But Di Renjie was obviously too lazy to pay attention to Xu Jing. He only saw Di Renjie standing up not far from the territory of Xi Kingdom and speaking to the soldiers on the side.
"The time has come, let's get started."
Xu Jing was still wondering what the right time was, when suddenly all the boats began to light up torches.
The bow and stern of each ship were lit with torches, and each ship separated and moved forward slowly in the thick fog.
Di Renjie deliberately told the soldiers driving the boat that at this moment, they needed to move forward slowly and not to rush.
Sure enough, the sentry on the opposite side became confused after seeing dozens of flames suddenly appearing on the lake, and hurriedly stumbled towards the governor's room.
"It's not good!! There is an enemy situation! There is an enemy situation!!"
The man's name is Qi Xian. He is only twenty-eight years old now and is the youngest naval commander in the history of Xi Kingdom.
According to legend, the Governor of Qi was a young, promising and calm military genius, one of the best among the talented people in the Xi Kingdom.
However, few people know about Qi Xian's promotion path.
Eight years ago, the Commander-in-Chief of Qi, who was still an ordinary naval officer at the time, successfully became a naval officer by virtue of a poem called "Giving the Princess a Sweet Wife."
Three years ago, he became the Deputy Commander of the Navy because of the weekly diary "The King's Father-in-law".
Last year, the king's father-in-law was furious and dismissed him because he smelled his bad breath while listening to the former naval commander's military report thirty meters away.
At this point, Qi Xian, who was the Deputy Commander of the Navy at the time, officially became the Chief Commander of the Navy.
Yes, Qi Xian's wife is a princess, and his father-in-law is the most powerful person in Xi Kingdom today - the leader of Xi Kingdom.
At this moment, Qi Xian quickly calmed himself down even though he had just woken up from his dream.
Looking at the sentry who was delivering the order, Qi Xian asked in a low voice.
"Have you seen how many ships are coming?"
"Reporting to the Grand Governor, there is heavy fog above the lake, making it difficult to see clearly. All we can see is countless torches!"
"Countless torches, so there are a lot of warships... It seems to be Chang Guo."
Xi State and Daxia are not the only ones bordering Tai Lake.
Xi State is located to the west of Daxia, and as Tai Lake continues to flow westward, there is another country that borders it, and that is Chang State.
The strength of Chang State is similar to that of Xi State, and the two countries have always been in a state of war, which has lasted for hundreds of years.
The strength of the two countries is balanced. Neither can do anything to the other, but they are dissatisfied with each other.
It is precisely because of this that the Xi Kingdom was unable to spare the energy to annex small countries such as Daxia.
As for the warship dispatch at this moment, Qi Xian didn't even think about it in the direction of Daxia.
After all, this small country that does not own Lake Tai cannot even produce a decent fishing boat, let alone a large number of warships.
"only……"
Seeing Qi Xian's conclusion, the sentry suddenly hesitated.
"explain."
"It's just that I see that the torches on the warships seem to be lit a little low. I can see that these are not large warships, perhaps just dozens of small ships. We can destroy them by sending two or three large ships at will!"
"Nonsense!" Before the sentry finished speaking, Qi Xian was the first to speak.
"Is war between the two countries a child's play? Do you really think that they, Chang Guo, have their brains kicked by a donkey and randomly send dozens of small warships to blow us up?"
After saying this, Qi Xian began to frown slightly. He believed that his judgment must be correct.
"The small boat is clearing the way, and there must be a giant ship following behind. At this moment, the lake is filled with heavy fog. They must bet that we can't see the ship behind us. If we move out rashly, we may fall into their trap!"
After being reprimanded like this, the sentry could only lower his head and admit his mistake.
"Give me instructions that no one should act rashly. The archers are sent out. As long as their ships don't retreat, I will shoot them. I don't believe I can't shoot them to death!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates immediately went down to deliver the order.
Qi Xian also slowly began to tidy up his clothes at this moment.
"Hmph, little Chang Guo also wants me to be fooled. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Qi Xian hummed a little tune without caring.
Jiang Hanjian of Xi Kingdom is famous all over the world.
It is different from other countries that do not pay much attention to arrows.
Every arrow produced by the Xi Kingdom is extremely powerful, and the reason is due to the country's huge financial resources.
Since the country has money, the things used by the army are also good.
The Jianghan arrows of the Xi Kingdom were made of a metal called Jianghan refined iron.
The cost of manufacturing is more than three times that of ordinary arrows, and its power is also several times that of ordinary arrows.
Armor that ordinary arrows cannot penetrate can be easily penetrated by the power of Jiang Han's arrows.
And the number of such arrows in Xi Kingdom is even more terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that Qi Xian could order arrows to be fired at the warship without worrying about the loss of life.
As the Commander-in-Chief of Xi Kingdom's Navy, it is his duty to ensure that Chang Kingdom's warships do not dare to take another step forward.
The fact was exactly as Qi Xian had guessed. Under his own rain of arrows, these "Chang Kingdom" warships never made any progress.
These warships seemed to be leaderless at the moment. Although there were still torches burning on the warships, it was already a bit dark, as if they had lost their fighting spirit.
Qi Xian thought about it, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.
He believed that Chang Guo's commander must be hesitant on the other side.
Obviously, after his plan was discovered by himself, he had no backup plan.
No matter how you look at it, you are the final winner.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qi Xian's lips raised even higher.
"Come here, let the arrows shoot more violently, and kill these things that sneak attack in the middle of the night!"
"yes!"
The soldiers below all shouted loudly, and then started another round of fierce shooting.
After a few more rounds, Qi Xian was surprised to find that the flames on the opposite warship began to gradually become distant.
Seeing this, Qi Xian burst into laughter.
"A bunch of brainless people from Chang State dare to make such a small plan in front of me?"
Qi Xian laughed loudly. There was no doubt that Xi Guo could bear less losses this time because of his wisdom.
Although countless arrows were shot, after all, he saved the ship, so it was a cost-effective deal no matter how you looked at it.
However, when Qi Xian was filled with joy and was about to leave, the sentry on the side suddenly spoke in confusion.
"Hey, why are Chang Guo's warships heading east?"
"East...east?"
Qi Xian was a little confused when he said this.
What country is to the east? It’s Daxia!
In a country that according to rumors only had eight thousand defenders, crushing them to death by yourself was like crushing ants to death.
How dare such a country come here to provoke? This is absolutely impossible! This chapter has been completed!
