Astral Apostle Chapter 216: Against

Latest website: To subdue the five bands of water bandits around, Zhou Jing postponed the pace of expansion, waited and watched the changes in the situation, and rectified the troops who had just joined.

"Now that we have captured Xiaofeng Lake, Taimen Lake, Guanya Lake, Qingpodang, and Duqiutan, and bit off a piece of meat from Fan Zong's body, he will definitely not let it go, I guess There will be action soon."

In the main hall of the stockade, Zhou Jing was discussing matters with the leaders.

"Second brother's plan is a conspiracy to expand rapidly and only occupy Fan Zong's territory, forcing this person to fight. If he does not respond, his prestige will be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to convince the public."

Guo Haishen nodded.

Duan Yunfeng pondered: "Even if Fan Zong sent troops to attack us, he would have to divide his troops to guard against the other two opponents, so as to avoid the emptiness in the rear being taken advantage of by others, so he would not dare to use his entire army...Brother Shengrong, How many people do you think Fan Zong will send out to attack?"

Sheng Rong thought for a while, and replied: "We only have 8,000 people, and among them, those who can fight can make up four or five thousand at most. Based on my understanding of Fan Zong, he will dispatch more than half of the generals, plus some There are about 18,000 to 25,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, several times more than us."

Hearing the words, the leaders of the other water bandits also nodded their heads in agreement.

These bosses also have names and surnames in the green forest, and their status was higher than Sheng Rong's when they were under Fan Zong's command.

"There are quite a few people." Duan Yunfeng frowned.

Fang Zhen snorted: "I think back then, the three of us brought only two hundred people, and we were able to level the Hutou Mountain with tens of thousands of horses. It's just a few times the number of troops. It's nothing."

"Brother Chen Feng single-handedly leveled two mountains, we naturally admire, but this water battle is different from land battles, and the situation is more complicated." One of the water bandit leaders shook his head.

Sheng Rong also advised:

"I know that you brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, but don't underestimate Fan Zong. In water battles, the number of people is second, and the most important thing is the warship. Fan Zong's navy is quite powerful, and there are several types of warships. , walking boats, carts, boats, shooting boats, etc., we have well-founded advances and retreats, and we have a certain degree of coordination, while we only have some small boats, and if we want to meet the enemy, we can only go on board, which is quite a disadvantage."

Zhou Jing hummed and said:

"So we need to choose a battlefield with complex and narrow waterways, to prevent the opponent from setting up a formation, suitable for light boats to intersperse, so as to weaken Fan Zong's advantage..."

When everyone was discussing, a messenger rushed in and shouted:

"Report! Leaders, Fan Zong has sent troops to attack us."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing frowned, and said with a smile: "I thought this man could calm down and wait a little longer, but I didn't expect to be so eager... Since he wants to fight with me, then he will send an emissary to send a letter of challenge. Invite him to fight in Qingpo."

Among the five sites, Qingpodang is the most dangerous. It is the most suitable place for the battlefield after discussion. They decided to abandon the other four sites and join forces here.

Zhou Jing is also not afraid that Fan Zong will not join the war. The territory is dead, but the people are alive. Fan Zong can put his gauntlet aside and take the opportunity to regain the territory, but it is useless to win some dilapidated villages. Even if he beat his group head-on, the threat would not be eliminated.

After giving the order, Zhou Jing looked at the leaders and said in a deep voice:

"This battle will definitely take down Fan Zong and capture many of his naval leaders. Whether we can gain a firm foothold in Huyang depends on this battle."

"Understood."

Everyone responded with a bang.

…

Under the strong insertion of Chen Feng, the dragon crossing the river, the stalemate in Huyang suddenly became turbulent.

"Golden Scale King" Fan Zong summoned the remaining seventeen generals, and brought eight of them, plus some troops from the village, a total of 22,000 people, known as an army of 30,000, marched mightily.

The rest of the soldiers and horses are guarding the territory and guarding against the other two enemies.

Fan Zong received Zhou Jing's letter of challenge, and he marched steadily all the way to Qingpodang without fear.

The environment of Qingpodang is dangerous, and the reed marshes are like a maze.

