Chapter Seventy-Seven: Breaking the Enemy at the Strongest
Lin Fengjin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a very critical matter:
That is, for human beings, sulfur realgar and the like are just a kind of medicinal materials, as long as they are not eaten, they are nothing to touch, for example, it is really good to soak in sulfur hot springs, which can soften the skin, dissolve keratin, sterilize, or kill fleas, scabies and the like.
However, snakes and insects are most afraid of sulfur, and things like realgar are simply poisonous to them. Bai Suzhen, a profound monster, half a cup of realgar wine directly made it appear as the prototype. And the vicinity of the volcano is rich in this thing, no wonder Ao Ye said that it is a nightmare place, it is estimated that if Ao Liquid runs to that place, it is equivalent to a normal person entering the highly poisonous swamp to survive.
After the two exchanged a few words, Lin Fengjin returned the topic to the main topic:
"Hey, hey, my subordinates are not trusting me very much now, this is a crisis of trust, do you know?
Ao Ye said angrily:
"Just for this little thing, you will waste one of my incense sticks!! You are full of food? Don't you need capital to be this incense? I will build this snake god next time I will also charge for this thing, and the merit of one party is worth a piece, so that you don't do it properly!"
Lin Fengjin rolled his eyes and said:
"Can this be called a trivial matter? If you can't handle this matter, as far as the current situation is concerned, then I can only start the final plan to burn the jade, and at most a hundred people can escape from this city, do you say it's a big thing or a small thing?"
Ao Ye, the old guy, glanced at Lin Fengjin, sighed, and said in a long voice:
"Originally, I couldn't do it, but after my efforts. It should still be fine. β
Lin Fengjin frowned and said angrily:
"Should?should??I don't want this, I must be fine! Otherwise, I don't mind disturbing Your Excellency the Snake God, and tell her that your snake god is simply a corpse vegetarian meal! β
Seeing that Lin Fengjin seemed to be really angry, Ao Li hurriedly reassured:
"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem. β
Lin Fengjin said at this time:
"When will it be delivered?"
Ao Li calculated the time:
"By sunset tomorrow at the latest. β
Lin Fengjin turned his anger into joy at this time, and said with a smile:
"Oh, Mr. Ao hasn't seen you for a long time, why don't we come and have two glasses and set up a banquet!"
Ao Ye suddenly realized at this time, plus he was furious:
"Feelings, if I answer you unsatisfied. Can't even drink two glasses of wine?"
The next day, late at night.
Lin Fengjin suddenly ordered and gathered all the key people in the city together.
Seven or eight arm-thick butter candles were lit on the lobby, and they were burning whirringly, and the light shone so brightly that almost the hair on everyone's head could be seen clearly. When Lin Fengjin hadn't shown up yet, everyone was talking to each other, whispering what was going on.
There is only a wolf suddenly, and it is separated. The three of them exchanged glances with each other, all of them showed extremely excited looks, but the three of them were like mirrors in their hearts, knowing that Gongzi was the kind of person who planned and then acted. And the tone is extremely tight, once he gathers at this time, it can only mean that he is 100% sure of what he is planning!
But Wu Zuocheng's current situation seems to them in their eyes. In fact, after this reinforcement, the defensive line on the periphery of Wu Zuocheng has undergone many repairs, and it can be said that it is impregnable.
Not to mention that now they have more than half of the horses dead. The big loss of strength is to return to the time when the city was first besieged, even if you still use blitzkrieg tactics, at most you will fight with the enemy to lose both, and it is still "at most".
And can Wu Zuocheng fight to the death and wound the other side? The opponent's strength in the barrier defense line alone is 50,000! Even if Wu Zuocheng is killed with the lives of the prisoners and fought to the last person, the other side will still have 10,000 people left, and at least!
At this time, the three of them could only look at Gongzi, and in their hearts, only Lin Fengjin had the ability to turn the tide, and he could fight his way out of the complete death.
At this time, Lin Fengjin appeared, looking at his dress up and down was a little different from usual, his whole body was tied tightly, and he was wearing a pair of calfskin boots that were high to the knees, which looked very clean and neat, as soon as Lin Fengjin came, he simply stood up and persuaded everyone to drink three glasses of wine, and then said:
"The three glasses of wine that everyone drank tonight are to warm up the body and invigorate the blood, in addition, we also prepared a wine gourd for everyone, one for each person, and you can take it out and pour two sips when you need it, but don't overdo it, because there are some easy and neat jobs for us to do tonight." I know that the big guys are going to have idle birds in their bones these days, so let you loosen your muscles and bones today!"
