Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1226 Chapter 1226: The Rage of the Scoundrel (Part 1) [Please vote]

The fisherman is a magical being.

"It is said that the older you get, the more you will fall in love with this project."

In the tall grass by the river, Shen Tang is holding a fishing rod in his left hand and yawning with his right hand. His legs are spread apart. All his gravity is resting on the back of the bamboo stool, and his posture is very close to that of Ge You lying down. The bright almond-shaped eyes in the past were now half-open with sleepiness, and the whole person was listless.

She turned to look at Cui Mi on the left.

Then he turned to look at Qi Cang on the right.

Shen Tang does like fishing, but that doesn't mean she can stay up three nights in a row squatting in the grass by the river and feeding mosquitoes. In addition to mosquitoes, which are relatively friendly creatures, there are also water snakes, toads and ticks hanging around the river. Existing medical technology cannot cure tick infection, and even a bite from a venomous snake is enough to sting you. As he spoke, he yawned again.

Qi Cang concentrated and stared at the dark water.

Not forgetting to be distracted, he dismissed her words: "It's nonsense!"

"There is a certain truth to it. Fishing is a one-night stand for fishermen. They go out until dark and don't go home until dawn. They enjoy it even if they can't catch fish. Apart from those who really love it, they are getting older and are increasingly unable to do what they want with their partners. , or older singles. If you don’t have anything to eat, what should you do at night? You can’t catch a fish by squatting here.”

She just missed calling out Qi Cang's name.

I don't know what's wrong with Qi Cang, but he has been leaning towards Shen Tang from time to time in the past few days, giving people a vague illusion that he is worried that eating **** will not keep up with the heat. Shen Tang remained calm and tried to show off his tactics. Unexpectedly, Qi Cang openly fished and went out fishing at night.

The equipment was quite complete, but unfortunately we didn’t catch any fish.

Every time he returned empty-handed, the old man would become angry and furious. He would slap dozens of unlucky fish away with a slap of his hand, pick and choose the largest ones, and return to the camp with the fish basket. It is very consistent with Shen Tang's stereotype of some fishing guys.

Qi Cang sneered, Shen Tang's sarcasm was not harmful at all: "I am an elderly widower, and you are an older single in your twenties who is still waiting to get married. I want to find someone to roll under the bed with at night, but I can't find anyone. Why don’t you come fishing at night?”

Shen Tang: "..."

She rolled her eyes so hard that she had to remind Qi Cang again: "It's been three days, have you caught it yet?"

Why do you have to ask her to go fishing together at night every time?

Are they familiar?

This old guy Qi Cang must be spying on him.

"I have an old friend. He likes to fish with straight bait the most, and he can catch a basket of fish every time. I can't believe that I made a nest and used good bait, but I can't catch any fish." Being competitive is the key to success. In the heart of a brave warrior, this is especially true for an old guy like Qi Cang, who insists on competing with others.

Shen Tang sighed: "Do you believe in the reincarnation of your old friend Jiang Taigong, or do you believe that I am the resurrection of Qin Shihuang? Fishing guys also have different levels. If your old friend can fish with bait, he either cheated or the fish was caught by him. Too stupid."

Qi Cang didn't care if Shen Tang forced Lai Lai.

If you want to watch it for fun, naturally you have to choose the best viewing position to enjoy it. He deliberately invited Shen Tang to fish for three consecutive days because he wanted to know how long the Zhongli County Sheriff could keep his composure. Compare to see who can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!

He took out his fist-sized bait and continued making nests.

Shen Tang first quietly watched him doing useless work, and then sarcastically poured cold water on it: "There is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not, so I will say it - the fish, shrimps and crabs in this river are probably not short of food and grass. The last wave of nature has The gift has not been digested yet.”

It had just been a few days since the warlords in the upper reaches added food to the enemy's water source in the middle reaches. The shrimps, soldiers and crabs in the river were still rich, and the relief food from the fishing immortals was not so attractive. Regarding her mental attack, Qi Cang reacted as always, refusing to listen or not!

Shen Tang and Qi Cang both have martial energy to protect their bodies, so naturally they are not afraid of anything. Although Cui Mi is not an ordinary person, his control is not as sophisticated as this. He also has a physique that attracts mosquitoes. He has suffered a lot these days. A grave sin. Nearing the latter half of the night, the intense sleepiness made his eyelids heavy, his consciousness dizzy, and his head bit by bit.

"Ah -" Cui Mi's head became heavier. The strong feeling of weightlessness made his sleepiness disappear for a moment. He rubbed his eyes and felt extremely sleepy. "Why is the fog on the river so heavy today?"

He remembered that not long after nightfall, there was still a bright moon shadow on the river, but now it was completely white, and it was completely invisible from a distance of three to four feet. Cui Mi looked up again at the sky covered by thick clouds and mist, and felt a slight chill between his brows.

