Yuan Shao quickly caught up with Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong and others, of course, it was not that his war horses were a few points better than Ju Yi's, but when they chased three or five miles out of the city to the north, everyone had no way to chase them bravely.

Because suddenly a great lake appeared in front of them, and the water of the lake was mighty, and the blue waves were ten thousand acres, well, black waves.

They followed Yuan Shao's southern expedition to the north and fought extraordinarily, and they also sharpened their extraordinary minds on the battlefield, but they had never seen such a puzzling thing as in front of them, let alone seen that there would be a black lake in this world.

The water of the lake was pitch black, and a layer of black liquid floated on the surface of the lake, as if someone had spread a layer of coal on the surface of the lake.

What's even more strange is that the sun sets in the twilight, but you can't see the reflection of the green mountains and blue sky around you, only the afterglow of the residual sun on the liquid. On the liquid, there are dozens of large ships and two or three hundred small boats, and there is no end in sight at a glance.

The boat was only one zhang long, and the boat was full of soldiers under the command of Gongsun Zhan, densely packed, about thirty or twenty people. However, the big ship was five stories high, about six or seven feet long, and it seemed that it could fit five or six hundred people.

The boat was all on the oars and had no mast, and the mast of the big ship was not towering into the sky, but it was three or five zhang long, and the huge sails were hanging on the mast and hanging in the air, and the sound of the evening breeze drove the big ship forward, and Gongsun Chan and Wu Yan and the whirlwind riders under his command were on these big ships.

The speed of the small boat is acceptable, but the speed of the big boat is not fast, but it can still cut the waves on the black lake.

Yuan Shao and the others did not have a ferry, and if they wanted to catch up with the big boat, it was tantamount to a fool's dream, so they could only stomp their feet and beat their chests on the shore, and look at Gongsun Zhan's back on the boat.

The sky was getting dark, a mist was rising from the lake, and the boats were gradually disappearing into the twilight.

Yuan Shao stood on the shore, only hearing the sound of the oars hitting the lake, the sound of the enemy's gongs and drums, the chirping of countless water birds, and the sound of the trumpets of the captains, and his heart was slightly confused: Is it necessary to let Gongsun Zhan, the dog thief, escape again this time?

"Report!" A scout came from a distance, and fell into the saddle and dismounted in front of Yuan Shao, Ju Yi and others, "Lord Qiqi, the last general and others found that Gongsun Zhan's dog thief also hid more than 300 fishing boats in the weeds when they were searching by the lake, it should be the boat they didn't have time to destroy and take away!" ”

"Is that true?" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned

He turned his head and looked directly at the scout, his fists clenched, and the nails on his hands touched the palms of his hands.

The lord looked anxious and eager to kill Gongsun Chan immediately, the scout laughed secretly in his heart, and saw his top boss Ju Yi sweeping his cold eyes, and hurriedly retracted his thoughts and nodded back: "The last general will not dare to deceive the lord, there is indeed such a thing!" ”

"Then tell me more!"

"Lord Qi, the last general was ordered by General Ju to personally lead his sons and daughters to explore the lakeshore path. After some searching, I finally found a lakeshore trail more than ten miles away. However, the trail was winding and overgrown with weeds, making it extremely difficult for pedestrians and horses.

Fortunately, this time even God took the initiative to stand on the side of the lord, and on the way back, we found that there were about 300 fishing boats hidden in the aquatic plants of the lake three or five miles away, and each fishing boat could carry about 30 soldiers! ”

"Good, well done!" Yuan Shao patted the scout's shoulder, and a heartfelt smile bloomed on his face, making people feel like a spring breeze, "Take me and others quickly, if Ben Shuai can kill Gongsun Lao'er this time, Ben Shuai will personally give you a first credit!" ”

"No! Thanks a lot... Thank you, the lord, the last general will take the lord forward! The scout was so excited and incoherent that he almost fell on his horse.

The group followed the scouts for a quarter of an hour to a lake, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of scouts pulling out more than 300 promising fishing boats from the grass, dotted on the bay, like stars hanging in the night.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and wanted to turn over and dismount, Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong and others were so frightened that they hurriedly fell off the saddle and dismounted and stopped in front of them: "Lord, kill chickens with a knife, let the last general and others go to this lake, and the last general will promise to cut off the head of Gongsun Lao'er and give it to the lord as a night pot!" ”

"Get on board and pursue!"

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and with a whip, Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong had already led their sons and daughters to board the fishing boat and rushed out like arrows.

After about another hour, Ju Yi and the others came to the middle of the vast black pool, and the big ships in front of them were already visible in the twilight, and strings of red lanterns were hung on both sides of dozens of big ships, guiding Ju Yi and the others in the direction of progress.

"Quick, quick, brothers, keep doing harder!"

Looking at the big ship in front of them, Ju Yi, Chun Yuqiong, Guo Yuan and others were on fire in their hearts, as if they had seen countless glittering copper coins and Hehe Army

Gong, grabbed the oars in the hands of the soldiers beside him and slammed into the lake violently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The two armies gradually approached, bursts of war drums came from the night, the fire suddenly lit up, and before they knew it, more than 200 small boats had turned out of the fishing boats of Ju Yi and others, like wolves in the deep forest, tightly surrounding everyone, eyeing each other.

At the bow of each boat stood three stout men, holding a burning torch in their hands, the tendons on their arms, the water on their upper bodies, and the shields in front of them were clearly visible in the light of the fire, and in the cabin behind them stood more than twenty soldiers, but those were not real soldiers, but twenty scarecrows.

"It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

Ju Yi is worthy of being a battle-hardened general under Yuan Shao, and when he saw Zhongfu, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to turn the bow of the ship, intending to withdraw from the siege.

It's a pity that all this came too quickly, and Ju Yi woke up too late!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As soon as the military order fell, there was a huge sound of waves in the dense fog two or three miles ahead, which was the sound of Gongsun Chan's big ship landing on the reef, and it was also the sound of Gongsun Chan's army blowing the horn of the counterattack.

"Kill!"

The soldiers under Ju Yi's command were still hesitating, when an order suddenly sounded from the mouth of the captain on the ship that surrounded them, and what made them frightened finally happened.

I saw the men on the fishing boat in front of them take out a long thin bamboo branch from behind and put it in their mouths, and then slammed the torch in their hands on the scarecrow sitting in the cabin, and then a fierce man jumped off the fishing boat and disappeared on the lake like a swimming fish.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

With a bang, the scarecrows in the more than 200 fishing boats burst into flames, and one after another flames rose into the sky, as if the entire starry sky in the sky had fallen on the surface of the lake.

Then, the fishing boat was also "influenced" by those scarecrows, and burned itself hard in the starry sky. The cool breeze blew and countless sparks fluttered and swayed in the firelight, and then splashed on the surface of the lake, which was covered with a shallow layer of fire oil, and the lake also burned.

The remnant sun has fallen to the ground, the sunset is still hanging in the sky, and the danxia is like a brocade and colorful. But the black pool does not reflect the same beauty of the sunset, the fire on the black pool is blazing, the smoke is filled, and the entire black pool has turned into a sea of fire.
