Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As soon as Zhang Nian pulled out a crossbow arrow stuck on the board in front of him, he had been harassed by those hateful awning boats all day and night.  ¡ÀThe guards on the ship were exhausted. These guys kept harassing them day and night.  They followed the Yun family's fleet like tarsal maggots, but these small boats moved so quickly that it was very annoying.  "Master, they want to tire us out for a sneak attack at night. They are harassing us like this, and we have to protect two injured merchant ships. It's not going fast! Why don't we pick up the brothers on the merchant ship, and then burn the merchant ship and let's get rid of it first?  It¡¯s important.¡± The words of the captain of the guard should be correct, but Zhang Nianyi failed to adopt them.  The tea in Wuyi Mountain is only produced once a year. With the war going on, it is still unknown whether the tea can be harvested tomorrow.  These teas must be paid as tribute to the Marquis. Even if there are all kinds of difficulties, he must keep these hard-won white teas. How can he burn them easily.  "Protect the merchant ship and repair it as soon as possible. No matter what, we must protect these two ships of cargo and sail out of Poyang Lake." Zhang Nianyi believed that these guards under him were just water bandits in Poyang Lake.  What they are driving are just awning boats, so they only need to be on guard.  No matter what, he couldn't do anything to his five-tooth ship.  But he was wrong, it was ten miles away from him.  Mr. Gongsun was sitting on a warship that was no less than a five-toothed ship. There were three similar warships beside him.  These warships were allocated to him by King Dongou for plunder, and the navy on board were also the elite navy of Dongou Kingdom.  "We have been harassing for a day and a night. After this day and night, we can attack at night." said a guy with fair skin and a Confucian shirt who looked like a dog-headed military advisor waving Yushan.  "Well, if we attack four of our ships at night, we will definitely be able to intercept the Yun family. Those people will fight to the death to keep these two ships and refuse to burn the ships and escape. It can be seen that the goods of these two ships must be extremely valuable. As long as we rob  I'm afraid it will be a lot easier if we get these two ships of goods." Ao Long, the navy general who was traveling with him, was forced hard by King Dongou.  Every month, we have to deal with the share pressed down by King Dongou.  It seemed that these two merchant ships were well-oiled, so he encouraged Mr. Gongsun to rob these two ships.  "I always feel something is wrong. If it is a large amount of goods, it seems that the draft of the merchant ship is not very deep? But I just don't understand why the Yun family wants to protect those two ships." Mr. Gongsun was a little suspicious. According to his original intention,  He had no intention of confronting the Yun family.  It's better to hide as far away from such a ruthless person as possible, but King Dongou's task is too heavy.  In addition, the naval generals repeatedly encouraged him.  Only then did he take the risk to attack the Yun family fleet.  "The shallow draft may mean there is a lot of dry goods. I like it best. It is easy to pick up, unlike those bulky goods. It takes a lot of effort to carry it on the lake, and you have to drag it back to the port." Ao Long was very excited, he didn't care about the clouds  Home is not home.  As long as he can complete the task quota of King Dongou, he will be promoted to an official rank just around the corner.  Which general doesn't have mountains of corpses under his feet? If you want to be rich, you have to kill people.  What's wrong with the Yun family? They don't have two legs supporting one belly.  If your head is cut off, you will die. I'm afraid of a ball.  It's just that the weapons are sharper.  The armor is stronger.  I have a lot of people, and I have been harassing you for a day and a night, but I am afraid that you tired soldiers will fail.  "General Ao is right. Now it seems that the Yun family has no intention of intervening in the dispute between Dongou and Minyue. Their power in the south of the Yangtze River is also far away in Yueyang on the bank of Dongting Lake. Just their desire to shake Dongou is like a fly shaking a tree. Mr.  Don't be too afraid of them, as long as we leave no trace behind, the devil will know who did it." The dog-headed military advisor was a down-and-out scholar from the south of the Yangtze River.  He sneaked into the country of Dongou and worked as a staff member, and was also highly appreciated by the king of Dongou.  He and Ao Long were both civil and military.  They were all sent by King Dongou to assist Mr. Gongsun.  Mr. Gongsun looked at the two singing and harmonizing, feeling a little helpless in his heart.  After all, I don¡¯t believe in myself.  The existence of these two people made him empty.  Well, since you're going to mess with the person you can't afford to mess with.  I just watched, and if I couldn't do it, I just ran away.  It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t run away before. I wasn¡¯t driven to Jiangnan by the Yun family in Chang¡¯an!  "Since the two generals have said it, let's follow what the two generals said. However, the attack time must be arranged at dawn. The harassment lasted for a day and two nights. Dawn is when people are most sleepy. Only at that time can we  Achieve unexpected results. "Mr. Gongsun is a veteran robber, and he used to be a famous water bandit on the Yangtze River.  Even the weapon is equipped with a pair of water spikes, and its underwater skills are really impressive.  If this were not the case, King Dongou would not have sent him to preside over the robbery of the fleet.  "Yes! Sir, what you said makes sense. People are indeed sleepiest at dawn. Let's attack from east to west, so that when the sun comes out, the Han army can only face the sun, which is beneficial to us." Ao Long obviously didn't give in vain.  