Chapter 75: Be prepared

Seeing that there was a hands-on posture on the other side, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, took out a super powerful loudspeaker, turned on the switch in his hand and said to Geng Zhongming: "Is General Geng Zhongming on the other side?" ”

The sound was so loud that it spread with a tailwind on the sea, and it could be transmitted a full mile away, and all the soldiers on the opposite side, including Geng Zhongming himself, heard it.

Geng Zhongming withdrew the hand that was about to give the order just now, looked at Zhu Changyuan and frowned slightly, and asked the general who had followed Huang Taiji to attack Zhu Changyuan: "General Jin, do you know what he is holding, why do you speak so loudly?" You can hear it from so far away! ”

General Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know, don't be afraid, the prince didn't have to be afraid, he also took out this thing when he was in Da Linghe, but it can only improve his voice, and it has no other function." ”

"That's good, we don't have to pay attention to him!" Geng Zhongming really wanted to answer Zhu Changyuan opposite, this kind of debate before the war or something, if he got the upper hand, he could also improve the morale of the army, but unfortunately, his voice was not enough to reach so far away.

Geng Zhongming, who was about to attack as soon as possible just now, suddenly hesitated, not that he thought that he was inferior to Zhu Changyu in naval warfare, on the contrary, he was extremely experienced in naval warfare, and he could have despised the enemy.

But now it's different, before Huang Taiji's attack on Jinzhou was tight, he had already transferred seven or eight out of ten troops to Phi Dao as a pawn. There are less than 2,000 sailors left on the island, and if they win a battle, it is better to say, in case Zhu Changyuan is making something weird, he will be forced to stop.

After General Jin's detailed explanation last night, while Geng Zhongming despised Zhu Changyuan's lack of experience in naval warfare, he was also quite afraid of those unknown things, such as the concrete city wall, such as the iron net that could make people die instantly.

"Lord Wang, what about us?" General Jin asked Geng Zhongming for advice.

Geng Zhongming shook his head, waved his hand and said, "They are upwind to us in the downwind direction, don't take the initiative to attack first, let's see their movements." ”

In naval warfare, it is common sense that headwinds are equal to disadvantages. The downwind side can not only advance quickly, but also set fire to the wind if the opportunity is good.

"General Geng used to be an old subordinate of General Mao, a powerful general, who guarded the border, opened up territory, and ran an important town on the Dongjiang River for our Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a high level of hard work. I don't know why these Tartars were lowered, are you born to like to be a minion? Zhu Changyuan was unhurried, and said it word by word, and Geng Zhongming's old face suddenly turned red after hearing it.

"Lao Tzu was forced to ...... helplessly" As soon as he said a few words, the sound dissipated as soon as the wind blew, and Mo said that it spread to Zhu Changyuan, who was a mile away, even if it was a subordinate ten zhang away from his side, he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Phew!" Geng Zhongming also had a hard time, he had rebelled in the Ming Dynasty at that time, there was no turning back, and there was nowhere to go if he didn't surrender, but these are obviously not suitable for explanation in this case.

Zhu Changyuan said it, and he felt that it was not interesting, and the enemy was not affected at all, so he put away the horn and said to Yan Hong beside him: "You are familiar with the situation on the island, where should we land from?" ”

Yan Hong said: "The terrain on this island is flat, it doesn't matter where it is better to land, as long as we defeat these sailors on the opposite side, we can come and go freely, if we avoid the enemy and want to forcibly attack the island, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort." ”

Nodding, he glanced at Geng Zhongming, who was blowing his beard and glaring angrily, and looked at the pirates under his command, Zhu Changyuan said: "There are a lot of people on the other side, and there are so many ships dispatched at one time, and they can't be eliminated for a while." ”

"Hmm." Yan Hong estimated it and said, "Judging from the size of the warship, there are about two thousand people. It is said that there are 10,000 people stationed on Phi Island, although it is an exaggeration, there should be at least 6,000 people, that is, there are at least 4,000 people on the island, so it is not easy for us to attack the island directly. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Changyuan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the purpose of this time is just to test the truth and consume these Fusang devils by the way." He looked left and right on the sea again, and said, "Why didn't you see the shadow of Zheng He's treasure ship?" ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two Zheng He treasure ships, and I don't know if they were left by Zheng He when he sailed, one had been turned into ashes in Zhu Changyuan's hands, and the other was defended on Phi Island, but the sea was calm, and there was no shadow of the treasure ship around, and Zhu Changyuan was a little disappointed.

Another purpose of this visit is to see if we can take advantage of the situation to destroy this treasure ship and reduce the enemy's major killing weapon.

"The general doesn't need to look at it, it's midsummer, the southeast monsoon is rampant, the treasure ship is too large to fight against the wind, and it is easy to be destroyed by fire, it should be hidden by these Tartars on the north side of the island." Yan Hong analyzed it, and his tone was not very sure.

Zhu Changyuan had a spectrum in his heart, looked at Ma Hai and Li San, and said: "Otherwise, you take a motorboat to detour to the west, and then quietly sneak into the treasure ship to see the situation, and if you have the opportunity, cut two holes in it for me." ”

If you can't take the enemy's things, you will destroy them for him, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

Ma Hai and Li San left from the bottom of the big boat in a small motorboat, first avoiding Geng Zhongming's ears and eyes and driving south, then turning west, walking a distance and then heading north, making a big circle and then speeding eastward, which is the north of Phi Dao.

In order to prevent the journey from going too far, in addition to carrying a portable gasoline saw, the two also brought a full 50 or 60 liters of gasoline for supplies along the way, in addition, each brought a set of diving suits, an oxygen tank, and a walkie-talkie.

Yan Hong watched the two leave, pointed to Zhu Changyuan's big ship Geng Zhongming, and wanted to repeat the old tricks, and said: "The general asked me to go down and scuttle their ship, although Geng Zhongming, this old boy, has rich experience in naval warfare, he may not be able to withstand our two blows." ”

Zhu Changyuan was a little hesitant, after all, it was Geng Zhongming who was on the other side, not those brainless pirates before, not a rabble. But in the end, he agreed to Yan Hong's suggestion and said, "Okay, come back as soon as you can't do anything." ”

Yan Hong chose a skinny Fusang devil to follow him, and Zhu Changyuan told the guy how to use the gasoline saw back and forth before letting the two leave.

Yan Hong drove out of the motorboat, split the waves all the way, and sped away in the direction of Geng Zhongming's big boat.

Geng Zhongming was shocked on the big boat, and after seeing the speeding motorboat, he almost pointed with trembling fingers: "This is it, this is it, Zhu Changyuan was able to kill pirates last time, and it was this thing that he relied on." Hahahaha, Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan, you don't know if you kill me. ”
