Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Jia Ping truthfully reported the day's battle situation to Li Xu, and even told them all about their conversation. After reading the letter he sent, Li Xu asked Liu Shu speechlessly: "Now some people think that the king and Kou Are you at odds with the general?"

Liu Shu hesitated for a moment, and said, "It should be only a small part, and they must have never seen you get along with General Kou to think so."

"Then it's no wonder Wu Yun thinks so. He actually wants to use Kou Xiao to deal with Nanyue. He's really naive."

Liu Shu bent down with a smile, and said flatteringly, "That's because he has blind eyes. I don't know how good your relationship with General Kou is."

Li Xu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, dating is a private matter, it's really uncomfortable to be teased like this, but then again, Kou Xiao has been away for more than a month, and I really miss him.

Li Xu had never been in a relationship in his previous life, so he didn't know how it felt like the two separated after being together. He was obviously not very worried about him, but he couldn't help but want him to come back soon.

He sighed, wrote a reply letter on paper, and asked Liu Shu to send someone to Jia Ping, "According to the time, Kou Xiao should have already landed on the island, so I don't know if things will go well. The days are numbered, and with this thought, he will definitely speed up his trip back.”

"Then we can't let him go, otherwise General Kou will be in danger."

Li Xu fell into deep thought. No matter which era, fighting a war is a matter of death. He naturally hopes to use more peaceful means to solve the problem, but can it really be resolved peacefully?

"Jia Ping said in the letter that when he mentioned Zhao'an, Wu Yun was just surprised but did not refute it. Tell me, is Zhao'an possible?"

"Oh, my lord, how is this possible? They are a group of bandits, murderous, even if they agree to recruit, think about the people of South Vietnam and the dead soldiers, who will accept them? When the time comes , I still have to beat you to death."

Li Xu nodded, and said in a low voice, "If you don't die, don't stop...then there's nothing to think about."

"Young island master, shall we fight or withdraw?" There was no movement for two consecutive days, and the pirates also began to feel uneasy.

Several generals surrounded Wu Yun, wanting him to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Young island master, since we know that Kou Xiao led the troops to the shelter island, let's rush back as soon as possible. Although the island's defense is strong enough, it is not foolproof after all."

"I really think we can destroy this South Vietnam Navy before going back, otherwise the other party will definitely catch up. Their ships are very powerful, fast and strong. If they are used for a long time, we will suffer. It is impossible for the island to be destroyed for a while. Break through, we will take down this navy, but it will not take a few days."

"Hey, don't underestimate the enemy. We didn't get much benefit from them before, and we have only these people. We lose one and one less. They have the whole of South Vietnam as their backing, and they can continuously replenish their troops."

"Then we have to fight even more. Kill them all and rob their boats. Without the boats, no matter how many of them there are, it's useless. Isn't that how it used to be?"

This made a lot of sense, Wu Yun let out a sigh of relief, patted the table and said, "Fight! Regardless of the squabble between them and Kou Xiao, this battle must be won, otherwise what is the difference between our Shelter Island and those bums in the past !"

On this point, the two sides were surprisingly consistent, so in the early morning of the second day, when the sun just showed a little smile and the light shone on the sea, both sides saw the fleet that was approaching.

"Young island master, look, the number of their ships has increased!" The pirate standing on the high observation deck suddenly shouted.

The densely packed ships approached them, and they didn't need to bother to count to know that there were definitely more than twenty ships.

"Where did they get the boat?" Wu Yun roared angrily.

No one could answer his question. Everyone was frightened by the opponent's battle. When they got closer, many people gasped. How the hell are they still fighting? In just two days, there are more Four or five times as many ships came out, how did South Vietnam do it?

Wu Yun kicked away a subordinate next to him, "What are you afraid of? If you have more ships, you will definitely win? It's just a way to confuse people. Where did they get so many sailors? Hundreds of ships."

"Young island master is wise, look quickly, the boat ahead of them is obviously much smaller, it looks like a fishing boat." As the distance got closer, everyone could clearly see the other side's fleet, and naturally they also saw the fishing boat at the front of the fleet.

