Five Hundred And Ninetieth Chapters Ready To Fight
Shi Jin and Huang Xin's two fleets sailed without any source of confidence. If they made a small gain, Lu Bu would naturally reward them.
If there is no gain at all, Lu Bu will not punish, but only encourage!
But after they returned almost at the same time, they brought a lot of people.
The number of survivors brought back by the two fleets was more than four thousand!
Including the remnants they brought back, Lu Bu now has a total of 20,000 people under his command!
Moreover, the most important thing is that there are two full ships of food and grass that came back with Huang Xin's fleet.
According to him, it was when these remnants were rescued, and a group of pirate transport ships were killed by the way.
The grain and grass of these two ships are in the warehouse, which is actually nothing.
But once there is a war with large-scale pirates, then these two ships of food and grass are the best military rations!
Among these remnants, Lu Bu once again selected a thousand young men to join the army.
These remnants were also very fond of Lu Bu's status as the prince of Ming Dynasty, and they responded to the call one after another. However, after more than ten days, both the civilians and the new army have successfully passed various overt and secret tests. Blended into the harmonious atmosphere of Dragon City.
And their method of shrinking their combat power to the vicinity of Dragon City also immediately obtained good results.
After the entire patrol team was killed, the guys under Liu Xiang's command didn't know whether they had a short memory or were afraid. Even if they were guarding a large force, they only released the guarded ships within five nautical miles.
Although this caused Liu Xiang's big fleet's vision to not be long enough, it was also considered a trick. At this distance, as long as the fleet behind used binoculars to observe from time to time, they would definitely notice the scene here.
In this way, it is not easy for Lu Bu and others to secretly eliminate these patrol boats!
However, the back and forth scouting reports had given Lu Bu some confidence.
That guy Liu Xiang didn't know why, but divided the fleet of his hometown into two groups. Most of the routes were pirates, and a small part were family members. As the vanguard, it was Lu Bu and others who This team I saw from afar.
And the rest of the road is still far away in the lair and has not moved.
No matter why this guy arranges it like this, it's cheap Lu Bu!
The total number of ships in the fleet along the way is only a hundred or ten. Even if each ship is full of sailors and pirates, it should be only 20,000 to 30,000!
This number of pirates is nothing to the current Dragon City!
If they can be lured to the vicinity of Dragon City, they can definitely be wiped out directly.
Shi Kefa and Shi Lang disagreed with each other about the next method of battle, and Shi Lang was more inclined to go to sea to fight.
But Shi Kefa felt that they could not put all the seven or eight thousand soldiers on this battle.
Lu Bu was still a little hesitant at first, not knowing whose idea to support, but then he saw through the telescope that there was no flagship in the fleet!
As if he couldn't believe his eyes, after Lu Bu looked at the white sails in the distance from the beginning to the end, his heart suddenly moved!
"We take the initiative!"
He chuckled, and passed the telescope over to Shi Kefa's suspicious eyes.
Like Lu Bu, Shi Kefa looked at the opposite white sail several times before putting down the binoculars!
0…ask for flowers……
"Among these guys, there is no flagship, nor is there any sign of the commander. It seems that Liu Xiang did not follow in the fleet. It must be because he is afraid of death, so he stayed behind!"
After Shi Kefa confirmed the situation, his originally clenched teeth loosened a lot.
"Since this is the case, we can really give it a try with mental calculations and no preparations!"
After a moment of silence, Shi Kefa chose to support Shi Lang's idea!
Lu Bu nodded, and immediately passed on the command.
The 2,000 ancient spirit troops and the 3,000 Ming water army that had been assembled a long time ago rushed to the port and boarded the warships that had been prepared long ago!
Whether it is individual equipment or artillery, gunpowder and shells, the First Fleet is fully prepared.
The reason why the whole army did not attack was because Lu Bu had to leave a certain amount of manpower to guard Dragon City.
And those twenty forts also need two emergency rescue teams to respond at any time.
Although the First Fleet has just left the port, and the opponent's hundred or so ships are still more than ten nautical miles away from Dragon City, all work in Dragon City has stopped, and everyone has returned to their homes. , Waiting for the results.
And Zhu Zu, with Wang Cheng'en and others, began to supervise the creation of the rewards for the first fleet after its triumphant return!
When they went out to sea, Lu Bu was almost certain that they were about to return victorious!
If Lu Bu was still worried about the chances of success in the trip at the very beginning, then the moment he was sure that the other party did not have a flagship, this worry had completely vanished!
