Outside the east gap, He Chong's right hand Ugin Lock, left hand Pu Knife, actually blocked the enemy's seventy percent of the attack, the six-foot-long Ugin lock was unfolded, hit the horse's head up, smashed the horse's legs, close to his horses, either blind or disabled, and the thief who was overturned and fell off the horse had a Pu knife to serve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four soldiers who followed him didn't expect this old man to be so brave, and they were very excited under the surprise, while shouting praises, while soaking cold and giving the enemy a knife, they complemented each other very well, and the enemy couldn't take a step beyond the thunder pool.

In this way, Yan Ruyu had nothing to do, and seeing that Chang Wei had withdrawn from the battle group, he hurriedly made up for his original position.

"Lao He, leave me a horse!"

Chang Wei borrowed a little bit of the wheel with his left foot, and his body had already rushed towards an enemy horseman, and the man on the horse was knocked away with a shot, and he had already captured the mount, the gun was attached to the horse's neck, and the horse's head was turned, and he went straight to the Japanese horse that was leaning in.

Knowing that once the enemy gained a firm foothold behind the car formation, this group of baggage soldiers would die without a place to be buried, and they would never make reservations, and before Kondo's team on the opposite side reacted, the war bow had already begun to emit a strange trembling sound, and the Jiuyang bead chain in the shocking sunset was almost exerted by Chang Wei to the extreme, and the nine feather arrows were like the soul hook pen of the king of Hades, taking nine lives at once, and at this time, the white horse under the crotch only advanced five steps.

Seeing their companions fall to the ground one by one as if mowing grass, the fear of death instantly froze the hearts of the enemy soldiers, and the surviving thieves all lay on the back of their horses' necks and did not dare to move, and none of them dared to lean out and shoot at Chang Wei, still maintaining a forward posture without turning their horses back to escape, it was already the only limit they could do at the moment.

On the opposite hillside, Kondo's command finally sounded, but it was too late, the distance of more than thirty zhang, even if the projectile was still lethal, but there was no big threat to Chang Wei, but the mount was in pain, the four hooves flew over, and soon rushed into the enemy formation, under the poisonous dragon gun, the five surviving Japanese robbers only lived a moment longer than their companions.

The enemy Mingjin was gone, and the enemy who was attacking the car formation left twelve corpses behind, and retreated helplessly, although Tachibana Kansuke and Sakamoto Hatsuya were all colored, they still escaped from Qingluan and Yan Ruyu.

The four guards defending the front of the car formation were all killed, He Chong divided his troops to help, but one of the people who came to help was also killed, he was exhausted and was stabbed in the left arm by the thief, but fortunately he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but now he can play at most fifty percent of his usual skills.

As soon as the enemy retreated, she commanded everyone to take advantage of the gap to grab a few horses, and then put the rice bags that had been pushed to the ground by the enemy back onto the carriage.

Chang Wei stood alone on the hillside, taking all this into his eyes. Now returning to the car formation, on the way to the enemy will inevitably be sniped by the enemy, the distance is so close, the salvo of forty guns is not a joke.

What's more, staying here, the enemy can't easily detour back to the back of the car formation.

Lao Sun pulled his throat to report the results to Chang Wei, and after two battles, the brilliant record of 8 to 40 made him even more proud. From a distance, although he couldn't see the expression of Okita on the opposite hillside, he thought that his mood would never be as relaxed and happy as when he set up an ambush.

However, Chang Wei also knows that when it comes to this, it is already the ultimate ability of this team, and if he continues to fight, as long as Okita is determined and willing to pay the price, there are only a few people on his side who can escape, and now is the time to retreat, but everyone in the car formation is suppressed by the Japanese guns, and if they want to rush out, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Chang Wei was helpless for a while, but Okita did not move, and the two armies confronted each other.

"What's this guy's idea?"

Chang Wei secretly figured out in his heart, at this time the sky was already bright, looking far away, you can vaguely see the smoke curling, although this official road is overgrown with weeds, but the nearby villagers will not pass by here, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is to Okita, not to mention that Fu Zhouzi is coming non-stop, Chang Wei naturally hopes to consume it like this, but Okita should understand that he can't afford to spend time!

In the middle of the night, Okita really moved, and he galloped down the slope on horseback, and came to the halfway point of the hill guarded by Kondo, before he stopped, and said loudly: "The general is not harmed?"

