Chapter 542 Chapter 4 Conquest of the Bohai Sea

The wind and rain unite all the scenery between the sky and the earth into a whole. Looking from the woods in the southwest of Xiaolongquan towards the harbor, one is just confused.Although the thunder and lightning are subdued, reducing the power of heaven and earth a little, the grass and trees struggling to shake in the wind still make people feel the violent side of nature. Yin Xianhe pulled Xu Ziling aside, and said calmly, "I want to ask Brother Xu for a favor." Xu Ziling was very surprised, what could make someone as arrogant as others ask for help, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yin, please tell me, I will try my best to solve it."

Yin Xianhe was silent for a while, then said expressionlessly: "I think you will let Zong Xianghua go." Xu Ziling was stunned but replied without any hesitation: "This bag is on me, and I can guarantee with my life that she will never suffer any harm." At this time, Kou Zhong and the others over there jumped back to the ground from the treetops, exchanging ideas on how to observe the enemy. Kou Zhong shouted over and said, "The two elder brothers are not here yet, and study the battle to capture the entire Bohai Sea, damn it! Brother Yin Do you understand Turkic? Because none of the Gunatai brothers understand Chinese."

Ba Fenghan replied with a smile on behalf of Yin Xianhe: "Young commander, don't worry, the Han people living in Shanhaiguan know a few words of Turkic dialect, not to mention Brother Yin, who has been in and out of the Great Wall, how could he not be proficient in our language." Kou Zhong muttered: "It's not that I don't know, but brother Yin can't speak a few words all the time, I'm afraid he is the only exception." Yin Xianhe had a weird expression on his face, obviously not used to being teased, so he didn't respond, but whispered to Xu Ziling: "Brother Xu is indeed my friend."

There was warmth in Xu Ziling's heart, knowing that the indifference is like a shadow, and because he didn't ask the reason, he took the matter of letting Zong Xianghua off and felt grateful. In a ruthless and cruel war, it is not easy to avoid harming the other party's commanding general, but Xu Ziling agreed without the slightest hesitation. Xu Ziling patted Yin Xianhe's shoulder, walked towards Kou Zhong, Ba Fenghan, Gunatai Brothers, Yue Kepeng and Kezhuan, came to Kou Zhong, and whispered in Turkic dialect: "Don't make a fuss, Yin Xianhe Brother has an order, not to hurt Zong Yudai's hair."

Except for Kou Zhong, everyone showed astonished expressions, the so-called capturing the thief first captures the king, if you don't plan for the enemy commander, how can you win this battle completely? Fortunately, Xu Ziling said "don't make a fuss" first, otherwise everyone would object in unison. Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Yin has his fate, so of course I dare not disobey it. Although worshiping Ziting is unrighteous, we are not inhumane. If the Mohe tribe is defeated, it will definitely not benefit Shi Wei and Che Shi." Yin Xianhe stood far away alone, staring at the direction of the harbor in the wind and rain.

Belgunata raised his hand to wipe off the rain on his face, nodded and said, "The young commander told me about the conflict between my two brothers." Yue Kepeng frowned and said, "We don't even know where Zong Xianghua is, so how can we avoid the most important and take the lightest, and not confront her head-on?" Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "How can we not confront her head-on? We just need to try to capture her alive, and then hand it over to Brother Yin, as Brother Yin wishes." Kou Zhongxian had fully recovered his usual fighting spirit and confidence. He stared at the big stone castle between them and the pier, which symbolized the safety and control of Xiaolongquan, and said, "I wanted to take advantage of the enemy's blindness and deafness due to the heavy rain. Son, if we attack Xiaolongquan quickly with a surprise attack, even if Bai Ziting's troops are a hundred times stronger than ours, at this moment when the wolf army is pressing down on the border at any time, he will not dare to attack us because of us. At that time We want to worship Ziting and call us uncle, but he has to obediently obey, of course he has to change his strategy now. Ha! Yes! "

Bugu Natai said happily: "With the young commander here, there is no problem that cannot be solved." Belgunathai smiled and said, "It's not about capturing the thief first, then capturing the king, so why not capture the ship first when the enemy comes?" Everyone understands at the same time. Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Brother Bie Le knows my intentions. The enemy's strength is between 1,000 and 1,500 people, and we are only half as strong as the enemy. Although a surprise attack is sure to win, we will inevitably suffer casualties. Zong Xianghua worshiped The generals used by Ziting should have two tricks, plus the masters of Maji and Goryeo. If we can only win miserably, we will not be able to resist Baiziting's counterattack. In the end, we have to give back the spoils. Therefore, we must avoid the important and let Zong Xianghua Back off in the face of difficulties, we just captured that bastard Maggie."

