...

The crowd was extremely restless. The Annan people who were instilled with populist ideas could not accept that their navy was easily defeated. The sound of calling for a decisive battle to go out to sea was taken over one wave after another, which made Ruan Wenhe breathlessly.

After a long time, Ruan Wenhe made up his mind and said to his personal soldiers: "Tell them that this general will definitely defeat the Zhongyuan Navy and ask them to go back first and stop making trouble!"

After saying that, he turned around and left...

The noisy outside slowly subsided after receiving the assurance of Ruan Wenhe.

The worries of civil unrest were temporarily lifted, but Ruan Wenhe was still helpless about how to defeat the Han navy. He kept paced back and forth in the barracks, his face full of sorrow.

"We must find a way to get close to the enemy ship, otherwise we will have no chance of winning this battle!"

Ruan Wenhe clapped her face, as if she had a conspiracy, and immediately recruited officials at all levels of the navy to start planning a counterattack against the Han army...

The next morning, at dawn, more than 500 Annan Navy officers and soldiers stood in front of the port, each holding a bowl full of wine, with a resolute expression on his face.

Ruan Wenhe also came to everyone with a wine bowl and said loudly: "My brothers, the enemy's ships invaded our Annan territory, and Xintan was in danger.

You also saw the battle yesterday. Their methods were despicable and shameless, and they would only hide in their own ships and dare not fight. Now I need you to be loyal to Annan and the king.

Use your lifelong skills to sank the enemy ships. I believe that there is no more water-consciousness in this world than you. As long as you poke a hole in the bottom cabin of the giant ship, I dare say that we will win this battle.

The most brave and fearless warriors in Annan Kingdom, are you confident of completing such a feat and becoming the heroes of the entire Annan Kingdom!?”

“Yes~~”

"Kill all the dogs in the Central Plains!"

"Kill all the people in the Central Plains!"

The sound of wolf howling echoed in the port, and every soldier's face was full of hideousness and greed, and he had long lost the rationality he should have as a human being...

Ruan Wenhe nodded, raised the wine bowl and said loudly: "Soldiers! Say our heroes away~"

After saying that, he took the lead in drinking the wine in the bowl with his neck and drank it all, and then threw the empty bowl face to the ground heavily...

The other Annan officers and soldiers who were preparing to go to the expedition also drank the wine in the bowl and smashed the empty bowl to pieces.

The entire Hongdu Port is full of a tragic atmosphere...

"Anchor~~"

“Out of the port ~~”

Inspired by Ruan Wenhe, five hundred navy soldiers stepped onto the clutch on the expedition. As the iron chains sank into the water on the sea, twenty clutchs slowly sailed out of Hongdu Port and advanced towards "victory".

"May God bless me Annan!"

Looking at the ship gradually fading away, Nguyen Van He looked up at the sky, his eyes full of hope.

...

"General Gan, the enemy has left the port!"

On the flagship of the Yangfan, Han soldiers who found the movement of the Annan Navy from the lookout platform hurriedly passed the news to Gan Ziba to know.

Upon hearing this, Gan Ziba hurriedly stepped out of the cabin, stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sea with a look-up mirror. After seeing the number of enemy ships, he couldn't help but frown.

He put down his mirror and said in a puzzled voice: "I dare to leave the port if there are only twenty broken ships? It seems that these stupid x people have not been beaten enough. We will pass on our military orders! We will prepare for crossbows, and we will beat me hard when the enemy ships approach!"

Zheng Sanbao, who was accompanying him, hurriedly said to Gan Ziba: "General Gan, if his subordinates expected it was not bad, there must be frogmen who were familiar with water on the twenty clutches. They used the twenty clutches as bait to cover the frogmen to come and dig the boat!"

"Carry a boat?" Gan Ziba narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and was stunned for a while and couldn't help but sneer, "Do they think my uncle's ship will rot like their rotten wood?"

Due to the extremely developed iron smelting industry in the Han Dynasty, the steel production in the Far East alone has reached an astonishing annual output of 120,000 tons, accounting for almost 70% of the entire Central Plains.

In addition to making agricultural tools and weapons, sufficient iron materials have also begun to carry out large-scale improvements based on the original weapons. For example, almost every warship of the Han Dynasty Navy was covered with a thick layer of iron to prevent the hull from soaking in the sea for a long time.

Since the software is not good, then work hard on the hardware. Liu Ce also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It was impossible to make all naval soldiers a sea eagle in a very short time. He could only use his basic strength to crush the enemy within his ability.

After comprehensive improvements, each of these ships, known as "iron-armored ships", can handle small-scale combat capabilities alone, unless the fleet commander's mind is in the mind...

Therefore, when Gan Ziba heard that Annan Navy wanted to copy his frogman's ship-driving technique yesterday, he was simply laughing at the big teeth. The thick and sturdy iron sheet of the bottom cabin of the Sail could make the group of people chisel for a year and a half, but he was still considering not breathing halfway.

Of course, Gan Ziba is not a kind man and a woman. Although he is very confident about the safety of this sail battleship, it is impossible for him to accept it if he lets the stinky fish and rotten shrimps make trouble. After all, he has regarded this battleship as his ban.

"As long as the original plan, continue to aim all the crossbows at the enemy ships, and as long as they enter the range, you will be desperate to say hello, and you don't have to save face for me!" Gan Ziba ordered with a arrogant look on his face, "As for those guys who want to make a bad intention to do something about me, hehehe..."

Seeing a treacherous smile on the corner of Gan Ziba's mouth, Zheng Sanbao felt his scalp numb...

...

