106 Graves, and other sacrifices

Su Chen's expression was blank, holding the body of Ah Chou's gradually cold, through more than ten miles of northern Ludang, to the shore of Taihu Lake on the island, ready to be transported back to Gusu City by boat.

Han Shu, Chief Manager Liu, and three or four hundred Heavenly Eagle Sect disciples were demoralized and sad, carrying the remains of many fellow disciples and accompanying them all the way.

When they arrived at the lake, they were shocked to see that seven or eight warships, dozens of cargo ships, and hundreds of fishing boats had either been stabbed by knives and guns, or burned with oil, and some had been dragged into the lake and sunk to the bottom.

"What did these whales do for the bandits? They wrecked the boat, how do we get back?"

The disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect couldn't help but look shocked.

The main force of the coalition army led by Hanshan Zhenren only passed through the ten miles of northern Ludang and attacked the Ethereal Peak. It only took a few moments for the bandits to destroy all the boats.

If the coalition forces defeat the whale gang, the bandits will destroy the ship, of course, it will be a waste of manpower to do this.

The Jianghu disciples had enough time to repair the holes in the boat, even if it took a day or two to cut down the wood for a raft, they would have time to go back.

There is only one situation, that is, the coalition forces are defeated, and the destruction of ships can play a huge role. At that time, there were no ships, not to mention that the bodies could not be transported back, and I am afraid that even their surviving disciples would not be able to go back.

"Quick, don't be stunned. Repair the ships and build rafts!"

Chief Manager Liu was deeply worried, and hurriedly ordered all the Heavenly Eagle Sect disciples to repair the few remaining ships that could still be used.

The boats with their bottoms pierced could barely have three or five cargo ships and fishing boats, and they could be used for repairs, but they could carry one or two hundred people at most. Everyone else had to cut down the wood and bamboo on the island and make a batch of bamboo rafts.

Su Chen glanced indifferently at the destroyed ships, these ships were destroyed so cleanly, it seemed that the Giant Whale Gang was very confident, and they were sure that they could win a big victory in this battle. On this island, the coalition forces will be in a pot.

He looked at the surrounding lake and mountain scenery again.

The lakes and mountains here are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, and it is quiet, and you will like it if you want to come to Ugly.

Su Chen put Ah Chou down and said, "The ship is gone, so there is no need to transport it back." Since Ugly died in battle on this West Dongting Mountain Island, this is his destination, and he will be buried on the shore of this lake!"

Han Shu was still in grief, and was stunned when she heard this, "Why, this West Dongting Island is the territory of the Giant Whale Gang, and this battle has not yet been decided... What if..."

"It doesn't matter whose territory it is. Dig a grave here and bury him. After burying him, I will also get some sacrifices to come back to comfort his spirit in heaven!"

Su Chen said coldly.

What sacrifice?

Manager Liu, Han Shu and the others were all stunned, and they didn't know what Su Chen meant by this. These words were also bland, but when they listened to them, they inexplicably felt a cold and cold meaning, coming out of the bottom of their hearts, which made their hearts palpitate.

Su Chen didn't care about them, picked up an iron sword that he didn't know who discarded in the reeds, found a dirt slope high ground nearby, cut wood for a coffin, dug up a grave, and buried Ah Chou by the lake.

Su Chen's movements were not fast, and he was not in a hurry. Carefully selected a good giant tree, built a good coffin, carefully put the body of Ah Chou into the coffin, and buried it.

Han Shu silently beside him, on the hillside and high ground, helped build a big tomb.

Su Chen took a hard rock on a nearby hillside and carved a stone tombstone with a sword.

The Tomb of Fichen Ugly!

He threw his iron sword on the ground and sat beside the tomb, looking at the sky with cold and indifferent eyes. The sun is gradually turning westward, and in another hour or two the sun should go down.

The grave was raised, and the sacrifice came.

...

From time to time, Chief Liu looked at the ethereal peak in the distance, and saw that the mountain peak was lit with fireworks, and the coalition army and the giant whale gang were fighting.

The inexplicable worry in his heart urged the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect to hurry up and cut down trees and build rafts in the nearby mountains and forests.

But it was not easy, and without an axe, the blade was easy to dull if you only cut it with a sword, and it took a lot of effort to cut down a large tree. The bamboo raft is slightly easier, but most of the reeds are near the North Ludang, and the mountains are woods, and there are few bamboo forests.

