Qi Zhiyuan looked into the distance again, in the direction of the Pearl River, sighed, and said softly: "Although Staff Officer Shi is from a martial arts background, he is also a smart person, and he understands my intention in doing this, why is it arranged like this?" He knew very well that if he faced the competition with the Guangzhou sailors, even if he could be ruthless to others, those brothers who had good friends in the past would definitely have a hurdle in his heart if they really fought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter whether he wins or loses the battle, for him, he will lose, and he will not feel good in his heart. ”

The adjutant saw that the division commander didn't want to say anything anymore and had no intention of continuing to talk, so he quieted down and stood there honestly, holding a telescope from time to time, looking into the distance, in the direction of the sky over the Pearl River.

In the western waters of the Lingding Ocean, a formation of thunderous warships appeared in a certain area, and the vast water surface made them look like duckweed, so small and inconspicuous on the huge water surface.

The commander of this thunder formation is Zhuge Mou, at this time, Zhuge Mou stood on the deck, observing the river surface and the eastern area with a telescope, until a small boat appeared in sight and played some kind of flag, Zhuge Mou gave an order to the adjutant next to him, and said without looking back: "Raise the flag, let those patrol boats move, release a signal in the corresponding waters, and tell the division commander that we have arrived at the designated position." ”

With Zhuge Mou's order, the flag commanders on the command ship quickly waved their flags, and soon, one after another, the patrol ships moved, heading in the southeast, south, and southwest directions.

Not long after, in the waters of the Wanshan Islands, the adjutant beside Qi Zhiyuan suddenly put down the telescope in his hand, pointed to the sky in the west, and said loudly: "Division commander, division commander, look and see, Zhuge Staff Officer's black Kong Ming lantern has appeared, is it time for us to act?" ”

However, listening to the adjutant's shouting, Qi Zhiyuan did not get excited, he was very calm and calm, and he did not make any verbal response, but raised the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by the adjutant. Soon, Qi Zhiyuan's order sounded, sonorous and powerful, resounding throughout the command ship, and without the adjutant's transmission, the small flag in the hand of the flag commander had already waved.

"Pass my order, all the warships will be pulled out and go to the waters of the Pearl River!"

The flag commander waved the small flag three times, and in just a few minutes, all the large, medium and small warships moved, allowing the waves to beat, the sails were violently unfurled one after another, and the speed of the ships increased instantly.

At the same time, in the Hengzhou waters of the Pearl River, the Thunder Warship Formation led by Zhang Baozai also saw the black Kong Ming Lantern in the sky, and Zhang Baozai, who was located on the command ship, immediately gave an order: "Pass my order, all the warships pull up their anchors, and the sails are ready to open and enter the state of driving." As soon as the division commander comes with the news, immediately, go to the waters of the Pearl River in the northwest! ”

In the waters of the Pearl River in the southeast between Qi'ao Island and Neilingding Island, the huge warships of the Guangzhou Navy Division slowly moved towards the southeast against the direction of the wind, preparing to rendezvous with the British and Portuguese navies at the mouth of the Pearl River.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the warship of the Guangzhou Naval Division, especially on the command ship of Sun Chuanmou, the commander of the Naval Division, an officer and soldier in charge of the lookout quickly slid off the mast and went to the command cabin in a panic, walking in a hurry.

As soon as the lookout soldier broke into the command boat, he saw Sun Chuanmou sipping tea and tea, and comfortably let a maid massage him, so comfortable, with a comfortable face. Hearing the chaotic footsteps, I couldn't help frowning slightly, raised my eyes, and saw the lookout soldier's panicked intrusion, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and after putting down the teacup in his hand, he said lightly: "What's wrong?" What happened? Panic like this, if this situation occurs again, no one will report it, so I will rush in, and I will never spare it~! ”

The cold and faint voice made the lookout's body tremble, swallowed his saliva in fear, and squirmed twice in his throat, and then said cautiously: "Lord Qiqi, in the sky around us, there are many Kong Ming lanterns, black, white, red, and green, which look very weird. The subordinates felt that this situation was very suspicious and abnormal, so they came to report it. ”

However, Sun Chuanmou's reaction was very flat, with an indifferent look, and he simply asked, "Kong Ming lantern?" Are there any suspicious vessels in the nearby waters? Or do pirates appear? ”

"No, judging from the height of the Kong Ming lantern, the place where the Kong Ming lantern is released should be far away from our warship, not within the viewing range of the telescope."

Sun Chuanmou didn't care anymore, leaned back, closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Then it's fine, there's nothing to worry about." This naval battle, whether it is the telescopes equipped for you or the red-coated cannons on the warship, are the best, compared to those things of the foreigners, and are completely comparable to the cannons and birds of pirates. ”

"Don't worry, even if something is really suspicious, and there are really pirates sneaking up on us, there is nothing to be afraid of. Not only are our ships strong and their guns are strong, but as long as the sailors move a little closer to the south, there will be coastal batteries in Xiangshan County to support them. If you are really invincible, you can land on the shore, but there are thousands of infantry cavalry stationed there, no matter which pirate force is coming, you are not afraid! ”

Sun Chuanmou said that the sky was wild, and the head was the way, but the flag commander was uneasy when he heard it, and his heart was filled with some kind of bad feeling, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only respond resignedly: "Yes, the little one has gone down, continue to look at the surrounding waters and investigate the situation." ”

"Well, go down, remember, don't take an example, you can't break in casually."

The lookout departed, and only Sun Chuanmou and two maids were in the command boat. From time to time, Sun Chuanmou let out a hey smile, and a pair of big hands began to be dishonest, making the two maids very twisted, embarrassed, and unable to resist anything.

However, at this time, the deck of the command ship was in chaos, especially the generals of the Guangzhou Navy Division such as the captain, who were so anxious that they looked at the sky solemnly from time to time, and those Kong Ming lanterns of various colors slowly floated by, and the color of worry became more and more intense. With the experience of the lookouts, it was boring, and many generals knew each other very well, and no one went in again, especially when there were bursts of coquettish gasps from the command cabin, and they didn't dare to go in.

Not long after, Sun Chuanmou in the command cabin couldn't hold it back, his lower abdomen was full of heat, and he had just pressed a maid under him, still wearing armor, and was about to do some kind of shameful thing, when a loud voice came to mind, which seemed to be very hurried and panicked.

"Lord Admiral, the lookout asked for an audience, claiming that there was an urgent military situation, and a large number of pirate ships appeared in the southeast and northeast directions of the naval division."

Sun Chuanmou's little brother suddenly wilted, all his desires were extinguished by a basin of cold water, and he pushed the maid under him to the side, regardless of her low sobbing, he quickly lifted his pants and said coldly: "You two go down~!" ”

After a few breaths, Sun Chuanmou just tied his trouser belt, and shouted with a calm face: "Let the lookout soldiers come in..."

Soon, he was still so lookout, he lowered his head and walked in quickly, and as soon as he knelt down, Sun Chuanmou asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on outside?" How far are the two pirates found from the sailors? How many warships and pirates were there? ”

For a while, Sun Chuanmou's repeated questions made the lookout a little speechless, but he still reacted quickly, and hurriedly reported truthfully: "Lord Qiqi, as soon as the little one found the pirate's warship, he immediately got off the mast and came to report, and the specific information is not known yet. At this time, standing on the deck, you should be able to see it with a telescope. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Chuanmou was not a stupid person, so he immediately stood up and walked out of the cabin, just dropping a word, and the lookout also stood up and followed.

"Alright, you can get up too, and go out with me to have a look." (To be continued.) )
