A Timely Wife

Chengdong returned to Nanjiang Mansion for only five or six days, then packed his luggage and went to the northern front line. This time he did not go alone. Li Cheng, Cheng Li brothers, Xiong Ruofeng and Li Ruosong also went with him. He wanted to follow Chengdong to the north, but Chengdong didn't object this time, because the situation on Dahe's side was not easy to grasp, and Chengdong's overall view was not as strong as Li Ruosong's, so all the information collected and fed back to him had to be used. Send it back to Nanjiang Mansion as quickly as possible.

The waste of manpower is secondary. The key is that Chengdong is worried that it will delay the opportunity of the war. Li Ruosong was asked to go there in order to obtain first-hand information so that the army of Nanchu can grasp the military opportunity. If Li Ruosong thinks the timing is more appropriate , It is also possible for them to launch a counterattack in advance.

Because Li Ruosong was also planning to go to the north, the husband and wife thought that they could bring Li Cheng and Cheng Li brothers with them. The two children are now ten years old. They can get in touch with these things, which will be good for their future journey. Xiong Ruoshan didn't want to go by himself, but he was the emperor of Southern Chu. Even if he wanted to go, the courtiers would not let him go, so Xiong Ruoshan had to let Xiong Ruofeng go with him to study hard. It's your world, you don't care about who you expect to care about.

Xiong Ruofeng happily packed his luggage and prepared to follow Chengdong and the others to the north. Li Ruosong's clothes were all packed, but he received a battle report saying that an unknown ship had been spotted in the East China Sea. After discussing with Li Ruosong, it was decided that Chengdong would go to the north as planned, and Li Ruosong would go to the east. Of the remaining boxes, Cheng Dong took two boxes away, and Li Ruosong took the rest to the east.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong set off on the same day. Chengdong's journey to the northern front line was shorter than Li Ruosong's. After Chengdong had been on the boat with the three little guys for more than a week, Li Ruosong arrived at the East Sea. On, just arrived on the east coast, before he had time to write a safety letter to Chengdong, he went to the headquarters immediately.

"How's the situation?" Li Ruosong asked while looking at the chart.

"Not very optimistic. I don't know where the other party is from. The weapons are comparable to ours, and even a little better than ours. We can't understand what they are saying. We have sent someone to ask colleagues from the intelligence department to help translate. But the captives haven't spoken yet, and their ships also have a lot of steel structures, which are more difficult to deal with." The naval officer wearing a major's uniform replied.

"Are there any prisoners? Where are they being held now?" Li Ruosong asked, looking back at the chart.

The major immediately replied: "It's in the underground interrogation room, General, do you need to interrogate yourself?"

Li Ruosong turned his head and said to the guard who was following him: "Come on, go with me to find out where this prisoner is from. If you don't even understand, there is no need for them to send someone from the intelligence department." coming."

Hearing this, the major looked at the guard next to Li Ruosong in surprise. The other party's senses were very keen, and he immediately sensed that someone was looking at him. The guard followed his gaze and nodded politely at the major. He also nodded slightly, and heard the other party say: "General, why don't I go and have a look first, you stay here first, the atmosphere in the interrogation room has always been not very good, you should not go."

Li Ruosong smiled and said, "It's okay. I've stayed in places worse than the interrogation room. A small interrogation room is not worth mentioning."

The guard said helplessly: "General, your husband specifically told me before departure that you are not feeling well during this period, and you should not set foot in those places with bad air. If I really take you down now , in the future your husband will not trouble you, but he will definitely trouble me, I am just a pawn, just because I have been with you for so long, spare my life, okay?"

Li Ruosong pretended to be angry, and said with a straight face: "Are you my bodyguard or his bodyguard? Are my words useless to you?"

The guard waved his hand indifferently, and said: "Dean Cheng said, I will listen to you on business matters, and I will temporarily listen to me on private matters when he is away. I will completely obey Dean Cheng. If Dean Cheng does not order However, of course I have no position to speak, but since Dean Cheng has already ordered and repeated it several times, I don't have the guts not to do it. If you really think that there is nothing wrong with you, then you can talk to Dean Cheng first. Write a letter to talk about this matter, as long as Dean Cheng says something, you don’t have to worry about it, I will never listen to it or talk about it.”

Li Ruosong shook his head amusedly, and said to the major: "I am laughing at you, there is a tiger at home, there is really no way."

