Ren Ning and Lei Er stood on the top of Nanshan Mountain, raising their telescopes and looking into the distance at the sea.
I don't know when the surroundings of Xilong Island were once again densely populated with boats of all sizes. The flags on them clearly belonged to Japanese pirates at a glance.
Hold!
Lei Er spit out the broad beans in his mouth angrily.
"That bastard Kudo Naoto moved really fast. In such a blink of an eye, he sent out all the warships and surrounded the three food islands again. He didn't give us the slightest chance for a sneak attack."
"He's not afraid of the typhoon, it just disappears temporarily..."
Lei Er smacked his lips.
If a typhoon comes back, all the Japanese pirates' generals and battalions will be sent to the bottom of the sea.
that would be nice.
Ren Ning said nothing and just glanced at Lei Er lightly.
This is too beautiful to think about. Do you really think that so many Japanese military advisers are vegetarians?
It's just a typhoon. Since all the military advisors could predict when it would come, they could certainly predict when it would leave or whether it would really leave or pretend to retreat.
“When will the windmills on the East-West Line be repaired?”
"Back to General, news came from the west yesterday. Brothers promised to repair all the windmills along the way before Youshi today."
Ren Ning nodded, turned around and continued to look towards the sea.
"Once the windmill is repaired, immediately send a letter to Jinlongtan and Beihai Customs to report the situation here. At the same time, let the East China Sea Barrier come over to kill these Japanese pirates' junk..."
Ren Ning hasn't finished speaking yet.
Report!
A messenger hurriedly climbed up.
"General, the windmill has been repaired. I just received a letter from General Wei."
"So timely?" Ren Ning was overjoyed.
When he took the letter and read it, his expression suddenly changed.
Lei Er was curious and couldn't help but come over, "General, did something happen at Beihai Customs?"
Ren Ning remained silent and handed over the letter with a strange expression.
He turned and looked west.
Facing the setting sun, the eyes are filled with dazzling light, and the Yuanning Mountains and Beiguan are already too far apart.
Ren Ning saw nothing.
He was a little distracted.
When the Starfall Army was preparing to enter Baekje, what Ren Ning was most worried about was that Star City's attitude would suddenly show hesitation or reluctance, which would ultimately lead to a dilemma for the soldiers fighting outside.
However, Wei Junqian said at that time that he had already made arrangements, so that everyone did not have to worry that Emperor Changxing would hesitate due to temporary physical pain and even withdraw the army that had entered Baekje back to the mainland.
At that time, all the generals were dubious.
Now the content of this letter says it all.
Not only did Emperor Changxing have no intention of letting them withdraw, but he also wanted the entire Xingluo Army to come forward before July 15th...
Is this the original intention of the old emperor, or is Wei Junqian really capable of seeing everything?
Ren Ning shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Pooh!
After Lei Er read the letter, he spat hard on the ground.
Previously, Kudo Naoto and Donghai Barrier had a sea battle, and Wu Siyuan on the other side of the post road had been procrastinating, even though he had a chance to win, he refused to send troops even if he was killed.
At that time, he felt the same as Ren Ning. This place was not worthy of the Xingluo people's blood. He even suggested that all the brothers should be withdrawn to the Yunchui homeland and let the Baekje people guard this shabby place.
It's better now. Emperor Changxing gave an order and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
Right here, another announcement sounded.
"General, news from Jinlongtan."
Ren Ning and Lei Er looked at each other and both laughed dumbly.
The previous violent storm destroyed the windmills along the way, causing information from various places to be blocked.
Now that the windmill has finally been restored, news from all sides is pouring in.
When he opened it and took a look, Ren Ning's hands almost trembled.
real or fake?
He quickly read it carefully again, and then handed it to Lei Er next to him, dumbfounded.
"Fuck." Lei Er was not as calm as Ren Ning. He almost jumped up as soon as he read the letter.
"What happened? Ming... disappeared in the storm? How is this possible?"
Fortunately, he still knew the importance, and when he was about to spit out the word Ming Wang, he quickly swallowed it back.
"General," Lei Er frowned, "Lu Fuhai will probably be busy looking for people now, so he won't send the East China Sea Barrier here, right?"
Ren Ning turned around and looked at the sun in the west.
He answered the question inappropriately, "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain first. We'll wait until we find out what happened at Jinlongtan."
"Then let the East China Sea Barrier come to attack Kudo Naoto, are we going to take action?"
"Fat!" Ren Ning nodded decisively, "One code is a code. Fighter opportunities are fleeting. Chen Xiuzhu is missing and is missing. Our war cannot be delayed because of him alone."
Not to mention that he is just a prince, even if the prince is missing, the battle that should be fought must be fought first.
Otherwise, when Kudo Naoto grows the food and the Japanese pirates are relieved, it will be a big disaster again.
Central Baekje, Golden Dragon Beach.
The disappearance of Chen Xiuzhu is still a secret, and only a few people know about it.
Most of the soldiers are urgently repairing the anti-landing fortifications, heavy crossbows and broken crossbows that were destroyed by the flood.
Craftsmen remade large and small crossbows.
As for the East China Sea Barrier moored in the port dock, the soldiers were also checking the status of each warship one by one.
Scrap what should be scrapped, and what should be maintained should be maintained.
"General, can we still have a ship to sail?"
The soldiers of the Panshi gathered around Wan Shilei, all of them with sad faces.
"What nonsense!" Wan Shilei kicked one of the guards hard, "You don't even have any work to do, right? Go and help the other brothers."
No one left, everyone continued to annoy him.
"General, tell the truth. We can't do anything without a boat."
"That's right, General, please give me some air."
…
Wan Shilei raised his head and took a deep look in the direction of the Chinese army.
"Don't worry. We are the trump card of the East China Sea Barrier. If the general forgets, no one will forget us. He will definitely send us a bigger and stronger Panshi again."
Alas.
"That's great. I just sank two Japanese pirate ships, and I haven't had enough."
"That's right, next time we encounter a Japanese pirate fleet, we will definitely fight against three."
"That's right, it's one versus three! Let's versus three."
The soldiers cheered and scattered in all directions.
Wan Shilei watched them go away, picked a piece of wood and sat down on it.
He groped for the numerous scars on the wood and couldn't help but look up in the direction of Jinlongtan.
I don’t know what the general is busy with these days. Since the Japanese pirates destroyed so many warships, he has not even been seen in person.
Wan Shilei has always wanted to apply for a new ship.
If it really doesn't exist, it can be done by repairing the old ship.
However, he had gone to the Chinese Army several times, but he kept being stopped by people, saying that the general was not in the Chinese Army at this time, but was discussing important military matters with General Xiao in Jinlongtan.
What is more important than revitalizing the East China Sea Barrier?
Wan Shilei patted his head and couldn't figure it out.