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Don't forget that the three big ships came from Korea, they could be Gai Suwen's ship, or they could be from the king of Korea." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "This is another headache, we must not kill Xiao Shiyi's people, otherwise Master Fu will not spare us." Belgunatai and others were puzzled by what he heard. After Xu Ziling's brief explanation, Kou Zhong said: "If we can control the large ships of Gaoli and Maji, and then capture the stone castle, Zong Xianghua's army will only have to retreat one way. , there is no other way."

Xu Ziling said: "Brother Feng Han, Brother Yin and I are in charge of the wharf. As long as there are more than a hundred brothers who are proficient in water skills, the enemy will catch us by surprise. For the stone castle, we must be careful. If the enemy finds out first, we will be killed Don't end up walking around." Yue Kepeng smiled and said, "My little brother can make some contributions in this regard. How about more than a dozen sets of Mohe soldiers' uniforms? These are our props for assassinating Fu Nanda." Kou Zhongxi was overjoyed and said: "The heavy rain and camouflage will cause the enemy to fall into the trap. It is not too late. If the heavy rain stops, it will be our turn to suffer."

When everyone was getting ready, Kou Zhong pulled Xu Ziling towards Yin Xianhe, and when he came to him, Kou Zhong told Yin Xianhe the plan of attack, and said: "Whether Mr. Die agrees to this arrangement, as long as Mr. Die shakes his head, little brother You can think of another way." Yin Xianhe looked straight at the stone castle in the wind and rain, and said in a deep voice: "What if Zong Xianghua sheltered from the rain in the stone castle?" Kou Zhong calmly said: "Little brother will capture her with his own hands and hand her over to Brother Yin." Yin Xianhe sighed and said, "This is the only way out. I thought the young commander would be the kind of person who would do nothing to fight for the world, but now I realize that I was wrong!"

