Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 204 The Army of Ghosts and Gods (Leader Plus 410)

On Onozawa, in the thick fog.

Under the guidance of nearly a hundred bridge boats, the Qi army's large-winged warships headed for the shore full of flames.

There is no wind tonight, so the sails on the boat can't be used, and dozens of sailors can only rely on the oars to row forward slowly.

Under Gao Zhang's urging, the sailors tried their best to reach the shore before the Qi army was completely wiped out.

Gradually, the light of the fire became clearer and clearer. Standing on the bow of the 'Cang Si' boat, Gao Zhang could even feel the heat wave blowing towards his face.

The sound of fighting and scolding, the sound of drumming and thunderous attack, everything came to Gao Zhang's ears, it seemed so real.

Lu Qiuming couldn't help saying happily: "Tianzi and the others are still resisting, the Lu army has not yet fully controlled the camp!"

But Gao Zhang obviously thought more, he raised his right arm high, and then swung it down violently.

Seeing this, the flag bearer standing behind him immediately turned around, raised his arms high, and raised the red flag in his hand, making them cross.

When the drummer on the second floor saw the semaphore, he picked up the drumstick and beat rhythmically on the edge of the big drum.

The dull drumbeat swayed on Onozawa, and soon, the two big wings next to 'Cang Si' also began to play the same rhythm.

Three ships, six ships, twelve ships, twenty-four ships...

In just a moment, the 64 large wings of the Qi army played a rhythm together.

And their speed also slowed down with the rhythm of the drums.

In addition to the sound of the drums, what was mixed was the sound of the opening of the bow with heavy wings and heavy crossbows.

The drums and strings sang together, this song is exactly the sound of the navy of Qi State approaching the enemy near the shore!
More than a hundred bridge boats passed through the reeds on the shore and slowly entered the shallow water.

The soldiers of the Qi army on the boat pulled out the short scorpions clamped around their waists, jumped off the boat, pushed aside the reed poles in front of them that blocked their sight, waded slowly, and groped their way to the place where the fire was shining in front of them in the darkness and mist.

What filled their nostrils was the burnt smell of burning wood.

What they saw in front of their eyes was the terrifying scene of the shadow of a towering flying building toppled and collapsed in the thick fog.

The soldiers of Sergeant Qi held their breaths and gathered their energy. Although the shouts of killing were loud in front of them, they seemed so quiet when the loud shouts of killing fell on their ears.

At this moment, all they could hear in their ears were the chirping of insects in the depths of the reeds, and the swallowing sounds of their companions from time to time.

Their foreheads and nostrils were covered with drops of water, but they could no longer tell whether the condensed liquid was sweat beads secreted due to nervousness, or water droplets formed by the accumulation of water vapor.

A Qi soldier was so nervous that he couldn't move. He felt his legs were as heavy as lead, as if someone was pulling him, trying to drag him into the dark and gloomy abyss of Onozawa.

He panted heavily, feeling as if he could no longer bear the fear from the unknown.

He wanted to open his mouth and say a few words, in order to get a little encouragement from his companions, in order to give birth to a little sense of security.

However, when he turned his head to look at his companion behind him, he found that his companion was standing stiffly in place, maintaining a posture of stepping forward.

His mouth was half-closed, and there was a distorted and painful smile on his face, reddish dark blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Judging from his appearance, he should have died not long ago, and if he wanted to do it before he was alive, he probably wanted to say hello to his former partner, right?

His head slowly tilted to the right, revealing the killer hiding behind him.

Maybe he can't be called a killer, because what fell into the pupils of the soldiers of Qi was just a glutton, a glutton that can eat people, it was a Lu army soldier wearing a glutton mask.

On the visor, two eyes as black as night were exposed from Taotie's huge mouth.

The Qi army soldiers saw their own appearance from those eyes.

also saw,

behind me,
Also stood a 'gluttonous'.

"Next, it's your turn."

He felt a little itchy in his ear, but there was no need to scratch it anymore.

Because this was the last sentence he heard in his life.

He suddenly felt like laughing.

who said this,

Probably a reader.

because,

He uses,

Elegant words...

