Chapter Forty-Seven: The Battle of Luoxian Lake
The emperor's side was unharmed for the time being, and the high-rise boat was still heading towards the lake.
The first set of fireworks on the shore had already been set off, and no one had ordered them to stand by on the spot, and no one dared to make a claim.
On the lake, the boat driven by the Imperial Forest Army and the ship on the side of the prince first shot each other with bows and crossbows, and when they got closer, the two sides jumped onto the side of the boat and fought hard. He jumped onto a small boat, raised his knife in his hand, and cut down several people one after another, never thinking that the last person left deliberately pulled the side of the boat to make the boat shake. The prince stumbled a few times on the boat, and the man's spear took the opportunity to stab out, and the middle of the dragon was in the left arm. Holding back the sharp pain, he slashed off the man's head and kicked the body into the lake.
"Your Highness be careful, retreat and rest first." Fan Lixin stepped forward to guard.
The prince gritted his teeth and pulled out the tip of the spear, threw away the spear, tore off the robe on his body and wrapped it in the wound, picked up the double knife and said: "Don't get in the way, don't worry about me, do according to the plan." ”
Fan Lixin watched the battlefield and knew that these ships alone could not stop the building ship, so he took out a Xun from his arms and put it to his lips to blow it, making a "woo" sound, the sound was not high but very penetrating.
In a short time, three fighting ships came from a distance under the cover of night. Each battering ship is three stories high, with a parapet erected on the side of the ship, a deck of equal height on the parapet, and another parapet on the deck, and so on and so on and so forth. On each floor of the parapet wall, there are soldiers in armor waiting for them.
The speed of the fighting ships was fast, and the Imperial Forest Army on the small boat in the lake was exhausted, and they were scattered under the impact of the fighting ships, and they were quickly exhausted. Solve the lake Royal Forest Army, and the three fighting ships rush towards the building ship at the same time. The building ship was tall, and the crossbowmen above shot condescendingly, and the people on the fighting ship could only dodge or hold their shields to resist. There were holes on both sides of the fighting ship, and no one was seen for the oars, and the oars were desperately rowed inside, not affected by the crossbow arrows.
Resisting several rounds of arrows from the sky, the three fighting ships approached the building ship, and the side of the building ship was exactly the same as the top of the fighting ship. At the same time, the fighting ship rushed over and crashed into the ship.
The boat shook violently, and the people on it fell one after another, and the emperor was no exception to the side. Gu Shengchao's hands were quick, and he first took a horse to stabilize himself, and held the dragon chair with one hand to ensure the emperor's safety.
Under the violent impact, the hull of the building ship was dented, but fortunately, the keel was not damaged and the voyage continued. After the Royal Forest Army behind the daughter wall of the building boat got up, they fired crossbow arrows again, but the fighting ship and the building ship were already close together, and the people in the fighting ship were hiding below, and no matter how dense the arrows were, there was nothing to be done.
After a rain of arrows, the men in the fighting ship went up to the top floor with their shields in hand, ready to ascend to the deck of the ship. Not to be outdone, the Royal Forest Army on the building ship was not to be outdone, and the two sides scuffled together. There are a large number of royal forest troops, although the number of people who attack the fighting ships is small, relying on their physical strength and superior martial arts, but they have the upper hand, seeing that the royal forest army on the deck is slowly decreasing, they all retreat to the building ship to defend, and the queen mother who is watching the battle above grabbed Wen Zhe's arm and said worriedly: "What should I do, will they all attack?" After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the emperor resentfully.
Wen Zhe snorted coldly, turned around and ordered, "Drumming." ”
The drums beat loudly and resounded through the sky.
The people watching on the shore had already seen that this was an internal strife in the imperial court, and the timid ones slipped away early for fear of getting into trouble, and the bold ones still stood from a distance to watch. There was a scuffle in the lake, and the Imperial Forest Army and other sects on the shore couldn't help, so they stayed where they were and watched quietly.
