In the twelfth section, this group of warriors, all of whom had joined the Guards Battalion, saw the seabirds hovering over the fleet, and they took out their bows and arrows from the cabin and shot them. For a while, the air was filled with the chirping of seabirds, mixed with the "chirping" of bows and arrows. Occasionally, a seabird is shot onto the deck with a bow and arrow, and there must be a burst of cheers below.

Wu Ming smiled and watched with interest as these people hunted here. At this time, Ge Yi walked out of the cabin and said coldly: "You are so stubborn, what should you do if you really go to the battlefield when the time comes?" Don't hurry up and give me a back. ”

Everyone wilted like frosted eggplants. Wu Ming couldn't help laughing, beckoned to Ge Yi and said, "Brother Ge, come here, let them relax, and Lang won't be able to spend a few arrows." ”

A large group of people heard Wu Ming say this, and immediately cheered. They stretched out their bows and arrows, and got busy again. In a few moments, a large pile of bird carcasses was piled up on the deck.

Ge Yi was stunned, walked up to Wu Ming and stood still, and whispered, "My lord, you are too indulgent to them." ”

Wu Ming turned his head, leaned on the guardrail with his hands, looked at the sunset on the sea, and said lightly: "In the next few days, they will really see the bloodshed on the battlefield, now let them experience the last joy." Ge Yi didn't say anything more, just stood silently next to him, listened to the cheers of these people behind him, and sighed.

In fact, they were not a few years older than these new martial artists, but they were like people from two worlds. Perhaps, there is a world of difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not.

"Wow, Senior Brother Yang, your archery is really accurate."

"It's just, it's amazing."

"Look, I shot another one."

……

Behind him, exclamations came one after another, and Wu Ming suddenly aroused interest. When he turned around, he saw Yang Yi holding a strong bow on the deck, only to see his left foot stretched forward, his right foot slightly bent, standing on the deck and firing the bow again and again. Every time the bowstring sounds, a seabird hits the ground. Now there are many seabirds in the sky, and there is almost no need to aim at archery. But when others still missed, it usually took several arrows to hit one, and most of them were dodged by seabirds. There is no one like him who has no arrows. When he arrived, everyone stopped and watched him perform alone.

Ge Yi hugged his arms, and a smile appeared on his cold face, and he whispered: "This young man is really good." "Although he himself is a little older than Wu Ming, he is also a young man. Calling Yang Yi a young man in such an old-fashioned manner, Wu Ming smiled unconsciously: "Brother Ge, in fact, you are not old." Don't teach them such a serious lesson, it sounds weird. ”

Ge Yi shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. At this time, Yang Yi ran over, glanced at Ge Yi with a little fear, and whispered: "Two adults, you eat dry food every day, and you are tired of it." Everyone felt that it was a pity that these seabirds were lost, and they were ready to roast some fresh barbecue meat on the deck to eat. ”

Ge Yi's face suddenly changed color, and he reprimanded: "It's really getting more and more unreasonable, what if there is a fire on the deck?" ”

Yang Yi whispered: "As long as you spread a layer of sand on the deck, there will be no fire." Ge Yi opened his mouth, and was about to say more, Wu Ming smiled: "It's okay, let everyone move out of the stove, and eat some fresh barbecue meat at night, after today, if you want to eat it then, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

The sun had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there was still an orange-red band of light in the west, which faded with time, first deep red, then pink, and finally light red. When everyone prepared to stop the barbecue utensils, only a patch of blue was left in the western sky, which eventually converged and blended into the deep night.

Flames began to dance on the bow of the ship, the smell of meat filled the air, and the laughter of the crowd rippled on the deck. The soldiers on the other nearby ships saw this scene, and they did the same, roasting meat on the deck, and for a while, the wind was full of soldiers' cheers, mixed with small tunes of the south and north, and they did not know what to sing.

Wu Ming and Ge Yi stood at the bow of the boat, silently watching this qiē. At this time, Yang Yi ran over, holding two skewers of roasted meat in his hands, and saluted: "Two adults, this is for you." ”

He said it so naughtily that even Ge Yi was amused by him. The two took it, and Wu Ming said, "Thank you." Then he watched Yang Yi go to the barbecue again. Ge Yi took the barbecue and said with great emotion: "Since I have no entourage, I haven't enjoyed the service of others for a long time, and today can be regarded as reliving the old dream." ”

Wu Ming was biting a piece of meat, and when he heard him say, he was suddenly stunned, Zhang Hao often served himself like this when he was his entourage, but this seemed to be a long time ago.

He had a headache in his heart, and he only felt that the meat was also light and tasteless, and it was difficult to swallow. Taking advantage of Ge Yi's inattention, he turned his head and let the sea breeze blow away the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

The night passed in laughter. In the early morning of the ninth day of the sea, the sky was just dawning, the sun had not yet risen from the sea, and a few white stars could still be seen in the pale white and slightly blue sky. It seems that today is a rare good weather again, it is almost winter now, there are few typhoons at sea, this time I was lucky, I didn't encounter a big wind.

