As if knowing that the answer he gave was unsatisfactory, the black-robed eccentric coughed twice, and then said: "Water bandits and drought bandits across the river system, and green forest heroes in the rivers and lakes, may all be against my son. Miss, do it. Although Brother Ye was born in a merchant and doesn't often get involved in martial arts, he should also know that there are eighteen water villages in the northern river system. Ships from south to horses from the north. In the water system in the south, there are even more water villages of green forest water bandits. For example. It’s just that within the scope of this impoverished Longhu Lake, there is a gang of underworld giants, the Green Forest Gang, who is at odds with the Eight Great Families.”
"Oh? I don't know which gang it is?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
"It's the Suolong Club. It is a famous bandit and bandit with power all over the Dragon Lake. The head of the Suolong Club, Shi Tianheng, is the younger brother of Shi Tianbao, the head of the Xiangxi Pai Gang. Shi Tianheng is cruel and cold. Because of his hard work in martial arts in his early years, Therefore, the development of the gang is not as large and stable as its elder brother, but it is extremely fierce in terms of martial arts.
Such a person was chased all the way from Suzhou to Sichuan by the 'Sword Demon' Beiming Wudi because he robbed the merchant ships of the Eight Great Families. He lost an eye and finally survived. I heard that the martial arts has achieved great success recently, and the power has expanded rapidly, and because his brother Shi Tianbao was recently assassinated by Ye Qingxuan, the most famous master of the younger generation, most of the forces under his command were taken over by Shi Tianheng, which made his power expand several times in an instant. The two heroes, the Chijiao Gang and the Longjiang Society, are now courteous to three points. Now that we are preparing to take revenge on the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, do you think such a person will stand idly by if they hear about us? "
Ye Qingxuan gave a wry smile, and silently recited "Shi Tianbao, Shi Tianheng" in his heart, hum, damn it, it's really a narrow road to enemies.
"Are you sure they'll hear that you're here?"
The black-robed man shook his head, "Who can say? Maybe the assassin yesterday was the master Shi Tianheng sent to inquire about the news, maybe, hehe, it's even possible that the person who came was the rest of the eight great families... also said Not sure, hehehe..."
Fortunately, you can still laugh!
The sound of a ship breaking through the water came from behind. Ye Qingxuan looked back and saw a large double-decker ship with white sails sailing past the waves.
Such big boats abound on the river, and their speed is far faster than the boats that Ye Qingxuan and others took.
As soon as the other party's ship approached, everyone on board became nervous at the same time, looking like they were ready for battle. When the other party's ship passed by from the side, the busy boatman on the ship could clearly be seen. The boatman laughed loudly and was very arrogant.
It wasn't until the opponent's ship passed by that our own personnel breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their vigilance.
Hearing a nervous breath from the black-robed stranger next to him, Ye Qingxuan's mood was extremely bad, and he turned to Elder Hei and said, "Get ready to fight, the master is here!"
Hei Lao was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Qingxuan smiled bitterly, pointed to the building boat that had just passed by and said: "The ship just now was an outpost, and it passed by just now, just to check our reaction and the number of combat personnel. The waterway ahead is narrow, it is a surprise attack Great place...”
"How do you know? I saw that it was just an ordinary merchant ship!" The black-robed strange man had seen that ship just now, and didn't see any problems.
Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This place is a waterway and trade route, and Changlong Mansion is rich in specialties. Even merchant ships that transport goods here are willing to carry some goods back to sell when they leave. Look at that On the river, any ship of any size is full of cargo and has a deep draft, have you ever seen such a merchant ship running the waterway empty?"
The strange man in black was at a loss for words, and was shocked by Ye Qingxuan's fine insight.
"Raise the sails, prepare for battle!" Ye Qingxuan's angry roar sounded at the right time, and the boat immediately became a mess.
Jiang Shuihan's furious roar followed, and the warriors around immediately took control of the whole ship, including the ordinary sailor who was originally on the boat, with the knife resting on his neck, forcing him to obey.
The whole ship stabilized immediately.
After all, it is not a warship, the quality of the personnel on board is too poor, just a water bandit and panicked!
Just after the reorganization was completed, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the river not far away, and as many as twenty-six sloops gathered and surrounded them like a fan.