"Into the water!"

"Pubo, pubo, pubo..."

Within a hundred steps, the Han warships began to project Shibawan crossbow spear as expected. The generals of Annan ships, who thought that the plan to lure the enemy was effective, hurriedly ordered the frogmen to dive in the water. As the waves of falling into the water began, the clutches had already completed their mission.

Chen Luosen is an authentic Annan native. He joined the Annan Navy with hatred for the people of the Central Plains. His thoughts every day were to kill all the people of the Central Plains to serve Wang En.

Although this inexplicable hatred appeared nowhere to be investigated...

This time, he joined the suicide squad and took a huge risk to drill a ship. He was the first to take the initiative to ask for battle, and finally got his wish and became one of the five hundred frogmen.

He has been familiar with water since childhood and is now trapped under the sea, wandering with his companions around him, constantly shaking his flexible legs and slowly approaching the Han warship.

“Hurry…”

Suddenly, a stream of water rose from the sea, which attracted his vision. The violent fluctuations of the sea water made him lose balance.

After finally stabilizing his body, he saw two companions who were originally sliding on the left, who had already reached the sky with their feet facing away, stopped swimming, and floated in the sea.

The violent turmoil just now was caused by more than ten projectiles shot from the crossbow cannons smashing into the sea, two of which just hit their bodies...

"call……"

Chen Luosen quickly floated out of the sea, took a deep breath, and did not care about falling arrows above his head, and buried his body in the sea again. For his own safety, he was four or five meters deep this time, barely using the hazy light in his vision to continue moving forward.

Only a hundred steps away from the first battleship, at least seventy or eighty frogmen were buried at the bottom of the sea due to various factors, but Chen Luosen felt that everything was worth it. After all, he was fighting for Annan.

Seeing that the first ship was within reach, Chen Luosen and the frogmen around him had already taken out a sharp-cone hammer to drill the ship, variables happened again.

Chen Luosen only felt something seemed to be spilling down on the sea, rippling.

At first he and his companions didn't care, but the next moment, a dazzling red light shone the dark environment they were in like daylight.

Chen Luosen held his breath and looked up, his eyes rolling round, almost unable to hold it in one breath.

I saw that the burning flames were covered with burning flames...

“Ah~~”

Many frogmen relaxed in a breath of tension and struggled to float out of the sea, but as they rushed out of the sea, they were immediately wrapped in flames, and then quickly retreated back to the sea.

"The people of Central Plains raised by this group of bitches are so shameless!"

Chen Luosen cursed in anger in his heart, found a gap in flames to float on the Shanghai surface and changed his breath, sneaked into the sea again, intending to continue chiseling the ship.

The other frogmen did the same. Although they didn't understand why the flames ignited on the sea, they would be safe as long as they hid in the sea.

Little did they know that this idea completely made the tragedy happen.

Because the fire burning on the sea surface is not ordinary tincture oil, but stone fat, in other words, oil!

Do you remember that Wu Zhongzhen went outside the border to look for new medicinal materials? By chance, he found this oil that could flow from the cracks of the stones near the red banner. Out of curiosity, he inquired about the surrounding tribes on the grounds of treating herders.

Although most of the Monroe people on the grassland have no favoritism or even hostile attitudes towards the people of the Central Plains, they are always very courteous to doctors like Wu Zhongzhen.

After Wu Zhongzhen took care of some cold skin diseases for almost herders, they enthusiastically told Wu Zhongzhen that these lipos are everywhere in the nearby Gobi, but no one knew what the use of this thing was. At most, it was just used to scrub the body when there was a shortage of water.

Wu Zhongzhen, who was deeply influenced by Liu Ce's new thoughts, felt that this stone fat was definitely not as simple as the herdsmen said. He immediately collected some samples and returned to the pass to inform Liu Ce.

As a result, after getting the stone fat sample sent by Wu Zhongzhen, Liu Ce was excited to report to the court to give Wu Zhongzhen a marquis to play with it.

According to Liu Ce, this stone fat should be the crude oil that was familiar to the previous life. As long as it is properly handled, it will cause earth-shaking changes in the governance.

So, Liu Ce asked Wei Ji to buy it at a low price in the name of seizing stone fat as dyeing cloth raw materials, which harmed the herdsmen on the grassland.

At the same time Wei Ji sent this news, countless herdsmen felt that this was a pie that fell from the sky. They collected stone fat like crazy and sent them to the outside of Xuanwu Pass, and then exchanged for the food they thought they had earned blood and necessities of daily necessities.

After all, everyone thinks that people who are stupid and have a lot of money are rare, so when will they not be punished?

Regarding the stone fat sent to the herdsmen, Liu Ce initially gave a barrel of ten-ciete Hanling Tongbao (fifty kilograms). In the end, in order to prevent Wang Ting from becoming suspicious, he lowered the price to eight-cietete buckets, giving people a feeling of whether they like to sell it or not.

For a moment, the entire grassland was boiling. In addition to grazing every day, the herdsmen of various banners collected lime overnight to increase their economic income, and even many nobles participated.

Of course, after getting the stone fat, there is still a lot of refining work to be done. After several months of hard work, when the first barrel of refined oil was placed in front of Liu Ce to start the experiment, Liu Ce was surprised to find that in addition to burning quickly, there was another difference between the stone fat in this other world.

That is, the temperature is abnormally high. A bucket of oil can turn half of the water into boiling and hot in just one minute. A pig is thrown in the water and struggles for a few times and is directly scalded to death!

Now, these Annan sailors are the pig that is about to be scalded to death.
Chapter completed!
