Chapter 470: Scheming

"That's it, that's it, one shot should be sunk, and there is no need for two shots."

"Not really."

"General Tang is powerful, whether it is the navy or the maritime merchant ships in front, they are not your opponents General Tang."

"That's right, that's right, that's it."

With the echo of one navy, the other naval lieutenants also followed suit, not so much that they were expressing their opinions, but that they were taking the opportunity to start praising Tang Rongxuan in various ways, so as to gain face in front of Tang Rongxuan.

For Tang Rongxuan, the adjutants of the navy are actually a little unsightly, but the strength behind Tang Rongxuan is the Tang family, so everyone is so flattering, that is, one day Tang Rongxuan can introduce them to the old man of the Tang family, if they can get the favor of the old man of the Tang family, are they worried about not being able to rise to the top?

"General, the area ahead seems to be a reef area, so it's better for us not to move on." An older adjutant spoke out of place.

Tang Rongxuan frowned: "Reef area? ”

"That's right, ahead is the reef sea area of Longtong County." The older adjutant spoke.

Tang Rongxuan frowned: "What about the reef area, is there anything wrong?"

"It's going to hit the rocks." The older lieutenant spoke.

When Tang Rongxuan heard that he had hit the rocks, he immediately frowned, and he was very disdainful of the words of this older adjutant who dared to speak out. "They all dare to go in, why don't we dare?"

"Their hull is relatively small, and there is no cargo, the hull is very light, and we are the opposite, moreover, our hull is very large, if we continue to move forward, the maritime merchant ship in front of us is about to pass smoothly, and the hull is relatively large and compared to us, it is easy to run into the reef, if we hit the rock, we will become very passive, so we better not do this."

The older lieutenant said earnestly, his analysis clear and straightforward.

Originally, he didn't really want to show this face, but if something really happened to their ship, then he couldn't escape the blame, so he wanted to stop the warship from continuing to pursue the maritime merchant ship led by Shao Ruiguang.

After all, although the maritime merchant ship led by Shao Ruiguang is right in front of them, it seems that it is easy to catch it, but it is as if they are playing tricks on the maritime merchant ship led by Shao Ruiguang, and the maritime merchant ship led by Shao Ruiguang seems to be deliberately waiting for them, obviously waiting for them, and wants to bring them here to hit the rocks.

However, it was a pity that Tang Rongxuan didn't think so, but felt that the older adjutant was a little alarmist, so he lowered his face gloomily and scared people with this kind of thing, so he ignored the words of the older adjutant, and ordered people to continue to keep up with the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang, determined to sink the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang.

Noticing Tang Rongxuan's attitude towards the maritime merchant ships led by Shao Ruiguang, the other people who originally echoed the words of the older adjutant also understood that Tang Rongxuan couldn't be persuaded at all, so no one continued to persuade him, but there were still some people who liked flattery and surrounded Tang Rongxuan, constantly praising Tang Rongxuan's wisdom and martial arts.

Tang Rongxuan was originally a person who liked to listen to people praise him, and when he heard everyone's "pursuit" for him, he was full of confidence at the moment, and at this time, the hull suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?" Tang Rongxuan said secretly, could it be that the navy was attacking their hull?

No, even if the navy's firepower causes a vibration, it can't be so loud, isn't it...... Then there must be reinforcements from the navy?

But, in any case, what kind of artillery fire can cause such a big shock?

Ordinary artillery shells, it seems that there is nothing to do, right?

Tang Rongxuan was full of confusion, and was about to send someone down to inquire to see what was going on, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a naval soldier shouted "report" while stumbling into the command cabin.

Tang Rongxuan looked at the naval soldier, folded his arms and asked, "Say." ”

When the naval soldier heard Tang Rongxuan's words, he said, "Back to the general's words, our ship has hit the rocks." ”

"Hit the rocks?" Tang Rongxuan's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"Yes, we're on the reef." The naval soldier, dutifully.

After getting the exact answer, Tang Rongxuan looked at the older adjutant just now with a dark face.

The older adjutant saw Tang Rongxuan looking at him at this time, and understood that he believed his words now, but he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he could only hint that he stood up and said a solution.

However, at this time, they have all hit the rocks, what is the point of talking about this?

The older adjutant thought helplessly, and then began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to look at Tang Rongxuan's hints, just bowing his head, looking at his nose, his nose was concerned, pretending that he didn't see anything and didn't say anything.

Next to the older adjutant was a younger middle-aged adjutant, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, and also understood why the older adjutant had such a reaction, so he said: "My lord, I think this matter, instead of saying anything else here, it is better to find a way to get out of here first." ”

Tang Rongxuan heard the middle-aged adjutant's words and cursed: "Nonsense." ”

Then he looked at the naval soldier who came to report and asked, "If you hit the rocks, can't you go?" ”

The naval soldiers just came to report, and when they saw Tang Rongxuan looking at him and asking this kind of thing, they immediately felt very stressed, so they cried and said: "Back to General Tang's words, after hitting the reef, there was a gap in the bottom of our ship, and now because there are too many gaps, there are a few gaps that cannot be repaired in a short time, so a group of shipwrights immediately went to repair them, and they couldn't repair them at all, so ......"

Therefore, be ready to abandon ship at any time, this is the subtext between the lines, but this naval soldier did not dare to say it directly, he was afraid that Tang Rongxuan would be angry with him because of this news.

Although Tang Rongxuan was arrogant, he was not stupid, and naturally understood what the naval soldiers meant, so he had a gloomy face and asked, "What is the reaction of the Dinghai Navy?" ”

Tang Rongxuan thought to himself, if the Ding Navy also came and ran aground like them, then everyone would be fighting hard, but if the Ding Navy did not come in, then it would mean that the Ding Navy knew what the maritime merchant ships in front of them had done, or rather, this was a trick, the purpose was to drive them closer to this reef belt.

If so, that's too bad.
