Chapter 244: Boarding the Warren
"You want to run to the British lair and sink the other party's warship? Why?" Wang Jiuxuan was stunned for a moment and asked.
"More important than the why, is how dangerous it is to do it, and whether it can be done. Li Xian found a piece of paper, drew a topographical map of the vicinity, and explained it in detail.
"We are now on the Lung Kwu Waterway between Lantau Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, and as for the British ships, they are anchored in the narrow bay between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
The Warren was supposed to be to the east of us, but when they saw that we had cleaned up the Vora Suspicion, they retreated, and it was expected that they would run back into the harbor.
I thought about it carefully, this harbor is only two or three kilometers wide, and as far as our warriors are concerned, we only need to breathe two or three times to pass through.
We went from the land to the north of Hong Kong Island, then dived to the vicinity of the Warren, and then climbed up, and there was a high probability that we would run to the Warren without knowing it.
We captured a lot of British military uniforms this time, put them on British clothes when we arrived on the ship, and then mixed into the cabin, found the powder magazine, and found a way to detonate it, so that we could sink the Warren, and it would not be too difficult. ”
Li Xian didn't seem to be very difficult to say, but the others listened to it but didn't know how to say it, a warship, there are at least hundreds of soldiers and sailors on it, although many of the people present also have third-order combat power, and they don't take ordinary people very seriously, but they can't completely ignore it.
"It's just, is it necessary to do this? If we want to return to Leizhou Island by land, then the Warren is no threat to us. Wang Jiuxuan asked strangely.
Although everyone is not afraid of taking risks, if it is a meaningless risk, it is better to avoid it.
"I'm not afraid that this warship will attack us, but I'm worried that I will go to Donghai Island and harm General Zhao Hu and others who stayed there.
If we can return to Donghai Island in advance, we will not be afraid of the British attacking in the past, and we will be able to choose the opportunity to go regardless of whether it is war or peace.
I am afraid that the British will use their troops quickly, and they will suffer losses on our side today, and tomorrow they will send the Warren with a few large ships to Donghai Island, and destroy Donghai Island while we are away.
There are only a few recruits there now, and they don't know what we've exposed yet, and I'm afraid they're going to suffer a lot. Li Xian said his real worries.
If Li Xian himself can rush back to Donghai Island in advance, everything is easy to say, but he is afraid that he will go back by land, and he will not go directly by water without the Warren.
Therefore, Li Xian must eliminate this possibility, and the best way is to strike first and sink the Warren.
According to the physical fitness of Li Xian, Wang Jiuxuan and others, it is still easy to dive from the Kowloon Peninsula to the bottom of the Hualun at night, and then use various means to climb up.
When they get on board, find a way to blow up the powder magazine and sink the Warren, even if they are discovered halfway, they just need to find a way to jump into the water, and there are so many Western masters who jump into the water and escape today, they should be able to do it.
So, it's a bit difficult and risky, but overall it's not particularly risky.
Li Xian said his thoughts, and everyone fell silent for a while, and after a while, Yang Tianming patted his thigh and stood up.
"It's a good idea, it's new, it's bold. Count me in, I'd like to see if I can sink a warship with just a few masters. Yang Tianming said.
"Count me in. Wang Jiuxuan, Qiao Daqing, Ling Huzhan and others also begged for battle, expressing their willingness to take risks.
However, it was not good to have too many people, so in the end, it was decided that Li Xian, Yang Tianming, Wang Jiuxuan, and Qiao Daqing and other four people would get on the boat, and several other warriors would meet on the shore of the Kowloon Peninsula.
The few people present were all action-oriented, so they immediately set off, and as for the affairs here, they could just be handled by the people who stayed behind.
At this time, night was gradually coming, and Li Xian took a few people to run from the west side to the east side of the southern part of the Kowloon Peninsula.
The crowd took a closer look at the shore and found that the Warren had indeed returned to this harbor, where it was anchoring and anchoring, and many of the merchant ships that had previously participated in the siege were also in what would later be known as Victoria Harbour.
Li Xian and the other four wore black water and went into the water, took out oiled paper, wrapped some things that could be used, and then put them in leather bags and hid them, so as not to get wet.
Then, four men went into the water and dived to the Warren with oil-paper bags, while the others stood guard on the shore.
Fortunately, the vigilance here is not as strict as imagined, although there are several small boats patrolling back and forth on the sea, but with the martial arts and alertness of the four people, they can be detected in advance and dive into the water to avoid it.
All of them are martial artists with high martial arts, and their breathing is much longer than that of ordinary people, and they dive for five to ten minutes in one breath, which is very easy, and it is not difficult to deal with these patrol boats at all.
After the Warren was dismounted, everyone hid in the shadows at the stern of the warship, and then took out the large dagger in the leather bag and inserted it into the wooden hull as a place to borrow strength.
Then, continue to stick these daggers up one by one to make a simple ladder for people to climb.
If ordinary people do this kind of thing, even well-trained special forces will have a hard time, but the physical fitness of a few people present is far above the so-called king of soldiers, and they have the assistance of internal strength, true qi and light skills, so it is extremely easy to do.
Sure enough, the best thing for top martial artists to do is special operations.
Li Xian was the first to climb up, and then carefully observed, and after confirming the position of the open and dark posts on the warship, he motioned for the others to climb up.
After all, it was a warship, and there were five or six people standing guard at night, which was much more rigorous than a merchant ship with lax discipline.
When everyone came up, find a place where these sentry posts could not see, put back the clothes of the British soldiers, put on fake beards, and smear black ash on their faces, the first stage of the task was successfully completed.
This camouflage, if it is during the day, no one can fool it, I just hope that these British people can't see it clearly at night.
Taking out the air pistol and revolver equipment from the leather bag, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even if they were exposed, they would have the strength to fight, at least until they jumped into the water and escaped.
Li Xian touched the wooden door that entered the bottom warehouse and entered silently, only to see that it was very dim inside, and a glass lantern was placed more than ten meters apart, which was enough to ensure that he would not be easily exposed.
Li Xian took a rough look at it, and felt that the internal structure of this ship should be similar to that of the Vora Suspicion, so he couldn't help but nodded, if so, it would save a lot of trouble.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Li Xian did not continue to walk in, but turned around and came out of the cabin again.
In the eyes of others, Li Xian is an ordinary British soldier who came out of the bottom warehouse, and no one will suspect him.