"Thank you, sir, for your concern. ”

Drop the bookbag with me?Okay, it's just a waste of your time: "The gentleman's demeanor is still the same, and the rest of the mind is very peaceful." Today I will hunt here with my husband, and I hope that Mr. will give me more advice. ”

"Don't dare to be a pointer, and listen to a certain word, the art of war cloud, the invincible, defend, the victorious, attack; ”

"There is no momentum in the army, there is no constant shape in the water, there are many dangers and dangers, and there are impermanences, how can the gentleman say that he will win?"

"The general doesn't have to deceive me, if you want to quit the army, you only want to kill 10,000 people and lose 3,000 yourself. ”

I see!

Chang Wei suddenly realized in his heart that it was not easy to come to the Japanese to replenish the manpower, and he couldn't keep himself, so Okita didn't want to fight this kind of war of attrition, since this was the case, the only way was to retreat.

But he was already sure of the victory, and he was naturally unwilling to leave empty-handed, and the biggest benefit at the moment was only twenty carts of grain.

It's just that this guy dares to expose his weaknesses to himself, not only is he fearless, he simply doesn't take himself seriously, he is secretly angry, and he wants to fight to the death with him here.

But in a blink of an eye, when the soldiers heard Okita's words, they were all a little moved, and their hearts were terrified, this guy was really scheming, whether he was willing to quit or not, the morale of the soldiers had been greatly affected. But if you really hand over the grain to him, won't you become his grain transport officer?

Chang Weixin is naturally unwilling, and if he gets this batch of grain, he can survive this period of green and yellow crops, and in another month, when the early rice is down, rural households will have a large amount of grain in stock, even if they plunder villages along the coast, they can get enough grain, so that his actions will be more elusive.

"It's okay to collect their own troops. Lao Sun, prepare to burn the car and burn the grain. Chang Wei said tentatively, if you want to ask for a price, of course I have to pay it back on the spot.

"The general is witty and intelligent, and has a great future, so why bother to burn all the jade? ”

Only then did the people in the car formation understand that the premise of Okita's strike was to ask for food, and they couldn't help but look at each other, this matter was not trivial, and no one dared to make up their minds for Chang Wei, and finally their eyes fell on Chang Wei.

Yu Piaoling's eyes rolled a few times, and a naughty smile gradually appeared on her face, and she made a gesture to Chang Wei, actually asking Chang Wei to agree, knowing that Chang Wei could read lip language, and said silently word by word: "Master, promise him, I have a way!"

Then he took out a few small porcelain vases from his arms and shook them towards Chang Wei.

She hid behind the carriage, Okita naturally couldn't see it, but Chang Wei immediately understood, she was holding a porcelain bottle unique to the Tang Sect, and this girl actually wanted to poison these grains! Sure enough, I saw that she began to use a small copper pipe to introduce the secret poison of the Tang Sect into the rice bag.

Chang Wei was overjoyed in his heart, secretly praising her for her cleverness, and bargaining with Okita on the other hand, and after Yu Piaoling dispersed the poison into a dozen rice bags little by little, the conditions for the dismissal of the troops were also negotiated.

Okita confessed a few words, Kondo led the Japanese to retreat to the back of the hillside, and Chang Wei asked Lao Sun and a few people to catch more than 20 horses from the battlefield, Okita also kept his promise and did not stop it, hurriedly buried the bodies of his comrades, everyone joined Chang Wei on horseback, went up the hill where they came, and looked down, Okita had already mobilized the Japanese to block the road, and the rest began to carry grain.

"Xiao Yu, come, incense one. ”

Driving side by side with Yu Piaoling, Chang Wei lightly stretched his ape arm and hugged her, although the soldiers were sad about the death of their companions, they escaped from the tiger's mouth, they were all inexplicably excited at the moment, and they were even more strange when they saw this, and the method of motivating morale was actually very simple.

When she looked back, Qingluan was behind her, she should have been looking at Chang Wei, when Chang Wei turned back suddenly, although her eyes avoided in time, her head didn't have time to turn, and it looked extremely unnatural.

Qingluan's clothes were splashed with the blood of the enemy, mixed with the soil, which looked extremely dirty, and the disguise was not removed, it looked like a cloud of mud in the past, but perhaps because of the birth and death together, Chang Wei always felt that she in front of her was more amiable and lovely than ever, and her eyes suddenly softened.

"Junior Brother--"

She probably also noticed it, and there was shame in her eyes, seeing that Chang Wei was always staring at her intently, she gritted her teeth, turned her eyes, and looked at Chang Wei, just as she wanted to speak, Lao Sun had galloped up from behind, and said, "Lord Guogong, do we want to kill him when they get on the boat?"

