People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 468 Flame Hurricane, Serial Battleship

"Let go!" Li Xuan's cold voice echoed over the Wujiang River.

Suddenly, on both sides of the bank, a dozen catapults simultaneously projected countless fire bombs.

As if countless calculations had already been made, each fireball hit the battleship with incomparable precision.

After one round, a new round follows.

In an instant, it seemed as if the fireballs all over the sky were about to submerge the river bend.

The five warships trapped in the center of the "Zhi" immediately burst into flames.

Only these five ships were on fire. Wen Fu's place and the four ships behind him were not on fire at all.

"You want to capture me alive!" Wen Fuzhi immediately understood Li Xuan's plan.

……

Above the Wujiang River, Li Xuan looked up at the night sky above her head, at this moment most of the sky was covered by dark clouds.

Lowering her head, Li Xuan looked at Wen Fuzhi, passed him and looked further back, and then said directly: "Run away, get off the boat now, swim to the shore, and then abandon your weapons and surrender. This king promises that those who promised you before will still be gone." It is effective, if it is too late, don't talk about it, you will die!"

With a "plop", a figure jumped directly into the water, and quickly rowed towards the shore.

Immediately afterwards, countless "plop plop" sounds sounded, and more people began to swim towards the shore quickly.

A small boat was lowered from the big boat, but immediately, a fireball hit it directly, and the small boat was smashed over in an instant.

The flames illuminated the four ships in the front that were already motionless, and Li Xuan's eyes lowered slightly.

Whether to capture them alive or keep them alive, Li Xuan really wanted to, but unfortunately, the number of catapults at his hand was limited after all.

After some consideration, Li Xuan had a choice.

Instead of fully blooming and allowing all enemies to have the power to fight back, it is better to just cut off a finger.

No, it's three fingers.

Seeing Li Xuan like this, Wen Fuzhi's expression became more and more gloomy. Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly.

The wind around him suddenly became stronger for no reason, and it even showed signs of getting stronger, making his clothes rustle in the air.

Wen Fuzhi looked at the sky above his head, and the black breath had spread rapidly from the eastern sky.

The bright moon and stars above the night sky were quickly covered.

Under the light of the fire, he could clearly see that the sails on the mast of the official ship where Li Xuan was on had already been unloaded.

It can even be seen very clearly that the official ship that Li Xuan is on does not know what is in it, and the draft is very heavy.

Not only his ship, but the few ships behind him were also in almost the same situation, being less affected by the strong wind.

Even so, Li Xuan's official ship was still moving slowly.

Wen Fuzhi turned his head and looked behind him, seeing that their boats were firmly blocked by the chains that locked the river.

Under the gust of wind, although it was impossible to move forward, it was also impossible to retreat easily.

Even if the King of Nanchang came before them, they would still have a chance to catch him, kill him, or even make a comeback.

"Order, everyone, abandon the ship, go ahead in a small boat, and capture the King of Nanchang alive." Wen Fuzhi gave up decisively and continued to wait.

He had a feeling that if he was really foolishly waiting to die, then he must be the one who died in the end.

The king of Nanchang didn't know how many means were waiting for him.

It's almost certain.

"Follow the order!" Zhu Xi immediately went down to make arrangements. This ship was full of his people, and he obeyed every order.

Wen Fuzhi turned his head and looked at Yuan Chao on the side, with a solemn expression: "Sima, in fact, I should congratulate you on your appointment as a servant, but it's a pity that the situation is like this, and I can't get away."

"Don't dare, the young master takes care of everything every day, and my subordinates..."

"Actually, you knew it a long time ago, right?" Wen Fuzhi interrupted Yuan Chao suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, you knew a long time ago that even if you were given the position of Shi Xu, you wouldn't be able to sit there for long. Therefore, you will betray without hesitation."

"Subordinate... this subordinate is just a stopgap measure, everything is to delay the young master's getting up." Yuan Chao's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Needless to say, in this matter, we are actually sorry for you and lied to you from the very beginning." Wen Fuzhi shook his head full of emotion, and said with a trace of apology in his voice: "So, this seat here I'm sorry to you... In addition, there is one more thing, I hope you can forgive me."

"Anything else?" Yuan Chao was taken aback for a moment, and Yuan Lin's figure subconsciously flashed in his mind.

For a moment of stupefaction, the knife light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then his heart hurt, and the blood flashed.

Wen Fuzhi appeared next to Yuan Chao in the blink of an eye, and whispered in his ear, "That's the matter, I'm sorry for you again, please forgive me."

In an instant, endless remorse and hatred flashed in Yuan Chao's eyes...

With a "bang", Yuan Chao's body fell directly at Wen Fuzhi's feet, and blood flowed out.

At this moment, Li Xuan's voice suddenly rang in Wen Fuzhi's ear: "Why are you doing this?"

"Betrayers, everyone gets them and punishes them." Wen Fuzhi turned around coldly, staring at Li Xuan who was more than a hundred meters away.

"It's a pity!" Li Xuan looked at Yuan Chao's body, sighed and said, "I originally planned to kill this person myself."

"You want to kill him?" Wen Fuzhi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Li Xuan in confusion: "Aren't you going to recruit him?"

