Duan Shan carefully held the willow box and did not open it directly in the hole, but cautiously carried it to the tent outside, and specially summoned special combat team members to go several layers on the outer periphery, prohibiting everyone from approaching.
The wicker wooden box was opened, and it was divided into nine small lattices with wooden lattices, and in each lattice lay a black clay pot quietly.
Yellowbeard took a carefully examined, most ordinary black clay pot from Duan Shan's hand, which was very similar to the wine jar containing Wuliangye, he gently weighed it in his hand, and even the weight was about the same, estimated to be five or six catties. However, this black clay pot lacks ears and no handle, so it is so round and resembles a watermelon. The mouth of the clay pot was also sealed with sealing mud, so he couldn't see or smell what was inside, but by the feeling in his hand, he felt that it should be a liquid like wine.
"What's inside?" Yellowbeard turned his head and asked Duan Shan.
Duan Shan smiled: "This guy is very powerful, you have to be careful, you can open the mud seal to see, but be careful, don't use too much force, this kind of clay pot is a batch of goods specially fired in the town's brick and tile cellar, the wall of the clay pot is very weak, and it will crack if it is a little stronger." ”
Yellowbeard patted lightly, and the sealing mud was shattered, and the mouth of the can inside was sealed with a layer of straw paper. The mouth of the jar was much smaller than he expected, and when he opened the seal and tilted the clay pot slightly, a pungent smell suddenly rushed to him. It was a slow-flowing but very thick thing, which seemed to be black and a bit like brown. He didn't see it exactly.
"It's thick. It's like honey. ”
"But it's not sweet." Duan Shan chuckled. This thing was personally figured out by the general not long ago, and it has been secretly tested many times. Each time, it was the special combat team and the gendarmerie who were on guard at the same time, and they were very careful. He remembered the first time he saw it, it looked like honey, but once it was lit and hit the target, the pot would shatter, and the honey-thick thing would stick to everything it splattered to. And it burned violently.
"This thing can burn on seawater!" Duan Shan smiled proudly, and after speaking, he stared at the faces of several masters and waited to see their surprised gazes.
Sure enough, the three of them were full of shock, "You mean, this thing can't be extinguished by water, and it can float directly on the sea water and burn?" ”
"Exactly, once ignited, this thing burns violently until it burns out. And, as long as he splashes it. Cloth, wood, leather, and even steel will all be ignited. Fall to the sea. They can even burn in the sea. ”
Yellowbeard was skeptical, if it weren't for the fact that these things were the secret weapons that Li Jing had given him in advance, he would definitely think that this was a lame drunken joke that Duan Shan was playing with him. "What the hell is this?"
Duan Shan smiled and said proudly: "This thing is taught by the Dragon King of the East China Sea by the general of my family at night, so my general calls it the wrath of the Dragon King, which can also be called the wrath of the sea god, the fire of the ocean, and even the divine flame, the heavenly fire, and so on." In short, this is a secret weapon capable of burning on water, especially suitable for naval warfare. According to my general, this is only the simplest way to use it, and it is said that there is also a device specially designed to cooperate with this fire. It can be specially installed on the bow of the ship, and then put the divine fire in it, and burn the fire underneath to heat it, when fighting the enemy ship, you can open the valve of the device, and the divine fire inside can quickly erupt dozens of steps away, directly attacking the enemy ship. ”
"Seagod's Wrath" Yellowbeard and the three of them all muttered, they didn't dare to doubt what Duan Shan said that this was the secret weapon that was taught to Li Jing by the Dragon King's dream. "How do you use this thing?"
