Chapter 164: Sword Control
The aircraft has been out for more than three months, and everyone who should know knows about it.
So when everyone saw this thing flying in the sky, their first reaction was that Master Lu’s colorful auspicious clouds had arrived.
As for why the colorful auspicious clouds have only two colors?
It's just a habitual name. It's normal that the flying immortal objects are assumed to be the legendary five-colored auspicious clouds.
Looking at the green dot floating in the sky, the thin elder's hairs all stood up. It was a danger instinct unique to warriors, telling him that the thing up there was extremely dangerous.
"Go through the woods and head to the martial arts hall immediately to gather everyone." The thin man dragged his apprentice into the woods nearby at a very fast speed, and then said hurriedly: "Then send a whistle to tell Zhang Tang and the others to give up besieging the traitor Luo Tai and quickly return to defend the headmaster's hall."
The apprentice nodded vigorously.
The thin elder looked at the aircraft hovering in the air, frowned, and then ran towards the path next to him.
Soon he came to a low wooden house, then he rushed into the house, and when he came out, he had a longbow in his hand.
Walking to a secluded place, he tried to draw the bow and shot an arrow at the flying vehicle in the sky.
No...the error is a bit large.
In fact, this is very normal. The bow and arrow is not an easy weapon to use. The shooting accuracy will drop significantly beyond thirty meters. Beyond one hundred meters, the probability of hitting the target is extremely small.
Only those archers who are truly gifted can easily hit something a hundred meters away.
What's more, the aircraft is still moving.
Furthermore, even if he could hit the aircraft, it would not cause any effective damage.
Even an arrow with the bonus of internal force cannot destroy the special alloy shell of the aircraft.
After the arrow missed, the people on the aircraft seemed to have noticed the arrow attack and then flew away.
The thin elder was stunned for a moment: "Is Master Lu afraid of us? Could it be that the five-colored auspicious cloud is very easy to be damaged? Or is it that the person on it is not Master Lu, but his wife? This makes sense, women are always more timid."
Watching the aircraft fly away, the thin elder breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ran down the mountain to prepare to meet up with the others. Then, from afar, he saw that many dangerous places were guarded by his sect's disciples, and he felt relieved immediately.
"It seems that the two hall masters Zhang and Huang are more knowledgeable about war."
The thin elder's expression relaxed a lot, and he rushed down to meet up with his people.
The aircraft returned to the deck of the treasure ship, and both Yang Jinhua and Mu Guiying jumped off.
"What a great thing." Mu Guiying touched the outer shell of the aircraft: "If I had this thing for reconnaissance when I led the troops to fight, many soldiers would have been saved."
Aerial reconnaissance is always countless times more powerful than ground reconnaissance, with a wider field of view, more intuitive three-dimensional longitudinal observation, and the maneuverability and safety of flight, not to mention.
Yang Jinhua advised, "Don't blame yourself too much, mother. You did your best to get beaten like that."
Mu Guiying took command of the army for the first time and defeated the Western Xia Kingdom.
But in fact it was just a pyrrhic victory.
At that time, the Xixia army was attacking with great strength. The older generation of the Zhe family had almost all died in the battle, and the new generation had not yet fully grown up. In addition, Di Qing was guarding the southwest, and there was no general in the court who could lead troops.
It was in that situation that Mu Guiying took command on the spot, leading the widows in her family and the imperial guards to block the attack.
Almost all the imperial guards were killed, and after all the men in the Yang family died, only Mu Guiying was left among the women who participated in the war.
That battle almost wiped out the remaining population of the Yang family.
The only ones left at home were the old lady and the two young children Yang Jinhua and Yang Wenguang.
It can be said that Mu Guiying's taking command was the most glorious moment in her life, but also the most painful period of her life.
It took her a long time to get over the pain of almost losing all her loved ones.
So now she has been thinking, if there was a person named Lu Sen back then, if there was such a strange thing that could fly and scout the ground, would she still have to fight so hard?
My sisters-in-law and younger sisters should be able to survive.
Mu Guiying just sighed for a while, then smiled and said: "It's okay, I just muttered a few words. Just now, Jinhua and I went up and roughly checked the enemy's terrain and troop deployment."
Mu Guiying walked to the wooden table in the middle of the deck, on which was a topographic map.
She picked up the charcoal pencil next to her and drew circles on the topographic map one by one, saying, "They have set up ambushes in these places. They are in a dominant position, so there should be crossbowmen."
