Chapter 129: Water War (2)
It was late at night, and the clouds in the sky seemed to anticipate what was about to happen, and they rushed from the edge of the sky, thinking of joining in the fun, and hugging each other to cover the bright moon tightly.
On the river, the mist is filled, and the ships that usually come and go frequently can only meet one at this moment, but on this not short section of the waterway, there are only two fleets in front and back that are more than ten miles apart.
The number of ships in front was a little larger, and there were more than a dozen ships, and the size of the ships was the same as the ones behind, but the ships behind were faintly shining with cold light in the dark night, and they looked like a few beasts that chose to devour people.
At this moment, in the heart of this beast, a pre-war meeting is being held nervously......
"What, Commander, you're not wrong, are you? The gang in front of you is just a bunch of hairy kids?"
Kong Ke's flagship, in the cabin of the middle floor, a tall and sturdy man shouted excitedly with a loud voice.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai frowned, then squinted and squinted at the big man, and his sharp eyes made the big man can't help lowering his voice.
"How many times have I told you! You're no longer fighting on land!" said the middle-aged man surnamed He in a slightly impatient tone.
Looking at the big man's head gradually lowered, the middle-aged man surnamed He sighed slightly, and then said: "Water warfare depends more on the favorable time and place than land warfare, and it is not people who are in the back! The boat is your hands and feet! On the water, if you want to do something, you can't do without the boat under your feet!"
"Han Tao, tell me about the information you have!" the middle-aged man surnamed He turned his head to a handsome young man on his right after reprimanding the big man for a few words.
The young man was about twenty years old, eight feet long, dressed in a military uniform, and his helmet showed an angular face.
After the young man received the order, he stood up and said loudly: "Commander Hui, according to the information sent by the military advisor, it can be determined that our enemy this time is a group of young people with a number of about twenty and hundreds of ordinary sailors, and the leader is a fifty-year-old man named Liu Jin, but according to the military advisor, this person should be just a subordinate, and the one who can really call the shots is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy!"
After listening to Han Tao's words, more than a dozen men in armor present did not say anything because of the experience of a strong man, but the corners of their mouths inevitably rose.
"The first two battles should also be presided over by this young man!" Han Tao also seemed to feel the contempt of everyone, so he said loudly.
It's just that his hard work doesn't seem to have much effect, Han Tao glanced helplessly at the middle-aged man surnamed He, and then continued: "The wind direction shouldn't change much tonight, we have an advantage in this, but if the other party doesn't run away and fight against the war, then the water will be occupied by them! We only have five ships, and the opposite side is three times ours, although our ships are covered with iron armor, but it is also a lot less flexible, plus we have nearly 100 soldiers in armor on each ship, and the draft is far deeper than the other party, so we suffer in speed!"
After Han Tao finished speaking, he sat down again, and the middle-aged man surnamed He waited for everyone to ponder for a moment before he said loudly: "The situation Han Tao has just finished speaking, now I will talk about tonight's plan!"
"In view of the disadvantage of our ship in speed, we must fight a quick battle tonight! We have the advantage in numbers, as long as we can quickly break up the opponent's formation, divide it, and then successfully jump on the enemy ship, a group of sailors should not worry!" The middle-aged man surnamed He continued.
"He Yun, what should we do with those young people?" Kong Ke, who was sitting in the corner at this time, suddenly asked out loud.
"I understand what you mean, those little guys, don't look at their young age, their combat effectiveness is not much worse than the elite of the forbidden army, I don't think it's much worse!" He Yun smiled and said to Kong Ke.
"Oh?" Kong Ke showed a trace of doubt on his face, although he attached importance to the young people opposite, but it was only because of the actions of the teenagers he saw with his own eyes in Wuyue Town during the day today, and the intuition cultivated by long-term experience in the rivers and lakes told him that these teenagers were not simple, but he really didn't expect He Yun to give such a high evaluation to the teenagers.
"Hehe, I don't dare to say anything else, but I can't hide this trick from my master on the water!" He Yun smiled proudly at Kong Ke.
Looking at Kong Ke's somewhat impatient expression, He Yunsui explained again: "Just now, two groups of people boarded the ship in front of them, and the interval was very short, and there was almost no sound for the first time. Although I haven't seen this group of people really fight on the water, but to be able to destroy the enemy on the ship so quietly and cleanly, it is enough to see that this group of people has a good attainment in the use of ships, and water warfare is about mastering ships, if they really fight, I'm afraid it will be really a hard bone!"
"However, let's not worry, although they are good, but unfortunately the number is too small, such an idiotic practice of dividing a dozen people into various boats, I think the person in charge on the other side is not stupid to such a point, coupled with the speed of the end of the two battles just now, I conclude that this group of young people must all be concentrated on the last ship in front of me!"
