Although Xie Dongli is a Qincha identity, he didn't think about really using this identity to swagger through the market.

He originally planned to go to Jinling City as quickly as possible, and immediately take the Situ siblings back to the capital after the matter was done.

As a result, some people didn't like him, and even resorted to this kind of ruthless move, so that he had to accept it.

Xie Dongli was originally a detached person, and he didn't want to be too involved in those disturbances.

But the other party is aggressive, he doesn't even pay attention to him, and even wants to get rid of him quickly, this is really when there is no one in their Dongyuan Kingdom who can restrain them......

and the pair of sisters and brothers next door, since he interfered, he couldn't allow those people to continue to be presumptuous.

The other party has already set up a battle, and he can only end happily.

The more they look at him unpleasantly, the more he wants to poke them out in the eye!

Without eyes, there is naturally no problem of whether it is pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, with his understanding of the methods of the Northern Qi people, these dead soldiers who tried to scuttle the ship in the middle of the night were just pawns to explore the way, and there must be more powerful means in the future.

However, when he met him Xie Dongli, the fierce general sent by the other party this time could only sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

Xie Dongxuan's face was indifferent, but the words he said were cold and abnormal: "Raise your vigilance, and prepare for the axe and archers." If someone approaches within ten feet of the official ship, they will be killed! ”

"Yes!" The leader of the Praetorian Guard replied loudly, and immediately turned to set up his guard.

Soon, a large banner with the word "Xie" written on it was raised to the top of the mast, and two rows of lanterns hung underneath. It is written with eight big characters of "Ordered to go south, everyone avoids".

In the dark night sky, these eight gilded characters shone brightly under the cover of red lanterns.

Their official ships are huge. The nearshore water of Gubei Town is shallow, so it cannot stop near the shore, but on the river water one mile away from the dock of Gubei Town.

The bow and stern of the ship were anchored, lest the current be too strong and push the ship off course.

Xie Dongli stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the dark river in the distance.

After a while, there was a ripple on the surface of the river. The ripples slowly expanded, and one after another waves waved, gradually forcing towards the official ship.

Here it comes.

Xie Dongli half-raised his right arm and waved. "Anchor."

"Anchoring? My lord, where are you going in the middle of the night? Didn't the adults say that they would stay in the small town of Gubei for three days? Ah Shun looked puzzled at the dock in the small town of Gubei not far away.

Xie Dongli didn't explain, just turned around and walked to the steps. I went up to the fourth floor.

It's higher there. A wider view.

Although Ah Shun was puzzled, he did not prevent the sergeants and shipwrights on the official ship from obeying Xie Dongli's orders.

The official boat shook for a while, shaking the ripples of the river even more.

Two swarthy and heavy iron anchors slowly rose from the bottom of the water.

Situ Ying's sleeves were shaken awake.

She rubbed her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?" ”

Looking up, it's still pitch black, and it's not dawn yet.

Cai Qin got up from the ground, opened the door of the cabin and looked at it, and said, "It's still dark." I think it's the wind. There were waves, and the boat was jolting. Miss. Are you seasick? ”

Situ Yingsleeve closed his eyes, turned over and fell asleep again.

At this time, Xie Dongli had just walked to the observation deck on the fourth floor of the official ship and stood still, when he heard a loud crackling sound, like several firecrackers exploding together, and a bright red smoke rose in front of him.

The red smoke roared into the sky, illuminating the waters.

At this moment when the red smoke rose and went out, the sergeants and shipwrights on the official ship who were called up to prepare for battle clearly saw the scene on the other side.

I saw dozens of behemoth-like warships, as if they had suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, surrounding their official ships.

"What's going on?!"

"Whose ships are those?!"

Everyone talked about it, although they were not very afraid, but they were still a little uncertain.

Probably not an enemy, right?

Qingjiang is a large river that runs through the east and west in the middle of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the top of the east is on the Yalar Mountain of the Southern Zheng Kingdom, and the west reaches the mouth of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, which is the most important of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Although there were bandits on the river, they were mainly looted by people, and I had never heard of such a large battle of warships.

"Shout! Shout! A sergeant urged.

"Who's coming? Get your name in! A loud voice from the Praetorian Guard shouted at the other side.

