"Retreat?"

Dong Chengping turned his head hurriedly and saw a great uproar in the water bandits outside the city. Some of the water bandits left the north gate with broken flags.

Not long after, President Qian, who was responsible for guarding the south gate, ran back with an uncontrollable surprise on his face.

"Sir, the thiefs entrenched outside the South Gate have retreated, they have retreated completely!"

Hearing this, Dong Chengping suddenly realized that he had not lost his moral character in front of these vulgar warriors. He coughed twice, sorted out his official uniform, and pretended to be unintentional.

"If you retreat, you will retreat. What else should you worry about in this kind of water thieves? Don't lose your composure. With your own official to guard the city, no matter how many water thieves come, they will be as solid as a god."

Mr. Qian catered like a charming match, clasped his fists and smiled, "I guess it was the magistrate who stood on the city tower, making the white strips and the Dragon King of the River in the waves scared, and then he fled in a hurry."

Dong Chengping was so flattering that he was happy. This time he could not guarantee that he could still get a good job in the thief and swear to defend the city to the death. He was in a very good mood.

"Oh~, you have made great contributions to defending the city to the death. I will definitely report to Lord Futai truthfully..."

Hearing the dialogues between these people, Wu Weizhong and Han Dahu, the garrison of Ninghaizhou, looked at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

The situation is not clear yet, and they have begun to compete for credit!

The prefect Dong Chengping climbed the city with great enthusiasm. When he saw the thieves running away by him, he laughed happily, as if he had forgotten that he had just been frightened by the water bandits.

At this moment, a servant came to Wu Weizhong's ears.

After hearing the Ding family say this, Wu Weizhong showed a surprised expression on his face and asked, "What you just said is true?"

The clerk heard this and knelt on the ground half-kneeling, clasped his fists and said, "I dare not say anything false, every sentence is true!"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Weizhong suddenly burst into laughter and slapped the female wall hard, "What a fucking pleasure! Wang Zheng did a good job, hahaha."

Gao Shan heard Wang Zheng's name and asked, "Xietai, what's wrong with Wang Zheng... Could it be that it is!"

Looking at the sudden flash of surprise in Gao Shan's eyes, Wu Weizhong nodded and looked at Dong Chengping.

"Master, do you know why these thieves retreated?"

Hearing this, Dong Chengping frowned and asked with some displeasure.

"Why? Who is Wang Zheng?"

"He is a sentry officer under the command of the Du General. This time the thief retreated for no reason. The Du General was still thinking about why. The servant came to report to him but solved the doubts of the Du General. It was Wang Zheng! He led a squad and sneaked the water village half a month ago. He actually took the water village down half a month ago. He is actually a talent!"

The whistleman surnamed Liu looked unbelievable and shouted: "This is impossible! Wang Zheng only brought the recruits who had just been recruited for a few months, all of whom were a group of unruly people. How could he conquer Wuwen River??"

After he finished speaking, a general from Ninghaizhou, a thousand general, said sourly: "Yes, false rewards are common, and this king's struggle should be false reporting."

Wu Weizhong looked at the people around him, snorted coldly but didn't say more, so he naturally believed in Wang Zheng.

The important thing now is not to argue with these people, but to take advantage of the retreat of the water thief to build internal and external fortifications as soon as possible. When Wang Zheng leads his troops back, he will naturally have a conclusion.

I imagine that half a month has passed and Wang Zheng should be here soon.

......

More than ten days later, about 3,000 men came to the shore. Most of these men wore ragged clothes, and the ones they held in their hands or hung around their waists were different. Most of them were wooden sticks and water forks. A very small number of people were wearing waist knives. These men were the Wuwen River bandits who rushed back.

Wuwenhe is their old nest. When they heard that the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to seize the water camp, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and didn't care about siege. They finally returned here after almost half a month of travel.

"King, brothers are all a little tired, otherwise..."

Before the big water bandit leader could finish his speech, he was interrupted by the angry Langlijiao, "Otherwise, what would happen? Sitting here for a few days to rest, watching the officers and soldiers ruin my water camp?"