The twenty-six fast boats surrounding them seemed to be in disarray at first glance, but they were actually divided into three groups, with nine ships in each group on the left and right wings, and only eight ships in the group slightly lowered in the middle, but the two-masted ship just now Impressively on the list.
The black-robed stranger greatly appreciated Ye Qingxuan's judgment, but at the same time he was depressed, and the tense atmosphere in front of the station made him extremely unhappy.
Especially when the ship on the opposite side hangs a dragon bound by chains, the black-robed strange man cursed even more.
Ye Qingxuan also sighed helplessly: Hey, Cao Cao is really here after talking about Cao Cao...
"I'll leave the above situation to Brother Ye, and I still need to protect the young lady!" When the words fell, the black-robed man had turned over and flew into the painting boat on the third floor.
There were bursts of drumming from the twenty-six fast boats, and the oars protruding from both sides of the boats beat water like flying, and rushed towards the boat like an arrow off the string.
Among all the brothers, only Jiang Shuihan from the Great River League is good at water warfare, and immediately took over the responsibility of dispatching in the middle, but even if he is good at water warfare, this painting boat is just a sightseeing boat, and the speed of the boat is extremely slow, and it is impossible to launch effective countermeasures , was quickly seized a favorable position by the enemy ship, retracted the oars, and only relying on the undercurrent in the river, the clipper rushed over quickly, retaining plenty of physical strength for the combatants on board.
The enemy rushed forward so blatantly, the brothers didn't have to guard everywhere, after all, although the boat was big, it was still within their control range, and they didn't have to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, this battle was actually easier.
Everyone stood side by side on the deck of the ship, looking at the enemy clippers from far to near.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was ten arrows away, and a horn sounded. The speed of the eight ships in the middle slowed down a bit, while the two groups of ships on both sides immediately accelerated, pinching towards the middle like a crab's claws.
Meng Yuanjun saw the other party's attacking posture, and his own side was about to fall into a passive position of being beaten, so he couldn't help asking anxiously: "What should we do now? We can't catch up if we chase, and we can't dodge, isn't it passive and be beaten?"
Jiang Shuihan looked at the fast approaching enemy ship. His own side had already entered the attack range of the opponent's bow and arrow, but the opponent's speed did not slow down, and he still charged straight up. He couldn't help but snorted softly, and said: "The enemy looks down on us too much Now, water warfare should be based on bows and arrows and throwing stones. After consuming and suppressing the enemy's courage, they can fight side by side. Therefore, the best method of warfare is to shoot arrows around the boat, especially rockets. Burn the boat and force us to jump into the lake , but the enemy rushed forward so blatantly, obviously they didn't take our strength seriously. Most likely, they didn't expect that there would be more people like us here to help. It's just right... I was also worried that they would sink the boat and catch us... Now, after the opponent approaches, we will attack and sink these Clippers.”
Everyone suddenly agreed.
The sound of shouting and killing on the boat was already heard clearly.
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, his heart was like a clear mirror that stilled water, his extremely quiet Taoist heart was spotless, and his whole spirit was as clear as a mirror.
The opponent's real master should be on the eight boats in the middle.
At this time, the enemy ships on both sides were already in front of them, and there were twelve strong men at each bow, moving oars like flying, approaching quickly.
The rockets are all on the bowstring, ready to go.
Finally in range.
"put!"
There was a sound of drinking, the sound of the bowstring being straightened, and the sound of "chi chi" arrows were endless.
The group of fast boats on the right shot more than a hundred flaming arrows into the sky of Kunlong Lake. The burning arrows carried a trail of black smoke and shot mercilessly at this beautiful painting boat. Unfortunately, it was daytime and could not Appreciate this terrifying and beautiful fire rain as if it were night.
"Defend against arrows!" Zheng Yunbiao in the crowd shouted an order.
Dozens of guards and boatmen who temporarily formed a shield formation with various tall tables, chairs and benches in the periphery raised up their belongings and tried their best to resist the flying rockets.
But the crowd on the deck of the ship didn't even look at it, and the sporadic arrows flying towards them were all deflected by the protective qi, so they didn't have the slightest effect.
After the first wave of arrows rained, Zheng Yunbiao immediately shouted: "Extinguish the fire!"