No one on the other side responded, but a horn blew on the river, tearing through the tranquility of the river like an iron hand.

The ships were coming towards them without stopping!

"Not good! It's coming at us! The leader of the Praetorian Guard was the first to come back to his senses, and jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Oh no! It's going to be a water war! But we don't know how to fight in water! ”

The best naval teams and soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom were stationed in Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River, which was where they were going this time.

Stationed there to guard against Nan Zheng.

In terms of the combat power of the naval army, among the Three Kingdoms, it was originally the strongest in Northern Qi.

Because Liu Changxiong, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is the most powerful general in the water war!

It's a pity that since his death, the Northern Qi Navy has collapsed.

Therefore, the naval army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the most important thing is to prevent the sneak attack of the Southern Zheng naval army, and there is no need to worry too much about the Northern Qi naval army.

Their batch of Praetorian Guards from the capital are stronger than one another, and they can fight on land and fight against two, but on the water, they are simply a rabble.

And the other party brought a large number of warships, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and at first glance he was a veteran of water warfare......

Their group of Praetorian Guards didn't know how to fight water warfare, and they only had one official ship, so what should they do to fight them?

In a hurry, Ah Shun walked over and said: "The knife and axe hand will go to the outermost edge of the ship, and the archer will go to the attic on the fifth floor to ambush." Someone else comes with me, to the second floor. - Everyone, hurry up and get ready for war! ”

When the Praetorian Guards heard Ah Shun talk, they stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder in surprise. "Ah Shun, okay! I can't believe you're proficient in water warfare?! ”

Ah Shun smiled and said, "Don't praise me!" It's all an order from us! ”

"Isn't Lord Chincha a civil official? Also understand water warfare? ”

"We adults are wise, why not? What don't you understand? - It's just a water war......" Ah Shun said arrogantly. It seems very confident.

The sergeants were attracted by his self-confidence, and became full of confidence, and did as he commanded.

Ah Shun led people to the second floor, and his palms were covered with sweat.

He said big things in front of everyone just now, just to stabilize the morale of the army.

In fact, he is not sure at all!

The fifth master of his family has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can only ride a horse slowly. How can you command a water war of this magnitude!

But Xie Dongli told him that at this time, dead horses should also be used as live horse doctors. He also said that he had seen many examples of water warfare in ancient books, and he might as well put them into practice......

Ah Shun listened to Xie Donglian's words at that time, and his legs were so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily.

He wanted to shout: "My lord! This is a war with your head!

It's not just paper, hey!

But Xie Donglian's calm and calm appearance finally made Ah Shun still say nothing. Obediently went downstairs to pass the word.

Maybe. Is this how the adults of his family are wise and wise?

Forget it, maybe the adults are right, now it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor, throw off your arms and do it!

……

Xie Dongli stood on the observation deck on the fourth floor, standing quietly with his hands in his hands, watching the warships on the opposite side shrink the encirclement smaller and smaller, and tightly encircle their official ships in the middle. - should be about to charge......

Situ Yingsleeve was once again awakened by the sound of shouting, and she shivered. Jumped out of bed and put on his robe. She opened the door to her cabin and looked out, only to see that the door of her cabin was full of Praetorian Guards again!

She didn't care about being shy, pulled the armor of a Praetorian Guard, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Who's coming? ”

Could it be that in addition to those "water ghosts" she killed at the bottom of the river, there are other people who sneak attack?

The Praetorian Guard didn't look back, but said quickly: "There is a warship attacking ahead, and Lord Qincha has ordered us to protect the eldest lady and the eldest young master." ”

"Warship?!" Situ Ying's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice became high-pitched, "What did you say?" Warship? Qingjiang is an inland river, how can there be warships?! ”

In Situ Yingsleeve's impression, such a behemoth as a warship should only be used when the two countries are fighting.

For example, more than 30 years ago, when the Eastern Yuan Kingdom was facing the crisis of national extinction, the warships of the Southern Zheng Kingdom tried to take advantage of the fire to rob, and Chen Bing was at the boundary river at the junction of the two countries.

She had never heard of the appearance of warships that dared to go against the government on the Qingjiang River, the inland river of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom!

