Chapter 1386 Capture of Bright Moon City (4)

Don't worry that ten warships can't take care of [-] captives. Just dismantle the weapons and power equipment of those wrecked ships and drive the captives up. If there is any change, they will sink directly.

On the way forward, Zhao Hu was still a little dazed at the fact that he had won the naval battle so easily. Didn't it mean that it was very difficult to win a complete victory in the naval battle?How could he annihilate the entire Mingyue Navy so easily?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hu could only laugh at himself, all this was a coincidence.

Coincidentally, he killed the young master of Mingyue City and seized [-] warships. The Mingyue Navy didn't know about it, and when he came with a large team, he even lined up to greet him stupidly.

Such a victory was achieved because the opponent was unprepared and eliminated the flagship immediately.

But if you underestimate the Mingyue Navy because of this, you will be desperate.

Just looking at the superiority of such troops plus the sneak attack, and the fact that the other party lost their unified command, they actually suffered a two-to-one loss.From this, we can know that if it is a fair and square duel, the result will definitely be reversed.

And maybe the Mingyue Navy wiped out all of their side, and they haven't lost many warships yet, because they don't have any naval commanders on their side.

The captain who has some knowledge of naval warfare on his own side only knows how to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand, and he believes that the same is true for his own command.

Now it seems that the biggest blow to the enemy, and the biggest blow to the enemy at the same time, is the long-range attack. The warships lost by both sides were sunk in this way.

In addition to killing the opponent's sailors and obtaining the warship, hand-to-hand combat cannot determine the tendency of the balance of victory.

Perhaps, the key to naval battles is to see who can sink the opponent's warship at the farthest distance and at the fastest speed, not whose sailors are strong or have more sailors.

If they would attack each other at such a long distance in the future, I believe that the sailors on the warship would not have to fight hand-to-hand, and the balance of victory would have already determined the tendency.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu glanced at the excited Kaihai. He knew that this was a talent, because he was the one who issued the orders to adjust the angle of the siege crossbow and the catapult.

Sensing Zhao Hu's gaze, Kai Hai immediately knelt down on his knees, put his hands on the ground, and said in a respectful tone: "My lord, please let the villain become your retainer. The villain is willing to swear allegiance to you to the death, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation! "

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "Don't call me Lord, just call me an adult."

Kai Hai was stunned for a moment, but although he didn't understand why he couldn't address him as the lord, he still knew that the other party had accepted him, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed with joy: "See you, my lord!"

Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Get up."

At this time, Zhao Hu suddenly realized that he had cavalry and infantry under his command, but he lacked siege soldiers. Well, he just placed this guy, so he said: "Seeing that you are very good at long-range attack, choose people to form a long-range attack team, equip These are the siege crossbows and catapults."

Although Kai Hai looked forward to being able to command a warship, but thinking that he had just come here, he was not important to the lord, and commanding a siege crossbow and a catapult was also to his liking, so he humbly accepted the appointment.

Afterwards, Kaihai began to recruit people in the fleet. He knew very well that after landing, it was a good opportunity for him to make contributions.

Zhao Hu met Morde at sea, but Zhao Hu didn't notice the small boat, and when Morde saw ten warships with the flag of the Mingyue Water Army, his first reaction was that it was over, it must be the Mingyue Water Army Seeing the thick smoke at the pier, I rushed to help.

Since there was no way to escape in front of the warship, Maude resigned to his fate and steered the boat aside to make way, to see if he would be ignored by these sailors.

Seeing these warships directly ignoring him and going straight to the pier, Moder realized that he was worrying too much after heaved a sigh of relief. The sea was densely covered with small boats, and the warships of Mingyue City would not find him at all.

Of course Maude knew that these small boats were all good natives who had escaped from the fire at the pier.

People like them are very sensitive to the situation. If there is any trouble, they will sail the boat out to sea, and only run back when the situation subsides.

It's not to blame for their quick movements, it's all because of the fact that there will be infighting on the pier where a large number of rogues gather, almost every year or so, forcing them out.

Seeing how tattered these boats were, Maud smiled gloatingly.

It seems that those rich people did not run away.

In the past, there were signs of turmoil every time, so the rich could run back to the city or go out to sea in advance, but this time it was very sudden, even if I was the fuse, I didn't have the consciousness to start a turmoil before the ignition. How can I know?

Hehe, those gangsters must have had a great time looting, but when the lord comes, they will spit out everything they swallowed.

When Maude was thinking wildly, his subordinates reminded him: "My lord, why did the Mingyue Navy dispatch so many warships? There are more than a hundred of them, but apart from the first ten, why are the other warships so dilapidated?" ?When did the Mingyue navy become so poor?
"Huh? Look, my lord! That ship is very similar to the one we drove to the main hall last time!"

