Chapter Forty-Eight: Diving into the Water Camp
The Sailor Yamen was not built in the Lou Ship Division, which managed the boat affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, after all, the sea disaster that year, the Lou Ship Division was almost infiltrated into a sieve, and played a rather disgraceful role in the first few failed battles of Qinghai Sea.
And it is precisely because of this that Hong Dashuai, who was famous for suppressing bandits in the southeast, rebuilt the water division in Jiuhu and placed another official office on it.
Kou Li looked at the naval battalion not far away, and frowned, the location of the Nine Lakes is dangerous, the north is close to the cliff, the south is the sea outlet, and it is surrounded by high walls and thick walls.
This kind of weapon, long-range may not be comparable to the bow and arrow, but within five to ten zhang, the power is far more powerful than the bow and crossbow, and there is already the prototype of modern firearms.
"The brothers in the clan told me that the black-faced male was so happy that he sent someone to escort a bunch of strange seafood, and was ready to wait for the bribes to be bribed everywhere when the official was sealed, and the brothers in the clan would take the opportunity to help us get in, and then we would see the opportunity to act-"
"There are footsteps, no, there are too many!"
Just as the crocodile boy was talking about the plan excitedly, Kou Li suddenly interrupted, giving the other three a wary look.
Sure enough, after half a pillar of incense, a large pile of torches lit up, and around Xu Min and his party, there were actually a large number of officers and soldiers, walking with tigers and tigers, and their demeanors were fierce, which was difficult to see among most of the southern officers and soldiers.
"Admiral... Chief Officer of Water... Shen," the mad swordsman Chu San stared at the official card with the help of the firelight, and read it out in a low voice, his eyes suddenly opened, "Admiral of the Water Division!"
The position of admiral can be said to be the highest military attache in the locality, especially in the special boundary and special node of Yuezhou, the admiral of the sailor can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, I don't know how many wealthy businessmen and nobles are desperately looking for a way to curry favor, how can they come here in person for a group of mud-legged Zhao'an.
What's more critical is that in the midst of such a large number of officers and soldiers, how could the four of them sneak in with the convenience of Xu Min.
"Impossible, the eagle claw grandson surnamed Shen is not notoriously arrogant, how can he be invited by the black-faced male," the crocodile boy flashed with an abnormal flush on his face, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited.
Admiral Shen Bing, a great hero of Qinghai Sea, is not only good at war, warlike, but also murderous, absolutely murderous, not only merciless to pirates, even unfavorable officers in battle, he beheaded not a hundred but also eighty, in order to ensure the tactics of the clear field, dozens of villages near the sea, tens of thousands of people who rely on the sea to eat, were driven ashore, and those who refused to accept it were immediately slaughtered and exterminated.
On the coast, the name of the Shen Demon King is even louder than that of some vicious sea thieves.
How could he be so famous here?
"It's very likely that it's for the undersea gold," the ghost shadow Wu Ying said gloomily, "In the end, he actually gave Zhu Baozai that old thief!"
"Submarine gold, isn't that a legend?" Chu San exclaimed.
Wu Ying spread his hands, most of his ten fingers were cut off, and some of the bones and stubble were exposed, and he sneered: "You know how I, the number one thief in the southeast, was caught by the Water Dragon Gang back then, just for that treasure map of undersea gold." ”
Submarine gold, is the most famous legend in Lingnan since the opening of the sea, to the effect that an ordinary fisherman went out to sea to fish, in a hundred years of rare storm, was swept into the deep sea, lost in the sea for seven days and seven nights, the water and food were exhausted, dying, but at this moment, there appeared in front of a large whirlpool, the vortex is turbulent, even people and boats, inhaled together.
I don't know how long it took for the fishermen to wake up, only to find that the mountains under the sea are actually made of pure gold, and in the middle of the ridge, there are several well-shaped sea caves that are constantly spitting out gold juice, which is the gold under the sea.
And the fisherman, after a great deal of hard work, finally left the bottom of the sea, and with the gold nuggets he carried, he also became the richest man on the coast.
Kou Li's eyes flickered, he, like most people, thought that this was just an exaggerated legend of the gold rush in Guangdong, but if it was true, the seabed, the golden well, and the whirlpool, this unusual combination seemed to be explained only by the miracle.
Miracles.
"Oh no, they're going!"
As the suspension bridge was pulled high, the four of them watched as the group of people led Xu Min into the camp of the sailors, which was garrisoned by at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.
"The man is gone!" shouted Ghost Shadow and Kou Li at the same time.
In Kou Li's strengthened sight, the bright and dark posts around the camp were all withdrawn after the Admiral of the Navy Division entered, except for the two officers and soldiers in charge of the suspension bridge, at this moment, it was the moment when the defense was the most lax.
"It's a pity, if it was still back then, my shadow step method would definitely be able to wade through the river, so that the other party couldn't even see the figure," the corner of the ghost shadow's mouth twitched, in his body style, the sole of the foot is the most important point of force, but in the cloth shoes, the two thumbs are empty, the original Dacheng's body method, the speed has dropped by at least half, at this time, the river will inevitably splash the sound of waves.
Kou Li glanced at the other party, the fist covers punches, palms, feet, claws, knees, elbows and other kinds of luck play, but only the body method is the rarest, because it involves the operation of the skin and flesh fascia of the whole body, which is very complicated, but the skin refining in the four major refining, the unique strength of the light gong body method is the most necessary.
"I'll go!" Kou Li said without hesitation.
"You!?"
