Hearing the sound of two rounds of artillery in the area of Baishui Village in the southeast, the aftermath did not disappear for a while, only the agitation over Dongting Lake was endless, and the martial arts people on Jun Mountain were a little confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It must be known that this artillery is a thing, which has done more harm than good, and although the previous dynasty had used it to conquer the city, it was not popularized after all. What's more, these martial arts masters present have been rolling and fighting in the rivers and lakes all year round, but most of them don't know this thing.

Wen Tian heard that Xie Qinghui was still surrounded by an endless stream of herald officers, and he did not give the order to attack everyone, so he couldn't help but listen anxiously, and immediately heard a herald officer who was reporting to Xie Qinghui quickly said: "...... After the second round of shelling, two more of our army's 'astonishing cannons' exploded, but fortunately, there were no casualties among the sergeants, and now there are still nine ...... left" Xie Qinghui didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare for the third round of bombardment." The herald heard the order and trotted away.

Wen Tian heard that he knew a little about this artillery, and when he heard such a battle situation, he became more and more unable to understand Xie Qinghui's intentions. I only heard that Boss Tang beside him was forced to be anxious, and he couldn't shirk it, and was explaining to the iron real person: "Don't worry, the range of this artillery is limited, and the cannon is fired across the lake, so naturally it can't hit the Dragon Leap Island...... " The iron real person was the most anxious, and shouted loudly: "In this way, what is the use of these artifacts? It is better to directly attack the whole army and kill the Dragon Leaping Island happily." ”

Boss Tang smiled, but he smoked a dry cigarette without delay, and did not continue to answer, naturally he was hanging everyone's appetite. Wen Tianting knew that this Boss Tang was a villain at the moment, and he would definitely take the opportunity to pretend to be profound, put on his own posture, and immediately smiled: "Brother Tang has taken over the general order of General Xiao Xie, please be open and honest, so that we can answer questions for us." ”

His words secretly carried his most proud stunt "swallowing stars and spitting clouds", Boss Tang on the opposite side listened to it, but he didn't realize anything, but the dry tobacco stick in his mouth suddenly became hot, and then with a soft "poof", the tobacco in the smoke pot exploded for no reason, splashing with sparks, which suddenly scared Boss Tang. But when he heard it, he had already applauded loudly: "Good hand 'Spring and Autumn Righteousness', Brother Tang really has the true inheritance of the Huangshan faction." ”

Boss Tang stood stunned for a while, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly. Wen Tian's hand of "swallowing stars and spitting clouds" actually transmitted the internal force through the sound, so as to make his drought smoke explode, which was naturally far superior to the "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" that he had just shown. It's rare to hear that the words are not broken, which can be regarded as saving enough face for yourself. At that moment, Boss Tang no longer dared to make a fool of himself, and said respectfully: "You don't have to worry, although this artillery has a limited range, General Xiao Xie has already ordered those non-commissioned officers to tilt the muzzle of the cannon into the air. In this way, under one shot, the ammunition can also fall two or three miles away. ”

I only heard one person say coldly: "This artillery is just the impact of the explosion of gunpowder, pushing out an iron ball to injure the enemy, if it is fired diagonally upward, it is equivalent to throwing the iron ball out, even if it can accurately hit the target, at most it will smash one or two people, what effect can it have?" Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that the person who spoke was Zhang Nanfei, the head of the Wuling Sword Sect, and he heard Boss Tang explain the battle situation here, so he came together with a group of famous martial arts people in Huguang.

Boss Tang shook his head and smiled: "What Master Zhang said is extremely true, but these shelling by General Xiao Xie is not to hurt the enemy, but to lure the enemy ......" Speaking of this, I only heard that the third round of artillery sound had sounded in the area of Baishui Village in the southeast direction, and after about a cup of tea, until the earth-shattering roar was a little, Boss Tang continued: "...... The biggest difficulty in this battle lies in Jiang Wangcai's almost invincible water fleet. And now that they heard that our army was coming, the enemy assembled a fleet on the east side of Longyue Island early in the morning, lined up and waited for Hou to fight. Now, although our artillery can't bombard the Dragon Leap Island, the battleships lined up in the lake are not spared, and they will have to eat a few more or less. ”

When Tie Zhenren heard this, he hurriedly interjected and asked: "Brother Zhang is very right, what kind of artillery is just throwing a few iron balls in the end, even if it can really fall on Jiang Wangcai's ship, what can it do?"

