Chapter 484 New Situation

As for the high strength, the impact of strong winds and heavy rains cannot be eliminated in just one or two days. The warship suffered a lot of damage, so it took a long time to repair it. During this period, those intact warships acted as defense tasks and began patrols at sea to prevent the Mu Army's warship from using this idle attack.

At the same time, due to heavy rain, the lake that had been excavated was flooded with a lot of water. Fortunately, the depth of the central area was enough to drive the warships, so according to Jiang Lang's intention, we are now starting to dig deep into the city wall. After all, if we are used as a defense in the future, the warship will be leaning against the city wall.

Another one is the soldiers' housing. Bricks cannot meet the needs, so they use civil construction. Good things are everywhere now, so they are convenient. Just make some tools and add some bamboo when building the walls. This can also increase the strength of the wall. Although it is much worse than reinforced concrete, it is much stronger.

Of course, the house was separated by a certain distance, and some drainage ditches were built, etc. After all, it was by the sea, and strong winds and heavy rains were common.

Although the Mu army did not attack the Ming Dynasty due to the strong wind, this small-scale attack was still there. According to Kanzeshan's intention, the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to protect these merchant ships, but protected them themselves. Fortunately, many merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty did not take this sea route, so Jianglang did not have to worry about the Ming Dynasty's merchant ship being attacked.

However, despite this, Jiang Lang was very careful about the operations of the Komu Army warship. After a period of time, he found that the Komu Army's sea area was very fixed, giving people a feeling that others didn't know where he was. You should know that for such a small-scale attack, the best way is to shoot one shot and change the place and fight guerrilla warfare so that the enemy would not be caught. The Komu Army's actions were obviously a bit abnormal. So he sent people to monitor this area only.

After the heavy rain, the merchant ships escorted by Gao Qiang set off, with more than twenty warships in total, and about fifteen merchant ships carrying goods. For those one or two Komu Army ships, the warships alone are already ten times the strength.

A few days later, Jiang Lang's main ship.

The court has sent people to send letters saying that the shells were tested and fired ten shots by Emperor Jingtai, all of which were successful. Now large-scale production has begun. It is expected that in half a month, the first batch of shells should be shipped here.

Seeing this news, Jiang Lang was naturally very happy. In a way, the combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers will be greatly improved. Although the artillery is still relatively heavy, its power cannot be ignored.

He put the information in his hand in the brazier. After it was burned to ashes, Jiang Lang walked out and came to the deck. Looking around, the entire camp was still as busy as before. He remembered the scene like the North Wilderness described before. In addition, there was also a sound of ping-pong. It was the soldiers who were repairing the warships due to the strong wind. Because of the large number, even the emergency repairs have not been completed so far.

"Sir, there is news coming!"

Sun Yuanbiao's voice was remembered behind his back.

"What news?"

Jiang Lang leaned on the railings of the boat with his hands, and looked into the distance, white clouds, blue sky, and blue sea.

"The powerful fleet was ambushed, and only three escaped, and all the merchant ships were robbed."

Sun Yuanbiao's voice came again.

Jiang Lang had some guesses about this fact. After a slight silence, he asked: "How many warships are there in the Komu Army?"

"More than sixty ships!"

Sun Yuanbiao immediately said, then pondered for a moment, "It is estimated that the number is far more than this."

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "Eighty ships, that's not a small number. It seems that the strength of these Komu soldiers is still there, but it's a pity that Jinze Shan has done all his calculations and finally counts himself. What a pity!"

"Isn't this very good!"

Sun Yuanbiao smiled and said, "Last time, Lord Jin Zeshan refused to agree. Now they suffered. Not only did the merchant ship lose all the losses, but their own warships were also lost. I guess they would let us escort them now. But Lord, if this is true, do we really want to escort them?"

Jiang Lang snapped his fingers and smiled, "Of course, but the prerequisite is that they need to pay a certain fee. Moreover, this means that Cao Cao has arrived."

On the shore, a man rushed over with the escort of these guards. This person was Kanazawa Jun.

With his hand waved, Jiang Lang said, "I'll go in first. If this prince comes, I'll say I'm resting!"

After saying that, he walked in and closed the door.

After a while, Jin Zeshan's voice came from outside: "Guard Sun, don't you know if Lord Wang is there?"

"Criminal, is your grandpa resting?"

"rest."

"Yes, I've been busy all night due to official business reasons last night and I only had a rest this morning. If there is anything wrong with the prince, it's better to come here later!"

"this……!"

...

Seeing that the time was almost over, Jiang Lang said loudly: "Sun Yuanbiao, who is here?"

Sun Yuanbiao also said: "Sir, it's the prince here!"

Jiang Lang took the opportunity and said, "It's the prince, let him wait, I'll come out immediately!"

After saying that, Jiang Lan put on her clothes and walked out. She saw that Jinazawa Junma was standing on the deck with an anxious look on her face, so she bowed and smiled, "Criminal, look at your anxious look on her face, I wonder if you are having any trouble?"

Jin Zeshan looked hesitant and looked at Sun Yuanbiao, but did not speak immediately.

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, prince, there are no outsiders here. Sun Yuanbiao has been with me for several years. He is my confidant and can definitely trust me."

Shan Kanazawa was naturally clear about this point. After a moment of silence, he said: "I know this too, and I'm going to tell the truth. Our warship is facing an attack!"

"What?"

Jiang Lang showed a hint of surprise and said, "Criminal, how is this possible? Aren't there some small bandits on the sea now? How could he have encountered an attack? Where did this Mu army come from?"

As for this question, Shan Kanazawa naturally didn't know about it. He shook his head and said, "I still don't know, but the soldiers reported that the Kogi army they encountered was nearly 100 warships. In this case, our merchant ships and the fleets they sent were wiped out, and there were only three warships that escaped."

"More than one hundred ships?"

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment. This was obviously inconsistent with his intelligence. Jiang Lang believed very much about his soldiers. They should not falsely report the number of enemy warships. From this, we can guess that if it weren’t for Jinazawa Shan lying, the soldiers who fled back lying, but did not point it out. Instead, he pondered: “More than one hundred ships are not a small number. I wonder why the Mu Army suddenly came so many warships? We destroyed many of them last time, and the prince also knew that they were.”

Jinazawa Jun naturally knew about this. After nodding slightly, he said: "I also know this and I am thinking about this problem. But no matter where these warships come from, one thing is certain that the Komu Army warships are revived, so I also want to ask Lord Wang to send troops to eliminate these Komu Army immediately."

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "This is to send troops, but I don't know if the prince knows where these Komu soldiers are?"

When Jinazawa Shin was shocked when she heard this, she was stunned. To be honest, how could he know that these Komu Army warships were there? The vast sea was not like on land, and there was a name. After thinking about it, he still nodded hesitantly and said, "I really don't know about this, but I can be sure that the Komu Army has a very large number this time! If it is not eliminated..."

Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled and said, "Criminal, don't worry. In this way, I will send someone to ask where I met the Komu Army. In this way, I can also send spies to investigate. As for your country's ships, I think it's better not to send them out for the time being. I don't know where the Komu Army is on this sea surface, and the enemy is a fleet of more than a hundred ships, so we can't send the same or the same number of warships to escort!"

Although Jin Zeshan was anxious, Jiang Lang said it very well. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If this is the case, I will arrange for everyone to come immediately!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked down.
Chapter completed!