"You're not as good as me," the ghost shadow said coldly.
"I didn't say I want to compare myself to you," Kou Li took off his shirt, took a deep breath, and made a few frog cries in his abdomen, accumulating qi and blood, swollen like a pregnant woman, and sank to the bottom of a nearby lake with a light dive.
The night is like ink, and the smoked lake water is depressed and condensed, like a high-quality inkstone, only a little tortoise pokes outside the lake, destroying the quiet beauty.
Jiuhu is half an artificial lake, the area was not large back then, Hong Dashuai made this into a naval battalion, almost requisitioned all the people within a radius of 100 miles, dug mountains and opened the sea, spent three years in the six southeastern provinces to pay taxes, and all kinds of materials were smashed without money, which expanded Jiuhu into a naval base that can now open hundreds of warships.
Therefore, from the position of the four people to the camp of the water division, it looks like a lake, but it is not deep, and there are many rivers, which are for the purpose of running materials, and the idea of the ghost shadow is to use the barriers between the rivers to move and break through the camp.
And Kou Li, since he dived into the water, he has never surfaced at all for a full stick of incense.
"He, dead?" Chu San said hoarsely, because even if he was as fierce as them, with a strong lung capacity, he could only hold back half a column of incense at most, and if he didn't breathe, he would also be drowned.
"No, the other party is a master of internal boxing, this kind of character can not only be lucky, but also breathe in the dantian, so the time to persist underwater is far stronger than ours!"
The two soldiers were bored, looking back with envy from time to time, although the reputation of the Shen Demon King in the folk and officialdom is not good, but he is a well-known lover of soldiers, the first sentence when he came here was 'Today's good wine and good meat, there is no reason for pirates to eat, brothers can't eat.'" ’
Although because of this, the defense strength has weakened, but no one takes it seriously, the big news of pirates attacking officers and soldiers, ten years ago, maybe it would have happened, but five years ago, more than 50 miles offshore, no pirates dared to begin, so many heads were killed, and hundreds of sea guards on the coast were not furnished.
And what is the name of this Zhao'an banquet, in fact, everyone knows very well, Zhu Baozai, the old thief, can't gnaw hard bones, and he has to set up a memorial arch to be a bitch, I am afraid that he attaches more importance to this matter than the officers and soldiers, and will not allow any overseas forces to sabotage.
"I really want to drink some wine," muttered one of the officers and soldiers, and then he was suddenly stunned, and in the rippling water, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him, those eyes, fierce, animalistic, cold, like water ghosts in the near sea.
The moment those eyes peeked out of the water, it heralded his death.
Kou Li, just in case, at the moment when he pinched the first person to death, his five toes collapsed, his body was like a tiger, and at the same time he pounced on the second person, pulled his wrist and twisted his arm, and the tiger turned into a human form, and the first mouth came out of the opponent's throat, making the other party unable to make a sound.
However, the officer and soldier also seemed to have some doorways, at the moment of life and death, he gritted his teeth, his body fell down violently, making a backward step and falling horse pose, his right elbow was inserted, and he held Kou Li's shoulder socket, and the other elbow stepped on his foot and poked, smashing Kou Li's stomach from an angle that Kou Li couldn't see, mixed with rotational energy.
This is called a heartwarming cannon in the southern fist, and an elbow gun in the northern fist, which is the knowledge of killing people on the battlefield, which will be smashed, and the stomach and intestines will be smashed for the first time, even if there is iron armor, it will immediately lose its combat effectiveness.
However, after Kou Li practiced the Qi Penetration Method, his whole body reacted more keenly, and he played a fight, with a muffled sound, a tiger style, and a bullet to the corner of the wall, not only blocking the view, but also unloading the opponent's energy, and even with the help of the impact of the wall, the tiger played lice, shook all over, and scattered the opponent's bone joints at once, taking this opportunity, the five fingers were like hooks, and with a 'click' sound, the other party hung his head softly.
There was a commotion not far away, and Kou Li turned his head to look, but saw that at some point, the ghost shadow had already stripped off the cloth armor of another corpse, and was nodding to himself.
Sure enough, it's a ghost shadow, so fast!
Kou Li did the same, even if the light and dark posts were removed, the patrols of the officers and soldiers would notice the difference here, and they had to race against time.
However, his forearm suddenly became sore, and Kou Li looked down, and it was actually a faint bruise, although it was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the opponent's punch was at least at the level of entry.
"The way of the soldier to kill the fist, sure enough, has begun to spread, and the actions of the imperial court over the years are really not small," the ghost shadow sneered.
"Killing boxing," Kou immediately thought of the assassination punch that the senior brother had told him at the beginning, the dark fist is one kind, and the killing fist is another, but for the latter, the senior brother seems to be taboo.
Soldiers, killing boxing, in this way, killing boxing is the fist that is circulated in the imperial court within the official army, it is more ferocious and more murderous, just like the art of weapons back then.
The main reason why boxing was abandoned in ancient times was that it was 'not beneficial to the big war', no matter how high the boxing technique was, it could not withstand the rain of arrows from horses, so it was always considered a chicken rib, until it was fused with Taoist Dandao and created the four major refinements, and it began to shine again.
And if today's boxing is fused with the art of weapons and spread, it will be too terrifying, just imagine, tens of thousands of boxers, even if it is only the level of entry, wearing iron armor weapons, and the fighting style is more fierce and fierce, just like the torrent of iron armor, drowning everything.
Can the power of the rivers and lakes around the world really resist it?
