Before the engagement, both sides had no doubts about their side's victory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He Xuan was sure that the person on the other side could not be the opponent of the two masters of the Yuan Realm under his command, as long as he rushed up and boarded the bow of the ship, he could win the final victory.

And Xia Di's side also has similar thoughts, they think that their warships are very powerful, and the enemies on the opposite side are cargo ships, and they don't understand naval warfare at all, and they can definitely teach the other party a lesson in this regard. As for the masters, these people on their own ships all came down from the fighting ground, and their strength was not comparable to those sect disciples who were still spinning on land. Moreover, most of these people are soldiers, and it is difficult for even masters to compete with them when they form a military formation, not to mention that there is a powerful Mingxuan real person on their side, which is a great master in the middle of the Yuan Realm, but it is something that ordinary people can't compete.

Fierce warships, excellent crews, and powerful formation masters - this is the confidence that Xia Di's side has.

Both sides were convinced that they could win, and naturally there was no idea of backing down. So, at three o'clock in the morning, the two fleets quickly approached each other, and soon narrowed the distance between the two sides to less than two miles.

"Rush ...... Reach in, all the disciples of the God Refining Realm are ready for me. As soon as I give the order, you will give me the lead and rush forward. He Xuan shouted loudly.

"But, what's the matter, the ship over there is so tall, it's okay to say that we are in the God Refining Realm, just fly up directly. But what about those Qi Induction Realm disciples? No matter how good their light body skills were, they couldn't rush too high. He Xuan gave an order, and some people raised their confusion because of this.

"Hmph, don't you little cubs have eyes? The other party's boat is large, but its surface is not smooth. You are all monks who are much stronger than ordinary people, and in this case, you just have to board the ship from these uneven places when the two ships intersect. He Yan rolled his eyes and reprimanded them in a deep voice.

"Is it really that simple?" and some people didn't believe it.

"It's that simple. Don't say you can't do that. He Yan nodded affirmatively, and looked at them through gritted teeth.

"Okay, let's try it then!" He Xuan was so sure, they didn't want to say anything more.

As for how to fight the naval battle, the He brand side, under his own insistence, made strategic arrangements for boarding the ship and close combat.

Melee combat is a tactic he takes for granted, but He Yan thinks very well, but Xia Di on the opposite side may not think as much as he does.

Xia Di delegated the command of the naval battle to Xie Liuyun, and Xie Liuyun would not stupidly wait for the two fleets to stick face to face like this.

"Full rudder left, turn due west!" At three quarters and twelve minutes, Xie Liuyun gave an order: "Send out the order to register the flag, let the fleet line up in a long snake formation, use the belly of the ship to face the enemy, and give them a wave from a distance first." ”

"No!" the soldiers took the order.

Soon the huge battleship moved.

With the Zhongyuan as the lead ship, the huge hull with an astonishing momentum turned heavily and dexterously, plowing a white wake on the sea. After dozens of breaths, the fleet completed the turn, and they used the broad belly of the ship to face He Xuan and the others, and put on a formation that He Xuan couldn't understand.

"What are they going to do here?" He imagined a naval battle as a ship-to-bow collision, followed by soldiers from both sides boarding the ship. As for belly to bow? Isn't that an obvious suicide?

"Could it be that the commander of the big ship on the other side doesn't know what naval warfare is at all?" He Yan guessed, thinking more and more that the other party was at such a level, and a touch of contemptuous mockery appeared on his face: "It's a pity that these good ships are really a pity." Well, is it better to send an order to Wei Xuan and Luo Yu later, so that they can stop a little bit and don't give disaster to this big ship. It would be nice if we could occupy all these ships. With such a large ship, we can also carry more cargo from the sea. And with such a big ship in hand, it can raise the face of our sect to some extent. The fact that the sect has face naturally means that I also have a lot of face, hehe!" He Xuan thought wildly, looking very beautiful, and almost started daydreaming.

