Because Yu Dayou's temperament was originally informal, although the inside of the tent was usually not cluttered, it was definitely not neat. But today, when Lu Yi entered the tent, he was slightly surprised. There were piles of armor on the left and the right, and it was crowded. Yu Dayou sat in it, beaming like a man who got rich overnight.
"Brother, come and see! I got something good!" Yu Dayou laughed when he saw Lu Yi.
Lu Yi took a piece of armor and looked at it: "This is... a silver silk cotton armor?"
"Sure enough, I know the goods!" Yu Dayou said with a smile, "I managed to get these dozens of pieces, which just happened to come in handy this time."
Ordinary cotton armor is made of seven catties of cotton, which is placed in a jacket with cloth, sewed tightly with thick threads, soaked in water, then taken out and laid on the ground, used firmly with the feet, and it is no longer swollen to a degree, and it is dried and used. See that the rain is not heavy, the mildew is not rotten, and the bird's gun cannot be seriously injured. The silver wire cotton armor is made of silver wire mixed in cotton, which is light and thin, but its toughness is greatly improved. The close-range bird gun cannot penetrate, but the cost is also much more expensive. This time, Yu Dayou must have spent a lot of money to get this batch of silver silk cotton armor.
"Brother, a lot of money, right?" Lu Yi asked.
Yu Dayou was obviously unwilling to talk about this matter: "If you don't talk about money, you can talk about this thing first, okay?"
"Of course it's good." Lu Yi smiled.
"Okay! Go back and call everyone over to try it on to see if it fits. If there is any change, you have to hurry up..." Yu Dayou said, seeing that the person who came with Lu Yi had already started to try it on, and his eyes widened when he saw it. ,"Who are you?"
Lan Daoxing's head protruded from the cotton armor and smiled at Yu Dayou: "I have long admired General Yu's name. I can see today that the general is full of heroic spirit, so I will admire him!"
Yu Dayou looked at Lu Yi inexplicably, his eyes were self-evident: Where did this guy come from
Lu Yi dragged Lan Daoxing, who was testing the Mianjia armor, over: "General, he is the friend who took the risk of sneaking into Cengang to draw a picture for me."
It is not easy for someone who can sneak into Cen Gang and get out of his body, Yu Dayou immediately looked at Lan Daoxing differently.
"Dare to ask Gao's name?"
"Don't dare to be, they are my own brothers, just call me Xiaolan, be kind." Lan Daoxing straightened Mianjia's waist and asked Yu Dayou, "This time, I will also go to Cengang with Lord Lu, and I can wear one. Is it?"
Yu Dayou was stunned, and then said: "Yes, of course!"
While other soldiers were trying the silver silk armor, Lu Yi called Wang Chonggu aside and asked quietly, "These silver silk armors are very valuable, where did the general get the money?"
Wang Chonggu hesitated: "This... Master Lu, don't ask, and the general won't let me say it."
Lu Yi said solemnly: "As far as I know, the money that was allocated is not enough to buy firearms. The general should be stretched thin. Could it be that the source of the money is unknown?"
"This can't be nonsense!" Wang Chonggu was taken aback, "Yinzi is innocent."
Lu Yi stared at him without saying a word.
Wang Chonggu had no choice but to say: "Ever since you said you would take someone to Cengang, the general has been worrying about this matter, and he couldn't sleep well for several days. The money was obtained from the sale of his family's treasured sword, and the sword was handed down to his family. For several generations, it has been the most valuable in his family."
Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou sold the family heirloom sword for this reason, Lu Yi was very moved, and only asked: "Where did it go?"
"Don't ask any more, I've already said too much. The general has his character, you just have to accept his feelings, so that he can feel at ease." Wang Chonggu was afraid that Lu Yi would ask again, so he hurriedly surrendered his hands and turned to go to the military affairs. .
Inside the tent, Yu Dayou was watching the soldiers try on the silver silk armor, his face was full of joy. Lu Yi looked at him with mixed feelings in his chest, thinking that he had to blow up the gunpowder depot no matter what, and take Cen Gang in one fell swoop.
**************************************************** ********************
With no stars and no moon, the six Dafu ships sailed almost silently on the sea, slowly heading towards the harbor of Cen Harbor. Lu Yi, in shark skin, leaned on the side of the boat and looked at Cen Gang. Behind him was Lan Daoxing, who was also wearing the water.
The water without moonlight seemed to be more and more unfathomable.
The person in command of the fleet was Wang Chonggu, and Yu Dayou had already set off for Cengang by land with his army at this time. In order to avoid being attacked by firearms on both sides of Cen Harbor, the Dafu ship stopped outside Cen Harbor. The spray gun hand adjusted the spray gun, determined the projection direction, and then filled the gunpowder and stood by.
Under the cover of the hull, Lu Yi, Lan Daoxing and the others slipped quietly into the sea from the stern of the boat, each wearing shark skins, and holding a two-foot-long reed stick in their mouths for ventilation. use.
