Chapter 479: Grab the War Horse at Sea
Chapter 479: Grab the War Horse at Sea
"Another enemy ship is coming?"
Huang Shijun was quite surprised,
It seems that the sea transportation of Tartar is very frequent! There are so many supplies to be transported to Dengzhou City by sea, and the Tiger Ben Army Navy is stopped here, if you don't get a piece of the pie, wouldn't you be sorry for the Tartars?
"Pull in!"
.
With the experience of dealing with the Tartars just now, the slightest nervousness in the hearts of some sailors has all dissipated. Legend has it that the Tartars are very ferocious and are not afraid of death. But judging from the previous battles, the Tartars are not terrible at all! In fact, the Tartar is on the ship, which is indeed not good. It's good to be able to stand firm. With a little tossing, they'll get seasick. Maybe they're a bit scary on land, but they're soft-footed crabs on the ocean.
The Cangshan ship turned around and rushed directly to the north. Soon, a large fortune ship appeared in Huang Shijun's clairvoyant mirror. This is a No. 3 fortune ship, which is several times larger than the small Cangshan ship. The speed of the No. 3 Fu ship does not seem to be fast, it should be full of supplies. Due to the distance, it is difficult to see the details for the time being.
"Woooooo
Ling Sishao on the mast suddenly blew the conch.
The sound of the conch represented that their ship was in danger, and everyone immediately became vigilant.
"It's the Tartar fleet!"
"There are three of them!"
A moment later, Ling Sishao's voice came down.
Huang Shijun and Wang Chenglin hurriedly moved the clairvoyant mirror and carefully searched the sea. Sure enough, behind the No. 3 fortune boat, two more fortune ships appeared. In this way, on the northern sea, a total of three fortune ships slowly appeared.
"No cannons!"
Ling Sishao shouted quickly.
Without cannons, it would be a pure transport ship.
It is also strange to say that Huang Shijun and the others encountered all the transport ships, except for the Tartars who escorted the ships, there was no other armament at all. Not a single cannon. In the eyes of the Tiger Ben Navy, these transport ships are completely fish belly! Just wait for the arrival of the Tiger Army Navy and be slaughtered!
However, in Huang Shijun's view, such a thing is not strange at all. It would be strange if they had encountered a Tartar gunboat. The Tartars have just taken control of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and of course they will not let the gunboats run around, what if they can't control it? Besides, there is no enemy at all in this section of the sea, so why should the Tartars use gunboats to come out and cruise around? Who would have thought that the Tiger Ben Navy would come from so far away to loot?
Even the genius of Dolgon would never have thought of this! As for Dodor, it was even more unthinkable. The only potential enemy they could think of was the Tianjin Naval Division. However, for the Tianjin Sailors, it was not the Tartars who were arrogant, but they really gave the Tianjin Sailors a few dares, and they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke the Tartars.
The Tianjin Navy Division itself did not have a few warships capable of real war. For the foundation of the Tianjin Water Division, Huang Shijun is the clearest. There is no need for more warships, only the three fleets of the Huben Navy that are currently on a mission can completely destroy the Tianjin Naval Division.
To the east of this sea, there is also a North Korean sailor. It was the troops brought out by Yi Sunsin at the beginning. After Yi Sunsin's death, the scale of the Korean naval division was still relatively large. There are also several legendary turtle ships. However, North Korea is now a vassal state of Daejin and an allied army, and the Korean sailors will not come to make trouble.
"Good stuff!"
"Good stuff!"
"Good stuff!"
Ling Sishao suddenly shouted excitedly.
In order to be able to see more clearly, his whole person stood on the top of the mast. At that time, there were no safety belts, watchtowers, buckets or anything like the top of the mast, and they relied purely on personal effort to stand on top of the crossbar. If it falls, it will definitely fall into a ball of meat sauce. The mast of the Cangshan ship, although not particularly high, is more than ten meters long.
Wang Chenglin said curiously: "Fourth, what is a good thing?" ”
While observing the movement of the enemy ship, Ling Sishao repeatedly shouted, "Good thing! Great stuff! Great stuff! ”
Wang Chenglin's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but scold: "What kind of good thing? You say! ”
Ling Sishao carefully observed for a moment before he said with certainty: "It's a war horse!" It's a war horse! On the deck, there are dense war horses! ”
"War Horse!"