In the center of the lake, there is a low-lying island, like a steep slope, where the village is located, surrounded by layers of reeds. If you are not familiar with the waterways here, it is difficult to get on the island.

At this moment, Fan Zong's soldiers and horses set up camp on the distant shore, and many warships lined up along the coast, located on a slightly flat lake outside Qingpodang, facing the dangerous Qingpodang far away.

There are many warships, high and low, crowds of people, flags fluttering, the scene is quite grand.

Fan Zong stood on the bow of a large ship in the formation, frowned and looked at the environment, then turned his head and asked a man dressed as a scribe beside him:

"I don't know what the military adviser thinks?"

This scribe, dressed as a man, is a military adviser in Fan Zongzhai, called Du Ying, and he has learned a little bit about the formation of troops.

Du Ying stroked his beard and said:

"Village Master, this green **** is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Feng's people are few and weak. Naturally, he wants to rely on the location to defeat us. I saw a murderous look in the lake, but the enemy was nowhere to be seen. Most of them were in the reeds. In an ambush, I didn't hide my intention, just to see if I dare to go in."

Fan Zong's eyes rolled: "Since we know the opponent's plan, why not attack instead of besieging, guard the exit, cut off their supplies, and trap these people to death?"

Du Ying thought about it and said:

"I'm afraid this plan is inappropriate. The village master must not forget that Chen Feng is amazing in martial arts and is good at attacking camps. It cannot be judged by common sense. If we are always trapped and do not attack, it will give Chen Feng a place to use his martial arts. Changes come later, in my opinion, it is better to fight quickly."

In the face of Chen Feng, who is beyond common sense, it is difficult for him to use conventional thinking to make judgments. Ambush, but take the initiative to step in.

Fan Zong decided to adopt this plan and asked:

"Then I don't know what strategy the military division has to defeat the enemy?"

Du Ying pondered for a while, and said: "Now our army is powerful, we don't need any tricks, we should win the odds with righteousness. Keep encircling the formation, advance steadily, don't go deep in rashly, let the outer side walk around to scout around, and release the water ghost to spy. At the same time, cut down and burn the reeds blocking the road as much as possible, and break the geographical advantage, so that our army fleet can drive straight in, so that the enemy's ambush has nowhere to hide, forcing them to fight head-on. Long, the weakness of attacking the enemy's army... By the way, we must prevent Chen Feng from relying on force to kill the general and capture the flag, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

"Well, that makes sense."

Fan Zong's complexion relaxed, and he felt that this move was quite satisfactory.

At this moment, more than a dozen small boats were transferred from Qingpo Dang, Zhou Jing stood on one of the boats and sailed towards Fan Zong's huge fleet.

In the middle of the journey, more than a dozen small boats stopped and confronted Fan Zong and others from afar.

Zhou Jing glanced at the man in yellow at the bow of the building boat, recognized him as Fan Zong through his features, and shouted loudly:

"The one who came is King Jinlin, Fan Da is the head of the family?"

"Exactly."

Fan Zong responded, looked at Zhou Jing, and then said angrily:

"Hmph, you are Chen Feng, the devil in the world? You have really admired your name for a long time! I respect you as a hero, and I wanted to befriend you with courtesy, but you have no reason to take my territory, can you treat me as a bully? "

"Haha, Master Fan, don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting you." Zhou Jing stood with arms folded, and said with a loud smile: "I've heard for a long time that the three dragons in Huyang are not ordinary people, but in fact they are nothing. Your military might today Although Sheng, but in my eyes, you are all chickens and dogs, I think you might as well surrender to me directly, and you can save your flesh and blood."

What you said is no different from the fact that everyone here is trash.

Hearing this, many leaders under Fan Zong's command immediately became angry and cursed loudly.

Fan Zong was also furious, and shouted: "Chen Feng! Don't be crazy! How dare you look down on me, Huyang hero, today I will let you know how powerful I am!"

"Oh? Then I don't know which Huyang hero, dare to come up to take my shot?"

With a hook on Zhou Jing's foot, he kicked the iron pan dragon gun into the air, grabbed it casually, turned his wrist around, and the eighty-jin iron gun was like a light wooden stick in his hand .

The voice fell, and the shouting and cursing in Fan Zong's formation fell silent instantly, and no one answered.

