Chapter 415: Removing the Hidden Stake

On this day, Lu Ning called Zheng He and Li Jinglong to him.

"The water in this sea is very shallow, and in addition to many island corals in the sea, there are also some coral reefs, as well as some hidden stakes and iron chains, the purpose of which is to block the passage of our warships, what do you two think?"

Zheng He respectfully saluted Lu Ning before speaking.

"General, the matter of ambushing and installing iron locks in the water, Sun Hao of Eastern Wu did it back then, and Wang Jun, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty, installed a special mechanism at the bottom of the boat, pulled up and pulled out those iron chains one by one, and sank to the bottom of the river. Soochow also lost the last barrier, and the whole country surrendered, and I think we can use this method as well. ”

Lu Ning nodded and said.

"Your idea is very good, but the other party not only has these things, but also has a lot of ambush water ghosts, once they are sneak attacked, it will also give you a headache."

Zheng He smiled slightly and said immediately.

"General, in fact, these are nothing, you can send General Jiujiang to support in the air in an airship, once someone from the other side comes to sneak attack, you can use the power of the air to repel them, and the last general can free up his hands to shoot the water ghosts, dismantle the underground piles, and insert signs on those reefs, so that our ships can pass safely."

Worthy of being the greatest navigator of the fifteenth century, his suggestions were pragmatic and creative, and even Lu Ning, who had crossed over, could not find any fault.

"That's it, Jiujiang, Xie Jin, the air affairs will be handed over to the two of you, this time bring two airships over, but to see how many catties and taels the so-called Zhenhai King has."

The two were just about to receive the order, when suddenly a general hurriedly came from outside.

"General, the last general is also willing to go to support."

Lu Ning looked up and saw that it was also one of his fathers-in-law, Hongdu Hou Lanyu, but now in the army, everyone calls by their respective military titles.

Lu Ning said very worriedly.

"General Lan is a beginner in naval warfare, and many skills are not proficient, so let's observe on the big ship for the time being, and wait for the next time there is a battle, you can't go up again."

Li Jinglong also had a bitter gourd face, and followed the persuasion.

"Uncle Lan, I and your family's Tianfang and Tianping are good brothers, without the order of the general, the juniors don't dare to make a mistake, don't be embarrassed for the juniors, okay?"

Lan Yu was rejected for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Lu Ning naturally knew the psychology of his father-in-law, and he smiled slightly.

"I still have a cram school for the Air Force here, I don't know if General Lan is willing to go over to study and train, maybe he can use it in the next campaign."

Hearing this, Lan Yu's heart was overjoyed.

"Thank you son-in-law, oh no, it should be thank you General!"

In fact, Lan Yu also knew that it was actually quite dangerous to support the battle in the air by airship.

If you don't have a certain amount of experience, you will have unimaginable consequences if you rush to the sky.

Therefore, he did not stalk and obediently participated in the flight training class.

Li Jinglong and Xie Jin, each with a flying team, came to the sky in a hot air balloon and looked at this sea area.

Suddenly, one of the largest of these islands was discovered, and there seemed to be a lake on it, but there were also many garrisons.

He narrowed his eyes and said.

"That may be the so-called Zhenhai King's lair, as for the two sides of the strait in front of this sea area, there should be two islands, Xianmen and Ghost Gate, this is the gateway to the Zhenhai Islands, as long as this place is broken, you can have a decisive battle with the Zhenhai Heavenly King!"

At this time, Zheng He, who has rich experience in navigation, has already organized his water ghosts to jump into the river to explore the things that are ambushed in the sea.

As soon as these people saw that there were iron stakes and chains underneath, they thought of fixing them to the ship, using the buoyancy brought by the ship, uprooting them, and throwing them to the bottom of the sea.

These people blatantly did these jobs, which naturally alarmed the defenders of the two islands of Xianmen and Ghost Gate.

In a short time, there were about 200 small boats, which were speeding towards them.

Zheng He looked up and saw two airships in the sky, hovering above their heads.

He felt a lot more at ease, and quickly ordered his flag soldiers to wave the flag to the sky.

Li Jinglong and Xie Jin naturally understood what he meant, and cooperated with them to float towards the small boats that flew over.

The boats were a little stunned when they suddenly saw something mysterious hovering over their heads. A few timid pirates suddenly trembled.

"Is Mazu manifested?"

was slapped heavily by the pirate leader next to him and said.

"You're blind, Mazu is a woman, and the monster in the air is sitting on a man!"

Who knows, there are cowardly people who actually kneel on the boat and bow down to the sky.

"It turns out that the fairy grandfather has descended to earth, it seems that our piracy has angered the heavens, head, otherwise let's go back, don't do this hurtful thing!"

The little leader of the navy was so angry that he slashed the idiot into the sea.

"Don't say it's a god, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, we have to stand aside for Lao Tzu, who dares to cut off our financial routes, so that they have no return."

The water ghosts also went into the water, wanting to go over to find Zheng He's boat.

At this time, Xie Jin said with a sneer.

"Someone is here to fly over and blow up these turtle grandchildren with a grenade!"

The airship flew over the men in a short time, and all the soldiers condescendingly threw grenades down.

The grenade was so lethal that it not only blew up the wooden boat they were on, but also the pirates on board.

Li Jinglong over there also started the operation at the same time, and in a short time, more than half of the pirates' ships were blown up.
