The attack by the officers and soldiers was ferocious and merciless. In the pouring rain, the eight-niu crossbows placed in the small airtight house exerted their power to the fullest. Countless water thieves ran around shouting and screaming, showing no sign of the invading officers and soldiers.
The heavy rain has soaked the bow strings, and if you can't pull the bow, you can't fight back. The same is true for the leather rope on the trebuchet. A few gangsters drove small fireboats and wanted to burn the official fleet. Every time they went far, they would
The heavy rain soaked the boat completely. In the same color of water and sky, it was impossible to burn people, let alone burn themselves. They could only be shot one by one by the officers and soldiers with crossbows in the violent lake water.
"Abandon the first water stronghold, retreat three miles to avoid the enemy's edge." Liu Fang's orders were continuously passed out, but not many could be implemented. Those people brought by Hanzhe were unruly and unruly. For Liu Fang
His orders were not taken seriously at all. Only the few young gangsters faithfully accepted the order and led their subordinates to get rid of the water thieves who were eager to get out, and slowly retreated to their second water village.
.
"Young Master, one, three, seven, twelve, and four troops broke out of their defenses and attacked the army brazenly. This is a trap. They are going to die. Young Master, please order them to turn back. It's too late.
It’s too late to regret it, the warships of the army are already approaching in a circle, and the first water fort can’t stop their giant boats, please give me the order.”
Seeing that the situation was no longer under his control, Liu Fang could only kneel down on one knee and ask Han Zhe for an order. If he refused, he would have lost more than half of the battle without even fighting it.
Hanzhe chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can just watch. The officers and soldiers are just testing. The heavy rain will also have an impact on them. Even if they have dry bow strings prepared before the attack, they should be wet by now. There are so many of us."
, a few casualties are nothing, let’s see. It would be good if they can take the initiative.”
Liu Fang was stunned for a moment, and immediately closed his mouth. He accompanied Han Zhe on the high platform to look at the war in the distance. His sight was in vain. The silvery water curtain blocked his sight, and he could only hear the water thieves.
They were shouting, but the officers and soldiers were silent. Except for the occasional war drums, no one was shouting. This was even more depressing than shouting for a fierce battle.
Seeing that the first water village was already crowded with pirate ships, a gray-bearded veteran on the official warship nodded and said to the other generals: "That's enough. The heavy rain will stop soon. Let's throw kerosene and burn it."
Get rid of these people. We will go back. The Marquis will not allow us to kill all the water thieves, saying that it will be of great use. It is boring to kill too many enemies like this."
With the sound of a low drum, the trebuchets on the official ship were fully activated. The oilcloth covering them was removed, and the soldiers quickly placed kerosene jars in the baskets. In an instant, countless jars were
They were thrown against the fence of the water village and smashed into pieces. Some jars also jumped over the fence and fell on the dock. Black kerosene mixed with rainwater flowed everywhere. It is common sense for fools not to use fire when it rains.
The stupid actions of the officers and soldiers attracted countless ridicules, and even Han Zhe smiled.
When the ignited fireball was thrown into the water village, the officers and soldiers ignored the results of the battle and immediately sailed away, leaving behind a sea of fire...
Han Zhe's eyes were as cold as water. Liu Fang lowered his head and sighed. The other water thieves were all frightened and at a loss. The rain became lighter and became like mist and smoke. The fireball fell into the water stronghold, and the fire started burning. The first water stronghold
It has become a hell, there is no place to hide, there is no place to hide, the lake is burning, the thick black smoke covers the sky, is pressed down by the high altitude wind, fills the lake, in the billowing black smoke, countless people
The heart-rending sound of choking and coughing came out, which was heart-wrenching.
"Mr. Han, do you know where the officers and soldiers got so much fire oil? I heard that this thing is only found overseas. It is worth a lot of money to transport it to the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away. Why does Yun Ye have so much of it?"
"I don't know, but today it seems that the heavy rain still has a restraining effect on the power of kerosene, but the lethality of these thick smoke is still very powerful, which is very different from the fierce kerosene that I saw."
Hanzhe nodded, waited for the strong wind to blow away the smoke, then pointed to the water village and said helplessly: "Those four people are not suitable to be commanders. You should choose a few from the others and let them be your deputies."
Liu Fang's expressionless response was that he sent Han Zhe away and immediately began to prepare for rescue. The water in the lake fluctuated violently, and soon the large area of oily water surface was shattered into pieces. There were only dots of flames in the water village.
It was burning, but the fire was still blazing on the wooden fence of the water village.
There were many dead bodies floating on the water. The water thieves used hooks to salvage the bodies and piled them on the dock. The four big men in blue who led the assault kept pointing at the bodies and saying something. Their expressions were very natural, without any embarrassment.
, when the fire started just now, they jumped on the boat and left in a hurry. As for how many people died, they didn't care.
Water thieves are also human beings. When they see so many of their companions dead, even if there was no friendship in the past, they still feel like a rabbit has died and a fox has hurt its own kind. When he sees the whip in someone's hand, he dares to be angry and dare not say anything. He has to lower his head and continue to clean up.
corpses and towed away damaged vessels.
