Chapter 102: The Dead Silence of Yanluo Island
There is no need for Lu Sheng to explain what the magnetic field is, the rotation of the earth or something, just talk about Qiankun Yin and Yang, and He Qiaosheng will immediately be able to make up the Yin and Yang theory corresponding to the compass. Even on the small magnetic needle in front of him, He Qiaosheng seemed to see the truth and faith.
"Yuzhu, Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a high attainment in Qimen Mathematics, and you discovered the truth of heaven and earth from small objects. Now that we have a magnetic needle to point us in the right direction, these fifty miles of fog should be like nothing.
General Shi, can you be sure that the sailors will surround you on all sides and completely exterminate the pirates of Yanluo Island?"
"Don't worry, my lord, the last general will lay a net from heaven and earth, and he will definitely wipe out such pirates!" Shi Wei patted his chest and promised.
Lu Sheng didn't have to be involved in this war, but since it was related to the theft of official silver, Lu Sheng naturally went with the army. Soldiers are fast and fast, which is useful in any world.
The battle strategy was immediately formulated, and Shi Wei ordered the Qiantang Water Division to start immediately. Originally, it was thought that the battlefield two hundred miles away would take at least three or four days to arrive. But I didn't want to, so it only took one afternoon and another night.
The next morning, when the sun rose over the sea, Shi Wei's Qiantang sailor had already arrived at the periphery of the mist. Even, dozens of warships had already arrived at their designated positions, waiting for Shi Wei's order to march towards Yanluo Island together.
Entering the mist, Lu Sheng finally understood how powerful this natural protection was. The fog obscures not only the sight, but even the sound. Being in the fog is like being outside the world.
Even Duan Fei, who was standing beside him, Lu Sheng couldn't really see it.
"Left Rudder Five, Right Rudder Two"
Shi Wei kept staring at the compass, constantly ordering his soldiers to adjust the direction of the warship.
In such an environment, it's easy to get lost in time. I don't know how long it took, but the fog in front of me suddenly thinned. In the white depths, an illusory outline gradually became clear.
Like a prehistoric beast, the warship burst out of the fog and arrived at the outskirts of Yanluo Island as if it had traveled through time and space. In the center of the fog, about a mile from Yanluo Island, Yanluo Island floats and sinks in the water like a giant beast.
"What a good place!" Lu Sheng looked back at the fog protective layer, "If one day in the future, I want to find a place where no one lives, I will definitely come here." β
"I'm afraid Brother Lu's wish will not come true. Duan Fei smiled faintly, "Such a natural treasure, how can it be left alone, if Yanluo Island is used as a military fortress, you can sit back and relax on the East China Sea." They've arrived, too!"
Duan Fei suddenly pointed in the distance, followed Duan Fei's fingers, and sure enough, there were seven or eight big ships in the distance that broke through the fog almost at the same time. Each large ship is a few hundred meters away, and if you look down from the sky, the center of the fog seems to turn into a huge dial.
Yanluo Island is the center of the dial, and the Qiantang Shui Shi is the scale on the dial. When all the ships arrived at the designated place as planned, the war drums suddenly rang violently.
"Raise the battle flag, the net of heaven and earthβ"
Knock Knock Knock β
At that moment, Lu Sheng's heartbeat seemed to dance violently with the sound of the drum, and his whole soul trembled in the drum.
Not because of fear, but because of excitement.
It's like being awakened to a stirring passion.
Lu Sheng finally understood why there must be war drums on the ancient battlefield. In addition to conveying the general's orders, it is also to boost morale and stimulate enthusiasm.
The drums of war rose, the wind swept away, and the sea, which had just been calm, suddenly became furious.
Lu Sheng's figure flashed to the bow of the boat, looking at the boiling sea and feeling a little overwhelmed.
This is not martial arts...... This is martial arts again. This is the transformation of heaven and earth caused by martial arts, but it is completely different from the martial arts in Lu Sheng's impression.
Lu Sheng already knew that the martial arts in the army were different from the martial arts in the rivers and lakes that Lu Sheng saw, but he only knew the difference, and he had no idea of the real difference.
And at this moment, looking at the stormy wind and waves in the entire encirclement, Lu Sheng even suspected that this was not martial arts at all, but an immortal method.
The whole sea was dancing, and the big ships suddenly raised battle flags, and when the battle flags were raised, pillars of light rose into the sky. It was as if the sparkling waves of space distortion rippled away.
With each warship as a node, they are connected in series to form a closed net. This is the real encirclement, the real net of heaven and earth. Lu Sheng is sure that even if he breaks through, he can only break through by force. Because, there really isn't a gap.
"How's it going, isn't it?" Duan Fei said as he came behind Lu Sheng with a smile on his face, "This is the military formation, the military formation that really uses the formation map."
Qiantang Water Division, in the armies of the Yu Dynasty, he can't even rank his name. But how does it compare to those masters of the rivers and lakes? Which master dares to try the edge of this net?"
Lu Sheng didn't answer, but he had the answer in his heart.
Originally, Lu Sheng thought that an innate master like him would be easy to slaughter an army of 1,000 people. But now, he felt that if it was three hundred troops, he might kneel.
It's not that the martial arts level of the military system is too much higher than that of the Jianghu martial arts, but the essential difference between the two.
