Chapter 971 The Sound of Killing on the Lonely Island
Every detail of the shark catching plan was carefully deployed before setting off, and everyone under his command knew where their respective tasks were.
In order to avoid being discovered by the black tiger shark on the island, the ship naturally did not go to the dock. All those involved in the action had to change to the waterside and then dive to the shore. This was no problem for the sailors. The East China Sea sailors were all water mice, and the water quality was excellent. It was a piece of cake to dive to the shore, but Wu Dalin and his group were a little troublesome.
According to the plan, Wu Dalin and others also had to land on the shore to defend themselves, but four out of ten people were not good at water.
Although Wu Dalin and others were all from military backgrounds, they all fought on land and had never been trained in water. They suddenly had to dive in the deep sea. It was really difficult for a few people to be unavailable.
Fortunately, Wu Dalin was familiar with the nature of water and could only take five people to land. Chen Liangqiu originally wanted to send a few people to Wu Dalin, but Qi Ning had already ordered him to get a set of water for him.
"Marty, you can just wait on the boat. We know nothing about the situation on the island. You must not take any risk easily." Chen Liangqiu saw that Qi Ning was about to land, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
Qi Ning smiled and said, "General Chen is worried too much. We have a hundred people, and they are all fully armed. No matter how powerful the black tiger shark is, can it hurt me? Don't worry, everything goes as planned."
Seeing that Qi Ning insisted, Chen Liangqiu knew that there were many people on his side, and Qi Ning was not weak at the moment, so he stopped persuading him and ordered him to come to get the water.
Qi Ning and everyone changed into the water, and then they got into the water one after another from the side of the ship. Everyone had already brought their weapons. In addition to the big sword, half of them were equipped with arrowheads.
The operation of arrows is much easier than that of bows and arrows, and is also a powerful weapon in the army. However, because the production cost is higher than that of bows and arrows, there are not a large number of assembly in the army. Among the various legions of the Chu State, there are only a small number of crossbow soldiers.
One of the assessments of the water quality of sailors is that they must not make sounds when they are in the water. Therefore, the people under Chen Liangqiu are really silent when they are in the water, which is even more water rats than water rats. Although Wu Dalin and other guards are far less capable in the water than these sailors, fortunately it is already late at night, and the wind and waves on the sea are much bigger, especially when they are close to the shore, the waves slapped at the shore from time to time, making a clattering sound. Therefore, even if Wu Dalin and others make sounds in the water, they are completely covered by the sound of the waves.
Qining's water quality is indeed very impressive. The sea is dark and crowded. When everyone knows the location of the Unknown Island, they naturally don't worry about turning the direction.
It took more than half an hour to approach the shore. According to the plan in advance, it was necessary to siege from all sides. The front was handed over to Wu Dalin and others. Therefore, when Chen Liangqiu and others were about to dock, they separated left and right and went around the island to other directions. It had been estimated in advance. It would take more than half an hour to wait until the other three people arrived at the location. So, it would take more than half an hour to really start the action, so after an hour, that is, it would be late at night.
At that time, it was also the time when people's bodies were most relaxed and weak. Once a sudden attack was launched, the possibility of catching the black tiger shark alive would be much greater.
Qi Ning led Wu Dalin to the coast in the night. Although it was still in the night, the scene on the island could be roughly seen. The island was mostly bare rocks, but there were still some trees around it. It was not very beautiful, but it also had a unique view.
This island is not big. There are some jungles and two protruding stone peaks in the center of the island. The stone peaks are not very high, but they are rugged. Qi Ning knows that if the black tiger shark hides on the island, it will definitely be invisible.
According to Chen Liangqiu's plan, there is no need to search forward, but just stand by on the coast. Once the Black Tiger Shark and others really flee here, they can catch turtles in the jar.
In front of Qi Ning and a group of people, Chen Liangqiu also arranged for people to ambush the ship. The two spies who had landed on the island before knew where the ship was hiding. They went through the night to touch the edge of the cave in front of them, and hid nearby in the pile of rocks near the cave. They were all hiding in hiding, waiting for the black tiger shark to appear.
Qi Ning and others were waiting on the beach. There were several large rocks on the beach, which could be hidden behind the rocks with rocks.
The moonlight is cold, and the waves are rolling towards the shore from time to time, washing the beach. Qi Ning leans against the rocks, looking at the waves rolling over under the night, listening to the sound of the tides, it is very comfortable.
Wu Dalin's primary responsibility is to protect Qi Ning's comprehensiveness, so he has always followed Qi Ning and sat next to Qi Ning at this time. He has never been a talkative person. If Qi Ning doesn't speak, he dares not say much.
Suddenly, Qi Ning asked, "Commander Wu, do you think that after Dan Tai Zhilin's death, who is the most suitable person in the Great Chu to take over as the Navy's Chief Governor?"
