I Am Xianfan

Chapter 95: Abandon ship

   At dawn, a thick fog gradually formed between the sky and the earth, a vast white mist covering the Taihu Lake for thousands of miles.

   The wind and waves on Taihu Lake are calm. After extinguishing the giant whales to help the water ghosts, the coalition fleet continued to quickly cross Taihu Lake, and hundreds of large and small ships moved forward through the fog.

   Suddenly, in front of the coalition fleet, the ghostly shadows of three large warships appeared, and the huge warships burst out of the fog like beasts descending, with murderous aura.

   "A few large warships that seem to be the imperial court ahead. Could the imperial court send another naval force and horses to come, why don't we know?"

   The gang leaders saw the three navy warships, and they were immediately puzzled.

  The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and by about a hundred feet, the person on the other side could already be seen clearly.

   I saw that on the masts of the three large warships on the opposite side, there was a giant whale black battle flag of the giant whale gang hanging high.

   Behind them followed the three or four hundred most common clippers of the Whale Gang. These clippers are long and narrow, with a flat bottom, and can only accommodate more than ten people, but they have light draft and fast speed in the water, making them the most conducive to water warfare.

   Like a pack of wolves, this kind of clippers often show up on the canals of Taihu Lake and Wu County. When they encounter cargo ships, they quickly besieged and bit their prey. When encountering the large warships of the Navy officers and soldiers, they quickly retreated, making the officers and soldiers unable to pursue it.

   I saw a large warship in front of him. A Confucian scholar in a white attire holding an iron folding fan and looking suave, standing proudly and sneer on the bow of the ship, facing each other's chiefs and gangs of the coalition warships on the opposite side.

   On his left is a sturdy deputy gang leader, on the right are several fierce sub-hosts, and behind him are many water band leaders.

  On these three large warships, there are thousands of water bandit archers and spearmen.

   "No, it's not a battleship of the court, but a ship of the Giant Whale Gang. The commoner scholar holding an iron folding fan is Liu Hong, the white-faced scholar of the Giant Whale Gang!"

   "The sturdy man behind him is Li Biao, the deputy head of the Whale Gang!"

   Some of the gang leaders had seen this commoner scholar, and someone immediately recognized it.

   "But where did the giant whale help get the three large warships? Are these not the ships of the navy officers and soldiers!"

   "It must be the officers and soldiers who failed to suppress bandits in the previous few times, lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and were robbed of several large warships and swords and armors by the water bandits. These water bandits were bargained for nothing."

   Quite annoyed.

   The real person Hanshan stands on the battleship of the coalition army, standing with his hands behind his hands, and said loudly: "Leader Liu! The cold mountain of this road, the Wujun coalition forces are coming, you don't surrender quickly!"

"Unexpectedly, the real man Hanshan led the officers and soldiers and the army of the rivers and lakes to come to the site of my giant whale gang. I missed a long way to welcome and neglected! However, if you want to surrender, you can't just rely on your mouth to say that you can't, at least you have to capture me. The total rudder of the peak is good."

The commoner Confucian swayed an iron folding fan in his hand, pointing the state of affairs, and said with a faint smile: "I, Liu Hong, a white-faced scholar, has passed away from my hometown. It is all inclusive. I did not expect that the water ghost hall would be destroyed in the first battle and be taken by you. I made a mistake first. This gang leader is here at the rudder of Misty Peak, waiting for the three masters, the real man, the king of medicine, the brother Li Shuo, and the brother Han, and all the elders to come!"

   talked, he retreated into the crowd of water bandits, and the deputy gang leader Li Biao and others, left by the clipper, and disappeared.

   The three warships of the Whale Gang continued to move forward, covering the numerous clippers, attacking the huge fleet of coalition forces from the flanks.

   Of course, the real man Hanshan did not expect a sentence or two to make the white-faced scholar surrender. This water battle still has to continue.

   Three thousand elite officers and soldiers of the court navy on seven battleships, and the main battleship of the Whale Gang, suddenly broke out on the water.

   The real man Hanshan and other big and small gang leaders sit on the bow of the battleship and command the battle.

   This kind of water battle cannot be tricked. The officers and soldiers and the water bandits fight each other with arrows and attack each other with knives and guns.

   The officers and men occupied the seven large warships in number and strength, overwhelming the water bandits. But the whale gangs the water bandits on the Clippers and have an advantage.

   It's just that the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang didn't dare to send people into the water to chisel the boat. They couldn't cause chaos, but this coalition fleet could not be helped.

   Both soldiers and horses fought **** the lake for half an hour, only to find that they couldn't take advantage of it.

   The water bandit ships stopped fighting, and quickly retreated.

   "Don't chase the poor, avoid ambush!"

