Chapter Twenty-One Knowing the Beginning and Knowing the End
At midnight, twelve fighting ships quietly set out to sea.
More than ten miles north of the temporary stronghold of the Yuque Department is a town - Qianhe Town. Although the town has a small population, it is a place for purchasing various items inside and outside the stronghold. At the same time, there are more than 30,000 households in the town Among them, there is also hidden the fine work of flat beams.
This time, the Yuque Department purchased food and wine on a large scale, especially including more than 30 cars of the famous wine "Seven Days Drunk" in the town. Naturally, the town's Pingliang Department conducted detailed investigation.
As long as you drink a little too much of this wine, you will not be able to recover within three to five days.
There is no need to observe closely. As long as you are three miles away from the Yuque tribe's stronghold, it is not difficult to detect the aroma of wine wafting from it.
Such news was naturally sent to the Pingliang Department through letters and symbols.
Little did they know that the antidote had already been secretly given by Xie Liang during the "Seven Days of Drunkness". When it was drunk, it was just like normal wine, but one would be conscious three hours after drinking it, and it had the miraculous effect of stimulating energy.
At this time, the entire camp was empty, and only a few hundred guards sent out sentries outside. It was obvious that everyone in the Yuque tribe was sleeping soundly in the camp. How could you tell that the entire camp was actually empty!
Among the leading flagships, Xie Liang, Tan Xiao, Shou Bai, Qi Yu, Gu Yi, Ji Fengyu, and Linghu Qubing stood at the head of the boat.
Linghu Qubing suddenly understood.
Even a person like "Bei Yue" who has never had any ambitions will become "enlightened" and develop ambitions after being touched by that strange opportunity. So like Xie Liang, who is already blessed with the qualifications of a hero, under the influence of this great power Next, the changes inspired will only be greater!
Secretly thinking, I am afraid that annexing the Pingliang tribe is not Xie Liang's ultimate goal.
In the west of the Zhulu Sea, due to the relatively poor number of islands, there are only two families, the Yuque tribe and the Pingliang tribe, competing for supremacy. However, in the southern sea area and the eastern sea area, known as the "Thousand Island Star", there are more than ten forces competing for supremacy. The most powerful force among them, the leader has already reached the level of Dingyuan Realm.
After pacifying Haixi, I am afraid that the edge of the sword will be pointed here.
Just like Bei Yue took the secret medicine of the Fusion Realm without hesitation, Linghu Qubing believed that if he got the blood medicine to advance to the Ding Yuan Realm, Xie Liang would definitely not give up this opportunity to others.
…
Fourteen days later, early in the morning.
A long and narrow island has appeared within the sight.
This is where the general rudder of Pingliang is located, Shenlong Island.
It stands to reason that the sentry tower on the island should have discovered the location of the fleet, but at this time, the twelve battleships were quietly approaching under the protection of the "Hidden Mist Talisman".
From talking and laughing to the following, everyone is waiting for Xie Liang's instructions.
About a hundred breaths later, when the distance between the fleet and the island was close to a hundred feet, Xie Liang waved his right arm heavily and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon!"
About three or four breaths after the sound fell, hundreds of pumpkin-sized stones, like meteorites falling from the sky, hit the outpost beach of the island at the same time!
The stone cannons on the ship were what Linghu Qubing saw. The quality of the artifacts here is better than that of a few areas under the rule of Jiuzong.
Whether it is the common people country under the wings of the Nine Sects or the local Dao Sect, there are also stone cannons and other objects, which use twisted ropes and giant trees to fire stones. However, the individual stone robes are extremely huge, often more than ten feet long and short, high and low, and rotate It doesn't work, so it can only be made temporarily to break the city when the army is approaching.
Placing it on the ship is absolutely impossible.
However, the stone cannons made by the Cangming countries are only about ten feet long. However, their stored power can reach 50-60% of the large stone cannons. This is not only due to technological advancement, but more importantly, the unique silver iron wood here. , rubber rope and other unique products, which are very unique.
Each of the twelve large battleships was equipped with twenty-four stone cannons. At this time, nearly three hundred cannons were fired at once, which was extremely spectacular.
The pills fired by the stone cannon are divided into three types.
The first is a huge solid stone; the second is a "stone fire pill" including gunpowder, iron slag, copper sheets, steel nails, etc.; the third is a special pill that contains poison, intoxicants, and tobacco. The combination of the three can maximize the combat power of the stone cannon.
