Chapter 47: Water Battle at Luoxian Lake
The emperor's side was fine for the time being, and the tall ship was still sailing towards the lake.
The first set of fireworks on the shore has been set off, and everyone is on standby without anyone ordering them, and no one dares to make any arbitrary decisions.
On the lake, the small boat driven by the Royal Forest Army and the ship on Prince Juncheng's side first exchanged bows and crossbows. When they got closer, the two sides jumped on the side of the boat and fought hard. Prince Juncheng looked like a weak scholar, and at this moment he waved his double swords.
He rushed forward without showing any signs of weakness. He jumped onto a small boat, raised the knife in his hand, and cut down several people one after another. Unexpectedly, the last person left deliberately pulled the side of the boat and made the boat rock. The prince Yucheng staggered a few times on the small boat.
, the man took the opportunity to thrust his spear out, hitting Jucheng in the left arm. Jucheng endured the severe pain and cut off the man's head with a knife, and kicked the body into the lake.
"Your Highness, be careful. Please retreat and rest first." Fan Lixin stepped forward to protect him.
The prince gritted his teeth and pulled out the tip of the spear, threw away the spear, took off his robe and wrapped it around the wound, picked up the two knives and said: "It's okay, don't worry about me, just follow the plan."
Fan Lixin looked at the battlefield and knew that these ships alone could not stop the building ships. He took out a xun from his arms, put it to his lips and blew it, making a "wuwu" sound. The sound was not high but very penetrating.
.
Not long after, three battleships came from a distance under the cover of night. Each battleship was three stories high, with a parapet on the side of the ship. The deck was laid on the parapet at the same height, and there was another parapet on the deck, and so on.
Third floor. On the parapet of each floor, there are armored soldiers standing ready.
The fighting ships were fast, and the imperial troops on the small boats in the lake were already exhausted. They fell to pieces under the impact of the fighting ships and were quickly exhausted. After the imperial troops on the lake were eliminated, the three fighting ships rushed towards the tower ship at the same time.
The battleship was tall, and the crossbowmen on it were shooting down from above. The people on the fighting ship could only avoid it or hold up their shields to resist. There were gun holes on both sides of the fighting ship, and only the oars were visible, but no one was there, and the men were inside.
Paddling as hard as possible without being affected by the crossbow arrows.
After resisting several rounds of arrows that filled the sky, the three fighting ships approached the building ship. The side of the building ship was exactly level with the top of the fighting ship. The fighting ships rushed over at the same time and crashed into the building ship.
The ship shook violently, and the people on it fell forward and backward. The emperor was no exception and fell to one side. The ancient sage had quick hands and quick eyes. He first stepped on his horse to steady himself, and held the dragon chair with one hand to ensure the emperor's safety.
Under the violent impact, the hull of the building ship was dented. Fortunately, the keel was not damaged and it could continue sailing. After the Imperial Guards behind the parapet of the building ship got up, they fired another crossbow and arrows, but the fighting ship and the building ship were already tightly attached to each other.
Together, the people in the fighting ship were hiding underneath, no matter how dense the arrows were, there was nothing they could do.
After a round of arrows, the people in the fighting ship went up to the top floor with their shields, preparing to board the deck of the building. The Imperial Guards on the building were not to be outdone, and the two sides fought in a melee. Although the Imperial Guards were large in number, the number of those who came up from the fighting ships was small.
Relying on his physical strength and superior martial arts, he gained the upper hand. Seeing that the Royal Guards on the deck slowly dwindled, they all retreated to the ship to defend themselves. The Queen who was watching the battle above grabbed Wen Zhe's arm and worriedly said: "What should we do? Will they?
Will they all attack?" After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the emperor resentfully.
Wen Zhe snorted coldly, turned around and ordered: "Play the drum."
The drum beat loudly, resounding through the sky.
The people watching on the shore had already seen that this was an internal dispute between the imperial court. The timid ones ran away early for fear of getting into trouble, while the bold ones still stood and watched from a distance. There was a melee in the lake, and neither the Royal Forest Army nor other sects on the shore could help.
If you are busy, stay where you are and watch the changes.
