Black-bellied Prince: Princess Ding is 13 years old

Chapter 109 Casting a Net to Collect Accounts (2)
Luo Jin nodded slightly, hoping that he was just thinking too much.

The boat sailed until noon the next day before arriving at the border water boundary between Shunchang and Yongle.The nearest small town of Shunchang is an island city.In addition to Bai Yu's two warships docking at the port, there is another one docking at the shore, which is one of the team led by General Qi who arrived earlier than them, and the other two went out to sea to patrol and investigate the water boundary. .

Bai Yu secretly observed the number of people in the Shunchang Navy, and it was about [-].

"When General Qi comes back, let's go and have a look." Luo Jin said to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu nodded, and before he could speak, thick smoke and the sound of horns rose from the distant sea.Luo Jin and Bai Yu looked together.

"Prince, General Qi is in a hurry!" An older general reported to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin took the telescope-like thing in the old man's hand, stretched it out and looked into the distance, frowning, "Take two more warships and set out to rescue General Qi!" Luo Jin gave the order, and the soldiers who had just disembarked hurriedly After getting on the boat, the boat immediately sailed forward.

Bai Yu knew in his heart that Zhe must have led General Hu and the others here according to the agreement.

On the ship against the wind, the sea wind howled, and the flags flapped, and the war between the two countries seemed to be imminent!
Not long after, the two warships led by Prince Luo Jin of Shunchang joined the two warships of General Qi, and the four warships stopped at the side of the water boundary, and 500 meters away was the water territory of Yongle.

The crown prince jumped onto General Qi's boat, and Bai Yu also jumped over.

"General Qi, what's the situation?" Luo Jin asked immediately as soon as he got on the deck.

"See the prince, the prince and Major General Bai please take a look," General Qi handed the binoculars to Luo Jin and Bai Yu.He opened his mouth again: "The number of warships of the Yongle Navy has suddenly increased dramatically, and the hull is very... Strange."

Bai Yu and Luo Jin looked together, and there were already five large ships parked on the opposite sea surface. The three ships on the far side were no different from Shunchang's warships, but in the middle, there were two much larger warships with a rather peculiar hull structure. , On the big boat in the middle, there was a person standing impressively, with an incomparably handsome appearance, it was Yongle Xiaohuang!

Bai Yu raised her lips secretly in her heart, Zhe really came on time, the boat that General Hu and the others built was exactly the same as what she designed!In such a short period of time, two ships were built, which is really amazing!
"What's the reason for Xiao Huang's actions? Did you send a message?" Luo Jin asked.

"Back to the prince, no."

"The whole army is on alert, before the other party makes a move, don't act rashly!" Luo Jin ordered, "Get closer, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Xiao Huang's gourd!"

On this side, Shunchang's boat is slowly approaching the water boundary, and on the other side, Yongle's boat is also slowly approaching, no one has made a move, they are all secretly watching.

In the end, the two ships were only 50 meters away.Both sides are no longer close.

Luo Jin stood at the bow of the boat, facing Xiao Zizhe, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Xiao Huang! We meet again!"

Xiao Zizhe also stood at the bow of the boat, clasped his fists and returned: "Yes! Prince Luo Jin, we meet again! But why did Prince Luo Jin come here? Is he going to visit Yongle!"

Seeing that Xiao Zizhe questioned them about Shunchang instead, Luo Jin said, "I came here purely because Emperor Xiao first gathered troops in the border water area. Could it be that Emperor Xiao wanted to destroy the peace agreement between the two countries?"

"I am parading troops in the waters of my own country, how can I destroy the peace between the two countries?" Xiao Zizhe asked with a smile.

Luo Jin was a little angry at his words, military parade?Is there such a military parade?This is clearly a demonstration! "It is stated in the peace agreement that military training in the high seas is not allowed, has Xiao Huang forgotten?" Luo Jin said in a slightly cold tone.

"Didn't I just say that this is not military training! It's a military parade! Prince Luo Jin also knows that Yongle is no better than Shunchang. There are so many sea areas, and Yongle has not crossed the border. Why did Prince Luo Jin say that?" Xiao Zizhe seemed to be deliberately Annoyed Shunchang's soldiers and forced them to attack first.

Naturally, Luo Jin knew Xiao Zizhe's intentions, and secretly suppressed the anger in his heart. Seeing this, Bai Yu who was on the side secretly exerted force in his palm, looking at the Shunchang soldiers who were hiding in the dark and shooting sniper arrows, and issued palm force without a trace.

The sharp arrow that was originally stretched on the crossbow flew straight towards Xiao Zizhe because of Bai Yu's "pushing the waves and fueling the flames". The speed was so fast that the arrow had already landed on Yongle's mast, and everyone realized it.

Xiao Zizhe on the opposite side darkened his face, and said sharply: "Prince Luo Jin wants to destroy the peace between the two countries first, and wants to put me to death?"

This is sometimes the case on the battlefield, the cause of the battle is not very important, the important thing is who started the war first!Just like Yongle and Shunchang, originally signed a peace agreement, if one of the parties made the first move, it would inevitably fall into disrepute.That's why Bai Yu "helped" Shunchang to burn this fire vigorously!

Seeing this, Luo Jin already understood that Shunchang had been tricked, and it seemed that a bad battle was inevitable!

"Soldiers of Yongle listen to the order! Today, Shunchang broke the peace agreement between the two countries first, and wanted to murder me and try to mistreat Yongle. I have so many iron-blooded men in Yongle! How can I ask Shunchang to deceive me! To lead the army today, we must Drive away the enemy troops in Shunchang, protect our mountains and rivers! Protect our people!" On the opposite boat, Xiao Zizhe spoke grandly, showing the domineering arrogance of the king, and the corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched secretly, happy for Xiao Zizhe's speech that inspired the soldiers so much.

"Protect my country! Protect my people! Protect my country! Protect my people..." Yongle soldiers and Tiemu elite soldiers were encouraged by Xiao Zizhe, and their morale increased greatly!They all shouted in unison, the voice was loud and inspiring!

Xiao Zizhe jumped up, stood on the mast of the ship, and put the horn to his mouth.A long and exciting horn sounded, and the Yongle warships lined up. The two ships in the middle began to turn, and they all pointed sideways in the direction of Shunchang.

Seeing this, Luo Jin knew that the current situation was not good for the Shunchang soldiers, and he had already lost the opportunity on the battlefield.

"All the soldiers in Shunchang listen to the order! Get ready and face the battle!" After Luo Jin's words, some soldiers over there also blew the horn of the battle order.Shunchang Navy, everyone takes their positions.

In ancient water warfare, there were mainly three attack methods, one was to sink or burn the opponent's warship, and the other was to effectively kill the opponent's crew.In long-distance combat, bows and crossbows are often used as attack weapons.Ordinary bows and crossbows can only kill the crew, but arrows carrying flammable materials can also cause the opponent's warship to catch fire.The third is to directly send soldiers to local warships, and achieve the purpose of capturing enemy ships through the victory of melee combat.