"There are currently three kinds of this kind of divine fire, one is the one we have in our hands, six catties and one can, which is specially designed for artillery projectile. To use it, put an oil-soaked fire cloth on the mouth of the canister and light it, and then use a cannonball to shoot at the target. As long as the target is hit, it is not necessary to destroy the target in the traditional way, but the jar is broken, and the divine fire inside will immediately and quickly burn, and the target splashed will also burn immediately, and the water cannot be extinguished. This is the best weapon for attacking wooden ships. ”
"There are two kinds, one is a large clay pot of fifteen catties, and the other is a small clay vase of only two catties. The former was used for the longest-range cannons, while the latter was rationed to the soldiers for close-range throws during broadside combat. Either way, trust me, it's going to scare the hell out of it. Of course, it will definitely scare the enemy. ”
Carefully putting back the jar of divine fire in his hand, Yellowbeard asked, "How many divine fires do we have?" ”
"These divine fires have also just been made, and the few materials needed are very scarce, so there are not many of them. This time, the general handed over to me all the stocks in Shamen Town, including a total of 100 cans of 15 catties of divine fire, a full 500 cans of 6 catties, and a maximum of 2 catties, a full 1,000 bottles, all of which add up to 1,600 cans. Duan Shan was triumphant, and his smile was even a little arrogant.
Yellowbeard didn't know whether he should be excited or afraid at this time, and with this unheard-of power, it made people tremble.
"Huang Dangjia, are the cannon throwers and ballistas ready?"
"Everything has been arranged, and it is all according to General Ji Yu's plan. Now that I have this batch of secret weapons of yours, I have even more confidence in my heart. ”
"Then send these divine fires now, and all the six-kilogram and fifteen-kilogram ones will be transported to the respective artillery throwing places, and different divine fires will be distributed according to the size of the cannons. The other thousand two-pound bottles were distributed to the bravest sailors of the ships, and now they began to teach them how to use them. Duan Shan specially confessed after the end, "Master, this divine fire is extremely powerful, you must be absolutely careful, don't let him burn on his own boat, otherwise"
"Don't worry, there will be no surprises. Although we didn't have a divine fire before, we also used oil tanks in battles at sea, although the power is not as good as this divine fire. But it's also very violent. The brothers have experience. Just rest assured. ”
As soon as the few people finished speaking, a scout sent out to reconnoiter at sea rushed back and brought Li Jing's letter.
"Feng Ming has already come straight to us with the fleet, this stupid fool has really been fooled!" Yellowbeard laughed loudly and announced the letter, causing everyone to cheer. "However, General Li Jing will not come as agreed, and this battle will have to be fought by ourselves."
This sudden news surprised the cheering crowd a little, why did Li Jing let them fight the pirates alone. The eyes of many pirates looked at Duan Shan, and Duan Shan was also at a loss, but this was not the case in the plan. Could it be that the general wants the pirates and Feng Ming to die together?
While he was thinking wildly, Yellowbeard raised his voice and said, "Let me tell you another good news, General Li Jing has already led the fleet to Wuhu Island and went to fuck their ass." In this battle, Feng Ming is ours, and Wuhu Island is General Ji Yu's. ”
This result made the pirates who were secretly suspicious in their hearts suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, Li Jing went to fight Wuhu Island, it was not to abandon them. Although the plan has changed, their plan to face the Fengming fleet will not change. Li Jing also told him in the letter that he did not need to be afraid of the battleship of Fengzhang. With this all-round plan, there will be no problem in this battle, and they will be the ones who will win the last. At the end of the letter, Li Jing said that he would wait for them to return victorious at Wuhu Fort.
"The plan remains the same, all departments will act according to the original plan, hurry up, the fleet of the Feng family is about to arrive!"
It was dark, and it was just past noon, but the weather on the sea was as dark as dusk.
The huge five-tooth battleship was in the center of the huge fleet, a hundred-foot-high five-story deck, and Feng Ming stood against the female wall. He wore no armor, a long-sleeved robe, and a flat scarf, but a gorgeous sword hung from his waist. Behind him was his general's head and flag-bearer, and a little behind him was a whole team of guards in full armor, standing there with their swords in hand.
Above their heads, a large banner with black characters on a red background fluttered high, and there was also a long banner with the official position of Feng Ming written on it, "Da Xie Yan Suppressing Bandits Marching Du Yu Hou Feng"
The fleet was moving at a rapid pace, but Feng Ming still felt that the speed was too slow. He had already detained Wu Qian in the cabin of his building, and sent a whole team of family members to drink tea with him. The entire fleet is now completely in his hands, and everything is only under his orders.
