Chapter 71 Count

The wind is getting stronger and tighter, tearing the dense canopy and roaring. The sky is getting darker and darker, as if it can drip ink. The damp air sticks to the body, which is wet and very uncomfortable. Although the rain has not yet fallen, the full rain has made people feel the signs of a rainstorm.

The silk is attached to Fan Man's solid chest, revealing a strong physique that is not commensurate with his age, but this strong chest now fluctuates a little too fast, which makes Fan Man's eyes black. He raised his hand, covered his heart like a drum, opened his mouth, and breathed the wet air desperately like a dying fish.

"King!" General Fan Ru found Fan Man's abnormality and hurried over. He just held Fan Man's rickety body, held him in his arms, and looked at Fan Man nervously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Fan Man closed his eyes tiredly and took a breath. Fan Ru took a kettle and carefully poured the sweet wine into Fan Man's mouth. Fan Man took a few sips, and his breath was calmer. He struggled to sit up and tried to look at the harbor in the distance, but he could only see a hazy one.

He was shocked: "Fan Ru, have you seen the Yue Guo Marine Division?"

"I saw it." Fan Ru glanced at it and said casually, "They are entering the port."

"How many boats are there?"

"The size is about a hundred ships." Fan Ru saw that Fan Man was all on the ship of the Yue sailor. She looked carefully again and reported in detail, "They are very skilled. More than a dozen small boats are walking in front, and some people are still holding long poles in their hands, as if measuring the depth of the water. The big ship is behind. Although the wind is strong and the waves are high, they are not chaotic at all..."

Fan Man sat on a big stone, with his hands on his thighs. He lowered his huge head and listened to Fan Ru's explanation attentively. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the shadow of the Yue sailors who were entering the port in an orderly manner in the distance, and sighed: "We have all underestimated the strength of the Yue sailors."

Fan Ru didn't say anything. He recognized the meaning of Fan Man's words. Judging from the speed of the entry and docking of the Yue Marine Division and the cooperation between them, as well as the situation that the Vietnamese warships can still maintain stability in this storm and waves, the strength of the Yue Marine Division is more than one step higher than that of the Funan Marine Division, and Fan Jinsheng's defeat in the hands of the Yue Marine Division is not unfair at all.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting higher and higher, but the Yue Guo Marine Division is not chaotic at all. Small boats, cargo ships, and medium-sized warships entered the port in turn, while Sun Shao's big ship has been outside. It was not until all the warships entered the port that they slowly came to the port. During this period, the first ship has found the most suitable waterway for large ships to enter the port. Under the guidance of several medium-sized warships, the large ships sail steadily to the port.

Fan Ru was amazed. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the largest ship entering the harbor shaking, and then stopped in place, and several people on the warships surrounded them one after another.

A burst of ecstasy surged in Fan Ru's heart: "Your Majesty, the biggest ship has hit the reef!"

"Is it?" Fan Man stood up excitedly and looked into the distance. At this moment, there was a sudden thunderstorm in the sky, and the rain poured down. The dense rain curtain suddenly blocked all the already blurred vision, and there was nothing in front of him. Fan Man looked at it in vain for a while and sighed dely: "Unfortunately, we don't have a warship, so we can only watch him sink into the sea. Otherwise, if he was captured alive, the blow to the morale of the Vietnamese army would be great.

Fan Ru put a piece of raincoat on Fan Man's shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's windy and heavy rain here, and he hit the reef again. It's not easy for the Yue people to rescue him. Maybe he really has to feed the big fish in the sea."

"It's not that easy." Fan Man shook his shoulders and looked much more relaxed: "The sailors of Yue are well-trained. How can they not cope with such a situation? Even if it is windy and rainy, in my opinion, it is not a problem for them to save King Yue.

"That's useless." Fan Ru smiled and said, "When our stone ship sinks to the port, can they still go out? Even if you go out for some boats, I'm afraid it's useless.

"There is no boat." Fan Man sighed again and waved his hand: "Order the stone boats to take advantage of the wind and waves to set out immediately and sink into the middle of the waterway. The more people will be. When they find out, there will be no chance for those stone ships to run out, and our plans will all fail."

"Yes." Fan Ru answered and went down to arrange it immediately. Fan Man sat under the big tree, and several soldiers gathered in a circle and raised a tent to shelter him from the wind and rain. Fan Man paced back and forth under the tent and refused to rest for a moment. It was not until someone came to report that the stone boat had sunk into the designated waterway. Fan Man breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, with a little satisfied smile on her face whitened by the rain.

