Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fire Burns into the Cloud Village

When night fell, the sky was glowing with dim blue light, and on the vast and boundless water, more than 30 warships of Li Haozi left into Yunzhai and sailed towards a lonely island, where several dim oil lamps loomed, and occasionally a few men laughed. Not far from the shore of the isolated island, the water archway lookout post, as the first line of defense of this small island, there are four sentry posts standing on it, who are leisurely walking, humming a little song in their mouths, looking at the water in the distance.

The night was very quiet, and the water was very quiet, and just under this quiet water, a dozen capable men in black suddenly appeared, with daggers in their mouths and long knives hanging from their waists. More than a dozen black-clothed people slowly looked around, and after confirming that they were safe, they quietly climbed to the lookout post of the archway along the pillar like a monkey, hunched their waists, and quickly sneaked behind the sentry against the wall, and almost at the same time strangled their necks and covered their mouths from behind, and then cut their throats with a knife, blood splashed, and the four sentry posts lay down silently.

After solving the sentry posts, some of the black-clothed men sneaked into the shore and wiped the necks of several sentry posts on the shore to guard the island, and some took down the oil lamps on the archway. Two long and two short light signals are emitted to the water surface in the distance. After a few moments, the mighty fleet was getting closer and closer, and slowly began to block the only way out of the isolated island. In the middle of these warships, there is a three-story big ship, and the one standing in the bow is Li Haozi, who saw the striker's success, with a smug smile on his face, and said:

"Hmph, Shi Liang, Shi Liang, I've been fighting with me for a few years, and today is your death date for the coming year. If you dare to park the warships in the harbor densely, this is God wants you to die! Let the brothers sneak in, first burn Shi Liang's warship to me, and then everyone get on the ship, shoot those who fled with bows and arrows, and finally attack with all their strength, annihilating Shi Liang in one fell swoop, and this sea will be our brother's world in the future! Give it to me! ”

Li Haozi's warship slowly approached Shi Liang's warship moored at the dock, and he had already vaguely seen more than forty warships on the dock, neatly arranged, like a stunning woman, waiting for the ravages of the strong men. Li Hezi's minions also prepared oil and ignition materials, just waiting for a rocket to shoot and it will be done! Thinking that once Shi Liang is destroyed, in the future, the whole sea will be the only one, rampant on the sea, and enjoy inexhaustible wealth, everyone's hearts are excited.

Suddenly, the shore of the harbor was brightly lit, and hundreds of fires were lit at the same time, illuminating more than 30 warships of Li Haozi. The warships in the harbor also started at the same time, shooting countless rockets in an instant, and dozens of firearms on the ship also rang out, and the five closest warships were engulfed in fire in an instant, and there were chirping and scolding and mournful wails.

Instantaneous earth-shattering changes, if Li Haozi didn't know the plan, it would be a strange thing. Li Haozi's eyes seemed to be bleeding, thinking about the huge amount of silver that had been given to Zhang Xian, thinking about that Zhang Xian and Shi Liang joined forces again, and his own money was also eaten by him, it must have leaked the news, and Shi Liang gave more silver, so that the county lieutenant Zhang Xian turned back again. It's really fucking that the goose beater was pecked blind by the geese, and he was calculated, and a few words popped out of his teeth:

"It's a trick, Zhang Xian, a liar, if you don't break your body into ten thousand pieces, you will swear not to be a human being! Hurry up, hurry up and withdraw to the cottage, we will be safe when we get to the cottage!! ”

Li Haozi is still very confident in the safety of his cottage, even if he came out to attack Shi Liang this time, he also left four or five hundred brothers to guard the cliff mouth on the lonely road, and only need to casually throw a few rolling stones and sasswoods, even if thousands of troops and horses do not want to attack the top of the mountain, the mistakes of the previous imperial army are the best proof.

In fact, where do you still use Li Hezi to say that these pirates are all human spirits, but when they saw that the sneak attack failed but was ambushed, they knew in their hearts that it was bad, and if they didn't withdraw now, wouldn't they wait for death? So he rowed back desperately, and for a moment, after a violent collision between the boats, the pirates were pirates after all, and soon turned the bow of the ship and ran back at a rapid speed.

Shi Liang's side would not give up this good opportunity to chase and defeat the enemy, the warships came out together, and for a while, the war drums sounded loudly, and the warship rowed quickly towards Li Haozi's warship, Shi Liang's warship, rockets rained down on the two ships behind, and the raging fire quickly engulfed Li Haozi's two warships in the night.

But after all, Li Haozi is an old pirate who has been rampant on the sea for decades, although he is ruthless, it does not mean that his ability is poor, otherwise he would not be able to become one of the best pirate leaders. Even in the process of escaping, Li Haozi had people drop the giant trees connected by chains from the ship, and soon blocked the warship pursued by Shi Liang, taking this opportunity, Li Haozi and the minions quickly fled back to the entrance of the cottage.

Here, Zhang Xian and Shi Liang stood on top of the painting boat, looking at the shouting and killing in the distance, Zhang Xian smiled and nodded, and said:

"The junior brother is really worthy of being a master and a high apprentice, the naval battle is really worthy of the name, and in the blink of an eye, he destroyed several warships of Li Haozi, this time, Li Haozi is considered to have kicked the iron plate."