Kou Zhong really wanted to take the opportunity to ask him about his relationship with Zong Xianghua, but finally held back and dealt with other matters. Xu Ziling said in a low voice: "Let's go to Lao Ba to discuss the attack strategy first. As long as Ma Ji can be captured, the mystery of the wolf thief and the Anle tragedy can be solved." Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, Bugunatai and more than 80 Shiwei warriors who are proficient in water dived to the other side of the harbor, and they only need to swim half a mile to reach the four big ships of Maji and Gaoli. The wind and rain were still severe, and the waves in Xiaolongquan Harbor were high and rough. More than 20 large ships and nearly 50 other small and medium-sized ships moored at the pier were tossed by the waves like toys without initiative. There were no heads on the piers, and everyone hid in shelters with tiles covering their heads. Although there were guards in the watchtowers along the coast, they all hid in the lower floors to hide from the rain. Yin Xianhe said in a Turkic voice, "Maji is definitely not on the boat." Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and others nodded in agreement, Ma Ji has always been used to living a luxurious life on land, although sometimes he would walk by boat, but only in the calm rivers and lakes.He couldn't stand the raging sea and stormy sea like before him, so he would just hide somewhere on the shore. Ba Fenghan said: "Those who can get off the ship will leave the ship to avoid the wind and waves, so we won't encounter too much resistance after boarding the ship. So we might as well be stricter with ourselves, and get the four ships out of the way before the enemy notices." Take control, and then go ashore to find Maggie's bad luck." Bugu Natai said happily: "There is no problem with this. The brothers and I are best at assault warfare. Besides, everyone only cares about hiding in the cabin to avoid the rain. As long as we close all the entrances and exits of the ship, we will kill the remaining ships in one fell swoop with a thunderous force." If the people on the boat are subdued, even if someone yells in time, the yelling will hardly disturb the people on the shore." Ba Fenghan said: "The wind is blowing from the direction of the sea. These four ships have a very deep draft due to their weight. If we sail off the pier, we will risk being turned over by the wind and waves. Therefore, we only need to keep the spoils in our hands. To cooperate with the other side's actions, if we can secure the four ships, we can make the enemy lose an inch and pin the opponent down." Xu Ziling reminded: "Remember to try not to hurt people." Bugu Natai smiled and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, my brother is equipped with a horse rope, and he is good at capturing horses and people. Go!" Everyone threw themselves into the sea and quickly dived towards the target. Kou Zhong, Yue Kepeng, Kezhuan, Belegunatai, and more than 30 elite fighters from the Shiwei clan and the Che division, who put on Mohe soldiers' uniforms, pulled their horses and waited patiently in the forest, counting the time. Belegunatai said: "The main defensive force of the stone castle is the eight archery towers on the upper floor. As long as we can get close and rush to the upper floor, we can enter the castle from the corridor and fully control the only gate that enters and exits the stone castle. Then the Stone Fort will be ours." Ke Zhuan said: "Young commander, be careful. I heard that Zong Xianghua is very good at swordsmanship. Don't underestimate the enemy." Belgunate said with a smile: "If you have seen the young commander kill Shen Mohuan within six swords, you should not worry about it." Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Underestimate the enemy is a big taboo for military strategists, not only me, everyone should be careful. The time is almost there! Brothers! Everything will be done according to plan." Everyone got on their horses at the same time, rolled out of the forest like a gust of wind, and threw them into the violent storm outside the forest at full speed.The more than 400 Shi Wei and Che Shi fighters in the rear were divided into two groups, and they also moved forward to a favorable position for attack, ready to support the attack. Kou Zhong ran ahead, and Qianlimeng drove him towards the stone castle with his hooves flying like flying. How can he fulfill his promise to Shang Xiufang and eliminate this war that can raze Longquan to the ground and destroy all living beings? Ting retreated despite the difficulties, and he reached a peace agreement acceptable to both parties by virtue of his influence on Tuli. well!How difficult and difficult is this? Song Shidao, Shuwen and others are still in the hands of Bai Ziting, coupled with the entanglement with the little teacher's aunt, the ambiguous relationship between Daming Zunjiao and Bai Ziting, Hu Yanjin, Du Xing and others are in the way, Gai Suwen may The existence of ambushes and Funanda's influence made things more complicated and more difficult to solve.And tomorrow morning is the deadline for the Turks to present treasures to Bai Ziting, and he only has half a day and one night left. His promise to Shang Xiufang was not an impulsive decision, but he knew that this was also Xu Ziling's wish, so no matter how difficult it was, he would try to achieve it. The sound of hoofbeats disturbed the soldiers defending the stone fort, and guards appeared from two of the watchtowers, looking in their direction. Yue Kepeng speeded past Kou Zhong in order to learn to be unique, and he shouted in authentic Longquan Chinese with a Mohe accent: "The Turkic wolf army is coming! The king has an order! Let's fight now!" The bell tower located in the middle of the upper floor of the stone castle immediately sounded