No, I can't wait any longer, Liu Zheng hurried to the bottom of the city wall, and hurriedly asked the officers and soldiers to rule the divers on the shore to hurry up.

These people have drills and chisels in their hands, and they don't pay much attention to the big ship, as long as it is a ship, there is no chisel that does not leak, and the bigger the ship, the faster it will sink when the time comes!

These people are all river thieves who have been trading crops in the river all year round, and doing this is their old business, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's heavy money to buy them, they would not have come to participate in the war.

At this time, the man who took the lead saw that the officers and soldiers had gone back first, so he summoned everyone, about twenty or so, together to discuss.

"Brothers, I heard that the prince named Zhao Rui is so rich! Why don't we grab him today? ”

His subordinates like to discuss with him the most, and whenever this happens, they wonder how can there be such a bad person? So it is also indirectly a psychological comfort for themselves.

Look, the worst of the people are here, we're just the good guys among the pirates.

"King, can we do it, they all say that Zhao Rui's firearms are powerful, don't let us get on the boat and let him be killed directly!"

"Hey, you guys know a!"

The leader took off his clothes and was about to go into the water in a moment.

"You think, firearms are naturally to be used, and ** is afraid of water, so he should be afraid of us, if one of us is not happy, directly sink his ship, isn't it his musket artillery or something, it's useless!"

"Yes, your great idea, my lord!"

A few sycophants applauded.

"Okay, yes, even if they don't have any gold and silver on the ship, but they have firearms, Zhao Rui's firearms are invincible in the world, but only he has them, and the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty don't have them, you say, if we snatch it for him, and then contact the government to sell it, how much silver can it be worth?"

The leader is seductive, and the eyes of those subordinates are shining, yes, it is definitely a good opportunity to make a windfall!

So what are you waiting for!

Hurry up!

Plop and plop, one by one jumped into the water.

This distance of nearly a kilometer is not a small amount to them at all, most of the time they are close to the bottom of the water, and occasionally they stick their mouths on the surface of the water to change their breath.

After Zhao Rui shouted this time, considering that Yingzhou was a big city, he waited for a long time, and in addition to giving them time for the Yuan army to consider, he also asked those unmistakable people to flee quickly, so as not to be injured later.

At this time, the soldiers on the ship were also busy, and they were about to prepare to fire the cannon in a while, so they arranged the shells, and then adjusted the scale and angle according to the data provided by Xiong Er.

It's almost time to go!

Zhao Rui had a faint expression on his face, stood up and walked to the center of the boat.

At this time, without anyone noticing, 5 wet shirtless people suddenly climbed up from the railing!

Who!

The soldiers were so frightened that those who approached immediately stepped forward and arrested them.

"Wait! We're here to find the prince! ”

The leader of the Jiang thieves did not panic at this time, and shouted loudly, but there were really no officers and soldiers who stepped forward again, and at this time, all eyes looked at Zhao Rui, who was in the middle of the bottom deck.

"Oh? Who are you? ”

Zhao Rui was about to give the order to shoot, and seeing that a few people were really brave, he walked over while talking.

The eyes of the five men were already attracted by the dense mortars on the ship, they knew that it was artillery, but they had never seen such light artillery.

Moreover, the dense artillery glowed with a metallic cold light, which made their hearts shake even for a moment.

Forget it, don't look for death and grab any firearms, run for your life!

Fortunately, the leader has an extraordinary calmness, which is enough to deal with Zhao Rui's questioning.

"We are the people sent by General Liu of the Yuan Dynasty to deal with you, but we want to talk to you first!"

Sure enough, it was the enemy, and the soldiers began to wait again, ready to arrest them.

"Wait, let's talk!"

Zhao Rui is full of indifference, in the boring war, it can be regarded as a small adjustment, and maybe it will bring some unexpected joy.

"Well, we just want some firearms, and we'll leave, and of course we'll let you go!"

When the leader said this, the soldiers next to him suddenly burst out laughing, in fact, they also knew that there must be rules in the war, but they were only five unarmed, and they were still thinking about dealing with the prince, isn't this a big joke.

At this time, Zhao Rui understood a little, and said with a smile: "So you received Liu Zheng's silver, and then came to me to get some firearms?" That means you both collect money, but you don't do any work? ”

"Haha, it's worthy of the prince, it's really a little thorough!"

The leader laughed, and the soldiers couldn't imagine why he was laughing.

"Well, I understand what you're here for, but I'm curious about why you?"

Zhao Rui also thinks that these people are too ignorant of the sky, isn't this equivalent to standing in front of themselves and farting, what else can threaten them now?

Zhao Rui thought, even if there is, it is not much, and it will not be something that ordinary people can get casually.

