Chapter 62: The Spies Are Rampant (3,000 words) "It's a pity that our ship formation hasn't been unraveled yet, otherwise we would have to rush and kill for a while."
Looking at the fleet, Cheng Chuliang pounded the guardrail of the battleship hard, and said a little unwillingly.
"Don't worry, since the other party is using wheel warfare, naturally it will not only send these two waves of attacks, we have a chance."
Li Daoyun, the political commissar next to him, explained with a smile.
"That's right, then order to go down and untie the ship formation as quickly as possible."
Cheng Chuliang waved his hand and hurriedly urged.
"Yes."
Immediately an adjutant went down to deliver the order.
"No, Governor, there is another enemy ship."
As soon as the order was given, someone came up to report it.
"When the enemy comes, fight back."
Cheng Chuliang said indifferently: "Didn't you see what I did just now?"
” "But there are a lot of enemies coming this time."
The standard-bearer said anxiously: "News has come from all our warships that we have enemies on all sides......
Governor, they're trying to surround us. ” "What?
Coming so soon?
Cheng Chuliang's expression was clear, and he hurriedly ran to the lookout - the Yuezhou first-class sail battleship is the highest among all the warships at present, so there is a best telescope on the lookout, and the performance is similar to the one on the Holy Emperor, which is the pinnacle of Datang glass craftsmanship at present, and each lens is hand-polished by the glass master Wudu.
I put my eyes on the binoculars and looked around, and sure enough, many ships appeared on the sea forty or fifty nautical miles away, and the number of them added up to more than two hundred, surrounding the entire Yuezhou fleet, and even in the midst of the great storm, it was still moving towards this side in an orderly manner.
"And, how did you turn your face so quickly?"
Although he was surprised that the enemy was turning his face now, Cheng Chuliang still didn't take it to heart: "Order the fleet to disarm the ship formation as quickly as possible, and all the other ships are all fired, and the enemy must be blocked out of the range of their shells." ” "Yes."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……” More intense shelling sounded, and countless shells flew into the distance with a terrible scream and a bright tail flame, and the sound was so loud that it was estimated that the enemy ships dozens of miles away could hear it.
"Governor, our ship formation has finally been unraveled."
Just when the artillery was at its most intense, Li Daoyun came up and reported: "Well, now that the enemy dares to run, we will definitely be able to send them all to the bottom of the sea." ” "It's good, I can finally pursue them, but just sending them to the bottom of the sea won't relieve my hatred."
Cheng Chuliang clenched his fists and said excitedly: "These chaotic ministers and thieves, how prosperous is our Datang?"
One by one, they all got a lot of benefits from Datang, but as a result, not only did they not show their grace, but they did that rebellious thing, which is simply damned......
It's not enough to just kill them, I'm going to have to capture a few alive, find out the identities of all of them, and then leave their family in order. ” "Uh......"
Li Daoyun is embarrassed, the fart is complete?
Isn't it just I to destroy the nine clans?
However, the intention to assassinate the prince is guilty of complicity and rebellion, and these crimes are enough to destroy the nine clans......
However, as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune, Cheng Chuliang was still in high spirits just now, but the next piece of news poured a basin of cold water on him, poured him on his heart, and directly kicked him from the nine heavens to the eighteenth layer of hell.
"It's not good, there's a problem with the fuse of our shells."
The quartermaster came up and gave Cheng Chuliang a heavy blow.
"What did you say?"
Cheng Chuliang grabbed the quartermaster and yelled, "What's wrong with the fuse?"
Why do fuses go wrong?
” The fuse of the cannonball is usually not installed on the cannonball, after all, in navigation, the ship itself is not stable, in case of any swing, it may be able to move the cannonball, if the force is strong enough, it can trigger the fuse, it is simply a disaster - so when sailing in peacetime, the fuse is separated from the cannonball, and it will only be installed before the cannon is fired.
"Our fuses have been tampered with, and all the fuses in the ammunition depot are damp."
The quartermaster is the official in charge of logistics, from artillery shells to food, he is in charge, and now that there is a problem with the fuse, he naturally cannot escape the blame, but he definitely does not dare to hide it at this time.
"Damn."
Cheng Chuliang finally understood, it turned out that the enemy's killer weapon was actually here: "Take me to see it, and Lao Li, you ask other ships to see if anything happened to their cannons?"

” "Yes, I'll do it."
Li Daoyun knew that it was an emergency now, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Sure enough......" pinching the wet fuse, Cheng Chuliang's heart was cold, it turned out that this was the enemy's last resort.
