v2.Chapter 366 (1/2)

The sea water in autumn is as cold as ice.

Gu Wenqing jumped into the sea at that moment, felt cold and tingling, and could not imagine how to fight the sea battle in winter.

He swam numbly forward for a while, and gradually became familiar with the water temperature before his body regained consciousness.

The surrounding sea was dark, and there was a slight sound of rowing from time to time. I think the soldiers on other ships were rowing towards the shore.

It's too far from the coast of Taicheng. It will take him at least two hours to row back. He was worried about whether the soldiers could support him.

There was a sound of water behind him, very close to him.

”General, fortunately you told me to take off my clothes earlier. Fortunately...”

Gu Wenqing didn't look back. ”Don't talk, save your strength.”

The people behind him didn't speak any more. I don't know how long later, when the light was dim, Gu Wenqing suddenly realized that the sound of water behind him was very weak.

Looking back, the soldier's action in the water was already very reluctantly, and his face was white in the water.

As soon as he looked around at the sea, he continued to swim forward. Before the soldiers behind him could speak, he could see his figure swimming away flexibly.

They are really family oriented people. Even in the unfamiliar sea, they are better than ordinary people.

There was a sense of sadness in the soldier's heart. He felt that he could not support any more. In the boundless sea, he seemed to be unable to swim to the end.

How much longer?

An hour? two hours?

He was cold all over, and his hands and feet began to disobey him. No one even listened to his last words.

Originally, he wanted to ask Gu Wenqing for help, but the latter did not hesitate to draw far. The soldiers did not dare to complain. He was just an ordinary soldier. How could he let the valuable general stay for him?

As Gu Wenqing, his willingness to take the initiative is already admirable.

The soldier unconsciously stopped at the same place. His instinct for survival made him move his hands and feet from time to time to prevent himself from sinking into the water. At this time, a sound of water came closer and closer to him.

He opened his eyes, surprised to see Gu Wenqing back, but also pushed a piece of sea driftwood over. The material of the driftwood is very familiar. It seems to be the driftwood of the broken Korean fishing boat.

”Come on up.”

It turned out that he was looking for driftwood just now, instead of leaving by himself.

He patted the driftwood. Seeing that the soldiers were still in a daze, he urged: ”hurry up, sangyi people are not fools. They will send people to chase us soon!”

The soldier climbed up the driftwood foolishly. Gu Wenqing pushed the driftwood forward.

When it was close to the coast of Taicheng, ships had been there for a long time. All the guns on the fort were aimed at the sea to prevent the sangyi ships from coming.

The people who came back and the people on the ship explained their positions. The soldiers on the ship went into the water and swam far away to save the soldiers who were too weak to hold the driftwood in the sea.

Fortunately, after the disintegration of the Korean fishing boat, there were a lot of driftwood on the sea, and the damage of the soldiers was not as serious as they thought. With a sigh of relief, they began to tease the soldiers who were pushed back by Gu Wenqing.

”Tell me about you, others are holding driftwood in the sea waiting for us to save it. Do you mean to lie on it and let the general push it back for you?”

The soldier was so embarrassed that he blushed more and more when people said that. Gu Wenqing changed his dry clothes and came out of the cabin. ”It's none of his business. I'm afraid that I will be chased by the sangyi people. I want him to lie on the driftwood.”

Gu Wenqing said so. After a few words of ridicule, the officers and soldiers scattered. The boat leaned towards the shore, and they went back to the army to report the situation.

”Although it can't cause fundamental damage to them, it's enough for them. What's important is that there are not many casualties among our soldiers. It's a beautiful battle. ”

Gu Jiuge was in the tent. He received the news with a smile. ”The imperial driver and the army will arrive tomorrow. We must be careful to protect your Majesty's safety. Don't let the sangyi people take the opportunity to counter attack.”

Gu Wenqing said: ”now there are our spies in the sangyi fleet. If something goes wrong, we will not be caught unprepared. It's a blessing in misfortune.”

The next day, when the emperor arrived in Taicheng, the local officials went out to meet him, while the generals were still on standby to guard against the attack of the sangyi people.

The place of residence arranged by Taicheng government and Taiwan is a compound not far from the government. This place is far from the coast. The artillery of sangyi people can't hit here. It's the safest place.

Yu Fuxin knows that she's here to boost her morale. She really can't let her lead the soldiers to fight. She doesn't have to go to the front line to distract the soldiers to stay in the city.

But Gu huaijiang, Gu Shubai and others almost went to the barracks as soon as they arrived in Taicheng. They didn't even have time to rest. They heard that when they left, they were still discussing the method of fighting. Father and son argued endlessly.

Only Gu Hanmo left behind with the leader of the imperial forest army, surrounded the courtyard of the imperial driving, and no one could easily get in and out.

Yu Fu said: ”third brother, everyone has gone. Can you stay here at ease?”

Gu cold Mo face motionless, ”can.”

”Why?”

”Your safety is more important than anything.”When he got to know him again, his face was as cold as frost. It seemed that he was afraid that Yufu would ask him to take him to the front line, so he deliberately let her retreat with a cold face.

But today's Yufu is no longer a child's Yufu.

She only asked a few questions, then went back to the room to see the fold, and saw a surprise arranged by Gu Jiuge. She was very happy.

”Second brother is so clever that he can think of using Korean fishing boats.”

Gu Hanmo stood outside the door and looked at her. ”Although the soldiers were not injured, the twenty guns sank into the sea, and I'm afraid they can't be retrieved any more.”

It costs thousands of taels of silver to make a gun, not counting labor.

The twenty or thirty thousand taels of artillery are at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. Now Beili's Treasury is empty. The twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, which used to look like nothing, is distressing.

Yu Fu was also distressed for a while, and then said, ”it's more important to sacrifice silver than to sacrifice the lives of soldiers and common people. The silver can be earned again, and human life is at stake. ”

Gu Han Mo nodded, ”I hope we can postpone to the day when the Ministry of industry builds a huge ship.”

Before leaving Beijing, the Minister of the Ministry of industry vowed that it would be completed in three months. Now there are still two months left. Every day of these two months is suffering for everyone.

……

”After the city was burned, there was no need to rebuild it for the time being. We arranged for the surviving people to go to the inland city to recuperate and be properly settled by local officials.”

Yufu receives the discount from different places every day and responds to it. At the same time, the real battle on the sea is unfolding.

Gu huaijiang personally led the army, with a fleet of small boats to fight head-on, which made the sangyi people laugh.

”What's the use of more small boats like ants?”

Although the sangyi fleet had just been attacked, its vitality was greatly damaged. Facing the challenge of small boats, it thought that it was nothing to do with it. A big war started in an instant.

The gun projected from the huge ship had not yet flown out of the barrel, and a shocking scene appeared.

More than a hundred small boats scattered orderly and quickly on the sea. The artillery didn't hit any of them. They were as flexible as being controlled by an invisible hand in the air.

Sangyi people were surprised, and then they found out something even worse -

the boats were flying towards them when they didn't pay attention!