I got the news yesterday, and I can reach Guangyang today. Now the situation in Guangyang is also dark, and I don't know where Zhu Yulong is stationed and what the loss is. So despite the good weather, Wu Ming's heart was still heavy, and he called everyone up early in the morning, asking everyone to be on guard and ready to respond at any time.

Nanban is more than 20,000 navies coming to reinforce this time, God knows if they will suddenly appear in front? Fortunately, the "Feiyun", which was at the forefront of the team, also sent a message, asking everyone to maintain a Xuan Xuan formation, slow down, and move forward vigilantly. Wu Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zhuge Fei is also a person who knows soldiers, after all, he is the deputy commander of the Storm Army, and he must be very experienced in naval warfare, so he can listen to him himself.

As soon as the signal was fired, all the ships lowered their sails, and the speed of this huge fleet slowed down. At this time, the whole team was still divided into three columns, the front was all the large sailing ships of the Storm Army, the "Feiyun" was used as the flagship in the middle, and Xie Kun's Jiangnan Navy and Wu Ming's Guards Battalion were divided into the whole team.

Naval battles in the sea, this situation Wu Ming has only seen in "Twenty-four Questions on Marching Strategy", which is limited to the stage of talking about troops on paper, and it is also dark in his eyes if he really wants to fight. Fortunately, the soldiers who were at the helm this time were all soldiers of the Jiangnan Water Army, so he didn't have to worry about this. Therefore, despite the constant murmuring of lights on the sea and the changing formations of the ships, the ships of the Guards Battalion still followed the large force firmly and did not fall a single bit.

The team slowly walked all the way, and the horizon gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision. The "Feiyun" in front sent a lantern message, asking everyone to prepare, and docked in front. Zhuge Fei must have obtained the specific location of the governor of Zhu Yulong, so he ordered the fleet to dock here, since this is the case, this place is not too far from Guangyangding.

After receiving this order, Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, this reinforcement was very smooth, as long as he landed here, and then joined up with Zhu Dudu to stabilize his own defense, he would be considered to have completed the task. When follow-up reinforcements arrive, they will definitely defeat the combined forces of Sima Shang and the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop.

When they received this command, they all relaxed. They all leaned towards the shore, and the original formation was a little scattered. Suddenly, the "Feiyun" in front of it sent out a series of urgent lights, and the string of lights was very urgent, and Wu Ming also saw it while standing on the deck. At this time, the morning light was slightly dewed, probably afraid that everyone would not be able to see it, and a long urgent flag was added behind it.

Has an enemy appeared?

He raised his head and shouted to the soldiers on the lookout, "What's the matter, is there an enemy?" ”

The soldier's face was solemn, and he replied: "Lord Hui, just now there was an order from the flagship, saying that a large fleet of ships appeared in the southeast direction, and it may be the Southern Barbarians, so everyone should be careful and prepare for battle. ”

The Southern Barbarians really came, and Wu Ming's heart sank. However, it is no wonder that if such a large sea team sets sail, if the Southern Barbarians have no reaction, then his title of the world's No. 1 Navy is really in vain. If you are a Southern Barbarian, you will definitely choose to attack the enemy reinforcements head-on at sea. Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Everyone prepare, the sword is unsheathed, and the gunpowder bullet and tung oil bomb are ready." ”

By this time the east had turned white and gradually turned a rosy color. The soldier at the lookout received the order and answered, "Yes." He changed the language of the lantern to the language of the flag and gave orders to the more than twenty ships of the Guards Battalion.

The more than 20 warships of the Guards Battalion naturally obeyed the orders of Wu Ming's warship. Tung oil bombs and gunpowder bombs were all on Wu Ming and Yang Xiong's ships, but the guards battalion was not very operable, and it was the Black Armor Army led by Zuo Wei and others who really relied on this to kill the enemy. As soon as the order was delivered, the soldier on the lookout shouted, "Here they are." ”

In fact, there was no need for him to call, Wu Ming stood on the bow of the boat. This qiē has been seen.

The sun peeked out of the sea level little by little, like a drunken man, and the whole surface of the sea jumped and fluctuated in an instant. At the junction of water and sky, a black line gradually appeared in the field of vision. It grew bigger and bigger, and gradually it became clear that it was the warships of the Southern Barbarians, most of them with their triangular sails hanging diagonally, and they were rushing towards them at full speed.

At this time, the "Feiyun" in front of it sounded a series of flags. Wu Ming was taken aback, and was about to turn his head to ask, but Yang Yi had already whispered behind him: "My lord, the flagship said, let everyone firmly occupy the upper hand position and prepare for the battle." Wu Ming glanced at him in surprise, this kid knows a lot, but it's no wonder, according to Tang Xuan, Yang Yi is not only outstanding in martial arts, but even his literary talent is first-class, which can be said to be both civil and military. Nanning Academy can't help but be civil and martial, and it is not surprising that he can learn the flag language.

Wu Ming nodded and said loudly: "Order all ships to adjust their course, turn at a forty-five degree angle to the north, occupy the upper hand position, and be ready to support the middle lane at any time." "Now the north-westerly wind is blowing at sea, and the ship turns forty-five degrees north, and the sails on board are the most affected by the wind, and even reinforcements are much faster.