"It's a pity that there is no boat." Fan Man looked at the direction of the harbor and sighed again. If he still had a warship now, he would kill it as soon as the wind and waves stopped, kill the whole army, capture Sun Shao, the king of Yue, completely solve the threat of Yue, and then attack Jin Chen, recover the lost land all the way to the south, and reintegrate those vassal states under the rule of Funan. Now, he can only sit in the mountain forest on the shore with 40,000 troops, watching the Yue Guo sailors stationed in the harbor and wait for the wind and waves to pass.

"Let the soldiers rest for a while, and when the rain stops, we will proceed to the next step." Fan Man gave an order, then wiped his body, lay on the marching couch, and closed his eyes. The sound of wind and rain was far away from him for a moment. In the storm, Fan Man slept for the first time in a few months.

The wind blew all night, it rained all night. When Fan Man woke up, everything in the harbor after the rain was fresh. The rocks were washed away by the rain and washed away the dust, revealing the wet black. Every leaf in the jungle was green, as if it could drip oil, refreshing everywhere, and even the annoying mosquitoes disappeared.

Fan Man shook her feet and shook off a locust that was twisting her body along the boot. She looked up at the sea in the distance.

"How about the Yue Guo sailor?"

"The return to the king, the Yue navy entered the port in time, and the loss is very limited." Fan Ru, who was watching in front of him, replied. He turned his head and looked at the refreshing Fan Man, with a happy smile on the corners of his mouth: "However, King Yue's boat is missing."

"The missing ship doesn't mean that the person is dead." Fan Man was unmoved and walked to Fan Ru's side, looking at the quiet Meng Nang Bay, and especially checked the waterway entering the port. Although he could not see the sunken ships clearly, Fan Man could feel that the more than a dozen stone-filled ships he had carefully prepared were quietly parked under the water, blocking the way for the Yue Guo Marine Division to leave the port.

Will the Yue sailors think of this trick for the rest of their lives after the disaster? The corners of Fan Man's mouth raised slightly: "Are you ready?"

"The king is ready. As long as they dare to go ashore to chase, they will definitely have no return." Fan Ru said confidently.

"Good." Fan Man praised and shook his head with regret: "If only there was a boat. We can annihire them in this harbor without passively seducing them ashore. Mana, you take someone to kill for a while and let them know that we are here.

"Yes." A black and strong man answered and turned away with more than a dozen guards. He is a king who submits to Funan. This time, on the order of Fan Man, he brought his clans to help. He has heard something about the Yue Guo Marine Division and knows that the strength of the Yue Guo Marine Division is very strong, but he has confidence in Fan Man. Fan Man has been fighting for more than 30 years, and his experience can be compared with the king of Yue as a hairy boy? Now that he saw with his own eyes that the sailor of Yue was trapped in Menganggang by Fan Man, he firmly believed that his choice was right.

Mona rushed out of the woods with the people, rushed to the seaside and shouted, and shot a few arrows at the Yue sailors. Although he could not attack the Yue sailors at all, the momentum was very strong. As soon as he saw several Yue warships rushing over, he dispersed and disappeared into the jungle.

Fan Man immediately set out with a large army and set out to march to Jin Chen again. After walking 20 miles, he arrived at the ambush site, a narrow valley that was not tall. In the jungle on both sides, he ambushed 30,000 people. As long as Sun Shao entered the valley, nearly a hundred war elephants were sent at the mouth of the valley on both sides, and the soldiers on both sides were in chaos, and the battle could be solved in a meal.

... "Your Majesty, let's go ashore and chase." Wei Ping roared and said, "The port has been blocked. If you want to clean it up again, it will be impossible to complete it in ten days and a half months. With so much time, Fan Man has already arrived at Jin Chenguo.

Sun Shao's face was gloomy, and his eyes swept around the faces of the generals. At dawn, he knew the news that the port was sealed by a sunken ship. So it was not an accident when he hit the reef when he entered the port yesterday, but a trap. Because his ship withdrew from the harbor in time, he ventured to dock in the sea. Relying on the advanced wind and waves, he could avoid a disaster. However, in this way, only his boats and some small boats could continue to sail. The medium-sized warships of cross the sea and other people could not leave the port smoothly, and those large heavy ships were even more impossible to leave the port.

In this case, Yuehai and others suggested to go ashore to chase. According to the information, Fan Man has only 10,000 people. Although the number is slightly more than them, the combat strength of the Funan soldiers is far less than that of the Yue Guo Marine Division. This has been proved by several battles. If you catch up, you are completely sure to defeat Fan Man. If you can kill Fan Man, even If Fan Man was captured alive, then even if Fu Nanguo took it, such credit stimulated Yuehai and others to be a little jealous.

However, Sun Shao was alarmed by this time. There were shipwrecks and ambushes, indicating that this is Fan Man's deliberate preparation. In this case, why can't he have other preparations? He knew that there was no sailor. Even if the sunken ship blocked the waterway out of the port, it only took some time and could not give him a fatal blow. Why did he do this? Just to buy some time so that he can rescue Jin Chen?

