At night, Mu Lu selected dozens of people with good water skills and began to teach them the key points of destroying ships underwater.
Zhao Wuyou arranged that he didn't have enough money, so he asked them to work overnight to make the tools that Mu Lu had just drawn, so that they could move more easily.
The next day, the pier was still crowded with people, and those people still stood by the boat and refused to leave, thinking they could take advantage of the chaos to make some Caogang money.
It was not until night that Mulu and others were finally ready, and under Mulu's personal leadership, they arrived near the dock.
With the help of others, they all started to pedal the boat, and with help from others, they got into the water, bypassed the Caobang spies, and came directly to the bottom of the boat.
These people are all very good at water, and each of them can dive underwater for a quarter of an hour.
Three people worked in groups, taking turns to start drilling through this behemoth.
This big operation didn't go well at the beginning.
The leader of the Cao Gang is also a veteran. He naturally knows that underwater is a place that cannot be seen, so he specially uses strong wood to resist it, and uses countless pigskin glue to stick the wood together.
Everyone under the water was not used to it at first, and the water was very cold at night, so they couldn't exert their full strength, so the progress was very slow.
They also have to prevent people on the ship from discovering them.
Every time you take a breath, you have to go somewhere else to breathe in and out.
The time spent breathing back and forth has already wasted more than half of the time.
However, the tools that Zhao Wuyou ordered to build were good. Fortunately, Mu Lu personally brought the people there, and he quickly found a place where the road was stuck.
He used a sharp blade to open a gap, and then ordered his men to continue digging along the gap.
It was getting dark, but these people had dozens of luminous pearls in their hands and could still see the seams in the boats clearly.
Gradually, these people gained experience and finally dug dozens of small holes.
Soon, these small holes were dug larger and connected into one piece, and there was another thick layer of patch on the next layer.
This ship is so big, no wonder the leader of the Cao Gang claimed that this ship could never sink. It turned out that he actually used armor-making methods to build this big ship.
When everyone saw the thick iron sheet, they were a little sad and frustrated. But Mu Lu was not willing to give up. He directly took out the small thing that Zhao Wuyou gave him.
Then fit it to the bottom of the boat.
This is a big firecracker built by Zhao Wuyou. Although it is not too powerful, it can still be used in times of danger.
He pulled the lead and hid far away with the people, silently waiting for the miracle to happen.
Half a minute later, a muffled sound was heard on the water.
Fortunately, it was late at night and the power of this thing was not too great, so it did not attract any attention.
Mulu led the people and walked forward to the place where the firecrackers had just been set off. Finally, he saw that the thick iron sheet was shaking.
Everyone was overjoyed, and then used a big firecracker, which was still placed in its original position.
Not long after, the big firecracker went off again, and the water waves made a slight impact. Everyone quickly gathered around to take a look again.
This time it worked, and this time I actually opened the wooden board on the next floor.
Fortunately, the gang leader did not install iron plates on the next floor, otherwise, Mulu and others would have returned in vain.
The crowd continued to dig deeper along the torn hole, hoping to penetrate the ship as quickly as possible.
This activity continued until the next morning, when the men finally drilled a small hole in the boat.
Seeing the small water flowing into the bottom of the boat, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to work hard. By noon, everyone had dug three holes, each of which was as big as a palm.
Mu Lu, who originally wanted to try harder, turned around and looked at his subordinates who couldn't stand it anymore, so he decisively gave the order to leave.
After all, human life is at stake, and he can't joke with the lives of his men.
After exhausting their energy, everyone finally rushed to the shore. Under the care of the rescuers, they got on the carriage and left the scene, leaving all the unnecessary things in the water.
In the afternoon, people finally arrived in the cabin and something was wrong. The big ship was swaying, as if it had lost its balance.
"Gang leader, something serious has happened. Our cabin may have been flooded, and the entire hull has tilted."
As soon as the gang leader, who was drinking to drown his sorrows, heard that his boat was flooded, he first denied it and directly said with a big tongue:
"No way, this boat can't get flooded. I even installed countless iron sheets on the bottom of the boat. How could it leak? It's impossible."
"But this boat has indeed tilted, Gang Leader, if you don't believe it, come and take a look."
Seeing his subordinates saying this, the gang leader was also a little suspicious. He frowned and walked onto the bow of the ship, cursing.
Standing on the bow of the ship, his heart went cold. All of this was actually the same as what his men reported. Did his giant ship really sink?
He roared angrily and shouted:
"What's going on? Go to the bottom of the water immediately and see what's going on. How could my boat be flooded? Go and see it right away."
Under the roar of the gang leader, dozens of young men jumped into the water and began to look for the leak.
At this time, the military advisor also heard the report from his subordinates and quickly walked into the cabin. He happened to hear the gang leader's roar.
Seeing the facts before his eyes, it was useless to do anything else. The military advisor walked forward, looked at the gang leader seriously, and said angrily:
"Gang leader, make plans early. There are too many things in this cabin. We must transport it to the dock or to other ships.
Otherwise, I am afraid that all these rare treasures and silver will be buried under the water together with this big ship."
The grief-stricken gang leader finally came to his senses under the advice of his military advisor, and began to arrange for his men to transport some of the things to his other ships, and to transport other things to the nearest dock.
The gang leader also got on another boat. He looked helplessly at the severely tilted boat in front of him, feeling so sad that he had tears in his eyes.
Those who had fallen into the water also came back. Each one of them looked sad and reported what they saw to the gang leader.
The gang leader, who was an old sailor, naturally knew that this matter must have been done deliberately, otherwise, there would not have been three water holes in the bottom of the boat.
He sat down weakly and waved his hand to let people leave. The military advisor on the side was a little helpless. Then, he looked at the surrounding ships angrily and said angrily:
"It's all these people's fault. They must be one of them. They covet the wealth of the Cao Gang. That's why they are so mean and actually cut through us to get to the ship."
Similarly, the gang leader also found an outlet. He stood up, walked to the bow of the ship, looked at those who coveted his treasure, and shouted in disgust and anger:
"If I knew who did this, I would make him pay a heavy price."
Unfortunately, no matter how loud he roared, the ship still sank.