Cui Mi raised his hand to touch.

The fingertips touched a little cold liquid.

"Is it going to rain?"

At first it was just a few sparse raindrops, but after a cup of tea it turned into a steady drizzle. Not only did the fog on the river not dissipate, it became thicker and thicker. The visibility was shortened from three to four feet to just over two feet, which was obviously abnormal.

Qi Cang is sitting with his big horse and golden sword, looking down at the world, as if what he is holding is not a fishing rod, but a sharp blade that can kill people. His eyes fell in the direction of the river, as if he could see the ripples on the river through the thick fog. He seemed to say casually: "With this weather, it's a pity not to do a night attack."

Shen Tang didn't respond.

Qi Cang was reluctant to give up: "Don't you think so, Governor Zhongli?"

Shen Tang finally gave some reaction: "General Qi seems to be hoping that the enemy troops will come over? If they come over at this time, wouldn't everyone know that the general is skipping work and derelict in his duties?"

Qi Cang smiled and said nothing.

His **** showed no intention of leaving Xiao Maza.

The place where they fished was just upstream on the other side of the bank from the Allied camp. The view here was wide, and they could have a clear view of the camp without much effort. At the same time, this place is also a place where Allied scouts focus on guarding against Kang's spies from crossing the border. If anything happens to the camp, I can rush back as soon as possible...

None of the above are the reasons why Qi Cang chose to fish here.

The real reason is that this water area is not very polluted.

There is no big psychological shadow when eating the fish.

Cui Mi said: "It's weird, why is there no movement at the camp?"

The thick fog obstructed vision but did not affect hearing. Cui Mi listened carefully and did not hear any unusual movement from the other side. The Allied troops are not just for a living, so they can't possibly lack such qualities, right?

Qi Cang said meaningfully: "It's the problem of this fog."

It does have something to do with the fog.

The fog in the Shentang area was extremely foggy and the visibility was very low. The fog in the Yingzhai area was slightly different. The concentration did not increase all at once but gradually. Right now is the time when the human body is most sleepy, when it is least easy to concentrate, and the perception of the outside world is slow.

The Allies sent people to disperse the fog as usual.

The dispersal work went very smoothly.

Another uneventful night.

Some civil servants even complained: "It's just a little bit of ordinary mist, and we have to mobilize all the troops to work on it."

At this season, it is easy to get foggy.

Others can sleep normally, but they have to strain their nerves and work every day. Even hard-core people can't stand this torment.

"Aren't you worried about enemy sneak attacks?"

His colleague's eyes were also green, but he was cautious and timid and would not speak out if he had any dissatisfaction, for fear of being taken advantage of. Obviously, the other person didn't think so, and even sneered: "Sneak attack? How can they conduct a sneak attack?"

He didn't even look at the terrain where the army was stationed.

Sneak attacks are almost impossible, as soon as one appears.

Indeed, the Dragon Slaying Bureau plus is stationed in a very precise location this time, with strong defenses in all directions. Coupled with the natural barriers, the enemy's sneak attacks are easily exposed. The two of them returned to the camp with their own thoughts, and realized that they would pass through an area with piles of rocks on the way.

Beyond this area is the outpost.

"Hey, why is the fog getting thick again?"

It's indeed thicker than before.

After not sleeping well for such a long time, the civil servant was so irritable that he lost control: "Day by day, it's really endless..."

Tighten the reins and prepare to turn back. Through the hazy mist, he saw the shadow of the boulder suddenly "melt", extending out a strange object and shooting towards the blind spot of his colleagues' sight. His heart pounded, and he immediately wanted to remind him, and at the same time he made a secret to use his spiritual spirit to protect himself.

What was waiting for him was a slight chill on his neck.

puff-

Blood sprayed from the gap.

Colleagues behind the mist also got off their horses.

The dozen or so soldiers who accompanied him also fell to the ground like green onions. They had no time to resist and fell to the ground one after another. The body was quickly covered up by the heavy fog, and at the same time, the murderous intention lurking in the stone was also covered up!

Allied outposts immediately reported strange fog.

The rain was so heavy that we needed to wear hats and raincoats.

Rapid raindrops hit the tent, and the movement woke up the leader of Qi State who had just fallen asleep. She listened carefully to the movement outside the tent, put on her shirt and walked out of the tent. Seeing the thick fog outside the tent, it was so thick that I couldn't even see my fingers. His face suddenly became serious: "Pass the order to the three armies, and be alert."

All Allied forces were alarmed.

result-

Qi Cang waited for half an hour on the other side but didn't see any excitement, so he mocked: "Soldiers are very fast, tsk tsk, I don't know what the enemy did. The movement was so loud and the movements were so slow. The allies were on guard now. Can they still succeed in their sneak attack?"

If you dare to make a sneak attack, you will have to pay the price.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Tang yawning again, which made him angry.

