Chapter 169: Crossing the River
Tonight's Qianqidu seems to be no different from the previous few days, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the river, coating Qishui with a beautiful silver halo.
The fire on the river was the fleet of the Izumo rebels. They also rotated, sleeping all day during the day, and being extra energetic at night, beating the war drums so loudly that the fish in the river were scurrying around.
But the Snake Camp on the North Shore was accustomed to the sound of these war drums, and still slept peacefully. Because on the shore of the north bank of Qishui, an army of about 10,000 snake people is lining up with lights, confronting the fleet on the water.
"Do it now?"
On the observation corner of the big camp, the little medicine fairy looked at the surface fleet and said softly. The dim flickering firelight hit her face, full of calm.
I shook my head and said, "Wait, wait until it's almost dawn, and then do it." ”
As a result, there was silence again in the watchtower. I stood side by side with the little medicine fairy, quietly watching the night of Qianqidu, looking at the fleet of boats cruising on the river, looking at the 10,000 snake people lined up with torches on the shore, and looking at the quiet snake camp.
I don't know how long it took, I was a little sleepy, I reached out and yawned, and looked up, only to see that the bright moon in the sky finally sank into the fog of the Mengmeng River.
"It's time......"
I perked up, turned my head to look at the little doctor fairy, and said in a deep voice: "Little fairy doctor, you have to be careful, don't be careless." ”
"Okay."
She had a white veil on her face, nodded slightly, and then jumped out of the corner tower, and before the person landed, there were light wings condensed from behind her, and she flew towards the river.
I took a deep look at her back and turned to descend the corner tower. At this time, Qilin had also received the news and came from the big tent with many generals.
At the same time, a military order was transmitted, and the entire snake camp was suddenly on fire, and all the snake soldiers were woken up from their sleep and began to assemble quickly.
"The Poison Sect Master made a move?"
Qi Lin asked in a deep voice, I nodded, and went out of the camp with them, and came to the small earthen bag a few days ago, looking at Qi Shui.
The fleet above the water had not yet noticed anything wrong, and was still cruising slowly. It's just that I didn't find out where the little doctor was?
Presumably already in the water?
The plan this time was simple, nothing more than to go shallow to the upper reaches of the fleet, and then take out a large vat of fire oil from the Na Ring and pour it out.
Fire oil is lighter than water, and they will float to the surface on their own, and then float downstream to the fleet, driven by the current.
Finally, light another fire.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, flames appeared above the bright Qi water, and under the blowing of the river breeze, they quickly spread downstream, turning into a sea of fire in an instant!
The Izumo rebel fleet, which finally sensed that something was wrong, let out a chaotic exclamation.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
There was a lookout who hissed and exclaimed, but he didn't know where the enemy was, but no one cared about the enemy anymore.
What could be more deadly than this sea of fire?
The captains of the ships began to shout loudly, eager for everyone to paddle so that the ships could leave the sea of fire as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, the fleet, which was still in relatively good shape, began to be chaotic, and one ship after another fled in all directions, and many ships even collided directly with each other.
"Huhuhu......"
In the blink of an eye, the sea of fire spread for miles along the oil and burned ships. Although these ships were painted with special paint, which would not burn out for a while and a half, it still caused the entire fleet to panic and completely lose its combat effectiveness.
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the intense light of the fire even stretched for miles, shining on the north shore and on my face.
In the bright light of the fire, which was as bright as the rising sun, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and a bright smile appeared.
"Bang!"
A loud bang suddenly rang out, even drowning out the noise of the entire river.
Then countless crew members saw the scene that shocked them. In the middle of the fleet, a huge crack appeared in the middle of the flagship of the building, which was still trying to command the fleet!
The calm Qi Shui suddenly turned into a hideous giant snake, and countless rivers poured into the cracks, dragging this huge building boat, which could carry hundreds of people, into Qi Shui little by little.
"Your Excellency, as a strong fighting king, actually attacked me, doesn't you have a little dignity of a strong man?!"
The bow of the flagship was tilted, and at some point an old man with gray hair appeared. He exuded the aura of fighting spirit all around him, and he lowered his head and shouted angrily into the water.
Does the poisoner have the dignity of a strong man?
Does the little doctor fairy care about these false names?
I don't know either of these answers. But then, the little doctor told me with her actions - she struck again, smashing a larger ship nearby.
Seeing this, the old general was so angry that he raised his head to the sky and shouted, and called all the big fighters of the entire fleet, and they all condensed the armor of fighting qi and jumped into the water.
There were flames burning on the water, but protected by the armor of Fighting Qi, these ordinary flames could not harm them at all. Under the command of the old general, they began to besiege and kill the little medicine fairy.
Above the water, a sea of fire was raging, and the fierce light of the fire lit up half of the sky, and dozens of ships scrambled to flee the waters.
Beneath the surface of the water, there is also an undercurrent, and a hunt is unfolding.
……
……
There was also a rush of soldiers on the north shore, and the 10,000 snake men who had been lining up on the shore all night were removed and replaced by another 10,000 snake men.
It's just that they are destined to only play supporting roles, because the 10,000 snake people who were carefully selected as early as last night, took advantage of the cover of the thick night, walked more than 20 miles upstream, and finally hid in the dense forest.
When the Oriental Fish vomited white and the heralds of the beggar arrived with military orders, the elite of the 10,000 snake people walked out of the dense forest, came to a flat beach by the river, and took out the raft in the ring.
There are many snakes, and there are also many rafts, more than 2,000 pieces. Suddenly, this small river beach seemed to be small.
Under the command of a captain, tens of thousands of snake people rushed into the water one after another, like a herd of migrating wildebeests, and rowed towards the opposite bank on a raft.
These rafts are extremely rudimentary, and these snake people can't hold boats at all, so from time to time snake people fall into the water, and from time to time the raft overturns.
But it doesn't matter at all, because there are so many rafts. The snake man fell overboard, and the raft that followed him was able to pull him up at once.
It doesn't matter if the raft overturns, it's not a boat, there is no front and back at all, you can continue rowing if you climb up.
In this way, they rowed towards the south bank of Qishui, and were naturally spotted by a patrol of Izumo rebel horsemen.
The captain of the waiting team looked at the dense raft floating on the water, and was stunned at first, and then his eyes lost their luster forever.
Because a javelin pierced his chest.
When he fell off his horse, a snake man rushed out of the grass on the side, and in the midst of the fighting spirit, it turned out to be a strong fighting spirit.
He was armed with a spear, and in the flickering cold, no one in the entire waiting squad survived.
