Chapter 35 When will Brother Yuan call on me to kill the enemy?
When they reached the deck, Zhang Yuan raised his right arm and swung the long knife in his hand in an arc.

"call out--"

The blade whistled sharply as it scraped against the side of the ship.

The sharp blade passed in front of four or five bandits who were manipulating the oars and trying to pull the boat back to the middle of the river.

Blood and broken limbs.

There is also broken wood pulp.

The long knife stabbed into the cabin with a "bang", and the blade penetrated two feet into the wood.

There were screams and wails from the side of the ship.

Without anyone to paddle the boat, the wooden boat spun in the river and crashed into the shore.

"kill him--"

"Get him down!"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan had no knife in his hand, several knife-wielding bandits roared and rushed towards him.

If they don’t kick Zhang Yuan off the boat, they will die!
Zhang Yuan took a step forward with his hands empty and raised his arms.

Mountain boxing, move mountains to reach mountains.

"Bam—"

The two bandits who were chopped down by the long swords were knocked away and fell into the cabin two meters away, breaking the five-inch thick wooden board of the cabin and falling in.

This attack made the other two bandits who were rushing over stop in their tracks, their faces turning pale.

Too strong!

The strength displayed by Zhang Yuan was beyond their ability to cope.

Zhang Yuan did not stop and raised his left arm.

Step forward and bump elbows.

Iron-armored fist, hanging elbow.

"Bam—"

The thick mast broke with a sound, and the white canvas hanging on it fell with the mast, covering the cabin and deck, and also covering up several bandits.

A long knife stabbed towards Zhang Yuan from between the canvas and the rope.

Zhang Yuan raised his left hand and blocked with his arm.

"when--"

The long knife broke.

Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the blade of the broken knife, and stabbed it into the shoulder of the bandit who drew the knife. The blade pierced into his right shoulder and went one foot into his body.

Zhang Yuan twisted his hand, and the blade cut the bandit's heart and lungs. Blood gushed out of the bandit's mouth, and his body fell limp.

Before he could fall, Zhang Yuan kicked the bandit in the chest.

His chest was visibly collapsed, and his body tore through the white sail behind him, leaving a bloody mark more than ten feet long.

"Boom-"

The wooden boat, without a mast and oars to control it, crashed into the river bank.

The bandits on the boat were staggering here and there, but Zhang Yuan was the only one who seemed to be rooted to the ground and did not move at all.

Before the boat could stabilize, figures in black armor rushed onto the deck from the river bank.

Yu Changlong rushed to Zhang Yuan's back with a spear in hand. Feng Cheng and two other soldiers panted and rushed to the deck. They hurried to Zhang Yuan's side and established the Canglang battle formation.

On the other side of the ship, several figures climbed up, and the leader was Chen Wu.

Chen Wu held the knife in his hand and shouted softly, then stabbed the bandit who was running towards him through with the long knife.

He kept walking, holding the knife in his hand, grabbed the collar of the bandit with blood oozing from his mouth, and pushed him, along with five or six bandits behind him, and pushed them seven or eight steps to the deck.

At this time, the deck was full of soldiers in black armor. How could they survive on the deck?

Feng Cheng and other recruits were speechless when they saw this scene.

It’s bad enough that Zhang Yuan is very powerful in martial arts, but Chen Wu is also so strong?
Xu Xianzhong, the county lieutenant of Yong'an County, who was watching the battle on the shore in the distance, turned his head and looked at the sergeant of Luyang Prefecture who had just come to his side.

"Sergeant, has this Captain Zhang ever served in the army?"

The sergeant looked at the battle situation where the black-armored soldiers on the ship ahead were crushing the enemy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This guy spent three months in the military five years ago."

Five years ago, three months?
Even with this, one can hone such cultivation and combat power, as well as a decisive and murderous character?
The captain of the police, Gao Tong, who was standing behind Xu Xianzhong, had a puzzled look on his face.

What kind of army can produce such a person in just three months?

Even the border troops who are constantly fighting are unlikely to do this, right?

Besides, there has been no war around Luyang Prefecture for five years.

Five years?

Five years ago, three months?
Xu Xianzhong shuddered all over and looked at the sergeant with wide eyes: "Five years ago, Zhang, Zhang, Second Master?"

