Chapter 40 Chapter 4 The Slinging Game

Long Ying climbed from the cabin on the fourth floor to the main hall on the fifth floor. There were five banquets, but only a group of beauties were eating, and the others gathered around a corner as if they were discussing a certain topic. Seeing Longying, Hengkong Muye waved: "Brother Longying, come quickly!" One of them was Dan Leixi, a handsome young Tubo expert who offered the big iron bow in his hands with both hands. After taking the iron bow, Long Ying pulled the bow string a few times, each time it opened like a full moon, nodded and said: I have seen this bow from afar, and it really is a bow of a thousand stones, with a top-quality arrow it can hit a target a thousand paces away.

Everyone showed disbelief, including Hengkong Muye and Fang Jun. Hengkong Muye smiled wryly and said: I can easily draw this bow to the full, but if I want to be like Brother Long Ying who doesn't need to raise Qi luck, and doesn't need to sit on a horse, and look effortless, I will be willing to bow down. Long Ying smiled and said: Of course it is not the case, the difference is only due to the unique inner strength and mind of the younger brother. Fang Jun said: "Master Ying, please look, this is the most powerful Tianhuomen." On the big round table was an extra-long arrow, which was shaped like a cross two inches from the front of the arrow, and four round balls filled with kerosene and wrapped in layers of paper scraps were attached to it, as well as a fire starter.

It can be imagined that if the sail is shot, it will definitely catch fire quickly and burn the entire roof. Longying lowered his big iron bow.He picked up Tianhuofen, measured the weight with his hand, frowned and said: Even with a big iron bow, with a tailwind, the range is at most 300 paces.His grandma's! Fang Jun showed a look of admiration, and said: Master Ying is very pertinent. Hengkong Muye said solemnly: "The situation is quite bad now. The three ships are gradually approaching as you expected. Now they are only two miles behind us. According to the general's estimation, they can catch up with the Fengming within half an hour."

Fang Jun was full of worry, and said: "The weather turned bad about an hour ago, and it will be a dark night tonight. Even if we use a special lantern to illuminate the rear, the field of vision can only be extended to a hundred paces away." That is to say, the enemy ships will not show up until they are within a hundred paces. Everyone knows that their own side loses the advantage of long-distance attack, and the ones who suffer in melee combat are the huge ships that lack flexibility. What's more, the initiative is completely in the opponent's hands, and the Fengming will not attack until it enters the river section where the enemy is ambushing.

Fang Jun had a headache and said: "There is no place to berth for more than a hundred miles downstream, even if you want to avoid the battle." Longying laughed and said: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful."These little thieves dare to mess with my brother Long Ying and disturb Qing Xing, who is visiting him, because they are impatient.His grandma’s, they take advantage of the dark moon and wind to make them invisible, and I will be responsible for lighting them. When they become slender, it’s a good time for our distinguished Tubo guests to practice target, so that they can hunt in the Grand Canal Bar!

Hengkong Makino said happily: There is such a wonderful entertainment program tonight?Tell us quickly. Long Ying said happily: "It's very simple. The first step is to ignite three sky fires, and the second step is to throw the younger brother with a trebuchet towards the enemy ship. The younger brother Bao Bao can hit the masts of the three ships in the air, and the fire oil is splashed. Isn't it possible?" Illuminate the enemy? Everyone stared at him as if listening to a fairy tale. Fang Jun said: But when the enemy ship can't be seen, how do you know when to throw Master Ying to the enemy?

Long Ying said confidently: This is also on me.ha!Really cool. Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, he laughed dumbly and said: "My little brother knows that you are worried about my archery skills, and you will launch consecutive shots in the sky in the dark night in an instant.How about this!Let's do an experiment, if the younger brother can't do it, he will give up this method. Hengkong Muye happily said: The longer we spend with Brother Long, the more fun we will have.His grandma's!If you can't shoot you in the air, how can you test your amazing skill of volleying arrows in the night?

