Chapter 1888: The Water Army Assembles
In the next few days, the prince of Nanwang realized what it means to be like a bamboo. Wherever the army passed, the army of the Godless Palace fled, and the Absolute Godless and the others never showed up since they fled Yaocheng, and the originally imagined difficult trip to regain the lost land was almost simpler and smoother than the original incident and the entry into the Forbidden City.
However, this is not good news for Richard, although the battle of Yaocheng caused Absolute God and Mingdong to lose a lot of Yaksha Luo and Dongying players, but it is far from reaching the point of heavy losses, and it is not even a broken muscle. The living power of the Godless Palace is still there, and they still have the ability to stir up the wind and rain.
The Absolute God was obviously aware of this, which is why he retreated so decisively. Jiangnan is just a springboard for him to point at Chang'an, and now that this springboard can't go up, then retreat and find another opportunity. The situation in the Great Sui will only become more and more chaotic in the future, as long as you watch from the sidelines, you can always find an opportunity to enter the Great Sui.
"If this continues, it will be easy to regain the lost territory, and it will be difficult to fight the living forces of the Godless Palace. It is necessary to give the godless head attack in that small city in advance, and we can't let them return to Dongying so comfortably..."
A thought flashed in Richard's heart, and he clamped the horse under him with his legs, and rode from the middle of the army to the front of the army, and found the two of them, Blood Cliff and Demon Wudao.
"There is no cliff in blood, there is no way in the devil, you come here, I have something to tell you."
The two looked at each other with a puzzled expression, but they still stopped their horses and waited for Richard to arrive. Richard rode to them, spoke his thoughts, and said:
"It is difficult to pose a threat to the army of the Godless Palace with the current manpower in the small city alone, the magic sword of the two of you is the nemesis of the old king of the godless eight immortal golden body, I want you to rush to the small city now and meet the old Tsundere. We'll slow down the march to make sure you have plenty of time to arrive. ”
Blood Cliff and Demon Wudao glanced at each other, and the two nodded at the same time, pulling the reins in their hands and turning to leave in the opposite direction to the direction in which the army was advancing. Seeing this scene, the prince of Nanwang couldn't help but ride a horse to Richard, and asked curiously: "Brother Simon, Brother Blood and Brother Demon... Where is this going? ”
"Small town."
………………………
In the small city where Ao Wuchang and Kou Zhong and the others were.
At this time, the only wharf in the small town was full of all kinds of warships, from ships to building ships, sudden, bridges, and ships.
It is the main ship in the navy, covered with raw cow skin, with good defensive performance, and crossbow windows and spear holes on both sides, which have good combat ability whether it is far or near. At the same time, the ship is powered by oars, which is extremely fast on the water, has high maneuverability, and can advance and retreat freely.
The building ship, like the ship, is a large warship. The deck building of the building ship is particularly huge, the ship is high and wide, and the appearance is like a building, which can be attacked from a distance and in close combat. The bow is slightly smaller than the building ship, and the shape is more like the ancient large ships often seen in museums in the real world, with sails and ingots.
The Turbulence and the Bridge Boat are two kinds of small warships, the Turbulence is very sturdy and good at ramming, and the Jiangnan Navy has installed spikes on the bow in order to give full play to its characteristics.
Although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were born in Yangzhou City, it was the first time they had seen so many warships, and since the Jiangnan Navy came, the two of them had been on the dock all day long, and they couldn't wait to live on the boat when they looked like they.
A Yin Sect elder came to the dock, and when he saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling standing next to a ship, staring at the ship with burning eyes, he walked over quickly and said softly: "Young Marshal, the Blood Cliff and the Demon Void are here." ”
The title of young marshal was originally given to him by the people in Pingzi Pass, praising him for taking command of the expedition at a young age, and later this title gradually spread, and the Yin faction also changed their words to call Kou Zhong the young marshal.
Hearing this, Kou Zhong retracted his gaze, glanced at Xu Ziling, and said curiously: "How could the predecessors of the Blood Cliff and the Demon Wudao come here, they can't stay in Hangzhou City?" ”
Xu Ziling said with a smile: "Just go and see it." ”
Kou Zhong nodded, and the three of them turned to leave the docks and returned to their quarters. When I came to the hall of my residence, I saw Ao Wuchang, Mo Taichong and Dongfang Weiming talking with Blood Wuya and Demon Wudao in the hall, and when they saw Kou Zhong, Ao Wuchang laughed and said, "Young Marshal, come and see the reinforcements sent by your master." ”
Kou Zhong's face suddenly flashed with a hint of helplessness, since Ao Wuchang and the others knew his title of young marshal, they often used these two words to make fun of him.
He looked at Ao Wuchang and smiled bitterly: "Proud senior, I can't afford to be this young marshal, you still call me Kou Zhong." ”
Arrogant Impermanence laughed faster when he heard this, what he wanted was Kou Zhong's reaction. These two people were not originally well-behaved masters, but they had great respect for Richard, a cheap master, and watching a person who didn't pay attention to etiquette observe etiquette was simply the most interesting thing in the world.
Dongfang Weiming stood up and whispered to Kou Zhong: "The boss wants to stop the gods here, and have a good fight with them." Therefore, let the Blood Cliff and the Demon Wudao come over first, and he and the stuffy gourd and the army of the Southern King and the Prince of the South will chase and intercept them behind the back. ”
Kou Zhong's face immediately became serious, and he nodded and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it." Let the navy send bridges to patrol the sea, and once you find the army of the godless palace, attack immediately! ”
Dongfang Weiming smiled and said, "You don't need to be so nervous, now the army of the Godless Palace should have just retreated to the coastal area, and it will take a few days to come over." Take advantage of these few days to train the navy. ”
The arrogant impermanence on the side smiled and said: "Grinding the gun in battle, it is not bright, but it is also light." ”
Kou Zhong immediately glanced at him helplessly, can't this arrogant senior say something nice, it's just that, he can say that he is grinding his gun in battle, instead of temporarily holding on to Buddha's feet.
At the same time, within a city along the coast.
The Godless Palace suddenly put on an unprecedented defensive posture in this city, desperately defending the army of the Southern Prince, dragging the army for several hours. When the army entered the city, they found that the other people of the Godless Palace had already run away in boats, and not only that, but before leaving, they also destroyed all the other boats on the dock, even the fishing boats where the common people went out to sea to fish.
Looking at the broken wooden planks floating on the water and the wreckage of the ship, Nanwang Shizi stood on the dock and trembled with anger, "These Dongying widows are really despicable and shameless!" ”
Richard was much calmer by comparison, and if it were him, he would do the same.
"Shizi, let's think about what to do now. In my opinion, we should gather all our horses together, and send a part of the vanguard to the nearest coastal city, and use the ships in the city to pursue the army of the Absolute Shrine. ”
Nanwang Shizi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Brother Ximen is reasonable." Someone, give me orders! ”
