A Clash of Gods Chapter 968: Shark catching operation
Shen Liangqiu’s plan was thorough, and Qi Ning knew that in order to catch the black tiger shark, the general Shen really did lose a lot of thoughts.
"Does the sailor often patrol the sea?" Qi Ning asked.
Shenliang Qiudao: "Several ships are sent out every month, and occasionally dozens of ships are sent out. One is to deter sea gangsters from making them dare to approach the coast. In addition, it is also used for training. This time, three men and horses are dispatched in the name of patrolling the sea. This is also a matter that the sailor has several times a year. Even if the pirates get the wind, they will never know our real intentions. The other two patrols follow the usual practice The sea, and the humble will not disclose this action to them, so they should only be a real cruise."
"Using those two groups of horses as a cover, the sea bandits couldn't figure out our true intentions, and then stabbed the black tiger shark quietly like a sharp blade, which was good." Qi Ning thought for a moment. Finally said: "Since there is such an opportunity, even if the information is inaccurate, it really should not be missed. General Shen, when are you going to leave?"
Shen Liangqiu agreed with Qi Ning and immediately said: "Hou Ye, the three clippers used this time can walk more than ten nautical miles every hour, but in order to achieve the purpose of a sudden attack, we try to avoid this trip as much as possible The area where the bandits are active." Open your hand and press your palm on an area on the chart, explaining: "So we should avoid this area as much as possible." Stretch out a finger and draw an arc, softly : "As a result, we need to go around in the southeast direction, so that to reach the Unnamed Island, it may take more than 50 or 60 nautical miles of the road, which adds up to more than 300 nautical miles!"
"That is to say, from here, it will take up to two days to arrive?"
Shen Liang Qiu Qi first said: "We are non-stop day and night, if everything goes well, you should be able to arrive within two days." Archer said: "Hou Ye, it's not too late, humble will be ready to set off tonight, please also Hou Ye sit in town Sailors, waiting for the good news of the humble general!"
"General Shen said to keep Ben Hou in the camp?" Qi Ning sighed: "The old Hou Ye asked Ben Hou to come to the East China Sea to find out the cause of death of the Governor-General. Now that he knows the death and darkness of the Governor-General Regarding the tiger shark, how could Ben Hou sit here and wait, naturally seeing the black tiger shark being caught. (The fastest update)"
Shen Liangqiu stunned, surprised: "Hou Ye, do you mean?"
"General Shen must not misunderstand." Qi Ning laughed: "This operation, Ben Hou went with you, just to see the Black Tiger Shark caught and brought to court, and never wanted to attack General Shen. Thoughts."
Shen Liangqiu was taken aback and immediately knelt down on one knee. Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo also knelt down immediately. Shen Liangqiu said with a trace of panic: "There will never be such an idea, Hou Ye!"
"I know I know." Qi Ning lifted Shen Liangqiu and said with a smile: "This operation, Ben Hou is just a spectator. You can rest assured that before the operation is over, you will be in charge of everything. Ben Hou will never interfere. This matter. You should be Benhou as a sailor on your ship."
Shen Liangqiu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The humble will not have other ideas, but worry about the safety of Hou Ye. In order to be as secret as possible, there are not many people, once once!"
"General Shen is worried about being trapped by the bandits?" Qi Ning laughed: "Don't you say that all three of us are clippers? If we are really in danger, even if we retreat, the bandits will not catch up. "Tap Shen Liangqiu's arm and say, "You don't have to look forward and back. This time, we will call it shark catching operation and hope to succeed. If you really catch the black tiger shark, you will not only get rid of a big disaster in the East China Sea. , And can also comfort the Governor-General in the spirit of the sky, when the prince will personally write to the court, give your credit, the court has its own awards."
Shen Liangqiu bowed solemnly: "Humble Lord Xie Hou Ye!"
After deliberation, Shen Liangqiu led Qi Ning to the beach, looking out, and the sea was orderly docked with naval warships, with masts like forests.
Qining also knew a little about sailors earlier. Today, the East China Sea Marine Division has 20,000 troops and more than 200 warships. Although its strength and combat experience are slightly inferior to that of the East Qi Marine Division, except The Dongqi Marine Division and the East Sea Marine Division are already the most powerful marine corps under the sky.
The Donghai Sea Master was formed by Jindao Houtaitaihuang, and it is also the most powerful strength of the Jindaodantai family. Over the years, the Dantai family has not had to bother about 200 ships. Half of the warships were built every year after the formation of the East China Sea Division, which cost a lot of financial and material resources, but the performance of the warships is also very good.
The warship that Qi Ning saw was not equipped with artillery. He knew that the artillery had not yet appeared at this time.
East Marine Division’s warships are large and small, the largest one can hold two or three hundred people, the smallest one can hold thirty or forty people, and fifteen big ships are the main force of the East Sea Division. Warship.
The fifteen warships were built after the formation of the East China Sea Army, and a large amount of silver was allocated from the court. Like fifteen sea monsters, the warships were equipped with catapults at the bow and stern. When engaging in long-distance combat with enemy ships, bows and arrows and catapults have become the most reliable weapons. Once approaching enemy ships, collision with enemy ships has become an important means of combat.
