Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 462 Only thunder and no rain

"Helper! It seems that there is a ship on fire ahead? Jing Zhe was still drinking himself in the room, and the sound of the report came from outside again.

"Oh? Could it be that after Wu Chengye and Ge Mi caught Mu Hong, the others were thrown on the boat and then set on fire? Jing Zhe drank the wine in his hand and asked.

"This ......" The person who reported did not dare to answer no, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "Helper, looking at the situation in front, it seems that the three ships are on fire......

"What!?" Jing Zhe was so surprised that he even dropped the wine glass in his hand, he looked at the person in front of him dumbfounded, he was not stupid, they were three ships to encircle and suppress Mu Hong, now since they came to report that the three ships were on fire, and it was this kind of look and attitude, then there was only one possibility, the three ships that they had caught up with before were now all set on fire by Mu Hong's ship?

How did they get it? Could it be that some of them will breathe fire, or will they have people who are good at water, and by being useful, they can climb into the boat and set fire to it? This is also unlikely, with this kind of water, just chisel through the transmission directly, why bother so much.

This kind of work lurking in must only be one or two people, and the number of people will never be large, and the three ships they chased up, each of which has more than a hundred people, if it is discovered, then the people lurking in will definitely be dead or alive, and they will definitely be killed on the spot, so Jing Zhe feels that this kind of thing is unlikely.

Just when Jing Zhe was puzzled, the two heard a loud thunder in the room, and then their faces changed, Jing Zhe quickly got up and opened the window to look at the night sky outside.

After confirming, Jing Zhe took the lead in running out of the cabin, came to the deck, and looked forward, sure enough, he could clearly see three fires, at this time they were about two miles away from the three ships in front, and they could still see the situation in front of them slightly.

Sure enough, three ships were in the shape of a zigzag on the river, and the three ships were all in high flames, and the smoke from him could be seen in the dark night, if it weren't for the heavens on their side, there would have been a thunderstorm that was about to fall, otherwise all three ships would have been wiped out.

There are more than 300 people, 200 elites under his own hands, plus 100 elite soldiers under the two Liao people, a full 300 people, Jing Zhe still doesn't know what the other party made these three ships catch fire at the same time, no matter how he thinks about it, he didn't expect that the other party used crossbow arrows to attack.

It's just that when Jing Zhe received the report, it seemed that the three ships had been burning for a while, and he didn't know what about the casualties on them? By now, Jing Zhe's inner lightness and joy have also faded, and there is even a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

He is the one who knows that Mu Hong only has the pair of Lei Laohu on hand now, so the result he didn't expect now must be the "ink blade", that is, the two Liao nobles who are not afraid of heaven and earth.

I already knew on the dock that there were about 70 of them, plus Mu Hong and Lei Laohu, there was only one person, so the "ink blade" was only more than 60 people at most, so the miserable situation that the three ships in front of him were still burning with thick smoke was caused by these more than 60 "ink blade" people? Jing Zhe thought so much in his heart, he began to feel as if he had provoked people who would not change his provocation.

If there are only more than sixty people with this kind of powerful combat power, then a few hundred, even if he Jingzhe is in Xicheng, it seems that he will not be very safe! Thinking of this, Jing Zhe secretly decided in his heart that he must wipe out all the people on Mu Hong's ship, leaving no one behind, otherwise even if they catch Mu Hong this time and eliminate him from this trouble, the ink blade will become a bigger hidden danger.

And Yun Qing, who Jing Zhe was now thinking about how to deal with, touched his head and looked at Mu Hong speechlessly......

Mu Hong was obviously aware of his embarrassment, and at this time his face was full of embarrassment, so he could only smirk with his face.

Yun Qing also knew in her heart that the weather was unpredictable, and this was really not to blame on Mu Hong, if it was really so powerful, then Mu Hong could not be used as the leader of the Cao Gang.

He has long been respected as a heavenly master by the imperial court, specially used to save drought and flooding, so that the world has long been smooth and the mountains and rivers are good.

Thinking of this, Yun Qing shook his head, and then raised his head to look at the clouds behind the lightning that flashed from time to time. After a while, he spoke, "In my opinion." This thunderstorm doesn't have to happen right now. When you leave, it will be a long time before it really rains, but it is not uncommon for thunder to be heavy and rainy, maybe this is the case! "Le

Mu Hong also nodded slightly when he heard this, as if in order to make up for his "slip of the tongue" just now, he said affirmatively: "These people, inside and out, are all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, and these people will definitely be retributed!" God will definitely see it! ”

Yun Qing said that although it has been thundering, it may not rain immediately, and the people on the three boats, after hearing the first thunder, then heard thunder many times one after another, but the rain has not fallen, not to mention any thundershowers, torrential rain, not even drizzles and small raindrops.