a warning bell. When the bell rang, Xu Ziling's party had just put the four target ships under control, and the unexpected alarm bell rang, making them dare not act rashly to settle accounts with Ma Ji, and could only stay on the ship and wait and see what happened. In the turbulent storm that mixed everything together, Ba Hanfeng, Xu Ziling and others still couldn't clearly see the situation on the other side of the stone castle, which was nearly half a mile away. They only guessed that the enemy would ring the bell to warn, and Kou Zhong's actions would not be smooth sailing. Shun the water. The camp of the garrison at the north of the wharf swarmed like a beehive being smashed, and the men and horses rushed and lined up, ready to fight, quickly but not chaotically, which showed that the Mohe soldiers were indeed an elite force in the northeast of the prairie. When the tenth bell rang, the horn sounded, and the first group of one hundred cavalry galloped out of the barracks and headed towards the stone fortress, causing everyone to frown. Bugunatai made a decisive decision, jumped up and shouted: "Wei Bugunatai, Mengwu Shi, is here, the little thief Mohe is here to die." His men yelled in unison on the ship, and it spread throughout the harbor area, temporarily covering up the sound of the wind and rain. The Mohe soldiers in the camp were confused when they heard the sound, and the guards of the watchtower didn't know that the four ships had fallen into the enemy's hands, so they rang the alarm bell of the watchtower with all their energy. "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bells rose and fell one after another, heard from afar, sending Xiao Longquan into a nightmare of being besieged by enemies. The defenders of the camp only sent out a small team to support the stone fort, and the others all galloped towards the pier. It can be seen that the commander and general weighed the pros and cons, and recapturing the four ships was still the top priority. Bugunatai's eyes sparkled, and he shouted violently: "Brothers! Get ready to fight!" All the Shiwei soldiers fired their arrows and shouted in unison. Ba Fenghan took out the moon shooting bow and laughed loudly: "Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair!" "blow!" The powerful arrow shot out from the moon shooting bow, traversed a distance of more than a thousand steps, hit the guard on the nearest watchtower, and pierced through the chest. The guard screamed and fell to the watchtower. Shi Wei's archers immediately boosted their morale and cheered. The arrows pierced through the wind and rain, each aiming at the rushing enemy, like another unruly wind and rain in the storm. Xu Ziling paid attention to Yin Xianhe, seeing him blankly scanning the wharf area for people rushing in and out from the shipyard's cargo warehouse to check the situation, knowing that he was looking for Zong Xianghua's shadow, he sighed inwardly. Just as the fiery bloody battle was about to start, his mind flew to a small valley far away in Middle Earth, which he had never set foot in and could only imagine.The sea on which the ship was rippling tied him to the great rivers of Middle-earth.As long as he is willing, he can set sail and sail south along the coast to the secluded forest and valley where Shi Qingxuan lives in seclusion. After leaving Chengdu, he became disheartened and tried to suppress his love for Shi Qingxuan. He didn't want to think about her, didn't dare to think about her. His love for Fei Xuan aroused his longing and affection for Shi Qingxuan. When Concubine Shixuan was around, his mind was completely focused on her, and his thoughts of Shi Qingxuan were like clouds passing through the sky.Concubine Shixuan finally left him, and asked him to take care of Shi Qingxuan over and over again, so that his heart towards Shi Qingxuan, which had become as cold as ashes, was alive, not to mention that there was still a branch wrapped in oilcloth in his bosom, which was given to her by Shang Xiufang's order. Tianzhu Xiao. A loss is a gain. Are you a person who never strives for your own happiness? "blow!" A strong arrow shot past his head, Xu Ziling woke up with a start, and saw all Mohe soldiers attacking the boat in front of the pier, even though they were overturned under the arrow net of Shiwei soldiers, they still did not care about their own safety, and came one after another. The bloody and cruel war forced him back to the world of tenderness and ecstasy that Shi Qingxuan had sunk into. What Bai Ziting said is right, heavy rain is indeed good for defense and bad for offense, even if the opponent has several times more troops, it will be difficult to use all his strength. Xu Ziling shouted loudly, and threw out both fists, blasting the two Mohe fighters who were about to jump on the boat into the sea. Yin Xianhe shouted loudly: "Ma Ji is over there!" Xu Ziling kicked another enemy away, took a sneak peek, and saw Ma Ji and more than 30 of his men riding out from the camp, looking north. Ba Fenghan shouted: "Zi Ling and Brother Yin are going after Ma Ji, leave this place to me and Bugunatai." Xu Ziling and Yin Xianhe pounced onto the pier, immediately causing chaos for the enemy, thinking that they were going to disembark to fight back.Unexpectedly, after the two of them chopped melons and vegetables and knocked down more than a dozen enemies, they got on the two horses they had captured and chased in the direction of Maji. The assault on Xiaolongquan was launched in full swing in the stormy sky. The other ships of all sizes left the dock one after another, so as not to harm the fish in the pond. The porters who were responsible for loading and unloading goods at the dock only regretted that their parents lost a pair of feet. go. The sound of horns, shouts of killing, and the sound of wind and rain are all mixed together.
