217 Catch the Thief
Winter and winter
The sound of war drums echoed on the lake.
Fan Zong's naval army marched towards the sandbank in the middle of Qingpodang Lake. Soon after, they approached the quiet reed marsh.
The large army did not dare to look into the grass, let the boats on the periphery explore the way, and burned the reed marsh.
Soon, a raging fire ignited, and the lake seemed to be covered with a sea of fire, and the fire was spreading inside.
At the suggestion of military advisor Du Ying, Fan Zong did not intend to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. He had many naval warships under his command, which were inconvenient to move in complex waterways and was prone to sneak attacks, so he wanted to burn down the reeds that covered his vision, forcing Chen Feng's naval army to have nowhere to hide, and then advance steadily.
Not long after it burned, dozens of small boats suddenly emerged from the reed marsh that had not yet been completely burned on the flanks, carrying a group of water bandits to raid the outer formation of Fan Zong's water army and fighting on the side.
White waves surged on the water, and water ghosts approached Fan Zong's fleet underwater, trying to chisel the ship.
However, Fan Zong's water army was also good at water battles, and also released water ghosts to deal with them. At the same time, while shooting arrows, they stuck on the raided enemy ships and fought on the side.
Fan Zong's fleet formation is divided into internal and external, with various warships inside, which are the main force of water battles, and there are a large number of light boats on the outside, used for reconnaissance, raids, interception, etc. At this time, the battle is on the outside.
The two sides fought for a while, and the dozens of water bandits were not opponents. While they were not completely surrounded, they took the boat to the side and tried to circle around and escape into the reeds from another unlit position.
At this moment, dozens of small boats also flew out on the other side to harass Fan Zong's navy. He used his old tricks again, but he was soon defeated.
The Wange under Fan Zong did not chase after him. Du Ying found out that the other party was trying to lure the enemy into the depths, so he asked someone to call back the team that was chasing out, and he realized that there was no need to take risks.
Two haunted water bandits retreated one after another and retreated to the reed marsh.
After winning two matches, Fan Zongshui's morale was slightly boosted.
Seeing this, Fan Zong snorted:
"Ha, although Chen Feng is brave, his soldiers are nothing but Arr."
But those water bandits followed us not long ago, and it took only a few days before Chen Feng took over...
Du Ying coughed and told the truth inappropriately.
Soon, some of the reeds burned down, revealing the waterway situation. The shallows were staggered, and even if there were no grass covering the view, it was still difficult to sail.
When the fire spread to a distance, it stopped moving forward. Fan Zong and Du Ying observed carefully and realized that the reeds were tampered with.
It is impossible to see from the outside. Now that some of the reeds on the outside have been burned, they can see the traces of manual cutting inside the reeds, cut out the vacuum area early and cut it out to block the fire.
If you want to continue burning reeds, you have to enter the complex waterway and then move on to ignite the fire. The remaining reeds still have a large area. In the eyes of the two, there must be more artificial cut areas hidden in it, so that their navy cannot burn out the reed marsh with fire, and they have to continue to go deeper. The enemy obviously guessed that they would attack with fire.
"A little trick to withering insects."
Fan Zong snorted, quite disdainful.
Using this clumsy trick, I wanted to lure his army into a complex waterway, which was too contempt for people.
"Indeed, it seems that Chen Feng is a brave but not a resourceful person."
Du Ying also smiled and said tone.
This trick was too ordinary, and he suddenly felt a little relaxed and felt a little over-looking.
This person is fierce, but he is not an opportunity.
Fan Zong quickly sent an order to keep the central army from moving, and sent some outside boats to assault teams, took rockets, entered the complex waterway, and shot and lit the reeds from a distance, which soon triggered another fire.
Just moved forward one after another, burned one after another, and the commando went deeper and deeper, but instead became farther and farther away from Fan Zong's large army.
During this period, occasionally, water bandits under Chen Feng's commando broke out from the reed marsh and raided the commando.
Fan Zong's assault fleet was cut off a lot of contact with the large force, and was unable to encircle and block it in the complex waterways, and it was at a disadvantage and suffered a considerable loss.
But this casualties were not painful or itchy for Fan Zong. He did not intend to take the risk of moving the central army. He just sent teams of boats to continue to support the commando. After all, his military strength was great and he was not afraid of fighting at all.
This battle situation lasted for a long time, and the reed marsh was ignited for more than ten rounds, burning ten to no more. Only then did the right place be broken, and you could see the entire battlefield clearly.
But Fan Zong and Du Ying were quite surprised.
There were not many ambushes hidden in this huge reed. Apart from the bandits who kept harassing the assault fleet, there were no other ambushings, which was different from the Chen Feng army they had expected to hide here.
At a rough look, there were only about two thousand enemy bandits who actually raided them on the lake.
Although you can drive straight into the water village in the middle of Qingpodang Lake at this time, Fan Zong did not give an order for a while and his face became suspicious:
"Where are the other enemy troops? Then Chen Feng has not appeared, where have they all gone?"
Du Ying felt something was wrong: "Is it because he was a suspicious plan? Then Chen Feng has other plans?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Zongyuan was in the camp on the shore, and suddenly the flames surged into the sky and riots began.
Everyone turned their heads and looked, and saw a soldier emerging from somewhere and attacking the camp.
Chen Feng, who had originally appeared on the lake, also arrived on the shore and was leading the way to fight, breaking the village in the blink of an eye.
"Not good, it's a sound of attacking the world!"
Du Ying was very anxious.
Although their fleet was traveling on waterways, land camps were as important as that. Not only did they have some supplies, they still guarded the waterway passes.