He immediately proposed his own plan.  "Yes, use fire ships to attack the warships first. As long as the two five-tooth warships and two merchant ships are eliminated,How are they the opponents of our four big ships?  "The dog-headed strategist added unhurriedly. A perfect robbery plan was freshly prepared. Mr. Gongsun sighed secretly when he looked at the two guys whose eyes were so excited that they didn't know how powerful the Yun family was.  The only solution was to accompany them for a while, but now he had to rely on the King of Dongou. The helpless Mr. Gongsun ordered: "The fleet will turn to the east, and the black-topped ships will harass the Yun family's fleet tonight.  "The bright moon hangs in the sky, which makes Zhang Nianyi feel more relieved. There seem to be more awning boats on the lake. These guys are harassing each other in groups of three and five. They even keep making noises with gongs and drums, and the lake is full of noise.  It was so lively that it was like going to a market. From time to time, rockets and fireships tried to get into the warship. The guards of the Yun family had to keep an eye on it. If the fireships hit the ship, they would lose a layer of skin.  Fireship discovered.  "The lookout post's horrified cry came from the mast. Zhang Nianyi quickly ordered the guards on the port side to launch rockets. Some strong people grabbed the poles and were ready to prop up the approaching fire ship at any time. The fire ship was very conspicuous in the moonlight.  Because the hulls of these fire ships are wider, more firewood can be loaded inside, and the bows are equipped with rivets. As long as the rivets are wedged into the hull of the ship, it will be extremely difficult to get rid of it. This method has been very difficult since the Spring and Autumn Period.  It was popular in the south of the Yangtze River at that time. During the Warring States Period, the Chu State used this method to defeat the Qin Navy. Nowadays, the use of fire ships and counter-fire ships is the top priority in naval warfare. The fire ships quickly approached the port side, and the guards  He hurriedly lit the rocket with a torch. As soon as he saw the fire ship coming into range, he fired at it. Dozens of rockets were inserted into the fire ship like meteors. Generally speaking, the firewood on the fire ship was filled with a lot of firewood in advance.  If the fire ship is hit by a rocket, it will burn at a distance. As long as the people on the side of the ship hold the fire ship up with poles and let it burn up, there is something strange about the fire ship in front of you. Not only does it not cause fire when the rocket is shot.  Even the rocket seemed to be extinguished after falling into the water, which made Zhang Nian feel strange. Seeing that there were preparations on the Wu Ya ship, the fire boat turned around and sailed out of the range of the rocket.  The boat turned around, and the fire ship sailed out of the range of the rocket in almost no time. Zhang Nianyi gritted his teeth secretly, but there was nothing he could do about it. It turned out that these fire ships were loaded with firewood, but the firewood was all wet.  The firewood that has passed through the water will not burn easily. This is Mr. Gongsun's trick. The Yun family has no way of knowing whether the fire boat that rushed over has been soaked in oil or water.  They could only guard the two strings all night long, nervously launching rockets and preparing poles whenever a fire ship approached. Coupled with the noise of the gongs and drums of the awning boats all around, it was almost a dream for the guards of the Yun family.  For a day and two nights, the water bandits continued to harass the Yun family's fleet. Zhang Nian's eyes were red, but he couldn't figure out what to do with those awning boats.  It may be against your own five-toothed ship. Although the fire ship is powerful, it is not unbreakable. There are many large water tanks on the ship. Even if the fire ship is wedged against the big ship, it can still be extinguished by water.  Is it possible for a ship that can fight against the Five Tooth Ship? This is absolutely impossible. If there are such water bandits in Poyang Lake, King Dongou will destroy them first. Ou Zhenfu will not allow such a deterrent force to appear in his territory.  Zhang Nian spent a difficult night in doubt. When the sky showed a hint of fish belly white, the sound of gongs and drums on the lake gradually stopped, and no more fire ships harassed the Yun family's fleet. The lake fell into an eerie silence.  The awning boats all sailed to the shallow water. After a noisy night, the Yun family guards were a little uncomfortable with this strange silence. "Master, are the water bandits also tired?"  "The captain of the guard asked a little strangely. "Impossible, it must be some trick.  Let brothers be more vigilant!  "Zhang Nianyi felt something was wrong, but couldn't say anything. "Young Master, the brothers are all very tired.  I haven't slept a wink for two days and a half. Do you think we should let the brothers take turns to take a nap?  "The captain of the guard suggested helplessly. "Everyone is eager to look at Zhang Nianyi. They are all very sleepy. Their eyelids always close intentionally or unintentionally and then open quickly. People are not machines, as long as they are full.  If you drink enough, you can work indefinitely. The nerves of these guards have been stretched to the extreme, and they urgently need to relax. "Okay!  Leave a sentry post and take turns sleeping.  Pay attention to the movement on the lake.  "Under these longing eyes, Zhang Nianyi was helpless and could only succumb to human physiological desires. Not long after Zhang Nianyi's order was issued, there was a sound of snoring on the Five-Tooth Warship. The guards were really too tired.  Once the tense nerves relax, people will quickly fall asleep.(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
