New Wagang

Chapter 646
"Believe in the king."

Sima Ran sighed faintly, and said, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to promise you this matter of food and grass."

"Vice Chief." Lu Mingyue came out of the ship, bowed his hands to Sima Ran, and said, "It's very windy and cold outside tonight, so please come to the cabin to rest, don't catch the wind and cold."

"Thank you, General Lu, Gu Nian." Sima Ran quickly bowed his hands to Lu Mingyue to thank him.

I admire Lu Mingyue Sima Ran very much. Sima Ran was conquered from the first day when he saw such a huge fleet of ships. Before he lived in seclusion, he used to wander around like Li Jing or Li Chunfeng People who have lived in the vast world.

However, the navy of the Daxin Kingdom really opened Sima Ran's horizons, and he also admired the almost perfect Lu Mingyue who managed such a large fleet.

Sima Ran then chatted with Lu Mingyue again, and then walked towards the ship cabin, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back to look at Lu Mingyue, and said, "General Lu, is there something going to happen tonight? no?"

Lu Mingyue didn't seem to expect Sima Ran to ask this question, and wanted to deny it, but this person was indeed the deputy head of the capital that his brother personally promoted, and for a while, Lu Mingyue hesitated a little.

Sima Ran knew it well, and walked back to Lu Mingyue again, smiled and pointed to some sergeants who suddenly joined in front of the warehouse, and said: "Could it be that the imperial soldiers and horses came back to rob the grain and grass tonight, so that General Lu Protect me so carefully."

Lu Mingyue didn't expect that Sima Ran had already guessed everything accurately without saying a word, so she had no choice but to nod her head and said, "My brother has already told me to protect the lieutenant and the lord."

After a short pause, Lu Mingyue said again: "The scouts learned that the imperial soldiers and horses will attack tonight to burn food and grass, so it's better to invite the deputy chief of the capital to enter the ship's warehouse."

"Is it possible for General Lu to stay in the water for an hour without breathing?" Lu Mingyue was really surprised by Sima Ran's sudden words. She looked at Sima Ran in surprise and said, "I can hide in the water for three days and two nights, but I can't." Do not take a breath, let alone an hour, even a quarter of an hour."

"Can General Lu be strong enough to fight a cow in the battle?" Sima Ran continued to ask, this question once again surprised Lu Mingyue, and the expression in his eyes that looked at Sima Ran became infinitely brighter.

Lu Mingyue shook her head again.

Sima Ran chuckled, stretched out his hand to stroke the two beards under his forehead, and then slowly said: "An old man can do it, even the sword in his hand and this Fuchen around his waist can fend off ten enemies. General, don't worry, please convey Pindao's gratitude to the leader of the capital on Pindao's behalf."

"Ah!" Lu Mingyue couldn't help exclaiming in a soft voice, and then hurriedly bowed to Sima Ran to apologize, and Sima Ran helped Lu Mingyue up, and also said thank you Gu Nian directly, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The two talked briefly again, Sima Ran saw that Lu Mingyue didn't seem to intend to leave, so he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Since General Lu said that there will be soldiers and horses coming to burn food and grass tonight, why didn't you see General Lu's response?" ?”

"Response, not tonight, but every day and every night." Lu Mingyue smiled indifferently, seeing Sima Ran's puzzled expression, and then said: "Apart from the things that the navy does in the water , There are also shore scouts, there will be shore scouts to clean up and find out everything in certain areas where the navy comes all the way, and the prevention and control range after the fleet is anchored is not limited to the water surface area where the fleet is located."

With Lu Mingyue's explanation, Sima Ran also took a deep breath, and couldn't help admiring that the navy has always been so cautious and comprehensive.

"This time, the soldiers and horses who came to burn and plunder our food and grass may not be wiped out by our army if they appear within our sight range. If they can come into our sight, then the opponent's The number of soldiers and horses coming this time is also in the number of [-]."

Sima Ran's eyes widened involuntarily.

Only [-] men and horses can come to this river. In other words, without the strength of [-] soldiers and horses, there is no way to pose any threat to these warships.

However, it is generally impossible to send [-] soldiers and horses to rob food and grass. The reason is that plundering food and grass generally pays attention to a certain speed. The kerosene bottle is a way to directly burn food and grass from a long distance.

Therefore, the plundering of food and grass is generally based on small and capable soldiers, usually around one thousand or two thousand, and five thousand soldiers are rare, let alone [-] soldiers and horses coming to rob food and grass.

"General Lu is saying that not only tonight, but any night the fleet is always ready to destroy less than [-] soldiers and horses who come to plunder food and grass at any time?" Sima Ran couldn't imagine keeping everyone in such a state of preparation for battle, and still Always be on guard against the false.

Lu Mingyue nodded.

At this time, a signal arrow suddenly shot out from the distant night sky, causing both of them to look at it. Lu Mingyue smiled and said, "It's really here."

As soon as the words of the four words were finished, a faint cry of killing was heard. The sound was sometimes audible and sometimes faint, and it was conceivable that it was quite a distance from the shore.

Sima Ran scanned the entire fleet, and all the soldiers and horses in the fleet were ready to fight, but he really didn't intend to go ashore to support them.

Lu Mingyue saw that Sima Ran's mind was no longer on the conversation, so she didn't speak any more. She just quietly looked at the distant night sky, and looked at Sima Ran from time to time.

But Sima Ran went to the bow of the ship for a while to take a look, and then ran to the stern to take a look. The time passed like this, and the sound of shouts and clashes of knives and guns that had been in the distance seemed to be getting closer for a while. , but was pushed back immediately.

And as time passed, the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.

About two quarters of an hour later, soldiers and horses finally came to the shore to report the news. After boarding the ship, Lu Mingyue went up to meet her, and only heard the excited voice of the general, saying: "Second general, the enemy army Night attack, ambushed by our army, wounded 790 and three enemies, killed 860 and seven, captured 580 and four, and a small number of soldiers and horses fled back.”

"There are a lot of people here, maybe [-] soldiers and horses." Lu Mingyue calculated it, and then asked: "How about the casualties of our army?"

"Our army injured 39 people, none of them died, but seven brothers were seriously injured." The general's excited expression was slightly sad, as if he was thinking of the seven seriously injured sergeants.

"Treat the wounds of the brothers well. This time, I will report to King Xin and the military adviser at dawn when I have made great achievements this time. Let's go back."