This bamboo raft and raft are not as good as boats, and a small raft can only carry three or four people, which cannot carry much. Taihu Lake is not a small river, and occasionally encounters strong winds and waves, and it is easy to capsize if it carries too many people.

A few hours passed.

They finally built more than 300 rafts, barely enough to put the corpses of more than 600 disciples who died in the Heavenly Eagle Gate, as well as the remaining Heavenly Eagle Gate disciples, ready to be transported back to Gusu City.

At this time, I saw a ghost crying wolf in the north Ludang in the distance, and countless routs were like chaotic ants, all the way from the ethereal peak to the shore of the North Ludang Lake.

They fled to the lake, but found that all the boats had been burned and destroyed, and there were no boats to use.

"What's going on?"

Chief Manager Liu was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed a small gang leader who had fled, and asked in surprise, "What happened on the mountain?

The little gang leader's face was covered with blood, and he looked at Chief Manager Liu with a frightened expression, and cried weakly: "It's over! It's all over! Our army finally broke through the Lanyue Cliff Cottage and attacked the Ethereal Peak Helm. At a glance, they can exterminate Liu Hong, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and Mao Ziyuan of the White Lotus Sect.

Hanshan real people... He suddenly rebelled in public! The White Lotus Demon Dao has a lot of demon talismans, they are all golden and golden, invulnerable, and my first-class masters can't cut them. He joined forces with Liu Hong, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and Mao Ziyuan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, on the Ethereal Peak, and led the Hanshan Daoist, the Giant Whale Gang Water Bandits, and the White Lotus Demon Dao to massacre the disciples of the coalition army.

Li Shuo's gang leader, medicine king Sun Baihong, knew that the enemy was not enough, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he covered the escape of Lord Zhao. Our coalition forces have been defeated, and they are following and killing them all the way. ”

"What, Hanshan Zhenren is actually a traitor!"

Chief Liu's face turned pale, and his body shook.

Hanshan Zhenren is the highest person in the rivers and lakes of Wu County, the recognized leader of the White Dao, and the prestige of the great leader of the coalition army. The Hanshan Taoist view is rich and rich, and there is no shortage of money at all. Why do real people want to be in the same league with the water bandits of the Whale Gang?

Even if the Aquila Gate was ambushed, he never suspected that there was a deception. Because everyone has a reason to rebel, but only this worldly master, Hanshan Zhenren, can't find any reason to do so.

...

The flames of war in the Ethereal Peak have been burning.

The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the ethereal peaks red, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The 13,000 people of the Giant Whale Gang, the Water Bandits, the White Lotus Demon Dao, and the Cold Mountain Daoists chased the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers of the coalition army, from the peak to the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, hundreds, thousands of disciples of the rivers and lakes, and batches of them died in battle. From the small gang leaders, hall masters, and Dharma protectors, to ordinary third-rate disciples, they mourned all over the wilderness, and there were countless casualties.

At the moment of danger, Sun Baihong, the king of medicine, was at the foot of the mountain, releasing a large number of snakes and scorpions, poisonous insects and poisons that had been prepared in advance to block the pursuit of the water bandits.

However, this can only stop for a while.

Under the cover of the two grandmasters, Li Shuo and Sun Baihong, the remaining more than 2,000 armor soldiers and six or seven thousand gang disciples of the coalition army finally broke down and fled to Beiludang.

But they saw that the boats on the shore of the lake had been burned, and there was no way to escape.

There were hundreds of simple bamboo rafts on the lake, which were also transported by the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and floated away.

The disciples of the rivers and lakes knelt in the shallow water by the lake, extremely sad, the way out had been lost, and the catastrophe was inevitable.

Gu Jiufeng, the No. 1 young master in Haiyan County and the leader of the Haiyan Gang, cried out with tears: "It's over, my Gu family's "Lonely Sword Technique" will be buried!

The young talents of those major gangs, Shadowless Whip Wuqing, Desperate Wednesday Lang, Broad Giant Sword Han Yun Han Dagongzi and others, looked at each other, they were all sad, hugging each other and crying bitterly.

The night before yesterday, they were still at the first youth dinner of Wu County at the Sky Eagle Inn, proud of the rivers and lakes of Wu County, thinking that they would step into the green clouds after becoming the gang leader and deputy gang leader in the future.

