Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh: three in one
Pan Shan, the leader of the bandit in Nandongting Lake, stood on his boat deck and stared at the dazzling fierce fight in the distance. He seemed to be even more nervous than the envoy of Zheng Wenchang standing beside him. This man looked extremely relaxed, as if victory was within reach.
The number of warships on both sides was similar and the number of soldiers was similar. Pan Shan originally thought that this would be a fierce battle that would be evenly matched. Whoever wins and loses is only between the two, but the situation became clear after only half an hour of fighting.
The former Dongting Lake troops, the most powerful force, were actually retreating step by step.
Seeing Pang Wen's warships being occupied by Zheng Wenchang's troops one by one, and as the flying fish flags belonging to Zheng Wenchang were rising, Pan Shan couldn't help but gasp.
He turned his head and glanced at the messenger beside him
Yes, the boats are similar, and the people are similar, but the combat quality and equipment of the personnel are too different. It was not until this moment that he came back to the taste that the people standing beside him had a completely different taste from those like them.
That's the taste of officers and soldiers.
After being a bandit for a long time, you can easily distinguish the completely different temperaments of soldiers and bandits.
The messenger standing beside him stood straight, clenching his fists slightly with one hand and holding the hilt of the knife around his waist with the other hand. The solemnity that was revealed on the water bandits would definitely not be seen.
"Brother, your surname?" Pan Shan bowed again and asked.
The messenger turned his head, looked at Pan Shan, and grinned, "Some family's surname is Yan, Yan Twenty-eight."
Yan Ershiba, this name is so strange. Pan Shan stagnated, but it immediately returned to normal. "Brother Pan, who are you?"
Yan Ershiba laughed.
"Why did President Pan have this question?"
Pan Shan took a deep breath and said, "Zheng Wenchang's leader suddenly rose three years ago. Three years ago, Xu He was the leader of Dongdongting. Xu He died in a fire. Zheng Wenchang only rose after Xu He died. What I know is that Dongdongting originally did not have a person like Zheng Wenchang. He is from outside, and you are from outside."
"The cleverness of the President Pan family!" Yan Ershiba smiled and said, "We are indeed from outside."
"Army?" Pan Shan's voice trembled. "Where do you belong to? It must not belong to the Qian family. The Qian family is over. Is it from the Ding family in Jinghu or the Zhu family in Daliang?"
Yan Ershiba leaned forward, stared at Pan Shan, and smiled and said, "Boss Pan, you guessed this wrong."
Pan Shan was a little confused and was about to ask again, but Yan Ershiba suddenly pointed forward and smiled and said, "Look, our Zheng Da Zheng family is coming to Pang Wen's warship! It seems that the war is about to end."
Pan Shan's body was shocked, and suddenly turned his head and looked forward. Two ships, which were much larger than ordinary warships, were entangled with each other. On the main masts of the two ships, a huge flying fish flag and a water snake flag were fluttering in the wind. It was the boats of Zheng Wenchang and Pang Wen.
The boss showdown!
A big fire like this, once a leader fails, the entire battle will basically end.
Pan Shan no longer had the interest in continuing to ask questions and stared at the two large ships tangled together in the distance.
Pang Wen was already a little panicked at this moment.
The battle process was far beyond his imagination. The opponent's excellent equipment and high fighting spirit were far beyond what his subordinates could compare to. Compared with his subordinates, the opponent seemed to have richer experience in how to kill people. In the short period of time between the two sides, his side had been defeated.
Killing Zheng Wenchang is his last choice and his last life.
The two ships leaned tightly together. In the first wave of contact, dozens of sailors were killed by the opponent with crossbows, which made Pang Wen feel very distressed. The opponent actually had so many crossbows.
It’s not that he can’t get a crossbow, but the crossbow is too expensive, and in his opinion, it’s completely unnecessary.
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
He saw the sailors on both sides strangled together, he saw the black armor exposed under the cut burqa of the other party, and he saw his most elite guard being chopped to death on the boat like the other party chopping melons and vegetables.
Yu Yong, who had the last drumming, rushed towards Zheng Wenchang.
As the largest water bandit leader in Dongting Lake, his kung fu is naturally extraordinary.
Two swords intersected and sparks flew everywhere. Zheng Wenchang staggered back several steps, but his heart was slightly stern. The guy in front of him was obviously much better than himself.
But it doesn't matter. This is a war, not a skill or a competition in the world, or a face. For him, it doesn't matter at all. With a greeting, his subordinates who had already gained an absolute advantage on the ship gathered several people over in an instant. Everyone picked up their knives and slashed them together.
"Shameless!" Pang Wen blocked the left and right frame, and in an instant, there was danger in his eyes.
Zheng Wenchang laughed: "Pangda, do you think this is playing house?"
With the help of the left and right, Zheng Wenchang added a wound to Pang Wen's body several times.
