Chapter 622: Riding the Waves
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly thought about the imperial expedition here, but here in Jiangxi, the confrontation between the two sides has reached a stalemate.
King Ning's ship had already arrived on the second day, and more than a thousand soldiers plus seven hundred Yin Divine Guards surrounded King Ning and the others to board the ship. King Ning has nearly a hundred large ships, which can fully accommodate 10,000 people, but now he has more than 1,000 people under his hands, even if he adds the 700 Yin Divine Guards, he can't get together 2,000 people.
Therefore, this also caused his ship to look empty and very deserted. Because there are few people, the ship seems to have little weight, and when the wind and waves blow, they sway back and forth. Zhu Haochen was also frightened by the seasickness on the Yangtze River last time, so he ordered people to connect all the ships with chains after entering Poyang Lake, connecting all the ships as one, so that the ships would be stable.
Since ancient times, it seems that many people like to connect ships in series, so that the board of the ship is stable. Usually, though, they don't end well, and end up being burned by an enemy fire.
Let's take the Three Kingdoms as an example, in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's fleet was burned clean by Zhou Yu. A little closer, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought against Poyang Lake, at the beginning, Chen Youliang's family background was harder than Lao Zhu, but he didn't die and played a boat, and finally was burned down by a fire, and he was shot with an arrow and lost his life.
Chen Youliang This is understandable, although before this, the history of the Three Kingdoms was also somewhat famous, but it has not reached the point where women and children know about it, and it is purely normal not to know the lesson of burning Chibi. However, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong wrote a book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which completely made the history of the Three Kingdoms popular, and even the eunuch culture in the palace loved to read this book, not to mention the market. Now this King Ning still wants to use this chain of boats, isn't this his own death.
Zhu Zhengyang waited until he naturally died and admonished King Ning not to do this. As soon as someone said this, King Ning also woke up a little, and was waiting for someone to withdraw the ship.
"Lord Wang, it's just a chain ship, with me waiting, naturally you don't have to worry about the enemy's fire attack. Mr. Bai stopped King Ning, he was not worried about the enemy using fire, with the skills of his men, he was completely sure that he would solve the trouble before the enemy set fire. On the contrary, if this boat can be connected, everyone can be more comfortable, and there is no need to worry about the waves.
"Haha, since Mr. Bai has said so, then I will naturally rest assured. Zhu Haochen laughed, looking trusting, but in fact, he was more jealous of this person. After all, most of the power on this ship is in the hands of Mr. Bai, and once Mr. Bai turns against them, he and the others will not have any way to live.
Nearly 100 large ships were connected together, and immediately occupied most of the lake, which was mighty and imposing. There were also some merchant ships on the river, and when they saw this, they turned their bows one after another, so as not to suffer unwarranted disasters.
Zhu Haochen stood on the bow of the boat, and the oncoming river breeze blew the corners of his clothes, which actually gave birth to a bit of pride in his heart, and the downturn of the previous few days was also swept away.
The boats traveled on Poyang Lake for an hour, but not a single enemy ship was seen, and only the vast lake water was in sight.
"Wang Shouren's gang is short of boats, and they definitely don't dare to come on the water. This has entered Poyang Lake, how can he have the courage to compete with us. Seeing that there was no trace of Wang Shouren's army for a long time, King Ning's heart increased in boldness, and he couldn't help but say loudly.
Most of the ships in Jiangxi are in the hands of King Ning, and Wang Shouren can only get together more than 30 ships, which is not King Ning's opponent at all.
Hearing King Ning's words, Mr. Bai didn't speak, but just sneered slightly. Wang Shouren didn't care about it, the most important thing was that the god, if he made waves, it would be difficult.
As he was thinking this, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a small black dot above the water in the distance. With his eyesight, he could vaguely see that it was a human form.
"Yin Shenwei, be on guard!" Mr. Bai shouted as soon as his hands grabbed the side of the ship, and the Yin Shenwei on each ship quickly gathered together.
"White ...... Mr. Bai, what's going on?" Zhu Zhengyang's heart on the side immediately hung in his heart, could it be that Wang Shouren's army was coming? However, there was obviously no one around the world.
"The enemy is coming, be careful. Mr. Bai said in a deep voice, his eyes still looking into the distance as he spoke.
Zhu Haochen and Zhu Zhengyang also followed his gaze, their eyesight was not as good as Mr. Bai, they only saw a vast wave of smoke, where was there something?
However, after about a cup of tea, they saw a black dot appear in their field of vision, vaguely visible, as if it were a person.
When they saw this black spot, the first reaction of several people was that their eyes were spent. This is Poyang Lake, and it's not a stream, how can someone appear on the water, and there is not even a boat under your feet.
When they got closer, they were shocked to find that it was not that they had seen it wrong, but that it was indeed another person standing on the water. The man walked with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely above the waves. The continuous lake water was trampled under his feet, and he did not even soak the upper of the other party's shoes.
"How is this possible!" Zhu Haochen only looked dumbfounded, the scene in front of him was like a myth to him. How can a person step on water, could it be that this person is the river god here?
"Xu ...... Xu Xufeng?"What is even more surprising than Zhu Haochen is Zhu Zhengyang. He knew Xu Xufeng, but he didn't expect to meet Xu Xufeng under such circumstances.
"What? Do you know him?" Zhu Haochen glanced at Zhu Zhengyang a little strangely, this person in front of him was actually an old acquaintance from his family history? However, when it came to the name Xu Xufeng, he seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Lord Wang, have you forgotten? It was this one who saved me from the monster in the first place, and the position of his thousand households was also canonized by you. Zhu Zhengyang hurriedly explained to Zhu Haochen.
"Yes...... But...... How could he walk on water......" Zhu Haochen remembered this, but he never imagined that a thousand households under him would have such power.
Zhu Zhengyang also shook his head, his head was also confused, you ask me, I ask who to go.
And just as the two of them were talking, Fang Hong had already walked not far away.
