In the afternoon

"My lord! The man we sent to sabotage the propeller was swept in by the oars and killed! The sea is full of blood! ”

The people on Whale Island quickly came to report that their battle had failed!!

Wang Lanling showed a contemplative look, and he began to reflect on himself.

When these people said that they were going to plug the propellers, he actually thought that this method was so feasible!

"What about the losses?" Wang Lanling looked at this swarthy man, and the people on the beach were not very white.

Yu Ding quickly said: "Three people died, and five others seem to have surrendered." ”

When Wang Lanling heard this, he asked solemnly: "Those who surrendered, do you know Zhu Wenyang's plan?" ”

Yu Ding said cautiously: "It seems that I know, we mentioned it when we were chatting." ”

These people are simply products of a backward era!

Don't even know about this bit of secrecy?

Wang Lanling said with a heavy face: "I know, quickly let Zhu Wenyang come back." ”

Yu Ding looked at the sea in the distance and the stormy sky, swallowed and spitted at the mouth, "It seems that it is too late......

Wang Lanling really wanted to punch this person, but he couldn't be angry.

"There is no way anymore, now that the other party knows our plan, then we will definitely clean up the nearby sea and strictly prevent the people under the water from approaching."

"Herald! Let the sea and the sky send warships to attack! ”

Yu Ding's face was anxious, "My lord! It's going to rain this day, and the Lanzhou army has cannons and iron ships, we can't beat it, and we can't hit it! ”

Wang Lanling didn't have any room for negotiation, and said directly: "It is to attack in the wind and rain!" Don't talk nonsense, tell my words to Haikuotian, this is an order! Send the main force to fight it out! ”

You can't beat it anyway, so pull the enemy to the same disadvantageous level as yourself and accept the test of the storm together!

There are too many problems on Giant Whale Island, and Wang Lanling does not have much influence on Giant Whale Island, and there is no way to carry out drastic reforms in this place where the island surrendered.

Now Giant Whale Island is completely the territory of these people, even if they are nominally loyal to Wang Lanling, Wang Lanling is also a scruple of many parties.

There is no time to slowly educate and influence, at this time Wang Lanling just wants to see if these people are obedient.

If he didn't listen, then Wang Lanling would have prepared early, and he wouldn't have to continue to invest his already small resources on this island.

At least in the first five or six years, Wang Lanling will cover and support the development of Giant Whale Island.

The ships and technological equipment have not improved so quickly, and if the Giant Whale Island is disobedient during this period, then Wang Lanling will have nothing to lose.

Investment is risky, Wang Lanling wants to see the troops of Giant Whale Island and Hai Kuotian, is it worth his attention.

Wang Lanling's mood was as gloomy as the sea in the distance.

Tongzhou does not have a navy, so Wang Lanling knows very little about the navy, and he doesn't understand what the current steamships have become.

The navy in this era was mainly used for defense, and there was not much attention paid to the navy in various places, and it was still dominated by land arms.

The worst paid were the infantry, followed by the archers who were behind the times, and the highest paid in the army were artillerymen, followed by cavalry.

The navy in Lanzhou usually has little to do, at most it is to escort merchant ships for two laps.

In any case, in terms of firepower, defense, range, speed, and load, the ships of Lanzhou are all hanging on this side.

Wang Lanling felt that there was no chance of victory, and attached great importance to the army in Shanzhou.

The navy of Lanzhou also attaches double importance to Wang Lanling!!

"It's really going to rain! That Wang Lanling already knew! ”

At the bow of the command ship, Murong Nan was very uneasy to convey panic.

Not far from Murong Nan, there is a gray-haired veteran, he is the general of Dangkou this time, and he is connected to the platform.

Tantai Liancheng's face was also bad, it was a good thing to catch a few prisoners, but the things that the prisoners confessed were not good.

First, Wang Lanling had already defeated Shanzhou Mu's 200,000 army a month ago, and he had already come here at this time!

Second, Wang Lanling said that there would be a violent storm today, and sent people to attack them.

Third, Wang Lanling had no idea of fighting at all, and asked people to hide in the port and not come out, saying that they would leave without ammunition.

Wang Lanling's reputation is so mysterious that no one here can underestimate him.

