On the sea, Hu Yanqing stood on the bow of the largest merchant ship, because it was a merchant ship, there were not too many buildings on the deck, only a few warehouses and masts, and most of the soldiers were in the cabin. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Horn!"

Hu Yanqing saw that he was going to Shamen Island, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered to blow the horn, he was not going to go to Shamen Island, this island group is very large, and it may not be possible to search for ten days, he must hurry up.

"Woooooo

The horn sounded.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Shamen Island, which had no reaction, Hu Yanqing frowned, there are many people on Shamen Island, this military horn has been sounding for a long time, why can't anyone come out.

"Could it be that something happened on the island!"

Hu Yanqing's heart tightened, if the thieves could sneak attack Daoyu Village, they would definitely be able to defeat Shamen Island.

"General, why don't you go to the island and have a look!"

An officer looked at Hu Yanqing and asked with his fists clenched.

"The army can't go to the island, if the thieves hide on the island, we will stop the ship and be ambushed."

Hu Yanqing shook his head and said, if you go to the island, the ships will have to dock, and the most taboo thing in sea combat is that the ships stop, once stopped, it is equivalent to exposing flaws to the enemy.

"The flotilla is slowly moving in a zigzag pattern, sending small boats to the island!"

Hu Yanqing looked at Shamen Island for a while, but he didn't find any problems, so he ordered.

"There are seventy or eighty prisoners and two hundred servants in the prison city on this island, and why is there not a single one?"

Hu Yanqing looked at the intact prison city and the buildings on Shamen Island and frowned, but the thieves have artillery, but there is no trace of being bombed here.

A small boat quickly sent more than a dozen people onto the boat, and Hu Yanqing watched all this from the bow of the boat, and he would not rush to stop the boat on the island until there was a clear result.

"This Hu Yanqing is really cautious, and he deserves to be a general who has fought at sea for many years."

Behind a deserted island not far away, Ruan Xiaoer was holding a telescope to look at the situation near Shamen Island, and he saw everything Hu Yanqing was doing.

"It's a pity, if he takes someone to the island, Fei Bao can directly copy his back road, and it will be difficult to fly!"

Ruan Xiaowu said.

"Hu Yanqing is not a fool, except for some islands on this sea, there is no shelter, it is not easy to set up ambushes, as long as his ship does not stop, he has the power to fight!"

Ruan Xiaoer said, this is the sea, not Liangshanbo, there are patches of reeds and various harbor branches in Liangshanbo, there is nothing on this sea, you can see it at a glance more than ten miles away, and if the weather is better, you can see dozens of miles away when you stand on the mast, how can you set up an ambush?

"Second brother, can't our brothers fight this battle!"

Ruan Xiaowu whispered in Ruan Xiaoer's ear, there was no third person around at this time, Ruan Xiaowu also wanted this work, I thought that this time it was Ruan Xiaoer who was in charge and should give him the first battle, but Ruan Xiaoer gave Fei Bao.

"Do you know why I sent Ni Yun and Wang Dingliu over together?"

Ruan Xiaoer said in a low voice.

"I don't know!"

Ruan Xiaowu shook his head, Wang Dingliu and Ni Yun were the deputy generals of the two of them, and they were also released together this time.

"How can our three brothers, how can they occupy three seats in the fourth battalion of the navy? What were we before? It's just three fishermen from Shijie Village. ”

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said, he used to like to watch the clouds flutter in the sky, that was the freedom he longed for, but life always forced him to fish, endless fishing, and now he can finally chase that freedom.

"It's all the blessing of Brother Tuosun Lei!"

Ruan Xiaowu replied that they could change from a fisherman to the leader of Liangshanbo, and they could all lead a battalion of sailors and more than a dozen warships, all of which came from Sun Lei.

"So we can't dismantle my brother's platform, my brother treats us well, if we still form a small group and exclude others, do you think my brother will be happy!"

Ruan Xiaoer opened his mouth and said, they were the first to follow Sun Lei, and Sun Lei also gave them a very high status, so the three brothers were willing to do anything for Sun Lei.

"Our three brothers are in a stable position, what is the impact of more credit and less credit? But what about the new brother? Especially Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng, and Wang Dingliu are different, they need a credit to stabilize their positions. ”

"And this is also very important for the overall momentum of the navy, our navy has few opportunities to make meritorious contributions, the new brothers have no merit, they have no bottom in their hearts, and there is a lot of gossip, where will the morale come from in the long run?"

Ruan Xiaoer looked at Ruan Xiaowu and said, what the navy lacks most now is merit, unlike the horse army and the infantry army, which are full of money, the navy has empty leaders, soldiers, and warships in Liangshanbo, but there is no room for display.

"That's right, Brother Fei Bao followed his brother from Jiangnan, all the way to our Liangshanbo, and there is no chance to make a move until now, it is really inappropriate for our brother to grab the merit again."

Ruan Xiaowu nodded. As Sun Lei's most loyal follower, he naturally can't cause trouble for Sun Lei, Fei Bao has made a great contribution, and the status of the three of them in Sun Lei's heart will not be shaken in the slightest.

On Salmon Island, the soldiers on the island ran out of the prison city in horror, where it was already an empty city.

Boarding the boat, a group of soldiers quickly reported the news to Hu Yanqing.

"What, not a single one? Not even a corpse capital? ”

Hu Yanqing's face changed slightly, although he had long thought that something had happened in the prison city, but he never thought that it would be like this, this is really weird, how could there be no corpse?

"You've searched inside and out?"

Hu Yanqing asked confirmatively.

"I've searched it all, not only in the prison city, but also in the house where the servants live outside, it's empty, as if it has disappeared out of thin air!"

The soldiers replied with a frightened face, since the attack on the knife fish village, the morale of the Ping Navy has been completely lost, and the fear of the unknown enemy is increasing day by day, and now they encounter this strange scene again, they can't help but feel that they have encountered ghosts in the sea.

"Set sail and head to Yuanji Island!"

Hu Yanqing ordered to the soldiers, since Shamen Island is already an empty island, then there is no need for him to go ashore again, and go directly to the next island that may be inhabited.

"Hu Yanqing has been fooled!"

Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile when he saw that Hu Yanqing's fleet was going around Shamen Island and continued to advance.

"It's up to Fei Bao how they fight!"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

Hu Yanqing led the army all the way to the north, Hu Yanqing was very careful, and took the fleet to go to the place where there were islands and reefs, if the enemy suddenly appeared, he would use the 100 miles of Ming Island reef to deal with the enemy.

"I'm here to see who's pretending!"

Hu Yanqing said coldly in his heart, he has been in the Dengzhou Ping Navy for more than ten years, responsible for the defense of the eastern coast, he is familiar with this piece of islands and reefs, this is his home field, no matter who comes, he will not escape the fate of a reef and death.

"Report, there is an unknown ship ahead!"

The sentry on the mast suddenly roared loudly.

This sound instantly alerted everyone, and they all ran to the bow of the boat to look, and sure enough, there was a loach warship in the distance.