Maude took a closer look, it didn't look like it, but it was indeed his sea ship last time!
Maude immediately jumped up and shouted: "Quick! Post it quickly! This is the lord's fleet! We must catch up before the lord lands. This is a great opportunity for us to show our merits!"

Most of Mod's subordinates are not stupid asses. Of course, they understand that if they show their merits now, other rogues on the shore have put in a lot of effort to do things, such as the feats of destroying two thousand bright moon soldiers. Other rogues will surely come to claim credit.

Motivated by great feats, Maude's men immediately paddled bravely.

Although they couldn't catch up with the leading warship, the serpentine fleet of hundreds of ships was enough for them to easily pass by.

After some shouting, Maude was picked up by a warship.

After getting on the boat, Maude realized that if not every ship had rogues as sailors, probably none of the ships would pay attention to him, because the others didn't know him at all.

Aware of this situation, Maude realized that his popularity on the lord's side was very low.

Not to mention the five personal guards around the lord, not to mention the leader of the militia, Juan, he is not even as good as the eight hundred cavalry chiefs.

At least those militiamen know that they are called knives, swords, guns, bows, shields, iron, horses, and soldiers.

It is absolutely impossible to stand out in a faction with a low reputation.

When Maude rushed to the flagship, he specially asked his subordinates to disperse on each ship, boast of their meritorious deeds to the sailors, and repeatedly mentioned his name many times.

Seeing that his subordinates patted their chests to reassure, Maud was very proud of his cleverness.

In this way, even if Nangong Dun made as much contribution as himself, the position of city lord would still be his own, because his popularity would definitely be higher than Nangong Dun's.

When he was quickly sent to the front by a warship, Moder, who had already learned the situation of the Zhaohu sea battle, looked at the ten Mingyue Navy warships and thought happily: "Hey, I didn't expect the lord to be so powerful, and it's not so bad." With great effort, the Mingyue Navy was wiped out. It seems that it was a wise decision for me to seek refuge with this lord.

"Who would have thought that not long ago, I was just the leader of dozens of rogues? The prosperity and wealth will keep coming!"

After boarding the flagship, Moder came to Zhao Hu nodding and bowing all the way.

No way, except for those who came from bandits, the others were all Zhao Hu's old subordinates, not to mention the prairie cavalry, even the territorial militiamen had a higher status than him, not to mention the full bodyguards.

Seeing Zhao Hu, Mo De made a salute and said: "My subordinate, Mo De, pays respects to Your Excellency, and congratulates Your Excellency on winning the flag and annihilating the Mingyue Navy in one fell swoop. My Lord Wuwei's subordinates are deeply honored."

Kai Hai, who didn't care about Maud at first, immediately became agitated when he heard Maud's name. Is this guy one of the lord's only former retainers?It seems that you have to pay attention to him, but I hope to become the chief retainer.

"Mode, how are things going?" Zhao Hu asked casually as he watched the pier getting closer.

"My lord, according to your instructions, I have attracted 7000 people from the regular army of Mingyue City." Maud said respectfully.

The content of what he said was similar to the real situation, but it turned out that he deliberately set fire to attract the Mingyue Army, then commanded the rogues to kill 2000 people who were fighting the fire, and then directed the rogues to bring the reinforcements of [-] Mingyue troops to the pier to fight in the streets. Finally seeing the lord coming, he put down the troops and came to greet him in person.

Judging from what he said, all the credit was done by him, so that most people who heard the words stared and looked at him in disbelief.Especially Kaihai, staring at Maude like you are lying.

Kai Hai is now cursing in his heart: "Damn it, although I don't know what your abilities are, but seeing that you have been the little leader of the gangsters for so long, I know it's nothing special. You can do so many things with just a guy like you? If you have this ability, you have already turned the world upside down! Liar!"

Of course, Kaihai didn't dare to speak out directly to offend Maude, after all, Maude took refuge earlier than him.

And the most important point is that after getting on the boat, Maude walked over with nodding and bowing all the way, and he was even more like a pug to the beauty of the lord's personal guard.

Coupled with the fact that few of the guards present cared about him, it can be seen from this that the status of these retainers under the lord's command is pitifully low, and they may only be better than those sailors.

In this case, the retainers who belong to the extremely low status should stop biting dogs for the time being.

Zhao Hu didn't care whether it was Maud who did it himself, what he cared about was that the soldiers of Mingyue City were drawn out, so he nodded with a smile and waved his hand and said, "Well done, this is the reward."
