The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 265
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, tearing the dense canopy and roaring, the sky is getting darker and darker, it seems to be able to drip ink, the humid air sticks to the body, wet, making people very uncomfortable, although the rain is still there It didn't fall, but the rain that filled Feng had already made people feel the signs of heavy rain.

The silk drape was attached to Fan Man's solid chest, revealing a strong physique that didn't match his age, but the strong chest was rising and falling too fast, making Fan Man's eyes turn black.He raised one hand to cover his heart that was beating like a drum, and opened his mouth wide, like a dying fish, desperately breathing in the humid air.

"My lord!" Fan Ru, the general of the guards, noticed Fan Man's abnormality, and hurried over, just in time to support Fan Man's rickety body, hugged him in his arms, and looked at Fan Man nervously: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ?”

"I'm fine." Fan Man closed her eyes tiredly and took a few breaths.Fan Ru took a kettle and carefully poured the liqueur in it into Fan Man's mouth.Fan Man drank a few sips, her breath became calmer, she struggled to sit up, and tried to look at the harbor in the distance, but she could only see a hazy piece.

He was taken aback: "Fan Ru, have you seen the Yue State Navy?"

"I see." Fan Ru cast a glance and said casually, "They are entering the port."

"How many ships are there?"

"There are about a hundred ships, large and small." Fan Ru saw that Fan Man was fully focused on the ships of the Yue State Navy, took another look at them carefully, and reported in detail: "Their movements are very skillful, and more than a dozen small ships Walking ahead, someone is still holding a long pole in his hand, as if measuring the water depth, and the big ship is behind, although the wind is strong and the waves are high, they are not at all chaotic..."

Fan Man sat on a big rock with his hands resting on his thighs. He lowered his huge head and listened attentively to Fan Ru's explanation. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the Yue State Navy who was entering the port in an orderly manner in the distance. He sighed, "We all underestimated the strength of Yue's navy."

Fan Ru didn't say a word, he could hear the meaning of Fan Man's words.Judging from the speed at which the Yue Navy enters the port and their cooperation, as well as the fact that the warships of the Yue Kingdom can still maintain stability in such storms, the strength of the Yue Kingdom Navy is more than one degree higher than that of the Funan Navy. It turns out that Fan Jinsheng was not wronged at all when he was defeated by the Yue State Navy.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting higher and higher, but the navy of the Yue Kingdom is not chaotic at all. Small boats, cargo ships, and medium-sized warships enter the port one by one, but Sun Shao's big ship has been outside until all the warships After all the ships entered the port, they slowly approached the port.During this period of time, the leading ships had already found the most suitable waterway for the big ship to enter the port, and under the guidance of several medium-sized warships, the big ship sailed steadily towards the port.

Fan Ru was full of admiration, and just about to speak, suddenly saw the largest ship entering the port shake, then stopped at the same place, and the people on several warships surrounded him.

Fan Ru burst into ecstasy: "My lord, the biggest ship has run aground!"

"Really?" Fan Man stood up excitedly and looked far away.At this moment, there was a thunderbolt in the sky, and the torrential rain poured down. The dense rain curtain immediately blocked the already blurred vision, and the eyes were so vast that they could not see anything.Fan Man looked at it in vain for a while, then sighed dejectedly: "Unfortunately, we don't have any warships, so we can only watch him sink into the sea. Otherwise, capturing him alive would not be a blow to the morale of the Vietnamese army." That's what makes it big."

Fan Ru draped a coir raincoat over Fan Man's shoulders, and comforted him with a smile: "My lord, it's very windy and rainy here, and he hit a reef again. Even if the Yue people want to rescue him, it's not easy. the big fish of the sea."

"It's not that easy." Fan Man shook his shoulders, and his expression became much more relaxed: "The navy of the Yue Kingdom is well-trained, how could they not be able to cope with such a situation? It’s not a problem to be rescued.”

"That's useless." Fan Ru said with a smile: "When our stone ship sinks towards the port, can they still go out? Even if they go out with some small boats, I'm afraid it will be of no use."

