Chapter 214: Temptation or Underestimation
In the evening, 5,000 ships lit up candles one after another, and the night sky was full of stars, reflecting on the surface of the lake, red and white contrasting with each other, which was spectacular.
In the center of the ship array, on a large ship that captured the clear sky of the North Island, there were five people standing in the wind, all of whom were the leaders of the three forces.
Gong Xiyue held her forehead with her hands, brushed a strand of naughty long brown hair behind her ear, and looked at a big boat left behind the clear sky of the North Island on the shore, her red lips opened lightly, and she said: "Five thousand boats have all entered Jingjin Lake, and they should go ashore next." ”
Yoshishige Nitta nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave to give the order to land.
"Wait, I think something is wrong." Su Bingyun's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, his jade hand caressed his chin, and he opened his mouth to stop him.
Hearing this, Nitta Yoshishige stopped and glanced back at Gong Xiyue, Gong Xiyue nodded slightly, and Nitta Yoshishige did not leave.
"What's wrong?" Gong Xiyue blinked her eyes and asked.
"Don't you think our trip is too easy?" Su Bingyun glanced around at the four of them and asked rhetorically.
"It's too quiet, it's exactly the same as last time." Yan Huo'er looked at the shore of Jingjin Lake from afar, and couldn't help but think of the tragic battle that had taken place there three years ago.
In that battle, Huoyun Jia Jingliu was almost completely wiped out, and only eighteen brothers remained. At this time, I can't help but feel that time passes, and the years go by, as if I am in a different world.
"Quiet? That's because Kitajima Clear Sky felt scared when he saw so many of us, hiding in the bottom of the maze and shivering, right? "Yoshishige Nitta had never experienced that battle, and it was inevitable that he would despise his opponent a little in his heart.
The other four didn't pay attention to Nitta Yoshishige, and they thought he was talking nonsense.
Seeing that the four of them were silent, Nitta Yoshishige laughed awkwardly, and then closed his mouth.
"Do you remember the battle of the Five Poison Mountains?" Su Bingyun asked.
Su Bingyun asked Gong Xiyue with this word, but Gong Xiyue was a little difficult to answer because of her status as the Empress of Heaven in front of Xintian Yizhong, Yan Lengfeng said a word at this time, which was considered to be a relief from the siege.
"Remember, what do you mean?"
"The clear sky of the North Island is the Qianyi sent to Jin Xianxiu back then, and the Iga Flying Bear is the Yan Yunxing of the year, and we are still the same as we were back then." The "we" that Su Bingyun said referred to himself and Gong Xiyue, who were both coalition forces at that time, although Gong Xiyue later joined the camp of the Five Poisons Sect, after all, they were all members of the coalition army at the beginning, and they all fell for Yan Yunxing's scheme to close the door and beat the dogs.
"But the decoy of the North Island Clear Sky is obviously not good enough." Yan Huo'er came back to her senses at this time and whispered.
Su Bingyun nodded slightly, although she knew that this was the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, but there seemed to be no way to deal with it.
Gong Xiyue thought for a while, frowned slightly and said, "I think you all think too much." ”
As soon as Nitta Yoshishige heard that his Heavenly Empress was finally standing on his own position, he immediately spoke: "That's it, they must have been stupid by my Akita Castle army, so I said......"
Nitta Yoshishige hadn't finished his sentence, but found that Gong Xiyue's eyes were staring at him coldly, and he instantly wilted, but he still muttered in a low voice: "I'll just say that you are too careful......"
"Kitajima Clear Sky's way of sending people to death doesn't seem like a plan to lure the enemy deeper, you think about it, since they know that we must attack Mt. Fuji, then why do they have to make such a senseless sacrifice? It is obvious that this is redundant, and it will only waste twenty great ships in vain, sacrificing so many people in vain. Gong Xiyue expressed her opinion.
"You're right, Iga Flying Bear is obviously not an idiot, as one of the prestigious Seven Heroes of Genji, he can't do such a stupid thing that harms himself and others." Yan Lengfeng emphasized the identity of Iga Flying Bear, the top general under Yuan Laichao, the most mysterious and war-ready general.
"And why is he?" Yan Huo'er pondered for a long time, but couldn't understand it.
At this time, Su Bingyun suddenly slapped his head, and suddenly said, "Do you think he will deliberately lose these ships to achieve the goal of making us underestimate the enemy?" ”
"Underestimating the enemy? That's a reasonable reason, but we've already attacked Lake Shojin, and we only have one foot left, so no matter how much we underestimate the enemy, what kind of tricks can he use against us? Yan Huo'er asked.
Several people were silent, unable to figure out the purpose of Iga Feixiong's move.
Silence, the silence on the bow of the ship was a little terrifying, Nitta Yoshishige really couldn't stand this group of mothers-in-law and mother-in-law who were as timid as rats of the Celestial Empire, so he only heard him cough lightly, breaking the silent deadlock.
"My lord, do you want to give the order to attack?" Nitta Yoshige asked in the face of Gong Xiyue, but his heart was silent, a small Mount Fuji and a small Iga flying bear can make you think so much, your Celestial Dynasty people's brains are really big!
"Wait a minute, let me ask you first, do you check the water every time you enter the Five Lakes?" Su Bingyun suddenly asked such a question at this time.
"Of course it will, there is nothing at all, and even if there is, we let go of so many ships for them to chisel, how much can they chisel?" Nitta Yoshihiro was respectful, but he was very disdainful in his heart.
