I managed to infiltrate the town of Kawague with a small detachment of Stygian Harbor and set fires everywhere to cause chaos among the town's defenders. On the other side, the diving death squad led by the water demon also took advantage of the chaos and scuttled through several Yin Army warships. At this point, the most important strategic goal of the night raid plan I have developed has been achieved.

But then, the water demon and other daredevils were in a predicament, and they were suppressed under the water by the Yin army's arrows like arrows, and there was nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but wave my hands and shout anxiously, "Let's drive the boat over and save them!" ”

But none of the ten speedboats in the harbor obeyed my orders, and the sailors all turned their heads to look at me in horror.

Sandao hurriedly said to me: "Hong Kong Lord, if you go over at this time, not only will you not be able to save the water demons, but I'm afraid even we will have to get in!" ”

"Do you just watch them die?" I angrily scolded, "You coward, those are our comrades! ”

Sandao lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. But Tietou still said: "Hong Kong lord, Sandao is right." The water demon gave me a few words before I came, but it told me to wait until it had completed its mission before telling you. The water demon actually knew that this shipbuilding plan was very risky, and it was very likely that there would be no return, but it still obeyed your orders without hesitation. ”

"It tells you: if it's trapped and can't escape, don't save it! It also said that if you can meet a boss like you, let it get out of slavery, and entrust it with a heavy responsibility, and die for your confidant, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death! ”

The Water Demon and the Iron Head are both ghost slaves I bought from the Giant Waterfall City back then, and they have followed me since I drove the Victory to the ship, and they have long been my old subordinates. The relationship between the two of them is also the most iron, and if the water demon wants to explain the future in advance, he must tell the iron head first.

But I was still unwilling, and slapped the side of the boat hatefully, and shouted angrily: "I don't care! If I say save, save! Have you not listened to my orders? ”

When the iron head saw that I was furious, he did not dare to speak again. At my urging, my sailors finally rowed their oars and headed for the harbor.

At this moment, a burst of shouting and scolding suddenly erupted from the port. I looked up and saw a dark figure swimming out from under the flagship of the Marshal of the Night Tour, as fast as a dolphin shuttling underwater.

"Shoot it! Don't let it run! ”

"The ship in front of it stops it, can't let it run out of the port area!"

"Huh? Where did the speedboats outside the harbor come from, and were they enemy ships? ”

"It must be the enemy ship that is here to meet these water ghosts, and we will quickly send a speedboat to chase it!"

The Yin Army's speedboat finally set out, closing in from several directions to block the path of the underwater black shadow, and kept shooting arrows and throwing ghost fireballs underwater. A few other speedboats rushed straight out of the harbor in an attempt to stop me from rescuing the water monsters.

Although I have ten speedboats on my side, there are very few sailors on board, only three in each, only enough for rowing, and if we fight, we will definitely suffer. At this time, I also regained some sanity a little, and asked my subordinates to give up the five ships and concentrate the sailors on the remaining five, otherwise let alone fight, I am afraid that I will not even be able to run later.

But suddenly the situation changed again, and the sturdy underwater shadow was very nimble enough to dodge all the arrows that had been shot into the water, and then unexpectedly ascended, burrowing under several of the Yin Army speedboats that were trying to stop me.

"It's coming to scuttle our ship again!"

"Shoot it! Shoot it! ”

"Oops! Our ship is in the water, and the ship is sinking! ”

The soldiers of the Yin Army on those speedboats suddenly became scrambling, and they didn't even row the oars, only thinking about saving themselves. While they were in a mess, the black shadow under the water turned over and jumped onto a speedboat, and with a wave of the short knife in his hand, he killed three Yin Army soldiers and kicked three more into the water at once.

"It's a water demon! It got the ship! Iron Head shouted happily.

I and the other Stygian sailors cheered excitedly, chanting the name of the water demon together. But Sandao frowned and said, "It's the only one left with itself, what kind of boat do you want, dive and escape!" ”

At this time, the water demon also turned around and shouted at us from a distance: "Hong Kong lord! You go first, they won't catch me!" ”

I also realized that now our five Stygian Harbor speedboats have not only failed to save the water demons, but have become a burden. With the diving speed that the water demon showed just now, the Yin Army couldn't help it at all. The reason why the water demon appeared was to warn us and let us go first.

"Turn around! Go back to the cliff where the water demon went into the water before and assemble! "I immediately corrected the order I had given earlier.

At this time, the speedboats that the Yin army came out to pursue several ships were already out of order, and no one thought of continuing to chase us. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the water demon immediately jumped hard, preparing to jump into the water again to escape.

"Whoosh!"

A powerful sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, which made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

"Ahh

Immediately after the sound of breaking the wind, there was a miserable scream, the voice of the water demon!

