Chapter 126: The Turmoil of the He Clan (8)

Under the cover of twilight, Yanpu's fleet quietly approached the island of Guam like a hungry wolf pounced on its prey.

When He Shibao was assembling troops in Jinzhou, the keen Huang secret agents transmitted the news back to Jinzhou. After Huang Yongtao learned the news, he was so excited that he didn't sleep for a night. Civil strife is about to break out in the He Clan, and this is a golden opportunity for him to weaken the He Clan.

Huang Yongtao's purpose is very simple, to take advantage of this He civil strife to get involved in the affairs of the He family, and it would be great if he could support a new head of the He family to be the puppet of the Huang family. However, this idea is very unrealistic, if Huang Yongtao wants to support a He family head as a puppet of the Huang family, the Qin army will not agree, and the court will not sit idly by. The imperial court will not watch the Huang clan dominate. The imperial court controlled Liaodong with the help of the Huang people, but it never wanted the Huang people to become bigger.

Moreover, Huang Yongtao couldn't find a puppet candidate for him, and none of the few people in the He clan who hoped to become the head of the family would be willing to be the puppet of the Huang clan. This is one of the most critical reasons.

In view of this, Huang Yongtao could only retreat and use this civil strife to weaken the strength of the He people. If after this civil strife, the He people have been in a slump since then, Huang Yongtao is willing to be this-stirring stick. It doesn't matter if it's famous. Fame is false, only real profit is the most real.

It was under Huang Yongtao's idea that Yan Pu was ordered to go to Yunguam again.

At this moment, Yan Pu didn't know that on the island opposite him, Yun Guam, which he regarded as his prey. The defenders of the island had already noticed him as an uninvited guest.

"Sure enough, as the general expected, the Huang Clan Water Camp really came." Ke Dinghai looked coldly at the blurred dark shadow in the night.

The movement of the Lu division from Jinzhou is too big, and it will inevitably alarm Peng Chaodong, the He family is the anti-Liao force that Peng Chaodong is trying to strive for, and Peng Chaodong will not sit idly by and watch the Huang clan interfere in the affairs of the He clan. The Qin army entered Jinzhou as a guest army, and the Qin army, as the strongest army in the world, could not be compared to the strength of the Huang clan? After the Qin army entered Jinzhou, there was a great tendency to seize the dominance, and the Qin army and the Huang private soldiers had constant friction in Jinzhou. Huang Yongtao and Peng Chaodong are also very dirty.

The Huang Water Battalion, as an independent water division of the Huang Clan, is much more convenient to act than the Lu Division, and the action of the Water Division can conceal from Peng Chaodong, even if Peng Chaodong knows that Huang Yongtao used the Water Division to put pressure on the He Clan, Peng Chaodong can only condemn Huang Yongtao on his lips, the Qin Army has no Water Division, and it is impossible to stop Huang Yongtao from dispatching the Water Division to attack the He Nationality.

"Not to mention that there are twenty or thirty warships, all of which are big ships of more than five hundred materials, Huang Yongtao can afford to look at us." Wan Ming was holding a cylinder in his hand, through the cylinder, Wan Ming could clearly see the enemy ships in the distance, and even Yan Pu's stiffness on the building boat could be seen clearly, "The telescope that the general gave us is really (he) (mother) is very useful, it is a sharp weapon in naval warfare!" ”

Wan Ming sighed in admiration while looking through the cylinder in his hand that He Tengxiao called a telescope.

It took He Tengxiao a month or two to figure out this cylinder, the principle of the telescope is relatively simple, and He Tengxiao still has a rough image in his mind. It's just that the grinding is troublesome, He Tengxiao can't devote a lot of time to the production of the telescope, and the specific grinding process can only be handed over to the craftsmen on Yunguam Island to slowly figure it out by themselves, and what He Tengxiao can do is to give these craftsmen some theoretical guidance.

He Tengxiao now only has five telescopes in his hands that are still monocular, and he kept one for himself, Ling Feng and Zhang Yuyang each gave one to him, and the remaining two were given to Ke Dinghai and Wan Ming, two sailors.

"When the enemy ship is only one mile away from Yunguam Island, the two lighthouses will project all the light on the enemy ship, and it is best to project it directly on the enemy flagship, with the light as the signal, after the light is projected on the enemy ship, all the artillery bed crossbows will be fired at the enemy ship." Ke Dinghai gave the order.

He Tengxiao made a bloody investment on Yunguan Island, and the number of artillery bed crossbows on Yunguan Island was even more than that of Pingshan Fort. Cloud Guam is now a fortress armed to the teeth.

"My lord, our army is less than two miles away from Yunguam Island, and there is no movement in Yunguam Island." The sailors who observed Yun Guam reported the situation on Yun Guan Island to Yan Pu.

Yan Pu nodded, only said and continued to observe, his attention staying on Yunguan Island not far away.

Yunguam was still silent, and there was nothing unusual to see, except for the light from the two lighthouses, it was not much different from the other islands.

Yan Pu didn't know much about his opponent He Tengxiao, in his opinion, He Tengxiao was a completely unreasonable and cunning opponent, and he had to play twelve points of spirit when he met such an opponent, and he couldn't slack off for a moment.

Yan Pu has already suffered a loss from He Tengxiao, and he doesn't want to suffer a second loss.

"My lord, the artillery bed crossbows are ready to stop, do you want to fire at Yun Guam Island?" Lawson inspected the ship's artillery bed crossbow and returned to Yanmp's side to report back to Yanpu.

Because the artillery has not been around for a long time, the manufacturing process of artillery is not very mature, and there is a risk of exploding the chamber with artillery, etc., the popularity rate of artillery is not very high.

There is a risk of blowing up the chamber with a cannon, the sailors spare their lives, and the officers feel sorry for the ship. Unless it was a last resort, the artillery of this era was less lethal, but the loud sounds and fireworks produced when the guns were fired were more intimidating to the enemy than bed crossbows.

"Wait." Yan Pu shook his head, "The lethality of more than a mile is limited, and the distance of about a mile from Yunguam Island will be fired." ”

Most of the bed crossbows equipped on the ship are small and medium-sized bed crossbows that are lightweight and easy to disassemble and install, and the range and power are not as large as those used to defend the city. Shortening the distance, the small weakness of the lethality of the small and medium-sized bed crossbow.

"Do you use artillery?" Rosen asked Yan Pudao.

"Yes!" Yan Pu gritted his teeth, "All the artillery is used!" ”

Rosen's body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was more afraid of using artillery. However, Yan Pu had already given orders, and he must obey the orders of the officials.

Cloud Guam, on the lighthouse.

"The enemy ship is already a mile away from our island." Ke Dinghai raised the thumb of his right hand, compared it, and roughly visually measured the distance between Yan Pu's Huang Clan Water Camp and Yunguam Island.

Ke Dinghai's eyes were fixed on the warship of the Huang Clan's water camp a mile away, and watched as the warship of the Huang Clan's water camp slowly approached Yunguan Island.

The gunners' crossbowmen on the island of Yunguam were already lurking in all corners of the island, their eyes falling on the two lighthouses, waiting for them to shoot beams at the enemy ships.

Throwing a beam of light at enemy ships is a signal for them to open fire. (To be continued.) )