"Kill, kill, kill, know kill!" Chang Wei couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, but he saw that the eyes of all the soldiers were turned, and he didn't want them to misunderstand that he was cowardly and affect his morale, so he had to explain patiently: "Okita is quite cautious in using his troops, he knows that our army lacks bows, arrows and muskets, and when he gets on the ship, he will definitely use the Japanese guns to block the beach from the sea, so as to assist the cavalry in retreating. ”

I can't help but regret in my heart that the bow and arrows I prepared were almost lost when I was ambushed, otherwise, let alone make peace with Okita, relying on the chariot formation to entangle with him, it would be easy for him to escape, but it would be wishful thinking to get away with food.

"However, I won't let Okita go easily!"

Hurried back to Zhaobao Town, found Baojia, asked for an urgent requisition of a fishing boat, heard that it was to track the Japanese Kou, Baojia immediately sacrificed his own merchant ship, the young men in the town were also all gearing up, fighting for a long time, and promoted eighteen Langli Baitiao to listen to the order under Chang Wei.

The armor collected the weapons of the town, and not only the soldiers were equipped with equipment, but even the sailors were equipped with broadswords and spears.

originally wanted to leave the injured He Chong and the poisoned Qingluan here to answer Fu Zhouzi, but He Chong refused to agree, and even assumed his official identity;

She also said that she had already bought the medicinal materials needed for the antidote in the town, so that Chang Wei did not have to worry about the Spring Breeze Pill. Although Chang Wei liked to have a strong reinforcement array, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but secretly scolded the pharmacy in Zhaobao Town, and finally had to leave Lao Sun and two wounded soldiers in the town.

Okita's flagship 'Mikasa' ironclad ship suffered heavy damage last time, and the remaining attack ships in his hands were not the opponents of the main ship of the Daming naval army, 'Cangshan Iron', and before the 'Mikasa' was not repaired, Okita did not dare to fight the Daming naval army head-on, and even became cautious about invading coastal villages.

Fighting Okita twice, he dispatched disguised merchant ships, and when it came to a real naval battle, this kind of merchant ship without long-range attack capability was not much stronger than a fishing boat.

This also prompted Chang Wei to make up his mind to follow Okita, since it was difficult to catch him on the shore, it was better to hit his lair, where there was something that Chang Wei really valued.

It's just that Okita has only been in existence for more than three years, and there is very little information about him, and his footprints of aggression have reached Quanzhou in Fujian Province in the south and Qingzhou in Shandong Province in the north, and no one knows where his base is.

However, it is only inferred that Okita's nest is probably on a deserted island in the waters around the Great Seven Islands, the Small Seven Islands and Chenqianshan Island, which is thousands of miles long, and the islands are dotted around, and it is more difficult to find it aimlessly than to climb to the sky.

In order for Okita not to detect that he was following him, it was necessary to form a situation where the two ships met by chance at the beginning, which required at least being able to judge a part of Okita's sailing route in advance, so as to catch up with him.

"Sister Ruyu, the sea is so big, you can sail anywhere, how can you judge the route of Okita in advance?" Yu Piaoling asked puzzledly, everyone didn't know anything about navigation, and naturally Yan Ruyu was dizzy.

He Chong was surprised by Yan Ruyu, who was sitting in front of the simple map to analyze the enemy's situation, and sighed in a low voice: "Your eldest young master is underdeveloped, so that's an outlier!"

"Piaoling, in fact, just as people have to walk along the road on land, the ship has to follow the route in the sea, and because there are not so many references on land in the sea, the route is extremely fixed. ”

Yan Ruyu's expression has always been quite serious, when she heard Chang Wei say that she wanted to follow Okita, her opposition was stronger than anyone else, until Chang Wei said that he must keep a distance from Okita, and once he found out, he would retreat immediately, and she did her best to plan all the preparations needed to go to sea to track.

Last year, she went to sea and went to Taiwan Island to fight, which made Yan Ruyu a qualified naval general.

"In the sea, you may not see the shadow of the land island after sailing for a few days and nights, and even the most experienced captain does not look at the chart, and does not know where he is, even if he can measure his position with the oceanic astrology, but how deep the sea water is in this place, and whether it is suitable for anchoring and mooring, all this is unknown, so the navigator opens up a route in the sea, and the data on the route is readily available, as long as you follow the route, you will know where the ship is, in the vast sea, you will not lose your way。 ”

"Just because everyone is on the same route, it is most common for two ships to meet in the sea, especially when sailing in waterways near the coast. It's a pity that we don't have a ......chart," Yan Ruyu said while secretly glancing at Chang Wei.

