Chapter 302: The War Begins
"What! Emperor Kangxi actually wants to deal with Gongzi?" Shui Sheng's beautiful eyes widened, full of surprise.
A trace of hatred flashed in Ah Jiu's eyes, and he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, he should have killed him desperately in the first place.
Zeng Rou was also very puzzled, wasn't Gongzi the commander of the Qing army, why would he now ignore Gongzi's safety and shoot directly.
Murong Fu pondered for a long time, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he sneered, "Heh, the dragon chair has not even sat down, and he dares to turn his face with this son, I don't think he will be the emperor for long!"
The people of the Shenlong Sect didn't understand the meaning of Murong Fu's words, but when they heard that it was the "Shenwu Cannon" that shook the ground outside, they were shocked, and Lu Gaoxuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teach ...... Childe, at this time, you should come up with a countermeasure first, otherwise you will be bombarded with a few more shots, and Shenlong Island will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"
"Childe, what should we do?" The three daughters of Shui Sheng all looked at Murong Fu, they had seen the power of the Shenwu cannon with their own eyes, and they were extremely afraid, the only thing that was reassuring at this moment was that Murong Fu was still by his side.
Murong Fu smiled suddenly, "Fortunately, let's take down Shenlong Island first, let's go, go out with me to see what the situation is!"
Everyone followed Murong Fu out, his body jumped, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the highest peak of Shenlong Island, and the situation on the island was unobstructed, but seeing the smoke on the island, the residents were all six gods and no owners, and fled in a panic.
Murong Fu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, there were several huge warships parked a few miles outside the island, located in the east, west, south and other three directions, faintly meaning to surround Shenlong Island, although there were no warships in the north, but the north was the vast sea, and the people of Shenlong Island were not afraid to flee to the north.
Most of the people in command are Shi Lang, Murong Fu secretly made a conclusion in his heart, although most people know the truth of "opening the net", but Shi Lang is the only one in the army who can grasp the angle so accurately.
Murong Fu was secretly angry in his heart, when he dug Shi Lang out, he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
"Boom, boom" There were several loud noises, and the island was already full of wails, and everyone couldn't help but be secretly anxious, but seeing Murong Fu not saying a word, they didn't dare to ask out loud.
Murong Fu was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Although this Shenwu cannon is quite powerful, its shortcomings are also very obvious, don't be afraid!" Murong Fu paused, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the hall master of the Five Dragons Hall?"
Xu Xueting and the other five were slightly stunned for a moment, and then hugged their fists and said, "Here!"
"Xu Xueting, pass on my order, the strength of the Divine Dragon Sect will be divided into five people, and they will hide all over the island, waiting for the Qing army to land on the island!"
"Zhang Danyue, send someone to move the residents of the island out of the house, disperse and flee to the north of Shenlong Island, no matter when, don't get together!"
"Zhong Zhiling, select sixty people who are the most proficient in water and stand by at Haikou!"
......
Murong Fu's orders were issued in an orderly manner, and when everyone saw him so calm, they gradually calmed down, as if they had found the backbone of the heart.
At this time, on a small island more than ten miles away from Shenlong Island, hundreds of people gathered, all dressed differently, but they all had a small snake-shaped mark on the cuffs.
In a tent in the middle, several people were discussing something, and one of the bearded men said: "The Golden Snake King has been on the island for so many days and has not responded, but the army of the Qing court is getting closer and closer!"
Another man in a green robe also nodded, "Yes, whether it is successful or not, you should always give a response!" There was no lack of complaint in his tone.
"Alas, the Golden Snake King is burdened with the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty, so he really shouldn't be so personally involved......
"I didn't agree to let him go in the first place......"
Among the crowd, there was also an old Taoist with a white beard, with a long beard fluttering under his chin, quite a bit of immortal wind Dao bones, who was the Musang Dao man that Murong Fu had seen.
Mu Sang Dao people seemed to be an outsider, not saying a word, as if they were wandering into the world.
Suddenly, a man broke into the tent, stumbling, and seemed to be very panicked.
The bearded man shouted, "What's the panic, there are tall people on top of big things!"
The man seemed to calm down slightly, and then he spoke: "Report! The Qing court army has launched an offensive, and it seems that it has used Shenwu artillery, and the offensive is very fierce!"
Mu Sangdao's face changed slightly, and the others also asked, "How many warships did the Qing army send?"
"How many cannons are there on board?"
"Are you fighting in the direction of Shenlong Island?"
Everyone gossiped, and the man was stunned, and they didn't know where to start for a while.
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Mu Sang Dao's face, and he suddenly said: "Okay, what can you ask like this, shut up for me!"
Everyone's faces changed, but they didn't dare to say anything again, after all, Mu Sang Daoren's martial arts were the highest among everyone, and they had a bad relationship with the Golden Snake King, so they didn't dare to offend easily.
Only then did Mu Sang Dao look at the man, "Don't worry, what do you answer when I ask, where is the military strength of the Qing army distributed, and how many warships are there in each position?"
The man immediately replied: "There are three directions, east, south, and west, and there is a huge ship in each direction, and there are more than a dozen small boats! As for the military strength, it is impossible to figure out at present!"
"Is there a battle in the direction of Shenlong Island, or are there any ships coming out?" asked Mu Sang Dao again.
The man shook his head, "Shenlong Island is full of smoke, I can't see the situation on the island clearly, and there are no ships leaving the island!"
"Oh no, the Golden Serpent King won't be trapped on the island!" but the blue-robed man interjected.
Everyone was shocked, although they admired Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts very much, but under the bombardment of this kind of Shenwu cannon, it was really hard to say whether they could save their lives.
Mu Sang Daoren glared at the blue-robed man slightly, and said to the man who reported the news: "Okay, go back and continue to monitor the movements of the Qing army, especially pay attention to the ships on Shenlong Island!"
The man answered "yes" and left the tent.
The tent was silent for a while, and no one spoke, and their eyes were full of worry.
After being silent for a long time, it was the bearded man who took the lead in speaking: "What are you afraid of, we also have warships, it's a big deal to fight with the Qing army!"
"Yes, I want to save the Golden Snake King with all my might!"
"The Golden Snake King shoulders the world, and there is no room for error!"
Everyone echoed one after another, all looking like they were going to fight desperately with the Qing army.
"Alright, stop arguing!" shouted Mu Sang Dao again.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Mu Sang Daoren's voice softened, and he continued: "Although Chengzhi wants to be saved, he can't fight recklessly with the Qing army, after all, we have too few troops, and we have never fought a naval battle, and the warship has just been grabbed, and the use is very rusty, and it is absolutely impossible to fight hard!"
Everyone also knew that Musang Daoist was right, and they all bowed their hands and said: "But according to the orders of the Taoist chief!"
