these boats for me." Prince Zuo narrowed his eyes. He recognized these people. It was they who made him so embarrassed.
"Yes," a guard patted the water surface, and some bandits appeared around their boat. They should be the ones who were secretly protecting him along the way.
"#&*#," as an order was given, these so-called water ghosts immediately pounced on their several ships.
The other party calmly took out a few iron rakes from the cabin and attacked them as soon as they approached.
As the water surface gradually turned red, Prince Zuo looked ugly. It seemed that the opponent came prepared and every move was intended to restrain them.
By the time the last water ghost disappeared, several small boats had surrounded them.
"Now that you're here, it would be rude not to visit you," said a sturdy man, shaking an iron rake in his hand.
"What do you want to do? I am the Prince of Dongyi and I have important matters to discuss with your Emperor. You cannot be so rude."
