Book 51 Chapter 12 – Seeking Survival on the Luo River (2/2)
Currently, the enenificant part of the eneth; if they let the eneht would definitely be the anniversary of their death
Ba Fenghan shouted loudly, “Where we came from, that will be where we return”
The two boys understood tacitly, they responded in chorus
Just before the enele the birds doing everything they could to traverse the nearly the seven zhang of e on bravely with no thought of personal safety to kill them, and threw themselves in the direction of the shore When they landed on the ground, the saber, the sword and the oar ether, qi power filled the atmosphere, before the persons arrived, it already burst toward the ene dead leaves, they charged straight through the gap in the middle of the eneround, the three men soared for the second ti the shore, and stepped at the edge of the shore
The wooden raft, which no one controlled and no one paid any attention, was floating with the current toward the six battleshi+ps arranged in a row on the surface of the river It bu back into the hter, Ba Fenghan said, “Heaven has not wanted us dead yet!”
Both feet exerted soe of the shore, and fleard the wooden raft in the middle of the river
By this ti away from the enemy’s battleshi+ps, it has not entered the trebuchet and the archers on the shi+p’s firing range yet
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not dare to slon, they followed closely behind Ba Fenghan, and pounced down onto the raft together
One after another the three ed into the water behind the raft, creating a burst of a ball of splash, propelling the raft straight toward the group of enemy’s battleshi+ps ahead, it seemed just like they already passed the barrier of the stone-throwing machines and the archers, only the six battleshi+ps ahead re, arrows and darts screamed, yet all were just one step too late The stone bo splash filling the air; it was thrilling to the extre shouted loudly
Sihan pulled the bohile with the other hand they drew the arroith fast beyond human comprehension technique, they shot arrows continuously, just like archery exhibition, ‘Swish!+ Swish!+’ continuously The target of their arroere the burning torches on the shi+ps
The several battleshi+ps were illu torches, mounted on some kind of bracket all around the shi+p Hit by the arrows, one after another the bracket broke, the torches fell onto the deck, kerosene spilled onto the deck and the cabin, coupled with the high wind and dry season, i soldiers on the shi+ps were thrown into extreht to put out the fire or to strike back first
Xu Ziling released a vortex of energy, the raft’s speed was increasing continuously, further in a serpentine-shaped trajectory, so that one after another the enemy’s stones and arrows and darts fell into eht foot picked the iron shi+eld, and then using unloading-force technique he blocked a stone bo stood in front of Xu Ziling to protect hi arrows and darts, so that Xu Ziling could focus his attention to steer the boat
Three of the enemy’s warshi+ps had their bow fallen into the ocean of fire, they completely lost their ability to strike back or to intercept On the shi+p in the middle, the fire even spread toward the mast and the sail, so that they started to crack and collapse, the raging fla distance passed by in just a few blinks of an eye, the wooden raft was h the gap between the two most-severely-burned battleshi+ps It was only this moment that the three discovered that the battleshi+ps were linked together using iron chains, three chains per link, so that the six battleshi+ps were connected together, and tied to the big trees on both banks of the river, so that the shi+ps could stay across the river without shi+fting, blocking the path of the wooden raft
Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhonginto the air, when they landed back, their four feet exerted thousand-catty force onto the aft of the raft The raft’s bow rose up high, its bottole, while Xu Ziling amassed the power in his entire body, and then he released the spiraling energy, the water splashed about a zhang and a half high into the air, like a horse leaping over a hurdle the raft flew high over the highest iron chain, and landed on the water behind the ene fro itself into the pitch-black section of the Luo River
The raft dove underwater, taking its three passengers into the water But in the blink of an eye, it floated back onto the surface to continue its voyage
The three cheered in unison; looking back, they saw that all six battleshi+ps were caught in the sea of fire
The wooden raft rounded a river bend and left the blaze far behind, now the darker the river, the safer they felt
Recalling the danger just now, the three quietly wiped their cold sweat
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “Li kid’s troop deployot through the barrier”
Ba Fenghan smiled and said, “If we could continue like this until we reach the Great River, to-on-a-scenic-tourraised his head to look at the sky, he spoke in shock, “We calculated a thousand ti, which is: those anted us dead are not only the Great Tang Ar that, Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan also looked up and searched the sky, ied
A black dot was hovering at high altitude of sixty- or seventy-zhang over the water of the Luo River; unexpectedly it was a falcon
S eyes did not failQiaoli’s flat-haired beast Ay! This is called his Niang’s before the first wave subsides, a neave rises The one hunting to kill us must be Li Yuanji Last time we played with this kid on the palm of our hand, his face lost its luster in front of Li Yuan, hence tonight he wanted to redee shook his head and said, “Looking at the grandeur of their deployeneral situation must be Li shi+min hi all-out, doing the best they can This section of the road will not be easy to pass”
Ba Fenghan spoke with a sneer, “Our tactic of abandoning the boat, boarding the boat, setting fire to the shi+ps on the river – ought to be beyond their expectation As long as we take turns to drive the boat, even if they knew our position, before they could catch up with us, ill already reach the Yellow River What is there to worry about? Hey!”
Before he even finished speaking, a very unpleasant-to-the-ears noise ca-to-the-core sharp and unusual noise like the raft suffered wear and tear and was falling apart It appeared that the raft has hit souard, the three were stupefied Kou Zhong cried out in alaro!”
The three leaped off the raft; by the ti surface of the river was full of sharp wooden stakes, the raft fell apart Their quivers and their shi+elds followed the loose logs and broken ropes sinking into the bottoone just like that
They landed on the left bank and looked to the west The City of Luoyang becaht about the size of a palalloping fast over along both sides of the Luo River, only less than a li away frohan pointed to a dense forest on an undulating hills and e about five li in the northeast direction, he said, “That will be our refuge”
Finished speaking, he took the lead to fly over there The two boys promptly followed behind him