With Wang Chonggu's eyesight, even if he knew that Lu Yi and others were swimming by the side of the boat, he couldn't see the thin reeds on the surface of the water very well. Perhaps the Ming army was slack and did not attack for several days, and the Japanese pirates in Cen Harbor also slackened a lot. The sea was surprisingly quiet, and the Dafu ships lined up outside the harbor, and the Japanese pirates did not see any reaction to this.
With the wooden hourglass at hand, the sand leaked out little by little, and Wang Chonggu waited quietly.
In the quiet depths of the sea, dozens of figures silently approached the port of Cen...
When the last grain of sand fell, Wang Chonggu clenched the hourglass in his hand and said in a low voice, "Shoot!"
Each chief mate is equipped with 20 torches, and the six ships have a total of 120 torches. These more than 100 torches are fired at the same time, and the gunpowder is sprayed on the Japanese pirate ships in Cen Harbor. It burned almost instantly, and the port of Cengang became a sea of fire, and gunpowder burned on the sails, masts, decks, etc.
The Japanese pirates guarding the ship were caught off guard and couldn't figure out what the situation was. They couldn't confront the Ming army for a while, and hurriedly ran off the ship and hid in the port in a panic.
In the dark, Lu Yi, who was half-floating in the water, had already seen their entrance into Cen Harbor. After finding a recess in the rock wall, Lu Yi led the crowd ashore, took off the water, and put on the silver silk wool armor wrapped in the tarpaulin.
Originally, the entrance to Cengang was a large road. After the battle with the Ming army, the Japanese pirates blocked this road for the convenience of defense. In addition, a small road was dug out on the mountain wall. There were guards watching and winding up. An easy place to defend.
Lu Yixing was at the front, performed extremely light work, and moved forward against the mountain wall. There was no sound when he landed, and he approached the entrance like a ghost.
Due to the fire on the ship, there was only one guard at the outermost edge of the entrance, staring nervously at the burning ship, until Lu Yi was in front of him, he was stunned, and before he could react, his neck was silently broken, soft Lie down softly.
Looking up from the entrance, the path is steep and narrow, and because of the echoes between the mountain walls, the sound of Japanese pirates talking above can be heard clearly below.
Listen to the sound to identify, and further up, there are at least three Japanese pirates.
The dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and Lu Yi moved forward between the mountain walls like a dragonfly. The moment he saw the Japanese pirates, the dagger shot out, and one of them fell to the ground.
The other two Japanese pirates drew their knives and slashed. He turned around and slid lightly through the gap between the two of them, without much effort, he lightly held one of the knives in his hand, and the knives returned to the Japanese robbers. On the neck, send it forward again, and blood spurts out from the neck, splashing all over the mountain wall.
Seeing that the two companions were killed in an instant, the remaining man raised his knife and slashed fiercely, but when he swung the knife, he froze and fell straight on his back.
Lan Daoxing supported the fallen Japanese pirate, gently put him aside, shook his head and sighed: "It's good, good, may the donor give birth to a peaceful family in the next life, and stop doing such things like licking blood with the tip of a knife."
"Would you like to make another dojo for them?"
Lu Yi confiscated the fire gun on the Japanese pirate, threw it to the soldiers below, and sneered.
Lan Daoxing also found the fire gun. He didn't use it himself. He turned around and handed it to the soldier next to him, and said with a soft smile: "I think so, but unfortunately I didn't bring the magic weapon for the dojo."
Going forward, there is a natural cave next to the mountain wall, which is not big. It was used as a place for piling up debris by Japanese pirates. The shields, hooks, axes and other objects to be repaired dragged back from the boat are all piled here. Due to the dampness of the mountain wall, these objects also began to rot, exuding a musty smell.
Lu Yi and the people continued to move forward, only to hear footsteps on the winding road at the top of the mountain road. It seemed that twenty or thirty people were rushing down at the same time. Seeing that they were about to collide head-on, Lu Yi led the people back quickly and temporarily hid. into the cave. Fortunately, although the cave is not big, it is very dark, and there are many abandoned shields, which can be used for shelter.
After everyone hid them, they saw a small group of Japanese pirates filed down, hurriedly, apparently rushing to the Japanese boat to put out the fire. As soon as they passed the cave, Lu Yi immediately led the crowd out, killing them by surprise.
The mountain road is narrow and narrow, and after several rounds of beaded crossbow, there are not many Japanese pirates left. The soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and at this time, they were like tigers coming out of the mountains, only to hear the sound of sharp blades cutting through the flesh, and blood was spilled on the mountain wall one after another. In a blink of an eye, the entire descending mountain road was filled with corpses of Japanese pirates, layer upon layer.
The dagger was thrown into the vest of a Japanese pirate who was trying to escape and report the news, and the Japanese pirate fell. When Lu Yi passed him, he pulled back the dagger, hid it in his sleeve, and swept up quickly.