"There's no boat." Fan Man sighed again, and waved his hand: "Order the stone boats to set off immediately while the wind and waves are strong, and sink into the middle of the waterway. The more people will get stronger, and when they find out, those stone boats will be nothing. Opportunity, if we let them run out, all our plans will come to naught.”

"Yes." Fan Ru replied, and immediately went down to make arrangements.Fan Man sat under a big tree, and several soldiers formed a circle, raising a tent to shelter him from the wind and rain.Fan Man paced back and forth under the tent, refusing to rest for a moment, until someone came to report that the stone boat had sunk into the designated waterway, and Fan Man breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, her face turned pale by the rain. There was a satisfied smile on his face.

"It's a pity that there is no boat." Fan Man looked in the direction of the harbor and sighed again.If he still has warships now, he will wait for the wind and waves to stop and kill these Vietnamese troops with all his strength, capture Yue King Sun Shao alive, completely solve the threat of Yue State, and then attack Jin Chen, All the way to the south to recover the lost land, and bring those vassal states back under the rule of Funan.But now, he could only sit in the mountains and forests on the shore with an army of [-], watching the Yue Kingdom Navy stationed in the harbor and waiting for the wind and waves to pass.

"Let the soldiers rest for a while, and when the rain stops, we will move on to the next step." Fan Man gave the order, then dried her body, lay down on the couch, and closed her eyes.The sound of wind and rain was far away from him in a moment. In the midst of the storm, Fan Man slept peacefully for the first time in months.

The wind blows all night, and the rain falls all night.When Fan Man woke up, everything in the harbor after the rain was fresh. The rocks were washed by the rain, and the dust was washed away, revealing a moist black color. It feels refreshed, and even the annoying mosquitoes are gone.

Fan Man shook her feet, knocking off a leech that was twisting and working up the boot shaft, and raised her head to look at the sea in the distance.

"How about the Yue State Navy?"

"Back to your lord, the navy of the Yue Kingdom entered the port in time, and the loss is very limited." Fan Ru, who was watching in front of him, responded, and he turned his head to look at the refreshed Fan Man, with a happy smile on his mouth: "However, King Yue His boat is gone."

"The disappearance of the boat does not mean that the person is dead." Unmoved, Fan Man walked to Fan Ru's side, looked at the peaceful Meng'ang Bay, and especially checked the waterway into the port.Although he couldn't see the sunken ships clearly, Fan Man could feel that the dozen or so stone-filled boats he carefully prepared were quietly parked under the water, blocking the way for Yue's navy to leave the port.

Would the navy of the Yue Kingdom who survived the catastrophe think of this trick?The corner of Fan Man's mouth slightly raised: "Are you ready?"

"Back to the king, we have already made preparations. As long as they dare to go ashore and pursue them, they will never come back." Fan Ru said confidently.

"Okay." Fan Man praised, then shook his head regretfully: "It would be great if we had a boat, we can wipe them out in this harbor, and we don't have to passively lure them ashore. Mona, you lead people to fight for a while, Let them know we're here."

"Yes." A dark and strong man answered, turned around and left with a dozen bodyguards.He is a king who surrendered to Funan. This time, he was ordered by Fan Man to bring his clansmen to help out.He has already heard about the Navy of the Yue Kingdom, and knows that the Navy of the Yue Kingdom is very powerful, but he has confidence in Fan Man. Fan Man has been fighting for more than 30 years, and his experience is not comparable to that of a young boy like the King of Yue. ?Now that he saw with his own eyes that the Yue State Navy was trapped in Meng'ang Port by Fan Man's tricks, he was even more convinced that his choice was correct.

Mona led his people out of the woods, rushed to the beach, yelled, and shot a few arrows at the Yue Navy. Although he couldn't attack the Yue Navy, the momentum was very strong. As soon as he saw several warships from the Yue Kingdom rushing towards him, he rushed away and disappeared into the jungle.

