The most important thing is that although no one said it, Mu Chonglan also knew very well that Xiao Xiantang really didn't need her help in the matter of naval warfare, and even when she was at sea, Xiao Xiantang had to make some concessions in order to take care of her, such as enclosing the surrounding sea area and letting her wave in a safe circle or something.

This kind of thing sounds like a thing to be happy about, after all, it is a good thing to have someone who thinks so much about himself.

But in fact, the price of having such a person thinking about himself is that what could have been solved as soon as possible is forced to be completed very slowly, causing a large number of casualties, and this is the price.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, I don't want to stay here alone." Mu Chonglan opened her mouth and said, she didn't feel much before, after the relationship with Xiao Xiantang eased and the two became real husband and wife, she realized how terrible it was, even if the two of them didn't do anything, just lying on a bed, the feeling was different.

The other half of the bed was suddenly empty, and naturally I was not used to it.

Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan and saw that she was very persistent, so he could only nod: "Since that's the case, then come along." ”

"Okay." Mu Chonglan nodded, and then followed.

The county government of Longtong County is still some distance from the coast, so when Xiao Xiantang and Mu Chonglan arrived at the beach, the naval battle was already inextricable, so Xiao Xiantang and Mu Chonglan asked Zhao Yongkang, who was guarding the shore and was in charge of supply, to ask what the current situation was.

Zhao Yongkang briefly explained to Xiao Xiantang and Mu Chonglan the process of the naval battle just now.

It turned out that the so-called maritime merchant ship was not a real maritime merchant ship, but a reconnaissance ship sent by them, in order to find out how many men and horses were arranged around Longtong County on the side of the state capital, so that it would be convenient for them to fight.

Let people pretend to be maritime merchants, and they were chased out of the sea by their navy, and it looks pretty good, as if it was really like they drove the maritime merchant out, but the state capital is obviously not a fool, so after the "maritime merchant ship" was chased out by them, they immediately set their eyes on the "maritime merchant ship", and finally in line with the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one", they began to attack the "maritime merchant ship", and then it changed from the "chasing and killing" of the "maritime merchant ship" by the navy to a chaotic war between the three parties.

The "maritime merchant ships" that were "hunted down" by the navy were already very "panicked", and suddenly there was an additional warship on the state capital's side of the pursuit and killing, so from the beginning of "escape", to the end they were really fleeing in the wilderness.

Moreover, because the "maritime merchant ship" is only a merchant ship, although there is some protection on the hull, it is only some ordinary protection, which cannot be compared with the warship at all, plus the artillery is expensive, and it is already very remarkable that the average merchant ship can be equipped with one, and there are often few artillery shells, mainly to bluff people.

Therefore, the "maritime merchant ships" were soon bombed into chaos by the warships on the side of the state capital, and the deck was also filled with thick smoke, which shows that the "maritime merchant ships" were not lightly damaged.

"General Shao, if we are like this, will the ship be sunk?"

The captain of the "Maritime Merchant Ship" was a vice admiral in the Dinghai Navy, named Shao Ruiguang, and the people under him were his subordinates, who also followed him at this time to disguise themselves as maritime merchants.

Shao Ruiguang saw that his subordinates were so worried, so he comforted: "Don't worry, the generals behind will definitely help us contain the state capital, and we don't mess with the stitches ourselves." ”

In fact, Shao Ruiguang felt that they were not very bad, because they were now smooth sailing, with the help of the wind after sailing, and the merchant ships in the sea were originally much lighter than the warships, so when they ran, the warships of the state capital might not be able to catch up with them, not to mention, there was also the Dinghai Navy to contain them behind.

Hearing Shao Ruiguang say this, the subordinate was still frowning, and he didn't seem to be relieved.

And at this time, there were a few more cannon sounds, and the hull of the maritime merchant ship where Shao Ruiguang and them were also shaking violently, and several soldiers on the deck disguised as ordinary maritime merchants were thrown high and flew high because of the attack of artillery shells, and then fell down with a scream.

Without wearing protective armor, the soldiers at this time were bombed like this, and the losses were not heavy.

"General Shao, the bottom of the ship began to seep water, it seems that there are several leaks, we came out this time, and only brought out a boatman who knows how to repair the hull, and now this situation is obviously not repaired in time." A gray-faced soldier who had been blown up hurriedly ran over and reported it.

When Shao Ruiguang heard this, he clenched his fists, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, first prepare all the spare ships on the ship, and if you really want to sink the ship, evacuate in time." ”

"Yes." The disgraced soldier answered, and went down to prepare.

Shao Ruiguang sighed secretly after seeing the grizzled soldier leave, before he came, Yan Hongxin told him that their main task was to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and find out how many people the state government had sent to keep an eye on them, and now looking at the situation, they didn't know if they could complete the task, maybe before they could complete the task, they should crash into the reef and sink the ship.

Suddenly, Shao Ruiguang had an idea, and then said to the subordinates beside him: "Quick, go get the map, I want to see the map." ”

The subordinates were a little puzzled, they didn't know what map Shao Ruiguang wanted to see, and the current situation was not a good time to look at the map.

However, the confusion in his heart was confused, and the subordinate still obeyed Shao Ruiguang's order and went to get the map back.

Shao Ruiguang looked at the terrain on the map, and suddenly had an idea, and then pointed to a place and said, "Quick, go tell the helmsman to drive here." ”

The subordinate glanced at the direction Shao Ruiguang pointed, and now it was a reef area, so he tightened his brows and asked puzzledly: "General Shao, this is a reef area, do we really want to go over?" ”

He thought to himself that this reef was very steep, and it was not comparable to other places at all, so if they sailed into the current maritime merchant ship, they might not be able to get out.

Shao Ruiguang saw that his subordinates were still hesitating, so he said to him: "Don't think too much, pass the order, all go to this position, as long as we can lead the warships from the state capital to this position, we will win." ”

When the subordinates heard Shao Ruiguang's words, they carefully looked at the reef on the map, thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Shao Ruiguang's intentions.
