Chapter 248: The Combined Fleet Crossing the Sea is Coming
Duli Town was attacked by Qingnipu with divine fire and annihilated a detachment, and in a panic, he hurriedly withdrew his troops and returned the fleet to the port. He also sent people to Shamen Town, wanting to buy Shenhuo at a high price to deal with Qingnipu. However, Li Jing was not moved by profit at all, and only sent Zhang Hong to send him. The people had no choice but to return, and Wang Pu, the lord of Duli Town, sent Feng Changgui to Da Xie Yan again.
Feng Changgui was also familiar with Feng Zhang, and when he heard Feng Zhang's praise of the power of that divine fire, he couldn't help but look cautious. If Qingnipu really mastered this powerful weapon in their hands, then the combined fleet, which they had always used as a huge advantage and deterrent to Qingnipu, would have no effect at all. What's more, in the two battles before and after, the combined fleet has already lost two detachments, and lost five thousand men and horses.
He immediately returned to Duli Town to show the city lord Wang Pu and the fleet commander Pei Youyu, both of whom were equally shocked and full of worry. Now they can no longer think about continuing to besiege Qingnipu, or even capture Qingnipu. Qingnipu and Shamen Town have joined forces, as long as Li Lingfu continues to get this divine fire supply from Li Jing's hands, then their advantage over Qingnipu will be completely lost, and they may even be counterattacked by the other party.
If there were any more losses in the fleet of Duli Town, then Duli Town, which had lost the protection of the fleet, would not be able to fight Li Lingfu with the city defense forces alone.
"It's better to send someone to buy the craftsmen in Shamen Town with a lot of money, find the formula, and make the divine fire ourselves, so we are not afraid." Pei You said.
Feng Changgui shook his head: "I have already inquired on this trip, and based on my observations on Shamen Island, as well as what Feng Zhang said, this road is not passable." Li Jing Island is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for outsiders to talk to the islanders. Not to mention the buying of artisans. And I heard that this Divine Fire Workshop is underground. Heavy guards. It is said that the recipe is still separated. Shenhuo is divided into several workshops to make it, and as long as you can't find all the craftsmen, you won't be able to get the complete recipe at all. And if we want to find all those craftsmen to get the recipe, unless we capture the town of Salmon, there is no other way. ”
Pei You said: "Then we will fight Shamen Town, Qingnipu can't gnaw it, can't Li Jing beat a kid with hair all the hair?" As long as we capture Shamen Town, we can get the Divine Fire Formula. How arrogant Li Lingfu will be at that time. ”
The city lord Wang Pu was silent, although he had never dealt with Li Jing, but judging from the rumors he had heard, this Li Jing was not simple. Feng Zhang, such a cunning fox, has suffered such a big loss one after another under Li Jing, and those who despise Li Jing have no good end.
"Let me think again, send more people to Shamen Town these days. A two-pronged approach, while trying to see if you can get the formula by bribing the artisan officials on the island, even if you can't get the formula. We also have to find a way to get a few cans of divine fire and come back and study them ourselves. On the other hand. Continue to send envoys to find Li Jing, several small islands in Shamen Town, I heard that there are now nearly 10,000 military horses. Thinking that my Duli Town occupies such a large territory and a port, it only has less than 40,000 soldiers, and he must be short of money and food to raise so many soldiers and horses. Don't be afraid to spend money, just give Li Jing a price, as long as you can get the divine fire, whether it is the formula or directly buy their divine fire, the money is worth it. ”
"It's not a problem to settle things with money. The last thing we need in the town is money! Wang Pu said in a deep voice.
Duli Town then attacked in multiple directions, but unfortunately it did not go well. The spies sent to try to buy off the artisan officials were discovered, and they were sent directly to the prisoner-of-war labor camp, where they were dragged to the flint mines of the Great Black Mountain Island. And the envoy who went to see Li Jing went several times but didn't see the main owner, and every time Zhang Hong came out, all the way he only cared about selling and introducing various products in Shamen Town. The messenger bought a lot of various commodities, signed several business orders, and paid tens of thousands of deposits, but after the most, every time he talked about Shenhuo, Zhang Hong was not on the road at all.
After arriving at the end of the day, Wang Pu finally understood that Li Jing didn't want to sell him Shenhuo at all, let alone the formula.
At this time, Feng Zhang may have been stirred by Feng Changgui's last visit. actually took the initiative to send someone to send a secret letter to Wang Pu.
The letter was also written directly and clearly, to the effect that the last attack on Cat Island had been found out to be a joint effort between Li Jing and the pirates in the Zhendong Sea. Later, Li Jing and Li Lingfu met at sea and reached an alliance, Li Jing not only sold Shenhuo to Li Lingfu, but also sold a large number of swords, guns and arrows, and even warships, merchant ships, and grain slaves. He said that the annihilation of the Duli Town Fleet this time was entirely due to Li Lingfu's divine fire from Li Jing. If you want to destroy Li Lingfu, you must first destroy Li Jing and seize his divine fire, and then great things can be accomplished. He proposed to join forces with Duli Town to destroy Shamen Town, and after the town was broken, the property on the island would be returned to Duli Town, and the Zhenmen Islands would be returned to Da Xie Yan, and then the secret of Shenhuo would be shared.