I hurriedly turned my head to see that the water monster's body had just jumped into the air and was shattered before it could enter the water, and when a large hole was made in its chest, an arrow pierced into the water from in front of it. It was a cold arrow from behind the water demon, killing it instantly!

The spirit of the water demon began to dissipate, and there was still a frightened expression on its broken face, and its hand was extended to point at us, as if urging us to move quickly. The next moment, it turned into black smoke and disappeared on the dim surface of the water.

I looked angrily in the direction the arrow was fired, and the person who fired the arrow must have been on the flagship of the Yin Army. Marshal Night Tour stood at the bow of the ship with a gloomy face, and a longbow in his hand was held high and still unlowered, as if it had been deliberately placed for me to see. Although he is indecisive in leading troops, he is superb in cultivation, skilled in martial arts, and even more unique in archery. This arrow must have been shot by him!

When the marshal saw me looking at him, he glared at me as well, and the two of them looked at each other angrily. Tonight, of course, I lost 50-meter diving masters such as the water demon, but the loss of the Yin army was even greater. All the warships they borrowed from the Great Waterfall City were scuttled through the bottom of the ship, and three sank on the spot, and several more were so badly damaged that they would definitely not be able to fight in the short term.

Without these warships, the Marshal of Night Tour, who had estimated that the tactics of advancing by water and advancing by water, which had been carefully planned, would have to be in vain. I'm leading the Stygian Navy to take the plunge tonight, at least to achieve the strategic objectives I want.

"Let's go!" I turned back resolutely, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of my eyes, and ordered in a deep voice. At this time, no matter how angry and reluctant you are in your heart, you must retreat.

The Yin army was too busy to take care of itself in the panic, and the speed and technology of the ship were not as good as the Stygian Harbor Naval Army, so they barely chased after them for a while, and when they entered the Stygian Sea, they gave up. I returned to Hades Harbor with the remaining five speedboats and thirty sailors.

The Yin army had no warships, and it was no longer able to attack the harbor from the Stygian Sea, so it could only attack by land. A few days later, the overland trail guarded by Shichiro himself ushered in a retaliatory onslaught from the Yin army. Obviously, Marshal Night Tour, in a fit of rage, brazenly invested most of the main forces of the Yin Army to attack the Stygian Harbor Army in turn. Among them, hundreds of canine cavalry exerted great impact, often using only one or two collective charges to break the defense line of the harbor.

Therefore, although the army led by Shichiro set up ambushes along the way and continued to carry out ambush warfare, it still could not withstand the onslaught of the Yin army, and retreated one after another, and the defense line was only a few miles away from the land gate of the harbor.

As a last resort, I also dispatched half of the sailors, and then temporarily recruited a group of militiamen to personally lead the team to the trail to reinforce the trail, which finally temporarily recovered the decline and stabilized the situation.

But then after some discussion, several major generals of the Stygian Coalition Army believed that the Yin army had gradually adapted to the terrain in the trail, and that our side had lost the advantage of continuing to fight guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare, and that it would be even more disadvantageous for us to continue to move the front forward in this way, and the next step would be to retreat to the city wall and hold on.

However, at this moment, a variable suddenly appeared: Shichiro's eyeliner planted in the Yin Army finally found a way to get in touch with him and passed on a lot of very valuable information!

The first piece of information was fired into the Stygian Coalition with an arrow. Shichiro handed me the arrow, and the arrow was round, and one of the feathers was black, so I couldn't really see it if I didn't take it in my hand and look closely.

"This arrow was fired at me from a distance when the Yin army was retreating. But it was so weak that I could easily grab it, and then I noticed something strange about it. Shichiro explained. He then plucked the arrow feathers out and pulled out a thin roll of paper from the hollow tail of the shaft, not much thicker than a toothpick.

Shichiro spread out the scroll and saw that there was only a line of small characters written on the water. He casually said: "The siege equipment has arrived in the army, be sure to destroy it first!" ”

"Shhh

Hearing this, everyone present gasped. The Yin army is now only using infantry and canine cavalry to attack in turn, and the Stygian Harbor coalition already feels very difficult to defend, if it uses large-scale siege equipment, even if the Stygian Harbor coalition retreats behind the city wall, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist.

"What to do? Are we still going to go back as planned? Lu Zhidao asked.

"Can't be returned!" Before Qilang and I could express their opinions, Wu Fang first raised an objection: "Once we are attacked by the Yin army under the city wall, we will definitely not be able to defend it." As the intelligence says, those siege engines must be destroyed first! ”

"How to destroy? Now that the Yin army is gaining momentum, it is impossible for us to counterattack to their rear! Wang Shou said a little deflated.

At this time, Liu Han, who was standing beside me, suddenly took a step forward and said, "Otherwise, tonight we will send cat cavalry to attack their military camp and burn all those siege equipment!" ”