However, his daydreams were soon shattered, and the ensuing shrill whistling woke him from his slumber. A black oppressive arrow feather rose from the opposite ship, and it swept through the air in an arc and fell towards the place where he was. Sharp arrows rained down, crossbow guns rained down like lightning, and while most people were surprised by the rain of arrows, dozens of crossbow guns as thick as a child's arm shot up and sank into their bodies before everyone could react.

"Poof...... Burst...... Poof!" The sound of arrows entering their bodies sounded, and those lucky people only felt a black shadow passing by them with a sharp wind, and then a few unlucky ghosts were pierced through the heart by the sudden crossbow spear, and blood burst out, forming a string of blood gourds.

The crossbow guns were terrifying, and after the crossbow guns, the rain of arrows struck them, which made the people on He Xuan's side a little too busy to take care of themselves. The strength of each of the arrows was not very large, and it was still within the range they could handle, but the number of arrows raining was too large, and the rush was too dense, which made most of them a little unbearable.

Dialing in a panic, dancing and coping, for their own lives, they are also very hard. After some fiddling, after paying the losses of dozens of unlucky ghosts, they finally resisted this wave of invasion. After the invasion, they stared at the big ship opposite, and a question arose in their hearts: "What...... Why can their ships fire so many bows and crossbows at once?"

They were not familiar with naval warfare, but naturally they didn't understand the mystery, and when they tried to use their wisdom to figure out this problem, the second wave of blows from Xia Di's side came. The arrows rained down in the air, and the crossbows pierced the rainbow, and they had no choice but to scramble again. After that, there was a third wave, a fourth wave...... When Xia Di's fleet circled around them in a full circle, they had been so overwhelmed by ten waves of arrows in a row that they didn't even have the kung fu to curse. Although the masters among them were still unscathed, most of the disciples in the fleet who were in the Qi Induction Period had already suffered heavy casualties and had no morale.

"What should we do?" they were a little frightened by their opponents: "What's the matter, or we should retreat!" Because fear was growing in their hearts, they didn't want to fight anymore.

"Retreat?" Hearing the suggestion of his subordinates, He Yan was slightly stunned at first, and then became furious: "How can this be? If you retreat like this, then won't my attack this time become a joke? I will be looked down upon by people because of this, and even the sect will lose face." How can this be...... It's just a few waves of arrows that have killed some disciples. What's unacceptable about this? No, we can't just retreat. ”

Thinking like this, He Yan had already made up his mind in his heart, and he became serious and frowned and loudly encouraged everyone: "My disciples, what is wrong with you? Why are you afraid of such a cowardly enemy? You must know that you are the disciples of the brave Armored Beast Sect. The enemy is weird, I admit it, but I don't think they have what it takes to compete with you. Look at their behavior. If they were really powerful and capable cultivators, how could they be afraid of competing with us face to face.

Don't look at their current strong bows and crossbows are very sharp, but I will say that they are not strong. Their performance seems to me to be just a hedgehog. Hedgehogs have sharp spines on their backs and look scary, but they are no match for tigers and leopards. Ladies and gentlemen, for now you must abandon your fears and rise to the occasion. As long as you meet it, I believe that victory will be ours!"

He Xuan's words were loud and infectious. As soon as he said this, the disciples over there all started to talk about it.

"Uh...... That's right. ”

After all, there is also a saying on the battlefield that a bow and crossbow are stupid, and a spear and a big sword are a hero!"

"Perhaps, if we rush up like this, they will be scared to their knees as soon as they light up their weapons. After all, it is a tradition that archers are not good at hand-to-hand combat. ”

"Well, that's right!

"Then let's do it!"

......

Everyone discussed it, and they all felt that He Xuan was very reasonable. The original reduction to zero point recovered slightly, and they remembered their fear, remembered that there were their friends among the dead, and they all became the same enemy for a while.

However, some people are still calmly worried: "The enemy's warships are much faster than us." I don't know how the other side managed to do that, but with their speed, it's not easy for us to fight them close to each other. ”

"Don't worry, as long as we get out of the fight, they're going to have to fight us. You must know that the speed of these big ships is very fast, but no matter how fast they are, can they be faster than these masters of the God Refining Realm in our fleet? Flying in the sky is always faster than running at sea. In this regard, He Hao has his own opinion.

