Swallowed by Whales

Snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways.

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

After Chu Tianxiu gave a few instructions and promised not to take the lives of these water bandits, they poured out all the news they knew about their fellow water bandits to Chu Tianxiu, just like pouring beans.

Chu Tianxiu finally had a real understanding of the water bandits in the river.

On this river, there are as many water bandits as there are on the river, and there are as many types as there are on the river.

Some of them are "lake bandits" who usually stay in Panyang Lake and Dongting Lake. They wait and move when the time comes and specialize in robbing large merchants.

Some are "reed bandits" who hide in the reed bushes and specialize in robbing small businesses.

Some are "fisher bandits" who were born as fishermen, half fishermen and half bandits.

Others were the "bandits" formed by the defeated troops after the failure of the three conquests of Goryeo in the Sui Dynasty.

But generally speaking, 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. They have a few small boats, ranging from a few, a dozen to dozens of people. On weekdays, they can only rob ordinary merchants passing by.

It's just a small business without capital, and the number of such "little bandits" on the river is also the largest, at least hundreds or thousands of shares.

The scale of the second type of water bandits is larger. Not only do they have more ships, they also have large ships with a carrying capacity of dozens or hundreds of stones. They are also on the shore or on the small island in the middle of the river.

There is a water village as a base, similar to the water village in Liangshan when Wang Lun, the "gentleman in white", was in charge in Water Margin.

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 show their names and say something like "I drove this mountain and planted this road. If you want to think about it,

On this road, there are slang words such as "leaving money to buy the road".

"This group of water thieves looks pretty good. Xiliang, please stop the boat and wait until their people get on our boat before we attack together. By the way, let the people below be more careful while fighting.

Stand firm on the boat, don't capsize the boat in the gutter."

When the group of them drove in the direction of Qinglong Village, they were really arrogant and didn't even try to hide it at all.

This is a group of medium-sized water bandits, with a number of around two to three hundred people. They have a fixed water village by the river. They not only rob merchants passing by on the river, but also invade the surrounding fishing villages and towns, killing people and setting fires.

Do no evil.

Chu Tianxiu didn't spend much effort to deal with the enemies he went to. However, the newly captured prisoners by Chu Tianxiu were all low in morale and timid.

Chu Tianxiu generally cannot afford to offend the forces on the river, those real "big bandits". After all, he can't defeat Du Fuwei, who is already at the level of a master and has "the world in his sleeves".

After Chu Tianxiu casually slaughtered the water bandits, he heard someone among the pirates shouting loudly, and then he realized that he must have killed a small boss.

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

"Do it! Kill!"

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

"Oh no, the second boss is dead!"

Even if he can take a step back, there is no need for him to fight. After all, he is still in the stage of accumulating strength and has not yet reached the stage of standing on the big stage of the whole world.

So before he could rush to the water village by the river, there were two warships that were a little more pointed and narrow than the merchant ship he was sitting on, but a few feet longer, giving them the upper hand in maneuverability.

They flew over from left to right and trapped his merchant ship from left to right.

After the two knives collided together, Chu Tianxiu suddenly felt a weak scorching energy extending towards him from the collision point of the blades. After making his hand feel slightly numb, he was immediately overwhelmed by his own energy that was like a surging river tide.

After the Qi was extinguished, the big knife on the back of his hand was shattered into pieces, and he chopped it down.

After Chu Tianxiu glanced at the group of water bandits, he nodded with slight satisfaction and gave instructions.

But I didn't expect that this group of ordinary thieves would be so straightforward.

Even though the scene was a little bloody, Chu Tianxiu's expression remained unchanged, and his movements did not change at all. He held the knife in both hands and slashed left and right several times. He chopped off the heads of three or four people in a row, causing the gushing blood to contaminate a large area of ​​the deck.

It turned it blood red.

Fortunately, the world is in chaos, and there are countless water pirates on the Yangtze River. After Chu Tianxiu tortured these young water thieves in detail, and learned about the conditions on the surrounding rivers from their mouths, he quickly identified the most suitable ones to attack.

goal.

The representative figures among them are the "Dajiang Club" and the "Tieqi Club", 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 should be called

"Rebels", and the best among them are Du Fuwei of Jianghuai and Li Zitong of Hailing.

After one blow, a long and thin blood mark appeared on the man's forehead, and he fell directly to the ground.

When he was fighting in the Zhuhua Gang in his early years, he was so horrified by the fighting with hundreds or even thousands of people that he vomited.

So without much hesitation, he drove his own merchant ship and his own manpower, took thirty newly captured pirates and killed them in the direction of the water stronghold.

After Chu Tianxiu greeted them, Gui Xiliang behind him also shouted, leading the more than ten veteran elites and newly conquered water bandits to kill the water bandits with one shot, and the two sides fought.

together.

They didn't talk nonsense, and Chu Tianxiu didn't talk nonsense either. After he shouted loudly, he pulled out the big knife from his back and pointed at the one who was charging the fastest. He was short, lean, with gray skin and very mobile.

It was a pirate who was agile and wielded a slender sharp knife and slashed through.

The third type of water bandits is even more remarkable. The smallest among them can also occupy a large area of ​​​​the river in the form of a gang, and can be called a hero.

The reason why Chu Tianxiu chose this group of people in the first wave was not because he wanted to do justice for heaven and do justice, but because this wave of water bandits was not only larger in scale, but also relatively close to his current location.

It also has a clear nest, making it the easiest to clean up.

After giving a few instructions to him, the two pirate ships finally came closer. The thieves swarmed up, jumped onto the deck, and started to kill him.

So now, it is more suitable for him to practice with some medium-sized ones and devour them as his own supplies. That would be perfect.

The pirates on both sides had just fought and bumped into each other, and they could see the gap between them. The men led by Chu Tianxiu not only had high morale and strong personal force, but also worked in groups of three to five to support each other.

, formed a small formation and behaved in a moderate manner.

When the pirate saw Chu Tianxiu's sword, he was frightened and hurriedly raised the long sword in his hand and drove over.

"kill!"

Even within the water bandit profession, his reputation is relatively poor.

It was obvious that this group of water bandits had set their sights 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 that there were dozens of people standing on each ship's deck.

Everyone was holding bows and arrows, holding fishing rods and other tools to lock the boat, running back and forth in a menacing manner. They were obviously more professional than the group of thieves Chu Tianxiu had just caught.

After several encounters, although he also killed four water bandits in Qinglong Village, he himself lost five people.

This embarrassing scene naturally fell into Chu Tianxiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just continued what he was doing, killing the water bandits blocking his way in a leisurely manner.

Kill, kill, kill.

At this moment, Chu Tianxiu seemed to have transformed into the god of death, without any emotion of mercy in his heart, quietly harvesting these life forms that were contaminated from body to soul with sin.
