The boat borrowed the wind, and the speed was incredible.

The heralds aboard the Throne of Minghong kept waving the flags, ordering the giant warships to sink the suicide ships and not give them a chance to ram the larger ships.

After the first stage of the sea battle, the Imperial giant ship was surrounded by the wreckage of the rebel ships, and many rebels climbed onto the giant ship and frantically destroyed the ship's ballista while desperately slashing and slashing, interfering with the ballista bombardment of the second wave of high-speed sea ships.

Unfortunately, the mantis arm could not be used as a car, and the heavy ballistas on the Imperial battleships still fired a scythe of death.

Whoosh ......!

When the first few clippers were hit because they couldn't dodge, the hull was broken, the cabin was out of control, and some of the boats were even smashed by huge crossbow arrows and completely disintegrated.

However, the ships flying in the rear were obviously much more clever, and simply took advantage of the wreckage of the ships scattered everywhere on the sea to quickly approach the giant ships of the Empire.

Hua Duxiu silently watched this scene from a high altitude and sighed lightly: "Sad!"

"Huh?"

Hua Duxiu frowned, and suddenly became serious.

These high-speed sea ships, after finally approaching the Imperial warship, did not immediately ram, but continued to speed towards the rear close to them.

Aren't they going to ram giant battleships?

Could it be that it is to hit the three ships of the empire?

Carry out a decapitation operation?

Isn't this a fuss, you can't sink a giant battleship, and if you hit a ship, isn't that hitting a stone with an egg? Although the ship is not covered with iron sheets, the thickness of the wooden armor is beyond imagination, and there is no fear of hitting it at all.

"That's not right!"

Hua Duxiu also found that the rebel sea ships that had successfully passed through the heavy battleships had their bows slightly adjusted, and they actually avoided the three ships and rushed towards the troop carriers and baggage ships further behind!

He silently watched as the hundreds of small ships missed parallel to the ship he was on, crashing into the Imperial ships behind one after another, and the high-speed warships on both wings of the empire quickly chased after them, and the sky was full of flying arrows.

"Huh? There don't seem to be many crew members on these ships?

Even if it is a hard collision with the troop carrier, as long as it does not sink, other ships will naturally be able to calmly rescue the samurai after falling into the water, and there is land in front of it, what's the point of doing this?"

What's the point, the answer will be revealed right away.

Thundered......!

When every clipper hits a troop carrier or a baggage ship, it is too small to sink its opponent, but it will inevitably explode violently at the next moment of impact.

The small boat was naturally blown to pieces, and the imperial ships also blew out huge holes, the sea water poured in, the flames were surging, and for a time the entire sea surface was filled with black smoke, and the flames soared into the sky, and one after another imperial ships were buried in the sea.

The troop carriers were fine, at least before they were wrecked, and many of them had time to jump into the sea and not be burned alive by the fire, but the baggage boats were miserable.

The baggage ship was filled with military rations, armor, arrows and other materials, and immediately after the explosion, there was a raging fire, and even if the ship did not sink, the materials on the ship would be burned to the ground.

That's a big loss.

Realizing the true purpose of the rebels, the Empire's top brass immediately waved the flag and ordered all warships to stop the self-detonating clipper.

All kinds of ballistas and arrows covered the sky, shouting and killing one after another, but unfortunately the self-detonating boat was too fast by the wind, and there were no extra samurai on the ship except for a few sailors, and these hundreds of small ships destroyed hundreds of imperial troop carriers and baggage ships in a ratio of almost one to one.

Hua Duxiu was stunned.

What kind of operation is this?

How can it still explode?

Explode?!

For some reason, a figure poured out of Hua Duxiu's mind, and he remembered the man's favorite sentence when he was crazy: Art is destruction, and destruction is explosion!

This level of explosion has extremely demanding requirements for the formulation of gunpowder, whether it is the power, stability, or reliability of the fuze.

