The white mist like milk spreads gently on the sea surface, and the surroundings are peaceful, only the faint sound of water waves moving not far away. The sound became clearer and clearer, and the three warships emerged through the fog like ghosts, gradually revealing the entire body of the black hull.
Xu Maocai stood at the bow of the boat, whispering something to the school officer under him. This group of three ships was ordered to hunt north along the coastline, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the designated location. It was about twelve miles away from Danzhou, and the white-sailed ship of the Overwatch Council was mooring at the wharf south of Danzhou.
Covered by dense fog, these three warships could approach the Overwatch Council ship without anyone noticing, but this also brought unknown troubles to their search. At this time, the soldiers of the Navy already knew that the man in black who escaped from Dadong Mountain at night was the target of this trip, Fan Xian, Commissioner of the Overwatch Council. They didn't know why the superiors sent people like themselves to the south of Danzhou, because they didn't know that Yan Xiaoyi would definitely get in touch with his cronies on the white sailboat as soon as he concluded that Fan Xian was out of trouble.
Fan Xian was wearing a somewhat loose military uniform, which covered the black night clothes and equipment. He hid in the front cabin of the warship, not worried about being discovered by the people on board. His eyes looked out through the gap in the window lattice, and he squinted slightly, worrying about the ship on the other side of the fog.
The three ships sailed northward on the sea, keeping an excellent distance from the coastline. Xu Maocai tried several times to bring the ships closer to the coast, but he was worried that the movements would be too big and arouse the suspicion of the pursuers. There was no way to go ashore.
Fan Xian also thought about escaping alone, but he was worried about staying with his subordinates in Danzhounan. The Qi Nian team still has a small team left on the ship, and Hong Changqing, who he likes very much, is still in charge of the affairs on that ship. At this time, the three naval warships that are chasing are besieging. If he runs away, what will happen to the lives and deaths of those subordinates
He didn't know whether Yan Xiaoyi was among the three ships, and a feeling of anger and helplessness surged in his heart. He always thought that his luck was extremely good, but only now did he realize that luck is a double-edged sword.
If he didn't show up, the ship of the Overwatch Council would definitely become the primary target of the navy, and none of the people on board would survive.
If these three warships were all controlled by Xu Maocai, Fan Xian would certainly have a better way to deal with them. The problem is that Admiral Qin Yi did not make such a mistake, and the three warships were dispatched from the three generals.
More importantly, Fan Xian didn't think that Yan Xiaoyi would be so negligent. If the other party thought that he would go to find the subordinates of the Overwatch Council in Danzhounan after escaping, how could he not follow him
He sat on the chair by the window, adjusted his breathing, and knew that he was about to face a dilemma—Yan Xiaoyi dispatched troops to attack Danzhounan, which was using the lives of his subordinates to force himself to show up—only I was afraid that Yan Xiaoyi had already guessed that he was hiding on the boat, but he didn't know which boat he was on, and it was inconvenient not to give Jiaozhou Navy face to search.
The problem is that Fan Xian doesn't know which ship Yan Xiaoyi is on at this time. If only I knew.
※※※
The thicker the white mist, the stronger the sea breeze, gradually blowing the thick mist like mountain clouds to the two sides. Through the window, you can faintly see the cliffs and green trees on the shore. And quietly moored by the sea, the white sailboat, as beautiful and lovely as a virgin, gradually caught everyone's eyes.
Fan Xian's heart tightened. The cliffs and green trees on the shore were too tempting for him. If he gave up the boat and landed directly, even if Yan Xiaoyi was on the boat and went ashore to hunt him down, he was 60% confident. Opportunity to escape, mixed into the sea of people, and went straight to Kyoto.
But... that ship was even more tempting to Fan Xian, and the life and death of the subordinates on that ship was also very important to Fan Xian. In the final analysis, he has not cultivated to the level of Chen Pingping in his two lifetimes—he must board that ship, and must remind those subordinates who are still immersed in sleep before the navy rebels launch an offensive.