   The real man in Hanshan ordered the warships not to chase the clippers, and the army continued to attack the west Dongting Mountain, the rudder of the giant whale gang.

  ...

   The huge fleet of coalition forces arrived at the island of West Dongting Mountain and landed on a beach called "Northern Ludang".

   This "North Reed Dang", as its name suggests, is a vast grassland covered by dense reeds for more than ten miles.

   When the water of Lake Taihu floods with heavy rains in spring, this low-lying land will be submerged and become a lake. After the lake receded, it was exposed again, and it became dry land in autumn and winter.

   So there are large dense reeds growing here, like a green gauze tent, like a land maze.

   There are some water bandits in the reeds that often pass by, and they can pass through the intestinal path that they have stepped on.

   This is one of the roads to the main peak of the West Dongtingshan island, "Miaofeng".

   Of course, there are other places where you can land on the island, but the terrain is equally dangerous. Mistakes, swamps, valleys and dense forests are not easier to pass than this northern reed.

   Three thousand officers and soldiers of the coalition army and tens of thousands of disciples from the rivers and lakes landed on the shore from Beiludang, and the ships remained on the shore.

   The real man Hanshan glanced back at these large and small ships, and asked the gang leaders: "What do you think of these ships?"

   The gang leaders soon had different opinions.

  Some gang leaders asked to keep thousands of troops and guard these ships, so as not to be destroyed by the giant whale gang and break the way of retreat.

  Some gang leaders feel that this will disperse their forces and give the whale gang a chance to break them separately. It is advocating to abandon it and concentrate its forces to attack the rudder of the giant whale gang and destroy the food and grass of the giant whale gang.

   This is a very important issue, which concerns the victory or defeat, life and death, and retreat of this battle. Both sides felt that they were justified in this dispute, and began to quarrel.

   After the real person Hanshan asked, he stopped talking, just waiting for the leaders to discuss a result.

Sun Baihong, the king of medicine, could not help but persuade the gang leaders to see how fierce the dispute was, "You guys should stop fighting. It's better to take three thousand disciples from the rivers and lakes to the old man to stay guarding the ship! Although I am a master, my martial skills are average. Attacking the ethereal peaks, The three great masters, including the real man, Brother Han, and Brother Li, were enough to kill the white-faced scholar. The mountains in front of the misty peaks are too sinister. If they can't be attacked, we have a way out if these ships are there!"

   In fact, in addition to their great masters, the Skyhawk Sect Master Jackdaw will definitely also participate in the battle. It's just that the jackdaw is the first assassin in the Grandmaster Realm, and every time he goes out in battle, he must be on the road alone, never walking with other people.

   So, they don't know where the jackdaw is now.

   "No Medicine King!"

Li Shuo categorically objected, categorically speaking, and said solemnly: "My army killed to Taihu Lake~www.NovelMTL.com~ It was a fight against the water. The morale is like a rainbow, the army is united, and the giant whale gang can't resist it at all. Distribute troops at this time, so that the Giant Whale Gang will have every opportunity to defeat them?!"

A gang leader asked, "Lee, the misty peak where the rudder of the giant whale gang is located is extremely steep. In case the attack fails and the ship is scuttled by the water bandits of the giant whale gang. Not many, they are all trapped on this island. You bear the responsibility for the annihilation of the entire army?"

   Li Shuo coldly snorted: "If our army is divided and those who stay behind are completely destroyed by the giant whale gang, our army will be destroyed by each. You will bear this responsibility?"

   The gang's master suddenly became speechless and did not dare to say any more.

  The King of Medicine stayed behind. In case he was attacked by the Whale Gang and killed a grandmaster, he couldn't bear the responsibility. In fact, no matter which plan it is, it faces the same risks and bears great responsibilities if it is defeated.

   Han Pingshan pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Li said that's good. My army rushed up to the Misty Peak and wiped out the giant whale gang's nest, and the battle was won.

   This West Dongting Mountain is full of trees. Even if these ships are completely destroyed by water bandits, it does not matter. Our coalition forces can also cut wood into rafts. This island is only dozens of miles away from Xukou Town, Taihu Lake, and ordinary rafts can pass, so there is no need to worry too much about the road being broken! "

   "Let's do it, the ships don't care about them! Since the giant whale gang has been alert and prepared, the North Ludang ahead, I am afraid that there will be a hard battle to fight."

   The real man Hanshan said lightly, not much to say.

  All the big and small clansmen could not help but stare at the northern reeds, the silent reed and green gauze tent for more than ten miles.

   Even people who don’t understand the art of war can see that if the Whale Gang wants to block the coalition forces, this area of ​​Beiludang is undoubtedly a good place to ambush.