"Obey the child's orders!" everyone said in unison.
Lin Fengjin drank three glasses of wine at this time, and seemed to be in high spirits, so he continued:
"In these days, it seems that everything is not going well, and it is difficult to worry about everyone, first of all, the horse was manipulated by the other party's evil god priest, and a large number of people died, and secondly, I also seem to be very willful to take out the life-like grain and gamble with people. I also know that this doesn't seem to be a good idea, but if you miss this opportunity, it's really difficult to get the bastard from the East China Sea to take the initiative to come to this, so it can be said that if you miss this village, you won't have that shop. However, I also have a plan in my heart, so I will be willful once, and I am really sorry that it may have caused unnecessary confusion to everyone here. β
Everyone began to be humble, and Lin Fengjin continued:
"There is a saying that Seon is not blessed if he loses his horse, although the other party took advantage of our unpreparedness and successfully attacked our horses once, but this matter seems to me. Actually, it's a good thing. Why? As soon as the number of our horses drops, the deterrent power of the cavalry decreases, the more the enemy perceives that our combat power has decreased, and the more they let their guard down! The easier we have to do now. β
When it came to the topic, Lin Fengjin was also stern, and looked at the people in the audience with blazing eyes:
"Where do you say the enemy's strongest advantage is?"
As soon as this question was asked, the rest of the people scratched their heads a little, and after thinking about it carefully, they were really tested, if this East China Sea Coalition Army talks about land warfare. That is to say, it is so-so, and the gap with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is not a star and a half, if you talk about cavalry warfare, right? Not to mention, the people in the Sanli Department have the most right to speak, and it is no problem to fight five or six at a time.
If it's said that the East China Sea Coalition is shooting at a distance, it's also quite ordinary, and I don't think there's anything eye-catching, but I heard that the longbowmen of the Land of the Sunrise are very sharp, but if you don't see it, it doesn't count.
Even if they were to attack the city, there would be no bright spots. The siege equipment manufactured in the Central Plains Continent began to be used hundreds of years ago, and it was nothing more than a ladder rushing car and the like.
If you only look at what the poor barrier defense line has been made before, you can know how well they defend.
But. In the end, someone said the answer that Lin Feng wanted was born:
"The strongest place for these guys should be water warfare, right? According to what the adults said, even those monsters in the deep sea giant ocean who were born with terrifying bloodlines were all heard of the wind when they saw this group of East China Sea people. None of the patrol and reconnaissance ships we sent out tentatively before could come back. β
Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, you're not right at all. The most powerful thing about the countries of the East China Sea lies in their water warfare! They can cross the ocean, relying on the fact that they are completely invincible on the water, and they have no opponent, but have you ever heard of a saying that the enemy's greatest weakness is often hidden in its strongest point! Just like our cavalry and archery are the strongest, but our biggest weakness lies in the horses, once they are targeted by the other side and put down the horse plague, their combat power will be sharply reduced!
"And why are the countries of the East China Sea the most powerful in water warfare, but they also have a fatal weakness, as if the cavalry is inseparable from the Achilles' heel of horses These guys are not strong in water warfare, but too dependent on those terrifying beetles: on the Su I envoy, once there is no Su I envoy, these guys are a second-rate water army!"
As soon as they heard the words "Su I Messenger" mentioned by Lin Fengjin, everyone also shuddered, because they all remembered very clearly that once a patrol ship sent out tentatively was attacked by the East China Sea coalition forces, and in the end, there was still one person on board who survived.
Although this person returned to the shore alive, he suddenly screamed in front of everyone and swelled up, and then vomited out a large number of black and white beetles from his mouth, and the back lines showed a skull-shaped beetle, which flowed all over the ground, if it weren't for the fact that the Central Plains land was born to reject this evil thing, and these reproduced Sugo messengers also had a very short life cycle, I am afraid that everyone on the spot would die!
And in the water, the force of the repulsion of the Central Plains by the Suself envoy is much smaller, and it is even more crazy, once it is encountered at sea, it immediately surged from the water like a black cloud, and then it seemed to gather at the bottom of the ship like cannibalizing mulberry leaves, and a big hole could be opened in a light way, and then it went into it and killed wantonly.
