Qing Inland Coastal Defense Fortress.

The high walls of the city stand at the mouth of the only major river, which is the only seaport in Kiyonai. It is also a place defended by Wu Zhi, the Qing defender.

Wu Zhi was originally a pirate, and he was notoriously cruel when he was missing a hand. Ten of his men were good at sea. It is precisely because of these ten subordinates that Wu Zhi can safely sit on the power of the entire Qing Inner Mansion.

The October sea breeze was bitterly cold, and he stood on the castle tower, staring at the empty sea with his telescope in his hand. Wu Zhi's face was full of solemnity, and since he learned that the Dongjiang army was suddenly attacking, he began to fidget.

The prestige of the Dongjiang Army Naval Division has long been known, and he Wu Zhi has also heard of it. The Japanese and the Yi are not opponents, and the Tiger Pirate Regiment was easily defeated by the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division.

At this moment, there were two people standing next to Wu Zhi, it was Nangong Xianming and Li Erhu, who were lucky enough to escape. After escaping from the pirates, the two returned to the lair of the Tiger pirate group in the Spratly Islands. However, they found that they had been captured by the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division, and without a moment's stay, Nangong Xianming and Li Erhu turned around directly and came to his old friend Wu Zhi to defect.

Wu Zhi and Nangong Xianming had a deep friendship with each other, and after learning about Nangong Xianming's situation, he did not hesitate to take him in.

"Brother Xianming, why did you say that this time the Dongjiang Army Naval Division suddenly came to the Qing Inner Mansion of the younger brother? It seems that the younger brother and the Dongjiang army and sailors have always had no grievances and no enemies, why did he Mao Wenlong still come to capture us? Wu Zhi didn't look back, his eyes were always on the sea in the distance.

The atmosphere was a little tense, the strength of the Dongjiang Army was undoubted, and the officers and men in the Qing were full of seriousness.

Nangong Xianming was a little leisurely, he chuckled with his hands behind his back: "Brother Wu, the Dongjiang Army is obviously using you to practice this time." ”

Wu Zhi suddenly turned around when he heard this: "Why did Brother Xianming say this?" ”

Nangong Xianming still smiled: "It's very simple, all the Dongjiang Army was stationed in Qiongzhou Mansion for half a year. According to the information we have inquired, it proves that the Dongjiang Army Naval Division has been training. This time the troops were suddenly dispatched, and there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 200 warships. Later, the soldiers were divided into two ways, which is enough to explain the problem. I believe that Brother Wu also understands in his heart, but you don't admit it. ”

Nodding, Wu Zhi chuckled generously: "Brother Xianming is still so indifferent, it seems that Brother Xianming has a plan in his heart, right?" ”

"I can't talk about the plan, but there is a plan to protect Brother Wu's Qing Inner Mansion from being invaded by the Dongjiang Army." Nangong Xianming is very confident.

"Hahaha...... Big brother, we might as well go inside and talk about it. Wu Zhi burst out laughing.

Nangong Xianming didn't shirk it, and nodded directly and agreed. Wu Zhi did not delay, and even took the lead in walking towards the city tower in front.

The castle tower is located on the highest point, and the small building has a view of the sea on all sides, so the view here is absolutely the best. The two sat down one after another, and the guards served fragrant tea and retreated. Wu Zhi went straight to the point: "I don't know where the big brother's plan starts?" ”

Nangong Xianming chuckled: "Now we already know that the Dongjiang Army is here for military training. Their purpose is definitely not to invade the Qing Inner Mansion, so the elder brother can send troops to meet the battle, and then send some soldiers and horses to the Dongjiang army to practice their hands, and fool them, it's not difficult! ”

Wu Zhi's eyes lit up, he hesitated for a while, and then clapped his hands and praised: "The eldest brother is really smart, but the younger brother is confused." ”

Nangong Xianming will be modest: "Eh, why do you bother to say these polite words. ”

Wu Zhi chuckled twice, then quietly withdrew, and then turned around and came back soon after. and Nangong Xianming began to talk loudly, and they were no longer worried about the arrival of the Dongjiang Army.

Suddenly, there were horns outside, and the war drums were ringing non-stop. The shouts of the soldiers and the sound of footsteps sounded in a chaotic manner.

A hundred warships then set off from Yang Fan, which can be clearly seen in the city tower. Nangong Xianming retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "My brother is really willing to give up his capital, and he actually sent a hundred warships at once." ”

Today's Nangong Xianming is different from the past, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is alone. After all, he no longer has military power in his hands, and he does not have the same scenery as before. At this moment, seeing that Wu Zhi was a hundred warships as soon as he made a move, he began to be a little envious.

As if he had seen through Nangong Xianming's thoughts, Wu Zhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Xianming, I don't know if you are interested in getting an errand here for my brother?" ”

Nangong Xianming was quite surprised, and turned to look at Wu Zhi: "Brother can rest assured that brother?" ”

Wu Zhi still said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about, and don't misunderstand the eldest brother, the younger brother can only lend troops to the eldest brother, but will not give the eldest brother any military power." ”

Nangong Xianming frowned: "What did the brother mean by what he said just now?" ”

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Didn't the eldest brother say just now, this time the Dongjiang soldiers came to train us in two ways. Then the other way is the opportunity for the eldest brother to set up camp here, take root, and make a comeback, isn't it? ”

"What do you mean, brother, I will take the opportunity to ......take root in Hanoi," Nangong Xianming's eyes suddenly lit up.

After Wu Zhi's reminder, Nangong Xianming immediately reacted. This time, the troops of the Dongjiang Army came to train in two ways, and as long as Wu Zhi's side acted according to the plan just now, there should be no big problem. And if Hanoi really fights with the Dongjiang Army, there will definitely be losses and no wins.

The most important thing is that Nangong Xianming knows that even if the Dongjiang army defeats the pirates of Hanoi, it will definitely not occupy their lair. In this way, Nangong Xianming only had to wait for the Dongjiang army to retreat, and then he borrowed Wu Zhi's soldiers and horses to collect those defeated pirates.

At that time, a new group of subordinates will be gathered again, and with his Nangong Xianming ability, it is estimated that it will not take more than a year, and the scenery will still be beautiful.

Wu Zhi nodded heavily, and was about to say something, but saw a guard rushing in from outside the door, and said urgently: "General, we have started a battle with the Dongjiang Army." ”

"How's it going?" Wu Zhi suddenly became nervous.

"The Dongjiang Army has sharp artillery, and we are not opponents at all. Moreover, the Dongjiang Army still has something that can fly in the air, and that one is even more powerful, and we have no weapons to hit them at all. But they can throw fire oil and arrows on it, and once our ship is set on fire, it is almost useless, and there is no chance of salvage. The guard looked like he was in a state of apprehension.

"And how many ships do we have left?" Wu Zhi asked urgently.

"General Hui, at present, we only have more than 80 ships left, and the Dongjiang Army is extremely fierce, should we withdraw now?" The guards were flustered.
