From the time he got the news of the recruit's training to the time he set off, the time passed quickly, Shen Leng knew that what he had forced into his subordinates was still not enough, and he hoped that his people could have enough ability to protect themselves in dangerous situations, at least self-protection.

Last month, there were less than 300 recruits in total, and Wang Gendong was responsible for leading the team, which was a very simple task, and the water bandits to be suppressed were the water tiger Zhao Dengke in the upper reaches, and the scouts brought back the news that this group of water bandits was only more than 100 people, entrenched in a branch waterway of the Nanping River, and from time to time took advantage of the night to come out and plunder passing merchant ships.

Three Xiongniu warships sailed out of the water camp and went upstream, the Xiongniu warship is the medium-sized main warship of the Daning Naval Division, according to the size of the warship, the naval fleet is composed of four kinds of warships, the smallest is called Flying Fish, the smallest is more than 30 meters, and the medium-sized warships are divided into two kinds, one is called Xiongniu, which is 58 meters long, and the other is called the Iron Rhino, which is 50 meters long.

The difference between the bear bull and the iron rhino is that the bear bull can carry more soldiers, the hull is lighter, the speed is faster than the iron rhino, the iron rhino is shorter but the weight is almost twice that of the bear bull, it looks like an iron lump, it is used to impact the enemy fleet, and the number of soldiers loaded is only one-fifth of the bear bull.

The large warship in the naval division was called Wan Jun, and its length reached 80 meters.

In addition, there is also the flagship of the naval division, which has reached an astonishing 100 meters, which is the limit of shipbuilding in the Daning Anyang Dockyard, and I am afraid it is also the limit of wooden warships.

The flagship is called Kamui.

Xiong Niu is the warship with the largest number of sailors, almost on the first day of joining the sailors, every soldier began to be familiar with this kind of warship, the soldiers stood on the boat and looked around with different expressions, although this is not the first time to go out by boat, but the mood is different.

The warship that Shen Leng was on was the one at the beginning, and the regimental leader Wang Gendong was also on this ship.

After Wang Gendong made arrangements, he returned to the cabin, and his face changed as soon as he entered the door...... There was someone in the room that was supposed to belong to him.

Mu Xiaofeng, the deputy commander of the water division, glanced at Wang Gendong with a sneer: "You seem to have forgotten what to do." ”

Wang Gendong stood solemnly and saluted: "Meet the general." ”

"Good thing you remember that I was a general."

Mu Xiaofeng put his legs on the table: "The command of this experience is now taken over by me." ”

Wang Gendong looked directly into Mu Xiaofeng's eyes and said: "Lord Admiral's order is for me to lead this group of recruits to go through the training, and the lowly post has not received the order of Lord Admiral, and you will take over from the general, may I ask if Lord Admiral personally arranged it?" ”

"So what?"

Mu Xiaofeng said: "I am the deputy admiral of the water division, and I have the right to dispatch and control the training of the water division, this is the right that His Majesty has given the position of deputy admiral of the water division, do you mean that I must ask General Zhuang's permission to give you orders?" I'm afraid that General Zhuang won't think so. ”

Wang Gendong was speechless, because what Mu Xiaofeng said was not wrong.

Of course, the power of the deputy admiral of the water division is very great, and of course he can arrange scheduling for daily training, if he doesn't even have this authority, then this deputy admiral is too aggrieved, and it can even be said that it is useless.

"Humble ...... Humble obedience. ”

Wang Gendong felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

"Even if you know the current affairs, if you dare to say a word more, I will deal with you in accordance with Daning's military laws...... Now you go and convey the first order for me, the warship will travel another thirty miles and anchor at Hukoudu, and let Shen Leng take his ten-man team to find out the news for the brigade by land. ”

Or is it because of Shen Leng!

Wang Gendong's face kept changing, and his lips were almost bitten.

"General, if you take the land route, the speed will be much slower, so you will lose the meaning of surprise raiding the bandit camp, the scout should not be arranged like this, besides, Lord Admiral has already arranged for the scout team to set off yesterday to provide information along the way for the brigade, there is no need to ......"

"Do you believe it or not, I'll rip off your regimental uniform now, and then have people throw you into the Nanping River?"

Mu Xiaofeng said coldly: "I'll tell you one last time, I have this power...... Now immediately follow my orders and behead those who violate the order! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Gendong turned around and walked out of the room, the anger in his heart had almost burned into flames, he did have some opinions about Shen Leng before, he felt that Shen Leng was a little arrogant because he was the number one in the Yue Wuxuan, and even the rations that the team had to receive in person were only arranged for his subordinates to carry them, so he would intentionally punish them.

However, it was because Shen Leng did something wrong, and because Shen Leng knew that he was wrong, so he didn't go to Wang Gendong to theorize something.

Now that Mu Xiaofeng has arranged it like this, he obviously doesn't have a good heart.

It is much slower to travel by land than by water, and there are many villages to pass through along the way, and no one knows how many of them have anything to do with the water bandits.

If Shen Leng's ten-man team is all killed, this will be the most tragic defeat since the establishment of the water division, and his own regimental rate will probably come to an end.

What about Mu Xiaofeng?

He didn't have to worry about anything at all, he could even say that this was all Wang Gendong's arrangement, he didn't know, he just wanted to take a look with the team this time, and General Zhuang Yong scolded him twice.

