Chapter 112 Changes
"There are many big ships in the East China Sea Alliance. If they are willing to borrow a ship, Cui Hailong said only half of his words. He was not a fool present, so he didn't need to say much.
Cui Hailong stood up at this time not to help the officials present, but to have his little plan. In order to conquer Lingzhou, the large ships of Canghai Alliance were basically transferred to Ninghai Port and were basically burned out last night. Although some other ports had some ships, most of them were old ships and small boats, which were heavy losses. Cui Hailong was heartbroken. Originally, he led the brothers of Canghai Alliance to surrender to the court just to use the power of the court to deal with the Haisha Gang of the Brotherhood. It would be fine if the court was respectful to the people of Canghai Alliance. If he had bad intentions, he secretly used bad things and ordered them at will, he would be a pirate again.
Now that the war has not yet begun, the ship has almost been burned clean. Not to mention dealing with the Sea Shark Gang or the Brotherhood, I can't even get out of the sea without a ship, and I still act as a pirate! Cui Hailong felt very angry. He was a vengeful person and would not give up until he avenged his revenge. He immediately made up his mind and took advantage of the power of the court to get some ships before talking about it, and then he could kill the East China Sea Alliance.
After hearing Cui Hailong's brief mention, the officials and generals present were all lit up, and they suddenly realized that the East China Sea Alliance also had some background forces or had a good relationship with them. At this time, it was the only life-saving straw. They didn't care about anything else. With the righteousness of the court to wipe out the rebels, the East China Sea Alliance had to accept it even if it refused.
There was a solution, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some officials immediately analyzed some clues from the incident: "The Brotherhood will take advantage of our unpreparedness to burn the warships during the New Year holiday. It must be a desperate attempt. Without any tricks, they must be afraid of our army. As long as we get the ships, once the army arrives in Lingzhou, they will definitely make contributions and eliminate the Brotherhood's rebels!"
This sentence is purely unfounded speculation. At this moment, no one cares about it. At this time, we need to boost morale and boost confidence.
Not to mention that these civil servants and generals wrote memorials in private and criticized each other in the memorials. On the surface, they were working together and working together, and they all worked hard. In any case, they would teach the Lingzhou Brotherhood a lesson and be bullied by the brotherhood boys. Otherwise, they would be frustrated to death if they were punished by the court.
A group of generals brought some soldiers and came to the door directly, and said a few words, using both soft and hard, forcing the ships of the East China Sea Alliance, Longjiang Association and other gangs. In a few days, except for the large ships like the previous naval giant ships, the number of ships collected was more than the burned ships. Not only the ships, but also the people asked the big families in Yazhou to serve some food and money. The previous fires even burned out the food and supplies on the ship. The court's allocation was no longer possible. They could only try to make up for it themselves. They could not fight on their own, right?
The wreckage of the burned ships is still being cleaned up, and the new ships are already densely arranged outside Ninghai Port. Everything seems to have returned to its original track. Officials and generals are preparing to go on the expedition in a few days to complete what they could only do in a month or two.
However, what they didn't know was that Li Haichao, the leader of the Yinghai Gang, had secretly sent Wu Tiexun to report to the Brotherhood. Li Haichao's move wanted to establish some relationship with the Brotherhood. The Ninghai Port fire spread throughout Yazhou and the sea in one day. He saw the power of the Brotherhood, and it would be no harm to have some relationship. Li Haichao's main focus was revenge. He was hit by someone, forced to conquer ships, and seized some weapons, money, etc. No one would be happy. But after all, he was a member of the court, so he couldn't deal with it openly, and he only hoped that the Brotherhood could help clean up.
Li Haichao Wu Tiexing took a boat to Lingzhou, and met the Brotherhood ship halfway, but Xiao Tianlei and his brothers and the members of the Sea Shark Gang were sweeping the pirate nests of the Canghai Alliance. Although most of the warships in Ninghai Port were burned down, the matter was not over. There were still many ships in the Canghai Alliance. Xiao Tianlei planned to catch them all in one go. This time, except for the brothers who stayed in Lingzhou, almost all of Xiao Tianlei's brothers went into battle. He simply destroyed the Canghai Alliance in one breath and made the sea truly the world of the Sea Shark Gang.
"Ha, these guys are not giving up!" After hearing Wu Tiexing's statement, Xiao Tianlei was not very surprised.
