The Bandit’s Strategy

【Chapter 191-Ultimate Naval Battle (Part 1)】Catch the Thief and the King

At noon, several iron-clad warships docked as scheduled and brought Wen Liunian back to Daying. Of course, in order to please Ye Gu's master, the dark guard rolled up his sleeves and chopped down the tree to make a raft, and dragged the fainted bereavement bird back.

Seeing everyone coming back, Chu Yuan's heart that had been hanging in his throat finally fell back: "How is the battle?"

"Everything is as we expected." Wen Liunian said, "Baiwu Island is very large, and it is not clear how many troops the opponent has. The port is full of warships and sky-shaking artillery, and the defense is extremely tight. However, the number of mourning birds is not many. , There are only a dozen of them."

Ye Jin watched the mourning bird back and forth for a long time, then said, "The hair is quite long."

Shen Qianfeng: "..."

Duan Baiyue: "..."

"Valley Lord." The dark guard was nervous, "The people who brought it back are not awake, won't they just fall asleep like this." We really didn't fight very hard!

"No." Ye Jin lifted his eyelids and looked at it. "You will wake up with a little medicine."

The guard was relieved, and dragged the person down. After taking a hasty bath, Wen Liunian went to Chu Yuan and the others to elaborate on what happened last night.

There are many sources of water on Baiwu Island, and it is absolutely impossible to sprinkle powdered medicine overnight. Moreover, living water sources can purify themselves within a few days. Although it is said that Ye Jin was spread to the outside world, saying that he would not disperse after half a month, but it is only a rumor-so this time the powder on Baiwu Island on the dark guard belt is just ordinary. Poison, but it is mixed with a lot of powder made by grinding deep-sea shellfish. When the sun shines, it will faintly glow blue. It will fall on the ground next to it. It will not dissipate for a year or a half. They all felt that it must be very poisonous, and no one would dare to approach it anymore.

Wen Liunian squeezed his chin: "It is estimated that the opponent has been scared enough."

"If there are not many mourning birds, it is not enough to be afraid." Shen Qianfeng said, "It is not difficult to solve it."

In the past, the army would stand still because it was worried that if the number of mourning birds was too large, it would be extremely unfavorable for naval battles. Now that the opponent only has more than a dozen birds, there is interference from Wen Liunian's flute, and there is also chasing the shadow palace and the sun. The Secret Guard of Moon Mountain Villa is here, and it shouldn't be too difficult to destroy it.

"The emperor." Grandpa Si Xi said outside, "The five prisoners of war have already awakened, but should they be interrogated immediately?"

"Go and see." Chu Yuan stood up and walked out. The others were walking fast, not because they were too anxious to be interrogated, but because they were guarding the prisoners of war, but the people who came out of the shadow palace... , I guess it's not impossible to be frightened again.

"Ah!" Before everyone approached the cabin, they heard a scream from the front.

"Don't be afraid." The dark guard hurriedly comforted, "We really are good people."

The five people huddled in the corner vigilantly, obviously not convinced.

Obviously, they are still saying something like "cook and eat"!

"Heroes!" Wen Liunian rushed in, and he was relieved to see that the prisoners of war were still intact.

"My lord!" The dark guards immediately complained, "They didn't know what evil they were hitting, they kept yelling." Very scary.

"The emperor." Father Si Xi opened the curtain.

Chu Yuan stepped into the cabin, and the secret guard immediately moved to the bench, winking very understandingly.

After all, he was also the one who cut the dragon robe for my Young Palace Master.

"Can you recruit?" Ye Jin squatted in front of one of them.

"Take it!" The other party nodded desperately.

Wen Liunian was shocked for a while, how so refreshed, he didn't even hesitate.

The prisoner of war looked at the iron whip in the dark guard's hand, for fear that one of them would be taken off inadvertently. Since it is greedy for life and fear of death, the interrogation is much simpler. Before Chu Yuan could even ask, a few people had already confided the situation on the island, for fear that one thing would be missed by the men in black in front of you. Cooked and eaten.