What the naval armies of the East China Sea countries have to do is very simple, Shi Shiran drove over and took away the things that could be seen on the ship before the ship sank.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin said that it is not bad at all, the strength of the cavalry, at least half of the credit should be calculated on the horses under the crotch, and the strength of the naval armies of the countries in the East China Sea should be counted on the heads of the Su I envoys who accompanied the ship!
Hearing Lin Fengjin say this, everyone was in good spirits, Lin Fengjin propped his hands on the table at this time, and slowly showed a cold smile from the corner of his mouth:
"So, gentlemen, today is the time for our army to avenge our beloved horses!"
The waves of the East China Sea are rippling and undulating, and it has been so rippling for I don't know how many years, I don't know how many ups and downs it has witnessed, and how many impregnable reef embankments have collapsed.
For the literati, this is a night when the rain is pouring down and the ocean is gone, and it is possible to write the famous article "The waves will go away, and the tide will bring the rain", but for some of the sailors who stayed in the camp in Cave Bay. It's a very unlucky time period!
Because they're going out on patrol.
To be precise, the sea around Wu Zuocheng is locked, and even the "piece board" can't go into the sea!
This task seems very daunting, but in fact it is very simple, these sailors will set off with three three-masted ships each, and then simply anchor outside the port of Wu Zuocheng, which is at least five times larger than the cave bay, but it is already as if it has formed an inland lake, and the mouth to the sea is very small.
Let's put it this way, three three-masted ships anchored horizontally at this mouth of the sea. The distance between the ships is ten zhang, and the mouth of the sea can be sealed, and once a ship comes out, no matter how big or small, as long as the naval forces in the countries of the East China Sea are not dead, then they will definitely be able to detect it.
Before, the other party seemed to have a fluke mentality, and he also sent three or four ships to send him to death, but under the perverted tactics of the East China Sea countries, they were completely as many as they came. Even better, it doesn't matter much if the crew is lazy, because the hungry Suga envoy is extremely sensitive to the breath of the living, as long as he doesn't set foot on the land of the Central Plains. It is extremely ferocious, and once it smells the enemy, it will pounce on it, gnawing it to the scum of people and ships.
Among the three ships, the odd head is called Taixiong. He was over fifty years old, and he was an experienced old man, so he was appointed as the person in charge of the night watch. This is also his bad words. There was no one to speak for him, so he took on this drudgery.
Otherwise, what the East China Sea Coalition lacks most now is not the loot, but the transportation capacity to transport the loot. Even so, Taixiong had heard that the Central Plains was rich, and that a lot of the looted wealth could only be hastily transported to a small island close to the shore and buried on it, and then he would come back to transport it back in the future.
Therefore, in this case, the East China Sea Coalition will not pursue the captain's behavior of enriching his own pockets at all, as long as you can take it, it's okay, just take it openly.
Therefore, when I think of the treatment of my colleagues and my current situation, the imbalance in Taixiong's heart is extremely frustrating.
The shrill bamboo whistle sounded like a ghost, even the sound of wind and rain could not be blocked - everyone who heard the whistle sighed regretfully, the leisure, warm time has passed, and it is time to go to change shifts.
Taixiong raised his head and drank the hot wine in the cup, feeling a burst of heat all over his body, and by the way, he took out the remaining salted fish from the food plate in front of him, reluctantly ate it, and then took a big sip of wine with satisfaction.
The craftsmanship of the slaves in the Central Plains is indeed good, this salted fish is fried in sesame oil on both sides to golden brown, even the bones are fried crispy and crispy, and the five-spice powder sprinkled is also just right, if it is replaced by the year before coming, it is estimated that the samurai, daimyo and the like can only eat such a meal during the festival.