The sound of the noose being tightened gradually sounded on the three naval warships. No matter how tight Fan Xian's heart was, he knew that the catapult equipped on the boat was being prepared. As for the people on the white sailboat in the distance, obviously because they were deep in Qing's interior and there were no important people to protect, they seemed to relax their vigilance and didn't notice the strange movement at sea.
Fan Xian's pupils shrank slightly, and with a flick of his fingertips, he called Xu Maocai back to the cabin, whispered a few times, and prepared to gamble.
…
…
The three warships slowly encircled the Overwatch Council's ship along the shape of a character. When there was still a distance, Xu Maocai's warship seemed to be shaken by the waves suddenly. There was some problem with the helmsman's operation, and the angle of the bow appeared. some deviations.
The rebel generals on the other two ships frowned slightly, thinking that General Xu had made such a mistake after leaving the battle for a long time, but he didn't take it to heart when he saw that the target on the shore hadn't been disturbed.
It was this moment of negligence.
There was a muffled slap, which seemed to be the sound of some kind of heavy equipment being pulled, followed by a mournful whistling and piercing sound from the sea of white mist!
Several pieces of sharp-edged rocks flew out from the trebuchet of Xu Maocai's warship. With their huge weight and terrifying speed, they flew across the sky above the water. The nearest naval warship smashed down!
Boom a few loud bangs!
A ridge hit the side of the warship, just above the waterline, creating a big black hole.
However, a ridgestone hit the mainmast of that warship, only a click was heard, and the thick mainmast was severed from it, revealing sharp and towering stubbles, and the sail fell down with a bang. How many sailors and soldiers have fallen. And those nooses attached to the canvas also turned into soul-struggling ropes at this moment, being driven by the mast and sweeping across the ship, hissing through the air, passing over the sailors who were standing dumbfounded, and stretching their waists. belly cut off...
It can only be said that this stone was very lucky, and in just a moment, it caused heavy casualties on the warship, and countless blood and red water splashed out like that.
…
…
These were three warships preparing to attack, so when they were attacked from the inside by their own people, everything seemed so sudden that it was too late to prepare. It seems that at this moment, the three warships in the shape of "pin" all stopped at the same time, and time stopped, only the terrifying sound of the boulder breaking through the sky could be heard.
"Fire the arrow!" Xu Maocai shouted in a low voice with a livid face. Following his order, countless rockets flew into the sky at the same time, shooting towards the heavily damaged warship...
The rockets rained down on the heavily damaged warship. The generals on the ship did not know whether they were dead or alive. No one organized a counterattack, let alone a rescue. Just in an instant, the whole ship was on fire, especially the canvas covering the ship, which became the biggest power to support the combustion.
Xu Maocai's complexion was extremely complicated. That warship was full of his colleagues, if it wasn't for the most dangerous moment, he wouldn't choose to use this method to sneak attack. And in a very short period of time, he can organize the offensive of the whole ship. If he hadn't been in the Jiaozhou Navy for 20 years, if not all the officers and soldiers on this ship were his cronies, he couldn't imagine such a good thing. the results.
He frowned at the white sailboat on the shore. From the changes on the ship, it was found that the people in the Overwatch Council should have reacted, and what he promised the young master to do could be regarded as fulfilled.
He clenched his right fist slightly and gestured behind him.
…
…
On the right side of the warship that suddenly launched a despicable sneak attack, the crossbow used for close attack at sea suddenly moved. With a muffled sound, the entire warship trembled slightly, and the crossbow arrows with hooked anchors shot over quickly, directly hitting the Overwatch Council warship on the shore.
Between the two ships, the rope dragged by the huge crossbow was connected.
The staff of the Qi Nian Team of the Overwatch Council rushed to the side of the ship bravely, intending to cut off the rope, but they were startled when they heard a command arrow coming from the sea mist, then turned around and ran, abandoning the ship very quickly, along the Walking ashore with the gangway facing the sea, they disappeared into the mist on the shore like countless shadows. The speed of the action is really jaw-dropping.
This is the reason why the Overwatch Council is so powerful. All the secret agents of the eight major divisions have already reacted to the sound of the arrow deep in their hearts. They don't need to ask why, they just need to follow suit.