Gao Zhang observed the situation ahead, watched the bridge boats enter the shallow water area one by one, and ordered all the big wings to stop and wait in place.

At first, he didn't feel anything.

But gradually, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Why did none of the bridge ships that went to explore the way return?
Is it because I have already encountered the enemy, so I can't get out?

Gao Zhang also couldn't distinguish the real situation, he hesitated through gritted teeth, and never let go of his raised arms.

Whether to save Tian Shu or not.

He was caught in a dilemma.

Just when he didn't know whether to advance or retreat, suddenly, the distant shouts of killing stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, countless torches rose one after another in the reeds not far away, illuminating the lake surface of Onozawa.

Those are countless men in armor, that is the endless might of Lu's army.

And behind them, arranged in uneven layers, were magical instruments that Gao Zhang had never seen before.

The leading soldier took off his mask, revealing his true face buried behind the brutal gluttony.

Not handsome enough, but very handsome.

It was supposed to be flirtatious and evil, but it was as gentle as jade.

It's a pity that at such a distance, even if he took off his mask, Gao Zhang still couldn't see his true face clearly.

But he could hear that masculine voice that seemed familiar and full of vigor.

"It's been half a year since we left Linzi. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Gao Zhang narrowed his eyes.

Lu Zhimingzhe, kill me?

He was about to say something, but before he could speak, another voice from Jae Yu fell into his ears.

"Gaozi, goodbye!"

In Gao Zhang's sight, the soldiers of the Lu army lowered their torches and lit the clay pots in the stone bags.

As soon as the flame fell, the fire of benevolence and righteousness suddenly rose.

Seeing this, Gao Zhang hurriedly shouted an order: "The whole army obeys the order and retreats immediately!"

But at this time, it was already too late.

The long arm of the catapult swung violently, the fire of benevolence and righteousness was like a meteor chasing the sun, shining in the night sky, and more than thirty rounds of fire bullets fell on all parts of the big wing like heaven and earth.

Bang bang broken sounds sounded one after another.

In the first wave of projectiles, seven or eight Dayi ships were hit by bullets, and the whole ship caught fire in many places, and the fire began to burn blazingly on the deck of Dayi.

There was a sudden chaos on the deck. Except for the sailors, most people had to put aside their work and fetch buckets to put out the fire.

However, when a bucket of water was poured on it, not only did the flame not extinguish, but it floated on the water and flowed on the deck.

"W-what's the matter?"

Before they figured out what happened, the second wave of fire bombs came again.

The accuracy of this wave was obviously not as good as the first wave, but it was extremely targeted. The targets they threw were the large wings at the rear.

It's just that maybe the range is limited, or maybe the thick fog also affected their sight, this time only three big wings were shot.

But Gao Zhang didn't feel lucky, because he understood the reason of Jae Yu's actions.

First attacking the front row, and then attacking the last row, this kid is going to make Qi army's large-winged fleet unable to advance or retreat, completely lock them in this bay, and then catch them all!
Faced with such a situation, Gao Zhang only hated himself for not making the decision to retreat earlier, and also hated himself for misestimating the maximum range of the Lu army.

Now, the distance between Dayi and Zaiyu, which is closest to the shore, is more than two hundred steps.

At this distance, Qi's bows and crossbows have no weapons other than strong crossbows that can reach the shore, and even if they use strong crossbows, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

If you blindly retreat, you will only be completely blocked by Zai Yu.

At the time of Gao Zhang's decision, the third wave of attacks came in an instant.

Seeing that several more large wings had been hit by bullets, he had no choice but to give up.

Instead of being blocked here, it's better to fight hard!
Gao Zhang ordered in a loud voice: "All the ships on fire in the front row move towards the shore at full speed. After a hundred steps, all the heavy crossbows on the ship will aim at the equipment and shoot! The ships in the back row continue to evacuate!"

However, as soon as Gao Zhang finished speaking, the hull of 'Cang Si' suddenly shook violently, Gao Zhang lost his footing, and almost jumped over the fence and fell into the lake of Onozawa.

He exclaimed angrily, "What's going on?!"

