Located near the mouth of the Liaodong Peninsula, Beibu Gulf is the most important gateway for foreign coastal defense in Beijing.

Especially in the current situation, the strategic location of the Beibu Gulf is very sensitive, because it has the role of coastal defense and the other is the grain and grass checkpoint.

At present, the war in the north is fierce, and the grain and grass from all over the country are continuously transported to the three provinces of Liaodong, which is like a trickle, which becomes a huge wave after gathering in the three eastern provinces, and becomes a strong backing for the grain and grass of the defenders.

However, once the Beibu Gulf is in the hands of the enemy, it will directly endanger the Three Eyes County of Liaodong Province, and no matter how any Central Plains transports troops to transport grain and grass into the three eastern provinces, they must pass through the Three Eyes County, and once the Three Eyes County has a problem, the defenders of the Northeast Pass will be like being choked by someone.

Knowing this, the three fat men knew how much responsibility they had on their shoulders for this trip.

This time, Lin Ruoli led 10,000 troops, and the fat man and Mingzhong Dao each led 3,000 crossbowmen and rushed to the Beibu Gulf at a very fast speed.

The night is hideous, and the cold wind is like a ghost.

Even though it is night, you can still see that the clouds in the sky are dead gray.

Coupled with the vicious waves stirred up by the sea, there seems to be a sense of slaughter between heaven and earth.

The official defenders of the Beibu Gulf are very few, only a few hundred people, and the NPC is a weak county, after all, the Central Plains mainland has always been smooth, and before the war in the north happened, this is an ordinary foreign port, so after the fat man issued the token of the general of Dingbei, the county did not say much, and put the brigade into the harbor.

The harbor is in the shape of a large crescent. Recessed in the direction of land, this is an easy position to defend from the perspective of war, and it is very suitable for defense.

Lin Ruoli's arrangement of troops also shows her delicate side as a woman, the landing line of the port is lined with 8,000 shieldmen, the landing stairs up are all bows and crossbows, and the Pingchuan above the stairs is the main camp of the Jinghualou army, and the main camp is all hidden in the mountain rocks, and the horses and soldiers are hidden.

In this way, the port is still the same port. But if someone storms, the port will soon become a man-eating trap.

Don't underestimate Lin Ruo's less than 20,000 troops from this area, if the coalition army really has someone attacking from the sea, even 50,000 people will not be enough.

The main tent was lit with a lonely lamp, Lin Ruoli and Mingzhongdao did not rest, both of them knew that they should be more vigilant in the middle of the night.

"Lili, you don't seem to be very comfortable?" Mingzhongdao stared at Lin Ruoli, and she found that Lin Ruoli's right eye had been jumping tonight. And it jumped hard.

She has worked with Lin Ruoli for a long time, and she knows that Lin Ruoli looks very charming on the outside, but in fact, when it comes to a critical time, Lin Ruoli's resilience is stronger than anyone else.

"Sister Dao, we've been waiting for two days, and there's still no movement in Haiphong." Lin Ruoli did not answer her directly.

Ming Zhongdao smiled: "You don't think it's the judgment of the martial brother, right?" ”

Lin Ruoli also smiled. As long as she mentioned Zhang He, she couldn't help laughing, but this time she smiled a little reluctantly: "I never doubted him, but I ......"

She wanted to speak and stopped, but Mingzhongdao stared at her and said, "But what? ”

Lin Ruoli said: "I just think it's been too quiet in the past two days, and it's not normal!" ”

This means that the knife in the tea understands. It's the darkness before dawn, the silence before the great war, and those who have been on the battlefield have this natural keen intuition.

"Boom" a muffled thunder rolled through, and the sky that had been covered with dark clouds for two days finally began to rain, and the bean-like rain hit the tent, making people's mood indescribably urgent.

It's not just the rain that's hurrying. There are also the sound of people's footsteps.

Sure enough, a soldier hurriedly rushed into the big tent, his face a little flustered: "Report--"

Lin Ruoli and Mingzhongdao glanced at each other: Something happened.

The soldier said: "Report to the two generals, I just received the news that the magistrate was killed at home!" Lin Ruoli's eyes jumped like pins and needles, but she was still very calm, and she gave the most accurate order in an instant: "Go, inform the mad general to return to the main camp." The whole army has strengthened its vigilance. ”

She glanced at the knife again: "Let's go together!" ”

Mingzhongdao didn't say anything, picked up the erhu she was used to and walked out.

NPC county magistrate name Lin Sheng, is a cloth cloth, the dynasty went to Beijing to catch the exam one year, nominated for the gold list, originally beautiful and upright, the future is unlimited, helpless to be upright, regard the people as parents, and discord with the current government leaders, and inadvertently offend the court dignitaries, as a result, was squeezed out, reduced to the Beibu Gulf to serve as the magistrate.

said to be the magistrate, in fact, it is equivalent to a small dock officer, managing this small fishing bay.

Lin Sheng lived a hard life, and the place where he lived was a fisherman's house behind the wharf, and Lin Ruoli had a good impression of him when the army arrived.

In reality, if there were officials like Lin Sheng, maybe there would not be so many players who would have invested in the dynasty.

At this moment, the dilapidated fishermen's wooden houses have been surrounded by soldiers, and there are many fishermen crying softly on the periphery.

Seeing this scene, Mingzhongdao's originally anxious mood also became very heavy.

