Chapter 483: Snake Walking
Hanjiang River, the estuary, calm and calm.
The huge Kuntou ship lies in the middle of the Hanjiang River, like an island in the middle of a lake.
At the bow of the ship stood several men and women, all looking north, as if waiting for something.
After a while, two small figures appeared in the river, almost indistinguishable from the surface of the river, but a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes on the boat had already seen it.
"Tsukushi-sama, Ato and Aoi are back!"
Eagletail knows the skills of the two of them, even if the river of the Hanjiang River is turbulent, it should not be difficult for them. However, when Ato and Akui appeared in front of everyone, everyone was taken aback.
I saw that Ah Kui's face was pale, the abdomen he was holding with one hand was red, and the other hand was on Ah Teng's shoulder, obviously seriously injured.
Qiu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to visit and looked at the wound again. It was a scar that ran diagonally across the abdomen from under the ribs, and it seemed to be caused by a sharp weapon, but it was not quite like it.
"What's going on? Did you fight someone? ”
Ato cried, "My lord...... The journey had been smooth, and we could see it clearly from the distance from beginning to end when the Imurais and Cangwu fought that day. Ah Kui said that he would come back quickly to report the news, so he was one step ahead of me. Originally, the river went downstream, and Ah Kui and I swam very fast, but we didn't expect that there were too many broken ice blocks in the river, and we could still avoid it at first, and the more we got from the sea, the more we got from the sea. Seeing that he had already seen the Kuntou ship, Ah Kui was accidentally hit, so it would be like this. I've fed her a pill to stop bleeding, but I don't know if I can hold it. ”
Eagle Tail stretched out his hand to take the pulse, his breath was already weak, and he frowned: "Ah Kui, don't talk or move yet, so as not to lose too much blood." He had already taken out a bunch of medicine bottles from his arms, and took out a row of silver needles to stop the bleeding for her.
Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong looked very dangerous on the side, but they could only watch and couldn't help.
Eagletail was busy for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's about to be fine, and I'll have to take care of it for a while." ”
When everyone heard her say this, they finally put their minds at ease, and Ato stopped crying.
Washio turned his head and ordered, "Ato, I'll have someone carry Akui down to rest first." As for what lies ahead, the stakes are high, and you have to stay and talk about it carefully. ”
Ato wiped his tears and responded, "Yes." It was just after dawn that morning, Ah Kui and I saw the fleet of Cangwu begin to assemble, so we both disguised ourselves as soldiers and boarded the boat. Just in case, we also split up, I got on the ordinary ship, and Ah Kui got on the royal ship of the Cangwu Emperor, called ...... What's it called......"
"Daiyan ship?" Su Xiaochen blurted out.
"Yes, yes, yes! Master Su really knew. ”
"It was a ship built by Uncle You himself, just to use ...... when crossing the river" Su Xiaochen looked solemn and said, "You go on." ”
"Since I have separated from Ah Kui, I can only look at the Daiyan ship from a distance. I saw that the Daiyan had been hiding in the rear from the beginning, and it seemed to be quite guarded. ”
Zhu Zhitong said: "Emperor Wen is suspicious, and he is really cautious. ”
"Except for the Daiyan ship, there are a total of sixteen ships in the Cangwu army, all of which are warships about the same size as the tiger head ship in the blue sea, and each ship has two or three thousand people. At first, they were lined up in a row, but then suddenly they changed. ”
Su Xiaochen hurriedly asked when he heard that the ship formation had changed
"What's the change?" ”
"The Imurans ship appeared in front of them, but there was only one, and the fierce giant stood in the bow. It's the last time we were in Luoxia Bay, we fought with Tsukushi-sama. ”
"Blood Flame King Qi Lie?" Su Xiaochen thought for a while and asked, "You said that it was far away, are you sure you can see it clearly?" ”
"Such a tall person, Ato has never seen it, and the sword in his hand is also terrifyingly big, many people on the ship have seen it, there must be no mistake. Later, I saw that almost all the ships turned their bows and rushed towards the ship of the Blood Flame King, so the formation of ships was chaotic. I also heard people shouting that if you kill this person, you can be crowned, and they all rush forward. ”
Su Xiaochen frowned, shook his head and said, "This must be Wen Lan's plan to lure the enemy." ”
Zhu Zhitong said curiously: "How can you see it? ”
"Uncle Lie's cavalry is famous far and wide, and it is also the greatest reliance on Imuran's combat power. And on the water, the cavalry is everywhere, and it is the weakest time. If you want to destroy the Blood Cavalry, this is certainly a good opportunity! However, it is impossible for Wen Lan, as an Imuran, not to know his weaknesses, since he knows that he still allows Uncle Lie to show it in front of him like this, it must be a trick to lure the enemy! ”
Ato hurriedly nodded and said, "It's a trick to lure the enemy!" Originally, the Cangwu army had a good ship formation lined up, but when they were lured by this Blood Flame King, they all rushed to the southwest corner, and they were all crowded into a heap! Three other ships even scraped together. That's when I saw something strange in the water. ”
"What's unusual?"
"They Cangwu people don't know, but I'm a Liuxia person, and I know that there is a serpentine ship as soon as I see the movement in the water!"
