Under the command of Zhao Chong's command, the ten Shenyu spaceships were constantly carrying out various military drills, or changing formations to form an offensive, or geese marching around and forming a combined encirclement, tossing and turning very lively. The sound of rumbling drums and horns on the battleship could be heard within a radius of dozens of miles, attracting hundreds of people to stand and watch along the river.

"General, that's the West River Channel." Zhao Chong pointed to a puddle of water in front of him.

Qin Mubai climbed to the command platform on the top of the ship and looked at it from a high position, only to see that this side of the water was misty and full of smoke and steam, and there were many swamps and small mounds with reeds, among which there were many trees and strange stones, but the river was narrow and tight, the entrance was only the same width as this divine fish spaceship, and the inside was full of forked harbor branches, and the extremely narrow place could only accommodate small flat-bottomed sand prevention boats to pass through.

Zhao Chong lowered the flag, and ten Divine Fish Flying Boats lined up in front of the West River Trough, like a river bank lying in front of this side of the river.

Seeing this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but sneer: "Zhao Chong, I really want to know how you, the Divine Fish Spaceship, can kill the water ghosts, why don't you give me a drill?" ”

Zhao Chong obviously heard the suspicion and dissatisfaction in Qin Mu's words, and seriously clenched his fists and saluted, saying: "The general is calm and don't be impatient, and the general will immediately conduct an actual combat drill." ”

"What are you waiting for, let's get started!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Chong waved the flag, and a rapid drum beat beat on the handsome boat. Hearing only the sound of a shout suddenly sounding from under the side of the ship, Qin Mubai stretched out his head to look down, only to see that in the abdominal cavity of the huge Divine Fish spaceship, the plate box was suddenly opened, and a pointed-headed shuttle boat more than one person wide and two or three zhang long rushed out from it. There are more than ten sergeants with swords and bows in each boat, and a few others are specially responsible for rowing and holding the penny.

There is a Lord who will watch the battle, and all the soldiers are also full of strength and strive forward. Each of the pike boats traveled extremely fast, and soon they were all in the harbor alley. A shout of slaughter was heard, and the ship's archers shot arrows into the reeds.

Qin Mubai Dingqing took a look, it turned out that some of the straw dolls with green cloth curtains had already been erected in the reeds, and the archery skills of the sergeants were okay, and many of the puppets were already full of arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the sergeants took out a large crossbow from the cabin of the shuttle boat, and the three or two sergeants pulled it together, aimed it at the water, and then dragged it hard, and actually pulled up many mud and sand cloth bags from the water to make dolls.

"Well-prepared, the drill was a bit interesting." Qin Mubai chuckled casually a few times, and gently patted the wooden railing of the command platform with his hand, deliberately showing a lot of disdain on his face.

Zhao Chong really couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "The general seems to be dissatisfied with the soldiers of the Biao Navy?" ”

"It's not about dissatisfaction. I just don't think these soldiers look like soldiers, but they are some of the children of the pear orchard. It's not okay to go into battle to kill the enemy, and it's okay to perform on stage. Qin Mubai sneered.

"What?!" Zhao Chong was suddenly a little annoyed, and he didn't dare to get angry at Qin Mubai, so he had to grit his teeth and swallow his anger, his throat kept sliding up and down, and anger was already rising in his eyes.

When the other generals heard Qin Mubai's words, they were also a little annoyed, and secretly scolded Qin Mubai in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone else was dissatisfied with Qin Mubai and became angry, Du Chengyuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient! I think what General Qin means is probably that there is still a need for the naval army of the left battalion to continue training, and there is still room for improvement! - General Qin, please be angry and humble, Zhao Chong has led the left battalion for many years, and he has been practicing hard. Although the water ghosts have not been cleared for a while, it should only be a matter of time. Zhao Chong and the sailors of the Zuo Battalion have no merit and hard work, so General Qin should not be too harsh. ”

After listening to this, Qin Mubai didn't rush to speak, but stepped on the stairs step by step with his hands cut behind his back, walked down on his feet, and walked directly in front of Du Chengyuan, looking at him with a majestic look on his face: "Du Chengyuan, did I let you speak?" ”

"Uh, this ...... There are many words of humility, please forgive the general! Du Chengyuan hurriedly took two steps back and bowed his hand to apologize, but he sneered in his heart: You are just so generous! I speak for my brothers and reprimand you, but it is worth it. As I came and went, everyone respected me more, but they became more disgusted with you.