The Dragon King of He Long's face was full of ruthlessness and nodded, "My brother is right. Most of the officers and soldiers are in Ninghaizhou City. There must be not many people here, so I can take it down in one fell swoop."

The Dragon King of Daganzi River ordered that no matter how tired the water bandits were, they had to go into the water. However, after walking by half a month on land, they finally saw the familiar river surface. These water bandits were very excited.

The "necking" sound of tearing clothes kept coming, and most of the water bandits shouted horns and peeled their upper body naked, wearing only pants and breeches, and then "thumped" into the river.

That night, the dock was still calm, with more than a dozen small boats scattered around the dock, and there was no clue at all.

There are water patterns everywhere in the river surface. Gradually, these water patterns gather together from all over the place.

With a "slam" sound, dense water bandits suddenly appeared, but the water bandits were full of doubts when they came out. Logically speaking, the officers and soldiers of the dock should use heavy troops to prevent them, so why can't they see anyone?

A big boss glanced at him and could not see any officers and soldiers on both sides. He laughed and said, "It seems that these officers and soldiers knew that our brothers came back to urge their lives, so they had already run away without a trace."

"Haha, Fork is right, isn't the officers and soldiers exactly this urinary nature?"

The thieves looked left and then, and there were more and more thieves gathered at the dock. The leaders of all sizes jumped onto small boats, and the thieves gathered together to discuss.

The big boss named Fork untied the hemp rope and said with a smile: "Brothers, in my opinion, we can take back the water camp tonight!"

The bandits laughed. Under the cover of the moonlight, they did not notice the sticky liquid at the bottom of the boat at first.

The fork squatted on the small boat board, smelled it, and said in confusion: "Strange, why does it smell strange? Have you smelled it?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a "whizz" sound of breaking through the air sounded from the north, and bursts of light broke through the quiet night sky, and a bright light flew straight towards the small boat where the fork was located.

Not good, it’s the fire dragon coming out of the water!

As early as the mid-16th century and the mid-Ming Dynasty, people at that time invented the earliest rocket, which was a rocket that used both amphibious and land, and the ancestor of the second-stage rocket.

According to the classics, "Wu Bei Zhi" records: Use five feet of thatched bamboo to remove the joints and scrape them thinly with an iron knife. Install a wooden dragon head in front and back, with a dragon tail, the mouth of the dragon head facing upward, and several rockets are installed in the dragon's belly, connecting the rocket's medicine lines together and lead out from a hole at the lower part of the dragon head.

There were two large rocket launchers tilted in front and back under the dragon's body, and the medicine lines were always connected together, and the medicine lines containing the magic fire in the dragon's belly were connected to the bottom of the two rockets in front.

Wang Zheng was one of the unexpected gains obtained from the Wendeng Camp Armory. This kind of firearm is not like bird guns and three-eyed guns. All aspects of firearms have strict requirements. As long as the raw materials are qualified, the craftsmen can basically use them according to the method, and there is no such thing as blowing up.

This kind of firearm "water battle" can burn fire three or four feet away from the water, which means it will fly two or three miles away from the water surface. It is like a fire dragon coming out of the river, so it is named "Fire Dragon Comes out of the Water".

Below the dragon head and on both sides of the dragon's tail, each equipped with a half-pound gunpowder barrel, summarizing the four rocket fuzes and connecting them to the rocket fuzes in the fire dragon's belly.

During water war, when facing an enemy ship, ignite four gunpowder cartridges installed on the dragon three or four feet away from the water. This is the first-stage rocket. It can push the fire dragon to fly for two or three miles away. When the first-stage rocket is burned, it will automatically ignite the second-stage rocket in the dragon's belly.

The medicine was about to finish, and the rockets flew out of their abdomen, and both men and ships were burned.

Although the Ming army is not used frequently now, Fork has also suffered from the loss of the fire dragon coming out of water, and the reaction is not slow, and a fierce pierce plunged into the water.

The other thieves were not so lucky. Every fire was shining on the boat, and in an instant the boat became a crematorium. In a blink of an eye, the blazing fire covered the pier.

"Ahhhh, save me, save me!"

"It's so uncomfortable, I don't want to die!"
