The "dry corpse" on the left nodded to the person on the right, and motioned for himself to be a bait, asking that person to find a way to kill Tang Anshu and get rid of this thorn in his eye.

However, after the "dry corpse" on the left side deliberately appeared, there were no bullets in front of it, and then looked, there was no one over there.

At this time, the "dry corpse" on the right also pulled the bow probe out to observe, and at this moment, a bullet hit him in the distance, directly hitting his head, and at the same time, a dense bullet also hit from Gu Feng's previous position, beating another "dry corpse" to a thousand holes.

Two people were shot, one fell on the suspension bridge and the other fell into the water.

Before they died, the two unlucky guys found out that Tang Anshu and the others didn't move their positions at all, and they hid in their previous positions without any speed, and this just became their psychological blind spot, because the words of Tang Anshu and Gu Feng before, coupled with the practices of ordinary people, made them subconsciously think that Tang Anshu would never appear in the previous position, so they didn't notice it at all.

Tang Anshu put away the gun, took a long breath, slowly slid down against the trunk of the tree, and sat on the ground for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Gu Feng also looked sideways at Tang Anshu and panted slowly, because if one of the two people had reacted a little slower and walked out without urgency, it is estimated that the result would not be like this.

After Tang Anshu came back to his senses completely, he immediately lay on the side of the suspension bridge and looked at the water.

Benzoin looked at Tang Anshu's anxious appearance, and felt very uncomfortable, but helpless.

The three pirates came out of the water one after another, and they all shook their heads at Tang Anshu, indicating that they had not been found.

Tang Anshu hurriedly said: "Keep looking!" ”

Gu Feng looked at the embarrassed appearance of the three pirates, walked towards Tang Anshu, stopped him who was about to enter the water, and just wanted to say something, but saw a strong bow stretched out from the branch next to him, and the sharp arrow on the string was facing him.

At the same time, Tang Anshu and Benzoin also saw that the three pirates in the water had been restrained with daggers by the three "dried corpses" that suddenly appeared.

On the other side, Tang Hualong also aimed around with his gun, and retreated towards Gu Feng's position, because there were "dry corpses" armed with long knives and strong bows standing everywhere in the surrounding trees.

"Tang Anshu." Benzoin couldn't help but approach Tang Anshu, "What should I do?" ”

Tang Anshu comforted her and said: "Don't worry, they won't hurt us, if they wanted our lives, they would have done it a long time ago, and they didn't have to wait until now." ”

Gu Feng glanced at Tang Anshu: "It turns out that there are more than three people in this forest. ”

At this time, Tang Anshu knew that he had miscalculated from the beginning, but he judged that these "dry corpses" must have a leader, and this leader must have a direct connection with Muling Jian, and maybe there will be some kind of connection with the earth master.

"Put the guns down." Tang Anshu said and threw away his pistol.

Gu Feng and Tang Hualong hesitated, and finally did the same, and then several "dry corpses" jumped down from the tree and took away their weapons, while the rest of the "dry corpses" also jumped from the tree one after another and directly into the water.

"Looks like they're going to get the boat up." Tang Anshu looked at the "dried corpses" in the water and were moving away the stones that were pressed into the boat.

But when the rocks were removed and the "dry corpses" lifted the wrecks out of the water, they found that the ship was full of holes.

Tang Anshu and others were very surprised, how did a few boats full of holes cross the lake? At this moment, those "dried corpses" surfaced for ventilation, and then dived again. Because of the relationship between carrying stones and carrying boats, the water was full of mud, and the water was so muddy that it was impossible to see what they were doing underneath.

Soon, black objects appeared on the water, and when everyone saw the thing clearly, they couldn't help but wonder even more, because it was a coffin.

"Coffin!?" Tang Hualong watched in surprise as those "dried corpses" opened the coffin lid, and the way of opening it was very peculiar, it seemed that there was some kind of mechanism on the coffin, and the coffin lid would only be lifted after twisting.

Gu Feng looked at the water: "What does this mean?" ”

"I see." Tang Anshu looked at the coffins in the water and said, "These coffins are the tools for crossing the lake, those boats are a disguise, the poisonous fog in the swamp was to force the people here to despair and not be able to cross the lake, I thought I would find a shipwreck in the water, but it couldn't be used, and in the end I could only die here and become a part of this sea lake." ”

After the "dry corpses" moved the large coffins to the drawbridge, they came forward to tie up Tang Anshu and the others, and then forced them to jump into different giant coffins, and then rowed the giant coffins to the small island in the middle of the lake.

Gu Feng, who was sitting in a huge coffin with Tang Anshu, showed great interest in the coffin he was in at this time: "This is not a coffin, it was originally a boat, right?" I've never seen a coffin of this size. ”

Tang Anshu said: "This is not a ship, it is indeed a coffin, and it is twice as big as the fixed coffin." ”

Gu Feng was puzzled: "What is the coffin?" ”

Tang Anshu explained: "It is a coffin that cannot be moved, and those sarcophagi in the palace of the Yin Mansion belong to the fixed coffin, and this kind of giant coffin is rare." In the southwest generation, in order to prevent tomb robbers, the early coffin openers designed Qimen coffins. ”

Gu Feng was surprised: "Qimen coffin? ”

Tang Anshu said: "First make a giant coffin with green oka wood, carry it to the underground palace, and then drop the giant red sandstone into the giant coffin to chisel out the coffin, and finally put the real coffin into the coffin." ”