At least the empire has not yet mastered it, but the rebels have already mastered it? If we look at it from the perspective of development, this is undoubtedly a kind of scientific and technological progress.

Even if those ant-like sailors don't have much martial arts or internal strength, when they master the core destruction technology, they can still create great lethality.

The hundreds of Imperial ships that have been killed are proof of this.

How many imperial samurai were burned or drowned in this battle?

And how much of the grain and grass turned into ashes and sank to the bottom of the sea?

Hua Duxiu didn't count well, he couldn't think of it, but seeing that the sea was full of fire, and the smoke was billowing and almost obscured the sky, Hua Duxiu knew that the loss of the empire was definitely not small.

The upper echelons of the expeditionary force were extremely angry, and many of the enemy ships and rebels who rushed in the first wave instinctively took prisoners, but at this moment the huge ships and big ships turned one after another, and the crossbow arrows flew sideways, leaving no one alive.

A few big handsomes are not light.

The naval battle, which was originally planned to be fought for several days, was fought in just one day.

The losses of the rebels seem to be very large, but in fact, they have lost hundreds of seagoing ships in a combination of destruction and self-detonation.

If it is about losses, it is the brave warriors who desperately board the ship that are more valuable.

After this battle, not a single rebel ship could be seen on the sea, and the rebel sailors should have been completely annihilated. This kind of desperate bite is not only a unique show, but many generals of the expeditionary force also don't understand it, and they all feel that the sailor should not be used like this.

It's a pity.

The naval battle came to an end, and Hua Duxiu recognized it for a long time, and finally recognized the giant ship of the flagship of the Governor's Mansion of the Trapped Demon Valley from as many as thousands of sea ships, and then he was relieved.

As long as Qiqi and they are fine.

Hua Duxiu carefully climbed off the top of the mast and went back to his cabin to rest.

Heh, I'll just say, what kind of pre-war military discussion, is it useful?

Also the first stage, the second stage, the third stage, the idea is good, but it's a pity that the enemy doesn't follow your script.

The Imperial fleet was busy rescuing officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water, and in the depths of the seabed, where no one was paying attention, two swarthy figures sank almost motionless to the bottom of the water, like two stubborn rocks on the bottom of the sea.

They stood facing each other, looking at each other.

The two of them all held their breath and looked at each other coldly, neither of them took the initiative to signal anything, as if they wanted to test each other's endurance at the bottom of the sea.

Calculated that this place is nearly ten zhang deep from the sea, the light is a little dim, both of them are naked, without any protective gear, it is really terrible to be able to hold on for so long.

The older man suddenly pointed to his neck and picked his eyelids, and the younger one's face darkened and seemed a little angry, and he spat out a bunch of blisters.

As soon as his heart moved, the young man couldn't stand it at first, he reached out and took a leather bag from his back waist and handed it to the person in front of him, the corner of the man's mouth showed a smug smile, nodded, and also touched a leather bag from his back waist and handed it over.

Then the two shook hands and left.

The rescue and inventory continued all night, and the next morning, the Imperial fleet finally slowly approached the shore and began to land.

The landing went smoothly.

After the vanguard troops went ashore, they went forward for 20 miles to be on guard, and the follow-up troops set up a temporary base camp near the wharf, and the baggage, soldiers and horses went ashore one after another, and there were expeditionary soldiers everywhere for more than ten miles around the wharf, and a large or small light blue marching tent was set up, like a piece of small mushroom bags on the top of the earth.

As soon as Hua Duxiu lay down in his small tent, a hot little fat man rushed in and threw himself straight into Hua Duxiu's arms.

Nearly a month of torture at sea made Hua Duxiu exhausted, looking extremely haggard, and he didn't expect anyone to sneak attack at this time.

"I'll go, where did the wild boar come from?!"

"Brother-in-law, you are the wild boar, it's me!"

The man in his arms shouted in a sullen voice, then raised his head, and a fat face that smiled like a flower appeared in front of Hua Duxiu.

