The boat sails on the river, against the current. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The moon was sparse, and in the cold moonlight, the crow turned three times towards the branches, and a huge five-story ship was slowly heading north. After a short journey from west to east, the ship will travel north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal until the end of the canal, the capital of Qi.

On the tributary river, this behemoth is particularly bulky, especially when sailing against the current, the scenery outside the window will not change for a long time, which makes people have to wonder, is it faster to walk than this?

Fortunately, the people on the ship were not anxious, and they even hoped that the journey would never reach the end.

Especially on the roof terrace of the ship, the two envoys under the moon - Zhou Yannian and Zhao Wuxi.

I saw the two sitting opposite each other at a round table, with exquisite dishes on the table, but no one moved a single chopstick. The two of them bowed their heads vigorously and drank sullen wine, but did not speak, each thinking about their own thoughts......

Zhou Yannian was very depressed because he fell in the place where he was in the middle of nowhere...... Nineteen years ago, when he was still the small head of Honglu Temple, he went south to Chu with the mission to negotiate with Emperor Jingtai in the prime of life. After two months of arduous negotiations, an agreement was finally reached on the joint dispatch of troops, laying a solid foundation for the great victory of the Qi State.

After the war, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and everyone in the mission was awarded, and he was promoted two levels in a row because of his outstanding performance, and became a five-grade lang, and then more than ten years of official fortune were prosperous, successively serving as the right waiter, the left waiter, and finally survived the superior the year before last, reached a new height in his personal career, and was honored as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites!

Now that the war is about to begin, he was ordered to come to Nanchu again, along the waterway he walked nineteen years ago, he hopes to repeat the glory of the past and lay the foundation for further progress...... Before leaving, the prime minister had promised him that as long as he could bring back a similar covenant as nineteen years earlier, he would be able to leave the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites and take up the post of secretary of the new ministry.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Ministry of Officials is also known as the Heavenly Official, and it is the existence of the civil officials of the Qi State second only to the Prime Minister, what a great honor this is!

However, the ideal and the reality are always too far apart, just like the distance between Shangjing and Shenjing. Meng Shangshu, who was full of ambition when he set off, never dreamed that the state of Chu was not only insincere, but also had the intention of betraying his former allies. Under this premise, naturally unable to talk, the unwilling Lord Shangshu made the last effort, but he was still defeated and lost, and in order to maintain the dignity of the country, he could only leave Shenjing angrily.

Although he left in protest, he felt a little gray and defeated no matter how he looked at it.

'O secretary of the ministry, farewell. My career is over, it's over...... ' while lamenting, while drinking the bitter wine in the cup, as the so-called 'borrowing wine to pour out sorrow is more sorrowful'.

Meng Shangshu sighed there, Wu Yinghou was not having a good time here, although he had a good background and a hard background, he didn't worry about any future. But he really pointed out that this time he made a great contribution, so that his brother, who had been picking his nose and eyes, would look at him differently, this is good, it would be good not to be beaten when he went back. Tilting his head and draining the wine in the glass, it is the so-called 'troublesome heart that messes with me'......

When the 'more sorrowful' and 'more worried' adults were sighing for a long time, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. The two continued to drink disapprovingly, but after not thinking about it for a while, Wu Yinghou's soldiers ran up with a rolling belt, and said with a shocked face: "It's a big deal, big lord, there are assassins......

"Ah......" The 'sorrowful and more sorrowful' adults were startled, and said in a loud voice: "Master Hou, let's hide." ”

'How worried' the adult glared at the fussing soldiers in annoyance, and said in a rough voice: "Are your swords and guns all decorations?" I was scared like this by some thieves! The hand holding the cup did not tremble at all, and he had the demeanor of a brother.

Seeing that his own marquis was calm as usual, and the soldiers also regained their calm, a leader said with shame on his face: "Yes, isn't it just four or five hundred thieves, we have thousands of people!" As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Hou Ye and said, "Please ask Hou Ye to personally supervise the battle and inspire the soldiers to swear to kill the enemy......

only heard a 'pop', and the wine glass in Hou Ye's hand fell to the ground and fell into eight petals. And Hou Ye's hands were also like chicken claws, and he kept trembling.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye......" In the continuous call of the soldiers, Lord Wu Ying Hou recovered from his sluggishness, and said without bending his tongue: "I need to calm down......" As he spoke, he stumbled up, hid in the cabin, closed the door tightly, and a strong voice came from the cabin: "Brothers, hold it off for me!" Resist! ”

Looking at this very comic scene, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, although they knew that the second general had never been on the battlefield, but they always felt that the younger brother of the god of war should at least be a demigod, but they really didn't expect him to be so cowardly.

