Chapter 1004 Water Battle
Chapter 1004 Water Battle
Lin Feng knew that he had said the wrong thing. How could a woman judge him based on common sense?
"Well, I mean, you're terrifyingly beautiful. If you add even one more point, it won't just make people bang their heads against the wall."
Yan Xiaoding's anger immediately turned into joy, but he suppressed the smile on his face and remained sullen.
“What if I add one more point?”
"Don't even mention one point, even half a point, and I'll be killed."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he took the iron pot and walked out quickly.
I just felt that my body was as light as a swallow. If I hadn't tried hard to control my strength, I would have flown off the ground.
I knew that the strange situation last night instantly raised my level.
He came to the yard and concentrated his mind for a moment. His consciousness immediately reflected that Yan Xiaoding was still standing in the broken house with a proud and happy look on his face.
"He can cook well and has such good taste. He is a real talent."
This was what Lin Feng heard, Yan Xiaoding's mumbling.
Shake your head, everyone wants to listen to nice words.
Especially a little girl like this, who is really good-looking and is pampered by her brothers, but she can't stand any bad words.
Lin Feng has realized his changes, and the performance of various organs in his body has begun to improve to a new cognitive stage.
He got some well water, washed the rice, and put it in the pot.
After lighting the fire, I looked at the stove gradually burning brightly and waited patiently for the porridge in the pot to emit an enticing aroma.
Lin Feng was very comfortable, but Li Donglai, who was far away in Lindu City, was very anxious.
More than three miles outside the city, groups of laborers were seen widening and digging the river channel. It was estimated that the river channel project would be completed in another three to five days.
At that time, the warships of the Taisho Imperial Army will come in.
Li Donglai had seen the power of the Zhenxi artillery shelling the city gate. The extremely destructive shells could not only blow open the city gate, but also cause the buildings in the city to collapse. No one could escape this bombardment that was like a natural disaster.
This sharp weapon is no longer exclusive to the Zhenxi Army.
Li Donglai stood on the city wall, frowning as he looked at the river in the distance. The black silt was being turned over to both sides of the river bit by bit, and countless laborers were working in the river like ants.
He sighed and thought to himself, when the boss was around, everything was hidden in the dark. Now that the boss has disappeared, these guys have all shown their fangs. It turns out that they already have the ability to attack the city, but they have been enduring it.
The deputy general standing behind Li Donglai also looked at the river excavation in the distance with concern.
"General, digging the river will definitely take time and effort. At their pace, our warships should be here by now."
Li Donglai nodded: "It is said that the Zhenxi and Zhenxi II are not in Shanglin Mansion. The only ships that can come here in a short time are small warships..."
Through his telescope, he had already seen the Taisho warships anchored in the Jinjiang River.
Judging from its height and width, it should be similar to the Zhenxi Army's Zhenxi, so Li Donglai was unsure about the two small warships.
The next moment, some soldiers ran up to the top of the city wall, shouting loudly.
"Report, General, our warships have passed Tongsheng Prefecture and entered the waters of Lindu Prefecture."
Li Donglai turned around and said, "Go and inform the ship that the warships of the Taisho Imperial Army are anchored in the waters of Jinjiang, six miles east of Lindu Prefecture. Let them manage their distance."
"Yes, General."
The soldier turned around and rushed out quickly.
The deputy general quickly said, "General, it looks like there will be a naval battle today. What should we do?"
"What else can we do? We can only watch."
Li Donglai always had his dinner on the top of the city wall. He was worried about the war and stayed on the east city wall.
His guards brought the food and also prepared a pot of wine, which they placed in the sentry box on the city gate tower.
Li Donglai sat alone on a bench. He first picked up the wine jug, pulled out the cork, and took a sip.
A spicy taste flowed down the throat.
"Hey, big brother, where have you been? Can you give me a hint?"
Li Donglai muttered, raised his hand again, and pointed the wine jug to his mouth.
Unexpectedly, before he could even drink it, he felt the city wall shaking, followed by a loud explosion in the distance.
The next moment, the soldier rushed into the door of the sentry box and reported loudly.
"Report, General, the warships on the Jin River have engaged in combat."
Li Donglai put down the wine jug, stood up and walked quickly to the city wall. A guard had already handed him the Thousand Miles Eye.
Through the telescope, Li Donglai saw that on the Jinjiang River, the warships of Da Zheng and two small warships of Zhenxi Army were more than three miles apart and were spraying flames at each other.
It was almost dusk. In the setting sun, the artillery fire in the sky was like gorgeous fireworks, beautiful and cruel.
Countless Zhenxi Army soldiers stood on the city walls, and in the river below the city, the hardworking civilians also straightened their backs and stared blankly at the sky.
The artillery fire from both sides lasted for quarter of an hour before it slowly subsided.
Li Donglai held up his telescope and observed the battle situation on the river.
There were three boats parked on the entire river. After a round of artillery fire, thick smoke rose from the three boats, and flashes of fire appeared under the night sky.
This was a battle in which both sides suffered losses, and it was unknown whether the warship could still sail.
Just when Li Donglai was worried, he discovered that one of the two small warships of the Zhenxi Army was on fire, while the other slowly turned its bow and sailed away from the battlefield.
The warships of the Taisho Imperial Army remained in their original locations, with smoke and fire emitting, as rescue efforts were underway.
Half an hour later, the battle report from outside the city reached Li Donglai.
One of the two warships of the Zhenxi Army was destroyed. Of the 103 crew members on board, 47 were killed in the battle, and the rest jumped off the ship and were picked up by another ship.
Although the other warship of the Zhenxi Army left the battlefield, it was also seriously damaged and barely withdrew from the battlefield.
Fortunately, the warships of the Taisho Imperial Army were also destroyed, otherwise they would not have been able to escape from the battlefield.
Li Donglai looked at the battle report and took a breath.
It seems that the warship technology of the Taisho Imperial Army has improved rapidly. Not only can the ship speed keep up with the Zhenxi Army, but the artillery technology can also match that of the Zhenxi Army.
At the same distance, they actually destroyed a warship of the Zhenxi Army.
Of course, the fact that a huge warship similar to the Zhenxi was destroyed by two small warships of the Zhenxi Army also indirectly shows that the warships of the Zhenxi Army are still slightly superior in all aspects.
After reading the battle report, Li Dong continued to pay attention to the situation in Jinjiang.
The fire on the small warship of the Zhenxi Army gradually became more intense, and the flames shot up high, becoming particularly conspicuous in the night sky.
This means that the Zhenxi Army has abandoned the ship.
Although the warships of the Taisho Imperial Army were still smoking, the fire on the ships gradually died down and was put out.
Looking through his telescope, Li Donglai discovered that the warship of the Taisho Imperial Army was obviously tilted to one side and was slowly turning around.
Li Donglai clicked his tongue.
"Zizizi, give them two more shots, and this big guy will definitely sink to the bottom."
The deputy general stood aside, looking at the night sky in the distance.
"General, their ship didn't sink?"
"Looks like it's almost here."
"General, can you please let me take a look?"
He couldn't see anything and was scratching his head anxiously.