"It's roughly the same as what we saw on the island." After the interrogation, Wen Liunian looked at the thick pile of confessions in his hand, "There should be no lying." I don't know if it was because the secret guard was too handsome, so Fortunately, the accidental collision happened to bring back an enemy spy who was specifically responsible for watching the movement of the Chu army, so he knew everything about the secrets of the island's organs.

"Qingqiu's vigilance is not low." Zhao Yue looked at the map and said, "If you want to kill all of them, you must be divided into four groups to guard each exit."

"There are five people on the island, and the other party will not be unconscious. The secret channels of these institutions will be changed." Ye Jin said, "However, the island is not more inland. To set up institutions, you must rely on tidal weather. You can't change it easily if you want to change it. As long as you hurry up, you can catch the opponent off guard."

"How does Ai Qing look?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Weichen also agrees to start war immediately." Wen Liunian said, "The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for Qingqiu."

"The tone doesn't have to be so sonorous." Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "If it's not necessary, I won't put you on the battlefield."

Wen Liunian: "..."

Baikiri Island has a long and narrow terrain. Due to the hidden reefs under the sea, huge waves will be set off from time to time. Although it was equivalent to more natural barriers, which added a lot of trouble to the Chu army's offensive, it was also because of these hidden reefs that the opponent could not easily leave the island.

"Weichen wants to go." Wen Liunian whispered his opinion.

"How does Qianfan look at this waterway?" Chu Yuan asked.

"There is a hidden reef, it is not easy to penetrate, and you can only outflank it from the flanks." Shen Qianfan said.

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Weichen wants to go." tirelessly.

"The sword has no eyes, and will be close to Qian Feng's side by then, don't you know?" Chu Yuan exhorted.

Ye Jin snorted proudly: "I know."

"Weichen wants to go." Especially wronged.

"If there are thousands of rebels in ambush here, and the waterway is so narrow, I'm afraid it will not be easy to penetrate." Chu Yuan frowned slightly.

"Leave it to me alone." Zhao Yue said.

Master Wen narrowed his mouth and narrowed his mouth.

Zhao Yue complied with kindness: "There is also Xiao Liuzi."

correct. Wen Liunian nodded, and I want to go too.

"I do it for your own good." Chu Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded.

Zhao Yue said: "I will protect Xiao Liuzi."

"Why do you have to go to the battlefield?" Chu Yuan asked.

Wen Liunian said: "It is necessary to use flute to attract the birds of death."

Chu Yuan said: "The young heroes in the chasing shadow palace will also play the jade flute. If the tune is the same, just teach them."

Master Wen was blocked and went back.

So Master Wen was depressed.

After dinner, Master Wen sat at the table and drank tea.

Zhao Yue embraced the person in his arms: "Do you want to go to the battlefield?"

"Yeah!" especially thinking.

"Take you there." Zhao Yue squeezed his chin, leaned in and kissed him.

"The emperor does not agree." Angrily.

"The emperor can't control me." Zhao Yue patted his back, "I'm tired these days, don't think about these things anymore, go to sleep."

Wen Liunian shrank in a comfortable position, yawned, and fell asleep in no time.

Zhao Yue tucked him back into the bed and turned around out of the cabin.

"The emperor." Grandpa Si Xi said outside, "The master is here."

Chu Yuan said: "Go out."

Duan Baiyue had to stand up.

Chu Yuan said, "The window."

Duan Baiyue: "..."

It was only Ye Jin before, so why can't even see Zhao Yue now? !

Chu Yuan gave him a cold glance.

The Southwestern Wang held his forehead and turned out from the back window.

Ye Jin happened to be passing by.

Duan Baiyue stared at him calmly: "Morning."

Ye Jin: "..."

The ship shook violently, and Chu Yuan frowned, "What happened?"

Si Xi was fair and just: "Back to the emperor, it was the Lord Ye Gu who met the Southwest King."

Chu Yuan didn't know what his mood was.

"The emperor." Zhao Yue bent over and entered the cabin.

"Wen Aiqing asked the master to come?" Chu Yuan handed over a cup of tea.

