Wu Chuchu pointed to the pier in the distance, where there were more than a hundred boats moored on the sea. These boats belonged to fishermen.
Wu Chuchu told the fishermen that Long Chen was going to Gui Island to quell the pirates, and the fishermen volunteered to use their fishing boats as warships.
Long Chen looked at the sky and said, "Rest here tonight and set off tomorrow."
The army camped inland. The fishermen knew that the army was coming and sent fish, meat and rice one after another. Long Chen ordered them to be accepted, but they had to pay for everything.
In the Chinese army's tent, Bai Tingting asked Wu Chuchu: "Why didn't you see the big ship?"
Wu Chuchu said helplessly: "The big ships have been robbed by pirates, and these small ships are still improvised."
Wu Jian said worriedly: "If the pirates take the initiative to attack and our small boats fight against the big ships, the situation will be very unfavorable."
Wu Xiangyun said: "Actually, there are big ships, but... they belong to Nanliang, and they won't help us."
Everyone looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't look at me, I chose to attack tomorrow just because the sea water has risen, making it easier to climb onto the ghost island."
"I can think of this, and Mentaro can also think of it. This is a fierce battle."
The rising sea water can only allow the boat to avoid the reef and shorten the distance to climb to the ghost island, but there are no other changes.
Mendoro has been a pirate for so many years, and he knows the rise and fall of the tide better.
Long Chen didn't plan to use the tide to launch any sneak attacks. The other party was not a fool.
"Sir, on the sea, a small boat cannot beat a big ship."
Wu Xiangyun said in a low voice.
On rough seas, large ships just need to run wildly.
The boat will be knocked over, and the people on the boat will become targets if they fall into the water. Shoot random arrows to end the battle.
Bai Tingting said regretfully: "It would be great if there was a big ship."
Long Chen suddenly thought of something and asked Wu Xiangyun: "You just said there were big ships from Nanliang, where are they?"
Wu Xiangyun said: "In the southeast, they fish for whitebait in that area every year at this time."
Wu Jian asked: "Is the boss of the fishing boat short and fat with a mustache?"
Wu Xiangyun nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know?"
Wu Jian looked at Long Chen, Long Chen nodded slightly, Wu Jian stood up and left the tent.
"Why is he going?"
Bai Tingting asked unhappily.
This girl had just begun to fall in love with Long Chen. She thought that she was the closest to Long Chen in the whole world and could best understand Long Chen's thoughts.
But Wu Jian and Long Chen understood each other's thoughts just by exchanging glances, which made Bai Tingting very unhappy.
Long Chen smiled mysteriously: "He has a secret mission."
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were both a little surprised. Wu Jian must have gone to find the fishing boat in Nanliang, but why should the fishing boat in Nanliang pay attention to Long Chen's order?
Bai Tingting complained: "You two eunuchs really understand each other."
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "That's right, it was Wu Xiaowei who took charge of Master Long's purification in the palace."
Dugu Jiali and the other three lowered their heads and laughed secretly upon hearing this, feeling embarrassed to look directly at Long Chen.
Bai Tingting felt something was wrong and said, "That's not right. The two of them seem to have known each other for a long time. If Wu Jian and he are old acquaintances, how could Wu Jian castrate him?"
"You're not a fake eunuch, are you?"
Long Chen felt like shit, it turns out that Bai Tingting is not stupid, she could have guessed all this.
"Here, let me examine you and see if I am a eunuch."
Long Chen stood up and aimed his crotch at Bai Tingting's face.
Bai Tingting turned around in disgust: "Are you disgusting? This place is so offensive to me."
Long Chen sneered and said: "I'm going to slap your face? Be careful what I put in your mouth!"
Bai Tingting was ashamed and angry, and cursed: "Disgusting, shameless!"
Zhang Qian quickly put out the fire and said: "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go check whether the fishing boat is enough."
Zhang Qian pulled Bai Tingting out of the tent, and Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun went to help, leaving Dugu Jiali alone in the tent.
"Uh... The general also went out to check on the crossbowmen."
Dugu Jiali felt a little embarrassed, turned around and slipped out of the tent.
Everyone left, Long Chen sat in the tent meditating, waiting for news about Wu Jian.
If the prediction is correct, then the fishing boat should belong to Jin Luo. Wu Jian has a close relationship with Jin Luo, so it should be no problem to ask him to help.
It’s just that Long Chen’s identity will be...
We camped at the beach that night.
The next morning, the fishermen's boats were ready, but Wu Jian still didn't come back.
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun commanded the troops to board the ship. They were familiar with naval operations.
Bai Tingting looked at the sea in the distance on the pier and asked anxiously: "Why hasn't the dead old Wu come back?"
Long Chen asked: "Do you have a strong opinion against Lao Wu?"
Bai Tingting muttered: "Nonsense!"
Bai Tingting was wearing a white dress today, with a belt around her waist, and her waist-to-hip ratio was so incredible that Long Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Tingting scolded in a low voice.
Long Chen chuckled and said, "You have a problem with Lao Wu because he cleans me up, right?"
Long Chen stretched out his hand to touch it again, but Bai Tingting knocked it down with a palm and snorted without saying a word.
Dugu Jiali came over and asked: "Sir, the soldiers have almost finished boarding the ship, are we still waiting?"
Dugu Jiali's crossbowmen haven't boarded the ship yet, so Long Chen plans to let them and other elites take the big ship to attack the island first.
"Wait a little longer."
Long Chen looked at the sea. The sea water had risen a lot. Most of the pier was submerged. The southeast sea breeze was blowing.
Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting looked anxiously at the sea to the southeast.
In the distance, several black dots appeared, and then floated quickly in the southeast wind.
"The big ship of Nanliang!"
Wu Chuchu looked around and shouted in surprise.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Isn't this coming?"
The ship approached and saw twelve large ships. The flagship at the head was comparable to a tower ship. On the bow stood Wu Jian and a short, fat man with a mustache. This man was Jin Luo, the boss of the largest fishing ship in Nanliang.
When the fishermen saw the fleet, they came over to watch the fun.
The fleet stopped, Wu Jian and Jin Luo jumped off the bow and landed on the dock.
"This is Lord Long Chengen I told you about."
"Sir, this is Jin Luo."
Long Chen saluted politely: "Thank you, Boss Jin, for your help."
Jin Luo's face was rough and dark, but his eyes were as bright as a torch. He stared at Long Chen for a long time, his mustache suddenly raised, and he laughed and said: "Sir, why should you be so polite? It's a great honor for me to be able to work for you again."
"Brothers are aboard!"
Jin Luo shouted happily, the sailor lowered the gangway, and Dugu Jiali and the elite soldiers boarded the ship.
Jin Luo's fleet was very large, and some of the soldiers who had originally boarded the small boats were sent to the big ships.
Wu Chuchu felt very strange why Wu Jian could convince Jin Luo, and Long Chen seemed to have an old relationship with Jin Luo.
"Pervert, do you know him?"
Bai Tingting also noticed something was wrong.
Long Chen hugged Bai Tingting's slender waist and said with a smile: "Guess, I'll reward you if you guess it right."
Bai Tingting asked: "What reward?"
Long Chen touched the bottom, and Bai Tingting quickly pushed Long Chen away.
The soldiers boarded the boat, with Long Chen at the bow and Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali and a group of generals behind him.
The boss of the ship, Jin Luo, was sitting not far away, drinking wine and looking at Long Chen in trance.
"Set off!"
Long Chen gave an order, the sails were raised, and the fleet broke through the waves and sailed towards the ghost island.
