Chapter 400: Boat Piloting

Gu Hongxuan traveled back and forth between different ships in half a day, and every place he went, a fire would ignite, and he looked at the fire with indescribable excitement. This was the task given to him by Yang Zhong, to set fire to the ships of the Lower Tang Navy Division as much as possible during the battle, and to cause as much damage as possible.

Of course, Gu Hongxuan did not encounter the enemy in this process, but fortunately, he had selected some of the soldiers with the strongest combat effectiveness from the martial arts guard to follow him in advance, and handed them over to them when he encountered the enemy's resistance.

When he entered the ship, which even Gu Hongxuan couldn't remember, he had just lit the flint and was about to put it into the cabin, but at a glance, he found something unusual in the cabin. Gu Hongxuan entered the cabin, and with the help of the light of the flint, he saw a pile of gunpowder stone powder piled up in a cabin, stacked at the bottom of the cabin.

Looking at this boatload of gunpowder stone powder, Gu Hongxuan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, his hands trembled uncontrollably, if he hadn't held the flint with both hands, the ignited flint would have fallen into these powders. This consequence is far beyond Gu Hongxuan's imagination, not to mention his own life, even those who are still fighting on other ships will all be shattered in an instant.

"What do the people of the Lower Tang want to do? Do they plan to transport all these gunpowder stones into the capital? The consequences were unimaginable! Gu Hongxuan thought about it, this ship must not be let go of it, and his eyes only turned around before he thought about it.

When Gu Hongxuan returned to the deck, the ship was already under their control. Gu Hongxuan asked the rest of his subordinates, "Which of you knows how to steer a ship?" ”

For a while, Gu Hongxuan was only silent, and this was what he expected, they were all cavalry, and they had never been trained to fight on horseback, who had ever experienced the training of driving a ship?

Now the problem is in front of Gu Hongxuan, if he fails to pilot the ship, his plan will be completely ruined. Gu Hongxuan hurriedly looked around, the other ships were all fierce battles, and he could only stomp his feet.

"That's all it takes, you're still ......."

"Commander, I'm willing to try!"

Before Gu Hongxuan's words were finished, he heard someone volunteering, he looked excitedly in the direction of the sound, and in his expectant eyes and the surprised eyes of others, a teenager walked out of the crowd.

"Ji Wenhan?" Gu Hongxuan couldn't help but call out the young man's name directly. He only knew about this young man after he met Xuan Shaoning in Huazhou City, he hadn't noticed this young man before, and now he really didn't expect this ordinary young man to be able to drive a ship?

"Commander, why don't you let me try!" Ji Wenhan said: "If the commander wants to sail this ship away from the fleet, I still have the ability to do it." ”

"You Jingyi Army are just cavalry and infantry, I don't have any opinion on how you can be water-based, but where did you learn the ability to drive ships?"

"Is the Commander going to listen to my story here, or is he going to finish this battle first?"

Ji Wenhan's simple words made Gu Hongxuan speechless. At this time, it was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Gu Hongxuan nodded and waved his hand one after another to let Ji Wenhan follow him to the bridge.

This is a ship made by Xia Tang himself, and the specifications of the ship are almost exactly the same as those of the girder, the reason is that the original shipbuilding technology was transmitted from the girder to the lower Tang. This ship was not at all comparable to the command ship, and was far inferior to the command ship in terms of size and speed, which may be why it was chosen to carry gunpowder powder.

As soon as he entered the wheelhouse, Ji Wenhan faced the rudder and stroked it lightly for a while, and then looked back and forth for a while. Gu Hongxuan anxiously urged: "Are you appreciating treasures?" Time waits for no one, if you can't, hurry up! ”

To say that Gu Hongxuan's words are really not good, but Ji Wenhan didn't reply anything, he still familiarized himself back and forth at his own pace, just when Gu Hongxuan couldn't bear it, Ji Wenhan grabbed the rudder with both hands and swung it hard in one direction.

Gu Hongxuan wasn't ready yet, but he suddenly felt the hull of the ship vibrate, and he almost fell to the ground without standing firmly, if he hadn't reached out quickly enough to grab some objects. Then, to Gu Hongxuan's surprise, the ship slowly began to retreat under the guidance of Ji Wenhan and withdrew from the fleet.

At first, Gu Hongxuan thought that he was delusional, he hurriedly lay on the bridge and looked outside, and sure enough, the ships that were still beside him were now getting farther and farther away from him.

