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

Chapter 325: Heroes Gathering
An unknown person declared war on the Twelve Linked Docks, and 3,000 bandits from Yumu Village were wiped out overnight.

This news spread throughout the world through the Tang Daily within just one day.

The incident caused a lot of uproar, but there was not much information in the newspapers about the true identity of this 'unknown person', because it was said that even the spies of the Yinyuan Society could not find out.

Regarding what happened in Yumu Village that night, the Yinyuan Society's spies found several people who claimed to be "witnesses", but the answers they received were different -

Some say it is a monster that can drive demonic beasts;

Some people said that it was the manifestation of the Buddha enshrined in Yumu Temple;

Some people say that he is a knight who is so skilled in martial arts that he can turn back the old age into a young man...

There are many rumors, but one thing is certain.

The man who declared war on the Twelve Linked Docks is not any of the famous masters in the martial arts world today, and he is definitely a ruthless character with extraordinary courage and strength!
Faced with this mysterious person's high-profile provocation, Gong Ao, the chief of the Twelve Links, quickly responded:

"I, Gong Ao, am no pushover either. Come at me if you have the guts!"

"Let's fight it out on the water!"

This response once again refreshed the impression of people in the martial arts world about Gong Ao's shamelessness.

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Gong Ao has mastered the Water Skills, which allows him to control water freely. As long as there is water, it is difficult to defeat him.

So now he actually said something like "fight to the death on the water", which can really be said to be extremely shameless.

For a time, all the martial artists expressed their deep contempt for Gong Ao.

Unexpectedly, Gong Ao was complacent about this, saying that those who scolded him were all big talkers who could only say harsh words in the daily newspapers. Apart from that, they had no other skills and would not be able to withstand even a single move from him if a real fight broke out.

His words were so arrogant that they immediately broke down the gangsters who had been arguing with him before.

The heroes were so enraged that they set out for the Twelve Linked Forts, preparing to form a team to conquer the remaining eleven water forts, and also to attack Baidi City and beat up the short and pockmarked Gong Ao.

In the blink of an eye, the three-day period has passed.

The heroes of the martial arts world gathered at the original location of Yumu Village and established a stronghold, intending to attack along the waterway, capture the village, and attack the city, with the goal of reaching Gong Ao.

Since the Twelve Linked Docks had done all sorts of evil things in the underworld and had long been notorious, there were quite a few people involved in this operation, about seven or eight hundred in total.

The leaders among them include Ye Wei, the third owner of Cangjian Villa, Yan Xiu and Xiao Qi who were traveling outside Qixiufang, Yang Qingyue, the Taoist disciple of Changge Sect, Guo Yan, the leader of Beggar Gang, and Qi Jin, the Purple Void Master of Chunyang Palace.

Outside the martial arts world, the imperial court also sent 5,000 Tiance Mansion troops to suppress bandits and pacify the people. The leader of the team was the strongest man in Tiance Mansion, 'Heavenly Spear' Yang Ning.

This incident was called "the siege of the Twelve Linked Docks by the six major sects" by the people in the underworld at that time.

In the bandit suppression base, several leading sect leaders gathered together to discuss the next tactics for the suppression of the water bandits.

Ye Wei from Cangjian Villa, holding a candle, spoke first.

"Now that things have come to this, we might as well give it a try and burn the world to ashes."

"Uh... Master Ye San, what are you doing with a candle in broad daylight? We are discussing tactics now, what if the map is burned?"

"…Sorry, I don't know why, I just took it."

Ye Wei put down the candle in his hand and walked to the map.

The map was naturally a map of the area around Qu Tang Gorge, which marked the locations of the twelve camps and Baidi City. It was exactly the same as the map that Lu Ping had obtained from Dongfang Yuxuan before.

It is obvious that they are mass-produced in the same factory.

The thirteen marked points on this map, representing the "Yumu Village", are now circled with cinnabar to represent their current location.

Looking at the map, the twelve water forts are arranged along the Yangtze River, distributed on both sides of the Yangtze River, while the headquarters, Baidi City, is in a relatively middle position.

If they attack Baidi City directly, once the pirates on the left and right come to support them, the heroes will be surrounded by the enemy and will be unable to escape.

To avoid this situation, you have to choose a direction and attack all the way.

But in this case, they would have to face enemies from five or six water forts before reaching Baidi City.