"Ha, who came up with such a clumsy plan, do we really think we are fools?" With a wave of Wu Yun's hand, the pirate's flag rose to the top, and the sound of drums spread from the captain's boat, and even reached the ears of the South Vietnamese soldiers on the opposite side. middle.

Jia Ping glanced at the fleet in front of him. He did not expect that King Shun not only sent a reply yesterday, but also sent dozens of ships, some new and some old. Full of people.

Cao Ji and Jia Ping were on the same boat, and he also looked at the fleet scattered in the sea, and he still felt incredible until now: "How did the prince do it?"

Jia Ping said without beginning or end: "We have been going to sea for more than a month."

"Yeah, so what?"

"For others, a month may not be long, but for the prince, this time is enough to do many things."

"Hiss...Your Highness, did you use all of South Vietnam's strength to fight this battle?"

"Yes, the lord said, we must use the least sacrifice to win the victory."

Cao Ji is not optimistic about this improvised fleet. No matter how many ships and people there are, what is the use of non-professionals?

"But what use are they? They're no better than recruits."

"You have to try it to know if it works." Jia Ping ignored him and concentrated on directing the team to change formation to meet the enemy's arrival.

The two sides have already played against each other, and they have a certain understanding of each other. Wu Yun stopped 500 meters away from the Nanyue Navy, and 100 meters ahead, he should enter the archer's range. Come on, they didn't suffer less last time.

He shouted to the other party: "The unknown general, are you going out to sea with your family? Why are you even driving a fishing boat? Haha, do you want to send you some seafood?" Laughing wantonly, the laughter spread far and wide.

Jia Ping raised his hand, and a high-pitched drum sound was heard in everyone's ears. Immediately afterwards, dozens of huge arrows shot out from the ships behind and flew straight towards the pirate's ships.

No, these are not arrows anymore, each one is as thick as an adult man's arm, nearly three meters in length, and smashed heavily into the pirate's boat.

It is not ideal to use this thing to hurt people. After all, it is not fast. Anyone who is not too unlucky is avoided, but it hits a tree root and mast, destroys the rudders of several ships, and even has a straight stick into it. The hull was almost cut off by the middle of the ship.

Before they could react, the second round of attacks arrived. This time, it was not arrows, but countless round spheres, which reminded Wu Yun of those black balls like thunder by the lake. That thing, they can't get close to each other at all, just one or two black balls can blow up their ship.

"Back up!"

"Young island master, you can only turn around."

"Nonsense! Then turn around quickly!" As soon as the voice fell, the sphere had already fallen, and some pirates subconsciously swung their knives. Then, the sphere burst and liquid spilled down.

"No, it's kerosene!"

Wu Yun also chopped a ball, which was doused with kerosene. He looked at the rags lying on the deck, and then realized that the balls thrown by the other party were balls poured out of intestines. It breaks at the touch of a finger.

But they are obviously far away, what kind of thing did they use to throw things over?

This has to praise the craftsmen of the palace. Li Xu originally asked them to study artillery, but he just provided an idea, saying that he wanted to throw something far away. As a result, Zhang Shuo led the craftsmen to make it for him. A remote catapult.

Therefore, these fishing boats sent by Li Xu are all equipped with a catapult of this kind. It does not limit the shape and size of the thrown objects. It is most suitable for dealing with enemies who are dealing with them for the first time. Dodge the attack.

At this moment, Jia Ping ordered the navy fleet to advance at full speed, passed the fishing boats, and shot rockets at the pirates' boats. Once the flames of the arrows were stained with kerosene, they would immediately ignite.

Wu Yun narrowly avoided a rocket, but when the arrow hit the deck, it still sparked a string of flames. The pirates on the ship were so overwhelmed that they had no time to put out the fire. Some people even cried for help when they were on fire. Jump into the sea.

Wu Yun ordered the burning ship to abandon the ship. As a result, the sea began to become lively again. A number of pirates swam from the water to the intact ship.

But it's not bad to be alive. More pirates were shot through the head by South Vietnamese archers as soon as they emerged in the water.