Amidst the sound of drums, more than a dozen warships sailed out of the reed swamp. The warships were smaller than fighting ships. The entire hull was wrapped in rawhide and other materials. There were small windows at the front, rear, left and right, so that they could be easily connected with the firing of crossbows and the throwing of spears.
Although the boat was small, it had many sailors, so its speed was even faster, as if it was sliding along the surface of the lake and heading straight towards the fighting ship.
Everyone on the deck of the big ship was worried that the fighting ship would be captured, so they did not dare to fight and returned to the fighting ship. The Royal Forest Army regained control of the deck, and the big ship continued to sail slowly towards the center of the lake.
The fighting ship has the advantage in terms of size, but its speed is not as good as that of the fighting ship. In addition, the fighting ship is covered with an outer layer of protection, so even using a crossbow will not help. Instead, the people in the fighting ship hide inside and fire cold arrows, causing the people on the fighting ship to
Tired of dealing with it, more than ten battleships surrounded the fighting ship, and soon they were separated, leaving the three fighting ships fighting independently and unable to rely on each other.
Prince Juncheng commanded the boat to go over to help. Unexpectedly, the boat controlled by the Punishment Department came up and the two ships were parallel. The people on the Punishment Department's boat threw flying tiger claws and hooked the sides of the ship, tightly connecting the two ships. Prince Juncheng held the hand
The soldier with two swords rushed over. After he chopped down the two people, the cold wind hit him. Juncheng stepped back quickly, and a big knife fell against the tip of his nose. Juncheng raised the knife with his backhand and slashed at the man's wrist.
He didn't dodge, he raised his foot and kicked him, hitting him squarely in the chest. With an "ouch", he fell back to the deck of his ship.
Fan Lixin rubbed his body, and a pair of Emei thorns were stabbed in two directions. The man's broadsword turned to block the backhand sweep, and the broadsword made the tiger fierce, preventing Fan Lixin from getting close.
The Minister of Punishment stood upstairs watching the battle. He ordered: "No matter who the opponent is, they will be killed and no one will be left alive." He was staring down, but unexpectedly an arrow was shot from a distance. He heard the movement and looked up, and the arrow hit the target.
The left eye fell backward with a sound of "ah".
In the melee, no one knew what might happen. The Minister of Punishment fell down, and the man who wielded the sword was a little panicked. He wanted to go up to check the injury, but was entangled by Fan Lixin and couldn't get away. At this time, the prince Juncheng rushed over again, and the two of them were in front of each other.
Attack from behind. Youdao is a good man who can't be defeated by four hands. A pair of Emei thorns and two swords are always on the left and right, making him vulnerable to attacks on both sides. An Emei thorn was accidentally pierced in his lower abdomen. He just raised the big knife, and the single sword of Ju Cheng had already hit the back force.
Immediately his head was in a different place.
When Juncheng and Fan Lixin arrived upstairs, the Minister of Punishment was still lying on the ground wailing. Fan Lixin and others came forward to kill him.
The teams of the prince Juncheng and the Minister of Civil Affairs merged, and all the ships attacked the ship together. The opponent's original advantage was immediately reversed. Although the ship was fast, the fighting ships threw various earthen jars filled with oil, and the jars were on the ship.
The rawhide wrapped on the outside rolled over, and more or less the oil inside would pour on it. The prince Juncheng fired arrows with matchsticks on the arrow shafts one after another. The arrow clusters penetrated the rawhide covered by the cockroach, and the cowhide caught fire.
The rear cockroaches were like huge stoves. People inside had no time to jump out, and they were all burned into fireballs. Even those who managed to escape would immediately become targets for everyone outside. Seeing that the situation was not good, other cockroaches did not dare to get too close, so they had to stay away.
They made a long detour and were forced to retreat steadily.
Gu Shengchao stood on a high place and looked far away. He was happy to see victory in sight. He suddenly noticed something strange on the deck under his feet. He raised his foot and took a step back. A curved blade suddenly appeared where he was standing. His reaction was a little slow, and the soles of his feet
It would be pierced. Gu Shengchao didn't have time to protect his body with the iron arm magical power, so he retreated continuously. The opponent seemed to be able to guess where Gu Shengchao was standing. Every time he took a step back, the curved blade would appear there. He jumped high.
