Horse on the World

Chapter 955 Andy the warrior guards the Quartet ([-])

"Yuan Fang sent someone to send a letter back, saying that he went to Bazhou for the purpose of finding out the mysteries of those divine power cannons." Tian Qi looked at Shang Haibo and said, "Do you think so?"

Shang Haibo leaned forward and said: "This minister is also aware of this matter, Master Yuan also sent people to recruit nearly ten master craftsmen from the capital to join him in Bozhou, but this minister believes that this matter is not the top priority now."

Tian Qi said sullenly: "Why is it not the top priority? Why did Qingtan fall and why did Qiu Zhi commit suicide? Isn't it because of this divine power cannon? What else is there to be afraid of?"

Shang Haibo smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. I experienced in Dingzhou and saw countless improvements and changes in weapons, such as the Baifa crossbow produced in Dingzhou, the handheld crossbow, the trebuchet, the eight-ox crossbow, etc. It took several years to develop successfully, and the complexity of the craftsmanship is really amazing. Any lack of place, it is impossible to complete this work. If Mr. Yuan goes to Bozhou, he will really be able to make a Shenwei cannon Come back, we have samples in our hands, and it is not possible to imitate them in a short period of time. As far as I know, it took five years to develop the gunpowder of the Shenwei cannon. With the current power. However, the cannon body of the Shenwei cannon involves a wider range of aspects, such as the grade of iron ore, the smelting of refined iron, and the casting of the cannon body. Every item is not easy to do. Our Dachu is in It started too late in this area, and although it has made rapid progress in the past few years, it is not even a star behind compared to Dingzhou No. [-] Arsenal."

Tian Qi's face was dark, "According to what you say, we can only sit and wait for death? Waiting for that Li Qing to come to the door and destroy my great Chu ancestor?"

Shang Haibo saluted and said: "According to the information of the official secretary, the current Dingzhou only has more than two hundred Shenwei cannons, which shows that this thing is not easy to manufacture, and it is impossible for Dingzhou to equip it on a large scale in a short time. Therefore, the final decisive battle must rely on traditional tactics, which provides us with an opportunity. Of course, if Master Yuan can really get this thing back, we will always have a way to have it after several years of work. The premise is that, We were able to block Li Qing's army. Therefore, this matter can only be supplementary, and must not be the main one."

Tian Qi's face softened, "The chief assistant is an old-fashioned plan to seek the country. Well, the tripod pillars of the Great Chu are here today. Let's discuss the next battle together!"

Bazhou, along the Lai River, a long-abandoned ferry terminal.A thatched shed with air leakage on all sides above the pier was originally used for shelter from the rain for people waiting for the ferry. After the pier was abandoned, the shed was in disrepair for a long time and was already dilapidated.

A beggar in ragged clothes held a dog-beating stick in one hand and a dirty broken bowl in the other, and walked into the shed hesitantly.

There was already a person waiting there in the shed.Seeing that man, the beggar immediately dropped the stick and the broken bowl in his hand, and immediately straightened his stooped back, "I have seen you, sir!"

"Yeah!" The man in the shed nodded, "How about it, did you find out everything?"

"I heard clearly from the inquiry. Those Shenwei cannons have been installed on the boat, and they are heading up the Lai River. They will berth at Savage Beach tonight."

"How many people are usually on board?"

"When sailing during the day, there are more than 150 marines on board, including sailors, a total of more than 20 people, but at night, all marine soldiers disembark and camp ashore. Some sailors will also come down from the ship. More than [-] people."

"20 people, we should have a chance!" the man said in a low voice.

"Have all the arrangements for the people from the capital been made?"

"The artisans brought by Master Xiaosan have been arranged to the place designated by the adults, and the other masters of the staff are led by Master Xiaosan, and they have already lurked near the Savage Beach!" the beggar said.

"Very well, come here, I already have a plan here, and I need you to make some preparations." The man said.

"Yes, but my lord, I don't understand. We are going to steal the mighty cannon this time, but the cannon weighs thousands of catties. How can we get rid of it?" The beggar looked puzzled, "And even if we even The ships were also stolen together, but the other party has so many ships, we have no chance to escape far, right?"

"This is not something you have to deal with. I just ask you to prepare the things you have prepared! Someone will instruct you how to do it then."

"Yes, the villain understands!" Seeing the real aura in the eyes of the other party, the beggar was shocked, and bowed out of the thatched house.

The man stayed in the room for about a stick of incense, and then he got up and left the room, flying away.

This mysterious visitor was Yuan Fang, the commander of the staff who was going to Dingzhou to spy on the Shenwei Cannon.

Qingfeng, the director of the Dingzhou Supervisory Academy, has already rushed to Xuncheng, Bazhou. Because of her arrival, the small county town of Xuncheng was immediately heavily guarded, and Qingfeng was surrounded by experts. Apart from Xia Xue, Qiuping, Han Yong, Han Renjie and his son are also inseparable.Although the Battle of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was over, Zhong Ziqi and Zhou Yu were nowhere to be found. The Overwatch Council dug three feet and found no trace of them. But he is a great master. Xia Xueqiuping and Han Yong suffered a lot from him in the battle of Niujiaozhai, and he has lingering fears about this lame man. Among them, only Han Renjie can stop Zhou Yu. Afterwards, Han Renjie never left Qingfeng. Everyone in the Overwatch Council was worried that Zhou Yu would follow Xu Siyu's example and come to assassinate Qingfeng.