"Governor, kill me."
The quartermaster was crying and mournful, there was such a big problem, he felt that he was doomed, it was better to die sooner, and perhaps avoid involving his family.
"Let's not talk about you for now, but first recall, who was here before you found out that there was something wrong with the fuse?"
Cheng Chuliang knows that the biggest problem now is not to kill people to vent his anger, he must figure out why the fuse will be destroyed, you must know that the ammunition depot of a ship is very large, especially in this era, there are dozens or hundreds of cannons on a warship alone, and the conventional ammunition of each cannon is calculated according to a base number (100 rounds), that is tens of thousands of shells, so many fuses are destroyed by the enemy, and it definitely takes a lot of water, at least one or two mouthfuls are definitely not good, at least a big basin, Someone came in with so much water that no one noticed?
It's impossible to think about.
And looking at the water on the fuse, it is obvious that it has just been destroyed, and if the problem can be identified, at least the culprit can be caught.
"It's his subordinate's deputy, Lin Dadong, when his subordinates were carrying the shells, I saw him enter the ammunition room with a water bladder-like thing, I didn't care at the time, thinking that he was taking oil to oil the shells, who knew that he actually ......"
The quartermaster said without thinking, and at the end his voice was already full of resentment: "I have already arrested him, and he is locked up next door, this bastard, I treat him as a brother, he actually harmed me so much?"
” "Very well, bring him out for me."
Cheng Chuliang was overjoyed, and finally there was some good news, although this news was of little use at the moment.
"Yes."
Soon, a middle-aged man with a square head and big ears was pressed out, and looking at his honest appearance, I am afraid that no one will associate him with a spy.
"Lin Dadong, whose person are you?"
There was no opening statement, Cheng Chuliang interrogated directly: "If you answer well, I guarantee that you will die happily, otherwise I will be tortured......
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Lin Dadong didn't answer Cheng Chuliang's question, but sneered twice: "Governor Cheng, don't threaten me, since I dare to do such a thing, I naturally understand what I will face next, I have long been prepared for this......
But I advise you to be polite to me, you don't have any cannons now, and if you let me go, I might be able to plead for you later......
Many of our brothers have been lurking in your fleet for three years, originally intending to deliver a little news or something, but who knows that they have caught a big fish......
What a surprise......"
"Bastard ......"
Cheng Chuliang slapped him angrily, Lin Dadong's face suddenly bulged quickly, and he soon became half a pig's head.
"Phew!"
Spit out a mouthful of blood and a tooth, Lin Dadong's face did not change at all: "To tell you the truth, Cheng Dadudu, our backhand is not only this, this time Li Zhen must be dead, I see that you are also a talent, and there seems to be a bit of power in your family, if you can abandon the darkness in time and lead the fleet to surrender to us, I will personally intercede with the leader and promise to let you live......
How is it?
” "Bastard, aren't you afraid that we will destroy your nine clans?"
Cheng Chuliang was even more angry, he really didn't expect this person to be so determined, but it's right to think about it, if you don't have a firm mind, you can't do the profession of a spy.
"Hahaha......
Destroy our nine clans?
Hahaha......"
Lin Dadong laughed as if he had heard some joke: "You are all going to die here, you can't even get the information out, who knows who killed Li Zhen?"
Not only will your court not be able to destroy my nine clans, but it may also posthumously crown me a martyr, and my wife, children, and family may have to be taken care of by your court......
Hahaha......"
"Call me, as long as you don't kill me."
Cheng Chuliang was really annoyed by Lin Dadong's shamelessness, turned around and walked out of the ammunition depot, looking up at his face and instantly gloomy, if he couldn't respond in time, what Lin Dadong said was likely to be Cheng Zhen.
"Governor, no, all our ships have spies, all our shells have problems."
Li Daoyun's figure came out of the heavy rain and said anxiously: "I went down to ask just now, and there was a problem with the fuses of all the ships, some were damp, some were all out of order, and some were missing parts......
We don't have many shells left, and we have to find a way. ” "Damn, it's a good way to get paid from the bottom of the kettle."
Cheng Chuliang muttered: "It seems that I have gone back and cleaned up the fleet." ” "That's all for later, if we live."
Li Daoyun smiled bitterly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I have been in the navy for so many years, and I don't know how many cannons I have fired, but today I was actually countered by the cannon." ” "What's the use of talking about that now?"
Cheng Chuliang hated, and slammed his fist on the railing, and the blood flowed out but he didn't realize it.
