Chapter 350 [The Bandit of the East China Sea, the Enemy of the Past] Eight
Artillery fire rumbled and gunshots continued, mixed with the occasional sound of crashing waves. On the endless dark sea surface, a chilling atmosphere was faintly felt. At this time, someone didn't know who said: "It's raining!"
Mu Linfeng immediately touched the raindrops on his face that he thought were seawater, and then took out his personal weapon, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, and prepared for the final battle.
The enemy ships fled wildly, no longer following the previous rules. There were more than twenty warships, and now there were seven or eight ships left. Two more ships were hit during the flight and slowly sank. People on the deck fell into the sea.
He howled like a butchering pig, and after only shouting a few words, he was covered by the waves, and his body was instantly gone.
The warships of the Huai'an Army sailed past the wreckage of the enemy ships in an instant. A few pirates who were still clinging to the debris were immediately run over by the warships of the Huai'an Army, depriving them of their last hope of survival.
Zheng Xing kept standing next to Mu Linfeng. Based on his many years of experience in naval battles, he would have had many things to say to Mu Linfeng, but it seemed that this was no longer necessary. The battle situation had been decided and the pirates were gone.
Everyone originally thought so, but at this moment, the enemy ships that were fleeing in front suddenly stopped. Mu Linfeng couldn't guess what Long Qingfeng was thinking or what his intentions were.
Hong Chengchou quickly said to Mu Linfeng: "Mu Shuai, I'm afraid this is a trap..."
Zheng Xing on the side just looked on coldly, without making any remarks, stroking his beard and thinking deeply.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Mu Linfeng suddenly felt that there was a hidden danger, but he couldn't think of what it was. Could it be that this place had been trapped by Long Qingfeng and Long Qingyun brothers' subordinates?
Tokugawa Jiahui's hand has been tightly held with Mu Linfeng's hand. Tokugawa Jiehui has felt that Mu Linfeng's hand is extremely cold. From time to time, he turns his head to look at Mu Linfeng, only to see that his eyes are a little dull, as if he is deep in thought.
.
But at this moment, a musketeer soldier shouted: "No, our gunpowder is wet..."
Mu Linfeng trembled when he heard this, and couldn't help but pat his head and shouted: "By the way, why didn't I think of that!"
Today's muskets are completely fired by gunpowder. The most feared thing is water. Once the gunpowder is wet, it will be useless no matter how far the range is.
Zheng Xing, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said: "Mu Shuai, there are only two situations like this. Either there is an ambush nearby and the enemy ship deliberately lured us here. Secondly, the enemy ship knew that after the rain, Gui
The army's muskets have lost their function, so prepare to fight from the left and rear again!"
Mu Linfeng heard what Zheng Xing said was reasonable, but Mu Linfeng himself was a bit more credulous of the latter. If there was an ambush, it might not be possible. After all, Long Qingfeng probably wouldn't have expected that his own army would send out warships to meet the enemy, and would pursue him.
So far away, secondly, even so, he probably didn't expect that he would lose so miserably. I believe it was because his own army was dampened by the wind. Long Qingfeng had used his own firearms before, and he should know this better than anyone else.
Obviously, according to Long Qingfeng's temperament, he should want to fight with himself.
After all, this battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mu Linfeng and Long Qingfeng. It is difficult to have another chance. They both want to take advantage of this battle to conquer each other in one fell swoop. What's more, although the current situation of the battle is not good for Long Qingfeng, but
The rain fell just in time, and the Huai'an Army relied on firearms in close combat. At this moment, the momentum of the Huai'an Army had been extinguished by the heavy rain. It is really difficult to explain who is stronger and which is weaker.
Moreover, the pirates under Long Qingfeng are usually desperadoes who live with their heads in their belts, so this kind of naked hand-to-hand combat feels like a common occurrence, and the biggest advantage is not here, but this gang.
The thieves, who usually bump around on the ship, have long been accustomed to this kind of wandering life, but the Huai'an Army's navy has neglected training on weekdays. If it were on land, Long Qingfeng would really not dare to take pictures.
He boasted that his subordinates were superior, but now in this deep sea, I am afraid that anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference.
Mu Linfeng naturally noticed that there were already many sailors who were not used to it and were seasick. Those who were not seasick were just relying on their good physical condition. It did not mean that they were used to naval battles, not to mention that these sailors were probably
You can only swim in the river and take a dip. When you get to the sea, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
This is what Mu Linfeng is most worried about. After all, our own army had more advanced firearms than the pirates before, but now if an enemy ship comes, they can only fight naked. These soldiers who usually eat and shake their arms
Not only was Mu Linfeng unsure whether we could fight, but Hong Chengchou was also unsure.
