Chapter 52: The Battle of Seahorse Island
In the hazy night, the shadow of Seahorse Island is faintly visible, indicating that Seahorse Island is close at hand.
Takatsuna pursed his lips and let out a low whistle, signaling everyone to slow down, slow down the stroke, adjust the course, and slowly circle to the northeast corner of the island. Because of the topography of Seahorse Island, except for a sandy beach in the northeast where a large group of people can land, the rest of the direction is full of rocks or cliffs.
Seahorse Hall had built a dock in the depths of the west water of the island directly opposite where they had come from, but they had to avoid it. In addition to being unfamiliar with the waterway and easy to run into the reef, it is also easy to make Seahorse Hall premature alert and lose the meaning of sneak attack.
Gao Yuanfeng and a group of Windless Pavilion killers quietly capsized and went into the water, swimming straight to the dock. After waiting for Gao Gang's troops to attack the island from the northeast and cause a riot, this side quietly sneaked in, took advantage of the chaos to kill the opponent's backbone, and smashed the center.
The accident occurred before they landed on the island, because there were visitors they did not expect, and the visitors and a few guards accompanied by Ma Shuisheng, the master of the Seahorse Hall, ascended the mountain at night. The distinguished guest is a handsome noble man dressed in splendid clothes and carrying a delicate spirit sword at his waist. The purpose of climbing the mountain is not to enjoy the useless night view of the island, but to look to the southeast. And over there were their companions who did not return until the night.
Sea level. Guan Zhong is anxious and has great strength, so he has always been at the forefront of the fleet. By the time Takatsuna ordered the fleet to turn, he was well ahead. Guan Zhong didn't want to turn back, so he chose to turn on the spot, so the circle around was closer to the island. While paddling, he muttered, "Obviously, you can go sideways and run over directly, but you want to do something sneak attack, and you are afraid to wince, and you are not happy." ”
All the people on the ship were his subordinates, although they knew that the young master's move was to reduce his own casualty rate in order to achieve the greatest victory with the least loss, but no one dared to argue with Guan Zhong and let him chatter.
Guan Zhong rowed, the force in his hand slowly lost control, and the speed of the boat gradually increased. "Bang. "The fishing boat hit a reef hard.
The people on board exclaimed, "Oops!" and "Ah!" and capsized with the ship into the sea.
Although it was a quiet night, the sound of waves crashing against the reef was incessant, and the people on the island would not have been able to spot the boats in the water without the incident. Speaking of Seahorse Hall, only they landed and robbed, and there was never an incident of attacking the island, so no sentry was arranged. But all the accidents combined, it is impossible not to have an accident.
The sound of the collision between the ship and the reef and the exclamation of the people are too different from the sound of the water, and the noble son of the brocade cloth who has ascended to the top has reached the superhuman realm, so even if the exclamation of Guan Zhong and the others is already very low on the island outside Lixu, he is still surprised.
When the noble prince heard the sound, he looked carefully here, and when he boarded, he found the shadow of the ship. He asked the master of the hall beside him, "Shui Sheng, where are so many boats over there? Are any of you returning at night?"
"Where, where is the ship? I didn't send anyone to the sea? I'm afraid it's Lord Feng and they're back." The hall master beside him replied. His skills are far inferior to those of the noble son, and he will not find out where the shadow of the ship is for a while.
The noble prince pointed with his hand, "There." Lord Feng, they only have one ship, but there are dozens of them there. Moreover, the boats seemed to come from the west and were heading north, not heading to the docks. ”
Under the instructions of the noble prince, the master of the horse hall finally saw the vague shadow of the ship, observed it attentively for a moment, suddenly woke up, and shouted, "Enemy attack!" The other party is from the mainland, and he came by night, the scale is not small, and he approaches without notification, and the direction is the beach that is easy to land, it can only be an enemy attack, and there will be no other possibility.
Soon, the gong alarm bell sounded, and torches were lit everywhere on the dark island. There was a lot of noise and noise, and a large group of people flocked to the northeast beach.
Gao Gang was so angry that he stomped his foot and almost trampled the fishing boat overturned. ordered someone to rescue Guan Zhong and the others who fell into the water, and glared at Guan Zhong hatefully, "I'll settle accounts with you afterwards." Then he drew his long knife and waved his arm, "Speed up, attack!"