Then he drew a few curved lines on the map: "These are the paths leading up the mountain. Almost all the roads are guarded by them."
Lu Huiqing looked at it and sighed, "It's easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Although he is not very good at leading troops in battle, he can still understand basic topographic maps.
Lu Sen walked over and watched for a while, then said, "If we attack head-on, even with the help of the five friends from Xiankong Island, we will still suffer some casualties."
"Then we will outflank them." Mu Guiying pointed to the flying machine next to her and said with a smile, "We have two flying magic machines. Jinhua and I will form a team, and you and Bai Shaoxia will form a team. The four of us will cut into the enemy's rear, which will be enough to disrupt their defensive deployment."
Then she pointed to the map and talked about her ideas.
Everyone thought that what she said was a very reasonable tactic. Since she could fly, she should make use of this advantage.
"Then who will command the front line?" Yang Jinhua looked around and asked.
It was normal for her to have this doubt. Among all the people present, only three had certain experience in military combat command, and two of them had left.
Another person with command experience is the captain of the Ark, Pan Zhihai, but his identity is really not qualified enough. Lu Sen’s forty-five generals should obey orders, but it is hard to say about Lu Huiqing.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, civil officials always controlled military officials, and there was no such thing as military officials commanding civil officials.
Lu Huiqing narrowed her eyes and smiled without saying anything.
Many times, keeping silent is a form of expression, and everyone knows it.
Lu Sen smiled indifferently and said, "Pan Zhihai will take charge of my generals and attack from the left wing. Lu Fuyin will lead the detectives to attack from the right wing. As for the other four people on Xiankong Island, please protect my generals."
Lu Huiqing nodded with a calm expression.
The four mice clasped their fists to show that they were willing to follow orders.
"Then let's proceed according to the plan." Lu Sen walked to the front of the aircraft and said to Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai, please come with me."
"I'm happy to do it." Bai Yuting looked at the aircraft in front of him, a rare gleam of excitement in his eyes.
Yang Jinhua and Mu Guiying also returned to the other aircraft.
Pan Zhihai also began to order the sailors to lower the small boats used for docking... There was no other way, the large ship had a deep waterline and could not approach the shore casually.
Just when everyone on the boat was ready to set off, Mu Guiying, Bai Yutang, Yang Jinhua and other masters suddenly turned around and looked at the horizon.
Just when Lu Sen felt strange, he suddenly saw a light flying over there. Upon further inspection, he found it was a flying vehicle.
"Do you think it's Mei'er or Bilian?" Yang Jinhua asked with a smile.
"It must be Bilian. Only she would do such a thing." Lu Sen shook his head helplessly.
In fact, deep down, he was a little angry.
Because the ocean is different from the land, there are almost no reference points. If you don’t have enough experience or rely on instruments to help you check, it is easy to get lost.
There is a flight route storage and access device in the aircraft, but Bilian doesn’t know how to use it very well.
In other words, if it was Bilian, her behavior this time was actually very rash.
The aircraft quickly landed on the deck, and a person stepped out from it. It was indeed Bilian.
She walked up to Lu Sen with a lewd smile and said coquettishly, "Sir, I'm here to help you."
"Didn't I ask you to stay at home?"
"But I'm bored at home, and I want to help the official."
In fact, Zhao Bilian is very powerful... After the spiritual beast merged, she was more powerful than Yang Jinhua, but she was no match for Mu Guiying now.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "Okay, you follow my aircraft later."
Seeing that Lu Sen agreed, Zhao Bilian nodded repeatedly.
Lu Sen actually wanted to scold her. After all, it was really dangerous to cross the sea alone.
But there are so many outsiders here now, so it’s better to talk about family affairs and family rules after returning home.
Lu Sen made a gesture, indicating that the action should continue.
Three aircraft floated into the air... Bai Yuting sat next to Lu Sen. He leaned sideways with his forehead and hands pressed against the glass cover, then looked outside, his face full of surprise and joy, like a little kid who was on a plane for the first time.
Lu Sen didn't laugh at him because it was almost the same when he took a plane before.
Lu Sen drove the aircraft, found the first point he wanted to break through, and then hovered above.
At this time, Lu Sen had already flown very high, and looking down from the height, he could see the terrain.
But when the people below looked up, they couldn't see Lu Sen's aircraft.
Firstly, the aircraft was not very big, and secondly, the sun was high in the sky, and looking overhead there was only a blinding golden light, which was very dazzling.