"What if he is ready in the jungle?" Sun Shao said coldly, "Which of you has fought in the jungle?"

Yuehai and others stopped talking. The Yue sailors have received jungle warfare training, but there is none here. He Da is a jungle warfare expert, but he is in Changshan. Cui Qianbu and Chen Haibu, who have received the practice of jungle warfare, are in Jin Chen and the other in Qian Tang, but there is no one here. They don't even know what the dangers of the jungle war are, otherwise they won't choose to chase from the sea.

"Then wait here?" Zhou Yin asked reluctantly.)

"That doesn't work either." Sun Shao touched his nose and said, "We can't be called like this, but there is no response at all. Zhou Yin, you take the destroyer camp to the shore to chase, but it can only mean that it can't exceed five miles.

"Five miles?" Zhou Yin shouted. There is still a fart on the five-mile road. I have to stop as soon as my legs and feet run away.

"If you dare to take more than one step, don't come back." Sun Shao glanced at Zhou Yin and said, "If you don't want to go, I can change someone."

"Don't." Zhou Yin quickly shouted, "I'll go, I'll go." Don't worry, Your Majesty, I only run four and a half miles to stop.

Everyone was amused by Zhou Yin's appearance. They all know that Zhou Yin is not a captain of Changle, but just wants to fight and make contributions, but so far, the destruction camp has not made any achievements. Although this time he went ashore to chase, although it was just a bluff, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity. They all know that Zhou Yin obeys Sun Shaoyan. Since he promised Sun Shao not to exceed five miles, he would never make his own decision.

"The troops went ashore to ambush. If Fan Man came to chase, he would beat his stuffy stick." Sun Shao sighed, waved his hand, and motioned the generals to prepare the goods. To be honest, he didn't expect Fan Man to be tricked at all. It was just a matter of being prepared. If he didn't fight ashore, there was no place to vent the resentment of the generals.

Soon, Zhou Yin went ashore with the destroyer camp, and soon found the traces of Fan Man and others in the camp, and chased them along. In order to prevent Zhou Yin from disobedient, Sun Shao specially sent Qin Sai and Feng Ming to assist him. Qin Sai is very familiar with the jungle environment and very good at tracking, but the five-mile road is too short. Not long after they ran, they ran for a full five-mile road, but they didn't even look at a Funan soldier.

Zhou Yin was very depressed and hated to cut a knife on the tree next to him.

"Captain, shall we go back?" Feng Ming came over and asked with a blank face.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Yin shook his head: "Take a few people nearby to collect it and see where the Funan people have gone. Be careful not to be found by the Funan people."

"Captain, is this appropriate?" Qin Saihan asked with a face, "The king ordered us not to exceed five miles."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yin looked at Qin Sai and suddenly became interested. He straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "Qin Tongyi, I want to correct your mistake. The king ordered that the destroyer camp should not be chased out of five miles, but he did not say that he could not send scouts to inquire about the situation of the Funan people. Don't you think so?"

Qin Sai was speech-sloged for a while.

"There are war elephants in the Funan people's army, and the action will not be too fast. If you are fast enough, you can find their traces in half a day at most." Zhou Yin walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and stopped in front of Qin Sai: "The king does not want to go ashore to chase, but worried about the unfamiliar terrain. It will take us at least a few days to leave this harbor. In the past few days, can you guarantee that the Funan people will not attack us? Won't you hunt us like you hunt Fan Yan's men and horses?

Qin Sai suddenly realized that his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Zhou Yin again. Although the son of the governor of Jiangdong looks a little stupid, he is not stupid. He thinks of far more things than he looks.

"Your task is to find out if there is an army of the Funan people within 50 miles." Zhou Yin said nothing more and pointed to Qin Sai and Fengming with his fingers: "Pay attention to safety and report anything immediately. You know how to report the news.

"Oh." Qin Sai and Feng Ming answered and followed along the traces with more than a dozen scouts turned from the pirates. Zhou Yin ordered the destroyers to rest in place and cast a cordon. The soldiers of the destroyer battalion have been trained by He Da and practiced in the mountains and forests of Yizhou for several months. They are no strangers to the jungle battle. With Zhou Yin's order, they acted in an orderly manner and were ready to fight.

Zhou Yin held a knife and paced back and forth in the place where Fan Man camped yesterday. He carefully recognized the traces on the ground and smiled from time to time, or praised or disdained, and occasionally surprised.

Two hours later, Qin Sai and Feng Ming came back. Looking at their faces, Zhou Yin smiled proudly: "Is there an ambush?"

"Although we didn't see the ambush, we encountered the robbery of the other party and couldn't explore forward. Generally speaking, this shows that there was something wrong with the front. We have stayed in the surveillance of the two brothers. As soon as there is news, they..."