"After breaking Shamen Town, I will take revenge and get divine fire, and when the time comes, I will recover Shamen Town, and take Qingnipu publicly, don't make a mistake!"
After Wang Pu got the letter, he said: "Li Jing attacked my cat island first, and then helped Li Lingfu. Again and again, again and again provoked us. If we don't give him back the color, it won't make the world's heroes laugh! Now that Feng Zhang is willing to be an ally and a precursor for me, if you don't take the opportunity to avenge at this time, when will you wait? ”
In the hall of the city lord, all the representatives gathered together. The representative of the Zheng family hesitated: "Feng Zhang is a cunning man, and he has just been newly defeated by Li Jing, and he has already lost his heart in the face of Li Jing at this time, so his proposal is obviously to pull us to avenge him, but it is not credible." ”
Pei You, the commander of the combined fleet, said: "We can fight this battle, and we don't expect Feng Zhang'er." Now Feng Zhangken is joining forces, but it is just to save some trouble along the way. It is up to us to fight a war. ”
Due to the full support of Wang Pu and Pei You, and the representatives of the Feng family lobbied all parties, the majority finally won a majority in favor of the decision to send troops. Immediately, Wang Pu ordered Pei You to be the commander of the fleet and command the whole army.
Send him to the port first to arrange warships, load more weapons, grain and grass, and load war horses on large ships, and Kerixing division.
The detailed investigation of the port immediately reported to Li Lingfu. Everyone was shocked, thinking that Duli Town was preparing to raise an army to avenge the destruction of the fleet. Only Li Lingfu didn't care too much: "Don't worry, how many times has Duli Town attacked Qingnipu, but which one has succeeded?" They came across the sea, how much force can they have. In a short period of time this year, we have annihilated two fleets in Duli Town, and wiped out two out of ten of their fleets. Now they are coming again, but they are only here to die. You don't need to panic, just defend as you are arranged. ”
Li Lingfu ordered his second son, Li Juyi, to be the commander of the sailors' soldiers and horses, and to lead the sailors at the mouth of the harbor and prepare for war on the islands. The third son, Li Juli, was the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the Yanai, and led 1,000 soldiers in the Yanai to follow the Gonghe Army to prepare for battle in the north, preparing to defend the enemy in Beisha City. Li Lingfu led the garrison in the city to sit in Qingni City and control the overall situation.
After the arrangements were made, Li Lingfu sent an envoy to Shamen Town, preparing to buy some more divine fires and arrows from Li Jing to prepare for the war.
When Li Jing heard the envoy's words, he was shocked and asked, "When will the fleet of Duli Town prepare for sending troops?" ”
"Even today, from time to time, they are still loading soldiers and horses in the port, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the whole fleet!"
Hearing this information, Li Jing couldn't help but wonder, if Duli Town wanted to attack Qingnipu, how could it be so fanfare, they should have attacked secretly. Outside the hall, Zhang Jiang came to report, saying that Gongsun Lan asked to see him. He left a messenger and met Gongsun Lan in the study.
Gongsun Lan was wrapped around like a spirit snake, and her fiery lips and tongue gnawed on Li Jing's face several times. Li Jing was in no mood to respond to him, and asked, "But do you have important information to tell me?" ”
"What am I in your eyes? Is it just a messenger? Gongsun Lan's enthusiasm met Li Jing's ice, and she couldn't help but be very dissatisfied, stared at Li Jing with an angry face, stared at her for a while, and suddenly laughed, turned around, and began to untie her clothes by herself.
Li Jing said: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Don't do anything, don't you want to know the information of the Dao, then come here." She looked at Li Jing, "I suddenly want you, you come over to meet me, and I'll tell you the information." Declare in advance, this is very important information, and you should not regret missing it. ”
One by one, the clothes were thrown on the ground, and a carcass as white as jade was suddenly revealed in front of Li Jing. Watching her make those sultry temptation actions, although Li Jing had a lot of things in her heart, she couldn't help but be a little impatient at this time, it was completely the natural reaction of her body.
"You don't ask for mercy for a while! Goblin! Li Jing drank lightly and pounced.
After a long time, Li Jing lay on the couch, fine sweat all over his body. Gongsun Lan wiped the sweat on Li Jing's body naked, and deliberately wiped it to that place several times, and asked provocatively: "Who said just now that you don't ask for mercy, general, if you have the ability, let's fight for another three hundred rounds." ”
Li Jing gasped and said, "That's it, spare you today, let's fight again in the future, and say some important information." ”
"Death, who spares whom." She shook off a waterfall-like green silk, her face was flushed, and she smiled contentedly: "The combined fleet of Duli Town is preparing to attack with the whole fleet. ”
"I know it."
"But you definitely don't know that their target will be Shamen Town!" Gongsun Lan held an ivory comb, and sat in front of the dresser with her smooth and attractive jade back, combing green silk under the bronze mirror. The two snow-white buttocks are presented in front of you like a ripe peach.
Li Jing, who was admiring the peach and was about to move, was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but get up, "Your news is reliable?" The combined fleet of Duli Town is coming to attack Salmon Town? ”
"It's true!" Gongsun Lan looked back and smiled charmingly, but Li Jing was no longer in the mood to take care of these at this time, his mind was full of the upcoming attack of the Duli Town Combined Fleet! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