"Yuan Fang has arrived in Bazhou, where did the news come from?" Qingfeng asked.

"Report to the dean!" Qingfeng lowered his head, and a capable man cupped his hands and said: "This is the news from Shang Shuhuan. For the past two years, he has been following Yuan Fang's whereabouts and wanted to avenge his mother, but Yuan Fang's martial arts are extremely high, and he is extremely vigilant. Although Shang Shuhuan is no longer the frail scholar he used to be, he is far behind Yuan Fang by thousands of miles. He knows his temperament well, and if he tells a joke, where is Yuan Fang, the present Shang Shuhuan can tell where Yuan Fang is just by smelling it with his nose. Therefore, after we got the information from Shang Shuhuan, we didn’t dare to delay at all, and went to the hospital immediately. Report to the court."

Qingfeng smiled slightly, "Shang Shuhuan really has his heart, very good, if he captures Yuan Fang this time, he will let Shang Shuhuan realize his wish, and it can be regarded as our Overwatch Council's reward for his work in the past few years."

"Shang Shuhuan will be very happy if he knows what the dean said." The man said.

"Then what happened to Yuan Fang after he entered Bazhou?" Qingfeng asked.

The man looked embarrassed, "After he entered Bazhou, he disappeared without a trace. His subordinates are investigating diligently, and Shang Shuhuan is also looking for him."

Qingfeng frowned, "Disappeared? This shows that the Secretary of Staff Fang still has a lot of people in Bozhou, otherwise, how could he disappear without a trace? If you can't find him, it means someone is covering for him, looking for news for him, and put the scouting surface on it. As for finding out Yuan Fang's whereabouts, leave it to Shang Shuhuan's team!"

"As ordered!"

"Bozhou, is there anything in Bazhou worth Yuan Fang's visit in person?" Seeing the back of the man leaving, Qingfeng tapped his fingers on the table, frowning and thinking hard.

Qingfeng, who has no clue, can only wait passively in Xuncheng. No matter what Yuan Fang wants to do, as long as he acts, he will show his feet, and there will be traces to be traced. Qingfeng dare not be careless about Yuan Fang , and did not dare to act rashly. Qingfeng has been in this industry for nearly ten years, and the only times she suffered losses were at the hands of Yuan Fang. She really dare not take this enemy lightly.

three days later.

Riding a fast horse galloped into Xun City, the knight immediately got off his horse, took out his waist card, held it high in his hand, and rushed all the way into Qingfeng's residence.

"Dean, something happened, something happened!" The visitor shouted.

Hearing someone's shout, Qingfeng was refreshed, and Yuan Fang made a move. He was not afraid of him making a move, but he was afraid that he would remain silent.

"What happened?" Qingfeng asked.

The visitor even forgot to pay respects, looking at Qingfeng, out of breath, said: "When the navy fleet was anchored at Savage Beach, it was attacked by unknown people at night, and a warship was captured."

Qingfeng suddenly stood up, "A battleship was captured?"

"Yes, there were only about [-] people left behind on the battleship that night. They were sneaked onto the ship and killed them all silently. Taking advantage of the darkness, these people pulled anchor and set sail. The ship was discovered after traveling several miles."

"They escaped?" Qingfeng asked incredulously.There are more than a hundred ships in the navy fleet along the Lai River. If the opponent is allowed to escape, it would be a myth.

"No!" The person who came shook his head, "The navy's pursuit ship caught up with the ship two hours later, but the enemy who rushed to the ship was extremely tenacious. After resisting in vain, they even detonated the ammunition of the Shenwei cannon on the ship. , the ship and the marines attacking the ship were blown to the bottom of the river, and the two warships that went up were also severely damaged."

"What does Yuan Fang want to do?" Qingfeng sat back on the chair, "Paying huge casualties just to grab a ship, no, no!" She raised her head eagerly, "Did the military salvage the ship?"

The messenger said: "When the villain set off, the navy was salvaging the dead soldiers and the enemy's corpses. The ship has sunk, so why salvage it?"

Qingfeng raised his legs and left, "Xia Xue, Qiuping, notify the special agent of the Overwatch Council, let's go to Savage Beach!"

Two days later, Qingfeng and his party appeared at Savage Beach. Here, the naval fleet had already pulled out anchor, leaving only two heavily damaged warships moored on the shore alone, and some craftsmen were busy repairing the ships.

"The sunken ship hasn't been salvaged?" Qingfeng asked a school lieutenant who was staying here, and the school lieutenant looked annoyed, "My lord, no, the ship has been blown into two pieces, and it's useless to fish it up. "

With a sullen face, Qingfeng walked to the side of the two ships, stared at them for a while, then turned around and said, "Han Yong!"

"The end is here!"

"You immediately organize people to go to the place where the battleship sank, and send people to dive into the water to see the silent ship!"
