Chapter 10 bilateral tide

The sound in the distance is very clear, and the scene in the distance is clearer.It was a peak in the shape of a giant axe. The peak was sharply slashed like a blade, and it was slashing in the direction where Zhao Kuangyin and the others were.But the top of the peak is not sharp, but like a crystal flower, and the flower shape is constantly changing and blooming.The blade surfaces on both sides of the blade are even more inconceivable, dragging out the length of the invisible tail, which is gray, like gray clouds pressing down on the horizon. The flowers on the top surface are spray, and the blade surfaces on both sides are the surging water.

"Crest tide! This is a water phase that only appears when two tides are sandwiched. Its power is more violent than a single-sided tide. But this kind of tide has only been heard in the Qiantang River, and it has never been heard in the Yangtze River waters." .And...and why the tide here is coming straight to the island, it seems to submerge the whole island." Zhao Kuangyin has seen many tidal surges during his travels in the world, including Qiantang tide, Guanhai tide, etc. , so we know a lot about the tide phase and tide potential, and the judgment is quite accurate. "By the way, this is an island in the middle of the river. There is a tide coming up on one side, so what about the other side?" Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly turned his head and looked at the other side of the island.

On the other side, almost no sound can be heard, but the water potential seen is even more exciting.There is also a tide surging up there, but the speed is not as fast as the peak tide, and it looks like it is standing still.But the tide here is high and rising.Therefore, although there are no leading and towering peaks, there are a large group of mountains that are constantly growing higher, and the mountains are piled up by layers of tides. "Shanping tide, this is a tide that can only appear in the sea, why did it appear here? And it is opposite to the crest tide, this blow is blocked, even if it is a ship made of paulownia wood or iron. It's hard to bear, the mast breaks and the ship capsizes in an instant. As for some people who don't have a boat and are not familiar with water, there will be two final outcomes-sinking to the bottom of the water to feed the fish, or floating to the surface to feed the water birds And the so-called certain people include himself and the only remaining subordinates." Zhao Kuangyin was already extremely flustered, because what he saw had put him in a mortal situation.

"It's the tide coming! Master Zhao, the tide is coming!" The Tiger Guard on the lower floor of Zhao Kuangyin also saw what kind of situation he was facing.At this moment, there is no concept of life and death in their consciousness, only suspicion of sobriety and hallucinations. "Tide? Ah, not good! We fell into the trap of others. We made a mistake earlier, and we should have gone to a high place without water." Zhang Jin'ao immediately connected the whole thing when he heard the above words. up. "Not necessarily, even a high place may not be able to escape the tides on both sides." Although Zhao Kuangyin was flustered, his tone and expression remained calm. "Wait! I saw it, there is indeed a waterway ahead! And it's a waterway where boats can sail!"

What Zhao Kuangyin said later sounded like nonsense, but when he said this, everyone fell silent, and the obvious fear and panic were forcibly subdued.Because Zhao Kuangyin's usually calm tone was filled with a great degree of excitement at the moment, and this excitement made everyone feel the last hope of escape. "There seems to be a boat in the waterway. If it is higher, I can see it clearly." Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's order, all the people below immediately replaced their shoulders with their hands, and all the watchtowers built with three layers of human bodies were lifted by hands.As a result, the overall height has increased by more than half of the personal height.

"There are boats, and there are quite a few. These boats are standing still. Could it be that they are waiting for the impact of the tide? Reeds, formations, and twisting water! By the way! I know what's going on! They are waiting for this The tide is coming!" After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin jumped down the stairs and ran forward first.Zhao Kuangyin shouted loudly while running: "Follow up, grab the boat, as long as you get on the boat before the tide comes, you won't die!" This is not an order, but information, information that can save lives.This news made those tiger guards run wildly, much crazier than the tiger-toothed poisonous thorn Ang and the black raven who fought just now.

The closest direct distance to them was a mastless ship. Although this ship was quite large, it was an authentic river boat of more than three feet.However, only relying on sculls and poles as the driving force shows that the ship is generally not suitable for long distances, and is only used for pick-up and temporary transfer of goods. A group of people who others thought would never be able to get out of the reeds, a group of people who were thought to have been chewed by the venomous thorns of tiger teeth, a group of people whose eyes were covered in mud, bird feces, and painted flowers like ghosts by sweat.When such a crowd suddenly appeared beside the waterway, in front of the bare ship.The people on the boat who were ready to deal with the huge tide were all frightened: before the big tide and big wave arrived, the water ghost and water demon appeared from nowhere.

There are many people who are intimidated, but there are also sober and decisive people.Someone on another big boat not far away also noticed the group of people who suddenly appeared, so they shouted loudly: "Pull the boat away, don't let them get on the boat!" The sound spread quickly, and the people who heard the shout reacted quickly, but the sum of these two times was not as fast as Zhang Jin'ao's.Before the people on board had time to catch the scull and the pole, they had been accurately hit by colorful locust stones. The migrating locust stones are issued by hands, and they are not as powerful as weapons, so the attack points are all vital parts, and every stone hits the head or face accurately.After being hit by the migratory locust stone, most people immediately felt heartbroken, dizzy, fell down on the deck and could not move.Two of them were hit directly by the locust stone while walking in panic and fell off the boat.For some individuals with strong resistance to blows, those who hold up the pain after being hit by a stone and still want to move the boat, Zhang Jin'ao uses continuous and concentrated hitting methods.Several stones hit the same point on the same person's body one after another. Even if he couldn't be stunned or knocked down, his body would suffer more pain than he could bear.