"That's right, but the surrender is the surrender, and after all the meritorious service has been rewarded, it will be settled after the fall."

Li Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, and said with a sneer: "Muzhou Governor Shixu was born as a general, and the historians have been loyal for generations, so how could there be the so-called theory of raising troops to the side of the Qing emperor? There is even news that since the Tianyin sect Before the incident, no one had ever seen Shi Xu, and this Yuan Sima, sitting in the position of servant under the command of the chief executive, surrendered easily and begged for surrender, which is too unreasonable."

"So?" Wen Fuzhi stared at Li Xuan intently, he didn't expect Li Xuan to observe so many things in such a short period of time.

"I am afraid that Shi Xu, the governor of Muzhou, was already unlucky before you started the incident, and this Yuan Sima is your second-hand man. You plan to use him to replace the governor of Shi in the future. As for the end, he will pass on the position. I'll give it to you, Director Wen." Li Xuan revealed a trace of disdain.

Even if Wenfu's Tianyin Sect had an incident, they still paid attention to righteousness and integrity.

Shi Xu raised troops with Muzhou Inspector. After Shi Xu died, Yuan Chaoke succeeded him as Muzhou Inspector, Muzhou Governor, and Wuyue General Manager.

Finally, Yuan Chao passed on the positions of Wuyue General Manager, Muzhou Governor, and Muzhou Governor to Wen Fuzhi, so that Wen Fuzhi could stand in front of the stage in a legitimate manner.

This is much stronger than him directly rebelling, and it is easier to win the hearts of the people.

In this way, his identity as a descendant of the Yuwen family and the identity of the descendants of the former Chen would not need to be exposed.

Because of these two identities, the harm to him far outweighed the benefits.

When the Yuwen family killed Yang Guang back then, they knew that they had lost the hearts of the world's aristocratic families. Later, when they slaughtered Yangzhou, they didn't know how many life and death enmities they had made.

The governor of Runzhou was dedicated to his work, and the grandson of the former Sui general's nurse always remembered this matter all the time.

As for the former Chen, I don't know how many years it has been extinct. In this land in the south of the Yangtze River, how can there be any popular support.

To give you some face and help you keep your details secret is already the last love.

No one will help them rebel, and even if they make a move, countless people will immediately oppose it.

Therefore, they have worked so hard to come up with all kinds of methods.

……

"So you really know everything." The long knife in Wen Fuzhi's hand lowered slowly, and blood dripped down the blade quickly.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wen Fuzhi stared at Li Xuan firmly, the murderous intent in his eyes almost gushing out like blood.

"I'm sorry, what you did was so careless that you didn't even know there was a big problem inside yourself." Li Xuan sneered lightly.

A nail has been driven into Wen Fuzhi's heart by Li Xuan.

Wen Fuzhi frowned suddenly, looked at Li Xuan from a distance, and narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

Although he sensed some sinister intentions of Li Xuan, it was inevitable that his heart would be overwhelmed.

With a "plop", a small boat fell into the Wujiang River below.

Immediately after, more boats landed and rowed towards Li Xuan's place in an incomparably fast manner.

Wen Fu's footsteps were a little on the bow, and the next moment, he jumped directly onto the front of the boat.

In an instant, the whole boat was moving forward like an arrow.

Li Xuan raised her right hand slightly, and the next moment, dozens of footsteps sounded behind her.

Dozens of black-clothed house guards holding crossbows all stood solemnly behind Li Xuan, watching more than 20 small boats approaching rapidly in the distance.

Li Xuan lowered her left hand, and the next moment, dozens of black-clothed house guards fell backwards at the same time, and the next moment, the long and thick crossbow arrows were already pointing directly at the sky.

Without the slightest hesitation at all, almost instantly, these crossbow arrows had already "buzzed", falling forward like a rain of locusts.

"Bang bang bang!" Most of the crossbow bolts were nailed to the boats on the river.

In an instant, an unknown number of people were pierced through their bodies in an instant.

Only a small part of the crossbow arrows shot directly into Wujiang.

Just in a few breaths, there was another round, and with a "buzz", more crossbow arrows were shot on the river again like a rain of locusts, and the consequences of shooting this time were no worse than the previous one. Difference.

Seeing this scene, Wen Fuzhi's face suddenly turned cold.

Suddenly, a word popped up in Wen Fuzhi's mind: serial warship.

During the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao Cao used iron chains to lock all the warships, so that people walking on them were like flat ground.

In this way, Cao Cao's subordinates won the northern soldiers before they could display their combat power on the battlefield.

But in the end, the company was burned by Zhou Yu and suffered heavy losses.

Wen Fuzhi looked at the heavily drafted warship under Li Xuan.

Although Li Xuan's soldiers were not sailors, the heavier the draft of the warship, the less likely it would be shaken. Even the fierce soldiers from the north could easily fight on board.

Coupled with the fact that Li Xuan's ship is now in the upper hand, the fire attack method is useless at all.

His eyes turned cold, and he saw that the distance between himself and Li Xuan was less than 100 meters. The next moment, Wen Fuzhi had already swept up from the boat, headed towards where Li Xuan was, and rushed over quickly.

With his footsteps on the river, Wen Fuzhi leaped up again in a blink of an eye like a big bird.