Wu Dalin was transferred from Yulin Camp to Heilin Camp as deputy commander. At this time, Qi Ning directly called him Commander Wu, but it was also a kind of respect for him.
Not many people know about Dan Tai Zhilin's suicide. Wu Dalin actually hadn't seen Dan Tai Zhilin's body with his own eyes, but he followed Qi Ning every day, and the officials of the Ministry of Justice who accompanied him had already known about this, so Wu Dalin had heard of it.
But he didn't expect Qi Ning to suddenly ask him such a question. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mr. Marquis, I can't say it well!
"Don't be afraid of talking to me." Qi Ning smiled and said, "You are from the army and know more about the rules in the army than me. And you have been a general for a long time, with ups and downs, and you have more insights into such things."
Wu Dalin hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Marty, I'll be brave enough to say something bluntly. If the court has a famous general who is famous all over the world, it's like the general of Qi. No matter where the court transfers such a famous general, the soldiers will not have any extra words."
General Qi naturally refers to Qi Jing, the deceased general of the Qinhuai Legion, who was a famous general who was famous all over the world.
"Then do you think there are such a general in the court?"
Wu Dalin wanted to speak but stopped, but when he saw Qi Ning looking at him with a calm expression, he was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I think that except for the old Marquis of Jindao, there seems to be no other military general in the court with such reputation. However, the old Marquis of Dan Tai is over 70 years old and in poor health, so it is impossible for him to take on the burden of the East China Sea Navy again."
"In other words, the court really has no suitable candidate?"
"Mr. Marquis, I am humble in my opinion. If a general in the army passes away, the best way is not to transfer generals from outside, but to directly promote generals from the army." Wu Dalin whispered: "The people who promote in the army are already very clear about the big and small things in the army. Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake in the external general, it may cause unstable morale in the army."
Qi Ning nodded slightly. Seeing Qi Ning's expression, Wu Dalin knew that Qi Ning agreed with his words and became a little confident. He then said, "This time the situation is even more special. Our Great Chu only has one naval army, the East China Sea Navy. The navy generals are no more generals than other legions. If you cannot be familiar with the water affairs and send people here at will, it will be counterproductive."
"What you said makes sense." Qi Ning agreed: "Then what do you think of Shen Liangqiu?"
Wu Dalin hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Actually, I think that if the East China Sea Navy wants to promote one person to replace the Grand Governor of Dan Tai, no one is more suitable than Chen Liangqiu."
"Do you think so?"
Wu Dalin nodded and said, "Yes. Chen Liangqiu is the deputy general of the Grand Commander, with outstanding talents and always trusted by the Grand Commander. Previously, Bei Zhi and the Marquis entered the East China Sea Naval Camp, and it was obvious that the naval soldiers were very awe of Chen Liangqiu. General Chen must have a high prestige in the East China Sea Naval Division. This time, General Chen's plan to capture the black tiger shark was very detailed, and he was obviously very familiar with the environment of the East China Sea, so Bei Zhi felt that if he really wanted to find a suitable naval general to take over the position of Naval Division Grand Commander, no one was more suitable than General Chen."
Qi Ning thought about something and was silent for a moment before finally saying: "You don't have much contact with him, and even you feel this way. I'm afraid the East China Sea Navy will think so. If the court issued an order to have General Shen as the Grand Governor of the Shuai Navy, it should be considered a place for everyone to expect."
Wu Dalin whispered: "Marty, the court has not issued an order to send a new Grand Commander to this time. If General Chen can really capture the Black Tiger Shark this time, the court may really consider it. Moreover, Chen Liangqiu has a close relationship with the Dan Tai family and can be considered as a member of the Dan Tai family. If Old Marquis of Jindao!" Speaking of this, he seemed to feel something was wrong and dared not continue to say the following words.
Qi Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Say whatever you want, there is no need to look forward to it."
"Yes." Wu Dalin lowered his voice and said, "The Dan Tai family would never want the efforts of their two generations to work hard into the hands of others. Therefore, the old Marquis of Jindao will definitely fight for the new Grand Governor. He thought that if General Chen took over the position of Grand Governor, with the relationship between General Chen and the Dan Tai family, the old Marquis of Dan Tai should not object."
Qi Ning didn't say anything, but just looked up at the night sky, thinking about something.
Time passed, and I don’t know how long it took, but Qi Ning suddenly heard a sound of killing sound, his face tightened, and he turned around and lay on the rock. His action immediately made Wu Dalin and others alert, and they all held the hilts in their hands, lay behind the rock and looked towards the center of the island.
Qi Ning's ears were amazing, so it was natural to be the first to discover. At this time, Wu Dalin had already noticed it, his expression was cold, and he lowered his voice: "Marty, they have already taken action. It seems that the black tiger shark is indeed on the island."
Even if the ships were found on the island before, everyone could not completely determine that there must be people on the island, and they were black tiger sharks. But now when they heard the sound of killing, everyone knew that there were people on the island.
