Thunder and lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down.

The heavens seemed to have been poked into a hole, the heavy rain poured down, and the sky and the earth were vast, and the faces of people could not be seen clearly after a few zhang of separation.

A group of soldiers, wearing hats, scurried through the warehouse area through the rainstorm to the town office.

In the rain, the patrol soldiers of Huating Town did not relax, and soon discovered this team of unknown origin.

"Stop! What for? ”

Five people are in a team, a soldier stopped in the middle of the road, the captain scolded loudly, the horizontal knife in his hand was half unsheathed, and the whistle was also in his mouth, just when the group of people in front of him said that they couldn't tell the way, they would blow the whistle to warn.

Gongsun Jie took a step forward and politely hugged his fists and said: "Under the command of the deputy governor, there is a letter sent to the town office, and I ask you to make it convenient." ”

The Wu Chang came closer, and when Gongsun Jie pushed the hat on his head upward, he saw his face clearly, and the vigilance in his heart relaxed. It is indeed Zhang Liang's subordinates, who I saw yesterday, and now that the chief manager and the generals and captains are not in the town, there is nothing to guard against. The reason why he insisted on patrolling despite the heavy rain was just a responsibility in his heart.

Besides, since it is Zhang Liang's subordinate, there is no need to worry.

No matter what you say, Zhang Liang is a court official, and he will never do anything lawless, right?

The captain nodded: "It turned out to be Captain Gongsun, who saw you yesterday." However, at the moment, the chief manager is not in the town, according to a certain opinion, Captain Gongsun should return first, and ask to see him after the chief manager returns, how about it? ”

Gongsun Jie was embarrassed: "It's not a secret, my family marshal has decided to return to Chang'an, but before leaving, there are still some words to explain to the chief manager." A certain also knew that the chief manager had gone to sea now, so he just sent the letter to the town office by hand, and asked a few brothers to make it convenient. ”

This request cannot be refused.

Zhang Liang is also the deputy head of the imperial court, and he was squeezed by his own chief manager and couldn't stay, so he sent a letter to express his indignation when he left, and maybe a few words of scolding his mother, which is also reasonable......

The captain put the horizontal knife into the sheath, put down the whistle in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Even so, the little one should go with Captain Gongsun." ”

It's okay to go to the town office, but you have to be under your own surveillance, otherwise who knows if these guys who hate the boss will play any tricks?

Gongsun Jie was very open-minded, and said with a smile: "It's so good, I went on a trip yesterday, but I didn't remember the way, so I bothered my brother to lead the way." ”

The chief said, "Yes, please come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the town office.

Gongsun Jie glanced back at Gu Zhu in the crowd, who understood, nodded slightly, walked a few steps quickly, and followed behind Captain Wu. Wu Duohai also led people to fill up the traces slightly faster, approaching the other four soldiers respectively.

The group walked slowly in the torrential rain, and their footsteps landed on the smooth concrete street, splashing a puddle of water.

A bolt of lightning appeared in the dark sky like cracked lines, illuminating the entire Huating Town, and then extinguished in an instant, and the sky and earth were dark again.

Rumbling thunder followed.

At the moment when the thunder exploded, Gu Candle pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, quickly stepped forward, his left hand reached out from behind to cover the mouth of the captain in front of him, and the horizontal knife in his right hand slammed into his back.

The Wu Chang was shocked and wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered and he wanted to struggle, but with the knife that had been pulled into his heart, his strength was discharged. A stream of blood shot out, and in an instant, it was diluted by the pouring rain, and the chief of the Wu fell to the ground.

The fate of the rest of the soldiers was similar, but they were assassinated by an attack from behind in an instant, and they didn't even make a sound.

There was a covered warehouse on the side of the road, and in the warehouse were piles of bulging sacks.

The bodies of five soldiers were dragged to the warehouse and covered with sacks. The torrential rain will not stop for a while, and even if the rain stops, it is impossible to start work immediately, and these corpses will not be found.

The blood on the street was quickly washed into the drainage ditch hidden on the side of the street by the heavy rain, and the blood stains on the street were also washed away, and there was no need to clean up the murder scene, all traces were washed away by the rain.

