Chapter 257: Meet Again
"I'm sorry, my lord, we are just following the orders of the state and county, and we are here to check if there are any pirates smuggling boats into the country, which has disturbed your lordship, please forgive me. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The general's momentum softened suddenly, and he bowed his head and said to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran didn't embarrass him, although these people had a much lower official rank than himself, but the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and it was better not to be too swaggering on other people's territory.
"Are you still checking?" Lin Ran said.
"No, no." The partial general hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The battleship behind, hurry up, let it go!"
"Eh, wait a minute." Lin Ran said to him: "It just so happens that our ship has been traveling for more than a day, and we need to go ashore to rest and buy a little food and water, and you can arrange a place for us to moor the boat." ”
'Your Excellency wants to rest in Jiangxia City?' The partial general was a little embarrassed, "There are a lot of places where Jiangxia City is moored, but they are all managed by the army, and without the permission of Lord Huang Zu, I have no right to take the fleet in." “
"You take us to General Huang Zu first, and I'll tell him about this matter." Lin Ran said.
"Good. Lord Huang Zu should be training the fleet in the water village in the east of the city at this moment, and I will take you over immediately. “
Let the ships of the Little White Water Army wait in place now, Lin Ran took Xue Min and He Man, and slowly came to the water village on the periphery of Jiangxia City on the boat of the Jingzhou Water Army.
Jiangxia City, is an important waterway hub and military important place in the middle of Jingzhou, which controls Jiangxia, retreats through Jiangxia to control most of Jingzhou, and can radiate its influence to other river basins in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through Jiangxia's waterway, and its geographical location can be described as unique.
Therefore, after Liu Biao took control of Jingzhou, he spent a lot of effort to establish a large and well-equipped naval army in Jiangxia City, and appointed Huang Zu, a famous general of the naval army, as the commander in charge of the training and combat tasks of this naval army.
Similarly, because of the unique geographical conditions of Jiangxia City, many players have come to Jiangxia City, there are countless players inside and outside the city, and there are quite a lot of villages, and there are also many villages that are established along the Yangtze River and Tuchuan outside Jiangxia City, and have begun to vigorously develop water transportation and water army.
Entering the water village of Jiangxia City, Lin Ran could be regarded as an eye-opener, in the water village of the Jingzhou Navy Army, at this time, there were patches of warships arranged very neatly - these warships, the lowest level, were all walking, most of the ships were surrounded by fighting ships, and even some more ingenious designs and more powerful Hazy Rush battleships could be seen not far away!
The entire body of these hazy battleships was painted in vermilion, and inside the hull of the Gundam, a lot of weapons were placed, and Lin Ran could see that there were at least several powerful one-armed crossbows in them just by using the naked eye.
This kind of crossbow is not a single weapon commonly equipped by players in Xiaobai Village, it already belongs to a siege weapon, a crossbow arm more than one meter wide, it needs at least three people to manipulate it to reluctantly use, and the arrows used are not ordinary crossbow arrows, but special arrows with a shape and length like a short spear, which is powerful enough to easily penetrate the bed of a fighting ship, causing huge damage to the hull and personnel on the ship.
Looking at these cold and powerful warships, Lin Ran deeply felt that although Xiaobai Village's naval army is now in a leading position among many players, there is still a lot of room for development, especially compared to the fleets of these NPCs, in fact, they are not fart, and they are not vulnerable at all.
What he saw and heard this time also made Lin Ran even more determined, he must improve the strength of the Xiaobai Alliance's naval army as soon as possible, and having a truly powerful naval army is the best way to be invincible in the Jiangnan region with the Yangtze River moat.
The partial general went in first to pass the word, and it didn't take long for Lin Ran to see a tall and majestic general coming over with a few guards.
"In Xiajiang Xia Taishou, from Wupinlou ship general Huang Zu, meet the general." Huang Zu bowed politely to Lin Ran, and Lin Ran also returned the salute.
"I wonder what your lordship is doing this time?" Huang Zu asked.
"There's nothing, just passing by, by the way, come and visit General Huang."
"Haha, that's a great honor. These days, I have long heard about the deeds of General Xiaobai, who performed many miraculous feats when quelling the Yellow Turban Uprising, and is also the youngest Wupin general in my Han Dynasty, and his future is unlimited. Huang Zu's somewhat embarrassed tone carried a hint of envy.
Lin Ran nodded, he naturally knew what Huang Zu was envious, when the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in Jingzhou, the battles were mainly concentrated in the Wancheng area in the north of Jingzhou, and they were all battles on land, and the naval army commanded by Huang Zu couldn't even be of any use at all, so after the Yellow Turban Uprising ended, Huang Zu didn't get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he was still in his previous official position.
"Hey, let's not talk about it, drink. Today, since Xiaobai, you have come to my Jiangxia City, I naturally want to talk about the friendship of the landlord. Huang Zu was very bold and pulled Lin Ran towards Jiangxia City.
"By the way, the fleet I brought this time is still outside the water village."
With a wave of his hand, Huang Zu ordered several of his subordinates to drive the warship to the riverside and bring in the sailors of the Xiaobai Alliance to rest.
When Lin Ran and Huang Zu walked past a naval warship, they suddenly found a familiar figure busy on a fighting ship.
Lin Ran took a closer look and recognized it at once, isn't this Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief?
Gan Ning has already taken refuge in Liu Biao and Huang Zu?
Lin Ran pointed at Gan Ning and asked Huang Zu, "Who is this general?" ”
Huang Zu glanced at Gan Ning and asked, "General Xiaobai, do you know him?" ”
Lin Ran nodded and said with a smile: "It's an old acquaintance, I knew each other before the Yellow Turban Uprising." ”
"I heard that this Gan Ning used to be a water thief, but later became the county of Shu County, and only recently took refuge in me, and served as a lieutenant under me."
"Captain?" Lin Ran shook his head secretly, this lieutenant official position belongs to the level of middle and lower-level officers in the army, and it is even worse than the partial general and the general Pi, Huang Zu actually arranged such a position for Gan Ning, an NPC history-level fierce general, no wonder the historical Gan Ning was leaving Jingzhou to join the Sun family of Eastern Wu.
Lin Ran could also guess some of Huang Zu's thoughts, Huang Zu was born in a big family, so he naturally wouldn't look down on Gan Ning, who was born as a water thief, let alone reuse him. (To be continued.) )
