Section 41 Xiahou Tian's eyelids have been beating wildly for the past few days, but he hasn't paid much attention to it. Ever since Fei'er fell out with herself, she has been bored with nothing to do. The last time I went to redeem Li Zhong, I finally had a chance, but I was looked at by the Jiangnan side, and I didn't even see Lei Fei'er once. Thinking of this, the roots of his teeth almost crushed.

Damn Wu Ming'er.

"Lord Xiahou, come and help." It was Wang Zhiqing who shouted. Although this black tower-like man is sometimes a little timid, he does have two brushes, and the whole set of water warfare theories can be said to be well-cooked and impeccable. Since serving as the governor of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Southern Expeditionary Naval Army camp in Hanshui has been well organized in the past few months. Looking at the soldiers who were shouting their trumpets neatly on the boat, a wave of admiration rose in his heart.

Wang Zhiqing was directing several craftsmen to string the last boats with iron chains. In line with the principle of easy first and then difficult, the last few ships left are also the largest, these boats are more than ten zhang long, so the iron chain used is also the thickest, and it is extremely difficult to fix. Hearing Wang Zhiqing call him, Xiahou Tian put away his worries, ran over and squatted down, and stabilized the iron stakes on the boat. Wang Zhiqing lifted the big hammer, spit out the saliva and wiped it in the palm of his hand, nodded at Xiahou Tian and said, "Brother Xiahou, can you help it?" ”

Looking at Xiahou Tian, who still had a little bit of a heart, Wang Zhiqing didn't have a taste in his heart. Although he is the nominal governor of the navy, there are too many people in charge of affairs, and Taiwei Li, Governor Xiahou and other northern officials, whoever comes to reprimand him must listen obediently. There are also these sons of the family who went south with them, and they must also be treated with care. A few days ago, Li Zhong actually borrowed a boat to go fishing on the river, and he scared himself half to death at that time, but fortunately, Xiahou Tian rushed to stop Li Zhong when he heard the news. Otherwise, if you really let the uncle run out again, no matter what happens or not, once it is known by Taiwei Li, I am afraid that I will have to shed my skin if I don't die.

After this incident, the two gradually became acquainted. Both sides are interested in getting to know each other, and after a few days, they have already called each other brothers.

Hearing this, Xiahou Tian let out an "ah", straightened his hands and held the iron stake steady, nodded and said, "Come on." Wang Zhiqing's right leg was tense, and his left leg was bent into a bow. He rounded the sledgehammer, exhaled, and slammed it into the iron stake. His strength was great, and the big hammer was in his hand, but it was as easy as a child's plaything, and the iron stake was deeply embedded in the boat gang without a few blows. Xia Houtian stood up, as if he was still a little uneasy, and shook vigorously.

Wang Zhiqing said with a smile: "Brother Xiahou, you should also be careful. Rest assured, this pile is very deep into the wood, even if it is the sea breeze, it may not be able to blow off, let alone the river breeze. "This Xiahou Tian is really an outlier, he is serious and cautious, no wonder his father is full of praise every time he mentions it. said that he was the leader of our generation, and he was a little unimpressed at first, but now it seems that it is not without purpose.

Xiahou Tian still carefully inspected it, then stood up straight and said: "It's always right to be careful, these ships are so huge, they may be driven by the Taiwei Governor and others at that time, so naturally they can't be sloppy." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Zhiqing felt a little uneasy in his heart. The key to water warfare, the first wind direction, why? Because once you have the upper wind, the sail can be fully opened, and it will have enough maneuverability. When this is in the battle for dominance at sea, it often means that you have mastered the first move and advance and retreat freely. But now the lieutenant had all the ships joined together, so that the soldiers' suffering from turbulence was solved, but their mobility was lost. Although there is a difference between water battles and naval battles on the river, he still feels that it is very inappropriate to do so.

Forget it, don't want to. As soon as this strategy of chaining the ship came out, everyone praised Lord Taiwei, and if they tried to persuade them to the death, it would be a big disaster, and they didn't know how to lift it. The lieutenant didn't necessarily listen. He thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh softly, looking back at the Hanshui camp, the water village composed of large and small warships stood on the shore, the water village and the dry village stretched for more than two hundred miles, the flags fluttered and the drums shook the ground, and it looked like clouds covering the sky from a distance. Such a military appearance is like a momentum that swallows mountains and rivers.

Who else can match such a military situation?

Perhaps, I really think too much.

Then one of the soldiers shouted, "Governor, a small boat from the south has come alone." ”

Wang Zhiqing frowned and looked into the distance. It was late afternoon, the hottest time of the day. The river is sparkling and shining in the sun. Looking at the past, you can still see the flags of Nanning City in the distance, and on the big river, all kinds of boats come and go. A brisk boat was as fast as an arrow, breaking through the waters south of the Yangtze River and rushing straight towards its own water village. Wang Zhiqing was a little inexplicable, the two sides had been facing each other across the river for several months, although they had won and lost each other, but after the arrival of the Gulf Storm Army, Lord Taiwei ordered everyone to rely on the naval army Dazhai to strictly defend and concentrate on training. Although there has been a lot of friction in the past few days, they have organized these soldiers to try each other's hands. Could it be that the southerners have become so bold that they let people come to provoke? Seduce me and wait?

