I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 865 Obtaining Information
The huge gunfire and the storm almost overturned the boat of the young man and the girl.

The two hugged each other in horror and closed their eyes.

After a long time, feeling that there was no sound outside, they slowly opened their eyes.

However, after they opened their eyes, they suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be covered by something, and the light suddenly dimmed.

The young man had his back to the river, so he didn't know what was going on at the first moment.

At this time, the girl seemed to have seen something suddenly, and quickly pushed away the young man who was hugging her tightly.

The young man was still a little puzzled,
"What's wrong with you, didn't I scare you just now!"

The girl's face was slightly red, but she didn't say anything, and silently lowered her head.

Now the young man was even more puzzled, thinking,
"Could it be that I did something I shouldn't have done just now, which embarrassed her?"

But before he could figure out what he did wrong.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from behind.

"Hahaha, look at this kid, he is really a seed of infatuation, and he knows how to care about others at this moment."

"Hey, boys, if you don't turn around quickly, you're going to be drowned!"

Hearing the sound, the young man suddenly turned his head, only to realize that the huge monster that was still far away was already in front of his eyes.

He froze for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

He hurriedly picked up the paddle and rowed vigorously to one side.

He didn't know whether his face was tired from exerting too much force, or because he was suddenly ashamed of being seen by so many people, and he blushed a lot like a girl.

He whispered to the girl as he rowed,

"Why didn't you remind me, just now...how embarrassing!"

Although his voice was low, he was still heard by the people on board.

Standing in the crowd, Chen Hong looked into the distance, and found that those guys who had been hit by the cannon before had fled desperately, basically giving up hope.

If he wanted to find out the situation in the water village ahead, he had to rely on these two pair of desperate mandarin ducks who had obviously just escaped from there.

So he said loudly to those around him,
"Put a ladder down and bring the two of them up. I still have something to ask them!"

The warships and high officials of the imperial court were here, and the two young men had no choice but to follow their orders and tremblingly boarded the ship along the ladder.

Chen Hong was waiting for the two of them at the bow.

As soon as the two arrived in front of him, they knelt down at the same time with a plop.

"Thank you for your life-saving grace, my lord. If you didn't show up like heavenly soldiers and generals today, the two of us might be buried in the belly of the fish."

Time was running out, and Chen Hong didn't have that much time to be courteous with them.

He just waved his hand and said,

"You are what we should do. You don't need to be so big. If you really want to thank us, then tell us about the current situation in the water village!"

Mentioning this, the young man suddenly regained his spirits, with an inexplicable light in his eyes, he said excitedly,

"My lord, could it be that you came here on purpose to wipe out these bandits?"

Before Chen Hong could speak, the adjutant beside him rushed to say,

"That's natural. Otherwise, with so many of us, the ship's guns firing in unison, could it be that we came out for sightseeing?"

Chen Hong turned his head and glared at the adjutant.

The young man didn't care about the adjutant's impatience, he nodded vigorously and said,
"I know the situation over there, and to tell you the truth, since they occupied our small fishing village, which was originally peaceful, three years ago, the villain endured the humiliation every day, waiting for this day.

God is so pitiful, God finally opened his eyes, let us wait until you, my lords. ..."

Maybe he knew that he had talked too much, so he hurriedly stopped, and then immediately changed his words to introduce the current situation of the water village to everyone.

"There is a fence around the water village, which is at least three or four meters above the water surface, enclosing the entire water village.

Their boats were basically parked inside, and there was an arrow stack every few feet away from the fence, and three archers were stationed inside it all year round.

There is a lot of kerosene hidden in the arrow stacks. Once a ship from somewhere invades, they will light the rockets and attack the enemy. "

"Because of the fence, if the enemy is evenly matched, it is extremely difficult to attack this barrier."

Chen Hong and Jiang Hao nodded as they listened to him. This information was almost the same as what they had inquired about before.

But this seemingly useful fence is nothing to a ship with a huge body, strong walls, and cannons.

Even if you don't use cannons, just relying on impact, a fence made of wood is nothing to worry about.

But if the attack was on other water villages this time, or the Yizhen Thousand Households of Jiang Hao and others, this fence wall might have become an insurmountable death barrier for them.

Jiang Hao coughed lightly and said to Chen Hong in a low voice,

"My lord, our ship is strong, and the fence is no problem for us.

Moreover, our ship is much taller than their arrow stacks, and has a top-down shooting advantage. Even if we shoot against them, we can have an absolute advantage! "

Chen Hong also nodded and said,
"You're right, the fence is really not a problem."

He paused for a moment, then continued,

"Now I'm afraid that they will run away without standing up. We only have one boat now, and we can't divide our troops to pursue it. This is a rather difficult problem."

Hearing what Chen Hong said, the young man immediately said,
"My lord, don't worry, in order to prevent surprise attacks from outsiders, the leader almost made the whole house besieged, leaving only a way out for the people in the village.

The way out is not too wide, as long as the adult's ship blocks the only exit.

Then the whole village becomes a turtle in a urn, there is no escape! "

Chen Hong laughed hahaha,
"There are still such operations, aren't they setting themselves up for themselves, it's cheaper for us!"

But the young man seemed to think of something suddenly, and said hastily,

"Although there is no other exit on the water, there is a path leading to the outside near the mountain.

Usually this path is sealed off, and there are still many people guarding it every day.

But if the situation is not good, there is a good chance that they will flee from there to the mountains.

Once they enter the mountain, it will be extremely difficult to find them. "

Hearing this, Chen Hong and the two were slightly surprised.

"Hmph, these guys are not too stupid, and they know how to leave a way out for themselves."

Chen Hong pondered for a while, and then said to the adjutants around him,

"We are here to annihilate them this time, we must not let anyone go!"
