Pre-war negotiations broke up unhappily, and the battle soon began.

The situation of the war can only be described as tragic.

One by one, the corpses sank to the bottom of the lake, and the blood quickly stained the surface of the lake.

Ships were scuttled by water thieves, and once the soldiers fell into the water, they would soon be dragged to the bottom by the water thieves, but they would definitely be buried with the enemy before they died.

Even if you bite with your teeth, you have to tear a piece of flesh off the water thief.

The water thieves had never seen such a ferocious battle, and many of them were terrified and frightened.

The soldiers were fearless, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

How could the enemy be outnumbered, and the water thieves played cunning again, no longer attacking head-on, but turned to underwater warfare, scuttling warships one by one.

"Dog officer, quickly put down your weapons and surrender, and then hand over the plundered wealth, and after making the masters happy, let you wait for a way out!" A bearded man stood on the mast of the warship with a long knife in his hand, and shouted at Zhao Quan from the air.

Zhao Quan sneered and said, "Ignorant water thief, open your dog's eyes and see clearly, so far in the battle, can my Yancheng Erlang have a cowardly seed?"

Lao Tzu tells you that the battle of the soldiers of Yancheng is only victory and death, and today they are either destroyed by you, or we destroy you. ”

When the bearded man heard Zhao Quan's words, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his face was a little ugly.

As Zhao Quan said, so far in the battle, he really didn't see a single soldier cowardly, which was very different from the group of Tuozhou officers and soldiers he knew who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

This is completely different from what the lord from Tuozhou said.

What looks at the lake and is helpless, what is thin and sick and has no combat effectiveness, what will obediently flee back to the south with his tail between his legs after two battles, what-

Dog's day, it's all a lie.

This is clearly an elite combat unit with rich combat experience, amazing combat effectiveness, and unending fighting.

Feelings tell bearded men that they are most likely messing with the wrong people.

It is not cost-effective to provoke such an enemy for a little food.

But they were helpless, if it weren't for the coercion and temptation of the Lord in Tuozhou, they wouldn't have dared to join forces to rob an official grain team with 10,000 cavalry guards, and they alone would not have the ability to rob such a grain team.

In the end, the big head was taken away, leaving only a fraction for them to divide the eighteen families, and now they have to bear all the anger of the other party, and the indescribable grievances in their hearts.

Seeing that Zhao Quan was unwilling to disarm and surrender, and he didn't even have the intention of retreating, it seemed that he was really going to die here today, and the bearded man suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Could it be true that these tens of thousands of Yancheng soldiers were to be wiped out on Wangyuan Lake?

While the bearded man was hesitating, a small boat leaned against the big boat, and a man dressed as a water thief climbed up.

If a careful person sees this person, he can know at a glance that he is definitely not a water thief, because this person has white skin and fine flesh, and although he is wearing the clothes of a water thief, he does not look like a water thief at all.

The man went straight under the mast and coughed loudly.

When the bearded man saw him, he immediately jumped down from the mast and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what instructions the lord has?"

"Your Excellency told you to do your best, leaving no room for survival. After the battle, Speed packed his bags and went home to farm, hiding for two or three years and coming back after the rumors passed. ”

"Yes!"

The man turned around and walked away without further anonst.

The bearded man shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that there was now a situation where there was no turning back, so he gave the order to attack with all his might.

At the same time, the other big bosses of the Seven Paths Navy also received the same order, and they all made the same decision as the bearded man.

Because of the destruction of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in front of them, if they hide, they can still have a chance to live. But if you don't obey the orders of the lord, I'm afraid there is only one way to die.

After a cup of tea, the attack of the water thieves suddenly became fierce.

"My lord, withdraw it. ”

"It's too late to retreat now, wait a little longer, I'm afraid there won't even be a chance to retreat. The adjutant whispered in Zhao Quan's ear.

Zhao Quan's eyes were split, he sighed, and said, "It's me who underestimated the water war." Dog's day, if this was on land, Lao Tzu would have destroyed them a long time ago. Order, retreat!"