Huang Shijun and Wang Chenglin were shocked.
The Tartars were transported, and they were actually war horses?
Damn, it's going to be developed this time!
"That's right, it's a war horse!"
"There are so many horses on deck!"
"See for yourselves! Many, many horses! ”
Ling Sishao's voice was so excited that it seemed to burst out.
As soon as Huang Shijun and the others heard this, their blood immediately boiled, and they hurriedly stood on tiptoe, held up a clairvoyant mirror, opened their eyes wide, and carefully observed the movements of the enemy ships. If it is really a war horse, they are really developed. Even if the number of war horses is small, it is much more valuable than a boatload of arrows and sundries just now. What's more, Ling Sishao also said that there were "a lot of war horses".
"It's really a war horse!"
"It's really a war horse!"
A moment later, Huang Shijun and Wang Chenglin both shouted in surprise at the same time.
It turned out that they all saw clearly at the same time that there were indeed a large number of war horses on the decks of those Tartar ships. These horses were fenced off with a temporary fence. It is impossible to estimate the number of horses, at least a dozen. Perhaps, there is still a cabin below. If there were any horses in the cabin below, a Tartar ship might have twenty or thirty horses.
It's developed!
This time it's really developed!
"We are developed!"
Wang Chenglin shouted out unabashedly.
What is the Tiger Army lacking the most now? War Horse is definitely one of them!
If it's ordinary supplies, the Tiger Ben Army is really not too rare. The Tartars' weapons and armor are not needed by the Tiger Army. Even if it is seized, it will be sent back to the furnace in the end. Some don't even have much value in reheating. For example, those 100,000 arrows, even if the Tiger Ben Army captures them, they are of no use.
Only this war horse is what the Tiger Army needs most! There are no horses in Shandong, and the Tiger Army cannot raise war horses by itself, so they must loot or buy them from outside. However, whether it is Liaodong or the Mongolian steppe, it is quite far from the Tiger Army. It is not easy for the Tiger Army to loot or buy. snatched two thousand war horses from Zhu Dadian's hands, Zhang Zhun was already too excited.
Unexpectedly, the Tartars would actually use ships to transport war horses...... Hehe, this is total nonsense...... Liaodong and Dengzhou City face each other across the sea, and of course it is impossible for the Tartars to come on horseback. Their horses had to be transported by boat. According to the number of a Tartar and a war horse, it is said that there are thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City, that is, there are thousands of war horses that need to be transported...... If you can snatch all these horses...... Huang Shijun and Wang Chenglin couldn't help but rub their palms vigorously.
Such a good thing is really not easy to come across.
Thousands of horses! With thousands of war horses, the Tiger Ben Army can form a cavalry of several thousand people! Even if you go face to face with the Tartar, you won't be at a disadvantage! Of course, it is not easy to snatch all these thousands of war horses. Of course, the Tartars knew what it would mean if these horses fell into the hands of the Tiger Army, and they would definitely resist desperately.
Huang Shijun made up his mind almost without thinking about it, and he must snatch all these war horses. It's rare to encounter such a good thing, and if you don't do a lot of work, it's absolutely sorry for the Tartar who delivered it to your door! The Tiger Ben Army came around Huangcheng Island this time, and the harvest was indeed too rich. In less than half a day, two Tartar transport ships were intercepted in succession.
"The brothers of the Shengxia Sect, come here!"
"Let's discuss how to snatch all the Tartar horses!"
Huang Shijun rubbed his hands vigorously and shouted excitedly.
With so many war horses right in front of you, it seems to be at your fingertips. But Huang Shijun quickly calmed down. He found that it would take a little skill to snatch the horses intact. Since there are so many horses on the Tartar ship, there may be a large number of Tartars as well. This means that he will have to change the way he fights. If he kept firing guns, the Tartars would have been killed, and the horses would probably have all been killed. Therefore, other ways must be considered.
Huang Shijun decided to brainstorm and work together. Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and they will definitely find the best solution to the problem. To do this, it is natural to rely on the brothers of the Shengxia Sect. Zhang Zhun had a rule that when encountering major problems, the military commander should fully listen to the opinions of the soldiers, especially the members of the Shengxia Sect.