Su Xiaochen and Qiu Yueshi looked at Zhu Zhitong at the same time, and their eyes showed admiration.
"I wondered how our serpentine was here, and there were so many! Before I could think about it, the underside of the boat I was riding on was suddenly hit by something and shook badly! Of course I knew, it had to be a serpentine. But I find it strange that our serpentine ship, although it has a spear in the bow, has to deal with small boats. These warships in Cangwu are all very strong, and if they were to hit us with the spears of our serpentine ships, they would probably break. ”
Qiu Yueshi was also a little strange, looked at Zhu Zhitong and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that after Wen Lan plundered the serpentine ship that we deliberately gave up, he really began to imitate a large number of them. But from now on, it is not only imitated, but also changed! ”
Zhu Zhitong smiled and said, "Aten, the serpentine ship is about to float after sneaking a certain distance, can you see the appearance of those ships clearly?" ”
Ato nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I see it clearly, Ato sees it clearly!" Those serpentine ships are built exactly like ours. There was indeed an iron spear in the bow, but ...... How to say it. Ato always felt that something was different. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Not only are there more spears than ours, but each bow is densely packed with seven or eight to make the ship look like a hedgehog, and the color of the iron spears is different, I think about it...... It's black! ”
Su Xiaochen took over and said: "That's it, the blade clan has always been good at forging, and Wen Lan is proficient in minerals, if something is added to reforge those iron spears, it is unknown." Therefore, even the Cangwu warship that ordinary serpentine ships can't poke into can easily poke in. ”
"yes, I'm on the boat and I'm watching those serpentine ships go back and forth. It was just a stick of incense that opened the belly of a warship next to it
A few holes, and the boat broke into several pieces at once, and all the people on board fell into the water! ”
Su Xiaochen hurriedly asked, "There are a total of sixteen Cangwu warships except for the king ship, how many have been sunk?" ”
"Crashed and sunk...... Sixteen ships. Seeing Su Xiaochen's expression of concern, Ato replied a little hesitantly.
"Sixteen!" Su Xiaochen gasped, half of the elite soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom were wiped out by Wen Lan at once.
Zhu Zhitong saw his expression and knew that he was a heartache for those Cangwu soldiers who had lost their lives, so he was quite apologetic and said, "Da Su...... I deliberately left this serpentine ship for Wen Lan so that he could imitate it and deal with Emperor Wen, but I didn't expect him to imitate so many ......."
Su Xiaochen waved his hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's okay." Although I deplore it, there is no reason for the two armies to show mercy in the confrontation. The victory and defeat of the king are another dignified duel, and death and injury are inevitable. I just didn't expect it...... Wen Lan's hand would be so ruthless. As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Aten, you go on, what happened to the Daiyan ship at this time." The king ship is a ship carefully designed by Uncle You, with the strength of a serpentine ship, no matter how sharp the iron spear is, it should not be able to resist it. ”
Ato said: "At that time, I also pretended to fall into the river like other soldiers, and the incident on the side of the Daiyan ship was later told by Ah Kui. She said that she saw that the serpentine ships before had disappeared without a trace after sinking sixteen Cangwu warships, and did not come to hit the Daiyan ships. However, Emperor Cangwu was already panicked, and ordered to quickly turn the bow of the ship and return to the bank of the Hanjiang River, but the tiger head ship of the Blood Flame King behind was still in hot pursuit. ”
"With just a tiger head ship, how can the Daiyan ship be invincible? Why run away? Su Xiaochen was puzzled.
Ah Kui said that although there was only one tiger head ship, she faintly saw that there was a row of ships behind her, and there were a lot of them, so the Daiyan ship wanted to escape.
"And a row of ships?" Su Xiaochen thought for a while, and said to himself: "I don't know if it's the ship of the Blade Clan or the Eagle Clan." ”
Later, Kui said that she saw some dark shadows in the water on the deck, which looked very similar to the serpentine ship, but it was much smaller.
Qiu Yue couldn't help but ask, "The serpentine ship we were plundered away is already small, how can there be even smaller?" Didn't you change the ship type again? ”
Ah Kui said yes, the boat didn't sink deeply, so Ah Kui could see clearly. She said that the appearance of those ships was quite different from our serpentine ships. And after the impact, it did not leave, but firmly attached itself to the side of the Daiyan ship like a leech. Later, suddenly, the entire Daiyan ship seemed to have been thrown dozens of thunder and fire beads from below, and it exploded into pieces at once, and the entire ship was on fire. Ah Kui said that it would be too late if he didn't run at that time, so he didn't care to see where the Cangwu Emperor was, so he hurriedly jumped into the river to escape. ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but Qiu Yue's face became more and more gloomy and worried. He asked softly:
"Your Majesty, will we be able to make some of our moves in this move?"
Zhu Zhitong was still calm, "What is Qiu Yuejun worried about?" ”
"Seeing that Wen Lan can make so many improvements in such a short period of time when he gets a serpentine ship, he is only afraid of ...... when we fight again."
"Qiuyue-kun, you don't have to worry about this."
"Why is Your Majesty so calm?"
Zhu Zhiyan smiled: "Because it is not wrong for the Imulan people to get the serpentine ship to improve, but I know that it is not Wen Lan's ability." ”