Time passed bit by bit, and the two camps looked at each other from a distance across a fire belt, and it was clear at a glance who would win.

"Damn it!" Wu Yun slammed his fist on the pillar and roared angrily, "I don't believe it! Hit again!"

Using the sea as a battlefield is another unique experience. Cao Ji gained an experience from these two confrontations, that is: long-distance attack is the sure rule of victory in naval battles!

After two rounds of attacks, the opponent lost more than a dozen boats, and there were thousands more corpses on the sea, but they were unscathed. This ratio is terrible, and King Shun who made this decision is also terrible. I haven't even been to the scene, it's really strategizing.

Seeing the fishing boat retreating backwards, Cao Ji said with emotion: "For the first time in my life, I know that with this kind of boat, this group of people who have nothing but strength can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. General Kou should be sad when he comes back."

Jia Ping looked at him and said earnestly: "This is an effect that can only be achieved by surprise, but it will not be the result if they are prepared."

"That's true."

"Don't be emotional, they have come around."

"Hey, let's fight, we have ten new ships, let them see the power of our new ships."

The ten new ships that Li Xu sent to them were more like mobile fortresses, specially prepared for archers, with holes for shooting, but around the holes were solid shields, which couldn't hurt them a single bit. Therefore, anyone who can shoot arrows can board the boat.

Half a day later, the morale of the pirates was low and they had no intention of resisting. Many people suggested to Wu Yun: "Young island master, let's retreat first. Today's preparations are not enough, and the other party has a new move. Let's make a comeback when we are fully prepared! "

If the fight continues like this, they will be wiped out without even touching a single hair of the other party. There is no chance of close combat at all. This battle is too embarrassing.

It's not that Wu Yun doesn't know this truth, but how can he retreat again and again, this time, even if they return to the shelter island, their own prestige will be lost. Adopted sons can be changed, and so can heirs. As long as the old island owner is around, who cares about a young island owner?

His confidant came over and whispered: "Young island master, why not retreat back, if we catch up with Kou's army attacking the island, we can still make meritorious deeds, then we will only say that the news is wrong, we underestimated the strength of Nanyue, no one will embarrass you. "

Wu Yun glared at him, his mind turned quickly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decisively ordered to retreat, but he thought that the Nanyue Navy might not let them go.

The fact was the same. Seeing them turn around and run away, Jia Ping immediately ordered to chase them. In the end, Wu Yun made a decisive decision, abandoned several boats and set fire to the fleet heading for South Vietnam, only to hold them back.

When Jia Ping and the others bypassed the burning ship, they could only see black dots disappearing on the sea level line.

"Follow them, don't lose the boat, let them lead the way." Jia Ping left half of the people behind to let them go back, and he led the rest to catch up. Without these pirates leading the way, Jia Ping would not have confidence Find sheltered islands in the middle of nowhere.

Qin Zuxin returned to the room, looked at the two guards who followed in, and when the door closed, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground, "General Kou, how could you go deep into the dangerous place? It's too dangerous." Mr. Hu was dressed up by General Kou, which was too scary. Fortunately, he didn't know it before, otherwise he would definitely reveal his secrets.

Kou Xiao sat aside, put a fruit in his mouth, looked at him and said, "Just pretend you don't know, everything is going according to the previous plan, old man Wu must be very suspicious of us, but he is very conceited, You definitely didn’t take us seriously, this is your chance to perform.”

"But……"

Kou Xiao glanced at the door and said loudly: "Master Qin, don't worry, I, Lu Kui, will protect you to the end if I take your bodyguard, but your slave just said that he wanted to kill you in front of Wudao Master." Change the master, hehe, you have to be careful when you sleep."

Before Qin Zuxin had time to collude with them, he listened to Kou Xiao make up his own identity in a daze, and even developed a relationship with his alien guards, and he acted for real.

Qin Zuxin admired this boy from a different race. He heard that he was a slave of Prince Shun's mansion. He was recommended to the army because of his natural strength. Unexpectedly, he dared to argue with General Kou. Although he was acting, he was brave enough.
