Chapter 122: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

"The river is so big, how can you have so many boats to block?" Regarding Lin Yue's suggestion, Wang Huaipeng felt a little puzzled: "And even if it is blocked, it may not be able to trap the water monster." ”

"No, it's not to trap the monsters by blocking the river." Lin Yue shook his head and said, "We really don't have so many boats to block the entire river, but we can still roughly arrange a sentry line on the river surface when we disperse, and we can observe whether the water monsters have left this water." After the lockdown, we can spare some time to prepare enough equipment, and now it is difficult for the two of us to kill it completely with a knife. ”

Wang Huaipeng pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Yue suspiciously, and asked, "Are you sure this is feasible?" Obviously, Wang Huaipeng advocates individual strength and does not have much confidence in the strength of the team.

Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, don't forget, this water area is the territory of our Yuan Kingdom, how could I allow such a monster to exist in our national territory that may harm my people at any time." ”

After hearing this, Wang Huaipeng nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, we really can't kill it now." ”

Smiling, Lin Yue started the motor boat and drove towards a dock not far away.

After seeing the boat that had been suspended on the surface of the water leave, the monster swam away in another direction after turning around the spot a few times.

As soon as Lin Yue arrived at the wharf, he immediately used the radio there to notify the wharf farthest upstream and the farthest wharf downstream, asking them to send boats out of there and set up a sentry line on the river.

For the appearance of the water monster, it must be solved as soon as possible, so Lin Yue wants to use the sentry line to observe the actions of the water monster, and this sentry line will not be set up and down, and some ships need to be sent to arrange the two docks on the left and right from this place where Lin Yue is.

The ships sent out will not be that big, because the target is large, and it is easy to be attacked by the water monster, and the ships sent out will be that kind of small boat, every two ships are responsible for observing an area, once they encounter the water monster, they will immediately evacuate, and they will definitely not be more than thirty meters away from the water monster.

As soon as the water monster appears in the area where the ship is located, it will immediately separate a ship to notify you. And through this information, Lin Yue at the dock can roughly know where the water monster is located in the Yuan River.

For the water monster, Lin Yue can guess at least a few pieces of information, first, the eyesight should not be very good, this water monster's eye structure is similar to that of a snake, so it is a little difficult to detect distant and stationary objects. This point can be seen from the fight with the water monster just now, Lin Yue can almost see it.

Second, the water monster has already suffered a certain amount of damage, although Lin Yue and Wang Huaipeng couldn't get this guy when they were fighting in the water just now, it doesn't mean that it is still intact, and the knife marks left by Lin Yue, Wang Huaipeng and Shan Qingzi on it are not decorations.

Thirdly, the water snake is now in a state of starvation. It can be seen from the time the water monster attacks the docks that it is already hungry, otherwise it would not have run to land to attack humans. It is estimated that due to the long-term hunting of the Yuan River by the Yuan Kingdom and other forces, the fish in the Yuan River have been greatly reduced, and the difficulty of the water monster to hunt has been a lot greater, and the human dock has been moving in and out of a large number of objects, which naturally caused the attack of the water monster.

Almost guessed these three points, Lin Yue had a way to deal with the water monster, he first set up a sentry line on the river to find out the location of the water monster, and then organized an army and a large number of trebuchets in a better position, as well as a variety of penetrating bows and crossbows. Then use the food to attract the monster to the pre-arranged position, and once the monster eats the food, several large nets arranged in that position will restrain the monster.

While a normal fishing net may not be able to trap the monster, it can trap it for a few minutes, and in those few minutes, the trebuchet and the Great Bow are enough to give him a deadly wave of attacks. In the end, even if these attacks were not enough to kill him, Lin Yue and Wang Huaipeng would definitely be able to kill him if they attacked again.

About three hours later, at a pocket-shaped shore on the north bank of the Yuan River, Zhao Longtao led a battalion to ambush here, this entire battalion is a heavy crossbow battalion, as soon as the water monster appears and is restrained, the sky will shoot out the bow and arrow, shooting the water monster into a sieve.

The Heavy Crossbow Camp is not only for the shooting of bows and arrows, but also for the operation of trebuchets. This batch of trebuchets was actually the one that was made very early, and it was rarely used after it was used in that Yancheng war. Although these trebuchets were destined to be obsolete when gunpowder and heavy artillery were developed, they still play a large role now.

The trebuchet can play a great role when attacking large monsters, but only if it forms a fixed target, and like the previous attack on the giant bear, this time it must be restrained in order to successfully hit the water monster.

And if you want to restrain the water monster, the most important thing is the fishing net, there are many fishing nets here at Yuancheng Wharf, but just one must be easily torn, so dozens of fishing nets must be laid. In addition, hundreds or thousands of people need to be deployed to pull these fishing nets, otherwise those nets will not have much binding force on the water monsters.

These hundreds and thousands of people were temporarily recruited by Lin Yue from the Xuanwu District of Yuancheng near the Yuan River, and all they had to do was to pull the fishing nets together when the water monster was hooked, and bind the water monster to death.

After everyone had been ambushed, a soldier of a special operations company drove a motor boat and wandered around the place where the monster had last appeared, dragging a net behind the boat, which contained a batch of fish, all of which had been cut several times, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the water.

The type of water monster can be said to be somewhat similar to that of snakes, so the sense of smell on its tongue must also be very developed, and the smell of blood in the river will definitely attract it.

However, after the boat circled around the water a few times, the huge body of the water monster began to float on the surface of the water and swam in a straight line in the direction of the boat. As soon as the soldiers of the special operations company on the boat saw that the water monster had been successfully attracted, they immediately drove the boat towards the pocket-shaped riverbank terrain.

Naturally, the water monster that was deeply attracted by the smell of blood would not let its prey run away like this, and immediately chased after the boat and swam quickly. The monster swam fast in the water, but the speed of the boat was not bad, and it kept a distance from one after the other, and soon reached the pocket-shaped terrain.

Upon arrival, the soldier of the Special Operations Company threw the bait into the nets that had already been arranged, and then drove the boat away in the other direction, and his mission was accomplished.

When the water monster reached the pocket-shaped terrain, it naturally only stared at the big net fish, and did not pay attention to the boat that left at all. With its mouth wide open, and ignoring the fact that the fish were wrapped in fishing nets, the water monster swallowed it directly.

"Pull!" Lin Yue on the bank of the river saw that the water monster was already in a trap, and immediately took the wheat and ordered all the personnel to pull the fishing net through the audio.

When the people with the fishing net ropes heard the order, they didn't care about anything, and just pulled the ropes and ran in the direction they needed to go. Immediately afterwards, a large net in the surface of the river shrank, completely enveloping the water monster.

"Roar!" The water monster was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the large net, and its swaying body revealed a strong uneasiness, and immediately struggled desperately to break free. The monster's struggle caused many of the people on the land to be dragged forward by the rope, but they quickly balanced their strength and continued to pull back. The strength of nearly a thousand people gathered is not small, and even the water monsters can only struggle in place.

"Launch!" Zhao Longtao, who was in ambush, saw that it was almost there, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start firing bows and arrows, and a heavy crossbow immediately exerted its powerful role, and the long-range, high-damage, and large-range attacks instantly fell on the water monster's body, and it was shot into a hedgehog in a few seconds.

After only two rounds of fire, the trebuchet will start to wield its power, and the huge stone will suddenly widen the wound of the bow and arrow, causing more damage to the water monster.
