The best little eunuch

Chapter 151 Bullying Dong'er
Chapter 151 Bullying Dong'er
Shocked, Lin Feng asked: "You said you snatched it from the Silla army?"

"I heard what the old people on the island said. I don't know if it's true." The leader of the pirates said, "Anyway, when I went to the island, that ship existed."

"Where are the catapults on the island?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"At these locations." The leader of the pirates marked a few points on the map he had just drawn, and said.

"Okay, you go down first, I will come to you again if there is something to do." Lin Feng waved his hand and asked someone to take the leader of the pirates down.Then he looked at Hu Ruowu and said, "There may be a lucky boat on the island."

"My lord, if we can take down this island, half of our navy's warship problem will be solved." Hu Ruowu said a little excitedly.If the navy can have a lucky boat and match it with five or six warships, then the overall combat effectiveness of the navy will increase.

"However, we are short of manpower." Lin Feng said.Now the navy is small, and there is a serious shortage of warships.You can't fight with 200 people like this, can you?Isn't this hitting a stone with a pebble?
"Then we can only wait for a while." Hu Ruowu said: "We will go after the shipyard has built the warship. However, after a long time, the pirates on the island may become suspicious. At that time, they have If you are on guard, it will be difficult to fight."

"General Xin, you have to work hard, go back quickly and call your elite." Lin Feng said: "The navy is short of manpower, so you can only be responsible for the main attack."

"Yes, my lord, I'll go back and transfer someone." Xin Hong said happily.He likes fighting things the most.

"But, we don't have so many ships to transport soldiers?" Hu Ruowu continued.

"We can only collect private ships." Lin Feng said: "Send someone to send a letter to Yuan Yu, asking him to collect all the ships in the province as quickly as possible. I need it urgently."

"Yes, the last general will go here." Niu Jin said, and also took orders to go.

The preparations before the battle are in full swing.The most important part this time is to install all the ten cannons that Lin Feng brought this time on the battleship.

"My lord, the general has summoned all the master craftsmen from Mawei Shipyard." Hu Ruowu said to Lin Feng who was carefully observing the map of Horseshoe Island.

Lifting his head, Lin Feng said, "Go, have a look."

At this time, a lot of people had gathered at the berth of the ships in the naval camp.

Seeing Lin Feng and Hu Ruowu approaching, an older man hurriedly brought the masters of the shipyard to salute Lin Feng and Hu Ruowu.

"Please get up quickly." Lin Feng quickly helped the master up.

"Can this artillery be installed?" Lin Feng asked eagerly.Without some advantage in firepower, it would be impossible for Lin Feng and the others to take down Horseshoe Island, so they could only watch this piece of fat slip away from their mouths.

"Returning to my lord, the villain checked it out. It is not difficult to install it, but if the hull of the cannon cannot be balanced when it is fired, then it is meaningless to install the cannon." The master said: "First, it is not accurate ;Secondly, it is easy to make the ship capsize."

"I brought a new type of artillery this time. The recoil is relatively small, so there should be no problem." Lin Feng said.Although he said so on his lips, he had no idea in his heart.After all, he had never actually used this artillery.

"My lord, this needs to be tested in the field before we can draw a conclusion." The master is relatively strict and believes that only after the test can he draw a conclusion.

"Test?" Lin Feng asked suspiciously, "How to test?"

"Testing on a big ship is definitely not enough. If it capsizes, the big ship will be destroyed." The old master said, "It's better to get a small boat and try it first. Let's try it with a cannon first, and the villain will see." Only by seeing the effect can we know whether it will work or not.”

"Okay, let's go test it now." Lin Feng said eagerly.

"Yes, my lord," said the old master.

Under Hu Ruowu's command, the soldiers anchored a relatively small boat that was not only small but also broken.It seems that this Hu Ruowu didn't dare to use a good boat as an experiment, after all, if it capsized, the boat would be almost destroyed.

At the same time, someone brought the cannon from the warehouse, Lin Feng asked: "How long will it take to fix the cannon on the ship?"

"An hour will do," said the old master.Then he took several other people and directed the soldiers to get the artillery onto the ship.

Since all warships have crenels, it is not necessary to consider the placement of artillery.To install the artillery, the first thing is to get a fixed gun mount, otherwise, the artillery cannot be fired.Moreover, this gun mount cannot be completely fixed. After all, the artillery is front-loaded. If it is completely fixed, it will not be possible to load ammunition.

Fortunately, these master craftsmen are very experienced, and they cooperate well with each other.

"My lord, why don't you go back and rest for a while? After waiting, the general will call you." Hu Ruowu said to Lin Feng seeing that it would take some time for the craftsmen to install the cannon.After all, the beach is still quite hot.

"It's okay, I'll watch here. If you let me go back, I'm really worried." Lin Feng said.Lin Feng has this kind of personality. He likes to do everything by himself. Although he knows that some things have to be done by others, he still can't help but want to do everything by himself, especially for such big things.

Seeing Lin Feng's firm attitude, Hu Ruowu didn't say anything, but waited with Lin Feng for the craftsmen to finish installing the cannon as soon as possible.

The time passed in the anticipation of everyone, and several old craftsmen were also busy and sweating, but seeing the cannon frame that was about to be completed, the craftsmen also showed gratified smiles.

After a long sigh of relief, the master stood up and said to Lin Feng: "My lord, it has been installed."

"General Hu, send a few people to try it." Lin Feng said.After all, the artillery is not finished after it is installed, it has to be tested.

"Yes, my lord." Hu Ruowu said, and went to dispatch soldiers.

Five soldiers were driving the small boat, and the largest boat in the navy camp followed behind. If the boat rolled over or something unexpected happened, they could immediately rescue it.

Lin Feng naturally followed the boat. Ruan Ling'er and Dong'er went out this morning, probably for shopping, and they haven't been seen for a whole day.But that's fine, otherwise, with Dong'er's temperament, she would have to beg Lin Feng to take her there.

There is a certain distance between the big boat and the small boat, firstly to prevent any impact on the small boat, and secondly for safety reasons.

The boat traveled a certain distance, and when it was far from the coast, it stopped.The big ship just broke down and stopped. Lin Feng and the others stood at the bow, staring at the operation of the small boat.

The five soldiers on the boat were also very nervous.Fortunately, they are old men of the Dongting Navy, and they are much more mature than those recruits.Although he was nervous, he was still loading ammunition according to the regulations.

The five soldiers cooperated, and after loading gunpowder from the front chamber, they loaded a big iron ball into it.Then pound them down with a wooden stick.After everything was ready, the soldiers on the boat signaled to Lin Feng and the others.

"My lord, they said that all the preparations are finished, do you want to launch it?" Hu Ruowu asked Lin Feng for instructions.

"Launch." Lin Feng said.Regardless of whether it is successful or not, you will know when the shot is fired, and it is not beautiful to be hesitant.

"Yes, my lord." Hu Ruowu said, and ordered the flag bearer to issue an order.

"My lord, do you want to retreat to the cabin to have a look?" Hu Ruowu said to Lin Feng out of safety considerations.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng said, "It's okay. I can see clearly from here. Meanwhile, the soldiers are getting ready for first aid."

"Yes, my lord." Hu Ruowu said, and immediately asked the soldiers to put down the sampan, ready for rescue at all times.

After receiving the order, the soldiers on the small boat made a confident smile at Lin Feng and the others, and then they were ready to launch.