As artillery fire fell to the ground, howls and exclamations could be heard endlessly, and shadows of people could be vaguely seen.
After about a hundred breaths, two talismans could be seen rising into the sky, emitting an extremely dazzling green light.
At the same time, the stone cannons and crossbows set up along the coast of the island also began to fight back.
Casualties also appeared from time to time on the giant ships of the Yuque Department.
But in such battles, distance and opportunity are crucial. Especially in this kind of landing operation, if the firepower of artillery and crossbows cannot be fully released at a certain distance, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it will be difficult for the masters of Fusion Realm and Yangyuan Realm to The stage of taking the lead and exerting force.
At this moment, twelve giant ships were lined up in a row, only a few hundred feet away from the landing shore. They could not defend the enemy from the country's gate no matter what.
This main battleship is extremely strong. A single ship would be hit by at least a hundred bullets, which would cause wounds that are difficult to repair. The bows and crossbows are completely useless.
What's more, nearly half of those defensive weapons were destroyed by the preemptive strike of the 288 stone cannons on the giant ship. At this time, the firepower was naturally greatly insufficient.
Xie Liang glanced around the six people and said solemnly: "The regulations on Shenlong Island are that the second leader Tian Lu, the third leader Xiang, and the fourth leader Yu Chan of the Pingliang tribe lead the guard at the entrance of the main hall. The first leader Shi Wuxin and the fifth leader Wandang But they are sitting on Xiaoji Island, a hundred and fifty miles away. Now that the smoke talisman is released, those two people will be able to return within an hour. And we need to deal with the enemies on the island within an hour. "
Tanxiao immediately clasped his fists and said, "Just follow the boss's orders."
Xie Liang chuckled and said calmly: "There are five leaders in the Pingliang tribe, and only three are currently stationed there. However, there are about fifty people on the first floor of the Yangyuan Realm Hall, which is higher than the headquarters. So My plan is to wait for three or four people to deal with the three leaders, and the remaining three or four leaders will join the flock like tigers, leading the hall masters to sweep away the remaining ones, and then finally join together. In this way, the losses can be minimized."
After saying this, he glanced at the six people.
Tanxiao thought about it for a moment, then understood and immediately said: "Leave the Tianlu to me."
Xie Liang nodded lightly.
Linghu Qubing immediately answered: "Bei Yue has been promoted to the position of leader, but he has no merit yet. I will take over the position of Xiang Xiang."
Xie Liang's eyes moved, seeming a little surprised.
The other leaders who were talking and laughing also had different expressions.
It seems that Bei Yue, the leader of the Seventh Leader, has greatly increased his confidence after fighting against Yu Chan.
Xie Liangdao: "Since seventh brother you are confident enough, let's arrange it like this. Of course the remaining Yu Chan will be dealt with by myself. Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother will clean up those miscellaneous fish and come back to deal with them." ."
Everyone took the order together.
In fact, Linghu Qubing chose Xiao Xiang first because he was sure that Xie Liang would not leave his last opponent to others and do the work of cleaning up the trash himself.
"Boom" a loud noise!
As the giant ship docked, accompanied by Xie Liang's huge roar of "Follow me and kill!", seven leaders of the Yuque tribe, 16 hall masters, and 20 Yangyuan guest ministers were scattered on a line three to four miles wide. , led more than 2,500 elite troops and charged into battle in one fell swoop!
After observing a few breaths, Linghu Qubing found his opponent - a strong man with a naked upper body and two copper hammers tattooed on his arms. This man had a very deep line from left to right on his face.
The scars look more sinister.
The third leader of the Pingliang tribe, portrait.
This man's face was as dark as water. When he saw that Linghu Qubing had chosen him as his opponent, he did not avoid it at all. His eyes widened and he shouted, "What a thief!" Then he shook his body, and a spiritual light bloomed in his right arm.
The two families were old enemies, so there was no need to say such things as "Why did we sneak attack?"
It is obvious that this time the Yuque tribe has been planning for a long time. If one is not careful, the Pingliang tribe is in danger of falling.
Only by surviving can you be qualified to speak.
Linghu Qubing looked indifferent, and when he moved his right arm, as expected when Beiyue and Yuchan fought, a "spiritual arm" appeared.
The foundation of the battles of Fusion Realm monks lies in this.
Regardless of the size or intensity of the spiritual light, what Linghu Qubing used at this time was not even stronger than the real "Beiyue". It was a complete imitation of the battle in the forest that day. But it was within his grasp.
