Chapter 97 Donkey Driver on the Sea

Han warships were interlocked with iron ropes as thick as the mouth of a bowl. In order to ensure the stability of the ship at sea, the locks were very strong.

Dian Chu fumbled for a long time and didn't know how to open it. He got impatient and simply used his strength to break it off.

Without the iron rope to connect it, the Gaihai Tower boat suddenly moved forward a few minutes.

"What is this?"

Dianchu, who was breaking the iron rope, accidentally noticed a small detail.

It looks like there are wheels on the hull of the building boat?

"What kind of idiot put the wheels on the boat? Could it be that he drove it ashore and ran away?"

Dian Chu was amazed again and again, it was really an enlightening idea.

Liu Ke heard a loud clang on the boat and knew that the iron rope was untied.

"I'll take the helm."

He kicked the soldier at the helm aside in three strokes.

Then he told Chen Fujia:

"Let the soldiers light the tung oil and hay prepared on the boat, and wait until the rescue ship approaches Donghu to abandon the ship and escape."

"General Gan and the others are right behind and can support you at any time. Even if you don't know how to swim, there's no need to worry."

"yes"

Chen Fujia said yes and went to make arrangements.

But after taking only two steps, I realized something was wrong. I knelt down and persuaded fiercely:

"Your Majesty, you can't!"

"I know that by allowing the rescue ship to rescue the soldiers of Donghu, the navy of Donghu may rise again."

"It's just that if Your Majesty wants to use the fire ship to set fire to the rescue ship and completely destroy the Donghu Navy, he can just send his soldiers there. Why put himself at risk!"

"Our army only has two tower ships, so the value of the tower ships is needless to say. Moreover, the speed of the tower ships is not as good as that of the stern boats. In addition, if it catches fire, the speed will only be even slower!"

"How can we bypass the burned shipwrecks on the battlefield and catch up with the rescue ships far behind?"

"I'm afraid that the ship will have been burned down before it's even halfway through!"

Chen Fujia couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts at all.

You said that an emperor who was wise, powerful, resourceful, and even used the south wind to fight against the enemy and burned down the Donghu Navy, how could he make such a foolish move?

So greedy!

Even Gan Wenjin, who was good at water warfare, could only barely catch up with the rescue ship in an extremely fast boat like a stern or a swordfish boat.

Not to mention a larger and slower building ship?!

Liu Ke shook his head and just said sharply:

"This is a military order. The Chen Qing family has ordered us to go down according to my wishes. The war is urgent and there can be no delay!"

He naturally knew what the problem was, but now even if he sent Gan Wenjin to chase him in a boat, it would be of no use.

The boat can catch up and start a fire, but the fire is not big enough!

With Zhang Huaiyang's stability, he must have taken measures to set fire on the ship, and also deployed escort ships to obstruct it.

Therefore, Liu Ke could only use the building boat, and he had to sit on the building boat himself.

Needless to say, the effect of [Lutai Self-Immolation] is that the state capital of Qiongzhou City is still in ruins!

Given the size of the ship and the "Lutai Self-Immolation", if it collided with Donghu's rescue ship, the south wind would surely set the entire fleet on fire.

By then, no matter what happens again, Navy Donghu will not be able to escape.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also General Donghu, and even Puliu Rama and Zhang Huaiyang himself had to be captured in a single battle.

It can be said that the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to swim.

Only when it reaches that point can the big man truly have life.

Only then can people in the world truly see the possibility of reviving the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, no, as a minister, I naturally want to prevent the king from putting himself in danger!"

Chen Fu stood on the deck with a face on his face and just got up.

If the emperor just marches on his own, or leads a small team to attack the camp, then that's fine.

After all, it's just danger, not death.

But now he has set fire to the rescue ship in Donghu, and he has to take the helm himself. It looks like he is going to die!

The pure way to death!

"If your Majesty insists on chasing the Donghu rescue ship with the Gaihai, please get off the ship first under the protection of the imperial guards."

"Let me take the helm."

As soon as he said these words, Chen Fukia regretted it.

How could he, the dignified Chen family of Yingchuan, die here?

The glorious deeds of his mission to Yizhou have not yet spread throughout the world, and he is not even happy yet!

The current situation is that whoever is in charge will die.

If the Gaihai is lucky enough to catch up with the Donghu rescue ship, then as long as the boatmen and soldiers on the ship dive in time and cooperate with the rescue of the Han army from behind, they will probably survive.

But in all likelihood, the person who takes the helm in the end will not have time to escape.

In the midst of a fire or a violent collision with a ship, you're lucky if you don't get burned to death.

Even if he could fall into the sea alive, he would definitely not have the strength to swim.

Even for water monkeys like Gan Wenjin, there is no guarantee of survival.

Oh, I’m overthinking it. If Gan Wen was imprisoned on a boat, he would definitely not survive. He would be vomiting to the point where he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He still wanted to run away?

Seeing Chen Fujia's persistence, Liu Ke just smiled, then his voice softened slightly and he said slowly:

"In terms of the Five Virtues, what kind of virtue does a big man belong to?"

If this is the current man, he must be immoral.

However, Chen Fujia had read poetry and books since he was a child and relied on his famous family, so he naturally blurted out: "Huo De."

"Yes, Han rules Huode, so we are called Yanhan!"

"Yanhan Yanhan, that and fire are one family."

"How can this fire hurt the Emperor of Yanhan?"

Liu Ke waved his hand, his tone was serious and he could not refuse:

"Chen Qing ordered you to go down as I said. This is a military order and an imperial edict."

"If we resist both, it will be a grave crime to punish the nine clans."

"The soldiers are taking such risks, and I can't just watch them take risks."

"I have promised the soldiers a long time ago that I will fight with them and die together."