The guards who had been prepared for a long time immediately took out the soaked quilt, directly covered the burning place, and extinguished the fire source.
Since the enemy's first wave of rockets was aimed at the people on the deck of the ship, it did not cause a big fire and was quickly extinguished. Only one unlucky boatman on Ye Qingxuan's side was shot in the butt by the rocket, and the rest waited, and no one was injured.
Not long after the first wave of arrow rain ended, another group of archers on the left had already opened their bows and fired arrows, grabbing the gap for the personnel on the ship's deck to put out the fire.
"Get away!"
Meng Yuanjun jumped over the crowd, and the "Tianji Stick" in his hand created a whirlwind, and the sound of tinkling was endless, and more than half of the rockets flying in the air were knocked away by it.
It was also thanks to Meng Yuanjun's unparalleled lightness skills, and the opponent's arrows also wanted to be concentrated so that there was no danger.
It seems that the enemy's awareness of water warfare should not be underestimated.
It's a pity that I made a strategic mistake—there are not only two juniors from the Eight Great Aristocratic Families on board...
"kill!"
The enemy finally arrived in front of the painting boat, hooked and quickly flew onto the painting boat, the figures surged, and the enemy began to attack...
"kill!"
This time the violent drinking came from Ye Qingxuan's side.
Several figures flew up and rushed towards the enemy's clipper...
A golden and red shooting star drew a beautiful arc in midair, and then smashed down towards a fast boat with devastating power.
Before you have time to react to the masters on the boat, boom!
With a loud noise, a huge hole was smashed into the clipper boat full of more than 30 people, and the clipper boat was instantly broken into two pieces. fell into the water.
As soon as Monk Ruhua made a move, it exploded beyond the imagination of normal people.
It didn't take long for this roar to fall, and there was another loud noise...
Next to the two fast boats, a group of golden and red meteors flew up from the bottom of the lake, penetrated the bottom of the boat, and jumped into the air. Then there was another wild laugh, and the fireball fell again, blowing the poor boat to the ground. The clipper was smashed into a heap of wooden splinters, and its crew, no doubt, were scattered over the water like ants blown away.
The same scene happened from time to time on other ships around. Although everyone's performance was not as violent and shocking as Ruhua, the speed of cleaning was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
On the Clippers on the left and right sides, although there are many good players from the Suolong Club, facing the attack of this group of innate masters is tantamount to a mantis holding a chariot, and it takes a few breaths to lose.
With a wave of both hands, Ye Qingxuan swept the last three players on the clippers into the lake. Looking left and right, the attacking boats on both sides had completely lost their offensive capabilities under the blows of the crowd, and none of them could charge. On the deck of the painting boat.
Looking at the eight fast boats that were still calm in the distance, Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth secretly, and moved his legs violently, the whole fast boat immediately fell apart and turned into pieces. On the small boat at the back of the boat, the Gang Qi was activated, and the small boat rushed outward, but Ye Qingxuan used his supreme internal force to push the water, and rushed towards the enemy with the small boat...
The figure flashed, and Wan Guotaijin landed on the bow of the boat angrily, and shouted: "Seventh brother, I will help you!"
The Qinglong Yanyue knife slammed on the deck of the ship, and the speed of the boat increased by three points, accelerating towards the enemy!
Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, it is better to take the initiative to annihilate the enemy's main force on the enemy's ship!
Apparently, Ye Qingxuan was not the only one who had this kind of thinking, but within a breath, three small boats galloped behind him, none of them relying on the sailors, they only rely on their internal force to drive the fast boats, rushing towards the enemy. It's just that their speed and position are a bit behind Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan looked ahead, using his supreme senses to experience the ubiquitous power in the river, cleverly using many undercurrents to continuously increase the speed of the boat, and at the same time greatly reduce the consumption of internal energy. In the end, The Gang Qi extended to the bottom of the boat can be like a limb stretched into the water, feeling the subtle force in the lake.
The enemy not only did not expect to encounter such fierce resistance, but also did not expect that someone would charge forward boldly. There was a little noise from the eight fast boats in front, but after the sound of a horn, the noise was immediately suppressed Going down, and the enemy's reaction was extremely fast, eight fast boats formed a crescent-shaped formation, with strong bows and crossbows lined up on board, aiming at Ye Qingxuan's fast boat.