The group did not speak, just nodded to each other, and continued to walk in the direction of the town office in the heavy rain.

The town office is located and is the most spacious street in the whole Huating Town, with tall houses on both sides. This is not a warehouse, but a place for merchants to buy and keep for trading, and it will also be used as a shop to put some goods, and of course there will be people who will be stationed here.

Gu Candle looked at the terrain on both sides as he walked, and when he arrived at the gate of the town office, he found that there was not a single guard.

Gu Zhuxin said that God really helped me, and he bowed his hand to Gongsun Day, without saying a word, and led his subordinates to a shop opposite the door of the town office. There were only a few slight noises in the shop, and then it fell silent.

Gongsun Jie raised his eyes and glanced at the gray sky, and the torrential rain was like a note, hiding the sound of evil in the world.

He was a little flustered in his heart, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he knocked on the door of the town office.

The two men showed their heads behind the crack in the door and looked at Gongsun Festival suspiciously.

Gongsun Jie handed over Zhang Liang's letter that had been prepared to Menzi, said two words, and left with his subordinates.

The torrential rain was still raging, and the entire Huating Town seemed to be asleep......

*****

Above the sea, the tumbling crests of the waves are like a pot of boiling water, and the wind is mixed with the raindrops of beans pouring down, the wind is rushing, the torrential rain is pouring, and there is confusion as far as the eye can see.

Fang Jun frowned and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling a little depressed.

If the rain is too heavy, the earth-shaking thunder is equivalent to scrapping......

How is the time-lapse fuse of a grenade made?

Fang Jun scratched his eyebrows, he really couldn't remember.

Without a trigger fuse, a flowering bomb cannot be made; Without flowering shells, the power of artillery will be greatly reduced......

Fang Jun was annoyed by his physical knowledge that was less than half a bottle.

"Boss, you're all ready to land at any time."

Su Dingfang walked in from outside the cabin, his face grim.

Fang Jun hesitated: "The rain is too heavy, and it is useless if the earth-shaking thunder is drenched in the rain." Without the earth-shattering thunder, this operation would have been risky. Why don't you let them live for a few more days, let's think about it in the long run? ”

Su Dingfang was full of confidence: "No need!" Even if there is no earth-shattering thunder, our sailors are still first-class elites! The heavy rain has indeed caused great inconvenience to our movements, but it has both disadvantages and advantages, and their vigilance will certainly be greatly relaxed. We launched a surprise attack, those slaves and miscellaneous servants and raised private soldiers, but the local chickens and dogs! ”

What are you kidding, without the earth-shattering thunder, our sailors would not be able to fight?

This chief manager is obviously not confident in his Su Dingfang's ability, do you really think that the daily exercises are to tease the children?

Su Dingfang held his breath in his heart, wanting to show Fang Jun his ability to lead troops, so he naturally disagreed with Fang Jun's steady strategy. It is true that this operation does not have to be carried out now, and when the weather is clear, it will be clear to use the earth-shaking thunder to open the way, and the victory will naturally be in hand, and it will be foolproof.

However, when marching and fighting, there will always be accidents of one kind or another, and even if the god of war is alive, it is impossible to make a correct calculation. In the face of unfavorable circumstances, it can still win the battle, and this is the quality that a strong army should have.

Always relying on powerful firearms and equipment will make the army's quality of daring to fight tough battles and being able to fight tough battles deteriorate, and it is absolutely not the work of wise men.

Fang Jun didn't know much about military law, but he still trusted Su Dingfang, and when he saw Su Dingfang so insistent, he nodded and said: "That's okay, it's all up to you, this battle must be won in one battle, and you don't hesitate to pay any price!" ”

If the action is wrong and the target cannot be wiped out, the consequences will be very serious, and Fang Jun does not want to face that kind of anxious situation.

"No!"

Su Dingfang replied loudly, he naturally knew that there was a lot at stake.

With a military salute, Su Dingfang walked out of the cabin.

Fang Jun looked out the window again, and on the confused sea, countless warships rushed towards the shore with great momentum......
