Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 338: Night Attack on the Fantian

In Qutang Gorge, the Yangtze River is vast and hundreds of boats are competing for the current.

The warm sunlight blown by the breeze from the river hits the faces, soft and comfortable, making those middle-aged teachers and leaders unconsciously recall their youth.

As for the young boys, they are thinking about themselves a few years or even a dozen years later.

When I grow up a little, will I be able to visit this place again? What will it be like then?

Lu Ping had no idea how other people would develop in the future, but he felt that he would not have many opportunities to come back here to go boating on the river.

So he cherishes this rare opportunity very much.

"The boat seems to be sailing very fast in this Qutang Gorge!"

After sighing at the river and looking at the scenery on both sides, Lu Ping suddenly remembered the ancient poem he learned when he was in school -

The White Emperor's farewell speech is among the colorful clouds. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This poem is Li Bai's "Early Departure from Baidi City", which was written in the second year of Qianyuan. He was exiled to Yelang and was pardoned and returned halfway, which was eight years ago.

"That should be what happened in the 'Fengtian Zhengdao' version. It was the same as now, with several sects joining forces to attack the Twelve Linked Docks."

"However, there is no Righteous Alliance in the Jianghu Alliance this time."

When it comes to the Righteous Alliance, Lu Ping can't help but feel a little strange.

What happened in Qutang Gorge should have been reported in the Tang Daily by Yinyuan's spies in the next few days and spread throughout the world.

Logically speaking, given Xie Yuan's character, after hearing about the situation here, the people in the Haoqi League should have immediately sent members to support the heroes in attacking the bandits.

But up to now, Lu Ping has not heard any relevant movement, which makes him wonder if something has happened to the Righteous Alliance.

As for what it will be...

It must be those guys from the Evil Valley who interfered and delayed the opportunity to fight!
After a day and night of sailing, the coalition forces arrived at their new stronghold at Twelve Linked Docks.

The ships in the Twelve Linked Docks are all large warships, each of which can accommodate two to three hundred people.

More than 60,000 people means only two or three hundred ships.

这几百艘船在江面上，分成数个小方阵，每个方阵则根据需要，分成‘5×5’‘8×8’，或者‘2×3’‘3×4’‘3×6’的方式，把船排列得井然有序。

Within the square formation, the sails are connected to each other with iron chains, and they are connected from head to tail, forming a whole. They are not afraid of wind and waves, and people standing on them can feel like walking on flat ground, and can even ride horses.

The phalanxes can also be connected with iron chains like the ships inside the phalanx, but for the convenience of movement and fire prevention, Gong Ao rarely connects multiple phalanxes to move.

Each square formation will have a dedicated person in charge, also known as the 'square formation leader'.

The leader of the phalanx is responsible for commanding the ships under his command. In addition to shouting at each other, they and other phalanx leaders often use smoke, flags, etc. to transmit signals.

From a distance, the combination of ships and formations looked like a huge detachable warship that combined marching, fighting and daily life.

Gong Ao called it "Fantian".

In terms of technology, the Fantian also received the support of two skilled craftsmen, Tang Huairen and Situ Yiyi, and was equipped with the most perfect, complete and high-quality naval warfare equipment.

Such as strong bows and crossbows, steel forks, iron swords, shields, rope cannons, etc., everything is available.

It can be said that this "Fantian" is more suitable than Baidi City to be the headquarters of a group of pirates.

Because Baidi City is dead, but Fantianhao is alive.

With it, Gong Ao can not only travel across both sides of Qutang Gorge, but also the entire Yangtze River will obey his orders.

"The iron chain connects the boats, isn't he afraid of fire attack?"

"Gong Ao actually came up with such a stupid arrangement. Is it because he is uneducated?"

Lu Ping knew that Gong Ao had not read many books.

Looking at the hugeness in the distance, Lu Ping couldn't help but feel puzzled, and turned to tell Ye Wei, Yang Ning and others his thoughts.

Ye Wei replied: "Of course, ordinary ships would be afraid of fire if they did this, but those ships are not!"

"why is that?"

Could it be that these ships were coated with fire-retardant paint made with Boruto as raw material?

"As you can see, the iron chains connecting the ships can be quickly disassembled and connected."

"If there is a fire, the people on board can disconnect the burning ship as quickly as possible."

"And it is said that every ship is equipped with a special water diversion device, which does not require too much manpower. Just pull the valve and you can easily pump water from the river to put out the fire."

Is it something like a water pump?
It seems that this is what the intelligence said, Tang Huairen and Situ Yiyi provided technical support to the "Fantian".

Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"It seems that we are still very lucky!"

According to the plan discussed by everyone before, they would split up into several groups of soldiers and make some noise on the outer layer of the Fantian, so as to attract the attention of the patrolling pirates on the ship.