Fan Man immediately set off with the army, and set off again to march towards Jin Chen.After walking for twenty miles, he arrived at the ambush site, a narrow and long valley that was not very tall. In the jungle on both sides, he ambushed 3 people. Feng, the soldiers on both sides shot their arrows in unison, and the battle could be resolved within a meal.

……

"My lord, let's go ashore and pursue it." Wei Ping said anxiously: "The port has been blocked, and it will take ten and a half months to clear it out. With so much time, Fan Man would have rushed We have arrived in Jinchen Kingdom."

Sun Shao's face was gloomy, his eyes swept over the faces of the generals.As soon as the day dawned, he knew the news that the port had been sealed by a sunken ship, so it was not an accident when he entered the port yesterday, but a trap.Because his ship withdrew from the harbor in time, he took the risk of docking in the open sea, and escaped disaster by relying on advanced wind and wave performance. However, in this way, only his ship and some small boats can continue to sail. None of the medium-sized warships of the ship can leave the port smoothly, and those large supply ships are even less likely to leave the port.

Under such circumstances, Yue Hai and others suggested going ashore to pursue them. According to the information obtained, Fan Man only had 1 people. Several battles have proved that they are absolutely sure to defeat Fan Man if they catch up. If they can kill Fan Man or even capture Fan Man alive, then Funan Kingdom will be taken.

However, Sun Shao was alarmed by the ambush. There was a shipwreck and an ambush, which showed that Fan Man had carefully prepared it. If so, why couldn't he have other preparations?He knew that without a navy, even if the sunken ship blocked the waterway out of the port, it would only delay some time, and it would not give him a fatal blow. Why would he do this?Just to buy some time for him to rescue Jin Chen?

"What if he is prepared in the jungle?" Sun Shao said coldly: "Which one of you has fought in the jungle?"

Yue Hai and the others stopped talking.The Yue Navy has trained in jungle warfare, but there is none here. He Da is an expert in jungle warfare, but he is in Changshan. Cui Qianbu and Chen Haibu, who have received jungle warfare practice, are in Jinchen. One is in Qiantang, but there is none here.They don't even know the dangers of jungle warfare, otherwise they wouldn't choose to pursue them by sea.

"Then wait here?" Zhou Yin asked unwillingly.

"That won't work." Sun Shao rubbed his nose, "We can't be called out like that, but we don't respond at all. Zhou Yin, you can go ashore with the destroying front battalion to chase after it, but you can only make fun of it, and you can't exceed it." five miles."

"Wuli?" Zhou Yin called out.You're still chasing after five miles, you have to stop as soon as your legs and feet run away.

"If you dare to go one step further, you don't want to come back." Sun Shao gave Zhou Yin a sideways look: "If you don't want to go, I can substitute someone else."

"Don't." Zhou Yin shouted quickly: "I'll go, I'll go. Don't worry, my lord, I will stop after only four and a half miles."

Everyone was amused by Zhou Yin's appearance.They all knew that Zhou Yin didn't want to be Changle Weiwei, he just wanted to fight and make meritorious service, but up to now, the destroying front battalion hadn't done any meritorious service. Although this time he went ashore to chase, although it was just a bluff, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity.They all knew that Zhou Yin obeyed Sun Shaoyan, and since he promised Sun Shao not to exceed five miles, he would never make his own claim.

"All the troops set up an ambush ashore. If Fan Man comes to pursue him, we will beat him with a sap." Sun Shao sighed, waved his hand, and motioned the generals to prepare.To be honest, he didn't expect Fan Man to fall into the trick at all. It was just a matter of preparation. If he didn't go ashore to fight a battle, the generals would have no place to vent their grievances.

Soon, Zhou Yin took the Fengfeng camp ashore, and soon found the traces of Fan Man and others stationed in the camp, and chased along these traces.In order to prevent Zhou Yin from being disobedient, Sun Shao specially sent Qin Sai and Feng Ming to assist him.Qin Sai is very familiar with the jungle environment, and is also very good at tracking, but the five miles is too short. They just ran for five miles, but they didn't even look at a Funan soldier.

