Chapter 57: The Heart of Covetousness
Hearing the alarm bell, the sailors on the boat quickened their paddle speed, and the boat no longer drove slowly and leisurely, but flew like an arrow off the string of an arrow to Yunguam.
After stepping ashore, He Tengxiao arched his hand at He Shihu and said solemnly: "This bell is an early warning before the enemy attack, please go up to the pier to see what is going on." ”
After that, He Tengxiao didn't even know how to climb the pier platform of Yunguam Island. He Shihu did not complain about He Tengxiao's rudeness, the situation was urgent, if he accompanied He Fangxiong, he would also take into account the enemy situation first. He Shihu was not very familiar with Yun Guam Island, so he followed He Tengxiao to the pier of Yun Guam Island.
The pier platform is built on the highest hill in Yunguam Island, and on the pier platform, you can see everything in Yunguam Island and even the surrounding miles of Yunguam Island.
He Tengxiao leaned on the wall buttress on the pier platform and looked at the wharf on the east shore of Yunguan Island, where more than a dozen ships were moored that had not yet had time to unload. The ship's panic jumped out of the boat and ran to the dock to run for their lives. The soldiers on the docks did their best to maintain order on the docks.
On the sea a mile away from the wharf, more than a dozen warships Yang Fan swooped down on the wharf of Yunguam Island with great pride.
"Is this a wolf?" He Shihu frowned and asked as he looked at the dozen or so warships that pounced on Yunguam Island.
"It's not a wolf." He Tengxiao shook his head and said, "It's the water camp of the Huang clan." ”
As the warship approached, the flag hoisted on the warship gradually became clear, and He Tengxiao vaguely recognized the words embroidered on the flag - yellow.
"It seems that the Huang family still covets Yun Guam Island. With such a formation, I'm afraid it's just to deter our He family. He Shihu sneered.
The Huang family had the intention to meddle in the He family's housework, which made He Shihu deeply hateful. But the Huang family has the most powerful water camp in Liaodong, while the He family does not have a decent water camp in Gaizhou, Fuzhou, or Jinzhou. The sea surface of Liaodong is the world of the Huang people's water camp.
The He family has the intention of building a water battalion after the Huang family, but the northern soldiers are not accustomed to water warfare, and it is difficult to recruit excellent water soldiers. The Huangjia Water Camp is a water camp established by the Mingzhou soldiers of Yan Pu, a general of Mingzhou who degraded Jinzhou, and most of the soldiers of the water camp are from Mingzhou, Zhejiang, and are familiar with water, which is the experience that the He family can not replicate in building a water camp. In the end, the He family had to give up, and until now the He family has not had a decent water camp.
"I'm afraid that these broken ships can't deter us, at most they can be a temptation." He Tengxiao smiled.
"Counselor-sama, Senhe-sama." Zhang Yuyang learned that He Shihu and He Tengxiao had come to Yunguam Island, and went up to the platform to give a military salute to the two of them, and said, "The water camp of the Huang clan, our warships have all been anchored and left the port. ”
He Tengxiao nodded, and He Shihu thought to himself: A spy told him that He Tengxiao had purchased five warships, and the warships that Zhang Yuyang was referring to were these five warships?
Zhang Yuyang had been a staff member in He Shihu's shogunate for a period of time, and he was a little embarrassed to see He Shihu again, so he turned sideways and stood beside He Tengxiao without looking at He Shihu.
Of course, He Shihu is not the kind of person who is cautious, he didn't care too much about Zhang Yuyang, and only paid attention to the six warships that set sail on the dock of Yunguam Island, and wondered in his heart: The spies reported to him that He Tengxiao had only purchased five ships, and where did the extra ship come from?
"Sure enough, it's them!" In the fleet of the Huang Jiashui camp, Yan Pu saw the sea falcon warship that they had been captured by the "Japanese Invaders" on Yunguan Island, and slammed a row of boats, and said hatefully.
"Array, line up, and block them at the dock!" Yan Pu waved his hand and ordered.
