Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 212 Ambush
Gao Cheng leaned on the side of the boat and looked forward. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sun Yue and the old man beside him. Last time, the Patriarch of the Sun Clan in Huai'an promised that when he sent troops to wipe out the water thieves, he would also send elites to assist him. Sure enough, Did not break my promise.

Just relying on this old man who has trained at the ninth level of strength, he is worth hundreds of elite soldiers.

The water is turbulent and the islands are criss-crossing. There are various shrubs and grasses growing on these small islands in Baima Lake. Some islands are extremely steep and uninhabitable, while some small islands are flat and can be cultivated for fishing and planting.

The two small islands that the twenty warships passed by were both densely wooded and inaccessible.Seeing that he was approaching the place, Lu Dai ordered the warship to slow down and drive slowly, so as not to disturb the other party when encountering water thieves.

Gao Cheng looked forward, and saw that the water channel in front suddenly became a little narrow, and two large islands appeared on both sides.

On the island, there seem to be many wooden houses, and some people dressed as fishermen.There are rocks on both sides of the island blocking the view.If you look at it from other directions, you can't find the wooden house people on the island at all.

"Young master, we have found the water thief's lair in Baima Lake! It's a very hidden place." Gao Tai showed joy on his face. As long as he found the water thief's lair, their well-trained water army would be able to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, and the son would be able to get Appointed by the imperial court, he became a county lieutenant and took the first step to become an official.

Gao Cheng's eyes have become very scary now. If the vision is not blocked, he can see the movement several miles away. When everyone sees the water thief's lair in front of him, he immediately finds that there seems to be movement on both sides of the waterway.

"Order, stop the ship!" He immediately issued an order.

At this time, Lu Dai frowned when he saw the surrounding waterway terrain. The White Horse Lake pirates' lair was very hidden and suitable for defense. If two ambush soldiers rushed out from both sides suddenly, his side would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Hearing Gao Cheng's order, he immediately waved the command flag. The twenty small boats were moving slowly, but now they stopped on the water when they saw the order.

"Brother Ziming, is there something wrong around here?" Sun Yue reacted very quickly, seeing the boat stop, he immediately felt a chill in his heart, and asked Gao Cheng in a low voice.

Gao Cheng nodded slowly, and said, "This group of water thieves is not only powerful, but they also seem to know a little bit about warfare. We have been ambushed by them now!"

"what?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that the water thieves had expected us to make a surprise attack?"

Sun Yue and Gao Tai were taken aback immediately. Among them, Sun Yue showed a trace of panic on his face, but he had been educated by the family all the year round, so he could barely maintain his mentality when he heard such bad news.

Gao Cheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Mu and sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that there are talents among the water thieves, they are so smart!"

"After knowing the situation of my huge reward, I sent spies directly, deliberately revealed the location of my lair, and then prepared an ambush in advance. If we are not prepared, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses this time!"

As soon as he said this, the expression of Zhang Mu who was leading the way suddenly changed, and he subconsciously jumped into the water, but when Lu Dai ordered the boat to stop just now, he was already on guard against him.

boom!Lu Dai stretched out his right hand and grabbed Zhang Mu's collar directly, and slammed him onto the deck behind him, breaking several ribs of the opponent immediately, and blood oozed out of his mouth.

"Zhang Mu is actually the spy of the water thief!" Gao Tai and Sun Yue realized this, shocked and angry.

This group of water thieves actually treated them like monkeys, knowing that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and the location of their lair will be discovered by the officers and soldiers sooner or later, so they simply turned passive into active.He resorted to countermeasures and sent water thieves to act as guides to lead everyone to the ambush circle.

If the water thief's plan succeeds, the water army that Gao Cheng has painstakingly trained will inevitably suffer huge losses.At that time, there will be no officers and soldiers strangling them, and these water thieves can continue to roam free for a while.

Lu Dai directly grabbed Zhang Mu, dragged him to Gao Cheng, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since we found an ambush ahead, why don't we retreat for now, and wait until we are ready to kill the water thieves!"

Sun Yue also quickly persuaded: "That's right, big brother Ziming, anyway, we've found the water thief's lair, and it won't be too late to come back when we're fully prepared!"

Hearing the two talking, Zhang Mu knew that he would inevitably die if he was exposed, so he stopped trying to hide it, with a sneer of disdain on his face.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "No need, since we already know that the other side has an ambush, all the soldiers need to be prepared! With me and Mr. Sun joining forces, as long as the leader of the water thief does not break through the extraordinary, he will definitely lose! Besides, the previous The two small islands may not necessarily be the lairs of water thieves!"

Gao Tai, Lu Dai, and Sun Yue came to their senses immediately, their eyes lit up, and they thought of Gao Cheng's record of beheading a nine-level warrior with a single sword two months ago.The warriors of the ninth level of strength training, charge into the battle, jump and smash through the army, no one can stop them. Now that we have two masters of the ninth level of strength training, are we afraid of a gang of water thieves ambush?

Moreover, water thieves may not tell the truth about their lair.The wooden houses and figures on the two islands in front of them may be decoys deliberately made to make everyone take it lightly.

Lu Dai immediately agreed and said, "My lord's words are very true. Since the main force of the water thieves is here, we will go directly to meet them. Kill the leader of the water thieves, and the others will surely disperse."

Gao Cheng nodded, and suddenly took a step forward, thoughts flooded out, and everyone suddenly noticed that Zhang Mu's eyes became blurred. With a single vision, one move of mental power can pull the target into the illusion.

It's just that as his spiritual power became stronger, the soul-shifting method became more lethal. After using it on ordinary people, the opponent's spirit and will could not withstand the impact of strong spiritual power at all, and there was an eighty to ninety percent chance of becoming into dementia.

If Zhang Mu was an ordinary person, Gao Cheng would not use this method!

"Zhang Mu, who is the leader of the pirates? How many boats and people are there?"

Next to him, Sun Yue and the old man surnamed Sun looked at each other quietly, a little shocked. Gao Cheng actually possessed such a strong spiritual power while possessing the strength of the ninth level of training!

Sun Yue's ancestral soul-refining technique can be cultivated to the fourth level of soul-cultivation. He has already started to practice at this time, awakened hearing, touch and vision, and his mental power is very keen. He can sense the spiritual power released by Gao Cheng just now. Majestic and mighty, like the ocean.

Compared with Gao Cheng's spiritual power, it is like a small stream and a big river, there is a gap between heaven and earth.

"Gao Cheng's martial strength is outstanding, and his spiritual cultivation is also so powerful. Under his leadership, the Guangling Gao Clan is likely to soar into the sky in the future. There is a great possibility of becoming a famous family in Xuzhou!"

Sun Yue secretly thought in his heart that if the Sun family can make friends with Gao Cheng, they will be able to ride the boat when the Gao family rises, and they will definitely get great benefits.
