Reverse Junhou

Chapter 42 Watching the sea [2]

The ships of the West Wing Army have lined up outside the coastal defense line of Junliu Island, guarding the flagship in the shape of stars arching the moon.The leading giant chariot and ship raised the silver-rimmed Yandong Yanbei, blowing fiercely against the sea wind.

When the pirates on duty at night sensed that something was wrong, the advance battalion of the West Wing Army had boarded a boat and headed straight for the ferry.The sound of the horn of the enemy attack pierced the sky and awakened the sleeping island.Wushou's garrison army was running and shouting in the tents, gathering troops and preparing for the battle.

Flames arose on the surface of the water, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.The pirates on guard at the ferry ran up the gangway and rushed into battle. None of them expected that the West Wing Army would forcibly board Junliu Island after nightfall on the Ghost Festival.

The sea was on fire, and the ferry was in chaos.Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the crowd, Wen Xuechao rode on the horses that had been prepared and galloped towards Liujunling.

Groups of pirates rushed down from Liujunling, but no one noticed that there was someone going retrograde in the forest.

Wen Xuechao estimated the time in his heart.The night attack by the West Wing Army was just a cover to hold back the pirates, and Junliu Island was the base camp of Wushou.If Wushou puts all its strength into a frontal battle with the West Wing Army, within two hours, the West Wing Army's combat power will be exhausted.

To leave room for Zhao Fengci's army to retreat, he needs to connect the elite soldiers of the Yandong Army to the island within an hour.

Everything needs to be resolved quickly, if the stalemate is too long, Mrs. Wu will definitely find out that there is a fraud.

After running wildly for nearly half an hour, Wen Xuechao finally arrived at the cave in the back mountain.There was no one in the cave, and he walked all the way in the direction of the grotto, when he heard loud rumbling noises coming from the ground.

That was the sound made by five thousand Yandong elite soldiers marching in secret. They carried Chengjun's luggage and came towards Junliu Island to escape.

Wen Xuechao's heart shuddered.This cave is connected to the pavilions and pavilions on the back mountain. If he can hear such a loud noise, Mrs. Wu may be able to hear it too.If the Yandong army doesn't come out of the cave again, Mrs. Wu will send someone to check it out at some point.

Wen Xuechao stabilized his mind, and raised his voice towards the grotto: "My lord, Wenji, are you a soldier of the Yandong army?"

There was an empty echo in the cave, and the heavy footsteps in the depths of the grotto stopped.After a while, a person slowly walked out from the darkness.

Wen Xuechao recognized the person, and he was relieved.The person who came was Lieutenant General Lin under Zhu Shuai's command.

"I waited for the journey to be delayed, and I arrived half a day late, so Lord Wen has been waiting for a long time." Vice General Lin led the army to stay in the secret passage for three days, covered in dust, "His Royal Highness told us to stand still in the secret passage until the Lord shows up. to show up."

Wen Xue said in a condensed voice: "The West Wing Army has landed, I am afraid Wushou will find something strange here in a short time. General, hurry up and lead people out of the cave to avoid accidents."

After listening to Master Wen's order, Vice General Lin led a large group of Yandong Army out of the cave.The five thousand elite soldiers were dressed in light armor. Although they had been travelling, they were still full of energy and ready to fight.

Behind the elite soldiers was a team of transporting supplies, and everyone was lining up to transport the armaments, but they heard the sound of hooves of horses coming from outside the cave.

Wen Xue said badly to himself: "The people from Wushou found us."

Now it was too late to transport out the firearms and horses in the grotto, so he asked the lieutenant to quickly withdraw all the horses in the secret passage.As soon as the soldiers in the secret passage filed out, they heard the sound of weapons being exchanged from outside the cave.

The Yandong army who had just left the cave had already fought Wushou.

"Let's protect your lord to go out!" Deputy General Lin led a horse, ready to escort Wen Xuechao to break through the encirclement.

The two teams of soldiers and horses met hand-to-hand at the entrance of the cave, and began to fight hand-to-hand.Deputy General Lin held a shield in front to clear the way for Wen Xuechao, and Wen Xuechao followed closely behind him on horseback.