"No." Zhao Yue shook his head, "It's just that I want to take him to the battlefield."

"The sword has no eyes, why bother to go together?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "Even if the master has the ability to protect Wen Aiqing, this move is too little consideration."

"If everything can be explained by reason, then what's the point?" Zhao Yue smiled, "The emperor can rest assured, I don't want him to be hurt more than anyone else."

Wen Liunian shrank under the covers and sneezed in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, and the quilt beside him was lifted, and someone went to bed lightly, with a familiar breath and body temperature.

Wen Liunian turned and hugged him: "Are you looking for the emperor?"

"Yeah." Zhao Yue straightened his hair for him, "Why haven't you slept yet."

"Fell asleep." Wen Liunian yawned. "What did the emperor say?"

"Naturally agreed." Zhao Yue smiled, "I will take you with him."

"That's good." Wen Liunian murmured, closing his eyes and going to sleep, but Zhao Yue said: "Before leaving, the emperor asked me, if you are so persistent, do you have a reason to go."

"Yes." Wen Liunian said smoothly, "When I come to see the world, I will return to the court in the future so that I can brag to those old officials."

Zhao Yue pinched his chin and frowned slightly.

Wen Liunian: "..."

"Say." Zhao Yue said.

After a while, Wen Liunian sniffed, "If Qingqiu said something that shouldn't be said, I can still try to come back."

Zhao Yue helpless: "It's for me again."

"Naturally, it's for you." Wen Liunian lay on him, all married, not for you.

"The love I owe you, I won't pay it off in this life." Zhao Yue hugged him tightly, "I will give it to you in the next life."

"That's good." It's not at all polite.

Zhao Yue pulled the quilt and gently covered his shoulders: "Go to sleep."

Wen Liunian's eyes were calm, and he grabbed a hand in the bed.

Zhao Yue: "..."

Master Wen's eyes drifted away, and he didn't do anything.

Zhao Yue turned over to hold him down, bowed his head and kissed him.

The waves are shaking, and the boat is shaking too.

"It's going to fight again." On the other boat, Mu Qingshan said, "We have been out for a long time."

"Homesick?" Shang Yunze covered him with a quilt.

"Yeah." Mu Qingshan hugged his waist, "After the war, shall we go to the Wangcheng?"

"Don't go." Shang Yunze shook his head, "Let's go home."

Mu Qingshan was happy.

"Where to go, there will be time in the future." Shang Yunze's voice was very gentle.

Mu Qingshan blushed.

Whenever there is time, there is time, what to do if I take off my clothes.

"You be lighter!" Ye Jin inhaled air-conditioning.

"You said you're so good to do nothing, run to chase the King of Southwest for what to do." Shen Qianfeng was dumbfounded, rubbing medicine on his forehead for him, and even after chasing, he slammed his head on the wooden pillar and came back with a big bag.

Master Ye Gu squeezed his right hand fiercely, and when the battle was over, he would castrate no matter what he said!

The starfields on the horizon are hanging down, and hundreds of warships are endless, mooring neatly on the shore. The waves washed the beach into a piece of white snow, and when it receded, there were countless crystal shells left behind, like gems inlaid.

Duan Baiyue looked at the distance thoughtfully, not knowing what she had remembered, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously brought a little smile.

The sea breeze was gusty, very clear and refreshing.

In the early morning three days later, the horn resounded across the sky, reverberating continuously between the sky and the sea. The young soldier's face was full of conviction in victory, and the warship pulled up its white sails and sailed towards Baiwu Island.

The Chu Kingdom’s warships were huge in size, and ordinary wind and waves could hardly hurt them. The only flaw was that they were slightly bulky when driving. To make up for this shortcoming, Shen Qianfan ordered craftsmen to build nearly a hundred light armored warships, which were responsible for the shuttle. In the ship formation, contact and transport materials. Because it is light and flexible, it can be controlled by a single person, and it can drive silently and attack the enemy.

"Ignite!" Shen Qianfan ordered loudly.

Several sky-shaking artillery were aimed at Baiwu Island, a huge roar sounded, mud and seawater fell from the sky like a torrential rain, and the surroundings were full of heavy gunpowder.

