Section 21 Large-scale Development
The attack of the officers and soldiers is fierce and ruthless, in the pouring rain, the eight-ox crossbow that is placed in a closed small house is full of power, countless water thieves are screaming and running in all directions, there is nothing to do about the invading officers and soldiers, the heavy rain soaks the bowstring, can not pull the bow, there is no way to fight back, the same is true of the leather cord on the trebuchet, several bandits drove a small fire boat to burn the fleet of the officers and soldiers, every way to go, the boat was drenched by the heavy rain, in the water and sky, not to mention burning people, burning themselves can not do. They can only be shot one by one by the officers and soldiers with strong crossbows in the raging lake.
"Abandon the first water village, retreat three miles, and avoid the enemy's edge." Liu Fang's orders continued to be passed out, but there were not many that could be carried out, those people brought by the cold rut were unruly, and it was not appropriate for Liu Fang's orders at all, only those young bandits faithfully accepted the order, and led their subordinates to let go of the water thieves who were in a hurry to go out, and slowly retreated to their own second water village.
"Childe, one, three, seven, twelve, four teams of men and horses killed their own defenses, brazenly attacked the official army, this is a trap, is to send death, Childe, please Gongzi order them to turn back, if it is too late, it will be too late to regret it, the official warship has approached in a circle, and the head water village can't stop their giant boat, please give an order."
Seeing that the situation was no longer under his control, Liu Fang could only kneel on one knee and ask Han Zhe to give an order, he would not obey orders, and he had already lost more than half of the battle before he fought.
Han Zhe chuckled and said: "It's okay, let's just watch, the officers and soldiers are just testing, the heavy rain also has an impact on them, even if there is a dry bowstring before the attack, it should be wet at this time, there are many of us, some dead and wounded are nothing, let's see." It's good that they can take the initiative. ”
Liu Fang was stunned for a moment, immediately closed his mouth, and accompanied Han Zhe on the high platform to look at the battle in the distance, and saw it in vain, the silver water curtain would block the view, and only the shouting of the water thieves could be heard, but the officers and soldiers were silent, except for the occasional war drums, no one called, which was more than shouting and fighting. It's even more depressing.
Seeing that the first water village was already crowded with thief ships, a white-bearded veteran on the official warship nodded, and said to the other generals: "It's okay." The rain is about to stop, so throw in the oil. Burn these people. Let's go back, the Hou Ye didn't allow us to kill all the water thieves, saying that it was of great use, and it would be boring to kill too many enemies like this. ”
With the sound of a low drum, the trebuchet on the official ship was fully activated. The tarpaulin was uncovered, and the soldiers quickly placed the canisters of fire oil in the basket, and in an instant, countless canisters were thrown onto the fence of the water village and smashed to pieces. There are also some cans that have fallen over the fence and fallen on the dock, black fire oil mixed with rain water flows everywhere, and it is common sense that fools know that the stupid actions of the officers and soldiers have attracted countless laughs, and even the cold ruts are smiling.
When the ignited fireball was thrown into the water wall, the officers and soldiers ignored the results. Immediately set sail away, leaving behind a sea of fire......
The cold eyes were as cold as water, Liu Fang lowered his head and sighed, the other water thieves were all frightened and helpless, the rain became smaller, became like fog and smoke, the fireball fell into the water village, the fire burned, the first water village has become hell, there is no way to hide, there is no way to hide, the lake is burning violently, the thick black smoke covers the sky and the sun, it is pressed down by the wind in the sky, it is permeated on the lake, the rolling black smoke, countless heart-rending coughing sounds come out, which makes people worry.
"Mr. Han, do you know where the officers and soldiers got so much fierce fire oil? I heard that this thing is only available overseas, and it is worth a lot of money to transport it to Datang thousands of miles away, why does Yun Ye have so much? ”
"The old slave doesn't know, it seems that today, the heavy rain still has a curbing effect on the power of the fire oil, but the lethality of these thick smoke is still strong, and it is very different from the fierce fire oil that the old slave saw."
Han Zhe nodded, and waited for the strong wind to blow away the smoke, then pointed to Shuizhai and said helplessly: "Those four people are not suitable to be commanders, you better choose a few from the others and let them be your deputies." ”
Liu was expressionless, sent away the cold rut, and immediately began to prepare for the rescue, the lake fluctuated very much, and soon a large area of oily sewage surface was impacted, and only the flames were burning in the water village, but the wooden fence of the water village was still blazing.
There were a lot of dead bodies floating on the water, the water thieves used hooks to salvage the corpses and pile them up on the dock, the four blue-clothed men who led the army to assault, kept pointing at the corpses and saying something, their expressions were very natural, without the slightest embarrassment, when the fire just started, they jumped into the boat and left in a hurry, as for how many people died, they didn't care.