Oh, it seems that the leader of the enemy is also a person who is good at water warfare. He reacts quickly and arranges steadily. He is indeed a water giant who has been trapped in Longhu for decades.
The distance between the two sides was shortened extremely quickly, and with a bang, all arrows were fired. The quality of the archers on these eight warships was higher than that of the previous masters. When the sound sounded, the arrows had arrived.
There was a little bit of sharp wind in front of him, and it shot towards Ye Qingxuan and Wan Guotai who were bearing the brunt like a torrential rain.
Ye Qingxuan let out a cold snort, and the speed of Xiaofengfan increased sharply.
Amazing speed!
The small boat was lifted up to the surface of the lake suddenly, and it rushed out obliquely along the water like a flying fish.
All the powerful arrows fell to the ground.
Surprised calls came from the enemy ships.
Ye Qingxuan secretly laughed in his heart, knowing the changes in the water flow under the boat, he became a master at sailing in an instant, if he could be stumped by these small arrows, it would be a big joke.
The drums of the enemy ships thundered.
The left and right were divided into three ships and then dispersed.
The enemy seemed to know how powerful Ye Qingxuan and the others were, so they didn't allow them the distance to jump onto the bow of the ship. They opened their posture and kept consuming their energy with bows and crossbows. At the same time, they even attacked the boat controlled by Ye Qingxuan, causing them The two fell into the water and were captured.
Although Ye Qingxuan and Wan Guotai understand water skills, they are not in the same breath compared to these masters who grew up near the water. If they really fall into the water, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Can't use it.
The enemy ship's response is indeed impeccable, only from this point, you should know that the opponent has masters in charge.
It's a pity that their opponent is Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan ignored the batches of crossbow rockets fired by the enemy, and suddenly pulled out the Biluo sword, pierced into the water, and felt the ever-changing and graceful lines of the water in the lake.
The long sword trembled suddenly, causing a strong undercurrent.
The dark surge crashed against the bottom of the ship.
The small sail was pulled away from the lake again, and at the same time, the boat changed its direction to the left.
The enemy's attack landed in the air again, causing the enemies on the ship to exclaim.
There have always been countless water battles, but where have I seen such a small boat that looks like a spirit beast swimming, and such a boat maneuvering technique, how can it not make people feel frightened.
Ye Qingxuan laughed, and used his long sword as an oar, retracting and extending it, and slammed into the lake water at the stern of the boat.
The waves rushed into the air, reflecting the blazing rays of the sun in the sky, like ten thousand golden scales, the small boat shot towards the approaching enemy ship like arrows, the second round of rockets all shot empty again, and landed in the middle of the small boat. rear.
When the waves fell, none of them splashed onto the small sail, which showed how fast the boat flew away.
Ye Qingxuan's sword, just relying on feeling, proved that he has mastered the truth of swordsmanship.
That is the way of heaven, and it is also the way of nature and the principle of nature.
A sword that masters the way of heaven, in turn, is easier to master the way of nature, so Ye Qingxuan can grasp the water properties of Kunlong Lake in an instant, and use the water properties like magic to do all these incredible things in front of him.
The enemy formation immediately became chaotic.
Ye Qingxuan's bright sword heart could even feel the chill in the hearts of the people on the enemy ship.
It kind of means that there is no war.
In an instant, Ye Qingxuan overwhelmed all these water bandits who had been smiling proudly in Longhu for many years in terms of momentum.
One after another, water splashes burst into the sky at the stern of the ship.
Ye Qingxuan let out another long laugh, sat down with his back bent, tilted the bow of the boat, and the speed increased sharply. Before the enemy's third round of rockets could be fired, the small boat opened its sails and broke into the middle of the enemy's clipper ship. A fast boat passed by.
hum!
Wan Guotai's calm face suddenly became stern, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand raised the knife backhand, stretching it extremely, and then made a steady horizontal cut with the fast boat on the left.
The two ships parted, far away...
boom!
The clipper boat just now was cut neatly into two halves from one meter below the deck. The oars room, which was originally located on the lower deck of the ship, had always been dark, and it instantly became an open dragon boat.
