Chapter 872: A Bitter Lesson (Page 1/1)

Aufu and Shinno Taro led an army of more than 60,000 men and more than 200 warships to Xiangjiang Island. This scale is almost the total strength of the Japanese and the Yi people. Among them, there are also some strong men who have been captured by small neighboring countries, but in fact, the total number of real Japanese and Yi people is far from half.

Dominating the majority with a small number of people is the genius of the Japanese and the Yi people, and they will not always catch the strong men from one place. Instead, they shot one shot at the east and one shot at the west, and took a hundred people captive in one country, and a hundred people were taken captive in that country. This ensures that these people do not unite in rebellion.

The sun rises in the middle of the day, and it is the hottest time of the day. There is no place on the surface of the sea to block the sun, and the sea water reflects the sunlight like a mirror. As a result, the ships sailing on the sea were like being in steamers, and it was extremely hot.

Taro Shinno stood on the bow of the ship on the deck, looking at Koe Island, where only the tip of the iceberg could be seen in front of him, and his face was full of solemnity.

"I guess there will be a storm in this weather, Mr. Off, why don't we rest for a while. What do you think about waiting for this storm to pass and then planning for the future? Taro Shinno said earnestly.

"Yes, this damn weather can change when it says ......" Auf was obviously unwilling, seeing that he could hit Xiangjiang Island, but he was stopped by such damn weather and had to stop to rest.

Subsequently, Auf ordered the whole army to rest in place, and all the ships were chained together to withstand the storm that could come at any time.

The Yi people and the Japanese army were busy fending off the storm at sea, and Mao Wenlong's side did not stop. The huge feathers returned, which shocked the Dongjiang army.

Mao Wenlong was even more frightened into a cold sweat after listening to the huge description. The advantage of the hot air balloon was actually broken by Yiren in this way, which was completely unexpected by him.

"Huge ringing arrows......" Mao Wenlong frowned and muttered.

"Yes, the soldiers, those Yiren are shooting our hot air balloons with some louder arrows. And the effect is so great that we lose a lot as soon as we come into contact with it. What's even worse is that in the face of the attack of the Yiren, we are now powerless. "The vast man is gray-headed.

The battle at sea scared him a lot, even he himself almost didn't come back. Of the 100 hot air balloons that came back unharmed, about 30 crashed and more than a dozen were damaged.

This is the first time since the appearance of a hot air balloon, and according to huge estimates. If he hadn't ordered a retreat in time, he might have lost much more than that.

The losses were so great, but they failed to cause any damage to the Yiren warship, and they didn't even have the opportunity to throw a pot of fierce fire oil or gunpowder.

Mao Wenlong didn't care about the huge words, he was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he kept muttering the word arrow in his mouth!

After a long time, Mao Wenlong suddenly came to his senses, and his bright eyes shot a thick murderous intent. I only heard Mao Wenlong suddenly snort coldly: "Come on, come over with a few ringing arrows immediately." Also, bring along craftsmen who know how to make arrows. ”

No one knows what Mao Wenlong is going to do? looked at Mao Wenlong one by one in amazement, his face full of confusion. And the guards didn't think about it so much, in short, what Mao Wenlong told them to do, they couldn't be wrong. When even two guards surrendered their orders, and then hurried away.

At this time, Mao Wenlong suddenly looked at Adou beside him, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, if an ordinary bow and arrow is tied to a ringing arrow and shot down from a high altitude, how far can it shoot?" ”

Adou was confused, and he was even more puzzled by Mao Wenlong's question. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and replied: "The chief soldier, the subordinates have never calculated, if the chief soldier needs it, the subordinates can calculate it now." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded and agreed.

After Adou left, Haoda asked anxiously, "Chief soldier, what is this for?" Is there a way to crack the rattling arrows? ”

was put on a position like this, and he suffered a big loss, and he was always unconvinced in his heart to say that it was huge. It has always been the Dongjiang Army that is pressing others to fight, when the situation is reversed. Such a huge contrast directly caused Haoda to be very depressed and unwilling.

"There is always a way, but it still needs to be calculated." Mao Wenlong replied casually.

At this time, the sky, which had been very clear, began to gradually become overcast, and the sultry sea breeze felt very uncomfortable on the body.

"The storm is coming......" Hao Da immediately looked up at the sky, muttering in his mouth.

"Hehe, this storm came quite in time......" Mao Wenlong said inexplicably, then turned around and returned to the house on the dock.

A moment later, two guards arrived with a dozen ringing arrows, as well as a dozen craftsmen in the army who made them.

Mao Wenlong retreated two secret guards, leaving behind the sound of arrows and more than a dozen craftsmen. First, he picked up the rattling arrow and looked at it for a while, with a satisfied look on his face.

"You made all these arrows, right?" Mao Wenlong didn't raise his head, and asked suddenly.

After a short silence, an old man stood up and replied: "Lord Commander, the arrows currently used in the army are all made by more than a dozen of us ourselves. ”

The old man was obviously the eldest of the dozen people, and he was also the master of the dozen people. Suddenly called by Mao Wenlong to ask about the arrow, the old man thought that there was something wrong with the arrow, and now Mao Wenlong was going to ask them for it.

Mao Wenlong saw a look of fear in the old man's eyes, knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't say it explicitly. After a moment of silence, Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and asked lightly: "Who are you, with a great name?" ”

The old man was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly replied: "The little old man is a person from the capital, and he used to be a craftsman in the craftsman's workshop, and his surname is Chen Ergou. ”

Chen Ergou, a very common name, the old man was very hesitant when he said his name, after all, such a name is difficult to be elegant. At this moment, he had to say that he had to say when asked by Mao Wenlong, so Chen Ergou was still quite apprehensive in his heart.

Mao Wenlong nodded, but he didn't care about the name, he pondered for a while before asking, "Mr. Chen, what did General Bing ask you about?" ”

Chen Ergou has been called so in his life, and he couldn't react for a while, and looked at Mao Wenlong stupidly, but he didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, the person behind him gently barreled him, and then he reacted.

Chen Ergou was so excited that he knelt down directly, and shouted: "Chief soldier, you can't do it, the villain is a rough person, how dare you be called a gentleman......"

Mao Wenlong frowned and drank coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business." ”