Just kidding, if we haven't heard your story, we will fight you one-on-one if we don't want to die!

Fan Zong was not ashamed, and hummed: "Chen Feng, our army is powerful now, and I'm not interested in fighting with you."

At this moment, a small boat next to Zhou Jing sailed forward suddenly.

Duan Yunfeng stood on the boat and deliberately said aggressively:

"Huyang hero, with just this little courage, An Neng has the reputation of being a hero? You don't need my brother to do anything, I, Duan Yunfeng, are enough to deal with you and other idiots."

Hearing this, all the leaders in Fan Zong's formation became angry and clamored again, asking for a fight one after another.

Duan Yunfeng's reputation in Green Forest Road is not obvious, and Huyang Qunhao doesn't recognize him.

If it’s Chen Feng and Guo Haishen, it’s fine, what kind of onion are you, a nobody with the surname Duan, who deserves to despise us?

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, and seeing that Chen Feng was not out of battle, Fan Zong thought for a while, turned his head and nodded to one of the leaders, and said, "Brother Ling, please take down this man and show your strength for our army."

As long as it's not a one-on-one fight with Chen Feng, then he doesn't mind letting the leader of his subordinates fight, especially during this period when Yunfeng is still a nobody.

In battles in the green forest, two armies confront each other, and it is common for the two armies to fight each other. In water battles, the two sides will each have a small boat, which is connected to the side in the center.

"Just look at me."

The leader surnamed Ling nodded calmly, then boarded a small boat and headed straight for Duan Yunfeng.

There are more than ten leaders in Fan Zong's village, among them there are two masters, this man is one of them, he is called Ling Tong, he makes two short spears connected by a chain in the middle, and the nickname of Lvlin is "Earth Grabbing Wind". Martial arts are very extraordinary.

Under the full gaze of the two armies, small boats meet each other in the middle of the two armies, and the fight suddenly breaks out.

Duan Yunfeng had two swords in his hands, fierce and tricky, Ling Tong was holding two guns, quick and fast, both of them were nimble and fast attacks.

For a moment, swords, lights and guns danced all over the place, and the two figures tossed and turned on the narrow boat, fighting evenly.

After fighting for forty or fifty rounds, Ling Tong gradually lost his strength. He realized that he was not an opponent, so he rushed to force Duan Yunfeng away with several quick attacks, and decided to jump into the river to run.

However, Duan Yunfeng had quick eyesight and quick hands, and when Ling Tong just fell into the water, he immediately stabbed his sword straight into the water.

The next moment, a smear of blood rose from the surface of the lake.

Water splashed everywhere, Ling Tong struggled to float up, was grabbed by Duan Yunfeng, slipped back to the boat, and was kicked unconscious.

"Ah, brother Ling! It hurts me too!"

Seeing that the master under his command had been captured, Fan Zong screamed anxiously.

Duan Yunfeng retracted his sword, and shouted: "How dare you show your abilities? You can't overestimate yourself!"

In Fan Zong's formation, there was complete silence.

Many leaders and minions were all shocked. The other side unexpectedly sent out an unknown **** at random, and they were able to capture one of the best experts on their side?

How many powerful people are there under Chen Feng's command?

Seeing this, Du Ying immediately said:

"Village Master, Lingtou has lost for a while, and the morale of the sons and daughters is low. You can't fight again, just cover up and kill them, and push forward."

"Okay, let's beat the drums and march!"

Fan Zong gritted his teeth and gave orders loudly.

Soon ~IndoMTL.com~ a war drum sounded, and Fan Zong's navy marched forward.

Seeing this, Duan Yunfeng hurried back to Zhou Jing in a small boat.

"Fortunately not disgraceful."

He nods in greeting.

It was planned before the start of the battle. Taking advantage of his lack of fame, he specially sent out a general to fight against the opponent's morale.

"Brother did a good job."

Zhou Jing praised, then looked at the approaching navy, and locked his eyes on the flagship ship under heavy cover.

"According to the plan, let the brothers use the water channel to disperse the harassment, and retreat while fighting, and lure the enemy to go deep. When I get to the position, it is time for me to show my power."

After speaking, a dozen of their small boats retreated immediately and disappeared into the reed marshes.