Although helpless and unwilling, but helpless, you can't let the soldiers fight to the death knowing that they are invincible.

"Dog officer, you can't leave today!"

"Sink Uncle Ben into the lake and feed the fish!"

"on! on!"

The water thieves were crazy, or directly controlled the big ship to crash into the official ship, or threw the iron rope hook and sickle to hook it, and at the same time, a large number of water thieves jumped into the water with chisels, dived into the bottom of the boat and desperately chiseled the boat.

The madness of the water thieves made Zhao Quan and his generals pale.

In the first three days, they were caught off guard by the water thieves, and the successive victories made them feel that the water war was nothing more than that, but the battle in front of them made them see the danger of the water war, which was completely different from the land war.

One after another thief ships collided, one by one the iron ropes hooked up, and one after another the warships were chiseled through and slowly sank-

Water thieves are like sideburns, biting and biting.

"Haha-"

Zhao Quan scanned the battlefield with a pair of red eyes, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and roared: "Sons, the thieves won't let us retreat, so let's kill it!"

"Anyway, I won't be able to see the people of Yannan when I go back, so it's better to throw this useless stinky skin bag in the lake to feed the fish!"

"Kill!"

The intensity of the battle escalated again, and both sides were red-eyed.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the water thieves suffered even more casualties.

But there are many water thieves.

"Dog officer, it's just a little food, if you lose it, you lose it, why is this?!"

"Are you happy to be killed like this?"

"Huh?!"

A water thief leader watched the power he had painstakingly managed for decades be ruined like this, and he had to leave Wangyuan Lake to hide in the next few years, he almost exploded his liver and lungs, and roared angrily at Zhao Quan.

"Haha, it's just a little bit of food!"

"Dog thief, do you know that just because you robbed this grain, Yannan will starve to death millions, if not more, of the poor people. ”

"Are you robbing grain? You are robbing the lives of the people of Yannan!"

"Wait, it won't be long before the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yancheng will be killed. Lao Tzu promises you that each and every one of you will pay the worst price for your stupidity!"

"Sons, kill! Let this group of young mice see the iron-blooded demeanor of our Yancheng boys, and kill their dog guts!"

Zhao Quan roared while killing frantically.

"Cut!"

"Alarmist!"

"Even if the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yancheng really kill, they will have to go back with their tails between their legs. ”

The leader of the water thieves sneered disdainfully, not believing Zhao Quan's words at all.

They had never been to the south, and they had no idea what kind of disasters the south had experienced, and naturally they did not know how important food was to the people of the south.

"It seems that we are going to die on this Wangyuan Lake today, can we make a fool before we die, who robbed us of our food?" asked the major, who suspected that the food grabbers were someone else.

"Dead are dead, why do you know so much?" shouted the leader of the water thieves.

"Heh, it seems that there really is someone else!" the major sneered, although the leader of the water thieves did not answer his question, it was also tantamount to telling him in disguise that there was indeed someone behind the water thieves instructing the water thieves to grab food.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "If you don't say it, I can guess that it must be you who are instructed by Guang Jingshuo, the envoy of Tuozhou Jiedu." ”

"Y-how do you know?!" asked an unscrupulous leader of the water thieves, whose face changed dramatically.

The Major was stunned when he heard this.

He just casually reported the name of a big official, wanting to see the reaction of the leader of the water thieves, if the leader of the water thieves did not react, he continued to say Tuozhou Futai, if there was still no response, he would talk about other officials, but he didn't expect to find the main master behind the scenes by mistake.

"Dog's Day!"

"This thief must be a big-toothed spy!"

Zhao Quan scolded, he couldn't believe that Guang Jingshuo would do this for money, so his first reaction was that Guang Jingshuo was a spy disguised by Big Tooth and wanted to harm the people in the south.

On the shore of Wangyuan Lake, in a remote position, Guang Jingshuo sat in a sedan chair, the curtain of the car was opened, and he looked at the tragic battle on the lake in the distance through the gap.

His face was extremely ugly, because the situation was completely beyond his expectations.