Before Qin Sai finished speaking, she suddenly saw Zhou Yin and Feng Ming both looking up and staring behind her. She turned her head and saw that a red flower burst into the blue sky, which was the signal of the enemy's attack. Qin Sai's face changed. When he turned around and was about to speak, Zhou Yin jumped up excitedly and pushed Qin Sai's shoulder: "You go back immediately to inform the king, saying that I am here to intercept the enemy and ask him to be ready to answer. Once the enemy's offensive is too fierce, I will lead the enemy to the Gulf."

Qin Sai was about to say more. Zhou Yin had already put down his face and shouted in a low voice, "Execute the order!" Qin Sai was shocked. Zhou Yin was originally smiling when she saw everyone, and sometimes she made a harmless joke. It was the first time she had seen such a harsh speech. In amazement, Qin Sai ran to the seaside and walked more than a dozen steps away. Only then did she remember that although Zhou Yin was a captain of the destroyer camp, it was the first time to fight, but His calm look made her feel that he was a long-time general.

The general's son is really a little good. Qin Sai rushed to the seaside and thought as he thought. Returning to the bay, she rushed to the warship across the sea. Sun Shao's ship could not enter the port. At present, she temporarily borrowed the ship across the sea to command. Sun Shao and others were analyzing the terrain on the newly completed sketch of Meng Anggang. As soon as they saw Qin Sai walking in breathlessly, they exchanged glances.

"Sitting down, take a sip of water first and take a breath." Sun Shao waved his hand, and Ao Lei next to him quickly brought a glass of light wine. Fresh water storage was not easy, and the boat had been using light wine instead of drinking water. Qin Sai saw that Sun Shao and others were very calm, and he couldn't help admiring them. After all, they were people who had seen the world, and they would not be confused at any time.

After listening to Qin Sai's report, Sun Shao smiled and shook his head. Yuehai was stunned for a moment, with a surprised look on his face. After a moment, he smiled and said, "This Zhou Boying, you are so bold. If you don't come back to ask for instructions for such a big thing, even the king dares to command."

Wei Ping touched his chin and said, "However, his method is good. If the other party just tries out, we don't need to be too solemn to expose our strength. If the other party really can't help attacking us, we might as well teach him a lesson. It's just that the brothers in the vanguard camp have higher hearts than the sky, and it's not easy for them to cheat.

Qin Sai was a little nervous. At this time, she found that Zhou Yin's behavior seemed to be suspected of overtreating power. Yue Hai was right. He even commanded the king. She stared at Sun Shao's face and couldn't help holding her breath.

Sun Shao put his hands on the desk, and his eyes swept around the map. His fingers gently tapped on the chopping board, and he couldn't see any expression. After a while, when Qin Sai couldn't hold back, Sun Shao suddenly raised his eyes: "We all heard Captain Zhou, Zhao Xiu, Wei Ping, you take the headquarters to ambush immediately. Don't be too far from the shore. If the enemy comes, don't attack for the time being. Wait for us to greet them with the crossbows on the warship for a while, you Come out again to hit the water dog. After crossing the sea, you immediately mobilized all the warships to prepare for long-range support. Qin Sai, inform Captain Zhou not to be too capable. If the destruction of the camp is too big, I want him to look good.

Yuehai and others also prepared immediately. Qin Sai took a long breath, nodded quickly, and turned around. When she rushed back to the woods, Zhou Yin had already led the Funan soldiers of the destruction camp to surround her. The long-losion of bloodshed the smell of blood. Zhou Yin, who had been eager to fight, was very calm. He stood on a big stone, surrounded by ten guards in front of him, and occasionally broke through the interception. The soldiers were cut down in front of him, but Zhou Yin himself set up a pergola and concentrated on the situation on the battlefield.

"Captain Zhou..." Qin Sai raised his voice and told Zhou Yin about Sun Shao's decision.

Zhou Yin picked up the corners of her mouth, glanced at Qin Sai, and put her attention back on the battlefield. She just nodded and answered, "I know. You and Fengming bring more people to see if there are any reinforcements behind these Funan people. If there is any news, please let me know in time.

"Oh." Qin Sai answered, and Feng Ming took more than 50 people around the battlefield and ran straight ahead.

"Kill!" Zhou Yin waved his hand and shouted fiercely, "A thousand people dare to challenge me to destroy the front camp. It's too faceless. Give an order to kill all these monkeys and get rid of one. The signboard of the destroyer camp will be smashed."

With the sound of drums, the already excited destruction camp suddenly went crazy. They shouted, waved the sharp swords in their hands, formed a small array, rushed forward, and killed one Funan soldiers one after another in front of them.

Mona looked at the destroying soldiers like a tiger going down the mountain, and couldn't help sinking.