"Hey, you kid really have two hits!" Gu Hongxuan slapped Ji Wenhan's shoulder in surprise and shouted, "Your Jingyi Army is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I thought Xuan Shaoning was powerful enough, but I never thought that you, a little hairy child, would be so powerful!" ”

Ji Wenhan barely squeezed out a smile, Gu Hongxuan's palm was really powerful, and his shoulders began to ache. Seeing Gu Hongxuan's excited appearance, Ji Wenhan had no choice but to hurriedly ask, "Commander, where are you going to let this ship go?" ”

The departure of a small ship from the fleet did not attract much attention, especially since the fierce fighting on the command ship had made it impossible for either side to devote even the slightest attention to other situations. The battle at the bow of the ship was Shen Ming and a few others against the soldiers of the Lower Tang Naval Division who came up one after another; Yan Keran fought with Long Wen; The battle at the stern of the ship was mainly fought between Yang Zhong, Xuan Shaoning and Yong Wujian.

Looking at the battle on the bow of the ship first, there are not many soldiers of the Liang Dynasty who originally followed the family sending team on the ship, and the remaining few people are all around Shen Ming, if there is no Shen Ming, they would be corpses now. Judging from the number of people, the Lower Tang Sailors had a clear advantage, and they came up round after round, and the result was basically to drop a pile of corpses and retreat.

Shen Ming occupied the position from the deck to the command platform, and it was because of his persistence that the soldiers of the Tang Navy Division failed to rush to the command platform, so as not to affect the battle between Yan Keran and Long Wen.

Long Wen was already afraid of Shen Ming, his two fingers were still on the ground, but he was not too afraid of Yan Keran, because Yan Keran still had a woman behind him to protect, and once he had a heart of gain or loss, he would have a time to take care of one or the other. Long Wen had already heard the sound of battle coming from the stern of the command ship, he knew that Yong Wujian made a move, the kung fu of this sailor commander has always been a mystery, almost no one in the Lower Tang Dynasty knew how much he was capable of, and what kind of enemy he was going to deal with Long Wen believed that Yong Wujian would not have difficulty. At the moment, I still have to care about myself, after all, I have been injured.

Yan Keran must deal with Longwen as soon as possible, and then he can snatch control of this command ship, once he controls the command ship, it will be half the success of this battle. Yan Keran was anxious, he quickly rushed to the side of the dragon pattern and swung his knife to cut off the enemy's retreat, he wanted to force Long Wen into a corner.

Long Wen is also one of the six tribes of the Tang Dynasty anyway, where is it so easy to deal with? He cooperated with Yan Keran to retreat all the way, retreated to the side of the boat until there was no way to retreat, and then turned over and jumped directly from the boat.

Yan Keran didn't expect Long Wen to make such a move, and it was able to take the initiative to jump into the river, which could be regarded as saving Yan Keran a lot of effort. In order to make sure that Long Wen had indeed fallen into the water, Yan Keran poked his head out to check, just in case he had already poked out the blade first, and only poked his head out when he was sure that there was no danger.

"Hey, send off the relatives!"

Long Wen really didn't give in, his body hung outside the side of the ship, relying on a pair of legs tightly wrapped around the anchor chain, and the whole person was lying on the hull of the boat, and he had been waiting for Yan Keran to poke his head out.

Yan Keran screamed badly, and at the same time as he quickly withdrew, Long Wen's claws had already been rowed out, and with a hiss, Yan Keran felt a huge force and fell directly from the side of the boat to the deck.

Seeing that Yan Keran was in trouble, Xuehuan screamed and ran to his side to help, and at the same time asked vigorously, "Don Ma, where are you injured?" ”

With the pull of the snow ring and Yan Keran's own retreat, the two finally retreated to the center of the deck, and Long Wen also took this opportunity to jump back on the deck. He looked at Yan Keran and Xuehuan with a smile, stretched out his paws and shook them a few times, and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Yan Keran got up and put down the saber that was blocking his face, and when he looked down, he saw the deep and long five claw marks on the knife's body, and he couldn't help but become short of breath.

Seeing that Yan Keran was not injured, Xuehuan's heart finally let go, and she looked at Long Wen again and only felt that this eunuch was really difficult to deal with.

"Pony, this eunuch will not be your opponent! I believe you! Of course, Her Royal Highness also believes in you, she is still ...... I'm still waiting for you to go back! ”

Xuehuan wanted to cheer Yan Keran up, but her words stung Long Wen again, his original smile had been completely put away, and he said in a cold voice: "None of you two want to go back alive today!" ”