Amid the sound of drums, more than a dozen warships sailed out of the reeds. The ship is smaller than the fighting ship, and the entire hull is wrapped in raw cowhide and other materials, and there are small windows on the front and back, left and right, which are related to the firing of bows and crossbows and the throwing of spears and spears. Although the ship was small, there were many husbands, so the speed was even faster, as if it had slid against the surface of the lake, and sailed straight towards the fighting ship.
The people on the deck of the building ship were afraid that the fighting ship would be captured, and they did not dare to fight and returned to the fighting ship, and the Royal Forest Army regained control of the deck, and the building ship continued to sail slowly towards the middle of the lake.
The fighter ship has the advantage in size, but the speed is not as good as that of the ship, and the whole body of the ship is wrapped in an outer layer of protection, even with a bow and crossbow will not help. Instead, it was the people in the ship who hid inside and cast cold arrows, so that the people on the fighting ship were tired of coping. More than a dozen warships besieged the fighting ships, and after a short time, they were separated, leaving the three fighting ships to fight separately and unable to rely on each other.
The prince commanded the ship to go over to help, but he didn't expect the ship controlled by the Criminal Department to come up, and the two boats were parallel, and the people on the boat of the Criminal Department threw flying tiger claws to hook the side of the ship, firmly connecting the two ships together. The prince rushed over with two swords in his hand, and the cold wind hit him after he slashed the two of them, and he retreated quickly, and a big knife fell against the tip of his nose. He slashed at the man's wrist with his backhand, but the man did not dodge, but raised his foot and kicked it, right in the chest, and he let out an "oops" and fell back to the deck of his ship.
Fan Lixin rubbed his body forward, a pair of Emei thorns stabbed in two ways, the man's big knife was swung to block the backhand sweep, and the big knife made the tiger mighty, so that Fan Lixin could not get close.
Shang Shu of the Criminal Department stood upstairs watching the battle, and he ordered: "No matter who the other party is, all of them will be killed, and no one will be left alive." He was staring down, when an arrow came from a distance, and he heard the movement and looked up, and the arrow hit his left eye, and fell backwards with an "ahhhh
In the scuffle, no one knew where there would be an accident, and the criminal department Shangshu fell, making the knife man a little flustered, and wanted to go up to check the injury, but he was entangled by Fan Lixin and couldn't get out. At this time, the prince pounced again, and the two of them attacked one after the other. There is a way that a good man is difficult to defeat with four hands, a pair of Emei thorns and double knives are not separated from the left and right, so that he is attacked by the enemy in the abdomen, and an inattentive Emei thorn is pierced in the lower abdomen.
When Xiao Cheng and Fan Lixin went upstairs, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was still lying on the ground wailing, and Fan Lixin and the others stepped forward to kill him.
The team of the prince and the official department merged, and all the ships attacked the ship together, and the situation of the other party's original advantage was immediately reversed. Although the speed of the ship is fast, but the fighting ship throws all kinds of crockpots filled with oil, the crockpots tumble on the raw cowhide wrapped outside the ship, and the oil inside will more or less pour on it, the prince shoots out the feathered arrows with the fire rope on the arrow shaft one after another, and the arrows are pierced into the raw cowhide covered by the ship, and after the cowhide is on fire, the ships are like a huge stove, and the people inside do not have time to jump out, and they are all burned into fireballs. is a fluke escape, and immediately becomes the target of everyone outside. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other ships did not dare to get too close, so they had to make a detour from a distance, and were forced to retreat one after another.
Gu Shengchao stood on a high place and looked into the distance, he was also happy to see victory in sight, he suddenly noticed that there was something strange on the deck under his feet, he raised his foot and took a step back, and a curved blade suddenly appeared where he was standing. If he is slightly unresponsive, the center of his foot will be pierced. Gu Shengchao didn't have time to protect his iron arm divine power, he retreated again and again, the other party seemed to be able to guess where Gu Shengchao was standing, and every time he took a step back, a curved blade would appear there. He leaped high and climbed his hands on the purlin above his head.
