Chapter 262: If You Don't Enter the Tiger's Den, You Will Get the Tiger (Three Watches)

"That's a problem!"

Lu Wenmao said: "My lord, why don't we divide the troops? Divide all the soldiers on the big ship into the small boat, so that they don't have to be fixed on the middle waterway, and they can reach Weishan Island and Zhaoyang Island quietly." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Chang Wei shook his head and said, "Wen Mao, your plan is very good, but you forgot an important thing. ”

Lu Wenmao said: "My lord, are you saying that we have an advantage in firepower? The Tiger Squat Cannon can also be carried by a small boat, and the impact is not too big." ”

"Brother Lu, my lord refers to our soldiers!"

Chang Ping interjected: "Although the Volunteer Battalion is an elite division, it has not experienced a real war after all. When assembling together, there are a large number of robes to rely on, and there are experienced officers to command, so it is not a big problem. Once dispersed, it is difficult to say how many achievements there are left in combat effectiveness. ”

"That's right, the subordinates are abrupt. ”

Lu Wenmao generously admitted that he was thoughtful, and then said: "But rushing over like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, once the enemy is prepared to move in advance, our hard work will be in vain." ”

Although Lu Wenmao's strategy was not adopted, he was not discouraged, and this kind of performance is called courage in officialdom, and it is a performance of responsibility and responsibility, and Chang Wei is secretly happy.

Looking into the distance, he slowly said, "Maybe I can try the strategy of Llama Lake again!"

Lu Wenmao and Chang Ping shouted in unison, "Your Excellency wants to sneak in again?"

Soon, the main personnel came to the flagship. After revising the combat strategy, Chang Ping and Lu Wenmao were responsible for assisting Huang Chongwu and Huang Chongwen in commanding the fleet. Masters such as the Nine Sons of the Big Dipper, the Ten Arhats, Huikong, Enlightenment, Tang Jinyi, and Chang Wei were guided by Cheng Shiyu, and took a medium-sized eagle boat, deviating from the main channel and going straight to the north.

The eagle boat was already known for its speed and the two sails hung out, so that everyone quickly moved away from the fleet, and in the evening, Shi Yu shouted excitedly with a thousand miles of tubes, "My lord, it's almost time to Weishan Island." ”

After taking a look at the Qianli tube, a strange rock was craggy under the sunset, and an island with an evil appearance appeared in sight.

"The distance is about thirty miles, and if all goes well, we will be able to reach the island in two hours. ”

The thirty-mile waterway didn't take so long, but Lao Hu said that the reefs near Weishan Island were dense, and it looked very close, but in fact, it had to go back and forth to get close, so it was by no means as simple as walking in a straight line.

was about to put down the thousand libo, when suddenly a sail appeared at the end of his sight, Chang Wei took a closer look, it was three medium-sized ships, the waterline was very deep, showing that the carrying capacity of the ship was not small. The bow of the ship had ramming horns, apparently a warship, and there was a lookout on the mast, and a person sitting on it could be faintly seen.

"Is the warship near Weishan Island a White Lotus thief?" Chang Wei handed the Thousand Miles Cylinder to Cheng Shiyu.

"The naval warships of the officers and soldiers were all intercepted in the Jining section of the canal, and these eighty percent were the ships of the White Lotus thieves. ”

The latter's face changed, although it looked like an old-fashioned warship and did not look like a cannon, but its appearance still changed the atmosphere.

"My lord, what should we do? Shall we bypass it or kill it?"

Fang Greedy Wolf was not afraid of big things, but because he found the enemy, he seemed very excited, and everyone looked at the two tiger squat cannons hidden in the cabin, and their eyes showed a sense of war.

Chang Wei shook his head, it is impossible to start a war now, and he must not expose his whereabouts before landing on Weishan Island. However, since the enemy ship appeared thirty miles away, it means that this is an important area for the enemy, and if it cruises nearby, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be targeted.

It is not a clever move for a lone ship to fight a water battle in a waterway familiar to the enemy, and the river near Weishan Island is crisscrossed, if a few more enemy ships come out of the secret waterway, not to mention going to the island at that time, it is a lucky thing to be able to keep the ship. What's more, once the cannon is fired, the plan to use the master to secretly infiltrate the assassination and sabotage will be completely bankrupt.

"Don't go around, speed up, cross Weishan Island to the north, enter Zhaoyang Lake and kill again!"

Zhaoyang Lake in the north is deeper than Weishan Lake, and there is more freedom of boating.

"But the closer you get to the north and closer to Zou County, the greater the risk of being discovered by the enemy. ”

Although war requires strategy and strategy, in the end, it is necessary to rely on force to speak!

Chang Wei believes that the more dangerous the place, the safer, and in deep water, an eagle boat may not attract attention. And it's almost night, and the chance of being spotted by the enemy at night is much smaller, and if you are careful enough, you can get around the deep water to the north, and the final sprint will be shorter and safer.

Cheng Shi Yu saw that Chang Wei had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything, he reported the wind direction, the current, and instructed the sails how to adjust, and the sailors responded while pulling the cable to adjust the sails.

Seeing that the bow of the ship was getting higher and higher, and the speed of the ship kept increasing, the sailors muttered: "This hairy boy really has two hits, no wonder he was appreciated and reused by adults as soon as he came." ”

Naturally, they didn't know that Cheng Shiyu had been playing in the water in Weishan Lake since he was a child, which was like his backyard. Although they don't have the experience of being familiar with every river like Lao Hu, they can't compare with those who are new to the river.

Looking at the enemy ship that disappeared into the thousand-mile tube, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, like a sigh of avoiding danger, and like a regret of missing the battle.

After a while, night fell completely, and the white lake became a black tile, and the light dimmed and could no longer maintain high speed, and the sailors lowered a few sails at the right time to let the ship drift slowly.

After eating dry food, Chang Wei slept in the cabin, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, when Huikong's voice sounded in his ears, "I can't see, I can't see it!"

"What can't you see?" Chang Wei rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked up to the deck, and saw that it was white under the night, and even the figure at the stern of the ship was a little unreal, and the visibility was extremely low.

Chang Wei was taken aback, "What's the fog?"

It's only the end of September, and even if it's cold in the north and the frost and fog come early, it won't be so foggy.

"It's humid and foggy on the lake early, but it's obviously not normal to get so foggy now, and this year will be a cold winter, and the days are getting worse and worse. ”

Cheng Shi Yu stood at the bow of the boat in a cloak, his arms raised high seemed to be carefully understanding the wind speed and direction, and the compassionate form was like a solemn statue.

Chang Wei muttered: "It's really unlucky, it's so foggy, let alone looking for Weishan Island, as long as you don't bump into the secret scream, you will be lucky." ”

Originally, with such a big fog, the ships should immediately drop anchor and stop advancing, but now they are under the nose of the enemy, and if they do not take advantage of the night and dense fog to move forward, they will be live rakes at dawn, and they will not be able to fight hard.

The heavy mist soon wet his coat and outlined the thin figure of Shi Yu, but he didn't realize it, and the sailors saw his solemn expression, and they all quieted down and did not dare to disturb him.

His arms swayed like willows in the wind, and with this rhythm, Chang Wei's heart jumped uncontrollably, his eyes involuntarily swept over the black and oppressive lake, and a strong sense of resentment gripped his heart.

After a long time, the rain let out a long breath, relaxed his spirit, and sat down on the deck.

Chang Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "How?" (To be continued.) )
