Chapter 64: Confrontation
Yang Zhi kept handing over the new weapon patterns to Tang Long, and then Tang Long also kept handing over the weapon samples to Yang Zhi.
Design, Manufacture, Test, Improve, Retest, Mass Production, Education, Application, Redesign......
New weapons are constantly being equipped with the armed forces of Liangshan cottage. Infantry, horsemen, archers, sailors, every team has a new look.
"Barbed Gun", "Tribulus Gun", "Nine-Shot Repeating Crossbow", "Jiao Shark Dagger", and of course, Tang Long's original "Iron Fist" and "Flying Lotus Hammer".
In the army, after Lin Chong and Lin Niangzi understood the use of new weapons, they taught them to the captains of the Flying Bears and the Flying Tigers one by one, and then continued to teach the soldiers. The Liangshan Church covers the sky all day long, and the heroes of each team are scrambling to show no weakness.
However, the three Nguyen brothers led a group of soldiers who were originally fishing and excellent in the water, chiseled target boats in the water, killed dummies, and practiced underwater combat tactics.
Other garrison, security, and logistics personnel also performed their own responsibilities and united as one, and more than 100 sergeants on and off the mountain acted as if they were one person, and the leaders pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan.
However, the magistrate of Yuncheng County lost contact with Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, the two heads of the infantry and horse soldiers, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and lost a charge to Song Jiang because of a murder case, and when there was nothing to be done, Jeju was forced by the imperial court to urge the "Shengchengang" case to send He Tao, an arrest envoy from Sandu, to supervise and observe the investigation of this major case. He Tao got a tip-off report that Baozheng Chaogai of Dongxizhuang was suspected of committing a major crime and that a cadre with whom he had a close personal relationship on weekdays was suspected of committing a major crime, and he also got the news from the Guandao Guanyi, and a few months ago, a group of strange people had gone to the boundary of Shuibo Liangshan in Yuncheng, and their whereabouts were unknown. He Tao inquired that Liangshan was the place where the strongmen haunted and occupied the mountain as the king, so he didn't dare to slack off, ordered 3,000 horsemen, and collected a few official ships, and marched all the way to Shuibo Liangshan.
There were sentinels on Liangshan's side who had already detected the turmoil in the imperial palace and reported it to Zhu Gui, the director of intelligence. Zhu Gui knew that the dispatch of the officers and soldiers was not trivial, so he reported it to the leaders of Liangshan Cottage on the same day.
Chao Gai's face was serious, and he held a meeting with Wu Yong, the military advisor, and Bai Sheng, the head of the think tank, to discuss countermeasures and plans. Wu Yongshen was idle, Bai Sheng was thorough, and played a game of chess on this Shuibo Liang Mountain.
The fog on the surface of the water has not yet dissipated, and the horizon cannot be seen too far, and occasionally a few reeds and cattails are seen, like ghosts.
Slowly, a bow gradually appeared in the white smoke waves, which looked like an official ship, and a middle-aged officer with a frown stood on the bow. He pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife on his crotch, and looked at the misty world in front of him with sharp eyes, as if the pace of time had slowed down, pushing the official ship forward inch by inch on the dangerous water.
Suddenly, a sharp air movement at two o'clock disturbed the chaos of the mist, breaking the deathly silence. Suddenly, the bow and arrow on his belt shot at that angle like a locust, but it seemed to fly and disappear, mysterious and terrifying. With a "pop", the brief commotion calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.
When the ship was a few meters away, the officer spotted a dead mallard floating on the water on the right side of the hedgehog, full of feathered arrows.
"It turned out to be this guy...... Hum! The officer thought to himself.
He was the supervisor He Tao who was dispatched by Jeju Governor Yin to Yuncheng County to observe He Tao, and personally led 3,000 officers and soldiers to level the 800 miles of Shuibo Liangshan in order to ask for merit from the imperial court.
He Tao motioned to move on. And the mist, which was as thin as fine yarn in the sun, turned into a mosquito net, and finally disappeared.
Only then did everyone slowly see that on the calm water, there was an empty boat floating alone, and when they looked around, there was not a boatman, and there were no ropes on the left and right, which was indescribably weird.
In the long world, only the surface of the water, the lonely boat, and the doubtful people on the oncoming boat.
As soon as He Tao raised his hand at this time, the official ship stopped moving and stopped on the water.
He turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees in horror, looking around him, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and when He Tao looked forward with everyone's gaze, he saw that the lonely boat facing him was slowly sinking, and finally disappeared completely below the surface of the water, without even a bubble floating up.
He Tao was terrified and ordered the archers to fire arrows at the location of the sunken ship. For a while, ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, and they shot towards the surface of the water. But after all, at the end of the strong crossbow, the power is weak, and the arrow only submerges into the water for a little time before floating on the surface of the water. In a short time, the water was full of feathered arrows, as if an island on the water had been built with random arrows.
The nerves of He Tao and the officials were tensed and loosened by these strange scenes, and they went back and forth several times, only to see a bluff, and there was no enemy, exhausted, and almost crazy.
When everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue walking, a huge wave suddenly rose from the side of the flagship Zuo Xuan, and a white tentacle knocked several officers and soldiers on the ship into the water at once, and at first they were still fluttering and calling for help, but after only a few seconds, there was no sound, just a dark red of blood poured up.
"Hell, ghost!" The timid among the officers and soldiers couldn't help but shout.
He Tao angrily kicked him into the water, and shouted in his mouth: "Escape from the battle, bewitch the hearts of the army, deal with it by military law, and kill him!" ”
The officer and soldier threw themselves on the surface of the water and shouted, shouting "help," and the miserable screams were heard on the surface of the water with a particularly piercing sound, which made people get goosebumps when they heard it.
Suddenly, the sound of "help" changed to "ahhhhh
The people on the boat looked at the poor man on the water in horror, and they were forced to do nothing about it, and they were uncomfortable.
The man's place "whew" and a huge wave rose up, which suddenly carried him into the air, and after a terrible "ah" sound, it became quiet again. I saw that the man's head and limbs were drooping, and it was obvious that he was no longer dead.
When everyone looked closely, it turned out that what lifted the man into the air was a huge tentacle, as if it was a monster in the water.
He Tao ordered the arrow to be released, and the tentacle seemed to have eyes, and he used the corpse of the officer and soldier to block the arrow, and then even the person with the arrow sank into the water, and it could no longer be found.
Everyone was frightened and in a dilemma, and when they didn't know how to deal with it, they found that the ship they were on was sinking little by little. The sailors on the lower deck shouted "the ship is in the water" and jumped into the water one after another.
The officers and men on the ship panicked, and some of them had good water nature, threw their blades and jumped directly into the water; If the water is not good, hold the wooden rope on the boat on the spot and find a way to float to survive.
He Tao looked down and saw that the water had reached his ankles, so he had to hold his breath and jump into the water. When struggling, I feel like someone is supporting me under me, and I am grateful, but I don't think about it, save my physical strength, and then try to survive.
However, I saw that several other official ships around me also sank one after another. The water surface is like a big pot of boiling dumplings, and the shouting and scolding are endless, and everyone is just eager to survive.
At this moment, I saw a few light boats coming in the distance, and the people on the boats were all dressed as fishermen.
The officers and soldiers who fell into the water shouted for help, wanting those fishermen to help save people.
He Tao wanted to drag the brothers under him to help him float to survive together, but when his left hand was pulled up, he saw a cold hand full of feather arrows, and his heart was horrified, and he was surprised!
