Chapter 349 Qintian Prison, the Roman navy appears
Then Zhao Feng quickly came up with an idea: "I plan to build a star observatory in Xudu and set up a special department called the Qintian Supervisor to report to me the bad luck of various major events. You will be the Qintian Supervisor."
What do you think, Commander?"
When Master Zixu heard that this job suited him, he was immediately overjoyed: "Your Majesty's arrangement is of course the best. This time, the master asked me to assist your Majesty. If your Majesty can really give me this job, my expertise will be put to use!"
"
Zhao Feng nodded: "In that case, then this matter is settled. From now on, Master Zixu will be in charge of Qintian Prison!"
Master Zixu immediately felt that a large amount of national luck was tilted towards him, and that his body was always shrouded in richer luck than ordinary people, and these increased luck were extremely beneficial to his practice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Master Zixu felt that the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
He used to listen to his teacher's lectures about how wonderful the destiny of the country was, but today he finally felt it for real.
The national luck that ordinary people get has a weak effect. They can only gain longevity and cure diseases through the general trend of the national luck. But once the national luck is tilted and blessed by officials, the effect will be obvious.
Master Zixu looked south, and somehow, those fortunes made his perception more clear. He even felt that there were millions of enemies on the sea, but Sun Ce only had a hundred thousand troops available!
But at the same time, he also saw that Sun Ce was shrouded in light, and victory was clearly in sight!
In Jiaozhi and Hepu, the southernmost areas of the Wei Dynasty, Sun Ce's 100,000 troops were stationed here, and there were no less than 500 large and small ships on the river.
Some ships sailed further afield to check the situation on the river.
On this day, the soldiers on the Hepu side suddenly saw a situation ahead.
"Hey? What's that over there?"
"Is it a ship? The Romans are coming?"
"No way? So many? They cover the whole river! The Romans didn't really have that many ships, did they?
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally they all began to gasp and exclaim, and their expressions changed drastically!
"It's really a ship! God, this ship is so big and there are so many of them!"
Each of those ships seems to be taller, wider, and longer than the largest ships in the Wei Dynasty. It is estimated that each ship can hold a thousand people!
And there are actually more than a thousand ships like this!
"Thousands of ships, millions of sailors! Are the Romans so strong? Hurry, go and report to General Sun and the Governor!"
The soldiers responded hurriedly and reported the news.
Zhou Yu was sitting in Hepu. When he heard that the Romans were coming from here, he immediately sent people to transfer everyone from Sun Ce's side.
The two of them joined forces. As soon as they lined up their soldiers, they saw densely packed large ships appearing in the distance, almost filling the sea.
Sun Ce frowned: "Gong Jin, I feel bad!"
Zhou Yu laughed: "What's wrong, Bo Fu? Are you scared?"
Sun Ce immediately glanced at Zhou Yu angrily: "When did you see me afraid? I'm just worried that we have few soldiers. If these guys divide their forces and invade, the people behind us will suffer!"
Zhou Yu showed no signs of nervousness at all. Looking at the Romans, his expression became cold: "Then they must reach the shore!"
"Oh?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Gong Jin already has a clever strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "Bo Fu, take a look at mine first! Go prepare your soldiers and be ready to pursue them!"
Chase!
Zhou Yu is sure of winning!
Sun Ce was immediately overjoyed!
Zhou Yu went out to sea in a small boat and kept getting closer to the Romans on the opposite side. When he got closer, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing loudly: "God help me! All the warships are actually connected. How could the Romans do this?"
defeat?"
In fact, when the Romans set out from Alexandria, they passed through a large area of sea. The sea was rough and bumpy all the way. Although the ship was large, it could not effectively withstand the huge waves.
Therefore, before traveling, almost all the big ships are hooked together. In order to ensure that they will not be decoupled under strong waves, the hooks between these big ships are really insured with multiple layers of insurance to ensure that they can be securely connected under any circumstances.
Hang together firmly and won't fall off.
This simply gave Zhou Yu an excellent opportunity to perform!
On a large ship among the Romans, several nobles were drinking leisurely.
"Hey? What is that? Is that a ship?" One of them suddenly pointed forward, with a look of surprise on his face.
"It's really a ship! What is this man doing? Is he paying homage to our big ship?"
"The ships of the Wei Dynasty are so small. That person probably wants to come and see the invincible battleships of our Roman Empire!"
"Quick, rush forward and knock him away!"
These Romans were filled with ridicule and murderous intent, and then they saw Zhou Yu raising his hands and staring at their ships.
"Hey? Where did the smoke come from?"
"No! The deck is on fire!"
"Quickly, water quickly! Put out the fire!"
Normally, you don't have to worry about water at sea, but the deck of this ship is too high. It takes a lot of effort to lift a bucket of water!
Moreover, after adding a bucket of water, only half the bucket is left.
But the whole deck was smoking!
“The area is too big, so it’s still a bit difficult to burn it!”
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to use his talents to roast the Roman ships and burn them down.
Soon, the first batch of water was finally hoisted up by the Romans. After it was poured on the deck, the area was immediately safe.
However, this deck is not small. The water that was just poured on it was immediately evaporated after flowing down one layer.
The smoke on the ship became a little thicker, and in many places, there were even flames!
"There's a fire! Hurry, pour water on the fire!
"Send someone to the cabin to see if anyone has lit a stove below. Why is the deck even on fire?"
The commanders of all the ships were roaring angrily.
But the soldiers who went down looked and looked and found nothing burning.
"So weird!"
"Look, that man on the sea, is he behaving strangely? Is this fire caused by him?"
Everyone noticed Zhou Yu's weirdness, and the big ship continued to chase here, trying to really knock Zhou Yu away.
"Has it been discovered? It seems that we have to ask Bo Fu for help!"
Zhou Yu left in a boat, but the Romans behind him chased him with boats, making it more difficult to get water. At this time, flames could be seen on almost all the warships.
"We can't chase anymore. As soon as the boat moves, there will be a strong wind. This wind will intensify the fire! Stop quickly and get water to put out the fire!"
At this time, Sun Ce's army was ready, waiting for Zhou Yu's order to attack.
Sun Ce saw the thick smoke billowing from the sea and knew that Zhou Yu had activated his innate power!
"Gong Jin set the fire too soon. Can these Romans still survive? I'm afraid they will all be buried in the belly of the fish in the end! Millions of people? Huh, they are vulnerable!"
Zhou Yu shouted at Sun Ce all the way. When they got close, Sun Ce finally heard clearly and immediately ordered hundreds of warships to set off immediately. Sun Ce picked up Zhou Yu on his ship. Both of them looked happy.
"Bo Fu, it's basically done! We're roaming around, and if we see anyone escaping, we can just shoot them."
By the time they reached the Roman fleet, the fire was basically out of control.
