A knife in love

Chapter 2944

Thinking of this, Murong Danyan finally stopped being afraid, and said with a smile: "Naturally. Jingxin Temple is the most terrifying place in the world. Although this island has a weird shape, it is not worthy of carrying shoes for Jingxin Temple. !"

Ding Guan stood beside Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, although he could hear the two of them clearly, he didn't know what they were talking about, he was quite surprised, he wondered where the tomb of Yelubei was, and meditated Where is the temple?It's just that although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, so he could only pretend that nothing happened, and kept looking at Songtian Yandao.At this time, the two boatmen had raised the sails high, and under the guidance of the Matsuda family's warship, the big ship cut through the wind and waves, and sailed straight to Matsuda Rock Island.

The big ship got closer and closer to Songtianyan Island, and saw that the island was full of huge rocks that were cut by knives and axes, rising from the sea like a wall of copper and iron.Ding Guan pointed to the huge rock on the island and said to Li Qiufeng: "Look, Mr. Li, there are such tall rocks on the east, north, and west sides of Songtian Rock Island, protecting the island in the middle. Only the south side is flat and the boats can approach it." On the shore. After the Matsuda family occupied the island, they built a pier on the south coast of the island and built a fortress on the island. The east, north and west sides of Matsuda Rock Island are dangerous, with walls that are thousands of feet high and impossible to climb. If the enemy massively besieged, We can only use troops from the south. Therefore, the Matsuda family only needs to station their soldiers and horses on the southern coast, and they can occupy the natural danger, wait for work at leisure, and defeat the enemy."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "After the Matsuda family captured this island, they worked hard to lure merchants and pirates to trade on the island, and made huge profits from it. Many big names and pirates saw the Matsuda family make money After making a fortune, they were naturally coveted, and they joined hands to attack Matsuda Rock Island several times. At that time, in terms of power, the Matsuda family was far inferior to the coalition forces of daimyo and pirates, but relying on the advantages of the terrain, they were able to attack each time. The enemy was defeated and fled. Later, the Matsuda family became more and more powerful, and colluded with many daimyos and pirates. The power is declining, and they dare not attack Songtianyan Island anymore. The Songtian family can use Songtianyan Island as a cornucopia because the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

When Ding Guan spoke, the big boat gradually slowed down.At this time, the boss of the ship has also stepped onto the deck, leading several boatmen to carefully steer the big ship forward slowly.Murong Danyan saw that the captain of the boat and the boatman were tense and kept reminding each other, their voices trembled slightly, he was puzzled, he turned to Ding Guan and said: "Mr. Ding, we are about to sail to Songtianyan Island, why did the boss of the boat and the boatman turn around?" More nervous?"

Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Ms. Mu doesn't know that there are many hidden reefs near Songtianyan Island, which are not visible on weekdays. If a ship hits it, a big hole will be knocked out of the bottom of the ship immediately. The situation is extremely dangerous. Although there are The warships on Songtianyan Island are leading the way, and Lao Zhu doesn’t dare to take it too seriously. But Miss Mu, don’t worry, Lao Zhu has sailed past here several times, and there will never be any mistakes.”

After hearing what Ding Guan said, Murong Danyan felt relieved.I saw the big ship moving forward slowly, the left side of the ship was only more than ten feet away from the stone wall on the shore of Songtianyan Island.Murong Danyan thought to himself, our big ship sailed from the northwest of Songtian Rock Island, reported to Yingzui Island on the west side of Songtian Rock Island, and then turned eastward.The island is surrounded by huge rocks on the east, north, and west sides. If our big ship wants to enter the pier in the south, it has to go around to the south first.Looking at the situation in front of me, the big ship is still sailing south and has not yet turned east.

After another incense stick, the leading warship raised a red flag on its mast.Seeing this, the captain of the boat shouted loudly, several boatmen hurriedly pulled the thick rope, and turned the sail to the right.After a while, the bow of the big ship slowly turned to the left, and the hull rattled, changing the direction of travel.Ding Guan grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, his expression slightly nervous, and he murmured: "The big ship has turned eastward, and it is only two or three miles away from the pier. But the closer to the pier, the more rocks on the bottom of the sea. Blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, let Let's enter Matsuda Rock Island safely."

Although Murong Danyan disdains Ding Guan, she knows that Ding Guan is cunning and scheming, and she is definitely not a person who bows his head easily.Seeing that he was so nervous and praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva for safety, Murong Danyan knew that this sea route must be extremely dangerous, so he lifted his heart to the throat, and involuntarily pressed the hilt of his sword with his right hand.Only the boss of the boat shouted loudly, instructing several boatmen to continuously turn the sails and rudder, and steer the big boat to move forward in zigzags.Murong Danyan saw that the faces of the boat boss and his boatmen were distorted, with sweat all over their heads, and his heart became more and more flustered, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Qiufeng who was standing beside him.Li Qiufeng grasped the ship's side with his left hand, nailed his feet firmly on the deck, and his body rose and fell as the ship moved forward, with the same expression on his face.Seeing that Li Qiufeng was so calm, Murong Danyan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that no matter what dangers he encountered, as long as Brother Li was by my side, there would be nothing to fear.

The big ship zigzagged for more than half an hour, and the leading warship finally lowered the red flag.Ding Guan heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Li, we have already crossed the sea full of hidden reefs, turned around the cape ahead, and we can see the pier of Songtianyan Island."

The big boat moved forward for about half a stick of incense, and after rounding the cape, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.A large stretch of beach appeared not far in front of the big ship, and there were no less than two or three hundred ships of all sizes on the sea.Standing on the bow and looking around, Songtianyan Island is about two or three miles wide, with huge rocks protruding on both sides and the coast in the middle is concave, like an old man squatting on the ground with his arms outstretched, his arms stretched into the sea, protecting the pier between his arms .

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng was shocked. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but turned his head and said to Ding Guan: "Just now I heard Mr. Ding say that the terrain of Songtianyan Island is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I still feel a little puzzled. When I saw the true face of this island with my own eyes, I realized that Mr. Ding’s words were true. The east, north, and west sides of this island have thousands of walls. Even if thousands of troops attack, they will never be able to climb to the top of the giant rock Therefore, no matter how many enemy soldiers and horses there are, they can only attack from the south to the north. The defenders on the island only need to set up a formation on the south coast, and then ambush archers on the huge rocks on the left and right sides to seal off the enemy's attack. Attacking road. Once the enemy warship approaches the coast, the archers will attack with rockets from the huge rocks on both sides, and immediately set fire to the red cliff for the enemy. Even if the enemy is not burned to death by luck, they will be arrayed on the shore The defenders will kill them immediately. The leader of the Matsuda family who was determined to seize this island was far-sighted, so he must be a great person."