When the pirates' attention was diverted and most of their personnel were transferred outside, they sent out a small but powerful team to launch a surprise attack.

The mission of this team is to attack the center of the army as quickly as possible and subdue Gong Ao.

Part of the planned 'creating disturbances' involved the pirates setting fire to the area.

Under normal circumstances, the "fire attack plan" would definitely be greatly reduced due to the "flexible disassembly and assembly" feature of the Fantian and the "water pump" tool. But this time is different.

In order to restrain the Shang Shui Book, Lu Ping will freeze the surface of the river into ice.

The river was frozen, so the water pumps could not pump water and the fire could not be put out.

At that time, whether it was a single light boat, a connected square fleet, or the center of the "Fantian" where Gong Ao was...

The entire Twelve Linked Docks will be destroyed on the glacier and in the sea of ​​fire!
"If it's just fire prevention and killing enemies, we can still help."

"But the rest depends on whether your magic can achieve the desired effect!"

Yang Ning patted Lu Ping's shoulder with a serious look.

Seeing this, Lu Ping smiled brightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

……

After nightfall, Qutang Gorge was shrouded in darkness.

Unlike the warm and gentle daytime, the night was a bad day with no moon, no stars, cloudy and foggy weather.

The front, back, left and right of the Fantian were all covered in hazy mist, making it difficult to distinguish anything more than ten meters away.

In the outermost circle, on a certain ship, a pirate who was on night watch was yawning and complaining to his companions who were standing guard beside him from time to time.

"Do you think the weather tonight is not very good..."

The pirate who was being addressed weakly agreed: "Yeah, it feels like something bad is going to happen."

In this kind of weather, let alone working the night shift, it's hard to get motivated even if it's a blank slate.

Now these pirates who are on guard at night just want to go back to their rooms, boil a pot of hot wine, eat a few plates of good meat and vegetables, and slowly enjoy the few moments that belong to them.

Suddenly, the captain of the ship came up from behind them and gave an impolite order.

"The weather is unusual tonight, all of you guys should pay attention!"

After being yelled at by him, the pirates who were already dissatisfied, even though they knew the weather was unusual, started to speak in the opposite direction.

"What's so unusual about that? The boss always uses these messed up excuses to put on airs!"

"Bah, sooner or later I will take his place and become the boss myself!"

As a few people were complaining, suddenly a strong and cold wind blew over the river.

The gloomy wind brought with it an unknown black fog, which arrived in an instant and enveloped the fleet. The vision of the pirates was immediately reduced from ten meters to less than three meters.

Now, not only could they not pay attention to the movements on the river, they couldn't even see the faces of their companions beside them clearly.

"what happened?!"

"Is it windy or foggy?"

The captain immediately realized that something was wrong and shouted: "Everyone, be alert!!"

Seeing that the situation was indeed different from before, the pirates who had been complaining just now did not dare to continue playing around. Their hearts skipped a beat and they could not help but tighten their weapons in their hands.

They all knew that during this period, the Twelve Linked Docks had aroused public anger, and many heroes from the martial arts world rushed to Qu Tang Gorge to suppress the bandits. They also destroyed several water strongholds here, causing countless casualties among the brothers.

With the lessons learned from them, these people dare not take their lives lightly.

It's a dark, windy night with fog rising over the river. Isn't this the best opportunity to attack?

Some timid pirates panicked when they saw this situation and subconsciously wanted to return to the main force. So they immediately shouted loudly and ran around on the boat like headless flies.

The cries for help, the sounds of footsteps, the strong wind blowing the sails, the river water hitting the boats, and other chaotic sounds all came together, causing emotions of fear and uneasiness to wander between people and spread between boats.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

More and more pirates are losing their composure.

At this time, on the high peak near the shore, there was a man standing alone against the wind, with his feet on the seven stars, his hands making hand gestures, and casting a spell of wind and fog.

"Curse: Wind Ghost Hundred Miles!"

Spiritual energy is transformed and the spell is cast.

Instantly, tens of thousands of ghosts, accompanied by a cold and chilling wind, crawled out of the Nine Nether Spring, reappeared in the world, and harassed the living.

Crying, wailing, cursing, complaining...

The negative emotions of the ghosts and spirits are invisible, soundless and colorless, but they actually linger in the air, spreading over a hundred miles across the Qutang Gorge.

Retracting his magic, Lu Ping took a step forward, looking down from his high vantage point, overlooking the movements on the river, listening to the noisy sounds brought by the wind, his expression extremely serious and his eyes extremely earnest.

Here, he can see the situation on the river more clearly.

Most of the fleet formations scattered on the river were now shrouded in black fog.

Moreover, the pirates on the ship were affected by the evil wind, ghosts and evil spirits, and almost all of them fell into panic.

"The foreplay is over, now it's time for the heroes to take action!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of waves could be heard faintly from the river in the distance.
