In Dongji Harbor, there are many warships, masts are forested, and large and small warships are full of ports.

Su Ping led the army to look back at Jiang to rest and directly returned to Dongji Port.

Relying on the power of captives who did not need to be paid, Dongji Port, like Nanwan Port, was now built into a fortress port, and ballistae with a range of up to 2,000 steps filled the artillery arrays high in the port.

Relying on the ship's cannons, the Mali people tried to attack the port of Dongji twice, but in the face of the combined attack of the ballista and the birds, they both abandoned a few warships and fled in embarrassment.

Standing on the artillery array, Su Ping squinted into the distance, only to feel that his heart was full of joy.

At the beginning, he couldn't even hold the Dongji Port, and later relied on the command of the second brother to beat the Mali people who went ashore.

Not to mention that the battle was won, even the labor force for the construction of Nanwan Port and Dongji Port was brought out, and look at the group of two fools who were still digging in the mud at the port, they were all in full swing when they were working one by one.

This kind of labor is not easy to hire even if it is paid.

"Report, Governor, news has come from Nanwan Harbor that a fleet of Mali people has been found in the South Sea."

Su Ping stared at the sea and found the whereabouts of the Mali people in Nanwan Harbor, it seems that the Mali people still don't give up and want to continue to fight us.

"Inform Han Ergou and order him to send a grasshopper clipper to explore along the coastline to see if he can find out the whereabouts of the Mali people."

"Command the Bird Battalion, order the new Bird to go out and search the sea."

Su Ping always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong, but there must be something wrong.

The herald took the order and went to find Han Ergou to pass the order.

In the sky that Su Ping couldn't see, a card of the main general was hung on Han Ergou's body, and at the same time, the cards belonging to the navy, the elite soldier card, the sailor card, and the goose-shaped array card were also hung on the body of the generals under Han Ergou's command at the same time.

Han Ergou, who was on the warship with a few robes, was shocked, only to feel that his brain had become a lot clearer, and a lot of news flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand what the commander said about the water war in the past.

Looking at the herald who came hurriedly in the distance, Han Ergou kicked the deputy general Han Tong next to him:

"Hurry up, there's work done."

Han Tong glared at Han Ergou and said irritably:

"What's the job, the Mali people are afraid that we have hostages in hand, and they don't dare to do anything with us, besides, just the little ship of the Mali people, dare to attack our port, and the artillery can hit them crying dad and mother."

"General Han, the commander has an order, ordering you to send the grasshopper clipper to search the coastline for the whereabouts of the Mali fleet."

Han Ergou got up sharply, returned a military salute to the herald, asked a few questions, and said simply:

"Han Tong, the whole army, bring me the eight grasshopper clippers that the Ordnance Mansion recently sent, and order Duan You to lead the team to search for the whereabouts of the Mali people."

"Xu Er, take your people and give me a good look at this group of Mali hostages."

Han Ergou whistled, jumped on a grasshopper clipper next to him, and led the troops.

Watching the grasshopper clipper sail out of Dongji Port, the waves began to get higher, the fishy smell of the sea water filled the nostrils at once, and the refreshing feeling permeated the whole body, Han Ergou only felt full of joy.

Looking east, the sea and the sky meet, and there is a world of water everywhere.

Duan You led eight grasshopper boats out of the harbor and shouted to Han Ergou through the air:

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Don't throw the brethren into the sea."

"Search the coastline for the Mali people."

Han Ergou scolded twice, and urged the grasshopper boat to set off, this is a new clipper sent by the Ordnance Palace, twice the speed of the original grasshopper ship, in the past training at sea, running is refreshing, this time it is used to track the whereabouts of the Mali people, but it is just right.

As soon as his face was wet, the bean-sized rain crackled down, and in an instant, his clothes were wet.

Han Ergou glanced at the sailor army with rain gear in an orderly manner, and felt relieved in his heart, since the navy army became an army, it has only been a few decades of hard work, and these guys have become the elite of a hundred battles.

In the early years, when they left the port, when they encountered such weather, they all shouted to go back to Hong Kong to sleep, but now not only do they not mention sleeping, but they don't take this little rain seriously.

"Let's go, search eastward, and if we don't find any trace of the Malis, we won't return to the ship."

When Su Ping returned to the water army village, it began to rain in the sky, thinking about the order he had just given, Su Ping hesitated, whether to wait for the rain to stop before going out to search for the traces of the Mali people.

However, this thought was fleeting, and the military situation was like fire, if the Mali people wanted to attack the East Pole Port, they would not give up the attack because of the rain today, on the contrary, in such weather, the visibility was not high enough, and the artillery array could not shoot far, which was a good opportunity for them to attack in a big way.

There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, Su Ping asked his own soldiers how Han Ergou was doing with the news.

The soldiers told the news that Han Ergou had not returned, and Su Ping's brows furrowed, he had not come back yet, what direction did Han Ergou go to search.

Five days later, Su Ping looked at the ragged Han Ergou and scolded angrily:

"You turtle egg thing, Lao Tzu asked you to search for the Mali people, where are you going to ask for food?"

Han Ergou smiled, "Commander, I won't tell you, I searched eastward, and I intuitively felt that the Mali people must have gone east, but I couldn't find it, Duan You's grandson has been shouting to find the Sea Dragon King Island, and he will also search for the Mali people." ”

"I wondered right now, what do the Malis want to do the most?"

"Of course, it is to rescue his army that is trapped in the Chu State, or to rescue them, or to cooperate with the outside and the outside, and destroy our Han army."

"Huaishui!"

Su Ping suddenly spoke, stood up suddenly, Su Ping walked to the defense map, looked at the direction of Huaishui marked on the map, and smashed his fist on the defense map.

"Damn, this group of grandsons must go to Huaishui, whether it is to besiege our army in Cangwu or to withdraw their army in Cangshan, it is possible to succeed."

Su Ping turned his head to look at Han Ergou and asked:

"How about it, how many warships are there and how many infantry are transported, can you find out?"

Han Ergou said respectfully:

"There are a lot of warships, one big ship, two stern fighting ships, and the rest of the troop carriers, grasshopper ships, about thirty or more, I estimate that the Mali people want to come to a big one this time."

Su Ping waved his hand to stop Han Ergou from continuing, and asked:

"How about it, are you sure to make a big one and pit that big ship."

Han Ergou sat down on the chair, pursed his lips, picked up an apple on the desk and nibbled on it.

"The Mali people are slippery and tight, what are we going to do with their big ships, maybe even our own ships will have to be lost."

Su Ping sighed, it was his own wishful thinking.

"Go, send a message to the prince, and say that you have found the traces of the army of the Mali people."

"Damn, these bastards, Lao Tzu can't get your big ship, and he can't clean up your three grandsons who went ashore, they've all been caught, a lot of little money."

Han Ergou also shouted beside him: "Yes, I can't catch your boat, and I can't catch your people, Commander, let me go, I will definitely be able to kill them." ”
