Chapter Forty-Nine: Ancient Warships Sail the Seas
To his surprise, the young man he had known for a long time was extremely prescient, and could even be said to be an unpredictable prophet.
In addition to the three thick iron sheets, he also took out professional ice-breaking tools such as long-handled awls and hammers, which directly made the arduous ice-breaking action a lot easier, and also greatly increased the speed of return.
Such a speed is naturally far from riding the wind and waves, and it can even be said to be very slow, but the entire fleet is also moving forward unswervingly, getting closer and closer to Juehua Island.
Huang Chongzhen has personally piloted nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and even spaceships that are still in a state of research, and this is the first time he has taken an ancient warship.
I can't help but have my blood and earnestly study the structure and driving skills of ancient Chinese warships.
Dozens of ancient warships, no matter the size of the ships or the size of the fleet, are not comparable to Zheng He when he went to the Western Ocean two hundred years ago, and the speed of the voyage can be called turtle speed, but it is enough to be regarded as mighty.
After all, what these big guys represent is the wisdom and craftsmanship of the Chinese ancestors.
It contains the principle of "Taoism and Nature", which seems to be contrary to Western biotechnology and industrial revolution, but in fact it is the same.
Huang Chongzhen stood on the deck, letting the biting sea breeze blow across his face and the ends of his hair.
After the arrival of Da Mingyin, he drove the sea ship Jumbo, galloped on the blue sea again, and even drove a fighter jet to soar in the blue sky for a better future, leisurely fascinated.
Instead of being afraid of entering the sea for the first time, Xiaobai and Da Xiong were so excited that they ran to the bow of the boat for a while, and ran to the stern for a while, and their mouths kept letting out a low roar, as if they thought that this cow could blow for a lifetime.
More than 1,000 sailors took turns to fight, fighting all night, until the day was about to dawn, Juehua Island was finally in the dark and vast sea, faintly in sight.
Huang Chongzhen looked at the outline of the island in the dark night, the incomparably tragic battle to defend the island in history was constantly stirring in his chest, even the fierce morning breeze on the sea could not blow it out.
Feeling the biting cold at dawn, Huang Chongzhen was very grateful to the sailors and soldiers of Juehua Island, who were able to rely on their enthusiasm and hard-working spirit to dig the ice and sail to Juehua.
After all, with such a low temperature and such ice, if it drags on for another day or even a night, then even if you want to rush to help Juehua, I am afraid that you can only look at the ice and sigh.
Thinking of this, Huang Chongzhen felt fortunate because of his persistence and decisiveness, and he was also full of hope for the upcoming Juehua Guard Battle.
Yao Fumin and Jin Guan, the guards of Juehua Island, worried about the whole cold night, and the sky was still only bright, so they once again organized the soldiers and civilians to start digging ice along the edge of the island.
However, they did not have professional ice digging tools, and the weather was too cold, so the ice that had just been chiseled was blown by the cold wind, and it was soon frozen again.
Standing on the high ground of the island these days, it is common to see the Jiannu scout cavalry riding on the ice, and approaching Juehua Island day by day.
Yao Fumin and Jin Guan were keenly aware that the crisis was approaching step by step, so they tried every means to prevent the sea from freezing.
Yao Fumin struggled to slash the iron sword that had been curled on the ice, until the blade forged from fine iron suddenly broke, then he angrily dropped the broken sword, knelt down and shouted angrily to the sky: "Do you want to kill my Juehua Island this day!" ”
It was at this time that there was a faint sound on the sea in the distance, and it was from far and near.
Although the speed of its progress seemed a little slow, the movement was not small, especially on the unhindered silent sea, and it was soon clearly caught in the ears of the two.
Yao Fumin and Jin Guan looked at it in shock, and the sea surface was unobstructed, and through the faint moonlight and the refraction of the ice on the sea surface, they could vaguely see shadows in the distance, and it seemed that many objects were slowly approaching, and some of them were extremely large.
"Is it Jiannu coming?" Yao Fumin suddenly felt a big mess and said in a daze.
"Impossible!"
However, the adjutant general Jin Guan was quite calm, and blurted out a denial: "If Jiannu wants to attack my Juehua, either a large group of cavalry will come suddenly, or if thousands of cavalry will ride on the ice." Even if the horse's hoof shroud is covered with a mouth, it will make a loud noise.
However, according to one observation, although the ice in the center of the sea is also thick, it is not enough to support the wanton crisscrossing of the cavalry. In addition, although Jiannu's cavalry is indeed strong, they have never galloped on the sea, so even if they attack, they are more likely to walk on thin ice than make such a loud noise.
However, this time the sound is completely different from the two, and it can be said that it is somewhere in between. And Brother Yao, if you take a closer look, the person who comes is not like a group of cavalry, but it is very much like a large-scale boat......"
Yao Fumin listened to his old friend's analysis, and quickly calmed down, got up and looked into the distance: "Who will it be?" ”
Jin Guan sighed bitterly, looked up to the sky and sighed softly: "It must be the dog who has returned!" ”
Yao Fumin looked at him and said, "Turning back overnight, is there any reinforcement or not?" ”
He actually knew Jin Guan's intention of sending his son to Ningyuan for help, although he was suspected of helping his son escape from the battle, but he thought of his beloved son, so he did not stop or break it.
However, now it seems that Jin Shilin has obviously wasted his father's hard work, but he is worthy of being a real man.