Long Ying laughed and said: "Brother Hengkong can speak vulgar words, he is indeed a member of my generation.The method of testing is very interesting, we will talk as we go. The sun had sunk into the west mountain, the Grand Canal was in a daze, the buildings and boats were dark and the lights were black, and the river wind was blowing in gusts, which made people feel colder. The dragon eagle stands on the launch bowl of the trebuchet, facing the main building, with a high mast sail in the middle. Hengkong Muye, Fang Jun, and seven or eight brothers who were in charge of operating the trebuchet surrounded him, all worried to death.

The others all concentrated on the top platform or the rear deck to see if Long Ying could perform this almost impossible archery performance. Long Ying held the bow in one hand, and between the fingers of the other held three powerful arrows that were made of stones and weighed as much as Tian Huo Fen, and said easily: "It's dark enough!"emission! Fang Jun said worriedly: The general is most afraid that Master Ying will hit the sail. Longying said: Don't worry!I just use the power of the trebuchet, and the direction and angle are all under my control. Fang Jun shouted: Launch!

boom! The throwing arm of the trebuchet shot upwards, and the dragon eagle shot upwards like a stone bullet, narrowly passed the top of the sail, and came to a height of more than forty feet from the top platform. The figure kept shrinking, and finally did not enter In the dark. blow!blow!blow! Three arrows shot down from a high place, hitting the thick wooden poles erected at the stern of the boat half a foot apart. Then the dragon eagle fell from the sky, flipped three times in a row, and landed on the stern deck. The cheers were thunderous, and everyone screamed hoarsely, ecstatically.