The bow and stern of the battleship are equipped with armor, and the spikes are deliberately extended, which is used for close combat.
The three clippers mentioned by Shen Liangqiu are already docked on the shore, and they are ready to go at any time. The steers, food, and clear water on the ship are all ready, because of the speed, the volume of the three ships They are not very big, and the gap between the main battleship of the East Sea Marine Division is not small, but it is much larger than the ordinary fishing boat.
Each clipper can accommodate up to forty people. Shen Liangqiu plans to arrange 30 elite soldiers on each ship, but Qi Ning wants to participate in this operation. Hou Ye goes out, and ten guards like Wu Dalin will naturally follow, so The total number is one hundred. Shen Liangqiu can only change his plan. He transfers five people from the boat he rides to the other two ships. Qi Ning and the ten men will ride the Shen Liangqiu ship.
At dusk, Shen Liangqiu issued a general order, and the soldiers who had been dispatched in advance immediately boarded the ship. Qi Ning saw the soldiers in an orderly manner, without any sense of clutter, but he was quite admired in his heart. The division was indeed trained to become a combatable army.
Twenty thousand sailors are the base of the Dantai family, so the selection of soldiers is also very strict. .
Observing the actions of these naval forces, Qi Ning knew that the East China Sea Marine Army had indeed undergone extremely strict training, and the order was forbidden.
Zhu Shuo and Tang Hui also led the soldiers to board the ship. Shen Liangqiu invited Qi Ning to board the ship. Wu Darin and others had already put on sailor uniforms and followed Qi Ning to board the ship.
Before it gets dark, the Three Route Marines set off separately, all the way to the northeast, all the way to the southeast, and the three fast boats to the east.
The most important thing about sailing on the water is to be able to identify the direction. Fortunately, Sinan has appeared in this era. There are special people on board to control the direction. In fact, for people who have lived on the sea for a long time, the direction can even be roughly judged from the wind direction.
Shenliangqiu carries the charts of the East China Sea. As the commander of the East China Sea division, this map is naturally the most accurate chart at present. However, the islands and reefs found on the map are almost always the exact location, and Shenliangqiu. I have already determined the exact location and distance of the Unnamed Island, and then according to the speed of the boat, you can judge how far away it is from the Unnamed Island.
These sailors are carefully selected soldiers, not only dragons and tigers, but also very familiar with the marine environment.
Some people have paid attention to the direction. Some people have tested the speed of the ship. Various messages have been sent to Shenliangqiu. Shenliangqiu can use the information on hand to control the direction of the boat. Tang Hui and Zhu Shuo’s two fast boats are like The two wings generally follow on both sides, like three arrows swiftly sailing at sea.
Because Qi Ning accompanied him, the only two cabins on the ship made one room for Qi Ning to rest, and the other one served as Shen Liangqiu's command room.
In the early morning of the next day, Qi Ning saw the rising sun rising from the bow, confirming the direction of the ship.
It’s a good day today. After a night of sailing, the ship has already moved away from the coastline. The vast sea added a little bit of anger.
"Hou Ye got up early!" Qi Ningzheng felt relaxed and relaxed. There was a voice behind him. He didn't have to look back. Qi Ning had heard Shen Liangqiu. He looked back and saw Shen Liangqiu coming over, nodding with a smile: "General Shen was very late yesterday Go to sleep?"
Shen Liangqiu looked a little bit haggard~IndoMTL.com~ I knew at a glance that I stayed overnight.
Shen Liangqiu just smiled and walked to the penetrating railing, saying: "Navigating at sea, during the day is okay, I am afraid that the weather will change suddenly at night. Once the storm is coming, it will be a little trouble. There was a faint thunder last night. Humble will really worry about the storm, but fortunately all goes well."
"Everything goes well." Qi Ning smiled: "If you can successfully catch the black tiger shark, this trip will be very rewarding."
Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly, Qi Ning suddenly asked: "General Shen, I heard that you are the old son of the old Hou Ye?"
Shen Liangqiu was stunned, apparently did not expect that Qi Ning would suddenly mention this topic, hesitated, and then nodded lightly: "Back to Hou Ye, my father followed the old Hou Ye to fight and became a brother. After his father passed away, yes The old Hou Ye raises the humble adult, and accepting the humble will be the righteous son."
"Old Hou Ye mentioned it." Qi Ning sighed: "Old Hou Ye also said that you had the same temperament with the second son of Dantai in the same year, and also became the Jinlan brothers. Later, the second son died due to illness, your heart Sorrowful, I went out for three years."
Shen Liangqiu looked sad and smiled bitterly: "Bei will always be taken care of by the second son. He will be treated like a brother. He will die suddenly, and he will be really unbearable. In the past few years, he is actually in order to ease his heart. "Sorrow." Looking up at the sky, muttering: "If the second son is alive, it will be my great Chu's talent!"