A sailor stretched out his head and glanced at the side of the ship, and reported in panic: "Gaozi, the cabin seems to be flooded, and our ship is sinking!"

"Water?"

Gao Zhang hurriedly lay on the side of the fence and watched the pitch-black lake. He saw more than a dozen heads popping out of the lake. They were holding all kinds of carpentry tools, including hammers, chisels, and drills.

"When did they..."

Gao Zhang thought about it a little, and immediately realized what an unforgivable mistake he had made.

"It was when I stopped the boat and waited for the bridge boat ahead to explore the way back... I was careless..."

Only then did Gao Zhang realize that he seemed to have fallen into Jae Yu's trap from the very beginning.

His every move is being calculated by the opponent, and there is even no possibility of escaping.

If one must find a way to escape, it must be determined not to rescue Tian Shu from the very beginning.

At this moment, several large wings were hit by fire bombs from the sky, and the belly of the cabin was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

The hot flames were reflected on Gao Zhang's face, making his face red and white.

Lu Qiuming looked at the flames rising cabin, then at the capsized stern, and asked Gao Zhang amidst the noise, "Gao Zi, what should we do now?"

Gao Zhang said angrily: "What else can I do? Abandon the ship!"

After saying that, Gao Zhang grabbed the flag in the hand of the flag officer, gave the order to the nearby ships to evacuate, and then led the guards around him into the lake.

Seeing this, Lu Qiuming gritted his teeth and shouted at the soldiers on Cangsi: "Second and third sons, follow me to protect Gaozi!"

Then, he plunged into the lake without hesitation.

With two generals taking the lead, the soldiers on Cangsi also abandoned their boats and threw themselves into the lake one after another, while on the rest of the big wings that were paralyzed by the fire and flooding of the cabin, the soldiers of the Qi army also abandoned their boats and dived into the lake one after another.

The Great Wing Navy, which Qi was proud of, overturned and sank one by one like falling stars. The flames filled the entire Onozawa, and with the benevolence and righteousness fireballs shining in the sky, it seemed like a fireworks show that attracted worldwide attention.

Looking at the spectacle of "making dumplings" in the big autumn in front of him, and seeing the destruction of this faction of fleets in Vientiane, the smile on his face became even brighter.

It's just that he is not greedy for the credit here, because there are other things waiting for him to do tonight.

Zai Yu cupped his hands at the vanguard coach Tomai beside him.

"Tomako, I will trouble you here. When Jizi and Yoko see the fire on Onozawa, they should immediately send people to help."

Tomai has not yet recovered from the shocking scene of a sea of ​​flames in front of him.

He even doubted his own eyes.

It’s fine if the cupping cans thrown by the catapult fall on the boat and cause a fire, why even the part that fell into the lake caught fire?
What kind of a miracle is fire in the water?

Tuqiu Zaizi, who is he?

The shock of Tomai couldn't be further increased, and he didn't come back to himself until Zaiyu called him for the second time.

Tomato hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Zaizi, I'm here to support you, and you can do what you want. Besides, you have already dealt with the most difficult part. If I can't even deal with a few deserters, then I will take care of you." You are also acting as the Sima of the Ji clan!"

Hearing this, Zai Yu finally felt relieved. He put on his helmet again, smiled and bowed his hands in return.

"Okay! Then I will trouble you."

Tom Yi glanced at the ferocious lines on Zai Yu's face armor, and felt his heart tremble.

"How dare you dare."

He watched as Zaiyu led the Tuqiu armored warriors away from here until they disappeared into the depths of the reeds.

Tomai thought about what Zaiyu had done, and then thought about the strange fire on the water in front of him, and the Tuqiu armored warrior, as cold as winter and as swift as the wind.

This made him shiver uncontrollably.

"Tuqiu armored soldiers can count as ten, how can it be done by ordinary people?
Doctor Tuqiu, how can it be done by manpower to make fire on water, to make clouds and to blow up fog?
If it weren't for the army of ghosts and gods led by ghosts and gods, would they be able to understand the changes of the world and realize the benefits of ingenuity? "

　Seeing your monthly pass is more important than my heartbeat.