Even in her previous life, she had never heard of such a battle on Qingjiang......

"It's a warship, you can already see it." The sergeant stepped aside and let Situ Yingsleeve see for himself.

She pushed the sergeants away, stepped out of her cabin, and leaned on the ship's mast to look into the distance.

The waters near the official ship were very brightly illuminated by lanterns, and the farther away places that could not be illuminated by lanterns were even darker.

And at the junction of light and darkness, one after another behemoths slowly revealed their figures, and drove from the shadows to the light.

Every ship has something in common, such as tall masts and large sails.

Of course, there are some subtle differences.

Some boats have very narrow bows, long and long, like sharp knives, which come by the wind and waves.

Some ships are very large and bulging, and they seem to be able to hold a lot of things and people.

There are also many small rowing boats on the boat, which are densely hung on the side of the boat.

“…… Is it really a warship? Situ Yingsleeve's voice was trembling, she had never seen such a battle, and certainly had never experienced a war.

The Praetorian Guards were a little better than her, but not much better.

They are all sergeants who perform tasks under the emperor of the capital, and they have always walked sideways in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, where have they really experienced such dangers?

But in the end, they are the elite who are selected from a hundred, and in the face of dangers they have never encountered, they can still maintain their morale and do not mess with themselves.

"Rest assured, the eldest lady is a good hand at fighting water battles, and he has already arranged to prepare to meet the enemy. Our scouts have gone into the water and gone ahead to reconnoiter the enemy. A sergeant whispered comfort to Situ Yingsleeve, in fact, the main purpose was to let her go back to the cabin. Don't make a mess outside......

Situ Yingsleeve bit his lip, looked into the distance steadily, and turned back to ask the sergeant, "Your Lord Qincha can fight water battles?" ”

She never knew. Xie Dongli, who has always been a civil official, can still grab the job of a military general......

"Of course!" The sergeant puffed up his chest proudly, as if he was boasting of himself, "Don't forget, our Lord Qincha is the champion of our Eastern Yuan Kingdom!" And the most talented is Xie Lang! That's the best in the world! What's a water war? You can wipe out the other party with just a few fingers! ”

"Hehe......" Situ Yingsleeve laughed twice in response to the situation, and asked again: "Where are you Lord Qincha now?" ”

"My lord went to the observation deck on the fourth floor to command." The sergeant said honestly, "Miss." You go back first. ”

Situ Yingsleeve nodded, turned around and went back to his cabin, and went to the bed.

She didn't lie down and went back to sleep. Instead, he got into the quilt, secretly put on the water back that he had just changed out of his body, and then put on a loose straight skirt outside, and wrapped the silver soft sword around his waist as a belt. And he brought a dagger and a water-splitting moth eyebrow thorn. After dressing up, he got out of the quilt and said to Cai Qin: "Go to the cabin of the eldest young master over there to guard, and no one is allowed to open the door except me." ”

Cai Qin responded and asked nervously, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"The enemy ship is coming, I want to go and see." Situ Yingsleeve combed his hair into a bun. The high plate is on the top of the head and secured with a square scarf. looks like a teenager, but with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, his eyes are rolling, and he can still see the woman's mood.

"Miss, you must be careful!" Cai Qin was terrified when she heard it, but Situ Yingsleeve has always said that she is the same, and she is a subordinate, so it is not easy to stop her.

"I've saved it. You take good care of the eldest young master, don't let him run around. Situ Yingsleeve told him again, and then opened the hatch and walked out.

"Miss, where are you going?" The sergeant guarding the gate chased after him very nervously.

"You don't have to worry about me, go to the door of my brother's cabin and keep watch. As long as my brother is okay, I will be rewarded! Situ Yingsleeve wristed and put a silver horn of one or two into the sergeant's hand.

The sergeant was stunned, and Situ Yingsleeve had already walked far away.

She stumbled up the stairs and came to the fourth-floor observation deck.

"Miss Situ! How did you get here? "Ah Shun arranged the manpower on the second floor, and he just came up to report to Xie Dongli. At this time, he heard someone coming up and was about to scold, but when he raised his eyes and found that it was Situ Yingsleeve, he hurriedly swallowed the words of scolding that came to his mouth.