"Speed up, I must not allow Li Jing to slip away calmly after teasing me from under my nose!"
"Full speed ahead!" The commanding soldiers on the deck shouted, and the flag-bearers in the battle on the high mast immediately waved the command flags and gave orders, and the warships began to drink the order one after another, rowing vigorously and moving forward at full speed.
"Childe, the yacht in front found a few speedboats, it seems to be Li Jing's scout!"
Feng Ming, who was sitting in the cabin eating lunch, immediately got up and said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for, catch up immediately, don't sink them, drive them, follow them, let them guide us and find Li Jing." ”
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it seems that dark clouds are piling up in the sky, and it may rain at any time. Waves began to set off in the calm sea, and the forward's yacht broke away from the fleet formation and pursued at high speed.
"Li Jing's scouts appear here, which means that Li Jing's large army must also be here." Feng Ming's face flashed with a flush, he specially drank a small glass of Wuliangye at lunch just now, and at this time, the wine was surging, and the whole person was a little uncontrollably excited. "Follow his scouts, let's kill them all the way and crush them directly."
The yacht followed closely behind the scout's speedboat, biting tightly, but always retaining a little distance, allowing the scouts to lift up their whole body strength and desperately escape.
Seeing that the battle was about to start, Feng Ming suddenly felt some uncontrollable tremors all over his body, was it excitement or fear? He carefully counted the strength of the enemy and the enemy, he had 3,000 men and horses, and he had added 300 soldiers and horses and hundreds of crews on Wuhu Island, and now the total was 4,000, and there were 1,000 pirates. However, Feng Ming didn't have much hope for these pirates, these people were just cannon fodder and shields that could be used in his eyes. He had already planned and rowed, and when the battle began, the thousand pirates and their more than a dozen ships would be arranged at the front as death squads.
Feng Ming's biggest reliance is still his thirty-seven warships, except for those assault and liaison yachts, his biggest killer is his fighting ships and sea falcon ships. In particular, there are four of the Sea Falcon's ships, which are the latest to be converted into ironclad warships. And Li Jing is just a dozen converted merchant ships, Feng Ming is confident that he can directly break through Li Jing's fleet and completely wipe them out.
The fleet quickly drove the scout boats to the shoreline of Iron Mountain, and in front of them was a barren coast, full of cliffs and jungles. Among them, there are a handful of small harbors where you can dock, as well as the poor fishermen who live around the harbors and their seagrass sheds covered with tattered nets.
"Childe, the frightened little lamb cake has finally returned to the sheepfold." A lieutenant excitedly reported to Feng Ming, "Li Jing's scout boat fled back to the small harbor in front, and we chased to the mouth of the harbor and found the enemy's patrol boats, as many as four or five boats, which had just been handed over and successfully repelled them. The enemy had fled into the harbor, and our men found that there were more ships in the harbor, and we found Li Jing. ”
"Are you sure that Li Jing is in the harbor?" Feng Zhang asked hurriedly.
"There will be no mistake, there are more than a dozen large ships docked in the harbor, including a few sea ships of thousands of stones, these are definitely Li Jing's modified fleet."
"Haha, Li Jing never imagined that we would chase after us so quickly." Feng Ming Da Lu laughed a few times, "Then what are you waiting for, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and immediately enter the port." It is estimated that Li Jing may still be transporting the loot, so we don't have to wait for them to board the ship, and sink all their ships first. ”
Thinking that Li Jing's fleet, which had been converted into a sea ship for the first time, was about to be sunk by himself, Feng Ming felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. To this day, he still can't forget how he was humiliated, beaten, and even locked up in the Diwozi labor camp on Salmon Island, and he remembers it clearly.
Now, the complicated moment is finally coming.
"Pass my order, no one is allowed to hurt Li Jing's half a hair, Lao Tzu will capture him alive." Feng Ming gritted his teeth and laughed wildly, and shouted loudly: "Those who capture Li Jing alive and sacrifice it to this son will be rewarded with one million!" ”