"Can this really be the case?" the questioner was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it slightly, but he also thought that He Yan seemed to have some truth in what he said. So, he went down in silence.

With his silence, He Xuan's opinion was finalized without any more objections. The order was issued, and the seven or eight masters of the God Refining Realm who existed on the ship suddenly stood up from the deck in a volley, and just like that, they were suspended in mid-air and rushed towards the big ship opposite.

In this rush, they can be said to have done their best: among them, the disciples of the Armored Beast Sect carried out armoring in mid-air, turning themselves into full martial arts, and the remaining disciples of the sect who belonged to the Armored Beast Sect also sacrificed their own magic weapons, the people of the Yunhe Sect, and they all had swords and swords. Wen Dingzong's imperial text, for a while, the scrolls were fluttering, and the magic paintings were illusory, which was very much the taste of the eight immortals who Li Jingxuan had seen in his previous life.

"Archery, archery!" Seeing the enemy flying into the air, Xie Liuyun understood that they had already used their masters, and he secretly glanced at Xia Di, hoping that he could quickly order the masters on his side to attack as well, but he found that Xia Di was just quietly watching the movement on the opposite side but did not react further. There was no way, Xie Liuyun had no choice but to order loudly.

As a general, he knew what kind of impact these masters could have on his fleet, and he was unwilling to accept this influence, so he could only order his soldiers to shoot at them, and use dense arrow fire to stop the enemy from approaching. Although this kind of blocking has no effect at all for the masters who come with their eyes open, even if it is better than nothing, Xie Liuyun still has to work hard.

"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh!" More than a thousand sailors spread their longbows and aimed at the black shadow in the sky that was fast approaching them, they pulled their bows hard, and then gently let go, the bowstring struck the arrow hard, sending it into the sky with a sharp whistling sound. For a while, nearly a thousand sharp arrows broke through the air and shot at those people in the sky from different angles, causing an even greater momentum.

"This blow...... It's going to cause them some trouble. Xie Liuyun looked at the people who were wrapped in arrow feathers, and said in his heart.

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Xia Di shook his head gently: "You still underestimate the power of these God Refining Realm masters. ”

"What do you say?" Xie Liuyun was a little puzzled.

"They're better than you think. Xia Di said.

Just as he spoke, the feathers of the arrows flying towards those people in the sky suddenly changed. A huge stance erupted, and it gathered all these arrows that approached it, and gathered them into a black ball. This ball has a diameter of more than ten zhang, and it looks very terrifying in the air of dozens of zhang.

"That's terrible. Xia Di's brows furrowed slightly: "They really have a few guys with good strength over there." Xia Di said and turned his head and instructed Xie Liuyun: "Hurry up and let the soldiers below get ready." The counteroffensive of the opposing side is coming soon. ”

"Ah...... I understand!" Originally, Xie Liuyun was still a little puzzled by this. However, Xia Di said so eagerly, he naturally didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he quickly sent someone to inform the herald. The soldiers below sprang into action as soon as they received the order, and one by one they bent over the side of the ship, raised the leather shields that had been placed at their feet, and pressed them against their heads.

After that, the changes in heaven evolved again. The arrows that had gathered together turned around with a wave of someone's hand, and they shot down from the sky with much more force than the sailors shot upwards. For a time, "Do...... Quiver...... Do!" resounded above the fleet. Although Xia Di's notice told the soldiers to prepare for defense in advance, there were still many soldiers who fell under this astonishing change.

The nature of the God Refining Realm cultivator who was no longer afraid of the siege of the soldiers was once again revealed at this moment.

"They're really amazing. Seeing them fight back like this, Xie Liuyun couldn't help but mutter. He himself is only at the level of the Qi Extraction Period, but it is difficult to imagine how powerful the God Refining Stage will be. (To be continued.) )
