Sweaty BMW has a slender body. The limbs are erect. Like a swimming dragon. Received bursts of applause from everyone. Wang Jin said excitedly: "This is not the legendary sweat and blood horse. As early as Tokyo, I heard that there was a large country in the west. Rich in sweat and blood BMW. ”

Luan Tingyu also said: "Good horse." Good horse. It's really a rare good horse. ”

Wu Yong said: "You are right. This is indeed a bloody BMW produced in the Western Regions. It was brought back from the grasslands of the Great Liao Kingdom by our caravan thousands of miles away. A total of five sweaty BMWs. The black one is male. There are also four mares who are also anomalous horses. It could have been a small group. A small amount of sweaty BMWs can be bred. But now that dream has come to naught. ”

Li Kui said: "Wu Junshi is so anxious. There are males. There is a mother. Pairing doesn't work anymore. What a dream has come to naught. ”

Wu Yong said: "When Brother Duan's horse gang drove the mules and horses to the boundary of Qizhou Mansion. The camp was attacked by a group of horse thieves at night. Snatched four mares. At the same time killed more than two dozen brothers of the caravan. The battalion commander of Niu Gao, who was sent to pick him up, searched along the horseshoe prints. It has been tracked to the boundary of Zengtou City. ”

Wang Jin and Luan Tingyu frowned after hearing this. Sun An said: "This thing should have been done by Zeng Tou City." Zengtou City started by selling horses. The love for good horses far exceeds that of others. ”

Wu Song shook the horse chopping knife in his hand. He said loudly, "Is there no one in this city?" The horses trained by the Jeju regiment also dared to rob. The first time to update the brother ordered to put. Let's step on Zengtou City. ”

"It's been unpleasant to see them for a long time. What the five tigers of the Zeng family. I think it's the five dogs of the Zeng family. We are willing to be pioneers. Flattened the city of Zengtou. Take the horses back. Li Kui shouted.

Chao Gai said: "We are Jeju officials. Zengtou City is also a local armed force. The time is not ripe for a blatant fight. It is not once or twice that the two sides have had a dispute over trade competition. The purpose of telling you about this today is to tell you. Our Jeju group training is still very weak. The little Zengtou City doesn't take us seriously. I hope that everyone can train more diligently. Build our team into an iron army as soon as possible. ”

But I couldn't help it. How dare you steal our horses. Update as soon as possible," Li Kui said.

Chao Gai said: "I can't help it, but I have to endure it." I can't help but go cross-country. The battalions were disbanded. Let's train separately. ”

The battalions went to train their own battalions. Li Kui and Bao Xu led the team to run cross-country. Twenty miles of weight-bearing off-road, that is the strength of the axe army. In Li Kui's words, good soldiers run out.

The crowd dispersed. Wang Jin and Luan Tingyu did not leave.

Wang Jin said: "I heard that it was said in the history books. Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was for a few sweaty horses. He has sent troops to the Great Wan Kingdom several times. This improved the horses of the Han Dynasty. Pure sweat and blood BMW is really rare. The four horses must be recovered. ”

Luan Tingyu also nodded: "Purebred sweat and blood BMWs are actually not suitable for riding in the Great Song Dynasty. The first time to update sweat blood BMW although fast. But the bearing capacity is poor. The general's armor and weapons are heavy. Sweat and blood BMW can't bear it. More sweaty BMW skin is thin. Resistant to roughage. But sweat and blood BMW can improve Xixia horses and Yanyun horses. The dark cloud treading snow that Chao Tuan practiced was a hybrid of a sweaty horse and a Xixia horse. It's fast and fast. The body is stout and stout. Therefore, it is very important to breed a batch of purebred sweat BMWs. ”

"Sweat and blood BMW is important. For this reason, Niu Gao also tied up the deputy head of Zengtou City. After I passed, I thought that Zeng Tou City would not exchange horses for Su Ding. Just let Su Ding go. The current form does not allow us to fight openly. Only other means can be considered. Chao Gai said.

Luan Tingyu said: "This is easy to do." Since they can pretend to be horse thieves and snatch the horses away. We can pretend to be a horse thief and get the horse back. ”

Chao Gai said: "Zengtou City just got a BMW. Definitely very wary. After a while, we will be slackened. We'll do it again then. Of course, we can't make Zengtou City better now. He can steal our horses. We'll cut off their waterways. ”

Wang Jin said: "If you cut off the connection between Zengtou City and Jinguo." Zengtou City must not be able to stand it. Maybe they'll give us back the horses. ”

Wu Yongye said: "This is a good way. Now in winter, it is just time to transfer part of Jeju Island's sailors to the salt farm. Intercept the Zengtou City transport ship on the sea. Not afraid that he will not surrender. ”

Today, there are still very few routes opened up by caravans for maritime trade. More and faster chapters are here. Only Goryeo and Dongyeong. So the winter trolls are not busy.

Ten days later. Yellow River. Yingkou. Zengjia Wharf by the sea in Zengtou City. The sea breeze whines in the winter. Freezing cold. The water near the shore is frozen. Hundreds of dock guards lazily set up fires on the docks. It was too cold. No one can bear it.