It's only been less than two days, and their Qingyun dream is sinking in the sand and breaking in this northern reed, and they are about to die sadly in this Taihu Lake.

Li Jiao, Yang Caizhi, Zhang Tieniu, Qin Huihui and other disciples of the Medicine King Gang have been carefully hiding behind the main force, and when they found that something was wrong, they desperately fled to the lake, and when they saw the empty lake, their faces were pale.

It's over, it's still over after all!

Wang Xian Ling fled to the lake, with no way out, and howled in the shallow water, "I still have a few concubines, what can they do without me! Son, rich man, Daddy can't come back to take care of you! Lonely baby, how miserable you will be in the future!"

The officials cried for their fathers and mothers, only hating that they didn't grow a fish tail and swam across Taihu Lake.

There were still a few rafts left, leaning against the shore, and they were scrambling by the disciples of the rivers and lakes.

However, they rushed to get on the raft, and then they saw Grandmaster Li Shuo riding his horse over, scolded sharply, and smashed these rafts with one shot. Throw them all into the water.

Zhao Juzhen was wearing a battle armor, surrounded by officials and armor, and came to the shore of Taihu Lake in despair, looking at the empty lake, his face was bloody, and his face was like ashes.

There was no way to escape, and the 8,000 children who had fled here were trapped and died on this island.

"This defeat was caused by my mistakes. Our officers and soldiers, the combined forces of Jianghu disciples, the elite soldiers of the 4,000 naval army, and the 10,000 gang disciples all died here! The thirteen counties of Wu County will be stolen by the Hanshan Demon Dao, the Giant Whale Gang traitors, and the White Lotus Sect Demon Dao. Jiangnan is turbulent, and the world is uneasy. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and the world!"

Zhao Juzhen was sad, stood by the lake and closed her eyes, pulled out her sword, and wanted to kill herself.

Li Shuo hurriedly stopped him, snatched away his sword and said: "Lord Zhao, this battle is defeated, no one expected that Hanshan Zhenren would be a traitor, not all of your crimes! ”

"Go back, how can you go back?!"

Zhao Taishou lost his sword and was desolate.

If he can bring back all these officers and soldiers and Jianghu disciples, he still has hope to stick to the various counties and continue to spend time with the Giant Whale Gang.

But there's no going back.

There is wood on this island, and it can be cut down for boats. But it will take at least a day to build enough rafts to transport everyone back.

However, more than 13,000 pursuers of the Hanshan Daoist Priests, the Giant Whale Gang Water Bandits, and the White Lotus Sect led by Hanshan Zhenren, Liu Hong, and Mao Ziyuan had already descended the Ethereal Peak, and they soon arrived in a big way, where could they escape.

The remaining seven or eight thousand defeated soldiers of the coalition army were all crowded on the shore of Beiludang Lake, wailing, but they were desolate and had no way to escape.

"They're coming, what should I do?!"

"I don't want to die!"

All the officers and soldiers and the disciples of the rivers and lakes wept and looked behind in horror.

Under dusk.

From a distance, I heard that more than 10,000 pursuers of the Giant Whale Gang and the water bandits entered the ten miles north of Ludang, and a large area of reeds was stirring.

"The whole army is arrayed, and the battle is on your back!"

Li Shuo hurriedly drank his horse and ordered seven or eight thousand water officers and soldiers and all the disciples of the rivers and lakes to have their backs against Taihu Lake, facing the pursuit of the water bandits, and to do the final battle against the water.

"Brothers, we have no way out, fight with this shameless traitor of the Hanshan Demon Dao, the son of a bitch!"

"Yes, even if you die in battle, you have to pull a cushion! We are heroes in the rivers and lakes, if we die, it is just a big scar, and we will be a good man again in eighteen years!"

The disciples of the rivers and lakes and the armor of the navy army were sad and frightened, and they mustered up their last courage and lined up to meet the big array. Even though he is desperate and facing a certain death, he must make a final fight to die.

...

Su Chen was beside the nearby dirt slope grave, playing with a leaf of dog's tail grass in his hand, indifferently watching the coalition army preparing for a battle against the water, and glanced at the movement in the distance in the depths of the North Ludang.

It's almost time to come.

"Quack!"

Several night crows, startled in the cold wind, flew in the sky of the northern reeds.