Although he was reluctant to give up the warmth and dryness of the tent, the harsh military order still made Taixiong stand up, put on a sturdy hat, and then opened the tent and strode out, but soon, Taixiong realized that his behavior of putting on the hat was very futile, because the heavy rain and the wind of at least five degrees suddenly made Taixiong fall into a semi-wet state, and then when Taixiong walked on the dock plank road, a wave came to make up for the knife, and Taixiong couldn't even find a wet place under his crotchγ
In the vast heavy rain, the huge ship was also undulating with the wind and waves, and Taixiong came to the dock and shouted:
"How wide it is, how wide it is. β
The straw mats stacked next to them also squirmed, and out of them crawled out a dozen sailors who seemed to be holding the straw mats on their heads to protect themselves from the rain, and they also shouted in unison:
"How wide it is, how wide it is. β
"Duo Kuanxiu" was originally the number of fishermen in the East China Sea when they pulled the nets, but later when they were in the middle of the wind and waves, especially when the wind and waves were urgent, they would shout and ask, which meant "Hey? (What about you?)", and the other party's answer was similar, meaning that I am here.
The system of the East China Sea countries is extremely strict, and often after making a mistake, they will kill people directly, so none of Taixiong's crew members were late, and then all of them knelt down in accordance with the custom, aiming at their own bow and kneeling, although Nobita, who was drenched with rheumatism, felt that his rheumatic legs had begun to emit a dull pain, hemorrhoids also began to throb, and the old bones of his spine also clicked, but he knelt down to the most standard, and the tone of his eyes was also the most pious.
With the bow of these crew members, there were a few points of light on the bow near the waterline faintly flickering a few times, it was the Su I envoy who made a timely response, at this time the crew dared to board the ship, and then began to work busily, at this time the bamboo whistle was about to blow for the second time, according to the rules, three bamboo whistles sounded, if the ship has not yet left the shore, then someone has to come out and kneel down as a scapegoat, and the head will be cut off! This is not a joke.
Soon, when the third bamboo whistle sounded, the three ships that went to the rotation had already raised their sails and sailed away from the dock several miles in the wind and rain, and only those with good eyesight could see a little weak yellow light swaying on the mast of the last ship, which was the air dead wind lamp that was hung according to the custom during night sailing.
This lamp is actually a lantern, but the lantern paper is coated with tung oil to be waterproof, and the paste is very tight, and the wind can't blow it out, so it is jokingly called the wind will also be angry to death, hence the name.
At this time, night sailing is also a very dangerous thing, fortunately, although the route from Cave Bay Daying to Wu Zuocheng has only been opened for more than two months, but these ships have sailed countless times, reaching the realm of practice makes perfect, even the tension has long passed that stage, so the full ship of people are quite relaxed, some people are still busy with work, while singing slang songs, from time to time there are bursts of applause.
But I don't know why, Taixiong always feels a little uneasy tonight, this kind of uneasiness is very rare, but it's not the first time it comes out, when Taixiong first gave birth to this feeling, the sky was dark, and half an hour later, a terrible typhoon came, and directly lifted the roof of his house, if it wasn't for his mother holding and hiding in the cellar, he would have died a long time ago.
And the second time he had this feeling of unease was on a sunny sunny day, he had already gotten on the fishing boat five miles away from home, but he found an excuse to go home, and half a day later he learned that the fishing ground they frequented was occupied by a new sea monster, and among the more than 20 people who went, only three and a half were able to escape alive, why half of them, because his feet and thighs were completely bitten off
Therefore, Taixiong immediately had an urge to return, but at this time, he was no longer a fisherman, he had been incorporated into the army and became a small flag, and the ship he controlled at this time had also changed from a fishing sampan to a three-masted warship, so most of the end of returning for no reason was a human head falling to the ground.
If you go back, you will definitely die, and if you keep going, there will be something, and no matter how stupid you are, you will know how to do it.
As soon as he thought of this, Taixiong couldn't help but look at the bow of the boat, and an inexplicable confidence was born in his heart, he had seen with his own eyes how the lawless, huge and huge deep-sea ancient beast that seemed to be a small island screamed in pain under the little beetle of the Suga envoy, and fled in a hurry, and when he finally died, the sea water within a radius of several miles was stained red with blood!
"Or maybe you're overthinking?" Taixiong said to himself. Then with a flick of his eyes, he picked up the rattan next to him and strode forward, and roared viciously:
"Kichiichiro, what are you doing?"
Then there was the sound of rattan waving, and there was a scream, and the back of the beaten Kichiichiro suddenly had a long bloody wound, and when he was bitten by the salt in the seawater, he immediately grinned in pain and his face was pale, but the sailor didn't dare to talk back at all, the only thing he could do was to stop whispering to the people next to him, but quickly scooped out the sea water and rain that had been splashed into the pit in the bow of the ship. (To be continued......)