The major didn't know what he was thinking of, he nodded with sympathy, and said, "Nan Chu, who is humble and understands you, if the one in the family is too powerful, there is often nothing he can do about it."

In the end, the major took the guards to the underground interrogation room. Li Ruosong carefully read the war records during this period. The opponent's fleet came half a month ago. After the Nanchu Navy discovered the opponent's fleet , Immediately issued a corresponding warning to the other party and asked them to stop the ship for inspection.

The opposing fleet not only did not stop the ship, but accelerated towards them. At that time, Donghai Haifang No. [-] and Donghai Haifang No. [-] were in charge of patrolling. The navy was re-divided a few months ago and divided into Chujiang Fleet according to their respective defense areas. There are three parts of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. The ships of the Chujiang Fleet are named Chujiang Defense No. [-] and No. [-]. They are ranked down in order according to their combat effectiveness. Chu Royal Fleet is also named according to the order of No. [-] and No. [-].

Donghai Haiphong No. 30 and No. [-] are the strongest among the fifteen ships of the East China Sea Fleet in terms of combat effectiveness. Seeing the opponent's ship rushing towards them, the captain of No. [-] ship gave a battle order without saying anything. The ship's artillery rang out. The other party probably did not expect that the Nanchu Navy would be equipped with such a powerful artillery. Without any precautions, the four shells accurately hit the two ships in front.

Nanchu's shells have been repeatedly improved. Once they hit a ship, even if they are made of steel, they will only sink slowly. The captives captured by the Nanchu Navy were captured during the first exchange of fire. The blond-haired and blue-eyed sailors reacted very quickly. Before the ship began to sink, they had already escaped in lifeboats. Those who were too late to board the lifeboats all jumped into the sea to survive. However, the sea wind in the South Chudong Sea was relatively strong during this period, no matter how hard they tried If you want to swim towards your own fleet, you can only float in the direction of the Nanchu Navy driven by the sea wind and waves.

The Southern Chu Navy did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack. The opponent seemed to be frightened. The remaining ten or so ships began to turn around and retreat. The captain of the No. [-] ship was worried that the opponent was using a trick to lure the enemy, and there would be other ambushes behind. Then he ordered to take the prisoners back to the defense area.

The East China Sea Fleet Command issued a first-level combat readiness order on the same day. All people canceled their vacations and shifted at twelve o'clock on the ship. All ships were on standby. The patrol increased from once a day to three times a day, especially for the observation of the enemy. , so that they can receive news of any changes in the other party.

The tense but calm days lasted for five days. From the sixth day onwards, the opponent's ships began to move. The fighting methods they adopted were similar to those of the Southern Chu Navy. When Chu Haijun was so beaten that he was unable to fight back, he dispatched fast ships to rush towards Nanchu.

The Nanchu East Sea Fleet was confused by this dispatch. When they realized it, the opponent's ship had already crashed into their ship, and the crew began to board the ship quickly. Fortunately, the soldiers of Nanchu did not continue to be stupid at this time, and they immediately followed The enemies who rushed to the boat fought together. These blond-haired and blue-eyed soldiers were much stronger in individual combat than the soldiers of Nanchu. After all, there was a difference in physique. One soldier on the other side was stronger than the two of them. The number of people has an absolute advantage, and basically three or five people besiege each other.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour before the soldiers of Southern Chu beat the opponent back. The casualties on both sides were heavy. In fact, if the opponent's number was not too small, the number of casualties of the soldiers of Southern Chu would be even greater. It is not certain who wins and who loses After the battle, the naval officers of Nanchu immediately held a battle situation analysis meeting to discuss how to deal with it. When the opponent launched an attack for the second time, the opponent found that the navy of Nanchu also started to suppress firepower. What was more ruthless than them was that Nanchu Chu's cannons on the shore also started to ring, but in terms of firepower, they did not have any advantage.

Moreover, Nanchu's ship was one step faster than them and rushed towards them with full horsepower, turning defense into offense. The opponent seemed to have never thought that Nanchu's soldiers would be so desperate. They thought they could succeed like yesterday. Yes, unexpectedly, he was sunk by a ship and lost more than a dozen soldiers.

Until Li Ruosong arrived at the combat headquarters in the East China Sea, the opponent did not launch an attack again, and he did not know where the opponent was hiding. It is reasonable to say that the Nanchu Navy in the East China Sea should be familiar with it. It is to go all over the waters of the East China Sea. There are only a dozen ships. They have not found each other's hiding place. If you get too close, you can find the other party's whereabouts.
