[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Chapter 521

It was cloudy and rainy, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the sparkling river water, darkening the water.

Hao Changheng stood quietly on the high platform, looking at the large and small ships covering the river.He was attractive in appearance, with broad shoulders and exceptionally long legs, giving the impression of a strong and powerful man, but no one would think him as a rough and unscrupulous boor.He has always been deep in the city, knows the art of speaking, and is very good at being a man. He has a lot of connections in the Jianghu, and his status in Dongting and Poyang Lakes is second only to Nie Tianhuan.

He has many advantages.For example, the more tense the situation is, the calmer his attitude will be. He never panics, and can quickly come up with countermeasures even if he encounters major changes.Nie Tian also regarded him as his apprentice and half-son, and regarded him as the natural successor of the Lianghu Clan because of his outstanding talent and mind.

The highest-level and most terrifying warship of the Lianghu Gang is called the Red Dragon Boat.Among them, there were several particularly large ships, which were boarded by Nie Tianhuan himself.At this time, he took "Little White Goose" Yin Qingya on an ordinary red dragon boat.Not far to the east of him is the "Cloud Dragon Ship" that Nie Tian was still riding on.

The sky is cloudy, but the wind is not very strong, and the speed of the river is not very fast.When a warship advances and retreats, it depends entirely on the skills of the sailors on board.No matter how the ship moves, he is always as majestic as a mountain, invisible affecting the gang who see his figure.

He glanced at Nie Tianhuan's handsome flag out of the corner of his eye, then turned his gaze away, and focused on giving instructions to the drummer and flag bearer beside him. Through the sound of drums, horns, gongs, and flag changes, he commanded the ships under his command with ease.

No one could tell that he was a little nervous today, and he still had a faint fear.This kind of mood should not belong to him, but it is out of his control, no matter how hard he refuses to leave him, it becomes a dark cloud in his heart, which contrasts beautifully with the leaden clouds in the sky above.

He is nervous about his enemies and uneasy about his allies.

A few months ago, Nie Tian and Sun En colluded once, and the results were remarkable.Nie Tian also grasped the movements of the Dajiang Gang's fleet through Hu Mingtian, a traitor next to Jiang Hailiu, and suddenly appeared from behind when the Tianshi army attacked the Dajiang Gang.Then, Sun En stood by the river and threw a [-]-jin boulder, smashing the main mast of the Jiang Hailiu ship, completely cutting off his hope of escaping the battlefield.Jiang Hailiu died because of this, and the Lianghu Gang gained momentum because of this.

Hao Changheng participated in the whole conspiracy and was one of the few insiders.He originally thought that after he had tasted the sweetness once, he would be very happy to taste it for the second time.But this time, the situation was different from what he had imagined.He soon realized that the one who made the decision was not him, not Nie Tianhuan, but Sun En.

He kept thinking whether it was a mistake for Nie Tian to take the initiative to write a letter to Sun En, inviting him to meet and cooperate.Today's Sun En is not the same as in the past, like a fairy about to ascend, he naturally exudes an irresistible courage, which makes people throw up their helmets and armor on the spot.

Nie Tian also met with Sun En in private first, and then passed on Sun En's proposal to his two lovers.At that time, he didn't agree, thinking that there was no need to take this risk in exchange for a result that he didn't know whether he could succeed.However, after meeting Sun En himself, his opinion changed, and he changed from the bottom of his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed afraid of Sun En and couldn't refuse Sun En at all.He tried his best to hide his true thoughts so as not to be underestimated.At the same time, he knew that the cover-up was futile.Sun En saw him through at the first sight, like an adult looking at a mischievous child, showing him a fairy smile.

If Sun En wanted to kill the three of them, the master and the apprentice, during the meeting, there was nothing they could do.Fortunately, there is no conflict between the Lianghu Gang and Tianshi Dao, and it is far from being an enemy of the Tianshi Army.They are safe and sound for the time being, but they don't know how long this safety will last.

He couldn't imagine who else in the world could compete with Sun En, who could escape the overwhelming "Huang Tian Dafa".

Nie Tian is not yet Sun En's opponent, Yin Qingya is not Lu Xun's opponent, and he dare not say that he can beat Xu Daofu, who is known as the "Demon Lord", in terms of using troops.When he saw it, he couldn't help being disappointed with himself, and at the same time began to question Nie Tianhuan's decision, thinking that when Sun En was still around, no one should cooperate with Tianshidao to strengthen their power in disguise.

Sun En only had a brief meeting with him, and he had such a big influence, which further reflected his frightening cultivation.Fortunately, Tianshidao is still a friend of the Lianghu Gang at this time and here.

The fleets from the two lakes followed the agreement and headed north along the Yingshui River, following a familiar route.The Tianshi army moved by land, preparing to attack the barren people ambushing upstream and clear the way for the warships.Not long after they went north, they encountered the Bian Huangshui army head-on, and a big battle broke out immediately.

Hao Changheng's eyes shone brightly, reflecting the brilliant flames when the kerosene bomb exploded.This fierce battle seemed familiar, very similar to the day Jiang Hailiu was tricked, but there were many subtle differences.

The two lake gang dispatched about [-] red dragon boats, equipped with the same number of ordinary warships, their strength is quite strong.The other side uses the two inherited ships of the Dajiang Gang as the main force, plus the fleet of the Han Gang and Pegasus Club.