"Why ......?"

The leader's face changed, and he said sharply: "Just because I still have a few brothers under your ship, if you don't agree, I will immediately give them the order to scuttle the boat!" ”

Ooh!

It turned out that someone was scuttling the ship, and the soldiers all felt that they were too careless on their side at this time, and they were approached by someone without noticing.

Zhao Rui was happy at this time, the soldiers didn't know that it was normal, but he knew that the most epoch-making significance of this ship was the use of iron plates at the bottom of the ship.

If it can really be easily chiseled through by him, then Zhao Rui is still a fart.

"Why, I'm scared! Give us firearms, and give me another boat, and your big ship will be safe and sound, isn't that great? ”

"Idiot!"

Zhao Rui was about to turn his head and walk away at this time.

This left the leader a little overwhelmed.

Why, aren't you afraid that such a big ship will sink!

"Well, maybe I'm too merciful, I should dig a small hole before I come up and negotiate with you!"

As he spoke, the leader turned to the boat and shouted, "Give me the same hole!" ”

There are really people waiting for the letter under the ship, and they have received orders, and they have not entered the water so far, so they should have gone to scull the boat.

"Hahaha, lord, don't regret it later, because all this is your choice!"

Zhao Rui didn't want to deal with it, but when he heard him say it, he couldn't help but say, "Then what if you can't wear it?" ”

What the?

The leader was stunned, how could there be a ship that could not be chiseled?

But at this time, I heard the sound of metal bumping under my feet.

"Oo......oo

This is!

The leader narrowed his eyes unfortunately, and looked at Zhao Rui in horror, he was a little unfavorable when he spoke.

"No...... No way, why is the bottom of your ship iron! How to do it! ”

"Then I'm not obligated to answer your question! Come on, tie them with heavy objects and throw them into the water! ”

At this moment, all five of them were really scared stupid.

The soldiers were approaching them, and they were terrified, and finally turned around, and they were all thrust into the water.

"You want to run?"

Zhao Rui ordered: "Use muskets to face me on the water!" As long as there is one who floats up to breathe, shoot me and leave no mouth alive! ”

Zhao Rui is also not used to their problems, a few little thieves actually want to rob themselves while they are in the war, they are really blind.

By this time, quite a few people had already started shooting into the water.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of screams, and the river beside the boat also turned red at this moment!

Bastard!

The leader has the best water nature, and he dives the farthest, and he swims and swims until he can no longer hold his breath, and quietly raises his head on the water.

At this time, he was already some distance from the big ship, and seeing that the people on the ship were killing his own people with muskets, the leader didn't mention how aggrieved he felt in his heart.

I guess none of my men can escape today!

No, there are still people?

The leader consciously felt a rush of water behind him, and wanted to turn around to see that it was his subordinate who had escaped.

However, in front of him was a bloody mouth.

"No ......"

The leader was bitten by a crocodile, and in an instant there was no movement.

The leader was also unlucky, as his blood attracted a large number of crocodiles, and now his body had been bitten to pieces by multiple crocodiles.

"A bunch of two fools!"

Zhao Rui didn't feel that it was a transfer now, but felt that it was a waste of time, he walked to the center of the deck again, and ordered loudly: "Three groups, ***, shoot!" ”

The third group is the mortars placed on the top deck, a total of 200 pieces.

"Wow......"

A series of indescribable shells shot into the sky, and then they all fell on Yingzhou City like rain.

Liu was also experienced in facing mortars, and as soon as he saw the fire on the ship, he knew that it was not good, and quickly ordered everyone to dodge and deal with it.

By this time, most of the people had fled the city, and countless shells covered the area.

It can be described as a bomb that shakes the ground and shakes the mountains!

Bastard!

Liu Zheng thought that Zhao Rui and the others would not conduct test firing now, it was really too difficult for people to defend in advance.

This time, Liu Zheng is guarding Yingzhou City, and the biggest reliance is the trenches crisscrossing the ground, if the **** is about to fall, people jump into the trenches, there will be a great hope to avoid injury.

"Let's attack!"

Liu Zheng gave another order, and as a result, the gate of Yingzhou City opened, and more than 100 search ships sailed out of the city, and these warships were also equipped with artillery, but their guns were too heavy, so that a ship could only accommodate one cannon.

These warships headed towards Zhao Rui's fleet, gradually forming a neat formation as they went, and they also looked like a group of well-thought-out sailors.

But after Zhao Rui saw it, he smiled.

"That's right, just besieging a city is too monotonous. Xiong Er, you lead two groups to attack the opponent's warship! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Xiong Er quickly aimed at the position, waved his hand, and the two groups of more than 200 mortars were fired together.
