It would have been better if I had said this earlier!
Ida Ichiro beamed with joy: "General, please don't worry, my subordinates actually let those people never come back!"
If you think about it carefully, what Yu Aoi said actually seems to make sense. Maybe he really thinks too much.
He took a compass and led a team, leaving a few people in small boats to light lanterns in front to guide the way, and slowly moved toward the northwest.
On the deck, the cool night wind made people's hair stand on end.
Yu Luo put some clothes on for him: "Sir, there is a fire pot inside, why don't you go inside to warm yourself."
"You are the one who wants to do great things, so don't let yourself get cold feet here."
The sea breeze mixed with the coolness of the water makes people feel a bit biting.
On both sides, there was the sound of sea water lapping against the sides of the ship, like rhythmic music, which sounded quite comfortable.
Xiao Chen raised the corners of his lips slightly: "The people who want to die are coming, how can we rest?"
"If the calculation is correct, when they find the place where the lanterns are lit, it will be dark soon, and then the real surprise will come."
Yuluo looked confused: "Then where are we going?"
"Of course I'll take advantage of the fog to prepare a surprise for them."
"Did you know that when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole stalks behind?"
Xiao Chen led 40,000 men and a dozen ships alone and had already deviated from the direction of the main battleship.
In the opposite direction, there was also a fleet of tens of thousands of people led by Zhang Meng and others.
What does it mean to repay the other person with his own way?
Since they want to live on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, they should come too!
Yuluo could roughly understand what he meant, but she still didn't understand: "How do you determine the direction of the enemy?"
Nowadays, the fog is so thick that you can't see even a finger from ten meters away.
"I heard that once you get lost in the sea, you may never find your way out."
Xiao Chen rubbed her head: "You, why are you so naive? I have this treasure?"
"This thing can point the direction and is an indispensable magic weapon on the sea. As for how to track their location..."
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Well, you think they are the only ones who will send people to investigate?"
The illuminated warships are indeed meant to lure people into traps, but the other ships here have already quietly left.
Those people probably thought they were cowards, so they turned on a few lights.
Yuluo suddenly realized, "My lord is wise, everything is under your control."
"When the fog clears, it will be the anniversary of the death of those people!"
As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but show a bit of coldness, but she wanted to cut him into pieces.
Yes, after all, there is a blood feud between her and those Japanese people who killed her father and mother, so it is inevitable to be emotional.
"Okay, you go back first, you don't have as strong a body as me."
"If you get sick by then, no one will take care of you."
Yuluo didn't dare to cause trouble to Xiao Chen and returned to the cabin silently.
Ji Hongluan also hurried back with a group of small boats that had returned from searching in front of the water area.
She got on the boat and shook off the water droplets on her body.
Xiao Chen took off the robe and gave it to her on time, "Put it on."
Ji Hongluan raised her eyebrows slightly, "This was specially given to you by Sister Yuluo. If you changed hands and gave it to me, wouldn't she be unhappy?"
Xiao Chen was so amused by her that she couldn't laugh or cry, "Who did you learn this from?"
It sounds like tea!
It was probably because the clothes were stained with the unique fragrance of jade flowers, and it was difficult to hide it from Ji Hongluan.
Pouting her lips, she stopped talking nonsense and said frankly that she had conducted an investigation ahead: "It is true that traces of Japanese people were found."
"It's just that they seem to have sent a team out."
"That's right, it means they have been deceived and they are all under my control!"
Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, turned around and landed on the deck, drinking some cold tea, feeling particularly comfortable.
"Continue to allow the fleet in front to slow down all the way. We must first keep some distance from them so as not to be noticed."
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the sun to appear and dispel the heavy fog!"
He patted the place next to him and said, "Don't just stand there stupidly. We were leading the way in front of you and you were exposed to a lot of cold wind. Come here and drink some wine to warm yourself up."
Ji Hongluan opened her red coat and sat down boldly. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "I really can't understand. The war is about to begin and everyone is extremely nervous. How come you are still so relaxed and content?"
"Of course it's because of confidence. Do you know why I work night shifts and drink here?"
Ji Hongluan took advantage of the situation and joked: "You can't just wait for me to come back."
"That's half right, and part of the reason is mainly because I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."
Since coming to this world, this was his first combat encounter, and it was quite large.
Especially, the targets of this fight were Japanese people. He wanted to rush forward and crush their heads.
"This time, I will definitely eradicate all those bastards and not even leave them any seeds!"
That cold look that wanted to cut him into pieces was really hard to understand.
Ji Hongluan held her chin up and thought thoughtfully: "Do you have any deep grudge against these people?"
Before coming to Jiangdong, he probably had little contact with Japanese people.
Xiao Chen chuckled and said: "He brought trouble to our Chu people. Isn't this hatred deep enough?"
"You can't wait until those guys hit you before you bear grudges. Let's find a way to get revenge!"
Some things should be nipped in the cradle, because they are completely bad from the bottom up!
Whenever the Japanese people are mentioned, Xiao Chen's blood boils and a stream of hatred flows through him.
You Ji Hongluan shrugged. Maybe he wasn't so angry when he mentioned Chen Jin.
Without asking, the ship's speed slowed down a bit, and a beam of light in the distance gradually jumped out of the horizon.
Night and day intertwined, the thick fog seemed to have faded a lot, and the stars still scattered in the sky were vaguely visible.
Xiao Chen wiped his saber, feeling inexplicably excited.
At this time, the fleet led by Ida Ichiro was still groping for a surprise attack from the side.
Probably the same as Xiao Chen's idea, to attack them unprepared, if not to destroy them, at least to inflict heavy damage.
Once they succeeded, their main army jumped directly on board and completely forged the Da Chu warship.
It's a pity that although the idea is good, there is no possibility of implementation.
A telescope looked over and over on the deck, and someone hurriedly reported back: "Governor, it seems that we have found traces of the enemy!"
"The fog has not cleared, so we can't see the number of people coming. There are about ten warships anchored not far from us!"
Wei Baian couldn't help but chuckle and remained unmoved at all: "I didn't expect that Xiao Chen was really capable of calculations, and it turned out to be exactly what he planned."
"Those fish are hooked!"
