Chapter 15: The warship ignites "Capture Zhao Haisheng alive!!!"...

Helplessly, she went forward with her head held high. Fortunately, she did not shrink back this time, and she covered her mole tightly. Song Sheng only glanced at her and let her return to the team.

Min Shian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not very familiar with the moves on the battlefield, so she began to train seriously.

Min Shian spent the past few days peacefully, and her basic skills became more solid. Finally, she and Wen Liu both had some free time. Since they were at the front line and it was inconvenient for them to go far, they made an appointment to go to the lakeside for a night talk at midnight.

She mainly wanted to discuss her ideas with Wen Liu, which was also a flash of inspiration that came to her when she was chatting with the big man during patrol.

"Your Highness."

Wen Liu stopped and asked, "What method do you mean?"

"Although the Northern Witches have elite and powerful generals, most of their men are still not good at naval warfare." Min Shi'an continued, "And I heard that in order to reduce dizziness caused by the turbulence at sea, they connected the ships with chains."

Wen Liu nodded in affirmation, looking thoughtful.

"So, is there any way to burn it all together?"

Wen Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "That's really wonderful!"

He was quick-witted and quickly came up with specific follow-up measures. He and Min Shian simulated the feasibility and ultimately ensured that everything was foolproof.

Before he knew it, half an hour had passed. Wen Liu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard. Please go and rest first. I will explain this to the generals later."

He paused, scratched his head and said, "It's just..."

Min Shian glanced at him sideways and said sleepily, "I'm just expressing my opinion. What does it have to do with me?"

Wen Liu understood and stood there watching her until she disappeared from his sight.

"I am honored to meet you, General and Your Excellency." The patrol captain, "Yan Luo" Zhao Haisheng, had a stern face and saluted Wen Liu and Song Sheng in turn.

The rain poured down like a torrential downpour, clattering against the tents, and everyone's voices were a little louder than usual.

When Wen Liu finished speaking, his throat felt burning and sore. He drank a few gulps of water and felt better.

"Do you all think this plan is feasible?" Wen Liu looked around and saw that everyone had different expressions, so he asked loudly.

After receiving affirmative responses from everyone, Wen Liu looked at Song Sheng. Before he could ask, Song Sheng spoke first.

"The general is the commander-in-chief, so naturally the general has the final say."

Song Sheng's voice was not loud and was almost drowned out by the sound of rain, but it was clearly heard by those present, making his position clear.

Although he was also proficient in military tactics and good at water battles, his position was a servant, not a commander-in-chief, so Wen Liu should be the first in the military camp.

Since ancient times, all armies that have terrified the enemy have had unity of purpose from top to bottom. Only in this way can they be invincible and unstoppable.

There is absolutely no precedent of listening to two masters.

What's more, after this battle, he will have to cross the sea and pacify the situation, and he will eventually return to the capital. It will do more harm than good to show off his abilities in this small place.

"Wen Liu is unfit to lead. He has been hostile and tormenting me for a long time. I can no longer bear it. I am Zhao Haisheng, and I am willing to bring ten warships to help Beiwu wipe out Haicheng! But Wen Liu's head belongs to me!"

Zhao Haisheng put down his pen, handed the letter to Wen Liu, and said, "General, please forgive me. Is this acceptable?"

"become!"

Zhao Haisheng was a general transferred from Beifeng by the Xiao family. He had served as Xiao Wangjing's deputy general and made great contributions under him. He was also well-known in Beiwu.

In the eyes of the Northern Witches, Wen Liu was a young man who appeared suddenly, so it was understandable that an "old veteran" like Zhao Haisheng would be dissatisfied, so it was more convincing for Zhao Haisheng to come forward.

Min Shian waited for Wen Liu to arrive on time by the lake at midnight. She was not surprised to hear him talk about the candidates for the rebel army. She had already gotten to know the entire military camp in these days. If she were to choose, she would also choose Zhao Haisheng.

After she understood almost everything, she was about to go back to rest, but she heard Liu suddenly ask, "Your Highness, where is the Minister of the Court?"

Min Shian was stunned, somewhat confused, and replied, "Hmm? He has objections?"

"No, but didn't the Lord send someone to escort His Highness back to the capital?" Wen Liu shook his head and continued, "Have you handled everything properly, His Highness?"

"nature."

Min Shian waved her hand and slowly walked away. After several days of intense training, she was extremely tired. If she endured any longer, she might not wake up tomorrow.

The next day.

She stood at the corner of the ship with a spear in her hand, her eyes dull. Standing beside her was the same big man from last time. He looked left and right, and finally couldn't help turning his head to talk to "Cuihua".

"Why didn't Yan Luo come today?"

Min Shian was not interested and said perfunctorily, "Maybe he is not feeling well?"

"Don't make blind guesses. That disciple of Yan Luo is simply a little Yan Luo. You'll be in big trouble if he catches you!" Another patrolman not far behind whispered a reminder.

As soon as he finished speaking, the only sound around him was the roar of the surging waves.

Things must be done in secrecy, and such important secrets will naturally not be leaked casually. Therefore, these patrolmen just thought that Zhao Haisheng was not feeling well and did not think much about it.

At this moment, the Northern Witches were in an uproar.

The leaders of the Luosaye and Junggar tribes said that Zhao Haisheng's surrender was a godsend, and that the ten warships were too tempting for them.

However, among the other three tribes, the Tatajisk tribe had fought more frequently with the Xiao clan and was well aware of the cunning tactics of the people of Dajin.

