Wentang

Chapter 309 anticlimactic
One warship, two fighting ships, and two walking ships, these are all the main battleships owned by the Bohai Sea Division, and there are also four yachts.

This yacht is not the yacht of the later generations, but a vessel dedicated to reconnaissance. It is small in size, fast in speed, and highly maneuverable.

The nine ships sailed silently on the sea surface. After about an hour and a half, Master Sun Ren ordered all the warships to stop advancing.

"Why did you stop?" Sun Fucai asked.

Everyone knew the relationship between him and Yue Shan. Naturally, Sun Renshi couldn't really treat him like an ordinary soldier, but stayed by his side as a personal guard.

I don't ask him to do much, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for everyone. To put it bluntly, he doesn't trust him.

Sun Fucai was well aware of this, but he was not angry. He knew that this was a normal situation.Since you really want to join the other party, then try your best to perform and gain everyone's trust with practical actions.

"The surface of the water stretches as far as the eye can see and there is no shelter. Now that the moon is so bright, if you get too close, you will be easily spotted by the sentinels of the other side." Sun Renshi explained.

Although he doesn't trust him, since he was sent by Yue Shan, he will teach him carefully.Besides, he just didn't trust Sun Fucai's combat ability, and he didn't deny the opponent as a whole.

"Then what should we do now?" Sun Fucai humbly asked for advice.

"Send the yacht over to investigate the situation. It is best to pull out the sentinel on the opposite side. The target of the yacht is small and fast, and it is difficult to find without looking carefully." Sun Renshi said patiently.

"So that's it, I've been taught." Sun Fucai saluted respectfully.

Following Sun Renshi's order, the two yachts left the fleet and quickly disappeared on the water, followed by a long wait.

The entire fleet stopped at the same place, no one spoke, and there was no candle, all that could be heard was the sound of water flowing.The boat swayed with the waves, and the whole person was like duckweed in the water, and the floating people felt empty.

It’s okay for a short period of time, but it becomes a torment over a long period of time. This kind of silent waiting can torture people to death.

Master Sun Ren has been observing Sun Fucai to see how long he can last.Then he found that there was no wave on the other party's face from the beginning to the end, and this kind of endurance made him nod secretly.

The navy is lonely, especially when fighting at sea. Skills, discipline, and abilities are all secondary. The most important thing is to be able to endure loneliness.

A person who cannot stand loneliness, no matter how capable he is, cannot become an excellent sailor.Not to mention anything else, Sun Fucai's patience alone is a good face for a sailor.

It's a pity that he didn't know Sun Fucai's background, if he knew, it might be a different idea - compared to the place where people cannibalize like the imperial palace, what is the torment of the navy master?
About an hour later, a black shadow came to the front of the fleet like an arrow, and everyone was shocked—the sentinel finally returned.

Sure enough, after the password was correct, it was indeed his own sentry.

The subsequent development made Sun Fucai a little disappointed. The fierce battle he imagined did not happen.The two speedboats successfully touched the island and quietly solved the sentinel.

The rest of the bandits lay unconscious in the simple stockade, and were taken away by the large army that came later.

"Disappointed?" Looking at Sun Fucai who was a little dazed and unsure, Sun Renshi asked.

"This... I thought there would be a battle, but I didn't think..." Sun Fucai said with some embarrassment.

"What are you thinking? They are just a bunch of mobs. Are we battle-tested court navy divisions? We should fight more and fight less. It's normal to solve the battle simply like this." Master Sun Ren said with a smile.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "This is water warfare. According to my conclusion, there are generally two situations in water warfare. The first type is the current one, a surprise attack, using the advantage of intelligence to hit the opponent by surprise. Almost powerless."

"Let's not say it's just a group of river pirates, even an elite soldier who has been through the battlefield for a long time, is like a bear when someone drops his whistle and touches him quietly. Therefore, if you want to survive, you must be vigilant and not relax for a moment. "

"What about the second one?" Sun Fucai asked impatiently.

"The second is that everyone pulls out the boats and fights face to face. Hundreds of thousands of warships fight and fight on the water..."

Speaking of this, Master Sun raised his head and looked at the sky, his thoughts had already drifted to the distance. The scene of the battle to destroy Xiao Xian a few years ago kept reappearing in his mind...

For a navy officer and soldier, he would have no regrets if he could participate in such a war in his life.Master Sun Ren thought.

Maybe... at least that's what he thought before coming to the sea.

Afterwards, Sun Renshi sent people to Daying to report the results of the battle to Yueshan, and the rest of them rested on this small island for one night as originally planned, and started the second phase of the operation early tomorrow morning.

It was already dawn when Yue Shan received the news. He was not surprised at all that the navy was victorious. What was more surprising was that there were zero casualties.

This also made him understand that he really didn't know anything about water warfare.In the future, we will still provide logistical support, provide ideas from later generations, and specifically how to train and fight, it is better not to intervene.

It is taboo for laymen to direct experts.

Now that he has woken up, Yue Shan has no intention of continuing to sleep. He gets up and washes up before making final preparations for today's plan.It is mainly to check for leaks and fill in vacancies.

The two hundred Baiqisi also got up, and rarely did their morning exercises. They cleaned themselves up, sharpened their swords, and fed their horses with concentrated feed.

After a busy day, the dawn passed, and the east gradually turned red.Yue Shan also led his troops towards Yanci County.In order to maintain their strength, they did not choose to walk fast, but jogged at a constant speed.

The distance between the two places is about a hundred miles, and it will take about three or four hours to get there at the current speed.Calculate the time, just in time for lunch.

At this time, the county town of Yanci also began to get busy. The yamen servants were dispatched early in the morning. All businesses had to open for business. The people put on their best clothes to go shopping, and no beggars were allowed to appear...

After some operations, a prosperous county was born.

The county government, which had always been deserted, also became lively. All the officials, gentry, and heads of well-known wealthy families gathered here.

"Where is County Magistrate Tian, ​​why hasn't he come yet?" At this time, the county magistrate Wang Jingliang asked with a frown.

"I went to call just now, and he said that the clear water won't arrive until noon, so there's no rush." ​​The servant said in embarrassment.

"Didn't you tell him that all your colleagues are already here?" Wang Jingliang said displeased.

"I said it, but he said..." The servant stopped suddenly when he said this, and looked at him tremblingly.

"Hmph, I don't know how to praise things." Wang Jingliang cursed angrily, and he knew it was definitely not a good thing to say without asking him.

"It's just a puppet. What's Wang County Prime Minister doing with him? We're more comfortable without him," said a gentry.

"That's right, he really thinks he's great when you show him face." A big household said.

"Cheng Wang, the future of Yanci County depends on you, so don't be disturbed by him."

"Yes, yes, ignore him."

"I don't want to talk to him either, but he knows Qing Shuihou after all, so it doesn't make him look good." Wang Jingliang said disdainfully.

"Xiancheng, do you think there will be fraud in this matter? That Qingshui Hou killed Lu Renjia when he disagreed with each other. How could he be so easy to talk this time? We said we wanted to entertain him, and he came." At this time, a 50 The old man of many years said doubtfully.

Hearing this, the crowd instantly fell silent.
