Wu Zhen was silent.

I have heard that Zhu Bai is a master who does not play cards according to common sense and does not follow the rules.

Lao Zhu couldn't control him, sure enough......

Zhu Bai admired Wu Zhen, and Wu Zhen also admired Zhu Bai very much because of Zhu Bai's previous designs to wipe out the Japanese invaders without much effort.

The two are almost fifty years old, but they hit it off at first sight and had a good conversation.

Zhu Bai: "The warship that this king asked someone to make, Lord Wu can receive it." ”

Wu Zhen: "I got it." A few days ago, the Japanese who exterminated the Yangtze River were the boats of His Highness. ”

Zhu Bai: "What needs to be improved in Lord Wu's bureau?" ”

Wu Zhen: "Your Highness atoned for your sins, and Weichen said it directly." Nowadays, His Highness considers sturdiness and mostly wraps the bow of the ship with steel, so the hull is heavy. The speed can't be raised, and it's a little difficult to chase down. But if you remove the iron armor, you won't be hit. It's a dilemma. ”

Zhu Bai thought to himself: If you can use a steam engine, these are not problems.

But the key is that the steam engine is not used yet.

It's about thinking about how to speed up.

Wu Zhen said again: "The fire gun sent by His Royal Highness was also used by the ministers. The power of that firebolt is really great. You don't have to get close, you can wipe out all the pirates, which is really labor-saving. ”

His eyes lit up with excitement when he spoke about it.

Zhu Bai grinned: "It's good to use." ”

When Lao Tzu made the cannon more labor-saving, as soon as the cannon passed, the opponent's ship sank.

Wu Zhen took Zhu Bai to see the new warship.

Zhang Yu and Fugui were frightened by the size of the warship.

The last time they saw Fuchuan in Fuzhou, they already thought it was a behemoth. This time I saw it was twice as big as the last one.

The ship was three or four stories high.

The huge mast is the thickness of two people hugging each other.

The ships were equipped with various shields, spears, and catapults.

This kind of warship is approaching an ordinary warship, like an elephant approaching a kitten, condescending, and throwing a stone at random is a devastating blow.

And in addition to the new warships, there are dozens of big warships, although the volume is not as large as the new ships, but they are also much larger than the ships seen on a daily basis.

Zhang Yu and Fugui felt like they had on the first day they entered the palace, and their eyes were not enough.

Wu Zhen said to Zhu Bai: "In order to overcome the shortcomings of the big war ships that cannot approach the shore and can only sail in deep water, Wei Chen has equipped the big war ships with small flat sand boats. Once the enemy is ashore or in the shallow sea, he will flatten the sand boat and go down in pursuit. ”

Zhu Bai nodded: "Yes." Lord Wu is wise. It's best to use it flexibly. ”

"Someone rushed in from a distance," and the sentry saw several Japanese ships approaching the sea. ”

Zhu Bai rubbed his hands excitedly: There is really this kind of person who is not afraid of death, the master has tried land warfare, but he has not tried naval warfare.

It's an eye-opener today.

Wu Zhen said to others: "Prepare for war." If a Japanese coward dares to attack head-on, he must be well prepared,"

Then he began to put on his armor while commanding, apparently intending to go on it himself.

Zhu Bai's heart beat faster and his blood boiled.

After Wu Zhen finished arranging, he turned to Zhang Yu and arched his hand: "Lord Zhang, wait for the next fight, I can't take care of you." Please be sure to protect Your Highness, and it is best to return to Yingtian by land immediately. ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Bai protested loudly, "General Wu, this king is here." How can you sit idly by? ”

Wu Zhen said: "The enemy is sneak attacking, and we don't have time to set up a trap to make a trap, so we can only go head-to-head." ”

This means that, boy, you can't use conspiracy and conspiracy at this time, you can only fight hard, no matter how smart you are, it's in vain.

With you, I can't increase my combat effectiveness, not to mention distracting myself to protect you.

If something goes wrong, even if I make more achievements, I will be cut down by Lao Zhu in the end.

Zhu Bai knew that he would only delay the opportunity if he said more, so he consciously retreated.

After a while, everyone swept out like the wind, boarded their own ships, and left the harbor in a mighty way.

The yamen of the general army, which was still crowded with people just now, instantly fell silent.

Zhu Bai tilted his head and muttered: "Tsk, why do you think these widows are so stupid, they know that they can't be beaten, but they still want to send them to death?!" ”

is still making such a big fanfare, for fear that Wu Zhen and they don't know.

Zhang Yu also said: "It's not quite in line with the art of war. However, it seems that the Japanese have always been stupid and do not know how to use the art of war. ”

Zhu Bai shook his head: "That's what I said, but in these two fights, this king feels that they have superior guidance and are much smarter." ”

For example, this time the robbery and killing of salt merchants in Yangzhou City is a sophisticated organized crime.

It's also easy for people to lose their grip. If he hadn't used unconventional methods from the beginning, he wouldn't have been able to solve it perfectly.

Zhang Yu said again: "No matter how you look at this battle, it looks like a tiger is leaving the mountain and attacking the camp. ”

Zhu Bai said: "This king also feels this way. But there were still so many soldiers left behind in the general barracks. Speaking of attacking the camp, the Japanese invaders cannot enter from the sea, and the Japanese invaders on land have told us to kill them all, who will attack the camp? Besides, there is a ghost in the camp, and there is no property here. ”

And a few fragmentary troops, not to mention dealing with Wu Zhen's perennial soldiers, like wolves and tigers, even the people he brought can't be defeated.

At this point, all the city gates are closed, and if you leave here and go to other places to rob, you can only go to the village. The cost is too great, the benefit is too small, and it is not cost-effective.

A thought crossed his mind.

No, no, they were diverting the tiger from the mountain, but they were not trying to attack the camp, but to divert everyone away and vacate the river, so that someone could escape from the Yangtze River to the sea by boat.

He ran to the large map hanging behind the seat and beckoned to one of the guards outside the door: "Come, come, tell this king." Which direction did the Japanese come from? ”

The guard pointed to the map and said, "Come from the sea from the southeast." ”

The old nest of the Japanese is in the northeast of here, but it makes a special detour to the southeast.

Isn't that to attract the Ming navy and empty the sea in the northeast so that people can escape?

Zhu Bai said to Zhang Yu: "General Zhang, are you interested in accompanying this king to fight a water war?" ”

Zhang Yu became nervous: "Your Highness, you can't get into danger." ”

Zhu Bai said: "There is no need to be in danger, we will stop a small boat, plus the boat, the enemy is at most three people." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed his map and walked out, then jumped into his boat.

Zhang Yu couldn't stop them, so they could only follow.

Zhu Bai unfolded the map, stretched out his hand and pointed somewhere, and said to the leader of the boatmen, "We are going here." The sooner you arrive, the better. ”

The leader of the boatmen said, "Well, it will only be a few dozen miles of waterway here, and it will be very soon." ”

The leader directed the boatman to row quickly and came to a stop in a shelter in a narrow body of water near the mouth of the sea.

Zhu Bai said: "From this moment on, no one is allowed to speak loudly and cough, otherwise he will scare away the people who this king is waiting for, and it will be in vain to toss for half a day." ”

The crowd whispered back, "Yes." ”

Now the guards on the ship are all trustworthy dead soldiers who have followed Zhu Bai many times from birth to death.

Zhu Bai picked up his binoculars and stared at the river upstream.