Pang Wen retreated repeatedly, but this was not on the flat ground, but on a narrow boat with debris and ropes everywhere, with limited area of corpses. He tripped under his feet, staggered, and several knives slashed at the same time.
He held the handle of the knife in one hand and the back of the knife in the other hand, and tried his best to hold several knives. He didn't want a rope to throw it from behind and put it on his neck straight. Just pull it, it pulled Pang Wen over to the ground.
The rope was tightly tied and tightly wrapped around his neck. Pang Wen wanted to sway the knife to cut off the rope, but was pressed by several knives in front of him. He could no longer breathe. The hand holding the back of the knife had no choice but to pull the rope hard. After letting go, several knives cut down at the same time. In an instant, there were a few ferocious wounds on his body.
Zheng Wenchang took a big step, and the tip of the knife had already pressed against Pang Wen's neck.
"It's over from the head of Pangda!" Zheng Wenchang said with a loud laugh.
"I surrender to the head of Zheng Da, I have something to say." Pang Wen shouted at the moment of life and death.
"Before dying, I'll give you a chance." Zheng Wenchang sneered.
"I am willing to surrender. I have a great opportunity to give it to you." Pang Wen, whose neck was getting tighter and his face was blue, said with a little difficulty.
"A great opportunity?" Zheng Wenchang laughed: "You want to tell me that you have already stepped on the line with Zhu Youzhenda and are you ready to surrender to him?"
"How do you know?" Pang Wen was shocked.
Zheng Wenchang approached him and sneered, "Let you be a wise ghost. A certain family comes from the north and belongs to the Tang Dynasty Navy and is named a guerrilla general. Zheng Wenchang is the same. Now, you can die."
Taking a step back and waved his hand, several soldiers behind Pang Wen pulled the rope hard. With a huh, Pang Wen's burly figure was pulled up and hung high in the air.
Pang Wen grabbed the rope with both hands and struggled desperately. Zheng Wenchang laughed and flew out of his hand. With a squeak, the horizontal knife in his hand was inserted straight into Pang Wen's stomach, and blood was immediately sprinkled from the air.
Pang Wen screamed, his hands drooping, trying to cover the wound on his stomach, but his neck was immediately tightened. He struggled in the air for a few times, and there was no sound again.
His body was pulled higher and higher, hanging in the air, blown by the lake wind, floating and swaying.
As soon as Pang Wen died, the water bandits in Xidongting lost their final fighting momentum in an instant. For a moment, the remaining ships scattered into birds and beasts and fled in all directions.
Yan Ershiba looked at the overall situation and looked at Pan Shan with a smile: "Boss Pan, have you not made a decision yet? You must not miss the opportunity, you will never come again!"
Pan Shan looked at the corpse of Pang Wen who was swaying around in the distance in a daze. Pang Wen, who had been living all the time, died so embarrassedly. In addition, he was reminded by Yan Ershiba and immediately came to his senses.
"Whoever gave a banner and told Zheng Dazhong that Pan Shan decided to surrender. In the future, only Zheng Dazhong followed him and ordered all his brothers to surround Pang Wen's subordinates, so that they could not let them escape from a ship." Pan Shan shouted.
Dozens of warships from Nandongting, which had been watching from the wall, immediately joined the war to encircle Pang Wen's troops. Pan Shan, led by Yan Ershiba, slowly leaned towards Zheng Wenchang's ship.
"Congratulations to Zheng Da Zheng." Pan Shan bent down humbly at Zheng Wenchang, who was wiping the blood on the knife.
"Brother Pan, you will be a family in the future, so there is no need to be so polite." Zheng Wenchang smiled: "Next, I will ask the head of Deng to take your subordinates to suppress Pang Wen's water camp. Don't kill the families of those water bandits indiscriminately, and you must control them in your hands."
Pan Shan nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
"There must be left behind in Pang Wenshui Village. Brother Pan will definitely be damaged when he goes there. In addition to not being able to kill indiscriminately, Brother Pan can take over the property in the water village and will not let your brother travel in vain." Zheng Wenchang said with a smile.
"Thank you, Zheng Da, for yourselves." Pan Shan was happy. As the leader of Dongting Lake, Pang Wen was naturally full of oil and water in the water village. He didn't expect that he could make a fortune this time.
"It's not too late. Brother Pan will go now. After taking the water camp, he will come to Hanshou County to meet me." Zheng Wenchang waved his hand and said.
On Hengling Lake, the war finally came to an end. On the surface of the lake, there were burning warships everywhere, countless corpses floated on the water, and some small boats wandered on the water. Whenever they saw that there were still alive, they would twitch down and drag people onto the boat. As for those who died, they would naturally become food for fish and shrimps in the water.
In this battle, Zheng Wenchang won a great victory, and captured thousands of water bandits, with more than a hundred ships of all sizes. Although most of them were scarred, they could still be used after going back to repair them.