Occasional short drum beats rang out on the boat, but there was a long interval between them. The clouds are light and the sky is blue, and the visibility on the sea is very high, this kind of weather Yan Pu can completely use the flag to give orders, but his trip is to deter Yun Guam, and the drum order is more imposing, so he chooses to give orders with drums.
Ke Dinghai was born in Jinling Sailor, and he naturally knew what the order was issued by this drum beat. The tight drum beats are short and long, which is an order for all ships to line up with the building ship as the center.
Ke Dinghai ordered the flag soldiers to come to the stage and give orders, and the warships of the Yunguam fleet marched in a semicircular formation, and the building ship that Ke Dinghai was riding bore the brunt and rushed to the front of the fleet.
Ke Dinghai's sailors are all the elite of the Jinling Sailors, and the speed of changing teams is very fast. The speed of change in the ranks of the Cloud Guam fleet was beyond Yan Pu's expectations.
Yan Pu was originally a general from the sailor, in Mingzhou because of the disadvantage of the suppression of the Japanese was demoted to Jinzhou, after arriving in Jinzhou was appreciated by Huang Yongtao, has been for Huang Yongtao to run the water camp, knows the sailor well, he is confident that there is no general in Liaodong who is more proficient in the sailor than him.
The Yunguam fleet changed formation, showing its quality, which was even tougher than the Huang Clan Water Battalion he had trained single-handedly. It is impossible for the new pawns to complete the formation change in such a short time, aren't these sailors the new pawns recruited by the He family in Liaodong? If it wasn't for the He family, where did they recruit the water pawns?
"General, the enemy ships are speeding towards us, are you slowing down?" Zuo Huancheng, a thousand households in the Huang Nationality Water Camp, climbed upstairs and asked Yan Pu to show him.
The number of warships in the Huang Clan Water Camp was twice that of the Yunguam fleet, and the size of the warships was larger than that of the Yunguam fleet. Zuo Huancheng couldn't figure out where the Yun Guam fleet got the courage to dare to rush to his Huang water camp. Take the building ship under his feet as an example, this building ship is the largest flagship of the Huang Clan's water camp, and it is a large ship of more than 2,000 stones, which is more than three times the size of the building ship of the Yunguam fleet. In front of the building boat on Yunguam Island, the building boat of the Huang Clan Water Camp is simply a behemoth.
"Accelerate!" Yan Pu's expression was grim and unmoved, the purpose of his trip to Yun Guam Island was not only to check the He family's defense in Yun Guam Island, but also to deter the He family. He wants to lead the Huang Clan Water Camp to warn the He family that the ocean in Liaodong is the world of the Huang Clan's Water Camp! At this critical moment, he must not order a slowdown. The soldiers and civilians on Yunguan Island are watching, if they slow down at this critical moment, how can the Huang Clan Water Camp play a role in deterring the He family?
"Big brother, there is no slowing down on the other side, are we slowing down the boat?" On the building of the Yunguam fleet, the sailor Deng Yu asked Ke Dinghai if he would slow down. Ke Dinghai treated his subordinates like brothers and sisters when he served in the Jinling Naval Division, and the sailors under his command called Ke Dinghai the eldest brother on weekdays and in wartime, not Baihu.
"Accelerate!" Ke Dinghai resolutely gave an order, "Tell the brothers, we have to prove to He Qianhu that there is no waste in the soldiers under my Ke Dinghai!" They are all iron-clad men, and they can't be looked down upon! ”
Although He Tengxiao promised to take in Ke Dinghai, Wan Ming and the soldiers under them, He Tengxiao's last sentence of not taking in waste weighed on Ke Dinghai's heart like a stone. Ke Dinghai is a very strong person, he can tolerate no way, and he has made many achievements but has not been promoted for several years, but he must not tolerate others looking down on him and his soldiers. From the moment He Tengxiao said that sentence, Ke Dinghai secretly decided to prove it to He Tengxiao, and the soldiers of tigers and wolves under his hands were by no means the waste that He Tengxiao said!
And in front of him, there is an excellent opportunity to prove it, how can he back down! Only the backbone and courage rushed over! Make the other party frightened! Prove yourself!
The two fleets were getting closer and closer, and both accelerated towards each other.
