Chapter 897: A Moment of Life and Death
Hearing what Admiral Sailor said, the Tenth Master was silent. He had no experience and didn't know what the situation was, so it would be better to remain silent.
The fourth master didn't speak, just listened to a few generals analyze the situation and study strategies.
"Does Four-Baylor think it's a good arrangement?" Admiral Sailor asked one last question.
In his opinion, the fourth master is a person who has been on the battlefield, and he was specially sent by Kangxi this time, so he should still ask for his opinion.
The fourth master only said: "I have never fought at sea, you can arrange it." ”
Admiral Sailor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this person is a man who understands. If you don't understand, don't meddle. I'm afraid of someone who doesn't understand and likes to pretend to understand, and loves to point fingers.
"Then the fourth Belle and the tenth master are sitting in the camp." Admiral Admiral.
Both of them were inexperienced, and they weren't very good at water, so he didn't dare to take any chances.
"Let the Tenth Master stay, I'll go and have a look." The fourth master said.
"Fourth brother, I'll go too!" The tenth master said busily.
"Tenth brother, this is not the time to be reckless!" The fourth master frowned and said, "You have never been on the battlefield, so it is better to stay behind this time." ”
"Fourth brother is different, hasn't he ever been to sea? You don't have the same previous battlefield experience, so you can't use it? The Tenth Master retorted.
Admiral Sailor suddenly had a headache. That's what he's afraid of!
You can't let them go to the battlefield at all, but you can't let them go to places that are too dangerous. In case of a serious injury, or loss of life, he doesn't need to want this official uniform.
"The two masters don't have to fight. Since the general is the governor of the water division, this battle will be up to the general. None of you are allowed to go to sea in tonight's naval battle! Admiral Admiral. He didn't care about not offending people, just make sure that these two were safe.
The fourth master glanced at the Admiral of the Navy, and finally nodded. At this point, the tenth master was not easy to fight, so he had to agree.
Soon the soldiers in the camp were ready. The fourth master and the tenth master stood outside the big tent together and watched the soldiers get on the boat.
"Fourth brother, I really want to go up and try it." Ten Masters said.
Before he came, he thought about mixing up and not going to sea. Because he also knows the danger. After coming, the conditions were bad, and he had the heart to retreat.
But later, after listening to the words of the fourth master, watching those soldiers practice every day, his heart itched again.
Because of his straightforward temperament, he stayed in the camp these days and mingled with the soldiers, so he got along well with everyone. Compared to the fourth master, who always has a serious face, he is more popular!
As a result, he wanted to see the real battlefield more and more. But I don't want the first chance to be gone.
"There's always a chance." The fourth master said.
He could understand Admiral's decision, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed just now. But this compromise does not mean that the next compromise will continue. This naval battle was too sudden, and he and the tenth master came for a short time, so it was right not to go to the battlefield.
"But I don't think Admiral Sailor wants us to go to war. Fourth brother, you should have directly pressed him with your identity just now! "The tenth master said.
"How's that going to work!" The fourth master frowned, "What about the chance to go to the battlefield by relying on identity suppression?" They can just leave you in the cabin without giving you a chance. ”
"What then? Let's just watch every time we are on the shore? The tenth master looked at the dark sea, and his face was full of unwillingness.
The wind was howling, and it was dark again, and it would be completely impossible to see the ships that had just set out.
The fourth master glanced at the tenth master and said, "Let's go back to the camp tent, and we'll talk about it next time." ”
Although the tenth master was unwilling, he obediently returned to the camp.
This account has been in place for a long time. Throughout the night, none of the ships on the expedition were found. When the sky began to turn white, the tenth master couldn't help but yawn.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." The fourth master said.
"No, I'm going to wait with the fourth brother." The tenth master yawned again and said, "Fourth brother, why aren't you sleepy?" ”
"I'm used to it." The fourth master said: "On the battlefield, it is rare to sleep and eat on time, and your spirit must be highly concentrated and ready to fight at any time." ”
"I'm going to have a cup of strong tea." Ten Masters said.
He can't go to the battlefield anymore, and he can't stay up all night, but he will really be laughed at.
The fourth master did not persuade him. Since it is out to practice, it is necessary to have an experience. In his opinion, the tenth master is still malleable.
At least it's okay to endure hardship. Even if he endured it for the sake of saving face, he at least held back.
The two of them kept watch like this, until the sun popped out between the sea and the sky, and the sky began to brighten, and finally someone was heard shouting: "Come back!" It's back! The army is back! ”
The fourth master and the tenth master hurriedly got up and went to the outside of the big tent to see together. I saw that the sea was still rough last night, but at this time the wind and waves were calm, and the fleet of ships on the expedition also appeared on the sea.
"I don't know if I won or lost?" The tenth master muttered in his mouth.
"Even if you win, it's not easy to win." The fourth master said. After a fierce battle all night, it can be seen that the battle situation is very fierce.
Soon the flotilla came to shore. Only then did everyone see the situation of the fleet clearly.
A lot of the hull was damaged, apparently from a cannon attack. It can be seen that the firepower of the Japanese is still very fierce.
The fourth and tenth masters have been standing on the shore, waiting for the commander of the sailor on the first battle ship to come down.
To the surprise of the two, Admiral Sailor was carried down.
"The Governor is seriously wounded." Said the soldier carrying the stretcher.
Admiral of the Sailor on the stretcher had his eyes closed and his face pale. One hand was bandaged, and the armor on his body was stained red with blood.
"How did it hurt like this? How's the battle going? The fourth master asked hurriedly.
"Winning is winning, but the losses are heavy, we folded a warship and killed more than a thousand soldiers!" The general on the side.
"So much!" The fourth master frowned and said, "What about the widows?" ”
"There are even more losses over there!" The general said: "We sank their three ships, and there should be tens of thousands of people to exterminate the Japanese invaders!" ”
"The Japanese are so strong?" The fourth master was a little surprised.
In the past, the Japanese were all fighting in small groups, but a few thousand people came to be a large scale. This time, there were more than 10,000 people, which was really unexpected.
"The governor suspects that they are colluding with Taiwan." Counselor said.
"More on that later. First, count the number of casualties and do a good job of resettlement. The fourth master said.
"Yes!" The general answered, and hurriedly carried the admiral of the water division into his big tent.
The fourth master sighed, only to find that the tenth master was standing there with a dull expression.
"Tenth brother!" The fourth master shouted.
"Ah, Fourth Brother!" The tenth master is still a little dumbfounded.
"Scared?" The fourth master asked.
"No, no." The Tenth Master muttered.
"Tenth brother, the battlefield is like this. Life and death are only a moment. The fourth master said.