Soon, except for Ling Sishao, who continued to observe the enemy situation on the mast, the other members of the Shengxia Sect all gathered under the mast. Ling Sishao was on the mast, and he could also hear the people in the meeting below, so he was also in the meeting.
On top of each Cangshan ship, there were twenty-five sailors. According to the regulations, more than 20% of sailors must generally be members of the Shengxia Sect. On Huang Shijun's boat, there were six members of the Shengxia Sect. On the side of the Marine Corps, the proportion of members of the Shengxia Sect is higher than that of sailors. Gao Yu, Zhang Yin, and the other two backbone warriors are also members of the Shengxia Sect. Everyone gathered together, a total of ten people.
The leader of the Shengxiazong group is not Huang Shijun, not Ling Sishao, not Wang Chenglin, but Han Xuezhong, known as Old Han Tou. Old Han Tou is just an ordinary sailor, responsible for the maintenance of the steering wheel, and does not have any official position himself. However, he is old, honest and reliable, generous to others, and has been in the Shengxia Sect for a long time, so he has become the leader of the group.
After the personnel arrived, Huang Shijun said a little impatiently: "Old Han, let me say it first?" ”
Old Han said with a smile: "You say it first." ”
Huang Shijun nodded, clenched his fist vigorously, and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll say it first." We all know that the army is very short of horses, and we have been trying to increase the number of war horses in the army. Now, there are a lot of war horses on the enemy ship. I suggest that we not only annihilate all these Tartars, but also snatch as many horses as possible. Three Tartar ships, estimated to have hundreds of war horses. If we get all of them, the results will definitely be not small, and our contribution to the army will not be less. ”
Old Han said with a smile: "I agree." The Governor lacked nothing but horses. ”
Gao Yu thought about it and said, "That...... You can't just shoot the cannon, otherwise you'll kill all the horses. ”
Zhang Yin also said: "You can't fire a cannon." Otherwise, your grapeshot bullets, chain bullets, will fall in one go, and all horses will be destroyed. ”
Wang Chenglin said a little worriedly: "We don't open fire...... It's not a big problem, the point is, can you twelve people solve the Tartars on the ship? ”
Gao Yu and Zhang Yin glanced at each other, and they both felt a little embarrassed. Their numbers were so small, only a twelve. Dealing with one ship of Tartars is not a big problem, but dealing with three ships of Tartars at the same time is a bit too busy. If the distance is close, the arrows of the Tartar are still more powerful.
Zhang Yin shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Three ships, it's a bit difficult. ”
Old Han Tou interjected with a smile: "There are three ships in Tartar, and we don't have more than one ship!" ”
Wang Chenglin nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, we also have a large number of companions in the nearby sea. As long as we can have two helpers, we can eat all the Tartar boats. ”
Gao Yu said with certainty: "If we deal with a ship, we will have no problem." ”
Zhang Yin also said affirmatively: "A ship, no problem!" ”
Huang Shijun nodded and said, "In this case, let's find a way to entangle the Tartar ship, try to buy time, and let other warships rush over." If the warships around us heard the sound of cannons, they should rush over to help. ”
Gao Yu said with some worry: "If the Tartar ship escapes separately......"
Huang Shijun frowned. He only had one ship, and it would be a bit of trouble if the three Tartars escaped separately. A Cangshan ship can't be divided into three parts, right? At most, you can catch a Tartar ship. When one of the Tartar ships came back, the other two Tartar ships must have disappeared without a trace.
The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little troublesome. As long as the Tartar is not stupid, he will definitely find a way to escape after being attacked. There are obviously three Tartar ships, and it would be a pity if only one was caught. War horses, war horses, everyone wants to snatch all the war horses. It would be a shame to let two Tartar ships escape.
At this time, the old Han Tou spoke with a smile again: "I have a suggestion, you think it is feasible or not." Have you driven the flock? When the sheep are herded, they all move from the outside and drive the sheep into the sheepfold. Our sheepfold is near Huangcheng Island. Therefore, we are going to drive the Tartar warship in the direction of Huangcheng Island. ”
