A slender boat quickly rowed across the river, with ten people in the sculls and a helmsman in the stern, about a meter wide, and could easily be overturned by a large wind and waves.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" the helmsman shouted, "Rush to Eagle Point before dawn, and the news of your own fleet must be sent to Hengfu City as soon as possible!"

This strangely shaped narrow boat belongs to Hengfu City, which was designed by the lord Ding Kui and specially traveled on the side of the Tongyuan River. Purely by manpower propulsion can not rely on the power of sails, has the worry of high speed, especially against the current boat, but the disadvantages are also obvious, less loading, low safety, short range.

Ding Kui used the boat for river reconnaissance, equipped the helmsman with binoculars, and prepared dry rations for three to five days on board, specifically against threats from the south.

In the middle of the night of 2 September, the reconnaissance ship of Hengfu City discovered the traces of its own fleet and hurried back at full speed. The boats were filled with battle-class samurai, rowing at a speed several times faster than their own ships.

Every time the reconnaissance ship goes on a mission, it will put a person on the shore and squat with the letter eagle, and the location is half a day's flight away from Hengfu City. In case of emergency, the reconnaissance ship can write the information and put it back to the letter eagle after returning home, and pass it back to Hengfu City as soon as possible.

On the afternoon of 3 September, Lao Qiantou received information from a reconnaissance ship.

"The fleet of our own country that was discovered late last night, then according to the speed of medium-sized warships, our people are expected to arrive in Giant Sheep City tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow. The old man handed the information to Ding Kun, who heard the news.

"They won't come ashore at night, and they should arrive early in the morning of September 5th. Ao Yu hasn't come back yet, so Master Xie Peng is said to have also gone out, and I have to go back to the master tomorrow to prevent the opponent's sixth-level combat power from coming to sneak attack. ”

Ding Kun knew that there was a forbidden magician named Xie Peng who lived in the Giant Sheep City Welfare Institute, but Ding Kui specially asked him not to disturb Xie Peng's cultivation, so he never dealt with the magician. The big war was about to start, Ding Kui was worried that Xie Peng's identity would be exposed, so he simply said that he was going out.

Our fleet was supposed to arrive earlier, but it was raining heavily on the way, and the wind and waves were surging on the Tongyuan River, so we had to slow down to ensure the safety of the fleet.

On the night of September 4, the fleet stopped at the center of the river, and continued to enter the range that could be observed in Juyang City, and the landing at night was time-consuming and dangerous, so it was better to wait for midnight and look for the landing site at dawn tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky had just turned white, outside the Giant Sheep City, by the Tongyuan River, shrouded in a mist like a light veil, and the water splashed on the boulders on the shore, desperately splashing into the air, trying to refract the light of the morning sun first.

Due to the activation of the first level of combat readiness, there was no movement on the shore, except for the occasional passing patrol.

A gust of north wind blew, tearing a corner of the already thin mist on the flat river, and the sky turned from black to white and sprinkled the afterglow of the morning sun that had not yet appeared. At the end of the south of the Tongyuan River, the black shadow that appeared at some point became larger, and as the light intensified, the shadowy sail jumped out of the river.

Beep, beep!

A clear whistle sounded near the riverbank, and figures appeared from the shadows in several places, and those men ran out of their hiding places and rushed to the river.

"Who's who? Stop!" a sentry from a nearby watchtower noticed the anomaly.

"Ah, there's a fleet to the south! Archers! Shoot your arrows, don't let those men jump into the river. ”

"Spies! There are spies! Someone is coming, stop them!"

The guards on the shore saw the shadow of the sail in the south, and immediately realized that those people might be spies of their own country.

A few unknown people had already rushed to the river, plunged headlong into the cold water, and swam to the fleet, which was slowly approaching from the south, leaving behind a busy patrol on the shore.

The flagship "Pingbo" that Ji Man, Le Pi and others rode on is the submarine dragon ship that Fei Ze said, a kind of super giant ship.

The submarine dragon is about 100 meters long and nearly 50 meters wide, with three layers in the bow and stern, and three mainsails in the middle. The bow of the ship was carved with a large dragon head with its fangs wide open, and from a distance it looked like a dragon swimming on the water.

Lang Chun appeared on the dragon's head of the flagship, looked at the small black dots swimming in the distance, and then shot like an arrow at the ship at the front.

A sailor ran into the cockpit and reported to Lepi: "This place is more than 400 meters away from the river bank, and the water depth near the shore is insufficient, and the Pingbo can no longer approach the shore, otherwise there is a danger of running aground." ”

"Ordered the ships on the left to continue to approach the shore, looking for landing sites and blocking the two piers in Giant Sheep City, while the ships on the middle and right sides swept upstream, sinking all ships that could be seen. ”

A herald ran up to the deck to convey Lepi's order.

Half an hour later, Lang Chun returned to the handsome cabin and said: "The riverside around Juyang City is full of wooden stakes and stones, and in some places old ships are deliberately scuttled, and it is difficult for medium-sized warships to dock.

Only about twenty miles north of Juyang City, because of the lack of materials, there is no riverbank defense project, which can allow medium-sized warships to dock and moor, where the riverbank extends inward and the terrain is relatively flat, enough to spread out 10,000 or 20,000 horses. ”

"Let's turn to the left flotilla. Ji Man proposed, "The Pingbo will go north to guard against the sailors of the Shaodian Kingdom, and we will get closer to observe the situation in Juyang City. ”

"That's what I mean. "Le Pi helped the case.

