"These are all rubbish. With so many warships, we can't surround three strange ships." Standing on the main ship, Chen Changqing looked solemn.
This land of floating mountains has blocked him for too long.
First it’s Xia’er, and then it’s three strange ships. What on earth is going on?
"Master Marquis, the person on the boat is indeed Thief Xu!" General Youpi said from the side.
Chen Changqing frowned and looked forward. Sure enough, he found Xu Mu's figure suddenly appeared on the cabin of the strange ship. Beside it, there were several soldiers holding large shields tightly, guarding the surroundings. .
Thief Xu was wearing silver armor, holding his sword with one hand, and suddenly raised his other hand, pointed at his right eye, and made a gesture of picking out his eyeball.
Chen Changqing's eyes were about to burst. This naked psychological blow made him feel very uncomfortable. Being blinded in one eye had always been a negative feeling in his heart.
"Mr. Chen Hou, you are a dog yourself. Otherwise, you can use a pair of dog tricks to make yourself look better than a beast like you."
The three shield ships burst into shouts.
Chen Changqing was trembling all over. Even though he was still a little far away, he still heard clearly.
"Master Hou, Thief Xu is irritating you." Hu Baisong frowned.
"I know." Chen Changqing breathed out and forced himself to calm down. However, Xu Mu's next words made him furious again.
"Chen Changqing, there are thirty states and tens of millions of people in the world. When have we ever seen a blind dog become the emperor?"
Bang.
Chen Changqing's face quickly became angry, and he kicked the partition of the building in front of him.
"Kill the Xu thieves for me! The one who succeeds first, I will make the decision for Your Majesty and be made a camp general and rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Hu Baisong sat on the wooden platform and tried to persuade him, but in the end he did not do so. He also felt that the delay for these three strange ships was a bit too long.
"Don't panic." Xu Mu got out of the cabin and his voice was steady. He looked at the hundreds of people next to him. Because the merchant ship was renovated, the ship seemed a little crowded.
Outside the boat, the sound of arrows falling could still be heard clearly.
There were hundreds of soldiers, but they all had firm faces and held their heads high, looking seriously at Xu Mu in front of them.
"As you can see, more and more enemy ships are approaching us to surround us."
Even if they are constantly improving, even if they are very careful, under the general trend, the three shield ships, at first glance, already look like they are at the end of their rope.
The boat at the far end had been plowed by many stern boats and became extremely shaky after being hit several times.
But fortunately, with the help of the heroes behind them and relying on the few river boats, they finally rushed in and rushed into the Muyunzhou water formation.
Coupled with the fact that Chen Changqing was angered earlier, if you guessed it correctly, after a while, there will be an airtight encirclement and suppression.
Xu Mu never expected that these three shield ships would be able to kill one thousand and retreat ten thousand.
This is impossible.
Seriously speaking, he was the bait for this fire attack. He attracted the enemy warships across the water distance together. The bows were connected to the bows, and the sterns were connected to the sterns.
Only in this way can it be put into a big fire. Even if it can only burn half of it, it will be enough to frighten the enemy.
This is why he worked hard to build three defensive shield ships. As bait, if the hulls were not thick enough, they would not even be able to withstand the first round.
"If unfortunately the shield ship is destroyed, don't be afraid. Someone will worship us with water and wine and welcome us home."
"Don't worry, General Xu. If he dies, he will follow General Xu to conquer the world again in eighteen years."
Xu Mu's eyes were dull.
Even though they were tied with dry gourds, no one could say what would happen if the ship was destroyed.
Taking a breath, Xu Mu raised his head, trying to remember the face in front of him. This round, he would probably lose many of his subordinates.
…
On the desolate ridge, looking at the battle below, Jia Zhou's expression suddenly became serious.
More and more Mu Yunzhou warships are surrounding the three strange ships. It looks like they are going to tear the three strange ships into pieces.
Previously, his lord said that he wanted to be a bait, but he didn't agree... But now, it seems that this is the best way.
"The bait plan has been completed." Jia Zhou said calmly. Even if a few of the warships caught fire across the water gap, they would not be able to cause a huge fire.
But if we abandon the water distance and turn to encirclement, the situation will be different.
"Commander, do you want to shoot signal arrows?"
"wait."
At this time, Jia Zhou had to calm down even more. What he was waiting for were the dozens of huge ships. As long as ten of them approached, the fire would become even more terrifying.
On the river, the sound of fighting is still heard.
Not only the three shield boats, but also the ones behind them, Li Zhiqiu also brought many river boats, and rushed into the enemy's formation. Unfortunately, many river boats were crashed before they could reach the outside.
As a last resort, Li Zhiqiu could only lead Xia'er and retreat using Qinggong.
He raised his head and looked at the three tightly surrounded shield ships, feeling an inexplicable tragic feeling in his heart.
boom.
A shield ship on the side was constantly hit by the racket pole, and finally it could no longer block it. The huge hull was smashed from the middle, and at least dozens of people were thrown away as the racket pole fell down.
He was crushed to death on the spot.
The remaining people, led by a general, immediately pushed Mu Yunzhou's warship off the bamboo bridge while the ship was still in the river, and prepared to board the ship to fight to the death.
Arrows were flying all over the sky, and the soldiers on Muyunzhou's warship also roared loudly, holding up their halberds, and stabbed the figures on the bamboo bridge into the river one by one.
Countless corpses floated up densely in just a moment.
Having lost the guard on one side, Xu Mu in the main boat gritted his teeth tightly, feeling that more and more rackets were falling on the iron sheet of the capsized ship.
The hull of the ship shook so hard that it made people's heads hurt.
"Push the oil tank again!"
"General Xu, we've run out of fuel!"
Xu Mu was calm. Whether it was fire oil or fire rocks, he had left enough weight for the five hundred water ghosts.
In the cabin of the shield ship, an unspeakable sadness suddenly spread.
"Kill them!" Chen Changqing, who was on the boat, looked at the scene not far away, his eyes widened with joy.
"Quick, come around!"
Fearing that Xu Mu would run away, Chen Changqing kept shouting angrily. All signs showed that Xu Mu was a fool, trying to break the situation with the help of three strange ships.
As a veteran who was well versed in water warfare, he knew very well that there was no place to hide the ship, and three strange ships were surrounded. Xu Mu was bound to die.
Fire attack? There is no chance, how to burn this fire.
…
Yu Wen raised his head and looked in the direction of Huangling, his face a little anxious. He was waiting for the signal arrow from military advisor Jia Zhou.
"Don't mess up. Follow what General Xu and the military advisor said and wait for the signal."
Keeping his face calm, Yu Wen forced himself to calm down.
…
The river surface of Fushan is not far from Shuizhan. Somewhere near the river bank, no one noticed that the reed poles were making small ripples in circles.
When blown by the wind, the ripples quickly disappear.