The order of Chu erected a high platform and threw fire-oil bombs at the Chu army. However, due to wind conditions and the Chu army's warships were covered with sea mud, they were of little use. Seeing that the Chu Army battleship was getting closer, dozens of giant black birds suddenly rose into the air, quacking and rushing towards the Chu Army fleet. Wen Liunian took the jade flute out of his pocket and blew it, but this time it didn't have much use.

A mourning bird stowed its wings and swooped down, and instantly broke the mast of the warship. The soldiers picked up their spears to resist, and many people were swept down into the sea.

"Ears are plugged." Zhao Yue said.

Wen Liunian looked up into the sky, and saw that one of the mourning birds was particularly huge, with some gray feathers, and was surrounded by the birds in the middle.

"Go and chop it first!" Wen Liunian made a decisive decision. Since he couldn't use the flute to control it, 80% of it was relying on the bird to catch the thief first.

Zhao Yue took a long bow at random, drew the bow at the full moon and aimed at the gray-white giant bird, and shot it out with an arrow.

The three arrow feathers pierced the air, mixed with internal force, pierced the wings heavily, and the mourning bird screamed, hoarse and opened its claws, and rushed towards the ship where the two were.

Zhao Yue threw Wen Liunian to the dark guard, and jumped up to the mast in threes or twos. Before the bereavement bird approached, he threw himself at it, and turned with one hand holding the paw firmly, and his body was like a civet in the air, steady. Ride firmly on its back.

Wen Liunianxin almost mentioned her throat.

The mourning bird opened its wings in anger, tumbling and crashing in the air. It was about to throw off the person on its back, but was hit in the neck by a punch. So it became more manic. It turned over in the air and folded its wings back down. Falling down toward the ship at extreme speed, trying to press Zhao Yue on the ship's board.

"Be careful!" Wen Liunian exclaimed upon seeing this.

Zhao Yue clenched the dagger with one hand, and pierced the turbid eyes heavily. The sharp blade slashed through the layers of muscles, and black blood sprayed out, emitting a foul smell. The gray-white giant bird screamed, instinctively opened its wings and rose into the air, aimlessly rushing towards the heights. Zhao Yue saw the timing, Jiyue's long sword Hanguang pulled out of its sheath, and pierced fiercely through the wide open mouth.

The throat tube was smashed under the sharp blade, and the eyeball of the bereavement bird that was intact quickly lost its luster, and underneath was the densely packed Chu state warship. Zhao Yue grabbed its neck thorn feathers and turned around, using the last point. The force flew to the open land, and then it was like a heavy iron ball, straight to the sea.

Wen Liunian was so nervous that he couldn't even breathe, and he wanted to run over desperately, but Zhao Yue had already jumped up in the air and jumped onto the back of another bereavement bird.

The gray-white giant bird smashed into the sea with a huge shadow and the sound of the wind, bringing a huge wave, blood and water mixed together, black and red.

Zhao Yue steadily jumped to the deck, Wen Liunian quickly rushed over, crying: "Are you okay?"

"Naturally it's okay." Zhao Yue patted his head and glanced up.

The head bird was dead, and the other mourning birds were hacked and injured. They had lost all fighting spirit and flew away with a quack. Although the Chu army was damaging the soldiers and breaking the ship, they finally solved this trouble completely, and their morale rose even more.

On the left flank of the team, an enemy army was lurking and outflanked and wanted to attack, but before the fleet sailed out of the waterway, it was caught by the ambushing Chu army.

Shang Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly, very calm and relaxed.

Mu Qingshan stood next to him, wearing black iron and black armor. He was already about to stand unsteadily, but it was still very unfit, he couldn't see his hands, and his face could only come out halfway, and he had to rush forward after two steps. , This array was pulling his sleeves anxiously, and accidentally dropped a dagger out.

The leader of the rebel army was surprised and uncertain, obviously not knowing what Xuanmiao formation this was.

"Do you want to drop or fight?" Shang Yunze asked.