He said loudly: "No one is allowed to do anything, see what he does?" The archers are ready, and once there is a change, the arrows are waiting. ”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the clipper coming. Wait for the clipper to get closer. I saw that there were three people on the whole boat, and two of them were obviously veteran oarsmen, and the short oars in their hands were moving like flying on the boat, but the movements were uniform. There is also a person wearing a white tight-fitting suit and a bright yellow cloak. Standing on the bow of the boat, the river wind was strong, blowing his entire cloak high. It is even more extraordinary and heroic. The man in white suddenly shouted: "Wu Ming, the commander of the Eastern Han Guard Battalion, is here, and the rebels have the courage to come to receive the battle letter?" ”

Wang Zhiqing's heart sank, and he was about to open his mouth to answer. saw that Xiahou Tian's face was already pale, and he said loudly: "Archer, shoot me, shoot this kid to death." He was taken aback, a little puzzled by how the usually gentle Xiahou Tian could be so out of shape, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't move." ”

He turned his head to Xiahou Tian and said, "Brother Xiahou, this matter is too much to do, I think it's better to take the battle book and report it to Lord Taiwei for decision, do you think it's feasible?" Although he said politely, he still said loudly: "Go and personally take the battle book and send it to the captain for a look." ”

Wu Ming's name, that's like thunder. It is rumored that this person is a rare genius in a hundred years, and he was promoted to the middle of the eighth stage at a young age. He is currently a capable candidate to attack the realm of the Grandmaster, and it is rumored that he is extremely resourceful, leading the remaining thousands of remnants of the Southern Expedition all the way back to Nanning. If you say that the two biggest 'heroes' who caused the current divisive situation, one is the captain, and the other is the person who stands in the bow of the ship in the distance.

Wang Zhili didn't have the courage to face this killing god alone, in case he really came to lure the enemy. When the time comes, he will cut himself and leave, and then he will die as a naval commander. Do this yourself, one is safety. Second, send a small soldier to test the waters, and you can also humiliate the other party. When he was complacent about his thoughts, Wu Ming sneered, stared at this side and said loudly: "Lord Wang Zhiqing of the Long Wenle Lang Water Army is not only proficient in water warfare, but also a masterpiece in the world. When I saw it today, was it a turtle with a shrunken head? You are far worse than Wang Zhili. ”

Wang Zhili is Wang Zhiqing's cousin, and he is honest and loyal. During the southern expedition, he was agitated by Huaiying, a grain official under Tao Ziqian. led thousands of personal soldiers, and guarded Yujiawan with the old general Chen Jianfei, most of whom are now dead. Wu Ming is so excited, but he also responds to the situation.

Wang Zhiqing was immediately furious, Wang Zhili was recognized by the family. Wu Ming actually said that he was inferior to him, which was blatant contempt. He was about to answer. Xiahou Tian next to him turned his head, and said with a blue face: "Brother Wang, would you like to go with you to meet this arrogant boy?" ”

This was to be put in place just now, and he might have to hesitate a little. But now the anger in his heart is rising, and he replied without thinking: "Okay, this kid is really rude, let's go together to take over this war book, we can't weaken our northern reputation." After he finished speaking, he seemed to regret it a little, and hurriedly said to all the ** around him: "Everyone is ready to bow and arrow, and if the enemy makes any abnormal move, he will immediately release the arrows, whether he is dead or alive." ”

He said very loudly, and when he looked up, he saw that Wu Ming was just standing on the bow of the boat, his face was still expressionless, as if covered with a layer of skin, and he didn't know if he heard it. I couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, but now that I was riding a tiger, I had to take this battle book. He gritted his teeth and said, "The boat is coming." ”

Suddenly, a clipper boat came under the big boat, and the two jumped into the small boat. He went up to the clipper that Wu Ming had erected. All the soldiers around suddenly let out a burst of colorful sounds, perhaps in their opinion, Wu Ming was indeed too rampant, but his main general was not afraid, and this courage was indeed admirable.

When the two clippers approached, Wu Ming smiled and said, "Don't come unharmed, Prince Xiahou, it seems that your demeanor is still the same, and your majesty is undiminished." Next time I go to Nanning, I have to inform the kid that I must prepare a little wine and entertain the son. As he spoke, he held the battle book given to him by Zhu Huai in both hands and handed it to Xiahou Tian.

Xiahou Tian stretched out his hand to take the battle book, and sneered in his mouth: "Wu Mingxiao'er, I'm afraid that the next time I arrive in Nanning, you will already be a prisoner of the stairs." Wu Ming smiled slightly and said: "Prince Xiahou, the kid is in Nanning, waiting for you every day." How can you be like a fierce woman, in vain, this seems to tarnish your reputation.

Xiahou Tian was stunned, and his heart was excited. Secretly said: "This kid is right, it seems that he is indeed too emotional." He thought about it, took a strong breath, and said lightly: "Lord Wu is right, you wait, I will give the battle book to your lord." Give you an answer. ”

With that, the clipper slowly turned around and headed back. Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers and tsunami cheers from all around. In the midst of the sound of color, Wu Ming stood on the bow of the boat, squinting his eyes and looking around. The scorching sun is like fire, and the entire water village seems to be burning. I saw that the ships were connected by chains, and they were nailed together with thick planks, and men stood on them as if they were walking on the ground. At a glance, the water camp of the Northern Han Dynasty stretched for hundreds of miles, covering the sky under the sun, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.