Wherever he looked, there were swords and swords. Deputy General Lin wiped a pirate's neck with his sword, and blood splattered on Wen Xuechao's cheek.

This is the first time he has faced the battlefield directly.

Deputy General Lin killed several people who stood in front of the formation, and was about to lead Lord Wen to break out, when he heard a shrill horse cry from behind him.He turned around quickly, and found that an arrow had hit the horse Lord Wen was riding, and the Lord fell straight off the horse.

"Master Wen!" Deputy General Lin roared, and was about to ride his horse back, but a few black heads rushed up in front of him.

Wen Xuechao rested her hands on the ground and looked up in the direction of the arrow.I saw the Wushou team guard named Liu Neng standing on the high ground in the distance, holding a bow and sneering at him.

Vice General Lin wrestled with several Wushou and was unable to escape for a while.He frequently looked sideways at Wen Xuechao behind him, his face full of anxiety.

"You take the Yandong Army and go first to help His Highness the Fifth!" Wen Xue said sharply, "The Wushou will not kill me!"

Lieutenant General Lin still turned to save him.

But I saw that Xue Chao picked up a blood-stained sword from the ground, held the sword and turned back towards the cave.His figure shuttled among the stalemate crowd, but no one stepped forward to fight him.

These [-] elite soldiers are His Royal Highness's only reinforcements. If they were to fall here, the Yandong Army would definitely be defeated.

Seeing more and more black heads coming to stop him, Vice General Lin gritted his teeth and shouted: "Get out!"

Five thousand Yandong elite soldiers charged bravely, broke out of Wushou's siege in a short while, and galloped towards the ferry.

*****

After clearing the battlefield, Liu Neng walked into the cave with a few cronies.

Arrows fell all over the ground, and a white figure was sitting on a boulder, holding a broken sword, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Wen Xue gave the visitor a cold look, with no expression on her face.

Liu Neng waved his hand, and several cronies behind him stepped forward with knives and surrounded Wen Xuechao.

"Madam trusts you so much, I didn't expect you to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf," Liu Neng narrowed his eyes, "When I first arrived, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. I put you under torture that day, and Madam beat you up afterward." I was fined."

Wen Xuechao was pressed against the neck with a knife blade, but the corner of his mouth was pulled into a smile: "What's the use of Liu Duishou saying these things now? In a few hours, when the sun rises, there will be no black heads in the world. "

Liu Neng sneered: "It doesn't matter whether there is a black head in this world. I just want to see, Mr. Tangtang Wen is in my hands, what bargaining chip does His Royal Highness Fifth Highness have for me?"

"The doctor is in danger, and my wife still insists on staying in the East China Sea. It's quite sad." Liu Neng said, "If it were me, I would find a boat and take my brothers to the south to go far, and start another mountain in the future."

Several cronies behind Liu Neng laughed when they heard this.

Wen Xue frowned and said nothing.

"Tie up Mr. Wen and take him to the ferry." Liu Neng said meaningfully, "Beatings and fights are not worth such a precious life as your lord."

"Your Highness, all the bandits on the ship have been killed, and there are still a few remnants of Wushou on the mausoleum, who are surrounding Madam Wu's residence and confronting the Yandong Army."

Zhao Fengci nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Wen Xuechao?"

"This subordinate is about to report to His Highness," the guard lowered his eyes, "Vice General Lin has sent an urgent report that Mr. Wen accidentally fell into the enemy's hands during the battle between Yandong Army and Wushou, and his current whereabouts are unknown."

Zhao Fengci's face darkened, and he walked down the watchtower quickly.He ordered his personal guards: "The second battalion on the west wing, the fifth battalion will follow me ashore, the third and fourth battalions will search at the ferry, and the rest will wait on the ship and wait in formation."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as Zhao Fengci got off the gangway, he saw a small group of pirates galloping towards the ferry on horseback, with a carriage behind them.