The headquarters of the Mihe Jiangzhou Theater was transferred to a large warship, and although the large warship could not dock, it could drive to a distance of more than 100 meters from the shore, and ordinary people could see the shore clearly without the help of equipment.

In the early morning, the giant sheep city was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and scouts from the south continued to rush into the city and rush to the lord's mansion.

A watchtower in the southwest corner, rebuilt from the remaining city walls, is twenty-five meters high and is the tallest building in the vicinity.

Ding Kui, Shaodianluan, Ding Kun, Liu Yu, Fei Ze, Xue Chong, Feng Liang, Liang Chong, Huan Qiao and Li Fei and others came to the watchtower and looked at the rapidly approaching fleet in the distance.

"Is that the Hidden Dragon Ship?" Ding Kui first saw the unusually eye-catching Pingbo, "It's really a giant ship!"

He had seen pictures of aircraft carriers in TV magazines before, but he had never seen a real 10,000-ton ship, at most he had seen a cruise ship that could carry hundreds of people, and it was the first time he had seen a ship as large as the Pinnau.

"There are similar huge ships in our navy, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see them, and my subordinates have been fortunate enough to go to the West Sea and have seen ships similar to that one. Liu Yu pointed to the Pingbo and said.

"The water depth in this area is insufficient, it is difficult for it to exert its combat effectiveness, and a forbidden magic will sink like smashing it. Huan Qiao's expression was natural, although he didn't say it explicitly, but his tone revealed that he had seen such a big ship.

Ding Kui thought to himself: Can you unleash such a large-scale forbidden magic?

However, there was no need for him to be angry with Huan Qiao, and he said: "It can become a small base for the enemy army on the river, and it can also deter the water army of Chunluwan Water Village here, and now the river is their world." ”

"Le Pi will not give up if he does not capture the giant sheep city. "I arrived yesterday.

Zhang Jie is inconvenient to show up, he is Ding Kui's brother and the son of Tianji Hou, and there is every reason to join Ding Kui's side to fight the noble war.

"Such a big battle is definitely not just for Giant Sheep City, your crow's mouth is indeed very sharp. He patted Ding Kui on the shoulder.

"Hmph, I knew that he was not a good person when I saw him before, but I didn't expect that this time he would personally go out to plot against our land. "Shaodian Luan has almost all the information of the Security Bureau, and knows that Ji Man participated in his country's invasion of Juyang City.

"Where will they land?" Feng Liang tried his best to hide the nervousness in his heart, the overwhelming sails meant that there were a large number of enemy troops, and they would definitely not be able to stop the attack of their own people head-on.

Fei Ze took the opportunity to ask Ding Kui: "Do you want to implement Kong Wei's plan?"

Ding Kui nodded, "Trouble Mr. Fei to carry it out, Kong Wei has already led people to practice, and he can't catch up in Hengfu City at this time." ”

"Yes. Fei turned around and walked off the watchtower.

Ding Kui glanced to the north before answering Feng Liang: "The nearby riverside is blocked by the Construction Bureau, and medium-sized ships can only dock on the north side of the Lengshui Slope. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and asked, "Hehe, those spies in the morning were deliberately let go by the lord, right? Otherwise, how would the enemy know that there was a gap in Lengshui Slope?" ”

"Cunning as always. Li Fei muttered, and Shao Dianluan's expression was deeply agreed.

"Hahaha, this is called strategy!" Ding Kui said, pointing to a ship that had just left the Pingbo, "The command of the enemy army has changed ships, and it is estimated that they will come over to greet us." ”

"You can't say hello, at most you can watch from a hundred or a dozen meters away. "Liang Chong should be the person who is most familiar with water warfare on the watchtower," Lao Fei is going to the dock to put a few fires, right? I see Captain Feng leading people to the shore to run, to help Lao Fei. ”

Ding Kui glanced at Liang Chong knowingly, and Chong Fengliang nodded.

"Oh, what a good idea!" Feng Liang also understood, "Then I'll go and bring someone to warm up." ”

After Shaodianluan waited for Feng Liang to leave, he stretched out a finger and poked Ding Kui's waist, and asked quietly: "How can the first team help Mr. Fei when they run by the river?"

"Our aim is to get the enemy to go north and land at Lengshuipo, and as long as the enemy gives up attacking the docks, Mr. Fei's suspicious plan will be considered a success. The first brigade was the elite cavalry brigade, and they ran by the river, and the enemy must have seen it, knowing that we were well prepared near the dock, and most of them would give up attacking the dock. Ding Kui attached himself to Shaodian Luan's ear and explained.

Li Fei came over and pulled Shaodianluan's arm and said, "We don't care how they fight, just cheer for them in the back, you shouldn't get in touch with those conspiracies." ”

"Your Excellency Li Fei is still powerful, I don't know if it's better to be happy or angry when you say that. President Huan, the Magic Guild will withdraw to Hengfu City first, there is no need for magicians today. "Ding Kui has recruited more than a dozen magicians in the past two days, accounting for half of the number of the Magic Guild.
