Through the fairy valley

The news that the seventh son of the Hang family and the great businessman from Borneo were assassinated at the gate of Luoxing Tower spread throughout Nandu.

"You said that a few black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared to protect Mr. Qian and the others?" Chang Luo asked Yingsheng curiously.

"Yes!" Ying Sheng still had lingering fears when he thought of what happened last night.

"How many archers are there?" The last "doctor" of the "Four Young Masters of Nandu" who spoke was Wang Enhuai, the son of Fu, the head of the Imperial Hospital.

"There are at least a dozen of them. They are all first-class assassins. They shot arrows in all directions in the dark night. I happened to be at the door at the time, and I was about to go up to greet those two Bornean guests!"

"However, their guards, that is, the warriors in black are really strange. Not only did they suddenly appear out of thin air, but they also used their bodies to block the bows and arrows without even thinking about it. Those people were shot by the bows and arrows and almost moved. They don't move, and continue to protect their master, as if they are not human!" Wen An also said resentfully.

"I knew these two Borneans were unusual. Where are those archers?" Chang Luo asked curiously.

"I was immediately thrown down by the Eastern guard with the arrows he took in his hand, and the next few are even more amazing!"

"What kind of strange method?"

"All of them were poked off by his finger in the air, and they fell to the ground one by one and fell to death."

"Oh, killing people in the air?" Chang Luo fought with the guards, and his shoulders are still sore. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that the other party is still merciful.

"Did it fail?" Hang San sat on the boat heading for Jiuhe County, surrounded by his subordinates who escaped back last night.

"Yes, young master, the other side's guards appeared almost out of nowhere at some point, and used people as human walls to block the arrows, but if the seventh young master is hit by an arrow, he will definitely die!"

Hang San slightly closed his eyes: "The prince gave the poison on the arrow, and only the prince has the antidote in the world, and Lao Qi is sure to die."

"We found out that the imperial physician was in the Hang mansion last night, master, is the prince's poison not effective?"

Hang San sneered: "I deliberately didn't use strong medicine. Only by exhausting the rest of our Hang family can the prince take advantage of the strong north wind and go south in one fell swoop."

In December, which rose suddenly in the north, the weather was surprisingly dry, and the Zhaojun Navy, which had a routine every night, did not withdraw its troops back to the village at five o'clock as usual this night.

On the contrary, what ushered in was the trebuchets and huge rockets of the giant battleship behind. Yaojun's battleship was ignited by the rocket, and the roaring north blew the entire south bank into thick smoke.

The navy of Yaoguo's upper and lower camps quickly attacked, and was bombarded by Zhaoguo's series of warships, which had the upper hand.

The battle came very suddenly, and the invited generals of the Yao army were stunned to see the roaring rockets and boulders on the river.

"What to do, we don't have the upper air, we have to get out of the front and attack from up and down!" The general of the Yaojun navy asked General You for instructions.

"Okay, let the upstream giant ship maintain its formation and press down, and grab back to the upper air outlet. The downstream clippers rush up and set fire to disrupt the opponent's ship formation. The front navy retreats into the camp, uses the camp trebuchet, and orders the ground troops to follow suit. Cooperate, don't use heavy rockets and lime, and wait for the wind to stop before counterattacking." General You Da's series of orders were decisive and clear, very aimed at Zhao's offensive, and also very aware of his own disadvantages.

Meanwhile, King Ming's navy dispatched dozens of speedboats to stop upstream, guarding their own river boundary, as quiet as before the battle, as if the battle below had nothing to do with them.

In the middle reaches of the river, Zhaoguo's giant ships and serial warships confronted Yaoguo's medium-sized building ships and some giant ships. Because of the headwind, they did not dare to launch rockets.

The downstream support speedboat was intercepted by Zhaoguo's medium-sized warship. The two sides first shot at each other with bows and arrows, and after approaching, spears and javelins came and went. Finally, the two ships collided and fought hand-to-hand.

One side's order is to defend to the death, and the other side's order is to attack to the death.

When the sky was clear, General You looked up at the huge ships of his own that were slowly approaching upstream. The serial warships of the Zhaoguo Navy in the middle of the river had already formed a giant chain bridge and rushed directly to the river bank. The infantry formation on the serial ships could not be seen at a glance.

"Hold on to me!" General You roared, and the flag bearer and the drums beside him could be heard endlessly, commanding the army in Dazhai to resist the enemy.

The four chain boats of Zhaoguo went straight to the river bank where the other party was lost. Behind the boat was a black iron chain.

"No, they are going to block the river." Yun Luo looked at it with a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the chain ship Zhao Jun turned around and went straight up, meeting the giant Yao Jun ship that was rushing down.

"How could this chain stop our giant ship from coming down?" the supervisor asked curiously.

And the answer comes out before anyone says it.