Bai Yuting looked at the surrounding scenery greedily, and it took him a while to calm himself down.
He sighed and said to Lu Sen, "Bai has always believed that his martial arts skills are extraordinary. No matter how powerful the world is, it is better to reach the realm of lightness, jump five meters high, and walk like the wind. But now I am sitting high in the sky, and everything in the world is like dust under my feet. I realized the ugliness of my past arrogance."
When Lu Sen heard this, he looked at Bai Yutang strangely.
At this moment, Bai Yuting's expression showed some joy, but more sadness.
Lu Sen was puzzled and asked, "Brother Bai, why are you suddenly so sad?"
Bai Yutang smiled sadly: "The most miserable thing in the world is to have seen something and then lost it again."
Lu Sen understood.
It seems that Bai Yutang likes the feeling of looking down at the ground from a high altitude, and feels sad when he thinks that he will not be able to have such a "wonderful" experience in the future.
Come to think of it, this is actually human nature.
If Lu Sen still has a dozen meteorites from outer space, he might give him a flying vehicle. After all, Bai Yuting has a good relationship with him now.
But unfortunately... the amount of meteorite iron from outer space is too small.
In fact, over the past two years, the Prince of Runan has been helping Lu Sen secretly collect this thing, but he has only collected a few pieces.
Lu Sen could only comfort him, "Maybe Brother Bai will have another opportunity in the future, and then he will get what he wants!"
Bai Yutang put away the miserable smile he had just had, and his expression gradually returned to normal. He then said, "Master Lu, I lost my composure just now, please forgive me."
"Okay, okay." Lu Sen looked down and said, "The ground troops are already in place. Let's go down first."
Bai Yutang nodded and grasped his weapon tightly.
Lu Sen's aircraft flew down quickly, and Bilian followed closely behind.
Jianying Cliff... This is a rugged road leading to the main hall of the Penglai Sect Leader in the East China Sea. There are several flat areas above the road, where many archers are hidden.
There are also a lot of stones on the platform.
If an enemy passed by below, a volley of bows and crossbows, coupled with falling rocks, would be enough to defeat the enemy without any chance of fighting back.
This is also the reason why the Penglai Sect of the East China Sea has never been afraid of the encirclement and suppression by the imperial navy. The terrain here is too steep.
Master Zhang of Dangchao Hall was looking seriously at the cliff ahead, watching a group of men in black walking slowly towards them in orderly steps.
"Damn it, these people smell like the elite of the army." Zhang Tangzhu spat, his thin, sallow face full of hostility: "Men, don't rush to shoot, wait until these black bastards get below us, and then shoot when I say it's OK, understand?"
There were mixed responses.
Zhang Tangkou was very satisfied when he saw this. Just as he was waiting for the men in black to get closer , he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in the air.
It was a bit like a fly, but the sound quickly grew louder and soon became a bit harsh.
He was a little surprised, then he reacted and looked up, seeing two steel structures that looked like eggs falling from the sky.
"On the head, on the head, shoot it all over me!"
Zhang Tangzhu roared, and then he looked at the two flying machines, his head almost smoking with anger: "If you have the ability, just attack from below. What kind of ability is it to attack from the sky with flying objects? You have no martial ethics!"
After a period of training, these disciples of the Penglai Sect of the East China Sea have developed an instinctive obedience to orders.
They simultaneously drew their bows and shot arrows overhead, but the arrows hit the hull of the aircraft and were completely useless, as they were all bounced away.
The glass cover of the first egg-shaped aircraft opened, and a handsome man in black clothes fell from the sky and landed among the crowd. He moved like a dragon, and wherever he passed, flowers of blood bloomed.
Amid screams, the disciples of Penglai in the East China Sea fell one by one.
"Stop." Zhang, holding a big knife, was about to rush over to stop the man in black, but suddenly he heard a delicate shout in the air: "Thief, look at the sword."
He looked up suddenly and saw that the glass cover of the second egg-shaped aircraft had also opened, floating five or six feet above his head.
There was a young woman with a graceful figure standing there, and behind her, several swords were circling.
"What is that?" Hall Master Zhang was stunned.
It was at this time that he saw the young woman pointing at him, and several long swords turned into light and pierced through his body.
The speed was so fast that he had no time to react.
Then I felt weak all over, my body kept moving backwards and I couldn't stand up.
Finally, he fell on his back on the ground with a thud.
There were calls of fear coming from all around.
But he could no longer hear anything, only his eyes were still staring blankly up at the sky.
