On the surface of the Huaidong Sea, the wind rushed to the shore with waves of waves, and the sea roared as if it was boiling, forming a series of undulating mountains and valleys, dyeing all the open sea called "Yellow Water Ocean" black. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

An island and reef a few miles away from the coast has become the only calm place in the storm, if it weren't for finding such a place to stay, Ye Mengding wouldn't dare to resemble it at all, and the only battle in his life would have become a joke.

Fortunately, his subordinates have a good order, and he doesn't need to worry about what to do, in order to find out the sea conditions in this area, they spent almost half a month, the law of tides, climate change, etc., and at the same time, it also gave the new sea ships a rare run-in period, for the upcoming war, all this is very necessary, therefore, although he is anxious, he has never urged.

It's just that in the last few days, a storm suddenly blew on the sea, and not only did they trap them here, but it became difficult to replenish them, because the most difficult thing at sea was not to get food, but to get fresh water, fresh water to drink, which was indispensable for a day.

"Less insurance." Ye Mengding, who was sitting in the cabin on the top floor of the tail, lowered his head slightly, and saw his old servant climbing up with a wooden ladder, holding a leather bag in his hand.

"This is ......" He knew what was inside, but he didn't know where it came from.

"The little one remembers that he chanted a poem when he was young, what is it called'Long Drought and Ganlin', which is a certain Lin given to us by God." The old servant pulled out the cork and handed it over, his own lips also cracked, but he did not ask for a sip.

So it was no wonder that he had been watching the sergeants outside running around on the deck, and at first he thought that he was afraid that there would be some damage to the hull to be repaired, but now he understood that they were catching water and bathing.

Ye Mengding, who has always paid attention to maintenance, is extremely envious of those young people who have taken off their stripes and frolicked in the wind and rain, but envy is envy, he knows for himself, this kind of weather, not only is it windy and wavery, but also extremely cold, he may even be blown down when he walks out of the cabin, if he really takes off his clothes, he is afraid that he will never be able to stand up again.

"Ugh." He didn't refuse the kindness of the old servant, no matter how he shared the weal and woe, how could his subordinates let him really eat and live like the sergeants, even if he couldn't talk about it finely, at least it would be cooked and cooked thoroughly, people get old and old stomach, and it is useless to be strong, just like the skin in his hand, as soon as he took it, he knew that the water in it had been boiled.

Smelling the peculiar smell that couldn't be burned no matter how much it burned, Ye Mengding only frowned slightly, and drank it in one gulp, before the war started, he would not let himself fall, otherwise it would be better to listen to Li Tingzhi's words, wouldn't it be better to hide in Yangzhou City.

"I've got enough, you drink it all." Without saying a word, he stuffed the skin back again, and watched the old Chen Touhu take two sips suspiciously, and then refused to touch it again, knowing that he could not be persuaded to do so.

"Not all the rain that falls from the sky is like rain." Ye Mengding turned his head and looked out from the open hatch, under the gray light, the big ships anchored like them were undulating in the waves, if there was no island and reef blocking, even the big ship could not resist the destruction of the storm, but when it would be sunny on this day, people had no idea.

"Shao Bao Mo is worried, of course we can't move, isn't it the same with the Tartars, the little ones heard that there is no big port in this area, in addition to hiding ashore, they are afraid that they will be even more sad than us, and wait until ......" Old Chen's nagging words made Ye Mengding's aura flash.

"Wait, what did you say?" Old Chen was stunned.

"The Tartars can't move too?"

Yes, that's it, Ye Mengding stood up proudly, stood up and planned to go out, so that Lao Chen Tou hurriedly pulled him down, it turned out that he was going to find Hai Si Dutong, who was in charge of the command of the war, so he persuaded him to sit down, and climbed down from the wooden ladder in the room to find someone for him.

The sea is different from the rivers, it is greatly affected by the weather, there is no wind without fighting, the wind is strong without fighting, like such a big storm, there is no possibility of sailing at all, let alone fighting, and when he came up to his cabin, and heard his thoughts, he was so shocked that he could not say anything.

“...... Let me ask you, the Yuan people's naval army is reported to have no less than 3,000 ships, and our army is less than half of theirs, even if it is one enemy and two, no matter how good it is, it is a tragic victory, and now that both sides have encountered a storm, they can only gather in the harbor, unable to move, if we take the opportunity to fight, will it be a miracle? ”

"The words are good, but Shaobao, such weather, I am only afraid of damage at sea, more than those killed in battle, a big loss, the army's morale will be unstable, and I am afraid that before the battle, the soldiers will already be cowardly." Du Tong took the words for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it clearly, and saw that the other party's face sank.

"Have you been connected to the spies on land?"

Ye Mengding did not use his official body to press the other party, although he felt that this was a chance to win, but how to fight still depends on these experts, seeing the other party's hesitation, the first thing he thought of was to find evidence, and subconsciously thought of those spies who had been closely monitoring the Tartar fleet on land.

"It was cut off the day before yesterday, and I couldn't connect it, according to the person in charge of the operation, it was due to the weather, and it would be better when the storm was smaller."

That is no way, Ye Mengding was a little depressed, his face was naturally not much better, they all looked at him with some apprehension, and were about to say something to comfort him, when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the lower floor, and then a sergeant came out of the staircase, and what he was holding in his hand was the kind of square box used for communication in the fleet.

"Yes, with the brethren on the land." Ye Mengding turned around and looked at him intently.

"What do you say on land?" I don't know why, but Du Tong's expression is also a little nervous.

"The Tartar fleet is still gathering in the vicinity of Yukou Town, and there is no sign of going to sea." Neither of them spoke, and in such weather, it was strange to be able to go to sea, but it was just a bunch of nonsense.

"But there's one more thing they've observed."

"What is it?" Ye Mengding asked out loud.

"The weather is very cold, and there are signs of freezing in Huaishui."

Hearing this, Ye Mengding began to be a little puzzled, and after looking at each other with the same capital, the faces of the two people changed suddenly.