However, Daning's military order is a military order, Mu Xiaofeng is the deputy commander of the water division, and he is a general from the fourth grade, and Wang Gendong can only obey the order.

When Shen Leng listened to Wang Gendong's order, he was also a little shocked, this is not in accordance with the rules, and it doesn't make sense, the scout team of the sailor division set off a day earlier, it will already be outside the water bandit camp, what do you want to send scouts to do now?

"What do you think?"

Shen Leng asked.

Wang Gendong's face changed, and he shook his head: "It's Lord Deputy Admiral, and now he is in the cabin." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "I understand, I want to ask me to go alone, and my people stay." ”

"You ......"

Wang Gendong's face changed, he didn't expect Shen Leng to do this, it seemed that Shen Leng was already very clear about Mu Xiaofeng's intentions, he wanted to leave his subordinates behind, because he didn't want the eleven soldiers to accompany him to his death.

"I'll ask for instructions."

Wang Gendong turned around and went back, and soon walked back with a pale face: "The general is not allowed." ”

Shen Leng took a deep breath: "If I disobey now, does the Deputy Admiral have the right to let the archers on this ship shoot at us?" Even if the Admiral knew about it, it would be meaningless, and everyone was dead. ”

Wang Gendong bit his lip and replied, "Yes, the Deputy Admiral has this right. ”

Shen Leng nodded: "I'll go." ”

He turned around and beckoned his ten-person team to convey the order, except for Dewey Ming, the others didn't react much, they didn't know the contradiction between Shen Leng and Mu Xiaofeng, and they didn't think of any danger that might be encountered in this departure.

"Request rations."

"Exactly! Double ration for you! ”

Wang Gendong didn't ask for anything this time, this is within his purview.

"Thank you for the group."

Shen Leng glanced at Wang Gendong meaningfully, and he saw uneasiness and apology in Wang Gendong's eyes.

Shen Leng took his ten-man team to the back to receive the ration, Wang Gendong said to give them double portions, but Shen Leng didn't care about the number at all, and the first thing he said was to tell his subordinates...... Take as much as you can.

The crossbow bolts that are standard for each person brought five boxes, one long and one short knife, one lance, gauze, and wound medicine, and these necessities were as many as possible, but there was no need to bring too much dry food, in addition to this, Shen Leng also asked each of them to carry a roll of rope.

Twelve people are fully equipped, and the weight of this body is heavy enough, and the soldiers are a little dissatisfied, and they say that the scouts are right to go into battle lightly, where is there a reason to bring so many things.

When he arrived at Hukoudu, Shen Leng took a team of ten people to get off the boat and went ashore, Mu Xiaofeng stood at the window and watched the twelve people gradually walk away, and his heart became happier and happier, his cronies Mu Jiu had already found a way to send news to the water tiger Zhao Dengke and those people, Shen Leng would definitely die this time.

Even if Zhuang Yong blames him, what can he do?

On the deck, Wang Gendong looked at the distant comrades and gave a solemn military salute with a snap.

Shen Leng led people into the woods on the shore, and after making sure that the people on the warship could not see it, Shen Leng ordered to stop: "Do you see that tree, let me down." ”

The soldiers didn't know why, but no one dared to disobey the military order, and it was not difficult for a dozen or so people to put down a tree, and it didn't take long for the tree to fall down.

"Pick up the larger branches and split them, at least make sure that the two-finger-thick planks are tied to the outside of your leather armor, and the front and back of your chest and back."

The soldiers were in action, and it didn't take long for each of them to have another layer of wet wood armor, which was not very heavy, but it was more useful for protective crossbow arrows than leather armor.

"There is one thing I haven't had time to tell you, this time our ten-member team was personally named by Lord Admiral, Lord Admiral said, as long as we make some achievements this time and do a good job, then we will be arranged to go to the southern border to do things in the near future, and everyone will have a chance to be rewarded and promoted after we come back."

Shen Leng hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything about Mu Xiaofeng, these recruits were in an unstable mood, and if they were not in a bad mood before the war, then they could only lose worse and faster.

"This is the kindness of Lord Admiral, and I hope everyone will cherish the opportunity."

"Yes!"

Everyone was excited.

"Dewey, take two people in front, Wang Kuohai, take two people in the back."

Shen Leng saw that everyone was already fully equipped, and pointed to the front: "It's a town about twelve miles ahead, go around that town and don't let people find out, the water bandits have eyeliner in every nearby town, and after passing that town, there is another town twenty miles to the west, and when you get there, it's basically going to be dark, and everyone will spend the night outside the town." ”

"Yes!"

Dewey Ming and Wang Kuohai took people to the front and back of the team respectively, and Dewey Ming glanced back at Shen Leng and said in his heart, how did he know the nearby terrain? Did he have all the maps in his mind?

Chen Ran leaned over and lowered his voice and asked Shen Leng, "Is there any trouble?" ”

"Yes, it is estimated that Mu Xiaofeng is going to attack me."

"Leng Zi, you have to be careful."

Shen Leng snorted and said in Chen Ran's ear: "If there is danger, you can run when I tell you to run, don't look back." ”

Chen Ran snorted, and his hand subconsciously clenched the horizontal knife.

Run?

He glanced at Shen Leng and grinned.

It's impossible to run, it's impossible in this life.

......

......

[Good morning everyone, it has been raining here in Hebei for two consecutive days, Leng Zi is going to the southern Haijiang, it is estimated that the rain will be heavier. 】
