In terms of fierce generals, there are many people with strong martial arts skills in the Dongting Lake water village. However, in order to protect the elderly, weak, women and children from escaping, a group of bandits were dispersed to take charge of various large ships. Therefore, there were only two brothers and one roommate on the main battleship. .
Fang Er was fighting in front to clear the way, and the leader of the village was not idle when he came to Ji. He led his people to fight on the other side to clear the way. Only the military advisor Laiheng sat in command and directed the ship to stab the Jingxiang Navy in the heart.
As the blockades were torn apart, hundreds of captive boats with straw men tied to them were revealed, with countless arrows stuck on the straw men.
Lai Heng said in surprise: "No wonder we didn't feel the pressure when we broke through before. It turned out that the Marquis used straw boats to borrow arrows and held back all the crossbowmen of the Jingxiang Navy for us? What a brilliant idea! What a brilliant idea!"
"Commander, please think of a way. If we go deep alone like this, even if we can get to the Marquis, we may not have enough troops to rescue people and break through." The first mate next to him said anxiously.
Strategies were spinning in his mind, and Laiheng had a flash of inspiration, "Okay, since the Marquis dared to borrow arrows from Zhuge Wuhou's straw boat during the Three Kingdoms, why can't I imitate it? How about learning from Zhou Lang's burning of Red Cliff?"
"Send the order, the crossbowmen use rockets to aim at the straw boat next to the Jingxiang Navy warship. I want this lake to be filled with a sea of fire!"
What? The lake is filled with flames?
The first mate panicked, "Commander, no! There are so many small boats. If the sky is really filled with flames, let alone rushing in to save people, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape. If the warship is caught on fire..."
Lai Heng said angrily: "What are you afraid of? The Jingxiang Navy is blocking the way ahead. They have more warships than us. When the fire breaks out, they are the first to be afraid. We are just one ship. Don't let the fire burn out a way out. How can we save Mr. Hou?"
"If we can't save the Marquis, you and I are both traitors today, and we will inevitably die sooner or later!"
Damn it, go all out, give the order, and set fire to the pile of boats in front!
…
Not long after, a raging fire ignited, and thick smoke filled the lake. The heavy fog that had just dissipated was replaced by black smoke in the blink of an eye, and the sight of the battle became blurred again.
"It's bad! Commander, the enemy set fire to the ship. We have too many big ships, and they are all crowded together. Many of them were burned by the small boats with scarecrows..."
Xu Datong was furious, "The traitor, you are going to die with us! You are seeking death! Send an order to disperse for the time being to avoid the flames of war. The Chinese army will not move. Their purpose is to save people, and let their ship come over. This general wants to Look, with just a bunch of water bandits, how can they save people from under my general’s warship?”
How to save people?
Xiao Rui asked curiously: "It seems that you are very confident in your martial arts? I have never heard of Datong among the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty!"
Xu Datong said with a sense of frustration: "You people are so high up, how can you see unknown people like us? The Tang Dynasty Navy is just a decoration, and never has a chance to make a move, let alone a record. But martial arts is not about military exploits, and it is not just about famous generals. It’s something you deserve to have.”
"Although I, Xu Datong, am not as good at martial arts as the former Marquis, and I dare not compare with the God of War Qin Shubao, but on this Dongting Lake, the Lai brothers may not be my opponents."
oh? so smart?
Xiao Rui clearly remembered that Fang Er had fought against the Lai brothers and was rated as no weaker than the world's famous generals! If Xu Datong can really defeat the Lai brothers, he does have some abilities.
"What a pity, the ones you have to face today are not the Lai brothers."
Not the Lai brothers? Are there any hidden masters on Dongting Lake? Xu Datong was curious.
Not long after, a loud roar came from the thick black smoke, and then a figure jumped up and stood up, passing through the black smoke, as if falling from the sky, bang! It hit Xu Datong's warship so hard that the whole ship shook a few times.