Not long after going up, he suddenly became enlightened, and he had reached the interior of Cen Harbor. According to the original plan, they divided their troops into two groups. Lu Yi led half of the troops to blow up the gunpowder depot, while Lan Daoxing led the other half to destroy the mechanism set up by the Japanese pirates to attack the Ming army. The powder cartridge that sent the signal to Yu Dayou was placed on Lan Daoxing. As long as the destruction of the machine was successful, Yu Dayou would immediately lead the army to launch a general attack.
"How about it, do you want to compete? If you blow up the arsenal before I send the signal, you will win." Lan Daoxing smiled at Lu Yi, "The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the loser will ask for the dumplings from Jiaxing Building."
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "Good idea, deal!
The two of them led their troops and acted separately.
Lan Daoxing had sneaked up to Cen Gang once before, and this time he was very familiar with it. It didn't take long before he touched the defensive line set up by Japanese pirates.
The fire on the Japanese ship in the back mountain did not seem to affect the Japanese pirates in the front mountain. Probably because they knew that it was impossible for the Ming army to attack Cen Harbor by sea, so the Japanese pirates in the front mountain were all orderly, and there was no panic.
The Ming army has been withdrawing troops for many days. At this time, some results can be seen. There are not many Japanese pirates in the defense line, and they are obviously slack. Just now, the boat in the back mountain was burned, and some people ran to the back and looked down from the mountain wall to see the situation. But obviously they didn't take it seriously, not to mention that it was still late at night. Except for the night watchers, the other Japanese pirates leaned together in twos and threes and closed their eyes to rest. Even the Japanese pirates in charge of vigilance also stood lazily against the wall, occasionally taking a nap.
Lan Daoxing reached out and patted the shoulder of the vigilante Japanese pirate. The Japanese pirate suddenly raised his head from his doze and stared at him dazedly.
"Are you sleepy?" Lan Daoxing asked with concern.
The pirates looked at him inexplicably.
In the next instant, the Japanese pirate's body softened and was dragged aside by the soldiers behind him. Lan Daoxing made a light gesture, the soldiers jumped into the Japanese pirates defense line, killed the Japanese pirates who had just woken up, and then threw all the armor-piercing guns and dart guns down the mountain. The gun could not be moved, so the gunpowder was loaded upside down, and the gun body was blown up.
The muffled sound of the explosion made the entire ground of Cen Harbor shake.
Mao Haifeng, who was about to check the status of the ships in the port, stopped and realized that this might be the strategy of the Ming army to attack the west, and hurried to the front mountain to deploy defense...
In the ink-colored night sky, a ray of light rushed straight to the clouds with a whistling sound, and it exploded with a bang, and a cluster of bright peacock blue sprinkled from the sky.
Mao Haifeng looked up and froze all over.
At the foot of the mountain, Yu Dayou also looked up and saw it, his eyes were filled with joy.
Seeing the signal and knowing that Lan Daoxing had succeeded, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and still touched the direction of the arsenal with the azimuth map in his memory.
Strictly guarded... This house is really heavily guarded, with eight Japanese pirates guarding it outside. The fire in the back mountain burned the Japanese boat and the big gun in the front mountain exploded. They never left their posts without permission.
"This should be the arsenal, right?" Lu Yi secretly speculated in his heart.
With a gesture to the sides, the soldiers understood, bypassed the house, and quietly outflanked from both sides. Lu Yi picked up a few small pebbles in his palm, flicked his fingers, and hit the small pebbles close, attracting the guards to investigate. As soon as the guard probed, Lu Yi dragged him with a knife into the dark, before he could even snort, he slumped to the ground.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he hadn't returned, the other guards asked aloud.
Lu Yi replied in Oriental dialect: "The boat is on fire, let everyone hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up!"
The guards were stunned, puzzled, and looked at each other in dismay. Two people hesitantly walked towards Lu Yi, while the others looked over here...
The soldiers who had secretly outflanked the past suddenly attacked, but these Japanese pirate guards were obviously much more well-trained than the previous port entrance guards. After Lu Yi knocked down a nearby Japanese pirate, he found a Japanese pirate who was ready to shoot with a fire gun. He threw a dagger to try to stop it. The dagger pierced the Japanese pirate's left shoulder. , crackling down a pile of broken tiles.
Hearing the sound of fire cannons in Cen Harbor, Mao Haifeng's face turned ashen...
His subordinates quickly came to report: "The ship's owner, the Ming army under the mountain suddenly launched an attack, and the attack was fierce. The firearms on the mountain were destroyed by someone, the fire guns and armor guns were gone, and the big guns were blown up... I am afraid that spies have mixed in on the mountain. ."
Another subordinate quickly came to report: "Report to the ship owner, on the small road leading to the port, the bodies of dozens of brothers were found."
Mao Haifeng slammed his fist heavily on the table, and immediately ordered: "Quickly mobilize the bird gun team to the front mountain to snipe the Ming army; bring people to the arsenal, and drag out the last two large guns; the rest, do all you can to suppress them. The Ming army that has infiltrated the port must not be allowed to get close to the arsenal!"