The sergeant put his hands behind his back and coughed lightly: "Don't take those nicknames seriously. We call him Erhe and Xiaoyuan in the yamen." Although he said this, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

"No wonder, no wonder..." Xu Xianzhong slowly turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan on the deck.

It's normal to be able to return after a fierce battle in Toyota in March.

On the boat, the bandits were either running away, or jumping into the water, or fighting with roars.

Zhang Yuan led Yu Changlong and others to form a formation, and killed their way through the porthole on the side and reached the rear deck.

Feng Cheng and the other two soldiers were covered in blood, their hands and feet trembling.

In close combat, if you don't kill someone, you will be killed.

Arriving at the rear deck, Zhang Yuan looked over the side of the ship at the third wooden boat which had barely adjusted its hull and was heading downstream.

Five meters away.

"Old Yu, you take them."

Zhang Yuan let out a low shout and reached out to grab a two-meter-long bamboo pole on the deck.

"Chen Wu, Xu Qian, Guan Daniu, Deng Hua—"

Zhang Yuan's voice rang out.

In the cabin, there were a few shouts, and Chen Wu, covered in blood, and three other soldiers ran out.

Zhang Yuan thrust the bamboo pole forward into the water, and with the help of the pole, he rushed towards the boat over there.

When the bamboo pole passed the midpoint, Zhang Yuan let go of it, stepped on the pole with one foot, kicked it back towards the stern of the boat, and used the force of this step to rush to the deck of the third boat.

Before he landed on the ground, he unsheathed his long sword and slashed it horizontally, forcing back several bandits who had surrounded him. Then he rolled on the ground and stabbed a bandit's instep with his sword, piercing through the instep and the deck of the ship together.

On the deck, the bandits whose feet were pierced wailed in pain.

Behind Zhang Yuan, Chen Wu had already stepped forward with the help of a bamboo pole.

Zhang Yuan pulled back his sword and raised his hand to gesture to Chen Wu.

Chen Wu nodded and rushed forward along the side of the rear deck.

Zhang Yuan pulled out the short knife from his waist with one hand and rushed forward from the other side with the long knife in the other hand.

In the rear, the soldiers Zhang Yuan had named earlier had already used bamboo poles to gain momentum and rushed to the deck.

Feng Cheng and other recruits looked at this scene with envy on their faces.

"When will Brother Yuan call on me to kill the enemy..." the new recruit beside Feng Cheng whispered.

"You all have a chance." Yu Changlong glanced at the others, then looked towards the cabin, knife in hand. "Follow me, and accumulate more military merits first."

……

The Yong'an County soldiers and yamen runners on the river bank, as well as Xu Xianzhong and others, all looked at Zhang Yuan and his men jumping off the boat to chase the enemy with admiration on their faces.

Only a true hero would dare to directly attack an enemy several times his number.

"After all, this is the city's military guards office, full of hidden talents..." Xu Xianzhong said softly with a look of emotion, "I thought only Captain Zhang was brave, but I didn't expect these guys to be so extraordinary."

Those who are in the acquired realm before the age of thirty are considered elites in a border city like Luyang Prefecture.

What's more, there are people like Chen Wu who are in the middle stage of the acquired realm.

The sergeant said nothing, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Bam—"

Zhang Yuan cut off the mast on the deck with a knife, and the wooden boat slowly turned sideways.

Knife in hand, his eyes fell on the bandits fleeing on the deck and in the cabin.

"Those who surrender will not be killed——"

His voice carried.

Many of the fleeing bandits trembled all over, hurriedly threw away their swords and guns, and squatted on the ground.

There were a few people with fierce looks on their faces. Chen Wu and his men quickly rushed forward, raised their swords and killed them directly.

There were three wooden boats, two of which were stranded and one was spinning sideways in the river bend.

On the boat, there were shouts and wails.

On the surface of the river, bright red blood flowed along the water, shining with the sunlight gradually moving westward.

"Woo——"

From downstream, the sound of a horn was heard.

More than a dozen ships of various sizes were sailing upstream.

On the deck, there were soldiers holding weapons, young men holding sticks, and officials in green uniforms who were protected in the crowd.

"The magistrate of Yong'an County is here. The bandits shall die—"