Qi Cang increased his voice: "Zhongli County Sheriff!"

Shen Tang said helplessly: "I'm not the roundworm in the stomachs of those people in Kangguo. How do I know what they want to do? Besides, this may not be a precursor to the enemy's night attack. It might just be an ordinary fog. , there are no enemies at all.”

Qi Cang seemed expressionless, but he kept laughing inside.

seems to be saying -

Pretend, keep pretending!

Shen Tang's response was still rolling his eyes.

Qi Cang finally put down his fishing rod and stood by the river with his hands folded, looking across the river: "The center of this fog is on the river surface...the Allied troops are not all just drunkards. They should have discovered this."

The enemy is very likely to attack by water.

Shen Tang pretended to be dumbfounded: "I didn't see any ships either."

Qi Cang said: "Who makes a sneak attack and fights with water by warships?"

If it were a world without civility and courage, warships would be an indispensable necessity for water warfare. Their status would be greater than that of land tanks, and the two armies could not confront each other in the water. But here, even warriors who don't know how to swim can hold their breath for a long time and move freely in the water. Their maneuverability is much higher than driving a warship.

The target of a warship is also large, and it is far less easy to hide than an individual.

"So, you suspect that the enemy is hiding in the water?"

Qi Cang nodded: "It's very possible."

The river water can not only hide the body shape and aura, but also isolate it from the detection of warriors and scribes. If Qi Cang was a general of Kang State and saw the information about the Allied garrison location, he would definitely attack by waterway and catch the opponent by surprise. Shen Tang had to remind him.

"It sounds reasonable, but - have you forgotten something? This water area is not very clean..." Don't forget, there were 20,000 to 30,000 people deliberately defecating and peeing in the river a few days ago. Even if the river was flowing, it would be quite uncomfortable.

Qi Cang: "...Is this important?"

"That's not important?"

Qi Cang: "..."

He had reason to suspect that the man in front of him was playing tricks on him.

Shen Tang ignored the anger that appeared on Qi Cang's face, avoided his eyes and whistled, focusing on whether he believed it or not. Cui Mi spoke at this time, interrupting Qi Cang's angry bar: "Northwestern Kang has almost never lost in land battles from its rise to the present, but it does not prove that they are also good at water battles. If you remember correctly, the most important river in the northwest continent is There are three, of which Miaojiang is the largest.”

"Miaojiang, that's it."

It cannot be compared with the southwest continent where the water system is developed.

It's not even as wide as the river in front of you.

Qi Cang's native place is in the southwest, so he is naturally familiar with water battles. Unlike Kang Guo's group, they have insufficient congenital conditions and it is really not easy to think of sneak attacks in the water. At most, they can use the sound of fog on the river to attack the east and west. The real main force will probably take the land route.

Qi Cang: "..."

Shen Tang: "..."

For a moment, Qi Cang smiled treacherously: "Oh, that is to say, if there is a sneak attack tonight, and the main force of the attack is not in the water, it will prove that Kang Guo's water battle is just a show-off?"

Shen Tang: "..."

She quietly dismissed Qi Cang's evil idea.

"Don't be too optimistic. If the river surface can be frozen, water battles can become land battles, and the disadvantage will naturally no longer exist."

There should be no one who is more familiar with the frozen Miao River than Qi Cang.

"It's hard to say for other people, but Shen Youli..." Freezing the river surface is also a tactic. Zheng Qiao, Huang Lie and others will not hesitate, but Shen Youli is different. Did she forget that when the Miaojiang River was frozen, ice and floods were caused, and the counties near the river suffered?

Qi Cang said: "She can't."

Shen Tang: "..."

A strange feeling flashed through my heart.

It's quite refreshing to hear your enemies praise you in front of your face.

As time passed, the experienced generals among the Allied Forces also made the same judgment as Qi Cang. They concluded that the sneak attack would most likely come from the water. While sending people into the water to investigate clearly, they mobilized troops to ambush on the river bank and prepare to show up. Just seconds.

The rain has intensified and the fog has become thicker.

Several attempts by the Allied scribes could only contain it temporarily.

The Allied troops on the shore were waiting anxiously, and the archers were lurking in secret and preparing for battle. The light underwater is dim, making it difficult for even the most adept at water-based soldiers to detect. Without warning, screams came from the direction of the river, followed closely by a series of explosions. The explosion stirred up water waves that were more than ten feet high. Dark lights shot out from the water waves, and the movement was so great that it covered the entire river.

"Humph, you're looking for death!"

Dense rockets penetrated the dense fog like meteors.

Puff puff —

The black figures pierced by arrows fell from the sky one by one.

The archers took turns firing eight or nine rounds. The dense energy suppressed the enemy and prevented them from getting ashore. The water-based corps went into the water to surround and outflank them. Dragnets were also built upstream and downstream to ensure that they could not escape. Finally, the screams gradually subsided.