Water thieves are also people, seeing so many companions dead, even if there was no love in the past, at this time there is also a feeling of the death of a rabbit and a fox and a sad thing, and when he sees the whip in his hand, he dares to be angry and dare not speak. I had to bow my head and continue to clean up the corpses and tow away the damaged boat.
Liu Fang came over with four young water thieves and said to the four blue-clothed men: "Chuan Gongzi order, you and the other four will attack lightly, remove the commander, and replace them with Chen Jia, and you will be at the disposal as deputy generals." “
The man in blue was stunned for a moment and wanted to be angry, but when he heard that it was Gongzi's order, he casually arched his hand, and even if he heard it, the water thieves who were cleaning the battlefield changed their expressions and continued to work, and the four young water thieves ignored the departing man in blue, and commanded his subordinates to speed up the cleanup.
A defeat on the battlefield, Han Zhe didn't care, he was in the cave to check the preparation process of the angry face corpse, Sanfengzi is now like a handicraft, placed on the stone table, naked from top to bottom, all the hair on the body has been shaved, the toned body, painted with shiny tung oil, showing a bronze beauty, someone is holding a bucket of putty mixed with oil, slowly smoothing the wound area, until there is no scar to see the scar.
Han Zhe grabbed a handful of gold powder and tried the feel, it was not bad, it was very fine, and with fish glue, he could apply the gold dust to the corpse, and then put on his clothes, make it into a cross-knee shape and send it to Yun Ye.
Han Zhe looked at the corpse, and suddenly remembered an allusion about Yun Ye on the Jade Mountain, Wei Zheng went to Yun Mansion, Yun Ye was not polite, but just asked the housekeeper to send the soup, not enthusiastic, when Wei Zheng said that he came on the order of the emperor, Yun Ye had to order the housekeeper to boil tea and send it up, when he heard Wei Zheng say that this time he came to the old woman of the Yun family to be crowned, he immediately smiled, ordered someone to open nine banquets, and personally cooked the best tea to entertain Wei Zheng. Yun Ye said: It's a big difference, it's a big difference.
At the beginning, he just wanted to kill Yun Ye, but he didn't expect that until now, he didn't get any cheapness, but suffered a big loss, so he had to keep raising Yun Ye's identity, so that he was now on an equal footing with himself. This approach is similar to Yun Ye's allusion to entertaining Wei Zheng. Han Zhe thought it was funny, he and Yun Ye were too similar, if it weren't for the damn Bai Yujing, the two of them would be friends, what a fun thing it would be to scourge this flower world together.
The heavy rain stopped for a moment, and then began to pour endlessly, as if the heavenly river had leaked, and the scattered flames on the wooden fence finally could not resist the raging rain, and gradually extinguished, and after a puff of green smoke, it was completely annihilated.
The young leader of the water thieves, naked, led the water thieves to brave the heavy rain to repair the camp, although the work was hard, they did not cry out for bitterness, only thought about building these life-saving fortifications.
Junshan, this is a good place, the Yun family has long planned to plant tea here, the climate here is humid, warm, cloudy and rainy fog, it is the most ideal place for tea planting, the Yun family is not short of tea now, only lack of high-quality tea, Yun Ye said that Junshan is a place to grow good tea, Liu Fang of course believes that docks, docks, residences, warehouses, and flat ground are all needed in the future, and filling up the lagoon is also a proper meaning, after all, there are too many mosquitoes in the lagoon.
The water thieves have no opinion on Liu Fang's command, after all, every job is to make their lives more comfortable, since they have filled up the lagoon, there are a lot fewer mosquitoes on the island at once, and it is no longer the kind of situation where you need to cover your face with a thin veil at night, and the food is also improving, the military advisor said that the farmland must be leveled on the island, and after catching the farmers from Yuezhou in the future, let them farm on the island and grow food for everyone to eat, in case the army of the imperial court blocks the big lake, and they and others will not starve to death.
Liu Fang did all these things and fell into the eyes of Han Zhe, he didn't understand very much, Mr. Han Da is also a rare wise man, why is he so stupid to run this desert island? The imperial court can seal the lake, don't you know to capture this island? The advantage of the thief is that he is erratic, so that the government cannot guard against it, it is useless to do so, it is simply putting a shackle on himself, which can only be described as a profit and wisdom, but this is good, an ambitious subordinate is not a bad thing.
Some old thieves even secretly reclaimed a small piece of land for themselves, hoping that the leader could reward this place to themselves, for such a thing, Liu Fang was even more encouraged, and swore to those old thieves that as long as Jun Mountain was still in his hands, whoever reclaimed these lands would belong to him, nothing to say.
Yuezhou is cultivating land on a large scale, and the water thieves are also leveling the land in full swing, although everyone knows that a big war is imminent, people on both sides are preparing for their future.
After Yun Ye heard about this, he strictly ordered the Lingnan sailors not to destroy it anymore, it was all their own industry, and it was themselves who broke it and lost it. (To be continued......)