"What about after entering Lake Shoji and the North Island Clear Sky Battle?" Su Bingyun directly ignored the second half of Nitta Yoshishige's sentence.
"This ...... That's not it.,How can I have time.,I'll drive here directly after the fight.,I said, Mishin-sama.,Even if they have an ambush underwater.,Nothing can be done about us.。 Yoshishige Nitta emphasized again.
Su Bingyun no longer talked to Nitta Yoshishige at this time, but turned to face Gong Xiyue and the others, and said: "If what the Heavenly Empress said is correct, then the strategy of Kitajima Clear Sky to deliberately fail to make us have the heart of the enemy obviously worked, we ignored the small actions underwater, but we don't know what he can do underwater?" ”
Yan Lengfeng and the others all lowered their heads and thought about it, thinking about what action Iga Feixiong would make, but Nitta Yoshishige was a little impatient, only to see him wave his hand, his expression was slightly unhappy, and he muttered: "What do you want to do, don't say that there is no movement underwater, even if there is, we won't have ...... when we go ashore."
"Boom, boom, ......" Nitta Yoshishige hadn't finished his sentence, and the entire ship formation suddenly shook violently, and Su Bingyun hurriedly spoke: "General Nitta, quickly send someone into the water to see what the situation is?" ”
Nitta Yoshishige secretly screamed in his heart at this time, obviously the situation that these Celestial Empire people were worried about had happened, but he still didn't take the shaking just now to heart, and always thought that there was a water ghost scuttling the boat.
"Yes, I'll go." Nitta Yoshishige was about to turn around and leave, but he heard a dull sound of "boom", but this time it was much closer than the one just now.
Su Bingyun heard this loud noise, discerned the direction, and then spoke: "It's too late, let's go check it out for ourselves, the first sound is on the south bank, the second sound is around us, everyone scatter to see what the enemy is using." ”
After Su Bingyun finished speaking, he took up the light work, his two little feet tiptoed, and he disappeared from the sight of several people in the blink of an eye, Yan Huo'er and the others glanced at each other, and they also ran around the ship formation.
......A dull crash came from under the water, and the whole ship formation shook violently with the impact, and the 100,000 soldiers looked at each other, and then picked up their swords and guns, raised their torches, and lay on the edge of the boat to look at the black lake.
"Is there a brother who is a little better in the water, go down and see what happened?" To the west of the ship formation, Su Bingyun quietly appeared behind a group of soldiers and spoke.
When the group of soldiers heard this, they hurriedly raised their long knives and turned around, and when they saw the people who came, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a small commander, the long knife returned to the sheath and saluted respectfully, bowed his head and replied: "Lord Heavenly Fairy, I have sent people down, but I haven't seen them come up for a long time, and I don't know what happened below." ”
Su Bingyun nodded slightly, and was about to probe the bow of the boat to take a closer look, but suddenly there was another violent shaking, this time it was really heard, obviously under the boat.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......" This time it was no longer a dull sound of "boom", Su Bingyun could obviously feel that the bottom of the boat seemed to be grabbed by some huge object, and after the hull of the ship stabilized slightly, he hurriedly looked down, but he still didn't find anything, and the soldiers who launched the water still didn't move at all.
Just when Su Bingyun was puzzled, the crew of the cabin ran up wet, and when they saw Su Bingyun here, they hurriedly said, "Oh no, Lord Heavenly Fairy, the bottom of our ship is in the water!" ”
"Don't panic, what's the situation, tell me in detail." Su Bingyun said coldly.
"The enemy didn't know what kind of large mechanism was arranged under the water, and the mechanism kept hitting the bottom of the ship's bilge, and just now it actually broke through a hole, and then suddenly an iron rod the thickness of a water tank stretched out from the bottom of the water, and inserted it into the cabin along the big hole, and the iron rod did not know how to change, but it turned into a huge steel claw, hooking our ship and dragging it down......"
Before the crew could finish speaking, the hull of the ship shook violently, and Su Bingyun could clearly feel that the hull of the ship had dropped a lot into the water.
"What the hell? Could it be a cuttlefish boat? Su Bingyun suddenly remembered the story of the cuttlefish boat that Yan Huo'er had told her at this time, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unlikely, the cuttlefish boat manufacturing in Quanzhou was a top secret in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the one in Jingtian Zhenxi was only stolen before, how could Dongying have such high-end technology?
Just as Su Bingyun lowered his head and pondered, several commanders came running from several nearby ships in the distance, and they all said with anxious expressions: "My lord, our ship has been attacked by strange claws!" ”
"My lord, so is our ship!"
"Adult ......"
"Okay, I know, you wait where you are, don't panic, and make a decision after I discuss it with the other adults." After Su Bingyun finished speaking, he hurriedly flew away, jumped vertically, and a white shadow danced in the moonlight, and in less than a moment, he returned to the center of the ship formation.
At this time, Gong Xiyue was wandering anxiously at the bow of the boat, and as soon as she saw Su Bingyun's figure, she hurriedly asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”
"It's hard to say, I came along the way, and found that out of every dozen ships, one was destroyed by steel claws, and it is not clear what it is." Su Bingyun flew along the way, and naturally remembered the ship with a clear downward trend in draft.
"Could it be a cuttlefish boat?" Gong Xiyue asked.
"You guessed it, it's a cuttlefish boat, and besides, it's a large cuttlefish boat!"