It was impossible to retreat at this point, for the high winds had already dived to the island. As soon as the fleet retreats, Gao Yuanfeng is alone, and if there is no ship to retreat, it will inevitably fall into danger. Anyway, according to the comparison of strength, although the number of their own side is small, the average skill is more than a large section, and they are also victorious and undefeated. So a sneak attack unexpectedly turned into an encounter.
At the beach, the Seahorse Hall is waiting for the bandits. Seeing Gao Gang's fleet appear in sight, without waiting for the order of his superiors, he opened his bow and shot arrows. Whizzing, the shaft of the arrow rained down, splashing into the sea.
Although it is not the best range, although the light is dim at night, the accuracy of archery is not much, but the victory lies in the large number, a wave of arrow rain down, Gao Jiajun has many people hit the arrow.
Although the night made Seahorse Hall's attack inaccurate, it also made it difficult for the Gao family army to guard against. I can't see the way the arrow is coming from at all, and when I see the arrow clearly, it is already close at hand, and it is about to be approached, and there is no way to avoid it.
The master of the horse hall, who had just arrived at the beach from the top of the mountain, was annoyed, he hoped to use his own momentum to deter the other party, and then shout the cut in the rivers and lakes, even if he paid a little money, he could not fight. He knew very well what the virtues of these congregations he had collected, and he was like a wolf and a tiger to plunder unarmed fishermen, fishmongers or caravanserais, and if he really met a hard hand, he might be defeated in a battle.
But at this moment, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and there were screams from time to time on the ship. Deaths and injuries have already occurred, and it is impossible to rest on their laurels. However, thinking that the backer behind him is on the island, he is not completely unconfident. Let's fight, let's fight, fight hard, just let the backers see their own value. Thinking of this, the master of the horse hall raised his arms and shouted, "Shoot, shoot me hard, shoot them all into the sea to feed the fish." ”
Gao Tsuna's side also shouted: "All speed up and rush to the beach." Kill!" At the same time, he took out his own 'Rainbow', opened his bow and arrows, and opened the bow with luck. A round of 'shining sun' flashed in the dark night sea, which was shocking and dazzling. Whoosh, the arrows flew and the rainbow appeared, and the red rainbow danced in the air. The arrow falls and the enemy's soul disappears, and the brilliance wears everywhere. An arrow flies, and nothing wears through. Puff puff, after piercing a few people in a row, the rest of the momentum strung together a few people behind this straight line.
The unlucky Seahorse Hall Master was caught off guard and took the brunt of it, and a large hole was pierced in his chest. Who made him raise his arms and shout, self-reliance as the target.
The noble prince who stayed on the top of the mountain to watch the battle leisurely was taken aback, "Gao Gang!
In the eyes of this noble son, Gao Gang is not much of a celebrity, but because of Lu Qiu Xing's search for the East Prison incident, there must be one of the information obtained by people with intentions in Haiyang, who is Gao Gang, a martial artist in the Chengdan period, who joined the Great Zhou and retreated from the Chen army in Gaojiabao with one arrow.
"Since Gao Gang has already served for Zhou, how could he come to attack the Seahorse Hall, which is also under the jurisdiction of Bohai County? Could it be that Zhou Feiyan realized that the Seahorse Hall was actually a chess piece that I placed at will? Impossible. Very few people know about this matter, and all those who know will never abandon me and go to Zhou. "Your son is guessing and self-denying.
"Not good!" "The noble prince suddenly remembered something and was shocked, "The master of the horse hall is only in the fetal period, and he is not Gao Gang's opponent. He quickly shouted, "I'm going to save people." Go back to your lodgings and take care of your belongings, lest anyone take them in the chaos. With that, he galloped down the mountain.
There aren't many valuables in their bags, but there are some things that can reveal their identity. This is not his sphere of influence, and if it is known that he has planted a chess piece here, it will be easy to advance the conflict that should not have occurred at this time.
The noble prince was in a hurry, and he was faster than the galloping horse, and the night was no obstacle for him. It's hard to place a chess piece in this unexpected place, and it seems that it will be of great use in the near future, but don't let Gao Gang ruin it. He didn't know that it was too late, the master of the horse hall who was strong enough to serve as the head of the fourth-order forces, was ordered to live on a desolate island for many years, but he died before he could get out of the school, and he returned to the yin before he could make an indecision.
"Kill!" Gao Gang's arrow greatly hit the confidence of the bandits in the Seahorse Hall and boosted their morale. Gao Jiajun roared and paddled hard, speeding towards the beach. Guan Zhong and Zhao Dongshan were the first to jump off the boat, wade into the water and rush to the shore, wielding spiritual soldiers and killing the bandits.