Chang Wei smiled.

What is on the table at the moment is a topographic map of Ningbo Prefecture, which He Chong finally got his hands on, but on this map, only the names of the nearby Zhoushan, Daishan, and Daheng Mountains are marked.

And the fishing boats in Zhaobao Town go to sea to fish as far as ten or twenty miles offshore, and the merchant ships of the Baojia family only send grain and water to the outer islands of Zhoushan.

"From Zhaobao Town to Xiaoqi Daqi and Chenqianshan Island, we must first bypass Jintangshan Island, there are two customary waterways in this waterway, but the one close to Zhoushan Island has to pass through the garrison of the Ming Army's naval division, so Okita must choose the route to the north, it takes about half an hour for Okita to transport grain on the ship, and we will wait for him in the waters near Beilie Port on Jintangshan Island first. ”

Chang Wei sat on the mast and looked south from the lookout temporarily made of fishing nets, ten miles away, still recognizable.

It has been more than an hour since they sailed out of Zhaobao Town, and the land is naturally invisible, but the sea does not feel lonely, although the merchant fishing boats coming from the south to the north are not endless, it is by no means impossible to see one for half a day, and they are really just like Yan Ruyu said, they are all traveling along the same route.

"Because this route is a golden waterway!" Yan Ruyu under the mast replied to Chang Wei's question casually, but her face was a little worried: "Have you ever noticed how many merchant ships like ours have encountered along the way?"

"There are only two. Thinking about it, Chang Wei also felt a little strange.

"Because this type of ship is not a merchant ship for the ocean, although it has a large cargo capacity, but in order to be fast, it does not have a deep draft, it does not matter in the near sea, it can enter the port in time when it encounters wind and waves, but there is no port to berth in the ocean, and it does not have a long enough anchor, once it encounters wind and waves, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Ruyu, you said we would run into wind and waves?"

Chang Wei's heart couldn't help but tighten, since that naval battle, he had an inexplicable fear of the sea: "I remember you once said that the possibility of encountering a hurricane this season is almost zero. ”

"Master, can't you say something auspicious?"

Yan Ruyu glanced at him: "The concubine is afraid, it is still reasonable for this ship to travel fifty or sixty miles into the deep sea, and it will be suspicious if it is far away." ”

He also said angrily: "I all complain that the son is anxious, and the concubine can't make up her mind, so I missed it." ”

"Give you three points of color, and you're going to open a dyeing room, but it's against you?!"

As long as I don't have to worry about my life, whether I can find Okita's nest depends on whether God will favor me or not. Hearing her complain, Chang Wei couldn't help but glare at her.

"Don't dare!" Yan Ruyu bowed her head and said respectfully.

"Hmph, why don't I have an eye to see if you dare. Seeing a hint of a smile secretly flowing from the corner of her mouth, Chang Wei laughed secretly in his heart.

Speaking of which, her temperament is really weird, she is so willing to eat those tyrannical games, when there is no one else, she even deliberately wants to do something wrong and say something wrong to stimulate Chang Wei's deep violence, and she is happy to do it, and now in the face of heavy war pressure, she is afraid that that special desire is ignited in her heart again.

After sitting in the lookout for a long time, Chang Wei's legs were almost numb from the fishing net, and at this moment he really wanted to lie down on the plump and soft female body to relax: "I really haven't done it at sea......"

As soon as the words fell, he saw Yu Piaoling coming out of the cabin, probably hearing Chang Wei's last words, Yu Piaoling asked curiously: "Master, what do you want to do at sea?"

"What else can be done, of course, is ...... "Look at the sun, it's almost noon."

"Everyone is ready, Uncle He has caught a lot of fish!" Yu Piaoling smiled like a flower: "Just wait for the master to eat." ”

Yu Piaoling is very talented in cooking, since the old man Liu, the master of Chef Song in Hangzhou Louwailou, entered the house, her cooking skills have improved day by day, and she is naturally proud of the opportunity to show her hand.

Hearing Yu Piaoling report a table of fish feasts, Chang Wei's appetite was full of appetite, and he was about to come down, but he saw a mast gradually rising on the sea level in the distance, and then the familiar hull slowly emerged.
