Chapter 25: The Governor of the Naval Division of the Xi Kingdom

But Di Renjie obviously didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Jing, and when he saw that it was not far from the territory of Xiguo, Di Renjie got up silently and spoke to the soldiers on the side.

"The time has come, let's get started."

Xu Jing was still wondering what the time had come, and suddenly all the boats began to light torches.

Torches were lit at the bow and stern of each ship, and each ship separated and slowly moved along in the thick fog.

Di Renjie deliberately explained to the soldiers who drove the boat that at this moment, he needed to move forward slowly, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

Sure enough, the sentinels on the opposite side were instantly distracted after seeing the dozens of flames that suddenly appeared above the lake, and hurriedly stumbled towards the governor's room.

"Oh no!! There is hostility!! There is hostility!! ”

The man's name is Qi Xian, and now he is only twenty-eight years old, and he is the youngest naval governor in the history of the Xi Kingdom.

Legend has it that the Governor of Qi was a young and promising military genius, and he belonged to the top among the talented Xi Kingdom.

It's just that few people know Qi Xian's path to promotion.

Eight years ago, the Governor of Qi, who was still an ordinary sailor at the time, successfully became a sailor with a poem called "Giving the Princess's Wife".

Three years ago, he became the deputy governor of the Navy because of a weekly diary of "The Father-in-law of the Lord".

Last year, when the father-in-law of the lord of the country smelled his bad breath when he was listening to a report from the former naval governor 30 meters away, he was furious and dismissed him.

At this point, Qi Xian, who was the deputy governor of the water division at the time, officially became the chief governor of the water division.

Yes, Qi Xian's wife is a princess, and his father-in-law is the most powerful person in Xi Country today - the lord of Xi Kingdom.

At this moment, although Qi Xian had just woken up from the dream, he quickly calmed himself.

Looking at the sentinel who gave the order, Qi Xian asked in a low voice.

"Do you see how many ships are coming?"

"Report to the Grand Governor, the fog above the lake is so thick that you can't see it clearly, you can only see countless torches!"

"Countless torches, so there are a lot of ships...... It seems to be Chang Guo. ”

It is not only Xiguo and Bactria that border Lake Tai.

The Xi Kingdom is located to the west of Great Xia, and there is another country that borders the Taihu Lake as it continues to flow westward, and that is the Chang Kingdom.

The strength of Chang Guo is similar to that of Xi Guo, and the two countries have always been in a state of war, and it has lasted for hundreds of years.

The two countries have a balance of power, and neither can help the other, but they are not convinced by each other.

It was precisely because of this that Xi Guo was unable to spare the energy to annex small countries such as Great Xia.

As for the warship dispatch at this moment, Qi Xian didn't even think about going in the direction of Great Xia at all.

After all, this small country without ownership of Lake Tai can't even get a decent fishing boat, let alone a large number of warships.

"Just ......"

Seeing Qi Xian's inference, the sentry was also a little stunned.

"Say."

"It's just that I see that the position of the torches seems to be a little low, and I can see that these should not be large warships, maybe just dozens of small ships, we can send two or three large ships at will to break them!"

"Nonsense!" Before the sentry could finish speaking, Qi Xian took the lead in speaking.

"Is it child's play that two countries are at war? Do you really think that their Chang Guo's brain was kicked by a donkey, and they randomly sent dozens of small warships to blow us up? ”

After saying this, Qi Xian's brows began to wrinkle slightly, and he believed that his judgment must be fine.

"The boat is open, there must be a huge ship behind us, at this moment the lake is full of fog, they must be betting that we can't see the boat high behind, if we rush out, I'm afraid we will fall into their trap!"

Being reprimanded like this, the sentry could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

"Pass my orders, everyone should not act rashly, the archers will be dispatched, as long as their ships do not retreat, shoot me, I don't believe that shooting them will not kill!"

"Yes!"

When his subordinates heard this, they immediately went down to give orders.

And Qi Xian also slowly began to tidy up his clothes at this moment.

"Hmph, little Changguo also wants me to be fooled, am I really a fool?"

Qi Xian hummed a little song, but he didn't care.

The Jiang Han Arrow of Xiguo is famous all over the world.

Unlike other countries that don't pay much attention to arrows.

Every arrow produced by the country of Xi is extremely powerful, and the reason for this is because of the huge financial resources of the country.

Since the state has money, so the army uses things as well.

The Jiang Han Arrow of the Xi Kingdom is made of a metal called Jiang Han Refined Iron.

It costs more than three times as much to manufacture as an ordinary arrow, and at the same time it is several times more powerful than a normal arrow.

The armor that ordinary arrows could not penetrate, could easily penetrate under the power of Jiang Han's arrows.

And the number of such arrows in the country is even more terrifying.

It was precisely because of this that Qi Xian was able to give the order to shoot arrows at the warship without caring about the loss of life.

As the Governor of the Naval Division of the Xi Kingdom, his duty is to ensure that the warships of the Chang Kingdom do not dare to take another step.

The fact is indeed as Qi Xian guessed, under the rain of arrows in his own sky, these warships of the "Chang Kingdom" really did not advance in the slightest.

These warships seem to be leaderless at the moment, and although there are still torches lit on the ships, they are already a little dark, as if they have lost their fighting spirit.

Qi Xian thought about it, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile of relief.

He believed that the commander of the current Chang Guo must be hesitant on the other side.

Obviously, there was no backup plan after the plan he had made was discovered by himself.

No matter how you look at it, you are the final victor.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qi Xian's mouth raised even higher.

"Come on, let the arrows shoot harder, and shoot these sneak attacks in the middle of the night!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers below all shouted, and then began another round of heavy fire.

After a few more rounds, Qi Xian was pleasantly surprised to find that the flames on the opposite warship began to gradually become farther away.

Seeing this, Qi Xian laughed directly.

"Chang Guo is a group of brainless things, and such a small plan dares to run rampant in front of me?"

Qi Xian laughed, there is no doubt that this time because of his wisdom, Xiguo can bear less losses.

Although he shot countless arrows, after all, he kept the ship, and it was a good deal no matter how you look at it.

It's just that when Qi Xian was full of joy and was about to leave, the sentry on the side suddenly opened his mouth in confusion.

"Hey, why did Chang Guo's warship go east?"

"East ...... East? ”

Qi Xian was a little confused.

What kind of country is in the east, that's Great Xia!

The country, which is rumored to have only 8,000 defenders, pinched them to death as if they were ants.

Such a country dares to come here to provoke? It's absolutely impossible!
