Chapter 58: Offense and defense

Wei Xi let out a long sigh of relief when he walked out of the depressed hall.
First order his subordinates to go upstream to investigate whether the dam can be repaired. They were also ordered to find solid wooden boats and soldiers who are good at water, and prepare to cross the river.
While waiting, news came again.
Sikonglin still didn't find it. He had searched the entire palace and searched all the corners and corners.
After taking control of the entire palace, Wei Xi did not believe that there would be omissions in the search.
At this moment, he had to doubt one thing.
According to the previous information, Si Konglin did not attend the palace banquet in Linjiang Tower. It was just a fake news deliberately released by the imperial concubine. Try to reduce their attention to Linjiang Tower to delay it for a longer time.
It is not unimaginable that after the imperial concubine learned of the news of the palace change, he arranged for the master of Jinlinsi to secretly take Sikonglin out of the palace.
However, in the days before the palace change, they had already strictly monitored the entire palace. There are masters in all directions, condescending to watch, anyone, unless you become a bird, or know how to escape from the ground, otherwise it is impossible to escape their eyes.
The news that Wei Xi got, in the last few days, the only team leaving the palace was Li Jieyu's group.
"I'm afraid that he didn't attend the banquet on the surface, and secretly brought people into the Linjiang Tower." Sikongyan had the same speculation.
The two looked at each other and immediately reached an agreement. Linjiang Tower must be captured as soon as possible!
Upstairs in Linjiang is just a group of palace people, even if there are a few masters of Jin Linsi, it is impossible to be an opponent of the army. The difficulty lies in how to reach this isolated island.
You can't count on the pontoon for a while, so cross the river.
Dozens of sturdy boats lined up on the shore, carrying hundreds of soldiers who are good at watering.
In the turbulent waves, the boats were difficult to walk, and several boats tipped over within a short time. Soldiers fell into the water and were drawn into the distance. In this turbulent current, no matter how good the water was, their lives would be in danger.
However, some ships persisted, and Wei Xi stood on the shore, counting the number. Even if more than half of the ships capsized in the river, the remaining half would be enough to overturn the Linjiang Tower.
After all, they have enough soldiers and can send people and ships endlessly.
However, when the surviving boat walked halfway, the soldiers on board suddenly became agitated. Someone screamed: "There are spikes under the river."
Sure enough, barbeds were placed under the river, and there were some sharp blades that cut iron like mud. The splash of the waves was indistinguishable, and the boat approached and broke in immediately.
There was also a small boat that was rushed too quickly, and was directly divided by several sharp blades. The people on it were caught off guard and splashed with blood. The latter wanted to change directions, but it was a difficult task to turn around in such a huge wave, and immediately more boats overturned and fell into the water.
Not long after, dozens of boats that set off, either leaked or capsized, sank one after another in the screams of the soldiers.
completely annihilated!

On the top floor of Linjiang Tower, Yuan Luo was condescending, overlooking the farce.
After choosing Linjiang Tower as a short-term stronghold, she ordered people to lay barbs under the river and tie them to the bank with iron chains. The ship traveled nine deaths.
"You killed so many people!" Queen Wei stood behind. As soon as she showed her head, she saw countless soldiers sinking into the river, struggling, and her face turned pale with horror.
"I didn't kill it, you killed it." Yuan Luo turned her head and sneered at her.
"If it weren't for your good brother and the East Sea King, how could they fall into the water?"
Queen Wei was silent.

