The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 13
The snake has its way, and the rat has its way.

On this river, the people who know the situation of the water bandits best are neither the fishermen on the water nor the officers and soldiers who are attacking the water bandits, but their colleagues.

After Chu Tianxiu gave a few orders and promised that he would not take the lives of these water bandits, they told Chu Tianxiu all the news about the water bandits they knew about their companions like pouring beans. Chu Tianxiu had a real understanding of the water bandits in the river.

On the surface of the river, there are as many water bandits as there are as many types as a cow's hair.

Some are "lake bandits" who live in Panyang Lake and Dongting Lake on weekdays, wait for the time to move, and rob big merchants.

Some are "reed bandits" who hide in the reed bushes and rob small businesses and households.

Some are "fisherman bandits" who were born as fishermen and are half fisherman and half bandit.

There are also "soldiers and bandits" formed by defeated troops after the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo in the Sui Dynasty.

But in general, water bandits on the river are generally divided into three types according to their size.

The first type of water bandits are "little bandits" like this group of fishermen. There are a few small boats, ranging from a few, a dozen to dozens of people. They can only rob ordinary passing merchants on weekdays. It's just a small business with no capital, and the number of such "little bandits" on the river is also the largest. At least there must be hundreds or thousands of shares.
The scale of the second type of water bandits is larger. Not only will the number of ships under their hands be larger, but they also have large ships with a load of tens of shi or hundreds of shi. There is a water village as a base, which is similar to the Liangshan water village when Wang Lun, the "white man in white" in the Water Margin, was in town.

The third type of water bandit is even more remarkable.The smallest of them can also occupy a large area of ​​the river in the form of gangs, which can be called a hero.

Representatives of them are the "Dajianghui" and "Tieqihui", which are among the eight gangs and ten factions like the "Bamboo Flower Gang". The largest ones should not even be called water bandits, but rather Among the "rebels", Du Fuwei from Jianghuai and Li Zitong from Hailing are the best.

The forces on the river, those real "big gangsters", Chu Tianxiu generally can't afford to provoke, after all, he can't beat Du Fuwei, who is already in the realm of a master.

Even if he took a step back and said that he could win the fight, there was no need for that.After all, the current him is still in the stage of accumulating strength, and he hasn't reached the time to stand on the big stage of the whole world.

So for him now, it is more suitable for him to practice his hands with some medium scales, devouring them as his own supplies, that would be great.

Fortunately, the world is in chaos now, and there are countless water bandits on the Yangtze River. After Chu Tianxiu carefully tortured these little water bandits, and learned about the situation on the surrounding river from them, he quickly identified the most suitable water bandits. The goal.

This is a group of medium-sized water bandits, with a number of more than two or three hundred people. There is a fixed water village by the river. They not only rob the merchants passing by the river, but also attack the surrounding fishing villages and towns, killing people and setting fire to them. Do all kinds of evil.

Even in the business of water bandits, their reputation is relatively poor.

The reason why Chu Tianxiu chose this group of people in the first wave was not because he wanted to do justice for the heavens, but because this wave of water bandits was not only large in scale, but also relatively close to his current position. There is a clear lair, and it is the most worry-free to clean up.

So without much hesitation, he drove his own merchant ship and his own manpower, took thirty new captive pirates, strong and strong, and shot towards the water village to kill them.

When the group of them drove towards the direction of Qinglongzhai, they were really swaggering, without any cover-up.

So before he rushed to the water fortress by the river, there were two warships that were sharper and narrower than the merchant ship he was sitting on, but longer by about ten feet, and had the upper hand in terms of maneuverability. Speeding over from left to right, he surrounded his merchant ship from left to right.

It was obvious that this group of water bandits had their eyes on their own merchant ship and regarded Chu Tianxiu and his party as prey.Under the abundant sunlight, Chu Tianxiu and his party could clearly see dozens of people standing on each boat on the deck of the other party. Everyone bent their bows and set arrows, and they were running back and forth holding fishing rods and other tools to lock the boat. The gang of thieves that Chu Tianxiu caught just now are much more professional.

Even though they saw that there were more than 40 people on Chu Tianxiu's boat, and everyone was holding equipment, they were not afraid at all and were eager to try.

"This group of water thieves looks pretty good. Xiliang, stop the boat, and wait for their people to board our boat, and then fight together. By the way, let the people below be more careful. When fighting Stand firm on the boat, don't capsize the boat in the gutter."

After Chu Tianxiu glanced at the gang of water bandits, he nodded slightly satisfied, and gave instructions.

After a few orders from his side, the two thief boats finally approached, and all the thieves rushed up, jumped onto the deck, and came to kill him.

Chu Tianxiu suddenly felt a little speechless, because he originally thought that after this group of people got on the boat, they would have to make a name for themselves, saying something similar to "I drove this mountain, I planted this road, if you want to pass it This way, leave the slang words like "buy road money".

Unexpectedly, this group of ordinary thieves would be so straightforward.

"kill!"

They don't talk nonsense, and Chu Tianxiu doesn't talk nonsense.After he yelled, he drew out the big knife on his back, and aimed at the one who rushed the fastest. A man with a thin body, gray skin, and very sensitive movements, was holding a slender sharp knife. The pirate hacked over.

Seeing Chu Tianxiu's knife, the pirate was startled immediately, and hurriedly raised the long knife in his hand and drove over.

After the two knives collided, Chu Tianxiu suddenly felt a faint scorching qi extending towards him from the point where the knives collided. After making his hands feel numb, he was immediately overwhelmed by his own strength like a surging river tide. After the qi was exterminated, the long knife on the back in his hand was shattered into pieces, and he chopped it down.

After one cut, there was a long and thin bloodstain on the forehead of the man, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.

"It's not good, the second master is dead!"

After Chu Tianxiu slaughtered the water bandits casually, he heard someone among the group of pirates suddenly shouting loudly, and only then did he know that he must have killed a small boss.

Although this news was good, Chu Tianxiu didn't take it too seriously, because when he was trying his best to crush the game, any good news was due, and it couldn't even bring him the slightest bit of excitement.

When he was fighting in the Bamboo Flower Gang in the early years, he was so honed by this kind of killing of hundreds or thousands of people that he vomited.

Even if the scene was a little bloody, Chu Tianxiu still did not change his face, but his movements did not change at all. He held the knife in both hands and slashed left and right a few times. He chopped off the heads of three or four people in a row, causing the gushing blood to pollute a large area of ​​the deck. Invaded it into blood red.

"Do it! Kill!"

After Chu Tianxiu greeted them, Gui Xiliang behind him also yelled, and led the more than a dozen original veteran elites and the newly subdued water bandits to kill these water bandits, and the two sides fought Together.

As soon as the pirates on the two sides fought and bumped into each other, they could see the gap between them.The subordinates led by Chu Tianxiu not only had high morale and strong personal force, but they also formed a small formation to support each other in groups of three or five, and behaved well.

It didn't take much effort for Chu Tianxiu to deal with the enemies he was heading for, but the new captives that Chu Tianxiu first captured were all demoralized and cringe.

After a few face-to-face encounters, although he also killed four water bandits in Qinglongzhai, he lost a total of five people himself.

This embarrassing scene naturally fell into Chu Tianxiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just continued to kill the water bandits who stood in his way without haste.

Kill, kill, kill.

At this moment, Chu Tianxiu seemed to be transformed into a god of death, without any pity in his heart, and quietly harvested these life forms that were stained with sin from body to soul.