Although the Iron Arm Divine Skill is good, unless it comes to a critical moment, Gu Shengchao will not easily try to resist the blade head-on. In case the other party holds the ancient treasures in his hand, he will be crippled or killed, and he will not even have a chance to repent.
Legend has it that the phoenix dance sword technique is the first in the Dawu Dynasty, and the most important factor is the phoenix dance sword, which is said to be a flint stone that fell from the sky before the sky, and happened to crash into the cliff and shattered, smashing a whole mountain out of a deep pit. The craftsmen collected the essence of meteorite all over the mountains, and it took 7749 days to practice a billet, and it took 6636 days to create this anti-heaven artifact.
The deck under Gu Shengchao's feet shattered, and one person leaped out of it, holding two knives in his hand. This person is covered in a black robe, and his face is also painted with black paint, and he can't see his true face, and the scimitar in his hand is even more special, short and curved, as if he is afraid that he will not be able to reach the other party. The scimitar flashed with cold light and slashed at Gu Shengchao's legs.
Gu Sheng was terrifying, he thought that his perception ability was superior, the deck of the building ship was not tight, and the positions of the many people below could be sensed from their respective breaths, but he didn't find the existence of this person. Gu Shengchao saw that the other party was fierce, and fell down in a circle on the beam, and the black-faced man missed the blow and then slashed again, splitting the beam on his head into two, fortunately, the overall structure was not damaged, and the beam naturally hung down and the roof did not collapse.
The black-faced man swung his knife at Gu Shengchao on his head and feet, and the ancient saint super's iron arm protected his body, he let the blade cut the black-faced man's wrist with both palms, and the black-faced man was skillful in knife skills, and the scimitar was twisted back and stabbed towards Gu Shengchao's palm. Gu Shengchao had no choice but to get out of the way and retreat to the side to avoid his edge. The black-faced man didn't stop after he landed, and the two scimitars swirled in the palm of his hand and swung towards the ancient saint, the scimitars rotated at an astonishing speed, like a wooden shaft under the water mill that was washed and rotated by the torrent, and it was impossible to see where the blades were.
Gu Shengchao didn't dare to go straight to the edge, let go of the opponent's edge and attack his back and abdomen from the side, the black-faced man went straight and seemed to have the advantage, the impact was slightly fierce, and the lower plate was not well controlled, Gu Shengchao cut the opponent's back waist with a palm, and the man immediately knelt on the ground on one leg. The black-faced man expected that Gu Shengchao would definitely attack from behind, so he hurriedly turned around and threw out a scimitar.
The scimitar slashed at Gu Shengchao's chest with a clanging sound, he hurriedly lowered his head and moved out of the way, and the black-faced man took the opportunity to stand up, and the scimitar in his hand slashed towards the top of Gu Shengchao's head. Gu Shengchao retreated again, and his peripheral vision noticed that the scimitar that swirled out turned in a large circle, and the ultimate target turned out to be the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. The emperor stared at the scimitar in horror with a pair of big eyes, and tried to stand up with both handles with both hands, but his whole body was shaking, and he had no strength to move at all.
Gu Shengchao was shocked, if he wanted to take down the Flying Scimitar, he had to kill the black-faced man first, but the opponent's sword technique was weird, and it was impossible to win with one move. At the last moment, Gu Shengchao no longer hesitated, he used the real Five Soul Array, gold gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to gold, and he changed his position in an instant. The five elements restrain each other, and the black-faced man and the spinning scimitar are restrained in place. It's just that Gu Shengchao is not skillful in his use, and the black-faced man can still move, as if he is trapped in the sticky mud and moves slowly, and the scimitar also moves towards the emperor at a speed that can be seen by the eye.
Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand to hold the scimitar, turned around and put his left hand against the black-faced man's chest, and the scimitar in his right hand was about to stab it.
However, the place where Gu Shengchao's left hand touched was a soft mass, and he was shocked.
The black-faced man turned out to be a woman.