"Arrow!" the leader of the rebel army ordered loudly.

Chu Jun quickly erected his shield, and Shang Yunze also buckled an iron armor on Mu Qingshan's head. With a cold sound in his right hand, a bright light flashed, and the arrow rain was as if blocked by an invisible barrier, breaking and falling under his feet one after another.

After Mu Qingshan tried his best, he finally pulled his eyes out, just to see the back of the opponent who had fled.

...

snort!

Shang Yunze was amused, stretched out his hand to untie his armor, and ordered a chase.

The artillery roared huge waves to the sky, the scarlet cloak was hunting in the wind, and the spears and swords almost cut off the sky amidst the sound of killing.

Several black armored warships sailed into thick smoke, and disappeared in a moment.

Wen Liunian held a dagger in his hand and looked very suggestive.

Zhao Yue handed him a paper bag.

"Is it?" Master Wen asked nervously.

"It's peanut candy." Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows.

Wen Liunian: "..."

"Go out without sugar, unlike your style of behavior." Zhao Yue scratched his nose.

"How can you eat candy in war?" Master Wen was righteous.

"Don't eat it." Zhao Yue put the paper bag away.

Naturally, it was meant to be eaten, so I brought it all out.

Wen Liunian stretched out his hand cheeky.

Zhao Yue laughed and squeezed his cheek.

The rest of the soldiers had to pretend to look around at the scenery, with special dodge skills.

"Do you want to hide here?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Yeah." Zhao Yue helped him remove the sugar residue from his lips. "The frontal battlefield is intensively fired, and there are the emperor and the leader of Shen guarding him. Qingqiu will not be so stupid to throw himself into the net. If he wants to run, this is the most possible. A road can take a detour from the southeast channel to the country of Japan for help."

Wen Liunian nodded, holding the peanut candy tightly in his hand, really not nervous at all.

Time passed bit by bit, but the sound of gunfire in the distance did not stop at all. The twilight is deep, the setting sun falls to the surface of the sea, and it will be pitch black soon, without stars or moon.

Wen Liunian felt a little cold, so he shrank into Zhao Yue's arms.

"Advanced cabin to rest." Zhao Yue said, "I'm guarding outside."

"Don't go." Wen Liunian shook his head and wanted to guard together.

"Then sleep in my arms for a while." Zhao Yue wrapped him in his robe.

Good or bad. Master Wen's eyelids were drooping together, and indeed he was very sleepy. After a while, he fell asleep, almost drooling.

The corner of Zhao Yue's mouth rose slightly, and he rubbed his cheek.

The torches on the battlefield burned, and the sky was also reflected red.

"According to this posture, the opponent will not be able to delay it for long." Duan Baiyue said, "Even if it takes advantage of the favorable terrain, it will not last for three days."

Chu Yuan nodded, turned and went down to the observation deck.

"Go back and rest for a while." Duan Baiyue said, "If anything goes wrong, I will stare for you."

"Call Qianfan over." Chu Yuan returned to Daying.

"General Shen is also a human, how can he fight day and night endlessly." Duan Baiyue shook his head, "I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"You don't know him." Chu Yuan shook his head.

"I just want to know you." Duan Baiyue stared at him.

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, but before he could even speak, Ye Jin rushed in. But obviously he didn't expect that his brother was staring at each other again, and he suddenly squeezed his chest, what time is it, and this mood!

"What's the matter?" Chu Yuan asked.

"There is something abnormal on the island, and the enemy camp seems to have a new move." Ye Jin said, "I guess it's another way to go."

Chu Yuan stood up and followed Ye Jin to the side of the ship. As expected, he saw it on Baiwu Island not far away. I don't know when countless green flames ignited, flashing and beating like ghost eyes.

"Pretend to be a **** and play a ghost." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "I will go to the island to have a look."

Chu Yuan grabbed his sleeves.

Ye Jin took a deep breath. Why is his brother doing this? He just grabs other people's hands. We are not familiar with him again!

"Come here." Chu Yuan turned his head and strode towards the cabin, "Order everyone to strengthen their guard!"
