Chapter 2278 boundless darkness
The huge fleet was moving forward with the sails blowing, and no one thought of descending.
"Ben Bryant must move forward at full speed!"
Fang Xing looked ahead, and Fu Xian advised: "Xinghe Bo, we can't figure out where they are. If we have full speed, those grain ships will not be able to keep up."
"What are you afraid of?"
Fang Xing did not use a map and said, "According to the captives, their main force should be within a two-day voyage. Now it is a good wind and can be contacted in one and a half days. Lin Zheng is alone in front. Once the other party is alarmed, will they flee?"
Hong Bao was looking at the chart and looked up and said, "Xinghe Bo, they will not escape. If they escape, they will no longer have the courage to face the Ming Navy!"
Fang Xing stroked the telescope in his hand and said, "The battlefield is not a casino, it is a strategy, not a tactic, do you understand? So we cannot allow mistakes."
Seeing the two of them confused, Fang Xing said, "The strategies of the Ming Dynasty and Taixi are repetitive, and they are born to be opponents. They went out to sea to explore the way and find the land. Now they have found it, what should Daming do?"
This question is not something that Fu Xian and Hong Bao can answer.
At this moment, they also knew the reason why the emperor sent Fang Xing to lead the army, not the two of them sailed.
"Even if it is lost, it will be a tactical failure. But once their main force is captured, it will be a strategic success!"
Hong Bao frowned and said, "But that's an adventure. What if they raid from the sea and raid our grain ship?"
Fang Xing said coldly: "Outside the sea, so what if I use those grain ships as bait to destroy them in one fell swoop?"
Even though he had been accustomed to life and death for many years of sailing, the coldness in Fang Xing's words still made Hong Bao shudder.
The fleet is gradually accelerating, and the supply ships behind are gradually being thrown away, and more than ten old warships will be their protective forces.
Hong Bao stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes swept across the front from time to time, and his heart was depressed.
If it comes to navigation, Fang Xing is not even qualified to carry his shoes.
But starting from the start, we wake up from the direction, and refuse to listen to their advice.
This is almost a contempt for Hong Bao. You must know that even Zheng He would pay attention to his views, and even the emperor would consult him about overseas affairs.
"They dare not."
Fu Xian came over and whispered: "Xing and Bo said that after the advance fleet disappeared, the Taixi people would definitely not dare to take risks without knowing the situation ahead, because this was their first long voyage."
At this time, Chen Mo, who felt that the atmosphere was wrong, also slipped over. As the representative of the Ministry of Rites, he was only afraid of Fang Xing, but not afraid of these two people.
"Eunuch Hong, it's the first time!"
He raised his eyebrows, but he just raised his right eyebrows alone. With that expression, he couldn't help but want to reach out and beat this guy up.
Too stingy!
Chen Mo said slutty: "Eunuch Hong, the first time for a woman... I'll be afraid!"
Our family is a eunuch!
Without that guy in our family, you dare to say what the first time a woman has!
No matter how good Hong Bao's temper is, he can't help it.
Chen Mo continued, "Those Thais are like women for the first time, and that man is not her lover, so he will definitely be afraid! He was so scared that he trembled all over and didn't dare to move around. He guessed that he would be similar to a dead person... It would be very boring."
Hong Bao originally wanted to deal with this guy who dared to mock him for being ill-in-law, but when he heard it, he smiled and asked, "Do you dare to make a promise?"
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Dare! The officials have experienced those foreigners. They are all afraid of the Ming Dynasty. They are just as scared as the first time women. Unless they know our weaknesses, they dare not take risks..."
Hong Bao was stunned and a little embarrassed.
He knew that he had neglected the overall situation, so he made a wrong judgment.
But Chen Mo said this overall situation in a vulgar way.
It's embarrassing!
Chen Mo is not used to wearing clothes at sea and overseas. He pulled open his clothes and said proudly: "We are like strong men who are stealing people now. The Thai girls are in a panic. When we appear, we will be strong!"
This metaphor is even too vulgar. Hong Bao resisted the urge to kick him down and went forward with a stern face to talk to Fang Xing.
"Oh! Eunuch Hong! Eunuch Hong!"
Chen Mo said disappointedly: "Mr. Fu..."
The men in the army naturally talk about the beauty of women when they are idle, but the most common thing is rude, but Chen Mo is rarely so vulgar.
Fu Xian only felt that Chen Mo's words were like wool brushes, which made people itchy, but they were just itchy and uncomfortable.
So he left too. Chen Mo felt hot all over and wanted a beauty to appear... No, as long as it was a woman, he would be willing to spend time with her.
So he pulled his clothes, exposed his white and tender chest, and then came over.
"...Xinghe Bo, our family has forgotten the overall situation. If the Taixi fleet can be destroyed, the Ming Dynasty's seafront will be safe."
Fang Xing slowly turned around and saw Chen Mo's red face, he frowned slightly and said, "Downfall or not is not the priority, and we cannot destroy them all, so we want thunder and thunder, and what we want is to defeat them in one battle to provoke the Ming Dynasty from the sea."
Hong Bao understood, "Yes, the Ming Dynasty still has to look at Halie. If you devote yourself to the sea, it will be very expensive and long, and you will not be able to achieve success in a short time. So it is best to stop it first."
Fu Xian also said: "Block them and the Ming Dynasty can build warehouses and cities all the way. When the supply can be replenished, the Ming Dynasty at that time..."
There was more fanatical in his eyes and he said, "Who was afraid of the Ming Dynasty at that time?"
Fang Xing nodded with a smile, but was thinking in his heart whether the Thais dared to cross the sea and explore that land.
They will definitely not dare to do so within twenty years!
Fang Xing made a sure judgment, because the Thais later gradually accumulated experience in voyage through continuous external exploration and coastal exploration.
No one is a fool!
Adventure is one thing, but going to die is another.
Lin Zheng, Chen Mo and others were forced to go to that land to find seeds. This was Fang Xing’s foresight, and how could the Thais know what was opposite the sea?
At this moment, they only saw a vast ocean, as if they could only lead to the hell that made people despair.
"Xinghe Bo, what should I do if Lin Zheng meets the enemy?"
Fu Xian raised a possibility: "They only have three new warships, and if the enemy flocks to them, they can only escape."
Fang Xing's face remained motionless and said, "He should know how to deal with it. Daming... can sacrifice!"
...
"Ming Army's firearm!"
There was a panic on the deck, and the gathered soldiers looked at the black dots flying over in a daze.
What is that?
An iron bullet flew over in this daze and then hit a longbowman in the chest.
The human body flew up and the iron bullet continued to sweep.
The red and white semi-solid body was flying, and the broken bones were like hidden weapons, plunging into the warriors one after another.
"ah!"
A warrior was splattered through his throat by bone chips. He opened his mouth and screamed, then blood surged, and the screams turned into blood all over the sky.
A warrior holding a hammer subconsciously blocked the hammer in front of his chest and successfully blocked the iron bullet.
There was no sound of metal knocking, the hammer was hit and hit his chest, and then the sternum was instantly sunken, and the iron bullet just came over.
"puff!"
As darkness descended, the warrior's body flew up.
He saw the ship trembling under his feet.
He saw that the deck had become a killing field.
He saw...darkness...