However, Meng Shangshu barely calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hu, you quickly lead people to organize defense, and this official will press the formation for you!" ”

At this time, it is always good to have a person who has come out, and Captain Hu looked at Meng Shangshu and said in his heart: "Don't just talk and not practice." ’

Meng Shangshu understood Captain Hu's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Don't you help me up?" Only then did Captain Hu know that Lord Shangshu had been so frightened that his legs were weak.

Hurriedly stepped forward to help Lord Shangshu up, and Captain Hu smiled and said, "Why don't you go in and rest too?" ”

Meng Shangshu shook his head slowly and said: "Although this official has never led troops, he also knows that if the chief and deputy envoys are hiding, the morale of this army will plummet." ”

When the soldiers heard this, their morale was really boosted, and they said in their hearts: 'Don't look at Lord Shangshu's white-faced scholar, he is really a little bold!' He no longer took care of his own marquis, and went to prepare his own soldiers.

Qin Lei and his black-clothed guards changed into clippers and chased along the riverbank, and it only took two hours to see the huge ship slowly moving north in the upper reaches of the canal.

At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and it is not a good time to kill people and sell goods, but the black-clothed guards don't care. With a whistle on the clipper in the middle, more than 30 small boats scattered one after another, and soon surrounded the eight-foot tall building ship like a pack of wolves.

Almost as soon as they approached the ship, the black-clad guards pulled the trigger one after another, and flew the spear hooks in their hands, and countless thin and tough ropes were carried out with a roar.

Just listen to the sound of 'aggressiveness', a sound like a woodpecker pecking wood, and hundreds of spear hooks pierced into the sides and stern of the ship. The black-clothed guards did not hesitate to pull the rope, and climbed up with light and agility like apes.

Looking from afar through the moonlight, countless small black dots quickly crawled towards the big boat, and it was as spectacular as a swarm of ants.

Although the ship on this floor is ** zhang high, the lowest deck is only less than two zhang away from the water, which is not easy for the agile black-clothed guards. When the alarmed guards hurriedly stepped forward to block it, most of the black-clothed guards had already climbed onto the boat.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, the soldiers of the Qi State rushed up shouting and shouting. The black-clothed guard, on the other hand, remained silent and stood firmly by the side of the boat, just beckoning his opponent with his repeater...... They are to cover the robes that come up from behind.

Because it was within the territory of the allies, the soldiers of the Qi State did not wait for them, most of them ran out with weapons as soon as they heard the movement, and there were very few people with shields, let alone wearing armor.

It turns out that fighting a war is like having a dinner party, and it is better to dress up neatly. These soldiers of the Qi State, dressed in single clothes and lacking protection, suffered heavy casualties in the dense and prolonged rain of arrows of the black-clothed guards, and could not move an inch, and after a while, they lay down on the ground and were pierced into hedgehogs. The rest of the people also froze, and even retreated directly into the cabin, looking for armor that could withstand the bow and arrow.

This happened everywhere on the ground floor, and it didn't take long for the black-clad guards to climb aboard the boat. Seeing that everyone was on the boat, the team began to greet their respective team members and began to kill the enemies on this level.

The formation of the black-clothed guards has been improved several times, and finally a complete system has been formed, called the 'Mandarin Duck Serial Array', which Qin Lei learned from a cowman named 'Qi Jiguang'. It's a near-perfect battle queue due to its impeccable positional combinations and weaponry. The whole team consisted of eleven people, one of whom was the captain, whose main task was to command the team and adapt to the situation, he stood in the center of the front of the team, and the remaining ten people were divided into two columns and stood behind him.

Although there were only ten men, these ten men were armed with four different weapons and formed five coordinated attack lines, and behind the captain were two shield men with repeaters, who used their shields to cover themselves and their comrades behind them, and launched the attack with repeaters first. This kind of repeater is specially made, very heavy, but powerful, can fire fifty pieces in a row, and the crossbow arrows feed poison, see the blood to seal the throat, is actually the strongest individual killing weapon of the times.

The shield soldier is the wolf soldier standing behind them, the so-called wolf sword, is a special weapon, the shape is very strange, with an iron rod more than two zhang long as the main trunk, the top is covered with iron branches and barbs, and it is pushed forward, as if holding a big pine tree, no one can kill it.

Behind the wolf soldiers are four iron lancers, who are the main attacking force of the team, and when they see the enemy, they use their lance spurs. At the end of the queue, there were two broadswordmen, one with a knife and the other with a crossbow, to prevent the opponent from making a detour and to protect the pikemen from the flanks.

This is a formation without any weaknesses, eleven people cooperate with each other, cover each other, and form a perfect killing formation, even if they are as strong as Le Buyi, they can't break through, they can only look at the wind and sigh.

