"Brother Hong, I'm still a little worried. Except for Wu Yong, the other captains have never been here, and even the Song Dynasty has never been here. Will they make any mistakes?" Luo Youde couldn't stay in the bottom cabin at all. He was surrounded by sailors and 6 team members. The tense atmosphere also infected him. He simply ran to Hong Tao with Wen Nan, intending to listen to a few more words of comfort, no matter whether it is true or false, it can make Xiaoxin not jump to life. √

"In this case, it is even less likely for people who have never been here, because they will not think randomly and will only follow the orders. Ten thousand people are like one person. As for mistakes, it is inevitable. As long as it is a person, it will make mistakes. If you are afraid, go to the back garden boat with Lao Wen. It is at the end of the fleet. Even if there is a mistake, run faster. By the way, I forgot to tell you that it is actually the same in the head and tail boats. Do you feel it? The tide has arrived. Even if you want to turn around and run, it is too late. No matter how powerful the sails are, it cannot resist it.

The power of the tide is that unless you can drive Xiaoqi's big iron ship over. Receive your fate, Lao Luo, the most unwise thing you have done in your life is that you shouldn't have passed by that sea that day, and you even provoked me with a naughty voice. Otherwise, you might be a rich businessman in Qiongzhou City. What's wrong with fighting or not? If you marry more than ten concubines and have more than a dozen sons, you will be confused for the rest of your life." If Hong Tao can comfort others, it is that he has drunk too much or smoked too much. The only thing he can give others is excitement. The more you are afraid of him, the more scared you, and it is not enough to say that you want to commit suicide.

"...It's right, it's all my fault for being greedy back then. You know that it's like this now. I should have let the sea boat sail over your head, so as not to harm people everywhere." He was scolded for no reason, and Luo Youde forgot his fear for the time being and began to squirt with Hong Tao.

"Brother Luo, you are fooled again. He is distracting your attention. Isn't you as nervous as before?" The bystander Qing, Wen Nan immediately noticed Hong Tao's trick.

"You can't be a little normal? You've become an old man, why are you still thief?" When Wen Nan reminded him, Luo Youde also understood. It's true that he is not nervous anymore, because the tension has been replaced by anger.

"Hehehe... You two are getting harder and harder to cheat. This is boring. It's better to be stupid. I advise you two not to suffer here. War is not your specialty, and I don't have time to chat with you. If you have time, you might as well go to the cabin to discuss how to face your former official family and the large group of officials of the Song Dynasty. Fighting is my responsibility, and grinding teeth with them is your task. Don't expect me to be kind-hearted. If they scold me too hard, don't blame me for turning against me. Come, tell me, what should I do if I insult the messenger in public?"

Hong Tao was not nervous on the surface, but in fact he was fooling around in his heart. This was not a joke. If something went wrong on the way, it would be a life-threatening death. With such a big tide, it would be very dangerous to have a warship in the wrong direction. Once the ship capsizes, let alone survive, it would be a blessing to have a full body. At this time, his energy was adjusted to those small eyes. Even if he couldn't see clearly the appearance of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, he tried to see it clearly, and he didn't have time to play with Luo Youde and Wen Nan.

"Burn to death with divine fire, let his soul suffer forever and not get rest!" The Indian gunner answered Hong Tao's question again.

"You...you learn from him, sooner or later!" Luo Youde was gloating this time. He knew that the Indian gunner's answer might be a reality. Most of the expeditionary fleet were Indian sailors and soldiers. As long as Hong Tao gave the order, they would not hesitate to burn the entire Lin'an City. This was not a sin for them, but a reward, and it was a dedication to the god they believed in, which was natural.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, don't worry, your temper with the sailor is useless, and he doesn't know what you are talking about. Let's go, Brother Hong is right. Let's come back with him, just to make up for the leaks. Let's go back to the cabin, we really have to discuss and deal with those officials of the Song Dynasty. I have dealt with them a lot, which is difficult!" Wen Nan couldn't stand it anymore. Luo Youde and an Indian soldier were right. Isn't this asking for abuse by himself?

Twenty-one warships lined up in a row. Even if they used very dense intervals, the distance between each ship was less than 200 meters, and a long line of more than five kilometers was drawn. In addition, a string of mast lights hung on the masts of each warship were like a big water snake covered with red scales, pushed by the tide and meandered forward. The snake head had already penetrated into the entrance of the Qiantang River, and the snake tail was still in Hangzhou Bay.

