Xu Zufa became nervous in an instant, and his heart became suspended.

He is the prefect of Xuzhou, but if something happened in Xuzhou and he didn't even know about it, then it would be impossible for him or her to escape the charge of negligence.

For a moment, Xu Zufa became flustered.

"Your surname is Xu. It's interesting to know Xuzhou."

Suddenly, a sound brought Xu Zufa back to reality.

He raised his head and saw that His Highness the Emperor Taisun had put down the long tube at some point and turned to look at him.

Xu Zufa was so excited that he hurriedly started to perform rituals again.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at the official of Xuzhou, the prefecture: "I don't need to be a formality. I just asked you to come here. I just didn't want you to go to the wrong place and be scared. Here, I will accompany you alone.

Watch a good show."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi gestured to Yu Tian beside him.

Yutian took a telescope from the side and sent it to Xu Zufa. Others also sent a telescope to Dai Chi and Peng Jingxiu.

Xu Zufa was already full of doubts.

At this time, a group of people came quickly from the foot of the mountain.

They are all dressed like fishermen here in Xuzhou Prefecture.

Xu Zufa was completely confused and had no idea what fun show he would watch next.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Nan Tianpeng who was coming with his people, with a smile on his face: "Are you all ready?"

Nan Tianpeng still had moisture on his body, so he bowed and saluted from a distance: "Your Highness, everything is ready. The brothers are already heading towards the fleet now."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and stopped talking. Under Xu Zufa's gaze, he once again picked up the telescope and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the fleet of ships in the distance with countless lights on because the sun had completely set.

Xu Zufa, Dai Chi, and Peng Jingxiu imitated the emperor's grandson and put the telescope in front of their eyes.

The cylinder was suddenly enlarged and pulled into the canal in front of them. The three of them were frightened and their whole bodies trembled violently.

But the next moment, the scene of the fleet moored on the canal attracted the three of them.

In the middle of the fleet, the ships carrying grain and grass were unloading from the ships to the shore under the illumination of countless lights.

Is that also food?

Xu Zufa and the others were puzzled. If what the fleet is unloading now is grain and grass, then what is loaded on the carriage at the foot of Data Mountain?

Don’t wait for the three of you to find out.

On the river at the head and tail of the fleet, stars of fire suddenly appeared. Through the telescope, the three of them seemed to be able to hear bursts of roaring sounds.

Those small boats covered the entire river, rushing towards the fleet.

Within a few moments, there was chaos on the river bank.

Xu Zufa finally saw clearly what those things were carried off the ship.

It’s bags of stones!

This is a trap!

In an instant, Xu Zufa understood exactly what was happening now.

There are thieves in Xuzhou Prefecture who want to rob food.

Xu Zufa held the telescope in his hand, but drops of sweat were already oozing out of his palms.

However, the voice of the emperor's grandson entered Xu Zufa's ears at this moment.

"Let's just watch and see what these people will do."

Xu Zufa swallowed his saliva and stared at what was happening in the telescope with wide eyes.

boat

The warships at the head and tail of the team had already made a thunderous roar, huge flames burst out from the warships, and fire bombs were fired from the warships towards the river boats rushing over from the river.

However, it seems that these shells are not accurate at all today, and can only set off huge waves of spray and mist on the river.

Finally, a trumpet sounded from the treasure ship.

The warships at the head and tail of the fleet began to set sail and move.

As the warships started to launch, the small boats rushing towards the fleet also began to turn around and flee in the direction they came from, as if they were extremely unwilling to be crushed by those huge warships and sink to the bottom of the river.

A chase and an escape situation began between the two.

This must be to distract the warships, and then there will be an ambush to attack the fleet!

Xu Zufa didn't understand the art of war, but he still understood the actions of those river boats that rushed towards the fleet first and now started to flee.

He couldn't help but turn his telescope to the treasure ship parked on the river, wondering if the commander on the ship didn't even understand this?

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the warships at the head and tail of the fleet had sailed a long way away.

Then, on the north bank of the river, in the direction of Datong Mountain, two groups of people rushed to the river, pushing carriages filled with things.

Subsequently, these heavily loaded carriages were thrown into the river.

In the blink of an eye, the river was filled with blockages.

It is impossible for the warship to come back for rescue!

Although when the chaos just broke out, Xu Zufa saw that those moved from the cargo ship were stones.

But now that the river is blocked and there are no warships in line, even if these thieves cannot grab food and grass, what if they set the fleet on fire?

Xu Zufa didn't dare to think about it.

The treasure ship is the ship of the emperor's grandson, which is equivalent to the dignity of the imperial court outside.

At this time, as the river is blocked.

On the bank of the canal in the direction of Datongshan, no less than two thousand men and horses suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and began to rush towards the fleet with long ladders, pontoon boats, etc.

Xu Zufa moved the telescope forward a little, and looked carefully at the emperor's grandson beside him.

There seems to be no reaction.

Xu Zufa couldn't help but frown.

Wait until he focuses his attention on the telescope again.

Suddenly, he discovered that from under the slope on this side of the river, there were artillery pieces pushed up to the embankment.

One by one, the officers and soldiers flattened the muzzles of the cannons, facing the thieves rushing over from the other side.

On the decks of the cargo ships docked on the shore, raincloths were lifted one after another, and artillery pieces were revealed on the other side of the river.

These are the artillery installed on the warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

Almost instantly, before Xu Zufa could react, a huge bright light erupted on the entire canal.

Then, an invisible air wave spread through the telescope, and then there was a huge roar that spread from the river all the way to Data Mountain.

Xu Zufa's hands trembled and his whole body was shaken.

The telescope couldn't help but shake.

The scene in the lens jumped from the fleet and the artillery to the thieves on the other side.

The next moment, a scene appeared that Xu Zufa would never forget in his life.

I saw the continuous roar of artillery.

Cannonballs flew across the river one after another, plunged into the crowd on the other side, exploded in the air, and exploded into countless small fragments.

Then there were balls of bright red blood mist and countless pieces of flesh, together with the stumps and broken arms, exploding in mid-air.

One cannonball can almost take away the lives of three or five thieves, while those who are far away will be overturned by the air waves of the cannonball. Before these people can land, they will be hit by the exploding cannonballs next to them.

Then it turned into a ball of blood mist.

In the gaps between these gunfires.

From the treasure ships and cargo ships on the river, there are even more pairs of crossbows shooting crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm. The arrow is like a shovel, shoveling the thieves in the gap between the shells into two pieces like cutting a melon.<

/p>

Then, the crossbowmen and archers on the ship fired their bows and arrows one after another, and fell into the group of thieves on the other side.

It was almost one-sided suppression, without any procrastination.

Seeing this, Xu Zufa was already convinced that this was a trap that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun had set long ago, and he was just waiting for these thieves to arrive and plunder the fleet, so as to destroy it in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness, they want to escape!"

Seeing that the thieves who had turned into cannon fodder began to show signs of turning around and fleeing, Xu Zufa couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Prefect Xu might as well watch it for a while longer."