He stood up and put his hands on the purlin above his head.
Although the iron arm magic skill is good, unless it comes to a critical moment, the ancient sage Chao will not easily try to confront the sharp blade head-on. If the opponent holds an ancient treasure, he will be seriously injured or killed, and there will be no chance to repent.
There will be.
Legend has it that the sword skill of Phoenix Dance is the best in the Dawu Dynasty. The most important factor is the Phoenix Dance Phoenix Sword. It is said that it was caused by flint falling from the sky before. It happened to hit the cliff and shattered, smashing an entire mountain out.
A deep pit. The craftsmen collected the essence of meteorite iron all over the mountains and fields. It took them 7,749 days to make a steel billet, and it took another 6,636 days to build this heaven-defying artifact. It is absolutely unbeatable.
, it’s a pity that it was lost prematurely and became a legend.
The deck under Gu Shengchao's feet shattered, and a man jumped out from it, holding two swords in his hands. He was covered in black robes, and his face was painted black so that his true appearance could not be seen. The scimitar in his hand was even brighter.
It was special, short and curved, as if he was afraid of not being able to reach the opponent. The scimitar flashed with cold light and slashed towards the legs of the ancient saint Chao.
Ancient Sage Chao was horrified. He thought he had superior perception ability. The deck of the building ship was not close together. The positions of many people below could be sensed from their respective auras, but he did not notice the existence of this person. Gu Sage Chao saw the opponent coming.
He was so fierce that he circled around the beam and fell down. The black-faced man missed one blow and then struck again, splitting the beam above his head into two pieces. Fortunately, the overall structure was not damaged, and the beam naturally hung down and the roof did not collapse.
The black-faced man swung his sword at Gu Shengchao from head to toe. Gusheng Chao's iron arms protected his body. He passed the blade and cut the black-faced man's wrist with both hands. The black-faced man was skilled in swordsmanship and twisted the scimitar backwards to attack Gusheng Chao.
The palm of his hand was stabbed. Gu Shengchao had no choice but to step aside and step aside to avoid its sharp edge. The black-faced man did not stop after landing, and the two scimitars rotated in the palm of his hand and swung towards Gu Shengchao. The scimitar rotated at an astonishing speed, like water.
The rotating wooden shaft under the mill was washed away by the torrent, and it was impossible to see where the blade was.
Gu Shengchao did not dare to direct his attack, and let go of the opponent's edge to attack his back and abdomen from the side. The black-faced man seemed to have the advantage when he went straight.
The man in the opponent's back suddenly knelt on the ground with one leg. The black-faced man expected that Gu Shengchao would definitely attack from behind, so he hurriedly turned around and threw a scimitar.
The scimitar made a clanging sound and struck Gu Shengchao's chest. He quickly lowered his head and got out of the way. The black-faced man took the opportunity to stand up and slashed the scimitar in his hand toward Gu Shengchao's head. Gu Shengchao retreated again, and his remaining
Guang noticed that the spiraling scimitar turned in a big circle, and its final target turned out to be the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. The emperor's big eyes stared at the scimitar in horror, and he wanted to hold the two with both hands.
He stood up with his hands on his side, but his whole body was shaking and he had no strength to move at all.
Ancient Sage Chao was horrified. He wanted to seize the whirling scimitar, but he had to kill the black-faced man first, but the opponent's sword skills were weird and it was impossible to win with one move. At the critical moment, Gu Sage Chao no longer hesitated, and he used a real
The Five Soul Formation, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal, changed their positions in an instant. The five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, and the black-faced man and the rotating scimitar are restrained in place. It's just ancient
Sheng Chao was not very skilled in using it, and the black-faced man could still move, as if he was trapped in the thick mud and moved slowly, and the scimitar moved towards the emperor at a speed that could be seen.
Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand to hold the scimitar, turned around and put his left hand on the black-faced man's chest, and was about to stab him with the scimitar in his right hand.
However, where Gu Shengchao's left hand touched was a soft mass, he was shocked.