Even though the group of heroes is stronger than ordinary pirates and can fight one against five or even ten at a time, there is still a big gap in the number of people on both sides.

Moreover, if they fail to capture the city after a long siege, once the enemy receives the message and calls for support from other water strongholds, it will become even more difficult for them to capture the city.

"So, we must act quickly and push the front line forward as far as possible before they can react!"

"In that case, let me, the Beggars' Sect disciples, take the lead!"

Guo Yan said loudly: "I have disliked Gong Ao for a long time, and I will beat him into a dead end this time!"

Among the heroes gathered here, the Beggars' Sect disciples are the largest in number.

And because the headquarters of the Beggars' Sect is established in Dongting Lake, most of the disciples in the sect are good at water sports and are the best at water battles among this group of knights.

"The Beggars' Sect's martial arts are versatile and can only advance without retreating, so they are indeed most suitable for being the vanguard." "In that case, I will ask Master Ye San and Miss Qi to lead their disciples and serve as the center forward."

The person in charge of the arrangements was Yang Ning.

Of course, this is not only because he is a member of the court.

Yang Ning originally came from the underworld and was familiar with the martial arts of various sects. After joining the Tiance Mansion, he experienced dozens of wars, big and small. Several decades ago, he participated in the "Da Guangming Temple Incident" to conquer the Ming Cult.

When it comes to deploying troops and suppressing bandits and evil, he is the most experienced among them.

"clear."

"Leave it to us!"

Ye Wei nodded, and Xiao Qi also agreed generously.

"As for the rear of the battlefield, I'll leave it to the disciples of the Chunyang and Changge sects."

Cangjian and Qixiu were also established by the lake, and their disciples are also accustomed to water. Compared with the first three, the disciples of Chunyang and Changge are weaker in water ability.

"I have no opinion."

"can."

Therefore, after several people's discussion, the heroes of Jianghu formed a battle line layout of 'Beggars' Sect, Qixiu, Cangjian, Changge, and Chunyang'.

Among them, Qixiu and Changge disciples are both capable of fighting and healing. With their front and rear support, the casualty rate of the heroes in the martial arts world can be kept to a minimum.

As for the soldiers of Tian Ce Mansion, they do not take the water route, but instead cooperate in suppressing bandits along the coastline, so they are not taken into consideration.

"Now that the marching strategy has been arranged, the next step is to find a way to defeat the enemy."

"In my opinion, it's better to use fire attack..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Tiance soldier hurried into the tent and reported loudly: "General, there is new movement!"

Several people immediately stopped discussing and turned to look.

Yang Ning frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Uh...this..."

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Juxian Village is on fire."

Juxianzhai is also one of the water forts in the Twelve Linked Docks, but it is some distance away from Yumuzhai.

"It's burning?"

Everyone in the tent was stunned, then looked at each other and thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that the mysterious man has started to take action?"

"should be!"

So we have been discussing here for a long time, but others have already started working?

Yang Ning asked again: "How did it catch fire?"

The soldier replied, "According to what the knights saw, about a quarter of an hour ago, several powerful sword energies fell from the sky and slashed directly into the Juxian Village. Then the entire water village caught fire, and the fire could not be stopped."

"Afterwards, everyone saw the bandits in the water fort either taking boats, jumping into the river, or going into the mountains to escape in all directions. However, their numbers... were not large."

While listening to the report, everyone walked out of the tent and looked towards the distant horizon.

Dozens of miles away, I saw that there was indeed a mountaintop being engulfed by a sea of ​​fire. Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky, dyeing the blue sky and white sun above a black and red color.

Such a grand scene, although separated by dozens of miles, still attracted countless heroes to stop and watch, and talk about it.

"If you set fire to the mountain, you will be jailed for life..."

"That mysterious man is indeed a tough guy! I wonder who he is?"

"How many of the bandits in Juxian Village can survive?"

"General, when do we start the operation?"

Several sect leaders were speechless upon seeing this.

What did the soldier who delivered the message just now say?

Not many people escaped?
If you don’t escape from such a big fire, the only possibility is death!
"I remember the intelligence said that there were three to four thousand pirates in Juxian Village..."

How could a water fort with three or four thousand people be breached so easily?
Could it be that the mysterious man has other helpers?

But what kind of helpers and how much supplies would be needed to burn down such a good water fortress like this in such a short time?