These fast-moving people were all hit by Zhang Jin'ao's flying locust stone, which was considered good, after all, injuries and pain did not kill them.Those who moved slowly were not so lucky. What they suffered was directly shot by the short crossbow of the tiger guard fast machine in the rear.People who tried to move the ship were either injured or killed, so the ship would definitely not be able to move.But the people on board are not ordinary people, they are grass bandits, thugs, and masters of the rivers and lakes who brave the wind and surf.Seeing that it was impossible to move the ship, he immediately drew his weapon and approached the side of the ship near the shore while firing crossbow arrows and flying stones.This action seems to be to prevent Zhao Kuangyin and the others from boarding the ship.

At this time, the water level in the water channel has begun to rise rapidly, and there are small torrents rushing here and there among the reeds.This made those stranded tiger-tooth venomous thorns come alive again, swimming around with the current. This happens because the front of the tide has arrived, and the smell of water carried by the tide can already be smelled in the air, and a layer of water mist stirred up by the tide is even more diffuse on the reeds. The impact of the water made Zhang Jin'ao and the tiger guards stagger for a while, and the stones and crossbows in their hands lost their aim.People from one river, three lakes and eighteen mountains on the boat successfully occupied the side of the boat, sticking out their knives and guns, sealing off all the places where they could get on the boat.And the changes in water level and water potential also made the mastless ship, which was floating on one side at will, leave the shore by itself for a certain distance.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw the boat drifting away, he cried out in his heart: This is the last hope for survival, and he is only one step away from getting on the boat, but he must not fall by the wayside.So he moved his body freely, took a sudden step, swung the Coiling Dragon Stick in his hand towards the big boat, and at the same time pressed the mechanism in the palm of his hand. Immediately, the brilliance flashed, and the stick danced and the dragon flew.There was a huge tide in the distance, and the water mist was diffuse nearby. Against the background of this atmosphere, the dragon's whistling sound from the dancing dragon stick shocked the people on board again.They suddenly realized that what they encountered might not be a water ghost and a water demon, but a real dragon riding the clouds and waves! Zhao Kuangyin turned on the machine, and let the Panlong on the Panlong stick shake its scales and fly out.The gold-plated dragon body went straight to the bollard on the bow, and wrapped it tightly around it.Because the scales of the dragon's body are reverse scales, the front mouth hangs upside down, and the cable stake is killed in one blow.In addition, the dragon's head turns back and holds the claws to make a buckle. As long as you don't loosen your strength and shake off the dragon body, it will be pulled tighter and tighter.And the front of the scales will eat deeper and deeper, until the cable stakes are crushed. But holding the bollard does not mean that the boat can be held. Although Zhao Kuangyin has great courage, he is also insignificant in front of the power of nature.Although it was the striker who came over from the tide, the power contained in it was already extraordinary.Under the impetus of this force, the hull still moved obliquely forward unstoppably.Zhao Kuangyin was dragged by this strong force, and his feet drew two deep grooves in the mud and sand. "Douzhuzhu!" Zhang Jin'ao shouted when he saw this situation.Following this shout, several tiger guards immediately crossed their arms and stepped on their shoulders, forming a five-man tall human pillar.But the pillar was erected before it was completely stable, and it had already fallen straight down. The inverted bucket column is a method used to climb over the enemy's camp wall on the ancient battlefield.The camp walls of the ancient Anzha camp were surrounded by thick wooden pillars, and the tops of the wooden pillars were cut into sharp shapes.It is very dangerous to turn over from the top like this, and it is very difficult to climb in with bare hands.Even if a ladder is used, it is still possible to be stuck on the tip of the column under the harassment and obstruction of the enemies in the camp. The method of "inverting the pillars" is actually very simple, but it has high requirements for personnel.It is to let several people step on their shoulders and stack them to form a very tall single-person pillar.Then the column of men fell towards the camp wall, so that the one or two people on top could jump directly into the interior of the camp wall without touching the tip of the column at all.Therefore, the people below must be strong and stable, while the people above must be agile and agile, and they must know how to cushion the ground when they fall.And once you enter the enemy camp, you must be able to fight with one enemy ten to make room for those who continue to jump in behind, otherwise it will be futile to enter. It is very appropriate for Zhang Jin'ao to adopt the method of "inverting the bucket column" at this time.After being lifted up, it fell down. It can not only cross the water surface that has been pulled away from the shore, but also jump over the knives and guns wielded by the gang members who are sticking to the edge of the boat.Then it landed directly on the deck behind them, got up and turned around to attack the gang from the back of the gang. The gang members of the rivers, three lakes and eighteen mountains on the boat were already startled by the Golden Dragon Township wielded by Zhao Kuangyin, and they didn't know what appropriate method to use to stop the enemy who jumped over from a high place, so four people soon A tiger guard boarded the boat.The tiger guards who landed on the boat were all forward guards with double swords. As soon as their bodies touched the plank of the boat, they jumped up immediately, unfolded their double sword dances and made several sword flowers, and rolled wildly towards the gang. "Stop killing! Move the boat to survive!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted, like a thunderclap in the air. And at the same time as this loud shout, a piece of water was blown up by the wind and fell like rain, wetting everyone's clothes in the blink of an eye.Everyone turned their heads and saw that the peak of the tide was already close at hand.