Lin Sheng was lying on the bed, his eyes were wide open, he seemed to be surprised before he died, his eyes were full of fear, maybe he didn't expect someone to kill him at all.

Life is hard, and there is nothing to be done, why did he give birth to such a poisonous hand as a cloth scholar?

Mingzhong Dao looked around and said, "The person who came entered vertically from the skylight, hit it directly, and quickly performed light skills to fly away after succeeding." ”

What she said, Lin Ruoli didn't seem to hear a word.

Lin Ruoli just stared at Lin Sheng's corpse, her eyes were a little distracted, to be precise, her pupils were constantly contracting.

Following her gaze, Mingzhongdao found that Lin Sheng's corpse was indeed a little strange, Lin Sheng was lying crookedly on the bed, that is to say, Lin Sheng was awakened by the sound of the skylight, and sat up all of a sudden, unfortunately he was poisoned as soon as he sat up, so it caused the body to be crooked.

But the strangest thing was the fatal wound of the corpse, the wound was in the chest, and there were two blood marks on the chest, definitely not the kind of thin-edged sword, but a blunt blow, like two pieces of bamboo embedded in the heart, and the chest was already concave.

"This skill is really not weak, but what kind of weapon caused this wound?" The knife in the tea is puzzled.

Lin Ruoli said lightly: "This is a kind of extremely dangerous weapon strike to death. ”

"Oh?" Mingzhong Dao asked curiously, "What weapon?" ”

Lin Ruoli immediately became expressionless: "It's my weapon!" ”

Mingzhong Dao was suddenly struck by lightning, and he was speechless all of a sudden.

However, if you look closely, this is indeed a scar caused by the dragon and phoenix double ring.

Lin Ruoli said: "And this move is still my 'Dragon Xiang Phoenix Dance Flying Hands', and the skill of this move is even stronger than mine." ”

Mingzhong Dao said: "There are many people who can dance with dragons and phoenixes, but there are not many people who can dance with dragons and phoenixes." ”

"Not much, indeed!" Lin Ruoli replied, "And people with higher skills than me in this move can almost be said to be rare." ”

Mingzhong Dao said: "You must know each other, right?" ”

Lin Ruoli stopped talking, Mingzhong Dao immediately understood, this murderer Lin Ruoli not only knew, but also was probably an unexpected person, this person should never have appeared here, but now he is here.

What is he here for? The answer is also obvious, it is for their more than 10,000 troops in Jinghualou, otherwise, Lin Sheng will never give his life in vain.

But these questions are not important, the key point is that this person actually touched here without knowing it, how did he come here? Did you really sneak in from the sea? ..., Lin Ruoli looked at the corpse and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

The NPC guards immediately walked in: "General Lin! ”

Lin Ruoli said: "Go, notify the crazy general, pass on my order, the whole army retreats, retreat 30 miles to the west, and the three armies will be stationed in Tianjue Peak!" ”

Ming Zhongdao looked at her in surprise, at such a critical moment, she actually chose to retreat and abandon Beibu Gulf.

Mingzhongdao really couldn't figure out what Lin Ruoli thought? But she didn't ask, after all, the boss of the army this time was Lin Ruoli, and she said that if she wanted to withdraw, she had to withdraw, and no one could stop her.

At this moment, on the sea, ten huge ships are lined up, each of which is brightly lit, looking like the ghost eyes of monsters on the sea from a distance.

And when you get closer, you realize that these ships are amazingly large, each one is almost like a giant battleship, not only is it well-constructed, but there are also guns at both ends.

The main ship is even more magnificent, like a big dragon swimming in the deep sea, the ship has a Taishi chair, there is a person sitting on the chair, holding a white fan, wearing a high crown, a generation of military advisors, gently shaking the feather fan, this is none other than the thirteen elders of the Sun Moon God Sect who encountered outside Shanghai at the beginning.

Of course, the person standing next to him with a giant axe was Ouyang Ba, Zhang He and Lin Ruoli had suffered a big loss at the hands of these two people when they were fighting for the Night Streamer Sword.

Thirteen young people will always be so chic, it is true that his chic style of shaking a fan in the winter cannot be compared with Mr. Jun's chic, Mr. Jun is truly free and detached, he is called pretending to be presentable.

A Demon Sect disciple rushed to the deck: "Elder, there is movement in the Beibu Bay. ”

Thirteen Shao hurriedly put away the fan: "How is the situation?" ”

The disciple said: "Lin Ruoli has withdrawn!" ”

"What?" Thirteen Shao turned his head in surprise: "You said that the woman surnamed Lin retreated?" ”

The disciple said, "Exactly! ”

Thirteen Shao couldn't believe his ears, so he hurriedly asked, "In which direction did you retreat?" ”

The disciple said: "Retreating towards the west, it seems to be in the direction of the Heavenly Peak. ”

Thirteen Shaodao: "Have you seen the number of their army clearly?" ”

The disciple said: "It rained heavily overnight, and they ran away in the dark overnight, and our people couldn't see clearly, so they really didn't dare to come forward." ”

Thirteen Shao was so angry that he slapped his thigh: "Damn, this bitch surnamed Lin is so cunning, there is a kind of running away at dawn, what kind of hero is this?" ”

Ouyang Ba next to him coughed dryly: "People are originally women, not men." ”

Thirteen Shao glanced at him, turned his head and said, "Pass the order, and the whole army will attack the Beibu Gulf." ”

"Yes—"