Liu Fang came over with four young water thieves and said to the four big men in blue: "This is my order, you and the other four underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. You will be revoked from the command post and replaced by Chen Jia and the other four. You will serve as deputy generals and wait to be dealt with."
The man in blue was stunned for a moment and wanted to get angry, but when he heard that it was the young master's order, he casually handed it over and accepted it. The water thieves who were cleaning the battlefield changed their expressions and continued to work. The four young water thieves
Ignoring the departing man in blue, he directly ordered his subordinates to speed up the cleanup. Now that the sky was showing signs of clearing up, it would definitely be a disaster if the army ship came back again.
Han Zhe didn't care about a defeat on the battlefield. He was checking the preparation progress of Angry Face's corpse in the cave. Sanfengzi was now placed on the stone table like a handicraft. He was completely naked, and all the hair on his body was covered with hair.
The shaved, toned body was coated with sparkling tung oil, showing a bronze beauty. Someone was holding a putty mixed with a bucket of oil, and slowly smoothed the wound area until no scars could be seen.
Hanzhe grabbed a handful of gold powder and tried it. It felt good. Grinding it very finely and adding isinglass, he could apply the gold powder on the body of the corpse. Then he put on clothes and made it into a lotus position to give Yun the powder.
Ye sent it.
Han Zhe looked at the corpse and suddenly remembered an allusion about Yun Ye on Yushan Mountain. When Wei Zheng went to Yun Mansion, Yun Ye was arrogant and rude. He just asked the butler to bring soup and water without enthusiasm. When Wei Zheng said that he came under the emperor's order,
Yes, Yun Ye had no choice but to order the housekeeper to make tea and bring it to him. When he heard Wei Zheng say that he came this time to confer the title of monarch to the old woman of the Yun family, he immediately beamed with joy, ordered a banquet for nine tables, and cooked the best food himself.
Wei Zheng was treated to tea. Before Wei Zheng left, he jokingly said: Why are you so arrogant in front of you and so respectful in the back? Yun Ye said: What a difference, what a difference.
At first, I just wanted to kill Yun Ye, but I didn't expect that until now, I didn't get any advantage, but suffered a big loss. I had to keep raising Yun Ye's status, so that now he is on an equal footing with me.
To the point. This approach is similar to the allusion of Yun Ye entertaining Wei Zheng. Han Zhe finds it very interesting. He and Yun Ye are so similar. If it weren't for damn Bai Yujing, the two of them should be good friends. Together
It would be such an interesting thing to cause harm to this colorful world.
The heavy rain stopped for a moment, and then began to pour endlessly, as if the Tianhe River was leaking. The sporadic flames on the wooden fence finally couldn't withstand the raging rain, and gradually extinguished. After a puff of green smoke appeared,
Completely annihilated.
The young leader of the water thieves, naked to the waist, led the water thieves in the heavy rain to rush to repair the camp. Although the work was hard, they did not complain and just thought about building these life-saving defenses.
Junshan is a good place. The Yun family has long planned to plant tea here. The climate here is humid, warm, cloudy, rainy and foggy, making it the most ideal place for tea planting. The Yun family now has no shortage of tea, only high-quality tea.
Yun Ye said that Junshan is a place to grow good tea. Of course Liu Fang believed that shipyards, wharves, residences, warehouses, and flat ground were all needed in the future. Filling in the lagoon was also the right thing to do. After all, there were mosquitoes in the lagoon.
Too much.
The water thieves had no objection to Liu Fang's command. After all, every work was done to make their lives more comfortable. Since the lagoon was filled in, there were suddenly fewer mosquitoes on the island.
At night, people need to cover their faces with gauze, and the food is also improving. The military advisor said that the island must be cleared for farmland. In the future, after farmers are captured from Yuezhou, they will be allowed to farm on the island to grow food for everyone.
If the imperial army blocks the lake, I and others will not starve to death.
All these things Liu Fang did fell into Han Che's eyes. He couldn't understand why Mr. Han Da, a rare wise man, managed this desert island so stupidly? The imperial court could seal the lake, could it?
Don’t you know how to capture this island? The advantage of the bandits is that they are erratic, making it difficult for the government to guard against them. This is useless. It is simply putting shackles on yourself. It can only be described as being so powerful that it makes you stupid. But that’s okay, an ambitious man
It's not a bad thing to have subordinates.
Some old thieves even secretly reclaimed a small piece of land for themselves, hoping that the leader would reward them with this land. For such a thing, Liu Fang encouraged the old thieves even more and vowed to tell the old thieves
, As long as Junshan is still in his hands, whoever cultivates these lands will belong to him, no matter what.
Yuezhou is opening up wasteland for farming, and the water thieves are also fervently leveling the land. Although everyone knows that a war is imminent, people on both sides are preparing for their future.
After Yun Ye heard about this incident, he strictly ordered the Lingnan Navy not to destroy it anymore. It was all his own property, and the only ones who were damaged or damaged were himself. (To be continued...)
