Chapter 400 Boating Skills

Gu Hongxuan traveled between different ships in half a day. Every time he went, he would ignite a fire. He was indescribable excited to see the fire. This was the task assigned to him by Yang Zhong. In the battle, he should ignite the ships of the Tang Navy as much as possible, and the losses could be caused by the great losses.

Of course, Gu Hongxuan encountered enemies during this process. Fortunately, he had already selected some of the strongest combat soldiers from the martial arts guards beforehand to follow him. When he encountered the enemy's resistance, he would hand it over to them.

Even Gu Hongxuan couldn't remember which ship it was when he entered, he had just ignited a flint and planned to put it into the cabin. He found something unusual in the cabin at a glance. Gu Hongxuan entered the cabin with the help of the light of the flint, and saw gunpowder stone powder piled up in the cabin, stacking boxes at the bottom of the cabin.

Looking at the ship full of gunpowder stone powder, Gu Hongxuan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. If he hadn't held the flint with both hands, the lit flint would have fallen into the powder. The consequences would have been far beyond Gu Hongxuan's imagination. Not to mention his own life, even those who were still fighting on other ships would have become fragments in an instant.

"What do the Tang people want to do? Are they planning to transport all these gunpowder stone powder into the capital? The consequences are simply unimaginable!" Gu Hongxuan thought about it and thought that this ship could not be let go. He just turned his eyes around and thought about it.

When Gu Hongxuan got back to the deck, the ship was already under their control. Gu Hongxuan asked the remaining subordinates: "Who do you know how to drive the ship?"

After a while, the only thing that happened to Gu Hongxuan was silence, which was what he expected. They were all cavalrymen, and their training was always on horseback. Who had ever experienced the training of driving a ship?

Now the problem is in front of Gu Hongxuan. If he fails to drive the ship, his plan will be completely ruined. Gu Hongxuan is eager to look around. There are fierce battles on the other ships, so he can only stomp his feet.

"That's all, you still..."

"Commander, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Before Gu Hongxuan finished speaking, he heard someone volunteering. He looked excitedly in the direction of making a sound. In his expectant eyes and the surprised eyes of others, a young man walked out of the crowd.

"Ji Wenhan?" Gu Hongxuan couldn't help but shout out the boy's name directly. He only found out about the boy after meeting Xuan Shaoning in Huazhou City. He had never noticed the boy before. At present, he really didn't expect that this ordinary boy could actually drive a ship?

"Commander, why not let me try it!" Ji Wenhan said: "Commander wants to drive this ship out of the fleet, I ask myself that I have the ability to do it."

"You Jingyi Army is just cavalry and infantry. I have no objection to you, but where did you learn how to drive ships?"

"Does the commander plan to listen to me telling a story here or do you complete this battle first?"

Ji Wenhan's simple words made Gu Hongxuan speechless. At this time, he was treated as a living horse. Gu Hongxuan nodded and waved Ji Wenhan to follow him onto the bridge.

This is a ship made by Xia Tang himself. The specifications of the ships of Daliang are almost the same as those of Daliang. The reason is that the initial shipbuilding technology was transmitted from Daliang to Xia Tang. This ship cannot be compared with the command ship at all. It is far inferior to the command ship in terms of size and speed. Perhaps this is why it was chosen as a ship loaded with gunpowder stone powder.

As soon as he entered the cab, Ji Wenhan first gently stroked the rudder for a while and then looked back and forth for a while. Gu Hongxuan urged anxiously: "Are you appraisal of treasures? Time doesn't wait for anyone, if you don't know, leave quickly!"

It was really bad to say that Gu Hongxuan's words, but Ji Wenhan didn't reply anything and was still familiar with each other at his own pace. Just when Gu Hongxuan couldn't bear it, Ji Wenhan held the rudder with both hands and waved it hard in one direction.

Before Gu Hongxuan was ready, he suddenly felt the hull shake and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly. If he hadn't reached out to grab some objects quickly enough, what surprised Gu Hongxuan even more was that the ship slowly began to retreat under Ji Wenhan's driving and pulled out of the fleet.

At first, Gu Hongxuan thought he had an illusion, so he hurriedly lay on the bridge and looked outside. Sure enough, the ships that were still by his side were now getting farther and farther away from him.