But this thing has a flaw, that is, it is too big, and it is covered in thorns, which is very difficult to carry. Especially this time, because of the battle in a foreign land, of course, he couldn't swagger through the city with the pine-like wolf slush, so the wolf squirrels did not carry their own standard weapons.

However, this thing is a weapon to protect the team from the enemy's onslaught, as well as to assist the iron lancers to attack the enemy, if it is missing in the formation, not to mention the power is greatly reduced, and it will also make the enemy easily approach, so it is not missing.

Fortunately, Qin Lei lacked everything, but there was no shortage of methods, he saw that there were many bamboos in Chuzhong, so he ordered his subordinates to cut some long and knotty bamboos, install iron spear heads at the top, and iron the thorns on both sides with fire, and then pour tung oil and apply poison. In this way, even if the opponent's knife is sharp, it will not be able to cut the soft branches, and the bamboo knots are deep enough to block the spear from piercing. During the battle, the wolf soldiers rushed forward, the lance soldiers followed closely to the left and right, and the broadsword soldiers followed behind, killing countless enemies and wounding them.

But most of the Qi soldiers are from the land of Yanzhao and Qilu, who are brave and ruthless, and they are not afraid of death. And the Qi ** team is famous for foot combat, accustomed to formation, strict military discipline, after a short period of panic, they re-formed and rushed forward desperately. But before they could take a few steps, many people were shot down by the flying crossbows, and if they were lucky enough to continue to charge, they would be blocked by shields, or hooked by wolves, and the barbs would be pulled a few times, and even if they didn't die, they would lose their skin.

But although this wolf is terrifying, it is not a lethal weapon, and the biggest killing move of the Mandarin Duck Array is a pair of long lance soldiers who follow the wolf soldier. As long as he saw that someone was hung by the wolf, he quickly stepped forward and poked wherever he wanted, and no one cared if he poked out the flower. Even if the Qi people fought back desperately, but there were wolves and shields in front of them, they could only be in a hurry, watching the other party stab, not being stabbed to death, but also being angry.

Facts have once again proved that although technology is not the decisive factor in war, it can indeed greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of an army, and this improvement is directly proportional to the training and morale of the army itself.

The soldiers of the Qi State were not brave, seeing their comrades in front of them trampling to death in this strange military formation, but they still rushed forward and pounced, but they still couldn't shake it.

Blood flew in the night sky, stumps and severed bodies shattered piece by piece, and screams, shouts of killing, and screams shook the sky. Gradually, the Qi army was desperate to find that whether it was blood, stumps, screams or wails, it was all on their own side. The group of well-armed black-clothed men on the other side did not even fall, and even few were injured.

This formation is so powerful and perfect that there is no way to fight back until we understand its structure and mysteries. A day ago, if someone said that the infantry army of the Qin State could slaughter the infantry army of the Qi State, I am afraid that even the people of the Qin State would laugh at him for talking in his sleep. Because in the face of the Qi army, which had strict military discipline and orderly advance and retreat, the Qin State did not have any good way except to use armored cavalry to meet the hard impact.

However, just today, the massacre, one-sided massacre, appeared on the quiet Grand Canal, it was the Qin army that slaughtered the Qi army, and the infantry army slaughtered the infantry army.

History will be rewritten from this moment, and although it will not be until much later that the world will truly realize its terrifying power, looking back at the entire history of the unification of the Three Kingdoms, this bloody and dark night is the starting point of the turning point of history...... Because from this day on, the subtle balance between the three ** teams was finally broken.

Of course, the soldiers of the Qi State who were slaughtered on the warship did not care about their place in history today, they had to think about how to survive...... Yes, it is to live, not to defeat the enemy, because they are desperately aware that, at least today, these terrible enemies are invincible.

Although the Qi soldiers were not afraid of death, they could not accept this helpless slaughter, and finally someone threw down the blades in their hands and scurried around like headless flies, but the entire huge building ship has become a killing Shura field, full of terrifying wolves, sharp iron lances everywhere, and life-threatening arrows everywhere, where can you escape? Where to escape?

Jump! Let's dive! The soldiers threw down their blades and threw themselves out of the boat, and though most of them were landlubbers, they would rather jump into the water that would drown people than accept the fate of being killed in that hell on earth.

But they obviously don't understand the commander of this army, Qin Lei is a guy who either doesn't do it, or he does it. On the speedboat surrounding the building, there were still a sufficient number of crossbowmen, and they leisurely aimed and shot, killing all the Qi troops who jumped into the water.

'Leave no room for life', this is the battle order this time, and it is not a difficult thing for the black-clothed guards who have experienced a hundred battles and have a heart like stone, no matter from which aspect.