Meixiunafu threw herself into Longying's arms. Long Ying teased her chin with his fingers, and said: Wake up! Meixiu Nafu said shyly: It is for people to wake up. Long Ying hugged her and walked over to Hengkong Muye and Fang Jun who came to congratulate her, and said: Eat your stomach first, then play stone throwing. The dinner was held enthusiastically, and the Tubo masters were high-spirited, chewing heartily, and everything was ready, just waiting for the enemy ships to attack. Longying and Hengkong Muye occupied a table exclusively, while Meixiunafu was escorted by the beauties to ask questions, needless to say, it was all about her and Longying. Hengkong Muye turned around and said: "It's weird, Meixiu Nafu is very easy to blush now, your brother is really good at it." Seeing that Longying was eating happily, he said: "What you eat is something made by the ship's imperial cook. He is indeed a superb cook. Everyone is roasted leg of lamb. What you roast is much more delicious than what we cook ourselves."Cut off a piece of mutton with a knife and put it into Longying's mouth. Longying protested: Don't feed me! Hengkong Muye smiled and said: I feed people too much, I want to try what it's like to feed people. Meixiunafu came back, and said happily, "Let me feed Master Ying." Knowing that she would sit in her arms next, Long Ying pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit here obediently for me." Meixiu Nafu sat next to him with a face full of reluctance, and when Longying picked up a piece of chicken and put it into her little mouth, Fang turned from anger to joy. Hengkong Makino said in surprise: Meixiu Nafu didn't know there would be a water battle tonight?How do you go to war while you dress up like a bird of prey? Meixiu Nafu said triumphantly: "I wore it for Lord Eagle to see. With him protecting me, Meixiu Nanafu only needs to wave the flag and cheer for me tonight." Hengkong Muye sighed to Longying: You have transformed the most brave and ruthless wild girl in Tubo, it is best to let her rest tonight so that she can return to the person she was before. He exchanged glances with Long Ying and laughed loudly at the same time. Meixiu Nafu stepped on her foot and coquettishly. Longying stopped laughing abruptly, and said in a deep voice: "It's time!" The lights of the building boats were almost all extinguished in the blink of an eye, only the three special lanterns at the bow were still on, so that the ships coming ahead could notice the presence of the building boats, but the enemy ships coming from behind could see them. Under the leadership of Di Renjie, the waterway traffic of the Grand Canal is strictly controlled. There are specific waterways for travel, and there are also sets of rules for Japanese and night flights. They must follow the instructions and do not allow themselves to make their own decisions. , everyone is clear about it, otherwise they will be punished according to law. boom! Putting on the dragon eagle that rests on the water, it is sent straight to the sky ten feet away by the trebuchet deployed at the stern, and submerged in the darkness of the Grand Canal, it is like being swallowed by the darkness. The dragon eagle is like flying through the clouds and riding the fog, and there is a moving feeling of being free and happy after all the shackles have been lifted.He also climbed from the ordinary demonic heart to the extreme realm of demonic extreme, which is a completely absolute state of knowing the enemy. Everything about the enemy ship falls into his demonic eyes, and the darkness has no effect on him at all. At this time, the enemy ship closest to him is the enemy ship directly in front, only more than ten feet below, with its speed, it will be able to enter the attack position in less than ten breaths. There are more than a hundred enemies on board, all of them are wearing night clothes, and they are ready to attack. treat. There is a catapult on the left and right sides of the bow, and a crossbow machine in the middle. It should be a fireball, but it must be a rocket. The enemy ship is several feet ahead, and can enter the position of flanking the building ship in the next moment. The situation is extremely dangerous. The building boat suddenly plunged into the darkness, which was beyond the enemy's expectation, and it panicked for a while. On Fengming's side, everyone moved to the most favorable tactical position, waiting for the battle to come. Although everyone is full of confidence in Long Ying because of his previous demonstration performance, but now he is facing a real battlefield, and there is only one chance, and there is no room for loss.Moreover, the sky is thick with clouds, the stars and the moon are dark, the big river is blowing with cold winds, blowing head-on, and the water waves are tossing. It is a lie to say that you are not worried. At the beginning, the gunpowder held by Longying's fingers could be seen igniting a faint fire, but as he moved away, it disappeared suddenly. Hengkong Muye and others were ready to wait for the opportunity to come. Meixiu Nafu also came to the left side of the watchtower, bowed her bow and set her arrows, ready for battle.Catapults and crossbow arrows are ready.Fang Jun and his brothers will shoot rockets. Since it takes time to ignite, the responsibility of killing the enemy with fast arrows falls on the Tubo warriors. In fact, the opportunities of both sides are equal. Once the attack starts, the buildings and boats will also appear. It depends on who can seize the opportunity first. Hengkong Muye's subordinates are all experienced in many battles, but the strange situation in front of them is unprecedented in their life, exciting and tense, the whole situation is like a bowstring in their hands, it is bound to happen. blow!blow!blow! The fire of the sky drew three bright flame marks in the night sky, with a long tail like a firework. With everyone looking up and looking forward, they spread rapidly to the left, middle, right, and down. It seemed to be slow but really fast. To the top of the throat, breathing stops. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on this time. The enemy screamed and panicked, and for a while did not understand what was coming. Benedict! The enemy ship right in front was first hit by an arrow, and Tian Huo Fen hit the top of the mainmast with unbelievable accuracy, and then exploded thousands of sparks and flames, spraying the sails and the cabin deck below like a rain of fire go. The other two Skyfires hit the mainmasts of the left and right ships in the blink of an eye, repeating the situation of the Skyfires burning the boats once. The enemy ships were all exposed to the flames. The building and boat roared with joy. Arrows, rockets, catapults, and crossbow arrows were fired at once, launching a devastating attack on three enemy ships at the same time. Tubo sharpshooters such as Hengkong Muye specially selected the enemies on the three ships who were in charge of crossbow machines and catapults to feed them powerful arrows, so that the enemies could not launch a counterattack with great lethality. The rockets fired by the strong bows of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty drew thousands of trajectories shining in the night sky, and sprinkled towards the enemy ships like a meteor shower. When the dragon eagle fell into the icy water of the Grand Canal, the enemy could no longer withstand the first round of furious attack and was completely defeated.With a bow in one hand, he dived towards the enemy ship from the bottom of the water. That kind of weightless floating made him, who doesn't understand water at all, feel happy like a fish. At the moment of entering the water, he felt like a dragon returning to the deep sea, sensing everything in the water. He didn't intend to board the enemy ship and start a massacre, he just wanted to use his spiritual sense to capture the most powerful leader of the opponent in the dark water, preferably without disturbing the other opponents, and take him back to the building boat. The three enemy ships burned and sank one by one. The building boat did not hurt a single person, and the damage was slight. It was a veritable victory. This was not only Longying's first water battle, but also the first time for Hengkong Muye and others. There was a splash of water. Hengkong Muye threw the long rope in his hand, and then used his kung fu to push the rope straight, so that Long Ying, who appeared on the water, could grab it firmly and drag him up with all his strength. Longying fell to the deck dripping wet, and put the person he was carrying on the deck, and put his other arm around the blonde beauty who threw himself into his arms, and shouted: Be careful!This guy doesn't know martial arts, don't let him catch a cold. Fang Jun was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly ordered people to escort the prisoner into the cabin for disposal. Hengkong Makino patted Meixiu Nafu's fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile: Make way. Meixiunafu looked helpless, reluctant to let go of Longying. Hengkong Muye took his place, hugged Longying, and said loudly: On behalf of our soldiers, Hengkong Muye pays the highest salute to Longying. Leaving for a while, sighed: With your elder brother here, the most dangerous thing can turn into the greatest pleasure, never before has it been so exciting and enjoyable. Only then let him go. Long Ying thought it was over, but he didn't know that the other Tubo masters hugged him enthusiastically one by one, and he was not used to being intimate with men, so he had to go to the countryside to do as the Romans did. The ship was restored to brightly lit condition. Everyone's vigilance did not relax until they safely crossed Shenxian Beach, the overall situation was settled, and the building boat set sail southward. Longying changed into dry clothes under Meixiu Nafu's service, made out with her again, and went back to the cabin. The cabin was full of noise, everyone was not sleepy at all, and they were still excitedly talking about the battle just now.There were more than ten people from Fang Jun's side, they were relatively high-ranking soldiers. Obviously, after fighting side by side, the soldiers of the two sides broke the barrier and were no longer restrained. Longying sat down next to Hengkong Muye, and Meixiu Nafu wisely joined the group of beauties so as not to hinder the men from talking about business. Fang Jun said: "The prisoner really doesn't know martial arts, but fortunately he is still in good health. Although he caught a cold, he should be fine soon." Hengkong Muye said: Aren't you going to catch the opponent with the highest martial arts?Why did he catch a poor man and come back? Long Ying said: "Although he doesn't know martial arts, he was escorted by someone with the highest martial arts to escape to the land bank. Who do you think I should arrest?" Hengkong Muye laughed dumbly and said: Brother is indeed a wonderful person. Fang Jun said: Tomorrow we should be able to torture this guy. Hengkong Muye said happily: I have a master torturer under my command, and I promise to make him betray his parents. Longying smiled and said: This is a great gift from us to the Holy Majesty, please don't touch even a single hair of him, and don't let him have a chance to commit suicide.The Holy One personally dealt with him and obtained first-hand information. Hengkong Muye said: Understood!No one understands the Holy Spirit Emperor's mind better than you. Fang Jun said: After arriving in Yangzhou, it should be absolutely safe to escort this person back to Shendu. Seeing that he seemed to still have something to say, Long Ying said, "I will write the report and hand it over to General Fang before dawn, and send it back to Shendu with a carrier pigeon." Fang Jun blushed and said: Lord Ying, please tell the truth, otherwise if the Holy Majesty sees it through Long Ying smiled and said: Don't worry!I will never exaggerate to the point that it was General Fang who was sent high into the sky by the trebuchet. I only need to say that it was General Fang who found the enemy ship suspicious.Is it right? Fang Jun is overjoyed and thanks. The tuk tuk. The raindrops hit the roof of the cabin, and the rain became heavier in a short while, and the window was completely white. Hengkong Muye stretched his waist and said: "The night is cold and rainy, and there is still a few hours before dawn, so get a good night's sleep!" Long Ying patted him on the shoulder, thinking that if it wasn't for the ghosts and gods who came to accompany him on the trip to the Three Gorges, the consequences would be unimaginable.
