Chapter 64: Water Warfare (I)

Along the Changqing River all the way south, after crossing the Beiwang Gorge, the water quickly became turbulent.

From here, we will travel all the way to the southwest, and it will not be long before we come to Lingyuan Shuize.

The Lingyuan Shuize River is longitudinal and horizontal, there are two lakes and three rivers converge here, and the downstream forms a long alluvial plain, which is the Three Rivers Plain.

Due to its unique and complex topography, Lingyuan Mizusawa has also become a gathering place for water bandits.

There are dozens of bandit teams of all sizes gathered here.

The smallest water bandits, dozens of people, one or two boats, also dared to pull up the banner to rob houses and houses, and the largest team gathered 800 people, roared and gathered in the water, and dared to fight the officials and soldiers.

The Beaver sailed through the river with the wind and waves, followed by four flat-bottomed galleons: the River Wolf, the River Lion, the River Tiger and the River Fish.

This flat-bottomed galleon has a sharp bow and tail and a high bow and tail, with a keel running through the head and tail, a deep draft, and flexible steering, which is most suitable for traveling in complex river channels. The belly of the ship is sunken, the cargo capacity is large, but there is no platform and guard deck, and there is no supporting source prohibition device, which is obviously a cargo ship mainly for transporting cargo.

Su Shen was standing at the bow of the ship at this moment, and there were Tang Ming, Wu Xiao and a few others standing beside him.

After the boat entered the water, the view was noticeably wider, and in front of it was a vast white water, with the occasional boat or two passing by.

"This is Lingyuan Shuize. Lingyuan is 800 miles of water, and thousands of ships have to pass through here every day, feeding not only millions of people on both sides of the strait, but also tens of thousands of water bandits. A considerable part of them are obviously water bandits, but they are actually dogs raised by those nobles. Su Shen said.

"Didn't the Lingyuan Navy go out to clean it up?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.

The question is that it has to be effective. Ten times of purging, eight times of inactivity, the remaining two, find some small shrimp to kill, even if it is a big victory. Su Shen sneered: "The true meaning of the existence of the Lingyuan Water Army has never been to suppress the water bandits, but to use the bandits to respect themselves. It's a good thing to deal with the water bandits, but if the water bandits are extinguished...... So for them, control and deterrence are the most important things. ”

"No wonder it's so hard for the state to do something. Zhou Juanjia sighed.

"Then if we help them extinguish the water bandits, we will offend them?" Tang Ming said.

"That's right, so the bandits can be killed, but they must not be killed one by one, but must be dealt with selectively. Of course, this is a bit big, and it is not easy to really want to destroy it all, and we can't do it if we want to do it now, so we don't have to think about it in the long run. ”

"That is, how can the water bandits be so easy to destroy, and they are all cunning. It's been a day on the water, and I haven't seen a water bandit boat bubbling. Jiang Hanfeng muttered.

As Jiang Hanfeng's words fell, he saw the clouds and mist in the distance, and several big ships suddenly appeared.

Because the mist was not far from them, the ships were so close to them as soon as they appeared, so close that they could see the fierce faces of the people above, and the cruel and bloodthirsty expressions of the people above.

They shouted on the boat, put the sails full, borrowed enough wind power, and rushed straight forward, at least twice as fast as Su Shen's side.

"It's a water bandit!"

Someone has called out.

There was no panic, but a hint of excitement and excitement.

"Roar!!

The wind brought the roar of the water bandits, and these fierce water bandits were shirtless, standing on the boat and brandishing steel knives, roaring out the most primitive and bloody calls.

In their opinion, this is another hunting feast.

Coincidentally, Su Shen's side obviously thought the same way.

Looking at the rushing fleet, everyone had no fear, only uncontrollable excitement.

"Full speed ahead!" Su Shen had already ordered.

The flotilla did not flee but advanced, and launched a counter-charge against the opponent.

Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, a bandit leader on the opposite boat who was extremely tall and wearing a blindfold looked at it and shouted: "Zuo Siliang, look at the situation on the other side, it's a little wrong, is it an ambush?"

An old man came over, with a strangely long neck, and he looked at it with his neck raised, his eyes flashing a strange red light.

"There are indeed some cultivators, but there are not many of them, only more than a ten, and most of them are in the Boiling Blood Realm. The rest are just forged warriors. ”

"No Open Yang Realm?"

"There is no Kaiyang Realm!" the old man replied in the affirmative.

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. The bandit leader grinned and said, "Some guys who don't think about themselves,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Dare to fight us with this little strength, sons, kill them!"

"Kill them!" shouted from the bandits.

The water bandits have sufficient self-confidence, this water bandit has more than 300 people, including more than 50 Qi Source Soldiers, more than 20 people in the Boiling Blood Realm, and two people in the Kaiyang Realm, and the boat used is also the kind of special warship with guards, collision angles and source forbidden guards, and it is also considered a medium bandit with not weak strength in the entire Lingyuan Shuize, no matter the number, cultivation or ship will crush the opponent, naturally it is completely fearless.

The two fleets were facing each other, and they were getting closer and closer.

The desire to kill in the hearts of the bandits has burned to the peak.

At this moment, I saw the opposite fleet, and one person jumped under the water one after another, and the surface of the water was like dumplings, and the splashes were blown up.

"What are they doing here?" the bandit leader was also stunned.

Could it be that the other party felt scared at this time and jumped ship to escape?

But if you want to escape for your life, it's faster to use a boat, right?

In the midst of the consternation, a water bandit shouted, "Fire!

I saw a wave of fire on the opposite ship, and the coiled and churning flames turned into a flaming dragon, rushing towards the bandits.

"Is that all there is to it?" the bandit leader laughed and turned around and shouted, "Xingbo!!"

"The subordinates are here!" a fat source stepped out with a sinister smile.

With both hands raised, a large wave of water rose into the air, turning into thousands of water columns that shot out.

In a world of extraordinary power, fire attack is not a lethal move, as long as there is a source warrior, there are too many solutions to solve it.

Turning over the river and the sea against the flame warship is the simplest and most effective tactic, if the bandits are ruthless, you can also choose to adjust the wind direction and directly let the fire burn the opponent. The reason why they didn't do this was because the bandits wanted to save the boats.

In the torrent of water and fire, patches of vast mist rose with it, as if a fog was spreading on the surface of the lake, and even the vision was affected.

The flames that had just risen were extinguished, leaving only a few empty boats, floating on the water like ownerless ghosts.

But the bandit leader felt that something was wrong.

Because those who jumped into the water are gone.