Even the 200,000 troops of the famous generals of the empire were defeated in his hands, what are the thousands and hundreds of people enough for him?

Originally, the task this time was to harass ah, and besides, the coal on the ship was almost burned, and they had to wait until the logistics ship came to refuel.

But Wang Lanling wants to cut them back!

Another general, Lu Weibai, said: "My lord! Now there are thieves peeping under the water, the wind and clouds are gathering outside, the waves are surging, we need to dock as soon as possible to avoid the wind and waves! ”

The staff next to him quickly said, "Where to hide?" Now I'm afraid that there are spies watching us underwater, as long as we dock, within a moment, we will be surrounded by Wang Lanling's men! ”

The general in charge of logistics said: "There is not much coal left, although there are still some shells left, but it will not help in this rainy day, they will not send ships out to fight us at all." ”

Everyone felt like they were surrounded......

Murong Nan was anxious, and said sadly at this time: "Wang Lanling is really like a god with soldiers, it is rumored that this person can control the wind and fire, and he can also control the water, but I am afraid that this rainstorm will not be inseparable from him!" ”

It's normal for it to rain heavily on the beach in the summer!

It was already evening, and the sky was getting more and more cloudy.

piu~ Smack!

A thunderclap exploded in the sky, and the wind and waves on the entire sea surface became more ferocious!

The officers of the command headquarters were holding their breath and not saying a word at this time.

They have seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but this is the first time they have faced a strong enemy!

It's not a small fish or shrimp, it's an unprecedentedly powerful enemy!!

"Report! Fifteen warships were found in the direction of Whale Island! It's spreading around us! ”

The sailors from outside quickly ran in and told the generals about the enemy.

Tantai Liancheng looked solemnly at his generals, his face heavy and solemn.

"We have served the Holy God for generations, and now is the time to sacrifice our lives for the country!"

Tantai Liancheng is already mentally prepared to die in battle, in his life, even if he dies, he must be generous and not let his ancestors and descendants be ashamed!

Yu Ding quickly shouted, "My lord! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! We want to preserve our strength, now the thieves are heavy, and Shanzhou Mu retreats before us, we can't force it! ”

Lu Weibai said: "There is nowhere to escape!" At this time, there is a storm outside, there is a small peep inside, and there is an army on the shore waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net! ”

The hearts of the people were heavy.

The staff said to Haitian: "As the saying goes, if you put it to death, you will live, and now our logistics route is probably known by Wang Lanling, and it is impossible to run back or sit still, it is better for us to go east!" ”

Everyone looked at this staff, and even Liancheng was thinking about this bold plan.

Xiang Haitian said solemnly: "We are going east from the location of Giant Whale Island, with our ship speed, we can completely get rid of the pursuit of Giant Whale Island and reach Haizhou!" ”

The rest of the group pondered the plan, and soon Lou said, "We don't have enough fuel." ”

Xiang Haitian quickly said: "One boat is definitely not enough, but it adds up to enough!" ”

"No, there isn't that much time to carry coal for us right now. ”

Xiang Haitian explained: "That's why we have to break through Wang Lanling's blockade, as long as we leave Wang Lanling's encirclement southward with the wind, we will naturally have time to concentrate fuel." ”

Yu Ding said: "Then can't we just run back?" ”

Xiang Haitian said: "I'm afraid that Wang Lanling will set up an ambush in the place where we retreat, and the captives have said that he has sent someone to seize the ship." ”

Time was pressing, and after a quick exchange of opinions, everyone decided to attack and flee in the direction of the fleet on Whale Island!!

The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and after both sides went all out, the Lanzhou Navy sank two big ships and flew away!

Six of the nine ships of the navy ran away, two were unlucky enough to be sunk, and one was blocked by wooden ships before surrendering.

***

"Win! We won! ”

An hour later, the wind and rain receded, and the navy on the steamship cried with joy!

These people successfully defeated Wang Lanling's blockade, they won more with less, and after sinking six enemy ships, they successfully broke out of the storm encirclement!!

The Lanzhou Navy won the empire's first small victory against Wang Lanling!

They fought a beautiful battle and wrote a glorious page!