The exclamation of the generals of the West Wing Army came from the side, and Zhao Fengci took a closer look, who was it not Wen Xuechao who was tied up on the carriage?

The archers on the ship all raised their sharp arrows and aimed at the group of uninvited guests.

The leader was fearless, he pointed to Wen Xuechao behind him, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Let them put down their arrows." Zhao Fengci said calmly.

Seeing that the West Wing Army had withdrawn their offensive, the leader gradually showed a complacent expression on his face.He walked up to Wen Xuechao, and facing Zhao Fengci who was standing on the bow, cupped his hands and raised his voice: "Your Highness Fifth, guard Liu Neng in front of Wushou, here to send someone to His Highness."

Wen Xuechao looked across the sea of ​​people and landed on him.

There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, only to hear Zhao Fengci speak slowly: "Release him immediately, but you will not die, if someone is hurt—"

Zhao Fengci unsheathed the long sword in his hand: "It doesn't matter if you shoot or kill."

Liu Neng took a step back quietly, and still said: "Your Highness Fifth, I have no intention of hurting Mr. Wen, but I just want to ask His Highness for a favor."

Zhao Fengci's eyes were cold.

"I intend to go south to the Kingdom of Dian, far away from the East China Sea, which is a place of wrongdoing. If His Highness is willing to give us a ship and the corresponding supplies, and let me wait for a way out, the younger one will let Mr. Wen go." Liu Neng faintly felt the fifth prince's eyes As if looking at a dead person, he swallowed, and continued: "But I want to take Mr. Wen on the road together. If His Highness doesn't send troops to chase me and cut off my life, I will put down Wen on Qiujin Island, a hundred miles away. grown ups."

Wen Xuechao's heart sank.This person is really cunning, he was worried that if he let him go first, Zhao Fengci would repent halfway and get killed for no reason.

It was too far away, and he couldn't see Zhao Fengci's expression clearly.

After a long time, only Zhao Fengci said: "Okay."

"Remove the mirror sea ship, leave all the supplies and let them board the ship." Zhao Fengci ordered.

When Liu Neng heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, and the blade on Wen Xuechao's neck trembled slightly.The Mirror Sea Ship is a large sea ship with three floors of pavilions. There are plenty of supplies on board, including everything you can eat and drink.

A group of people led Wen Xuechao and slowly boarded the mirror sea ship.

Liu Neng stood on the bow of the ship with Wen Xuechao in his arms, and ordered the rest of the crew to search the ship building, and after confirming that there was no one there, they sent the ship into the water.

Mrs. Wu spent her whole life and failed to capture the battleship of the West Wing Army, but he, Liu Neng, managed to do it today.

Liu Neng raised his jaw towards the opposite main ship, "Your Highness, the younger one will take Mr. Wen a step ahead."

He glanced around briefly, but he didn't see the figure of the Fifth Prince.

The person seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the main ship.

Before Liu Neng looked back, he only heard the sound of falling to the ground coming from behind him.Before he had time to turn his head, a sword shadow pierced out from the back of his heart.Zhao Fengci's skirt was soaked in sea water, and he folded it obediently on his body.He flicked the water droplets from his hair, and pulled Wen Xuechao back from Liu Neng's hand.

Wen Xuechao couldn't move his limbs, so he could only lean on Zhao Fengci's wet shoulder.

Zhao Fengci stared at Liu Neng's unbelievable face, and said calmly, "Mirror Sea Ship is a bottomless ship. There is no bottom in the back and middle of the ship, only two sides and standing boards. Once the enemy arrives, the camouflage can be withdrawn from the inside." , to lure the enemy to fall into the sea and drown. If you do the opposite, swim from the bottom of the water to the bottom of the ship, you can naturally lift the standing board and enter."

"Mirror Sea Ship uses the sea as a mirror to reach all things. However, what you see in the mirror is not true." Wen Xuechao murmured, "What a good name."

The author has something to say: The bottomless boat is inspired by the odd-shaped warship made by Zhang Gui in the Song Dynasty. It is simply a weapon to lure the enemy to commit suicide during naval battles (?Д`)y
