Chapter 715: Journey to the Southeast (14)
On the Yangtze River from Shengzhou to Geshan Town, Wuhu County, Xuanzhou, a fleet of sailors with nearly 100 warships of various types was sailing on the Yangtze River.
Although this fleet of sailors sailed together, they carried two flags.
This is also normal, after all, it is two fleets. The larger one is the Yangtze River Sailor of the imperial court, that is, the Wang Shi Miao Department who returned from Fujian; The smaller one was the fleet sent by Feng Hongduo, the assassin of Shengzhou.
In addition, Feng Hongduo also sent his cronies to personally drive a boat to follow. It contained more than a dozen boxes of various gold, silver, jewelry, and other rare gadgets, which were transported to Chang'an, and then checked the important ministers of Chang'an to see if they could change their positions.
The relationship between Feng Hongduo and Tian Hao was a little delicate, so after seeing that it was not far from Tian Hao's territory, the people sent by Feng Hongduo planned to return home.
But at this moment, a huge fleet suddenly appeared in the sky, and seeing the patches of white sails, the fleet that was going upriver suddenly sounded a rapid horn, shattering the peace of the morning.
The sailors who were originally a little lazy hurriedly returned to their battle positions from various places when they heard the sound of the horn, picked up their weapons, looked at the fleet that suddenly appeared in the distance, and waited for it.
Even Feng Hongduo, who had already turned around and returned home, stopped one after another, with a solemn expression.
The imperial sailors didn't know the situation, but they knew the fleet in front of them.
It seems that the sails of this fleet are hung with all kinds of messy sails, giving people the impression of water bandits. But in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, how many large-scale water bandits can there be?
Mixed river dragon is counted.
But the 'water bandits' in front of him have hundreds of warships, as well as tall building ships, which is this a ship that a water bandit has?
To put it bluntly, there are people who do misdeeds under the banner of water bandits.
Who can be around here?
In addition to Feng Hongduo and Tian Hao, who else could there be?
But Feng Hongduo didn't need to make a move on his own territory, at least he had to wait for the sailors of the imperial court to leave the territory of Shengzhou before making a move.
And in Feng Hongduo's state, he didn't dare to do it.
In addition to Feng Hongduo, there is also Tian Hao.
Thinking of this, Wang Shimiao was also surprised, this Tian Bao is bold enough!
"Commander, this water bandit is not good, is it aimed at Shengzhou?" Cao Du asked.
"Shengzhou? This commander does not think that it is possible that he will come against us. Tell them to go down, be ready, if someone is really looking for death, you might as well fulfill the other party. Wang Shimiao smiled coldly.
Although Cao Du was a little puzzled, Wang Shimiao didn't plan to explain, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare for battle.
You must know that from the time it was manufactured to the present, the No. 2 Ning ship has never been in actual combat.
The power of the eight Shence General Cannons, except for the gunner, many people have never seen it, and they don't know how powerful it is.
To know the power of the Divine Cannon, they have already been surprised, and how powerful this larger and heavier Divine Ce General Cannon is, it is even more exciting.
As the order was transmitted to the ships through the flag, the entire naval division was ready for battle.
The soldiers of the sailor were a little nervous and a little excited.
Nervously, it was the first time they had fought against such a large fleet; Excitedly, this is all a battle feat!
Isn't being a soldier just hoping for military exploits?
Exploits are their motivation.
Both fleets raised their sails and sailed in opposite directions like arrows from a string, constantly closing the distance between the two sides.
The No. 2 Ning boat at the foot of Wang Shimiao took the lead, but then it was quickly overtaken by several No. 1 Ning boats.
The No. 2 Ning ship is large, so it moves slowly.
On the water bandits' side, they were also a little surprised to see the sailors of the imperial court rushing up directly. The court sailor is too conceited, right? Just rely on this little boat, and dare to face it head-on?
Since the sailors of the imperial court want to find death, they naturally want to fulfill it.
After the order was given on the ship, which was the flagship, the soldiers of each ship, disguised as bandits, were armed and ready for battle.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
And the person sent by Feng Hongduo to escort was in a hurry.
They thought that this water bandit was here to trouble them, but the other party didn't care about their side at all, and directly killed the sailors of the imperial court.
That huge banner, they don't believe that the water bandits haven't seen it, there are always a few literate people, right?
But the water bandits still rushed straight towards the imperial court sailors, which clearly went to the imperial court sailors.
If something happens to the imperial court sailor in Shengzhou, then the matter will be big.
"Come on, take a clipper and report the situation here to Thorn Shi." Feng Hui hurriedly instructed his subordinates.
"Yes, General!"
The man received the order, and hurriedly came to a small boat next to him, and asked people to paddle hard. Under the gaze of Feng Hui and the others, the small boat went down the river and soon left the fleet.
"General, what now? Can we help the court? Someone from one of my men asked.
Feng Hui hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Help." If something happens to the sailors of the imperial court in our Shengzhou, we will all be implicated.
This Xuanzhou clearly wants to frame us, and we can't let them succeed. ”
"Yes..."
Before the words fell, someone on the flagship exclaimed.
"Look, what's that?"
Everyone shifted their attention, including Feng Hui.
They saw that the warships at the front of the imperial navy were still more than a hundred feet away from the bandit fleet, and black smoke was rising.
Everyone was stunned?
Why did the ship of the imperial court sailor smoke at the same time? It's on fire, or is it?
。。。。。。
Since Geshan Town is not far from Shengzhou, it is also downstream again. When the messenger ran on the streets of Shengzhou City, there was not even an hour.
However, when the messenger ran into the Assassin's Mansion, the entire Assassin's Mansion was fried.
It was not long before Shengzhou was promoted to a state, but because it is the hometown of Jinling, it is needless to say that it is prosperous. Yang Xingmi chose to recuperate, but Tian Hao was unwilling, he had always had ideas about Shengzhou, but the sailor couldn't do it, so he didn't take much action.
But this time, Tian Hao asked his sailors to pretend to be bandits to attack the Yangtze River sailors of the imperial court, and they were still on his Feng Hongduo's territory, wasn't this intentional?
Even if Tian Hao did this, he Feng Hongduo would not be able to get involved at that time.
So after hearing the news, Feng Hongduo was angry at the time, "This Tian Bao, his heart can be punished!" ”
"Thorn History, what now? Xuanzhou Tian Hao obviously wants to set up a blame! Feng Hongduo's general Yan Jian said worriedly.
"What can I do? The order is to go down and gather the sailors to reinforce the imperial navy, and we can't let the imperial sailors have an accident in our Shengzhou. Feng Hongduo ordered anxiously.
"But the history of the assassination, is it too late?"
"No matter if he has time or not, we must make an appearance so that we can give the court an errand!"