Therefore, the Tatagisk tribe led the remaining two tribes in opposing it, but ultimately failed to defeat the current leader of the Rossay tribe, Rossachi.

But he was not completely without vigilance, so he sent the naval warfare genius Rosa Gutu [1] who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to lead an army to provide support.

"See you on November 18th, across the sea to Shidao."

Duhaishi Island is some distance away from the border of Beiwu, so any changes can be responded to in a timely manner.

"Crossing the Sea Stone Island." When Song Sheng saw the crooked handwriting, he chuckled and read it softly.

Everyone present was a tactical genius, so they naturally understood what Bei Wu was planning. Wen Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Zhao, proceed as planned and set off tonight!"

"I obey your orders!"

Zhao Haisheng clasped his fists and left the tent to make final preparations for the battle.

Wen Liu glanced around and finally said loudly, "You are all elite soldiers and generals, and you are my predecessors. It is at this opportune moment that I have been given this opportunity to serve as the commander-in-chief. This battle is particularly crucial, and I am willing to lead the troops personally!"

"We must win this battle!"

There was silence in the tent for a moment, followed by deafening cheers and prolonged applause.

Wen Liu's words cleverly resolved the embarrassment of everyone's lack of skill in water fighting, and he was very humble. At the end, he boosted morale and inspired everyone.

At first they were unwilling to accept it. After all, they were just not good at water battles, not at fighting. It was unlikely that they would be completely willing to be defeated by an unknown young man.

But since Wen Liu arrived, he had a deeper understanding of water battles than Song Sheng. He taught them many practical water battle techniques. There was no age difference on the battlefield, and they had few complaints at that time.

Later, when they heard that Liu was strict in managing the army, set an example himself, never abused his power to do whatever he wanted, and ate and lived with the soldiers, they were completely convinced.

Until this moment, all the generals were completely convinced.

Wen Liu then ordered the generals to select a group of elite soldiers from their own teams and keep them on standby at all times.

Min Shian was taken to the training ground as soon as he returned from patrol. The soldiers were excited when they heard that a war was going to take place. Although the captain did not specify when the war would start, the selection of soldiers began now, which meant that the war was about to begin.

She followed the crowd back to the training ground, not worried about it. She was quite confident in herself and had been praised by the captain several times during this period. She would definitely not be eliminated.

In the end, the total number of teams was about 30,000. Wen Liu ordered them to rest well and prepare for battle with all their strength.

As night fell, Zhao Haisheng led ten fully loaded warships and quietly set off.

The next morning, the horn sounded and 30,000 elite soldiers immediately went to the parade ground to assemble.

Wen Liu, standing on the command platform, looked down at the high-spirited faces below and shouted:

"Everyone!"

"This battle will surely go down in history, its name will live forever!"

The soldiers below raised their spears high and shouted in unison:

"We will win!"

“We will definitely win!!”

“We will win!!!”

Min Shian was mixed in the crowd, his blood boiling, the emotions surging in his chest difficult to contain, his heart beating like a drum, and his ears filled with the soldiers' heartfelt shouts and desires.

The warship had already been moored on the shore of the ferry, and the officers and soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner, which was quite spectacular.

Not until all the troops had set out did Wen Liu give orders to inform them why and how the battle should be fought.

The Crossing Sea Guard was established not long ago, so it is inevitable that there will be spies taking advantage of the situation. This will also better ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

As a soldier, Min Shian's warship was parked at the forefront. She looked out at the boundless sea in front of her, and in a trance she seemed to see a man leading ten warships speeding past.

Zhao Haisheng stood on the warship and looked ahead. It seemed like ten or half years had passed, but it also seemed like just a blink of an eye. The sun and the moon alternated on the sea only a few times, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to slack off for a moment, constantly deducing in his mind what would happen next in order to be fully prepared.

The Crossing the Sea Stone Island gradually emerged on the sea level, followed by a dark mass, with silver light faintly visible flashing through the gap in the middle.

The big stone in Zhao Haisheng's heart suddenly fell to the ground. It is inevitable that people will feel scared in unknown areas, especially on the ocean. But when he saw the familiar Northern Witch, that feeling of discomfort disappeared in an instant.

The biting sea breeze blew past, his clothes moved in the wind, and Zhao Haisheng's murmurs were blown away by the wind and disappeared in the air.

When the black shadow became clearer, the flag of the Northern Witch also appeared. The strong wind was howling, making the flag rustle. When Zhao Haisheng got closer, he could vaguely hear the sound of thick chains colliding.

Zhao Haisheng lit the torches and threw them at the remaining ships, then accelerated and rushed towards the opposite camp!

The warships were all loaded with flammable materials, and a raging fire suddenly broke out. The smoke-emitting warships suddenly crashed into the chains, and the Northern Witch ships were immediately set on fire.

The wind blew harder and harder, and the fire burned more fiercely.

The Northern Wizards were in chaos, and even a genius like Rosagutu was thrown into disarray. He hurriedly ordered to put out the fire, but the hurricane was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Capture Zhao Haisheng alive!!!"

However, the Northern Witches were struggling in the sea of fire, and most of them were unable to take care of themselves. Only a few heard Rosa Gutu's order and began to search for Zhao Haisheng.

Zhao Haisheng hid in the cold water, holding the bottom of the ship tightly with both hands. He vaguely heard a few words of Northern Witch language and could probably guess the content. He waited calmly for the arrival of reinforcements.