There are many water outlets in Qingpo, most of which are narrow and difficult to allow large ships to pass through. There are only two wide waterways that are most suitable for boats, one inlet and the other outlet. When Fan Zong’s navy came, he went downstream and came from the inlet.
The land camp guarded two water outlets. If one of them was taken away, half of the way out would be lost. Fan Zong naturally stocked up heavy troops here, but he had no power to fight back in front of Chen Feng, and it was like a waste of money.
Just when the water inlet camp was attacked, a situation occurred on the other side of the water outlet. A large number of rolling wood floated along the water flow, crowded in one place, temporarily blocking the river channel.
"This Chen Feng deliberately appeared on the lake, which made us mistakenly think that he was ambushing in the lake, but in fact it was a trick of doubt. He secretly ambushed a soldier on the land, misleading us to compete with a pile of reeds. He somehow secretly went to the shore and took this opportunity to attack my shore camp, trying to cut off our retreat and catch turtles in a jar."
Du Ying said anxiously.
"If we block us in the lake, what can he do? We will be able to regain the waterway pass."
Fan Zong was shocked and not panicked.
In his opinion, the navy of his fleet was the main force. On the lake, Chen Feng's troops could not compete with his navy of the navy at all.
Although the retreat route was temporarily cut off, the main force was safe, and it was not difficult to regain the pass, and it was still possible to retreat. It was a whim to use this method to surround him to death.
But just when Fan Zong ordered his return to the aid camp, he suddenly saw Zhou Jing killing through the camp alone, and jumped straight out of the water regardless of the troops fighting.
"What is this to do?!"
Fan Zong's tone suddenly rose in confusion, and his eyes almost popped out.
Wow
I saw a thrilling water line heading straight for the fleet at an extremely fast speed. It was Zhou Jing swimming under the water, which was incredibly fast, like a straight torpedo.
Zhou Jing naturally did not rely on swimming. His energy attributes are good now, and his martial arts aura is already a bit basic. Although he is still far from flying in the air, the effect is no different from the jet sprint in a medium like water, and it is also hidden.
In the water, he dared to use martial arts to a greater extent, which was actually even more powerful than on land.
Seeing this, Fan Zong's water army was shocked and rushed to intercept the boat, but it could not keep up with Zhou Jing's swimming speed. If he accidentally blocked his way, the boat would be knocked apart. All the sailors on the boat flew out far away and fell into the water to suffocate.
The tight formation of the fleet can only deal with normal troops, and it is useless in front of Zhou Jing.
He quickly penetrated the formation and suddenly jumped up from under the water, like a dragon coming out of the water, landing on the tower ship where Fan Zong was located with a splash of water.
"You, you..."
Fan Zong hurriedly retreated and pointed at Zhou Jing tremblingly, so scared that he was dumbfounded.
He had heard of Chen Feng's deeds using the beheading strategy to scare away the officers and soldiers, but he thought that in the water battle, Chen Feng would not be as sharp as the land battle. After all, in the water, how could Chen Feng easily kill him like a flat ground?
He was originally full of energy and realized that his army was superior and his situation was safe... When he saw Zhou Jing's incredible swimming speed, his performance of walking through thousands of troops and horses was like walking in the garden, he suddenly realized that it was a big mistake to supervise the battle himself.
It’s not that our army is not strong enough, but the enemy is a god!
Zhou Jing shook his head and grinned: "The old saying goes, every man splatters with anger for five steps, and people within three feet of the enemy's country, and everything I see comes with my heart. Even if the people I want to catch are protected by a large army, they will still be able to take things out of their pockets!"
The guards and leaders next to them were stunned, and then they realized that they hurriedly shouted and pulled Fan Zong away, and drew their swords to surround Zhou Jing who was killing the bow of the ship.
Zhou Jing laughed and rushed forward, and knocked everyone on the ship in three punches and two kicks. Whether it was an ordinary guard or a leader, they were not enemies of one unit, as if they were entering a state of no one.
The warships around were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They had originally stopped Zhou Jing, but could only watch him easily rush to the formation and behead him. Now they had to hurry to lean towards the tower ship, trying to support the sidelines.
However, before anyone could reinforce, the fight was over, and there were people on the deck lying on the building.
Zhou Jing directly grabbed Fan Zong, stood at the bow of the boat, shouting angrily: "Your leader has fallen into my hands, why don't you surrender quickly?"
His troops were far inferior to Fan Zong, so he naturally did not think about fighting a tough battle and planned to give full play to his extraordinary military advantage.
The tactic is very simple. First lure the enemy into misleading, then cut off the enemy's retreat, make dumplings to prevent the opponent from having a way to escape, and then capture the thief by yourself and capture the king first. In this way, even if the enemy is large in number, its morale will be greatly destroyed, and the dragons have no leader, and each fights on its own.
However, although he directly took down the enemy's head, the opponent's army was basically unharmed and the chance of surrendering was not high. Therefore, the last step was to use the many water bandits he had subdued to surround and attack and harvest the battlefield. Although he fought with less and more, the opponent's fighting spirit was lost, so there was no big problem.
The goal is not to cause damage, but to try to make the desperate Fan Zong Shui Army choose to surrender. After all, his plan is to subdue this army, rather than killing the enemy, the entire army is wiped out, so the fewer casualties, the better, and attack morale is the best.
Although there are some deviations at present, the situation is roughly the same.
Seeing that his leader was easily captured, many naval troops around him were confused, at a loss, and people's hearts were fluctuating.
"Brother was captured!"
"Brothers, don't panic. He has only one person. Everyone should save the eldest brother!"
"How can this be done by human power? He must be the dragon who has become a spirit, please withdraw quickly!"
"Oh no, the enemy is coming!"