"I'll see what's going on here." Situ Yingsleeve said implicitly, he had already come to Xie Dongli's side, looked up at his tall silhouette, and asked urgently, "Master Xie, what's going on?" ”

"Didn't you ask the people below?" Xie Dongli didn't look at her, looked at the front and said indifferently.

"They say it's a warship......" Situ Yingsleeve said hesitantly, "I want to hear your opinion." "Obviously still don't believe the sergeants below.

"What if I also say it's a warship?" Xie Dongli looked into the distance and said.

"I believe what you say." Situ Yingsleeve said with a straight face, ready for the worst in his heart.

Xie Dongli looked back, glanced at her deeply, then moved his gaze to the river in the distance, and said indifferently: "Yes, it's a warship." ”

"How can there be warships?! This is Qingjiang! It is the inland river of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom! Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but shout, his hands clenched into fists, and he also looked in the direction where those warships were coming.

The first to come were the warships with their bows as narrow as knives, and they broke through the water so fast that they were like arrows from a string.

"What kind of ship is that?" Situ Ying's eyes widened, and he asked, pointing to the ships that were hurrying towards their official ship.

"Those are ramming boats." Xie Donglian's voice was particularly beautiful in the dark night, adding a touch of warmth to this solemn night.

"Crashing into a ship? What for? ”

"A collision ship, as the name suggests, is a ship that comes to crash a ship. Didn't you see that the bow of the ship was particularly narrow? At its speed, it came at full speed, and in the event of a collision with our ship, it could cut our official ship in half from the middle. Xie Dongli made a knife cutting gesture and said with interest.

"You're still laughing?!" Situ Yingsleeve was annoyed, pointed to the boats and said, "Look at it! They'll be coming soon! ”

"yes, I know." Xie Dongli didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and leaned on the mast of the ship for a long time. Look ahead and start counting: "Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One." ”

As Xie Dongli spit out the numbers one by one, the speed of those menacing collision boats slowed down step by step. In the end, as if he had tripped over something, he finally stopped when Xie Dongli counted to ten.

"What's going on? How did these ships stop? Situ Ying's heart almost rose to his throat, and then he exhaled, slowly sinking like a chest.

The sergeants on the third and second floors let out cheers.

Dozens of sergeants emerged from the bottom of the water and swam back to their side with all their might.

It turned out that Xie Dongli had sent someone to the water area in front of the official ship in advance to set up a rope barrier to wrap around the oars of these collision boats!

"Archers put arrows to cover!"

For a while, arrows flew on the river. Some were shot from the enemy ship behind, and some were shot from the official ship to block the enemy's arrows.

Whoosh!

In a rain of arrows. Some of the Janissaries did not have time to disperse, and the enemy ships fired from behind and sank to the bottom of the river.

But most of the sergeants returned to the ship in time.

Situ Yingsleeve's eyes were a little moist, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. Silent. Turn around and go.

"Stop!" Xie Dongli scolded her, "Where are you going?" ”

Situ Ying said without looking back: "My water nature is the best, I'm going to help them!" ”

"Come back!" Xie Dongli strode over, ignoring his strange illness for a while, and held her arm tightly, "You are a woman!" Don't go! ”

"What's wrong with the woman? Don't look down on women! Situ Yingsleeve snatched his arm and did not flinch.

Xie Dongli looked at her steadily, and the itching on his hands appeared again. It's itchy in the heart, and it has been passed to the bottom of my heart.

No need to look down. He also knew he had a rash again.

He used to be so annoyed that he didn't want to see people, but today he was glad he had this strange problem.

Holding on to the ship's mast, he suddenly leaned forward, and his whole body coughed violently.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you, my lord? Ah Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Dongli.

Xie Dongli winked at him.

Ah Shun immediately understood, turned his head and said to Situ Ying, who was at a loss: "Miss Situ, our adults are sick again, please help me protect him here, I will go down to give orders on behalf of my lords!" ”

If Xie Dongli just didn't let her go, Situ Yingsleeve would definitely not listen to him, and he was determined to go into the water to help the Praetorian Guards fight a water fight.

But Xie Dongli suddenly fell ill, but she couldn't leave him behind and walked away.