At this moment, Zheng Xing whispered to Mu Linfeng: "Mu Shuai, if you want to help, I still have... and No. 100 experts on my merchant ship... 1⑹k novel. 1⑹κ.n text version first published"
Mu Linfeng looked at Zheng Xing after hearing this. He naturally knew that Zheng Xing was such a large caravan and was doing business on the sea all year round. Naturally, there would be some practitioners on the ship to escort him. I am afraid that Zheng Xing would be discounted by this expert No. 100.
Yes, Mu Linfeng has just seen that Zheng Xing has at least twenty merchant ships. What can the expert No. 10 do? Even if they are one against ten, there are countless extraordinary things in this vast ocean. I'm afraid
It’s also missing.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while, and what Zheng Xing said was reasonable. If we really want to rely on these pustified sailors, we are afraid that our own army will lose more than we win, or even have no chance of winning. It would be great if Zheng Xing could help.
No, but Mu Linfeng always felt that Zheng Xing would not help him so cheaply, even if he really helped him without any purpose. Firstly, it made Zheng Xing feel that he was incompetent, and secondly, he owed him money for no reason.
If you owe Zheng Xing a favor and owe Zheng Xing a favor, wouldn't it mean that you owe Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and the Zheng family a favor?
Mu Linfeng made up his mind that he couldn't let Zheng Xing come to help him as a last resort, but without his help, what chance did he have of winning? Could it be that he really had a surprise attack?
Mu Linfeng was hesitating when he heard Tokugawa Ie shout from the side: "Husband, the enemy ship has begun to return and is approaching us!"
Mu Linfeng couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and quickly looked away, only to see several enemy warships rushing towards his own warships at full speed. At this time, Zheng Xing said in Mu Linfeng's ear: "As long as Mu Linfeng
With a few words from Shuai, Zheng can immediately dispatch his subordinates to help!"
Mu Linfeng waved his hand and said: "Master Zheng is too polite. They are just pirates and don't need your warriors, Master Zheng...Besides..." Mu Linfeng said this and said in a deep voice: "This is also the case between me and the dragon.
The personal grievances between brothers Qingfeng and Long Qingyun... Let Mu personally resolve it today..."
Zheng Xing saw that Mu Linfeng spoke firmly and his eyes were suddenly full of confidence. Zheng Xing did not understand that the Huai'an Army was obviously at a disadvantage after losing the advantage of firearms. The look in Mu Linfeng's eyes at this moment and this kind of confidence were
Where did it come from?
Zheng Xing couldn't figure it out, and while he was hesitating, he heard someone say: "Is Mu Shuai planning to lure the enemy deeper?"
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but look back. The person who spoke was Chen Hui's nephew. Chen Weiwen, who had just followed the Zheng Xing merchant ship and was forcibly escorted out of the cabin by Mu Linfeng, heard the words and Hong Chengchou muttered: "Lure the enemy to go deeper? Where to go?"
"
When Zheng Xing heard this, he also had the same idea as Hong Chengchou. This vast sea could deceive enemy ships to where? Could it be that Mu Linfeng had already sent suspicious soldiers to ambush?
Zheng Xing was not the only one who didn't understand. After all, he joined later and was not involved in the previous deployment. Even Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the Huai'an Army, seemed puzzled. It was said that he and Mu Linfeng deployed the troops.
, and every dispatch order from Mu Linfeng was issued under his nose. I really never heard of any subordinates ambushing them.
Tokugawa Jie also looked at Mu Linfeng curiously. During this battle, Tokugawa Jiehui had already gotten to know her newlywed husband Mu Linfeng again. He was usually playful and smiling, even a little bohemian, but why did he look like this on the battlefield?
, his temperament and words were completely like a different person, even a little mysterious. Tokugawa Ie could not help but secretly thought, no wonder people from the Central Plains mentioned Mu Linfeng in admiration and admiration.
Tokugawa Ie also knew clearly from these details of Mu Linfeng's performance that Mu Linfeng's rise was absolutely accidental, and it was definitely not because he had superior weapons of mass destruction in his hands. The reason for everything lies in Mu Linfeng's
Personal charm, and personal intelligence.
Mu Linfeng, who had been silent on the side and never took his eyes off the enemy ship, but never issued any orders, suddenly said to Chen Weiwen: "How did Mr. Chen know about Mu's plan?"