Qin Mubai didn't understand his thoughts, he was just retreating to buy people's hearts. Now there is no need to worry about him, Qin Mubai said to everyone majestically: "All the generals have listened!" We are soldiers, and the duty of soldiers is to protect the family and the country, and to protect the people and the country. Datang's requirements for our army are merit, not hard work! If there is merit, then it is a qualified soldier; If you don't make a contribution, you are doing a lot of work, and you are wasting money and food in vain, which is no different from the people who are greedy for public goods! ”

Everyone's faces changed, and they lowered their heads one after another, Du Chengyuan couldn't help but shoot back: "General Qin, what you said is a bit too much, right?" The water ghosts in Xiangzhou have not stopped for decades, and they dare to love the officials, generals, colonels and sergeants in Xiangzhou in the past, all of whom are eating white food? ”

"Du Chengyuan, I know you're not convinced." Qin Mubai didn't rush to get angry, but sneered, "I didn't say either, you are all not doing your job in the corpse position. It's just that there are too many tricks in this left battalion navy, and the actual combat ability is too poor, and the general is really a little overwhelmed. Take a look, how much military money, food, manpower and material resources will be spent on these ten Divine Fish spaceships? If you use this money and food to the real place, not to mention the ghosts of the West River, even a divided city can be taken. ”

Zhao Chong quickly ran down from the command platform, hugged his fist, and said angrily: "Why does the general think that the combat effectiveness of the naval army under Biao is not good? ”

"Well, Ben will let the facts tell you!" Qin Mubai's eyebrows flickered, and his eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Where is Pang Fei!" ”

"The last general!" Pang Fei strode up and hugged his fists heavily.

"Order, hundreds of horsemen, unload the armor!"

"Yes!" Pang Fei didn't say a word, and the other thirty hundred cavalry soldiers instantly took off the beautiful Mingguang armor on their bodies, and all of them took off their shoes and socks, standing proudly in the cold wind of early spring, all of them were described as fierce and energetic.

"Now you are the water ghosts of the West River Channel, go into the water and go to compete with the White Wave Water Army!" Qin Mubai ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After answering the promise loudly in a neat voice, thirty-one people jumped down from the two or three feet high Shenyu spacecraft and fell straight into the water.

Everyone was shocked and ran to the side of the boat to see.

At such a high distance, even people who are familiar with water do not dare to jump down easily, and the impact force when falling into the water is enough to stun many people. Pang Fei and the other thirty-one people fell into the water like ospreys and disappeared without a trace, only to see a few splashes flashing, and everyone had already emerged a few feet away, and suddenly dived into the water again, without any trace.

Zhao Chong's eyes widened in shock, and he looked incredulous. Du Chengyuan and the others also had the same expression, extremely shocked.

In their minds, how many people in the north can know how to water? But these people in front of me are clearly like dragons in the waves, and the water is excellent! Not only that, but they were resolute, brave, swift and neat in carrying out their orders, which really opened the eyes of those present.

Elite soldiers are elite soldiers!

"Zhao Chong, now let your Bailang Sailor Army try to fight with the hundred horsemen under my command." Qin Mubai waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, the sword has no eyes and is easy to hurt people." You don't have to be afraid of hurting the hundred riders! The White Wave Water Army has the ability to take care of the house, and if you hurt one, I will reward you with consistent money! ”

Zhao Chong's words were blocked back alive, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he said in a deep voice: "Then the general will be rude and offended!" ”

With that, he rushed to the command platform, waved the flag and waved the flag - "The whole army fights, fight and kill!" ”

When the sailors on more than a dozen shuttle boats saw the flag, they were a little stunned, not knowing who to fight with, everyone looked at each other, and for some reason, many people were in a daze and raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the puppets, which made Zhao Chong so anxious that he stomped his feet on the command platform and scolded his mother bitterly.

In an instant, a large white wave suddenly rose in the harbor alley, and at the same time let out a miserable sound. Several shuttle boats flipped on their sides, and the sergeants on board all fell into the water without exception. A few red-striped figures suddenly appeared next to them, holding down the sergeants who had fallen into the water and drowning in the water, making screams and splashes!

"Kill! Kill! Resist! Shoot arrows and pick knives! Zhao Chong was so anxious that he chopped his feet and yelled and scolded on the command platform.

Several sergeants finally came to their senses and began to shoot at the water, hooked spear targets and hard crossbow spears, all at the same time, but there was not a single blood star foam coming out. After a moment's stunned, several shuttle boats capsized, and the boats overturned and fell into the water, screaming and splashing.

Zhao Chong's face turned a little pale, and he muttered, "Damn, it's more powerful than a water ghost...... I can't even touch the corner of half of my clothes! ”

Qin Mubai stood on the side of the boat with his hands on his back and stared ahead, with a hint of indifferent sneer on the corner of his mouth. Du Chengyuan and the others beside him were silent and didn't dare to say more than half a sentence, many people lowered their heads in shame, and some people were stunned by cold sweat on their foreheads.