Wu Chengye went through the surprise at the beginning, and then held the joy of finally being saved, and after waiting for a while, it still looked like it was about to rain, but it just didn't rain, and this one was right away, it was still up to God to decide, no matter how urgent they were in their hearts, it was useless.

There were a few people who believed in ghosts and gods, who were already kneeling there at this time and bowing to the sky and begging sincerely, one by one with their hands folded and prostrating frequently, and there were words in their mouths, and they didn't know if they would have been killed by a few thunderbolts if they had been innocently manifested.

After waiting for a while, there was still no rain, Wu Chengye and the others could only continue to chop, if they waited until the ship was about to burn out, the rain would fall, and the fire was too fierce at that time, unless it was a thunderstorm, it would be useless in a short time, they still had to jump ship to save their lives.

Therefore, we can only continue to chop and make the final preparations, so as to ensure that no matter what the final outcome is, we can deal with it properly. Now it is not only the despair of the people on these three ships from the beginning, to the unexpected surprise, to the joy of being rescued, and then to the current continued worry, more and more anxious at the same time, but also more and more afraid.

If the rain really hasn't fallen in the end, then they can only rely on the chopped planks to escape, hoping to be lucky enough to be rescued by the two boats behind, if they are unlucky, they are pushed by the wave all the way to the river, not the riverbank, then even if they hold on to this wooden stick, it is useless, there is no physical object, it is still dead.

Even if they have to swim to the shore with their legs and feet all the time, in the face of the surging water of the Yangtze River, their personal strength is still no match for the power of nature, and it is useless.

If they happen to be pushed under Mu Hong's ship, then what awaits them must be the shooting of crossbow arrows, so everyone knows in their hearts that even if they are forced to jump off the boat with a wooden plank in the end, they may not be able to be rescued, and maybe after drifting with the wind, they will not be able to escape the fate of being shot by those people in the end.

While slashing hard, these people kept watching the thick black clouds in the sky, hoping that it would immediately rain heavily.

And Jing Zhe, Yelu Haiqi and Yelu Junmao naturally sensed that this thief really thundered and didn't rain, and the two ships ordered all the crew members to quickly control and move forward at full speed.

Yelu Haiqi and Yelu Junmao also knew that the three ships in front of them were on fire at about the same time as Jing Zhe, and they were even more shocked by this matter than Jing Zhe, after all, they had been mentally prepared for a long time, how could Yun Qing and them, as people belonging to a mysterious organization on the Terrifying Ink Blade, not be powerful.

However, they never thought of what reason Yun invited them to win so neatly, as their ships accelerated, they got closer and closer to the four ships in front, and they could see more clearly, three of them surrounded the middle one, but it looked a little far away, and this one of them didn't have anything, and the three ships that surrounded them were all on fire.

As a Liao people who have lived on horseback for generations, for the Liao people who are very skilled in bending bows and archery, Yelu Haiqi immediately thought that they must have used bows and arrows to attack with fire to cause this effect, as for firearms, although they also heard that Dayan had this kind of long-range weapon when they were in Liao, but it seems that this thing will only be lethal at close range, and it is not very safe.

Therefore, even the Great Yan official did not have any financial and human investment in firearms, and even many generals felt that instead of bothering about this, it was better to study how to increase the power of the bow and crossbow to be bigger, faster, and stronger.

Yelu Haiqi and Yelu Junmao also walked to the bow of the ship, holding on to the railing on the deck, looking forward, and after observing for a while, Yelu Haiqi's first judgment was that the ship where Mu Hong was in front must be equipped with a large number of rockets, the kind of good props that can completely ignite other ships.

"This ...... Ink Blade: How can they get so many long-range crossbows? Yelu Junmao asked subconsciously, but this can better prove that this subordinate organization of the Ink Blade is indeed very powerful and mysterious. They Liao people, who were born to ride horses and shoot arrows, arrived in the territory of Dayan, and in the end they still didn't bring any bows and crossbows, just because the Yan Dynasty was forbidden by order.