There are many people, and there is great power. This is undeniably true.
The military formation perfectly solves the conversion between quantity and quality. No matter how earth-shattering the characters are, there is an upper limit to their strength after all. As long as the number of armies exceeds this limit, they can win.
Jianghu martial arts is a person's martial arts. Martial arts in the army is everyone's martial arts, and the starting point is different.
For example, to trigger the vision of heaven and earth, Lu Sheng knew that as long as he cultivated to the innate realm, he could do it. It was Lu Sheng at this moment, and his power was urging with all his strength, and the sword qi in the surrounding range of ten zhang was vertical and horizontal.
However, to be as spectacular as the one in front of him, even if Lu Sheng is suffocated to death, he can't hold it back. But with the blessing of the military array, an ordinary, or even low-rate army, can condense a vision of heaven and earth that surpasses the innate master.
The vision of heaven and earth is not just for pretending, it also represents a terrible destructive force.
Thinking of the current situation of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, Lu Sheng suddenly felt very ridiculous, shouting one by one with a sword in his hand, and shouting one by one for the righteousness of Tianxingdao. thinks he is the protagonist of heaven and earth, an example of justice, and looks like a guide to the court and the world.
But I don't know that the court just doesn't want to deal with you, not that I can't do anything about you.
The invisible distortion becomes substantial as the encirclement shrinks. Under such a siege, even if the pirates on Yanluo Island were really fishermen, they could not escape back into the sea.
At this moment, it is less than half a mile away from Yanluo Island, even if the Qiantang Sailor comes suddenly, it should have attracted the attention of the pirates at this moment.
However, Yanluo Island is quiet.
The army is approaching, and the momentum is moving, even if the pirates on Yanluo Island are deaf and blind, then they should be vigilant.
However, the whole island seemed to be silent, and there was no movement.
The warships closed and gradually converged on the shore. There was no pirate rush to meet him, no one ran in a panic, and not even a single figure or a seabird was not startled.
Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, and Yanluo Dao's reaction was a little abnormal. The warships docked, and the battle flags were arrayed.
Originally, Lu Sheng was supposed to stay on the ship, and the landing operation was completed by Fei Lingwei. But the extraordinarily dead silence of Yanluo Island made Lu Sheng's heart faintly uneasy.
Although the battle array is strong, for some reason Lu Sheng's heart is always a little unsteady. In the end, Lu Sheng still decided to act with Duan Fei and them. Of course, with Lu Sheng's strength, Duan Fei could not refuse.
Lu Sheng jumped onto Yanluo Island with Fei Lingwei, and the landing place was full of reefs. In the midst of the crashing waves, several shrimp and crabs fluttered and jumped among the reefs.
Duan Fei picked up the layout map drawn by the secret agent of Ouchi, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, "Mistaken, right? The terrain is obviously wrong." β
"But the location is right, it's just that the shape of the island is really different. Lu Sheng looked at the map and said in a deep voice, "Yanluo Island is shaped like butterfly wings, but on the map, it looks like a fan." Such an obvious difference would not be impossible for the Ouchi secret agent to see. β
"So...... Are we in the wrong place?" Duan Fei's words suddenly made the faces of the Fei Lingwei extremely ugly.
This kind of low-level mistake of finding the wrong place has not happened since the establishment of Feilingwei. Since the founding of the Yu Dynasty, there has not been a time when the army has gone to the place and found that it was wrong.
"It's not wrong, the area shown on the map is indeed here, nearly 100 nautical miles nearby, and there are no other islands except Yanluo Island. Let's go up and have a look first, if we find the wrong place, it's not a vain trip, at least the value of Yanluo Island itself is much higher than that of pirates, isn't it?"
Going deep alone is Fei Lingwei's forte. After forming a team, five people are used as combat units to alternately advance and cover. Even if you encounter an attack suddenly, you can make a defensive counterattack as soon as possible.
Crossing the reef belt, Duan Fei suddenly ordered Fei Lingwei to pause. In the field of vision, a continuous stream of houses appeared.
Although it was like a silent ink painting, Duan Fei's face still showed joy. Yanluo Island is different from the indication on the map, but if there are houses, it means that there are people, and if there are people, it can confirm Lu Sheng's speculation.
Before Lu Sheng made the compass, no one but the fishermen could pass through this mist belt. And if there were people who lived on Yanluo Island before them, then that group of people must be fishermen.
Putting away his mind, Duan Fei motioned for Fei Lingwei to slowly approach.
The army is coming, and the momentum is moving, and it is impossible for the fishermen to go unnoticed. And now it's so deadly silent, either they've already moved, or they're hiding or even preparing for an ambush and sneak attack.
Everyone held their breath, and the tension before the battle spread invisibly. The housing area is getting closer and closer, but it still hasn't moved like a ghost town.
"Ka-" Suddenly, a crisp sound sounded.
Fei Lingwei's movements were all in unison.
One of the flying guards raised his feet in surprise, and at his feet, a leg bone appeared in front of everyone's eyes in the soft sand.
Fei Lingwei looked at each other, and the man picked up his waist knife and dug it under his feet. A corpse that had almost turned into bones appeared in front of everyone's eyes. And with his excavation, there was not only one corpse under his feet.