The shuttle boat in the harbor alley has almost overturned, and after several hundred cavalry sergeants flattened the white wave sailor who fell into the water, they turned onto the shuttle boat upside down on the water, and slowly rowed towards the Shenyu spaceship with a penny to support the boat. The sailors who fell into the water kept splashing and screaming in the water, shouting loudly for spare their lives and asking for help. The hundred horsemen ignored it and proudly rowed back in the pike boat.

Seven or eight pike boats were rowed back, and everyone counted them unanimously, thirty-one hundred cavalry soldiers, one of them was not many, and none of them were hung with half of the silk on their bodies.

On the other hand, in the harbor alley, the remaining shuttle boats were salvaging and rescuing the fallen sailors, only to hear the sound of a rushing water, and all the sergeants were embarrassed to wail.

On the command platform, Zhao Chong lowered his head baldly like a defeated rooster, and the command flag in his hand inadvertently fell to the ground.

"Hundred Riders...... It is worthy of being the master of the dragon and tiger! Du Chengyuan took a deep breath, barely squeezed out a dry smile, and said to Qin Mubai: "General Qin, you are humble!" ”

The other generals also bowed their hands and said: "The humble position is also convinced, and the hundred horsemen are really mighty!" ”

Zhao Chong dragged a thousand pounds of steps and slowly walked down the command platform, walked in front of Qin Mubai, turned his face sideways without face, and said in a sneering voice: "The last general...... I'm really convinced! ”

Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "From now on, the talisman of the Zuoying Navy will be handed over to Captain Guo Yi Pang Fei, and he will be in charge of the drill. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think you have any objections, right? ”

"I have no objection!" The crowd had to answer in unison.

Qin Mubai glanced at Zhao Chong sideways, and said, "Zhao Chong, the captain of the left battalion, you continue to lead the Bailang Water Army, if you don't understand something, just ask Pang Fei." ”

"The last general listens to the order...... Zhao Chong hugged his fists and agreed, and sighed a little in his heart: Fortunately, I didn't quit my job...... Anyway, Lao Tzu is convinced! Hundred rides, it is indeed powerful! Don't be ashamed to lose to them!

Pang Fei and the others boarded the boat from the belly of the boat, came to Qin Mubai together, bowed their hands, and stood neatly on the side with their hands tied, without saying a word.

"Dressed, armoured!" Qin Mubai ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Pang Fei and the others responded loudly and neatly, quickly picked up the neatly stacked clothes and armor and put them on, and they were draped in an instant, and they stood neatly aside.

Du Chengyuan, Zhao Chong and others didn't dare to say anything more, and they were really shocked by the group of elite soldiers in front of them who were well-trained, skilled, and obedient to military orders.

"Bring it!" Qin Mubai stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Chong, Zhao Chong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put the Ling Qi in his hand.

Qin Mubai waved the order flag in his hand with a smile, walked to the command platform, and waved the flag left and right. The sound of horns sounded above the flagship, and all the sailors pulled the sails and turned the rudder together - the whole army has returned!

Zhao Chong looked at Qin Mubai on the command platform with straight eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and muttered, "He also understands the flag language...... So what else can I do? I'm not an idle eater? ”

Du Chengyuan's face was red and white, vaguely remorseful and afraid, and said in his heart: "I don't know, did he just remember a grudge against me...... Miserable! This time, there was such a big thorn! ”

……

Not long after, the fleet returned to the Eight Ghost Crossing, and Qin Mubai said to everyone: "Pang Fei, you and Zhao Chong led the naval army back to the camp, and the military affairs that should be handled will be dealt with first." Ben will be back in the city, there are still some things to do. Ladies and gentlemen, I will leave it for now, and I will return to Juntun another day. ”

"Yes—" Everyone agreed. Although Du Chengyuan and others slandered 'how can you, the captain of Zhechong, treat Juntun as a hotel, as if you can't come', no one dares to say more than half a sentence.

Qin Mubai summoned three or five hundred cavalry sergeants as his entourage, and still returned to the river bank in a flat-bottomed sand prevention boat, mounted a horse, and jumped onto the river embankment.

At this time, everyone laughed out loud.

"General, you are so majestic today! Du Chengyuan and Zhao Chong, those turtles, were stunned and didn't dare to let go anymore! ”

"Who told them to underestimate the generals and our hundred horsemen!"

"The most hateful thing is that Du Chengyuan, who doesn't seem to take the general and us seriously! I just went into the water, but I made a few ruthless blows, and I'm afraid that several sailors have suffered a lot of losses. ”

"That's fine, no one will dare to despise the general in the future, and no one will dare to provoke us again!"

……

Qin Mubai let these brothers speak freely and vented his excitement and excitement, but said in his heart: It seems that the original decision was really wise, and it is more necessary to bring a team of 100 horsemen to work. Speaking of which, I have to thank my little demon Ling'er...... After a few days of separation, I wonder how she is now?
