Chapter Ninety-Three: Encountering the Enemy

As night fell, the sky was full of stars, and the fleet slowed down, but it didn't stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just after dinner, Jiang Hexing looked at the torches lit on the fleet, constantly changing the signal, and sighed in his heart, Chen Gang has worked hard in the past few years.

Besides, this is to save people, and if you go a day earlier, you can save a lot of lives.

Li Bin and Zhou Ren had already returned to the cabin, Jiang Hexing looked at the stars in the sky, smelled the wet sea breeze, and was disturbed.

The more I think about the extent of the flood in the Yellow River, how many people have been affected, and how to deal with it, the more questions I have. Thoughts drift away with the waves of the sea.

Although the river line was worried, the fleet still rode the wind and waves, heading towards the mouth of Jishui, day and night.

After another day of walking, it was midnight, Jiang Hexing had not yet slept, he stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the starry sky.

The others on the boat didn't understand that Jiang Hexing loved to look at the stars so much, as if he had never seen them.

Jiang Hexing is inconvenient to explain to everyone, he has not seen too much of such a pure sky.

The sound of footsteps sounded on the boatboard, Jiang Hexing turned his head to look, and took advantage of the light to see clearly, Chen Gang walked towards the river.

Jiang Hexing said: "Chen Gang, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Gang said: "We are not far from the mouth of Jishui, I want to ask Xia He Wang, where will our fleet stop at that time?" ”

Jiang Hexing smiled bitterly, the rescue plan was really a bit rushed, a lot of things that should have been done were not done, and there was no plan for where to stop.

Jiang Hexing asked: "If there is no supply, how long can the food brought on the ship be eaten?" ”

Chen Gang smiled and said: "Hewang, the food we bring can last for half a year, but if we bring refugees at that time, I estimate that it will be gone in a month." ”

"Since there is a lot of food on the ship, it is estimated that the refugees will not have much else at that time, so we will bring more people. The first group was sent to Phoenix Island, where we had our food stock. It is estimated that after a while, the grain from Xianwu City will be able to reach Quanzhou, and we will start to send people to Quanzhou Yongnu in the second batch, anyway, there is the most shortage of people there now. "Jiang Hexing planned the return stop first, mainly for Chen Gang to count the food.

Chen Gang then asked: "Look at where our ship docks to pick up people, it is estimated that it will take a long time to pick up people." I have a suggestion, we will dock the ship in Junozawa, which is a radius of several hundred miles, and our fleet will be placed in it, even if the movement is bigger, no one will find out. ”

Jiang Hexing agreed, and said to Chen Gang: "Okay, let's dock at Juyeze, you go and inform the fleet, and make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Chen Gang was preparing to return to the cabin and arrange various tasks. Suddenly, Chen Gang shouted, "Hewang, what do you think it is?" ”

Jiang Hexing turned his head and looked into the sea, the lights were lit, and they kept beating on the sea, watching the fleet.

Jiang Hexing smiled and said, "Chen Gang, you sailors have practiced for so long, and you haven't fought before, right?" ”

Chen Gang jumped up violently and said, "Hewang, are you saying that our opportunity has come?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Look at the lights on the sea, I don't think they are necessarily good people, I also see how you usually practice?" But try not to hurt people, scare and scare. Wait until someone is arrested, and I'll see who is so bold that he dares to sail on the sea in the middle of the night. ”

Chen Gang didn't expect Jiang Hexing to actually give a combat order, how many years the water division has been established, it has always been to help people send food to people. He practiced every day, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, but he never had a combat order.

When Ma Yuan joined the army, Chen Gang was already the regiment commander and was still his own soldier. Now, Ma Yuan has commanded the Pingzhou army and horses, and has fought in the Huns Quartet, and he has no task of fighting since he went to Phoenix Island.

Looking at this and this and that and that and so on, can Chen Gang not be in a hurry?

Chen Gang is still calm, he doesn't dare to show it at all, he is still training conscientiously, he knows that his position in the heart of Jiang Hexing is far more than the weight of an army, because this water division spends a lot of money, catching up with the expenses of three armies.

Today's opportunity came, Chen Gang could finally show it in front of Jiang Hexing, although it was at night, he still couldn't suppress his excitement.

Chen Gang wanted to jump up happily, trotting and humming a little song back to the cabin.

Jiang Hexing looked at a few fires in the distance, getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the shouting could still be heard in the distance.

At this moment, the drums were beating loudly on the boat where Jiang Hexing was going, and groups of soldiers ran out of the cabin, one by one holding torches, and the deck was as bright as day.

One ship lit up, two lit up, and the entire deck of the fleet was covered with soldiers, torches in hand.

The fleet suddenly picked up speed, and the distance between ships grew.

The flotilla had marched in a straight line, but now it had taken on the shape of a crescent, with the middle of the crescent moon facing the lights of the seashore.

Those few lights were approaching the fleet, maybe they noticed something abnormal, and began to turn around and run out, only to see those lights flickering on the surface of the sea, no longer as leisurely as just now.

They seemed to be running, but how could they be the opponent of this galleon.

The lights were getting closer and closer, and the fleet had quickly changed from a crescent moon shape to a huge circle, and in the middle of the gap were exactly those lights.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and under the lights of those few trees, there are several ships. That's a big ship, but compared to the warships in Pingzhou, they can only be counted as small boats.

The flotilla formed a complete circle, and suddenly, a few ships in front of them flew out of flames, heading towards the small boats in the middle.

The flames of the flames drew bright lights in the sky, rushing directly around the boat in the middle.

There was a loud "knock knock" sound, one after another, and the water columns on the sea rose into the sky, the fire shone in the sky, and bursts of mushroom-like black clouds rose around the boat.

The boats stopped, crying, and after a while, the thunderbolts on the fleet ceased to fire.

The circle of the fleet became smaller and smaller, and the boat was tightly encircled, and three warships rushed out of the line and pounced on the boat.

After a busy night's work, the east showed the white of the fish's belly, and a sailboat came towards the flagship of the river.

After a while, the two boats were close together, someone took the gangplank, and some soldiers on the warship carried a group of people to the flagship of the river line.

After a while, the ship left.

Jiang Hexing looked at these people tied up on the deck, although they were tied, they could see that they were all strong men. Most of them have long hair and are wet.

There were 22 people in total, and there was a man in the middle, but he was neatly dressed. He was not tall, but though he was sturdy in his binding, he was dressed in red satin, like a fire, and had a golden hairpin on his head.

Jiang Hexing looked at it, and the person in the middle was actually a woman, about fifty years old, although she was thin, her eyes were very clear, and she was looking up at Jiang Hexing. (To be continued.) )