A ship was burning blazingly at sea, and there were miserable cries from time to time. The ship that launched the sneak attack was parked at sea, connected to the white sailboat on the shore. After the people on the white sailboat escaped at a shocking speed, a dead ship was left behind. And the last ship...
…
…
accelerate!
A flash of fear flashed in Xu Maocai's eyes, watching the undamaged navy warship suddenly accelerate, and at an extremely fast speed, it rushed forward from the lower left, directly entering the sea area where Pinzi was headed, lying across his side. Between the ship and the coastline, and can clearly see that the ship is also ready to launch an offensive.
Previously, Xu Maocai had already thrown all the rocks and rockets on the ship in exchange for such a result. Seeing that the opponent was about to launch an offensive, his first reaction was...
"Back to the rudder! Back to..."
Before he could say the word back, Xu Maocai's mouth was open, but he couldn't utter a word—because a gust of wind forced his lips into it, making it difficult for him to speak!
Arrow wind!
…
…
One foot kicked Xu Maocai's hip hard, and the powerful force directly kicked him into the air, hit the ship's side, and shook several pieces of wood.
It was also because of this that he was lucky enough to avoid the oncoming arrow wind!
Just when Xu Maocai's body was slightly deflected by that kick, the arrow wind brushed his cheek and flew over. The arrow wind was as strong as piercing pine trees in the mountains, but it didn't make too much noise, just blindly gloomy.
Whoosh!
Xu Maocai was lying on the broken wood, staring at the scene in front of him in a daze, his body trembling with fear.
A total of five naval officers and soldiers, with delicate holes on their bodies, still maintained their last expressions before they died. They stood dumbfounded, but they were no longer breathing. Blood flowed down their throats, chests, abdomens, and heads The delicate little hole is flowing out desperately.
A delicate black arrow was nailed to the front wooden board of the warship. The arrow feather trembled at a high speed, making a buzzing sound. The arrow feather was stained with blood. With a ticking sound, a drop of blood dripped down.
a drop of blood.
Dead all over the place.
What kind of arrow is this
Taking back the kick on Xu Maocai, Fan Xian knew that he had lost the bet. Yan Xiaoyi was indeed on board, but not on the fire boat that Xu Maocai was desperately attacking. He knew that Yan Xiaoyi had already seen his tracks, and it was useless to cover them up.
He squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the warship that was still maintaining an extremely fast speed and crashing towards the official ship on the shore, and at the bow of the ship, the Governor of Yan, who was wearing black light armor and holding a bow like a god, turned his backhand. With a flip, he put the light-colored side of the Overwatch Council official uniform on his body.
He turned his head and looked at Xu Maocai, who had half of his face in a pool of blood. He no longer had an ear. His right foot in calfskin boots had already stepped on the rope connecting his boat to the white sailboat.
With a sway, Fan Xian, disguised, slid towards that side along the rope in the fog. His body was slightly arched, like a civet cat, silently escaping into the white mist.
Chick! An arrow did not shoot at Fan Xian's body who disappeared into the mist, but shot at the crossbow rope tied to the right side of the warship. The arrow tip instantly twisted the knot into pieces!
The rope between the two boats was unable to hang down into the sea, but the sound of someone falling into the water was not heard.
…
…
Yan Xiaoyi withdrew his longbow indifferently, watching the boat under his feet collide with the official ship of the Overwatch Council at an extremely fast speed.
On the other side of the fog, Fan Xian was already like a ghost, holding the broken rope with one hand, floating into his familiar cabin. He didn't have time to see if any of his subordinates were injured, and he didn't care about the fact that the huge naval warship was hitting his ass with a short shot behind him.
He directly kicked hard on a box in the cabin, and there was a crisp sound, and the solid and hard wooden box was splashed by the wood chips of his kick, which contained infinite domineering true energy, and the silver light shone everywhere.
Yes, silvery.
One hundred and thirty thousand taels of snowflake silver poured out of the cracked box, like a rotten pomegranate whose belly had been ripped open.
A corner of the long and narrow black box was exposed.