The Zhaojun speedboat that had been at the boundary river before watched the giant Yaojun ship go straight down, without any intention of attacking.

And when the iron rope crossed the river, the speedboat was dispatched quickly, dozens of sailors paddled at the same time, the sails were immediately pulled up, and while the north wind was whistling, they rushed straight to the giant warship sailing along the river.

"No, sink them quickly!" General You Da issued an order, and four horns sounded at the same time, conveying the command order.

But at this time, even the commanding generals on the ship had no time to react. The speedboat rushed to the giant ship burst into flames. Instead of abandoning the boat, the oarsmen on the boat speeded up the boat until the iron needles in front of the speedboat were inserted into the giant ship. .

"This lunatic, this group of lunatics!" Seeing that the people on the other party's speedboat were swallowed up by the fire before they could dive in, General You's scalp was numb, and his own warship was caught in the flames, and it burst into flames. The ignition fuel on the Zhaojun speedboat was released There were bursts of rumbling explosions.

Huge flames jumped onto the giant Zhaoguo ship, and the giant ships near the periphery caught fire one after another. The giant ship on the inland river side was also shrouded in thick smoke, and the entire upstream was instantly filled with black smoke.

And the Central Serial Fleet, which was waiting for this fighter, rushed towards the river bank at full speed, and the creaking sound of the wooden warehouses at the bottom of the ship and the wooden stakes blocking the river of Yaojun continued to come from the bottom of the ship.

"I will bring archers and axemen to resist, and the opponent looks like they are going to grab the beach!" The deputy general with the army drew his sword and immediately went down to the watchtower.

"Kill!!!" A huge roar came from the Zhaojun serial ship, and the Zhaojun serial ship close to the Yaoguo battleship lowered its sails, and countless knives and axemen charged towards them with the sails, and the front navy of the Yaojun was in chaos and shouted to kill Voice.

Another team of double chain boats from the side of the river took advantage of the gap between the iron cables and crossed the river, and inserted them directly into the land on the opposite bank without any danger. At the same time, the sound of 'woo~woo! '

"Kill!" Zhao Guo's cavalry rushed down from the middle of the two boats, and after gathering, they rushed towards the rear of Yaojun's navy camp on the river beach.

"General, I'm afraid the frontier is not guaranteed. You leave the city immediately and go to Nan'an to sit in the town. In the end, the general is willing to defend Jiuhe to the death!" Yun Luo knelt and said.

"If I don't leave, the navy is defeated, the Jiuhe is not guaranteed, and we don't have a great river and natural moat, how can I be worthy of Yaoguo's elders!" General You drew his sword, his eyes were red, and his pupils were filled with blood.

"General, the upstream navy is still there. Our army regroups the navy and destroys the opponent's chain of ships. The enemy will be defeated. As long as I block the enemy's army from crossing the river in Jiuhe and trap the opponent, then the enemy will be defeated." Jun is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!" Yun Luo persuaded.

"The main force of our navy is still there, I hope the general retreats quickly!" The Minister of the Ministry of War also knelt down and begged.

"General, retreat quickly!" All the generals knelt down and begged together.

General You looked at the leading lieutenant general who had already fought with the opponent's cavalry below, and sighed: "Order the navy to break through the encirclement, assemble upstream and stand by, call for gold to withdraw troops, allow you to guard Jiuhe, and I will send troops to rescue later!"

"Yes!" Yun Luo drew his sword and knelt down: "If the city is alive, the city will be destroyed!"

"Okay, you are worthy of being a good man of my Yao army. The cavalry went out of the city to respond, and the troops were withdrawn!" General You Da issued the last military order and led the generals down to the watchtower.

On the other side of the river, Ming Wang Zhiyue was dressed in a white mang gown with gold patterns and a red running wolf cloak, watching the fire on the opposite side, watching everything on the battlefield with a slight smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, our army has successfully crossed the river, and the cavalry has rushed ashore." The messenger came to report.

"Tell the vanguard officer, don't worry about the people who come out of their city. They must wipe out the Yaoguo navy in Dahe from both front and back. The medium-sized warships in the upper reaches will attack the giant warships of the Yao army. Make sure they lose as much as possible. , the Yaojun Navy was completely defeated, and we have no scruples on the river!"

And just after his order was issued, the navy in Yaoguo's middle camp chose to break out of the siege downstream under the predicament of being encircled.

A large number of archers lined up to the city wall of Jiuhe, and Yun Luo stood on the tower, watching the chaos ahead.

"General, the general has left!"

Yun Luo nodded, pointing at the Zhaoguo cavalry charging towards the naval camp and roaring: "I will pass on my general's order to fire rockets and burn down our front camp, and other strong archers will shoot and kill the enemy's horses with all their strength!"

"Fire the arrow!" The sound of the bowstring furiously pierced the sky.