Boss Tang couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "Don't you still understand? Our army's primary goal at the moment is to contain the enemy's fleet, especially the thirty-six 'Flying Tiger Divine Ships' that are ten zhang long and three zhang high. At this moment, all the ships on Dongting Lake have already been withdrawn by the enemy, and the closest place to Longyue Island on the boundary of Yueyang is Baishui Village in the southeast. The purpose of our army's current artillery firing at the enemy near this Baishui village is to attract the enemy's attention and make them believe that our army is going to launch a general attack from here, so as to try to cross Dongting Lake and get to the island from the east of Longyue Island. As a result, the Dongting Lake Naval Fleet, which was currently waiting on the lake east of Longyue Island, did not dare to act rashly. ”

How did this martial arts person understand the mystery of this temporary formation? Although he listened to Boss Tang's explanation, he was still a little confused. At that moment, someone asked: "Even if we can contain Jiang Wangcai's navy with such a cannon, what can we do? We have no ships at the moment, and we will never be able to defeat their fleet." Seeing that it was a disciple of the Wuling Sword Sect who asked the question, Boss Tang couldn't help but scold: "Idiot, if we don't try to contain Jiang Wangcai's fleet, how can we have a chance to cross the lake and go to the island?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a herald beside Xie Qinghui trotting over and shouting loudly: "The general has an order, so please cross the lake immediately and destroy the enemy from the north shore of Longyue Island!"

You must know that most of the two hundred or so martial arts heroes on this Jun Mountain have been waiting here since the early hours of the morning, and they have been holding back the fire for a long time, and now they have finally waited for the order to attack, and everyone is gearing up for a while, just waiting for a happy fight. Wen Tian, who was the leader, hesitated slightly, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the ship...... Before he finished speaking, he heard a shout behind him, and hundreds of sturdy sergeants lined up, and every ten sergeants carried a huge raft, all of which were made of bamboo with thick bowls. A little more detail shows that these sergeants have a total of thirty bamboo rafts in their hands.

I only heard Boss Tang say: "This Dongting Lake is rich in spotted bamboo, and it is also the Xiangfei bamboo that is rumored to be made by Empress E and Nuying with tears." As for the enemy's withdrawal of all the boats on Dongting Lake, Mr. Xiao knew last night that those boats had been blocked into the lake northwest of Dongting Lake. Therefore, General Xiao Xie immediately sent 300 soldiers to rush overnight, and took materials on the spot on the side of this king, and tidied up the thirty bamboo rafts at present, so that you could ride on the island at this moment. ”

Wen Tianting and the others suddenly realized, and when they saw that this Xie Qinghui was actually sleeping soundly, everyone was a little unimpressed, but as far as the current scheduling is concerned, it seems that this Xiao Xie General is indeed a general, and it is worth believing. I only heard that Boss Tang said again: "Now that the general has given the order, it can be seen that the previous three rounds of artillery have successfully attracted the enemy fleet." Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will cross the lake and land on the island and go straight to Jiang Wangcai's lair!"

As he spoke, the sergeants had already dropped all the more than 30 bamboo rafts into Dongting Lake, and Xie Qinghui immediately retreated from a herald officer beside him and jumped on a bamboo raft first.

I saw Xie Qinghui on the bamboo raft holding high the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, bathing in the morning light of this Dongting Lake, and shouted loudly to more than 200 martial arts masters on Jun Mountain: "In today's battle, I, Xie Qinghui, will bear the brunt! You will follow me to kill Longyue Island and exterminate the traitor Jiang Wangcai!