Hua Duxiu sighed and sighed: "Big brother, can't you knock on the door and come in lightly?"

Shen Lijia saw Hua Duxiu's appearance clearly, and said in surprise: "I'll go, why did you become like this?"

Hua Duxiu nodded: "Otherwise?"

"Seasick can't eat, at most lose a little weight, why are you still dark?"

Hua Duxiu said speechlessly: "I've been exposed to the sun too much, can't I?" have you settled down, why did you come to me so quickly." ”

"I don't want to, I haven't put down a lot of luggage yet, and it's not my sister...... Hey, obviously she missed you, worried about your seasickness, and was embarrassed to say that she didn't dare to come, so she asked me to call you. ”

Hua Duxiu's heart warmed, and said, "Where is Qiqi waiting for me? It's right to be careful, I'll go find her." ”

Shen Lijia looked Hua Duxiu up and down, touched his chin and said:

"With your dignity, can you still get up? or will I carry you?

Forget it, I think it's better for you to raise it for a few days first, you're black and ugly now, not as handsome as me, it's okay if my sister doesn't see you, what if you blow it up when you meet?"

Hua Duxiu flew up and kicked Shen Lijia's buttocks: "Blow your uncle!"

Shen Lijia laughed: "My uncle is your father!"

......

When Shen Lijia saw Ding Qiqi in a remote tent with Hua Duxiu on his back, Ding Qiqi was shocked.

"Jiajia, who is this? Where did you catch a monkey?"

Hua Duxiu, Shen Lijia: "......"

After being warm for a long time, nourished by Ding Qiqi's exquisite magic, Hua Duxiu has a lot of spirit, the two chatted secretly in the tent, and Shen Lijia was guarding outside, looking like he couldn't recover his foreign debts.

He looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw an old acquaintance again.

Bao Yibao!

Bao Yibao in the distance seemed to be calm, but he actually walked quickly, obviously having something important to do.

Shen Lijia rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was not mistaken, and quickly lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

Inside the tent, Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi sat side by side, Hua Duxiu held Ding Qiqi's little shoulder with one hand, and flaunted with the other, as if telling some interesting story, making Ding Qiqi giggle and laugh non-stop.

Shen Lijia raised his forehead and sighed: "In broad daylight, can you two not get so close and take into account the feelings of the people below, okay?"

Hua Duxiu glanced at him: "We haven't done anything unseemly, what do you feel?"

Shen Lijia said: "Okay, okay, count me too much." Brother-in-law, there's an old acquaintance outside, would you like to say hello to him?"

Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Old acquaintance? Could it be...... Little Iron Egg?"

Shen Lijia shook his head and said, "It's not Tie Nan, it's Bao Yibao! If you don't come out quickly, he'll go away." ”

Hua Duxiu hurriedly got up and said, "How can this kid be in the army?"

The three of them opened the curtain and looked out, and saw the back of Bao Yibao far away.

During the three months of retreat, Hua Duxiu fought with Bao Yibao for three days, and this back is really familiar.

Hua Duxiu touched Ding Qiqi's head and said to Shen Lijia: "Jiajia, you take Qiqi back first, you are General Hadan's guard, it's not good to leave the camp for too long." I'm going to see what the little leopard is up to.

Qiqi, if you really fight, you will hide in the army, and be obscene, you know?"

Ding Qiqi nodded vigorously: "I'm not stupid! I won't help the hateful little fat man fight!"

Hua Duxiu smiled bitterly, it seems that Qiqi has a very bad impression of the Fourth Highness.

Bidding farewell to the two of them, Hua Duxiu seemed to be slow and fast, and kept up with Bao Yibao from afar.

Bao Yibao, wearing the uniform of a naval division and a long knife hanging from his waist, deliberately bypassed the officers and soldiers who were in full swing in construction and walked towards the dense forests along the coast.

Hua Duxiu was puzzled, and chased after him while eating the dim sum just given by Ding Qiqi.