Its flexibility and subtlety of operation have reached an incredible level.
In terms of combat power, it has actually increased by more than three or four times!
After being unable to fight for more than a hundred breaths, Xiao Xiang began to sweat on his forehead. He felt that his opponent's spiritual power was obviously not stronger than his own, but he could always force him to panic.
For about a quarter of an hour, Linghu glanced at the gap, and the little finger transformed by the spiritual light passed through the elephant's tiger's mouth very cunningly, and pointed on the elephant's head.
The man's brains burst and he died immediately.
In fact, if he didn't want to be too shocking, even if he simulated this "spiritual arm" method to meet the enemy without increasing the scale, Linghu Qubing could kill the enemy in an instant.
Looking up, the battle situation has been decided.
The strategy specified by Xie Liang is extremely appropriate. It should be noted that monks in the Yangyuan realm have a layer of shining "inch light" on their bodies, which is no less powerful than armor and swords; ordinary people with high combat power and flesh and blood wear heavy armor.
It is difficult to resist ten or eight; but compared with the "Incarnation Spirit Arm" of a Fusion Realm monk who sweeps across several feet, it is insignificant.
At this time, three of our enemies outnumbered three of the enemies, and the remaining four Fusion Realm monks swept the situation, but it was easy.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the battle situation suddenly left only one place——
That was the battle between Xie Liang and Yu Chan.
As for Tanxiao, although he failed to defeat Tian Lu head-on, after Ji Fengyu, who was free, joined in, he was easily defeated with two against one.
But the fact that the boss takes action personally has a different meaning.
After the six people finally reunited, they only surrounded the battle circle tightly to prevent Yuchan from getting away; but they did not offer any help, as if they firmly believed that Xie Liang would be able to win on his own.
Judging from the fighting spirit between the two, the Yu Chan is really powerful. It is extremely rare for his spiritual power to be transformed into another entity besides his own arms. Moreover, the hammer he holds is obviously not just a showpiece, but a sudden separation and combination.
Hidden murderous intent.
This person's achievements are obviously more important than his reputation. To say he is one of the top three in Pingliang is probably an understatement. He is probably not much different from the great leader Shi Wuxin.
Ji Fengyu and others glanced at Linghu Qubing and couldn't believe that Beiyue Xin could fight to a draw with this man after breaking through.
As for the battle that he had just defeated Xiao Xiang on his own, he had not paid attention to it. He only thought that it was the same as the battle of Tanxiao, which was caused by the help of Gu Yi and others midway.
But although Yu Chan is strong, Xie Liang is obviously better!
Although the spiritual arm transformed by Xie Liang was just an empty hand without any equipment, the spiritual power of this arm was so much greater that it almost seemed to be substantial. He was not in a hurry to make meritorious deeds, but under the erosion of spiritual power,
Yu Chan's spiritual power gradually failed to function properly.
The hammer spirit shapes also turned into stars and fell.
After fighting for more than ten breaths, the signs of Yu Chan's failure were already extremely obvious, and he was only a few centimeters away from defeat.
Linghu Qubing thought, and it turned out to be just as he expected.
According to the strength, talent and luck of these two people, if they collide head-on, Xie Liang will undoubtedly win. If nothing else happens, Xie Liang, the head of the Yuque tribe, will be the three or four most outstanding among the one hundred people who have been unlucky.
one.
But at this moment, something changed suddenly.
Yu Chan's red hair was floating, and his expression turned ferocious! His middle door was wide open, but he didn't defend himself at all; at the same time, his spiritual arms were closing and closing!
The meaning of entanglement is very obvious!
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spit out a red pill.
The red pill shattered immediately after spitting it out; then blood splattered.
Xie Liang was originally extremely vigilant. If he had not been seeking total victory and was wary of Yu Chan's counterattack, he would have killed him long ago. Seeing something strange at this moment, his body reacted very quickly and he immediately jumped back!
But the speed of the bloody light was incredibly fast, almost exceeding the level of the Fusion Realm. Even if Xie Liang was extremely careful, there was still a trace of it on his arm.
Then something extremely terrible happened. Xie Liang's flesh and blood immediately withered away, and within a few breaths, he turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.
Linghu Qubing's gaze suddenly became sharp, with a rare and incredible look on his face.
His judgment at this moment is even better than that of "Gui Wu Guo" back then.
