Chapter 219 set sail

Zhang Xinfang said: "From time to time, this man sneakily ran out of the house, and when he arrived at the place where the gunpowder was buried, we rushed over and searched for the fire fold and the fire starter from him. ”

Guo Wenying's face was slightly cold, "Go and find Dong Dafang." ”

After a while, Dong Dafang ran over in disheveled clothes and saw Guo Wenying hurriedly saluting, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Guo Wenying sneered: "The good person who is looking for outside the director, this person is going to blow up the shipyard, and the director doesn't know about it?"

Dong Dafang looked panicked, "Adult, the villain really doesn't know, what's going on?"

Guo Wenying didn't have time to explore whether his expression was pretending, so he asked someone to escort Dong Dafang and the craftsman down, and then asked Zhang Xinfang to search every corner of the shipyard again. The day after tomorrow is the day of sailing, as soon as the day dawns, they have to transport all the boats away, and there is no time to interrogate the arsonists for the time being, so they simply let them all be escorted to the Ningde Mansion and handed over to Jiang Mao for interrogation.

As soon as the people were escorted away, Dong Cun came, knelt on the ground and begged Guo Wenying to release his father.

Guo Wenying glanced at him and said: "If Dong Dafang is really wronged, this official will release him, this official has already sent someone to inform Jiang Mao, and the prefect Jiang will find out about this matter, and you, you are not allowed to leave the shipyard half a step before sailing." After speaking, he didn't wait for him to reply, and walked away quickly.

The day of the opening of the voyage is the turn of the day, the Yangshui River is very lively, because the prince of Duan and the Duke of Nanling have come to participate in the opening of the new ship, but it has added a lot of fame to the shipyard. Ocean Yard, a name that has never been heard before, is presented to the world for the first time.

At this time, no one could have imagined that this shipyard might become the largest shipyard in Nanqi in the future, and it made great contributions to the prosperity of the Nanqi seas. The shipbuilding it has only gone to sea for many countries, and the reputation of the Nanqi shipbuilding industry has spread far and wide, and it has rebuilt the prosperity of the previous dynasty.

Today, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and rows of 60 assault boats draped in red ribbons are neatly arranged on the riverbank. The high platform built by the Baiyu Spring Banquet has not been dismantled at this time, but it is free for Feng Jingting to use, he invited Nanling Gong to the high platform, and both of them had a warm smile on their faces. glanced at each other, and found that the smile on the other party's face was fake, and then the smile became more and more pretended.

Jiang Taiping sat down in his robe, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wang, test the ship today, but how to test the method?"

The test boat is nothing more than pushing the boat into the water, someone rowing and shouting the trumpet, and then cutting a ribbon, everyone applauds or something, and it is over.

Feng Jingting naturally understood the process, and when he heard him ask, he asked, "I don't know what Nanling Gong proposes?"

"I don't dare to propose, why don't we play a little game?"

Feng Jingting smiled on his lips, slandering him in his heart that he was going to be a moth again, but he said: "Nanling Gong is so interested." ”

Jiang Taiping pretended not to hear his sarcastic words, and only smiled: "Let's send 200 soldiers each, drive boats to fight on the water, and see which side can win?"

"Very good. "When people made a move, Feng Jingting didn't make a reason, and immediately ordered Xu Hai and Guo Wenying to prepare.

The navy has been training for a month, and there is no problem with whether it is strong or not, but this kind of newly-built assault boat is slightly different from ordinary assault boats, and the soldiers have not been rehearsed, it is difficult to achieve the unity of man and boat, and all the weapons on the boat are dismantled, and they cannot exert their power at all, and they will definitely lose when they fight against the well-trained Nanling Gong Naval Army.

Guo Wenying knew the result early, so she told Xu Hai to let the brothers wake up, and jump ship if they couldn't see it.

Xu Hai's face was slightly gloomy, the sailors he had worked hard to train naturally hoped to come up with some results, and when he saw Guo Wenying say this, he was very unhappy. His brother Xu Heng saw that his face was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled aside and whispered a few words of comfort, nothing more than saying that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't fight for a long time or something.

Xu Hai has listened to his brother for everything since he was a child, so he can only respond, and then selects the good soldiers of the water and tells him to hurry down and prepare.

After a drum sound, twenty assault boats were pushed into the water, and firecrackers were set off next to them, crackling to celebrate the boat's first test of the water.

Guo Wenying looked at the firecracker, suddenly moved in his mind, quietly found Xu Hai, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xu Hai blinked, "My lord, is this okay?"

Guo Wenying chuckled, "Why not? Nanling Gong can yin us, let's also yin them, but I still have to tell the brothers that it is important to save their lives." ”

Xu Hai secretly thought, because his brother always said that Master Guo is the most sincere, how can this be done by honest people? But when his boss spoke, he didn't dare not listen, so he hurriedly prepared.

Among Guo Wenying's personal guards, Hengsan is the best among the four personal guards, and his kung fu is also the most solid, Guo Wenying asked him to follow Xu Hai into the water, and asked people to call Deng Jiucheng and whispered a few words.

Deng Jiucheng also looked surprised, and snorted twice, "Wen Ying, you just get bad, it's really bad." He rubbed his hands excitedly as he spoke, "But I always like it." ”

Guo Wenying patted him on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which was a rare tacit understanding. They are going to give Nanling Gong a big gift today to avenge his revenge for bombing the shipyard yesterday.

There were many high-ranking officials sitting on the high platform, and when they heard that Prince Duan and Duke Nanling were going to fight, they all waited with wide eyes, some purely watching the excitement, and some wanted to take the opportunity to measure the strength of the two sides and grasp which boat to take. Everyone had their own thoughts, but they made a look of eager joy on their faces, waving flags and shouting for the two big men from time to time.

In a short time, the two armies on the water took up a posture, and the twenty newly-built assault boats of the New Southern Army and the Nanling Army of Nanling Gong were facing each other in the southeast and south.

The ships of the Nanling army were obviously larger, with two large ships and ten small boats guarding them, although they were two hundred sailors, they did not count the shipwrights and miscellaneous servants. However, the New Southern Army was solidly fortified with only 200 people.

The arrows and crossbow weapons on the Nanling military ship are also extremely advanced, so it can be seen that Jiang Taiping has made up his mind to let Feng Jingting plant a big heel today.

With the sound of the horn, the battle began.

In the river, the assault boat relied on its flexible hull to row quickly towards the big boat of the Nanling Army, and the soldiers on board fired arrows in unison.

The arrows flew in unison, and the New Southern Army had already prepared, a hundred soldiers held shields in their hands, and another hundred set fire to the big ship, and as the explosion sounded, the people on the high platform were a little surprised. Most people who had never seen the original Northwest Army's housekeeping weapon were amazed by its surprising explosive and destructive power, and its speed was faster than that of ordinary arrows.

After a few rounds of firecrackers, the assault boat in front of the ship had already rushed to the front of the big ship, and the ten escort boats in front of the big ship immediately came out to surround it, collided with each other, and fought each other on the boat.

At this time, the horn of the big ship sounded, and there was a "click" sound on the ship, but it was on the crossbow.
