Chapter 663: The Sailor - 'Sea Wolf'
The Dengzhou sailors immediately blew up the temple after seeing the white sails in the distance, the horn of the guard blew the mountain, all the soldiers rushed onto the warship at the fastest speed, the bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed and put on full guard, and the bed crossbow on the bow made a tooth-sour sound, which was hung up and aimed in the direction of the bow.
Then, ......, as the fleet approached closer and closer, the Dengzhou sailor was stunned to find that it seemed, as if, it was Datang's own fleet, but the white cloth on the ship was too big, which attracted everyone's attention for a while, and they didn't see the Datang Dragon Flag hanging on the bow of the ship.
As the fleet got closer, the lookout could already see that the other party was constantly waving flags, meaning the royal fleet, and the ships were coming to retreat.
What the hell is this? When did Datang have such a weird ship? Where did the deck go to the ship's floor? Why is the bow pointed? And the ship is too big, isn't it? It's three points bigger than the building boat.
And then there's the white flag on the ship, what's that? Why is the white flag so big? Do you want to surrender or something else? Where is the ship's lever? How does a boat sail in the sea without a pole?
After knowing that the opposite fleet belonged to Datang, the Dengzhou sailor did not relax his vigilance, and after letting go of the waterway into the dock, he still maintained a vigilant posture and monitored the movements of the incoming ships.
"Drop the main sail, lower the auxiliary sail halfway, and the helmsman pays attention to keeping the course ......" A series of incomprehensible orders came from the strange boat, and then the white cloth hanging on those boats began to fall little by little, revealing several thick 'hanging buckets'.
The incoming ship is too big, far higher than the building ship, even if standing on the top of the ship, the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy Division can only barely reach the height of the side of the big ship, as for the deck of the big ship, I'm sorry, I really can't see it, maybe only the lookout on the bucket of the building ship can see it clearly.
After the initial nervousness, Lu Da, the governor of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and the deputy general surnamed Shi stood on the shore and waited after confirming that the incoming ship was the Tang Naval Division, and they were eager to meet the commander of this fleet, and by the way, they asked what kind of ship this ship was.
But an embarrassing thing happened at this time, the big ship that was slowly approaching the dock suddenly stopped, and instantly stopped in its place, and then I saw that the sailors and soldiers who had been lined up on the big ship all dispersed, as if something had happened on the ship.
After a while, the sailors on the ship kept waving the flag to the ships behind, and Vice Admiral Lu Da and Vice Admiral Shi, as sailors, could naturally understand it, and then they found that the flag was: The waterway ahead is too narrow, the ship is stranded, and the rear ship is urgently avoided.
Stranded, actually stranded? How deep is the draft of this big ship? Lu Da and Shi Vice Li glanced at each other in surprise, there were so many ships in Dengzhou, and they had never heard of anyone running aground here, even if it was a ship full of goods, they had never heard of the problem of running aground.
There was not much time, and a small boat was lowered from the large ship that had been stranded, and several people in special uniforms stood on the small boat, looking towards the shore.
"Li Zhen, the deputy captain of the 'Sea Wolf', has met the governor of Dengzhou." After the few people who got off the big ship went ashore, the first one gave Lu Da a standard Tang military salute.
"What is your mission? What's the going to do in Dengzhou? Lu Da looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
He didn't know Li Zhen's background, the water master and the sixteen guards were two systems, and Li Ji's guy rarely tossed, so even his eldest son and second son were relatively low-key.
However, although Lu Da didn't know Li Zhen's background, he knew the uniform on his body.
The entire Tang Dynasty can wear this strange uniform, only the Prince East Palace belongs, and others will not wear this thing at all.
"I'm sorry, the mission of the 'Sea Wolf' is a high-level secret, and I have no right to intervene under the three grades." Li Zhen's current grade is from the fifth grade, and he is one level lower than Lu Da, but this does not mean that Li Zhen is afraid of him.
Not to mention that Li Zhen, who is the second generation of officials, has a third-grade Lao Tzu, just in terms of the identity of the deputy captain of the 'Sea Wolf', he is not too bad in the face of a sailor on the fifth grade.
However, this kind of merciless answer is really a slap in the face, if it weren't for the fact that Li Chengqian's camp was stationed not far away, Lu Da hated to let people arrest this guy and beat him with twenty boards, let him know what it means to crush people to death at the level of an official.
"Captain of the Third Squadron, send a signal to the people of the 'Fangs' that we have arrived." No matter how angry Lu Da was, Li Zhen commanded a man beside him after pushing back his request.
"Whoa!" The leader of the third squadron agreed as if no one was around, and his eyes never left Li Zhen's back from beginning to end, as if the governor and deputy general of the Dengzhou Navy Division in front of him did not exist.
"Whew...... With a sharp whistling sound, a cloud of smoke exploded in the sky.
"You have a lot of flares, don't you? It's such a waste, Lao Tzu has been standing here for a long time, don't you know to turn your head and take a look? After the signal exploded in the sky, a very young voice sounded not far from several people, attracting everyone's attention.
"You ......, when did you ......" Vice General Shi's face had a very strange expression, the voice was very familiar to him, it was the pair of twins next to Li Chengqian, but he looked at the direction from which the voice came from, there was no one there, when did the twins appear there?
"Governor Lu Du, General Shi, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, I only apologize for the rudeness of the Prince's right guard 'Sea Wolf', if nothing happens, I will take them to see His Highness, and I will leave." Tianzuo's polite performance made Lu Dudu open his mouth speechlessly, and finally waved his hand vigorously, signaling them to leave quickly.
When Li Zhen and the others left proudly, Lu Da looked at the battleships not far away, waved his fist angrily, turned around and left. Damn it, ......the prince's guard doesn't have a good thing, not to mention the amazing equipment, and they look down on people so badly.
However, these local officials didn't care much about what Li Chengqian said, and by his standards, even the sixteenth guards under Li Chengqian were not qualified soldiers.
Compared with the steel division in later generations, it seems that only the Xuanjia Army can be called an 'army', and under such standards, the local government army and the naval division naturally become an army similar to the militia.
Will the Tang prince value a 'militia'? Do you care what the commander of a militia thinks of his own team? The answer, of course, is no, because the militia is simply not qualified to judge an elite division.