From time to time, there are people: "Why hasn't the cargo ship arrived?" What the situation. ”

"yes. It stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago. ”

The people on the dock of Zeng's house muttered. The waiting transport ship was delayed. It's really irritating. This shipment is amazing. There were eight hundred military horses. This was ordered by Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang, from Zengtou City. They are all horses that the people of Jin have trained and are familiar with. You can ride it when you get started. There are also ginseng, deer antler, mink, and some rare Liaodong medicinal materials. It's all something that is valuable in the Great Song Dynasty. There are a total of ten bird ships. Eight ships transported cargo. Two were warships. Last time, Zengtou City suffered a big loss in the water army. Went to great lengths to buy a giant crossbow. Each ship had three giant crossbows and a hundred sailors. It's just that their giant crossbow performance is not good. It's still the old breed from before. The range is quite long. But the rate of fire was slow. Cannot be fired in bursts.

Since this time has been calm. That's all it takes to transport by sea. It hasn't happened. Therefore, the vigilance of the Zeng family's water army is not high.

"Look. Smoking ship. "One of the sailors noticed a dozen large ships with no sails in the shape of a half-moon in front of him. Very curious. Be the first to update

The master who led the team is very experienced. After watching it for a long time, I didn't understand what this situation was.

Some sailors said: "Is this ship on fire?" Burned all the sails. ”

Or the captain shrewd. The eyes are good, too. He quickly said, "The situation is not right. Their ship is coming for us. Blow the trumpet. Prepare for battle. ”

As soon as the horn sounded. The sailors on the eight transport ships took out their bows and arrows one after another. The soldiers on both ships went to fiddle with their giant crossbows.

It's getting closer. The sailors of the Zeng family finally saw clearly. The ship is not on fire. Rather, it is a ship with a large chimney. On both sides of the boat, there are large paddlewheels that move the water. The ship moved fast.

It's no one else. It was none other than Nguyen Xiaoqi, who was stationed on New Jeju Island. Led a thousand naval forces and ten bird warships to intercept the Zeng family's merchant ships. It's a bit overkill. You must know that Ruan Xiaoqi's fleet is an all-steam ship. In terms of motivation. Don't talk about the Great Song Dynasty. Even the whole world is invincible.

Ruan Xiaoqi stood on the command podium of the flagship. He said to the herald beside him: "Pass the order." Hit again when you get closer. Mo lost the cargo on board. ”

"Yes." The herald waved the flag to the other ships. Other ships received the signal. Then ten battleships lined up in a half-moon shape and surrounded it. The Tiger squat guns of each ship have already been loaded with scattered shells. The Giant Crossbow has also been prepared with its bolts.

Zeng's fleet reversed course and wanted to run. But is that possible. Sailing is limited by the wind. It can't compare to the speed of a steam engine. It didn't take long to catch up. The two warships of the Zeng family fired their crossbows first. Three of the six huge crossbow bolts hit the ship. Three fell into the sea.

It's too late to shoot arrows. Ruan Xiaoqi commanded the Flying Eagle battleship to pounce over. I saw that the Zeng family's warship was in chaos. Sailors with bows and arrows find a place to shoot.

The tiger squat cannon fired. Only ten Tiger squat guns on two Flying Eagle ships opened fire. The iron sand buzzed through. The sailors of the Zeng family, who were messing up on the deck, suddenly fell in half. The other sailors went into hiding.

As for the sailors on the eight merchant ships, the sailors who saw the escort were not good. There is not much will to resist. The Zeng family and Jeju group training are different. Zeng's salary is low. Ordinary creeps and sailors are just a mixed meal. If you die in battle, your family may not be able to get any compensation. In terms of will to fight, it is far inferior to the naval army trained by the Jeju regiment.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Shouting." It's all native to Hongo. Those who do not resist will live. Dare to resist a dead end. ”

The loud sailors shouted with tin horns. However, the sea is rough and rough. I can't hear it clearly. The soldiers on the merchant ship did not dare to resist anyway. Disarmed the merchant sailors under the threat of cannons and crossbows. Still let them operate the boat. It's just the side of the route. Straight to Dengzhou. Two naval warships of the Zeng family. Not many sailors died in battle. However, many people were injured by bullets. One by one, they wailed on the deck. Ruan Xiaoqi didn't bother to pay attention to them. Let the giant crossbow fire a few arrows. Burned their sails to the ground. Only then did I quickly return home.

There is a fishing boat in Dengzhou. It is a natural harbor in the shape of a concave figure. It was discovered by accident when Chao Gai went to Dengzhou. It's called Zhengjia Village. Zhengjia Village makes a living by catching prawns and pike crabs. The people of the village were destitute. They can only make a living by eating shrimp and crabs. Later, the Chao family's caravan cooperated. We ship live pike crabs to Tokyo and other major cities for sale. Got a lot of benefits. Zhengjiacun has also received certain benefits. Now every family has a brick house. Brand new small fishing boats.

So when Ruan Xiaoqi led the Flying Eagle Fleet to come. They thought it was a merchant ship.

The waiting on the Zeng's dock is impatient. The sun is setting. The shadows of two ships finally appeared on the sea. The sails are gone. Swinging over. The boat is slow.

The guards on the docks saw that something was wrong. Report it now. The dock is in charge, and it is the pillar of the Zeng family. Zeng Dagongzi. The eldest prince is good at martial arts. The most important thing is robustness.

The guards ran to the study of the eldest prince in a hurry. "Our fleet has arrived. But there were only two ships. Please take a look at the Grand Pier. ”

Zeng Dagongzi is reading a book. When he heard this, he was shocked and dropped all the books on the ground.