"Senior brother, naval warfare is indeed my master's strength, but this time Li Haozi and they attacked too quickly, and there was no blocking warship outside, if we were really attacked by Li Haozi and did not take precautions, then our losses would be great. Therefore, Li Haozi's loss is not big, this land battle, the junior brother should be good, as if the senior brother asked for advice! Shi Liang picked up his glass and said.

Zhang Xian also picked up the wine glass, made a gesture of invitation to Shi Liang, then drank it all, pursed his lips and said:

"Senior brother is humble, I'll just drink here, just Li Hemp, I really didn't pay attention to Senior Brother. Presumably, the junior brother should also know that no matter how strong these pirates are, they will only be tossed for decades, and our real enemies are the Mengyuan Tartars, and only they will let us destroy the country and the species, and turn the world upside down, and then tens of thousands of ordinary people will be ruined, and the mountains and rivers will be red. ”

Shi Liang saw Zhang Xian take the wine glass and drink it all, when it came to Mengyuan Tartar, his voice was full of determination and crispness, which made Shi Liang couldn't help but wonder, does this senior brother really have the talent to turn things upside down? Said:

"Shi Di was also enthusiastic about serving the country in the past, so he went to join Jiang Xuan's mentor, eager to return from his studies to serve the country and the court. However, fate made people impoverished, and he became a pirate. But junior brother, I have always adhered to the moral bottom line, and I have never killed an innocent person in vain. All I robbed was the money of other pirates. If there is a chance to cross the battlefield in the future, I will definitely follow my brother. ”

As soon as Shi Liang finished speaking, there was an uproar in front of him.

At this moment, Shi Liang saw that all Li Haozi's warships had arrived at the edge of the "Cloud Village", and the pirates abandoned the ships one after another. I saw Li Haozi surrounded by a group of minions, hurriedly jumped off the warship, and rushed to the cottage, at this moment, a minion shouted loudly:

"Big boss, no, there was a strange smell on the water just now, and when did we pile up so much firewood and straw at the door of this cottage? Didn't we have it when we went? ”

Li Haozi looked back, but no, the pungent smell didn't know what it was, and the entrance of this wide cottage, I don't know when it was full of firewood and straw, when Li Haozi was out of his mind, the top of the mountain suddenly burst into flames, and the raging fire extended to the mountainside. This kind of fire is something that Li Haozi has never seen or heard in his life, because in the blink of an eye, the entire cottage suddenly burst into flames several feet high. There was nothing burning for three days and three nights, there was no wind to help the fire, and there was no fire to burn the plains, it was just a raging fire, Li Haozi had already forgotten to run, and shouted in a daze:

"How so? Is this Skyfire? ”

"The big boss, the fire on the mountain is so fierce, those brothers who guard the mountain have no chance of survival, the most important thing is that it is impossible for us to rush through the fire and go up the mountain, once Shi Liang and them come to surround us, we will be wiped out, the big boss, let's hurry up and get on the boat and escape, otherwise it will be too late." A minion said to Li Haozi with a crying voice.

"Get on the boat, everyone get on the boat, let's escape from this place first, we must avenge this revenge, and in the future, we must regret the two bastards, Shi Liang and Zhang Xian!" Li Haozi roared, and hurriedly boarded the boat surrounded by minions.

Shi Liang was also stunned when he saw it on the boat, this kind of ferocious fire that broke out in an instant was also unheard of, just as the pirates who came ashore were making a mess and were about to withdraw to the warship, a more incredible scene appeared, because the water was also burning with raging fire, Shi Liang hurriedly stood at the highest point of the painting boat, took out his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously, squeezed his eyebrows vigorously, stared at the burning water, just to see clearly, reconfirmed that it was the fire burning on the water, and then spread to the firewood and straw on the shore, The whole area was covered with flames, and it was clearly visible from hundreds of miles away.

Hundreds of pirates who had escaped the fire crowded onto the shore, and saw thousands of archers rushing out of the shore, neatly arranged in several rows, quiet, orderly, and in unison. Just in front of a burly man waved his hand, the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun suddenly made the frightened eyes of the pirates show despair, and instantly tied the hundreds of pirates into hedgehogs, and then about a hundred archers stepped forward to investigate, and the rest turned to the perimeter to stand guard.

Seeing all this, Shi Liang turned his head and pursed his lips, as if he had seen a ghost, he looked at Zhang Xian, who was not surprised and drank by himself, and there was a burst of fear in his heart, what kind of spell is this or is there a god to help? A raging fire can be lit on the surface of the water where water and fire are incompatible, no wonder the senior brother is so confident and lifts weights lightly.

Shi Liang watched Li Haozi's dozens of warships being engulfed in flames in an instant, and faintly heard the mournful shouts of the pirates, knowing in his heart that in today's battle, Li Haozi would be completely buried in this raging sea of fire, and there would be no life, and the senior brother in front of him was fortunately his fellow classmate, otherwise, as a pirate, the senior brother really wanted to exterminate himself, how could he escape the fire in the water?
