Chapter 129: Ship Killer
Zhang Han's army effortlessly captured the county seat of Hainan County, and then moved into the county guard's mansion.
This sudden rebellion, which lasted more than a month, finally won the surrender of tens of thousands of Lingnan troops with very small casualties.
Although Zhao Tuo escaped, it also taught Li Yu a lesson, and let Li Yu see the power of Daqin's civil engineering.
Looking at the secret passage leading to the underground in front of him, Li Yu was really dumbfounded, so he said, "How long does it take to repair such a secret passage?" ”
Since Zhang Han entered the city, his awe of Li Yu has risen to a very high position.
After all, all of this is thanks to Li Yu, if it weren't for Li Yu's risk of sneaking into the city and burning down the granary, I'm afraid that the rebellion would take some time to put down.
Hearing Li Yu speak, Zhang Han subconsciously replied with some respect: "I'm afraid that it's been a while, why don't I go with the prince?" ”
Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "It's exactly what I want!"
Without saying a word, Li Yu took the torch from the guard's hand and walked towards the secret passage alone.
Zhang Han didn't dare to be careless, and then explained: "The army will rest first, and Cunxiao will explore where this secret passage leads with Ben General." ”
Even if Zhang Han didn't speak, Li Cunxiao was about to keep up with Li Yu's footsteps, so he simply replied yes and plunged into the dark passage.
But before Li Cunxiao could take ten steps, he heard Li Yu's voice coming from the depths of the dark passage, "The space inside is getting smaller and smaller, Cunxiao should not accompany him, if Ben Hou is not mistaken, this dark passage should lead to the direction of the sea." ”
Zhang Han, Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Yu with some surprise and asked, "Master Hou, how can you judge where this secret passage leads before you go through?" ”
Before the words fell, he saw Li Yu turn back again, and when he came out of the secret passage, Li Yu shook his head and smiled: "It's not difficult to guess, you smell the air in this secret passage carefully, can you ask about a peculiar smell?" ”
Seeing that Li Yu did not give an answer directly, everyone suddenly became interested, and they all walked to the secret entrance and raised their noses and sniffed.
"There's no difference......" Li Cunxiao touched the back of his head in confusion, with a confused look on his face.
The others also had the same expressions as Li Cunxiao after sniffing, and then looked at Li Yu.
Just as Li Yu was about to explain, Zhang Liang suddenly said, "There is a trace of fishy smell in the air...... So the prince guessed that this gate led to the sea? ”
Li Yu couldn't help but nodded, and praised: "It's worthy of the ovary, well-informed." ”
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "The prince has won the award, Liang has just lived in the East China Sea for a period of time, and he is familiar with this smell of sea." ”
Zhang Liang is really still the humble and beautiful man.
Li Yu looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "Since you fled towards the sea." Then Zhao Tuo and his party should have been preparing to escape by boat. ”
Li Yu's speculation was convincing, Zhang Han's expression moved, and he hurriedly said: "The thirty-mile range of Hainan County has been blocked by my order, and Zhao Tuo can only escape by water, and the prince's guess should be correct." ”
Li Yu was sure that Zhao Tuo was taking the waterway, and the 20,000 sailors led by his deputy general Fa Tong had not shown up so far, so it should be to meet Zhao Tuo on the coastline.
Thinking that Zhao Tuo had found a way out early, Li Yu couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: "The boiled duck can't let you fly."
Then he asked, "Where is our warship now?" ”
Zhang Han said: "Calculate the time, it should have been four meetings at this time, and it should be almost to Hainan." ”
Li Yu immediately smiled and said, "Let's go to Huihaikou to wait for Ziyun to arrive, and we should be able to catch up with Zhao Tuo." ”
Everyone knows that Zhao Tuo is the number one person named by the First Emperor Yingzheng, so they naturally refuse to let it go easily.
Then he rode with Li Yu to the intersection of Lishui and the South China Sea.
"It's coming!"
Li Cunxiao relied on his unusual size, and first saw the imperial sailor with the black dragon flag slowly coming.
Seeing this, Li Yu immediately became excited, and wanted to go to sea in the morning, but because of a sneak attack by the Vietnamese army, he died halfway.
Now that there is a chance to make up for the desire to go to sea for the first time, how can Li Yu endure it.
And these warships are also the best ships of Daqin at the moment, although they are not as good as the eight iron bumps in their hands, but there should be no problem in fighting in the near sea.
After a while, the ship docked, and Chen Qingzhi greeted him.
At the first sight of Li Yu, Chen Qing's heart became inexplicably excited, perhaps because of the relationship he hadn't seen for a long time.
I saw Chen Qingzhi bow his hand and say: "Chen Qingzhi visited the Hou Ye and saw the general." ”
And Li Yu naturally hadn't seen Chen Qingzhi for a long time, and when he was happy, he also said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Ziyun is becoming more and more majestic." ”
Hearing Li Yu's jokes, Chen Qingzhi's face turned red and he was at a loss.
But I heard Li Yu say: "It's Ziyun's luck to get the general's trust." ”
Zhang Han naturally heard that Li Yu was asking for credit for his subordinates, and there was even a hint of cunning in it.
Zhang Han's expression moved, and then he smiled: "Daqin just needs a general like General Chen, and this general will naturally not bury talents." ”
Seeing Zhang Han's serious secret praise, Li Yu grinned, and then diverted the topic and said: "Did Ziyun hear it, the generals all said that you are a talent, and the next thing is to depend on your ability." ”
Chen Qingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression turned pale, and he said, "I will not disgrace my life." ”
However, it is said that under Chen Qingyi's order, hundreds of ships of the whole army sailed into the South China Sea.
Zhao Tuo's side is also a hundred ships, but the overall quality of the ships is much weaker in terms of the size of the sails.
So much so that Zhao Tuo escaped from Hainan County and entered the South China Sea, watching the sea waves divide on both sides, and even began to plan how to make a comeback.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for hundreds of boats with white sails to suddenly rush out on the coastline, chasing them at high speed.
Zhao Tuo's face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted at the helmsman: "Hurry up!"
Before the words fell, Zhao Tuo felt that the pursuers behind him were closer, and a trace of viciousness flashed on his face, and said: "Go down today and drive the ship into the devil's sea." ”
Fa Tong was immediately stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Zhao Shuai, I can't help it, the devil's sea area is too dangerous, and if we are not careful, we are afraid that we will destroy the ship and kill people......"
But no matter how Fatong dissuaded him, Zhao Tuo seemed to be determined to lure the pursuers behind him into the Devil's Sea Sea together.
You must know that the Devil's Sea, commonly known as the Ship Killer, is the ultimate killer of many ships sailing into the sea.
When it is not clear which area has a reef, fishermen and farmers do not dare to go to sea.
And Fatong thinks that he has commanded the ship to go through this place a few times, but if Fatong wants to go to the devil's sea area again, he still has no confidence in his heart.
But seeing that Zhao Tuo was determined to do this, Fa Tong could only take the command flag and order the helmsman to be in place.
Zhang Han and the others didn't know that they had fallen into Zhao Tuo's trap.
Only Li Yu looked at the boundless sea in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Do you want Benhou to go to the sea to bathe? ”