On both sides of the main warships, trebuchets and crossbow arrows were densely distributed on both sides, and archers were also lined up on the high platforms and towers.As soon as the warship entered the range of the bow and crossbow, the arrows immediately shot at the opposite ship like locusts.The trebuchets of the two boats threw fire bombs continuously, forcing the red dragon boat to turn around quickly to avoid the bullets. If any of them were unable to dodge enough to be shot, the kerosene would immediately spread on the boat and must be extinguished in time with sand.

Whether he and Nie Tian were okay, or Jiang Wenqing and Tu Fengsan, their positions were naturally different, but they all had the same thoughts.That is to achieve the goal of this battle as soon as possible, so as to avoid too many casualties among the subordinates.In other words, this is a fierce and brutal battle that requires no tricks.But in a moment, the river was dyed red by the flames.Hao Changheng's ears were filled with the sound of sharp arrows whistling past.The sound was so loud and sharp that it even overwhelmed the sound of the water at the bottom of the boat, and it matched the rapid drumbeat perfectly, enough to scare people who participated in water battles for the first time.

Hao Changheng frequently looked from a distance, constantly counting the number of enemy and enemy warships lost.From his position, looking forward to the left, he could see a particularly strong and large double-headed warship.This boat had the flag of Bianhuangji and the flag of the handsome man belonging to the Dajiang Gang, so it was undoubtedly Jiang Wenqing's handsome boat.

As the name suggests, the two-headed boat has two bows, which are extremely flexible when advancing and retreating, and only well-trained sailors can control it.What they are best at is to rush left and right on the river, constantly changing positions, dividing the enemy's fleet and defeating them one by one.In addition, they are all well-equipped, and can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. Even if they are at a disadvantage, they can rely on their agility and freedom to retreat in time.

Hao Changheng frowned when he saw this handsome boat.

He had been Nie Tianhuan's deputy for a long time, he knew the styles of Tu Fengsan and Jiang Hailiu, and he also knew Jiang Wenqing who was taught by Jiang Hailiu.These experiences are engraved in his heart and become part of him.Without even thinking about it, he could see Jiang Wenqing's impatience.

The double-headed warship rides the wind and waves, revealing the momentum of never returning, and rushes to the forefront of the confrontation without hesitation, without fear of arrows and stones flying all over the sky.The people who drove the boat for Jiang Wenqing were all excellent talents selected from the Dajiang Gang, and their level was naturally impeccable.When Hao Changheng raised his eyes to look at it, it had turned sharply three times in a row, circumvented the two red dragon boats surrounding it, escaped from the guard of the remaining warships, and sailed towards the location of the Yunlong warship.

Near the Yunlong ship, three red dragon ships immediately faced forward, posing to attack the two-headed ship.The boulder thrown from the boat in the front narrowly brushed against the side of the double-headed boat, splashing water soaring into the sky.At the same time as the boulder fell into the water, four or five short arrows were nailed into the hull of the boat.

Jiang Wenqing and Nie Tian still had a feud against their father, and when they found out that Nie Tian had invaded Bianhuangji again, the hatred could be imagined.Whenever there is a slight chance to kill Nie Tian, ​​she will not let it go.This can fully explain her rash actions, and it is lamentable that she was carried away by hatred.But Hao Changheng didn't feel like underestimating the enemy just because of this single action.

Yin Qingya beside him also noticed the aggressiveness of the other handsome boat, pointed at it, and shouted: "She's here!"

Hao Changheng remained calm, and only nodded his head, his eyes still fixed on the double-headed boat.For some reason, his uneasiness became more and more intense, and he always felt that things happened both fast and slow, unbelievably fast, and secretly anxious.

When he thought "as expected", the other two double-headed boats rushed to catch up, and they should be preparing to protect the handsome boat.Tu Feng's three boats stayed where they were, and had no intention of following Jiang Wenqing. Instead, they took her place and continued to deal with the several red dragon boats rushing towards the fleet.Everything was as he expected, everything was so normal.But the next moment, something suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

The two-headed boat was coming head-on, and the angle was slightly tilted, so that he could only see the hull and deck on his side.It rushed halfway, its speed suddenly slowed down, and it seemed to realize that it had made a mistake, and hurried back.At this moment, a small boat rushed out from the other side of the ship.

There is nothing fancy about the small boat. It is the most common canoe. It is so simple and incomparable that it can accommodate two or three people at most.Against the backdrop of the tall warships around it, it looked even more pitiful, as if a stone dropped from above could sink it.It carried only one person, a person smaller than it, with very short legs.

The man stood upright, holding an oar in each hand.The oars are also very ordinary, but they are longer than her whole body.In a hurry, Hao Changheng couldn't see her face, but could barely see the color of her figure and her indistinct movements.

She was dressed in black, like a black shadow stuck to the boat.She paddled lightly in the river with her sculls, and the boat soared into the air, turning into a bird.She is the head of the flying bird, the body of the boat is the body of the bird, the oars are the wings, and the distance is several feet in one leap.When others saw it, it had already left its original position, took over the double-headed ship without hesitation, and continued to rush towards the Yunlong ship where Nie Tian was still.

The boat was so small that most people ignored it and didn't know that there was a canoe rushing under the boat.The rain of arrows shooting in all directions has no eyes, and is not merciful because of its size.However, when these sharp arrows that can stab people into scarecrows came close to her, they seemed to be forcibly twisted by an invisible hand, and they fell into the river one after another.

This scene is extremely grotesque, but also extremely beautiful.So far, Jiang Wenqing's aggressive goal is clearly revealed.That is to release this boat, and the people on board.It moved forward aggressively, obviously coming with bad intentions, and no one could tell what would happen after it approached the Yunlong Ship.

Hao Changheng finally changed color suddenly.
