Chapter 198: War Arises
Cheng Yousheng was a little unsure, glanced at Niu Liang and the others, and promised: "Yes, in my opinion, just capture the remaining three of the sailor warships, and let the officers and soldiers of the sailor control all the warships in advance, so as not to have an accident at that time." ”
In a blink of an eye, the three of Niu Liang were all disapproving, and when they saw this scene, Cheng Yousheng became down-to-earth.
Zhuang Yingchang hurriedly stopped: "It's not good, at this critical moment, if there is an accident, the gain outweighs the loss." Why don't you wait patiently, wait for Kong Youde's rebellious troops to capture Dengzhou City, as long as the situation is chaotic, Lord Haiphong Daowang will definitely mobilize the remaining officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division to defend the city, and then the officers and soldiers of the Flood Battalion of the Prefecture can calmly control the remaining warships of the Sailor Division. ”
Feng Jian rubbed his forehead, he has been spending the past few days in tension and anxiety, whether the rebels will capture Dengzhou City as they remember, this is related to whether he can get the Dengzhou Navy Warship, look at his bloodshot eyes, you can know that he must not have slept well these days!
In my memory, tonight is the time when the original Dongjiang soldiers inside and outside Dengzhou City echoed each other to capture Dengzhou City, can this moment in history happen as scheduled? He wasn't sure in his heart that the waiting process was the most torturous.
Feng Jian closed his eyes and tried to calm down his anxious and excited mind, and after listening to Zhuang Yingchang's words, Feng Jian opened his bloodshot eyes and said, "Yes, the more critical the moment, the more you must stabilize your mind." ”
This seems to be said to Cheng Yousheng, and it seems to be alleviating his own anxiety.
Cheng Yousheng bowed his head and said: "Yes, what Lao Zhuang said makes sense!" ”
Niu Liang said: "Lord Feng, considering that the naval division station has continuously broken the ice with gunpowder, the huge earthquake caused by it will not only be known to everyone in Shuicheng, but even the Kong Youde rebels who captured Dengzhou City will also be alarmed. Once it is found that the battleship of the Denglai Navy Division is leaving, it will inevitably attack the water city with all its might. The defenders of Watercastle may not be able to defend with all their might, so they need to be prepared in advance. ”
Zhuang Yingchang said: "According to the behavior of Lord Wang Hui of Haiphong Dao. Once he learned that the sailor warship could sail away from the water city, he would definitely ignore everything else and immediately want to board the ship and leave. ”
Cheng Yousheng said disdainfully: "Don't ask about the indiscriminate and casual boarding, doesn't this Haiphong Dao Lord have no brains!" ”
Zhuang Yingchang twisted his chin and said with a smile: "Seeing that all the ships of the sailor can sail away from the water city, it is certain that there are doubts in my heart, but I am afraid that I will not have too many scruples at the moment of survival, and the life of the escape is important." ”
Feng Jian turned his gaze to Niu Liang and the three, although the three of them promised to help their side, but the three of them did not understand the entire ship-seizing plan. Niu Liang put forward the suggestion of taking precautions in advance at this time. It shows that he began to put himself in the shoes of the operation.
Feng Jian said to Niu Liang: "Once the ice-breaking operation begins, the warship will leave the dock berth, and the distance between the water and the land will be widened, at this time, even if Kong Youde's rebels capture Shuicheng, they can only stare dryly, the ice-breaking will indeed alarm everyone in Dengzhou, the most dangerous thing is the gap between the beginning of the ice-breaking and the warship leaving the dock, of course, the official has taken precautions, and the four hundred bird-gunned soldiers under the command of the official will be vigilant at any time, and the bird-gunned soldiers will not show mercy to those who come to harass." ”
Niu Liang asked, "Even if Lord Wang comes to stop him?" ”
Cheng Yousheng snorted. "That's inevitable, we can't go to great lengths to sail the warship away and let this Lord Wang take advantage of it."
Hearing Cheng Yousheng say this, Niu Liang's expression changed slightly. Zhan Yuan and Lan Zhengji, who were standing on the side, also showed a worried look, they had not been able to guess the purpose of this Pingdu Prefecture flood camp garrison who had gone to great lengths to save this fleet of sailors, and now listening to their conversation, it seemed that they wanted to keep all the ships for themselves. The appetite is really too great, and the three of them can't help but worry about their future!
The expressions of the three of them changed, and Feng Jian saw it in his eyes. Although the three of them were relieved, the Dengzhou Navy Division's warship escaped from the control of Kong Youde's rebels. The official will then play to the court and return all the warships to the court, and the court will not blame them, but will reward them. ”
Hearing Feng Jian say this, although Niu Liang and the three of them still had doubts, they could only follow the matter at this point.
The three of them secretly sent their families away a few days ago, and they had no worries when the war broke out, so they gradually put away their worries and began to think about how to properly evacuate Dengzhou Water City.