Gu Feng said: "Coffin set coffin? ”

Tang Anshu said: "These three coffins are full of organs inside and out, if they are the real craftsmen among the coffin openers, they will also associate the organs in the coffin with the underground palace, so that the tomb robbers have nothing to do, but this kind of precautionary measure is generally worried about being humiliated by the enemy's coffin." ”

Gu Feng suddenly thought of something at this time, and asked in a low voice, "You are not worried about Yexin now?" ”

Tang Anshu said with a smile: "When you stopped me from going into the water before, I suddenly understood. ”

Gu Feng shook his head and said, "It's always the princess's temper." ”

After that, Gu Feng glanced at the rear, even though he knew that Yexin was deliberately hiding under the water and wanted Tang Anshu to be anxious, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, this place was full of dangers, if something really happened to Yexin, the Paper Bodhisattva would not let them leave the range of Yelong Island alive.

But Gu Feng didn't know that the princess Yexin he was worried about was close at hand, just behind the giant coffin he was riding, grabbing the bottom of the giant coffin, and following the captured people to the island in the middle of the lake.

When the Fenghua New Army appeared downstairs in Xicheng, Qiu Gubo couldn't help but sigh that Cai Qianqing's things were like a god, and he immediately sent someone to ride a fast horse to Nancheng Tower to pick up Cai Qianqing, because Xicheng would be the real main battlefield.

At this time, on the upper floor of Nancheng, Cai Qianqing was checking on the wounded, because at dawn, they had just experienced a wave of attacks from birds.

The black crows screamed, flapped their wings and descended from the sky, killing two soldiers in an instant, and the rest of the men, under the command of Senkariko, used torches to force back the crows, and then used dense fire to shoot all the black Grim Reapers, who liked to gather together wherever they were.

Cai Qianqing isolated the dead, the wounded and all those who had come into contact with crows, but unexpectedly, these people did not contract madness.

Qianliguang, who was carrying a rifle on his back, stood there and looked at a wounded man who was carried away: "Fortunately, I am not infected, otherwise the South City Gate would have been breached today." ”

Cai Qianqing said lightly: "It doesn't matter, even if we are infected, we have a cure, Qianyuanbai and Mint have confirmed that the healing method from Snake Heart Island is effective, and some people have been cured." ”

Qianliguang was still sad: "But that method is only a symptom but not a root cause." ”

Cai Qianqing said: "It is estimated that only Hu Shen knows the way to cure the root cause." ”

While the two were discussing, the soldiers sent by Qiu Gubo arrived: "Mr. Cai, the new army of Fenghua has arrived outside Xicheng, Adjutant Qiu, please hurry up." ”

Senaliko asked, "How many?" ”

The soldier replied: "I don't know! However, many boats were parked on both sides of the Fengjiang River, and judging from the number of ships alone, there were at least two companies, and Adjutant Qiu expected that the enemy would have at least one battalion. ”

Cai Qianqing pondered for a moment: "Let's go, go to Xicheng Tower, Brother Qianliguang, please temporarily replace me in Nancheng, if the enemy army comes to attack, remember, unless they want to break through the door and attack the city, they must not fight back." ”

Senaliko nodded: "I see." ”

Outside the west tower of Yongcheng, in the woods on the edge of the Fengjiang River, Chen Bozhong's headquarters has been set up.

After Chen Bozhong, who was in high spirits, walked into the half-bunker and half-tent headquarters, he was very satisfied, looked around, praised the group of sappers with quick hands and feet, and let them go to rest, and then sat on the stone next to him.

Adjutant Ma Xiaotian stepped forward and said worriedly: "Commander, is the command too close to the front line?" It's all already under Fu Guodong's nose? ”

Chen Bozhong disagreed: "Don't worry, this is arranged by the chief of staff, saying that he will take the lead, which is also a way to improve morale, because this is the first battle of our Fenghua New Army, and it is also the first battle after my Chen Bozhong was reborn!" ”

Ma Xiaotian pointed above and said, "Commander, it's already within the range of other people's artillery fire so close." ”

"What cannon can hit here?" Hu Shen appeared at the entrance of the tent, followed by the expressionless Taoist boy.

Chen Bozhong said: "The chief of staff is here. ”

Hu Shen looked at Ma Xiaotian with cold eyes: "Let me ask you, what kind of cannon can hit here?" ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "As long as you set up artillery on top of the city tower, you can easily defeat this place!" ”

Hu Shen walked straight to Ma Xiaotian: "Fu Guodong's subordinates don't have decent artillery, all kinds of mountain artillery, field artillery, and howitzers add up to less than 20, of which field artillery is the majority, only 5 mountain artillery, and only two howitzers, and they are all manufactured by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Hanyang Arsenal in the early years, even if all these 20 cannons are pulled up to the city tower, they will not pose any threat to us." ”

Ma Xiaotian actually didn't understand artillery at all, except for wanting to pat himself on the back to show concern, he was worried about his life.

Hu Shen left Ma Xiaotian, sat on the side and said: "The biggest advantage of this siege battle for us is flexibility, because Fu Guodong's troops are limited, and it is impossible for him to concentrate all his troops and artillery at the West Gate. ”

Ma Xiaotian stiffened: "Why is it impossible?" ”