Jin Guan exhaled a long sigh of depression from the sky, and said in a sad voice: "According to the scout's report, the battle of Ningyuan was tragic and abnormal, and Yuan Shuai had no time to care about it at all.
Especially in yesterday's battle, although Jiannu was unable to bear the setback and temporarily withdrew, the defenders of Ningyuan also suffered heavy losses, even if they had the heart to rescue, they were afraid that they would not be able to do it! ”
"In this way, years of hard work and accumulation are about to be ruined!"
Yao Fumin also looked up to the sky and cried out, but his pessimism only lasted for a while, and then he raised his arms angrily and said: "Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run." In this case, it is better to fight up and give it a go.
Fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers! Brother, you have a good son who is brave and fearless! ”
"Shilin is not only a dog, but also a citizen of Juehua! Now that it's back! Then let's kill Jiannu together! Jin Guan also decisively abandoned his sadness, laughed and led his subordinates forward to meet him.
Yao Fumin also gave up the futile ice chiseling and led the rest of the soldiers to follow.
When the morning light was slightly dewed, Jin Guan and Jin Shilin, father and son, stood on the thick ice and the solid deck, and finally faced the harsh morning breeze and were able to look at each other in the air.
When Jin Shilin saw his father, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Dad! Yuan Shuai sent General Zhao to lead a large army to help! ”
"General Zhao? Which General Zhao? ”
"The army? And where did the army come from? ”
Yao Fumin and Jin Guan glanced at each other, and suddenly their hearts were shocked, and at the same time blurted out: "Zhao Shujiao!" ”
"Exactly! Qiantun has been goodbye for several years, Brother Yao, Brother Jin, the style is better than in the past! Hahaha! ”
As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh came from the boat, and then a figure that was not very tall and burly, but very resolute, appeared next to Jin Shilin, it was Zhao Shujiao.
Jin Shilin hurriedly bowed down and stepped back, and another young man with a wheat-colored face surrounded by Zhao Shujiao's left and right, and the appearance of standing in the wind can be called two young heroes.
However, the attention of Yao Fumin, Jin Guan and their subordinates was not focused on the two.
Jin Guan directly ignored his son, and only set his eyes on Zhao Shujiao and the reinforcements on the deck full of decks on the ship, only to see that the swords and guns were like a forest, and the soldiers were all full of energy, which could be called elite.
Especially the many cavalry behind Zhao Shujiao, at a glance, there are at least a thousand, and the bird is on the shoulder, the saber is in the hand, and the armor is neat.
When Yao Fumin saw it, he was even more surprised and said, "Great! As soon as General Zhao came, it showed that Lord Gao Di had a change of heart and planned to help Yuan Shuai defend Ningyuan, and we would be saved from Juehua Island! ”
Zhao Shujiao said: "I'm ashamed! The tall man in your mouth is still his shrunken turtle in Shanhaiguan! A certain bitter mouthful, begging hard, only begging for 5,000 foot soldiers!
Two thousand of them stayed in Ningyuan to help Yuan Shuai, and the remaining three thousand were led by a certain to help Juehua!
Brother Yao, Brother Jin, and the soldiers of Juehua Island! In such a strong situation, Yuan Shuai is still willing to send troops to send reinforcements at any cost, which shows that he has not forgotten to wait, and Juehua Island has not been abandoned!
A certain Zhao led the sect hereby swears that he will stick to Juehua with you! Fight the slaves! Live and die together! People are on the island! People are dead, the island is dead! ”
"Stick to Juehua! Fight the slaves! Live and die together! People are on the island! People are dead, the island is dead! ”
Huang Chongzhen suddenly understood that Zhao Shujiao just didn't like words, but he wasn't bad at words.
Because his words were very simple but very sonorous, they quickly raised the morale of the Juehua soldiers from the trough to the peak.
Zhao Shujiao saw that the morale was working, so he nodded and glanced at his left and right, and emphatically introduced: "The one who is standing on a certain or left, one is a young hero from Juehua Island, you are all familiar with it, so I won't introduce much."
And this one ......"
Zhao Shujiao also turned sideways as he spoke, showing that he attached great importance to the other teenager.
Yao Fumin and other Juehua soldiers were all surprised when they saw it, and Jin Guan looked at him seriously.
At the same time, he listened to Zhao Shujiao and said: "His name is Huang Chongzhen, and he comes from the scholarly family of Fushun - the Huang family. A few days ago, Yongqing defeated Jiannu in front of the gate and seriously injured the slave chieftain, which was the credit of his artillery battalion and Yuan Shuai's efforts to lure the enemy with his body.
This time, he brought Yuan Shuai's edict, with three red-clothed cannons and a secret weapon, if Jiannu really came, he would definitely eat a big Wang Ba back, and even the loss of soldiers may not be enough.
Although this kid is still only a small commander, Yuan Shuai and Zu Manzi have personally written to tell a certain person, and let the guards Yuan Qi and others follow, which is to ask you not to reject him in addition to listening to a certain command.
Let's tell you the truth, there is no good strategy and certainty to repel Jiannu, but this kid must have it. Therefore, I asked us to work closely with this kid and seize the time to arrange the island defense.
Just wait for Jiannu to attack, so that the group of dogs will know, although I feel that Hua is small, but the soldiers on my island are not easy to bully! ”