Zhou Yin was very frustrated, and he slashed a knife on the nearby tree bitterly.

"Captain, shall we go back?" Feng Ming walked over and asked expressionlessly.

"Wait." Zhou Yin shook his head: "Take a few people to search nearby to see where the Funan people have gone. Be careful, don't be discovered by the Funan people."

"Captain, is this appropriate?" Qin Saihan asked with a straight face, "Your Majesty ordered us not to exceed five miles."

"What's inappropriate?" Zhou Yin took a look at Qin Sai, and suddenly became interested. He straightened his clothes and said in a serious tone: "Qin Tongyi, I want to correct a mistake. Your Majesty ordered that the Fengying camp not It can be chased for five miles, but there is no saying that it is not allowed to send scouts to investigate the Funan people. Do you think so?"

Qin Sai was momentarily at a loss for words.

"There are war elephants in the Funan people's army, so they won't move too fast. If you are fast enough, you will be able to find their traces in half a day at most." Zhou Yin walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and stopped at Qin Saiqian: "It's not that your majesty doesn't want to go ashore to chase after us, but he's worried about the unfamiliar terrain. It will take at least a few days for us to leave this harbor. Within a few days, can you guarantee that the Funan people will not attack us? They won't be like you Hunt us like the men who hunted Fan Zhan?"

Qin Sai suddenly realized, and when he looked at Zhou Yin again, his eyes softened a lot.Although the son of the governor of Jiangdong looks a little stupid, he is not stupid. He thinks of far more things than his appearance looks like.

"Your task is to find out if there is an army of Funan people within fifty miles." Zhou Yin said no more, pointing at Qin Sai and Feng Ming: "Pay attention to safety, and report immediately if there is any situation. The way, you know."

"Here." Qin Sai and Feng Ming responded, and followed the trail with a dozen scouts who had been transferred from the pirates.Zhou Yin ordered the soldiers of the Fengfeng camp to rest where they were, and put down a cordon.The soldiers of the Destruction Fengying had received training from He Da, and had practiced in the mountains of Yizhou for several months. They were no strangers to jungle warfare. When Zhou Yin gave an order, they moved in an orderly manner and were ready for battle.

Holding the knife, Zhou Yin paced back and forth at the place where Fan Man camped yesterday. He carefully identified the traces on the ground, and showed a smile from time to time, either admiring, or disdainful, and occasionally surprised.

Two hours later, Qin Sai and Feng Ming came back. Seeing their expressions, Zhou Yin smiled triumphantly: "Is there an ambush?"

"Although we didn't see the ambushes, we were robbed by scouts from the other party, and we couldn't move forward. Generally speaking, this indicates that there is a problem ahead. We have stayed at the two Wu brothers to monitor. Once there is news, they... ..."

Before Qin Sai finished speaking, she suddenly saw Zhou Yin and Feng Ming raising their heads and staring behind her. She turned her head and saw a red flower bursting in the blue sky, which was the enemy attacking signal of.Qin Sai's complexion changed, and when he turned around to speak, Zhou Yin jumped up excitedly, and pushed Qin Sai's shoulder: "You go back immediately and inform the king, and say that I am here to intercept the enemy, and ask him to respond Prepare, if the enemy's offensive is too strong, I will lead the enemy to the bay."

Qin Sai was about to say more, but Zhou Yin had already slumped, and shouted in a deep voice: "Execute the order!" Qin Sai was taken aback, Zhou Yin was always smiling when he saw everyone, and sometimes he made some harmless jokes, It was the first time she saw such a stern speech. In astonishment, Qin Sai ran to the beach. After walking a dozen steps, she remembered that although Zhou Yin was the captain of the Destroyer Camp, he was the first It was the first time he went into battle, but his calm demeanor made her feel that he was a battle-tested general.

