Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Seeing the rebel boats approaching constantly, Yuchi Baolin and the other four were unavoidably flustered. This was the first time they encountered such a situation, and they fought on the water.

This is also the first time I met Li Yi'an, but he was very calm, and Su Dingfang also remained calm. It is useless to panic now, and his eyes are fixed on the approaching boats.

"The distance is almost there, prepare to fight back!"

With a loud cry, Li Yi'an raised his crossbow and shot at a rebel.

Swish!

The crossbow arrow hit the traitor's neck, spraying blood.

The traitor tossed and fell into the water, splashing a splash.

Su Lie and the others quickly counterattacked with their crossbows. The arrows shot out, and in the blink of an eye, several rebels were hit and fell into the water.

There were also bows and arrows among the rebels. Seeing this, they quickly drew up their bows and set up their arrows. However, they were stunned for a moment, and their eyes widened as they watched their arrows fall straight into the water when they were still a certain distance away from Li Yi'an and his boat.

This is not normal, why can Li Yi'an and his arrows shoot such a long distance?

Li Yi'an's bow and crossbow had a much farther range than theirs, and at the moment when these rebels were stunned, another row of crossbow arrows shot at them, and more than ten people fell down in an instant.

"Hurry back and get rid of them."

Seeing that the rebel boat was still approaching, Li Yi'an urged: "Shoot their punters!"

After finishing speaking, he shot another arrow, which hit the neck of a punting thief.

Su Lie was even faster, killing three people in the blink of an eye.

It's just that the person who punted the boat had just been shot, and someone took over immediately. The distance between the two sides continued to close, and they soon entered the range of the rebels' bows and arrows.

The rebels can finally bend their bows to attack, and the arrows are overwhelming.

"Get down!"

It was still Su Lie who had rich experience. With a loud shout, he pulled hard and pushed down the soldiers who were punting beside him.

When the others saw it, they also got down one after another, and the arrows passed by.

The rebel's bow and arrow could not be fired in bursts. During the interval between changing arrows, Xue Li watched a boat rushing towards him, jumped up and landed in the enemy's boat.

This change was unexpected by the traitor. Before he could react, he was swung with a knife, and then everyone fell into the water and was quickly submerged.

Seeing that Xue Li had seized a boat, the rest of the rebels rushed towards Xue Li one after another.

"Rengui, continue!"

Li Yi'an shouted loudly, raised his bow and crossbow to cover him.

Seeing that the enemy's ship was approaching again, he also jumped towards a ship and hacked two people to death with one knife.

The rest of the people on the boat wanted to fight back, but just as they raised their weapons, they were hacked by Li Yi'an again.

Xue Li's confidence was greatly boosted by the encouragement, he picked up the oars and rowed towards the nearest rebel without a teacher. With a wave of Mo Dao, all the arrows that came quickly were knocked down, and he jumped over when he found the opportunity to continue the chaos kill.

"Protect yourselves, don't get shot by arrows, and don't fall into the water!"

Su Lie gave a loud shout.

He lives in the north, and this is the first time he has experienced this kind of water combat, but he is not timid at all. He jumped over to snatch the boat just like Xue Li, but the boat turbulently almost threw him off.

After capturing a few ships, the rest of the rebels finally knew how powerful they were, and they didn't dare to approach them any more. After pulling away from them, they bent their bows and shot arrows, but the bows and arrows were not as good as Li Yian's crossbow, and more and more people were shot many.

Originally, they were going to chase and kill, but they became the one being killed, and the change was too fast.

One of the rebels shouted loudly, but they didn't know what they were talking about. Everyone retreated, how arrogant they were when they came, and how panicked and embarrassed they are when they run away now.

"No need to chase!"

Li Yi'an shook his head and said, "Take back the boat we snatched back."

The rebels returned to the water village, and before they calmed down, Rondo came down from the upper room.

"Is Li Yi'an here?"

Rondo looked towards the surface of the water, and his eyes extended to Li Yi'an's camp.

"it's him!"

"Those people are very powerful. They have a kind of bow and crossbow that can shoot a long distance. We are no match in close combat. We lost dozens of people and ships. It was very difficult to escape."

"Boss, do we really want to fight them? We may not win!"

Those rebels who came back alive talked a lot, creating a kind of pressure on Rondo invisibly.

"Boss, I don't think there is anything to worry about."

A man beside him stepped forward and said, "There are only a few generals around Li Yi'an. If I'm not wrong, the ones who came out just now are those few people. Of course they are powerful generals, but not all their soldiers are so strong."

Rondo nodded and said, "You are right."

He pondered for a while, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Li Yi'an returned to his camp, and looked in the direction of the water village, thoughtfully.

"Sir, this time we snatched seven ships back."

Chang Sun Chong said: "We have also seen the ability of anti-thief water warfare. What do you think, sir?"

"Their water coordination is very good. This time it's not that they are too weak, but some of us are too strong."

Li Yi'an thought for a while, and then said: "Find a local who is willing to help us, and I need to clarify some things."

Su Lie asked, "Do you have any ideas, sir?"

"Use fire!"

Li Yi'an said.

He thought of burning Chibi, and also thought that during the Poyang Lake water battle, Zhu Yuanzhang burned Chen Youliang's warship with fire.

Combined with the characteristics of the anti-thief water village, I think it is feasible to use fire.

However, Huo Gong needs to combine the right time and place, and even burning Chibi needs an east wind. He doesn't seem to have these, so he has to find ways to create enough conditions.

"Sir, have you made a mistake? How can you use fire on the water?"

Li Dejian asked puzzledly.

Li Yi'an said confidently: "Help me find someone who is familiar with the climate and wind direction here, it will definitely be possible."

As a local aristocrat, Rondo must have done a lot of things to oppress civilians. There must be some people who are upset and want to resist. Such people should not be difficult to find.

"Follow the instructions of the master first. Since the husband said so, there must be a reason."

Su Lie said.

That night, Yuchi Baolin brought back an old man in his fifties.

"I've seen the general!"

The old man also knew how to speak the Central Plains dialect, so he slightly arched his hands.

"Old man, you're welcome. I want to know, when Ye Yuze blows the north wind, when does it usually blow the south wind?"

Li Yian asked again.

Su Lie's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he understood what Li Yi'an meant by "using fire".

If there is a gust of wind to help, the fire attack is absolutely no problem.

"It's still early!"

The old man thought for a while and said, "There are still seventeen or eight days before the next south wind blows. General, can you really defeat Rondo?"

Seventeen or eighteen days?

The time is a bit long, and I am afraid that something will happen in the middle, after all, this is not their home field.

"Don't worry, old man, if I dare to come, I have the confidence to defeat Rondo."

Li Yi'an thought for a while, and then said: "The old man seems to hate Rondo?"

"It's not just me who hates him, there are people in several nearby villages who don't hate him!"

Speaking of this, the old man was very emotional, as if Rondo had done something unreasonable to them.