He felt that everything was done seamlessly, and Zhao Quan only found that the grain had been dropped when he arrived in Yancheng to untie the sack, and he never thought that Zhao Quan would find out so quickly.

He thought that Zhao Quan only had 10,000 cavalry, and the coachmen who had never wanted to drive the car were all elite soldiers.

He thought that Zhao Quan would sigh with admiration, but he never thought that Zhao Quan's murderous spirit would be so heavy, and he would go to the lake to suppress the water thieves if he didn't agree with him.

He thought that Zhao Quan and his 40,000 soldiers would be beaten by the water thieves and lose their armor, and finally flee back to Yancheng in disgrace.

He thought—

He thought it was too much, but everything didn't go the way he thought it would.

It's just that he doesn't know what this grain means to the current south.

Everyone knows that there has been a year of drought in the south, but no one knows what the drought has done in the south.

Therefore, they will not understand how precious food is, and they will not understand what it means to have a bite of food and a life.

Guang Jingshuo didn't know or understand, he only knew that Zhao Quan and his 40,000 soldiers had to confess to Wangyuan Lake, and then put all the blame on the water thieves, otherwise it would be him Guang Jingshuo who died.

So he gave an order to the leaders of the water thieves and ordered them to destroy Zhao Quan.

Looking at the encirclement of the water thieves on the lake shrinking smaller and smaller, Guang Jingshuo proudly hooked the corners of his mouth, and at the same time, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he had already arranged the manpower, and when Zhao Quan was destroyed, it would be the death of the leaders of the water thieves.

Get rid of the leader of the water thieves, and no one will know that this matter has anything to do with him.

He can rest easy.

......

"General—"

Zhao Quan's adjutant was shot through the chest by a water thief, and he shouted angrily at Zhao Quan with a blood-stained mouth: "The last general has taken the first step!"

After speaking, he slashed over the two water thieves who rushed in front of him, looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and fell on the deck on his back.

"You go first, Lao Tzu will kill for a while!" Zhao Quan bared his teeth and smiled.

If you are already mortal, you will no longer have the fear of death.

Zhao Quan is like this, and so are the soldiers.

No one was afraid to fight.

The leaders of the water thieves all saw their hairs stand on end, and they saw it clearly, these officers and soldiers had no fear of death on their faces at all, they were hacked to death with knives, and they all had a pride on their faces, which was the disdain for them water thieves from the bottom of their bones.

They felt that compared with these officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers of Tuozhou were simply scum.

"Lao Tzu sent you on your way!"

"Let you die a decent death!"

A water thief leader couldn't help but make a move, treading water with a sword in his hand, and pounced on Zhao Quan's location.

"You don't deserve it!" Zhao Quan snorted disdainfully, slashed the water thief in front of him with a long knife, jumped off the warship and met him.

The two fought on the water for more than 100 rounds, and Zhao Quan had a slight advantage and cut off the head of the leader of the water thieves with one sword.

Burst!

A sharp arrow without a sound pierced Zhao Quan's chest, just an inch away from his heart.

The archery was shot by another water thief leader.

With a sneer on his lips, he opened his bow again.

Zhao Quan coughed up blood in his mouth, and wanted to pounce and kill this guy, but the strength in his body suddenly ran out, and he was exhausted, his body staggered forward, and he fell on the surface of the lake with a snap and sank.

"Is this the end of it?"

"It's over!"

Zhao Quan asked and answered himself, and closed his eyes unwillingly.

However, just as he was desperate, a force suddenly surged out of thin air from under his body, supporting his body and pushing him out of the water.

Click-

A strange sound sounded in Zhao Quan's ears, a bit like the sound of porcelain exploding, but it wasn't when you listened closely. Immediately afterward, a biting chill suddenly surged up from under him, and his hands touched the hard coldness.

"Ice?"

A word popped up in Zhao Quan's mind, and he suddenly opened his heavy eyelids and climbed up with his arms propped up.

When he looked around, he saw that the surface of the lake stained red by blood was freezing at a rapid speed, and the soldiers who were still breathing in the lake were all lifted out of the water, just like him, and the water thieves in the water were sealed under the ice.