"You know, you have no joke!"

"His Majesty!"

Chen Fujia wanted to say something more, but he was speechless.

The emperor who was just waiting for the wind was like a tiger waiting for an opportunity to choose someone to devour.

Now he is like a gambler who has no money left in his pocket. He is so evil that he wants to gamble his life in exchange for ten thousand taels of gold.

However, he is not someone who wants to fight with the emperor to death. That person is called Yue Shaoqian, and he is still guarding Qiongzhou!

Chen Fujia had no choice but to follow the instructions and convey military orders to the soldiers.

Before he had taken two steps, he suddenly thought that when the emperor asked him before, he asked "Can the big man win?" instead of "Can I win?"

Could it be that at that time, he was already determined to revive the great nation by dying?

Chen Fujia couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes. Those ten thousand taels of gold were the hope of the Han people in the world!

Liu Ke sent Chen Fujia away and sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, this guy doesn't have the trait of loyalty. If Yue Shaoqian were here, I'm afraid things would be difficult.

He looked at the Donghu people's rescue ship from a distance, felt the ship's speed speeding up slightly, and knew that the boatmen and soldiers were sailing at full speed.

Without any extra thoughts, he couldn't wait to hold his hands on the rudder.

Then

The speed of the Gaihai speeded up a bit more.

Liu Ke suddenly beamed, it was so cool to cheat!

He asked craftsmen from Yizhou Shipyard to give the Gaihai some exquisite modifications.

First, four wheels were added to the hull.

Then the bow of the ship was replaced with a donkey's head.

Just in case, he also asked someone to prepare a donkey in the cabin and tie the reins to the boat.

There are donkeys and wheels that can carry people. It’s not too much to call it a donkey cart, right?

There is no ship, this is a donkey cart that can sail on the sea, and Liu Ke is the donkey cart driver on the sea!

"This fire will stretch for thousands of miles."

At some point, Liu Ke steered the ship with one hand and picked up a torch with the other hand. The fire on the ship became stronger, and he was about to hit Donghu's rescue ship.

"Want Donghu to be frightened."

The torch he held high, with blazing flames, reflected his handsome but somewhat childish face.

"I want the whole world to be shaken!"

He slammed the torch to the ground and ignited the prepared tung oil.

The moment he finished speaking to himself, there was a huge shock!

Zhang Huaiyang, who was on the Donghu rescue boat, and Puliurama, who had just been rescued by the Panchao and escaped from death, were shocked when they saw this scene.

They also expected that the Han army would not let them escape easily.

They may send swans and other small boats to pursue them, and continue to use the south wind to burn them.

Therefore, adequate fire prevention and preparations were made.

But what the hell is this?

A building ship rushed over?

Why does he drive a four-story building so fast?

The scorpion deployed to thwart the Han army's pursuit was useless and was directly knocked away!

And the fire on the ship was also huge!

Not to mention those fire prevention measures, even if the ship spends a lot of money to wrap it with cowhide to prevent fire, I'm afraid it will ignite instantly!

boom--

There was another loud noise.

The ship that was ignited by the Gaihai was suddenly swept by flames and black smoke billowed out.

The ship where Zhang Huaiyang and Puliurama were was also affected and burst into flames.

The Donghu soldiers looked at the scene in front of them in horror and were at a loss.

This is especially true for those soldiers who were rescued together with Purokurama and others.

I thought I had escaped, but I found that I had just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.

God, must they die?

They simply stopped struggling and just stood on the deck, doing whatever they wanted. They were definitely going to die today.

Puroku Rama even showed a look of despair, and Zhang Huaiyang also lost his previous calmness.

It’s over, it’s over!

It’s all over!

The fire, which was already extremely violent, quickly spread due to the south wind!

All the rescue ships were not spared. Even if there were a few boats, the boats could get out. After such a delay, the pursuit of the Han army came over!

completely annihilated!

Chen Fujia and his soldiers jumped into the sea ahead of time, but there was no harm done.

After drifting on the sea for a while, Gan Wenjin and his brothers came to pick him up.

"Master Chen, where is your Majesty?"

Gan Wenjin hadn't realized how big of a deal had happened.

This method of setting fire to a ship is common among pirates.

If you jump into the sea before the two ships collide, there will be no danger to anyone except the one at the helm.

Even if the emperor was on board, it would be considered a risk at most.

How can there be anything foolproof in an army and a war?

Moreover, the emperor's water quality could be seen clearly when he was swimming before. Even in rough seas, he could still swim freely.

If Gan Wenjin is a water monkey, the emperor is the water dragon king, and his water nature is much better than him!

"Hey! I caught a grandson!"

Lian Hansheng also came with his boat and beat up the wild dog that fell into the water.

The soldiers under his command also captured Purikrama.

But he couldn't find the rope for a while, and it looked like a big fish, and it wasn't easy to kill him directly, so he put a knife on his neck.

Puroku Rama felt the coolness on his neck and was quite impatient:

"I am a noble of the Puliuru Tribe, how can I be inflicted with swords?"

Lian Hansheng frowned, looked at him as if he were a fool, and slapped him with a big palm:

"What kind of king are you?"

"I am the king"

Another big fight.

"What kind of bastard are you?"

"My king."

Snapped.

".eight."

Seeing that Puliu Rama was much more honest, Lian Hansheng also asked Chen Fujia:

"Master Chen, your Majesty should be on the Gaihai with you, right?"

"Where is your Majesty? I need to give your Majesty some good advice."

"This time something unexpected happened, it would really be a troublesome thing for Hu Gou to be rescued, but next time we must not risk his fortune!"

Chen Fujia still didn't respond, but kept looking at the sea.

But he never found the figure he was looking for.

Did everything possible today!!