"Captain Xiao, I think you'd better go back to Lingzhou soon. This time those people are determined to capture Lingzhou!" Wu Tiexun advised. As far as he saw, the Sea Shark Gang under the Brotherhood had only dozens of ships. How could he confront the army of thousands of ships?
In the private chat system, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers were also discussing that there were more than one plan to deal with the imperial court's conquest. If they were to burn ships, they would probably not succeed. Although there were few ships on their own, the Brotherhood's gunship was fast and had long-range attacks, but the other party did not. Without those giant ships, the pressure was not great. They could fly kites and put them in Lingzhou. If nothing unexpected happened, they might be able to kill these guys. Of course, the premise was that the ammunition supply could keep up. When Xiao Tianlei thought of this, he would scratch his head and make gunpowder and shells, and he would have to use manpower and material resources. When the cannon fired, he would have a lot of money. Even if the Brotherhood had a big business now, he could not always do a loss-making business, otherwise he would be consumed to death sooner or later.
Therefore, Xiao Tianlei looked relaxed and shook his head, "I don't need to go back to Lingzhou for the time being. Prepare. This time, only new gunships will be dispatched. Let's go to Ninghai and have a fight with them openly! Otherwise, I really think we're easy to bully!"
"Ah!!!" Wu Tiexing was shocked. He really didn't expect Xiao Tianlei to make such a decision and look very sure. Does he have any trump card? He, an outsider, didn't know the secret of the Brotherhood, could only bury his doubts in his stomach and follow the Brotherhood's fleet towards Ninghai.
On the day when the fleet arrived in Ninghai, it happened that the army of Ninghai Port was preparing to set off. Many people gathered on the Ninghai Port wharf, and a grand sacrificial ceremony was being held. The monk and Taoist priest recited the scriptures for several days, slaughtered three animals, prayed to the sea god, and God's blessing.
"God protects you and eliminates the rebels!"
After chanting the prayer, the officials of the main priest burned the prayer and the cannons roared. When the cannons fell, the warship would set sail. However, after a while, the cannons were still ringing. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, looking at the place where the cannons were no longer set. Following the sound, they were shocked immediately. What was going on?
I saw some ships outside the fleet emitting fire and smoke. The soldiers above were panicked and some soldiers jumped into the ship to escape.
Boom boom boom boom!
With a few more guns, the cabin of a ship exploded. Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came. They saw that some ships were lined up on the sea, not many, but also thirty or forty. They could be called a big ship with only one shape and sails. The ships were arranged horizontally, accompanied by the roar, and some blue smoke came out of the ship. The warriors with good eyes could see black spots shot out from these ships. The black spots fell on the ship and the ship was broken, and the water columns rose in the sea.
The officials and generals looked ugly one by one. They all knew that the Brotherhood had artillery in their hands. Cui Hailong also mentioned to them that the Brotherhood had artillery installed on the ship of the Sea Shark Gang. The situation was obvious at this time. It was the Brotherhood who came to the door! The setting fire was sneaky that day, but today it was open and chose the moment when the army was about to go to war. This was a slap in the face! The bullying came to the door! This is!
"Zhu Zi, how dare you insult me like this!" Some civil servants were so angry that they almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
Other civil servants and generals also jumped their feet and cursed, but they cursed for a few words. They were also secretly surprised when facing the shells fired from afar. The artillery was as powerful as the rumors. However, those warships bombarded from afar, but their side did not have the corresponding counterattack methods. What should we do? Some generals and officials couldn't help but feel a strong sense of humiliation in their hearts and couldn't help but be angry.
Not only those officials and generals, when the people understood the situation, they felt ashamed of the people of Daxia. The great Xia and great country were bullied by a group of thieves. For a moment, the crowd was excited and abused at the warships on the sea.
"Despicable and shameless! Fighting from afar is what a skill!"
"I have a real sword and a gun!"
"The brothers are all unplanned, they only know how to play some sneaky tricks!"
Unfortunately, the words of cursing cannot cause substantial harm. No matter how they scolded them, the warships fired shells slowly. They could only watch the ships get shot, but they were unable to fight back. They were very lively before, and soon fell into silence. Everyone stared at the officials and generals. What should they do if they were fucked?
"They only have more than 30 battles, and we have more than 1,000 ships. We are afraid that they will not succeed. Let's go together and kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill!"
The cheers were thunderous. At this moment, the soldiers were full of morale because of their anger. The officials and generals were overjoyed and called for the morale of the army to be available and waving the flag. Some clutches first attacked and charged towards the warships of the Brotherhood. They also saw that the Brotherhood's artillery had limited accuracy and the ships in motion might not be able to hit.