Feng Jian turned his gaze to Zhang Wentai and said: "Wentai, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Xun Battalion are ready to take over the warships at any time. ”
Zhang Wentai bowed down and began to describe his arrangement: "The subordinates have made a good distribution, and each warship is evenly distributed with forty people, all of which are led by veterans of the sailors, which is enough to sail the warship away from the water city, and it is even more labor-saving to take advantage of the wind at sea, the disadvantage is that there is no defense on the warship, but each warship is equipped with a group of artillery, and the artillery can be powerful when it is critical." ”
Feng Jian nodded and said: "The officers and men of the Zhou Xun Battalion control the warship, and all kinds of preparations for setting sail must be done sufficiently, and the sailing must not be delayed, but this officer would like to remind you that the officers and men of the Navy Division are sailing at night in such a harsh environment, and they must protect the safety of the ship itself!" ”
Zhuang Yingchang said: "Now the thickness of the ice on the surface of the water is about an inch, I don't know if the gunpowder bag can blow up the ice layer, if the ice layer is blown up, the surface of the water still retains a large piece of ice floe, it is possible to cause damage to the warship." ”
Feng Jian sighed: "Because the ice surface is very thick, the appearance of ice floe is inevitable, only the gunpowder bag is placed more densely, so that the size of the ice floe will not damage the hull of the warship." ”
The Earthquake Mountain Battalion's Bird Gun Soldier Station was brightly lit, and the remaining 400 Bird Gun soldiers received an order that all soldiers should be fully equipped and ready for major operations at any time.
Wan Youfa was the general manager of the 3000th Bird Gun Soldier of the 3000th Headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion, and after Ma Shan and Yang 80 left, he was temporarily appointed by the commander Feng Jian as the general manager of the 400 Bird Soldiers.
At this time, he was inspecting the temporary residence of the Bird Soldiers, it should be said that the 3,000 Bird Soldiers of the Headquarters had experienced a battle with the Daqingfeng Cavalry, and the tension and anxiety of the soldiers before the battle were greatly reduced.
In a dark hall is the focus of his inspection, I saw four soldiers of the guard battalion standing outside the hall with waist knives, and a few steps outside is a group of bird soldiers patrolling back and forth, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to approach this place, which shows that this place is very well defended.
If you really do daytime, you can see that the hall is filled with many gunpowder packs of almost the same size, all of which are sealed with oiled paper, and left on the outside is a long lead, which is also wrapped in oiled paper to prevent the lead from being doused with water.
After inspecting all the important places, Wan You returned to his barracks, and saw that the twenty bird-gunned soldiers who had made the gunpowder packs had arrived in his barracks.
Seeing Wan Youfa, twenty people stood up and saluted the march, and after returning the salute, Wan Youfa said directly: "I received the commander's military order, tonight Kong Youde's rebellious troops captured Dengzhou City, we must take advantage of the chaos and no one cares about it, and sail all the sailors' warships away from Shuicheng." You are the makers of the powder packs, and the commander has given you the task of opening the ice by the powder packs that explode tonight. ”
As he spoke, his voice suddenly became louder: "Can you complete the task?" ”
"Yes!"
The twenty people in the barracks replied in unison and loudly.
Wan Youfa nodded and said: "Before the action, Zhuang Yingchang, the head of the state flood camp, will personally arrange for you to take specific actions, do you have any other requirements?" ”
Twenty people shook their heads, how did the gunpowder packets be placed, how did they ignite, and what was the spacing? Asking these questions is tantamount to asking in vain, and he can't answer them. However, before the action, someone will explain it in detail. These twenty bird-stricken-knuckles knew it.
……
It was nearly three o'clock, and suddenly there was a burst of neighing horses from Dengzhou City, and the shouts of killing came far away in the silent night.
Everyone who has been staying in the cabin of Feng Jian suddenly changed from anxious to nervous and excited, the commander is really a god, Kong Youde's chaotic soldiers really attacked Dengzhou City tonight, and this shouting and killing was mixed with the cries and begging for mercy of ordinary people, that is to say, Kong Youde's chaotic soldiers have really attacked Dengzhou City!
Inspector Feng exhaled a long breath, this moment in history finally happened as scheduled, and he smiled and said to everyone: "It depends on what I do, now start acting according to the plan." ”
"Yes!"
Feng Jian continued to instruct: "Zhang Wentai, send people to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers on those warships; Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, and Lan Zhengji returned to their respective warships first, and if the Lord of the Coastal Defense Dao sent an order to ask the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division to go to the city wall to assist in the defense, delay as much as possible; Zhuang Yingchang immediately went to the garrison of the bird soldiers and arranged for the bird soldiers to break the ice with gunpowder bags, and the camera acted on the camera. ”
After Feng Jian finished a series of orders, he saw a few people leaving the cabin, a suppressed excitement was almost uncontrollable, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and he had been planning for a long time, and at this moment the fruits of this victory were close at hand.
Of course, there will be many difficulties in the process of picking fruits, and at this time, no one or anything can stop Feng Jian's determination to seize these 100 naval ships.
Cheng Yousheng on the side also couldn't hide his excitement, he followed Feng Jian all the year round to serve and do things, for some of Feng Jian's ways of doing things, the means of dealing with people in the world could not help but imitate, and he was deeply influenced by Feng Jian.
This time, he was one of the few participants in Dengzhou's plan to seize the Dengzhou Naval Division's warship from the beginning, because he followed Feng Jian all the year round, and Feng Jian was also at ease to use, and he directly let him do many things.
At this time, seeing that the action that took months to plan and pay hard was about to reap fruitful fruits, his excitement was no less than that of Feng Jian.
Feng Jian looked at the hard-working and resentful guard in front of him, and naturally did not say anything about his loyalty, more importantly, his way of acting is very similar to his own, both of them have a factor in their bones that dares to take risks at critical moments, according to Feng Jian's opinion, as long as he cultivates a little, Cheng Yousheng can be released to stand alone.
Thinking of this, Feng Jian suddenly felt moved, and asked: "Cheng Zi, seeing that these warships are at your fingertips, these warships are very important for the development of our Huluyan in the future, so we must choose a competent person to govern these warships, who do you think among us is suitable for this position." ”!!