As expected, the disciples of the generals are a bit skilled.Qin Sai thought while running towards the beach.Back at the bay, she rushed to Yue Hai's warship, but Sun Shao's ship could not enter the port, so she temporarily borrowed Yue Hai's ship to take command.Sun Shao and others were analyzing the terrain on the newly drawn sketch of Meng'ang Port. When they saw Qin Sai walking in out of breath, they exchanged glances at the same time.

"Sit down, drink some water first, catch your breath before talking." Sun Shao waved his hand, and Ao Lei who was next to him quickly brought over a glass of light wine. Fresh water is not easy to store, and light wine has been used instead of drinking water on board.Seeing that Sun Shao and the others were very calm, Qin Sai couldn't help but admire them. After all, they are people who have seen the world, and they will not lose their positions at any time.

After listening to Qin Sai's report, Sun Shao laughed and shook his head.Yue Hai was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and after a while, he smiled and said, "This Zhou Boying is so courageous, he dares to command even the king if he doesn't come back to ask for instructions on such a big matter."

Wei Ping touched his chin, and said repeatedly: "However, his method is good. If the other party is just trying to test it, we don't need to be too serious, so as not to expose our strength. If the other party really can't help it If he wants to attack us, we might as well teach him a lesson. It’s just that the brothers in the Destroying Front Camp are all ambitious, and it’s not easy for them to feign defeat.”

Qin Sai was a little nervous. Only then did she realize that what Zhou Yin did seemed to be suspected of exceeding his authority. Yue Hai was right, he even commanded the king.She stared at Sun Shao's face and held her breath involuntarily.

Sun Shao supported the table with both hands, his eyes swept back and forth on the map, and his fingers tapped lightly on the chopping board in an unhurried rhythm, showing no expression.After a while, just when Qin Sai couldn't hold back anymore, Sun Shao suddenly raised his eyes: "We have all heard what Captain Zhou said once, Zhao Xiu, Wei Ping, take your troops to ashore and lie in ambush immediately. Don't be too far away, if the enemy comes, don't attack for now, wait for us to use the crossbow arrows on the battleship to greet them for a while, and then come out to fight the dogs in the water. Cross the sea, you immediately mobilize all the battleships and prepare for long-range support. Qin Sai, Inform Colonel Zhou and tell him not to be too aggressive, if the destruction of Fengfengying is too large, I want him to look good."

Yue Hai and the others also immediately prepared, Qin Sai heaved a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and turned to go.When she rushed back to the woods, Zhou Yin had already led the destroying front battalion to surround the Funan soldiers who would commit crimes. The destroying front camp, which had not seen blood for a long time, smelled blood, and they were excited to compete one by one. Zhou Yin, who had always been eager to fight, was very excited. Calmly, he stood on a big rock, surrounded by ten guards on guard, cutting down the Funan soldiers who occasionally broke through and intercepted in front of him, while Zhou Yin set up an arbor with his hands and concentrated on checking the situation on the battlefield.

"Lieutenant Zhou..." Qin Sai told Zhou Yin about Sun Shao's decision at the top of his voice.

The corner of Zhou Yin's mouth twitched, he glanced at Qin Sai, and turned his attention back to the battlefield. He just nodded and responded, "I see. You and Feng Ming should bring more people and look behind these Funan people. If there are any reinforcements, let me know if there is any news.”

"Here." Qin Sai responded, and Feng Ming led more than 50 people around the battlefield and ran straight ahead.

"Kill!" Zhou Yin waved his hand and shouted viciously: "It's too embarrassing for 1000 people to challenge me to destroy Fengying. Send an order to kill all these monkeys. If one escapes, the signboard of Ruifengying will be smashed!" gone."

With the sound of drums, the already excited Destroying Front Camp suddenly went crazy. They yelled, waved their sharp sabers, formed a small formation, rushed forward, and beheaded Funan soldiers one after another in front of them.

Mona looked at the soldiers of the Destroying Front Camp descending like a tiger, and couldn't stop sinking.