Hundreds of fast ships advanced towards artillery fire and only took a quarter of an hour to reach. As these fast ships approached, one after another was shot one after another. However, more than half of the fast ships were not damaged and continued to approach. At this time, the Brotherhood warships began to retreat, shooting and retreating.
"mean!"
Even fools can see that these warships of the Brotherhood rely on their ability to attack long-rangely and bully the ships on their own.
"Strike, continue to attack!"
The flag was dancing, and other ships attacked one after another, and hundreds of them rushed forward. With a huge number of differences, the Brotherhood would be surrounded by these ships, which was absolutely unlucky.
However, that was what the officials, generals and the people expected to see. The actual situation was far less than expected. The Brotherhood ships were faster and more flexible, which led the ships on the navy to bend and kept a certain distance. As time went by, more and more ships were shot, which usually caused some damage, casualties, and more unlucky ones to sink, either lost their motivation or caught fire. The losses were actually not much. However, this was not a solution. They could only be beaten, not fight back, and they could not fight back, causing great psychological pressure. The high morale had quickly subsided, and the soldiers gradually began to fear and hesitate.
Originally, some military generals and warriors tried to approach the Brotherhood warship, but Cui Hailong said he would stop it: "In addition to shooting out a single projectile, the cannon can also shoot out many small iron pieces. It is extremely powerful and difficult to stop with manpower."
After observing for a while, everyone also came up with some strategies. They wanted to board the Brotherhood warship, either from underwater or wait for the ship to get closer. However, the Brotherhood warships cooperated with each other and were like a whole. Every time a ship seemed to approach a warship, the artillery of other warships was a trap!
"Brothers will be so cunning. This is an extremely clever formation. If you rush over rashly, you will only fall into a trap. You must try to destroy this formation!"
The task of destroying the formation of the Brotherhood warship fell into Cui Hailong's hands, because only he had this ability, the sea dragon of the Sea Dragon Gang was not a secret for many people. Cui Hailong actually wanted to send the sea dragon, but he could not do his best. After getting some promises, he asked the people who called to control the sea dragon to summon the sea dragon to fight. This time, Cui Hailong learned the lesson from the last time and planned to start with the smaller warships and pack up one by one.
Then, Cui Hailong and a group of insiders waited to watch the show, but after a while, there was no movement at all.
"What's going on?" Cui Hailong was puzzled and sent someone to ask. He learned that the sea dragon had already attacked, but he was not sure what obstacles were.
Cui Hailong couldn't think of anything that could hinder the sea dragon, nor could he see it. After looking at the sea for a while, he only saw some gushing waves. He was puzzled and heard a loud bang, and a huge wave suddenly rose from the sea. Among the snow-white waves, a sea dragon and a big shark were churning.
Cui Hailong was a little stunned and understood that the reason why the sea dragon did not act according to the order was because of the obstacles of this big shark. However, Cui Hailong also saw clearly that the size of this big shark was not as big shark as that of the sea dragon, so he quickly ordered the sea dragon to get rid of the shark's entanglement or lead the shark to the Brotherhood warship.
Cui Hailong's idea was good, but it failed to realize that the sea dragon and the shark had vacated the sea several times. However, the warships of the Brotherhood avoided it. Instead, the warships of the navy were affected. A group of navy soldiers were frightened and frightened. It was so scary to live on the same battlefield with these two monsters! In order to avoid the two strange beasts, some warships collided with other warships.
Cui Hailong had no choice but to wait for the big sea dragon and the big shark to decide the outcome. However, at this time, the big warship of the Brotherhood attracted the attention of many people. A big wild boar jumped off the boat and ran wildly on the sea surface, heading straight towards a ship. Many people were a little puzzled. However, when Cui Hailong saw the direction of the big wild boar running, Cui Hailong felt a sudden heart and shouted: "Protect Uncle Jiao!"
Xiao Tianlei rode on the back of the steel mane and ran at high speed. His target was a person on a ship. That person was the person who controlled the sea dragon. After the sea dragon appeared, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers were looking for the person who controlled the sea dragon. Finally, Lin Xiao found this person. Lin Xiao had a bloodthirsty werewolf template, and his hearing was different from that of ordinary people. He could hear some sounds that were difficult for ordinary people to hear. After the sea dragon appeared, he heard a strange flute sound. Following the sound, Xiao Tianlei found the target.