As more and more Gao soldiers rushed to the shore, the bows and arrows of the bandits had lost their effectiveness. The hand-to-hand fighting began, the enemy and the enemy were mixed, and the beach became a mess. The shouts of killing, the screams, were deafening. The sparks of the weapon impact, like a large area of phosphorescent light, suddenly flickered and disappeared. Martial artists above the Qi Sea Period, through the true qi released by the spiritual weapon, such as fireworks, like lightning, pierced the night sky.
Gao Gang held a long-handled machete used by a horseman, which was particularly dazzling, and when he danced, the red light turned into a circle, sweeping a large area.
The Seahorse Hall bandits held out for less than a moment before collapsing, and this was because it was dark. The bandits around the master of the hall saw the death of the master of the hall and fled. The others, due to the noise, distance, and light of the shouting and killing, would not know that the leader had died for a while, and still fought and killed for a while. When he saw Guan Zhong, Zhao Dongshan, Gao Gang and other opponents' good hands rushing into their own positions like chopping melons and vegetables, no one here could compete, so they had to flee.
"Kill!" Gao Jiajun's momentum was like a rainbow, chasing after him. Gao Gang took the lead, chasing the dense bandits, slashing and killing with his hands, and striving to kill as much as possible, so as to completely defeat the Seahorse Hall in one fell swoop.
When the chop was in full swing, a shocking change protruded. An earthy yellow electric light flashed out of nowhere, and it met Takazuna's machete head-on. The red and yellow colors of light collide like bursting fireworks. "Bang", the muffled sound of impact surpassing all the noise at the scene, like thunder in the ears, startled everyone to stumble.
The red light was annihilated, and the long knife was thrown far away. Gao Gang was like a broken sack that had been thrown out by someone, blood spurting wildly, and he fell heavily into the people behind him.
It was the noble son who drove down from the top of the mountain who shot Gao Gang away. The reason why I found Gao Gang was similar to the previous Ma Tang Master's self-reliance, and the red true qi released by Gao Gang was too eye-catching. Capture the thief and capture the king, and don't beat him or anyone.
The noble prince was about to step forward to mend the sword, but because of the inertia of the crowd running, a bunch of people were crowded over. Gao Gang was originally staring at the enemy's dense area to chase and kill, and most of the people behind him followed his footsteps, so the number of people in this area was the most concentrated.
It is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and the noble prince does not want to kill his own people by mistake, so he has to fly up, jump into the air, and roar, "Where is the master of the hall, where is the master of the hall?"
The master of the horse hall who had gone to hell naturally couldn't respond, and the two sides of the fight didn't care about answering, and the situation was still the same. Guan Zhong and Zhao Dongshan, who were not far away, saw Gao Gang's defeat, judging from the blooming brilliance, they knew that they were not the enemy's opponents, but they also had to rush desperately towards this side, they didn't dare to let Gao Gang die in the chaos.
The scene is extremely chaotic, and the overall situation does not change due to Gao Gang's personal setbacks. The bandits and thieves in the Seahorse Hall were frightened, and it was difficult to find the opportunity to turn defeat into victory from the blooming brilliance, only to know that they were all masters who were powerless to compete with anyway, so they fled.
Gui Gongzi did not get a response from the master of the Ma Hall, and expected that he had probably encountered an accident, so he stepped on the head and shoulders of the chaotic army and fiercely threw himself at Guan Zhong and Zhao Dongshan.
The martial artists of the Qi Sea Period can already release their true qi. When you reach the Concentration Realm, the true qi released from the outside will bring its own brilliance. According to its brightness and depth of color, it is easy to judge the attributes and level of a warrior's skill, especially at night, it is more conspicuous.
The advantages and disadvantages of this feature are extremely obvious. For the enemy whose martial arts are inferior to his own, it is a great deterrent, and the enemy's fighting spirit is lost. But if there is a master in the enemy camp whose martial arts are higher than his own, it is a target for self-erection and trouble.
Gao Gang is like this, Guan Zhong and Zhao Dongshan are the same, and the noble son is targeted through their brilliance. Suddenly, the three leading figures of the Gao family army fell into a situation from which they could never recover.
When the difference in the value of individual force is too large, the number of people has little effect on the victory or defeat of the war. Previously, the Gao family army faced the Seahorse Hall, and the few people could defeat the crowd. At this time, the noble prince is still the same for Lu Gang, Guan Zhong, and Zhao Dongshan.