"Who is Xu Datong?" Fang Er was covered in blood, and with his size and cruel tone, many people felt a chill on the back of their necks just by looking at him.
What a great and fierce general!
Xu Datong sighed in admiration, then stepped forward with a knife and said loudly: "This is me, who are you? There seems to be no one like you among the Dongting water bandits."
At this moment, a large ship rushed out of the thick smoke, and with a bang, it directly hit Xu Datong's warship.
Immediately, the Lai brothers rushed forward with everyone in charge. The originally spacious deck now seemed a little crowded.
Fang Er said coldly: "This general is Fang Yiai, the fourth-rank right-winged general appointed by the imperial court, and the personal bodyguard of the champion. You, a small naval commander, are so courageous, and you dare to kidnap the champion. ? Let Master Hou go quickly, maybe you can avoid death!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Rui who was besieged on the side, "Brother Xiao, don't panic, I will kill this guy right now and save you!"
Xiao Rui chuckled and said, "Don't panic. I'm relieved now that you're here. I'm not panicking at all. But Prime Minister Wei might be a little flustered."
Wei Zheng spat: "Bah, what are you talking nonsense about? You are not panicking. Why are you panicking? Boy Fang, if you can, don't kill this Xu Datong. This man has important connections, so capture him alive and bring him to the court for trial." "
Fang Er patted his chest and said, "It's no big deal, just wait and see if I can catch you."
Xu Datong is so angry, what kind of bullshit kid dares to say such arrogant things? Isn't it just because your father is the prime minister that your Majesty rewards you with a general? Why do you want to capture me alive?
"Come here, keep an eye on the prisoners for me. After I capture these rebels, we'd better liquidate them together!"
The deputy general next to him scolded Xiao Rui and Wei Zheng: "Be honest, two prisoners still dare to argue here? The commander has good intentions and has never tied you up. If you dare to speak again, I will throw you into the lake to feed the fish!"
Um?
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows with murderous intent. He turned to look at the deputy general who spoke, and said with a death-like smile: "I thought it was Xu Datong who was so audacious that he dared to plot against the imperial envoys, and he dared to murder me. . I didn’t expect that there are so many people who don’t know whether to live or die.”
"Do you know why Prime Minister Wei ordered Xu Datong to be captured alive?"
The other party didn't say anything, and Xiao Rui continued: "That's to protect your lives! What happened today has already been a major crime to punish the nine tribes, and it is inevitable that Xu Datong will die. But if the court holds them accountable, you and other accomplices, even if they are not punished, will be killed." The severe punishment of the nine tribes must also be punished by the three Yi tribes."
hiss……
"Don't scare people! As long as we kill you all in this lake today and do it cleanly, the court will not be able to do anything to us..." The deputy general was already a little weak.
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "Okay, if you are not afraid of death, just keep pointing the knife at me. Not to mention a mere naval commander, not even the Xingyang Zheng family behind him, or even the fourth prince Li Tai, would not dare to be so presumptuous with me. !”
"Yi Ai, fight faster. It feels too bad to be a prisoner."
Fang Er, who was fighting with Xu Da with a knife, laughed and responded: "Brother Xiao, please stop teasing Prime Minister Wei. With your ability, not to mention these few miscellaneous fish, even hundreds of elites will be captured." Can’t help you.”
Um?
Hearing this, the people around Xiao Rui became nervous instantly, but they didn't look like the other person. Like a master?
Wei Zheng believed it, and couldn't help but curse: "You bastard, you have a way to escape, and you want me to accompany you here to be a captive in fear?"
Xiao Rui apologized quickly, "Don't blame me, father-in-law, it was all to get more things out of Xu Datong's mouth. As for the prisoners...we were not prisoners from the beginning to the end, they were captured without knowing it."
Pfft... Xu Datong wanted to vomit blood, but he thought you guys are really good at blowing!
"Come here, tie them two up and throw them into the lake to feed the fish!" After a move to replace injuries, Xu Datong turned around angrily and ordered, as if he would never see anyone pretending to be a pen in front of him again.