When Cui Hailong gave the order, it was too late. Xiao Tianlei had already rushed to the vicinity of the ship. He jumped onto the deck with a leap. The crescent moon gun penetrated the chest of a middle-aged man and lifted it up. The bone flute in the man's hand fell into Xiao Tianlei's hand, and he did not stop. The crescent moon gun swept away the few people on the deck and jumped into the sea again.
"Boy, don't go!"
Some generals didn't know the reason, but when they saw Xiao Tianlei approaching, they felt that it was an opportunity, and they rode their war horses and chased them on the sea.
Xiao Tianlei did not entangle with these people and ran back. At this time, the key was to stop some ships and warriors. Generals approached the warships and used dozens of warships to deal with thousands. No matter how well they cooperated, there would be omissions. After all, the number of artillery was limited, and Xiao Tianlei was ready to evacuate immediately. At this time, Xiao Tianlei received good news. Without the sound of the man's flute, the sea dragon did not fight with Daya and wandered around on his own. Xiao Tianlei immediately ordered Daya to attack the ships trying to approach his own warships.
With a rumbling sound, a big tooth hit a ship almost overturned, and a big hole was broken on one side.
One after another, several warships were hit by big teeth. Seeing this, the navy side didn't know that the battle between the two strange beasts was probably the big sharks that won! They wanted to rush to the Brotherhood warship, but they just looked at the big sharks, and they were all worried. Generals like Xue Dingfang also looked embarrassed. He was not afraid of fighting on land, but they couldn't perform on the water, and there were also strange beasts in the water mixed together.
The attack of the navy was stagnant for a moment. At this time, Xiao Tianlei's other brothers knew that Daya had come out and wanted to fight on the sea. So Daya approached the Disaster and other warships, picked up Xiao Tianbao, Zheng Biao and others, and stood on Daya's back. Each of them carried some backpacks, carried their own weapons, took out a cloth cover, put the dorsal fin of Daya, grabbed some ropes on it, and rushed to the nearby warships, generals and warriors.
Seeing the boys all had a smirk on their faces, the warriors and generals were frightened and frightened, running back faster than before.
Most people could not escape the big teeth. Zheng Biao and his friends waved their weapons, chopped over one by one along the way, and rushed into the vicinity of the ships. When they hit the big teeth, Xiao Tianbao and others took out the bombs from their backpacks and threw them on the boat, or used their weapons to make a hole in the side of the ship. After all, they went straight to the next place.
"These guys are all crazy!"
Originally, the navy had formed a half-encirclement at this time, not far from the Brotherhood warships. However, after doing so, the situation that was finally created collapsed, and everyone was worried about whether they would be attacked by these boys riding sharks, and some ships even stopped privately. For Xiao Tianlei and others, the situation was very good, but at this time, the cannon bore overheated and it was difficult to shoot again. Xiao Tianlei was simply the result of the battle today, so he ordered the evacuation directly.
The navy side could only leave by the Brotherhood warship. If there were not much losses in this battle, it would actually be, but it did not cause any damage to the Brotherhood. How to fight in the future? It would take more than ten days to sail to Lingzhou. God knows what else would you encounter if you were beaten like this every day. It would probably be bad. More importantly, the army was completely deprived of morale. How could you fight? It could not be fought!
The navy that went on the expedition returned to Ninghai Port in shame. The next day, a group of civil servants and generals argued whether to continue the expedition. The warships of the Brotherhood came again, but the navy did not dare to fight. The brotherhood bombed the navy's ships and left.
Faced with such a situation, a group of officials responsible for the conquest and generals jointly reported the matter to the court. It was not because they were not doing their best, but because their brothers would be sinister and cunning, with endless means and advanced weapons. In short, please make decisions between the court and the emperor.
After receiving this memorial, Emperor Yongchang and the ministers in the court were shocked. This time the conquest of Lingzhou was even worse than the last time. He was in a mess before he officially embarked on the expedition. However, he became more determined to destroy the brotherhood and to wipe out the brotherhood. He would be wiped out anyway, otherwise it would be more difficult to curb the war in the north. He simply stopped the war in the northern border and planned to mobilize various armies, elite soldiers and generals to destroy the brotherhood. However, before the decree was issued, warnings came from several states southeast of Daxia. The Zoroastrian rebelled. In a few days, hundreds of thousands of religious people gathered, and the people were swept. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