"Hey, you guys really have two blows!" Gu Hongxuan slapped Ji Wenhan's shoulder in surprise and shouted, "You Jing Yijun is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I thought Xuan Shaoning was powerful enough before. I never thought that you, a little furry, were so powerful too!"

Ji Wenhan forced a smile, Gu Hongxuan's palm was really strong, and his shoulders began to hurt. Seeing Gu Hongxuan's excited look, Ji Wenhan had to hurriedly ask: "Commander, where are you planning to let this ship go?"

A small ship left the fleet but did not attract much attention, especially the fierce battle on the command ship had already made both sides unable to free up even a little attention to other situations. The battle at the bow was made by a few people including Shen Ming and others against the soldiers of the Tang Navy who rushed up one after another; Yan Keran and Long Wen fought in an entanglement battle; the battle at the stern was mainly between Yang Zhong, Xuan Shaoning and Yong Wujia.

Let’s look at the battle at the bow first. There were only a few Liang soldiers who had been on board with the bride-sending team. The remaining few people were surrounded by Shen Ming. If it weren’t for Shen Ming and the others, they would have been corpses. Judging from the number of people, the Tang Navy had obviously had the advantage. They rushed up one round after another, but they basically left behind a bunch of corpses and retreated.

Shen Ming occupied the position from the deck to the command platform. It was precisely because of his persistence that the soldiers of the Tang Navy were unable to rush to the command platform.

It did not affect the battle between Yan Keran and Long Wen.

Long Wen was already afraid of Shen Ming. His two fingers were still on the ground, but he was not too afraid of Yan Keran, because there was a woman behind Yan Keran to protect him. Once he had the desire to gain or lose, he would have to lose one thing. Long Wen had heard the sound of fighting from the stern of the command ship. He knew that Yong Wuya took action. The kung fu of this navy commander has always been a mystery. In Xia Tang, almost no one in the country knew how capable he had. What kind of enemy Long Wen wanted to deal with was that Yong Wuya would not have any difficulties. He was still the one who cared about now, after all, he was injured.

Yan Keran must deal with Long Wen as soon as possible before he can seize control of this command ship. Once he controls the command ship, it will be half successful for the battle. Yan Keran was anxious. He rushed to the side of Long Wen and swung his knife to cut off the enemy's retreat. He wanted to force Long Wen to a dead corner.

No matter what, Long Wen was also the leader of the Chiyan tribe, one of the six tribes of the Tang Dynasty. How could it be so easy to deal with? He cooperated with Yan Keran to retreat all the way, retreated to the side of the ship until he could not retreat, and then turned over and jumped directly from the ship.

Yan Keran did not expect that Long Wen would use such a move and could actually jump into the river on his own initiative, which saved Yan Keran a lot of strength. In order to make sure that Long Wen had indeed fallen into the Huangshui River, Yan Keran poked his head out to check it out just in case he had already poked out the blade first, and then stuck his head out when he was sure there was no danger.

"Hey, send a gift to the dear officer!"

Long Wen did not submit. His body hung outside the side of the ship, relying on his legs tightly wrapped around the anchor chain, and he was lying on the boat. He was waiting for Yan Keran to poke his head out.

Yan Keran shouted "No," and quickly pulled away. At the same time, Long Wen's claws had already been drawn out. With a hissing, Yan Keran felt a huge force and fell directly from the side of the ship and fell on the deck.

Seeing that Yan Keran was in trouble, Xue Huan screamed and ran to her side to support her. She kept asking, "Mr. Concubine, where are you injured?"

With the pulling of Xuehuan and Yan Keran's own retreat, the two finally retreated to the center of the deck, and Long Wen also took this opportunity to jump back to the deck. He looked at Yan Keran and Xuehuan with a smile, stretched out his claws and shook them a few times, and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Yan Keran stood up and put down the sword that was blocking his face. When he looked down, he saw five deep and long claw marks on the blade, and his breathing became rapid.

Seeing that Yan Keran was not injured, Xue Huan finally let go of her heart. When she looked at Long Wen, she felt that this eunuch was really hard to deal with.

"Mr. Prince Consort, this eunuch will definitely not be your opponent! I believe you! Of course, Your Highness the Princess believes in you too. She is still waiting for you to go back!"

Xuehuan wanted to encourage Yan Keran, but her words once again hurt Long Wen. His original smile had completely closed and he said in a cold voice: "Neither of you two wants to go back alive today!"