"In that case, we just need to focus on this one ship!" He Yun finally said.
Kong Ke nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything, the matter of the water war He Yun, the white fat man, is much stronger than him!
Seeing that Kong Ke had no doubts, He Yun turned to the dozen or so men present and ordered: "I understand what I said just now! We must sneak attack tonight! I will personally deal with this last ship, and as for the rest, you four ships will be divided!"
"Finally, I repeat it again! We must fight quickly tonight! We must not let go of a ship! We must not let go of a single living mouth! Do you understand?" He Yun's last sentence showed naked killing intent!
"Understood!" replied in unison.
After everyone left, the cabin quickly quieted down, Kong Ke looked at the black-faced young man, and the black-faced young man turned around and walked out after understanding, leaving only Kong Ke and He Yun still in the creation cabin.
"What's the matter, it's been so long, and you haven't digested this water master yet?" Kong Ke asked He Yun in a loud voice.
Hearing this, He Yun raised his head, sighed and said, "Alas...... How can it be so simple! Originally, there were not many sailors left behind when the army was defeated, and it is not easy to leave these after hundreds of years! In addition, after the old master left ten years ago, he was robbed by the traitor for nearly half of the past, and now these are the seeds of the sailors!"
"These days, it's not as strict as before, as long as you have money, you can get a boat, but this soldier who operates a ship doesn't have a few years of actual combat where can he be pulled out to meet people! Those who are a little older, I can usually let them go, otherwise it is not easy to find a bowl of rice to eat in this prosperous year of maritime affairs with their skills!" He Yun smiled bitterly.
After Kong Ke heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, in fact, how could he not know? Over the years, the old master was gone, and the old brothers of the past had died and descended, don't look at the young master's still respected status in the sect, but the traitor was always plotting to snatch the little thing left by the old master, and the four hundred sailors who were hidden were what that person especially wanted to get!
If it weren't for the importance of this time, and the benefits would be very lucrative, as a military advisor, he would never have tampered with this strange army!
Kong and He were only in the cabin for a moment before returning to the deck with a focused expression.
At this moment, after He Yun, the commander-in-chief, gave the order, the five ironclad ships were busy.
Since it's a raid, speed comes first!
At the bottom of each ship was the power room, where dozens of strong men with big shoulders and round waists hung only a crotch cloth on their bodies, holding a huge oar in both hands, staring intently at a small red flag in the hand of the leader of the front row, while the leader was waiting for the order to accelerate from the deck.
On the deck, the sailors had already pulled up half of the huge sails, just waiting for the captains to give the order to advance, while the captains of the four ships were waiting for the order of He Yun, who was located on the flagship.
After He Yun saw that he was ready, he raised his fat hand and waved it heavily, and after a while, the five huge sails were completely raised, and the river wind blew and immediately whirred, and soon after that, dozens of huge oars stretched out from the bottom of the cabin, and the large slurry entered the water, and with the sound of the rushing water, the five ironclad ships flew straight into the front like sharp arrows......
And at this moment, Zhou Kang, who was left behind, had also led the ship to catch up with the fleet led by Liu Jin in front, and Liu Jin, who was at the forefront, was also greatly relieved to see Zhou Kangshun returning, after all, except for a dozen teenagers from Zhou Kang, their group of sailors did not have much combat power, and the road ahead was long, and the risks along the way were not easy to pass.
Zhou Kang still left the car at the back of the fleet, just after two battles, although the teenagers were not tired, it was still necessary to have a proper rest.
After Zhou Kang finished inspecting the ship, he also returned to the cabin, it was already late at night, although he still had to hurry, he still arranged for some sailors to go to rest, and the combination of work and rest could go further, which was also what the eldest brother Xu Chen often taught them.
Zhou Kang was about to take off the heavy armor on his body, when he saw the little dog quietly rushing in like a ghost with a pair of eyes that were still red.
"Little dog, you're going to scare people to death!" Zhou Kang, who usually looked a little wooden, really couldn't think of any scolding words, so he had to increase his tone a lot.
"Fourth brother...... "The little dog still murmured.
"Stinky boy, why don't you go to sleep at night?" After Zhou Kang came to his senses, he turned around again, and then reached out to untie the armor on his body.
This little dog is addicted to murder! This time, where do you ask him to find someone to kill him, but fortunately he avoids it!
"Fourth brother......" The little dog still looked dissatisfied, but only after a moment, the red eyes brightened again!
"Huh, someone, fourth brother, someone is coming!" the little dog suddenly said excitedly.
"Hurry, hurry, the other party is coming so fast!"