On the other side of the river, Sikongyan looked so dark that he almost broke his teeth.
Wei Xi looked at the soldiers struggling in the big waves and was speechless.
Fortunately, counselor Han Changwen came up and gave a plan.
"The prince shouldn't be anxious. This poisonous woman is laying spikes on the bottom of the water. The surface is blocking our army from approaching. If it is operated properly, it will be beneficial to our army."
Sikongyan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's your plan, Mr.?"
"As long as the soldiers are ordered to carry wooden planks, covered with iron sheets, cross the river halfway, and cover the spikes with wooden planks, then the road can be paved. Then a master who is good at light work stepped on the wooden planks to cross the river, wouldn't it be easy?"
Sikongyan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Mr. is really the King's Kong Ming!"
Immediately instructed his subordinates to follow the plan. The craftsman was summoned and rushed to make hard plates.
Two hours later, dozens of small boats carried materials and began the second wave of attacking buildings.
Queen Wei accompanied Yuan Luo to stand on the top floor of Linjiang Tower, watching dozens of small boats going back and forth, walking to the middle of the river, and starting to lay wooden boards with iron sheets.
auzw.com In the sun, the silver texture dazzlingly reflects the dazzling light.
Seeing that the road gets closer and closer, it is almost reaching the shore. Queen Wei couldn't help but speak, "Are you still not surrendering? You are now bound to surrender, and I can still intercede for you."
"Should I still carry a coffin in the back?" Yuan Luo turned her head and gave her a cool look. "It's okay to read the notebook, what self-confidence, do you think it is acting?"
Queen Wei was choked by her. Angrily did not speak. In her opinion, this road being paved is a dead end to Yuan Luo's defeat!
After watching for a while, Queen Wei couldn't help it: "Do you think you still have a chance to win? Don't think about it, the soldiers and horses led by Miao are still far away in Gongshan, and it is impossible to return immediately."
Yuan Luo was so annoyed that she stretched out her hand to grab her arm and dragged the person in front of her: "The mother's best to pray for this palace to survive this disaster, because if it fails, the palace will definitely die, but before that, the palace But I want you to bury me."
Queen Wei was taken aback, and murmured back, "Why bother?"
"Why? Does the mother think that this is playing a game? So many people have already died." Yuan Luo pressed harder, pushing Queen Wei back step by step, retreating to the edge of the railing, she revealed A weird smile, "More people will die in the future, maybe including you and me."
Behind the waist is the railing, and Queen Wei's face is pale. She found out that Yuan Luo was serious, and she really wanted to fight death, preferring to be broken rather than complete.
"You only have one life, you have to cherish yourself." She stammered.
Yuan Luo interrupted her: "You don't need to talk nonsense, of course I know that my life is precious. However, I don't want to kneel to survive, to serve the King of the East China Sea, or to serve you."
"I..." Queen Wei looked down. The road below has been paved. It is a bit too exaggerated to say that it is the road, but people who are good enough at light work stepped on these scattered wooden boards and jumped all the way to the isolated island. Even Queen Wei saw that in the dozen or so small boats that approached again, there were no planks, but people, all strong soldiers.
Yuan Luo also saw it. She clasped Queen Wei’s shoulders, pushed her onto the railing, and whispered in her ear like a devil: "The moment they set foot on Linjiang Tower, the empress will come from here with this palace. The moment I jumped down."
Empress Wei trembled. She was pressed from behind by Yuan Luo, half of her body leaned out of the railing, and she was about to cry: "I can plead with you. Or if you continue to keep the title of noble concubine, our sisters are worthy of..."
I watched the soldiers leaping up from the boat, stepping on the iron plates, like jumping frogs, approaching the Linjiang Tower. The cool breeze blew through the suspended body, and finally, she cried out.
I'm dying! I'm dying!
At the critical moment, a ball of light suddenly burst in front of his eyes.
Even in daylight, the light was too dazzling. It was a sudden fire on the surface of the river below.
The rising crimson flame bloomed on the water surface, instantly covering the entire area.
Accompanied by the flames came a harsh scream.
The soldiers who tried to step on the wooden plank to cross the river just walked halfway and fell into the of fire. Some tried to escape back, some struggled to jump off. However, when they fell into the water, they were greeted by dense spikes. After a while, the entire river surface was dyed red.
Blood and fire are intertwined to form an extremely cruel picture. The legendary Su Daji's cannon-branded pots, I'm afraid it looks like this.
Empress Wei trembled with fear, and it took a long time to recover.
"You poured kerosene on the surface of the river."
In addition to the fear, there was a kind of rejoicing that she had been left behind. It turned out that she had deliberately scared herself just now. She didn't think she really wanted to jump, she wouldn't die.
Yuan Luo let go of her from behind and sneered: "Pray carefully, the winner of this game is my house. Because my house wins, you still have a ray of life. If my house loses, even if Webster's authority is overwhelming, You can't see it either."
Queen Wei's body trembled, and the look in Yuan Luo's eyes had changed to look at the terrifying devil.

Across the river.
The second time the entire army was wiped out, not only Si Kongyan's face was wrong.
Wei Xi also felt a toothache.
Obviously, he was only going to a palace attic to rescue the hostages, so how could he have a stern battle on the battlefield.
It only took a few hours to occupy the palace, and it was as easy as trying to get something, and only a few dozen lives were paid. But in this small Linjiang Tower, it took a full day to say nothing, and it also consumed hundreds of elites.
He looked at Zhuo Ran's gorgeous attic standing in the middle of the water. With its magnificent appearance, he was a giant crocodile with an open mouth, waiting to devour human life? Just like the woman standing in the attic.
Although far apart, with his deep vision, he could still see that at the top of the attic, a beautiful figure was leaning on a railing and overlooking.
The bright red dress outlines a stunningly beautiful silhouette. The posture of the peerless beauty described by Sikongyan just now suddenly came to mind.
Wei Xi suddenly felt a little complicated.
Having experienced battlefields and even more brutal killings and bloodshed, Wei Xi has always admired his opponents, but never expected that at this time, she would have such a sense of admiration for a woman in the deep palace.
Although Sikongyan was able to cover up well, he could still see the greed and desire flashing in his eyes when he mentioned the imperial concubine.
If such a proud woman really fell to that point, it would be better to die.
Such a thought suddenly flashed through my mind,
He turned around and said, "Take my bow and arrow."