Xie Dongli is the person with the highest official position on this ship, and he must not fall.

Situ Ying pursed her lips, turned around and walked back, reaching out to support Xie Dongli.

Xie Dongli hurriedly took a step to the side, and his voice was very low: "No need, I'm fine." ”

The more he said he was fine, the more worried Situ Yingsleeve became.

Xie Dongli immediately turned around, took out the pill he was carrying from his sleeve pocket, poured one into his mouth, and swallowed it.

This is a pill he made with the prescription that Situ Yingsleeve gave him before, and it works very well on his red rash.

Of course, it can't be seen immediately, but it's usually all gone away in two or three days.

After taking a pill, the tingling itch on his body immediately lightened a lot.

Situ Yingsleeve saw that Xie Dongli was still carrying pills with him, and felt even more guilty in his heart, standing beside him with low eyebrows, and conscientiously acting as a bodyguard.

Ah Shun quickly ran down the stairs and went to the second floor to prepare.

In the distance, the enemy shouted for attack, and the war drums on the warships beat and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After the failure of the first round of ramming, the enemy clearly had no intention of retreating, but launched an even more fierce attack.

The small rowboats were lowered and drove towards them with dark-faced men.

The sound of bows and arrows whizzed in the air, more intense than the rain of arrows just now.

In the rain of arrows, she heard Xie Dongli whisper in her ear: "...... Stay, stay by my side......"

She wanted to refuse, and wanted to go to the front to fight side by side with the sergeants, but her feet did not obey the call, and firmly guarded Xie Donglian's side, an inch away, no more, no less.

Xie Donglian's tall figure stood in front of her, protecting her whole body behind her, holding a few small flags in his hands, and constantly giving orders to the Praetorian Guards below.

"Do you really know how to fight water wars?" Situ Yingsleeve muttered.

"No, it won't." Xie Dongli replied calmly, "I have never fought." ”

"Then how could you ......?" Situ Ying said with his sleeves covered his chest, feeling that he couldn't breathe.

"I learned from reading books. Paper. Xie Dongli said without taboo at all.

A fierce battle is raging under the ship.

Some of the men in the rowboats were killed by their archers, and when they climbed to the side of the boat, they were killed by the ambushed axemen.

After an hour, the other party will not please at all.

Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but jump up and look out, "What's wrong?" What's going on? Is it over? ”

"Not yet." Xie Dongli said in a deep voice, "The big guy on the other side is on the field." As he spoke, he moved his steps to the side and let Situ Yingsleeve see.

The water in front of them was lit red with fire, and the river was full of smoke and blood, and there were scattered armor and weapons, and the enemy soldiers who had been killed.

Obviously, the other party is already at a disadvantage, but there is no intention of retreating at all.

It didn't take long for the remaining ships of the opposing side to split up, and a larger behemoth was revealed.

It's an ironclad warship!

Finished......

Situ Ying's heart sank, and he pulled Xie Dongli's shirt, "Let's abandon the ship and run for our lives......

The ironclad warships are coming, and they have almost no chance of winning.

Xie Dongli scolded: "Let go!" ”

He was not afraid of the opponent's ironclad warship, but he was afraid of Situ Ying's small hands......

Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly let go of his hand and took a step forward.

"That's all they have to offer." Xie Dongli sneered, raised the small flag in his hand with both hands, and slid it twice across his chest.

Syllable!

There was a cracker-like crunch from under the boat, followed by a dull creaking sound, as if something was slowly poking its head out!

Situ Yingsleeve felt the fierce vibration of the hull, and couldn't help but look down, and suddenly gasped.

Cannon!

The official ship was actually equipped with cannons!!

I saw cannons sticking out of the cabin on the second floor of their official ship!

"Put!" With Ah Shun shouting-

Bang!

Those cannons roared and slammed down on the opposing ironclad warship!

Although the opponent's ironclad warship is strong, it has a fatal weakness, that is, it is extremely prone to heat!

Once hit by a lightning bullet from their cannon, it immediately turns into a fiery soldering iron!

"How can there be a cannon on an official ship?! You're a bitch! We were scammed! The people on the enemy ship let out a roar of rage, and they jumped out of the ironclad warship one by one!