"Military Head! Military Head! Look north, what is that thing!" Such a strange landscape, even if there were clouds covering the moon that night, no one would appear. The brigged clutch of Mingzhou Water Village was turning around and preparing to return to the water village before the tide completely rose. The unlucky lookout hand on the mast saw a string of red dots on the sea surface and couldn't help but shout.

"What else can you do in this ghost weather? Are you greedy? It's a pity that it's a bit late. There's nothing you can do about this pot of wine, hahahaha..." Liu Juntou on the deck raised his head impatiently, raised the bottle of wine in his hand to the lookout hand on the mast, raised his neck, and poured the last sip of wine into his mouth.

"It's true...it's still moving!" The lookout hand rubbed his eyes, and was a little doubtful if it was dazzled by the wind, and then twisted his head to the right ninety degrees again. After more than ten seconds, he was sure that his eyes were normal, and the long snake with red light was swimming in the Qiantang River.

"... That's the god of tide... He came with the tide! Hurry up, come down, let's go back to get the sacrifice, the god of tide appears!" Liu Juntou, who was disturbed by the lookout hand, finally stood up, pulled the rigging a few steps and climbed up another mast, standing in the northwest direction of the ground, rubbing his eyes and looking again, rubbing again! After a few times, he stared at his eyes that had been red and swollen by himself, bringing an even more outrageous answer to the crew.

But this unreliable answer can make people believe it even at this time. Even the lookout hand on the mast believed it. While climbing down, he secretly praised his military head's wisdom and knowledge, and even the Chaos God knew him! Fortunately, he followed such a military head, otherwise if he really disturbed the Chaos God, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, the briggish clutch was like a motive, and soon returned to the navy camp outside the Mingzhou port.

Hong Tao did not know that his fleet's whereabouts were almost revealed by the Song Dynasty Navy, and he did not care about this issue. Because the tide is getting bigger and bigger now, even if the Song Dynasty Navy appears, they would be very afraid to sail to chase him, so that the sea ship is impacted by the sea tide, and the possibility of overturning is very high.

When we were outside the river estuary, although the tide was not small, there were not many abnormal feelings on the ship. However, when the flagship entered the river estuary, the situation immediately changed. The ship seemed to be pushed by something suddenly and rushed forward. Hong Tao leaned on the side of the ship and felt the feeling of pushing the back. At this time, the sound of the waves slamming against the hull was no longer in a rhythmic sound, but turned into a sound similar to a low roar, without interruption, and always a tone.

The tide from outside the bay rushed into the inland river along the shape of the trumpet in Hangzhou Bay, concentrating its energy to the only way out, on the Qiantang River. With billions of tons of sea water, it roared back into the Qiantang River several times higher than the rising tide. Moreover, as the river surface became narrower, the tide became faster and faster, and the tide became higher and higher, and it really turned into a water wall more than four meters high. Just a few hundred meters ahead of the flagship, even in the dark night, you can see the white waves that rolled up, and you can even feel the water mist that was stirred up by it.

"Salt down! All down, now it is a crosswind, and you can only rely on the rudder to control the direction. Notify the helmsman on the ship behind and let them open their eyes wide if they don't want to be swallowed by the tide!" Even if they can't see the markers on both sides of the strait, Hong Tao could instinctively feel that the course of his ship was slightly southward, but Wu Yong did not give the order to turn the rudder. Soon, Hong Tao used his experience to find the reason for pushing the warship to decelerate, and the sails were the culprits. Because the sailing was too fast and the crosswind was also crosswind, the sails became the wings of the aircraft, pushing the ship to the left. At this time, it was really useless to ask for sails, but it was a burden.

The sails were all lowered, and the warship finally stabilized its course, but the problem arose. When driving at a certain level, the timing of steering is very particular. If the steering is fast, it will slip like a high-speed car and then be pushed down directly by the tide. If the steering is slow, such a heavy warship will not have time to complete the steering movement along the river channel, and the result will not be much better. It will rush up the river bank and then be swallowed by the tide.

At this time, it depends on the ability of Wu Yong and his companions. When to turn and how much each time it is, it is related to the life and death of the entire fleet. Hong Tao also regretted it a little. If he had known that this would be the case, it would be better to attack directly during the day. He would rather strike hundreds of warships of the Song Dynasty Navy face to face than play such a game with Chao Shen. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Now he not only cannot regret it, but also has to show a particularly confident look and not question every order from Wu Yong, so as not to cause doubts from the crew.
